BACK OVER PREVENTION: CAMERA SYSTEM
The rear backup camera does not work when the vehicle is put into reverse. The screen goes black and only shows the grid lines of the backup camera viewing area. There are no other issues with the Navigation system, radio display, or other car features and controls displayed on the navigation screen. I took the car into my local Honda Dealer, and they tested the unit and found no electrical shorts or open circuits. Their recommended fix was to replace the entire Navigation System. I researched this issue on the NHTSA web site, and there are two recalls issued for this safety issue of the backup camera screen going black and not working when put into reverse. A NHTSA recall was issued for 2018 Honda Accords and 2019 Insights indicating that faulty software may cause the backup camera to fail. A NHTSA recall was issued for 608,000 Honda SUV's for years 2018 through 2021 that covered Piolts, Passports, and Odysseys indicating that faulty software may cause the backup camera to fail. There are multiple complaints listed on the NHTSA website for 2017 Honda Accords for this backup camera issue but no formal recall has been issued by NHTSA.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I have a 2017 Honda Accord, which I purchased new from the dealer. On May 8, 2021, when pulling into my parking space with my foot on the brake, the car suddenly, violently accelerated, jumping the parking curb, crossing the sidewalk, knocking down (1) bush and crashing into another bush when the car finally stopped. I narrowly misses a large tree, the A/C unit in front of my condominium and was very close to running into the exterior wall of my unit. I was pressing the brake the entire time. I immediately put the car in reverse. The bumper needed to be repaired and I was terrified! I researched online to see if anyone else had experienced this sudden acceleration event (SAE) and found a list of 35 other drivers who had experienced the identical SAE while pulling into a parking space. The other incidents indicated that Honda could not find anything wrong with the vehicles, even though this has been a continual complaint. Failure dates were indicated from 2013 - May, 2021 for 2012-2019 Honda Accords. I notified Honda.com of the incident and was assigned a case number but have not received any other communication from them. I made a service appointment at the Honda dealer and was told that I had to wait until June 10th when a Honda engineer would be available to inspect the vehicle and see if they can identify and correct this potentially lethal automotive defect.

REAR-BACKUP CAMERA WENT BLACK AFTER I DROVE CAR TO PICK UP SON AT FRIENDS HOUSE AT NIGHT CAMERA WORKED, PARKED CAR OVERNIGHT, WENT TO USE CAR NEXT MORNING REAR CAMERA INOP, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUSE SO I CHECKED FUSE, NOT BLOWN.TOOK CAR IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS LATER STATED IT WAS P&A DUE TO FAILURE, EST. AT OVER $700 TO REPLACE. VERY UNHAPPY SINCE CAR IS ONLY 4YRS OLD AND ONLY 40K MILES. HOW DO HONDA OWNERS KNOW THAT THIS YEAR CAMERA WAS NOT AFFECTED LIKE THE RECALL ON THE 2018'S. WHAT IF SOME 2017'S HAD THE DEFECTIVE CAMERAS INSTALLED, SO I CALLED HONDA WAS TOLD NO RECALL ON CAMERA, BROUGHT UP THE 2018/ RECALL TO THE REP AND SHE STATED THIS DID NOT AFFECT MY VIN#. I WAS NOT SATISFIED AND WANTED THIS ISSUE TO BE REVIEWED SINCE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE CAMERA. I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE HONDA SHOULD RECTIFY DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE RECALLS ON OVER THOUSAND OF OTHER CAMERAS IN THEIR OTHER VEHICLES. HONDA SHOULD STAND BY THE OEM PARTS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE AND CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING REAR CAMERAS THAT STOP WORKING. THIS IS A MULTI-DOLLAR INDUSTRY BECAUSE OF THE EVERYDAY PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THAT PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AND THAT IS WHY I FEEL HONDA SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THEY DRIVERS AND OTHERS AROUND THEM AND ADD 2017 MODELS TO THEIR RECALL LIST INSTEAD OF MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY TO AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX AN ISSUE WITH HONDA PARTS. HONDA NEEDS TO STAND BY THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THEIR PARTS AND VEHICLES JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS AND MAKE IT RIGHT TO THE CONSUMER. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WHERE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHILE TURNING AND ACCELERATING, TOOK IT IN AND DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, MADE IT SEEM LIKE THEY WERE DOING ME A FAVOR TO REPLACE IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES WHEN IN FACT IT WAS A RECALL ON MY VIN#. IT HAS BEEN FIXED, DID I GET A LEMON?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
PART NUMBER39530-T2A-A31 REPAIR COST $550 HONDA DESIGNED A DEFICIENT PLASTIC CLIP TO HOLD THE REAR CAMERA IN PLACE ON THE CAR TRUNK. AFTER NORMAL USE OPENING AND CLOSING THE TRUNK THE CLIP BREAKS AND THE ENTIRE UNIT MUST BE REPLACED. AFTER 23,000 DRIVEN MILES (44 MONTHS) THE CLIP BROKE AND I SPENT $550 TO REPAIR IT. A GOOGLE SEARCH MAKES IT CLEAR THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRE HONDA TO RE-ENGINEER THE REAR CAMERA MOUNT AND OFFER A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY.
