Honda Accord Change Vehicle

"Screen went blank"

"The backup camera was not working properly when I bought the used vehicle. The dealer had to replace the camera so it would certify."

"The plastic mounting tab broke off causing the camera to bounce around in the trunk lid housing."

"Back up camera turned to black within 200 miles of warranty being up. Camera was replaced by dealer for ~$385."

"The attachment used to secure the backup camera in place has broken off. The backup camera dangles unsecured"

"The forward camera for LDW & FCW failed, causing lights to come on for these issues, when none existed. The camera was replaced by the dealer, but I had to leave the car for 2 days. The dealer provided a rental car during this time"

"The compartment attached to the rear view mirror came loose and it took 45 visits to dealers and letters to the Honda Corp. and the Maryland Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division to get it repaired properly"

"The Lane Departure camera stopped working"

"system is confusing and difficult to understand for my age group. It is too complicated"

"When making a phone call, it would call another phone. My screen is currently Frozen on telephone calls I made a few months ago. I would be in the middle of a call and the call would disconnect in the whole Bluetooth system would have to be rebooted."

"The right mirror camera hangs up occasionally and resets after you turn off the engine. However the turn signals not turning off or rather changing to the other direction without turning off is a real safety concern that Honda has not been able to rectify."

"When selecting items in the upper screen it freezes on the selected item and often takes 15-30 seconds for it to wake up"

"Honda dealership had to change the display module that provides radio, gps, and other info."

"audio fuse separate from major fuse panel burned out at time dead cell in battery occurred. Entire instrument panel was blank. Honda service was unable to diagnose problem readily. Two days later problem resolved by Honda technicians consulting with Honda hdqtrs. Battery replaced. All under warranty. No further problems."

"No longer connects to USB device, e.g., iPod"

"Does not interface w/ iPhone apps (Pandora) and HondaLink apps rarely work."

"Pandora application in the vehicle would cut off occasionally and fail to reconnect"

"Honda entertainment system does not interface well with my iPhone. Intermittent syncing for Pandora, Aha radio."

"Major issues liking with iPhone 6, especially Pandora and Aha radio. Essentially, Aha is unusable. Any iPhone updates result in having to unpair the phone & pair again. Honda has not been able to fix the issue"

"When trying to use Pandora, sometimes it does not sync correctly with the Smart Phone"

"It is useless to me as it won’t recognize my voice commands. Thank goodness for my iPhone."

"very difficult to use--often in accurate direction."

"It is extremely hard to use and very time consuming to use. It is sometimes inaccurate. Instead, I use WAZE from my phone. Everyday I get angry that I totally wasted money on such horrible navigation system. Honda should have made amends!"

"Again, it does not recognize my voice most times and now I just use my cell for navigation."

"Incredibly user unfriendly, cumbersome to enter data.."

"Navigation is slow or sluggish, often responding late."

"The GPS has provided some wrong information in terms of directions, which seems to mean it is out dated. The worst part is we have been receiving notices in the mail to update our Navi for about $150. I am going to return the vehicle to the Dealer"

"Navigation system is worthless. The user interface is impossible to use to enter a destination address. Voice commands are even worse if the system does not perfectly recognize the address. I use a garmin plugin gps that works perfectly"

"almost impossible to program. Loses its integrity. A very7 poor design. everyhing about it is poor. Would never buy another HONDA., HAVE ONLY OWNED IT 3 WEEKS. I WISH I COULD RETURN IT"

"Phone will not properly import the phone book"

"It's not consistent but when receiving calls a lot of times the caller can not here me, regardless of where the volume is"

"Stopped downloading my contacts. Had to unpair and repair my phone to resolve it"

"Android phone will not pair with Hondalink."

"Back Up Camera went COMPLETELY OUT time the warranty was out. Blue tooth was NOT compatible with my phone model... However I can Receive Calls, but I have to DIAL if I need to CALL OUT because it will NOT download my Phone Directory. The Electric, Keyless STARTER is trying to go out since before the Warranty went out and I was told it would cost MORE than I had to pay for it at the time. I thoroughly researched this car before I bought it and for the Money I have in it, I am somewhat disappointed because problems started before the warranty ran out. Not sure if I would buy it again."

"Phone pairing is hit-and-miss. The manual is over 600 pages with numerous errors. Even the oil change volume with filter is wrong (much understated). And Honda doesn't seem to care, even a little."

"Not certain if the problem is the car or the phone. It pairs for phone calls but will not operate when I'm using the Maps application."

"pairing seems unreasonably difficult to accomplish. The entire info system is cumbersome and very complex to navigate"

"My spouse's phone (Android) will not sync."

"Difficult to impossible to use my iphone on the pairing w/radio speaker."

"The phone pairing is terrible in this car. It affects both the music and integration of mobile phone service. The synchronization of my phonebook has a fail rate of approx 15-20%. Problems also occur with the music sync (lag times both skipping songs and/or displaying the proper song on either display unit). To fix the issue, I have to pull over, stop and re-start the vehicle."

"The dealer did not even address the issues I had with my phone pairing with bluetooth despite multiple complaints. I am very tech savvy and have not had these issues in other cars I've owned or rented. I will never buy another Honda"

"iPhone 6 constantly disconnects & reconnects via Bluetooth"

"I occasionally lose paring with my cell phone - minor problem"

"we don't have smart phones, so the dealer helped us pair it up.It is comp[licated and hard to set up"

"This car routinely (1out of 3x's) has trouble "finding" my cell phone, telling me "no phone found" making it impossible to use the Bluetooth system while driving. This car replaced a Honda Pilot and I never experienced this trouble in that car"

"Same with the USB problem - caused all electric to fail - no battery, lights, radio, etc. I think it's related. I try not to use USB now"

"XM radio lost connectivity to satellite paid $125 for diagnostic and wanted $800 to change $40 interior antenna"

"sirius antenna stopped working. wiring issue."

"XM Radio and antenna replaced twice and still have intermittent problem with screen blinking and loss of XM Radio"

"Sirius XM radio has no signal from antenna."

"the entire system is difficult to deal with. we have practically stopped listening to the radio because it is so hard to find channels and save them. The twisty dial does not give sufficient feed back when using."

"Difficulting in changing stations, i.e. AM to FM and back again."

"Radio turns itself on or switch radio bands upon starting car. Random event that is unpredictable, occurring 2 or 3 times a week."

"The satellite radio wasn’t working, they had to install brand new antenna so the satellite radio would work. All other radio functions were working, it was just the satellite radio wasn’t interfacing with the satellite."

"Satellite Radio antenna failure"

"Satellite radio antenna failed"

"The XM radio stopped working"

"satellite radio loses reception for long periods, comes back, is intermittent, goes out completely"

"SUCKS - LOUSY QUALITY SOUND - HAS 98 SPEAKERS -- STILL SUCKS"

"It has been difficult to update my Navigation system. You have to keep the car running while you up date it. It is unsafe to leave the vehicle running in my driveway unattended. Also if you start the up date and have to quite for some reason you can no longer finish the update. A lot of money spent and no update!!"

"Honda charges $100+ for yearly updates and it is very time consuming to install. I would not recommend the purchase ."

"Paid over $200 to UPDate my GPS Software before we went on cross country trip. I had to do this MYSELF and it took OVER 12 HOURS to UPDate with someone sitting in the care with it RUNNING..... AFTER we returned from our trip... I NOTICED that NOTHING around home and familiar areas seemed UPDated although there were some road changes. Was just a WASTE to UPDate!"

"Honda has continued for years to use faulty tire pressure indicators. I am told by my dealership that they have approximately 12 service calls each day to fix or turn off these lights and check tires. I have had serious tire damage that might have been detected earlier if the indicator light was not perpetually on and because it's legally required, the service department cannot disable it."

"The music sound quality of the the tweeters is atrocious... so bad that it disturbs my spirit when I try to listen to great classical music."

"Cheap speakers cannot handle classical music... distorted sound, especially at high frequency"

"Speakers will not take any bass without vibrating. Most all my Honda's have had this problem. Poor radios and speakers"

"The controls are located in area ,where they can be activated/changed when turn the steering wheel."

"It almost NEVER identifies my requests. I’ve taken it numerous times to Honda to no avail. I would not get this again. The navigation system is so frustrating to use I always only use my iPhone now for directions."

"So hard to use. Often does not function properly. It is almost useless."

"It has almost never understood my commands and Honda was totally ineffective in fixing it."

"Voice control is basically worthless. It cannot accurately detect voice commands and corrections are a nightmare.....use your smartphone instead"

"Same explanation as weather strip"

"We have noise from air from the seals."

"First noticed wind noise. Dealer could see rubber molding on drivers door was not straight, not perfect, so they replaced it. Wind noise remained"

"Weather strip around trunk lid was installed improperly and water leaked in when I washed the car. Dealer scheduled appointment and replaced it; problem solved"

"Rear right door seal came loose within 200 miles from new"

"a/c fan squeaks, requires investigation"

"Strutting bolt, only at slow speed and rough road. Problem resolved"

"loose strut bolt"

"There is a TSB on this but the front strut mounting bolt loosens up and was making a popping noise"

"In cabin, unable to determine origin. From front end, sounds like at wheels/suspension/etc."

"There is two or three rattles from the dash where parts seen to rub against each other. Not a real problem but annoying."

"There are rattles in the doors, dashboard, seats, and roof that Honda either cannot or does not care to resolve after repeated requests."

"The car rattles. The sound is coming from below the dash and behind the glove compartment. I have attempted to pinpoint and locate the rattle without success."

"I had the Accord coupe, and the passenger’s seat would rattle when no one was sitting in it. The windows would also rattle when they were partially rolled down."

"There is rattle which travels around the left side of the car from near the dashboard and moves back to the area between the driver's and the passenger left doors. It occurs more often in the warm weather. Also, there are plastics squeaks and rattles the come and go from the dashboard area near the center of the car"

"I have leather seats and the leather rubs against the armrest driving me friggin nuts. I have to stick a hat between the seats to stop the rubbing"

"Rattles in the front passenger seat and door, driver door, and sunglass holder. While not a rattle, the windshield visor pivots are loose, allowing them to strike the occupant when used to shade the front passenger doors"

"A panel on the left side of the steering wheel about at knee level rattles. It¿s been fixed once, but the problem returned after about 3 hours of driving. I¿ve been told that the panel needs to be replaced"

"Rattle in the front dash/glove box area"

"Noises from front of vehicle when accelerating, and brake noises. Took car to dealer twice to check, and they were unable to locate any issue, however my husband hears the noise also"

"Rattle underneath the automobile. Local Honda mechanic said sometimes nuts and bolts are not tightened securely at the factory when the car is built. Once these were tightened, the noises went away and the car seemed tighter overall. We considered this a minor distraction overall, however"

"Road noise is the issue"

"The volume button when turned to increase volume from 8 or higher would actually reduce volume to 1-3 all the time. Dealer tried to tell me it was a built in safety feature of the system so the speakers don't blow if the volume is turned up too loudly too fast. However, I would turn it up slowly and the volume would still reduce!"

"Power front seats are noisy in operation"

"Noise comes from right front dash. Is persistent at times and then disappears at other times. Cannot locate exact source. Have had it since day one"

"Rattle in dash. Corrected by dealer"

"Initially was major rattle that stopped and did not return. Subsequent minor noise that sounds like static on a poorly tuned radio. Minor, but annoying. Identified the cause to be the horn vibrating against the steering column. Have not yet take"

"There is a rattling noise that is on the drivers side. I haven't figured out where it is coming from. I'm going to have the dealership look into it when I take it in for my 1st oil change"

"popping sound over rough road- loose struts"

"The thick black Frame on the outside around the driver window started to come off and the wind was loud."

"Hard to another person in car because of wind noise around doors."

"There has been too much wind noise in general and the seals around the drivers side door let in too much noise. I had to take it in for service"

"highway driving produces many wind noise"

"Loud as hell from the day I bought it. I've owned three Hondas, and my current accord is by far the loudest. I have to shout to have a conversation with passengers. At freeway speed, I just give up. I've had the dealer add insulation to the windows which helped a little, but not enough. I believe the wind noise is in part due to the overall poor assembly of my vehicle. The trim and molding is all very poorly applied. The seals around the doors are loose. Many finishes are out of alignment. Very"

"Road and wind noise is extremely loud"

"I didn't expect a well insulated car at this price but when accelerating (i.e. expessways) it sometimes bothers me"

"Minor issue since purchase. I ignore it"

"when cruising on freeway(s) at high speeds 65+ there is pronounced noise due to wind intrusion in the interior (of the automobile). It could be quitter"

"Drivers side window.Seal weather strip was replaced under warranty.Wind noise remained.Dealer drove the car, did audio recording, and noted no issue.I drove another car of same type and heard the same wind noise in it.No correction made to my car :("

"Wind noise above 50 mph, coming from the b-pillars next to the heads of the front seat occupants"

"Driver side front window has wind noise"

"At highway speed the wind noise is quite noticeable. Its tolerable, but I would hesitate to buy an Accord again"

"noisy in general over the road"

"Failed on a hot day leaving us stranded. Did not know it was the alternator initially but car was disabled because battery was dead"

"Battery turned dead after 4 years"

"Battery needed replacement."

"Safety Recall notice: Battery Management Sensor. Two visits were required - one for diagnosis if problem existed (was not urgent), one for repair. It took a few months for dealer to obtain the parts."

"There was a recall on a connection to the battery. It was fixed temporarily and then fixed permanently once the new part was available."

"battery had a bad cell"

"My wife, who is the primary user of the car has developed a bad habit of leaving her doors and trunk lid open for extended periods with the vehicle off. Consequently, her battery does not last as long as it should, but with the distributor problem found, it is difficult to determine if she would have needed a new battery if the old battery had been charging properly."

"Needed to be replaced under warranty by a Helpful service department"

"Engine had repeated cylinder misfire. The dealer could not find it after 4 visits, and I paid an independent garage to diagnose a coil failure, which fixed the problem"

"The vehicle failed to start. We called AAA and they performed a field diagnostic stating the starter had failed. The car was taken to the dealership, which replaced the battery and determined the distributor failed, not the starter. The distributor was covered under warranty, and our AAA plan reimbursed us for the battery."

"ecu throttle relay . Honda said they had trouble with them sticking"

"Ignition switch (button) does not work consistently."

"car would not start when pushing start button.. make funny noiose and nothing happens.. stranded 50 miles from home. happened 3 or 4 times before I could get into shop"

"car has been immobilized by a cylinder 4 misfire twice within the last 3000 miles. Initial cause was a bad ignition coil and very worn out spark plug. The second time the spark plug was worn again, but the ignition coil was fine. Vehicle needed a valve adjustment from dealership, but lead technician was unsure if that was the root cause or not."

"Problem was intermittent at first causing me to suspect the battery was dying due to age but car eventually began not starting at and after some research I discovered this was a common problem with this model even though the dealership denied it."

"The starter was beginning to fail. Could fail to work at time in the future. needed to be replaced, or face towing in the future"

"Starter just failed after only 56000 miles"

"Starter failed and was replaced."

"intermittent problems starting the car. Finally determined that I needed a new starter. Fixed the problem."

"Starter motor failed. Had to be replaced."

"Engine would not start at first cranking. Took several starts. Problem started after having taken to dealer for routine maintenance. Dealer said battery was weak"

"Car would occasionally not start. Dealer said starter had to be replaced. Car had 40000 miles. Cost: $1000 at dealership."

"Starter would not activate to start car. Had to have the starter replaced. Disappointed that the starter had to be replaced on a car less than 4 years old."

"Malfunction. Didn't work."

"It would not start, had to Waite and try again if you pumped the brake pedal"

"Odd issue, car would not start maybe 20% of the time, no click no nothing when key turned to start position, moving shifter to N and then back to P solved the problem, I thought was shift lock interconnect safety thing, turns out starter motor had to be replaced."

"in the last 2 1/2 yrs there have probably been 5 or 6 times when you press the stater button and nothing happened, brought it in to the Honda dealer, they said the starter was bad and replaced it under warranty."

"Starter had intermittent failure. Dealer identified issue and replaced under warranty. Problem was no problem."

"Starter failed completely at approximately 50,000 miles."

"Engine would not start. Starter motor had to be replaced"

"starter wouldn't work all the time. Requires several attempts before starter engaged."

"Starter wouldn't engage and got worse over time. PS I actually have a 2014 model and I understand this has been a common problem with them."

"Starter would not star the car everytime., random problem which got progresively worst. Should not happen in a car with less than 30000 miles"

"The starter failed to start for about 30% of the times after I got the car for a little more than three years."

"The starter started working only intermittently. Sometimes it would take several attempts to get it to work. The dealer said the starter had to be replaced. It was not under warranty, and I considered the replacement cost very excessive. (Over $700)."

"After 2 visits ti dealer it was established that engine would not start occasionally.This was due to faulty starter.Repair cost $900 Cdn and Honda would not cover under warranty which had previosuly just passed its 3 year date.This happened @44000 Kms,Contacted Honda to offer to negotiate repair cost.No response from Honda.I think Honda are cheapening their Honda Accord and probably would not purchase another Honda product.Have owned 3 Honda products.Would probably consider Toyota or other reccomended Consumers auto. addendum: Honda has offered a credit for next service for the cost of the Starter around $400 cdn.This is completely acceptable.I will pay for labor.I am completely satisfied with offer.I would consider a Honda product in future."

"solenoid not always engaging"

"Engine would not crank sometimes. The dealer indicated that the starter need to be replace at $825"
