2016 Honda Accord- The audio navigation unit creates loud screeching noise even when volume is turned down to 0, making the car impossible to drive. I had to remove the fuse to disable the unit which also resulted downing the car backup camera as the whole display unit went down. I placed order in July 2025 and got delivering of back order unit in Dec 2015 after 6 months of wait. Repeatedly, keep sending emails to Honda as its a security risk if I have to drive the car w/o a mandatory backup camera. But still replacement/ back order took 6 months. Total cost of replacement of new Audio Nav unit - $1700. Asking honda to reimburse since as per Honda internal notes which dealership shared/ Google its a common problem with Honda accord 2016-2017. Honda saying right now there is no safety recall as per NHTSA for this and wont support the claim. Reporting so that other drivers dont have to put themselves into risk due to this and bear the high cost of repairs, if NHTSA deems it fit.

Inoperable backup camera causing Rear Cross Traffic Warning and Parking Collision warning malfunction - due to a camera plastic mounting tab breakage issue. This puts the safety of other cars or people behind the vehicle at risk when backing up. There were no warnings of the failure - my wife discovered it when reversing one day and had a near miss.I looked at it and the backup camera is no longer in the proper position. The car only has 18K miles on it. I took it to the Honda dealer and their service team tells me one of the camera mounts is broken and it happens all the time. They tell me the Accord backup camera usage is extremely high due to mounting tabs breaking. I spoke with my local Honda garage and they told me they see this issue all the time. I called multiple Honda Dealer Parts Dept's across the country and they all tell me usage is very high and the cameras are on back order. There were four Technical Service Bulletins issued on this 2016 Accord to check for backup camera usage: MC-10187541-0001, MC-10189132-0001, MC-10189839-0001 & MC-10190945-0001 - in February through March 2021. The 2017+ Accords had been recalled by NHSTA for "inoperable" camera software as it was considered a safety issue in the past. Most recently (in 2023) Honda FIT and HR-V models were recalled by the NHSTA related to backup camera issues. The design of the backup camera was also changed as the part number for the replacement does not match the original & yet Honda is not retrofitting the new parts for owners. The Honda part numbers for the camera are as follows: Original in the car: 39530-T2A-A310-M2; First replacement for the original P/N 39530-T2A-A31; Current replacement (February 2023) P/N 39530-T2A-A410-M1 (Sony VCB-H3D8). I had my original backup camera replaced by my Honda dealer - the original part was kept by the dealer to be sent back to Honda of America (per the dealer). I did keep pictures of the old camera as well as the replacement.
LKAS WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE INCLUDED ON THIS PARTICULAR ACCORD EX-L sensing Model, When started in the early morning all safety lights turned on. The car just have a 66,731 miles on it.The car has never been on an a accident nor have any damage on the windshield or the front of the car. Immediately took it to the dealer close to me on June 28, 2022 they told me it was not covered by the warranty, I was charged for diagnostics $180 and for repairs was going to cost me $1,698.36 at the time Iwas on the impression it was under extended warranty paid in advance until 100K miles. I paid for safety features that broke on their own due to manufacturing failure issues.
My clock and rear view camera stopped working at the same time. Everything else still works.
The ADAS features of my vehicle have been intermittently functional due to a single camera component failing. This has cause unpredictable braking behavior when the car is driven, as the car's emergency braking function abruptly slow the vehicle on some occasions, but not brake the vehicle on other outings. Additionally, the component failure has caused several dependent MILs to illuminate most times the vehicle is driven, usurping other important MIL notifications such as unrelated component failures and maintenance alerts. The ADAS MIL alerts were not present before the component failure. These issues first started 15 months ago, but I've been informed that the necessary replacement component (multipurpose camera) has been backordered the entire time.
