ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2008 Honda Accord. The contact discovered a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale on Facebook Marketplace. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 130,000. While cleaning the vehicle, the contact located a receipt that showed the mileage at 233,553. The seller blocked the contact’s phone calls. The Police Department was contacted, but no assistance was provided. It was later discovered that the Carfax Report indicated that the mileage was 290,000.

STRUCTURE:BODY
On this Car the AC drain hose causes unnecessary expedited rust of the subframe as it drips on the subframe where the steering rack and pinion are. this causes that part of the subframe to rust abnormally faster than normal due to the water. The hose whould have been redirected away from the subframe to prevent safety issues.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Head gasket failure was diagnosed by a certified dealer. The only symptom leading up to the failure was slight hesitation when starting the vehicle. Safety issues include sudden engine power loss, engine fire, overheating, and reduced visibility from thick white smoke, and the potential loss of steering or braking power.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I brought my 2019 Honda Accord to dealer for safety recall for something with the fuel system. Since then, I've been having car problems with acceleration, car jerking, and numerous dash lights coming on along with the check engine light. Had a few incidents where my vehicle was not functioning properly and would break down. Had my vehicle towed once since getting my vehicle back from dealer due to recall. Please advise and please help.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The air conditioning system on my 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid has failed due to a refrigerant leak. The symptoms began with a complete loss of cooling on the driver’s side while the passenger side remained cool. Eventually, the system failed to provide cool air to the entire cabin. This is a significant safety concern as the failure of the A/C system prevents the climate control from effectively dehumidifying the cabin air. During humid or rainy conditions, this leads to rapid windshield fogging that cannot be cleared by the defroster, severely impairing driver visibility. There are known service bulletins and warranty extensions for A/C components (condensers and compressor seals) on similar Honda models and years, yet my specific VIN is currently excluded despite exhibiting identical failure patterns. I am seeking a formal investigation to ensure this defect is addressed as a safety recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
All alarms are on. Breaks adaptive cruise control hill assist and all other alarms. Taken in to 2 Honda deals and serval mechanics they cannot figure out what’s wrong with it. About once a month all the alarms will clear while driving and the car sensors will start making the car drive odd. Have to fight the steering wheel to keep it straight and wheels will independently break, thinking it’s sliding but it’s not. Extremely dangerous on snowy road or wet roads.

AIR BAGS
While driving on a highway in snowy conditions, the vehicle experienced a brief loss of traction and slid across lanes. There was no confirmed collision with another vehicle, object, or obstacle. During this event, the passenger-side curtain airbag and passenger seat airbag deployed unexpectedly. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms indicating any issue with the airbag or safety systems before the incident. After the event, the vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealership. The inspection confirmed that the airbags had deployed; however, no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were found in the system, and no system malfunction was identified. The dealer suggested that “impact seems” to be present based on visual observation, but no specific collision or impact event was confirmed. I expressed concerns about the safety implications of this incident and requested further diagnostic evaluation to determine the specific cause of the airbag deployment. However, no additional diagnostic analysis was performed, and no definitive explanation was provided regarding the triggering event. The cause of the airbag deployment is UNKNOWN. The system activated without a clearly identified impact or recorded fault, raising concern about whether the airbag system may deploy under loss-of-traction conditions without a qualifying collision. This unexpected airbag deployment created a potential safety risk, as it occurred during vehicle instability and could have further impaired driver control or visibility. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

ENGINE
The car misfires very badly. I have changed the fuel injectors, fuel pump, spark plugs and the ignition coils to no avail. Also, car randomly showed to be overheating one day, got home and checked and my coolant level had dropped dramatically very quickly. The car has since been diagnosed with a bad head gasket.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I brought my vehicle to a Honda dealership for a safety recall repair (airbag/SRS related). After the repair, the SRS warning light appeared on my dashboard, indicating a potential safety issue with the airbag system. This issue was not present before the recall repair. It appeared shortly after the dealership completed the service. I contacted the dealership multiple times, but they have not responded or provided any assistance. This is a serious safety concern because the airbag system may not function properly in the event of an accident. I believe the recall repair was performed improperly, creating a new safety risk. I am requesting an investigation into this issue.

I was driving and the engine light started flashing, the car started to hesitate and would not go over 20 mph. I took it to the Honda dealership in Frisco, TX and they diagnosed the issue using Boroscope and recommended Head Gasket replacement with spark plugs due to plugs being fouled from coolant leaking into combustion chamber.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The factory audio/head unit system produces extremely loud, random static/white noise (described as explosive TV snow or screeching) that blasts through all speakers even when the stereo is completely turned off, muted, or not in use. The volume controls and power button have no effect. The only ways to stop it are to pull the audio fuse or turn the entire vehicle off. This occurs intermittently and unpredictably, often (but not always) worsening in hot weather or after the car sits in the sun. It is loud enough to cause ear pain, startle the driver, and drown out external sounds such as emergency sirens or horns, creating a significant distraction and safety hazard while driving. This is a well-documented issue on 2016–2017 Honda Accords (including Hybrids), widely reported on owner forums, YouTube, and other complaint sites. The failure is internal to the head unit (likely the amplifier circuitry or cooling fan). Honda dealers acknowledge it as a known problem but there is no recall. Temporary workaround is disabling the audio fuse, but this is not a safe long-term solution. I request that NHTSA investigate this as a potential safety defect due to the distraction and loss of audio control.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On June 13, 2025, the fuel pump was replaced due to a recall. After the fuel pump was replaced and, in particular, after reading the Honda forums for this car, all the warning lights in the instrument cluster came on. After my mechanic checked my car and, with his knowledge of this type of vehicle, he recommended replacing the fuel injectors at 86,000 miles. Honda recommends replacing the fuel injectors at 1000 k. In the forums, this is what owners of the 2018 Honda Accord are doing.

This car has a faulty motor that Honda is well aware of. The head gaskets crack, and the antifreeze leaks into the cylinder. Specifically, Cylinder 3. My car is at the dealership, and the repairs are 6500. They refuse to acknowledge this problem and currently have a class action lawsuit because of this very issue. I need a car because I am a full-time student.
