ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I found previous complaints with the same issue so I used their words and added/deleted a bit more: 2016 Honda Accord. The instrument panel or display panel often locks after having iPhone connected and using AirPlay. Have to disconnect iPhone and at times even turn off car to reset the instrument panel display. This is a hassle and if using maps can be inconvenient while driving. Audio main head unit (Honda p/n 39171-T2F-A71) produces loud static from radio speakers. The noise becomes extremely loud. The loud static continues even if the audio system power is turned off. The noise is so loud it is disorienting. The only way to stop the noise is to pull off the road and turn off the engine. The loudness of the static puts the safety of the driver at risk. The problem is intermittent and cannot be reproduced on demand. I provided the mechanic with an audio/video tape of the problem. He told me to contact American Honda about “Goodwill” help provided by them. There are no warning lamps or messages prior to audio main malfunction. My problem first appeared in July 2023. The car is not driveable when the static occurs. Since I cannot drive the car with the loud static, i will have to rent a vehicle. I will report it to American Honda Motor Customer Care on July 18, 2023 to Advised that this problem is a SAFETY issue and is very expensive at $3,500.00.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
2019 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T and 2.0T oil dilution issues. Fuel leaks in to the oil system and anytime the oil is changed it smells like gasoline. I have to change the oil every 3k to 5k miles in order to keep my oil clean and without engine fuel dilution.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
The backup camera in my vehicle randomly but consistently stops working while the vehicle is in motion. The camera drops because the entire infotainment system crashes. The frequency of occurrence is approximately 2-3 times per month, but the problem has occurred for the past two years (around the time when Honda replaced the infotainment system due to a service bulletin). The system crashes usually within the first 1-5 minutes of driving. Sometimes it crashes when the vehicle is going forward, but a higher percentage of crashes occur in the first minute after I start the vehicle. If the vehicle is going forward and the system crashes, I lose the side camera which activates when I make a lane change to the left or a left-hand turn. I have notified Honda of this issue; i've worked with a local dealer and corresponded with Honda Corporate. Importantly, I provided Honda with photos showing the system failure. However, Honda Corporate refuses to fix the problem because, in their words, "we don't fix a problem that only happens periodically." Unacceptable! Drivers like my self depend on the backup camera. Like the airbag or seat belt, the back-up camera should be regarded as a safety device. If it fails, an OME should be required to fix the issue immediately. Yet Honda refuses to address the problem with my vehicle, and I doubt mine is the only car with this problem. Taking photos of this problem is hard because the crash is unpredictable and getting my phone out and snapping a picture is difficult and discouraged. Nevertheless, the two photos i've attached are of crashes when the vehicle is going forward. My concern, though, is loosing the backup camera when in reverse. Please help me redress this issue. Thank you!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The audio entertainment system malfunctions and randomly makes extremely loud static noises, squealing, beeping, thumping and bass sounds, from all speakers. These noises can't be controlled or stopped, as they happen even when the audio is turned off. The noises are extremely unpleasant, uncomfortable, and loud enough to cause hearing loss. The noises happen randomly and startle the driver which can lead to accidents. The only way to stop the noises is to turn off the car, requiring the driver to pull over suddenly when the noise becomes unbearable, and often must turn off the car when stopped at red lights which is very dangerous. The dealer confirmed that Honda is aware of this problem, that the only remedy is to completely replace the audio entertainment system, and that the units are on back order and unavailable. There are no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem, it just suddenly occurs. The noise began suddenly about two months ago, and has become increasingly louder and more frequent, to the point of happening every time the vehicle is operated and almost constantly while being operated.

STEERING
As we reported earlier (action number EA21001), the steering suddenly pulled 90 degrees to the left, sending the car into the opposing lane of traffic. This happened with absolutely no warning. Fortunately, no cars were approaching. The vehicle was inspected the Springfield, Pa., Honda service center. On Saturday, July 15, 2023, service representative Rasheed Gary informed us that the diagnostic report affirmed that \that the problem was "intermittent" and that for now Honda could do nothing about it. A copy of the diagnostic report was sent to us, and to Honda headquarters.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
1. The Collision Mitigation Breaking System is braking for no reason, at random times while driving 2. My safety and the safety of others is put at risk because when driving on an open road, cars behind me may not have time to break and this could result in an accident. Not to mention, there's nothing in front of my vehicle, so normal things on the road don't cause drivers to assume a car with suddenly brake 3. Yes, the issues been confirmed but I'm expected to pay for it when this has been recalled on several other models 4. This has been happening for the last several months. I put a note in my car to turn off the sensor but as of today, my vehicle will not let me turn off the sensor anymore

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES
All dash lights come on. Fcw system failure. Abs/vsa module failed is what me and a lot of other people with the same car, have the same issues. Abs brake module to replace is $1100 and on backorder and alot of people can't drive there cars, some have had issues that almost caused accidents, mine seems to run fine for now, just started happening. Honda needs to do something about this, way to many people have this problem and Honda should be way more reliable and helpful for this common failure.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
While driving one day in early April 2023 , numerous system warning lights such as braking and collision alert lights came on. I took the car to Germain Honda of Dublin. They told me that the VSA MODULE CONTROL UNIT needed to be replaced. Next they told me the part was on back order. As of today, 7/14/23 it is still on back order. Dealer tells me it is okay to drive the car. A lot can go wrong in 3 months. Today I discovered the 2013 Honda Accord has the same type of problem and is on recall for repairs to be done. Seems like the 2014 Honda Accord needs to be recalled for repairs. Part # 57110-T2G-L02

STEERING
The vehicle began pulling hard to the left without any incident to cause this. Tires were replaced but the mechanic could not get the vehicle properly aligned. Replaced struts and the wheels still would not align. The dealer was unable to find a cause for this. There are no codes or warnings.

ENGINE
Engine harness, sensor and gasket needed to be replaced. FAULTY WIRING!!! Bulletin Honda initiated indicated to replace all parts. This is a defect on this vehicle that has been in a very dry climate and has been stored in a garage since purchase. The cost to repair was over $3,100. Honda knows about this issue and has has yet to recall the Accord Sedans for repair. I would like Honda to reimburse me for the cost to replace all parts and labor. This vehicle only has 59,576 miles on it and the original harness should have lasted the lifetime of the vehicle. This is a safety issue.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I had a recall on my seatbelt and after I did the recall now my airbag resistant light is coming on and I don’t think they’re going to look at it without charging me when it never came on until they done the seatbelt so I’m not sure if I got a defective part and they need to replace it or what but I don’t think I should have to pay for it since it was just fine till they done the recall

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My daughter just bought this 2022 Honda Accord on 04/29/2023 (in her name and my name). On 6/28/2023, she was headed home, driving North, and was coming to the busy intersection of a County Road and Highway. She went to brake, but the brakes did not respond. In order to avoid hitting another vehicle, she swerved and blew through the intersection. Thank goodness she did not hit anyone in the intersection AND no one hit her. It could have been so bad. She did come to rest in a farmer's field on the Northeast corner of the intersection. According to the shop that is currently processing the claim with State Farm and investigating the repairs and damage, many error lights (about 10) are lit up on the dash as relates to the brakes, forward collision warning, and emergency braking. They indicated that they need to work with Honda to clear, verify, and repair everything related to those codes. I still need to call the police dept for a copy of their report, but they did issue her a citation for running the stop sign. In my research, I did see the NHTSA Acknowledgment of Recall Letter just signed on 06/22/2023 by Alex Ansley, indicating that a recall would be issued in regards to an issue with the brakes, that may be related to my daughter's accident. I also read further that the actual recall letters would be mailed out 07/24/2023. Sincerely, Cameron Gomez (Very concerned Dad) for Kaitlyn Gomez (Very lucky daughter)

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
When I am driving, the car turns off in the middle of the road and this warning message appears: Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem See Your Dealer. I took it to the dealer. They changed the battery, but the problem still occurs. This is dangerous because the car cut off in the middle of the road where you can get rear ended.

It happens way too often, but my automatic emergency braking will brake randomly. Several times I’ve almost been hit by a car behind or in front of me. I also notice when the sun hits the vehicle in front of me just right it will do my automatic braking even when I am not close to the vehicle.

SEAT BELTS
Upon removing the driver seat belt after a trip today, I noticed the buckle release button was sticking down. I re-inserted the buckle, and heard the "click" sound indicating the buckle was securely fastened. I applied tension on the belt buckle, which released without pressing the button! I searched the internet for recalls, and found the 2018-2019 Honda Accord was recalled for a seat belt release button repair. However, there was no information about a recall for the 2020 model year, which I experienced this issue with. My safety has been put at risk as I am unsure how long the belt buckle has been able to be removed without pressing the buckle release button. I have not yet contacted Honda about the concern. A video is available and this issue is repeatable. There were no warning messages. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
