Honda Accord Change Vehicle

"CarPlay must be reset to factory settings every month or so to get it to work."

"Apple Car Play just stops working every so often. We have returned the car to the dealership 4 times hoping for a fix, but as yet, none exists. The battery must be disconnected and left that way for a few minutes, then reconnected. Then the car has to be run long enough to reinitialize (5-10 minutes), or else the system goes utterly nuts, displaying false errors and warnings."

"The upgrade to iOS 11.2.5 broke the CarPlay functionality. It is not clear if this was a Honda problem or an Apple problem (and I suspect the latter because owners of other car brands were also reporting issues). I was eventually able to fix the problem myself by attempting different setting configurations on my iPhone (and it was nothing, in the end, recommended by Apple). It was a frustrating experience and the impression I was left with was that Apple cared very little about supporting CarPlay."

"when I connect the phone to the cable the Apple Play button does not indicate connected every time. I have to disconnect and reconnect the cable a few times to get it to work. Eventually I do get connected, just frustrating."

"carplay doesn't connect to iPhone when plugged in"

"March 2020. Driving home from FL I lost all use of Apple CarPlay. Repaired by dealer and was told the Bluetooth needed an update."

"The dealer claimed that it was caused by not using an actual Apple brand cord to attach the phone. It completely ruined the Carplay system"

"I am unable to access my Amazon music"

"Stopped working due to a software problem. Not currently able to repair"

"Periodically the car is unable to recognise/connect with my iPhone when it is connected via its cord to usb. I've tried known to be good connecting cords, tried an alternative usb port and tried turning off & on the display. The iPhone had recognized my face and was unlocked."

"CAR WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE OR CONNECT TO THE IPHONE"

"The radar sensor sometimes incorrectly indicates that an object is approaching the front left or front right of the vehicle while I am stopped at a red light or a drive-thru."

"backup camera distance grid does not show up periodically"

"Blurred screen on panel. Fortunately Honda did a recall on it. Replaced computer device easy."

"If you put car in reverse before system is fully loaded back up camera controls will not work and radio cuts out. Honda could not fix"

"The problem happened twice about a year ago in 2019. I don't remember the details but it seemed to be something with the electronics. The dealer was not able to help because they did not witness the problem which was intermittent. It did not inspire confidence in the car but I have not seen this problem in about 9 months."

"camera went out. honda replaced free."

"Since the recall software update for the camera system if I put the car in reverse to backup, before the Honda logo shows up on the screen, the backup camera shows no backup lines and reboots the whole computer system as soon as it goes out of reverse. I took it to Honda and called the local Honda rep and they said this is normal because its a computer and I'm not letting it boot up. I shouldn't have to wait to backup with out crashing the computer. This is the main reason I'm not sure the next car will be a Honda."

"Grid did not always display on screen."

"Recall-camera didn’t display backup properly"

"fixed under a recall by Honda"

"It did not come with one and was not available as an option. The is no aux input to accept an aftermarket external cd player."

"onboard comoyter reboot by dealer"

"For whatever reason the display screen will freeze, and you cannot change any of the screen options!"

"The screen freezes up occassionally but when I put the car in reverse the camera operates. I have to stop the car and turn off the engine, wait a minute, then restart the car and it usually the screen returns to a normal mode."

"When starting the car, the display should boot up within seconds, much like your phone or tablet. Three times in less than 3 months the display took about 5 minutes before booting up."

"My car was new with only 3200 miles driven, and the display would randomly go blank and have to restart completely, this happened on six occasions in two months. Which caused the navigation and phone system to be inaccessible while rebooting. I contacted Honda and took the vehicle to the dealer three separate times and it was never resolved because the dealer could not replicate the same issue."

"When turning on the car and putting it in reverse the display system and radio will turn off and restart. Backup camera will still display but with no guide lines. Will restart in 10-30 seconds. Only happens 15% of the time. Took it to the dealer and they were not aware of existing issues and were not able to fix it."

"This is the second unit in the car. Periodically the screen goes blank and I lose radio, navigation, back-up and all functions attached to the infotainment system. It resets itself most of the time and occasionally I have to stop, shut the motor off, restart and the system reboots."

"see previous comment"

"The audio/touch screen system would periodically go blank and reboot. The dealership improved it by a software update. It seems to be related to Apple CarPlay. It now rarely does it but the system will occasionally reboot."

"The problem began on January 2020. Until May 10th 2020, the screen has gone blank approximately 15 times. It goes blank then comes back on by itself. Most of the time, when it comes back on everything is back to normal. A few times, Apple Car Play does not function."

"Very, very occasionally after starting the car, the display screen will be blank. The car is completely driveable. I just am not able to access things like the radio. After turning the car off and then restarting, the display screen will be fine. Because this is so intermittent (probably 1% of starts), and does not follow a pattern, it appears to be a software glitch that the dealer is not able to address."

"The display screen goes blank after starting the car about 1% of the time. Once the car is turned off, the display functions normally again."

"Display screen goes blank and will take about 10 seconds to restart. Dealer updates have not resolved problem. I’m told Honda is aware of the problem and is “working on a fix”."

"Display screen goes completely blank unable to set alarm and trunk is unable to be opened when this happens no manual way on this car to open trunk when this happens never had this on an accord and have driven them for over 25 years this is my last accord seating is terrible car is to low and the passenger seat has no control to raise the seat and my wife has hurt her back due to this drove a 2013 Honda Accord sport for four and a half years on lease and liked the car the engineers at Honda shoild be ashamed of themselves they had great cars up to 2017 but this 2018 is terrible. There is just to much electronics on this car and the people that put this vehicle together should know why they are not selling Honda Accord sports as I have read that a lot of people do not like this vehicle. I have leased my accords from the same dealership for over 25 years but will not lease an accord in the future when this lease is up. I will look at the crv and. hope they have not ruined it as they have with the accord sport."

"After ~12 month's use the display screen infrequently goes blank stopping music, FM, USB or my iPhone is being used. I estimate it has occurred about 6 times."

"Intermittently resets. It's annoying but seems harmless. The one downside is you're cut off from any info that may have come from that device. Everything else seems to work fine. It doesn't happen every time I drive but it does happen at least monthly. Wish it would be addressed. This seems to be a known issue."

"While driving on long trips the infotainment system goes blank, so that there is no radio, navigation system. Eventually comes back on but progressively this became more frequent and the system did not automatically reboot until the car was stopped and restarted."

"USB interface sometimes crashing, disconnecting the apple carplay requiring disconnect and reconnect."

"Does not display all track information when using a USB Stick for music replay."

"Plug flash drive with MP3 in USB port. Does not play. Works in all other vehicles. Service department can not fix. No CD player backup, so no tunes! Bring back the CD players!"

"My older generation IPOD would not operate properly in this vehicle. I had to purchase a new IPOD which operated properly most of the time. After a few software updates, I have not experienced any further problems with connectivity."

"The system doesn't recognize my IPod or Samsung Smart phone even when it has been connected all along. I have to unconnect the device then plug it back in to make it work. Bluetooth shows it's on but the system will not answer an incoming call or make an out going call. Very frustrating."

"Very elaborate sound system but very poor inputs for that system. No CD/DVD player. Have to use Lossy USB thumb drive or Poor FM signals. Will not subscribe to Sirius and pay them for poor choices in music and then pay for the internet service/cell service to use it."

"The "voice" that provides turn by turn instructions come on at random even when it is set to be silent. This can happen any time, at start up, during a trip, and sometimes if I adjust the radio volume. This is both annoying and somewhat dangerous since the control to adjust or shut off the voice requires going through four screens so it is hard to do while driving. I reported this to the dealer several times but since it is hard to rerproduce they were skeptical. Finally after getting an error code that they were able to access, I was told that the problem was known but required an software update from the GPS supplier but it has never been made available. The in dash GPS is not made by Honda, but a third party. While is says that it is a Garmin, the dealer said that there is a different supplier that would need to do the update. I have pretty much given up on getting it fixed. Since the rest of the car has been absolutely reliable I have chosen to live with it until I can purchase another car."

"Dealer had to reboot the system"

"It never works. When I use it, I also use my phone. The maps show the car driving on a lake, on streets that I'm not driving on, and has sent me in circles. The service people say there's nothing wrong with it. The problem is always with the satellite. Big waste of money."

"GPS would either stop communicating and displaying on the Heads-up display & dashboard, *or* GPS screen would be totally black saying no database found."

"Occasionally GPS display goes blank with a status of unable to load database and the compass stops displaying on the Heads Up Display too. The only way to resolve it is to perform a total factory system reset which also wipes out all personalization, history and settings, etc. Dealer claims Honda says it's a known issue."

"System needed rebooting."

"The voice feature of the GPS turns on at random even though the system parameters have shut it off."

"the only connects with a cable even though I set up the bluetooth"

"While using android and the android car app, often when receiving A call or dialing , the call does not transfer to the speakers. This problem does not happen with apple device and apple car."

"When I attempt to use voice command through bluetooth it randomly fails to work. Took it to dealer and they installed an update. It has not fully resolved the problem. I plan to take it to the dealer again to check out the problem."

"Low frequency hum. It was corrected eventually."

"Many of the car's problems were fixed by software updates that the dealer charges for and doesn't make available to consumers. I also have to ask them and pay a diagnostic fee to get them to check for the updates. I believe this is a bad practice."

"computer shut car down shop could not find nor explain problem."

"I have had at least two instances that required me to go to the dealer for software updates that would work over my home WiFi. The car was drivable, the the annoying problems with the software makes me wonder about the overall quality of the car."

"company recall"

"system fails if car placed in reverse before software fully loads"

"2018 Accord had bugs with apple car play and other software issues . After a month or 2 the dealer was able to install a fix and all is good now"

"They applied a recall fix for the back up camera and this fix caused more issues than what i had before."

"The speakers on the rear deck rattle at louder volumes and at certain bass frequencies. The speakers seem to be fine. the problem seems to be two pieces of metal that vibrate and possibly touch each other. I seem to have fixed the problem by inserting pieces of foam between these two pieces of metal."

"onboard computer rebooted by dealer"

"I was surprised by the rattles in this redesigned 2018 Honda Accord EX-L. In the past the Honda's I've had were pretty much silent inside. This was a real disappointment to me. I didn't think Honda did this poor engineering. You should see the hood pulse and vibrate at highway speed. Terrible"

"Constant rattle from inside dash somewhere. Have not had time to get vehicle to Honda for repair."

"At 50 mph or higher, ~75% of the time the car has started making an extremely annoying low pitch squeaking noise."

"Left side-view mirror buzzes when speed reaches 50 mph. Right side-view mirror clicks loudly when car is put into reverse."

"persistent, sometimes intermittent, rattles in dash area of car. dealer has fixed three issues so far but one still persists."

"Exhaust system rattles and bounces off of the underside of the car"

"Started April 2019. Occasional rattle under dash. Inconsistent so difficult to identify cause. Not yet resolved."

"Plastic dash parts rattled, problem not resolved I just sold the car."

"Have experienced squeaks in the front door panels and around the gear shift compartment where the wireless phone charger is located. Squeaks during rough roads and hot summer days. Not sure why but it depends on the temperature of the plastic."

"I had a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L, just like my 2018. The 2018 seems to be made of thinner metal or lack of gussets as everything rattles. This is very irritating to the point of making me look at a Toyota"

"Rattles in the Dashboard area Also car was in the shop for over a week with fuel injection problems"

"buzz/rattle at 900-1200 RPM and at 1500 RPM"

"rear deck in two different places rattle against rear windshield. VSA cable rattle against firewall at 1500 RPM. poor fit on hood to trunk on one side. doors almost aligned."

"The rattle seems to be coming from the rear desk on the passenger side area! I don’t hear the rattle if someone is seating in the back seat!"

"Squeaks and rattles occur in the dashborad and in the passenger door. The noises are intermittent and appear to disappear on their own in warmer weather. In cold weather, the noises are annoying and always present."

"It seems that Honda has done away with the sound deading. Multiple squeaks and rattles. Subwoofer must be turned down or the whole rear package tray will sound like its trying to detach itself. If you run a audio sweep generator you find Honda clips certain frequencies"

"Dashboard rattle"

"When the vehicle is cold, there are rattles in the dash and panel behind the rear seats. They will go away after the vehicle warms up."

"rattle in dashboard. For brakes---problem was with faulty booster from the date of purchase."

"There were two squeaks and rattles in the dashboard area. One came from the head up display and it was fixed. The other appears to be coming from behind the infotainment display and still hasn’t been fixed because it does not happen consistently."

"Passenger seat and HUD squeaks"

"A buzzing noise that occurred during acceleration at a rpm of between 1800 and 2000."

"There's a squeak that comes from the dashboard more frequently when the weather warms up (80+ degrees). Searching the Honda Forums on the internet, everyone agrees that it's in the HUD on the Touring model. The fix is as simple as wedging in a piece of felt or something to tighten up the HUD trim. And of course, the dealer again, found nothing wrong."

"The squeak came from the Heads Up Display housing."

"There is a rattling sound coming from the steering column when driving over rough pavement."

"noisest car, much less brand new car i ever bought; multiple noises from dash, and from both b pillars"

"There is a design problem with the driver's side mirror. It took 3 separate trips to the dealership before it was fixed. The insulation used at the factory to seal the mirror assembly is too thin, and allowed for a buzzing wind noise to occur. Since that was addressed and replaced, the wind noise has not returned."

"Drivers side outside mirror made a wind noise , repairing a gasket fixed the problem"

"At highway speed wind noise is excessive. Also the many fans in the car are excessive at high air volume"

"By far the noisiest car I have ever owned."

"When weather stripping cracked, had wind noise"

"Road noise in this vehicle was excessive, forcing me to replace it."

"high pitched noise when driving around 60"

"when driving on the highway and coming to a bend the auto braking system will engage because it's detecting the car in the other lane. There are also times it flash brake and there is nothing around"

"While driving on the highway, I got a warning message telling me that the car's safety features were disabled (adaptive cruise control, front collision warning and lane keep assist). I drove to a gas station about 5 miles away. At that point, after restarting the car, everything seemed normal. I took it to the dealer the next day, but there was nothing that they could find. There was no apparent reason for all of the warning lights to suddenly come on."

"brakes applied for unknown reason"

"tHERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BACKUP CAMERA the dealer took care of the problem"

"Cruise control would turn off or error out. Car indicated that it needed to be serviced by the dealer. Once the car was turned off and restarted. Cruise control was fine."

"The System has on several occasions, canceled out giving me a beep while driving, nearly causing an accident. then in an attempt to reactivate the ACC the system will give an error. Incline to steep to activate Cruise. keep in mind i'm on a plainly flat Road, with no incline. also on may occasions the system will tell me the speed limit is 100 MPH ( i have a photo of it) when I don't know anywhere in the USA where the speed limit is 100 mph. that's more of a nuisance, than a real issue that the cruise cancels out while driving."

"Lane keep assist is a potentially dangerous system. It will follow the road nicely for a while (I never take my hands off of the wheel), than it will stop. Yes I understand the road will change, but a beep is needed. There is a Lane symbol on the display but while driving it's impossible to look at this. also the indicator isn't always accurate. It will indicate a lane departure warning after it has exceeded the lane boundaries, potentially causing and accident. (that's why I never take my hands off the wheel). if the system is on but not engaged it will still vibrate the wheel and make it difficult to steer on my own. If I choose not to use the system, by turning the system off than I Lose ACC as well as LKAS, which is counter intuitive. I should be able to use one without the other."

"It turns off the security brsking system, car will not reset untill restarted"

"At times ALL cruise functionality is disabled while driving, for some unknown reason. At first this happened in a rain storm, so I thought it was due to camera visibility. But it has happened repeatedly during sunny days for no known reason. Frustrating, because the only way to re-engage the cruise is to pull off the highway, turn off the car and turn it back on."

"the adaptive cruise control initially worked as designed but has since stopped working altogether"

"The automatic brake assist has never worked when approaching another vehicle but has activated when changing lanes"

"Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) would occassionaly detect a slower car not my lane of travel and apply hard breaking, disable the ACC, and display a warning that a critical error had occured and to contact the dealership."

"Front radar sensor would malfunction causing ALL safety systems like cruise control, forward-collision warning system, etc, to inactivate until car was parked and engine stopped & restarted to reenable. Took 11 months & 6 dealer visits before Honda finally came up with a new software update to hopefully fix it."

"Parking sensors go off at random when the car is stopped at traffic light."

"Warning on dash inoperative. Need to see Honda dealer twice. Cleared after shutting off car and restarting."

"The cruise control goes out when the collision mitigation system goes out."

"When this system goes out cruise control and front emergency braking also goes out. In most cases this happens in bright sunlight and driving rain."

"Occasionally on long drives, front radar sensor stops working causing the forward collision warning system, cruise control, and collision avoidance braking systems to become unavailable until the engine is stopped and restarted. Dealer unable to determine cause."

"It goes off while at a complete stop at red lights. And it's not because I'm too close to the car in front of me. The display lights up like a Christmas tree with both the left and right sensors going off. I've taken video of it and showed it to the dealer. Like every dealer in America he said the same thing: No problem found."

"The Collusion Mitigation System fails turning off the Adaptive Cruise Control."

"About once a month it disconnected and gives a warning that it is inoperable. When I stop and restart the car, he problem goes away."

"Same/part of adaptive speed control problem."

"While on adaptive cruise control a message would appear that said collision avoidance malfunction - see dealer and the cruise control would become inoperable. when I stopped and then restarted the car it would work again."
