Consumer Description

I have recently noticed my audio system has static even when it is turned off and when it's turned on, it get's worse. (The static noise is loud, it starts from the back speaker then works it's way to the front speakers) This just started at the end of December 2025 and it's increasing getting worse. I do not feel safe having my family in the car with me because the static noise is on going and can cause overstimulation. The only time I do not hear the audio static no more is when I completely shut my car off. I believe this needs to be recalled and fixed because this is a safety concern. I called Honda and they told me it's going to cost $205 dollars just for the diagnosed. This is outrageous. I have talked to other people I know and they have told me they are experiencing this with their vehicle as well.
