ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2017 HONDA ACCORD EX-L INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM (RADIO) WHEN USING AM/FM/XM STARTS TO STATIC BADLY AND SLOWLY DRIVES TO FULL CRACKLING/STATIC INTERFERENCE NOISE THROUGH ALL SPEAKERS IN THE SYSTEM. POWER ON AND POWER OFF DO NOT CHANGE SYMPTOMS, ONLY PULL OVER AND POWER CAR ON AND OFF. CANNOT HEAR SURROUNDING VEHICLES WHEN DRIVING, EVEN WITH WINDOWS DOWN. DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE AND DRIVE SAFELY WITH THE RADIO A MAXIMUM VOLUME WITH STATIC INTERFERENCE. I CAN SUPPLY NUMEROUS VIDEOS OF ME SCREAMING OVER THE NOISE WHILE A PASSENGER TAKES VIDEO OF THIS INTERFERENCE. PLEASE PROVIDE A METHOD FOR ME TO SUPPLY VIDEO OF THIS ISSUE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW UNSAFE THIS CAN BE TO ANY DRIVER INCLUDING MYSELF. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM IS REPEATABLE AND MY 45MINUTE DAILY COMMUTE. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE THAT WOULD RESULT IN THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. FAILURE MODE - UNKNOWN.

The car behind me had to swerve over in the next lane to keep from hitting me from behind. this is the 3rd time this has happened but this last time almost caused a wreck. i AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW. The dealer kept the car for 2 days but could not reproduce this . the dash board started flashing brake. All 3 times there was no car in front or beside me.

STEERING
During normal driving, power steering would become more or less sensitive. This was especially noticeable during turns, where the steering wheel would suddenly jerk hard into the turn, sometimes requiring both hands on the wheel to counteract the excessive turn rate.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving vehicle and dashboard lit up like Christmas. Lights included FCW, ABS, Lane Departure, etc. Shut vehicle down and lights turned off upon starting the car, but quickly came back on and now they are on for good. I took it to the Gary Smith Honda in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. They ran a diagnostic check and reported code 66-11, pressure sensor circuit malfunction, VSA modulator is faulty. Dealership quoted $2,600 to fix issue. Dealer advised vehicle is not safe to drive as brakes could lock up and traction control is faulty. I looked on YouTube and found this to be a wide-spreed issue with more than 10k views on each video where mechanics were discussing the issue and providing repair tips. I’m encouraging everyone in the comments to file a complaint with NHTSA as several are already on file and it appears the Honda Pilot already has a recall for this exact issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
I thought I was just imagining that my brakes felt like they were not stopping properly, but I see a recall with other Honda's that have the same issue I have with my brakes. If I tape these brakes fast or hard they feel like they are not going to stop. They also feel like there is air in the air or something of that nature which means this 2014 Im driving has an issue with the brake as well. I keep them serviced but they feel the same way even after changing all the hardware and software.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated after driving 35 MPH and arriving at her destination, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic determined there was a failure with the rear main seal, causing fluid to slowly leak out from the rear main seal. The vehicle was then taken to a second independent mechanic who confirmed the diagnostic test result. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,500.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
The ABS Module has failed. I am receiving warning lights on my dash which caused me to pull off the road. After online research, I discovered this is a common problem with this make/model. So much so, that there is a national backorder for this part. My mechanic says that I can drive the car and the ABS system will not work in the event that I might need it. Online forums tell me that the system might activate and cause the brakes to lock up. This seems very unsafe to me and a widespread problem that Honda should address.

ENGINE
The vehicle has a feature that when transmission is in Park, and certain parameters are met the vehicle engine turns off after 20 minutes. There are no warnings offered. I nearly died when taking a nap in my car on a hot day in my car with a/c running. Then, without warning the vehicle just turned off while I was sleeping. I was woken by a passerby who noticed my overheating body. This is obviously especially dangerous for children. I reached out to Honda and they confirmed this "feature". However, they offered No solution. There should at least be an override on this system for when the weather is severe.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I was pulling out into the road when my car stalled out of no where. Multiple errors/lights started flashing. It scrolled through many warnings saying many things weren’t working and to call the dealer. Car would not start or move. Had it towed to the dealer. They are saying it was the fuel pump and is no longer under warranty. They say they do not know when they can get one as it’s on back order. They will not call me back and my car is at the dealer and cannot be driven.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The malfunctioning component is the electronic door lock system of my 2019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid, specifically the driver's side door. This problem persists and is available for inspection. The failure of this system posed a safety risk as it prevents secure access and egress from the vehicle. I was unable to unlock my vehicle using the electronic key fob or the interior lock/unlock button, which could pose a problem in emergency situations where quick exit from the vehicle is required. The problem has been reproduced over a period of 6-8 weeks, with the issue becoming consistent and isolated to the driver's side door. The issue has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet, nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. My car has recently aged out of warranty and given the experiences of others online, I don't have the money to hand over to the dealer for diagnostic fees with zero resolution. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the issue's occurrence. It started sporadically, sometimes affecting different doors, but in recent weeks, it has been a consistent problem with the driver's door. This problem isn't exclusive to my vehicle. I've read online forums where others, even with different models of Honda Accords, have encountered similar issues, suggesting this could be a common issue across certain models. One person described a similar, erratic door lock behavior where the failure would switch from door to door. It was speculated that the issue could be either software-related or potentially a faulty relay that couldn't supply power to all the actuators simultaneously. Given these circumstances, I think it's crucial to investigate this matter further, as it poses both a security and safety risk for Honda Accord users.
