"The steering in my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid gets sticky. It resists movement making small adjustments, especially on the highway. It gets worse the longer that I drive but then goes away if I stop the car (like at a rest stop) but then reappears soon after. After my 2nd complaint to the dealership, the service manager states that he took it on a one hour drive and didn't experience the same issue. I called the dealership on 10/30/2025 stating that the problem seems to be getting worse. They said that they couldn't do anything unless they can recreate the issue, but could not offer me a loaner vehicle while they have my car. At times, knowing that the steering is electronically controlled, I fear that I will lose all steering when driving on the highway. This issue needs to be investigated to see if the recall that involved other VIN's of the same model needs to be expanded."

"Wiring harness failed randomly at 42,000 with no damage to the harness, engine, or vehicle itself. Without the wiring harness the engine does not run properly and shakes violently, causing the car to lose power. This happened with no prior warnings, problems, or damage. Additionally the steering rack seems “loose” and changes direction quite quickly when hitting a pothole or uneven roads even at lower speeds. I have to make sure I constantly have a firm grip on the wheel so no sudden unexpected direction changes occur due to imperfections in the road."

"I was sitting in my car, and the entire steering and brake system went offline and the car had a bunch of hazard lights on and said to tow to a dealership. I tested the steering, and didn’t feel the wheels turn with the steering wheel, and the brakes went to the floor. When I went to shut off my car, it did the emergency shut-off (press 2xs or hold for 3 seconds). I attempted to restart the car about 4 times that night, and then I let it sit and tried it again 2 more times before having it towed to the dealership. The dealership stated they received the car and everything was suddenly fine and there were no code history, and they could not tell me the issue. Prior to this, the only issue I had was the car braking when no one was in front of me, but no issues with the steering wheel. With the entire brake system and steering system out, it could have caused a serious accident if I was driving at the time, but I was parked."

"I was driving on an expressway 355 on Friday July 25. It was raining hard. I slowed down and was getting ready to exit on 55 when the lights On the dash all started lighting up and telling me it required immediate attention at the dealer. The car would not accelerate. I was going slow and was able to idol to the space between 355 and 55. There were cars all around me. I put my hazards on and turned it off. I waited a minute and restarted it. Luckily it started and I was able to drive. This happened on an expressway during a storm I was terrified and worried that I would cause an accident by not being able to move the vehicle. This happened once before also while raining but was in a parking lot of a gas station. I took it in and they told me it’s the 12V battery. However was not failing while at dealer. This is a serious safety issue."

"Vehicle shakes roughly and vibrations on this 2024 Honda Accord hybrid when transitioning from electric to gas motor at idle. This occurs sporadically but generally when idling in traffic or a drive thru etc. The electric motor is working in this idle stage, but when the heater or AC is on and you are idling for a period of time, it will kick on the gas motor causing shaking of the vehicle. This occurs mainly when the gas motor is kicking on from idle and sometimes when it shuts itself back off again. This problem was reported to selling dealer Smail Honda at a service appointment on 6/9/25. Tech did not find the problem and left these notes: "Scanned computer for faults and none present. Vehicle operating as designed." In my opinion, the vehicle is not operating as designed and this could be a possible safety issue so I'm filing this incident with NHTSA."

"Re: Two Honda Fuel Pump Recalls in 10 Months In 60 years of driving, I never had a recall on a car until February 2024. In the past 10 months, I have had 2 Hondas recalled for life-threatening fuel pump issues. 1) In 2019, I purchased my first Honda, a Civic. 2) In February, 2024, I received a recall on the 2019 Honda Civic for an improperly constructed fuel pump. I was told the car could just stop - and cause an accident in highway driving. I was also told the replacement part for the fuel pump would not be available until the fall of 2024, at least 6 months later. I did not feel safe driving that car so I traded it into Lia Honda in Northampton, MA for a new 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid. 3) On December 16, 2024, I received a recall on the fuel pump for the new Honda Accord which stated that “due to improper production, the high-pressure fuel pump may crack and leak fuel” which “in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire, crash or injury.” From the recall notice“the replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle currently are not available…” Once again, I owned a Honda that would be life-threatening to drive. Because of Honda’s improper fuel pump production, I had to buy my second new car in 10 months. I have a new car - not a Honda. What kind of quality control does Honda have??"

"Steering wheel feels like it gets stuck on dead center when driving on a perfectly straight level road over 40 mph. When trying to compensate to keep the car in the center of the lane, it feels like you need to apply extra resistance to get the steering wheel to move and then when it moves it feels like it breaks loose causing the wheel to move more than intended resulting in the car moving to far to whichever direction you were trying to move, and then having to turn the wheel in the opposite direction to compensate for the excessive move in that direction. Steering wheel seems perfectly fine until put on dead center for about 10 seconds or longer going perfectly straight. Then it tightens up again and feels the same way when trying to keep the car in the center of the lane. Extra resistance is once again needed, and produces the same result of seeming to stick, then breaking free and over steering the car."

"On 11/11/2024 while at an intersection with a redlight, I was the first car in the "merge to the right" short lane, stopped and waiting on right lane traffic on the road that intersected to clear. When it was safe to go, I moved my foot to the accelerator and nothing happened. I realized my vehicle had lost power / "died;" that all dashboard lights were out. I quickly put my vehicle gear in "Park" position and restarted. It did restart but immediately a red warning light began flashing saying "Brake System Failure" and "Take Vehicle to Dealer." I was terrified as I proceeded in the right lane of traffic since I had vehicles behind me as well as in front of me and I had to cross an intersection with traffic merging from an interstate highway. There was not a safe place to go; all businesses along this stretch had no entry except on their back side. I had to proceed across several major intersections before I could get to a safe place. Meanwhile, warning lights continued and included more than Brake System Failure. One was showing a Warning diagram about changing lanes of traffic which I had to do. Obviously, brakes worked because I was able to stop when needed but I was afraid the brakes would not work which could have been deadly for myself and others. Once I was stopped and in a safe place, I called Honda Roadside Assistance and my car was towed to the nearest Honda dealership. As of this writing (six days from incident), Honda dealership is still investigating; they have not given me a cause or solution. They are providing me with a loaner car. There is no recall on 2024 Honda Hybrid Touring although there are multiple posts online with people saying they had same thing happen with this model vehicle."

"I am filing a complaint regarding the lack of a remedy for the recall on my vehicle, 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid (VIN: [XXX] ). Per the NHTSA website, “due to improper production of the high-pressure fuel pump in the vehicle…a fuel leak can occur when the high-pressure fuel pump is in operation”. The safety risk of this issue is that “if a fuel leak occurs in the presence of an ignition source, the risk of a fire, crash, or injury are increased”. On [XXX] I had a Hyundai Sonata Sport that was in perfect condition and up to date on its maintenance that spontaneously combusted while being towed from NYC to NJ. I lost thousands of dollars of items as well as the 1st car I purchased on my own. The incident was traumatic, and it is thought that the reason it occurred was an undiagnosed fuel leak in the vehicle. To now find out that the car that I leased right after this incident also has the potential to have the same outcome is very unsettling. I called my Honda dealership and Honda corporate regarding this issue on 10/29/2024 and was told I need to wait until December for a letter in the mail with instructions on how the issue will be remedied. Honda was unwilling to give me a guarantee that my car is safe to drive and was unwilling to inspect my car unless I smelled gas in the car or saw gas under the car after it was running. This situation is extremely distressing and not reasonable. I trusted Honda to provide me with a safe, reliable vehicle. I request that I am given a replacement vehicle of equal value without a recall on it, or an inspection of the vehicle looking to see if my car has a defective fuel pump.

"I received a recall notice yesterday for my car, [XXX] . I called 3 dealerships in my area today and they all say they don't know when parts will be available. And how am I supposed to use my car now if they have no responsibility for what may happen. There is no date when I can check and replace the recalled part. I have called bill page Honda 6715 Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22042 and called a couple other dealerships no one knows when they will receive the parts and be able to check if there is a problem and replace the recalled part.

"There is a creaking noise coming from underneath the steering wheel when turning the wheel left or right. The sound is audible when driving at slow and moderate speeds when turning the wheel greater than ~90 degrees in either direction. The main concern is that the noise could indicate a more severe safety problem in the future. Vehicle is currently being inspected by the dealer after recreating the problem at the service center. No additional warning messages are displayed on the car."

"A repeated clicking or popping noise is coming from the electric steering rack when turning the steering wheel left or right, especially at low speeds or when stationary. The issue started with a faint sound and has progressively worsened. It now occurs in both directions and is clearly audible during tight maneuvers or while parking. This may indicate internal looseness or failure in the steering gear assembly, which raises safety concerns as it could affect steering precision or lead to unexpected resistance. Several other owners of the same vehicle model have reported the exact same issue, which suggests this may be a design or manufacturing defect. There were no warning lights or dashboard messages before or during the issue. The condition occurs consistently and may continue to worsen."
