| Oct 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | When driving the car at 45 mph, warning lights came on for: (1)Vehicle Stability system problem. Reduced traction and handling. See your dealer. (2)Electric power steering system problem. Steering assist reduced. See your dealer. (3)Hill start assist problem. Vehicle my role upon brake release. See your dealer. (4)Adaptive cruise control system problem. See your dealer. (5)Brake System problem. Brake Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. While these messages flashed, the car lost ability to accelerate, steer very well, and brake very well. The car came to a stop after it slowed and I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could. I placed in in park, turned it off, and then turned it back on. It drove normally for a few minutes and then another warning light came on for a few seconds. It disappeared and the car drove normally. The dealer said a code showed up but they couldn't replicate the issue. They ended up replacing the battery because they didn't want to give it back to me without a fix. About 4 weeks later, we were stopped on the highway and in park waiting for over an hour. As we sat there, the warning light came on that said, "Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer." The dealer kept the car for 2 weeks, couldn't replicate the problem, and said there were no codes. They offered no fix. 2 weeks after that, the car flashed up a warning light while driving 5 mph in a parking lot. The warning light said that the "Lane assist" was not operational and that I should contact the dealer. I couldn't take a pic of it because it only flashed up for 5-10 seconds. I'm taking the car in later today. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | WHEELS | Purchased the vehicle with 23 miles, notice the ride quality getting worse over the passing months. at 5800k miles or so I had to contact the dealership to report a possible issue so before driving 90 mins to an appointment I checked all wheel lug nuts, 3 lug nuts on the driver side and 2 lug nuts on the passenger side front were not properly torqued at the manufactures plant when built. I had the dealership check the front suspension, and balance of each wheel to find out the front two wheels were not properly balanced at the manufacture plant so the dealership corrected the balance issue. Unfortunately, that did not improve the ride quality which got worse to where it started to feel like the driver side tire was going flat. I took the vehicle to a 3rd party wheel/tire shop and had a road force check on the driver tire which initally showed the tire was defective, contacted goodyear corporate which they provided a credit towards the cost of a new replacement tire. The real issue came forward when the tire shop removed the tire which exposed the rim and a defective part know as a sound-deadening attachment to the rim which upon inspection was actually eating away at the tire from the inside with every rotation while driving. I took photos/video of the rim along with the bad tire to the dealership which was warrantied out and a new rim from Honda and new tire from goodyear was later installed. If i had driven 500 or less miles possibly on the interstate a blowout definitely would have taken place. There's no telling how many other vehicles that could have the same problem. My photos and video speak volume to the seriousness of the matter. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | SEAT BELTS | if using remote start to start the vehicle, and then you get into the vehicle, the seatbelt chime will not chime after you turn the car all the way on. It will only chime once the engine is powered on initially, during remote start where the driver will not hear it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION | All of my safety turned off and it says check engine and it won’t stop illuminating and it scares me because this is a 2023 vehicle and I’ve had it for 3600 miles and that’s it and this is like the second time this has done it to me. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES | 25AUG2023 At 75 mph multiple vehicle systems failed simultaneously and car lost power. Numerous codes were displayed on the dash in succession. Vehicle's loss of power slowed it rather quickly. Messages that I recall being displayed as the car lost power: TPMS; Brake System, Power Steering, Air bag; Vehicle Stability Assist, etc. Small video clip was taken during the event; however, due to obvious safety issues related to trying to move the car safely to the shoulder of the road during morning rush hour traffic, the video is short. Soon after pulling onto the shoulder the vehicle began flashing all electrical items in the car and then there was complete loss of power including the hazard lights. (other videos were taken of the various flashing warnings and the vehicle's behavior as it finally went into complete failure....however, I am unable to upload to this site.) Vehicle was towed to the nearest Honda dealer. Honda North, Butler PA 16001 28AUG2023 Honda dealer verified that the car logged multiple DTC codes for various systems modules but could not replicate the failure. Car was given a short road test and no issues presented themselves. Honda North requested to keep the car for one more day for further investigation and a longer test ride with more diagnostics. 29AUG2023 Honda North performed a longer (@20 mi) road test and stated the vehicle performed without issue. They explained that they had nothing from Honda engineering to indicate any action to take related to such an event. They again acknowledged that multiple DTC codes were logged and all systems were operational while restating that there was nothing to do unless it happened again and a module failed completely. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | Well, I don't really know what to do.. Last night the car was sitting in the garage on. And playing a seminar I was watching.on my phone. The keys were nowhere around the car, and the door was unlocked and the car was just sitting there on in the garage. We've only had the car five days, but this worries me.. It reminds me of [XXX] . This is the first year of this body styles and I hope it never does anything weird like this on the freeway (cutting off) or parked in front of a store. Then again this morning the door was unlocked already and didn't beep to open.

| Jul 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | While driving I received a message stating the automatic emergency braking, steering assist, lane keeping assist, braking assist, hill hold, adaptive cruise control all we turned off. Additionally regenerative braking was also turned off. This system problem did not clear after the car turned off and back on. The dealership addressed the issue, but unsure of the cause. All codes were cleared and the system was recalibrated. This is the first incident of this type with this vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE | I was driving the car on I four east toward Orlando going towards Disney World. Just bought the car two days ago and had 10 miles on it. It’s a Honda accord hybrid sport, the engine start shaking smoking while I’m in the middle lane going 70 miles an hour the whole car shuts off and it has every single code known to man come up on HondaLink and I feel like a dealer is making me keep his car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2023 | SEAT BELTS | The seatbelt fabric seems to be wearing/rubbing off. Every time I buckle up, I have a bunch of its fabric all over my shirt. Thinking after a little more uses that the seatbelt will thin itself out a break or pop and won’t be strong enough to protect me | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2023 | SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving in NC tonite, I was coming to a stop light near road construction. Suddenly my Accord hybrid jerked and stuttered and then stalled out. When I restarted my Accord hybrid the instrument cluster had a large amber warning that my braking system has a problem and that braking may be reduced. Really? And the warning on my instrument cluster also said to take my 2023 Accord hybrid with 248 miles on it, to the dealer. I just bought the vehicle on Feb 28, 2023! Did I buy a lemon? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
