Steering
53 reports
“The steering rack is clicking and clunking at low speed turns or even when the car is parked or still and you turn the wheel, any alignment that’s done to the car goes bad right away because the rack box is messed up, it has play and it vibrates the steering wheel when driving, I called the dealership and they won’t help me or fix the issue because there is no recall on the part but many other Honda owners are experiencing that same issue, the safety issue is that my steering wheel has play and it will turn at anytime, it’s been inspected and the rack is the issue, no warning lamps or messages.”
Forward collision avoidance
26 reports2 crashes
“When traveling down a road the CMBS will detect an object at times in your path of travel. Other times for example I was traveling i95 North in the middle lane, car detected a vehicle to my left and then indicated the car was attempting to cut me off thus activating breaking system, there wasn't any vehicles to my left or right. There was vehicles directly behind me and to my far right lane. Such issues have happened multiple times, I've spoken to 3 different Honda dealerships regarding this matter, I've been unsuccessful in getting this dangerous issue resolved. I'm told the technician would have to replicate the issue, well this CMBS issues happens randomly without any prior warning.”
Electrical system

“1. The service center diagnosed the BCM as faulty. I do not have the faulty part available as it was replaced. Service center work notes: Vehicle no start confirmed, battery voltage is at 12.4V. Vehicle has message on dash to touch key to ignition start stop button, with no success. Proceeded to inspect all main fuses to under hood fuse box, found all fuses are good main 175 amp fuse is ok, along with all four multi fuses. Proceeded to follow troubleshooting for message displayed on dash, tested key fob for unlock and lock functions, tested start stop button functions with no issues. Checked fuses that power is at each supply pin, pin 1 on connector a has 12.2v and pin 18 12.3v. Used the ground from connector pin 51 while testing voltage on previous pins to confirm ground is good. It is suspected that bcm has a internal failure and will need to be checked with known good unit, reprogrammed and retest to confirm vehicle will start. 2. The car in the faulty condition had no noticeable difference from one with a low battery so I tried to jump start the vehicle per the owners manual. This put me at a significant fire risk of over charging the battery. 3. Unknown if…”

“The contact owns a 2024 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the fuel injector. The contact was informed that the fuel injector needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.”

“When I go to start the vehicle, it takes multiple seconds to actually start. It continues to turn over and over before finally starting up. This happens 3-4 times a day depending on how often I drive. This also creates a bad gas fume, fuel smell. This doesn't seem like something that a 2024 Honda should experience. I am a new owner to the car and have not taken it to a certified Honda dealership. It was purchased used from a non-Honda dealership. I did reach out to the local Honda dealership though, asking if this is normal for the car to act like this. I am awaiting a response.”
Service brakes

“On XXX, about 8:30 a.m., in clear, sunny weather, I was turning my 2024 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid into a marked parking space. My foot was off the accelerator; I applied light brake pressure while the vehicle moved under 5 mph. Without warning, it suddenly and spontaneously accelerated at high speed. Within seconds it drove over a concrete parking stop, traveled through dense landscaping, and collided into a palm tree that prevented it moving forward. I immediately powered it off. The airbag did not deploy; no warning message preceded the acceleration. Before repair, Germain Honda scanned the vehicle; May 28 invoice the Shop Foreman and a Honda District Parts & Service Manager inspected it. The report’s Page 1 checklist all items marked green "Satisfactory" and no damage noted in vehicle diagrams. This is not reconciled with the packet's Lighting "NG" and B1036 results or estimates documenting a shattered right headlamp. The invoice attributes many codes to headlight/bumper impact but identifies neither the codes nor the basis. Native HDS data was not provided. Pre-repair records from Germain Honda (May 28), Caliber/ProTech (XXX), and Crash Champions (XXX)…”
