FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Car has 4800 miles. I've owned since new (5 months). No issues prior to this. Stopped a stoplight. The gas engine stopped running, which is typical for a hybrid when not moving. After 15 seconds, every warning/error message started cycling on the driver's dashboard screen, referencing "brake system malfunction" among many other failures. Pressing the gas pedal and there was no forward movement. Brakes still worked. Put in park. Pressed "Start" to shut down car. It didn't fully shut down (dash still lit up). Pressed Start again, still many errors but car would move. Drove immediately home. After 2 hours, pressed Start again and no errors. After 2 days of no driving, got appointment with local Honda Dealer Service. Drove it carefully and had no issues. After two additional days of evaluation, Honda says it's the ignition control module (part# 5k80030BA06). They had to keep the car longer to allow regional Honda rep to inspect and document the car's issue, as they said this issue is becoming a trend. Lastly, they told me it could take 6 months to get the part, due to a "national backorder" but offered no options/alternatives. Said car is unsafe to drive. This is unacceptable and I hope is investigated. This is a very dangerous issue. Had I been driving, it could have been far worse result. Attached is a photo of 1 of the many error messages that rotated on the dashboard.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I drove my car on 2/27/24 and my windshield was normal. The car sat idle outside for a few days. I got into my car on March 1, and there was an 8" hairline crack emanating from the edge of the windshield on the passenger side. The crack looks identical to the pictures in Honda service bulletin 20-118 dealing with stress fractures.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On 2 separate occasions while driving, I have taken an exit that has 2 left and 2 right turn lanes. While I'm in the middle left turn lane and a car is in the middle right turn lane the radar cone for the emergency braking system will trigger an imminent collision and slam on the brakes even though cars are in completely different lanes and I have nothing in front of me. Both incidents have caused near misses from cars behind me. I'm not sure I even feel safe driving this car anymore, if technology that is supposed to keep me and my passengers safe is this unpredictable to the interpretation of my environment, it will inevitably cause a collision and after viewing articles around news outlets it looks like this has already happened. It seems to be a sensitivity issue with the sensors on the front of the car or that the sonar is too wide. Either way, this needs to be fixed before drivers start getting into more serious collisions rather than small fender benders as there are a lot of crvs and accords with this issue already on the road.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The backup camera installed on 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid EXL is of poor quality at night. When backing up at night backup camera image is extremely "foggy" and pixelated making it very difficult to see compared with our other vehicles. Nearly ran over family member backing up as I could not make out their image. During daytime / light, camera image is fine.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
I was trying to back up and the car would not go. A warning on the dash came on that said collision Mitigation System problem, see your dealer. I put the car in drive and it hesitated like a brake was on. .I couldn't get above 10 miles per hour. It was like I was trying to go forward, but someone was pulling me back at the same time. I took it to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Today on 24 December 2024, I was driving my 3 month newly bought Honda ACCORD SPORT HYBRID vin [XXX] from Tulsa Oklahoma to Dallas Texas when the car broke down suddenly in the middle of highway. It reported sudden power train system and all advanced feature failures and asked me to halt immediately or safely and started reducing the speed in the middle of driving at 65 miles hour. I had to park urgently on shoulder on I 75 S and it was very risky considering high speed traffic flowing. I think it was a great safety risk INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SEAT BELTS
Driver's seat and seatbelt hurt my right hip, and strike the hip socket, because of the unusual position of the bucket seat. It's so bad, I want to get rid of this car! It's hard to walk after driving. It's extremely fatiguing.

STEERING
After about twenty minutes of driving I start having sticking steering. Around 65-70mph it starts getting difficult to keep the car in a straight line as it drifts to the left or the right. It doesn't matter if lane keep/ lane departure is on or off. When I'm able to get the car to turn it jolts to one side or the other, and then I need to constantly correct the car. As snow and slippery conditions are just about here the chances of losing control is extremely enhanced. The car is in the dealership currently without the chance of being looked at yet. As a automotive technician for the past 19 years I can confirm the complaint. No warning lights are on. The car is available to be inspected if needed.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
2023 and 2024 Hybrid Accord vehicles liberally activate brake lights while cruise control is active under even the slightest level of deceleration creating an appearance of a “brake check” when there is no brake check. A traditional car’s cruise control, for instance when set to 60MPH allows you to depress the accelerator, speed up to 65MPH to pass a vehicle, and then release the accelerator. The car then slows down naturally and begins controlling at 60MPH. The deceleration is gentle and the brakes are not applied and the brake lights do not illuminate. The accord hybrid under the same conditions will apply some level of regeneration to slow the vehicle and also activate the brake light to vehicles behind. While it’s understandable that the brake light would be illuminated if substantial regeneration is being applied, the brake light illuminates under even the slightest deceleration creating an unnecessary hazard. This can occur if the car is slowing down from only 2MPH above the set point. Brake lights illuminate although the amount of regeneration being applied is negligible. It can also happen coming over the crest of a hill on a gentle downslope even with no prior depression of the accelerator. This is a serious deficiency and incorrect behavior. The brake lights should only illuminate under substantial regeneration or application of the brake pedal.
