Some Honda Accord owners report experiencing persistent radio static, even when the audio system is turned off, which can become loud and unbearable at times. They note that the volume controls are ineffective once the static starts, and turning off the audio power does not always eliminate the noise. Additionally, some users have mentioned that the static persists while the car is in motion, raising potential safety concerns, particularly on the freeway. Despite attempts to troubleshoot the issue, including identifying the audio display as a possible cause, the problem continues to occur. Given the recurring nature of this issue across different model years, there may be a need for a recall if more owners report the same problem. The only known solution appears to be replacing the audio head unit, which has proven difficult for some users to obtain. Owners experiencing this issue are advised to contact Honda Automobile Customer Service for further assistance and to inquire about any potential recalls or available solutions.
