2025 Honda Accord problems

Filed Nov 4, 2026 · Steering · NC

The steering seems to get really sticky and jumpy at highway speeds, anything 40 and over. It gets worse as the car warms up. It makes its virtually impossible to keep the steering straight, resulting in a bunch of back and forth lane bouncing.

On 11/2/2026 around 3 pm was driving down highway when sunroof blew out. nothing hit the car and was not near any overpass. luckily i was able to grab the visor and prevent it from ripping open which would of cause more glass to enter the driving compartment. need to speak with dealership no warning signs prior to explosion.

My 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid is experiencing the exact mechanical binding, momentary resistance, and "sticky steering" symptoms outlined in Recall 24V‑744 (and TSB 23-037), but my VIN was excluded from the initial recall wave. The issue first began within the first 10,000 miles of driving and has progressively worsened, now severely impacting the vehicle at 18,000 miles. The sticking and mechanical catching are noticeably worse in fall and winter during colder ambient temperatures. The vehicle exhibits momentary catch-and-release resistance when attempting small steering corrections, creating an unsafe driving experience.

When I was attempting to pull into a parking space in a parking lot, the vehicle suddenly and without warning accelerated. It jumped over the curb, sideswiped a pylon, and rolled over. I had no control of the car and was terrified. I needed to be extricated from the vehicle by first responders. It was fortunate that the pylon stopped the vehicle, otherwise the car would have kept going, possibly into oncoming traffic and myself and others could have been seriously injured. I have advised Honda and am waiting for a response. A police report was filed and I am waiting for a copy of that as well.

I was driving steadily on the freeway in slow moving traffic at 20-30 miles and had a lot of distance between me and the car in front. There was a sudden jolt and it appeared the vehicle was attempting to brake unexpectedly. If my foot had not been on the accelerator, I believe the vehicle could have come to a sudden, complete stop, potentially causing the vehicle behind me to rear end my car. Several months, before this incident, the Collision Mitigation Braking System and Lane Assist warning alerts would sound while I was driving on the freeway. This happened at two separate times. The sudden alarms are startling, and I cannot safely read the dashboard messages while driving. I am forced to slow down or pull over to check what is wrong, creating additional safety risks. I have a scheduled appointment with the Dealer this weekend due to the sudden braking however, I've brought this issue up with the service department in the past with the warning lights and they don't seem to have a definitive answer as to what is causing it. I have less than 20,000 miles on this vehicle.

The vehicle exhibits physical steering wheel freeplay/backlash at dead center, noticeable at all speeds but most critical during highway driving. While parked, the steering wheel can be moved slightly in both directions with zero corresponding movement from the front tires. This mechanical slack requires constant micro-adjustments on the highway to keep the vehicle tracking straight in its lane, creating a constant driver distraction and safety hazard."

I am reporting multiple recurring safety concerns involving my 2025 Honda Accord, including apparent electronic parking brake malfunctions, Auto Brake Hold failures, electrical system warnings, violent engine restarts, and a possible battery or charging-system defect. While stopped in traffic, particularly when the Auto Idle Stop system shuts off and restarts the engine, my vehicle sometimes experiences an unusually violent shaking or jerking motion. The restart can feel like a sudden, forceful kick. During these episodes, the electronic parking brake appears to engage unexpectedly without my manually activating it. Multiple dashboard warning lights and messages intermittently illuminate, including Brake System Problem, Brake Hold warnings, and other braking-related alerts. I have also experienced braking-related warnings or abnormal operation when traveling on inclines. The warning indicators sometimes disappear afterward, but the problems recur. I am concerned that these malfunctions could interfere with normal braking, acceleration, or vehicle control, particularly in traffic or on hills, creating a collision risk. Additionally, an AAA roadside assistance technician advised me that my vehicle’s battery appeared to be leaking fluid and needed replacement. A subsequent battery check at an auto parts store did not identify the same concern. I have repeatedly noticed a strong rotten-egg, sulfur, or sewage-like odor near the front of the vehicle and entering the passenger compartment through the air-conditioning vents. Another occupant independently noticed the foul odor. I am concerned about possible battery overheating, charging-system malfunction, electrical faults, and potentially hazardous fumes entering the cabin. The exact cause of these recurring problems has not been determined. I am requesting that these braking, electrical, engine restart, and ventilation-related safety concerns be investigated. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

In XXX, the driver assistance and safety systems on my 2025 Honda Accord SE began failing repeatedly. While driving, warning messages would appear for the collision mitigation braking system, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams, and these systems would become unavailable. This happened multiple times over XXX and XXX . I took the vehicle to Hugh White Honda in [XXX], four to five times for this problem. The dealer replaced the forward-facing camera twice under warranty, but the warnings and system failures continued after each repair. The dealer was never able to identify or fix the underlying cause. I filed a complaint with American Honda on XXX (case XXX). Because the safety systems on a nearly new vehicle could not be repaired, I traded the vehicle in on XXX, with approximately 17,000 miles. No crash or injuries occurred, but the vehicle repeatedly lost the use of its collision avoidance and lane keeping safety systems in normal driving, and the manufacturer could not repair the defect.

When driving at any speed, the steering will feel like it sticks or jerk when making small adjustments.
