In May 2023, a local Honda dealership confirmed a VSA Solenoid Malfunction in my 2016 Honda Accord Sport. All ABS, steering, traction, and brake lights are on in the car. Part is currently on backorder - due to timing, the warranty is expired (2k miles over coverage) and no longer covers issues like this. Don't feel safe driving car while lights are on.

I found previous complaints with the same issue so I used their words and added/deleted a bit more: 2016 Honda Accord. 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. Audio main head unit (Honda p/n 39171-T2F-A71) produces loud static from radio speakers. The noise becomes extremely loud. The loud static continues even if the audio system power is turned off. The noise is so loud it is disorienting. The only way to stop the noise is to pull off the road and turn off the engine. The loudness of the static puts the safety of the driver at risk. The problem is intermittent and cannot be reproduced on demand. I provided the mechanic with an audio/video tape of the problem. He told me to contact American Honda about -??Goodwill-?? help provided by them. There are no warning lamps or messages prior to audio main malfunction. My problem first appeared in July 2023. The car is not driveable when the static occurs. Since I cannot drive the car with the loud static, i will have to rent a vehicle. I will report it to American Honda Motor Customer Care on July 18, 2023 to Advised that this problem is a SAFETY issue and is very expensive at $3,500.

Audio main head unit (Honda p/n 39171-T2F-A71) produces loud static from radio speakers. The noise becomes extremely loud. The loud static continues even if the audio system power is turned off. The noise is so loud it is disorienting. The only way to stop the noise is to pull off the road and turn off the engine. The loudness of the static puts the safety of the driver at risk. The problem is intermittent and cannot be reproduced on demand. I provided the Honda dealer with an audio/video tape of the problem. This tape was used by the service department to diagnose the problem. I paid $170 for the diagnostic test. Vehicle was inspected by the Honda dealer. Honda dealer advises the part is on backorder. Tentative availability is April 10, 2023. Vehicle was inspected by two independent auto stereo businesses. They were unable to repair because OEM wire harness is needed. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to audio main malfunction. The problem first appeared in November 2022. The car is not driveable when the static occurs. Since I cannot drive the car with the loud static, I paid the Honda dealer $85 to disconnect the audio main head unit. There is no static, but there is no radio, backup camera, bluetooth functions, etc. The problem was reported to American Honda Motor Customer Care on February 17, 2023. Assigned Case No. 13663941. Requested ETA of backorderd audio main head unit. Advised that this problem was a SAFETY issue. I received a call from American Honda Motor Customer Care on February 20,2023. They have documented the problem and closed the case.

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.

My car started making a piercing static noise that is so loud and you can-??t do anything to turn it down and it is very hard to drive and concentrate with this noise. I have seen other cars recalled for this issue but they are the larger cars. My car has the same issue but they will do nothing for me.

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.

My backup camera stopped working when I took my car to the dealership to get an exterior replacement part. It worked fine when I dropped it off. Now the screen is completely black when you are in reverse but you can still see the backup camera lines. The dealership is trying to charge me $140 to even look at it. Somebody posted this exact complaint in July 2020. They stated that the camera housing might be letting condensation and water inside, causing it to short out. There are two additional complaints with the same issue from March 2020, one in February 2020, and one in January 2020. This is clearly a manufacturer issue that needs to be investigated.

Past incident resulted only in some scratches. We checked with dealer for other reports and was told there had been none. All three times the brake had been applied because we were attempting to park the car
