ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving the vehicle all of the speakers started making a very loud noise and vibrating the entire car. Radio controls wouldn't stop the noise and it was very difficult to focus on driving with the sound so loud. The only way to stop the noise was to pull over and turn car off. Radio controls had no impact. This doesn't happen all the time just randomly. The noise is so loud I'm concerned it could cause a safety concern if another member of my family is driving. I have seen many reports of this being a known issue with model of my car but dealer won't do anything. The ear popping noise occurs with no warning while driving, severely distracting the driver.

The SRS system intermittently shows inactive (red SYS light on dash) after starting to drive. When I stop and turn the car off and then on again the light goes away. It has been happening for a couple months now, and Honda says my car was manufactured 2 months before the date of the SRS system recall.

this is a known issue with honda. the head gasket is blown causing all the warning lights to come up on the dash. my car has not got hot, it goes up to the H but goes right back down to normal setting. i have had my local honda dealer look at my vehicle and that is what they told me was the issue. since my car has a rebuilt title, honda won't cover the cost for the repair. i bought the car last year from an out of state small dealer with a rebuilt title. honda is being sued for this issue, because they know about it and still were making the vehicles. this is no fault of my own and honda should honor the recall and repair my car at no cost to me. as i am now unable to drive the car and i can't afford to have it repaired. i contacted honda of america and filed a claim and also a good-will request, but because of the rebuilt title, i was not eligible for help. every single honda made during these specific years 2018-2021 are having the same issues. not one car should be discriminated against because of a rebuilt title. the re-build has zero impact on the head gasket and the cylinders being too close together, and the turbo causing the head to blow. my car is right at 128,000 miles, and it’s known for the issue to start occurring around 120,000 miles. then come to also find out there’s an ongoing issue with gas leaking into the oil. they denied my request on that too. any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you for your time and consideration! -RF-

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Touch screen on console has lots of ghost-touches .The audio screen keeps switching radio on when it was in off position. It goes into settings or prompts for factory reset while driving, and without touching it. Also, Android AutoPlay navigation keeps jumping around on the map, and giving excessive warnings for next turn, without touching it. This is an EXTREME driver distraction, esp. while trying to use navigation.

The 2020 Honda accord sport 1.5l has a problem with the turbo and fuel injectors going out. I am only at 113,000 miles and should not have this problem. It had come to my attention that this is a known problem with the 2018-2021 Hondas and should have a recall. My car is whining and loosing power going up hills. Please add a recall for this problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
On August 23, 2026, the electronic power steering and braking systems on a 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid completely failed and locked up simultaneously while traveling at highway speeds. This caused an immediate and severe safety risk, resulting in a near-collision on a busy freeway with three occupants inside the vehicle. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. Prior to and during the failure, widespread dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, including the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Low Speed Braking Control. Additionally, 11 malfunction alerts were triggered via the HondaLink app. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealer from August 24 to September 11, 2026. As documented in the attached Honda dealer service report, technicians initially noted low voltage codes causing multiple system failures. However, instead of identifying and repairing the root cause of the voltage drop, the dealer merely cleared the codes, test-drove the vehicle, and closed the repair order stating they "could not duplicate concern." Furthermore, the attached text message conversation with the service advisor proves the service department explicitly admitted in writing that the software is up to date and that the failure could happen again if the vehicle encounters the same error. The vehicle has not been inspected by a manufacturer field engineer, police, or insurance representatives. American Honda Corporate refused requests to dispatch a field engineer and closed the case file. Note: Full video evidence of the dashboard warnings and loss of vehicle control during the incident exists, but cannot be attached here due to file format limitations. The manufacturer and dealer have returned this vehicle without identifying or repairing the underlying defect, leaving it highly susceptible to another catastrophic loss of steering and braking at highway speeds.

AIR BAGS
The airbag light is on likely because of a failure with the SRS module. It is available for inspection. If the light is on the airbags will not deploy. Independent service center confirmed the issue is with the module. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. The warning light is on. This issue matches Honda TSB 16-006, safety recall for SRS module. I also verified the SRS model number is 77960-TA0-A020-M4 with date code 08.07.08. This puts the module in the affected range. My VIN is [XXX] as given above. Given the identical nature of the issue it appears the original recall was incomplete and should be expanded to include missed vehicles.

I am not sure WHAT component failed. My lights on my dash will not go off. I have done everything I was told to do, ever down to a new Battery. & they will not go off. My car will not go over a certain speed. Before this, there were no problems. No warning lights & it was driving perfectly fine. PLEASE HELP. When I researched this issue, I noticed a million others having the SAME problem. There has to be a recall on these Honda’s. Let alone, just a simple answer as to WHY this is happening.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I would like to report a potential safety defect involving a Honda Accord Hybrid Sport, model year 2025/2026, which I rented in [XXX]. During a highway drive with my wife and our two children, my right foot slipped behind the plastic side panel of the center console, next to the accelerator pedal. My foot became caught in this area, restricting its normal movement and access to the accelerator pedal. This created a highly dangerous situation and could potentially result in unintended acceleration, an inability to operate the accelerator normally, or a loss of control of the vehicle. Fortunately, no collision or physical damage occurred. I am concerned that the design or positioning of the plastic side panel may create a potential safety risk for other vehicles of the same model or model generation. I am reporting this matter because I believe it should be assessed by the appropriate safety and engineering authorities. Vehicle information: * Make: Honda * Model: Accord Hybrid Sport * Model year: 2025/2026 * Approximate mileage: 1,900 miles * Vehicle type: Rental vehicle * Location of incident: [XXX] * VIN: Currently unavailable; I have requested it from the rental Company * Rental company: Alamo * Rental period: 18 days in XXX I have photographs showing the relevant area of the vehicle. The photographs were taken while the vehicle was stationary, with the engine switched off. They do not show the incident occurring while driving, but they illustrate the area where my foot became trapped. I also contacted Honda directly to report this concern. Honda’s customer service representative repeatedly requested the VIN and stated that further assistance could not proceed without it. I explained that the vehicle was a rental and that I did not currently have the VIN. The concern was not substantively reviewed during INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Honda of Nanuet declined to fix the recall issue on my 2013 honda accord sport. a recall in regards to "A corroded drive shaft could break under high torque applications" They did not notify me of the issue until after the expiration date of the time standard for the recall notice. I took the vehicle into the service center to fix the recall. They stated they would not work on the vehicle unless they were authorized to fix a different part that they claimed needed to be removed to access the drive shaft. That fixing the different part would cost approximately $1500 and that they would not address the recall issue unless i paid the estimated amount on the different part. I have since contacted Honda My Garage to get the issue resolved as i received another notice to recall the part. they have not responded to me in regards to fixing the recall. Instead I have only received a letter from honda of nanuet to buy my car. THey are avoiding fixing the recall.

COMPONENT: Visibility--Exterior Rearview Mirror, Passenger Side. While driving normally, the passenger-side exterior rearview mirror glass/holder assembly suddenly shattered and completely detached from the mirror housing. There had been no known collision or contact with another vehicle or object. The passenger window was open. The detached mirror glass/holder assembly entered through the open passenger window and landed on the passenger seat. Numerous small fragments of mirror glass were also deposited inside the passenger compartment, including on the passenger seat and dashboard. After the incident, the passenger-side mirror housing remained attached to the vehicle and remained in its normal extended operating position. The housing did not fold from the event and does not exhibit obvious significant collision damage. The detached mirror assembly and photographs have been preserved. Photographs show the exterior mirror housing,m the exposed internal adjustment mechanism, the shattered mirror assembly on the passenger seat, the shattered glass and the rear of the detached mirror holder/adjustment assembly. I am concerned that this may represent a failure of the mirror glass/holder or its attachment mechanism rather than ordinary collision damage. Because the mirror assembly and glass fragments entered the occupied passenger compartment, I believe the event presents a potential safety hazard to vehicle occupants. I am requesting that NHTSA retain this complaint for comparison with similar reports involving Honda Accord exterior mirror glass shattering or detachment.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The car's infotainment system constantly glitches out and changes channels,outputs,texts,videos while car is being driven. It's very distracting and dangerous. It will literally do it 100's of times within a short period. It's much worse than any text messaging distraction, which is against the law. Several people with this car have the same issue. Also the car will break when there's actually nothing in the road that should make it break but it will just slam on the brakes.

SERVICE BRAKES
The original ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) module in my 2014 Honda Accord failed approximately 3 years ago. The ABS warning light came on and the system stopped functioning properly. ABS modules are designed to last the life of the vehicle, but this one failed after just a few years of normal use. Due to the high cost of a new OEM module, I purchased a used Honda ABS module from a junkyard as a replacement. The replacement module is now also failing with the same symptoms (ABS warning light, loss of ABS function). This indicates a systemic defect in the module design rather than an isolated failure. When searching for another replacement, I called multiple used car parts suppliers and they informed me they are completely out of stock for 2014 Accord ABS modules and have received numerous calls about this specific part. Safety risk: ABS failure compromises braking safety, especially in emergency stops or on wet/slippery roads. Without ABS, the vehicle is at increased risk of skidding and loss of control during hard braking. Multiple owners of 2014 Honda Accord report the same ABS module failure at similar mileage/age, suggesting this is a widespread manufacturing defect affecting this model year.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
The contact's son owns a 2025 Honda Accord. The owner stated that while coming to a stop, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop. No warning light was illuminated. The owner fully lifted the foot from the brake pedal and forcefully depressed the brake pedal while attempting to stop the vehicle. The vehicle failed to stop, causing the contact's son to rear-end a semi-truck. The contact's son stated that the vehicle powered off after the crash. The contact's son also stated that the air bags did not deploy during the crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the failure could be duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by telephone, and the contact was corresponding with a case manager via email. A case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.

Side airbag not working properly ("SRS problem" intermittently showing up on dashboard): DTC checked and found B0020-13: Open or increased resistance in the left side airbag inflator. No accident on this side of the vehicle has occurred to my knowledge. A few months ago back in March my car was impacted on the right rear tire/quarter panel (repaired at caliber collision). That's the only known accident. The SRS notification first appeared 2 weeks ago and then it turned off. It appeared again yesterday 9/14/2026.

WHEELS, SEAT BELTS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
This complaint details severe manufacturing defects, hazardous third-party wheel modifications, and an explicit failure to execute critical safety recalls on my 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport (Actual Odometer: ~30,00original miles).SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY FAILURE: The passenger-side seatbelt assembly randomly unlatches and completely disconnects while the vehicle is in motion on public roads without user input, leaving passengers entirely unprotected. The dealership completely omitted and ignored this life-safety issue when presented.STRUCTURAL WHEEL COMPROMISE & LOSS OF CONTROL: Dealership-provided third-party wheels were reinstalled with a total failure to mask off or mill down critical mating surfaces. This left an uneven layer of powder coating directly between the rims, hubs, and lug seats, causing severe tolerance variances, rotational runout, chassis vibration, and severe tire cupping. Furthermore, high-temperature thermal baking has structurally degraded the cast aluminum alloy wheel centers under load.SAFETY SYSTEM BLACKOUT (THE DITCH INCIDENT): Because the un-milled wheel faces left the chassis unstable and fighting steering inputs, the vehicle failed to stabilize during a minor defensive steering maneuver to miss a deer. The car entered a ditch and impacted a signpost with the driver-side mirror. This impact has permanently illuminated central dashboard warning lights and completely blacked out the vehicle's entire advanced driver-assist safety systems (Honda Sensing), rendering it illegal and unsafe to operate.UNRESOLVED MANUFACTURER RECALLS: The dealership has neglected to process and execute two critical safety recalls active on this vehicle: Fuel Pump Recall 21-027 (which can cause engine stall while driving) and BCM Software Update 20-039. dealership's refusal to coordinate safe, independent transport to clear these critical factory safety faults while holding the car under a predatory billing dispute places the owner and public at severe risk.

My car starting shutting off on me suddenly while driving. No warning lights. Eventually had it towed to honda. Honda informed me it was the head gasket that blew with only 109,000 miles on the car at the time. My car had the 1.5 turbo engine that is now currently under investigation for this same issue. Ended up having a used motor put in it that cost me $4,000
