2024 Honda Accord HybridRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“The steering in my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid gets sticky. It resists movement making small adjustments, especially on the highway. It gets worse the longer that I drive but then goes away if I stop the car (like at a rest stop) but then reappears soon after. After my 2nd complaint to the dealership, the service manager states that he took it on a one hour drive and didn't experience the same issue. I called the dealership on 10/30/2025 stating that the problem seems to be getting worse. They said that they couldn't do anything unless they can recreate the issue, but could not offer me a loaner vehicle while they have my car. At times, knowing that the steering is electronically controlled, I fear that I will lose all steering when driving on the highway. This issue needs to be investigated to see if the recall that involved other VIN's of the same model needs to be expanded.”

“On October 12, 2026, my 2024 Honda Accord Sport-L Hybrid experienced a serious and potentially dangerous loss of propulsion while driving. Without warning, multiple warning lights and system malfunction messages appeared simultaneously on the dashboard. The vehicle then switched to electric-only (EV) operation, and the gasoline engine was no longer providing propulsion. I continued operating the vehicle using the remaining hybrid battery charge. As the battery charge decreased from approximately 1–2 bars to empty, the vehicle lost its ability to propel itself and eventually came to a rolling stop. After stopping, I turned the vehicle off and restarted it. The vehicle subsequently resumed normal operation, and most of the warning lights disappeared. However, the emissions system warning remained illuminated. After researching this incident, I discovered NHTSA Safety Recall 25V785000 (Honda Recall TN2), which affects certain 2023–2025 Honda Accord Hybrid vehicles. According to the recall, a software error involving the Integrated Control Module (ICM) may cause the system to reset while driving, resulting in a loss of drive power. The symptoms described in this…”
