REAR BACK-UP CAMERA FAILED ON CAR WITH LESS THAN 28,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED WITH A HIGH REAR, SO UNLESS THE BACK-UP CAMERA IS WORKING, THERE'S BLIND SPOTS WHEN REVERSING THE CAR. FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER RARE DEEP FREEZE/ICE/MOISTURE EVENT IN LATE FEB 2021. WONDERING IF MOISTURE GOT INTO CAMERA SOMEHOW.
Other or unspecified, Mar 22, 2021
REAR BACKUP CAMERA HAS FAILED. THERE IS SIMILAR NHTSA CAMPAIGN 18V629 THAT COVERS 2018 HONDA ACCORD BUT NOT 2017 HONDA ACCORD. THERE ARE SEVERAL USERS REPORTING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE REAR BACKUP CAMERA ON THE HONDA ACCORD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
Other or unspecified, Feb 24, 2021
BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING. IT ONLY DISPLAYS ORANGE LINES. WHEN TRYING TO ADJUST THE IMAGE THE SCREEN DISPLAYS STATIC LIKE LINES AND ALSO THE LIGHTS ON DISPLAY SCREEN GOES DIM. UNABLE TO GET CAMERA TO WORK. OWN CAR ONE YEAR WITH A LITTLE OVER 17,000 MILES AT TIME I PURCHASED. IT ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT NOW. NOT HAVING BACK UP CAMERA WORKING CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

THERE ARE THREE THINGS CONCERNING TO ME, I'M ORDER OF IMPORTANCE: 1) WHEN I DRIVE IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING THE WAY THE CAR JERKS. THE OTHER DAY MY GEAR IDENTIFIER KEPT BLINKING N/3 BACK & FORTH & A ERROR LIGHT POPPED UP INDICATING AN EMISSIONS ERROR & A TRANSMISSION ERROR. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR THE GEAR IDENTIFIER STOPPED BLINKING & JUST SHOWED D. I TOOK IT TO HONDA & THEY SAID THEY RECEIVED A P076 ERROR WHICH MEANS CONDEMNED TRANSMISSION, BUT AFTER THE REDOING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LIKE THEY HAD DONE A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE ISSUE & RERAN THE CODE NOTHING POPULATED ON THE DIAGNOSTICS. I WAS TOLD IT COULD HAVE BEEN A GLITCH. 2) MY NAVIGATION SCREEN GOES BLANK AT RANDOM MOMENTS WITH NO WARNING & WHEN ASKED JUST ADVISED NO UPDATES FOR IT SHOWING. 3) SOMETIMES MY BLUETOOTH WILL NOT CONNECT TO DEVICES OR I CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC, BUT CANNOT SPEAK WITH SOMEONE ON THE PHONE, THEY CANNOT HEAR ME & I CAN'T HEAR THEM, I HAVE TO PUT MY PHONE ON PRIVATE OR SPEAKER.

1/10/2020 CAR WOULDN'T START. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEY PROVIDE A JUMP START IN WHICH THE CAR STARTED. DROVE THE CAR RIGHT TO DAVID HOBBS HONDA. THEY PERFORMED TEST WHICH SAID EVERYTHING. 6/4/2020 MY CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXPECT THIS TIME I DID DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER GETTING A JUMP START. LATER THAT EVENING I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. 6/5/2020 MORNING THE CAR WOULDN'T START. IN ALL INCIDENTS THE CAR WOULD TRY TO TURN ON BUT WOULDN'T, THE KEYLESS ENTRY WORKED, ALL LIGHTS WORKS. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ALL INCIDENTS. ALL INCIDENTS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. 6/5/2020 MY CAR WAS TOWED TO DAVID HOBBS HONDA AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN IT ARRIVED NOTHING WAS WORKING. THEY CALLED BACK LATER IN THE DAY AFTER DOING TESTING AND ONCE AGAIN SAID ALL TESTING WAS FINE. HOWEVER, THEY WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MY VEHICLE OVERNIGHT TO SEE IF MY CAR WOULD WORK IN THE MORNING AND TO DO TESTING AGAIN. MY VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED I CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE RUBBING. AS THE CAR GETS UP TO SPEED THE SOUND IS STILL THERE, BUT NOT AS NOTICEABLE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER NOISES DURING DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GETTING STUCK OR HAVE A SLOW RELEASE. THERE IS NO VISUAL DAMAGE TO THE ROTOR OR BRAKE PADS, BUT THE WHEEL NOISE IS STILL THERE. I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. I DON'T CARE IF ITS KNOWN TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE TIRE/RIM PACKAGE, OR WHATEVER. FIX THE ISSUE! THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ON THE HUNT FOR THE FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2017 ACCORD - IN SEPTEMBER 2019 THE BACKUP CAMERA LCD SCREEN STARTED TO FLICKER FOR A WEEK OR SO EACH TIME I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE. WHEN I CHANGED THE CAMERA ANGLE IT WOULD SOMETIMES COME BACK AND WORK WHILE BACKING UP, BUT THEN IT WENT TO A BLACK SCREEN ALTOGETHER. IT'S BEEN BLACK EVER SINCE, THE CAMERA GOES ON WHILE I REVERSE BUT NOTHING SHOWS ON THE LCD SCREEN BUT THE GUIDING YELLOW LINES. I WENT TO FIX THE CAMERA TODAY MYSELF AND NOTICED THE RECALL OF THE 2018 ACCORDS. I THINK THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH THE 2017 ACCORD. I'D LIKE TO SEE HONDA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY RATHER THAN HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $200-$350 TO FIX THIS. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND THAT BROUGH ME TO THIS SITE. VEHICLES RECALLED: 232,140 OF THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN AND 2019 HONDA INSIGHT HYBRID SEDAN. THE PROBLEM: THE BACKUP CAMERA MAY FAIL BECAUSE OF BAD SOFTWARE. THE FIX: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE DISPLAY AUDIO UNIT SOFTWARE, AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS. HOW TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER: THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN NOV. 5, 2018. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 888-234-2138. HONDA'S NUMBERS FOR THIS RECALL ARE K2G AND V2F. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629

BACKUP CAMERA HAS BECOME BLURRY AND UPON RESEARCH ONLINE, THERE ARE OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2018 HONDA ACCORD VEHICLES, HOWEVER, THIS RECALL NEEDS TO APPLY TO ALL HONDA'S WITH BACK UP CAMERAS BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE OWNER CANNOT SEE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE DUE TO HOW BLURRY IT IS.
Other or unspecified, Oct 24, 2019
REAR CAMERA HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE DASHBOARD SCREEN SHOWS A BLACK BACKGROUND WITH HORIZONTAL 'VIBRATING ' LINES. 2018 HONDA ACCORDS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS BUT TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE 2017 ACCORDS ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM.

ON 9-12-2019, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH HER 2017 HONDA ACCORD. SHE TURNED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A LOCAL FUNERAL HOME, STOPPED AND WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED, SURGING FORWARD OVER THE CURB, DOWN THE LANDSCAPED BANK, OVER ANOTHER CURB, CROSSED OVER A 2 LANE ROAD, OVER A CURB INTO A FAST FOOD ENTRANCE, OFF THE CURB, CONTINUING FORWARD AND HIT THE RIGHT REAR CLIP OF A CAR IN THE DRIVE THRU, OVER ANOTHER CURB AND FINALLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING A TREE. THE BREAKS DID NOT SLOW OR STOP THE CAR. THE CAR TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET BEFORE STRIKING THE TREE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO ALL OF THE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO MY HONDA DEALER ON 9-13-19. THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THEIR NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS. HONDA SENT FIELD REPS OUT TO EXAMINE THE CAR AND TRY TO PULL ANY DATA. ON 10/10/19 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA STATING NO ISSUES FOUND. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I FOUND OVER 150 ISSUES WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH HONDA. THIS REOCCURRING ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT RESULTS INTO SOMEONE DYING .

LAST NIGHT I HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM WORKED AND GONE IN THE HOUSE TO CHANGE FOR CHURCH. LESS THAN 5 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY CAR AND WHEN TRYING TO START IT, IT WOULD START UP. LIGHTS FLICKERED ON DASH, BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. HAD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE COME TO JUMP START CAR. LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR WON'T START AFTER DRIVING THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON ALREADY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HIS HAPPENED THIS YEAR, WITH IN A FEW MONTHS. CAR HAS LESS THAT 50K MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IF I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT WHEELS ON 2017 ACCORD SPORT SINCE ALMOST NEW. VERY NOTICEABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS. HONDA DEALER INSISTED GRINDING NOISE WAS FROM TIRE/RIM COMBINATION AND NOT ITEMS SUCH AS ROTORS, BRAKES, AND/OR WHEEL BEARINGS, ETC..

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS, THE EMISSIONS/ELECTRICAL/CHECK ENGINE ON THE 2017 HONDA ACCORD IS AN ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON ERROR ON THE 2016 HONDA'S AND NEWER. THE EMISSION ERROR SYSTEM HAS COME ON AGAIN. THE LAST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM THE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE SYSTEM ERROR COMES ON WHEN DRIVING WHEN RAINING, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ALSO A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS WELL. I FIND THIS CONCERNING ON A NEW, 100 PERCENT DEALER MAINTAINED VEHICLE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL/EMISSION PROBLEM IN THE SYSTEM AND IT REQUIRES AN INDEPENDENT PARTY TO REVIEW. THE TECH STATES NO ISSUE CAN ARISE FROM HAVING THE CHECK ENGINE/EMISSION LIGHT ON BUT THE CAR DOES TEND TO LOSE POWER DURING THESE ISSUES. HONDA OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR MANUFACTURE ERRORS.

RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR CAR DOC MAINTENANCE FOR AND AN OIL CHANGE. PAPERWORK STATES THE BATTERY IS GOOD. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER MECHANIC BROUGHT MY VEHICLE OUT TO ME I JUMPED TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START SO I INFORMED THE HONDA MECHANIC AND THEY GAVE ME A JUMP WITH THE JUMPER BOX. IT'S BEEN 1 MONTH SINCE THEN AND MY CAR WON'T START AT THE ODDEST TIMES EVEN AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE. CAR WON'T START OR TURN OVER AND THE LIGHTS JUST FLICKER ON AND OFF. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK TO GET A JUMP MY CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND IT WON'T START. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH HONDA I HAD THE CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND I HAVE LESS THAN 50K MILES
