On second week of February, 2026, I was driving my 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid from Elkridge, Maryland to North Beach, the car lost power with a flickering Check Engine Light on. I managed to drive between 25-30 MPH on 55 MPH Highway to my local Honda dealership. The diagnosed the lost power to HEAD GASKET failure. I did some research and found that NHTSA has issued a part collection on Head Gasket Failure on 2018-2022 Honda Accord Hybrid. The NHTSA ID: MC-11009200. I paid over $5,000 to replace the Head Gasket. I think these model years should be recalled.

Touch screen on console has lots of ghost-touches in warm weather operating conditions. The audio screen keeps switching from FM to USB MP3 player, and goes into settings or prompts for factory reset while driving, and without touching it. Also, Android AutoPlay navigation keeps jumping around on the map, and giving excessive warnings for next turn, without touching it. This is an EXTREME driver distraction, esp. while trying to use navigation. Local dealer was not able to reproduce in their shop on a cool day. They told me they had 12 other complaints of this issue, and no fix available from Honda, as of Oct. 2025.

The infotainment system in my 2022 Honda Accord poses a clear safety risk. After 2.5 years of ownership, it consistently glitches while using Apple CarPlay: the screen rapidly and uncontrollably clicks through apps, exits navigation or changes the windows within navigation, and even turns the radio on and off on its own. In this situation, which now occurs daily, the screen freezes and is unresponsive. I have to repetitively press the screen until it responds, which can take minutes. This forces my attention away from the road, particularly as I'm trying to navigate. It is distracting, frustrating, and dangerous. And -- this issue is not isolated to my Accord. Postings in online forums commonly point to this issue with the 2022 Accord. This has not been inspected by the manufacturer and it has not been confirmed by a dealer. However, I have a recording of the screen glitching and would be more than happy to share. Thank you for your time and consideration. A car’s main screen seizing control while driving is more than frustrating — it turns vital navigation into distraction and is a serious safety concern that Honda must resolve.

The infotainment system is ghosting. It changes and blanks out the screen randomly or when a phone call is received. It also will constantly beep when changing or shutting off the radio. This has been a known issue for Honda since 2017 and affects 2017-2023 Accords and Pilots. The dealer confirmed the issue through diagnostics but said Honda has no plans at this time to solve the problem. Also, the iPhone charger has never worked in the car and the Service Department at Serra Honda in O'Fallon, Illinois said there are no plans for Honda to fix the problem. These issues need to be corrected and the owners financially compensated for features that do not work and were sold to consumers knowingly by the manufacturer.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The infotainment touchscreen is malfunctioning. It registers false inputs “ghost touches” without any user interaction. Yes, the vehicle and affected screen are available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The ghost touches cause the screen to randomly change menus, activate or deactivate features, and make it difficult to use navigation, audio, and android auto with maps. This creates distraction while driving, as I have to focus on regaining control of the screen instead of the road, putting myself and others at risk. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The issue has not yet been officially confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, but it is recurring and can be demonstrated on demand. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The infotainment system has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or others. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or messages were displayed. The issue first appeared recently (8/2025) and has recurred intermittently since then.

The infotainment screen glitches out and selects options on the screen without human interaction. Whenever it starts doing this screen input disables making the screen extremely distracting while driving. During one of my trip, while I was driving on the highway, the screen started going crazy on it's own. First it cancelled my directions from google maps and kept switching out the screen to different apps by clicking on it's own. It was so distracting I had to pull over and turn off the car to reset the screen. It happens randomly so it's nearly impossible to reproduce to get it repaired under warranty.

I am reporting two safety-related issues with my 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid. 1. Head Gasket Failure At approximately 93,500 miles, the head gasket failed without any prior warning signs. The vehicle had been regularly maintained at Honda dealerships, with one service done by a third-party mechanic around 87,000 miles. There were no engine warning lights or coolant leak warnings before the incident. The engine temperature warning suddenly appeared while driving, and I immediately stopped the car. A Honda dealership confirmed the head gasket failure and quoted over $4,000 for repairs. This kind of major engine failure is highly unusual for such a new vehicle and raises serious concerns about long-term engine durability or possible design flaws in the cooling system or head gasket components. 2. False Activation of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) The vehicle’s automatic emergency braking system frequently activates or issues a warning while driving, even when there are no obstacles or vehicles nearby. This has happened multiple times and creates a sudden sense of panic, increasing the risk of being rear-ended or losing control of the vehicle. Both issues suggest potential safety defects in this model. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate whether similar complaints have been reported for the 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid, as these failures could pose significant safety risks.

Honda is using cheap brake pads/rotors on their cars. I was parked and went in reverse and the brake pads started squealing so loudly, something didn’t seem right. I’ve never heard this sound before and my family hasn’t either who’ve owned many cars before. I took it to the dealership and they were able to reproduce the sound. They said nothing could be done even though the brake pads are too thick. This seems to happen when it’s humid, raining or cold. The dealership didn’t really care but this seems like a hazard. I’ve read on forums and researched online that this is a very common issue and nothing is being done to fix it. A recall should be issue because this can be a road hazard.

The head unit touch screen beings to have "ghost" touches which start basically changing everything that's available on the screen. This has led to suddenly loud music being played, navigation being moved around, etc. This causes distractions constantly as it's completely unexpected. The unit offers no way to turn it completely off so you're stuck with it doing stuff randomly. There's also no physical buttons to control any of the functions on the screen. It's basically forcing you to try to get it to stop doing random actions while you're driving.

The vehicles touchscreen system malfunctions and begins “phantom touching” buttons all over the top area of the screen. This results in excessive distractions to the driver as it attempts to make phone calls, start and stop navigation, change radio stations or source, and has loud beeping noises on each “phantom touch.” There is no way to disable the touchscreen or turn it off so each time you drive, these excessive distractions occur and the only “remedy” offered by Honda is to force the consumer to pay over $1000 out of warranty to replace the component.

The Touch Screen Malfunctions. The hands-free functions and navigation functions cannot be accessed. The touch screen randomly switches from application-to-application beeping every time it does this. This occurs every 10-15 seconds. I believe this is a safety concern for 2 reasons. First, I travel with a 3 year old. The lack of navigation and hands-free calling presents a safety problem as I must look down to my phone in order to see where I need to go. I cannot receive or make a call without exiting the highway and stopping my vehicle. Second, the incessant beeping, and screens jumping around is very distracting. This is a known Honda Issue for a 2022 Honda Accord. Honda replaced the screen once. It worked properly for 5 months and the problem has recurred. The only recourse advised at this point was to contact you to make a report.

At approximately 9:20 a.m. on November 20, 2024 while driving at approximately 27 MPH the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) on my 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid activated, bringing my car to a near halt while driving on a clear road in perfect visibility. At the time of the incident there were three pedestrians and a dog present on the sidewalk approximately 5 feet to the right of the roadway. Traffic on this particular stretch of road was relatively light at the time of the incident. No collisions occurred, and no individuals were injured. However, on a normal day there will be numerous other vehicles driving in the same lane, which would likely result in a rear end collision should this problem recur. This incident occurred without any prior warning or other symptoms. The vehicle's CMBS has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer or any other parties.

2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Owner's Manual: It would seem that the owner's manual in this report I'm personally submitting isn't providing proper instructions to the public for changing motor oil. Motor oil is SCALDING HOT when not left to cool for long enough yet ALSO when improper gloves are used for changing the motor oil itself. Please see attachments: On page 545 where the specific title "Changing the Engine Oil and Oil Filter" begins, prior to entry number four, there are no instructions for any amount of time required for waiting for cooling the engine nor are there instructions about the heavy-duty gloves that should be used in the process of changing the oil. Entry number four states in plain language, "Remove the drain bolt and washer from the bottom of the engine, and drain the oil into a suitable container." --- This would be an EXTREMELY TERRIBLE standard to set for the public. Furthermore, there are no safety messages on either of those two pages that are specific to the "Danger", "Warning", or "Caution" safety messages that are seen towards the beginning of the owner's manual referenced above. I hope this does not resemble anything close to a wide-spread standard. In fact, it shouldn't be the standard anywhere. Please assist the public in providing proper screening for automobile owner's manuals such as these. Thank you. (Referenced incident date invalid due to data field parameters)

There have been multiple instances of the car slowing or braking while passing other vehicles on the highway. In some cases the emergency BRAKE alert shows on the dashboard and the vehicle brakes on its own. In ALL cases there was no hazard or reason to slow or brake. This occurs often but intermittently. It has occurred in rain, night, day, sun, or other various atmospheric conditions and there seems to be no correlation other than the ACC is engaged at the time and we're passing other vehicles that are on the right side of the car. In several cases, there are other vehicles behind us while passing and the "brake check" occurrences have caused those behind us to have to brake hard or swerve to avoid us. It also creates a terrible habit for the driver of my car of using the accelerator when the BRAKE light illuminates in order to not get hit from behind. The dealer was notified and checked the car and claims there are no issues with ACC or the sensors. This indicates that the system gain tuning my be faulty or too sensitive and that the dealers are not able to make any changes to fix the issue.

She went to brake, but the brakes did not respond. In order to avoid hitting another vehicle, she swerved and blew through the intersection.

I delayed my work, so I went to pick up my car on the morning of February 11. How often does this issue happen within a time frame (e.g.once a month)? This problem happens every day, and there will always be problems with the steering wheel as long as I start driving. I am now afraid of driving this problematic car. It does not give me safety. The car I bought last June has such a serious problem in the past seven months. Where is the reliability of Honda vehicles?

Forward Collision Avoidance › Warnings1 injured
Filed Feb 21, 2023NY

The Honda is equipped with a Collision Mitigation Braking System. Traveling at around 40 mph on a two lane road, one lane in each opposite direction, the orange brake warning light appeared on the dash. Simultaneously, the brakes were very forcefully applied as if there was going to be an unavoidable collision. There was nothing in front of the vehicle. I called the dealer where we purchased the Honda. The service rep said he had heard of other similar instances, asked what kind of road it was and said to see if it happened again on the same road. He knew of no known fix for the issue. My wife, who was in the back seat, and recently had 3 sections of her neck fused, is currently in a lot of pain. If the road had been a little slippery, all four in the car could have been seriously injured or worse. If there had been a vehicle close behind us, there is a good chance we would have been rear ended.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that an abnormal, rattling noise was coming from the rear end of the vehicle while depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. Over time, the failure worsened with an abnormal, screeching sound coming from the brake pedal. Additionally, there were several brake-related messages on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on multiple occasions and the contact was given the same information each time. The contact attempted to reach out to the manufacturer but was placed on indefinite hold. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Hello, I bought a new Honda Accord Hybrid from Schaumburg Honda, Illinois on 11/23/2022. Within one week of buying the car, the following error messages appeared on the dashboard with the Brake System light on 1.Adaptive Cruise Control Systems Problem See Dealer 2.Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem See Dealer 3.Road Departure Mitigation System Problem See Dealer I took my car to the dealer at Schaumburg Honda on 12/13/2022 and they inspected the car and said they did not find anything defective and reset the error codes. After one week, adding about 30 miles, I had the same error message displayed. I contacted Honda and raised a complaint – 13553020 reading this issue and on their advice, I had my car checked by a different dealer Valley Honda at Naperville on 12/27/2022. They did the same and drove the car for another 30 miles and the code was gone. Again after two weeks, the same error messages are on the dashboard. I stopped using the car as it was a safety hazard to dive with the brake system malfunctioning and updated Honda the same. The car has been used for daily commutes for work and driving within 40 miles per hour depending on the allowed speed limits. Even though this qualifies as a lemon car but Honda is declining and asking me to take it to the dealer again (3rd time). The defects of the car substantially impacted my ability to use the vehicle. The defects also rendered the vehicle unsafe for use. Regards [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDO

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
