2025 Honda Accord Hybrid problems

“On August 23, 2026, the electronic power steering and braking systems on a 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid completely failed and locked up simultaneously while traveling at highway speeds. This caused an immediate and severe safety risk, resulting in a near-collision on a busy freeway with three occupants inside the vehicle. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. Prior to and during the failure, widespread dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, including the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Low Speed Braking Control. Additionally, 11 malfunction alerts were triggered via the HondaLink app. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealer from August 24 to September 11, 2026. As documented in the attached Honda dealer service report, technicians initially noted low voltage codes causing multiple system failures. However, instead of identifying and repairing the root cause of the voltage drop, the dealer merely cleared the codes, test-drove the vehicle, and closed the repair order stating they "could not duplicate concern." Furthermore, the attached text message…”

“While driving ~70 mph on highway on adaptive cruise control, the car suddenly LOST ALL POWER/ACCELERATION, including POWER STEERING and ALL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. I recalled some were BREAK SYSTEM, ACC, ABCS, CHECK ENGINE, POWER, TPMS...etc. Essentially any warning light Accord has was flashing. The car slowed with no power steering, I managed to parked on the shoulder and turned on hazard light. This is extremely dangerous as the highway traffic was extremely heavy. After I parked, I pressed the ENGINE START/STOP button thinking I needed to "turn it off" but the car already had lost power at that point anyway. After pressing it a couple times, the car restarted and I drove to the dealer with one error message remaining on the dashboard - "Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See you dealer." and the CHECK ENGINE light was on.”

“The contact owns a 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the steering wheel failed to turn in the intended direction. The contact stated that the steering wheel was stiff, and the failure was persistent. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000. The VIN was unavailable.”

“Vehicle drove normally in the morning commute. In the afternoon commute it started normally and as i approached highway speeds the alarms started showing up. the Brake, hill descent system, abs, critical failure. the vehicle started losing speed and could not accelerate. Losing speed at highway speed was alarming and finally all dashboard went red with alert to stop driving and engine heating warming. Speed was in the range of 35-40 mph on a highway rated 70 mph. I had to pull over and tow car to dealership.”

“The contact owned a 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH and making a right turn onto the driveway, the vehicle unintendedly pulled to the left. The contact stated that while attempting to turn the steering wheel back to the intended direction, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly, and the brakes and the steering wheel were inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle crashed through the garage door, hit cabinets on the side, and drove on top of the cabinets, 3 inches from the ground, and stopped. The driver's side and passenger's side knee air bags deployed. The contact stated that the driver's side knee air bag deployed and broke the plastic underneath the dashboard, which injured the contact's legs. The emergency call (eCall) system activated and connected the contact with an operator, who then called an ambulance and the police on the contact's behalf. A police report was filed. Both the contact and her husband, who was occupying the front passenger's side seat, were transported to the Emergency Room by ambulance. The contact sustained Hematomas on both legs, and the contact's legs were…”

“When traveling on an Interstate Highway in the left lane of a 2-lane highway with the Adaptive Cruise Control turned on. Passing a tractor trailer going slower in the right lane, the car will apply the brakes unexpectedly. The dash will briefly show a "ghost" truck crossing into the left lane. The unexpected braking causes any vehicle behind the Accord to brake. Putting those vehicles and any behind them at risk. Smart Honda of Des Moines looked at the car on Sept. 22, 2025 reported no error codes and nothing could be done. If the Accord hugs the far left shoulder, no "ghost" breaking occurs. If the Adaptive Cruise Control is turn off and regular Cruise Control is turned on, no "ghost" braking occurs.”
