2025 Honda Accord

Have received notification many months ago that my car has a recall on the tire repair kit. Have been told it’s been back ordered for months. Have called multiple dealerships and being told the same thing. This is a safety issue and unacceptable at this point.

In May 2025, I received an error message upon vehicle start up which states “Software update is not available. Please see your dealer.” This error has continued to appear each time the vehicle is started. When I took it to my dealer in May 2025, they told me that there was nothing they could do and that Honda had to put out an over the air software update to fix the issue. I have asked about this during subsequent dealer visits and each time they say the same thing. The issue has not been fixed nearly 14 months now.

I was driving an interstate freeway with my cruise on set to 75mph while passing a truck, both the truck and I were in are respective lanes and neither of us was straddling the lane divider. Suddenly the orange brake light came on the dash and the car braked hard without any input from me. The braking was so hard it pushed me forward twice and caused my seat belt to lockup.

The local authorized Honda service center has failed to resolve this threat. Below is the mandatory timeline and documentation regarding this defect: [Date of Incident #1 – XXX]: While driving at approximately 35 MPH on a open road with no obstructions, the vehicle abruptly engaged heavy emergency braking without warning. This nearly caused myself to get into a severe rear-end collision. [In-person Service Visit #1 -XXX– Paramus, NJ]: On this date, I brought the car to Paramus Honda, and was advised that their service department “has never heard of any vehicle made by Honda, phantom breaking”. Upon my insistence that this happened and that experiencing such made me feel unsafe and nervous to drive the vehicle. The service department advised me to ensure that both the rear and front sensors on the vehicle were free and clear of any type of debris. I did so and have ensured to always be of the sensors moving forward. [Date of Incident #2 - XXX]: While driving at approximately 25 MPH on a clear road, with no obstructions, the vehicle abruptly engaged heavy emergency braking without warning. My two children, age [XXX] & [XXX] were in the vehicle at this time & again nearly caused a severe rear-end collision. Phone contact- Service Visit #2 - XXX. – Honda of Paramus, NJ]: On this date, I called Paramus Honda, and was advised again that their service department “has never heard of any vehicle made by Honda, phantom breaking.” * [Date of Incident #3: XXX]: While driving at approximately 35 MPH on a clear road with no obstructions, the vehicle abruptly engaged heavy emergency braking without warning. This CAUSED a severe rear-end collision with the three vehicles behind me to all crash into each other- with 7 of the 9 people that were in those vehicles, get hurt and require medical attention & ambulance transport. Two of those individuals were babies & my two children, age [XXX] & [XXX] were in my vehicle at this time. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Dashboard shows that there is a problem with the adaptive cruise control system, lane keeping assist system, road departure mitigation system, and automatic high beams. Message occurs intermittently, usually lasting a few seconds, and goes away. Can happen while driving or while parked. Usually occurs a handful or times per day. Seems to happen more frequently when engine bay is warmed up. This is a safety issue because it suddenly and unexpectedly disables the advanced driver assistance systems. For example, while driving on the highway, cruise control and lane keeping assistance will turn off suddenly, forcing the driver to intervene with all of these systems at once. This also has other implications, like automatic emergency braking not functioning correctly to help prevent an accident. Vehicle has been brought to various Honda dealers a total of three times. A case has been opened with American Honda Motor Co, but no solution to the problem has been found.

I purchased this vehicle at 0 miles in July 2025 from Honda Accord in Pensacola Florida. I reported in July 2025 that there was a noise and I was unhappy with the vehicle and would like to exchange the vehicle within the 30 days months later, the noise got louder, and I took it in to see what the problem was I was told there was no issue that this is the loud start noise when you first crank the car up I then proceed to advise them that there’s clicking under my steering wheel. I brought the vehicle back in to Honda of Pensacola they checked it and said that this was a steering box issue that had been a recall on most of the Honda Civic. I brought it back in and a tech looked at it, diagnosed it and said that it was a clock spring. They fix the clock spring and said that should fix the problem. Unfortunately, the north continue and got louder. I brought the vehicle back in and they said that they had to fix the steering box and that it was fixed and would not have any more issues. A month later, May 2026 the noise reappeared and I took it back to Honda. They are now saying they know that it is a safety issue it is diagnosed that it is the gear steering box once again, but there is no resolution to fix it. My car have been Nyos wrong three times and the issue is still not fixed. From the beginning, I was misled and told that they would have in place for me about exchanging the vehicle never happened never try to reach out or anything at this time I’m paying for a vehicle they have had thousands and thousands of dollars worth of work and no resolution to fix the main problems I am asking for help because I am a single mother thinking I’m getting reliable transportation and unfortunately I’m getting the short end of a stick with what seems to be a lemon for a vehicle I’m very unhappy and asking for help.

2025 Honda Accord Hybrid experiences a severe, loud knocking noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds. The dealership attempted to grease the components but the mechanical knock remains. This is a known EPS/steering rack defect on the 11th generation Accord and poses a steering failure/binding safety risk at highway speeds.

I was driving down the highway, and the dash started to flash a message about the vehicle being unsafe to drive, stop driving immediately, call dealer. I was able to stop and then turn left across traffic with limited power; and continued to make my way back to work thinking I could probably get to my parking lot. The dash continued to display warning lights, starting with brake failure, then parking brake failure, and then the whole series of possible failures. I continued to drive about one mile. I shut the power off an powered up twice thinking that might reset the sensors; but they continued to fail. As I continued to drive there was limited power to the throttle, and I eventually coasted through a red light and into my work parking lot where the vehicle shut down entirely, and eventually fully locked up (couldn't start or event put in neutral to push). I had the vehicle towed to back to the dealer, and they diagnosed the problem as a failed transmission cooler. Of note, I had purchased the vehicle brand new less than 3 weeks before this incident and the vehicle had less than 600 total miles on it. There were no prior signs of trouble or warning lights.

The right-hand-side rear seat belt buckle has been under the seat ever since the vehicle was purchased in November 2024. I did not notice it at first. Recently, when I started dropping my daughter off at school, I noticed it. I tried pulling the buckle up, but it's completely stuck under the seat. I asked a local mechanic to pull it out. He gave me an estimate of $1000 because it requires disassembling the seat to remove the buckle. Now, I avoid using the vehicle to drop off my daughter. When I have to use the vehicle, I use the left-side buckle with the right-side strap. This is completely the manufacturer's incompetence and neglect toward passenger safety.

The moonroof is available for immediate inspection. Rudolph Honda in El Paso, Texas, refused to inspect it despite the severity of the incident. The glass shattered directly above my head while driving, creating an extreme risk of a major crash, permanent eye injury, or even death. This is not an isolated event—there are numerous reported cases of this vehicle’s moonroof spontaneously breaking. A third‑party autoglass specialist contracted by the dealership inspected the damage and confirmed an internal failure. The vehicle provided no warnings, alerts, or signs of any kind before the failure occurred.

Around 20,000 miles my car began having faint metallic clanking/clicking sounds turning left and recoiling back to the left under 15 miles an hour and while parked. My lane mitigation, see dealer light turned on for 5 minutes while backing in to a spot then turned off. No issues steering just noise. Glad I am not deaf and I know better because it was a very easy and quiet noise to ignore or miss. My steering is fine now but does not steer as thin and smoothly as before— not like any Honda steering I’ve encountered or when I first bough the car. Feels more stiff now but very drivable on the highway Although repaired under warranty, there are hundreds of Facebook, Reddit, and even NHSTA complaints of steering rack issues for 11th gen accords that have fallen on deaf ears. I am fortunate to have my problem fixed in a relatively quick manner and helpful Honda staff. I am concerned because I hear people complaining this problem coming back after 4-10k miles later. This is a major safety issue in the principle of it all. It is ridiculous that Type Rs and Acuras can get recalled steering racks but not Accord hybrid owners, some waiting 0-5 years for a steering rack recall while owners having to change them out like clockwork on their own dime outside of 36/36k. This is costing people money in tire degradation that Honda doesn't cover, mental stress, and it tarnishes the name of Honda if they don’t actively work to fix their mistake. NHTSA should have a duty to put pressure on Honda to stop producing Accords, Pilots, Type Rs, Acuras, Odysseys, etc with steering racks that don't work. Email me if you want service records, its not letting me load them. Steering rack and gear replaced recheck fine. Clock reel was making noise, cable reel was replaced and no more noise. Front tires are at 4/32nds, backs are at 6/32nds— bought at same time with car. 4 wheel total alignment was done. I have video of the clicking sound.

The steering has been 'sticky' or 'notchy' since the vehicle was a few months old. With lane keeping off, driving in a straight line, when I perform a small steering input, it feels like the steering wheel is locked...when I push harder, it begins to act normally again. NHTSA recall 24V744 actually describes the symptom much better than I can. I have had the vehicle now 9 months and every time this happens, my heart skips a beat. I have complained to the dealer once, they burned half tank of fuel and told me 'its fine'. Next time I brought it for service, I complained again...because it is a safety issue...They said they would have to charge me to look at it...on a 9mo old vehicle. I'm scared to drive this vehicle because when will the steering completely fail and the car will crash?

Subject: Safety Complaint – Loss of Drive Power Prior to Recall Resulting in Crash (2025 Honda Accord Hybrid) I am submitting a safety complaint regarding a 2025 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid (VIN: [XXX]) involved in a crash on [XXX], which we believe is related to a recall issued later in January 2026. At the time of the incident, the vehicle was being driven under normal conditions, below the speed limit, on an empty road. The driver suddenly experienced a loss of control, the vehicle became unresponsive, veered out of its lane, and did not respond to steering correction. The vehicle ultimately collided with an electric pole and was declared a total loss. At the time of the crash, no recall or warning had been issued. We reported the incident to Honda on October 23, 2025 (Case #[XXX]), describing the loss of control and unresponsiveness. However, no mention was made of any potential defect or safety concern. In January 2026, we received a recall notice stating that if the ICM CPU resets while the vehicle is in operation, it may cause loss of drive power and increase the risk of a crash. This description closely matches what occurred during our accident. We also informed the dealership, Scott Honda (Vineland, NJ), but our concerns were not investigated. Instead, the dealership attempted to sell us another vehicle without addressing the safety issue. We believe the defect existed prior to the recall and may have directly contributed to the crash. We are also concerned that the manufacturer did not warn us despite our earlier complaint describing similar symptoms. This incident resulted in the total loss of our vehicle and ongoing financial hardship, as we have been without a replacement vehicle for over six months. We respectfully request that NHTSA investigate the timing of the recall, the manufacturer’s awareness of the defect, and how pre-recall complaints like ours were handled. We are willing to provide all supporting documents. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When I rotate my steering I hear a weird sound from the steering. It feels like steering rack issue. It happens during drive as well as when parked.

Around 6,000 miles I started noticing a weird sticking sensation in the steering wheel when making small corrections at highway speeds. It feels like the wheel catches on a point near center and needs a little extra force to push through. It's subtle but it's happened enough times to startle me while driving at highway speeds, which is genuinely scary. My dealer looked at it but said they couldn't reproduce the issue and wouldn't take action. On top of that, the Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS) has been really erratic. Instead of making smooth corrections to keep me in my lane, it jerks back and forth in a ping-pong pattern. I think it might be connected to the steering issue, but either way it makes highway driving feel unpredictable and unsafe. I'm filing this because both issues together make me uncomfortable driving this car at speed. A steering system that sticks and a lane assist that overcorrects is a bad combination, and I don't think it should be on a car with 6,000 miles on it.

Apple CarPlay frequently fails to function properly. While driving, the infotainment screen suddenly goes completely black and becomes unresponsive. The system does not recover until I stop the vehicle, turn off the engine, and restart the car. In addition, when starting the vehicle, CarPlay often does not initialize. I sometimes have to turn the vehicle off and restart it 10–20 times before CarPlay activates. This issue happens very frequently. If I use the vehicle 3–4 times in a single day, the problem occurs at least 2 times. This results in loss of navigation, phone connectivity, and display controls while driving. This creates a safety concern because I lose access to navigation and hands-free features while operating the vehicle.

After the recall software update for the hybrid system, my 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid experienced a significant loss in fuel economy (from approx. 44 MPG down to 33 MPG) and drastically reduced electric-only driving. The engine now runs much more frequently, even at low speeds and stoplights. This materially changed the vehicle’s advertised hybrid performance and efficiency. Many owners are reporting the same issue. This appears to be a software-induced degradation of vehicle performance following a mandatory recall update.

I am submitting this complaint to report an ongoing steering system issue that I believe may involve the Electric Power Steering (EPS) motor and could affect safe vehicle operation. The primary symptoms are (1) a clicking sound associated with steering while driving, and (2) a loud creaking sound when turning the steering wheel while stopped or at very low speed. The condition has persisted and has not been resolved after I brought the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer. The dealer acknowledged the problem, identified the EPS motor area as the source, and indicated Honda is aware of the issue but currently does not have an available fix. Because this issue is related to the steering system, I feel unsafe driving the vehicle and I am concerned that continued operation could lead to a loss of steering assist or another steering-related malfunction.

The vehicle at speed from 40mph and upwards has sticky steering issues that require potential overcorrection from the driver to maintain the vehicle on a straight path. When the driver attempts to make subtle in-lane corrections to keep the vehicle on a straight path, the driver is unable to make small adjustments without the steering making larger adjustments and having to over-correct (ex. if the driver wanted to move the steering wheel 0.5mm, the steering wheel only moves in 1mm increments). Additionally, on following curves that require the driver to adjust the steering wheel about 3-10 degrees in either direction, the steering wheel will stick and not naturally straighten out. The Honda Dealership of Chantilly, VA was able to replicate the issue and was not able to give any reason or develop a path to a solution for the owner to safely operate this Honda. There are also no warning lights or signals, I have also attempted most driving conditions (hot and cold temperatures, all speeds, and different highways), with and without driver assistance programs activated, heated steering wheel on and off, and different steering wheel adjustment positions to attempt to solve the issue at hand. These issues appeared shortly after purchase of the vehicle in late October 2025 and this issue happens on a daily basis. This steering issue presents as a safety issue due to the driver not being able to smoothly steer and having to over-correct for the steering malfunction. In any driving environment, the driver should expect to have a smooth driving experience to promote safety among all drivers on the roads. Additionally, this steering issue may be related to the already diagnosed issue of Honda gearboxes malfunctioning in previous model years. I have uploaded a service record from the Honda of Chantilly Dealership that includes the mileage and complaint from owner.

Increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Once the rear seat occupant buckles (if they buckle) the seat belt, a green check light will appear on the screen alerting the driver, and after will display a red light indicating when that occupant has unbuckled.
