this car has lane keeping assistance but this is very bad, if you let the assistant assist you at 65mph for more than 5 seconds you probably die, because this assistance move you like ping pong from left side to right side. Also this has a very bad quality of steering rack after 30 days starts making noise and they fixed but the noise starts again. i was forced to trade in this car, ocean Honda of Burlingame hide reports they also hide from carfax they make services or replace parts but they only stated like tire rotation or driveability check tire pressure check be aware of this.
Spontaneous headlight cracking and chipping.
My new car Honda Accord purchased less than a month ago, had a front passenger sidewall fail while driving about 40 mph. No potholes, smooth road. The interior sidewall failed, leading to a flat tire, damaged rim and my low tire pressure gauge never went off. I replaced the damaged tire with the spare and after driving home, the tire gauge finally went off (8 miles later).
Unknown. I believe the seat belts in my car do not provide the restraint necessary for my safety. Toke car to Dealer, who provided a vague explanation in an effort to convince me that there is a special way of pulling the seat belt all the way out and wait until they click to ensure they engage. The vehicle manual doesn't state this requirement. Honda corporate would only advise me to take the car to another dealer or request the dealer i bought the car do a Diagnostic test. The dealer general requests that I request this service by text. I have requested the service to which there has been no answer,
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.
I was driving when a car pulled into a driveway. My car was not near this car and the brakes stopped very hard. At other times when the brakes should have stopped they did not. I had a major accident in Feburary and my safety features were on however the car did not stop when the other car turned into front of me causing total damage, broken thumb and torn ligament in my right hand.
This problem is more noticeable when you are in a highway, going at highway speeds. The vehicle pulls to the sides on the lane, like it is trying to correct you as if you were moving out of the lane. Sometimes when it moves to the right, and you correct it, then it moves to the left. We purchased this vehicle on [XXX] with 26 miles on it. By the time the vehicle had 90 miles on it, we knew it had to go to the dealer because what we were feeling was not normal. We took the vehicle to the dealer, and drove it with a technician who noticed the problem immediately. The vehicle stayed at the dealer overnight, and the following day the dealer contacted us to pick up the vehicle. They told us that they had checked the vehicle, and sent information to Honda that they asked for. Honda said all the parameters in the car were correct, and there was nothing to fix. We drove the vehicle with the technician again, and he told us that he had driven another new car from their inventory, and felt the same problem, not as bad but he felt it. We drove the car with him a second time us driving, and again he noticed it and pointed out when it was doing it, because he could feel it as a passenger. The technician told Honda that even though the vehicle met all the parameters, there was something wrong because he could feel it. We called Honda Directly and started a case on this matter. ( Case # [XXX]) The following week a Technician from Honda came to town, and the Dealer called us to take the car in so he could check it himself. They would not tell us what he found out, but they said that he was going to check with a facility they have in California to see if they had any information on this matter. Even though they did not confirm anything he obviously noticed the problem, if he had not what would be the point of looking further. A week later they asked for the car again, the problem is getting worse the car is unsafe to drive, and we are waiting on Honda. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
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.
