Steering is the dominant complaint theme for the 2024 Honda Accord, with owners across multiple reports describing knocking, clunking, and clicking sounds from the steering system, often felt through the wheel itself. The noises tend to show up at low speeds during parking or tight turns, and several owners report the problem returning even after a steering rack replacement. Forward collision avoidance generates the next-largest cluster of complaints, with owners describing unexpected or unwanted braking events. Fuel system complaints round out the top three, though the specific symptoms described there vary. The steering rack noise pattern is the most consistent thread in this complaint set, with some owners noting that a second rack developed the same symptoms as the original.

By System
The 2024 Honda Accord has 5 recalls, with two of the most serious being a potential loss of drive power on hybrid models and a cracked high-pressure fuel pump that can leak fuel and increase the risk of fire.
Both of those issues carry real consequences while driving. On hybrid trims, a software error in the integrated control module can cause the processor to reset while the vehicle is moving, cutting drive power without warning. The fuel pump concern affects both hybrid and standard Accord models: the pump can crack and leak gasoline near potential ignition sources under the hood. Turning to occupant protection, two separate recalls involve restraint hardware. The front seatbelt pretensioners on certain vehicles may be missing a rivet that holds the quick connector and wire plate in place, which means the pretensioner cannot properly snap the belt tight in a crash. Separately, the driver's seat cushion frame may not have been bolted down with the correct torque, leaving the seat loose and unable to hold the driver in position during a collision. The fifth recall affects hybrid trims and involves the included tire repair kit: pressure can build inside the sealant bottle during use and pop the cap off with enough force to strike whoever is standing nearby.
