Equipment Problems of Honda Accord - part 2

I would like to report a potential safety defect involving a Honda Accord hybrid sport, model year 2025/2026, which I rented in [xxx]. During a highway drive with my wife and our two children, my right foot slipped behind the plastic side panel of the center console, next to the accelerator pedal. My foot became caught in this area, restricting its normal movement and access to the accelerator pedal. This created a highly dangerous situation and could potentially result in unintended acceleration, an inability to operate the accelerator normally, or a loss of control of the vehicle. Fortunately, no collision or physical damage occurred. I am concerned that the design or positioning of the plastic side panel may create a potential safety risk for other vehicles of the same model or model generation. I am reporting this matter because I believe it should be assessed by the appropriate safety and engineering authorities. Vehicle information: * make: Honda * model: Accord hybrid sport * model year: 2025/2026 * approximate mileage: 1,900 miles * vehicle type: rental vehicle * location of incident: [xxx] * VIN: currently unavailable; I have requested it from the rental company * rental company: alamo * rental period: 18 days in xxx I have photographs showing the relevant area of the vehicle. The photographs were taken while the vehicle was stationary, with the engine switched off. They do not show the incident occurring while driving, but they illustrate the area where my foot became trapped. I also contacted Honda directly to report this concern. Honda’s customer service representative repeatedly requested the VIN and stated that further assistance could not proceed without it. I explained that the vehicle was a rental and that I did not currently have the VIN. The concern was not substantively reviewed during information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I am writing to formally report a serious, recurring safety hazard involving the infotainment unit in my Honda Accord sport. While driving, the infotainment screen unexpectedly resets, shuts down, switches audio channels/radio stations, and drops live navigation/maps. These spontaneous failures cause sudden, unpredictable driver distraction and eliminate essential turn-by-turn navigation during active trips. Because this defect compromises my ability to keep my full attention on the road, it poses a direct safety hazard. I have recorded video evidence documenting these sudden reboots and malfunctions while the vehicle is in operation. Video like is below. [xxx] this has been happening for a few years but I have never been able to get it on video until now. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

This has happened on numerous of occasions. All the lights appear on the dash as I'm driving. I've noticed they only appear when I'm driving on rough roads or just sitting in the car while it's running. The next day or so, the lights are off. This should be a recall. So many people are having the same issue.

I have a 2018 Honda Accord. It used to have only wired carplay. I paid a Honda dealer for the official advertised wireless carplay upgrade. Over a year later suddenly the head unit doesn't work. It just shows "please insert usb drive containing valid software license file, and press ok button. " many people online are reporting this issue. The Honda dealer that did my original install refuses to fix this issue free of charge, and they are unable to assure me that they are aware of the issue and have a confirmed fix. I refuse to pay them to do a diagnostic just for them to tell me they can't fix it, or to give me a temporary fix that will break again later.

My 2025 Honda Accord hybrid touring has an unresolved tire repair kit safety recall, NHTSA 26v-366, Honda campaign dov. I contacted bay ridge Honda in [xxx], on xxx, to request a recall repair appointment. I was told the necessary parts were unavailable.

Issues with the infotainment system - the screen flickers and switches constantly while driving which is a distraction and safety issue. Honda has told us in the past that the issue was with the usb cord being used but that is not it. This issue now happens anytime, not just when the usb is connected. All of the following has occurred: unexpected screen flashing/flickering; phantom or uncontrolled touchscreen inputs; unexpected menu changes; changes to radio stations or audio sources; sudden volume changes or unexpected sounds; navigation changes, cancellation, or rerouting; unexpected phone calls; loss of android auto functionality; freezing or failure to respond to the driver's actual input; system restarting or turning itself on; interference with other vehicle settings. These behaviors can occur while the vehicle is moving or sitting still.

I was driving on the hwy going about 75 mph which is the posted speed when all of a sudden my car went into limp mode almost causing a 18 wheeler to run over top of my car with me and my child in it no warning or anything and the car would only go about 20 miles per hour after of that and now all the lights are on in the dash only have a 115000 miles on the car at this time very unsafe and gonna cause someone to get killed because of something falling on this car.

I was driving on the highway in michigan, the speed limit is 70 mph. All of a sudden, I noticed that my car acceleration was not working. It ended up my engine misfired and in doing so, I could not go more than 20 mph on the actual highway!!! it was absolutely terrifying, even when I put on my emergency lights, I had to find a place to safely pull aside. I still had to pull out in front of someone to try to get off the exit, so pulling out in front of someone at 20 mph on the highway was petrifying. Once, I finally was able to pull into a safe place. I immediately called my insurance company and Honda about the misfiring of my engine. My car was then towed to a Honda dealership, where technicians diagnosed a blown head gasket caused by coolant leaking into a cylinder. The only warning light was the “check engine” flashing light when I was unable to drive more than 20 mph. My vehicle went limp. The repair required replacement of the head gasket at significant personal expense about $6k +.

Just adding my vehicle due to using my plate for for a previous vehicle and wanted to list my current vehicle using those plates to register it for the possible safety recall listed for the gasket issue since my car seems to meet those requirements listed for the year and engine size.

Recall for my car doesn't apply to my car. I called the Honda dealer and America Honda they aren't helping me take recall off. My car won't pass vehicle safety inspection due to this recall. I'm ready to take legal action.

My car stalled stopped and takes a while to turn on , all lights turned on . . Coded came back and showed it was fuel pressure regulator / fuel pump. I believe it is part of the recalls put in place for other Honda Accord lx as well since I’m having same problem.

The oem audio/navigation system in my 2016 Honda Accord is emitting extremely loud static from all speakers after 10 minutes of the engine on. This occurs even when the audio system is turned off. It is extremely distracting while driving as there is no way to make it stop. I had the Honda dealership look at it today, they just say it is an internal problem. The internet and youtube is full of people with the exact same issue, from the same year range of Honda cars. There was no warning, it just started one day.

Air conditioning failure: the a/c was blowing warm air on the first day of ownership. • cooling system failure: the vehicle subsequently experienced overheating issues and left me stranded. • coolant loss and radiator leak: all star Honda identified a leaking radiator and found the cooling system out of coolant. • failed thermostat: a failed thermostat was identified during the diagnostic and repair process. • stop-leak substance found in the cooling system: stop-leak material was observed in the cooling system. I have concerns about why it was present and not disclosed initially • water pump and cooling-system repairs: repairs included work on the thermostat and water pump, followed by radiator replacement and a coolant flush. • continued overheating concerns: despite repairs, I continued experiencing overheating alerts. • engine performance problems: the vehicle experienced a loss of power, with a reported inability to maintain speeds above approximately 60 mph during one incident. • check-engine warning: a prior repair-order history documented a blinking malfunction indicator light during a driving incident. • diagnostic trouble codes: codes p2601 and p272d were subsequently reported. • potential head-gasket concerns: the possibility of a head-gasket problem has been raised during the ongoing dispute. Honda has referenced a multi-model cylinder-head-gasket warranty extension, but I have not received approval for coverage on my vehicle. • warranty denial: Honda corporate has declined to approve the requested warranty coverage. Despite the repeated problems, diagnostic visits, and repair attempts, I am still dealing with the consequences of purchasing a vehicle that has not provided the reliable transportation I paid for. I have spent time and money trying to get answers, and I have been left facing the financial burden of a vehicle that I cannot confidently depend on. I am sharing this timeline because consumers deserve trans.

I took my car for a safety inspection because it was salvage I fixed the car but won't pass inspection due to a recall that does not apply to my car. I took my car to Honda dealer for two recalls the air bag that they fixed and the nose mask they said does not apply to my car. I told them I need it taken off to pass inspection they referred me to America Honda they told me they can't do anything. I also contacted bar they said they can't do anything.

Vehicle brought to ocean Honda, weymouth MA with complaint that hvac system underperforming. Customer asked to replace condensor under warrany but Honda required full diagnostic ($135). Honda disclosed that 2/3 hvac system had leaks, and known issues. Honda has a known issue with faulty and leaking ac condensers, heat exchange pipes, and evaporators. They reported this vehicle had leaking condensor and heat exchange pipe. Honda stated they can replace the the condenser under warranty, but not the heat exchange pipe or evaporators - even though they admit both are faulty and often require repair, replacement, and costly ac system recharge. The costly repairs (upwards of $1,800-$2,000+) are passed onto the customer. These failures are confirmed by dealer (ocean Honda - weymouth) and considered hazardous, but refusal to fix unless cost is absorbed by customer.

I just paid $250 for diagnostic fee and Honda mentioned it’s a head gaskets failure ironically enough for my model it’s a world wide problem I just spent $2k on a turbo charger job on my car last month thinking that was the problem.

Had to repleace the electrical parking brake sensor. Now all my lights on the dash board are lighted up and have to go get a diagnostic test done.

This has been on going and was intermittant but recently it is constantly occurring: while driving the radio/speakers emit and incredibly loud static/interference sound. It I so loud in fact, the speakers sound like theyre going to blow. I am unable to stop the sound, the volume button nor power button stop the sound. Turning the car off then on doesnt stop it either. The sound is so loud and distracting, it is not safe. I have many videos of the occurrences but no photos (since you cant hear the incidents via photo). Please contact me for these.

1) the infotainment system/8-inch lcd touch screen that controls the system settings is exhibiting ghost/phantom touches and is faulty since July 7th 2026. I tried to self-diagnose it but could not fix it. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection provided I get a loaner car to drive that day. 2) these random touches are constant and are very distracting and when a driver is distracted, it could lead to accidents and more catastrophically, death of one or multiple people due to a crash. I have tried hard to not get distracted but it sure isn't helping. 3) no, it has not been confirmed by a dealer as they want to charge me 200 usd to diagnose an issue for something I have hard evidence on. I have video evidence of it happening when I was driving to ensure this is not a fake report. Multiple people on the internet have reported the same failure mode so this cannot be a one-time or first occurrence. 4) no one has inspected it except me and a few friends as I do not want to pay to diagnose a safety issue on my car. 5) no warning, no messages, no symptoms. Just randomly started to happen on July 7th 2026. This freaked us out as we driving in the night around 11pm on a freeway and the sudden distraction jolted us. 6) I have added a video link, but please note that it expires in 2 days.

While my vehicle was in transit, it experienced a sudden and severe loss of engine power. Simultaneously, multiple malfunction indicator lights (mils) illuminated on the dashboard, and my vehicle abruptly engaged "limp mode. " this drastic restriction of speed and maneuverability while in active traffic created an immediate and severe safety hazard, which nearly resulted in a catastrophic collision. Following the incident, a formal complaint was initiated with Honda customer relations. My own independent research clearly indicates that premature head gasket failure is a well-documented, systemic defect within these specific vehicle models; therefore, a constructive resolution was anticipated. While the initial intake communication appeared promising, the subsequent follow-up was highly unprofessional. The Honda representative who returned my call was dismissive of the safety risks involved, lacked basic professional courtesy, and explicitly stated that the manufacturer would offer no financial assistance or mechanical remediation for this known defect due to a lack of service records. The failure of this component represents both a significant mechanical defect and a severe threat to driver and public safety. This report is being filed to formally document the hazardous nature of this failure in transit, as well as the manufacturer's refusal to address or take accountability for an ongoing, documented issue.

On July 4th 2026, I was leaving from a restaurant that evening and within 5-10 seconds of me turning my car on, all of the lights on my dashboard turned on. I was slightly confused because there were multiple at once and my car was rumbling a bit from under the engine hood. Within a few weeks prior, I’ve been having with my digital car screen switching back and forth between tabs (from the radio, to my carplay, to the settings). It will be intermittent but fairly consistent. I plan to take my car to an auto parts store for a code test and battery/alternator test to see if there’s any further issues. I just purchased a new battery for this car within the 3 years of me getting it, 2 years ago and there shouldn’t be any issues. I’m not sure how to proceed and I really don’t have it in me to spend large amounts of money and time with repairs for a supposedly heavily reliable car. My current mileage is at 120,000.

A lot of warning sides are on the dash , has been coming on every since the mileage hit 100k.

We started driving and after driving the tire pressure light went on. We stopped checked all tires pressure everything was fine. Then about 2 or 3 hours later every light on my dash board lit up. Check engine light: brake system light: traction control light: lane keeping assist (lkas) light: adaptive cruise control light: power steering light. There was no weird sounds and no smoke or smell. Got off at the first exit I could and stopped at a gas station to check my fluids engine and battery just make sure nothing was wrong. Had to get a hotel room next morning when it was time to leave the lights were still on and I drove to auto zone up the street and had them see what codes were coming up. They told me it was the turbo and water gate. I then go my car towed.

The entire monitor is experiencing "ghost touch" issues. While driving, the monitor rapidly changes screens beeping each time. It will throw you out of bluetooth into a random radio station. It switches from screen to screen beeping each time. It is extremely distracting while driving. In my opinion, the distraction is hazardous. It has been to dealer, I have also filed a case with Honda case # 16523872). Dealer had it for 3 days, did nothing, said there are no parts available to fix it. They said sometimes this means Honda is working on a recall but they have no way of knowing for sure. Honda has not issued a recall. Honda case manager confirms they are "still working on it". This all started 6 weeks ago and car monitor continues to experience the "ghost touch" issue.

Was driving onto the interstate when car hissing sounded ,then car cut out and all my dashboard warning lights were on a loop the code is turbo boost but car died and no safety features would work I just barely missed being completely crushed by 18 wheeler.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the vehicle's head gasket has been identified as needing replacement. The Honda dealership inspected the vehicle on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, and confirmed that a new head gasket is needed. The vehicle and the failed component should be available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the ongoing malfunction caused numerous warning lights and messages to appear on the dashboard over approximately the past two months. Because the vehicle was displaying multiple warnings and experiencing an apparent engine-related issue, I was concerned about the vehicle's reliability and safety while driving. An engine malfunction could potentially cause the vehicle to lose power or become inoperable unexpectedly, which could put me and others on the road at risk. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. The problem was inspected and confirmed by a Honda dealership on August 12, 2026. I was informed that the vehicle needs a new head gasket. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? yes. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealership. To my knowledge, it has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? yes. For approximately two months prior to taking the vehicle to the dealership, multiple warning lights and messages began appearing on the dashboard. The warnings continued to appear and became increasingly concerning, which ultimately led me to take the vehicle to the Honda dealership on August 12, 2026, where I was informed that the head gasket needs to be replaced.

I am reporting a premature and dangerous failure of the engine head gasket on my 2019 Honda Accord sport (1. 5l turbo engine, 68,220 miles). While driving, the vehicle suddenly lost power due to severe engine misfires. Simultaneously, the dashboard experienced a total cascade of safety system failures, illuminating warning lights for the check engine light, electric parking brake, traction control (vsa), road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. The vehicle currently in the authorized Honda dealer where technicians officially diagnosed a blown head gasket leaking coolant into cylinder 3. This is a widespread, well-documented manufacturing defect with Honda's 1. 5l turbo engines. I request that the NHTSA launch a formal safety investigation into american Honda for these premature head gasket failures to force a mandatory safety recall.

All of the 7 warning light came up on my 2022 Accord 1. 5.

While reversing the screen froze and I could not safely back up.
