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.

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.

this has been on going and was intermittant but recently it is constantly occurring: while driving the radio/speakers emit and incredibly loud static/interference sound. it i so loud in fact, the speakers sound like theyre going to blow. i am unable to stop the sound, the volume button nor power button stop the sound. turning the car off then on doesnt stop it either. the sound is so loud and distracting, it is not safe. i have MANY videos of the occurrences but no photos (since you cant hear the incidents via photo). please contact me for these.

While driving the factory installed infotainment/audio system suddenly emits an extremely loud .piercing .high amplitude static sound through the speakers. It comes random and happens even if the radio is on or off. I think it is a safety hazard. Turning off the power button will not work. The loud noise continues until you turn off the ignition. This is unacceptable. Catches you off guard and distracts your driving. I have not taken it in because it is not any recalls on it. I have googled it and saw that several people are complaining about the same thing. I feel like this needs to be a recall on because Honda has been knowing about this for several years. It don't warn you that anything is going on or happening.
