2019 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID Unknown Or Other Problems

Active Noise Cancellation unit not functioning properly. At 52 MPH till passing 56 MPH the audio system creates a loud (gradual buildup) whirring noise followed by a boom before it stops. It can be very distractive and dangerous in the right conditions, as it can be misinterpreted as traffic next to or approaching the vehicle causing a short notice distraction while at a high speed. It is a reoccurring incident every time the vehicle is driven and only getting worse. Honda is aware of the issue since there is a service bulletin 921-053) released in June 2021 but has not notified any of its customers who drive an Accord. The model over several years has had this problem.

Dealership refuses to process recall for fuel pump associated with my vehicle. Paragon Honda 57-06 31st Ave, Woodside, NY 11377

We received a notice on 2/16/24 for the fuel pump impeller recall, and we called the dealership and they said we have to wait until early Fall to call them back. We called back many times and have continually been told to call back. It's now 2/3 way through fall and our car still has not been fixed and we're still being told to wait and call back. On your website it states to file a complaint online if the manufacturer is unable to remedy this in a “timely manner” and this is the only form we could find to submit a complaint. It’s been almost a year since the recall started on December 18, 2023 and almost 9 months since we got the notice in the mail, and our car is still not fixed.

There is an issue going on in which the door lock actuators within the Door Latch Assembly are failing. This issue happened to my vehicle and through a Google search you can see that it's happening to several others. Because of this issue, the doors of the vehicle will not open via remote unlock, only via manual insertion of the key and physically unlocking the other doors. In a situation where you need to quickly enter your vehicle, this is very problematic. Additionally, if I choose to remote start the vehicle, as soon as I use the physical key to unlock the driver side door, the vehicle turns off essentially negating the remote start. I went to the dealership and used the diagnostic device to determine that these devices were failing electronically and I had to have both of my left side assemblies replaced at a high cost.

The malfunctioning component is the electronic door lock system of my 2019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid, specifically the driver's side door. This problem persists and is available for inspection. The failure of this system posed a safety risk as it prevents secure access and egress from the vehicle. I was unable to unlock my vehicle using the electronic key fob or the interior lock/unlock button, which could pose a problem in emergency situations where quick exit from the vehicle is required. The problem has been reproduced over a period of 6-8 weeks, with the issue becoming consistent and isolated to the driver's side door. The issue has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet, nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. My car has recently aged out of warranty and given the experiences of others online, I don't have the money to hand over to the dealer for diagnostic fees with zero resolution. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the issue's occurrence. It started sporadically, sometimes affecting different doors, but in recent weeks, it has been a consistent problem with the driver's door. This problem isn't exclusive to my vehicle. I've read online forums where others, even with different models of Honda Accords, have encountered similar issues, suggesting this could be a common issue across certain models. One person described a similar, erratic door lock behavior where the failure would switch from door to door. It was speculated that the issue could be either software-related or potentially a faulty relay that couldn't supply power to all the actuators simultaneously. Given these circumstances, I think it's crucial to investigate this matter further, as it poses both a security and safety risk for Honda Accord users.

There is a humming noise that randomly Started on my brand new Honda Accord. A lot of individuals are having the same issue online and Honda refuses to consider it their problem. It has something to do with the Either noise canceling microphone not being glued on or their Bluetooth microphone. This is ridiculous that my vehicle which is brand new is starting to have issues and Honda does not take ownership of their issue when obviously it isn’t due to anything other than part being defective…

I have a 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. I hear a very loud humming noise coming from the underside (both sides) of the car when I am driving between 50 and 55mph. It gets increasingly louder for a 5 - 10 second span, then goes away completely. It is more prevalent when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat and repeats when I am in that speed range, especially while going around a curve. It has not resulted in any handling issues yet, but I do not know what is being affected.

THE NOISE ISSUE HAS THESE FEATURES: 1. IT IS INTERMITTENT. IT COMES OUT RANDOMLY ON HIGHWAY, AND MAY CONTINUE FOR A FEW RANDOM SECONDS, THEN GOES AWAY. 2. IT IS LOW-FREQUENCY AND DOESN'T CHANGE. AS A COMPARISON, IT IS LOWER THAN 2500RPM ENGINE SOUND. 3. IT IS LOUDNESS-VARYING. EACH TIME IT COMES OUT WITH LITTLE LOUDNESS, BUT THEN INCREASES FOR THE NEXT FEW SECONDS TO AN UNCOMFORTABLE LEVEL. IT MAY STAY QUIET, OR INCREASE TO ANY LOUDNESS LEVEL BEFORE IT GOES AWAY. 4. IT IS MOSTLY DESCRIBED AS HUMMING NOISE. HOWEVER, IN MY OPINION NOT QUITE THE SAME AS ENGINE SOUND I HAVE HAD THIS NOISE FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS. THIS NOISE TENDS TO COME ON AT AROUND 52-54 MPH, IT INCREASES IN LOUDNESS AND THEN PROMPTLY GOES AWAY. IT IS NOT ALWAYS REPRODUCEABLE AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. THEY NOTATE IT AND SEND ME ON MY WAY SAYING THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE SOUND. I HAVE RECORDED THE SOUND AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME UNLESS THEY CAN REPRODUCE IT. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MAY BE SOMETHING SERIOUS?

AT 2000 RPM WITH THE CAR IN MOTION THE ANC UNIT SETS UP A HARMONIC DRONE THAT IS VIRTUALLY DEAFENING AND UNSAFE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AS OF YET AND THE DEALERS ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE SATISFACTION TO THE CUSTOMER.

IN WINTER: FOR THE FIRST 25 MINUTES ALL THE VENTS BLOW WARM AIR. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES, THE REAR VENTS AT THE BACK OF THE CENTER CONSOLE START BLOWING COLD AIR ONTO THE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS. IF THE CAR SITS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE VENTS BLOW WARM AIR; BUT AFTER IT STARTS DRIVING, THE REAR VENTS BLOW COLD AIR AGAIN. WHENEVER I HAVE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS, I HAVE TO CLOSE THE REAR VENTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED A MEANINGLESS ANSWER THAT THE HEAT WORKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WINTERS I HAVE HAD THE CAR.

VERY LOUD ROARING NOISE WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH IN COLD WEATHER ON A HIGHWAY. THIS NOT ENGINE NOISE, BUT SEEMS TO A GLITCH IN THE AUTOMATIC NOISE CANCELLING SYSTEM THAT CAUSES A FEEDBACK LOOP RESULTING IN AN ALARMING ROARING SOUND THAT CAN CAUSE DRIVER TO PANIC OR OTHERWISE BE DISTRACTED FROM DRIVING SAFELY.

LOUD HUMMING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT 52MPH. HAD SPEAKERS REPLACED WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM WITH NOISE CANCELLATION SITUATION THAT WOULD CORRECT THE LOUD HUMMING NOISE BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. STILL HAVE LOUD HUMMING NOISE AT 52 MPH.

ON JULY 7TH, 2020 I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT MY EMPLOYERS. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I COASTED INTO THE PARKING SPOT. THE AUTO SUDDENLY LURCHED, ACCELERATED, JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT A BRICK WALL. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. THE WALL IS WHAT STOPPED THE AUTO. I REPORTED THIS TO HONDA. THEY EVALUATED THE AUTO AND FOUND NO COMPUTER NOTIFICATIONS OF A MALFUNCTION AND THEREFORE NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS AUTO.

THIS IS AN ACCORD HYBRID PROBLEM! IN COLD WEATHER THE VEHICLE ROARS SO LOUDLY YOU CAN'T HOLD A CONVERSATION OR DRIVE SAFELY - IT SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK IS TRYING TO PASS YOU. THEN IT SUDDENLY STOPS! A FEW MINUTES LATER IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 55 - SURFACE MAKE NO DIFFERENCE, BUT MUCH GREATER WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40 DEGREES. I PUT 2500 MILES ON MY FIRST ACCORD (2018) BEFORE REPLACING IT, NOW THE NEW ONE (2019) IS DOING THE SAME THING! I AM NOT ALONE, THE ACCORD GROUPS ARE FULL OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS AND NOTHING BEING DONE FOR TWO YEARS+. DEALER HAS TOLD ME FOR THE PAST YEARS+ THAT HONDA IS "INVESTIGATING". MILEAGE ALSO SEEMS TO DROP IN 1/2 WHEN THIS CONDITION EXISTS. LETTING OFF THE GAS STOPS THE SOUND IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEN IT WILL START UP AGAIN WHEN UNDER LOAD. ONLY OCCURS IN COLD WEATHER AT SPEED, NEVER WHEN IDLING IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES TO RECORD SOUND BUT NOTHING WORKS. BTW: IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE MILEAGE CLAIMED ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAD A HYBRID LINCOLN AND ALWAYS GOT BETTER THAN ADVERTISED MILEAGE.

WHEN DRIVING AT 53 MPH A LOUD HUMMING SOUND EMANATES IN THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. THIS HAS REPEATED ITSELF MULTIPLE TIMES WARM AND COOL WEATHER AT SAME SPEED. THIS WAS A NEW PURCHASE.

HIGH PITCHED NOISE PRESENT SO LONG AS ANY POWER IS DRAWN ANYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. THE NOISE IS A CONSTANT 15KHZ NOISE WITH SPORADIC NOISES OCCUPYING THE 15-20KHZ RANGE. NOTICED IN THE DAYS AFTER BUYING THE BRAND NEW CAR. TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES, HONDA FLOWN OUT ENGINEERS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID IT'S AN ISSUE BUT IT IS PRESENT IN ALL MODEL YEAR HYBRIDS, SO THEY DO NOT INTEND TO FIX. MOST PEOPLE LOSE THE ABILITY TO HEAR SOUND IN THIS RANGE BY AGE 40. UNFORTUNATELY OF YOU CAN HEAR THIS NOISE IT IS VERY LOUD AND SO HIGH PITCHED THAT I NOW REQUIRE HEARING PROTECTION IN MY LEFT EAR TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HONDA CLAIMS IT IS NOT AN ISSUE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE CAN NOT HEAR IT. I HAVE READ STUDIES OUT OF AM AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY NOTING THAT EVEN SOUNDS OUTSIDE OUR RANGE OF HEARING CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH ISSUES (MIGRAINES, HEARING LOSS, NAUSEA ETC.) THEY ARE REFUSING TO RESPOND TO ME IN ANY CAPACITY. I NOW HAVE TO SET UPON THE TASK OF TRADING IN MY CAR WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT JUST SO I CAN DRIVE WITH MY EARS UNPLUGGED. I AM TOLD TO EXPECT A LOSS OF AT LEAST $10,000 ON MY TRADE. I HAVE ATTACHED TWO PHOTOS OF A SOUND ANALYSER APP I USED TO CATEGORIZE THE NOISE. FIRST PICTURE SHOWS A CONSTANT BOLD LINE AT 15KHZ RIGHT AS I TURNED MY CAR ON. THE SECOND SHOWS SOME ~20KHZ "CHIRPS" I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. I FEAR NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF AND THE MASSIVE FINANCIAL HIT I WILL NO DOUBT SUFFER AT THE END OF THIS, BUT FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THOSE DRIVING THESE CARS.
