2017 HONDA ACCORD Electrical System Problems

ABS control module failed. It put me at risk because my car shut down on me while driving could have resulted in a car accident.

2017 Honda Accord Touring Model, once car heats up, radio begins to make a static noise that gradually gets louder until it gets to a point that is extremely loud. It is very distracting and damages hearing, making it difficult to drive, causing a serious driving hazard. It does not matter if the radio is on or off and turning the volume down does not help at all. Shutting the engine off and restarting the car is the only way to get it to stop.

Speakers produce full volume static, this loud static sound is unavoidable, it occurs randomly when the car is on and when the audio is on, but once it starts making static sounds, it won't stop. Source input also does not matter. Some observations I have made are that: •It is extremely cold in New Jersey and after the heater is on high for a while and when the car is warmed up it starts to make these unavoidable static sounds. •When the audio is turned off sometimes the static goes away but sometimes it stays even when the audio is turned off. •Once it starts making static sounds, even turning off the car and turning it back on with the audio off doesn't make the static sounds go away. Only when the car is off for a while and it gets cold again, it stops the static sounds. It is...

Numerous complaints and visits to the Honda dealer and phone calls to American Honda, About the stereo system in my 2017 Honda Accord, while driving the radios abruptly cuts off and starts making extremely loud static noise, even after turning the system off the static persists with no way to shut it off without having to turning the car off or pulling over to remove the fuse that powers the system. I try buying a new stereo system from the dealer at extremely high price but the radios have been on back order for over 2 years. And an after market system will be extremely labor intensive and having to make major modifications. I bought the car new and been driving the car without the radio for 2 years. Please help.

Car radio, and the upper screen on top of the car radio restarts at random times either when using it or not using it, CarPlay restart the radio as well the upper screen random times when it restarts as well as the radio will not show you current drive trip or fuel amount. It goes in and out and restarts. The whole system went to the dealership many times and they say they see nothing wrong. I’ve looked up online to see if I can find a way or see if any other people are having an issue and from what I looked up there are a lot of people with 2016s 2017 with the same issue. I am occurring this issue has been going on for years since I brought the car. I brought the car brand new out of the dealership. I’m taking it many times to the...

While pulling into a parking spot my car unexpectedly accelerated. Brakes were unresponsive even after placing both feet on the brake pedal. Vehicle stopped only after I hit a tree. Engine continued to rev at which point I placed the vehicle in park and shut off the engine. Although the impact of the crash was severe my 1airbag did not deploy.

The radio randomly starts playing deafening static noise, turning the volume down does nothing. It’s at random although hot day do exacerbate the issue. It’s really loud static noise. I can’t hear anything going on around me when driving and I can’t control the volume because it doesn’t change anything

My backup camera only shows black and the lines

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report a recurring and potentially dangerous issue with my 2017 Honda Accord EX-L. The vehicle emits sudden, extremely loud static and high-pitched noise from the speakers—often occurring in hot weather and even when the audio system is turned off. This unpredictable noise is not only startling but also prevents me from hearing surrounding traffic, horns, or emergency vehicles, significantly increasing the risk of an accident. It poses a serious distraction and safety hazard. I have found numerous similar complaints from other Honda owners online, indicating this may be a widespread issue. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this as a potential safety-related defect that may warrant a recall. I listed the date below around when this started occurring. It happens multiple times per week. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sporadically, and after driving at least 10 minutes continuously, a static sound begins out of my rear speakers and increases in volume quickly. It starts coming out of front speakers as well so that it appears to be coming out of all speakers and it is extremely loud. It is so loud that it sounds like I'm in front of a speaker at a concert, and it is hugely distracting while operating the vehicle. The audio is not on, the bluetooth is not connected, and there is no way to get the sound to stop. Even turning off and on the car does not stop it. This has happened 6 times in the last 3 weeks and it is so loud and distracting - bordering on deafening - that it is nearly impossible to continue driving the car. Online research indicates that others have had this issue as well. When...

I own a 2017 Honda Accord “Touring” model that has developed an intermittent audio problem (described below) that is a safety issue because it causes serious driver distraction and impatience to reach a destination to turn the car off. There is NO WAY for the driver to stop the problem without turning the car completely off. Despite numerous reports from others (documented below), Honda has not issued a recall. It is hoping that a “goodwill discount” of 40% or so (offered only if the owner knows to demand it) will prevent a recall. The ONLY fix is to have a Honda dealer replace the OEM “audio head unit”. Without the “goodwill discount”, the installed cost is $1,400 - $1,600 to fix a condition that is obviously out of warranty. The problem is that in hot (85+) weather, even with the audio system turned OFF, a modest “scratching” sound begins from...

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was an extremely loud, piercing distortion sound coming from the speakers. The contact stated that during the failure, the driver was unable to hear oncoming emergency vehicles or horns from other motorists. The contact stated that the loud noise was present while the radio was turned on and, while the radio was turned off. The radio was unplugged to eliminate the loud noise, causing the back-over prevention camera to become inoperable. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 108,000.

This is happening a couple of times a week now. With the audio system locking up while driving making for the audio volume to not be able to be adjusted. They audio system is locking up and there is no way to reset the system while driving. There is not always a place to stop and shut the car off then restart -which is how I have been dealing with this issue for many years now. Sometimes, I am on the highway in heavy traffic while this happens. It is a massive distraction having to listen to blaring commercials that have increased volumes that jars drivers' focus on the situation surrounding me. I have tried holding the power button down for over 5 straight minutes without anything helping. I have tried multiple buttons hoping for a reset... still nothing. Today, this happened again in heavy traffic without a place to...

The backup camera is no longer working on my vehicle. There was no recall when there was one for other Honda vehicles with the same issue.

Issues with the radio. Unbearable, ear piercing static coming from speakers. You can turn the volume all the way down and even power off the radio and it continues to have loud static coming from speakers. You have to pull over and turn the car off to stop the noise and alot of times it will not stop. There is no way to stop the noise. The car had this same issue when I bought it from a honda dealer. The dealer replaced the radio and 1 year later im having the same issue and the radio is 1 month out of warranty. I was quoted 1400 dollars for a new radio plus labor. Just doing a quick Google search, this seems to be a common problem with this year make and model vehicle. There are no recalls for the radio at this time. This is definitely a safety issue...

The audio system in my car has gone bust - there is a periodic loud static noise that blasts out of the speakers at maximum volume and can not be turned off, even by setting the audio power off. It was brought to the Honda dealership and confirmed the audio system. The noise is so loud and startling that it causes the driver to easily lose focus on the road. It can also be so unexpecting that it can cause sudden jolts in movement, endangering the roadway. When looking online, this seems to be a common issue with the 2017 accord model ex-l as there have been many forums of people posting their same complaints. To make matters worse, there are no after-market replacements that work with the ex-ls dual screen setup and getting the actual part is in indefinite back order. It appears that Honda simply wants us to...

Worst on hot days. Stereo will crackle and emit high decible, piercing, and inconsistent tones and static. Highly distracting. Only known "fix" is to turn off the car and wait for it to cool and hope it doesn't happen again. Typically starts in rear speakers. Will increase volume suddenly and without warning. Unable to hear traffic noises around vehicle. Turning off audio system does not work to fix it. Will happen on days 80 degrees or more. Full car sun shades did not prevent it from occuring. Numerous online incidents found.

MY BACK UP CAMERA WAS REPLACED IN 2018 DUE TO THE ORIGINAL ONE INSTALLED DURING THE MANUFACTURING STATE BEING DEFECTIVE AND GOING OUT WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. LAST YEAR MY CAMERA QUIT PROJECTING AN IMAGE ON THE SCREEN. I CAN ONLY SEE THE DIRECTIONAL LINES ON THE SCREEN WHEN IN REVERSE THAT CHANGE COLOR AND APPEARS TO WORK IF I AM OUT OF THE PARKING LINES AND THE SCREEN IS BLACK. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE CAMERA WILL FLASH AN IMAGE FOR A NANOSECOND ON THE SCREEN BEFORE GOING BLACK. I HAVE GONE TO HONDA REGARDING THIS BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VIN IS A 2017. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I AM UNABLE TO SEE WHEN BACKING OUT. PLEASE CONSIDER EXTENDING THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 2017 HONDA ACCORDS. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

Driver door and driver side rear door lock actuators both failed very untimely. Car has 55,000 miles on it and is garage kept and accident free. I needed to replace both components as the doors would not lock or unlock and posed an extreme safety hazard. Also the alternator needed to be replaced very untimely making me feel as though there are further electrical issues with this vehicle. I contacted Honda and have not received a response in over two weeks.

I had the radio replaced under warranty but the problem was never solved and only gave a 90day warranty on a refurbished unit. I complained about the refurbished unit and they refused to put a new unit under the waranty. Honda has known about the radio issue creating a very loud static pulsating noise thats unbearable and distracting while driving causing distraction and you would not even be able to hear an emergency vehicle or anything near you while this noise is pulsating at a very high decibels. This problem is all over the internet with people having issues with the very loud noise being distracting and unbearable. Seems this only happens on the hybrid touring model. There is a serious problem with this being a safety issue being very distracting and unbearable. I also get a noise warning exceeding the normal decibels required. I believe the radio is over...

Loud static noise from speakers When sound is off / muted , this is a concern to my safety because it’s completely loud making my ears hurt, not only that it’s very difficult to hear around my surroundings with this loud static noise playing, definitely not safe to drive and there is no way to turn it off unless I completely turn off the vehicle. It has not been inspected by anyone or dealership which is why I have made this report.

ABS module went out, from what I’m reading it’s a common issue among Hondas

The speakers and sound system emit a VERY loud static sound that is often accompanied by computerized sounds. It usually happens after I've been driving the vehicle for about 10-15 minutes. It seems to be coming from the head unit/radio unit, but the sound will continue even if I completely turn off the radio/sound system. It's so loud that it's often hard to concentrate and is going to damage my hearing if it persists. It started happening shortly after my car turned over to 100K miles. There are hundreds and maybe thousands of other Honda Accord owners who have posted online about this VERY same issue (usually 2017) and the Honda dealers recommend replacing the entire unit to the tune of $4-5,000. This is a manufacturer defect!! The ONLY thing that stops the noise is to pull over, turn the car off, and wait 10-15 minutes, but sometimes the sound...

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact heard an abnormal sound, and the infotainment system was intermittently inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The head unit and stereo system will play static non stop at the highest volume possible. Turning the radio off, the sound off, etc. nothing stops it. It is dangerous, you can not hear anything and it is extremely distracting. The static being played through all the speakers at top volume with no way to make it stop is not safe to be driving with and is liable to drive someone mad.

There appears to be a model-wide problem with 2017 Honda Accord audio system that manifests in screeching static noise through audio speakers (whether the radio is turned on or not) at decibels in excess of 100 (sounds like a lawnmower being operated inside a closed 4 door sedan). This noise comes with no warning (or waring lights) and shocks the senses that can cause erratic vehicle operation. Once the noise starts, it will last varying lengths of time that include in excess of 12 minutes. The only means to make it stop is by turning off the car, which is not easy or safe if highway driving. The screeching is so loud, it is impossible to hear emergency sirens or honking horns, making this a serious safety issue. This is also very distracting -- imagine a passenger screaming in your ear as loud as they can non-stop -- simply not...

There is a VERY loud noise, static-like noise that is coming from my speakers. It won't stop if I turn the stereo off. When the temperature is high from either the outside weather or the heater, it seems to happen then. It now does it all the time if I've been driving for about 20mins. Everything is stock in my car and not modified. There are no warning lights, I have not taken it in to have it looked at yet. I've read that others have had the exact same issue with this model.

My audio unit is BLARING STATIC NOISE AT THE HIGHEST DECIBEL LEVEL POSSIBLE

The car makes loud static noise that is distracting. The noise is sudden and does not go away by lowering the volume. This has bee a common safety hazard reported by many Honda Accord 9th generation owners. American Honda refuses to recall vehicles to solve this problem. Apparently, it is common knowledge that the audio/navigation head unit is the reson for this loud random static noise.

while driving 40 MPH, I was unable to hear the sirens of an emergency vehicle because there was a loud static noise coming through the speakers. Even, I already turned off audio. loud static noise still persisted. It will distract driver's attention. The failure was intermittent. I have sent my car to deal but they said they couldn't find the root cause. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that there was no recall on the VIN for the issue. The failure mileage was 68000.

Speakers are making loud static noise whenever the radio is turned on or off. After observation, the car does it quite often in heat, especially in Florida weather. It is now doing it in cooler temperatures. Now that there is permanent damage. Sometimes the loudness is very overwhelming. You’re not able to even hear yourself talk in the car. You’re not able to hear if someone is pressing their horn at you because of how loud the noises are. Honda hasn’t offered any solutions to the problem. I have called several times to report this issue. i’ve seen quite a number of people who are having the same issue as I am. There’s a forum on Reddit. There’s people on YouTube.This is an ongoing issue and it needs to be replaced or repaired. I was told by Honda that is an issue with the wiring of the car when the...

The speakers will blast static noise while driving even when the radio is turned off. The engine will need to be powered off to stop the noise. After powering on and driving again the static noise returns within 5 minutes. This is very distracting. This has been happening intermittently for over a month. The audio fuse can be removed to stop the noise from occurring. Unfortunately, this fuse also disables the backup camera and side camera, not an ideal fix. I have MP4 format video available that can be shared via Gmail Google drive.

Computer sensor, fuel pump, starter the car stalls while cranking and stalls while driving like it wants to shut off. The car wont go over 60 miles without skipping the engine and when the car stops the engine cuts off.

The audio unit on my 2107 Honda Accord will (seemingly) randomly produce loud, increasing static noise from the speakers that last from 5-10 minutes. There is no way to stop the noise other than to pull over and turn off the car. While that noise is happening nothing else can be heard, other traffic and especially emergency vehicles. This has not been confirmed by a dealer yet or inspected by anyone. (Many online forums bear witness to this problem) No warning lights appeared on the vehicle.

AC is not working on Honda Accord LX 2017. There is a refrigerant leak. Now the Defogger does not work causing safety issue while driving if the windsheild requires defogging. Honda dealer diagnosed that the AC Compressor is leaking from the shaft seal which cannot be repaired unless entire compressor is changed. Honda does have recall/extended warranty for AC Compressor Shaft Seal other models such as Civic and CRV but on Honda Accord 2017 Models they have not extended the warranty on Compressor Shaft Seal yet.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormally loud static noise would emit from the vehicle without warning. The contact stated that the failure would occur intermittently and that the contact would be forced to pull over and restart the vehicle for the failure to stop. As a result of the failure, the contact experienced a persistent ring noise in both ears, mainly the left ear. The contact sought medical treatment from a doctor and would use ear plugs while driving the vehicle to prevent further ear damage. The manufacturer was initially notified about the failure, the contact was informed that the manufacturer was aware of the failure but that a recall had yet to be placed on the vehicle. The manufacturer referred the contact to a local dealer for assistance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the...

The vehicle turn off and on while driving on the highway, is like the engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. I'm aware there's no recall on my vehicle, however, it's a known issue that Honda had voluntarily recall approximately 2.6 million 2017-2020 Honda vehicles in the United States to replace their fuel pumps, for free due to a similar issue. I have experience this issue of the vehicle shutting down then on while driving in the last couple of weeks and it's increasing each day. The accord was bought for my son to use, if he encounter an accident due to this fuel pump issue and he lose his life, someone would have to be held accountable.

Four lights appeared simultaneously in my dash. It drives fine, just had brakes and rotors replaced, have new tires, the dealership is saying it’s the ABS module that needs replaced and this part alone without labor costs $2200. I have researched and this is an extremely common issue with these Hondas. My vehicle has under 50,000 miles and is in great condition, it’s not feasible that this should be from wear and tear. And it’s occurring with many others of this model and a range of years of these with Honda.

I have a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid. The Audio System or Radio has now become dangerous. I filed a complaint with American Honda and they said I had to take it to the dealer for diagnostic and that no Recall or Technical Service Bulletin on my car Audio exists. I created a YouTube video to show the problem. I contacted my local Honda Dealer but they want me to pay a Diagnostic fee. It is over $190 to diagnose the Audio system and no guarantee to fix. Replacement is estimated to be around $2,000. American Honda Customer Service should waive the diagnosis fee or reimburse me for any such independent dealer diagnosis fee. Here is my Youtube video complaint link: [XXX] I am asking for Honda America to Pay for or Reimburse me for getting a Diagnostic on my Audio System from any independent Honda Dealer. I am asking that...

Abs, traction, eps, and brake lights stay on. This causes the traction and brakes not to work properly. Bought my car 10 months ago from Honda and this started about 3 months after. The solenoid is faulty and have heard from several other owners the same. This can be a serious problem for drivers. Part is not available from private auto stores. Only dealership which causes more concern and they should be held liable for components that fault in breaking the vehicle. 2017 Honda accord. Was inspected by Honda on purchase 2023 is what they say. Took in for a oil change 2024 and they do full inspection for free and when I brought it up they said they didn't check it with all lights on.

Speakers or Audio system. Randomly the speakers will get static or noise that comes through it with nothing plugged into it (USB or Bluetooth) and the radio can be off even. Safety issue that it gets progressively louder to the point where at hard to stay in car and drive it. Have to stop the car, turn it off and turn it on to keep driving but the sound returns if driving for more then 10 min. This might be issue that others having as well with 2016-2017 models. Below is link to audio from someone else that had similar issue [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle ABS malfunctioning making some dashboard lights come on. A bunch of random codes in the readers makes it hard to identify the issue. Codes are not specific and a bunch of other components need to be tested/replaced before realizing the actual main issue causing the owner spend a ridiculous amount of money and time. Only dissappear if ABS module is replaced which is hard to find(up to two years of wait) unless bought used which also comes with the same risk of failing prematurely. This problem messes up with the vehicle traction in raw weather conditions, as well as braking, steering, and overall safety of the occupants.

I had noticed a couple of weeks ago that I would try and start the car and it was struggling to start. Two weeks ago I tried to turn on my car and it would not start. I had to jump start it. I went out to run errands. I tried turning the car on again and it would not start. Once again I had to jump start it. Thinking it was the battery, I took it to O'Reilly's since it was still under warranty. The battery was good. They told me to take the car to run a scan. The scan showed no issues with the car. I googled what was happening to my car and I saw it's a common issue with these cars. Since the time I bought the car, I have already had to replace the battery 4 times which is odd because batteries last about...

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the display screen flashed and turned off. The contact also stated that there was a whining sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 86,000.

this system is malfunctioning and braked suddenly twice and I almost got rear ended. now the system is not working and the dealer at diamond honda wont repair.

Carplay freezes or disconnects randomly when in use. Will be driving with navigation is frozen so would be driving past destination and cause a distraction trying to fix it. Or it will randomly disconnect when in use and will keep my eyes of road trying to connect it again or hold my phone while navigating. Honda states there is no update to the system to resolve it or anything they can do, directs people to phone company regarding their system. Phone company states they cant do anything about it. Have read multiple forums with others complaining and no solution.

2017 Honda Accord EX-L 4 Door Sedan 4 Cylinder 2.4L While driving my car I noticed shaking then my car dropped down to 10mph on the highway. when I pressed the pedal to speed up my car started jerking and did not go any faster. all the lights came on my dashboard including ABS. Me and my child safety was at risk because i was doing 10mph on a 45mph highway. we could have been hit. I took my car to the dealer they told me I'm not the only one having this problem with the ABS module and the part is on back order. So that mean there is a defect in the part that's why they cant get everybody need it. I brought it to the dealer they told me its nothing they can do. Not even test the part. i had a message about vehicle stability. maybe...

Abs module failed. Abs pump failed. Wheels locked on highway almost lost control.
