Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Accord.
As a passenger car, the 2017 Honda Accord operates with an engine requiring 4.4 quarts of 0W-20 viscosity oil for proper lubrication. The model has accumulated 526 total owner complaints, predominantly focused on the electrical system, alongside three separate recalls. When situated within the nameplate's broader complaint history spanning 1990 to 2022, this iteration occupies a moderate reliability tier, registering far fewer issues than the 2003 peak of 2,013 complaints but falling well above the 2022 low of 213 complaints, meaning researchers should regard it as a mid-pack option rather than a standout for long-term dependability.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2017 Honda Accord sits at the tail end of the ninth generation (2013–2017), a period during which federal complaints steadily declined from 1,418 in 2013 to 526 in 2017, and recalls dropped from five to three—the lowest recall count of any year in the model’s recorded history. This downward trend in both complaints and recalls suggests that Honda addressed issues over the generation’s run, making the 2017 model year the most refined of that cycle. In contrast, the following tenth generation (2018) saw a sharp spike to 1,799 complaints and six recalls, indicating that the 2017 avoids the teething problems of a redesign. The top complaint areas for 2017 are electrical system (76 reports) and unknown/other (60), with 37 crash-related and 9 fire-related complaints—figures that are moderate but not alarming relative to earlier years. The 2017 also recorded only 94 technical service bulletins (TSBs), far fewer than the 173 in 2016 and 297 in 2018, reinforcing its position as a stable, well-sorted model year. Overall, the 2017 Accord is a strong buy for a used vehicle, as the data shows it is the most reliable and least problematic year of its generation.
