Service Brakes · reported Nov 9, 2026
On XXX, I was involved in a low-speed collision when the electronic brake-by-wire/regenerative braking system failed on my factory-fresh 2026 Honda Accord Hybrid (Sport L, approximately 300 miles). While executing a cautious right turn around a parked van on [XXX], the brake pedal went completely rigid and unresponsive, causing the car to maintain its low-speed "idle creep" momentum, override a concrete wheel stop, and roll through a storefront glass facade. The car only stopped when my daughter manually forced the gear shift into Park, locking the front wheels and leaving linear, parallel…
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Oct 25, 2026
This has happened multiple times within a couple of months. The automatic emergency breaking automatically breaks when there is no danger of a collision at all. The first time is when I was coming out from under an overpass on the highway, and the shadow made the car think that a collision was imminent and slammed on breaks. I was going 70 miles an hour and luckily no one was behind me. Another time was when I was driving through an area with road work and was following the path set by cones. The car thought I was going to run into the cones and slammed on breaks, although I was just turning…

Unknown or Other · reported Oct 20, 2026
The vehicle's infotainment system displays error code TT04 on every startup, preventing over-the-air software updates, including any potential safety-related updates delivered through this system. To date, Honda has not provided a software patch for the issue.
Steering · reported Oct 15, 2026
While driving at high speed, the vehicle falsely initiated severe emergency braking and aggressively shook the steering wheel, actively fighting my input to keep the car straight. My safety was at risk as well as others around me who had to brake and swerve to avoid collision while I struggled to get to the highway shoulder. The vehicle remains at the dealership as they are suggesting a steering column replacement. I have filed a case with Honda requesting a master technician perform a formal ADAS camera alignment and an EPS circuit inspection, but they have not yet responded. Honda did…
