I was driving my vehicle and it began displaying messages that my collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control system, and lane keep assist system all have problems. Simultaneously, my backup camera has ceased working. This is causing my vehicle to randomly lurch forward without being propelled by me, which is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! All of these issues/codes began at the exact same time and it seems this is a widespread problem with Honda Accords manufactured around this year based on prior reports on this site, recalls to subsequent models, and other information publicly available on the internet. When will we get the same recall that has been offered to other models? My vehicle only has 58,000 miles and change on it. There's no reason for it to be functioning in this manner other than its defective manufacturing.
2017 Honda Accord electrical complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 155, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My issues started when I was driving right heahlight went out, after replacing the headlight bulb my car strated to have issues starting. One time you could turn it on and next time it will try to turn but light started to blick on the dash board. I tested battery twice with o'riley and honda and had 100%. Battery pc was replace and car was working fine for a few days. When I was going to work I notice ride side LED light was off half way and when I turn the car did notice right bulb was out and I had replace one side already. When I try to fix the bulb is did turn onas it seem that is was loose but then car turn off. After this incident battery was drain. This is just starting and might get to a stalling vehilce in the middle of the highway since it does seem it has electrical problems.
Rear backup camera stopped working at 130k miles
My rear view camera has been broken for about 2 years, it just completely stopped working. I took my car to the dealership and they confirmed my camera was defective and said that my extended warranty would cover it, I still haven’t taken it in to be fixed yet but I just wanted to report this issue.
Road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keep assist problem, collision mitigation system problem - lights all started to turn on in 2017 Honda Accord Touring. Took the car to the dealer. Was told that the entire SRS system has failed. The car was bought in 2017 brand new from the dealer and has never been in a car accident. Unclear why a five year old car is already having electrical system failure. Car won’t pass inspection and this is a $1000 repair.
The in dash stereo system with Bluetooth makes loud static noises, regardless of whether the stereo system is on or off. The static noise is extremely loud and unpleasant, and should be considered a safety hazard. The only way to make it stop is to pull the fuse for the head unit. Pulling the fuse makes the infotainment system turn off, which means I can no longer have access to backup camera or the trip computer.
Issue with charging system (B3 Check Charging System). Honda dealer ran full diagnostic test and inspection. Changed battery. Alternator, starter, and fuses inspected. Continue to receive error message stating check charging system.
The radio/GPS System began to static really loud on its on without me touching the dial. The only way it would stop is when I turned off the vehicle. Honda refused to acknowledge this safety hazard as a factory defect. According to my Internet search, it is a common phenomenon with this model but they want me to pay $1200 to replace the radio system 😩. Please investigate! Sad day for Honda.
FAILURE TO DISPLAY THE REARVIEW IMAGE. There is a recall for 2018 model Honda Accords. the federal safety agency Recall 18V‑629 This specific complaint is for 2013-2017 models as well. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111 - Rear visibility. Due to a software error, the center display assembly that normally displays the rearview image may not provide the rearview image when the vehicle is reversing. Failure to display the rearview image may reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Based on my research the same software bug is affecting the earlier models as well. There is a youtube video titled "2013 2017 honda accord backup not working" 17,512 views Posted Dec 19, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omSIamlD2ok Due to the unique nature of this issue the view count of this video is significant. The only reason someone would find and view this video is because they also have this problem.
Apple Car Play freezes up on the 2017 Honda Accord while the navigation is in play, distracting the driver while on the freeway. The driver does not know when this freeze happens until they miss their exit, causing a big distraction. These cars are being sold as compatible with the Apple phones, but this is not true. American Honda is aware of the problem. Nothing is being done.
The rear doors will not lock/unlock when using the keyless remote. I have replaced the rear doors actuators in June 2022 because the rear doors would not lock/unlock unless I manually locked/unlocked the doors which is a pain. Now not even two months later I am having the same issue with the front passenger door. This is not a cheap repair and there is too many complaints about this very issue not just occurring with the Accord.
Car shuts off while driving. Very dangerous could cause a wreck. Will not start back up for about 20 minutes.
On Thursday July 14, while driving on HWY 278, the car had a sudden failure and starting decelerating. It almost got me and my daughter who was riding with me at the time killed. Only the grace of God protected us!!! I managed to get the car to the Honda dealer (DCH Academy Honda #708, Old Bridge, NJ). They informed me that the fuel pump failed and needed to change. The problem appeared all of a sudden and there was no warning at all. The car is being maintained regularly. This seems to be a manufacturing problem in the fuel pump for Honda Accord 2017 and it needs to be addressed. Again this almost got me killed!!!!!!
The car is stalling on the highway out of nowhere. Car won’t start back up for about 20 minutes. Car completely shuts off during traffic. Almost caused a big wreck with an 18 wheeler because I was unable to move the car out the middle lane because it shut off. Causing false codes to pop up. Very dangerous situation with my three small children in the car.
My 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid was having an issue where several warning lights would light up on the dashboard, so I took it in to Auburn Honda, located at 1801 Grass Valley Hwy, Auburn, CA 95603, to get the car serviced under warranty. They made the necessary repair, which was the replacement of a battery component and I picked up the car on 2/2/21. After about 45 minutes of driving the car with no stops immediately after picking up the car, the warning lights returned and the car suddenly shut off. When I tried to restart the car, smoke billowed from the rear. Shortly thereafter, the entire car was engulfed in flames. This incident occurred more than a year ago and ever since I have been trying to get the proper individual or individuals to accept responsibility for this incredibly dangerous and costly incident, for which we have still received NO compensation. My insurance provider, Atlantic Casualty, and Auburn Honda's insurance provider, Federated Insurance, both sent out fire inspectors of their own accord and they concluded that the battery malfunctioning caused the fire. At this time, the car was at Auburn Honda and the inspection was conducted there. My most recent step and what has led me to file this complaint is that I made a claim months ago with American Honda Motor Corporation on the advice of Auburn Honda to find a resolution to this incident. They have been uncooperative and refuse to accept that the fire was caused by the battery. After the car was moved to a junk yard and almost a year had passed from the date of the incident, they sent out their own fire inspector who concluded that the cause of the fire was not the battery. This is on a car that has already been inspected and changed hands and locations several times at this point. They refuse to accept responsibility despite the fact that two independent fire inspectors already concluded that the cause WAS the battery, which is supplied and approved by American Honda Motor Corporation.
Charging system. New battery has been placed. Alternator checked & starter checked. Fuses checked. Car is still saying check charging system

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle inadvertently slowed down and stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed back to the local dealer where it was diagnosed there was a failure with the wires. Additionally, the engine fan and the other fuel pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000. Consumer stated faulty high pressure fuel pump was the cause of the engine stalling. Consumer has another 2017 Honda Accord that is exhibiting the same issue. Consumer has been informed by American Honda that consumer needs to have it diagnosed at a Honda Dealership.
I purchased the car new on 9/16/16. I have had to replace the battery 4 times and I have had several incidents where the car froze/stalled, especially on left hand turns, for no reason, causing several near-misses from oncoming traffic. This is the record of car issues reported: 4/25/17 @ 9,197 miles – “freeze” issue first reported to the dealer. I did my best to describe it as a loss of power/unable to accelerate through an intersection. Upon a test drive with the service tech, I was unable to re-enact the problem. The dealer could not find any cause for the failure. 10/5/17 @ 15,604 mi - 2nd “freeze” issue reported. Dealer replaced battery stating dead cell was noted and instructed me to keep it out of ECO mode. 3/1/18 - Complained to Dealer that the car was idling rough. Could not find cause. 7/26/18 @ 26,363 mi - 3rd freeze issue complaint, however, no recommendations made. Also complained about idle and vibration in steering wheel. Could not find cause. 5/3/19 @ 36,660 mi - New battery purchased @ Interstate. 2/8/21 @ 56,785 mi - Battery purchased @ Honda for $188. Interstate refunded the purchase price of the battery from 5/19. 3/14/22 @ 73,924 mi - Battery replaced @ Honda. Dealer stated they noted the starter was sticking and it was replaced for $758. I continue to have issues with the car losing power in the middle of a turn, particularly when turning left and have adjusted the collision detection sensor. There are no warning lights or other indicators that I'm losing power... it just happens. I have adjusted by not attempting a turn in the presence of oncoming traffic.
Rear camera not working blurry Only 31500 miles
I have continue to have issues with my navigation freezing. Then the whole navigation system will shut off and will eventually do a reboot in the middle of driving. It is definitely a safety hazard as you are trying to drive, navigate and try to figure out why your navigation system is breaking and not working working while driving. Especially If you are driving in an unfamiliar area using your navigation because you actually need it, then it becomes very frustrating and very dangerous and hazardous.
Positive and fused negative battery cables corrosion caused battery failure.
Daytime running burnt out.
Alternator failed at 35,106 miles-it was replaced at my expense
Back up camera stops working. 4 years of owner ship, 55,000 miles.
If the car sits idle for more than 4 days, the battery dies. The car has 60,000 miles and we are replaced the battery once and it continues to die if it sits for more than 4 days. The car pulls to the right side regardless of how many times I have it balanced. The LED day running light on the driver side front died when the car only had 50,000 miles on it.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated while entering and starting the vehicle, the front driver’s side and passenger’s side seat warmers activated inadvertently and remained on while the vehicle was in operation. The contact stated that the seat warmers were extremely hot to the point of melting the driver’s side front seat. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer to be inspected. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,933.
Backup camera quit working. Black screen when using reverse. Exceedingly common issue with these cars. Dangerous to pedestrians, especially children. Fuse is intact. Wiring is intact. No damage to camera.
Part number39530-t2a-a31 repair cost $550 honda designed a deficient plastic clip to hold the rear camera in place on the car trunk. After normal use opening and closing the trunk the clip breaks and the entire unit must be replaced. After 23,000 driven miles (44 months) the clip broke and I spent $550 to repair it. A google search makes it clear this is a widespread problem. I would like to request the government require honda to re-engineer the rear camera mount and offer a 10 year extended warranty.
Backup/reverse camera has failed. When the car is put into reverse, the in car monitor displays a black screen with yellow grid lines. Camera image is no longer displayed. Resetting camera settings to default does not correct the problem. This is a clear safety issue, especially around small children. Drivers have come to rely on backup cameras to detect small children and obstacles that cannot be seen with just the use of a rear view mirror. A cameras failure creates a clear and present dangerous when backing up. The vehicle in question is 6 months outside the manufacturers warranty and has less than 32k miles. The cameras failure this early in the vehicles lifecycle is indicative of a defect and not due to age. Additionally, honda camera failures are a known issue, subject to a recall, on 2018 honda accords. There is a likely possibility that the same cameras were installed in many 2017 honda accords.
