Electrical Recalls (1)
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Honda Accord vehicles. The case for the battery sensor, part of the battery management system, may allow water to get in, potentially causing an electrical short.
Fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensor, free of charge. Dealers will perform an interim remedy of applying adhesive to the case to prevent water intrusion. The recall began November 8, 2017. Owners may contact American Honda Customer Support Center at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KG0.
Owner Complaints (170)
Your 2016 Honda Accord's engine stop/start system has shut down suddenly and without warning dozens of times while driving in traffic since September 2025, leaving you with no power to accelerate or control the vehicle. The problem has gotten worse over time and now includes repeated failures to start, requiring multiple tow trucks. A certified Honda dealer has visited five times but cannot find or fix the problem, and the vehicle continues to stall unexpectedly. Repairing this issue will likely require Honda to diagnose and replace faulty components in the engine stop/start and fuel system.

I am writing to bring urgent attention to a significant and concerning issue affecting the 2016 Honda Accord, specifically the audio head unit, which is causing severe static noise through the vehicle's speakers.

My vehicle started blaring static noise through all of my speakers even though the volume was turned off. I have found no remedy for this issue, and I've had to resort to wearing noise canceling headphones while driving. This is a MAJOR safety concern as the static noise is as high as my volume will reach, and there is no way to turn it off.

When the car reaches operating temperature slowly a static noise will creep over the speakers and then quickly cut out the audio input and put the speakers to full volume with waves of loud static. Turning off the stereo and turning down the volume does nothing to stop the static. The only way to stop it is to pull the radio fuse.

Your radio is producing loud, constant static at maximum volume that you can't control, even when you turn the radio off—it only stops when you shut off the entire vehicle. This disorienting noise appears to be caused by a faulty radio head unit. The fix will likely involve replacing the entire radio head unit.

During days when the temperature is warm, meaning above 70F, or the car in in direct sunlight, the speakers will produce a very loud, uncontrollable, static sound. This happens whether the radio/audio is on or fully powered off or whether the volume is on or fully off. It's is so loud that earplugs are required until the car is able to cool off enough for it to die down.
