2016 Honda Accord

The speakers will suddenly blast an extremely loud static noise, even when the radio is turned off. The only way to stop it is to pull over and turn the vehicle off. Eventually, the problem became so severe that even after turning the car off and restarting it, the speakers would continue blasting the static noise. The sound is so loud that it makes it difficult to think clearly and creates a serious distraction while driving, posing a significant safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a static sound coming from the radio while the radio was on or off. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the dealer was contacted about the failure, and the vehicle was waiting to be diagnosed. The failure was a recurring failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

Static noise comes from all speakers even when the audio is switched off. The intensity or volume of the noise is so high that the driver or passengers inside the car can't hear any sound coming from the engine or outside. How it impacts safety--it distracts the driver; both passengers and driver feel they will lose their hearing ability. It feels like ear drum will break. Yes, I took my car to a Honda dealer for inspection; they confirmed the static noise. They recommended me to replace the current infotainment system with a new one --the total cost would be around $1,500.

My Accord sputters and feels like the engine is choking at low RPM (between 1k & 2k), I started a 3-hour daily commute in the Los Angeles freeway traffic last March. That's when the problem became very prominent. I realized that there's a 2016 Honda Accord recall issued on 1/28/2019 on its fuel system and fuel pump. However, for some reason, when I entered my VIN, it showed zero recalled items. My fear is that on one of these daily commutes, my Accord is going to stop in traffic on the freeway and an eighteen wheeler will hit me from behind and I'll be a goner! I look behind the mirror every time my car sputters... Not a very good feeling at all. Can you please help? Sincerely, [XXX] Owner of the 2016 Honda Accord INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am temporarily at [XXX]. The brake light on the dash will pop up in orange while driving and the steering wheel will turn from left to right at certain times while driving. I am not too close to another vehicle. The air bag indicator light flashes at times. The driver car seat will move forward when I unlock the vehicle at times. The trunk pops open at times after having been securely shut. I have had some work done on it at Lucas Tire and Automotive in Brewton, Al. I have had personal property and money stolen out of it as well as paperwork containing personal information/financial information stolen. It’s created substantial loss from me.

On May 19, 2026, I was on the highway driving home and without warning my dash lit up with at least 5 warning lights scaring me to death so that I swerved a bit. I stopped on the shoulder and composed myself. I drove slowly home, thankfully I was not far from home. Took the car next morning to the mechanic and was told that the high pressure fuel pump needed replacement. it cost me $1800 which I had no choice because the car was a hazard to drive anywhere. I have recently learned that there was a recall for my 2016 Honda Accord regarding the fuel pump. I never received any notice whatsoever in regards to this potentially serious road hazard otherwise I would have taken my car for service at a Honda dealership. I would like for Honda to reimburse me for this money that I could not afford to replace the failing fuel pump. My car's mileage is only 65k miles give or take. Thank you kindly.

I am reporting a fuel pump module failure that has caused several drivability and safety concerns with my vehicle. Prior to the failure, the vehicle experienced intermittent difficulty starting, extended cranking before the engine would start, and occasional hesitation during acceleration. At times, the engine would lose power unexpectedly while driving, causing reduced performance and creating a potential safety hazard in traffic. The vehicle also experienced rough idling, sputtering, and instances where the engine stalled without warning. In some situations, the vehicle failed to start altogether despite having sufficient fuel in the tank. These symptoms became progressively worse over time and are consistent with a failing fuel pump module. Due to these issues, the vehicle became unreliable for daily transportation and posed a risk of sudden loss of power while operating on public roads. I am requesting that this failure be covered under the applicable fuel pump recall and that any related repairs and expenses be reimbursed or covered accordingly.
