Honda Accord Hybrid years to avoid (and the best years)

695 NHTSA owner complaints and 15 recalls across 11 model years, 2014 to 2025. Built from NHTSA owner complaints and recalls, generated October 26, 2026.

Which Honda Accord Hybrid years should you avoid?

No Honda Accord Hybrid model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Honda Accord Hybrid year has 48 complaints on file. The busiest years are the 2023 (140), 2018 (115) and 2019 (93).

What are the best Honda Accord Hybrid years?

The Honda Accord Hybrid years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2014 (24), 2015 (39) and 2017 (45). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
