I bought my Accord in February of 2026 with only 79k miles (now at 93k). 3 days after purchasing all of these warning lights popped up regarding emissions, brake system, power steering, etc. I brought it back in and they said that it needed a new fuel injector on cylinder one (which didn’t fix the issue). I have replaced all 4 spark plugs and kept up with maintenance since it has been in my ownership. Now I’m having issues with the car going in limp mode, decreased acceleration, decreased mpg, and constant misfire codes! I do not feel safe in this car anymore since it has almost left me stranded as well as it disabling the safety features which could put me at risk. Honda desperately needs to fix this issue seeing as it’s putting their customers at risk, along with others on the road. NHTSA please do something!
Was at a stoplight, came to a complete stop once at a complete stop car completely shut all the way off, losing all electricity no hazard lights. You cannot press down on the brakes to restart the car. You could not do anything. Car lost 100% of power 5 to 10 minutes later, Vehicle shut back on automatically and engine started to run automatically.
head unit touch screen will occasionally, uncontrollably create multiple phantom touches all over the screen, multiple per second continuously. driver cannot resolve while in motion. driver cannot cannot click away while the issue is occurring as the issue seems to mask real input. very distracting not only visually, but hearing as well. worst case the car could inadvertently contact emergency services via phones or cars sos capabilities. occurs at any / all speeds. multiple reported issues online and honda has done nothing.
Vehicle infotaiment screen glitches and therefore is not making user access all car warnings ans switches screen during driving specially if using the navigation feature.
The infotainment center went bad. It has been replaced... twice and is still bad. The screen jumps from XM radio to compass to clock to settings to FM radio to maps to XM radio to _____. It may do that 30-40 times a minute. And with each change there is a beep. This cannot be turned off. It is verrrry distracting. Honda says there is nothing that can be done to fix this. ?!?!?!?! They said I would have to wait until they come up with an idea to try, though it may be a year to two. Going online reveals that many others have the same issue. This cannot be safe. Beep..... beep.... beep.... beep. Ans the screen changing. You are constantly trying to touch the screen to get it back there you want it. It may takes 50-60 touches to do it. All the time you are trying to watch the road. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP???
