Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 7 tested variants for this model year.
The 2013 to 2017 Honda Accord received a five-star overall rating from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program for US-market vehicles. The sedan earned five stars in side crash, rollover, and side pole crash tests. It scored four stars in frontal crash testing. NHTSA applies these ratings across model years until a significant redesign occurs, so this rating covers the entire 2013 to 2017 range.
5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2017 Honda Accord has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the front passenger seat sensor, which can misread the occupant and cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly in a crash, raising the risk of injury.
Both remaining recalls involve the fuel system. On V6 models, particulates in the fuel can coat the internal components of the fuel pump, reducing its ability to deliver fuel consistently. A separate recall covers a broader fuel pump failure that affects a wide range of Honda and Acura vehicles, including this Accord, where the pump can stop working entirely while driving. In both cases, a compromised fuel pump can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, leaving the driver without power in traffic.
