2024 Honda Accord Hybrid Problems

What owners report

Owners of this 2024 model year most often report sudden loss of drive power along with a set of warning messages, and steering noises or sticky steering that they describe as worsening over time. Brake and electric parking brake warning messages are also common, and several owners say they could not get parts for the 24V763000 fuel pump recall. Because this model year is recent, mileage is usually not recorded, and the reports that give mileage are mostly under about 10,000 miles.

   Sudden loss of drive power with warning messages

   • 34 complaints (44%)
   • median 4,200 mi at 0.8 yrs old (5 state mileage, few)
   • 3 mention a crash, fire or injury
   • filed 2023–2026

   Owners describe sudden loss of drive power while driving, sometimes at highway speed, with several warning lights and messages appearing at the same time. Some say the car switched to electric-only operation and then lost propulsion as the battery drained, while others say it would not move or restart until they turned it off and back on. One complaint records a dealer finding that the control module was not communicating with the charging system. Mileage is usually not recorded, but the one stated figure is about 4,800 miles, and several reports describe the problem at highway speeds.

   Recall 25V7850001 related service bulletin

   What to check: Ask whether the 25V785000 software recall has been completed and whether any lost communication codes or warning lights are stored. Check that the hybrid system and warning lights work normally during a test drive, and ask the dealer to scan for communication fault codes.

   “On October 12, 2026, my 2024 Honda Accord Sport-L Hybrid experienced a serious and potentially dangerous loss of propulsion while driving. Without warning, multiple warning lights and system malfunction messages appeared simultaneously on the dashboard. The vehicle then switched to electric-only (EV) operation, and the gasoline engine was no longer providing propulsion. I continued operating the vehicle using the remaining hybrid battery charge. …”

   NHTSA complaint #11771616, filed 2026-10

   “I was driving at about 40 mph and the car lost all power and stopped in the middle of the road. Most all of the warning lights were on like low air pressure, reduced brakes and a brake problem light etc. Turned the car off and restarted and drove another 5 miles with the brake problem light still on. Stopped and restarted car and the brake light went off and all seems normal now. From my reading on Honda Accord Forums it might be a bad ICM unit? Will be contacting a Honda dealer soon.”

   Steering

   Steering noises, popping, and sticky steering

   • 17 complaints (22%)
   • median 5,600 mi at 0.6 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
   • filed 2023–2025

   Owners describe popping, clicking, clunking, or creaking when turning the wheel, often at low speed or while parking, and some say the noise gets louder over time. Several describe the steering feeling sticky, resisting small corrections, or drifting at highway speed, and one says the car pulls to one side. Some report that a steering rack or gearbox was replaced without ending the problem, and one says the dealer had no replacement part and the issue was not under recall. Mileage is usually not recorded; the two stated figures are about 5,600 and 6,000 miles, and several say the noise or resistance gets worse over time.

   What to check: Ask whether the steering rack, gearbox, or alignment has been replaced and whether the noise returned afterward. On a test drive, listen for popping or clunking at low speed while turning and check for sticky steering at highway speed.

   “Turning the wheel causes a popping and crackle type of noise. The sound is continuing to worsen and I can hear it from inside and outside of the car. Local Honda dealer told us there isn’t a replacement part as of now and this is a factory defect that hasn’t been recalled at the present time. I feel it could be a safety issue related to the ability to steer and control the car when it sticks or pulls”

   NHTSA complaint #11646223, filed 2025-03

   “After about twenty minutes of driving I start having sticking steering. Around 65-70mph it starts getting difficult to keep the car in a straight line as it drifts to the left or the right. It doesn't matter if lane keep/ lane departure is on or off. When I'm able to get the car to turn it jolts to one side or the other, and then I need to constantly correct the car. As snow and slippery conditions are just about here the chances of losing control is extremely enhanced. …”

   Brakes

   Brake and electric parking brake warning messages

   • 14 complaints (18%)
   • median 5,037 mi at 0.9 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
   • 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
   • filed 2024–2025

   Owners describe brake system, electric parking brake, ABS, or hill start warning messages that appear while driving, sometimes with the car stopping or the brake pedal not responding. Some say dealers could not duplicate the failure or find a cause, and one says the warning lights returned weekly after the service department reset them without finding codes. A few report the car slowing or stopping on its own with the brakes engaged, and one describes a brake pedal that did not respond during a side collision. Mileage is often not recorded, but stated figures run from about 74 to about 10,000 miles.

   What to check: Ask a technician to check for stored brake, ABS, and electric parking brake codes, not just the dash messages. Check that the warning messages stay off during a test drive, and ask whether the dealer found a cause on any earlier visit.

   “I was sitting in my car, and the entire steering and brake system went offline and the car had a bunch of hazard lights on and said to tow to a dealership. I tested the steering, and didn’t feel the wheels turn with the steering wheel, and the brakes went to the floor. When I went to shut off my car, it did the emergency shut-off (press 2xs or hold for 3 seconds). I attempted to restart the car about 4 times that night, and then I let it sit and tried it again 2 more times before having it towed to the dealership. …”

   NHTSA complaint #11688599, filed 2025-09

   “I was driving on a highway when the engine light came on and the car immediately started slowing down even though I was pressing the gas pedal. It flashed there was a failure of the brake system, collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, hill start assist system, and adaptive cruise control system. The check battery light also came on. The car decelerated on its own with brakes engaged. I had to choice but to immediately pull over and luckily was able to steer to an off ramp and into a parking lot.”

   Fuel system

   Fuel pump recall: repair parts unavailable

   • 8 complaints (10%)
   • median 22,400 mi at 0.8 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
   • filed 2024–2026

   Owners describe receiving a notice for the 24V763000 high-pressure fuel pump recall and being told the repair part was not yet available, with dealers unable to say when it would arrive.

Owners ask how they should keep using the car while they wait. Mileage is often not recorded; the one stated figure is about 22,400 miles, and several describe waiting for parts for two months or longer.

   “My car that i just recently purchased, has an active recall on the fuel pump and it has now been more than 60 days with no remedy. My car is leaking and i fear everytime i drive that it may catch on fire if the fuel leak occurs in the presence of an ignition source.”

   NHTSA complaint #11632923, filed 2024-12

   “Re: Two Honda Fuel Pump Recalls in 10 Months In 60 years of driving, I never had a recall on a car until February 2024. In the past 10 months, I have had 2 Hondas recalled for life-threatening fuel pump issues. 1) In 2019, I purchased my first Honda, a Civic. 2) In February, 2024, I received a recall on the 2019 Honda Civic for an improperly constructed fuel pump. I was told the car could just stop - and cause an accident in highway driving. …”
