Worst on hot days. Stereo will crackle and emit high decible, piercing, and inconsistent tones and static. Highly distracting. Only known "fix" is to turn off the car and wait for it to cool and hope it doesn't happen again. Typically starts in rear speakers. Will increase volume suddenly and without warning. Unable to hear traffic noises around vehicle. Turning off audio system does not work to fix it. Will happen on days 80 degrees or more. Full car sun shades did not prevent it from occuring. Numerous online incidents found.

My back up camera was replaced in 2018 due to the original one installed during the manufacturing state being defective and going out while still under warranty. Last year my camera quit projecting an image on the screen. I can only see the directional lines on the screen when in reverse that change color and appears to work if I am out of the parking lines and the screen is black. Every once in a while the camera will flash an image for a nanosecond on the screen before going black. I have gone to Honda regarding this but they won't do anything because my VIN is a 2017. This is a safety issue since I am unable to see when backing out. Please consider extending this recall to include the 2017 Honda Accord. I am sure I am not the only one with this issue.

Driver door and driver side rear door lock actuators both failed very untimely. Car has 55,000 miles on it and is garage kept and accident free. I needed to replace both components as the doors would not lock or unlock and posed an extreme safety hazard. Also the alternator needed to be replaced very untimely making me feel as though there are further electrical issues with this vehicle. I contacted Honda and have not received a response in over two weeks.

I had the radio replaced under warranty but the problem was never solved and only gave a 90day warranty on a refurbished unit. I complained about the refurbished unit and they refused to put a new unit under the waranty. Honda has known about the radio issue creating a very loud static pulsating noise thats unbearable and distracting while driving causing distraction and you would not even be able to hear an emergency vehicle or anything near you while this noise is pulsating at a very high decibels. This problem is all over the internet with people having issues with the very loud noise being distracting and unbearable. Seems this only happens on the hybrid touring model. There is a serious problem with this being a safety issue being very distracting and unbearable. I also get a noise warning exceeding the normal decibels required. I believe the radio is over heating and also might cause a fire in the dash.

Loud static noise from speakers When sound is off / muted, this is a concern to my safety because it-??s completely loud making my ears hurt, not only that it-??s very difficult to hear around my surroundings with this loud static noise playing, definitely not safe to drive and there is no way to turn it off unless I completely turn off the vehicle. It has not been inspected by anyone or dealership which is why I have made this report.

ABS module went out, from what I-??m reading it-??s a common issue among Hondas

- Pinole, CA, USA

The speakers and sound system emit a VERY loud static sound that is often accompanied by computerized sounds. It usually happens after I've been driving the vehicle for about 10-15 minutes. It seems to be coming from the head unit/radio unit, but the sound will continue even if I completely turn off the radio/sound system. It's so loud that it's often hard to concentrate and is going to damage my hearing if it persists. It started happening shortly after my car turned over to 100K miles. There are hundreds and maybe thousands of other Honda Accord owners who have posted online about this VERY same issue (usually 2017) and the Honda dealers recommend replacing the entire unit to the tune of $4-5,000. This is a manufacturer defect!! The ONLY thing that stops the noise is to pull over, turn the car off, and wait 10-15 minutes, but sometimes the sound starts right up again. I have not yet taken my car to the dealer or a repair shop due to the hundreds/thousands of other posts online stating the exact same problem and the recommendation by Honda being to replace a part that was manufactured defectively. The sound is VERY loud and I cannot drive my car very far unless I just want to put up with it and try to ignore it. Even if I put headphones in my ears (which I don't when driving as that's unsafe), I can STILL hear the static. Honda needs to issue a recall for this problem and fix it!

- Bayonne, NJ, USA

The head unit and stereo system will play static non stop at the highest volume possible. Turning the radio off, the sound off, etc. nothing stops it. It is dangerous, you can not hear anything and it is extremely distracting. The static being played through all the speakers at top volume with no way to make it stop is not safe to be driving with and is liable to drive someone mad.

- Saint Petersburg, FL, USA

There appears to be a model-wide problem with 2017 Honda Accord audio system that manifests in screeching static noise through audio speakers (whether the radio is turned on or not) at decibels in excess of 100 (sounds like a lawnmower being operated inside a closed 4 door sedan). This noise comes with no warning (or waring lights) and shocks the senses that can cause erratic vehicle operation. Once the noise starts, it will last varying lengths of time that include in excess of 12 minutes. The only means to make it stop is by turning off the car, which is not easy or safe if highway driving. The screeching is so loud, it is impossible to hear emergency sirens or honking horns, making this a serious safety issue. This is also very distracting -- imagine a passenger screaming in your ear as loud as they can non-stop -- simply not conducive to safe driving! Honda of America acts like they have never heard of this issue (I can see that many, many 2017 Accord owners have reported this very issue over the last several years). Dealer diagnostics reveal nothing. They only recommend replacing the entire audio head unit ($4K) and owner expense. For a car that is only 7 years old, it is not working as intended. A recall seems warranted. This has been going on over a month now and is getting progressively worse. Please help us. [XXX] Please open this video to hear the problem.

There is a VERY loud noise, static-like noise that is coming from my speakers. It won't stop if I turn the stereo off. When the temperature is high from either the outside weather or the heater, it seems to happen then. It now does it all the time if I've been driving for about 20mins. Everything is stock in my car and not modified. There are no warning lights, I have not taken it in to have it looked at yet. I've read that others have had the exact same issue with this model.

My audio unit is BLARING STATIC NOISE AT THE HIGHEST DECIBEL LEVEL POSSIBLE

- Miami Beach, FL, USA

The car makes loud static noise that is distracting. The noise is sudden and does not go away by lowering the volume. This has bee a common safety hazard reported by many Honda Accord 9th generation owners. American Honda refuses to recall vehicles to solve this problem. Apparently, it is common knowledge that the audio/navigation head unit is the reson for this loud random static noise.

while driving 40 MPH, I was unable to hear the sirens of an emergency vehicle because there was a loud static noise coming through the speakers. Even, I already turned off audio. loud static noise still persisted. It will distract driver's attention. The failure was intermittent. I have sent my car to deal but they said they couldn't find the root cause. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that there was no recall on the VIN for the issue. The failure mileage was 68000.

Speakers are making loud static noise whenever the radio is turned on or off. After observation, the car does it quite often in heat, especially in Florida weather. It is now doing it in cooler temperatures. Now that there is permanent damage. Sometimes the loudness is very overwhelming. You-??re not able to even hear yourself talk in the car. You-??re not able to hear if someone is pressing their horn at you because of how loud the noises are. Honda hasn-??t offered any solutions to the problem. I have called several times to report this issue. i-??ve seen quite a number of people who are having the same issue as I am. There-??s a forum on Reddit. There-??s people on YouTube.This is an ongoing issue and it needs to be replaced or repaired. I was told by Honda that is an issue with the wiring of the car when the car was manufactured.

The speakers will blast static noise while driving even when the radio is turned off. The engine will need to be powered off to stop the noise. After powering on and driving again the static noise returns within 5 minutes. This is very distracting. This has been happening intermittently for over a month. The audio fuse can be removed to stop the noise from occurring. Unfortunately, this fuse also disables the backup camera and side camera, not an ideal fix. I have MP4 format video available that can be shared via Gmail Google drive.

Computer sensor, fuel pump, starter the car stalls while cranking and stalls while driving like it wants to shut off. The car wont go over 60 miles without skipping the engine and when the car stops the engine cuts off.

- Poinciana, FL, USA

The audio unit on my 2107 Honda Accord will (seemingly) randomly produce loud, increasing static noise from the speakers that last from 5-10 minutes. There is no way to stop the noise other than to pull over and turn off the car. While that noise is happening nothing else can be heard, other traffic and especially emergency vehicles. This has not been confirmed by a dealer yet or inspected by anyone. (Many online forums bear witness to this problem) No warning lights appeared on the vehicle.
