Screen or infotainment failure by model year
What owners say
2016 Honda Accord EX-L coupe radio display panel went blank, including screen above main panel. There appears to be no power to panel, cameras thus I can not turn on radio, use Map which at times can be critical and all panel features are unavailable due to dead panel. The safety lane changing camera and back up camera do not work. Not sure what caused this. Fuses appear ok.
On a daily or several days/wk basis, either 1) the "Navigation Screen" will freeze in displaying the map the driver is using OR 2) both the "Audio/Information Screen" & the "Navigation Screen" will go blank (displaying only a solid black screen). In problem #1, the driver is distracted & disrupted from continually viewing the road to first confirm whether the map image is frozen as suspected (e.g., pressing buttons). In both Problems #1 & #2, the driver is further distracted & disrupted from continually viewing the road in order to try to reset the system (e.g., pressing buttons, disconnecting & reconnecting a smartphone). Finally, in both Problems #1 & #2, if a soft reset is not successful, in order to regain navigational functionality, the driver must either a) if at a stop sign/light or b) pull off the roadway to (e.g., on to a shoulder) turn the vehicle off & on again to trigger a hard reset.
Backup camera is showing a black screen with yellow outline.
Infotainment system freezing freezes or goes blank while using iphone to navigate. Occurs with both google and apple maps. Resolving often requires waiting 10 plus minutes or turning car off and restarting it.
Since I got the car in 2016 the radio has been freezing then going completely black while driving. My battery has died multiple times without leaving anything on or open. I'm currently sitting in the parking lot after just starting my car and moving it to another parking spot, came back to start my car and go home and the battery was faintly trying to start and then completely died. My car won't start and the radio screen is white. Now is making a clicking sound without touching anything.
Radio display went blank after 2.5 years unable to see radio clock a d back up camera or phone information when bluetooth is connected system stopped working when I was driving on the highway in december. Occasionally when driving I see green blue red lines go across the display screen. Is there a recall?
When starting the vehicle, first time for the day, top and bottom center display touch screens went black and there is no functionality of any of the associated functions: no navigation, no blue tooth, no back-up camera, no side view camera when turning. This is a repeated issue. Does not reset.
