2017 Honda Accord

The car is stalling on the highway out of nowhere. Car won’t start back up for about 20 minutes. Car completely shuts off during traffic. Almost caused a big wreck with an 18 wheeler because I was unable to move the car out the middle lane because it shut off. Causing false codes to pop up. Very dangerous situation with my three small children in the car.

There is a recall for 2018 model Honda Accords. NHTSA Recall 18V-629 This specific complaint is for 2013-2017 models as well. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111 - Rear visibility. Due to a software error, the center display assembly that normally displays the rearview image may not provide the rearview image when the vehicle is reversing. Failure to display the rearview image may reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Based on my research the same software bug is affecting the earlier models as well As of today 5/3/2022 there is a youtube video titled "2013 2017 honda accord backup not working" 17,512 views Posted Dec 19, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omSIamlD2ok Due to the unique nature of this issue the view count of this video is significant. The only reason someone would find and view this video is because they also have this problem.

I purchased the car new on 9/16/16. I have had to replace the battery 4 times and I have had several incidents where the car froze/stalled, especially on left hand turns, for no reason, causing several near-misses from oncoming traffic. This is the record of car issues reported: 4/25/17 @ 9,197 miles – “freeze” issue first reported to the dealer. I did my best to describe it as a loss of power/unable to accelerate through an intersection. Upon a test drive with the service tech, I was unable to re-enact the problem. The dealer could not find any cause for the failure. 10/5/17 @ 15,604 mi - 2nd “freeze” issue reported. Dealer replaced battery stating dead cell was noted and instructed me to keep it out of ECO mode. 3/1/18 - Complained to Dealer that the car was idling rough. Could not find cause. 7/26/18 @ 26,363 mi - 3rd freeze issue complaint, however, no recommendations made. Also complained about idle and vibration in steering wheel. Could not find cause. 5/3/19 @ 36,660 mi - New battery purchased @ Interstate. 2/8/21 @ 56,785 mi - Battery purchased @ Honda for $188. Interstate refunded the purchase price of the battery from 5/19. 3/14/22 @ 73,924 mi - Battery replaced @ Honda. Dealer stated they noted the starter was sticking and it was replaced for $758. I continue to have issues with the car losing power in the middle of a turn, particularly when turning left and have adjusted the collision detection sensor. There are no warning lights or other indicators that I'm losing power... it just happens. I have adjusted by not attempting a turn in the presence of oncoming traffic.

I have continue to have issues with my navigation freezing. Then the whole navigation system will shut off and will eventually do a reboot in the middle of driving. It is definitely a safety hazard as you are trying to drive, navigate and try to figure out why your navigation system is breaking and not working working while driving. Especially If you are driving in an unfamiliar area using your navigation because you actually need it, then it becomes very frustrating and very dangerous and hazardous.

My 2017 Accord infotainment system's Apple carplay constantly freezes whenever I use it. This is posing as a safety risk because the infotainment unit would randomly freeze up and require shutting off the car and turning it back on in order for it to work again. There are multiple people experiencing this. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2016-2017-honda-accord-carplay-issues.2287310/ https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/2016-accord-ex-l-apple-carplay-screen-freezes.554208/page-3#post-6821377

REAR-BACKUP CAMERA WENT BLACK AFTER I DROVE CAR TO PICK UP SON AT FRIENDS HOUSE AT NIGHT CAMERA WORKED, PARKED CAR OVERNIGHT, WENT TO USE CAR NEXT MORNING REAR CAMERA INOP, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUSE SO I CHECKED FUSE, NOT BLOWN.TOOK CAR IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS LATER STATED IT WAS P&A DUE TO FAILURE, EST. AT OVER $700 TO REPLACE. VERY UNHAPPY SINCE CAR IS ONLY 4YRS OLD AND ONLY 40K MILES. HOW DO HONDA OWNERS KNOW THAT THIS YEAR CAMERA WAS NOT AFFECTED LIKE THE RECALL ON THE 2018'S. WHAT IF SOME 2017'S HAD THE DEFECTIVE CAMERAS INSTALLED, SO I CALLED HONDA WAS TOLD NO RECALL ON CAMERA, BROUGHT UP THE 2018/ RECALL TO THE REP AND SHE STATED THIS DID NOT AFFECT MY VIN#. I WAS NOT SATISFIED AND WANTED THIS ISSUE TO BE REVIEWED SINCE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE CAMERA. I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE HONDA SHOULD RECTIFY DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE RECALLS ON OVER THOUSAND OF OTHER CAMERAS IN THEIR OTHER VEHICLES. HONDA SHOULD STAND BY THE OEM PARTS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE AND CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING REAR CAMERAS THAT STOP WORKING. THIS IS A MULTI-DOLLAR INDUSTRY BECAUSE OF THE EVERYDAY PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THAT PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AND THAT IS WHY I FEEL HONDA SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THEY DRIVERS AND OTHERS AROUND THEM AND ADD 2017 MODELS TO THEIR RECALL LIST INSTEAD OF MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY TO AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX AN ISSUE WITH HONDA PARTS. HONDA NEEDS TO STAND BY THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THEIR PARTS AND VEHICLES JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS AND MAKE IT RIGHT TO THE CONSUMER. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WHERE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHILE TURNING AND ACCELERATING, TOOK IT IN AND DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, MADE IT SEEM LIKE THEY WERE DOING ME A FAVOR TO REPLACE IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES WHEN IN FACT IT WAS A RECALL ON MY VIN#. IT HAS BEEN FIXED, DID I GET A LEMON?
