Computer failed. Dashboard lights keep going on and off. Checked by a mechanic and confirmed Battery sensor failure. It-??s dangerous to drive the car when dashboard lights are on because it doesn-??t respond normally to speed paddle or brakes and engine shuts down suddenly.

My car started making a piercing static noise that is so loud and you can-??t do anything to turn it down and it is very hard to drive and concentrate with this noise. I have seen other cars recalled for this issue but they are the larger cars. My car has the same issue but they will do nothing for me.
2016 Honda Accord with about 40,000 miles. The instrument panel or display panel often locks after having iPhone connected and using AirPlay. Have to disconnect iPhone and at times even turn off car to reset the instrument panel display. This is a hassle and if using maps can be inconvenient while driving.

Air coming through vents is very low even if set a max air flow. I have a 2016 Honda Accord with 40,000 miles. For some time we noticed that air conditioner does not flow much air. It seems that ac blower is just too weak. My old 2003 Corolla has much more ac blower power. Something is wrong. I change the AC filter as needed and with frequency. Air is cold just not enough air coming through vents.
My 2016 Honda Accord sedan air conditioning stopped working. The car has about 58,000 miles.I live in southern Florida and driving without air conditioning can be very stressful and harmful to seniors. I am over 60 with many co morbidities.
My backup camera stopped working when I took my car to the dealership to get an exterior replacement part. It worked fine when I dropped it off. Now the screen is completely black when you are in reverse but you can still see the backup camera lines. The dealership is trying to charge me $140 to even look at it. Somebody posted this exact complaint in July 2020. They stated that the camera housing might be letting condensation and water inside, causing it to short out. There are two additional complaints with the same issue from March 2020, one in February 2020, and one in January 2020. This is clearly a manufacturer issue that needs to be investigated.

My car is 4.5 years old with 44,000 miles and the back up camera has started acting strange. The lighting is very dim with lines through the picture appearing like the circuitry is dialing. This is very soon for such a new car and Honda should be responsible
The rear camera started off by being fuzzy two days ago; now, the camera is black. I noted that there was a recall for 2018 sedans, but the 2016 cars need to be checked as well. This is a safety hazard. The grid lines are available but with no image of the area. The camera is clean, so it is not about dirt.
The trunk light activation switch was designed and placed where it is susceptible to damage though normal opening and closing of the trunk lid. Trunk. This allows the switch to become inoperative with the simple act of opening and closing the trunk multiple times. The car is obviously stationary. This does create a safety and visibility issue for anyone retrieving or placing items in the trunk. It also creates a safety issue when one may have to change a spare tire at night. Without an external lighting device, one must ' feel' their way to retrieve the spare tire and tools needed to change the spare tire.this issue has been described by multiple owners on social media sites and the Honda. Accord owners site. Honda will repair but it is expensive and the issue with the switch will happen again under normal use.
