2017 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

Goodyear Assurance DOT M63RLF1R1717 M+S 215/55R17 Complete Tread separation on freeway causing blowout

On Thursday July 14, while driving on HWY 278, the car had a sudden failure and starting decelerating. It almost got me and my daughter who was riding with me at the time killed. Only the grace of God protected us!!! I managed to get the car to the Honda dealer (DCH Academy Honda #708, Old Bridge, NJ). They informed me that the fuel pump failed and needed to change. The problem appeared all of a sudden and there was no warning at all. The car is being maintained regularly. This seems to be a manufacturing problem in the fuel pump for Honda Accord 2017 and it needs to be addressed. Again this almost got me killed!!!!!!

Driving and my Honda Accord lost all power. Dashboard red lights came on- battery and engine lights. Within in seconds it just stopped. Took it to Twin City Honda in Port Arthur, texas. They said I needed a new engine- and I got one.5 days later it would not start again in the driveway, Twin City Honda said it was my starter- had that replaced.

Backup camera is not working properly. Camera is foggy and not producing a clear picture. Yes this problem has been confirmed by a Honda dealer. The rear camera had to be replaced and was replaced by the dealer. The cost to repair was 580.000 and not covered under any warranty's.

The rear camera system/speaker periodically gives a screeching static sound which was so unbearable until Team Honda (Lafayette, LA) had to disconnect the entire system. I researched this issue and conclude it must be a factory defect because 1) due to the low mileage and infrequent usage of this vehicle 2) the commonalities among other 2017 Honda Accord Drivers with the same issues who are from different regions, and because the speaker works when I plug in my iphone. Team Honda wants me to pay $1200 to install a new one because the original factory system is out of warranty. Should the manufacturer be liable for any parts of this system ? Should I have to pay the cost for a defective vehicle and jeopardize my safety and be left without a radio for safety information, camera, and a GPS? This is not my first Honda and had no issues with the previous one which is another reason why I know this is not human error. Can you please investigate this and share with me your findings. I paid $99 for them to disconnect my audio visual system on my car and received no explanation about the error. Thanks.

The car is stalling on the highway out of nowhere. Car won’t start back up for about 20 minutes. Car completely shuts off during traffic. Almost caused a big wreck with an 18 wheeler because I was unable to move the car out the middle lane because it shut off. Causing false codes to pop up. Very dangerous situation with my three small children in the car.

Had a strong smell of gasoline coming from engine compartment. Took to dealership, they reported I had a ruptured fuel line. Took 1 1/2 months to get new fuel line. Honda would not take responsibility for poorly manufactured part. Got car repaired, cost $500 and on my way. My question is, will the new fuel line have the same problem? Very dangerous to catch fire. A lot disappointed in Honda for the treatment I got. The car only had 24,000 miles on it. Thank you!

While arriving home today, I left my car running as I carried in groceries. When I came back to get some groceries I started smelling plastic burning. I then see smoke coming out from under my hood. I turn off my vehicle I pop open my hood and I Discover that the fan on the driver side is melted into my radiator. There are two fans in the front of the Honda accord. The fan on the passenger side is Fine however, the Driver side fan is completely melted. This was clearly a fire hazard where this car could’ve been on fire. I was fortunate enough to be home and not having my child in my vehicle. I called Honda to see if it was covered under warranty and they stated no. I did ask that this be reported if anyone else had this issue just for the fact it’s a safety issue

The backup camera on this vehicle stopped working during the summer of 2021 with fewer than 15,000 miles on the vehicle. The failure of the camera was noted on an invoice for an oil change dated July 1, 2021, which I have retained should you want it. At the time, I learned that about 600,000 Hondas from the next two model years had been recalled because of a defect with the backup camera. Attempts to obtain informal accommodation from Honda proved useless, and I ultimately decided to have the camera replaced at a cost of over $550. The service tech verified that the original camera was not working before having it replaced. The invoice is attached and I have retained the original camera should you wish to inspect it.

There is a recall for 2018 model Honda Accords. NHTSA Recall 18V-629 This specific complaint is for 2013-2017 models as well. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111 - Rear visibility. Due to a software error, the center display assembly that normally displays the rearview image may not provide the rearview image when the vehicle is reversing. Failure to display the rearview image may reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Based on my research the same software bug is affecting the earlier models as well As of today 5/3/2022 there is a youtube video titled "2013 2017 honda accord backup not working" 17,512 views Posted Dec 19, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omSIamlD2ok Due to the unique nature of this issue the view count of this video is significant.
