2017 Honda Accord owner complaints (15)

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

    The car radio / infotainment system caused dangerously loud, painful, pulsating static noise to play from all speakers. The noise starts at a lower decibel and gets louder to the point where conversation is impossible. High pitched digital noise is also present and creates additional, painful damage to hearing. Driver concentration is severely impacted and situational awareness is affected due to not being able to hear cars, engines, sirens, or other traffic related noises while driving. No warning lamps or other indicators are present. Upon inspection, the problem can be mitigated by pulling the fuse to the system rendering it inoperable. It cannot be turned off otherwise. Noise will occur even if the radio is turned off.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

    Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was an independent dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 80,000. It was later discovered upon checking the Carfax report that the mileage was 277,000.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

    Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2017 Honda Accord. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase on June 20, 2026, the mileage was 100,000. The contact discovered under a Carfax report that the mileage was 264,897 on July 28, 2025.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    Very loud static across multiple speakers, often independent of radio volume with intermittent static through multiple speakers even when muted or off. I can't hear sirens or emergency vehicles. I can't hear anything except loud static. This is a safety hazard. I read comments about this being a common issue with 2016/2017 Honda Accords XL and higher. This is a factory/manufacturer's defect. There should be a recall so customers don't have a $1400 expense for replacement. Unable to upload video of very loud static noise.

  • POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

    Car shuts off at highway speeds and in stop and go traffic like it has a fuel delivery issue. Car sputters and then loses all power. I know there was a previous recall on this vehicle but I’m curious whether it was actually fixed on my car specifically.

  • UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    The rearview camera on my 2017 Honda Accord has permanently failed. When the vehicle is placed in reverse, the display activates and the yellow guide lines appear, but the actual camera image is completely cloudy and unusable. The camera appears to have an internal failure. The vehicle has lost the ability to provide a clear rear view through its factory-installed backup camera system. Honda has recently addressed similar rear camera clouding/water intrusion issues on other models. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this condition represents a broader safety defect affecting Honda Accord vehicles.

  • AIR BAGS

    This vehicle was involved in an accident. The car crashed into a concrete barrier separating the interstate highway. The front passenger airbag appeared to only partly deploy, and the driver air bag did not deploy.

  • VISIBILITY/WIPER

    2017 Honda Accord EX L rear backup camera does has not worked looks like water in Lense. Honda has recall 325,588 Honda Odyssey minivans from the 2018-2020 model years because the camera may not display an image when in reverse. This problem is alos in 2017 Honda Accords

  • SERVICE BRAKES, AIR

    ABS solenoid internal malfunction

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    this has been on going and was intermittant but recently it is constantly occurring: while driving the radio/speakers emit and incredibly loud static/interference sound. it i so loud in fact, the speakers sound like theyre going to blow. i am unable to stop the sound, the volume button nor power button stop the sound. turning the car off then on doesnt stop it either. the sound is so loud and distracting, it is not safe. i have MANY videos of the occurrences but no photos (since you cant hear the incidents via photo). please contact me for these.

  • STEERING

    The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the steering wheel suddenly locked up without warning. The vehicle towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a defective power steering rack and pinion, and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact felt a slight resistance when turning the steering wheel. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive because the failure could recur and lead to a crash. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 114,095.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

    While driving the factory installed infotainment/audio system suddenly emits an extremely loud .piercing .high amplitude static sound through the speakers. It comes random and happens even if the radio is on or off. I think it is a safety hazard. Turning off the power button will not work. The loud noise continues until you turn off the ignition. This is unacceptable. Catches you off guard and distracts your driving. I have not taken it in because it is not any recalls on it. I have googled it and saw that several people are complaining about the same thing. I feel like this needs to be a recall on because Honda has been knowing about this for several years. It don't warn you that anything is going on or happening.

  • UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    So the vsa/abs module on my car is malfunctioning which controls the abs system and the vehicles safety assist and my car through a code that says abs/vsa module malfunction and also I've been doing research online about it and all the forums and articles I've read says that it's a very common problem with 2007-2017 Honda Accord vehicle and I've reached out to multiple auto shops and they have told me it's a very common issue as well and that those module are not made to last due to how they are made and the costs to buy new to replace it is $2000 and can only be bought or order at a dealership and nowhere else and honestly not everyone can afford that repair cost so I feel a recall is necessary because they fail all the time due to how they are made and it affects a really important safety feature on the car

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    If the car is in the sun loud static noise blares on all the speakers

  • ENGINE

    While driving the vehicle stops accelerating, it seems to have lost power and will not accelerate. It gives an error that says "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM" The vehicle has stopped accelerating while driving, most recently on the freeway while driving the car would not accelerate and I had to navigate to the side of the road while the car lost speed, causing hazardous conditions for myself, my children that were in the vehicle, and others around me. The car has been towed multiple times because of the same issue. I have attempted to have this vehicle repaired numerous times, at this point the mechanic has said that it is an issue with the vehicle itself and has suggested to contact Honda directly. The vehicle has only been worked on by independent mechanics. The lights on the dash blink while it occurs but there doesn't seem to be any forewarning that the issue will occur. It happens at random, no specific rate of speed. The issues started happening about a year ago, I have replaced the battery multiple times and have paid for other repairs but have not resolved the issue.
