This is the second tire of the four purchased in 2022 that have cracks in the sidewall (tread separation from sidewall). They are the Goodyear Assurance Maxlife 235/40R19 96V. No warning to the loss of tire pressure and the time it takes for the cracks to propagate. When I brought the first tire back to Sam's Club (where I originally purchased the tires), the replacement was prorated based on tire wear. No indication that there was a defect on the replaced tire, and more importantly, no inspection or concern that the replacement left three remaining defective tire on the vehicle.
NHTSA complaint 11768234Defective radio causing DEAFENING static sound even if radio is OFF. Louder when radio is ON! The volume control and power button has no effect on the static. The noise is so LOUD that drivers cannot hear sirens from emergency vehicles or the voice from navigation. Internet search shows many 2017-2017 Accord owners are effected by the same issue. video link: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
NHTSA complaint 11767020UNKNOWN- My speedometer is off by 5 miles per hour. Think I'm going the correct speed in a school zone and find out it's not reading correctly. Got a device to check it and sure enough it's off. ELECTRICAL- This is the second time my GPS screen/radio has been replaced due to the fact that I am a Realtor and I use this a lot to find the homes my clients want to see. The screen goes dark, the music goes loud, you can't turn it down, screen freezes etc. Or using the GPS and I receive a phone call and the screen goes black. So I find it hard to believe it was the radio when the new one is doing the exact same thing. The first time this happened I believe was around Dec 2025 and now it's doing it again. It started again this year but I unfortunately broke my ankle and this car situation was not my top priority.. I have contacted the dealer and plan on bringing it back to them when Pete from Clear Lake Honda gets back from out of town but again, it wasn't a faulty radio and it wasn't a gum wrapper if I have a new radio doing the exact same thing as well as the electrical doing the exact same thing. ELECTRICAL- This is the second time my electrical went out. The first time and the second time are the same. Automatic lights don't come on at night and I learned that the hard way. Key fobs don't work to unlock and lock the doors, anything with the electrical system. I was told the first time, oh, it was a gum wrapper in the fuse box area. There has been nobody under the hood of my car so I highly doubt it was a gum wrapper if the same thing is happening again.
NHTSA complaint 11766815The 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.

NHTSA complaint 11758010Very 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.
NHTSA complaint 11756847Car 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.
NHTSA complaint 11753367The 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.
NHTSA complaint 11751987This 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.

NHTSA complaint 11750585this 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.
NHTSA complaint 11748942The 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.
NHTSA complaint 11748493While 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.
NHTSA complaint 11748339So 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
NHTSA complaint 11748294If the car is in the sun loud static noise blares on all the speakers
NHTSA complaint 11747745While 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.
NHTSA complaint 11744439Pulled off my street to go to work, and the car engine started hesitating, misfiring and losing power. I turned around and was able to get it to a safe location, but had to have it towed to the dealership. Dealership ran codes said it was a bad injector issue and quoted me $2,600 to replace all 4. My Accord just turned 9 and has had all recommended services done. This is my 4th Honda and have never had any fuel injector issues with prior cars. My car is not showing as part of the recall for this, but it should be because they are defective. If I had not turned around, a semi could have hit me as I was in an industrial area, because the car all of a sudden lost power. This is an extreme safety issue and should be recalled.
NHTSA complaint 11743543I had just started my car and when i turned my radio was on ,that has been playing music & letting my take take calls thru just fine. I then turned the audio off because I was on a phone call & didnt want it to conect to the car and all i could hear & everyone in walmart parking lot could hear was EXTREMELY loud white noise(static) . Even with the audio turned off & completely down, it was deafening.i do notice that when im on a phone call & im not using the cars assistance, it shows that my volume is muted but turned all the way up to 32!! Which is crazy, I know that would blow the speakers.but anyways I could not even pay attention to try to drive home on june 2nd when this incident occurred, so I had to sit in the blistering heat for forever it seemed trying to get it to quit, which I had to keep turning my car on & off which I didnt like doing bc i know that not good , in order to get the static to go away enough for me to get home which was barely 2 miles away..very aggrevatying & stressful, when i was currently workingand had to quit for the day.. I believe the car got too hot. I say that because barely a month after purchasing my honda accord( ive currently had car for 1 yr ), the back windshield shattered while I was at work, and it was very hot ,juwt like it was the day my speakers started screaming static at me..i hope this can be fixed. I cant afford to trade or even fix this issue at the moment and my job requires me to drive alot.. thanks.. hope to talk soon.
