The stationary window on the back passenger side shattered while the car was parked in the driveway on a very hot day. There did not appear to be any single point of contact. The glass was uniformly shattered. First off—I took the car to the dealer and they didnt even bother to look at it and said I would have to file a claim with Honda which I did. Then the dealer said the window must have been struck by a rock by looking at a few pictures that I submitted and Honda customer representative ghosted me and wouldn’t answer when I called or return VMs. There were fine glass splinters on the inside of the car from the window which would be a safety issue.
2022 Honda Accord Hybrid complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2022 record →
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while attempting to move the vehicle from the parking space the vehicle failed to move. The contact made several attempts to start the vehicle and then waited for approximately an hour before the vehicle finally started as intended. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 17 MPH. The contact stated the vehicle was decelerating while attempting to accelerate above 17 MPH. The braking system, adaptive cruise control, collision system braking, road departure mitigation system, low speed braking control, and electric power steering warning lights were illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,800.
Multiple instance of the car providing "BRAKE" annunciation, rapid deceleration, and brake application at highway speeds when passing vehicles. Often happens when passing semi trucks, but not limited to them. Several instances this rapid and unexpected brake application has required driver action to avoid rear-end collisions with the car behind who may be following too closely. Unable to completely turn off the CMBS system, must be done per drive. With that system turned off the braking application is expectedly absent during these events, but the car will still provide a rapid deceleration (as if a driver took their foot off the accelerator pedal) but without brake application which also has been problematic for cars following. Local dealer confirmed that the system is functioning without warnings or errors, no recalls are active for the car, and the alignment and function of all related sensors are per the manufacturer. Dealer claims they are unable to reproduce the issue.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle was independently braking. The contact stated that the Lane Departure warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact stated that he experienced the failure on 5 separate occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
Purchased car on 11-30-21. Three (3) times, most recently 3-5-22, while making a lane change from a single lane to multiple lanes on a right curve, the vehicle has suddenly decelerated and the braking system came on. Fortunately, no one was behind me on any of the three (3) occurrences. The vehicle did not come to a complete stop. Speed at time of each incident was around 45 mph and the vehicle slowed to under 30 mph abruptly.
Reading these
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
