2020 Honda Accord
This year drew 345 complaints against a median of 579 across the Honda Accord's other years, 0.6× that median. No single fault was reported unusually often, and it did not reach the 2.5× threshold this site flags at. It has 5 recalls, listed below.
Generation 4 of the Honda Accord, which began in 2018 and ran to 2022. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Honda Accord was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
