FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
When traveling down a road the CMBS will detect an object at times in your path of travel. Other times for example I was traveling i95 North in the middle lane, car detected a vehicle to my left and then indicated the car was attempting to cut me off thus activating breaking system, there wasn't any vehicles to my left or right. There was vehicles directly behind me and to my far right lane. Such issues have happened multiple times, I've spoken to 3 different Honda dealerships regarding this matter, I've been unsuccessful in getting this dangerous issue resolved. I'm told the technician would have to replicate the issue, well this CMBS issues happens randomly without any prior warning.

STEERING
The steering rack is clicking and clunking at low speed turns or even when the car is parked or still and you turn the wheel, any alignment that’s done to the car goes bad right away because the rack box is messed up, it has play and it vibrates the steering wheel when driving, I called the dealership and they won’t help me or fix the issue because there is no recall on the part but many other Honda owners are experiencing that same issue, the safety issue is that my steering wheel has play and it will turn at anytime, it’s been inspected and the rack is the issue, no warning lamps or messages.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On October 12, 2026, my 2024 Honda Accord Sport-L Hybrid experienced a serious and potentially dangerous loss of propulsion while driving. Without warning, multiple warning lights and system malfunction messages appeared simultaneously on the dashboard. The vehicle then switched to electric-only (EV) operation, and the gasoline engine was no longer providing propulsion. I continued operating the vehicle using the remaining hybrid battery charge. As the battery charge decreased from approximately 1–2 bars to empty, the vehicle lost its ability to propel itself and eventually came to a rolling stop. After stopping, I turned the vehicle off and restarted it. The vehicle subsequently resumed normal operation, and most of the warning lights disappeared. However, the emissions system warning remained illuminated. After researching this incident, I discovered NHTSA Safety Recall 25V785000 (Honda Recall TN2), which affects certain 2023–2025 Honda Accord Hybrid vehicles. According to the recall, a software error involving the Integrated Control Module (ICM) may cause the system to reset while driving, resulting in a loss of drive power. The symptoms described in this recall closely resemble what I experienced. However, when I contacted Honda, I was informed that this recall had already been completed on my vehicle. I am extremely concerned that my vehicle experienced a loss of propulsion despite Honda reporting that the applicable safety recall remedy had already been performed. This incident presents a significant safety risk, particularly if a similar failure occurs while traveling at highway speeds, navigating an intersection, or driving in heavy traffic. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the existing recall remedy adequately addresses this potential safety defect, whether the software update was properly implemented, and whether other Honda Accord Hybrid owners have experienced similar failures after recall completion.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. The service center diagnosed the BCM as faulty. I do not have the faulty part available as it was replaced. Service center work notes: Vehicle no start confirmed, battery voltage is at 12.4V. Vehicle has message on dash to touch key to ignition start stop button, with no success. Proceeded to inspect all main fuses to under hood fuse box, found all fuses are good main 175 amp fuse is ok, along with all four multi fuses. Proceeded to follow troubleshooting for message displayed on dash, tested key fob for unlock and lock functions, tested start stop button functions with no issues. Checked fuses that power is at each supply pin, pin 1 on connector a has 12.2v and pin 18 12.3v. Used the ground from connector pin 51 while testing voltage on previous pins to confirm ground is good. It is suspected that bcm has a internal failure and will need to be checked with known good unit, reprogrammed and retest to confirm vehicle will start. 2. The car in the faulty condition had no noticeable difference from one with a low battery so I tried to jump start the vehicle per the owners manual. This put me at a significant fire risk of over charging the battery. 3. Unknown if the manufacturer, insurance or police inspected it. 4. No warning lamps prior to failure. Dash was entirely blank other than aforementioned instruction about the key fob.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2024 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 10 MPH, an abnormal sound was heard while turning the steering wheel to make a turn. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where a diagnostic evaluation revealed that the steering rack had failed and required replacement. The contact stated that the failure was a known issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.

POWER TRAIN
Car went into a power on-power off sequence after leaving from a stop sign. After 4 or 5 of these on-off sequences it acted normally and hasn't repeated. There was minimal traffic at the time so no damage to report, but it could be really dangerous.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
The vehicle repeatedly has creaking, sticky steering/issues with steering, and clunking sounds when driving. Sound is more prominent at low speeds and when cornering. The vehicle's steering rack has already been replaced twice within 3 years. The vehicle is model year 2024, and to have an unrepaired defect like this is ridiculous. This is a major safety issue for vehicle operation, and it appears that replacement parts carry the same design defect. The problem (defective steering rack due to worm gear swelling) has already been identified and reproduced by two different Honda dealers. There are no warning lamps, messages, or codes thrown by the vehicle. The symptoms include the obvious noises and the abnormal steering feel.

STEERING
The steering gear/rack on my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid has failed twice. The original rack was replaced under warranty at 36,330 miles (January 2026). At approximately 41,000 miles I returned to the dealer reporting the same symptoms, but it was not diagnosed. At 51,849 miles (XXX) the dealer, Ocean Honda of [XXX], confirmed the replacement rack is failing: the steering assist intermittently cuts out, and the wheel sticks when changing lanes at around 70 mph. The steering also makes noise. The dealer recommends replacing the steering gearbox (part 53620-30B-D01). This happens at highway speeds, and the sudden increase in steering effort creates a risk of losing control of the vehicle. The symptoms are similar to the excessive-friction steering gearbox defect Honda recalled on the 2022–2025 Civic, CR-V and HR-V, but the Accord is not included in that recall.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
When I go to start the vehicle, it takes multiple seconds to actually start. It continues to turn over and over before finally starting up. This happens 3-4 times a day depending on how often I drive. This also creates a bad gas fume, fuel smell. This doesn't seem like something that a 2024 Honda should experience. I am a new owner to the car and have not taken it to a certified Honda dealership. It was purchased used from a non-Honda dealership. I did reach out to the local Honda dealership though, asking if this is normal for the car to act like this. I am awaiting a response.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The drivers side mirror shifts backwards when when hitting 25-30 MPH and forward again when stopping. I have asked the dealer to look at it multiple times when I take the car in for service and the complaint seems to be ignored or skipped over. Anyone that has driven the car in my family has mentioned it and that it is very distracting. We have had the car two and a half years and it has done it ever since. When at home I have moved the mirror by hand with very little effort and it moves about 3/16 of an inch from all the way to the rear to all the way forward. I have even shown this to the service advisor at the dealer.

STEERING
Roughly a month or two after purchasing my 2024 Honda accord hybrid sport, I noticed a chirping noise when driving and a slight steering problem. I took the car in, and they told me that it was the steering rack and they replaced it. About 4 months after that, I noticed that there was a slight steering issue, where I would be in a turn and the wheel would get stuck in that position slightly when turning. I ignored it for a bit, as I was busy with school. A few months went by and it got much worse, to the point where I could let go of the wheel and the car would maintain the wheel. It also pulls and can jerk the car randomly. I got an alignment thinking that would fix it, and that changed nothing. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and was notified that if it was the steering rack again, it would be past its part warranty, which is crazy because a steering rack shouldn’t need replaced in a year.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Attempted to turn car on and it did not turn on. It asked me to place my key fob on my “push to start” button. After doing this nothing happened. I went and grabbed my spare key fob and still it did nothing. Eventually got it towed in and dealer confirmed it was a bad body control module. There was no warning light or message prior to this

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The vehicle is experiencing an immediate and severe safety hazard due to a total electrical and mechanical failure within the steering column assembly. The driver horn has stopped working entirely, leaving the vehicle with no way to audibly warn pedestrians or other drivers in an emergency. Additionally, all integrated steering wheel auxiliary controls and buttons are completely non-functional, which points to a failed clock spring/cable reel or an electrical short inside the steering column. This total system failure creates an unacceptably high risk of a collision and raises severe concerns regarding whether the driver's steering wheel airbag will properly deploy in an accident. The vehicle is currently un-driveable, legally unsafe to operate under state transit laws, and induces extreme driver anxiety. The vehicle has a pre-existing history of abnormal steering wheel noise and dashboard volume knob defects that were previously reported and serviced at an authorized Honda dealership during the factory warranty period. The defect has now returned in a catastrophic state. The vehicle is currently held at Twin City Honda (Port Arthur, TX) alongside four outstanding active federal safety campaigns, including Recall 25-090 (Integrated Control Module software update for module resets while driving) and Campaign 26-080 (PGM-FI update). The local dealership is currently refusing to diagnose or repair the critical steering column and horn safety failures without forcing an out-of-pocket diagnostic fee on an ongoing factory warranty defect.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Highest windshield wiper speed isn't nearly as fast as it should be. Even in a mild/moderate rainstorm the vehicle speed has to be slowed drastically to be able to drive safely because the windshield wipers aren't effectively wiping away the rain. In a mild rainstorm, speed of the car is maybe 40mph in which the wipers can somewhat keep up. But are practically useless at highway speeds 60mph+ even during light rainstorms, visibility is majorly decreased even on the highest windshield setting.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving home from work in my 2024 Honda Accord EX 1.5T, multiple warning lights suddenly came on on the dashboard. Shortly afterward, I began smelling a strong gasoline/fuel odor inside the passenger compartment. I stopped the vehicle and got out. I could also smell gasoline outside the vehicle. I opened the hood and the gasoline odor was still noticeable from the engine compartment. Because I was concerned about the safety of the vehicle, I went to the nearest O’Reilly Auto Parts and had the vehicle scanned. The diagnostic scan showed P0172 (Fuel System Too Rich, Bank 1), P0300 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire), P0301 (Cylinder 1 Misfire), P0302 (Cylinder 2 Misfire), and P0303 (Cylinder 3 Misfire). The vehicle had approximately 82,063 miles at the time. The gasoline odor inside and outside the vehicle is especially concerning because of the potential risk of a fuel leak and fire. I checked my VIN for recalls and no open recall is currently listed for my vehicle. I am reporting this incident because I believe the fuel odor, rich fuel condition, multiple misfires, and dashboard warning lights may represent a safety-related fuel-system problem that should be investigated.

STEERING
Clicking and light ticking noise from the electric power steering (EPS) rack when turning the steering wheel, with the vehicle stationary or at low speed. No loss of steering control and no crash or injury. Repair history on this VIN for the same concern: the steering rack and pinion was replaced twice under the first owner (04/08/2024 at 5,566 miles and 05/21/2024 at 8,730 miles). The noise returned. I purchased the vehicle in November 2025. I have taken it in twice more. On Feb 2026, a Honda Field Technical Specialist verified the clicking noise from the EPS rack, found the EPS motor out of adjustment, and performed an adjustment. The noise returned within 2 months and is present now at 33,800 miles. Honda Tech Line Summary Article ATS30025 (March 20, 2026) covers this symptom on 2023 and later Accord, attributes it to insufficient clearance between the steering gearbox motor housing and the steering rack, describes the available procedure as a temporary solution that may not resolve the issue, and states that a permanent countermeasure is still being developed. American Honda has told me no permanent repair exists and would make no commitment beyond a possible future recall. The Accord was not included in recall 24V-744, which covered the steering gearbox on other Honda models. I am reporting this so the agency has data on the same component in the Accord.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
On XXX, about 8:30 a.m., in clear, sunny weather, I was turning my 2024 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid into a marked parking space. My foot was off the accelerator; I applied light brake pressure while the vehicle moved under 5 mph. Without warning, it suddenly and spontaneously accelerated at high speed. Within seconds it drove over a concrete parking stop, traveled through dense landscaping, and collided into a palm tree that prevented it moving forward. I immediately powered it off. The airbag did not deploy; no warning message preceded the acceleration. Before repair, Germain Honda scanned the vehicle; May 28 invoice the Shop Foreman and a Honda District Parts & Service Manager inspected it. The report’s Page 1 checklist all items marked green "Satisfactory" and no damage noted in vehicle diagrams. This is not reconciled with the packet's Lighting "NG" and B1036 results or estimates documenting a shattered right headlamp. The invoice attributes many codes to headlight/bumper impact but identifies neither the codes nor the basis. Native HDS data was not provided. Pre-repair records from Germain Honda (May 28), Caliber/ProTech (XXX), and Crash Champions (XXX) record DTCs/faults involving propulsion/powertrain, braking, network, steering, driver assistance, restraint, and body controls. They do not establish when findings arose or whether any caused or contributed to the event. After repair, on XXX, Honda of [XXX] reported zero DTCs. The precise cause remains unknown. I believe Speed Control, Brakes, and Fuel/Propulsion System most likely caused or contributed to the sudden spontaneous acceleration, complete loss of control, crash, and vehicle damage. If this same event occurred at a stop sign or stoplight, significant injuries and potential fatalities would have occurred to myself, or any pedestrians, animals, and vehicles in its path.
