“Infotainment Center is completely unusable and a safety hazard. It constantly glitches and clicks random buttons on its own.”Owner report · Electrical System · Sep 2026
“The infotainment center screen flickers and beeps and turns the radio on and off while I'm driving, creating a distraction that makes driving difficult and unsafe. I have reported this issue since I bought the car new in January 2022 to the dealer and they say the manufacturer is aware of it but has come up with no solution. The issue would temporarily stop for a few months at a time but has become consistent now. The navigation and GPS are nonfunctional. The issue has become so extreme that I am afraid of driving the car. The dealer has examined the car several times in The past theee years, always saying that that Honda is working in a solution.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Sep 2026
“The touchscreen in my 2022 Honda Accord has a "ghost touch" defect. It registers touches I never made. While I'm driving, it changes settings, opens menus, makes phone calls, and changes the volume or audio source on its own. This has happened about over 10 times since last year This is a safety issue. The sudden changes distract me while I'm driving, and I can't reliably control the screen, which also shows the backup camera. I request that NHTSA investigate this defect.”Owner report · Electrical System · Sep 2026

“Touch screen on console has lots of ghost-touches .The audio screen keeps switching radio on when it was in off position. It goes into settings or prompts for factory reset while driving, and without touching it. Also, Android AutoPlay navigation keeps jumping around on the map, and giving excessive warnings for next turn, without touching it. This is an EXTREME driver distraction, esp. while trying to use navigation.”Owner report · Electrical System · Sep 2026
“2022 Accord Sport 2.0T. Wireless Apple CarPlay repeatedly fails with "Unable to connect to iPhone14." Bluetooth HandsFreeLink remains connected and the vehicle sees the phone. I have completely deleted and re-paired both Bluetooth and CarPlay; it works initially and then fails again after one or two ignition cycles. Re-pairing the phone is only a temporary fix. I'm also getting what I consider a safety hazard, where the Infotainment system cuts out phone calls, switches to the radio or changes radio stations without anybody touching it, sometimes several times in a 10-15 second period.”Owner report · Electrical System · Sep 2026
