UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While i was driving on the freeway one Sunday afternoon, the radio started making a static noise. It became very loud that i could barely hear the cars around. I tried to turn off the radio to no avail. I pulled over on the road side, turned off the vehicle and waited for a few minutes. When I started the car, the noise came back on even though the radio power was off. Since then about two months now, the same issue comes on especially when temperatures are high. Honda recommends to replace the Radio. I believe this issue should be Manufacturer's responsibility for a voluntary service campaign. It's a safety concern since you cannot control the radio once the static comes on.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
An accident occurred in my vehicle on 05/29/2026. It resulted in both air bags deploying even though the passenger side that was involved in the collision and damaged. It was considered a total loss due to the frame and passenger side as well as both air bags deployments. The driver sustained major lacerations on his forearm and was bleeding profusely from his arm during the time of the accident. The vehicle did not have comprehensive insurance therefore had to be salvaged and sold to the junk yard.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Same complaint as others with ABS Module failing. I’ve been going to Honda dealerships for the past 4 years feeling like my car just wasn’t riding right. No one ever mentioned anything about this problem. Last visit was 3 weeks ago at Walker Honda in Alexandria La. and same thing…car is perfect no problems found. 2 weeks later all these lights came on the dash same as the others and they never mentioned this problem! I’m a single grandmother raising 2 grandchildren (with no help), taking care of disabled mother and work for the state so I don’t make much money. This is my only vehicle. I love my Honda but seriously thinking of going with another brand for the fact these Honda dealerships don’t disclose this to you. Every dealership I’ve gone to has never mentioned this problem everyone seems to have with the same Honda vehicle with the same problem! Honda care…after they get the money for that vehicle they’re done unless there is more money to make off you.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When I would go to accelerate onto the the interstate and would hit around 67-69 MPH my car would go lazy and the engine light would come on. This happened about 3 times and then 4th time every single check engine light came on. I took it to the mechanic and he replaced the battery, but said there might still be a fuel issue. I then took it to the dealership and they said I had “bad gas” and wanted to replace the spark plugs, remove the fuel, and do a fuel treatment for 1200 dollars. I was confused on how this could happen and the dealership stated that it only takes one time, so how can I prevent it? They didn’t say and so if I spend the 1200 due to “bad gas” and get “bad gas” again I owe another 1200?

ENGINE
I am formally reporting a catastrophic engine failure involving the 1.5L turbocharged engine in the current-generation Honda Accord. As a professional high-mileage driver, I am exposing a severe design defect that poses immediate safety risks. While driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly exhibited severe engine shuddering, a sudden loss of acceleration, and a dashboard overheating warning. A certified Honda dealership inspection revealed a severe head gasket failure, confirming that engine coolant is actively leaking into cylinders 1 and 3, causing critical engine misfires. This is an inherent manufacturing defect, not normal wear. The engine runs under extremely high thermal pressures, and the factory head bolts fail to maintain a proper seal, allowing coolant to breach the combustion chamber. The safety implications are critical. A sudden loss of power and engine stalling at highway speeds forces drivers into high-risk emergency situations, drastically increasing the likelihood of collisions. Furthermore, the constant loss of coolant leads to sudden engine overheating, creating a severe fire hazard. This exact issue plagued the previous 10th-generation Accord, and it is now clear that Honda failed to implement a permanent engineering fix for the current generation. Representatives from Honda Corporate have explicitly acknowledged to me that a manufacturer recall for this exact engine defect is currently under internal consideration. Because high-mileage vehicles reach the structural threshold of this component much faster than the average consumer, this case represents an early warning sign of a widespread, recurring failure. NHTSA must initiate an immediate safety defect investigation into the current Honda 1.5T engine powertrain to prevent catastrophic highway accidents and protect the public.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact leased a 2024 Honda Accord. The driver's side door failed to open from the outside. The key failed to sync with the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the antenna needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. An engineer determined the fuse box was faulty, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Infotainment center has phantom touches, the screen also freezes up and goes completely black when it is connected to a phone and also when it’s not connected to a phone. When car is connected via CarPlay for directions it will not display all the time or it will completely shut off in the middle of the directions, the only way for it to unfreeze or cut back on is if the car is turned off which makes it very dangerous. This has been happening for 2 years.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
I was traveling North on Highway 55 in Huntsville, AL when I put the car in sport mode all of the error lights came on immediately. This has happened on several occasions. My passenger seat belt error always comes on. When I call about getting the recall fixed it could never be done because the dealer ships says the parts are not available.

ENGINE
I turned my car on and about 10 warning lights came on the car- drove it straight to the dealer where they told me the head gasket was leaking into cylinder 3 gave me an estimate of over 5k. Every mechanic I have called has told me how unusual it is for a car not very old and not over heating to have a blown gasket head. I was looking online and have seen how common the blown gasket head was on Honda accord models 1.5 from 2018-2022. There is nothing in the car no over heating no damage though could have cause it to leak unless it wasn’t properly installed which seeing how common it is might be the case. And how unusual it is according to many mechanics. The car has 115000 miles but has never had an issue and I wasn’t driving or anything when the warning lights came on

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
I have 2 issues and not sure if they are related 1.SRS system light came on and says see dealership. This one happened about 2 weeks ago. 2. While driving today all the lights on my dash came on including the check engine and all warning notices were going off. I was driving when this happened and it was alarming because I didn’t know if my car was going to die while I was driving. Neither problem have been confirmed by the dealership because they want 199 just to diagnose and does not include repair cost No one has inspected the vehicle No previous warning signs prior to either of these both happening

ENGINE
While driving, my Check Engine light cam on suddenly, along with my entire dashboard lighting up with all kinds of warning lights. At that moment, the engine ran very rough while attempting to push the accelerator pedal to maneuver out of traffic, feeling like there was no power. With that, I also noticed the temperature gauge start to increase towards the hot limit, though there was no venting of steam from the radiator. I stopped my car on the side, turned the car off, and waited u til it cooled down before attempting to start it again. When restart after a period of time, I noticed what smelled like coolant coming from the exhaust. I have not been able to bring the vehicle to a mechanic to diagnose the issue just yet.

STEERING
My steering is a big issue. Yes it is available for inspection if only someone would actually listen and want to truly inspect my complaint. I have a 2024 honda accord ex with just over 18000 miles. I just got the car when it had 16390 miles , just bought it last month. The following day after purchase I went to work which requires me traveling on the interstate and I noticed it right away.. It doesnt know how to drive straight even when my hands are gripping the wheel with all i have in order to go straight while going 70 miles an hour. Any little adjustment i make, seems to over correct itself and any little change in pavement or uneven lanes or a small rock in the road will completely make my car bounce left and right im like a giant pingpong. Trust me EVERYDAY i am on the road i will look around and no cars will be near cause they are all trailing behind me afraid to pass me due to the inconsistent insane destructive driving of my car not me. Little due they know by now my hands are numb and im absolutely exhausted from gripping my steering wheel to prevent suddenly driving into the car beside me. Safety hazard is putting it nice. Its a death sentence that is insane to pay out of pocket for every month to have to endure what me and sooo many others are having to go through due to the negligence of another is pitiful and unacceptable.Shame on Honda for doing this to people who trusted and believed in you. In all honesty I pray that something is done immediately about this.
