The Center Display Audio / Infotainment Touchscreen unit continuously fails. The component is available for inspection upon request, as it remains installed in the vehicle in its malfunctioning state. Safety severely compromised due to extreme driver distraction caused by the unit erratically flashing, cycling through menus, and emitting continuous, loud audible beeps while operating the vehicle in active traffic. Additionally, the malfunction regularly causes the screen to freeze, completely disabling the rearview backup camera display and preventing the visual display of critical advanced driver-assist safety alerts. Yes. The failure was officially reproduced and confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership during a dedicated diagnostic appointment. The technician confirmed the erratic screen input behavior but noted it is a known manufacturer defect. Yes, it was inspected by the manufacturer's authorized dealership network. Furthermore, the manufacturer has inspected and documented this specific component failure at a corporate engineering level, tracking the defect under Honda Tech Line Summary Article AATS31549. There were no vehicle warning lamps or diagnostic trouble messages on the instrument cluster. The primary symptoms were rapid, unprompted audio beeping sounds and sudden menu changes occurring without anyone touching the screen.

Vehicle: 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport (VIN: [XXX]) Dealer: Rauli Auto Import LLC (Paterson, NJ, License [XXX]) Odometer at Sale: 141,836 miles Description of Severe Safety Defect and Resulting Accident: On October 16, 2026, this 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid was purchased from a used car dealership. The vehicle was delivered to the consumer with severe, pre-existing, and undisclosed braking system defects that made the vehicle an immediate safety hazard on public roads. On [XXX], just days after taking delivery, the vehicle was brought to an independent, licensed mechanic (Mega Auto Diagnostic Inc., Invoice [XXX]) due to severe handling and braking concerns. Following a certified inspection, the licensed technician officially documented catastrophic pre-existing safety failures on the vehicle. The mechanic certified that the vehicle had an active engine leak, completely failed front brakes, and completely worn-down rear brakes and rotors. The dealership sold the vehicle in a hazardous condition without performing mandatory safety inspections. Days after the mechanic's diagnosis, while attempting to park the vehicle, the pre-existing braking system failure caused a complete braking malfunction. The brakes did not respond as intended to slow down the vehicle, causing the driver to lose stopping control and collide with another parked vehicle. Furthermore, the dealership provided completely incorrect, mismatched insurance policy paperwork at the time of sale. When the consumer contacted the insurance provider to process the accident, the insurer flagged a profile error due to the mismatched data entered by the dealer, leaving the driver completely exposed at the moment of the mechanical failure and collision. The dealership has reacted with hostility, verbally insulted the consumer, and refused to accept the surrender of this dangerously defective vehicle or unwind the sales contract INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am filing a complaint regarding a 2002 Honda Accord 2.0T purchased as a certified used vehicle in April 2026. The infotainment system is flawed and frequently malfunctions. I experience frequent, quick, sporadic display changes I am not commanding. The system will even turn itself back on after being turned off. These episodes continue for days and prove to be very distracting while operating the vehicle. I have contacted two different dealers in my area, both responded this is a "known issue" and Honda is no longer accepting warranty claims. I have contacted Honda corporate, received a response from an engineering contact which confirmed Honda is aware of the issues and does not have a solution. The vehicle is four years old this month, October 2026. It does not appear Honda is either actively pursuing a solution or willing to provide any type of financial compensation. Additionally, this vehicle is still covered by the certified warranty and extended warranty which cover electronics. Neither warranty is being honored for this issue. Judging from various online message board and social media accounts, this has been a widespread problem for owners of this and other Honda models manufactured during the same time. I determine this issue not only to be a safety hazard, but a breach of contract in reference to not honoring its two warranties. I have short video files of at least three instances I am able to share. Your site does not accept video files.

The vehicle infotainment system has known issues to Honda and is glitchy to the point that it’s distracting to drive the vehicle. The system locks frequently, glitches between applications, engages Car Play applications like Apple’s Siri, and constantly takes my attention away from the road to deal with these issues. This constant distraction puts myself, my passengers, and other drivers at risk. This problem first started to appear ~ 2 years ago and has gotten significantly worse over time. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a Honda dealership and no resolution has been offered.

The touchscreen infotainment display in my 2022 Honda Accord is malfunctioning and is available for inspection on request. For many months it has registered touches I never made ("phantom touch"). It changes screens on its own, cancels active GPS navigation, closes or switches other features, and presses buttons, including the voice command button, while I'm using other functions. Safety risk: Because the screen acts on its own while the car is moving, navigation drops out mid-route and the voice assistant activates unexpectedly. I have to look at the screen and fix it instead of watching the road, which is a serious distraction, or I am forced to look at my phone for continuing the GPS navigation because it is no longer registering on the display screen. Dealer confirmation: I have not yet taken it to a dealer, as the dealership that I purchased the car at said it would cost $228.00 just for the diagnostic. Other inspections: Not yet inspected by police or insurance. Warning signs: No warning lamps or messages appear. The only symptom is the erratic touch behavior, which first appeared around 2023 and has become more frequent. I have photos/video of the behavior available. This matches many other owner complaints about 2021-2022 Accords, and I believe it should be investigated as a defect and the repair should be covered for free as a recall.

The infotainment touchscreen in my 2022 Honda Accord Sport experiences phantom or ghost touches. The screen changes menus on its own without driver input. It switches audio sources, changes settings, interrupts Apple CarPlay, and becomes unresponsive to touch commands. The problem occurs while driving and causes significant driver distraction because I must look away from the road to determine what the system is doing. The issue affects navigation, phone functions, and audio controls. This is a known problem affecting many 2018-2022 Honda Accords. Honda has acknowledged similar ghost-touch symptoms in technical communications, but no recall has been issued. The defect creates a safety risk by diverting driver attention from the roadway.
