2022 Honda Accord — Known Issues & Recalls

Your check engine light came on indicating a misfire in cylinder 3, which you initially fixed by replacing spark plugs and coils. However, about a week later, your car lost power while accelerating uphill in traffic and wouldn't go faster than 20-25 mph, creating a dangerous situation. The dealership diagnosed a head gasket failure and possible engine block cracking, which would require extensive repairs costing around $7,000.

Your car experienced a head gasket failure, which caused you to lose power and control of the vehicle. All warning lamps illuminated simultaneously at the time of the failure. The dealer confirmed the diagnosis was a failed head gasket. Repair will likely involve removing the cylinder head and replacing the gasket.

Your engine's cylinder head developed a hairline crack that's causing coolant to leak out of your cooling system. A certified mechanic confirmed the crack, and losing coolant can cause your engine to overheat, potentially leading to fire or smoke — a serious safety risk. The dealership performed a teardown inspection that identified additional damage to the timing chain and head gasket, though you may want a second opinion since other owners report similar issues being misdiagnosed. Fixing this will likely require replacing the cracked cylinder head and possibly the head gasket and timing chain.

Your engine has a cracked cylinder head causing a coolant leak due to a faulty head gasket. This appears to be a known issue affecting multiple owners of this model. The engine will need the cylinder head inspected and the head gasket replaced to stop the leak.

Your car's engine is misfiring in cylinder 1, which is causing a noticeable loss of power when you drive. This happens when the spark plug in that cylinder isn't firing properly or the fuel isn't igniting as it should. The problem will likely require replacing the spark plug, ignition coil, or fuel injector for that cylinder.

Your infotainment screen frequently becomes unresponsive and glitches while driving and parked, causing distracting screen flashes and zooming that take your eyes off the road. The screen also makes random phone calls, ends calls unexpectedly, and fails to respond to touches while in reverse, preventing you from using the backup camera views. Some owners report that replacing the screen doesn't permanently fix the problem. The dealer may need to replace the infotainment display unit, though this may require reprogramming or a complete system replacement.

Your infotainment screen is responding to touches on its own, causing it to switch between screens without you touching it. This interferes with using GPS from your phone and causes the radio to turn off unexpectedly. You've tried resetting the system, but the problem persists. The issue may require a software update or replacement of the touchscreen display unit.

Your radio display randomly switches between stations and different screens without you touching anything, and the radio turns on by itself. This appears to be an electrical or software issue with your infotainment system. The fix may involve updating the radio's software, checking electrical connections, or replacing the radio unit.

Your 2022 Honda Accord experienced a serious electrical malfunction while driving. The engine wouldn't accelerate properly, multiple warning lights flashed on and off (including brake system and power steering warnings), and the collision avoidance system unexpectedly braked your car without warning—causing you to lose steering control, spin 180 degrees, and crash into a ditch where the front driver wheel detached. You sustained minor back injuries from the accident. The dealer diagnosed an electrical problem and performed a full system reset and tune-up, but the root cause was never identified. This repair will likely involve comprehensive electrical system diagnostics, software reprogramming, and replacement of any faulty sensors or wiring related to the safety systems.

Your vehicle's electrical system and forward collision avoidance system may be causing the engine to lose power and stall while driving. Warning signs started appearing about a year and a half ago. The dealership has inspected this multiple times and suggested unplugging the battery as a temporary workaround. Fixing this will likely require electrical diagnostics and possible replacement of faulty sensors or control modules.

Your car's collision warning system randomly activates when there are no vehicles or objects nearby, and it has now triggered emergency braking hard enough to almost stop your car on the highway at 75 mph. This false emergency braking could cause a rear-end collision if another vehicle is following you. The system needs to be diagnosed and recalibrated or replaced to prevent dangerous false braking events.

Your car's automatic emergency braking system is activating unexpectedly and slamming on the brakes even when there are no obstacles or other vehicles nearby—sometimes in heavy traffic, sometimes on empty roads. This happens repeatedly despite turning off the brake assist before each drive, and the system automatically turns itself back on while you're driving. In one incident at 45-50 mph, the sudden hard braking caused you physical injury from the seat belt and aggravated existing back problems.

Your 2022 Honda Accord is experiencing repeated engine misfire codes and loss of power, possibly due to fuel injector failure and coolant leaking into the engine. The problem has occurred despite regular maintenance and the engine has never overheated. A Honda service center noted they've repaired multiple Accord Sport 1.5 vehicles with the same issue pattern. This could require fuel injector replacement, head gasket repair, or engine rebuild depending on the root cause.

Your car is experiencing random misfires and repeatedly entering limp mode, which forces it to slow down to 20 mph without warning — this has happened twice while you were on the highway. You've replaced the spark plugs three times in six months, and the problem has worsened over the past month, with dashboard lights flashing erratically and occasional starting failures. The dealer has been unable to identify the root cause despite two visits. The underlying issue is putting excessive strain on your catalytic converter and other components, potentially leading to expensive repairs.

Your 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid's infotainment system is malfunctioning on its own while you drive, causing significant distraction. The screen acts as if it's being touched without anyone touching it, the radio turns on and off by itself, and apps switch randomly—and these problems have gotten worse over recent weeks. This requires professional diagnosis and repair of the infotainment system, likely including software updates or hardware replacement.

Your car's dashboard warning light indicated the engine temperature was near its limit, and you heard water sounds moving through the dashboard while driving, turning, or starting. The dealership confirmed this is a head gasket failure—the same issue affecting at least 20 other cars in their service department. Your car has been at the dealership for over a month and a half with no clear repair timeline due to the backlog of similar cases.

Your car started stalling and hesitating while driving, and the dashboard lights came on as if the engine wasn't receiving fuel — even though your fuel tank had gas. This happened initially on 2/18/26 and occurred again when you tried to drive the car later.

Your car's collision avoidance system is engaging the brakes unexpectedly when there are no vehicles around you, and this happens at various speeds. You've also noticed the car feels like it skids briefly when you press the brake pedal while driving at high speeds. This problem happens intermittently, making it hard to predict. Honda will need to diagnose the issue multiple times before opening a case to investigate further.

Your car won't start, and multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard—including brake hold system, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, electric power steering, and collision mitigation system warnings. You've tested the battery (12.5V is normal), performed a hard reset, and tried jumpstarting, but the problem persists. This suggests an electrical or software issue affecting multiple systems that will need dealer diagnosis.

All four of your tires are showing premature wear and chunking of the tread at just 29,200 miles, despite normal highway driving at speeds under 50 mph and proper maintenance. Your Honda dealership says this appears to be normal wear, but Michelin hasn't been helpful in resolving the issue. The tires may need to be replaced sooner than expected, which could involve purchasing a new set of tires and having them professionally installed and balanced.
