Unknown or Other · reported Nov 10, 2026

I was driving with my girlfriend. We were going to a place just outside of town. We heard a loud explosion. I thought my rear window had shattered at first. I looked back and saw that it was intact. I looked up and pulled the panel covering my sunroof back just a little bit. I saw that it was shattered. I closed the panel because I didnât want the shattered glass to fall on us. It happened suddenly and out of nowhere. It could have fallen on us if I had the panel open and the sunroof open. As I drove still in shock as to what happened the shattered glass flew back into the vehicles behind…

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.

Unknown or Other · reported Oct 15, 2026

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.

Service Brakes · reported Oct 2, 2026

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.
