On October 12, 2026, my 2024 Honda Accord Sport-L Hybrid experienced a serious and potentially dangerous loss of propulsion while driving. Without warning, multiple warning lights and system malfunction messages appeared simultaneously on the dashboard. The vehicle then switched to electric-only (EV) operation, and the gasoline engine was no longer providing propulsion. I continued operating the vehicle using the remaining hybrid battery charge. As the battery charge decreased from approximately 1â2 bars to empty, the vehicle lost its ability to propel itself and eventually came to a rolling stop. After stopping, I turned the vehicle off and restarted it. The vehicle subsequently resumed…

Car went into a power on-power off sequence after leaving from a stop sign. After 4 or 5 of these on-off sequences it acted normally and hasn't repeated. There was minimal traffic at the time so no damage to report, but it could be really dangerous.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed into a parking space, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to stop. The vehicle unintendedly accelerated and drove over a parking space bump. The contact shifted the transmission into reverse(R) and depressed the accelerator pedal, and then the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to stop. The contact turned the steering wheel while driving approximately 30-40 MPH to avoid crashing in other vehicles and structures in the parking lot. The vehicle reversed in circles and crashed into the side of a fence before it came to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. The contact…

The steering in my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid gets sticky. It resists movement making small adjustments, especially on the highway. It gets worse the longer that I drive but then goes away if I stop the car (like at a rest stop) but then reappears soon after. After my 2nd complaint to the dealership, the service manager states that he took it on a one hour drive and didn't experience the same issue. I called the dealership on 10/30/2025 stating that the problem seems to be getting worse. They said that they couldn't do anything unless they can recreate the issue, but could not offer me a loaner vehicle while they have my car. At times, knowing that the steering is electronically controlled, I…

Wiring harness failed randomly at 42,000 with no damage to the harness, engine, or vehicle itself. Without the wiring harness the engine does not run properly and shakes violently, causing the car to lose power. This happened with no prior warnings, problems, or damage. Additionally the steering rack seems âlooseâ and changes direction quite quickly when hitting a pothole or uneven roads even at lower speeds. I have to make sure I constantly have a firm grip on the wheel so no sudden unexpected direction changes occur due to imperfections in the road.

Steering rack clunking on every turn of the wheel. Common problem being reported online, Honda does do replacements but often dealers will fight over the severity of the problem. A brand new vehicle should not have steering problems.

I was sitting in my car, and the entire steering and brake system went offline and the car had a bunch of hazard lights on and said to tow to a dealership. I tested the steering, and didnât feel the wheels turn with the steering wheel, and the brakes went to the floor. When I went to shut off my car, it did the emergency shut-off (press 2xs or hold for 3 seconds). I attempted to restart the car about 4 times that night, and then I let it sit and tried it again 2 more times before having it towed to the dealership. The dealership stated they received the car and everything was suddenly fine and there were no code history, and they could not tell me the issue. Prior to this, the only issue…
