This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Radio/audio causing a loud static un bearable noise that won-??t turn off even when Turing the radio off an volume all the way down. My concern here is it-??s very hard to focus on driving on the road when this occurs since I-??m not able to hear anything around me or able to receive phone calls or emergency calls since it is basically impossible to do anything at all until i completely stop somewhere an shut the car completely off. I think not being able to hear traffic around me for example someone honking or a police car, fire truck, ambulance is a real big Hazard. I see a lot of people online that are having the same issue so that-??s why I-??m here reporting this. I think it def should be reviewed as a hazard safety concern this type of thing can potential cause more trouble on the road for those who suffer from the same issue an other individuals on the road. I have a video of this issue but I am not able to upload it here if I can email the video that would be great.
Computer failed. Dashboard lights keep going on and off. Checked by a mechanic and confirmed Battery sensor failure. It-??s dangerous to drive the car when dashboard lights are on because it doesn-??t respond normally to speed paddle or brakes and engine shuts down suddenly.
On a daily or several days/wk basis, either 1) the "Navigation Screen" will freeze in displaying the map the driver is using OR 2) both the "Audio/Information Screen" & the "Navigation Screen" will go blank (displaying only a solid black screen). In problem #1, the driver is distracted & disrupted from continually viewing the road to first confirm whether the map image is frozen as suspected (e.g., pressing buttons). In both Problems #1 & #2, the driver is further distracted & disrupted from continually viewing the road in order to try to reset the system (e.g., pressing buttons, disconnecting & reconnecting a smartphone). Finally, in both Problems #1 & #2, if a soft reset is not successful, in order to regain navigational functionality, the driver must either a) if at a stop sign/light or b) pull off the roadway to (e.g., on to a shoulder) turn the vehicle off & on again to trigger a hard reset.

I bought my car, used, in November of 2018 and had to have the battery replaced the following month. That battery stopped working and had to be replaced April of 2020. The same battery is now leaking and needs to be replaced again, now. When I checked the recall list for the 2016 Accord, it shows the batteries are on there; however, when I use the VIN, reports shows it is good. Please review.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that for the past three months at start-up there was a grinding sound coming from the starter. The contact stated that occasionally the vehicle would not start or needed several attempts before the vehicle started. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic confirmed a failure with the starter and linked the failure to TSB: 16-002. The contact was concerned that he would be far away from his residence and not able to start the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.
My 2016 Honda Accord is failing start. I started my car is and it is making grinding noise and want start. I had this problem before and had to replace the starter in 2019. I have not warning on my dashboard when trying to start my car. I just want crank, replacing a starter every 2 years is unacceptable. I research this issue and this is an issue for ignition switch thousand of people is having the same issue.
2016 Honda Accord with about 40,000 miles. The instrument panel or display panel often locks after having iPhone connected and using AirPlay. Have to disconnect iPhone and at times even turn off car to reset the instrument panel display. This is a hassle and if using maps can be inconvenient while driving.
Air coming through vents is very low even if set a max air flow. I have a 2016 Honda Accord with 40,000 miles. For some time we noticed that air conditioner does not flow much air. It seems that ac blower is just too weak. My old 2003 Corolla has much more ac blower power. Something is wrong. I change the AC filter as needed and with frequency. Air is cold just not enough air coming through vents.
Infotainment system freezing freezes or goes blank while using iphone to navigate. Occurs with both google and apple maps. Resolving often requires waiting 10 plus minutes or turning car off and restarting it.
If the vehicle is not started and driven at least every second day. A no start condition results. Battery is new, the second one from Honda dealer. Crank/starter speed very lethargic, all conditions, remote start included. Purchased an after market start booster to resolve dead battery issue. Vehicle no longer under warranty.
For more than a year, my car has been having issues starting up. It rarely starts on the first attempt. It usually starts on the second attempt. There are times when it takes multiple attempts to start. I have planned on having the starter replaced when I have the timing belt replaced in a few months. However, today I discovered this site and realized many others have the same issue. Have there been resolutions for anyone" if so, what was the resolution"
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated at start-up he heard an abnormal noise coming from the engine.

If I have the car light on auto and turn off the car the engine still runs and it does not turn off until I turn of the auto switch for the headlights and the indicator comes on randomly and I don't feel safe in this car
!. car seat is unstable in back seat no matter where you place it. 2. I have 40,450 miles on my 2016 Accord sedan and have spent $300 already only for my A/C to not work. It keeps blowing the relay switch out. Now they're telling me I need a new clutch and it will be almost $1400; my display will change and my radio goes off, my doors may or may not lock/unlock. I believe it stems from the electrical problems with the battery recall (which I had repaired, but battery keeps corroding) leaking moisture into the engine.
Front right drl, part of the running light burned out, to replace the running light you must replace the entire headlight assembly which can be up to $1500 or more. Most people that purchase a Honda Accord cannot afford to repair something that burns out just like any other light for $1500. This is unacceptable, Honda motor co. Needs to recall and repair this mistake for free. This is ridiculous to have to replace the entire headlight assembly.
