Steering
20 reports
“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.”
Electrical system
15 reports1 related recall
“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…”
Service brakes

“Component/System: Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) or related software. Vehicle available for inspection. Safety Risk: Vehicle brakes or decelerates unexpectedly during normal driving, risking rear-end collisions. Most recent incident on August 23, 2025, required override by pressing accelerator and shifting to neutral in traffic. Reproduction: Dealer could not replicate issue during May 16, 2025 visit. No diagnostic codes found. Radar and braking systems reported as “operating normally.” A second evaluation occurred after September 5, 2025, with no resolution; issue persists. Inspection: Inspected by Honda dealership twice—on May 16, 2025 (Invoice #488382) and again after September 5, 2025. No third-party inspections. Symptoms: Braking occurs in Sport, Normal, and Econ modes. Happens when accelerating from stop or easing off accelerator. Brake light activates falsely. No warning lamps or messages prior to failure. Issue has occurred 10+ times over the past year. Related Software Issues: Radio failure (resolved via software update). Clock shows incorrect time. Apple CarPlay fails to connect until restart. Navigation compass shows concentric circles.”
Fuel/propulsion system
13 reports
“Vehicle shakes roughly and vibrations on this 2024 Honda Accord hybrid when transitioning from electric to gas motor at idle. This occurs sporadically but generally when idling in traffic or a drive thru etc. The electric motor is working in this idle stage, but when the heater or AC is on and you are idling for a period of time, it will kick on the gas motor causing shaking of the vehicle. This occurs mainly when the gas motor is kicking on from idle and sometimes when it shuts itself back off again. This problem was reported to selling dealer Smail Honda at a service appointment on 6/9/25. Tech did not find the problem and left these notes: "Scanned computer for faults and none present. Vehicle operating as designed." In my opinion, the vehicle is not operating as designed and this could be a possible safety issue so I'm filing this incident with NHTSA.”
Engine
11 reports1 fire
“Wiring harness failed randomly at 42,000 with no damage to the harness, engine, or vehicle itself. Without the wiring harness the engine does not run properly and shakes violently, causing the car to lose power. This happened with no prior warnings, problems, or damage. Additionally the steering rack seems “loose” and changes direction quite quickly when hitting a pothole or uneven roads even at lower speeds. I have to make sure I constantly have a firm grip on the wheel so no sudden unexpected direction changes occur due to imperfections in the road.”
Power train
7 reports
“Car went into a power on-power off sequence after leaving from a stop sign. After 4 or 5 of these on-off sequences it acted normally and hasn't repeated. There was minimal traffic at the time so no damage to report, but it could be really dangerous.”
