Warnings Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

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.

My 2016 Honda Accord touring has an intermittent failure of multiple Honda sensing safety systems. The vehicle displays warnings for collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist system. When this occurs, these driver-assistance and collision-avoidance features become unavailable. This is a recurring problem. In August 2023, an authorized Honda dealer diagnosed substantially similar symptoms. The technician documented dtc p2583-87, described on the repair order as “lost comm with the wave radar. ” the dealer removed the bumper, tested wiring between the radar and camera, checked radar power and ground, and diagnosed a faulty millimeter-wave radar unit. The Honda dealer replaced the radar assembly with part 36802-t2a-a05 and performed radar aiming/calibration. The repair order states that normal operation was restored. I paid $1,422. 08 for the repair and related charges. The problem has now returned and is intermittent. At times all systems work normally; at other times the multiple Honda sensing warnings appear together and the safety systems become unavailable. I am concerned that a previously replaced and calibrated Honda millimeter-wave radar/safety system has experienced a recurring failure. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue and similar complaints to determine whether a safety-related defect exists.

I own a 2019 Honda Accord sport 1. 5t. While operating my vehicle, multiple safety-system warnings appeared on the dashboard at the same time. The vehicle displayed “brake hold system problem,” “adaptive cruise control system problem,” “collision mitigation braking system problem,” and “road departure mitigation system problem,” each instructing me to see my dealer. These warnings concerned me because they involved the braking system and several Honda sensing safety systems simultaneously. I parked the vehicle and turned the engine off. When I restarted the vehicle, all of the warnings had disappeared and the dashboard appeared normal again, even though no repair had been performed. The vehicle has approximately 72,980 miles. I have photographs documenting the warnings while they were displayed. I am reporting this to NHTSA because the problem was intermittent and affected multiple braking and driver-assistance systems at the same time. I am concerned that the systems could malfunction again while driving, including the braking/collision-mitigation system. I would like this incident documented as a potential safety defect involving the 2019 Honda Accord.

The dashboard lights up”brake” and the car slams on the brakes unexpectedly on occasion- and sometimes for no known reason. This has happened countless times. Yesterday it happened again while driving on the intersection at 70 mph . There were no vehicles in front of me and I was not changing lanes, but the car slammed on the brakes, making the car behind me almost rear-ended me & cars having to swerve around my vehicle. This is very unsafe and it needs to be addressed and corrected by Honda.

Car suddenly tries to stop on clear road going freeway speed of 70mph. I'm travelling on the hov lane with few vehicles on the lane to my right. There are no vehicles in front of me.

I own a 2023 Honda Accord touring hybrid. At approximately 42,000 miles, all of the warning lights illuminated while driving. The warnings included adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, parking collision warning, and multiple other system alerts. At the same time, I experienced a loss of electric power steering assist, increased steering resistance, and clicking/popping noises coming from the steering rack. The Honda dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a failed electric power steering (eps) steering rack and quoted nearly $5,000 for the repair. A critical steering component should not fail at such low mileage. This is a serious safety concern because the failure affects the driver's ability to safely control the vehicle. Similar steering components have been recalled on other Honda models, but the 2023 Honda Accord has not been included. I believe this defect should be investigated before it results in crashes or injuries.

When driving the vehicle 7/25/26 my fcw/brake light came on. I felt very insecure for safety reasons and we contacted a local mechanic who specializes in Honda and foreign vehicles. We have photos and invoices from the auto shop and we had to rent a vehicle. We are rited with 1 vehicle and my wife was going to visit her mother.

*brake mitigation system , an yes it is available for inspection. Suddenly braked hard on a clear smooth road. Going 45 mph it has not. It hasn't. No warning until a big brake lit up on my speedometer.

I was driving an interstate freeway with my cruise on set to 75mph while passing a truck, both the truck and I were in are respective lanes and neither of us was straddling the lane divider. Suddenly the orange brake light came on the dash and the car braked hard without any input from me. The braking was so hard it pushed me forward twice and caused my seat belt to lockup.

Abs module went out and this has been a problem with numerous Hondas. Specifically the 2014 Honda Accord exl and exl coupe model. I was quoted $3k+ for repairs and I don’t have that kind of money.

The steering wheel became hard to turn randomly and the power steering problem warning came on but then went away. At one point the driver assist turned off and the lights were orange but then it went away too. It keeps happening when I'm parking. The steering wheel gets stiff and the warning comes on and goes away. There were no lights or warnings prior, just started happening randomly. This is recent and I have not yet got it inspected but it is available for inspection.

The ldw, fcw, power steering, traction control, abs, steering keep faulting out. I am being told the issue is with the abs module. All the safety systems shut off with a warning message. These are major safety systems to have shut down by a single module.

The acoustic vehicle alert system (avas) stopped emitting sound for no apparent reason. On June 2nd, I took it to Honda service center, they said the speaker behind the front bumper needed to be replaced. I paid $699. 56, only to discover that the avas still didn't work. I took it back, they said the accoustic unit needed to be replaced. I paid $707. 57. On June 18th, they called me to pick up the car; I asked if the sound was working, they said the sound was there but it wasn't as audible as in other comparable cars. When I drove the car, I found a parking lot and drove below to 25 miles, even when the car was put in ev mode, I personally could not hear any noticeable sound even with the window open. I had contacted american Honda, and reported the issue, especially that the service centers didn't seem to know how to fix the issue. I requested from american Honda that they dispatch an egineer or provide the Honda service centers with directiond how to fix. Nothing happened. I'm not convinced that the avas was fixed. The design is faulty and many cars risk to be grounded because of that. The worse part was that the Honda service centers are not able to fix the issue. I just wasted $1,407. 13 (plus the uber rides) for nothing. Also, I don't understand why they held the car from June 2 until June 18th, and when I asked about the status, no meaningful update was given. This issue is likely to occur again with thounsands of hybrid cars.

Vehicle: 2018 Honda Accord on [xxx], at approximately [xxx] pm, I was driving on [xxx] [xxx] at approximately 35 mph. The weather was clear and the road was dry. A vehicle ahead of me began turning into [xxx] n. My vehicle’s collision mitigation braking system / automatic emergency braking system activated suddenly. The system made an audible warning sound, displayed a warning icon, and applied braking even though I did not believe there was a crash-imminent situation. There were vehicles behind me at the time, so the unexpected braking created a potential rear-end collision risk. The braking event also caused back pain, and I later experienced some stomach discomfort. I am concerned this was a false activation of the automatic emergency braking / collision mitigation braking system. I am also concerned because the system reactivates after the vehicle is restarted, meaning I cannot reliably prevent another unexpected braking event from occurring. I am requesting that this be documented as a vehicle safety concern involving possible false activation of the automatic emergency braking system. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

"a manufacturer over-the-air (ota) firmware deployment has caused a root-level cryptographic security certificate mismatch between the audio unit and the central can gateway, matching Honda tech line article a29051. This network failure has forced the vehicle's vsp (vehicle sound device for pedestrians) safety module into a permanent hard offline (ng) state, operating the vehicle out of compliance with fmvss no. 141. The manufacturer (american Honda case #[your case number]) and authorized dealership (heritage Honda parkville) have been provided video proof but have actively refused to schedule the vehicle for a high-priority warranty repair or issue a safe alternative loaner vehicle, leaving a safety defect active on public roads.

Many lights on dashboard including ldw, front collision system failure, tire pressure came on. Very concerned about driving safety. Researched the issue - seems fairly common across 2012-2017 Accords.

So I am just driving and all these lights come on my dashboard about front collision warning failing and land departure failing and no traction control or power steering. It caused my car to slip in the rain since there is no abs without traction control. I skid for a bit till I regained control and pulled over. This is such a common problem in this generation of cars there are 100 of youtube videos and forums complaining about the abs module failing this is a danger to others lives. How has this not been recalled as the brakes are so crucial?.

Collision warning randomly activates when driving while no vehicles or objects are around. This has been ongoing, but this last time emergency braking activated extremely hard and would had caused a collision if there was a vehicle following as vehicle almost came to a complete stop on a 75 mph highway.

9 warnings lights turned on on my dashboard and when going slow and accelerating it brakes by it self also brakes on freeway going 70 mph and then recovers.

At first they said I needed a new battery. Thats why all the sensors were going off. I got a new battery and the sensors keep going on and off intermittently. The sensors going off are; hillside, steering assist, brake, brake system, tpms, and collision. It will clear and work for a day or 2 and then come back.

It makes false things there is no car but it brakes by self for nothing.

There is loss of power when accelerating and all the warning lights are staying on when the car starts which is disengaging all of the advanced driver assistant systems.

Steering system is stiff and all the warning lights are on in the dashboard. Vehicle pulls hard to the left and you have to hold the wheel steady to keep it from pulling to the left. Appears there is a steering rack issue. I've seen on internet that many 2015 Accords have this issue. There needs to be a recall. Honda dealership quoting $3500 to $5000 to repair. This is not right!!.

The problem I am having with my vehicle Honda Accord 2018 is with the head gasket. I was on the highway and as I was driving suddenly all the signs came on the display and gave a warning that my vehicle is overheating and it came down to 20mph while I was on the highway. This was very risky to me and the other vehicle around me.

When making a left turn, my car suddenly bucked up onto the air feeling like I ran over a big obstacle which was not the case. Car came to sudden stop and I was thrown forward over steering wheel. Thankfully no one was behind me or it would have been catastrophic. The first week I owned the car, when going through a car wash, the car started jumping up and down and wouldn't move forward. Had to back out of carwash. Dealer told me it was the collision mitigation system and to turn it off before going in. The "brake" light on dash periodically flashes when no cars are in front of me. I am truly afraid to drive this car which only has 5,800 miles on it. Dealer can't find a problem. I am turning off collision feature every time I drive, but what if I forget? I believe this is an extremely dangerous defect and should be looked into. It doesn't always happen, but when it does. . .

On October 3, 2025, at approximately 1:00-1:30 pm, I was driving southbound on the hardy toll road in the far-left lane on my way to a friend's house. Road conditions were dry, and it was a bright, sunny day. While driving, I noticed something felt unusual with my vehicle. Other vehicles began passing me, so I checked my side-view mirror to see if there was an issue with my rear wheel, but I did not observe anything. When I looked forward again, there were no vehicles directly in front of me. Suddenly, my car locked up, and the word "brake" appeared on the dashboard. My vehicle immediately began veering sharply to the right. While veering, my vehicle was struck on the passenger side (t-boned) by another vehicle. The impact caused me to collide with the guard rail, strike a freeway sign, and ultimately crash into the tree line near the water off the roadway.

After having fuel pump replaced by recall at random times dashboard will light up with all system lights, car will go into limp mode and loose power for a few seconds and then I am able to resume driving. Extremely scary as there is no warning. This has happened both on the freeway at high rates of speed and on neighborhood roadways. Safety has been compromised several times and Honda dealer is not able to reproduce the issue, retrieve any warning codes or offer any assistance. This has randomly been occurring for several months. When not having this exact issue car runs with no other issues.

Abs module failure on 2013 Honda Accord. Fcw system failure, abs failure, ldw failure along with brake light constantly on, also tire pressure sensor light on. Brakes have a softer feel when compressed. Diagnosed at independent repair shop as failure of the abs module which is a circuit board issue with improperly soldered wire connections, something Honda should cover as the module dealer cost is about $3000 plus labor. Brake sensitivity and possible failure is a major concern and the vehicle is at only 116k miles.

During highway driving the collision system starts to brake without any risk or objects in view. Happen twice within 10 minutes.

While traveling at approximately 55 mph yesterday, in daylight, with no other cars in front, back, or to the side of our car, it radically braked on its own. The collision mitigation system warning light has frequently flashed on the dashboard since we bought the car new in 2019 but never did it apply the brakes on its own. Dealerships over the years have told us "this just happens", and offered no fix for the false positive alerts. This is a dangerous situation which could result in an accident or even death of occupants if not resolved by Honda. I spoke with several dealerships since the phantom braking event and they tell me they hear this complaint often. Being an intermittent situation, it is extremely difficult to diagnose and resolve. Something needs to be done.

I was driving on a four-lane highway using adaptive cruise control, gaining on a vehicle ahead. When the cruise control picked up the vehicle, I accelerated slightly, used left turn signal and began changing lanes, the warning for collision mitigation came on and the cruise control disengaged. Continued driving home and the warning continued, and cruise control would not function. Next time used the car the warning light was off, and system functioned properly.

Hi, to whom it may concern my dashboard lights have been on for months now and I’ve taken it to the dealership I purchased my car from and it comes back that it’s the turbo that needs replacing. The pricing of that is ridiculous and I’m currently not the only one with this issue ! it’s an all around the world thing! I’m not sure about anybody else but I don’t have that type of money plus while paying other important bills ! there should be a recall against the turbo replacement as well! and just what if I was to get the turbo replacement and then the lights come back on, because I’ve seen multiple people saying the replacement didn’t help with the lights and still have gotten other things done and the lights only off for a couple days ! indeed of answers because this is ridiculous!.

The touch screen is malfunctioning. Its "ghost touching" as in the screen is pressing random buttons on the screen at random times while driving. It can change and has changed settings while driving (distance for breaking before a collision, etc). While its touching random things on the screen im unable to touch anything on the screen. As if its locking me from pressing anything.

All my lights on my dash has come on, they said it’s the abs solenoid malfunction and I’m scared to drive the car, it’s my only car and Honda is charging almost 3500 to fix I don’t have that kind of money plus that is a computer problem so Honda should take care of that, anything could happen when I’m driving on the highway. . This should be a recall I see a lot of other people dealing with the same issue. .

The car was in cruise control going 73mph on the freeway. I was passing a semi on the left hand side. When I was parallel to the semi, the car brakes hard and a big "brake" light came on the cluster. There were no cars in front of me and luckily no one behind me. If there was a car behind me there would have been a collision. It was a clear day and again the road was clear. It took me from 70 to about 40 mph until I hit the accelerator to get back to speed. The cmbs is faulty and I will take it in to a dealer ASAP.
