2024 Honda Accord

On 11/19/2025, while operating my 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid, I experienced a sudden and total loss of power while the vehicle was in motion. Despite pressing the accelerator, the vehicle failed to respond. I noticed the 'READY' indicator disappeared on the dashboard, signifying a powertrain system shutdown. This caused me to lose control of the vehicle's speed and positioning, resulting in a collision. I believe this incident is a direct result of the defective Integrated Control Module (ICM) software identified in NHTSA Recall 25V-785 (Manufacturer Recall TN2), which causes the CPU to reset and cut drive power during operation.

Steering rack makes a clicking/popping noise when turning the wheel. This began around 32,000 miles.There were no warning lights or messages when this issue began. It was not suspected to be as serious as thought. When taken to the dealership, service department stated that steering rack needs replacing, for around $5,000. This steering issue could cause the loss of power steering putting driver and passengers and others on the road in danger.

The contact owned a 2024 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, black smoke was seen coming from under the hood, and the entertainment center screen would flicker. A message "See dealer" was displayed. In addition, the contact managed to safely exit the vehicle, and a fire had started under the hood. The local fire department arrived on scene to extinguish the fire. The local fire department deems the source of the fire to be a battery failure. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was sought. In addition, the contact stated that prior to the failure, the battery was replaced at a local authorized dealer. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed away by the Honda manufacturer, where it was taken by the insurance provider, which deemed it a total loss. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,026.

In Feb. 2026, I had a software recall service performed on my Honda Accord. Later that same day, a persistent error message appeared on my dash: Software Update Not Available See Dealer. I contacted the dealer and they said sometimes that error message clears on its own and to wait and see. A few days later as I was leaving work, I turned my car on, put it in reverse and realized I had no propulsion or power steering. I put the car back in park and restarted it and drove it straight to the dealer where it sat for about three weeks as they tried to clear the error message. They were not able to reproduce the issue I reported with my car being on but without power. I picked up the car on 3/16/26. After leaving the dealership, it began sputtering and lurching. I could see on the powertrain display that the car was not communicating well between the engine and hybrid battery. I pulled into a parking lot and put the car in park and it began functioning normally. I called the dealer and they said to bring it back if that happened again. It has not. Tonight, I was pulling up to a red light when my car suddenly slammed on the brakes and displayed Lane Departure Mitigation Off. I attempted to restore that safety feature and realized my car had lost power. It did restore power and I was able to drive home, but I am terrified of my car since it engaged the braking system for no reason and disabled a safety feature plus losing power. During my car's time in the service department, it got a new CAN gateway module and telematics unit along with repeated attempts to make the software update glitch free to eliminate the persistent warning messages that had been displaying. Honda tech support was involved, and I have contacted Honda corporate with my concerns about the safety of my car but am waiting for a response. My perspective is the software recall update ruined my perfectly good car and I am worried I am going to lose power and get injured or worse.

Hankook Kinergy GT - 225/50R17 94V Original Equipment (OE) on 2024 Honda Accord EX/L During regular and routine service by the dealer, tires were rotated every six months. Abnormal wear was noted at 5,800 miles with original 10/32" tread depth down to 7/32" on two tires. At 17,100 miles (18 months), abnormal inside edge wear was noted by the dealer and an alignment performed. A "Caution" was noted on the Multi-Point Inspection for both rear tires at this time. We started noticing a vibration and sound seemingly coming from the right rear tire associated with tire rotational speed while on a long road trip. A Honda dealer (Fargo, ND) did a cursory inspection and declared the tires in need of replacement due to tire wear. Upon inspection at 23,976 miles (25 months), our home dealer identified tire separation on the right rear noted cords were starting to show. The service document states: "The rear tires inside treads are starting to show cords and separate. I found that the right rear tire's inside tread was worn down to the cords in spots and that the tire is starting to separate. The front and left rear tires are not as bad, but it is close to being in the same condition that the right rear tire is in. I recommend that the customer get a set of 4 new tires and after installing the tires, performing an alignment." Note: This car has never been driven on particularly rough or potholed roads.

When driving at highway speeds for periods of time generally exceeding one hour, it seems to become more difficult to turn the steering wheel. Also, when I am reversing at a very low speed to park or exit a parking space, I can hear a creaking noise coming from the steering wheel. A tapping is also felt through the steering wheel. The steering rack was replaced under warranty at ~8,000 miles but the issue returned shortly after.

The drivers side door on my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L sounds hollow when closing the door, the other three doors do not sound that way. I took it to the Honda dealership and compared it to another Honda Hybrid 2024 model and the door also sounded this way, when closing. Makes the car feel and sound cheaply made. This seems like a defect that Honda should repair. Apparently they left out some insulation on the inside of these doors.

Was driving 35mph speed limit in my town of Nashville NC, lost acceleration with cars clearly behind me, car stalled was enough speed to turn into a parking area and car will not re start due to high voltage battery going out on me while driving.car has 29,504 miles this battery should be replaced under warranty but service center is blaming me for it so they won’t honor warranty??? 5100 in repair bill they want me to pay out of pocket

My safety is currently being put at risk by Honda due to my EPS Motor/Rack assembly being faulty. I have taken it into the local Honda dealership who has confirmed this in their paperwork. I have reported it to Honda and have been told no fix will be performed at this time. While my steering rack is becoming louder each day and thudding under my driver side floor panel. A failed steering rack can affect steering causing an accident or worse.

On February 15 Sunday night my 2024 Accord was broken in by thieves. Honda’s door lock system was so easy that robbers were able to hack it and open the driver door easily. After which steering wheel airbag was stolen. There was another Honda Accord 2025 model also parked which belong to my family member, was also hit by same thieves and was a victim of door brake in and steering wheel airbag stolen. I would like to file complaint against Honda’s week security system which allowed the thieves to easily brake into our Vehicles. Upon checking the internet I came across videos of how easy it is to steel the airbags since it only requires 2 small flathead screw drivers to unlatch the steering wheel air bag. During my conversation with police who files my report mentioned that “ honda is being hit with these cases a-lot and honda vehicles can easily be started with wifi system”. I spoke to the service advisor at Honda who is fixing my car about this issue, he responded saying “ there is nothing we can do. The best thing you can do is put steering wheel lock bar on it”. At this point I don’t feel safe having Honda vehicle at all. What can prevent them from not breaking to my car again after being fixed? At this point it is a high risk for me for constantly paying insurance deductibles and chances of insurance premiums increments and worst of all a constant stress every night of being hit again.
