What owners say about the electrical system
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“I became the 2nd owner of this car. My ownership had been a blessing because of the 1st owner having such a profound history of care and maintained. I randomly had a misfire in my cylinder 2. I took my car to EL Cerrito Honda in El Cerrito, Ca. After my car came from this dealership all kinds of different things begun to take place. Ive never put cameras or listening devices of any sort, nothing that was not made with my car should have been added or changed to its original make. The PCM/ECM was reset by the HDS system which has played a part in the illegal malfunctions of its systems. I have been robbed, Followed and watched from inside my car which i HAVE NEVER given anyone consent to have access to my private life. This has been 9 months of my car misfiring, Capital City Honda in Sacamento,Ca had done the same repair and did not sign the release of liability that El Cerrito Honda issued for the return of my 275.00$ diagnoses but the 571.00 paid for the work done they kept. The Bureau Of Automotive Repair told me to contact The NHTSA for the complaint against Honda Motors for Laws/Regulations. My car has become a safety liability to myself and other drivers…”

“Electrical component malfunctioning Knock Sensor: code error: p0325 I noticed my check engine light had came on but wasn't on for long and had turned off on the dash. A few weeks later the check engine light reappeared and did not go back off. Upon this happening I noticed a major difference in my vehicle performance. The fuel consumption had significantly increased, I recognized these shake like vibrations when sitting in park or at a complete stop. A "knocking noise" I would hear coming from the engine, as well as rough idling almost as if there was a "stalling/hesitant" idling that sounded very off. Adding a very noticeable reduced power from the engine that was not there when the check engine light was not on. This has been a confirmed malfunction and should be replaced due to the importance the knock sensor provides to the engine of this vehicle. This was confirmed by an employee at a parts store, with there computer code reader. Upon request for inspection; I have open availability. Confirmed: March 4, 2025 The additional code provided also stated the catalytic converter is recommended to be replaced as well. Engine related systems that power the vehicle…”
“I have problems with my Knox sensor on the dashboard of my car. It refuses to accept my Cataylic converter as part of my car and I have taken it to many repair shops to get fixed and it just keep messing up.”
“FIRST OF ALL I'M REALLY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THE A PCM - ECM POWER RELAY. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. BASICALLY WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IF I HAVE THE HEAT ON THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP. IF I FLASH MY HIGH BEAMS THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF (WHILE AT A STOP). FINALLY I TOOK MY CAR TO A FRIEND AND THEIR AUTO LINK TESTER READ P0685-ECM- PCM. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID AND HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE AGENT THERE INFORM ME THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. NOW FOR 2 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWN FOR OVER 10 YEARS, AND EVERY NOW AND THEN IT TURNS OFF ON ME WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN AND SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW DOWN. THERE HAS BEEN 2 TIMES THAT I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. FOR YEARS I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED HONDA ACCORD BUT WITH THEM NOT OWNING UP TO THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH THEIR VEHICLES AS FAR A SAFETY ISSUE I MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK INTO PURCHASING ANOTHER MAKE AND MODEL WHEN I PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE MODEL OF ACCORDS SO PEOPLE CAN THEIR VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP…”
