Collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer. This has showed up 3 times on my car so far, 2 times in 6 days. Driving in good weather, clean highways, checked radar for debris and have not found any each time. Dealer says no code, nothing wrong! why is it telling me to "see dealer" "??" if nothing is wrong. All the safety, cruise and braking safety features were shut off, could not use cruise alone after. Happened once in 2020 and March 20&26 of 2021. Dealer keeps telling me nothing is wrong!

My 2018 Honda Accord has a humming/droning noise that based on my research is coming from the anti noise system (ans). This is a common and annoying problem amongst Accord owners. Please help...love the car other than this issue.

Loud humming/whining noise occurs while driving at speeds between 35-50 mph. The only way to stop this ear splitting noise is to crack a window. According to the dealer, it is a known-issue with the automatic noise cancelling system in 2018 Honda Accord and later. Honda hasn't been able to fix this issue in over 3 years. It is extremely distracting to the driver, not to mention unsafe to have to drive with the window open in freezing temperature and rain. It happens to me almost every time I drive, especially in temperatures below 50 degrees.

I was driving on the highway at about 65 miles/hour when I began to hear a hissing sound coming from the left most air vent. Within seconds, a strong electrical or burning rubber smell began to fill the cabin. The hissing sound eventually subsided. Shortly thereafter, white smoke began to come through the air vents. The smoke lasted for about 45-60 seconds. First thing the next morning, I took the vehicle to my local Honda dealer to have the issue fixed under warranty. They had the vehicle for 4 working days but could not find anything wrong with it, and instructed me to bring the vehicle back to them if it happens again. They did say that the car had a code for a "fault in the blower motor circuit", but said that that was probably nothing to worry about. As of March 4th 2021, this issue has not reappeared since the initial occurrence.

2018 Honda Accord hybrid touring - loud humming noise while cruising at 52mph. Read google and you'll find many others have similar issues but no known resolve. Have been repeatedly able to reproduce and it can be obnoxious at times but of course Honda denies any knowledge of the issue and claims they are unable to reproduce.

Accord

  • miles
Very loud roaring noise when driving about 52-54mph (and intermittently at other speeds). This not engine noise, but seems to a glitch in the automatic noise cancelling system that causes a feedback loop resulting in an alarming roaring sound that can cause driver to panic or otherwise be distracted from driving safely.

A loud droning noise occurs randomly. Noticeable not only by driver but front and rear passengers. This has been brought to the dealers attention since purchase. They say they cannot replicate the noise. Originally happened between 40 and 50 mph but now occurs at various speed.

This is a complaint for a unique occurrence of this problem on this date. In some instances, it seems that the ventilation system is potentially pulling noxious fumes in from the engine bay and in others, there seems to be an issue with moisture retention when ac is run. The vehicle seems to force foul smelling air in to the cab. Honda has failed to properly troubleshoot the issue (I.e. retain the vehicle for more than a few hours and try to understand if there is an issue with the ventilation system or something else).
