I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L with not even 62,000 miles. When we purchased the car we got the extended warranty, thinking Honda would stand by their product. Not true. After the first month we had to have the battery replaced. Fast forward a few years and we were told we needed a new battery”wire harness” at a cost of over $2,000. Now it is 2025 and the backup camera only works when the turn signal is used; it remains a black screen when put into reverse. Add to that what is apparently a major problem with other Honda owners. When we go to start the car, we get nothing. The CAR DOESN’T START. Thinking that the key fob needed a battery, we replaced them with new batteries. It continues to be a problem. I have a fear I will be out one day and it will not start completely. I see that I am not the only person complaining of this and feel that Honda should issue a recall for the Accord addressing this problem. I feel that I may become stranded one day and this seems to be a SAFETY ISSUE.

The rear view camera turns Black when put in reverse.

Honda lanewatch which is a camera-based assist that projects a live feed of the vehicle's right-side blind spot on the car's infotainment screen, stopped working. Car distance markings still appear but the camera feed has gone black/there is no live feed. Similar issue is with reverse camera. There is no live image upon entering in reverse gear, the camera feed has gone black.
Backup camera shows black screen while reversing. Intermittent failure at first, the completely died. When the vehicle was put it reverse the camera screen with guide lines displayed, but no image was visible.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda accord. The contact stated that while reversing out of the driveway at 2-3 MPH, the rear view camera became inoperable. The contact took the vehicle to huntington honda (1055 e jericho turnpike, huntington, ny 11743) where the dealer informed the contact that it was probably a short circuit. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact informed the manufacturer of the failure, and the manufacturer opened a case for the failure. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign number: 20v440000 (electrical system, back over prevention) and the federal safety agency campaign number: 20v439000 (back over prevention, electrical system ) however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 36,300.
Been having electrical problems since we got the car. Year 3 we needed new starter, new back up camera. This year driver's window would work only work some of the time. In june when I started all the dashboard lights came on with ABS system power failure warning. It would go on and off as I drove. Then the car started jerking as it was driven and finally stayed on and was on everytime we started. Needs a new modulator-control unit which is $1,400 and has been backordered since mid june. Haven't been able to drive car, and I can't renew registration because it won't pass va safety inspection.
Rear view camera does not have an image on front screen. Grid lines are there. Side mirror camera is ok.
My accord's backup camera stopped working, for no apparent reason. The screen is showing multi-angle, but no picture. The car was in reverse, of course, when I noticed it. Talking to the honda dealership, was of course surprised.
Rear view camera display suddenly stopped working. Guidelines are there but no rear picture. Dealer says its a bad camera but may be a ploy to mak some money.
