Honda Accord hybrid problems

The Honda Accord (Japanese: ホンダ・アコード, Hepburn: Honda Akōdo, /əˈkɔːrd/), also known as the Honda Inspire (Japanese: ホンダ・インスパイア, Hepburn: Honda Insupaia) in Japan and China for certain generations, is a series of automobiles manufactured by Honda since 1976, best known for its four-door sedan variant, which has been one of the best-selling cars in the United States since 1989. The Accord nameplate has been applied to a variety of vehicles worldwide, including coupes, station wagons, hatchbacks and a Honda Crosstour crossover.

Since its initiation, Honda has offered several different car body styles and versions of the Accord, and often vehicles marketed under the Accord nameplate concurrently in different regions differ quite substantially. It debuted in 1976, as a compact hatchback, though this style only lasted through 1989, as the lineup was expanded to include a sedan, coupe, and wagon. By the sixth-generation Accord at the end of the 1990s, it evolved into an intermediate vehicle, with one basic platform but with different bodies and proportions to increase its competitiveness against its rivals in different international markets. For the eighth-generation Accord released for the North American market in 2007, Honda had again chosen to move the model further upscale and increase its size. This pushed the Accord sedan from the upper limit of what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines as a mid-size car to just above the lower limit of a full-size car, with the coupe still rated as a mid-size car. In 2012, the ninth-generation Accord sedan, with smaller exterior dimensions, was once again classified as a mid-size car at 119 cubic feet (3.4 m3), falling just shy of the "Large Car" classification. However, the tenth-generation Accord sedan, with similar exterior dimensions, returned to full-size car status with its combined interior space of 123 cubic feet (3.5 m3); the coupe was discontinued in 2017.

In 1982, the Accord became the first car from a Japanese manufacturer to be produced in the United States when production commenced in Marysville, Ohio at Honda's Marysville Auto Plant. The Accord has achieved considerable success, especially in the United States, where it was the best-selling Japanese car for sixteen years (1982–97), topping its class in sales in 1991 and 2001, with around ten million vehicles sold. Numerous road tests, past and present, rate the Accord as one of the world's most reliable vehicles. The Accord has been on the Car and Driver 10Best list a record 38 times.

In 1989, the Accord was the first vehicle sold under an import brand to become the best-selling car in the United States. As of 2020, the Accord has sold more than 18 million units.

Common Honda Accord hybrid problems

The Honda Accord Hybrid, like any other vehicle, has faced several issues that have been reported by owners over the years. One of the most significant problems is related to the fuel system, particularly in the 2017 model year. This issue is the worst category of problems for the Honda Accord Hybrid, with multiple complaints about poor fuel efficiency and low power.

Another common problem reported by Honda Accord Hybrid owners is related to the electrical system. Although the 2014 model year has the most overall complaints, the 2017 model year is considered worse due to factors such as higher repair costs and more problems at lower mileage. The most reported problem for the 2014 model year is poor MPG, which is likely related to the electrical system issues.

In addition to these problems, there have been reports of issues with the air conditioning system in the Honda Accord Hybrid. One owner reported having to bring their car in six times in eight months due to the AC blowing warm air, indicating a possible defect in the AC condenser.

Furthermore, there have been concerns about the quality of the interior materials in the Honda Accord Hybrid. Some owners have reported issues with the fit and finish of the interior, including the use of cheap plastic materials and the lack of heated mirrors, which is considered a safety feature. Additionally, some features that were previously standard, such as HD Radio and satellite radio, are no longer included in some models, which has been a source of frustration for some owners.

Lastly, there have been reports of issues with the engine bay in the Honda Accord Hybrid. Some owners have reported noises coming from the engine bay, including a noticeable noise from the inverter and the sound of components moving around as if the engine mount or struts were worn out. These issues could indicate a problem with the engine mount or struts, which could lead to more significant problems down the line if not addressed.

In summary, the Honda Accord Hybrid has faced several issues over the years, including problems with the fuel system, electrical system, air conditioning, interior quality, and engine bay. While Honda has a reputation for reliability, it is essential to be aware of these potential issues when considering purchasing a Honda Accord Hybrid.

    I was really excited when I first received my car 2 1/2 years ago, but unfortunately, the experience has been marred by a series of recalls and other issues. Now, every time I turn on the car, I feel anxious about what might be wrong and whether I'll have to pay for repairs. The recalls have included a new DC/DC module, a new tank, and software updates for safety functions like brakes. There was also a warranty extension for a pending issue with the A/C, which I now have to deal with. On top of all that, this is the first car I've ever had a rodent issue with - apparently, the cable harnesses were chewed through due to the plant-based materials used in them. The dealer quoted me $4,000 for the repair, which seemed excessive, but fortunately, I have comprehensive insurance and only had to pay the deductible. However, the adjuster was able to reduce the repair bill to $3,000, which was a relief. Despite all these issues, I'm still hopeful that I can find a solution. I'm considering selling the car and buying a different brand, but I'm disappointed that it's come to this. Thank you for listening to my concerns.

    Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with my car. I bought it in June 2022 with only 11 miles on it and I absolutely love it! However, it's been in the shop for the second time now. They say it's because of the heat, but I'm not quite convinced. While driving, all the lights come on and today the car just wouldn't start. Have you ever experienced anything like this?

  4. Kiel Huels 2025-06-16

    Vehicle year: 2019

    Firstly, I must say that this is an excellent car. However, like others, I would not have purchased this hybrid if I was only going to get between 34-37 MPG instead of the advertised 48/48, which was the main reason I chose this specific vehicle.

  5. Guillermo Corwin 2025-05-26

    Vehicle year: 2017

    Good performance overall. During the summer, the car achieved an average gas mileage of 45 MPG, which decreased to 39 MPG in the winter. Unfortunately, the front display panel stopped working around 42k, disabling important functions such as time, radio stations, gas mileage, reverse and side cameras, and Bluetooth. This has compromised the safety of the car. Despite this, Honda has refused to fix the issue, citing the expiration of the 36-month warranty. I am disappointed with this experience and it may influence my decision to purchase another Honda in the future.

Latest positive Honda Accord hybrid car reviews

  1. Kade DuBuque 2025-07-06

    Vehicle year: 2014

    I've had my base Hybrid for a month and put a little over 2K miles on it. It's been fantastic so far! I've averaged about 48 mpg in mixed driving, which would probably be even higher if the temperatures didn't drop below freezing, causing me to average about 36 mpg on my current tank. The handling is good for a big sedan, and it feels like it has as much power as my former '04 Accord EX-L V6 Navi. The brakes are smooth and linear, unlike the jerky brakes found on the Prius's I've rented. The seats are supportive and comfortable, and the interior fit and finish is quite impressive. I find the infotainment system to be decently intuitive, and the base audio system is okay, though not great.

  2. Wilburn Schuppe 2025-07-04

    Vehicle year: 2017

    Congratulations on your second hybrid vehicle! It's great to hear that you're enjoying your new Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. Your positive experience with the vehicle is very encouraging, and it's wonderful to hear that it performs well on all kinds of roads. It's also great to hear that you and your wife are enjoying the sportier ride and quicker response of the Accord, even though it's different from your Camry. The enhanced cruise control and touch screen controls for the radio system are working well for you, and it's good to know that you can turn off the safety features if they become too sensitive. With its hybrid capability, the vehicle is achieving impressive gas mileage, averaging an overall 42+ mpg. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we wish you many more happy miles in your new car!Overall, I think I will like this vehicle just as much as my 6-year-old Camry. I hope it performs just as well.

  3. Glennie Stracke 2025-07-04

    I'm so glad you chose this car for its safety and luxury features! It sounds like you have a long commute, but the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist must make it so much easier to focus on the road. The Blind Side Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems are like having an extra set of eyes watching out for you, which is always reassuring. The Touring edition sounds amazing, especially with the Ventilated Seats that provide great relief during hot days. The Heads Up Display is also a great feature that helps you keep your eyes on the road. I completely understand why you went with a Black Interior, as lighter colors can create glare on windows in sunlight. It's great to hear that you're getting such good fuel economy, even if it means adjusting your driving habits a bit. The Hybrid Powertrain sounds like a great choice, and I'm glad to hear that it's performing well for you. The return of the dials and buttons on the infotainment is a welcome change, and the customizable options for display tiles make selecting sources and info easy and quick. It sounds like you're really happy with your purchase, and I hope you continue to enjoy it for a long time to come!

    I average 43.5 mpg on a tank full of gas. Most of the time, it's only a 2-mile drive to work, so it's not ideal for the best mpg. However, my wife averaged 45.9 mpg when she drove it to work for a few months, about 15 miles each way, city and highway. During extreme winter cold, I get 35.5 mpg, and the worst I've seen in 2 months of winter is about 37.5 mpg on average, depending on the coldness. It's nice to only have to fill up every 6 weeks. On a 10 to 15-mile trip with a speed around 45 to 50, I routinely see 59 to 65 mpg. During a long trip of 600 miles on the highway, I drive at 70-75 mph and see 43 mpg, and with cruise control set at 62 to 65, I see 45.5 mpg. Much has been made of the engine rev to speed, but it's no big deal once you get used to it. I love the car, although I wish it went at least 3 miles on a charge, and a memory seat would have been nice, along with better Bluetooth and a moonroof without breaking the bank. Newer models come with fancy driving aids that I do not want, so I'm not sure what I will do when I want a new one. You cannot go wrong with this car - the style, comfort, drive-ability, and superior gas mileage are hard to beat. I wish Honda had asked me what I would change before they built the 2018 model. The bottom line is that I love the car, and although there could have been improvements, I would still choose this car over the newest Accord Hybrid. If you can get into a low mileage 2015 or 2017 model, grab it - you will not be sorry. I have owned mine for over 3 years, and this is the straight scoop. Update: After 5 years of owning it, as of March 2020, it's still great, and I would recommend it to anyone. I wish they made a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that would go 40 miles or more on a charge - then the car would be perfect.

    I switched from an Acura to the Hybrid Accord to save on fuel cost. The Touring model was the closest to the Acura in terms of interior comfort, technology, and features. However, it's important to note that the power and performance of an Acura cannot be expected. There are a few items that I miss, such as the inability to access the interior of the car from the trunk, which makes it difficult to carry long items like fishing rods. Additionally, the side mirrors are not connected to the driver 1 and 2 setting, and the navigation through the display options is not as intuitive as it could be. Unless you continually change displays, it can be hard to remember how to. Overall, the car meets my expectations. It looks great, drives great, and offers gas mileage that's almost double that of my Acura (with the same travel habits and roads).
