Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Lkas, acc and pre-collision braking all fail intermittently. I have taken the car to two separate dealerships for diagnosis. The first advised me to replace the optical camera, the second advised me to replace the microwave radar, but neither would affirm that the replacement part would eliminate the intermittent failures. When the system fails, all associated safety features as well as cruise control are disabled for the duration of that trip.”
NHTSA complaint #11399618, filed 2021-03, 62,000 miles“While driving my car suddenly felt like it was braking. The car beeped but no brake light appeared as when it thinks i am going to run into something. There were 2 incidents with nothing in front of me. One was at a low rate if speed and one was on a freeway. The car went back to normal after a second. The incidents were around 3 weeks apart”
NHTSA complaint #11688231, filed 2025-09“All the panel lights on the dashboard lit up. Honda says I need new injectors for about $2000. The car only has about 66,000 miles. They also say a need a new head unit, for the entertainment system. I have had three other Honda accords before this, averaging over 200,000 miles. Never problems like this.”
NHTSA complaint #11713653, filed 2026-01“This is an ongoing problem - -- On startup, the vehicle reports 4 system warnings that shut off the cruise control and ABS brakes as well as the other safety systems. This is an intermittent problem. -- The dealer states that the camera is dead and wants $2,500 to replace and calibrate it. This is a common response from dealers I see in all the forums. -- I have found a work-around that is not documented in forums yet. …”
NHTSA complaint #11700136, filed 2025-11“All 4 warnings came on about a month ago - no safety systems & no cruise control at all. I could drive 50 miles and they'd go off until eventually they did not. Now I find through the forums that this is very common for the 2017 Honda Accord & Hybrid! And, the dealers knowing this are charging over $2,000 for a simple camera! So, they know these have a high failure rate, are not fixing them, and are price gouging us! Please help us all on the roads out there!”
