Electrical system, Service brakes, Aug 25, 2023
Abs module failed. Abs pump failed. Wheels locked on highway almost lost control.
Service brakes, Aug 21, 2023
After my car serviced. Four new wheels, alignment, oil change etc..My ABS light, Brake light, Traction control light, and power steering light all started to come on at the same time. I did some research and found out its due to Honda’s faulty ABS module. It cost $2600.00 to repair and its all due to a wire malfunction inside the module.

Stalling, engine light turned on, bad gas mileage
Steering, Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Aug 11, 2023, crash
2017 Honda Accord V6; Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Module went bad and it needs to be replaced but Honda is unable to provide quick fix or a replacement part because it is backordered and they don't know when they'll have it in stock even when I am willing to pay for it upfront. This is causing my car to go out of control on wet roundabouts or when merging from interstate to local roads w/ good Tires condition and within speed limit.

The audio entertainment system malfunctions and randomly makes extremely loud static noises, squealing, beeping, thumping and bass sounds, from all speakers. These noises can't be controlled or stopped, as they happen even when the audio is turned off. The noises are extremely unpleasant, uncomfortable, and loud enough to cause hearing loss. The noises happen randomly and startle the driver which can lead to accidents. The only way to stop the noises is to turn off the car, requiring the driver to pull over suddenly when the noise becomes unbearable, and often must turn off the car when stopped at red lights which is very dangerous. The dealer confirmed that Honda is aware of this problem, that the only remedy is to completely replace the audio entertainment system, and that the units are on back order and unavailable. There are no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem, it just suddenly occurs. The noise began suddenly about two months ago, and has become increasingly louder and more frequent, to the point of happening every time the vehicle is operated and almost constantly while being operated.

Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Jul 7, 2023
Hello I am proudly owner of honda since 2003 i only buy honda cars and recently on my 2017 honda we have issues with sensing system this error codes come and goes and i went to dealer and they told me to replace sensing Camara in front but I think it is just manufacturing defects because error code come and goes while you drive car. I cannot use any feature such as cruise control, forwarding collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance and all features including in sensing system. I was on long distance trip and when i was coming back all those errors started coming.

The rear backup camera quit working making it more dangerous to back up without it. The dealer was too busy to examine it for awhile. I believe it may be a cable problem like was identified on other Honda models recently because my camera screen is also blank.
Electrical system, Jun 26, 2023
Backup camera not displaying on display screen when in reverse. Impedes safety because I cannot accurately reverse due to the trunk size. Cannot see any incoming cars when I am in reverse.

About 3 months ago, the emergency brake light, traction control light, ABS light and power steering light started coming off and on, they now stay on all the time. I took and had it checked, CODE 121-11 for the VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Had it checked for a program update I was told that there wasn't an update and the part to fix it has been on backorder from Honda for at least two years. (I notified Honda about this) I have a very strange sound when applying the brakes on a cold start and I can also feel a jerk in the brake pedal. Also noticed that oil is leaking around the engine cover and was told that it is a manufacturing issue with Honda. The cover is plastic and over the years, the plastic shrinks and causes a small oil leak. Replacing the cover and gasket would fix this.

Forward collision avoidance, Lane departure, Jun 1, 2023
The adaptive cruise system on this vehicle will get you rear ended real fast. It applies the brakes whenever it feels like it, when you make a turn while passing a truck it will slam on the brakes so hard it tries to throw you thru the windshield and all you are doing is passing a truck in a turn The lane departure is dangerous because it fights you in a turn to the point you have to fight to stay in lane and it shakes the steering wheel which seems to me would be the last thing you want to have happen

My back-up camera stopped working at around 40,000 miles of driving. When I put my car in reverse, I only get a black screen.

Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 19, 2023
The V6 version is under recall. However, this vehicle should be as well. The car fails to accelerate. My car was at the Honda Dealership for over ten days. I came in because my car was unexpectedly unable to accelerate. Honda advised me there wasn't a code but I needed a new battery and other maintenance. I picked up my car, and within 1 mile, I could not accelerate when exiting and was nearly in an accident. Honda advised me at first the car had a misfire and then was unable to duplicate the error. I advised them that it was a safety hazard to drive the vehicle, and if I leave the shop and get into an accident it would be their fault. The next day they said it was a valve issue, and now fuel injectors. I did a search online, and many Honda Accords 2017 owners have the same issue.

The RF and LR door locks won't unlock or lock with the switch or the key fob. By not being able to lock or unlock those doors, if I had an accident my passengers would not be able to exit the car.

It has not been inspected by anyone other than me. and the problem started with the LR door lock not working, now has also started on the RF door, the LR started about 2 months ago and the RF started 3 days ago.
