36 Warnings problem of the 2017 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 02/17/2025

The problem with the lkas manifests in the following ways: the system unexpectedly disengages without warning, failing to provide lane-keeping assistance. Erratic steering corrections occur even when the vehicle is properly centered in the lane, causing instability. The system frequently displays error messages indicating lkas failure, requiring manual intervention to reset or disable the feature. At times, the system does not activate as intended, even when road conditions and markings are clear and well-defined. I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by ensuring that the vehicle’s sensors and cameras are clean and unobstructed. However, the problem persists. I have also reported the issue to a Honda dealership, but they have not been able to provide a definitive resolution. This malfunction creates a serious safety concern, as an unpredictable lkas system can lead to unintentional lane drifting or sudden corrective actions that may startle the driver or lead to a loss of control. Given that lkas is a key component of Honda's driver-assistance technology, I believe this issue warrants further investigation by NHTSA to determine whether it constitutes a broader defect in the 2017 Honda Accord hybrid model. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter and determine if similar complaints have been reported. If this issue is determined to be a widespread defect, I urge NHTSA to take appropriate action, including a potential recall or mandatory software update from Honda. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I would appreciate any updates regarding your findings and any further steps I should take. Please feel free to contact me at the information provided above.

39 Warnings problem of the 2021 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 12/16/2024

I saw that they are investigating Honda pilots for an automatic braking issue. I wanted to report that on my car I’ve had the automatic brake warning come on at least 3 times while driving at highway speed with nothing in front of me. This is over a period of 3 years (my car has 40k). The brakes didnt engage, but it alerts you like it will engage for a couple seconds then the alert goes away. It could be related to the pilot issue. If the brakes did engage I would likely get rear ended on the highway. So far it hasnt happened but it is scary when it does. And totally random as each time no car within 2000ft.

42 Warnings problem of the 2023 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 10/21/2024

To whom it may concern, I am submitting this complaint to report a serious vehicle safety issue involving a Honda vehicle that was under a lease agreement. From the start of the lease, the vehicle suffered from repeated malfunctions of its safety and proximity sensors. These issues were reported, and the vehicle was taken multiple times to an authorized Honda dealership. Despite these efforts, the problem was never resolved. I later discovered that the vehicle had an active safety recall that was never disclosed to me, even though the vehicle had been serviced at the dealership on several occasions. This failure to inform me of a recall represents a significant safety concern. Subsequently, the vehicle was involved in an accident that resulted in a total loss. I firmly believe that the unresolved sensor failures and the lack of recall disclosure played a role in this incident. I am submitting this report so that NHTSA may investigate this matter and determine whether there is a broader safety issue affecting other vehicles. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, ramon duany.

51 Warnings problem of the 2020 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 07/17/2024

I was driving along the NJ turnpike at approximately 65 miles an hour when the brake warning light started flickering on and off and then the brakes engaged. It was quick, as if I had stepped hard on the pedal. No vehicle was in front of me, but I was driving through the express ez pass lane. Later that same day, it happened again, but this time it was only as if someone tapped on the brakes. The brake light flashed then too. To answer the above questions: what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the collision mitigation braking system, and yes it is how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? someone could have rear-ended me has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? the brake light warning flickered on before each instance.

55 Warnings problem of the 2020 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 06/28/2024

During a forward-side lane departure collision in my 2020 Honda Accord, the body control module (bcm), forward collision radar system, braking assist, and vehicle stability assist (vsi) all failed to activate. As a result, the vehicle did not brake, warn, or stabilize before impact. The airbags also failed to deploy during the crash. My safety and the safety of others were put at serious risk, as the vehicle did not respond as designed despite being equipped with these systems. The car is now undrivable but available for inspection. This issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer due to the car's condition, but similar failures have been reported in other 2020 Honda Accords already under recall. The insurance company did not request vehicle data and did not inspect the systems. There were no warning lamps, alerts, or messages prior to the failure; the malfunction occurred without notice. I am requesting that this vehicle be added to the existing recall list related to bcm and safety system failures.

Failure Date: 06/26/2024

I was driving about 35 mph with nothing in front of me and suddenly, the “brake” warning came on and the automatic brake engaged. There was a car behind me, but thankfully far enough behind that a rear end collision did not occur. I’m very concerned. I think the system is called cmbs (collision mitigation braking system).

63 Warnings problem of the 2015 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 04/09/2024

Upon starting the car (54,000 miles) the abs light, steering light, fcw, ldw, brake light came on. After looking in the manual it was determine that the car was dangerous to drive. I did not experience anything indicating an issue with the car before this happened. I took it to scott clark Honda right away. The dealer preformed a diagnostic test which showed the anti lock braking system solenoid value was malfunctioning, the electric power steering was experiencing a problem in the "vsa" system, the forward collision warning, and lane departure warning were showing a "vsa" brake actuator malfunction. The car was underivable without getting this repaired. Because the vsa solenoids are built inside the abs modulator they can not be replaces separately. The cost to repair this $2764 the part cannot be replace without a $150 brake fluid exchange. The initial diagnostic fee was $30. The out of pocket expense to drive the vehicle was $2944 plus tax and shop fees. There are multiple complaints regarding the same issue. Please issue a recall. I would like Honda to reimburse me for the repair costs.

I purchased this vehicle new, it has only 70,000 miles. Recently the dashboard lights lit up with a message that the forward collision warning system failed. I pulled over as soon as I could and began looking this up. First, I wanted to learn if it was safe to drive the car home or if I needed to have the car towed to a dealer. When I restarted the car thirty minutes later the warning lights were off. I got the car home and used an inexpensive obd reader to check for codes, none showed up. Later I took the car to a mechanic and his professional scanner found codes 81-19 and 81-20. There are many stories on youtube about the vsa/abs module failing.
