What owners report
My Honda 2017 Accord Hybrid has begun emitting an incredibly loud static noise that persists for long periods of time. Waldorf Honda in Waldorf, MD, has refused to fix this known problem with this make/model of car. I can no longer drive with anyone in the car and have to wear noise-cancelling plugs just to go to work or do any kind of errands in the car.
The vehicles speakers plays a loud glitchy static like noise. It has to do with the Premium Amp and the Audio Unit. Can become too loud to hear emergency service vehicles coming by.
ABS, TIRE PRESSURE (FLASHING FOR 1ST MINUTE OR SO), POWER STEERING, & TRACTION CONTROL warning lights all came on. Points to ABS control unit failure. I had to panic stop the other day to avoid hitting a squirrel, & the wheels locked & the car skidded -- no ABS pulsing of the brakes. I understand this is a VERY common problem with these cars. There should be a recall.
This is the second tire of the four purchased in 2022 that have cracks in the sidewall (tread separation from sidewall). They are the Goodyear Assurance Maxlife 235/40R19 96V. No warning to the loss of tire pressure and the time it takes for the cracks to propagate. When I brought the first tire back to Sam's Club (where I originally purchased the tires), the replacement was prorated based on tire wear. No indication that there was a defect on the replaced tire, and more importantly, no inspection or concern that the replacement left three remaining defective tire on the vehicle.
Defective radio causing DEAFENING static sound even if radio is OFF. Louder when radio is ON! The volume control and power button has no effect on the static. The noise is so LOUD that drivers cannot hear sirens from emergency vehicles or the voice from navigation. Internet search shows many 2017-2017 Accord owners are effected by the same issue. video link: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
