Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Accord.
The 2023 Honda Accord is a mid‑size sedan that delivers a balanced fuel economy of 29 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 32 mpg combined, all through its automatic transmission with variable gear ratios; the model year also carries six official recalls and a total of 139 owner complaints, all falling into the “Unknown Or Other” category. In the broader 1990‑2022 complaint record, the Accord peaked in 2003 with 2,013 complaints and hit a low in 2022 with 213, placing the 2023 model near the lower end of its long‑term reliability trend. This positioning suggests that, while the Accord remains a reliable choice relative to its predecessors, it continues to experience a modest level of owner concerns typical for the line.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Federal data traces a steep decline in complaint volume across the current generation, falling from 1,799 reports in 2018 to just 213 by 2022. The 2023 model year appears to continue this low-incident trajectory, as its most frequently cited issue—“Unknown Or Other”—accounts for only 11 filings, supplemented by 7 steering-related reports, 7 combined electrical/brake/engine complaints, and 6 brake/collision avoidance issues. Additionally, the model shows 4 crash-related incidents and zero fire complaints on record. This positions the 2023 Accord at the stable, mature end of the generational lifecycle, maintaining the minimal filing rates observed in 2021-2022. Given the sustained low volume of federal reports and absence of fire-related incidents, the 2023 model year represents a sound used-car purchase.
