This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

The car hit the brakes automatically at 70MPH when passing on the left. There was absolutely nothing in front of the car that should have triggered the CMBS.
The factory audio/head unit system produces extremely loud, random static/white noise (described as explosive TV snow or screeching) that blasts through all speakers even when the stereo is completely turned off, muted, or not in use. The volume controls and power button have no effect. The only ways to stop it are to pull the audio fuse or turn the entire vehicle off. This occurs intermittently and unpredictably, often (but not always) worsening in hot weather or after the car sits in the sun. It is loud enough to cause ear pain, startle the driver, and drown out external sounds such as emergency sirens or horns, creating a significant distraction and safety hazard while driving. This is a well-documented issue on 2016–2017 Honda Accords (including Hybrids), widely reported on owner forums, YouTube, and other complaint sites. The failure is internal to the head unit (likely the amplifier circuitry or cooling fan). Honda dealers acknowledge it as a known problem but there is no recall. Temporary workaround is disabling the audio fuse, but this is not a safe long-term solution. I request that NHTSA investigate this as a potential safety defect due to the distraction and loss of audio control.
The vehicle’s audio system produces loud static noise even when the audio system is turned off. The static sound fluctuates randomly in volume and often becomes loud enough to overpower music when playing. The issue affects multiple speakers throughout the vehicle. The problem occurs intermittently and does not depend on the radio source.
I unlocked my car using the buttons on my key. I put my my purse along with my phone and my key in the car and I close the door and went to the trash to throw away an empty cup. When I got back to my car 2 minutes later the car relocked itself with my purse my phone and the keys in the car.
the radio static real loud even after the power is turned off heat can't be on either
The multifunction ADAS camera module failed due to "Internal Error" at only 9 years old. This means that critical safety systems such as automatic emergency braking/lane keep assist malfunctioned and could not assist with avoiding collisions. I took the car to the dealer and they confirmed the issue, and charged me $2000 to fix this critical safety system. I noticed that the new camera assembly has an updated part number, indicating that Honda might have been aware of this failure issue. I have also seen some forum posts online of others having this failure with their 2016-2017 Accords with Honda Sensing. Therefore I believe this should warrant a recall. When the failure first occurred upon vehicle startup a few days before I had it repaired, all these systems were disabled and there were multiple warning lamps on the gauge cluster and screen. Prior to this sudden failure, everything had been working fine as intended up until the very day it failed.
ABS control module failed. It put me at risk because my car shut down on me while driving could have resulted in a car accident.
I have a 2017 Honda Accord Sport. According to the recall, the low pressure fuel pump has a faulty impeller. My low pressure, in tank, fuel pump failed. The failed pump caused the high pressure fuel pump to fail. DTC code P00087, low fuel pressure recorded. Symptoms included loss of motive power above 2000 rpm, hard starts, and engine light. According to Service Bulletin 24-072 all 2013-2017 Accords are affected. However, check VIN for my Accord, which has the exact symptoms, was not included in the recall. I opened a Case with Honda (#16134549) for review. Honda denied that this vehicle was part of the recall and they will not assist with the repair. Come on Honda do the right thing!
The camera failed on the car rendering all the safety features inoperable. The camera cost almost $2000 making it an expensive repair.
ALL THE PANEL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. HONDA SAYS I NEED NEW INJECTORS FOR ABOUT $2000. THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 66,000 MILES. THEY ALSO SAY A NEED A NEW HEAD UNIT, FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD THREE OTHER HONDA ACCORDS BEFORE THIS, AVERAGING OVER 200,000 MILES. NEVER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.
ABS LOW VOLTAGE WARNING symbol appeared on vehicle. $3500 to repair according to dealership. This is a common issue on these vehicles and poses a safety risk. Hoping that NHTSA will investigate this problem as many owners have experienced same issue and repair cost is significant, particularly for a vehicle this age.
While driving, the vehicle intermittently emits an extremely loud, high-pitched static or screeching noise through the speakers. The sound is sudden, piercing, and startling. Most concerning, this occurs even when the audio system volume is turned completely off. Because the noise is so loud and unexpected, it causes a significant distraction while operating the vehicle. The sound is comparable to an ear-piercing static burst and can make it difficult to concentrate on the road. There is no warning before it occurs, and lowering or muting the volume does not prevent it. This issue has happened multiple times and does not appear to be connected to a specific audio source (radio, Bluetooth, etc.). Given the intensity of the noise and the fact that it cannot be controlled by adjusting the volume, I believe this poses a potential safety risk.
Head unit or premium amp failure, blasts static at full volume and can’t be turned off. continues to be an issue after turning car off, disconnecting battery, volume power off, etc.
I have a Honda Accord Sport. My vehicle does not appear on the recall website. I am having so many issues with my vehicle lately. The following lights stay on continuously on my dashboard. The tire pressure light, ABS, tired skid traction, brake and steering wheel lights are on. I have tried everything to get these issues resolved and nothing seems to be working. I am thinking now that this could possibly be an electrical issue or sensor issue. I have replaced my batter twice, my passenger side window fell, and I had the motor replaced and it is still not working. My car stalls when I am driving, sitting still and when I turn the air conditioning on. I have had so many repairs done to this vehicle. The invoices will be attached to this as well. I have basically made the care new under the hood, and nothing is working. I need help to get this issue resolved as soon as possible. This is the only vehicle I have to get to and from work daily. Can you please, find it in your heart to help me.
There wasn’t an accident. My ABS module has went out. Which has the traction control light, break light, power steering light, tire light, and ABS light all on, on my dash. After a lot of research it is a known issue in models from 2008-2017 so I feel like there should be a recall on this before something happens. I was driving down the hwy going about 50 when I seen a car pull out of a side road. I had to slam on break and my traction control didn’t work at all. I slid all over the road. Luckily I was able to stop before hitting the car, but the traction control made me go all over the road. This is a problem!
Vehicle: 2017 Honda Accord EX Mileage at incident: Approx 30,000 Date of incident: Dec 10, 2025 Description of problem: While my daughter was driving our 2017 Honda Accord EX, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) suddenly activated without warning. The car slammed on the brakes even though there was no obstacle in front of her. This caused the vehicle to skid, but fortunately there was no collision or injury. There were no diagnostic codes found when inspected by an independent auto shop. The shop advised us to temporarily disable the CMBS system. This appears to be part of the ongoing issue of phantom braking in Honda vehicles, which has been reported by many owners and is currently under NHTSA investigation. I am concerned about the safety risk, especially since my daughter drives this car regularly. Safety concern: Unexpected braking at highway or city speeds could easily cause a rear-end collision or loss of control. I request that NHTSA investigate this incident and ensure Honda provides a permanent fix or recall.
I purchased 4 new tires from Braman Honda on 2/2023. I drive the car daily but I also have a take home vehicle for work. On 12/4/25 and 12/5 my son, who is on military leave took the car from Boynton beach to Miami for an appointment. when he returned, he showed me a picture of the dash showing the low tire pressure light on. Up until now, there was no warning of any issues with the tires. I thought that there may be a nail in the tire but to my shock, the front driver side tire was missing chunks. The following week I had the car towed from my house to Braman Honda. My service advisor called to inform me that all 4 tires had tears and cracks in the sidewalls and must be replaced. Me and/or my son could have been hurt or killed while driving the car with the tires in this condition. My car is only serviced at Honda and I keep up with all tire rotations. On 2/21/25 a multi point vehicle inspection was performed and I declined the multi point inspection and tire rotation on 6/14/25 due to a time crunch. The warranty expired after 2 years so I had to finance 4 new tires. BF Goodrich will only file a claim if you replace with their tire brand. I do not trust their brand and even although they supplied the batch of dry rotted tires which was installed on my car, Honda nor BF Goodrich will help with the cost. I've read many similar cases like mine about these tires. BFGoodrich claims that the cracks are due to road hazards.
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.
Driving home on highway at 3am, car losses all power studders & stalls out with no warning.
Speakers produce full volume static, this loud static sound is unavoidable, it occurs randomly when the car is on and when the audio is on, but once it starts making static sounds, it won't stop. Source input also does not matter. Some observations I have made are that: •It is extremely cold in New Jersey and after the heater is on high for a while and when the car is warmed up it starts to make these unavoidable static sounds. •When the audio is turned off sometimes the static goes away but sometimes it stays even when the audio is turned off. •Once it starts making static sounds, even turning off the car and turning it back on with the audio off doesn't make the static sounds go away. Only when the car is off for a while and it gets cold again, it stops the static sounds. It is extremely cold in New Jersey around this time of the year, and it is impossible to drive without the heater. Once the loud static sounds start, it won't stop and it creates distractions while driving, almost causing me to get into an accident. Lots of people with the same car are having this issue and lots of reddit users are also reporting this issue and most of the people with this issue seem to have some mention of heat causing it or it occurs on hot days. Dealership is not helping either and they can't figure out the cause of the problem. They are suggesting changing the car audio (Head Unit) at customer's expense. A lot of people on reddit reporting the issue mentioned submitting a complaint to the NHTSA, I see there are already some complaints regarding the loud static sounds on here. Dealership is no help, and Honda doesn’t seem to have any Recalls for this either. Need More complaints and a Recall for this!
