Equipment Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

I am reporting suspected odometer fraud and possible VIN [xxx] entation involving a vehicle being offered for sale. The seller stated the vehicle has approximately 123,000 miles. However, a vehicle history report and third-party valuation (carvana) show the same vehicle VIN [xxx] ) WI [xxx] les recorded. This is a discrepancy of more than 180,000 miles. I personally photographed the VIN plate on the vehicle and confirmed the VIN [xxx] ) matches the h [xxx] ing high mileage. The seller did not disclose the higher mileage and is advertising the vehicle at a value consistent with a much lower-mileage vehicle. This appears to be an intentional misrepresentation of the vehicle’s true mileage. I have screenshots of the listing, seller communications stating 123,000 miles, VIN [xxx] ) photos, and documentatio [xxx] er mileage history. I am submitting this complaint to report potential odometer rollback or mileage fraud so the vehicle can be investigated before another buyer is harmed.

To whom it may concern, my 2023 Honda Accord (VIN: <fill in red: VIN [xxx] >) has been disabled since January 27, 2026 due to a fuel system failure. The dealership falsely claimed diesel contamination, which I deny. Despite escalation to Honda executives and NJ lemon law action, the vehicle remains unsafe and unusable. Attached is documentation supporting my complaint (master pdf: camardo_honda_accord_escalation. Pdf). I request your immediate review and assistance to resolve this safety issue. Sincerely, [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I was driving down the freeway and all of a sudden there was a spontaneous, loud-bang, and explosion-like shattering of my moonroof/sunroof. I didn't know what happened initially but heard glass shards sliding around the roof. I slid the cover slightly open and could see the shattered glass. I drove home and discovered a hole in the glass. Im attaching pictures of what I saw. I got home and searched online to see if anyone else has experienced this and found several articles referencing 2023 Honda Accord's and this issue. Including some class action law suits against Honda.

I was parking and my passenger side shaft broke.

Vehicle was taken to Honda of round rock for the integrated control module (icm) recall (NHTSA recall 25v785). The dealership performed partial service but stated a 'gateway' part is on backorder. Since this service, the vehicle has been returned to us with a non-functional speedometer, non-functional speed sensor, no a/c/defrost, and multiple disabled safety sensors. Driving without a speedometer is a severe safety hazard. The manufacturer has provided no timeline for the part and refused a loaner, leaving us with an un-roadworthy vehicle as a direct result of a recall repair attempt.

[xxx] my car was stolen from this address. The thieves were able to bypass security system. The thieves were able to bypass the factory security system and/or alarm. I reported the incident to the police. They did not hand me a report number but took my information and want this complaint documented as a potential security system issue. The keys were in my possession, and no modifications were made to the factory security system. I request that Honda log this complaint for investigation and provide me with a case number for my records. Please let me know if additional information is required.

When it is raining I cannot see using the backup camera. Rain drops on the camera lens make it so that I can only see light, I. E. The drops of rain obscure everything. Basically it is like not having a backup camera at all.

This problem is seemingly widespread from one google search! the infotainment system screen will randomly start doing “ghost touches,” tapping random areas of the screen which is distracting but also clicking on things that shouldn’t be casually clicked like emergency calling or calling a random number! the screen would end my navigation, mute the speaker, go back, switch to a different app, etc. There is no warning lights or anything. The Honda dealerships seem to realize that this is a know issue but will not replace it. They stated that replacing it is doesn’t always work as the problem returns. My car is perfect besides this issue and has never been in a crash.

The vehicle's infotainment system displays error code tt04 on every startup, preventing over-the-air software updates, including any potential safety-related updates delivered through this system. The tt04 error appeared immediately following completion of fuel pump recall service (NHTSA campaign 24v-763) on 4/12/2025. The vehicle exhibited no infotainment or telematics issues prior to this recall service. This suggests the recall repair procedure either was performed incorrectly or has an inherent flaw that damages the telematics control unit (tcu) communication system. When I returned for subsequent recall service (NHTSA campaign 25v-785), the dealer dismissed the issue as 'normal' and refused repair, only offering to address it after I filed a formal complaint with management. This pattern suggests dealers are aware this is a consequence of recall work but are systematically dismissing customers rather than correcting their errors.

Vehicle won’t start brake hold system problem, vehicle stability assist system problem, hill start assist problem, electric power steering problem collision mitigation system problem all appear on the dash but vehicle won’t start. Battery is not the issue, tested the battery it’s at 12. 5v. Hard reset the battery and jumpstarted but issue persist. Taking vehicle to dealer to diagnose issue but I saw lots of youtube videos and forums of people having the same issue but don’t see a recall open for this issue occurring.

Honda Accords have a 1. 5 l engine, which all have an issue with the head gaskets either overheating or mixing coolant into the cylinders. They’re all doing it eventually because there is a design flaw Honda doesn’t want to honor it and the car will just stop on you on the freeway because coolant touches the spark plugs. Honda is denying the issue when there’s a whole facebook page and internet, page of people saying the same thing they’re quoting and unreasonable amount to fix it almost the cost of the car. It is a very dangerous safety issue and eventually someone could die and needs to make a recall immediately before that happens. Most shops don’t even want to touch the car because it’s a safety issue. If we can get this past ASAP for anybody who has that car or anybody that’s gonna buy that car the safety for them in their family.

I have recently noticed my audio system has static even when it is turned off and when it's turned on, it get's worse. (the static noise is loud, it starts from the back speaker then works it's way to the front speakers) this just started at the end of December 2025 and it's increasing getting worse. I do not feel safe having my family in the car with me because the static noise is on going and can cause overstimulation. The only time I do not hear the audio static no more is when I completely shut my car off. I believe this needs to be recalled and fixed because this is a safety concern. I called Honda and they told me it's going to cost $205 dollars just for the diagnosed. This is outrageous. I have talked to other people I know and they have told me they are experiencing this with their vehicle as well.

Radio/infotainment system displays: please insert usb drive containing valid software license file and press ok. I do not have a software license. The dealer asked me on 12/19/25 to contact american Honda. I got a case # that day of #xxx and was assigned a case manager who then went on vacation from 12/25 to 1/5. I understand that. Since then, case manager and american Honda is not responding to my calls or jeff wyler Honda dealership in cincinnati ohio. The dealer said they need the usb with the license info. American Honda is not responding. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The a/c condenser on my Honda failed and leaked out all of the refrigerant, which subsequently caused the a/c compressor and related components to fail. This issue is well?documented, and Honda has issued an extended warranty specifically for the condenser due to its known defect. My vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealership, and they confirmed that the condenser failed and that the resulting loss of refrigerant caused the compressor to generate metal shavings. These metal particles can circulate through the hvac system, potentially entering the cabin and posing a health risk to the driver and passengers. Despite the clear causal relationship and the dealership’s findings, Honda is refusing to replace the failed compressor and associated components, even though the failure originated from a part they acknowledge as defective and have extended warranty coverage for. There were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms prior to the failure. The a/c system stopped functioning without any advance indication, leaving me without proper ventilation and climate control. This defect raises both mechanical reliability concerns and potential health and safety risks due to metal contamination within the hvac system. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue further, as Honda’s refusal to cover the full scope of damage caused by their known defective condenser leaves consumers exposed to unnecessary safety hazards and significant repair costs.

I had a coolant link problem they couldn't find or fix even after taking it in over 4 times ,how I have a blown head gasket ,also different components in my ac keep going out have had to fix 3 times in the last 3 years, both these are know issues for this year Honda.

It is unknown what system failed. While coasting to slow for the stopped car in front of me, the car began aggressively accelerating without warning. Adaptive and standard cruise control were both off. Lane keep assist and road departure were also switched off. Due to the slick nature of the road, the acceleration left me traveling far too fast with little space to stop. After sliding to a stop, I was within a foot from the car in front of me. This failure very nearly caused an at-fault accident which there was nothing more I could do. Note that this happened roughly 40 mins into a drive, which was otherwise uneventful. No warning lights were present before, during, or after the issue. This car has been having phantom braking issues and power loss issues consistently since March and has spent significant time in Honda's hands for this issue. The vehicle has come to a near stop on the highway from the previous braking issues and has lost power, stranding me in traffic on a highway. It is suspected that the same system failure that caused those issues has come back up again. To date, thousands have been spent on repair "guesses" and tow bills with no end in sight to these safety issues. This vehicle has become a liability and, as a result, inspections are strongly encouraged. I have included photos of the floor mats as they were at the time, properly secured and not near either pedal.

Inadvertent automatic emergency braking collision mitigation braking system automatically activated even there is no obstruction while driving.

2017 Honda Accord touring model, once car heats up, radio begins to make a static noise that gradually gets louder until it gets to a point that is extremely loud. It is very distracting and damages hearing, making it difficult to drive, causing a serious driving hazard. It does not matter if the radio is on or off and turning the volume down does not help at all. Shutting the engine off and restarting the car is the only way to get it to stop.

Official complaint — Honda recall not being fixed subject: urgent safety complaint – recall cannot be performed by any Honda dealer american Honda motor CO. , inc. – customer relations I am submitting a formal complaint against Honda because I have an open safety recall on my 2024 Honda Accord sport hybrid and no Honda dealership is able or willing to perform the recall repair, leaving me driving a potentially unsafe vehicle with no timeline for resolution. Summary of the issue •I originally scheduled the recall repair with braman Honda of lake worth, and they canceled my appointment the day before, stating they could not perform the recall. •I then attempted to contact ed morse Honda, who did not answer multiple calls. •when I called Honda customer service, I asked to escalate to a supervisor, and was denied. •Honda assigned a case manager, but scheduled a repair appointment for me without confirming my availability, at a time I could not attend. •when I called ed morse Honda to reschedule, they informed me that they cannot perform the recall because the software required for the update is not working. •I was told to simply “wait,” with no timeline, no workaround, and no assurance of safety. Safety risk this recall involves a system failure that could cause the vehicle to stall or shut down unexpectedly. I am now: •driving a car with an unrepaired safety recall, •receiving warnings from my insurance company that the recall must be completed, •feeling unsafe and potentially liable for an accident if my vehicle fails due to Honda’s inability to perform the recall.

Honda never contacted me about this recall or steps to fixing the problem to make sure my car was safe and running/working correctly. I would like the problem/recall to be fixed ASAP. I looked up my VIN on your website and this is how I even found out about this recall. Please help me get it fixed. Thank you.

Sunroof explosion incident: I was driving east bound on the I-880 highway (in the direction to sacramento CA) between the columbus pkwy and hiddenbrook exits in the city of vallejo. When all of the sudden I heard a loud boom/explosion noise and heard glass drop onto the closed sunroof visor and flying hitting the rear of my car. I pulled off at the hiddenbrook exit. I saw a highway patrol officer at a stop sign and flagged him down. I explained to him what I experienced. He asked me if I saw anyone throw anything. I told him no. We both looked in through the opening where the sunroof glass was shattered and saw no random object. He then advised me to contact my insurance company to see what remedy they may offer. I called the insurance immediately after the officer and I departed ways.

Power steering tpm s and traction control lights are coming on after putting in a new battery. This is a recall for 2013 to 2017 Honda Accord sport with cvt transmission and for some reason, my car is not part of the batch, even though it is experiencing this issue. I am assuming the issue is the battery management.

This 2017 Honda Accord has recently been making very loud static noises from the speakers. It gets so loud and the only way to turn it off is to turn off the engine and restart. The static noise always comes back though, so this is clearly a safety issue. On youtube, there are many people saying this same issue. I cannot upload my video, so here is one example: [xxx] my static is twice as loud as the one on this video. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

I purchased a 2022 Honda Accord sport 2. 0 in 2023 with less than 100 miles at the time of purchase. To this day it has 15,005 miles, I comply with recommended maintenence, however the car has been trying to kill me. I purchased Honda care along with numerous other extended warranties. Mind you I paid for the entire car in cash. While driving, the car randomly slams on the breaks when no one is on the street and it also does in the middle of traffic. There have been several instances in which I have almost been rear ended because the vehicle slams on its breaks without notice. This happens even when the break assist is turned off. I turn it off everytime I start the car but it turns itself back on while the car is motion. One morning on my way to work there were no cars (5am), there was nothing in the road and the red brake dash light flashed then the car slammed on the brakes. I was traveling about 45-50 mph and the car abruptly stopped. I sustained multiple bruises from the seat belt shoulder strap and lap belt. I have previous chronic back issues that were aggrevated by this incident. I am still under a physicians care for my back issues (unrelated) but I do believe this occurrence aggrevated these issues even more. I did not want to make a huge deal out of this however the vehicle continues to slam on the brakes without notice and I am fearful that I will injure myself, my grandson, or someone else as a result of a defective vehicle. I took my car to Honda today 1/14/2026 and they were absolutely no help. There was no consistency when I was told how they could diagnose the problem & no time frame was given. There is nothing I could have done in order to make your automatic breaking system fail when Honda is the only one that does work on my car. I requested to speak to the gm curtis hensley and that request was ultimately denied. Honda care said the dealership could loan me a vehicle and the dealership said I had to rent it plus pay $180 diagnostic fee.

I have a 2018 Honda Accord sport 1. 5 the issue started after getting my fuel pump replaced as part of the recall. While driving, all of the dashboard lights came on. Warning messages kept flashing on the dash. This car was driving perfectly fine before the fuel pump was replaced. When the codes are cleared, the car drives perfectly fine. The dashboard lights will periodically turn off but ultimately come back on and as a result, the car goes into limp mode. Coils, sparkplugs, breakers have been switched out and oil levels have been checked. When the car is scanned, the codes are reading a misfire with the coils but, the coils that are allegedly misfiring were just replaced. The car jerks while attempting to accelerate, and after a few miles, it goes into limp mode. I have tried every type of repair that has been suggested to me by the mechanic but the issues persist.

Vsa modulator on Honda has failed. This is a defective part but Honda has not recalled. This is a vital safety issue and can cause brakes to lock. Honda refuses to acknowledge defect and will not replace the part free of charge.

I am reporting a safety-related issue on my 2021 Honda Accord hybrid involving a failure of the heating and climate control system. The vehicle is unable to produce heat or properly defrost the windshield, which significantly reduces visibility in cold weather. This directly impacts safe operation during winter conditions and should be considered a safety concern rather than a comfort issue. A Honda dealership diagnosed the problem as a heater core failure. The heater core itself is approximately $150, but the repair requires extensive disassembly and is estimated at nearly $2,000 due to labor. This type of failure should not occur on a vehicle this new. I recently purchased the car and do not believe this is normal wear or maintenance. Honda was contacted and denied goodwill assistance, stating they have no record of other complaints. I have since found similar reports from other Accord owners experiencing heating failures, particularly on hybrid models. This failure prevents windshield defogging and makes the vehicle unsafe for winter driving. I am documenting this issue with NHTSA so that the safety implications of heater failure on this model can be formally reviewed. I can provide the dealer diagnostic report, repair estimate, and Honda case number upon request. Vehicle details: 2021 Honda Accord hybrid ex VIN: [xxx] mileage at failure: 47000 date diagnosed: 11/13/25 location: salinas, CA please advise if additional documentation is needed. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

This has happened out of the blue and randomly more than once recently. Loss of power/no acceleration. Once it had no acceleration when taking off from a stopped position, and then again it lost acceleration while driving at a speed of around 50mph the car would no longer accelerate, had to pull off to the side of the road and turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes and then restarted the car and it resumed to function normally. There are no codes in the system, no warning lights, this has happened 4 different times now. Honda says they cant do anything if they cant make it repeat the problem when they diagnosis it and if the system doesnt have any active codes in it.

All dashboard lights came on and car lost speed while I was driving on the freeway in traffic. I couldn't even use emergency lights. Lucky I didn't get hit and maybe killed. Thus had happened several times and after researching I see other people have the same problem.

On Nov 7, 2025, I took my 2018 Honda Accord (VIN: [xxx] ) to "Honda of gainesville" (dealer #208034). 1. Recall negligence: the dealership performed unauthorized repairs on the vehicle's fuel system (alleged fuel injector failure). However, while the vehicle was in their service bay for fuel system work, they failed to perform or even disclose active NHTSA safety recall 23v-858 (fuel pump), which is open on this specific VIN. The dealership prioritized unauthorized, billable fuel repairs while knowingly releasing the vehicle with a mandatory federal safety defect still present in the fuel system. 2. Safety coercion: service advisor [xxx] used safety fear tactics to coerce the unauthorized work, claiming the vehicle was entering "limp mode" and would become inoperable/dangerous to drive. Independent diagnostic analysis (obd2) performed after the service revealed zero error codes and no history of the claimed failure. The dealership fabricated a safety hazard ("limp mode") to generate revenue while ignoring a real safety hazard (recall 23v-858). Associated investigations: a formal complaint regarding the unauthorized repairs has been filed with the florida dept. Of agriculture (case #xxx-xxx). Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While I was driving my car on the highway doing the speed limit of 60mph my car lost complete power and lost speed to below 20mph and would not gain speed. I pulled over on the highway turned the car off and back on. It begins driving again normal. The next morning it was mis firing so I took it in to the dealer and this is what I was told after getting a diagnostic check: found cylinders 1 and 4 leaking coolant from the head gasket. I recommend replacement of the head gasket, fuel inejectors, and spark plugs. Head may need resurfaced. Included is also oil change.

Evaporator for ac failing. This poses a risk for drivers not having property ac in different weather and is extremely dangerous with children. Issue was found by the Honda dealership. I brought this issue up with them on a previous visit after hearing a strange noise, said everything was fine then a week later it goes out and only blowing hot air into vehicle.
