The backup camera does not work approximately 25% of the time car is put in reverse. This is an ongoing problem and has occurred dozens of times over the last 2 months. The screen is blank except for the guidance lines. There are no warning lamps or alarms during the malfunction. The problem has not been confirmed or inspected by the dealer or other representatives.
Back up camera malfunctioning since the past couple weeks. It displays these colorful artifacts as shown in the attached images. It makes it harder to observes obstructions, cars while backing up. Haven't got this component inspected yet but looking online, it seems to be a issue common to different Honda models (particularly 2019 Models) - see link below [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
REAR BACKUP CAMERA AT 17000 MILES WENT WONKY COULD NOT SEE MUCH OUT OF IT ANY MORE IT WAS JUST A SPLASH OF CRAZY BRIGHT GREEN PURPLE BLUE AND OTHER COLORS AFTER CHECKING ON HONDA INTERNET FORUMS I WAS ASTOUNDED TO FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM MOST WERE IN THE 2019 MODEL HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH THESE CAMERAS I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND FOR ME I KNOW IT IS AS I HAVE LIMITED USE OF MY NECK AND NEED A BACKUP CAMERA

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the contact heard a sound like a gunshot coming from the sunroof before the sunroof shattered into tiny pieces. The contact managed to drive the vehicle home and contacted the manufacturer and was instructed to take the vehicle to a dealer for inspection. The vehicle was taken the dealer where she was informed that a rock had struck the sunroof, causing the sunroof to shatter. The contact was shown the point of impact. The contact contended the report and stated that there was no debris on the roadway that should have caused the sunroof glass to shatter. The contact was given a case number. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
MY 2019 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T SPORT (WHICH ONLY HAS 5,000 MILE) AC CONDENSER SEEMS IS LEAKING. THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE DEFROSTING OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT'S HARD TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM IS THERE UNLESS THE BUMPER IS REMOVED. THE REFRIGERANT WILL EVENTUALLY RAN OUT. BY THE TIME THE CAR PROBABLY OUT OF WARRANTY.
THE POSITIONING OF THE WINDSHIELD MOUNTED CENSORS BOX AND THE REARWARD VIEW MIRROR CREATE A FORWARD TO THE RIGHT BLIND SPOT THAT OBSTRUCTS VIEWS OF ONCOMING PEDESTRIANS IN THE WALKWAY COMING TOWARDS YOU AS YOU ARE NEGOTIATING THE VERY BEGINNING OF A RIGHT HAND TURN, LEADING TO POTENTIAL PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT AND VERY ANGRY PEDESTRIANS WHO DO NOT REALIZE THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO WALK RIGHT THROUGH YOUR DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. IN ONE INCIDENT, THE PEDESTRIAN, WHO DID NOT COLLIDE WITH ME, THEN ASSAULTED MY CAR IN UNCONTROLLED ANGER SIX TIMES WITH FLAT HANDS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR TRYING TO CAUSE DAMAGE. IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO TRY AND REPORT SAME TO POLICE SINCE THE POLICE MIGHT ACCUSE YOU OF STRIKING THE PEDESTRIAN WHO SCREAMED OUT OF CONTROL AND ASSAULTED YOUR VEHICLE. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR NEEDS TO BE ELEVATED, OR ALL ACCORDS EQUIPPED WITH FULL TIME SELECTABLE REARWARD CAMERA, NOT JUST THE TOP END MODELS AS THIS IS A SERIOUS VEHICLE DESIGN FLAW, THE CENSOR BOX SHOULD BE MOVED TO FRONT OF THE HOOD MOUNT, IT IS OBSCURING A LOT OF VISION FOR ANYONE 5"10" OR OVER. I AM 6'2":. THIS IS THE FIRST OF ABOUT 12 ACCORDS/ODDS/PILOTS I'VE OWNED OR LEASED WITH THIS HUGE A VISION OBSTRUCTION RIGHT IN MY RIGHT CENTRAL FRAME OF VISION. I WOULD NOT HAVE APPROVED THE LEASE HAD I KN OWN ABOUT THIS OR THE EXTREME RIGHT HAND BIASED PLACEMENT OF THE GAS/BRAKE PEDALS WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING AND MY KNEES, CREATING A PRESSURE OBSTRUCTION THAT SLOWS DOWN HITTING OF THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. THIS GUY WENT HAYWIRE AND DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS OBSTRUCTED BEHIND THE CENSOR BOX AND REAR VIEW MIRROR, SO HE ASSAULTED MY VEHICLE SIX OR MORE TIMES WITH OPEN HANDS TRYING TO DENT THE VEHICLE. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED BUT NO ACCOUNTING FOR PEOPLE'S BLOOD PRESSURE AND TODAY'S ASSAULT FIRST, CONSIDER YOUR SITUATION APPROACH.
CAR WAS DRIVEN AND THEN PARKED IN A GARAGE BY ME. NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD ON THIS OR ANY PREVIOUS DRIVE. WHEN THE CAR WAS LATER PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE, IT HAD A 14" CRACK FROM THE UPPER PASSENGER SIDE CORNER TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CRACK HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND INSIDE A PRIVATE, ENCLOSED GARAGE. THERE ARE NO CHIP OR SCRATCHES ON THE WINDSHIELD OTHER THAN THIS CRACK. SO FAR, I HAVE WAITED 14 DAYS FOR AMERICAN HONDA TO DECIDE IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURING/VEHICLE DEFECT OR AN ACCIDENT. NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR I ARE ABLE TO GET A DECISION FROM AMERICAN HONDA.
WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE OVER A LONG WEEKEND. WAS NEVER HIT BY A ROCK OR ANYTHING. HONDA AGREED AND FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
WINDOWS FOG CONTINOUSLY FOR NO REASON AND THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED BY ITSELF AFTER USING THE DEFOGGING BUTTON FOR THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BUT THERE WAS NO DEBRI OR ROCKS THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD. REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THESE ARE FACTORY DEFECTS BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT OCCURRING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PEARSON HONDA (14001 HULL STREET RD, VA 23112, (804) 745-0300) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRACKING WAS OFF AND THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,100.
WINDSHIELD SEEMS VERY EASILY DAMAGED BY EVEN THE MOST MINOR IMPACTS WITH EVEN THE SMALLEST CHIP SPREADING VERY QUICKLY.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
