Honda Accord Change Vehicle

"Just clunky! Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not"

"The backup camera became dislodged from its mount and the mount had to be replaced"

"Backup camera came loose and was replaced"

"backup camera became dislodged from the rear and stopped providing clear video of backing up. Even though the vehicle was still under warrenty Honda initially insisted it was not covered. They relented and fixed for free."

"Back up camera came loose, causing darker video."

"the camera stopped working it was replaced by the dealer"

"Dashboard screen is not easily visible in sunlight conditions. Angle of screen is wrong, screen is too faint"

"The display for the backup camera blacked out over a period of time. For a while it seemed to have bad signal quality, then the link seemed to cut out completely. By my eye, it would seem that an analog connector somewhere got disconnected (vibration, maybe?). Whatever the cause, the Honda technicians at the dealer said it would cost a fairly large amount to fix, and we do know how to use our rear view mirrors, so we're not interested in fixing it at this time. It was somewhat disappointing that that system would 1) fail fairly early into the life of the vehicle, 2) not be covered automatically through certified pre-ownership, and 3) not have some more intelligent form of debugging than "we're going to throw that part out and put a new one in, so you have to buy a new part", given that I watched it die gradually and it really looked exactly like the sort of problem I would expect to see if a VGA cable was slowly wiggling its way out of a connector. As I did the debugging through my wife who is somewhat less aggressive and somewhat less electrically inclined than I am, I didn't confront the dealer like this at the time."

"The backup camera, the physical camera itself, is held in place by a plastic clip. The clip broke, but Honda won't sell you just the clip. You have to buy the entire camera assembly, including the camera for $$$."

"Camera just quit working one day. Called dealership to have it looked at but did not feel like paying $129 just to look at it and then have to pay repair cost. Waiting until I have the money to fix it."

"Phone calls (bluetooth) disconnects frequently & phone calls are dropped and the display screen freezes up. The bluetooth volume is very loud and distracting. Dealer tells me nothing can be done about the high volume. Software was updated, still having frequent problems (daily)"

"Screen often changes wihout command and difficult to change back"

"Problems with Android Auto and the Honda Display screen. Not fully compatible even though Honda supports Android Auto"

"This happens quite often when starting the car. Most of the time I have to pull over, turn the vehicle off than back on again and 90% of the time it works. As for the navigation I quite often get a message that it can't access maps. At this point I just live with it."

"If radio station was changed the display did not show it"

"Have to turn off ignition and restart to fix the problem. Has happened a couple of times in the past 2 1/2 years."

"At time, the display screen does not respond or flickers (hesitates)."

"The radio unit was replace in spring 2018"

"The display went entirely blank. We took it to the dealership - they took i back, did something, and it was working when we got it back. The problem has not occurred again."

"All screen access goes dead. So no audio, Navi, phone Bluetooth, radio, backup camera"

"This problem has existed for several years and can be fixed by rebooting when you restart the car. The problem cannot be replicated by a Honda professional, so they can try to troubleshoot it only if it is taken to the dealer without turning off the engine--not always convenient, and the first time I did this nobody with the appropriate training was at work. The next time, they decided what new component was needed, and they asked me to pay $100 good-faith because the vehicle was out of warranty (component and labor cost many times that amount which they wrote off). The repair worked fine for a while, and then it decided to play the same game, and of course I had another appointment. When this happens the radio and other audio components do not function and the screen fails to display some important information. I'm waiting for the next time it happens, with hope that I won't be on my way to something important. Now I am wondering if it is somehow triggered by extremes in temperature."

"display screen goes dark and will come back after a few minutes. Windows and sunroof open on their own at times and a few times car would not start."

"Accord has 2 screens, both go blank about 5 times a month, it was the same problem with my old 2014 Accord. With both cars, the whole system would suddenly stop working requiring full stop, shut off the engine and restart, if you are on the highway, you must take the next exit to do so, very annoying"

"There are places where the current MPG and MPG for this tank are supposed to show up - on occasion (probably once every 2 months) these are blank. Just an annoyance."

"Honda dealership has had to factory reset the in-dash infotainment screen twice now- stopped working for no apparent reason. Car itself was fully functional, but did lose the backup camera when the display was not working"

"Syncing GPS on phone with Bluetooth. Can't consistently get voice directions. Adding a new phone was very difficult. I had my first phone added by a technician at the dealer and even he had difficulty. Hands free is often distracting and I can't always answer calls without picking up my phone. Not a user friendly system"

"Apple car play and the navigation system sometimes go off line. A restart of the car is required to get these back on line"

"Faulty power supply connection required a few dealer visits to fix"

"Needs a better, more comprehensive interface. To interact with Pandora and change song channels or a specific artist, I have to use the phone which takes my eyes completely off the road."

"clock would auto reset top a specific/s are time every time the car was restarted"

"1. Navigation System does not load up the maps. 2. The Navigation System frequently does not know where it is"

"Map is continually incorrect as to location. Pinpoints my location 2-3 miles from actual location. Then suddenly will revert to correct location. "Where to," is extremely difficult to use. Old system of 2012 model much simpler to use and accurate. Had to order paper manual which also is of little help"

"it's worthless. Biggest problem is that it doesn't remember where it was parked. Thus, it takes 3-10 minutes after you start the car for the satellites to figure out where you are and hence where to go"

"Kept losing satellite. Dealer replaced antenna"

"Extremely difficult to adjust voice level of the GPS"

"ry slow to come on-line i.e. warm up. The response is very slow. Not enough map size to be able to anticipate cross streets. The result is that we most frequently use our smartphones for navigation."

"The navigation system lost the signal and I was left lost"

"Honda sent map update. Failed required dealer all day to fix"

"Already did"

"It's inaccurate often. I use the GPS On my phone instead"

"1. Honda's touch system is almost impossible for the passenger to use as there is no control dial (as in a BMW iDrive). Difficult using touch screen while car is in motion, even for something as simple as the volume control on radio. 2. Honda dealer (before sale) told us the car has Garmin navigation system. New destination addresses can be entered into Garmin units at any time. Honda instead locks out entry of a new address, placing the driver and passengers in danger by requiring them to pull over to the side of the freeway and place the car in park, at which time an address can be added to the route. Makes the unit unacceptable. Honda has no interest in resolving this, but they should provide a software update and FIX IT. Also, three months after applying a map update given by Honda, Nav system gives cannot unlock maps error message every time car is driven. Pressing OK makes the message go away, and unit opens the old map. Honda provides no support for this problem. DO YOU KNOW A GOOD ATTORNEY INTERESTED IN CLASS ACTION?"

"Find it very difficult to use. Answering hands free is inconsistent and distracting to do. I especially have difficulty syncing my phone GPS with Bluetooth. Can't get the voice directions. Also just got new phone and found it very hard to add it. Originally the dealer had to do it. Other problem: Twice all the warning lights came on indicating every possible problem! Had to take it to dealer both times ( computer problem) and eventually they had to reset the system as advised by Honda headquar"

"The voice command system stopped recognizing my voice despite having the same phone. At the dealership, they deleted my phone from the car memory and we re-paired the phone with the car. So far, this has worked"

"Using voice commands to make a call only works 50% of the time. And with that, only 50% of the calls that go through go to the car speaker. The other half you have to hit TRANSFER on the screen while the person on the other end is screaming "Hello?""

"Not a very intuitive or reliable process. Very frustrating"

"Does not always pair to the Bluetooth in my Accord. Not sure of the reasons for this."

"Phone pairing is very unreliable. Solmetimes will pair after 15-20 minutes of trying."

"Phone calls automatically get answered but the system. I cannot ignore or cancel calls. I cannot see who is calling on the dashboard, I have to look at my phone and take my eyes completely off the road."

"All part of the mess that they call an Infotainment System. It's buggy software. You can't change which phone is paired easily -- it doesn't forget the last paired phone, even after turning the car off. Sometimes it will also just drop a pairing."

"have new S8 cellphone. android can't find the phone"

"It is hit or miss. Hate the whole radio/ music system."

"Very difficult to operate. Disconnects from Bluetooth often"

"The bluetooth device will no show up to connect most of the time. Sometimes in suddenly connects after up to an hour. I can answer the call and it will still be ringing in the car, while the caller can hear the ringing. It won't always hang-up or disconnect, or has a mind of it's own as to when it will disconnect. Service always says that they can't duplicate the problem, even with video's we've taken showing the problems. The problem started when purchased, however we were constantly told that it was just our cell phone (which we've since replaced and still have the same problem) because theirs worked fine. It can go a month or so of 0 connection and then work fine for a few days/weeks and then we're back where we started. The top screen doesn't always light up or show the control button changes being made below. The bluetooth will tell me that my phone bluetooth is not turned on, however it's the car device that is not engaging."

"The entire infotainment system is horrible! It frequently crashes and gives an error message in poorly written broken English. Voice commands are bad; blue tooth pairing is clunky; everything is bad."

"Apple Car Play would sometimes pair the phone, other times would not. When Apple Car Play did not work, Bluetooth did not always pair the phone either. If I don't plug in Apple Car Play, Bluetooth will not always work. Sometimes the whole system would not work. Would see Tuner is not working which meant the electronic system did not work; radio, etc."

"Radio does not work properly. It fades in and out & seems like a software issue as it seems unrelated to reception of the radio signal"

"The AM and FM stations will stop receiving a signal yet the satellite radio still works. The radio has been replaced but the problem still exists. I have to shut the car off to reboot the system to make it operational again. Otherwise the car is great"

"It would not tune the radio outside of the Atlanta area, where I purchased it. It was replaced by Honda without charge"

"The User Interface in this radio system is truly poor. Lack of rotary volume control knob is the number one issue. This slider systems is crap. Too many screens to simply switch from AM to FM is another. On other cars like the Chevy Cruze, you have soft buttons that can actually choose AM or FM stations directly. Not on this car. It takes 5 steps to switch from one bluetooth (my wifes) phone to mine. In my 2011 Accord I could do that with one voice command. Although touchscreens are defa"

"The radio would go off randomly. The only way to restart it was to turn off the car and turn back on. The car software (M83) was finally corrected and updated after owning the car for 6 months"

"The radio stops functioning at random moments. Only way to restore is to turn engine off and on to force a reboot of the system. Has been reported to Honda at every service since purchase"

"experienced failure in radio reception which was found to be caused by a break in the imbedded antenna in the rear window; an attempt to reoair the break failed so Honda replaced the rear window at no cost"

"The radio drops out ALL THE TIME. In bright light and blue skies. Infuriating"

"The software for the infotainment system is crap all around! Sporadic error message Tunner (sic) has stopped working will display, and then the entire system is unusable -- radio, bluetooth, etc. Factory reset doesn't consistently fix it. Nor does turning the car off & on again. It will just randomly fix itself. I have the current software, according to the dealer."

"Sometimes radio freezes up on XM radio, and at times, you cannot program the radio buttons."

"Intermittent failure of the radio. Resolved by firmware update by dealer."

"Radio stopped working (no signal)"

"The imbedded antennae in the rear window became defective requiring a replacement rear window."

"There was a rattle inside the radio. Honda replaced it under warranty."

"displayed a box on screen :tuner has stopped . so no radio.dealer replaced the tuner and this has only happened once since"

"The radio tuner would stop working. It took about 4 months for Honda to figure out the software solution. They replaced the radio. Apparently it is still a problem because occasionally the tuner will stop working momentarily then resume on its own."

"GPS system could not update to latest map. It took dealer and Honda multiple visits to troubleshoot."

"Transmission shudder at set speeds. I go to the dealer and they can feel it. So I am in limbo"

"It frequently does not recognize the voice command when using the phone and / or it brings up options after the voice command which is far more than needed and not close to the command"

"The voice commands are completely useless. It can NEVER figure out what I'm saying"

"System stopped recognizing voice commands altogether. Had to delete and re-pair my phone at the dealership. Even when it does recognize my voice, it never correctly recognizes the name of an entry in my Contacts. It usually comes up with multiple names - most of which don't sound anything like what I said. Thus I have to go through a separate step to pick from a list. Sometimes it thinks I'm speaking numbers and spits out some digits on the screen. So then I have to start all over. Further"

"unable to hear commands"

"Unable to place phone calls as described in manual. System is too involved."

"Problem randomly emerged. Car would not respond to any voice command while my wife's iPhone was connected. We dropped the bluetooth phone connection and re-established it to fix the problem."

"Voice control is only one issue with Honda's outdated infotainment system. it is unintuitive, slow, and generally unfriendly. this is my fourth Accord and the last three had essentially the same issue (i.e., Honda has not revised the system)."

"LED lights located next to head light system 1/2 of them do not work. This is on the frount drivers side. It wil be a $500.00 to fix."

"LED strip around right headlight went out. Replacement cost was supposed to be about $500, but the dealer replaced lights for $5."

"Da;y running light on passenger side of car stopped working. Dealer had to replace entire unit at their cost - over $700."

"day driving lights burned out on each side"

"The daytime running lamp (DRL) inside the headlight fixture unit burned out on the driver's side. The headlight itself was ok."

"The LED day-time running lights have stopped working on one side. I have looked up on the internet and I understand that Honda has extended the warranty on this to 10 years. Have not had it repaired yet."

"Problem #!. Exterior position lights burned out. Problem #2 GPS went completely blank. Had to be re-programmed. Cost $140.00."

"LED running lights on passenger side partially out. Pending decision if it is covered under extended warranty"

"DRLs failed afterabout 30 months, but Honda recalled them and replaced them for free!"

"Part of the Drivers front DRL headlight (LED) quit working properly because it overheated the end of the tube that funnels the light. This is a design flaw that Honda acknowledged and issued an extended warranty on this item. (Yes, this happened on both of our cars within a week of each other)."

"Part of the Drivers front DRL headlight (LED) quit working properly because it overheated the end of the tube that funnels the light. This is a design flaw that Honda acknowledged and issued an extended warranty on this item."

"My lef front running light failed. I had previously received a 10 year extended warranty from Honda covering this light. I had to leave my vehicle with the dealer overnight but they did provide a vehicle for me to drive."

"The driver's side running lights stopped working and if it had not been under warranty it would have cost $600.00 to replace."

"My problem was with the battery in the car. Also, the LED lights on the driver side went out."

"Front right strip lights stopped working. I was surprised to find that a bulb replacement wasn't possible, but the entire front light assembly had to be replaced. Expensive, but covered under my warranty."

"Oil life gauge drops drastically. After one Honda synthetic oil change, gauge dropped 10% in a few days and about 10% every 10 days"

"Right side DRL LED failed. Headlight module replaced. Left side DRL LED now failing. Will have replaced under warranty"

"LED daytime running light stopped working. Cost to repair would have been approximately $450., however Honda covered 80% of the cost."

"Led lights went out. This item is now a recall and a free repair through Honda."

"Led daytime running light us out in half of the headlight. You can’t replace it you have to replace the entire headlight"

"Light bar went out on the left side"

"Left front LED assembly failed at approx. 20K miles - dealer replaced at no charge to me. Right side failed at 38K miles (past warranty) and dealer would not replace at no charge and quoted $430 to replace. Seems like a known issue and if so should likely be corrected via recall."

"Passenger DRL failed after 14 months, driver side failed 4 months later. Both required removing bumper to replace headlight module and both fixed under warranty. Honda extended the warranty to 10 years."

"Right after I purchased the Honda both headlights failed to work. They were replaced under warranty."

"LED headlamp assembly failed. The dealership replaced at no cost to me (luckily) but this is the second one to have failed. Any future replacement will be my responsibility and likely to cost about $800 each."

"the LED accent piece around the headlight failed. A warranty extension was issued for my model year, and I was notified of it via mail, so it was replaced free of charge."

"LED driving lights had to be replaced due to darkening of the lenses"

"Wiring problem that was difficult to diagnose. Took a month and finally figured out it was a fuse problem."

"The LED running lights are part of the headlamp unit. The LEDs have quit working. The car is no longer under warranty, and to replace them will cost approximately $1700. The car looks kind of silly with the non-working running lights. Honda will not replace them."

"The digital DRL went out on the driver side. Apparently this is a known problem."

"Automatic high beam control is advertised for this model, however found it not functioning as advertised. Auto low beam when sensing on coming traffic not operational."

"The daytime running lights are not fully functional. The passenger side LED lights have gone out just after the warranty has expired. It will cost over $500 to repair. Per the service writer, this is a common issue."

"Driver side LED headlight stopped functioning for no apparent reason. Entire headlight assembly had to be replaced. Vehicle is only 2 years old, major inconvenience."

"LED day time running lights quit working on one side, headlight was replaced by dealer under warranty."

"I marked keyless entry issues because unbeknownst to me during a rain storm all of the windows and sunroof opened up fully and flooded the car. The dealership told me the remote key fob has the ability to open everything and that feature is not able to be turned off. I believe that when I moved my purse while inside the house the key fob in it activated the windows without my knowledge."

"Tire pressure gauge too sensitive and displays most if the year"

"Kept coming on. Even though pressure was right. Moved up all tires two pounds and issue went away"

"Engine light and tire pressure light would come up for no apparent reason. Seems all connections were loose under the hood"

"I had an initial warning of low engine oil, and on the way to the service station, the automatic emergency breaking was triggered by a wayward driver. This caused 16 warning messages and the engine entered into an odd lumpy operating mode. The service station recorded all of the warning messages from the system, added some oil, and cleared the messages. No further action was needed, but, for all of the alerts, it was difficult to to discern what was wrong."

"wipers do not clean windows properly and this is a constant issue with Honda and they know it last Honda unless this is corrected same issue with 2013 accord"

"The weather stripping around my car is like melting when you touch it it's like tar"

"Noticeable wind noise and sometimes water from window weatherstripping."

"You feel ever bump in the road. I mean it is uncomfortable. You also hear a lot of tire noise"

"Numerous rattles and door creaks and suspension noises on roads that aren't smooth. High pitched squeal from vent fan. Rattle from one speaker"

"Problem resolved"

"Dealer hasn't been able to figure it out. Makes a clicking sound with AC on. We've researched it & believe it is a cover over something in the AC that keeps flapping open & shut. If correct, this is involved in temperature control"

"Cabin fan was emitting a high pitch noise that was driving my kits nuts - too high freq for me to hear. The dealer replaced the fan under warranty at 35,000 mi. Took two drips to the dealer, with the car in the shop for a day each time."

"Parcel shelf rattled going over bumps; fixed myself. Driver seat squeaks making right turns. Not fixed."

"Intermittent vibration noise in the front dash area started about 2 years ago. For 3 months now it is almost continuous. It does not affect the operation of the vehicle. I must bring it to Honda to get the noise resolved soon."

"On the deck below the back window sounds like something is loose,the rattle is very annoying"

"I already told you about the problem."

"There was a problem in the installation of the rear seat. When bumps were hit, you would hear a creaking sound."

"There is a squeak in the dashboard that has been present since new and the Honda dealer has been unable to fix it. I'm getting frustrated."

"Noises in the rear of vehicle. Dealership could not find the cause."

"There was a loose fastener inside the trunk lid. The dealer repaired it at no charge under warranty."

"I was told that the wind noise i experienced in my2013 honda accord were solved in the 16. not"

"the car just has a lot of wind noise I think it just due to how the car is made not a defect"

"Some wind rush by drivers ear, solved in first attempt by adding some extra material as per service advisory"

"2016 Accord has more wind noise in normal highway conditions than I would expect for the price of the vehicle"

"when traveling on the highway, the road noise is much louder than our Tahoe."
