My car is 4.5 years old with 44,000 miles and the back up camera has started acting strange. The lighting is very dim with lines through the picture appearing like the circuitry is dialing. This is very soon for such a new car and Honda should be responsible

The rear camera started off by being fuzzy two days ago; now, the camera is black. I noted that there was a recall for 2018 sedans, but the 2016 cars need to be checked as well. This is a safety hazard. The grid lines are available but with no image of the area. The camera is clean, so it is not about dirt.
The trunk light activation switch was designed and placed where it is susceptible to damage though normal opening and closing of the trunk lid. Trunk. This allows the switch to become inoperative with the simple act of opening and closing the trunk multiple times. The car is obviously stationary. This does create a safety and visibility issue for anyone retrieving or placing items in the trunk. It also creates a safety issue when one may have to change a spare tire at night. Without an external lighting device, one must ' feel' their way to retrieve the spare tire and tools needed to change the spare tire.this issue has been described by multiple owners on social media sites and the Honda. Accord owners site. Honda will repair but it is expensive and the issue with the switch will happen again under normal use.
Driver side door has rattling noise when driving over 70 mph and passenger side door has rattling noise when going over small bumps and dips in road going at least 25. It may be the windows while driving at higher speeds.
Rearview camera stopped working after warranty and needs replaced. Since the cost to replace is so high, I will just have to do without the camera. There was no damage to the camera. Its defective.
Car shook every light came on lost brakes and burst into flames. I used emergency brake to stop vehicle. I was on ramp to expresseaylie on long island. Thankfully was right near shoulder and not going to fast other wise I wouldn't have been able to control car and may have hit another car tree or wall. Car was melted and fire dept came and put it out.
I was backing out of my driveway when the car seemed to speed up even though I was not pressing the gas. I struck my neighbors wall across the street, but not very hard. At that point I heard a roar. I didn't understand what it was at the time, but now I recognize it as the sound a car make if your pressing the gas with the car in park or neutral. I decided to pull back into my driveway to assesss the damage to my car. When I put the car in drive it roared forward. I pressed the brake as hard as I could but the car could not be stopped it crashed into the brick wall of my garage. The airbag deployed and I suffered cuts and bruises. My car was totaled.
Radio display went blank after 2.5 years unable to see radio clock a D back up camera or phone information when bluetooth is connected system stopped working when I was driving on the highway in December. Occasionally when driving I see green blue red lines go across the display screen. Is there a recall?
I made a complaint before not exactly sure of the date but it was in 2016. My complaint was my car almost stalls out. When I am stopped and start up again or make a turn the car feels like it is going to stall and I'm not the only one who told me that. My brother and sister-in-law drove my car and it happen to them. I've almost gotten hit in the rear end a few times because my car doesn't pick up. The last time a rep from Honda told me to take the car into the Honda dealer to check out the engine but the mechanic he only drove the car around the lot and said everything was ok but it doesn't happen every time and I told him that. I'm concerned that I will get eventually get rear ended and hurt. Most recent it happened again so that's why I'm complaining. So, please tell me what to do. Thank you
Both my Accord daytime running lights burned out after 30,000 miles. It is apparently not fixable so to fix this would be a whole new headlight ? every Accord I see on the road now has the drls burned out.. really annoying and a safety hazard as almost all newer vehicles come standard with them and not burned out already.. and coincidentally around the time the warranty runs out. Very disappointing please recall asap. Thanks
While on a trip driving on an interstate at 72 mph, in busy traffic, with cruise control on, the engine stalled. I rolled to a stop on the shoulder, and the car didn't restart. Engine lights came on, but all electronics (radio, computer screens) were working. Honda towed (under warranty) to their nearest dealership. After checking out the car, and telling me it restarted and displayed no diagnostic codes, I was sent on my way. I was told it was safe to drive as there was no problem. Still on a trip, and about 500 miles later, I was again on the interstate passing a group of semi's on about a 5% grade, with cars in front of and behind me, when the engine stalled again. This time was much scarier as I was in the passing lane, and the right shoulder was blocked by a long string of semi's. it was dangerous trying to get to the right shoulder as there were cars in front of and behind me also. I was traveling at 78 mph with cruise control on when this happened. The car restarted this time, and with it being a weekend and the service department closed, I continued home the final 550 miles (in the right lane) without incident. This was the 3rd time the engine has stalled. The first was when I was in heavy traffic on the interstate, in stop and go traffic. The temperature was 109, and at the time (car had about 10,000 miles on it) I attributed it to the temperature even though the car didn't overheat. It restarted immediately this car is the 6 speed (manual), 6 cylinder, coupe model.
My collision avoidance system completely failed today. Turn signals will not work. Every avoidance system is non-functional. Very unhappy with this new car feature! car was in motion on neighborhood street.
