Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rear camera display went black except for the yellow lines. When shifting into reverse, there was a recall on 2018 but never received notification. This car was bought new.”
NHTSA complaint #11398992, filed 2021-03, 9,863 miles“The rear backup camera does not work when the vehicle is put into reverse. The screen goes black and only shows the grid lines of the backup camera viewing area. There are no other issues with the Navigation system, radio display, or other car features and controls displayed on the navigation screen. I took the car into my local Honda Dealer, and they tested the unit and found no electrical shorts or open circuits. Their recommended fix was to replace the entire Navigation System. …”
NHTSA complaint #11422374, filed 2021-06“The backup camera on this vehicle stopped working during the summer of 2021 with fewer than 15,000 miles on the vehicle. The failure of the camera was noted on an invoice for an oil change dated July 1, 2021, which I have retained should you want it. At the time, I learned that about 600,000 Hondas from the next two model years had been recalled because of a defect with the backup camera. Attempts to obtain informal accommodation from Honda proved useless, and I ultimately decided to have the camera replaced at a cost of over $550. …”
NHTSA complaint #11464165, filed 2022-05“The rear camera system/speaker periodically gives a screeching static sound which was so unbearable until Team Honda (Lafayette, LA) had to disconnect the entire system. I researched this issue and conclude it must be a factory defect because 1) due to the low mileage and infrequent usage of this vehicle 2) the commonalities among other 2017 Honda Accord Drivers with the same issues who are from different regions, and because the speaker works when I plug in my iphone. Team Honda wants me to pay $1200 to install a new one because the original factory system is out of warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #11471488, filed 2022-06“The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while her son was reversing, the rearview camera displayed a blank image. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the rearview camera needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.”
