The backup camera display intermittently goes to all black except for the yellow guidance lines that normally overlay the image. The passenger-side camera continues to work normally as do all the other dash displays. This has been happening for a several months. It seems to be happening more frequently now. These are the same symptoms as what triggered the Accord 2018 recall to fix buggy camera software. Without the backup camera display it is difficult to determine how far you are away from objects behind you and lower height objects such as small children are completely out of sight. The rear cross traffic view is also unavailable. Yesterday my wife nearly backed up into a car behind her because the backup camera view was blacked out. The problem occurred twice today. Once while in our driveway and once while my wife was backing out of a parking space. The problem has not been reproduced as it is intermittent.

What owners say
Since delivery date of vehicle from dealer my vehicles navigation and stereo have not worked. I brought it in the service dept could not figure out what was wrong, they replaced the navigation and stereo and the problem still to this day exist. When this radio is on sometimes it freezes and the nav unit states the radio is off and other times it just stays on, volume increases on its own, cannot use touch screen, cannot change stations and then the lights on the dash go on and off and car shuts off. I have gone online and see that there are many other people reporting the same problem and when I take it to the dealer if it goes back to working the service dept tells me that they cannot diagnose the problem to keep driving it and bring it back. On sept 21 I brought it in to dealer and it shut off at dealer 3x's making them jump start it and I have once again received my car with no assurance that it works. They said the battery and computer test come back ok but they changed the battery in hopes that that will resolve the issue. It is 9/24/15 and same thing happened this morning. But since after 3 hours of trying to turn it back on it did and I cant go back to being without a car because I have a 2 year old daughter, have to work and know the dealer will say its working again I have to just pray it will not happen while on the road
During three hour night drive the dash display dimmed to black at interstate speeds. After an hour or so the panel lights came back on. After a few minutes they went out again. The next day during the return drive in daylight panel seemed normal.
Backed out of parking spot, upon shifting to drive, the rear view camera display was black except for two red lines. Drove about 60 feet then upon making a right turn I realized there was no throttle response. The engine continued to operate. Removed my foot from the throttle then reapplied my foot and the engine was then responsive to the throttle. The distance was approx. 20 feet and the time 10 seconds that the engine did not respond to the throttle. This car has many intermittent electrical problems, but this problem could be very serious in traffic.
Since I bought my 2013 honda accord ex-l in january 2013, I have had issues with stereo system. At times, the stereo will not turn on or it will turn on but the display screen is blank. Other times, "no disc" appears on the display when I turn the car on. I don't listen to cds, therefore, I never changed the source to play a cd. I only listen to xm. The dealer stated they cannot do anything to fix unless I bring the car in while the issue is happening. The issue is intermittent and never happens while near a dealer. I did receive a recall in april 2013 and took my car in for the stereo software update. Did not solve my issues.
