This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The malfunctioning component is the electronic door lock system of my 2019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid, specifically the driver's side door. This problem persists and is available for inspection. The failure of this system posed a safety risk as it prevents secure access and egress from the vehicle. I was unable to unlock my vehicle using the electronic key fob or the interior lock/unlock button, which could pose a problem in emergency situations where quick exit from the vehicle is required. The problem has been reproduced over a period of 6-8 weeks, with the issue becoming consistent and isolated to the driver's side door. The issue has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet, nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. My car has recently aged out of warranty and given the experiences of others online, I don't have the money to hand over to the dealer for diagnostic fees with zero resolution. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the issue's occurrence. It started sporadically, sometimes affecting different doors, but in recent weeks, it has been a consistent problem with the driver's door. This problem isn't exclusive to my vehicle. I've read online forums where others, even with different models of Honda Accords, have encountered similar issues, suggesting this could be a common issue across certain models. One person described a similar, erratic door lock behavior where the failure would switch from door to door. It was speculated that the issue could be either software-related or potentially a faulty relay that couldn't supply power to all the actuators simultaneously. Given these circumstances, I think it's crucial to investigate this matter further, as it poses both a security and safety risk for Honda Accord users.
I am experiencing a Honda door lock actuator malfunction. There was an awarded class action lawsuit regarding this recall in 2019. The first time I took it to Honda, but they were unable to replicate the intermittent malfunction and could not further assist me. I have shown them recorded videos of the issue, which can-??t be used for diagnoses however, photos and videos can be submitted for evidentiary purposes and for health care treatment. At drop off even the staff member who checked my vehicle in had to climb through the drivers seat to unlock the passenger door. I took it again a second time, and they are only able to replace one actuator since it-??s not not operable while it-??s an issue with all my doors intermittently. I have taken leave from work to ensure repair. I have to pay deductibles each time until all the doors are resolved.
Had rattling noise coming inside the driver door. Took it to local dealership. Said that the adhesive came off the safety support beam of the door. Told me that they can-??t do anything about it, and recommended me to go to an auto body shop. Went to three different shops that all had the same answers: We can-??t put adhesive on and put it back together since the piece is a safety structure of the car. They refuse to fix it has one of the shops explained, it would make them liable for any injuries involved in an accident for the beam failing to support the safety structure of the door. Another explains that this a safety defect from the manufacturer, and that the whole door must be replaced for safety regulations. So I decided to take the car back to the dealership, explaining it to the dealers. They still refused to do anything about it, saying that they won-??t don-??t anything about it, and try finding a place that will glue it back together or do it yourself.
Is Honda ever going to correct their air conditioning issues? This is the second vehicle from Honda that I-€™ve purchased brand new that has a/c issues in under a year. The first time, I just stuck it out and sweated to death in my car until my lease ended, now I can-€™t do that for the safety of my children while living in the Deep South. It-€™s incredibly dangerous for drivers to sit in a hot car- even if the windows are down.
Hi. Just looking for information on how to go about with my car. A few months ago, i was driving within my city in the residential area, and while i was driving, my car quickly, like for 3 seconds, just lost power, there was no warning lights or anything that came on, it just felt like i accidentally touched the brakes real quick while driving, but i didn't. Fast forward to Friday. I was driving home from work on the Interstate. There was a big rig gas carrier truck next to me, and all of a sudden with my foot still on the gas my car felt like it was loosing power as if i was putting my foot on the brake, it was at least for 30 seconds as if it was about to come to a complete stop in the middle of the highway, im grateful there was no car behind me, because i really probably would have died getting hit from behind and probably hitting the gas tanker.. But when it did slow down my car swerved and I almost hit the big rig gas carrier truck, but i had to swerve back over into my lane, and about time i got back into my lane the power in the car picked back up (like nothing happened) and i was able to drive home but i just drove slow because i was scared. I almost died, it was scary, and now im afraid to drive my car. I shouldn't be having this problem my car is only 3 years old. I just got this car a few years ago brand new and still paying for it, and I'm trying to see how i can go about this, is it fixable? I have not taken it in to a dealer yet, but from looking it up on line there is a lawsuit going on from hondas in my year of this happening, that the Honda dealers don't know whats going on yet either.
All 4 of the vehicle door lock actuators have failed either intermittently or permanently. This results in the doors unlocking and potentially not relocking causing the vehicle to be unsecured. The dealer claims that my vehicle is an isolated incident and that the mileage exceeds the warranty. I maintain that all 4 of the lock actuators failing is not a chance occurrence and that faulty parts were used in the manufacturing process. The failures began happening at approximately 18 months after I purchased the vehicle in new condition.
There is a humming noise that randomly Started on my brand new Honda Accord. A lot of individuals are having the same issue online and Honda refuses to consider it their problem. It has something to do with the Either noise canceling microphone not being glued on or their Bluetooth microphone. This is ridiculous that my vehicle which is brand new is starting to have issues and Honda does not take ownership of their issue when obviously it isn-€™t due to anything other than part being defective-€¦
Sudden engine power loss; merging to highway speed was not possible. Risk to safety was the loss was when needing to merge with traffic at highway speeds. The dealership could not reproduce the problem. The check engine light did come on, but no codes were generated. The check engine light extinguished before the vehicle could be taken to the dealership. Only possible symptom, prior to the event, and still existing, is a lack of power, compared to when it was new. The dealership cannot confirm the cause of this power loss. There are other indications that there is a controls/computer problem, in my opinion. Power assist is not always available, but then suddenly engages, causing the car to jerk. My conclusion is that the vehicle does not immediately recognize the steering input. The problem is most pronounced when traveling straight, on the highway and needing to make a mild lane correction to maintain the lane. The vehicle does not immediately recognize the mild steering input until the steering wheel has been turned significantly. Once the steering wheel has been turned significantly and the steering input is recognized, the power steering engages, causing a sudden jerk and a need to recover control. The dealership has not been able to reproduce this problem. I have been able to temporarily resolve it, by momentarily engaging the Lane Keep Assist. Normal, expected power assisted steering is recovered for a period of time.
Tire Sensor light keeps coming on and tires are brand new, and air same pressure. Dealership said it was because of tread depth so I got new tires but tire sensor keeps coming
I have a 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. I hear a very loud humming noise coming from the underside (both sides) of the car when I am driving between 50 and 55mph. It gets increasingly louder for a 5 - 10 second span, then goes away completely. It is more prevalent when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat and repeats when I am in that speed range, especially while going around a curve. It has not resulted in any handling issues yet, but I do not know what is being affected.
Not only does the infotainment screen sometimes black out when I am navigating, but the emergency braking sometimes kicks in on the interstate highway when there is no car in front of me or none on either side. I also get occasional coffee cup icons with a driver alert signal even when I am driving in a straight line, yet conscious of the need to steer a bit to tell the system I am alert. The alerts happen at highway speeds. This has happened quite a few times. The dealer's only response was that Honda is aware and blames the problem on using the cord that must be used to activate carplay and the navigation system!
The noise issue has these features: 1. it is intermittent. It comes out randomly on highway, and may continue for a few random seconds, then goes away. 2. it is low-frequency and doesn't change. As a comparison, it is lower than 2500rpm engine sound. 3. it is loudness-varying. Each time it comes out with little loudness, but then increases for the next few seconds to an uncomfortable level. It may stay quiet, or increase to any loudness level before it goes away. 4. it is mostly described as humming noise. However, in my opinion not quite the same as engine sound I have had this noise for the past 8 months. This noise tends to come on at around 52-54 mph, it increases in loudness and then promptly goes away. It is not always reproduceable and even though I have taken my car to the dealership they say they don't know what it is. They notate it and send me on my way saying they can't reproduce the sound. I have recorded the sound and they told me they can't help me unless they can reproduce it. I am worried that this may be something serious?
While driving the car makes a loud humming noise that regulates from low to high noise loud humming noise happens only when car in motion on any street or highway driving straight or around a curve etc. When you stop the noise stops
At 2000 RPM with the car in motion the anc unit sets up a harmonic drone that is virtually deafening and unsafe. This has happened since the car was new. Honda does not have a solution as of yet and the dealers are unable to provide satisfaction to the customer.
Front driver and passenger seats squeaks since day 1, and I bought it brand new. Secondly the driver door won't unlock from the outside so I would have to go through the passenger door to open driver door lock. It feels like the door lock on driver door is stuck and the dealership won't fix it and I'm well under warranty. When I'm driving at night there's a light that flickers underneath the steering wheel it blinks the whole time and I've looked it up and haven't found a reason why it should or should not be blinking.
In winter: For the first 25 minutes all the vents blow warm air. After driving for about 25 minutes, the rear vents at the back of the center console start blowing cold air onto the rear seat passengers. If the car sits with the engine running, the vents blow warm air; but after it starts driving, the rear vents blow cold air again. Whenever I have rear seat passengers, I have to close the rear vents. I have taken the car to the Honda dealership and received a meaningless answer that the heat works. This has happened both winters I have had the car.
Very loud roaring noise when driving about 50 mph in cold weather on a highway. This not engine noise, but seems to a glitch in the automatic noise cancelling system that causes a feedback loop resulting in an alarming roaring sound that can cause driver to panic or otherwise be distracted from driving safely.
Usually when the weather is colder say below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, a loud hum emits from the speaker system with or without music on if I am going less than 40 mph. If I crack a window or the sunroof/moonroof or a window, the sound goes away too. I also don't notice the noise in the summer/warmer months here in the northeast nor do I notice the hum when I am traveling faster than about 40 mph, such as doing 50/55 on a highway. Some folks believe it might be part of active noise cancelation to drown out the sound of the engine in the cabin. It seems I may not be alone: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T75510_ds980301
I was at a red stop light on a local street. It was a clear, sunny day. The light turned green and I started to proceed. I was in the left hand traffic lane (there are two lanes for a left hand turn at this spot). As I proceeded to make the turn, the brake mitigation system activated the brake. There was nothing in front of me. There was a car behind me and to my right. I drive a manual transmission so this action caused my car to stall. Luckily the car behind me did not hit me. I tried to restart my car quickly. I had a hard time restarting the car as the parking brake must be on to start the car as well as the clutch depressed and foot brake pressed. As this all happened so quickly and I did not expect the car to stall for no apparent reason. I do not like the mitigation system as you have to turn it off each time you start your car. For a conscientious driver you do not need this system. It is only a burden and a hazard. I called a local dealer to ask about shutting this system off permanently and the advisor told me she had a Honda that does the same thing at a certain road she drives where there is a dip in the road. Please check to see if Honda is having a problem with the mitigation system.
