Common problems with the 2025 Accord
NHTSA's file holds 125 owner complaints on the 2025 Honda Accord. Owners named steering most often: 51 complaints. A complaint can name more than one component.

| Forward Collision Avoidance | 20 | 1 | Under 5 mileages |
| Electrical System | 17 | 0 | Under 5 mileages |

Of the 125 complaints, 9 report a crash, 1 reports a fire and 7 report an injury (14 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2025 Accord
Too few complaints on the 2025 Accord list a mileage to say when owners reported problems: 9 of its 125 complaints list a mileage (500 to 15,000 miles), and a median is given here only with 10 or more.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2025 Accord wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Every model year together: Half of the 13,231 NHTSA owner complaints on the Honda Accord that list mileage came after 64,000 miles (NHTSA complaints file of November 11, 2026). How many miles will a Honda Accord last? →
Is the 2025 Accord a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2025 is a good or a bad Accord: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2025 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 125 complaints, the 2025 ranks 36th of the 44 Honda Accord model years from 1982 to 2026 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2018 (2,016). The fewest: the 1982 (10).
The 2025 is a recent model year: it has had less time than older years to collect complaints, so its count is still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1982 Accord | 10 | 0 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1984 Accord | 22 | 1 | Under 10 mileages |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2025 Accord lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2025 Accord.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 116 of the 125 complaints on the 2025 Honda Accord give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA names counted: ACCORD, ACCORD HYBRID and ACCORD PLUG-IN HYBRID. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only these.
- Recall-file names matched: ACCORD and ACCORD HYBRID.
