2022 Honda Accord Electrical System

My infotainment screen randomly registers phantom/ghost touches while I’m driving. It changes audio sources, turns the volume up, switches screens, opens apps, places phone calls on its own (including to coworkers), and becomes completely unresponsive to my actual touch inputs. It will also jump between menus and navigation screens without me touching anything. This takes my eyes off the road and has nearly caused multiple accidents. The dealership has already replaced the entire touchscreen unit, but the problem continues exactly the same. They told me Honda uses a third-party manufacturer for these units and that there is no known fix. Honda Care also has no resolution and sent me back to the dealership, creating a loop with no actual repair path. Both Honda and the dealer acknowledge this is a known issue affecting many Honda Accord owners, but no permanent fix exists. The system makes random phone calls, changes the map and audio menus while I’m driving, interferes with navigation, and prevents me from ending calls or controlling the screen. This is a major distraction and a direct safety hazard. The defect persists even after parts replacement. I am reporting this because it is a widespread, well-documented issue that Honda has not resolved, and it has the potential to cause serious accidents.

The infomatic system. It seems as if it has a mind of its own. It consistently randomly changes on its own. I have several videos of this happening. When this happens as its random its very distracting as it makes noises everytime it changes to a different screen. This also effects the GPS system. It randomly turns off and on. The navigation system is able to be used as its not reliable. I have tried to have 2 dealerships look at it but they need to take time to dedicate to finding a solution. They only turn the car on for a few min then off. They have copies of my videos. Yes the honda dealer made a very little attempt at looking at it. But stated Honda does not have reports of this problem. There is no warning when the problem happens.

The radio itself will start glitching out the screen would start changing by itself and making observe beeping noise as it change took it to a Honda dealership. They told me it would be a 50-50 chance if they did a warranty claim on it and that it was a possibility of the problem coming back so they did not replace the screen people been having this problem since 2020 that I read in the comments. It is a big problem as for safety while driving because it makes you take your eyes off the road because screen changing in the beeping noise . They also told me that Honda could roll out a update or a recall for it but it’s been since 2020 and nothing has happened about this situation.

Radio glitches, happens on and off

The touchscreen will glitch nonstop and random buttons are selected. The screen will freeze so when it calls random people, cancels my directions and other inconvenient things. I have to take my eyes off the road to address it. It’s extremely dangerous as it occurs so often now. I cannot drive down the road without it glitching and stopping any music or directions I have on. It’ll turn music on even after I turn the audio off.

My dashboard is saying driver is sleepy? And my radio is changing to different modes by itself.

the infotainment system frequently experiences phantom touches on the touch screen interface. This puts my safety at risk because it can make unwanted changes to the navigation system, audio source, or even make unwanted phone calls. Imagine driving on the road and suddenly you're calling emergency services. This problem has been reproduced by other Honda Accord owners and documented online. The only "fix" has been to have the infotainment system replaced, but it sometimes still persists even after a replacement. https://www.reddit.com/r/accord/comments/1fn6iwh/accord_is_useless_ghost_touch/ Honda has no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms. The issue just happens.

The touch screen in my car recently has been moving on itself without me touching it. It starts glitching and going through different apps and settings without me doing anything. It doesn’t allow me to listen to music, make calls, scheme through apps etc.

The infotainment unit for my car will randomly shift from one screen to another, beeping and flashing as it does so. It turns off maps, turns on and off the radio, etc. this is highly distracting to the driver and cannot be reset easily. Taking it to the dealership results in them telling me it’s a known issue but there isn’t a fix or a remedy for it.

The radio/screen consistently glitches and acts like someone is pressing buttons on it when you are not. This includes turning the station, changing volume up or down, and becoming non responsive all together. If you do a simple internet search for honda accord radio glitching you will see hundreds of people with same issue; dealership has no fix to offer. This is a safety issue and should be fixed via recall.

Touchscreen glitches in its own. Taps all over the screen nonstop. Cannot safely put in directions to get to a location. Have to unplug my phone and use my phone screen for directions, which as a driver I’m not supposed to be on my phone. Also when it glitches it can go to my phone and call people while I’m driving, constantly have to take my attention off of driving to hang the phone up and exit the phone screen. When screen is turned off it will also turn itself back on. There is not fix to this for us only problems. Hearing lots of people having the same problem but Honda isn’t making a recall of fixing anybody’s vehicles

The infotainment system has an issue where it will randomly switch between Car play, radio, or even dial a phone number. In the middle of using navigation it will jump to a different screen then no longer allow inputs ie touch screen stop sensing what is being pressed and is unresponsive. It is a safety issue in regards to navigation. There are many reports of the above occurring on unofficial forums such as Reddit.

Touchscreen display has phantom touch. It changes every second and sounds of clicking touch happen.

I am writing to formally report a serious issue with the infotainment system in my 2022 Honda Accord. The touchscreen consistently exhibits “phantom touch” behavior — screens change on their own, controls do not respond properly, and essential features like navigation and audio become difficult or impossible to use. This issue has persisted since at least July 2025 and creates a significant distraction while driving, compromising safety. I have not yet taken the vehicle to a Honda dealership because I was informed there would be a $190 diagnostic fee just to assess the issue. Before proceeding, I conducted extensive research and discovered that this is a well-documented and widespread defect affecting many 2021–2022 Honda Accord models. Numerous owners have reported identical issues online and through NHTSA complaints. From what I’ve found, even when the screen is replaced, the problem often recurs — and Honda has reportedly advised some customers that no effective fix is available at this time. As a customer, I find this deeply concerning. This is clearly a known issue, yet no formal recall or technical service bulletin appears to have been issued. More importantly, it directly affects driver safety — particularly when it impairs the ability to use built-in navigation, manage phone calls, or adjust vehicle settings without distraction

My 2022 Honda Accord has a serious infotainment system malfunction, which has persisted since at least September 2023. The touch screen exhibits "phantom touch" issues — screens change erratically, and touch controls do not respond properly. This makes in-car navigation unreliable and forces me to use my phone for directions, which is unsafe and distracting. The dealership and Honda have acknowledged the problem and indicated it is a known defect affecting 2021–2022 Accord models. However, after nearly two years, no remedy or replacement has been provided, and all parts available are apparently affected. Honda has advised against replacing the display panels at this time. I believe this issue constitutes a safety concern due to the distraction and lack of dependable navigation, and I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate and prompt Honda to provide an effective fix.

While driving, the vehicle radio jumps screens without any user input. When you try to interact with it, it freezes and locks up for a period of time, and then catches up. It is especially worse if a phone is plugged into, leading to distracted driving and a potential safety hazard. According to the dealer it’s a known problem, but Honda has no fix.

The infotainment system keeps flashing. It changes on its own. The radio turns off the settings are changing on the screen on there own. Without touch to screen. Ive reset the radio took it to honda to get checked the problem wasnt happening when i had the appointment so they couldnt help.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to restart. The low tire pressure warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the battery harness. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who then diagnosed a failure with the battery. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was again taken back to the dealer, who then diagnosed a failure with the battery sensor. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,000.

Have had numerous occurrences of the Infotainment System having a mind of its own during the past several months. This issue has been commonly intermittent. Driving conditions, temperature, road conditions, time of day, or anything else have had an effect on when it happens or duration that it happens. I have taken my vehicle in to the Honda dealership to have it diagnosed. The dealership diagnosed the issue as "Ghost Touch" and their recommendation was to replace the Infotainment System screen. It was days after the replacement that the "Ghost Touch" happened again with the new system installed. Most recently I had the vehicle in to the dealership for the "Ghost Touch" issue. After hours of troubleshooting the dealership used their Tech Line to find more information about the "Ghost Touch" issue from Honda. The response was as follows: "Tech Line has been made aware of a false (Ghost/Phantom) touch with the display panel. This issue is under review by the vendor. As all parts in stock are affected, replacement of the display panel for this issue is not recommended at this time." As the Infotainment System becomes self aware and makes involuntary changes to maps, directories, and phone usage completely on its own and at random, it becomes a distraction to operating the vehicle in a safe manner. I called Honda Corporation to see if there was something that could be done and I was told to make sure that I went through the dealership and that they were aware of the issue. As this has become commonplace for the 2021 and 2022 Honda Accord models, that Honda has known about the issue for several years, and that there are apparently hundreds of owners of this vehicle that are having the same issue, that Honda would issue a recall or have a repair by this time. According to, and as of this date, the dealership is not aware of any recalls or repairs to this system by the manufacturer.

I purchased the Accord new and bought an extended warranty from Honda (Honda Care). My car started having intermittent glitches with the infotainment system about 8 or 9 months ago. The system experiences ghost touches, freezes up, disconnects from my phone, randomly makes calls, hangs up on calls I actually make, will not turn off. Basically, this thing controls the car's brain. I have taken the car to 2 different dealerships and gotten the same response: there is no known fix at this time. Keep in mind, Honda has know about this problem since 2019. I contacted Honda Corporation. I have spoken to them several times. The second to last time I spoke with them (7/31/25), I requested Honda buy the car back. Today Honda called and told me that my car does not qualify for repurchase because I haven't had an inordinate amount of issues with the car. They further said, as we as we have a fix they will contact me and there was nothing else they could do. Remember, they have know about this issue for better than 6 years and, according to information I gathered from the internet, it has been prevalent issue with many people. Not only is this issue a nuisance, it is a safety issue as well.
