My Honda 2017 Accord Hybrid has begun emitting an incredibly loud static noise that persists for long periods of time. Waldorf Honda in Waldorf, MD, has refused to fix this known problem with this make/model of car. I can no longer drive with anyone in the car and have to wear noise-cancelling plugs just to go to work or do any kind of errands in the car.

The vehicles speakers plays a loud glitchy static like noise. It has to do with the Premium Amp and the Audio Unit. Can become too loud to hear emergency service vehicles coming by.

ABS, TIRE PRESSURE (FLASHING FOR 1ST MINUTE OR SO), POWER STEERING, & TRACTION CONTROL warning lights all came on. Points to ABS control unit failure. I had to panic stop the other day to avoid hitting a squirrel, & the wheels locked & the car skidded -- no ABS pulsing of the brakes. I understand this is a VERY common problem with these cars. There should be a recall.

This is the second tire of the four purchased in 2022 that have cracks in the sidewall (tread separation from sidewall). They are the Goodyear Assurance Maxlife 235/40R19 96V. No warning to the loss of tire pressure and the time it takes for the cracks to propagate. When I brought the first tire back to Sam's Club (where I originally purchased the tires), the replacement was prorated based on tire wear. No indication that there was a defect on the replaced tire, and more importantly, no inspection or concern that the replacement left three remaining defective tire on the vehicle.

Defective radio causing DEAFENING static sound even if radio is OFF. Louder when radio is ON! The volume control and power button has no effect on the static. The noise is so LOUD that drivers cannot hear sirens from emergency vehicles or the voice from navigation. Internet search shows many 2017-2017 Accord owners are effected by the same issue. video link: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN- My speedometer is off by 5 miles per hour. Think I'm going the correct speed in a school zone and find out it's not reading correctly. Got a device to check it and sure enough it's off. ELECTRICAL- This is the second time my GPS screen/radio has been replaced due to the fact that I am a Realtor and I use this a lot to find the homes my clients want to see. The screen goes dark, the music goes loud, you can't turn it down, screen freezes etc. Or using the GPS and I receive a phone call and the screen goes black. So I find it hard to believe it was the radio when the new one is doing the exact same thing. The first time this happened I believe was around Dec 2025 and now it's doing it again. It started again this year but I unfortunately broke my ankle and this car situation was not my top priority.. I have contacted the dealer and plan on bringing it back to them when Pete from Clear Lake Honda gets back from out of town but again, it wasn't a faulty radio and it wasn't a gum wrapper if I have a new radio doing the exact same thing as well as the electrical doing the exact same thing. ELECTRICAL- This is the second time my electrical went out. The first time and the second time are the same. Automatic lights don't come on at night and I learned that the hard way. Key fobs don't work to unlock and lock the doors, anything with the electrical system. I was told the first time, oh, it was a gum wrapper in the fuse box area. There has been nobody under the hood of my car so I highly doubt it was a gum wrapper if the same thing is happening again.

The car radio / infotainment system caused dangerously loud, painful, pulsating static noise to play from all speakers. The noise starts at a lower decibel and gets louder to the point where conversation is impossible. High pitched digital noise is also present and creates additional, painful damage to hearing. Driver concentration is severely impacted and situational awareness is affected due to not being able to hear cars, engines, sirens, or other traffic related noises while driving. No warning lamps or other indicators are present. Upon inspection, the problem can be mitigated by pulling the fuse to the system rendering it inoperable. It cannot be turned off otherwise. Noise will occur even if the radio is turned off.

Very loud static across multiple speakers, often independent of radio volume with intermittent static through multiple speakers even when muted or off. I can't hear sirens or emergency vehicles. I can't hear anything except loud static. This is a safety hazard. I read comments about this being a common issue with 2016/2017 Honda Accords XL and higher. This is a factory/manufacturer's defect. There should be a recall so customers don't have a $1400 expense for replacement. Unable to upload video of very loud static noise.
