Rear camera has malfunctioned. The dashboard screen shows a black background with horizontal 'vibrating ' lines. 2018 Honda Accord had a recall for this but to date there has been no recall for the 2017 Accord although it seems to be the same problem.

On 9-12-2019, my wife experienced a sudden acceleration with her 2017 Honda Accord. She turned into a parking space at a local funeral home, stopped and was about to put the car in park. Suddenly the car accelerated, surging forward over the curb, down the landscaped bank, over another curb, crossed over a 2 lane road, over a curb into a fast food entrance, off the curb, continuing forward and hit the right rear clip of a car in the drive thru, over another curb and finally stopped after hitting a tree. The breaks did not slow or stop the car. The car traveled approximately 150 feet before striking the tree. The car was totaled due to all of the damage underneath. I reported the issue to my Honda dealer on 9-13-19. They gave me the number to their national headquarters. Honda sent field reps out to examine the car and try to pull any data. On 10/10/19 I received a call from Honda stating no issues found. After checking the internet I found over 150 issues with sudden acceleration issues with Honda. This reoccurring issue needs to be investigated before it results into someone dying.

Last night I had just gotten home from worked and gone in the house to change for church. Less than 5 minutes later, I returned to my car and when trying to start it, it would start up. Lights flickered on dash, but it wouldn't turn over. Had roadside assistance come to jump start car. Less than 24 hours later, the same thing happened. Car won't start after driving this morning and this afternoon already. This is the third time this his happened this year, with in a few months. Car has less that 50K miles. This needs to be looked into because if I'm in the middle of nowhere, this could be very dangerous.

Loud grinding noise coming from front wheels on 2017 Accord sport since almost new. Very noticeable at lower speeds. Honda dealer insisted grinding noise was from tire/rim combination and not items such as rotors, brakes, and/or wheel bearings, etc..

For the second time in less than two months, the emissions/electrical/check engine on the 2017 Honda Accord is an issue. I have researched the internet and I am finding that this is a common error on the 2016 Honda's and newer. The emission error system has come on again. The last time I had this problem the converter had to be replaced. The system error comes on when driving when raining, which makes me believe that there is also a electrical problem as well. I find this concerning on a new, 100 percent dealer maintained vehicle. There is obviously an electrical/emission problem in the system and it requires an independent party to review. The tech states no issue can arise from having the check engine/emission light on but the car does tend to lose power during these issues. Honda owners should not be held liable for manufacture errors.

Recently took my car in for car doc maintenance for and an oil change. Paperwork states the battery is good. Upon leaving the dealership after mechanic brought my vehicle out to me I jumped tried to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start so I informed the Honda mechanic and they gave me a jump with the jumper box. It's been 1 month since then and my car won't start at the oddest times even after I've been driving for a while. Car won't start or turn over and the lights just flicker on and off. I'm currently waiting on a tow truck to get a jump my car is parked in the garage and it won't start. Very frustrated with Honda I had the car less than 2 years and I have less than 50K miles

Tamara recall - sometimes but not all there is hesitation when making left hand turns after stopping at a traffic light. Occasionally this will happen with right hand turns but not as often. I had coggin Honda in St augustine check the problem out but they could not determine there was a problem with the car but thought it was a driver error.

My Honda Accord 2017 4 cyn all of dash board lights lit up, the steering wheel partially locked while I was driving going 55 mph. I pulled over and couldn't cut the car off with my start button. After about 5 minutes I was able to finally cut it cut off. Then it would not start at all. Then after another 5 minutes it started and I went straight to the car dealership January 2019. About seven months earlier, my car would start at all. I went to the dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong. They told me only thing it might be was the battery, I bought a battery and my car was only 11 months old. Recently, February 2019, now my battery is 7 months old, my car wouldn't start again. They can't find anything wrong with my car, but I am having issues. There have been times when I start my car and the dash lights do not come on and I hold the button on the dash and the system reboot and the dash light come on. My car is at the dealership and now it is starting, but the said everything is registering that nothing is wrong. I have an huge issue because I can't be strained in this cold winter weather and my car not starting. This is unsafe because I was in motion less than a month ago on the highway going 55 mph and my car froze in motion. Cjb February 2019

Over the last several days the car would not start without requiring a jump for the battery. Then it would run, but once the car was off and had to be restarted it would require another jump. Had the battery tested and brought the car to dealership and they state nothing is wrong with the vehicle. (it started there no problem). It ran fine for the next few days, but currently its parked and won't start. The only lights that displayed was the eps which turned off shortly after the car started.

The car caught on fire by itself, a car only with 13,000 miles and 1 year of usage that means almost brand new car. I drove 9 miles aprox. From home to my work location. When I arrive and park the car before going upstairs, I saw the car blowing unusual smoke from the engine compartment, I opened the hood and I saw the fire was coming between the engine and the radiator. I call the 911 and when they arrived they tried to use a fire extinguisher but the fire started getting out of control, forcing them to use the water hose to stop the fire. Honda is not taking care of this safety concern and no body knows what happened

The tires that came with the car are not suitable for driving in winter conditions. The tread pattern is designed for dry roads. There are no channels for accumulating slush, snow, etc. To exit the tread to the sides. This causes accumulation in the tread and causes hydroplaning and complete loss of traction. Last winter I almost lost total control of this car while on the expressway coming North from O'hare on I94 in slush. I tried asking the kenosha, Wisconsin dealership to put all season radials on the car and they refused, saying if I wanted to pay for different tires I could do that. Selling or leasing a vehicle in a specific geographical area should include tires that are suited for said area. This car is dangerous to drive in snow or any slippery conditions due to the tires.

Smells like fish when turning on the heat & A/C. the tires are dry rotted. This car is not brand new and must have come from an area where there was flooding. Lithia Honda in medford Oregon selling cars that are really totaled out cars from floods or hurricane prone areas. This is a danger, as dry rot blow out tires may cause series accidents. Out police officers are also driving on these tires! dry rot tires.
