What changed for the 2017 Honda Accord

  • 2016–2017Facelift: new fascias, Honda Sensing widely available, Sport/Touring move to 19-in wheels, electronic parking brake, LED headlights on upper trims. Hybrid skips 2016, returns for 2017 at 212 hp (built in Japan)

Known problems with the 2017 Honda Accord

2 of the 5 issues we track for the 2013–2017 generation are documented against the 2017 model year, and 1 carries a recall or service bulletin.

  • VTC actuator rattle at cold start

    minorHonda TSB A18-010 and related bulletins

    A 1–3 second grinding rattle at cold start on the 2.4L is the K24's well-known VTC (variable timing control) actuator lock-pin not holding. It is annoying more than destructive, but Honda revised the actuator and covered many replacements under TSBs. Fix is a new actuator. Labor-heavy because the timing chain must come off.

    Typical cost: $600–$1,100 out of warranty

  • Hybrid: dead 12V auxiliary battery strands the car

    minor

    The small trunk-area 12V battery on Accord Hybrids commonly dies around the 4–5 year mark, and the car will not 'READY' even though the high-voltage pack is fine, symptoms look like total electrical failure. Jump-starting at the under-hood jump terminal wakes it up; the cure is a new AGM battery of the same size. Keep the 12V tested after year three.

    Typical cost: $180–$320

3 more issues reported in other 2013–2017 years
  • CVT torque-converter judder / shudder — 2013–2015 (most reports)
  • Starter grinds at startup / early starter failure — 2013–2015
  • Electric power steering (EPS) torque sensor, warranty extension — 2013–2015

About the Honda Accord

The Honda Accord is the Camry's perennial rival, and the 2013–2025 span covers three mechanically distinct cars that share Honda's reputation for long engine life and cheap consumables. 5L J35Y1 V6, the last Accord V6, and the only engine here with a timing belt to replace, plus a two-motor i-MMD hybrid in 2014–2015 and 2017; its documented weak spots are torque-converter judder in the CVT, grinding starters, and rattling VTC actuators. 0T with a 10-speed automatic, and a stronger hybrid, plus a big Denso fuel-pump recall and a 10-year warranty extension on leak-prone A/C condensers.

0L hybrid the volume powertrain; a quarter-million 2023–2025 hybrids were recalled in late 2025 for control-module software that can cut drive power. 3 with 80 ft-lb lug torque, key fobs take a CR2032, and there is no fixed service schedule, the Maintenance Minder computes oil life and flags codes for filters, fluids, and plugs.
