2016 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

Backup camera stopped working. looks like many people have same issue with honda accords

The audio system in my car blares, often without notice, a loud static noise that makes my vehicle unsafe to drive. The only way to get the noise to turn off is to pull over and completely turn off the car, and sometimes that does not even work. This is a driving hazard and could also be damaging long-term to my hearing. I have contacted Honda who says they have no recalls associated with this issue, but there are NUMEROUS complaints from customers online.

Car is making loud static noise and other people are having the same exact problem. I called Honda they don’t know what’s wrong. This is so unsafe because wrecks can be cause do to this BIG ISSUE .

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. The vehicle failed to accelerate with the check engine warning light was flashing off and on. After turning off and restarting the vehicle the check engine warning light was flashing and remained with the traction control warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 80,000.

I have a 2016 Honda Accord and I am experiencing a very loud sound of static coming from the speakers and it has become unbearable. I can't turn the volume down or turn the radio off and when I try the noise is still there. I have been having to shut the engine off and sit with the car off in order for the noise to stop.

My 2016 Honda accord has a horrible static noise that happens randomly. The noise is deafening and cause a huge distraction while driving, not to mention you cannot hear any police or ambulance sirens approaching. The only fix is to pull over and try to restart your car and hope that the static noise isn't present upon restart. It is simply not safe to drive the vehicle while the issue is present

Very frequenly after idling for more that 5 minutes with the heat on before beginning to drive, the vehicle will create extremely loud and disorienting scratching static noise. This condition is recreated under a number of other conditions and is heavily reported and documented on various forms and youtube pages. Can be found by searching "2016 accord head unit static" This issue has been reported to honda and has not been recognized as a defect. They quote a repair cost to solve the issue with the defective head unit. The issues can only be stopped by pressing the power button on the head unit it self. Sometimes, frequent start and stops of the ignition can remedy the issue.

My 2016 Honda Accord has approximately 137,000 miles. I change the oil, filters, etc. at regular intervals. One night I noticed a ticking when going uphill. I thought it might be a belt.(no warning lights) The next day I had to go somewhere, and on my way back the ticking got noticeably worse and then the engine started screeching. Massive loss of power. Shortly after, a loud bang/thump noise and the car stopped running. I pulled into a school parking lot, got the car towed. Next day the mechanic where the car was towed said I threw a rod, and it went through the engine block and the oil pan; and my engine would have to be replaced. I have not (yet) replaced the engine (waiting for estimate). Spoke to Honda corporate (case #XXXX) to see if they could help me out (financially) with the replacement, because everyone I talked to said it's highly unusual for a Honda to throw a rod with mileage this low (anecdotal I know, but still). I spoke to local Honda dealer (Honda corporate said it would have to be inspected by Honda) but have not had it towed there yet.

As I am driving my speakers (all of them) will randomly sound like static and its very loud and obnoxious. Its disturbing and can be a huge hazard while driving. I have looked it up and it seems tons of people are having the same issues in their 2016 and 2017 honda accords. Seeing how common it seems to be online in these cars i do not think its fair for us to have to pay for this issue…

I'm getting an extremely loud static noise from my audio system, even when it's turned off. I've been experiencing this issue for the past year. It seems to be heat related (it's much worse when it's hot outside). I checked online and it looks like many Honda Accord owners are having the same problem (see https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/17-accord-radio-static.550224/). It's so loud that I can't hear anything outside of my vehicle, such as emergency vehicles. I'm surprised there hasn't been a recall for this issue.
