2025 Honda Accord problems

“My 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid is experiencing the exact mechanical binding, momentary resistance, and "sticky steering" symptoms outlined in Recall 24V-744 (and TSB 23-037), but my VIN was excluded from the initial recall wave. The issue first began within the first 10,000 miles of driving and has progressively worsened, now severely impacting the vehicle at 18,000 miles. The sticking and mechanical catching are noticeably worse in fall and winter during colder ambient temperatures. The vehicle exhibits momentary catch-and-release resistance when attempting small steering corrections, creating an unsafe driving experience.”

“I was driving steadily on the freeway in slow moving traffic at 20-30 miles and had a lot of distance between me and the car in front. There was a sudden jolt and it appeared the vehicle was attempting to brake unexpectedly. If my foot had not been on the accelerator, I believe the vehicle could have come to a sudden, complete stop, potentially causing the vehicle behind me to rear end my car. Several months, before this incident, the Collision Mitigation Braking System and Lane Assist warning alerts would sound while I was driving on the freeway. This happened at two separate times. The sudden alarms are startling, and I cannot safely read the dashboard messages while driving. I am forced to slow down or pull over to check what is wrong, creating additional safety risks. I have a scheduled appointment with the Dealer this weekend due to the sudden braking however, I've brought this issue up with the service department in the past with the warning lights and they don't seem to have a definitive answer as to what is causing it. I have less than 20,000 miles on this vehicle.”

“I am reporting multiple recurring safety concerns involving my 2025 Honda Accord, including apparent electronic parking brake malfunctions, Auto Brake Hold failures, electrical system warnings, violent engine restarts, and a possible battery or charging-system defect. While stopped in traffic, particularly when the Auto Idle Stop system shuts off and restarts the engine, my vehicle sometimes experiences an unusually violent shaking or jerking motion. The restart can feel like a sudden, forceful kick. During these episodes, the electronic parking brake appears to engage unexpectedly without my manually activating it. Multiple dashboard warning lights and messages intermittently illuminate, including Brake System Problem, Brake Hold warnings, and other braking-related alerts. I have also experienced braking-related warnings or abnormal operation when traveling on inclines. The warning indicators sometimes disappear afterward, but the problems recur. I am concerned that these malfunctions could interfere with normal braking, acceleration, or vehicle control, particularly in traffic or on hills, creating a collision risk. Additionally, an AAA roadside assistance…”

“In XXX, the driver assistance and safety systems on my 2025 Honda Accord SE began failing repeatedly. While driving, warning messages would appear for the collision mitigation braking system, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams, and these systems would become unavailable. This happened multiple times over XXX and XXX . I took the vehicle to Hugh White Honda in [XXX], four to five times for this problem. The dealer replaced the forward-facing camera twice under warranty, but the warnings and system failures continued after each repair. The dealer was never able to identify or fix the underlying cause. I filed a complaint with American Honda on XXX (case XXX). Because the safety systems on a nearly new vehicle could not be repaired, I traded the vehicle in on XXX, with approximately 17,000 miles. No crash or injuries occurred, but the vehicle repeatedly lost the use of its collision avoidance and lane keeping safety systems in normal driving, and the manufacturer could not repair the defect.”

“The contact's son owns a 2025 Honda Accord. The owner stated that while coming to a stop, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop. No warning light was illuminated. The owner fully lifted the foot from the brake pedal and forcefully depressed the brake pedal while attempting to stop the vehicle. The vehicle failed to stop, causing the contact's son to rear-end a semi-truck. The contact's son stated that the vehicle powered off after the crash. The contact's son also stated that the air bags did not deploy during the crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the failure could be duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by telephone, and the contact was corresponding with a case manager via email. A case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.”
