I was driving with my girlfriend. We were going to a place just outside of town. We heard a loud explosion. I thought my rear window had shattered at first. I looked back and saw that it was intact. I looked up and pulled the panel covering my sunroof back just a little bit. I saw that it was shattered. I closed the panel because I didn’t want the shattered glass to fall on us. It happened suddenly and out of nowhere. It could have fallen on us if I had the panel open and the sunroof open. As I drove still in shock as to what happened the shattered glass flew back into the vehicles behind me.

On 11/2/2026 around 3 pm was driving down highway when sunroof blew out. Nothing hit the car and was not near any overpass. Luckily I was able to grab the visor and prevent it from ripping open which would of cause more glass to enter the driving compartment. Need to speak with dealership no warning signs prior to explosion.

The vehicle's infotainment system displays an ota software update error message on every startup. Honda dealerships are unable to address this issue without further intervention and software updates from Honda corporate. Dealer has stated that this issue may interfere with reliable over-the-air software updates, including any potential safety-related updates delivered through this ota system.

The rear defroster was turned on while the vehicle was being driven to clear the rear window. Shortly afterward, the window shattered from the inside. The tint film on my window held the shattered glass in place and prevented it from falling out. No. However, when I took my vehicle to ace auto glass in kahului, maui, for a window replacement, they told me that several other vehicles of the same make and model had experienced the same issue and been brought in for repairs within the past few days or weeks. This has resulted in significant expenses for the affected owners.

Description: this is my second NHTSA complaint regarding unprompted automatic emergency braking in this vehicle. While driving at normal speed on [xxx], with no obstacle, pedestrian, or vehicle ahead, the vehicle's forward collision system activated without warning — audible alert sounded followed by the vehicle automatically applying hard braking and coming to an abrupt stop in the roadway. There was no obstruction, stopped traffic, or hazard present to justify the activation. I had 4 passengers in the vehicle at the time, including two children. The vehicle came to a sudden, forceful stop, creating a risk of rear-end collision from following traffic and a jolt risk to occupants. This is a recurring defect — I filed a prior NHTSA complaint for a similar unprompted braking event [reference no-xxx ] that resulted in a shoulder/neck injury to me as well as headache. Both incidents are documented on dash camera video and audio, including the audible system alert preceding each braking event. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicles speakers plays a loud glitchy static like noise. It has to do with the premium amp and the audio unit. Can become too loud to hear emergency service vehicles coming by.

Infotainment system glitching: "ghost touch"; the screen is not registering my touches and randomly selecting/pushing buttons all on its own. Took it to Honda dealership and they have no answer or fix. This happens from time to time while driving, causing a huge safety concern. Extremely distracting to me, the driver. Everywhere I go to get answers, I only get "issue is known to manufacturer but no fix available; they are currently working on a fix". This has happened multiple times intermittently since I've purchased the vehicle in 2021.

While driving on interstate highway at normal highway speed car sun roof glass shattered without being impacted by anything to my knowledge. Due to the cover being pulled closed the glass did not rain down into passenger compartment but otherwise it could have.

I was driving my car on the highway when suddenly my passenger side airbags deployed from the passenger seat & the ceiling (headliner) without a collision. The police came to the scene & said that it was unsafe to drive the vehicle.

I am having an issue with the abs/vsa module for my vehicle. The abs, vsa, brake and eps lights illuminate on the dashboard randomly. I took my car to a Honda service center and I was informed that the module needed to be replaced at the cost of over $3000 for the module and another $500 for the labor. I was told that this is a common issue with Honda Accord from 2013 - 2017 model years.

Vehicle infotaiment screen glitches and therefore is not making user access all car warnings ans switches screen during driving specially if using the navigation feature.

I attempted to contact mcconnell Honda in montgomery alabama; which is now cannon Honda montgomery about my 2006 Honda Accord v6. To my understanding there was a recall for the power steering feed hose. I don't recall being contacted when the recall was issued. My last attempts to get my car scheduled was October 2, 2026 and October 3,2026. Now the pump has seized and broken my drive belt. I need assistance with getting clarification about the time frame of issued recalls being fixed by dealership /Honda certified shop. The failure of pump now caused another issue. My car now is inoperable.

This could cause a major accident. I was turning into a parking lot and lost power. Had to cut the engine off, and hurry up and restart it just to get out the way.

My 2013 Honda Accord is currently at an authorized Honda dealership in mississippi for a safety recall involving the driveshafts (axles). I purchased this vehicle in minnesota and drove it there for approximately five years before moving to mississippi. Given Honda’s published information identifying road salt and DE-icing chemicals as contributing factors in driveshaft corrosion associated with this recall, I believe my vehicle’s history of use in minnesota is relevant to the corrosion now affecting the repair. The dealership has informed me that it cannot remove the affected driveshafts because corrosion is preventing their removal. I was told that additional undercarriage components may need to be cut out and replaced to complete the recall repair. Honda has denied my request for additional financial assistance. This leaves me facing potentially significant out-of-pocket expenses to address corrosion that is preventing the completion of a safety recall. I am concerned that the safety recall remains unresolved and that I may be unable to obtain the necessary repair because of the additional costs. Honda’s recall information identifies the risk that a corroded driveshaft could break, potentially causing a loss of motive power or allowing the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not set. I respectfully request that NHTSA review the circumstances, including the vehicle’s history in a state where road salt is used, the dealership’s inability to complete the recall repair because of corrosion, and Honda’s denial of additional assistance. I would appreciate clarification regarding whether further action is warranted to ensure that the recall repair can be completed safely and that the manufacturer’s approved repair procedure is being followed. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Honda dealership. I can provide the dealership’s findings and Honda’s response upon request.

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. To date, Honda has not provided a software patch for the issue.

Hello, I am requesting immediate attention to an issue with my vehicle that I believe is related to a factory defect. The recall service was completed, but the problem was not corrected. The warning lights are still illuminated on the instrument cluster, including acc and lkas. Since this issue appears to be related to a factory defect and the vehicle is still under warranty, I am requesting that the vehicle be properly diagnosed and repaired under the factory warranty at no cost to me. I am also concerned about the safety of operating the vehicle while these warning lights remain on. Please document this concern on the repair order and provide me with a clear explanation of the cause and the repairs needed. Please treat this as an urgent warranty repair request.

Formal complaint regarding repeated warning lights and $2,600 turbocharger repair recommendation – 2018 Honda Accord dear Honda customer service / dealership management, I am writing to formally express my concern and frustration regarding ongoing issues with my 2018 Honda Accord and the diagnosis and repair recommendation I have received from the dealership. My vehicle has been experiencing an intermittent problem where multiple warning lights and/or error indicators on the dashboard come on at the same time. The problem does not remain consistently active. The warning lights may stay on for several days, then disappear, and later return again. This has happened multiple times. Because the issue is intermittent, I have attempted to have the vehicle properly diagnosed rather than simply replacing parts based on a temporary warning or error code. I have also had a diagnostic scanner connected to the vehicle. At various times, the scanner has not shown an active problem or has not provided a clear explanation that would justify replacing a major and expensive component. Despite the intermittent nature of the problem, I have now been advised that I may need to spend approximately $2,600 to replace the turbocharger due to an underboost condition. I have serious concerns about this recommendation. First, I want to understand exactly how the dealership determined that the turbocharger itself has failed and that replacing the turbocharger will actually resolve the underlying problem. An “underboost” condition or related diagnostic code does not necessarily, by itself, establish that the turbocharger is defective. There can potentially be other causes of an underboost condition, including issues involving boost-control components, hoses, connections, sensors, vacuum or pressure leaks, wiring, electronic controls, or other related components.

I hit a pot hole that caused a blow out and sent me flipping down an embankment and landed in a field upside down.

I am not sure what component failed. My lights on my dash will not go off. I have done everything I was told to do, ever down to a new battery. & they will not go off. My car will not go over a certain speed. Before this, there were no problems. No warning lights & it was driving perfectly fine. Please help. When I researched this issue, I noticed a million others having the same problem. There has to be a recall on these Honda’s. Let alone, just a simple answer as to why this is happening.

1-the supplemental restraint system (srs) / active collision avoidance system failed. Warning lights are actively displayed on the dashboard indicating that the srs and collision mitigation systems are disabled/malfunctioning. The vehicle is parked and available for inspection upon request 2- because the srs / collision safety system is completely non-functional, the primary driver and passengers are operating a vehicle where airbags and active restraint systems may fail to deploy during a crash, presenting an immediate safety risk on public roads. 3-yes. The safety defect was identified, but the selling dealership refused to provide assistance or perform the necessary repairs to resolve the active safety defect. 4-the vehicle issue was reported directly to the selling dealership, but they failed to complete repairs. Additionally, a formal complaint has been filed and opened with the state dmv vehicle safety complaint unit to investigate the unroadworthy condition of the vehicle. 5-srs and collision system warning indicators appeared on the dashboard. Upon inspecting repair options, the vehicle warranty company confirmed that srs/collision system components are strictly excluded from coverage, leaving an unaddressed safety defect. 1. Attempted warranty repair: contacted the extended warranty provider, who formally denied coverage because srs and collision systems are excluded under the policy terms.   2. Contacted selling dealership: reached out directly to the dealership to address the unroadworthy srs safety fault; the dealer remained non-responsive and failed to resolve the issue.   3. Escalated to state dmv: opened an official case with the state dmv vehicle safety complaint unit regarding the selling of a vehicle with an active, unaddressed srs safety defect.   4. Escalated to financing lender (credit acceptance): sent formal notice to the auto loan holder requesting assistance or escalation; the lender refused to assist.

Had a flat tire. Found that I had no spare just this pump. It had two cords and a little instruction pamphlet. It said to plug into the 12v socket in the car. My socket is in the console of my car. I plugged it in but I could not tell if the pump had power. So outside the car with my car door open I turned it on. It made a squealing noise. So I went to shut it off the fix a flat side of the pump blew up. Fix a flat blew all over the place and would have gotten in my eyes except I had my sun glasses on. This pump is very dangerous for this reason.

The panel computer says "the system updates failed, please see dealer", however the dealership has assisted with the panel and advise the problem needs to remedied by Honda directly. Having the issue presnt can infer with the function and safety of the vehicle's computing system.

Component: visibility--exterior rearview mirror, passenger side. While driving normally, the passenger-side exterior rearview mirror glass/holder assembly suddenly shattered and completely detached from the mirror housing. There had been no known collision or contact with another vehicle or object. The passenger window was open. The detached mirror glass/holder assembly entered through the open passenger window and landed on the passenger seat. Numerous small fragments of mirror glass were also deposited inside the passenger compartment, including on the passenger seat and dashboard. After the incident, the passenger-side mirror housing remained attached to the vehicle and remained in its normal extended operating position. The housing did not fold from the event and does not exhibit obvious significant collision damage. The detached mirror assembly and photographs have been preserved. Photographs show the exterior mirror housing,m the exposed internal adjustment mechanism, the shattered mirror assembly on the passenger seat, the shattered glass and the rear of the detached mirror holder/adjustment assembly. I am concerned that this may represent a failure of the mirror glass/holder or its attachment mechanism rather than ordinary collision damage. Because the mirror assembly and glass fragments entered the occupied passenger compartment, I believe the event presents a potential safety hazard to vehicle occupants. I am requesting that NHTSA retain this complaint for comparison with similar reports involving Honda Accord exterior mirror glass shattering or detachment.

My Honda Accord has a recurring infotainment/touchscreen malfunction commonly described as “phantom touch” or “ghost touch. ” the touchscreen was replaced approximately one year ago under warranty for the same issue. The problem has now returned and is significantly worse. The infotainment system activates and changes functions without any input from the driver. The vehicle has experienced the following: stereo turns on unexpectedly at an alarmingly high volume. Volume increases and decreases on its own. Radio stations change without driver input. The system automatically places phone calls without driver input. Phone connectivity turns off and back on by itself. Touchscreen selections and menus activate or change on their own. The backup camera does not always display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. These failures occur unpredictably, including while the vehicle is being operated, and create a significant driver distraction. The sudden high-volume audio and unexpected activation of phone, radio, and touchscreen functions can divert the driver’s attention from the road. I am particularly concerned that the backup camera intermittently fails to display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Honda previously replaced the touchscreen under warranty because of the same malfunction. I recently returned the vehicle to pensacola Honda in pensacola, florida, after the problem recurred. I was advised by the service manager that Honda considers the issue a programming problem and that no further repair or replacement would be performed. The problem remains unresolved and continues to occur. The prior touchscreen replacement did not provide a lasting correction. Because the system continues to activate functions without driver input and the backup camera does not consistently display when the vehicle is placed in reverse, I am reporting this recurring malfunction to NHTSA as a vehicle safety concern.

The warning goes for everything that is on the dashboard. There are no safety features for the car that helps to protect the car and other cars. There are no warnings. This car is dangerous for everyone. No emergency brakes.

My Honda 2017 Accord hybrid has begun emitting an incredibly loud static noise that persists for long periods of time. Waldorf Honda in waldorf, MD, has refused to fix this known problem with this make/model of car. I can no longer drive with anyone in the car and have to wear noise-cancelling plugs just to go to work or do any kind of errands in the car.

Head unit touch screen will occasionally, uncontrollably create multiple phantom touches all over the screen, multiple per second continuously. Driver cannot resolve while in motion. Driver cannot cannot click away while the issue is occurring as the issue seems to mask real input. Very distracting not only visually, but hearing as well. Worst case the car could inadvertently contact emergency services via phones or cars sos capabilities. Occurs at any / all speeds. Multiple reported issues online and Honda has done nothing.

A loud static sound has been sporadically coming out of my 2016 Honda Accord, which startled me and my daughter while driving a couple of times while driving. This sound appears to come out of the speakers; we turn off the stereo system, and the sound continues. It is very dangerous, as the sound is extremely loud; it has happened out of nowhere while driving. This has been happening for a couple of months last time it happened was 8/30 that I could not drive as teh sound was too loud. Please help, as this could cause an accident due to the unexpectedly loud sound, as it distracts and disorients the driver and passengers in the vehicle.

Have had ongoing issues with audio display dashboard crashes. And also airplay not working. The are videos all over the in the internet about these issues, including youtube videos. This is not isolated. The concern is that while driving or using airplay map directions for example the unit disconnects and thus creates distractions while driving. This is unnecessary and surely can cause accidents. Here a link with over 40,000 views. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

On xxx I got an error on my vehicle's infotainment system saying "ota update error code tt04. Update unavailable, see your dealer".

The radio outputs very loud static whether the radio is on or off. The static is so loud that it is difficult to hear emergency vehicles. Yes, dealerships have recreated the noise. There are no warning lights or sounds and seems to happen when the temperature is very hot.
