    I recently came up with 121-11 is a VSA/ABS Solenoid issue. This was provided by Honda Technician. Dealer wants me to change the whole module causing a cost over $3,000. Yet, Honda does not offer any repairs of the solenoid. Honda's are particularly prone to this type of fault. While we do our part and maintain the car with great care, it is unacceptable and unsafe that Honda will not be addressing this.

    There has been a problem going on with my 2016 Honda Accord Touring and it’s unbelievably terrible it has something to do with the sound system in the car and it can’t be stopped even if you try to power off the Radio it still occurs and it’s an on going problem until the vehicle is powered off, basically it’s a static noise that comes through all speakers that starts off not too loud then it gets really loud! To where you can’t even hear the person in the passenger seat and it is so bad it can possibly cause hearing damage and also to mention you can’t hear any sirens of like an ambulance for instance it happened to me other day where an ambulance was behind me and I didn’t hear it because of the horrible static sound coming from the speakers I found out the ambulance was behind me because of the cars in front of me pulling over to the side of the road and also I have little cousins and I would to go on trips with them but it worries me I can hurt their ears and they might start to panic to how bad the sound is.

    Battery Management Sensor recall came out in 2017. My vehicle was taken in and they inspected it but did not change the part. In 2018 I took it in a they claim to have switched the sensor out. Fast forward to the years ahead, I have continued to have issues with my battery. I took my car in last week on Thursday. Turns out the battery management sensor is the culprit. Honda claims the recall no longer applies as this was a recall in 2017 and it had been repaired.

    I have the same problem with my 2016 Honda accord. Loud Static noise is driving me nuts. I took mine to my local Honda dealer and they said that they need to change the whole GPS radio worth $1400. They charged me $86 for diagnostics only and did not bother even unplugging the radio for the meantime while there is no head unit available. I am not happy. I really believe Honda should recall these units. The volume from the radio is at zero and the noise is too much that’s not even safe to drive.

    Uncontrollably loud static noise coming from speakers, even when the head unit is turned off. This noise gets so loud, it becomes a safety issue and a distraction while driving. This noise cannot be turned down or off.

    My 2016 Honda Accord with 2.4 engine failed due to rod bearing failing at 100K mileage. Knocking from engine bay is what brought my attention to it and from there i brought it into mechanic. I change oil religiously at 5K intervals. I own 4 different accords and never seen this happen before.

    The audio system in these car is failing for multiple owners. Complaint was filed with Honda and all they do is to turn their back on the customers and not acknowledge the issue. You have the complete engine noise amplified through the speakers of the car if you don't stop the car you can easily get your hearing impaired(My wife and I are health care professionals) The issue: Atrocious noise( intermitting ,cycling engine noise amplified through speakers even when the radio is turned off). The vehicle has been inspected by certified mechanics and audio specialists and have been unable to pin point the issue(The car amplifier is currently disconnected on our car) There no sign or message on the car that would alert you that is anything wrong. Symptoms first appear on April of 2024. We did not know where to complaint about this. We read on a forum of more complaints being filed, so we decided to file ours.

    Based on extensive research and the replacement of the factory amplifier, I’m assuming that the component that’s failing is the head unit for the radio. It unpredictably makes this loud static noise come out the speakers that cannot be turned down or off even when the audio power is off. This is a risk to my and other drivers’ safety due to the volume of this noise and the fact I cannot do anything to stop it while driving. The only solution is to pull over and turn the car off. The static noise is so loud that I can’t even hear a horn honking at me and can barely hear emergency vehicles. The problem is hard to reproduce as the static happens unpredictably but I’ve taken it to an audio repair shop and we were able to produce the static noise after about 10 minutes of music playing. This component has apparently been complained about by many people having the same issue as me yet Honda is not recalling or owning up to this failure. I have yet to take it to a Honda dealership to have it inspected but from other’s experience they’ve mentioned that the technicians said nothing can be done but replacing the entire head unit for about $1000. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. This problem first appeared about 6 months ago. I don’t understand why so many people are having this issue yet the part has not been recalled yet. PLEASE recall the head unit of 2016-2017 honda accords.
