2016 Honda Accord

I am having an issue with the ABS/VSA module for my vehicle. The ABS, VSA, Brake and EPS lights illuminate on the dashboard randomly. I took my car to a Honda service center and I was informed that the module needed to be replaced at the cost of over $3000 for the module and another $500 for the labor. I was told that this is a common issue with Honda Accord from 2013 - 2017 model years.

Was leaving for work got off to open gate and car turned off on its own. Power steering bacame hard and won’t turn on.

The vehicle is a 2016 Honda Accord Coupe. The exact failed component is UNKNOWN, but the malfunction appears to involve the vehicle’s audio system, amplifier, Active Noise Cancellation system, or a related electrical/audio component. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. When the vehicle is started, the audio system initially operates normally. After approximately one minute, a loud abnormal/distorted noise begins coming through the vehicle’s speakers. The noise continues even when the audio volume is turned all the way down to zero and also continues when the infotainment/audio system is turned off. Because the noise is not controlled by the normal audio volume or infotainment controls, I am concerned that the malfunction may be occurring elsewhere in the vehicle’s audio or electrical system. The sudden and persistent noise creates a safety concern because it occurs while I’m driving and startles and distracts me from safely operating the vehicle. The exact cause of the malfunction has not been confirmed. The problem has not yet been reproduced or diagnosed by a Honda dealer or independent service center. The vehicle/component has not been inspected by Honda, police, insurance representatives, or another outside party in connection with this problem. There were no warning lamps or dashboard warning messages before the malfunction. The primary symptom is that the audio initially functions normally and then the abnormal noise begins approximately one minute after startup. The noise persists regardless of the audio volume setting and even when the infotainment system is turned off. I have video documentation showing the malfunction, including the abnormal noise continuing with the audio volume at zero and with the infotainment system turned off. The video is available upon request. The exact defective component and cause are UNKNOWN at this time.

1-The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) / active collision avoidance system failed. Warning lights are actively displayed on the dashboard indicating that the SRS and collision mitigation systems are disabled/malfunctioning. The vehicle is parked and available for inspection upon request 2- Because the SRS / collision safety system is completely non-functional, the primary driver and passengers are operating a vehicle where airbags and active restraint systems may fail to deploy during a crash, presenting an immediate safety risk on public roads. 3-Yes. The safety defect was identified, but the selling dealership refused to provide assistance or perform the necessary repairs to resolve the active safety defect. 4-The vehicle issue was reported directly to the selling dealership, but they failed to complete repairs. Additionally, a formal complaint has been filed and opened with the State DMV Vehicle Safety Complaint Unit to investigate the unroadworthy condition of the vehicle. 5-SRS and collision system warning indicators appeared on the dashboard. Upon inspecting repair options, the vehicle warranty company confirmed that SRS/collision system components are strictly excluded from coverage, leaving an unaddressed safety defect. 1. Attempted Warranty Repair: Contacted the extended warranty provider, who formally denied coverage because SRS and collision systems are excluded under the policy terms.  2. Contacted Selling Dealership: Reached out directly to the dealership to address the unroadworthy SRS safety fault; the dealer remained non-responsive and failed to resolve the issue.  3. Escalated to State DMV: Opened an official case with the state DMV Vehicle Safety Complaint Unit regarding the selling of a vehicle with an active, unaddressed SRS safety defect.  4. Escalated to Financing Lender (Credit Acceptance): Sent formal notice to the auto loan holder requesting assistance or escalation; the lender refused to assist

The Daytime Running lights are only half effective/lit. Apparently, Honda extended the warranty, but notified owners by regular mail and I did not receive it. Now, they claim the extended warranty (ten years) has run out, but I had noticed about half the LED strip was not working for about 2 or three years now. Too bad Honda chose to mail regular notices and is now using that as cover for not replacing my lights.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INFOTAINMENT HEAD UNIT / AUDIO AMPLIFIER. While driving my 2016 Honda Accord, the vehicle's infotainment head unit and factory audio amplifier suffered a sudden, catastrophic hardware failure. Without warning or driver input, the audio system emitted an explosive, deafening static screech at maximum volume (estimated at 85–90 decibels).This unexpected, extreme noise triggered an immediate startle response, nearly causing a loss of vehicle control on a busy road. The infotainment head unit completely locked up; the power button, volume knob, and steering wheel controls were entirely unresponsive. Anything can trigger this static response such as connecting to Bluetooth using the radio using navigation system, etc. The only way to stop the deafening noise was to abruptly pull over into a hazardous roadside situation and cycle the vehicle's ignition.Furthermore, this hardware failure caused the internal components to overheat, resulting in a complete blackout of the touchscreen. This caused a total loss of federally mandated safety equipment, specifically the backup camera and the passenger-side LaneWatch blind-spot camera. The extreme, uncontrolled volume of the static screech also completely masked external ambient sounds, preventing me from hearing emergency sirens, police horns, or surrounding traffic. This is a severe, recurring safety defect that causes dangerous driver distraction, disables critical visibility features, and cannot be mitigated while the vehicle is in motion.

STEREO SPEAKERS MAKE A LOUD STATIC UNCONCONTROLLABLE SOUND EVEN WHEN THE STEREO IS OFF. THE SOUND IS DEBILITATING, YOU CANNOT HEAR ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE SUCH AS EMERGENCY VEHICLES. THE STATIC SOUND GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER WHICH CAUSE AN OVERWHELMING FEELING AS YOU CANNOT CONTROL IT UNTIL YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF.

My 2016 Honda Accord Touring has an intermittent failure of multiple Honda Sensing safety systems. The vehicle displays warnings for Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping Assist System. When this occurs, these driver-assistance and collision-avoidance features become unavailable. This is a recurring problem. In August 2023, an authorized Honda dealer diagnosed substantially similar symptoms. The technician documented DTC P2583-87, described on the repair order as “lost comm with the wave radar.” The dealer removed the bumper, tested wiring between the radar and camera, checked radar power and ground, and diagnosed a faulty millimeter-wave radar unit. The Honda dealer replaced the radar assembly with part 36802-T2A-A05 and performed radar aiming/calibration. The repair order states that normal operation was restored. I paid 1,422.08 for the repair and related charges. The problem has now returned and is intermittent. At times all systems work normally; at other times the multiple Honda Sensing warnings appear together and the safety systems become unavailable. I am concerned that a previously replaced and calibrated Honda millimeter-wave radar/safety system has experienced a recurring failure. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue and similar complaints to determine whether a safety-related defect exists.

While driving the vehicle all of the speakers started making a very loud noise and vibrating the entire car. Radio controls wouldn't stop the noise and it was very difficult to focus on driving with the sound so loud. The only way to stop the noise was to pull over and turn car off. Radio controls had no impact. This doesn't happen all the time just randomly. The noise is so loud I'm concerned it could cause a safety concern if another member of my family is driving. I have seen many reports of this being a known issue with model of my car but dealer won't do anything. The ear popping noise occurs with no warning while driving, severely distracting the driver.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN INTO MY FIELD OF VIEW, BLOCKS VIEW.

A very loud static noise occurs about 5 minutes after I start driving every single day now. The radio is usually not on or either it's very low. Most of the time, this occurs when temperatures are elevated, however, it's starting to happen no matter how warm it is outside. This is very very unsafe because sometimes the sound is so loud that I cannot hear what is going on around me and/or potential issues that might occur while driving the vehicle. No messages or warning lights have come on since this has been happening.

The radio outputs very loud static whether the radio is on or off. The static is so loud that it is difficult to hear emergency vehicles. Yes, dealerships have recreated the noise. There are no warning lights or sounds and seems to happen when the temperature is very hot.

A loud static sound has been sporadically coming out of my 2016 Honda Accord, which startled me and my daughter while driving a couple of times while driving. This sound appears to come out of the speakers; we turn off the stereo system, and the sound continues. It is very dangerous, as the sound is extremely loud; it has happened out of nowhere while driving. This has been happening for a couple of months last time it happened was 8/30 that I could not drive as teh sound was too loud. Please help, as this could cause an accident due to the unexpectedly loud sound, as it distracts and disorients the driver and passengers in the vehicle.

Have had ongoing issues with audio display dashboard crashes. And also AirPlay not working. The are videos all over the in the internet about these issues, including YouTube videos. This is not isolated. The concern is that while driving or using airplay map directions for example the unit disconnects and thus creates distractions while driving. This is unnecessary and surely can cause accidents. Here a link with over 40,000 views. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

For the last few months I have had an intermittent issue with my 2016 ex-l v6 accord. It started as occasional stalling at traffic lights. The car would stall out, and after about 20 seconds I could turn the car back on, and drive without issues. Sometimes the issue would repeat itself multiple times in a day, and then go weeks without another instance. Then one day I was driving the car and had another stalling event. I had the car towed to the Honda dealership and they were unable to replicate or diagnose the issue. A few weeks later, I had another stalling event. I turned the car back on, and was able to continue driving. I got on to the interstate, and then even though the car was still on, when I push the gas, nothing happened, no acceleration or increase in RPMs. When I pulled over, the car would stall out. I would wait about a minute and turn it back on, and it would be drivable. This happened about four times. Then as I was headed into the tunnel, the car shut off entirely, and I lost power braking completely. I nearly got into an accident with the vehicles in front of me inside the tunnel at highway speeds. This was Father's day, June 21, 2026. I pulled off the interstate, and had the car towed to the dealership again. The dealership was unable to find any issues. The problem happened again today (08/19/26). I was driving the vehicle and was unable to accelerate while pushing the gas, and had multiple stallouts in traffic. I was able to quickly get the vehicle to the dealership, and they finally were to able replicate the issue. They pulled fuel from the fuel line and found it to be much darker than gasoline, with sediment inside. They pulled off the fuel pump and saw that the filter was clogged, but did not fully understand why. The filter is attached directly to the pump itself. The uploaded image is the fuel they pulled from the line.

The OEM audio/navigation system in my 2016 Honda Accord is emitting extremely loud static from all speakers after 10 minutes of the engine on. This occurs even when the audio system is turned off. It is extremely distracting while driving as there is no way to make it stop. I had the Honda dealership look at it today, they just say it is an internal problem. The internet and YouTube is full of people with the exact same issue, from the same year range of Honda cars. There was no warning, it just started one day.

When the outside temperature rises, even with sun visor coverage, the vehicle starts making a weird screeching high pitch noise. You can unplug the car chargers turn off radio, and it still continues, very daunting and dangerous, unable to hear paramedics siren until visible. Unable to have toddler in vehicle noise is loud, Apple Watch states noise decibel too loud.

The stereo/infotainment system starts making an extremely loud static sound which comes through the speakers. It can be ear piercing at times. Sometimes this triggers the infotainmnet system controls not to work. I have to stop the car, turn off the engine and open the door to hopefully reset the system. This can be extremely dangerous in traffic.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the ABS, traction control, air sensor, hand brake, and a steering wheel with an exclamation mark warning light were illuminated. The contact stated that the battery was replaced to fix the issues; however, several days later the warning lights returned. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V418000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the VIN was not included in the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 138,647.

Vehicle experienced sudden loss of power/stalling while driving due to a failing fuel pump assembly. This mirrors the exact safety risks of NHTSA Recall 19V060000, but my 4-cylinder VIN is currently excluded. It also matches NHSTA recall# 23V-858 derailed L4 2.4L Accords but still my vin is excluded.
