At a glance
- Next to the 2022 and 2024
- The 2023 is a low point between its neighbors: 22 complaints for each year on the road, where the 2022 has 50 and the 2024 has 47.
- Top problem
- No problem dominates. The largest, brake wear, covers 17 of the 86 complaints (20%), and infotainment is next with 12 (one complaint can fall under more than one problem, so these overlap). Too few of the brake wear reports give a mileage to say when it starts.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 11 of the 86 complaints (13%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 7 reports mention a crash, 2 mention a fire and 5 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 3 of 7, fall under brake wear.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- 5 recalls are on file, but no problem here has enough reports to set against them.
- When owners filed
- Complaints are still climbing. 2025 brought 19, the most of any year so far. So far in 2026, 38 more have come in.

How this compares
86 complaints is 1.8 times fewer than the median 2023 model on this site and 1.3 times fewer than the median 2023 sedan. Among the 13 Accord model years here it ranks 11th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
