2022 Honda Accord

What is considered the “infotainment center” is what Honda is calling “ghosting”. It randomly selects things or doesn’t work. It makes it impossible to use maps via this device taking out the safe option to use directions. It is also highly distracting while driving as it could be randomly calling someone and you’re desperately trying to make it hang up while it’s also not responding so you have to dig out your phone which is not something that you should be grabbing while driving. It falsely reports crashes and cops etc to Google Maps. It randomly chooses what it does or doesn’t want to do and when. It’s chaotic and concerning on top of removing the ability to safely map places. Other times it doesn’t respond at all. Video available as needed. Too large to upload

I am writing because I am having an ongoing problem with my car stereo ghosting. I understand it to be the digitizer that Honda is fully aware of. When I called to speak with the service manager at the Honda dealership where I purchased my Honda Accord from in 2022, along with a Honda Care warranty, I received a well rehearsed and scripted response about Honda being aware of the problem. I was told that the issues they are experiencing with ghosting is a software issue and not a hardware issue, and for that reason Honda is no longer replacing the touchscreen or making any attempt to resolve these issues. According to the service manager at Hendrick Honda of Charleston, Gary Hamilton, their dealership has been instructed to stop switching out the hardware, as switching out the hardware has only made the problem worse than it already is. When I bought the 100K Honda Care extended warranty, with my vehicle in 2022, the key selling point that the sales manager used to sell me the warranty was all the things that could potentially go wrong with the vehicle’s electronics, including the Infotainment system and car computer. This problem that I have been experiencing with my car audio is NOT a new problem and has gotten progressively worse as time goes on. Honda has been having this same problem with all 10th generation Honda Accords (2018-2022). I pay for a monthly/annual subscription to SiriusXM radio, which I can no longer seem to enjoy because the infotainment system repeatedly kicks me out and goes completely haywire on me. I have a video that I took over a period of approximately one week and I am prepared to exercise my rights to getting this problem rectified and resolved if necessary. I am seeking a class action lawyer who may be willing to file a class action suit against American Honda Motor Corporation. In exercising due diligence, I’ve learned that the problems I am experiencing are the exact same kinds of problems that Honda Care is designed to protect us from

The vehicle's infotainment touchscreen intermittently registers phantom/ghost touches without anyone touching the screen. It randomly changes radio stations, screens and functions. During these episodes the touchscreen becomes unresponsive to the driver's actual inputs. The problem is significantly worse when the vehicle interior/display is hot. This creates a significant driver distraction and prevents the driver from reliably controlling the infotainment system. The condition has been occurring repeatedly over approximately two years

The infotainment touchscreen in my 2022 Honda Accord is malfunctioning and repeatedly registering phantom or “ghost” touches without any input from me. While I am driving, the system unpredictably changes screens, changes radio stations and audio settings, interferes with phone/CarPlay functions, and makes selections on its own. The malfunction can happen suddenly and repeatedly while the vehicle is in motion. This is frightening and creates a serious driving distraction because the unexpected activity draws my attention away from the road and causes me to try to determine what the system is doing or correct unwanted selections. I am concerned that this unpredictable malfunction could contribute to a crash. There is no warning before it occurs, and I cannot reliably predict or control when it will happen. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I am seeking evaluation by an authorized Honda dealership. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this is a widespread safety-related defect because other owners have reported similar phantom-touch behavior.

The head gasket failed in the engine. Coolant leaked into the cylinder head causing the engine to overheat and put the driver at danger to immediate vehicle failure while driving. The problem was confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership. There were warning lamps that indicated engine overheating.

See attached document for complaint

1) incident 1: While changing lanes on an empty street emergency brake kicked in although there is vehicle in front or rear in adjacent lane. Incident date: 08/6/2026 2) incident 2: during snow time on a free way I75 towards airport. AEB kicked in multiple times. Environment Conditions: Snowing, Road is icy and vehicle was moving at 30mph. This situation was scary as we had vehicle in front and rear. If wouldn’t have intervened my car would be sandwiched between front and rear traffic cars. Incident date: Feb 2025

This ongoing problem, not related to an accident or single incident. The center console screen will jump around / glitch / freeze without being touched. These “ghost touches” go in and out of apps, make calls, switch between audio sources , many other unprompted things. This issue renders the center console screen almost unusable and downright unsafe to use. This is now the second screen in the vehicle with this problem. Honda was aware a replacement may not fix the problem but did it anyway. They are claiming there will be a total fix by March of 2027.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2022 Honda Accord. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 26,000; however, three days after retrieving a Carfax report, it was discovered that the mileage was 217,000.

Different codes started blanking after I got gas June 11, 2026. Soon as I cranked up it started flashing warnings. Emission system, brake system, sport mode doesn’t work, cruise control doesn’t work, check engine light on, tire pressure light on. I took it to midlands Honda on June 15, 2026. They told me turbocharger and need spark plugs based off mileage. I took it to oreily, they say it only scan the engine light code which is turbocharger. Started a claim with Honda support and they denied me based off my mileage for goodwill credit. Said they contacted dealership and it’s not a manufacturer issue so I have to fix it out of pocket. Warranty expired. They kept calling me weekly until August 4, 2026 (when they told me they denied me). On August 12, 2026 my trunk won’t open. I contacted them back and they told me I have to pay for the diagnostic again (almost 200.00) since it’s a separate issue. That’s crazy. It’s a whole group on social media where everybody having the same issue. Even some fixed the turbo and lights on dashboard still on. My turbo charger code can’t be the reason my trunk won’t open.

Today was the 4th time my vehicle breaked on its own without any reason. The prior breaking, I kinda shrugged off thinking it maybe sensed another vehicle and was being cautious. However, today I was traveling north hwy 11 and there was nothing in front of me. My car abruptly and violetly slammed on its breaks for no reason at all. The violent deceleration caused my head and neck to whip and my neck is still very sore along with headache. There was no vehicles, pedestrians or obstacles in front of the car. There was a car coming in the opposite direction but it was approximately 200-300 feet away. This almost caused me to crash and was very upsetting. There was no warning whatsoever for this extreme break. I am grateful that the car traveling behind me did not hit me or run off the road. It was very violent and scary. I was traveling at 55 mph when this occurred. Today is Saturday and I was not able to reach anyone at the dealerships service department but I will be contacting them Monday morning. Please advise as to what my options are. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that on four occasions while driving at various speeds, the pre-collision warning light activated, and the Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking activated and stopped the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Issues with the Infotainment System - the screen flickers and switches constantly while driving which is a distraction and safety issue. Honda has told us in the past that the issue was with the USB cord being used but that is not it. This issue now happens anytime, not just when the USB is connected. All of the following has occurred: unexpected screen flashing/flickering; phantom or uncontrolled touchscreen inputs; unexpected menu changes; changes to radio stations or audio sources; sudden volume changes or unexpected sounds; navigation changes, cancellation, or rerouting; unexpected phone calls; loss of Android Auto functionality; freezing or failure to respond to the driver's actual input; system restarting or turning itself on; interference with other vehicle settings. These behaviors can occur while the vehicle is moving or sitting still.

The entire monitor is experiencing "ghost touch" issues. While driving, the monitor rapidly changes screens beeping each time. It will throw you out of bluetooth into a random radio station. It switches from screen to screen beeping each time. It is extremely distracting while driving. In my opinion, the distraction is hazardous. It has been to dealer, I have also filed a case with Honda Case # 16523872). Dealer had it for 3 days, did nothing, said there are no parts available to fix it. They said sometimes this means Honda is working on a recall but they have no way of knowing for sure. Honda has NOT issued a recall. Honda Case Manager confirms they are "still working on it". This all started 6 weeks ago and car monitor continues to experience the "ghost touch" issue

The infotainment screen experiences “ghost touches” where random controls are pushed without a person actually touching it. It will switch views (maps to radio to settings), turn itself off and on, and becomes a major driver distraction and at times a safety hazard. Distraction? Quickly changing audio sources one after another. One second you hear map directions, then AM radio, Sirius XM, FM radio, etc…all changing rapidly. Safety hazard? Beyond the distraction, if one is using maps to navigate in the city, the system will leave maps to bounce to other views and sources leaving you with no directions or possibly delayed instructions. Honda has no fix. Dealer says if they can’t duplicate it they can’t do anything. This happens at very random times. A system reset can fix it temporarily, but it always comes back. A system reset requires you to stop, turn the vehicle off and know the exact convoluted procedure.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the infotainment screen had a ghost touch and the screen continued to glitch. The vehicle was difficult to drive with the distraction. The local dealer was contacted, and the audio unit was replaced, and the contact was informed that an unknown additional part was on back order. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact called two other local dealers, Tameron Honda Service (1675 Montgomery Hwy, Birmingham, AL 35216), and Edwards Honda (1813 Ensley Ave, Birmingham, AL 35218), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

My Honda Accord 2022 has a touchscreen in the center dashboard. Many times it will not register touches, and many times there will be phantom touches wherein the screen clicks randomly without anyone touching it.

I purchase this car December 5, 2022 within 1 year I started having problems with the infotainment system glitching, muting my calls, the radio station jumping from station to station all kinds on things going on ghost touches as people describe them. The Honda dealership has replaced the screen itself and something else within the system while under warranty . This did not fix the problem it continued. The last thing I was told by the dealership is they were waiting on Panasonic to come out with a system and that was that and I would have to deal with it basically. I reached out to the maker of Honda and there was also no help from them. Any advice? This is by far the worst Honda I’ve had and I’ve owned 3 of them. I also had to have the head replaced while under warranty because it started cracking badly, the other one was too but not as bad so they would not replace that one.

The radio has a ghost touch, dealer does not see it as a problem. I hope government do.
