Head-to-head reliability
Lamborghini Huracan vs Honda Accord
How the Lamborghini Huracan and Honda Accord compare on NHTSA complaints, recalls and crash reports — and which is the lower-risk used buy.
Based on NHTSA owner-complaint & recall records
Lamborghini Huracan vs Honda Accord: the Huracan shows 2 complaints over 10 years (0.2 per year) and 25 recalls, while the Accord shows 4,524 complaints (452.4 per year) and 38 recalls. The Accord data also lists 162 crash-related complaints and 146 injuries. Source: NHTSA owner complaints.
The picture
Is the Lamborghini Huracan or Honda Accord more reliable?
A plain-English read on what the NHTSA record says about living with each vehicle.
Lamborghini Huracan
The Lamborghini Huracan is a low-volume exotic, so its 2 complaints over 10 years (0.2 per year) reflect very few owners reporting to NHTSA, not necessarily flawless operation. The sample complaints show a serious electrical failure where the entire instrument cluster went black at highway speed, leaving the driver without speed or gauge information. With 25 recalls but zero crash-related complaints, injuries, or deaths in the data, the picture is of a car with recall activity but sparse owner-reported failure patterns.
Honda Accord
The Honda Accord is a high-volume family sedan with 4,524 complaints over 10 years (about 452 per year), so it generates far more owner reports simply because many more are on the road. The sample complaints describe engine and electrical problems, including alarms and loss of speed, simultaneous power steering and braking failure, and forward collision avoidance issues. The data also shows 162 crash-related complaints, 146 injuries, and 3 deaths, which buyers should weigh alongside the much larger population of vehicles.

What actually goes wrong
The problems owners report
The most-complained-about systems on each vehicle — what fails, and what owners say in their own words.
Lamborghini Huracan
- 01UNKNOWN OR OTHER1
- 02ELECTRICAL SYSTEM1
- 03VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL1
One owner reported the whole instrument cluster failing and going completely black while driving on the highway, so speed and gauges were unreadable and the car had to be towed. This matters because a blank cluster removes critical driving information and can leave you stranded.
The same highway cluster failure is also filed under vehicle speed control, meaning the driver could not see speed or gauge readings. For a buyer, this suggests checking that the digital display and speed readout work reliably and that any related recall was performed.
One complaint is filed under unknown or other, but the public text is redacted, so the actual symptom is not visible. That limits what buyers can learn from this entry and means the electrical cluster complaint is the main concrete pattern in the sample.

Owners report alarms for brake, hill descent, ABS, and critical failure appearing as the car reaches highway speeds, with the vehicle losing speed. Another owner describes rattling noises while accelerating, rough transitions between EV and gas mode, and a jerk when the charge button is pressed.
One owner reported the electronic power steering and braking systems failing and locking up simultaneously at highway speeds, causing a near-collision. Another describes a TPMS warning repair followed by a passenger-side tire failing catastrophically the same day.
Owners report the system failing to resolve a threat and repeated incidents under the same driving and weather conditions, including with adaptive cruise control set to 70 mph. This matters because these are the systems meant to prevent or lessen crashes.
One owner reported a persistent rotten-egg or sulfur odor that remained after a filter replacement and odor treatment. Another reported a foot slipping behind a plastic side panel of the center console during a highway drive, which is a fit-and-finish concern rather than a mechanical failure.

Buyer analysis
Lamborghini Huracan or Honda Accord: which should you buy?
The Lamborghini Huracan has far fewer complaints per year (0.2 versus 452.4) and zero crash-related complaints, injuries, or deaths in the provided data, while the Honda Accord shows 162 crash-related complaints, 146 injuries, and 3 deaths. In practice, the Accord's much larger owner population means more reported problems, but the Huracan's sample still includes a serious highway cluster failure. Buyers should treat the counts as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Key differences
- The Huracan has 2 complaints over 10 years and 25 recalls, while the Accord has 4,524 complaints and 38 recalls, so the Accord's problem reports are far more numerous in absolute terms.
- The Huracan sample shows an instrument cluster going completely black at highway speed, while the Accord sample shows engine alarms, loss of speed, and simultaneous power steering and braking failure.
- The Accord data includes 162 crash-related complaints, 146 injuries, and 3 deaths; the Huracan data includes 0 in each of those categories.
- The Accord's top components are engine (1,006), electrical system (895), and forward collision avoidance (837), while the Huracan's top components are unknown or other, electrical system, and vehicle speed control, each with 1 complaint.
- Check the instrument cluster and digital display for any blanking, flicker, or failure to show speed and gauges, since an owner reported the whole cluster going black at highway speed.
- Confirm whether the electrical system and display-function recalls were completed, and ask for service records tied to the cluster complaint.
- Test the electronic power steering and braking systems for simultaneous warning lights or lock-up, since an owner reported both failing at highway speed.
- Listen for rattling while accelerating and check for rough EV-to-gas transitions or a jerk when the charge button is pressed, as reported by an owner.
Before you buy
- For the Huracan, start the car and watch the instrument cluster through a full gauge sweep, then drive enough to confirm speed and gauge readings stay visible.
- For the Accord, scan for stored codes and test the forward collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control under safe conditions, since owners report repeated incidents.
- Ask both sellers for complete recall repair records, especially electrical system and display recalls on the Huracan and hybrid power control software on the Accord.
- On the Accord, check tire pressure monitoring and inspect the spare tire and rear seat belt retractor, which appear in the recall subjects.
- On the Huracan, verify warranty coverage in writing before purchase, because one owner reported the dealer disputing warranty on the cluster repair.
