The same components appear in both official NHTSA recalls and owner-filed complaints — a double-confirmed failure signal.
1.5L VTEC Turbo: documented gasoline fuel diluting engine oil in cold climates — Honda extended warranty and class action settlement
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.

The dashboard on the vehicle lights up with multiple error notifications. This puts the vehicle in limp mode. Indicates emissions errors, check engine, lane mitigation, brakes, control system. Per different customers this fault is being caused by either faulty fuel injector, miss fire, bad ignition coils, damage head gaskets, or turbo mechanism faulty. My vehicle has 70,000 miles and others in the chat have less miles that are having similar problems. Head gaskets should not fail so soon with proper maintenance. My obd2 scan code is miss fire which could Indicate faulty spark plugs, coil, injector or headgasket. For a vehicle at 70,000 miles this shouldn't happen. Vehicle has been maintained as the manufacturer recommendations
We’re driving home when the vehicle suddenly had a significant reduction in power and the car would not accelerate beyond 5 mph. Honda calls it “limp mode”. I was approximately 2 to 3 miles from home. Approximately 20 vehicles swerved passed us at normal road speeds of approximately 50 mph. The only warning light that came on was a flashing “check engine” light. The vehicle towed to Elk Grove Honda, I initially thought it may the turbocharger because I could hear a grinding sound emitting from that area. EG Honda diagnosed the issue as coolant leaking into the cylinder, which caused the misfire from a faulty head gasket. It is understood this faulty head gasket issue is part of a California class action lawsuit related to 2018-2022 Honda 1.5L turbocharged VTEC engines.
I was driving down a 45mph street when my car shut down, complete power failure. Dashboard lit up with all kinds of warnings. It had to be towed to the nearest shop.
Pulling out in front of High Speed Traffic, Engine went into Safe Mode with Check Engine Light. Fortunately a car at high speed avoided rear ending my car. Upon evaluation, DTC Code P0303 (Cylinder 3 - Misfire) was present. Coils and Spark Plugs were changed but car was still misfiring. Honda has a Warranty for 150k/ 10 year on Fuel Injectors but this VIN was not on list based on Honda Service Department. The Honda Service Department evaluated and Car has Head Gasket Leak in Cylinder 3. This is a widely known problem reported on many Honda Owner websites and Honda Service acknowledged it was an issue but is not a “Recall” despite the potential Safety Risk on the Road when car goes in to Protect / Shutdown Mode. The nature of this issue occurring on a well maintained car with 147k miles that is 8 years old and not being a Recall and a Safety related item is being reported by me as me and my family could have been impacted by a rear end collision as car shut down / protect mode. This could and likely has occurred to other owners and possibly attributed to accidents and Safety of passengers. Honda wants over 11k to repair the car which includes Fuel Injectors / Plugs / Coils / New Head as they reflect old head can’t be used even if machined / Head Gasket. This issue is a Safety related issue and should be a Honda Recall as the Head Bolts are a known design issue causing premature failure of the Head Gasket. Submitting this to document my incident, protect the public driving this model and year and hopefully providing information to warrant a recall so that all repairs will be performed under Recall Warranty. Also to protect the public from a Honda Accord Safety issue for 2018 Honda Accord LX.
I just submitted a complaint but wanted to add that after my car lost all power on a 45mph road and went into limp mode it then was towed to the closest shop. I do have a warranty but when I called Honda they said it wasn't covered The shop I took it to charged me 4100 dollars for a blown head gasket which from researching it looks like this is happening to all 2018 Honda accords This is low mileage and unacceptable , turns out after I called and told Honda they refused to pay because I had already had the shop look for the problem So I had to pay 4100 for an issue Honda clearly knows about This is unfair and Honda needs to fix this issue
The head gasket failed which caused the vehicle to stall out while driving which poses a safety threat to the driver and others due to other vehicles possibly colliding with the vehicle when stalling out. Also, this issue cause the warning light of the engine overheating, which required me to pull over while driving to prevent additional damage to the engine. The vehicle was taken to a nearby dealership for repairs that cost 3,898.91. Upon research, this is a standard issue with this year, make, and model that Honda has refused to address through a recall.
2018 Honda Accord with blown head gasket. Vehicle has a 1.5L turbo charged engine and 100,000 miles.
The vehicle began to overheat while traveling at fair speeds (35mph) on state road. Thermostat reading increased to H and vehicle note read “vehicle overheating” please park car. Car temperature read over 104 degrees Fahrenheit. No check engine light present. Vehicle was parked and turned off to cool.
I am experiencing an ongoing issue with my 2018 Honda Accord LX 1.5L where multiple warning lights on the dashboard illuminate simultaneously without warning, often described as the dash lighting up “like a Christmas tree.” These lights include (but are not limited to) collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, power steering, and other safety-related systems. The issue appears to occur intermittently and without a clear cause. When this happens, several driver-assist and safety features become disabled, which raises serious safety concerns while operating the vehicle. After researching this problem, I have found numerous reports from other Honda Accord owners experiencing the exact same issue across various online forums and communities. Many of these individuals have also been advised to file complaints with NHTSA due to the widespread nature of the problem. This appears to be a potential systemic or electrical issue that affects multiple critical safety systems at once. I believe this defect could pose a significant safety risk and should be investigated further.
When Tpms light comes on, all safety features including cruise control become disabled. Lane assist and collision safety features become disabled. On top of that, I have had Honda look at my rear end after they replaced a rear upper control arm after being in a ditch and at 246,000 current miles, I have replaced my tires 16 times due to the rear tires ripping the tread off between 10-15k. If there was nothing else wrong, why have I spent between $10,000-$15,000 miles on tires? I have had numerous alignments at Honda and elsewhere. Marion Honda claims it’s normal! I was told I can put adjustable control arms on. I have met other Honda accord sport 1.5t owners with 50k miles on one set of tires, yet I can’t get more than 15k on the rear tires. Clearly something is bent or incorrect currently I am re replacing the upper control arm.. They say the alignment rack does not flag anything. I have bought between Goodyear, Michelin, and Pirelli tires they also replaced a turbo, only for a few months later to have a pressure problem that Findlay Honda found I was missing an oring in the turbo or intercooler. How? Orings do not call out. Fast forward 18 months and another bad turbo on this lemon!
My air conditioner EVAPORATOR CORE HAS A HUGE LEAK. Dealership told me they just go bad its not even 10 yrs old 2018 Honda accord ex just go bad a hole ?? Honda extended the condenser warranty to the evaporated core but the dealership said no just the condenser I'm sorry. But you got lot people out here with just hole in there evaporator core this is not normal and to be told its 2800 to fix and could go bad again in 5 yrs . My air conditioner was fine in September 2025 now April 2026 a hole leaking ?????
I have bought this car new in 2018, The issue that I’m having is that ..I’ll be driving on the highway or local my car will brake on its own without any hazards in front of it . It’s very dangerous it almost caused me an accident on the highway .
In 2018 Honda Accord with the 1.5-liter, four-cylinder turbo engine that had a head gasket fail at 110k miles which has been diagnosed and confirmed by local Honda dealer with misfire codes/counts on cylinder 1 due to coolant leaking inside cylinder 1 and 2 due to this bad head gasket. Due to the bad head gasket and coolant leaking into cylinders, this caused the fuel injectors to clog and fail. Creating rough idling and poor engine performance, which could cause car to stall at any point, creating a safety concern for those in the car if stalled/stuck on public roads. Additional discovery information found here of Honda America acknowledging the defect and encouraging dealerships to report this issue with incentives.

All warning lights are on the dash. Came on while driving.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The failure was intermittent. The failure had occurred while attempting to start the vehicle, while the vehicle was idling, and while the vehicle was being driven. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics, however the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was taken to an alternate independent mechanic; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact was informed that the failure might be a communication issue with the software. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
All alarms are on. Breaks adaptive cruise control hill assist and all other alarms. Taken in to 2 Honda deals and serval mechanics they cannot figure out what’s wrong with it. About once a month all the alarms will clear while driving and the car sensors will start making the car drive odd. Have to fight the steering wheel to keep it straight and wheels will independently break, thinking it’s sliding but it’s not. Extremely dangerous on snowy road or wet roads.
The car misfires very badly. I have changed the fuel injectors, fuel pump, spark plugs and the ignition coils to no avail. Also, car randomly showed to be overheating one day, got home and checked and my coolant level had dropped dramatically very quickly. The car has since been diagnosed with a bad head gasket.
I was driving and the engine light started flashing, the car started to hesitate and would not go over 20 mph. I took it to the Honda dealership in Frisco, TX and they diagnosed the issue using Boroscope and recommended Head Gasket replacement with spark plugs due to plugs being fouled from coolant leaking into combustion chamber.
On June 13, 2025, the fuel pump was replaced due to a recall. After the fuel pump was replaced and, in particular, after reading the Honda forums for this car, all the warning lights in the instrument cluster came on. After my mechanic checked my car and, with his knowledge of this type of vehicle, he recommended replacing the fuel injectors at 86,000 miles. Honda recommends replacing the fuel injectors at 1000 k. In the forums, this is what owners of the 2018 Honda Accord are doing.
This car has a faulty motor that Honda is well aware of. The head gaskets crack, and the antifreeze leaks into the cylinder. Specifically, Cylinder 3. My car is at the dealership, and the repairs are 6500. They refuse to acknowledge this problem and currently have a class action lawsuit because of this very issue. I need a car because I am a full-time student.
2018–2022 Accord models with 1.5L turbocharged engines are experiencing premature head gasket failures. Honda is facing class-action lawsuits regarding these engines, and there are known Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for issues like cylinder misfires. Full injectors .
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the head gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.
A supplemental restraint warning came on dashboard, I noticed other accord owners are experiencing the same this light has to do with possibly airbags or seatbelts making it possibly unsafe to drive.
I am reporting a failed remedy for Recall 24-009 (23V-858). Following the fuel pump recall, my 2018 Accord stalled in traffic on March 21. On March 24 upon starting my vehicle all warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard, Millennium Honda admitted the O-ring was misinstalled. This error triggered codes P0172/P0176 less than twenty-four hours later. The dealer is forcing me to pay $425 for damage caused by their botched recall repair.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the engine overheated while parked, with the message "Engine Temperature too High - Do not Drive - Allow Engine to Cool Down" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, where the spark plugs and battery were replaced, however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with head gasket failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,500.
Failing head gasket - cars stalls. Coolant reservoir goes empty. Check engine light go on.
I started driving this vehicle and all of a sudden it started slowing down, and would not go up to speed. I had it fixed, the car started skipping, making a jerking movement while driving. I made an appointment with Tameron Honda of Birmingham on 3/26/26. As soon as I pulled up to Honda dealership the engine light was on. The company was trying to bill me 6100 dollars for fixing the car. I do not have that amount on hand and I need my car. I had to drive my car away from the dealership while it was in idle mode state into traffic the car moved so slowly that I could have wrecked. The dealership did not do their due diligence by going off of the vin number and making sure that the customer is safe with their brand. I was told that they did a full inspection at the dealership. I have been scared to drive this vehicle since the issue keeps happening.
Head gasket blown, apparently this has been a known problem with Honda, which they are refusing to repair, noting mine did not come from a specific factory. [XXX] 2018 ACCORD 1.5 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
As soon as I got to work and put it in park I got a message on the dashboard saying “Engine Temperature Too Hot. Do Not Drive. Allow Engine To Cool”. No other warning signs were shown before this. I looked up on google what maybe it meant and to my findings it mentioned gasket and all I noticed recent complaints and claims filed with 2018 Honda accords for a known issue with these Honda accord sport 2018 models for blows gaskets.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord equipped with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The vehicle has experienced multiple instances of false collision warnings and phantom braking. The issue occasionally occurs when approaching overhead interstate signs. In most cases, the system flashes brake warnings briefly and then clears. However, on one occasion during rainy conditions a few years ago, the vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes at highway speed with no obstacle present. The vehicle has undergone multiple camera calibrations (this may have also included the radar), but the problem persists. This creates a serious safety hazard, particularly at highway speeds where sudden braking could result in a rear-end collision. The issue appears to be related to false object detection by the ADAS system, potentially involving radar or sensor misinterpretation.
Almost all of the 1.5T engines (L15BE) are having head gasket issue where the gasket slowly fails over time resulting in slow coolant loss and at one point sudden overheating causing block and head warping die to design flaw ( groove in between the cylinders resulting in lack of effective and enough surface area for the head gasket to seal the combustion chambers). It has been confirmed by Honda techs and by average 100k to 140k, all engines are failing and the dealers are raking up $ 6k to 9k charge for each change or even having to need new engines half the time. This process of slow leak results in sudden loss of power at highway speeds or acceleration and causing extreme danger of getting hit and having accidents. Took vehicle to mechanic and confirmed coolant leak inside cylinder 4 and 3.
I owned a 2018 Honda Accord,i got it new from the dealership so im the only owner of this vehicle. my headlights keep building condensations prematurely causing them to fail . I have already replaced multple headlights because of this . also when the bulbs go out honda made it where the bulbs can not be replaced at all. these headlights cost close to $1000 each plus 500 in labor to installed. theres should be a recall for this as its costing me soo much money . I hoping we must hold accountability to its highest level so consumer dont have suffer like this. Thank you so much for reading!
Major head gasket failure with no warning while pulling out onto a busy road. There is a major design flaw with the head gasket, no recalls or preventative notices from Honda whatsoever! My wife was put into a dangerous situation once the car went to limp mode with no warning while getting onto a busy road. Multiple lights on the dash lit up when the car entered limp mode. The car was immediately towed to a Honda dealership and was diagnosed with a blown head gasket. Service manager stated this is a VERY common occurrence and is indeed a design flaw. Car was fixed with no help from Honda for their faulty design $5100...
The AC system on my 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T stopped blowing cold air due to refrigerant leaks in both the AC condenser and AC evaporator. The condenser is covered under Honda's warranty extension (Service Bulletin 21-018) which acknowledges a manufacturing defect where R-1234yf refrigerant corrodes the condenser tube walls. The dealer confirmed the evaporator is also leaking from the same corrosion defect. The dealer states both must be repaired together because the system cannot hold refrigerant with a leaking evaporator. Honda corporate is refusing to cover the evaporator repair despite it being caused by the same known manufacturing defect. This is a systemic issue affecting 2018-2020 Accords and other Honda models using the same AC components and R-1234yf refrigerant.
Head gasket had to be changed out. I have seen multiple cars having the same issue with this model. The vehicle sputtered and would not let me drive above 40mph. It was a safety issue when I first had it and it occurred in the freeway.
While driving at highway speed, the engine suddenly stalled without warning, resulting in a complete loss of power. This created a dangerous situation as I was unable to maintain speed or safely maneuver with surrounding traffic. At the time of the incident, all electrical warning lights illuminated on the dashboard simultaneously. Prior to this event, there were no clear warnings indicating imminent failure. The vehicle was later diagnosed with a failed head gasket and turbocharger issues. The sudden engine stall while in motion presents a serious safety risk, particularly at highway speeds, as it increases the likelihood of a crash due to loss of propulsion and reduced driver control. This issue appears to have occurred unexpectedly and without adequate warning
Transmission started bucking at 50k miles, the problem has gotten substantially worse at 60k miles. Rough downshifting and upshifting in low gears. Will slam into gears 2-3 often and cause driver and passengers to lurch forward. Will cause very rough acceleration at times and causes a danger in traffic given the speed becomes unpredictable. Transmission does not know what gear to be in even after ATF type 2.0 fluid change following dealer procedure. This is putting me and other drivers at risk because I cannot control my speed when transmission is slamming in between gears. No warning lamps, undetected by cars TCU.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35-40 MPH, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. No warning light was illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH in the fast lane, the vehicle experienced head gasket failure. The vehicle lost automotive power and decelerated to 5 MPH. The contact was able to pull over safely. The engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer the next day, where it was diagnosed with a misfire in cylinders #2 and #3, a computer code malfunction, and a blown head gasket. The vehicle was partially repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and assisted with the cost of the repair. The manufacturer confirmed there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 118,000.
Car was jerking when acceleration. Dealer inspected the vehicle and said the head gasket is blown. It overheated a day after Honda dealership fixed my water pump.
My turbo and fuel injectors went out at the same time. It has been fixed, so I don't think it can be inspected My safety was put at risk. The car randomly went into limp mode on the interstate at high speeds and suddenly came to almost a complete stop Yes, it was inspected by a mechanic, everyone with a 2018 honda accords are having this issue Yes, it was inspected by a mechanic. No warning lamps or anything, just a blinking check engine light that appeared for the first time ever.
Head gasket failed at 58k miles without overheating per assessment at honda dealership. Safety was affected by going into limp mode instantly turning left onto 55 mph 4 lane road, no warning lights prior going into limp mode. Brief misfire occurred prior to incident, (did not know at time because it did not seem significant and no warning light). Dealer reports multiple 2018 honda accord 1.5L head gasket and fuel injector failures. Unknown if manufacture would inspect. In addition fuel injector has completely failed and requires replacement per honda dealership assessment, this occurred after dealership repaired head gasket. Waiting for final repair invoice, can and will provide upon request
Experiencing an ongoing issue where multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard at the same time. The lights include several safety and system warnings, making it look like many different systems in the vehicle are malfunctioning simultaneously. Even after repairs were made, the dashboard warning lights continue to stay on or return shortly after. It has become frustrating because the vehicle continues to show problems even when something has already been fixed. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. How can we know if something is actually malfunctioning if codes are being thrown, constantly?? We also can’t use the safety features included with the vehicle when this is happening. Having so many warning lights on at once also creates concern about the reliability and safety of the vehicle, especially since several of the warnings relate to important systems such as braking, driver assistance features, and engine performance. Repairs aren’t helping and I’m seeing sooooo many other 2018 accord owners with the same issue, as has been documented with this site, NHTSA
I took my accord into Snellville GA Honda dealer for fuel pump recall and the day I received it from the service department, it started to sputtter and engine shutdown. I took back 3 times and got a different answer each time. I believe the turbo charger may have been affected from the fuel pump being bad. The latest diagnostic says it has turbo under boost issue.
I am submitting a claim regarding a major repair needed on my 2018 Honda Accord. The vehicle was recently diagnosed at an authorized Honda dealership, where technicians determined that the engine requires a head gasket repair. I was quoted approximately $7,000 for the repair. Based on the research I have done, premature head gasket failure appears to be a known and recurring issue reported by other owners of this model, often occurring around 100,000 miles or even sooner. This type of failure at this mileage is unexpected for a properly maintained vehicle and raises concern about a potential defect or design issue. Additionally, the vehicle showed no clear warning signs prior to the diagnosis. There were no dashboard warnings or indicators that would have alerted me to an imminent failure, which made it impossible to address the problem before significant damage occurred. Given the nature of the failure, the relatively low mileage for such a major engine issue, and the high repair cost quoted by the dealership, I am requesting that this matter be reviewed and that assistance or coverage for the repair be considered.
While driving in a busy area with pedestrians and other vehicles, my car hard braked out of nowhere to a complete stop for no reason. I was nearly rear ended. The adaptive cruise control shuts off completely after 15 minutes in use. Says to take it to the nearest dealership. Turning off and restarting the car gets rid of the notification.
After recent service from local honda dealership vehicle started to drive sluggish. Had all fluids changed and the coolant flushed when serviced at the dealership. The vehicle now displays several different alerts upon start up "Emissions systems failure" Brake system failure" Hill Assist failure" Power Steering failure". Vehicle was returned to dealership and it was determined the head gaskets need to be replaced due to coolant leaking. This vehicle has been maintained consistently with documentation and shouldn't have this type of failure with only 100k miles. Repairs are $4800 and this should definitely be investigated because this is common in Honda Accord model years 2018-2022.
Error message "Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer." comes on everyday. I understand this is a Honda well known issue and they refuse to recall.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights became illuminated on the instrument panel. The steering wheel failed to move, and the power steering warning light illuminated, and the steering wheel functionality became limited. In another occurrence, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled, and it shut off, but was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and diagnosed with an electrical failure, but the vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the battery was replaced, and the sensor box was cleaned; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
A 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T developed an engine misfire, coolant loss, and reduced acceleration shortly after purchase from a dealership on 01/07/2026 (around 156,000 miles / 15,000). On 01/23/2026, during a Honda dealer inspection at about 157,255 miles, the technician noted misfires on startup, found the coolant overflow reservoir empty, pressure-tested the system, and confirmed coolant leaking into cylinders 3 and 4 from the head gasket. The dealer recommended head gasket replacement plus spark plugs, drive belt, and valve adjustment. I was told that continued driving could worsen the condition, leading to overheating and further engine damage. After that diagnosis, the vehicle’s drivability worsened, and it became unsafe to rely on due to misfires and loss of acceleration, especially on the highway. The selling dealership refused to assist, claiming the defect was not present at the time of sale; Honda America acknowledged the head gasket concern but denied a goodwill claim, citing the high cost of the issue and lack of NHTSA enforcement on this issue. An independent repair shop then provided a second inspection/estimate consistent with the same head-gasket repair scope. The vehicle and repair records are available for inspection. No crash or injury occurred, but the defect caused a sudden loss of power and overheating while driving; I was stuck on the highway on two occasions with my hazard lights on after acceleration completely halted. Warning symptoms (the engine light) only appeared when the car suddenly stopped accelerating. Two days after an around-5,000 headgasket repair, drivability problems and multiple dashboard warnings appeared, including turbo-related concerns; this concern is ongoing.
The rear brakes on my 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T (Six Speed Manual Transmission) have failed prematurely. This failure of the pads and rotors was confirmed, at the request of American Honda, by me at my local Honda dealer, and was documented in a response to American Honda. This occurred at 46,150 miles which i believe indicates a defective design in that the brake calipers, pads and rotors as a system were not built to the capacity needed to support Honda's design of this car that greatly increases the workload on the rear brakes. I am a very careful driver and minimize the use of brakes as a result. My calculation is that these brakes have failed at 1/4th the life that it would be reasonable to expect. The result is increased safety risk to car owners and drivers who do not act on this premature failure due to it not being normal or expected or affordable. Honda has effectively, through this brake design, implemented a need for car owners to enact a 750 repair on a frequency close to routine maintenance such as oil changes.
Everytime I try to turn my wheel it’ll get stiff and the notification will pop up saying “electric power steering system” but then it’ll go back to normal and when I start the car it sounds like it doesn’t want to start at all and like the cords are trying to connect because they start making a ticking sound. I’ve had issues with electrical before to where the airbags and lane assist had to be fixed but the issues seems to keep circling back around. Something going on with the electrical in the car and I have only had it for about a year and a half.
See attached document for complaint.
I was driving and all the lights on the dash board came on. Including the engine light. I took the vehicle to the dealership service center and they said the turbo function of my engine was failing. and it was still covered under warranty so they fixed that. One day after the picking it up all the lights came back on. I took it back and they stated that the fuel injectors are failing thus causing engine misfires resulting in the engine light coming back on and the car randomly stalling or slowing. They indicated that the fuel injectors are NOT covered and repairs are around 2,400.00, I believe this should be covered because there was a previous recall on the fuel on the fuel pump (which is connected to the injectors). Also I don't understand how the "turbo" was still covered under warranty but the injectors are not. Upon doing my research this is a known problem on this make and model and Honda should correct the known defect.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord and have been experiencing an ongoing issue where multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard at the same time. The lights include several safety and system warnings, making it look like many different systems in the vehicle are malfunctioning simultaneously. I have taken the vehicle to be serviced and attempted to fix the issues that were identified. However, even after repairs were made, the dashboard warning lights continue to stay on or return shortly after. It has become frustrating because the vehicle continues to show problems even when something has already been repaired. This situation makes it difficult to know whether there is a real safety issue occurring with the car or if the warning system itself is malfunctioning. Having so many warning lights on at once also creates concern about the reliability and safety of the vehicle, especially since several of the warnings relate to important systems such as braking, driver assistance features, and engine performance. After researching the issue, I discovered that many other owners of the 2018 Honda Accord have reported experiencing the same problem with multiple dashboard warnings appearing at once. Because this appears to be a widespread issue, I am submitting this complaint so it can be documented and investigated further. I believe there may be an underlying defect causing these repeated warning lights despite repairs being made.
A 2018 Honda Accord suddenly displayed multiple dashboard warning messages at the same time after previously operating normally. The warnings include: Emission System Problem (avoid heavy acceleration), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) problem, Brake System problem, Brake Hold System problem, Electric Power Steering system problem, Vehicle Stability Assist problem, Hill Start Assist problem, Adaptive Cruise Control system problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System problem, and Road Departure Mitigation System problem. These alerts appeared simultaneously when the vehicle was started, even though the car had been driven the night before without any issues. The vehicle still starts and runs, but the number of system warnings suggests a possible electrical, sensor, or control module issue affecting multiple vehicle systems.
Head Gasket Failure at 121,000. It has also affected the spark plugs. We were quoted a 4300 repair at the Honda Dealership in Carlsbad. Engine displayed all lights and went on power loss mode and suddenly couldn't go more than 5-10 MPH, so we had to tow it. Was dangerous getting such a slow car into a parking lot safely.
Head Gasket caused multiple issues with coolant burning quickly. Multiple ignition coils also got damaged and had to be replaced. Though the underlying issue with the gasket was not addressed by the dealership. The head gasket is currently broken and does not function at all and the car has only driven 84000 miles.
Blown head gasket
All dash lights are on and the Honda dealership told me I have a blown head gasket, need a turbo replacement & fuel pump in which I wasn’t able to drive the car for 7 months at 112,276 miles..This seems like a known issue for this make and model vehicle after 100,000 miles
There are many warming lamps on in the car. My car won't pick up speed it in limp mode once I crank up. I have to turn it off and restart any order for it to go and pick up speed. My number 3 plug keep showing something wrong it has been replaced multiple times but still having the same issue. I had it checked out it's saying the same problem fuel. I have had my fuel pump change and still having problems. 2018 are bad models for honda and there should be multiple recalls because everyone having the same problems. Head gaskets,fuel injection, turbo problems as well as fuel pump
Wastegate actuator is no longer working and turbo on vehicle is no longer working as needed. My car currently has every warning light on the dashboard and fails to provide all advanced driver assistance systems that come with my vehicle making it unsafe. The problem has been addressed by Honda dealership service themselves as my code came back that it is a turbocharger wastegate sensor issue. Car has not been inspected by a manufacturer, police, insurance. All warning lights went off on car over two years ago from 2026.
My Honda is shifting harsh going into 5th gear and sometimes reverse is not available. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they are telling me I need a new transmission to the tune of $9,600. It only has 64,000 miles and the warranty recently expired. I took the car to another mechanic and he told me the same thing. There is no way that the transmission should go out at such low miles. Honda needs to step up and take care of this problem. There are many complaints about this issue but nothing is being done. I have the 7 year/100,00 mile warrany but the car is a 2018. This was the first year of the 10-speed transmission and many people are having problems. This needs to be addressed.
On February 26, 2025 I was driving my 2018 Honda Accord Sport (118,000 miles) with a 1.5t engine on a 55mph 2 lane roadway at approximately 55mph with 4-5 cars behind me when the engine suddenly went into "limp" mode and quickly decelerated to approximately 25 mph. I could see the cars behind me suddenly brake to avoid hitting me. I pull off on the shoulder, turned my car off and restarted. The car then drove normally to home. I took the car to the Honda dealer who diagnosed a blown head gasket. The sudden deceleration was caused by a misfire due to coolant entering the combustion chamber during the combustion cycle. The sudden deceleration almost caused an accident. When this happens the Accord does not warn the drivers behind with brake lights or flashers. I had the head gasket replaced at a cost of $4000+ The dealer's mechanic believes the cause is improper head bolt torque specs at the factory. Honda is aware of the a head gasket problem with the 2018-2020 Accord 1.5t engine, see Honda's NHTSA filings attached offering visa cards to mechanics who report head gasket failures, yet refuses to recall the engine or pay for replacing the head gasket unless under warranty. This is my 4th Accord (1985, 1986, 2007, 2018). I have never had any engine problems with my other three Accords. Honda needs to recall this engine and correct the head gasket problem so as to avoid unannounced, uncontrolled, and unintended deceleration at highway speeds due to going into limp mode (70-75 mph on interstates down to 25 mph) that can cause following cars to crash into the Accord. I purchased the car with 22,000 miles on the odometer and performed regular maintenance since I purchased it. See comments beginning on page 2: https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/blown-head-gasket-any-recall.559243/?post_id=6844792#post-6844792
It appears to be either the fuel pump or fuel injectors, at certain times of acceleration the car stops accelerating, the engine light blinks, I have to shut the car off and restart it. It seems like if I slow my car down then try to accelerate, like going through a roundabout or sitting in stop and go traffic really seems to set the problem off. I took it to a Honda dealership a couple years ago and they informed me it was fuel injectors but they were not in stock, they assured me the car was fine to drive, I called a couple times to ask if they had gotten the part, they sternly told me they would call me, anyways they never called me and it still happens, there is a recall out for other 2018 Honda Accords that seem to have a similar problem. All my lights are constantly on due to this problem, none of the features on my car work. Sometimes if I reset my battery the lights are fine for a while but the problem still persists. If I "Rev" my car up and gas it pretty hard when I immediately start driving it seems to help.
The high-pressure fuel pump on my 2018 Honda Accord failed even though the vehicle had previously been repaired under a recall for the same issue. While driving, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, including the check engine light and other system warnings. The vehicle began running rough and lost power, creating a dangerous driving condition, especially in traffic. This is the second occurrence of fuel system failure despite the recall repair being completed. The recurrence of this issue raises serious safety concerns, as sudden power loss or engine malfunction while driving increases the risk of an accident. The vehicle is currently not safe to drive due to the risk of stalling or loss of power. The problem appears to be related to the high-pressure fuel pump system that was previously addressed under recall.
I was driving on the interstate and suddenly I could no longer accelerate, my engine light started blinking and I had to pull over to a gas station as my car would not go above 25-30mph. I turned it off and back on and it work so I took it home. I took it to Honda’s the next day and after diagnosis they said that my head gasket was damaged causing coolant leaking into my engine cylinder and warping of the engine. They recommended an engine replacement. I never had any warning indications on my dashboard until then. I filed a case with American Honda to assist with repairs and it has been over two weeks without resolution. I no longer felt safe continuing to drive my car and I traded my car in for safety.
I have a blown head gasket which is a common problem with this vehicle. I have 85k miles. The car started to blow out smoke from the tailpipe which is very heavy.
My vehicle announced to me it has a Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See your dealer.
I wanted to report that this vehicle, according to Carfax, had 169,236 miles on August 15, 2025, and 9/4/25, and 85,326 miles on January 24, 2026. That's only 4 months! The odometer was tampered with, and this seller knew it was altered because it went through 5 different sellers in those 4 months. I don't know if their reports are true or false, which is why I'm writing to see if you can help me.
Engine Head gasket failure even after regular proper maintenance
I had to have $6400.00 worth of repairs (2018 Honda Accord Sport ) due to stalling & engine light came on and then it wouldn't go-due to the head gasket not being recalled and since they had the engine out, i also had to have other repairs they said were necessary plus car rental on top of that...I had only made my 2 car pymts when this happened!
Car initiated emergency auto break while traveling on the freeway at high speed (70 plus mph) in Phoenix, AZ for no reasons. There were no objects or cars within 500 feet, however I was approaching an overpass. This occurred multiple times on the freeway and on local roads. Reported to Honda, no fix.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that one of the tires was punctured by a nail, and after the tire was replaced, the check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an Auto Zone, where it was diagnosed, and determined that there was a misfire in cylinder #2. The vehicle was then taken to a certified mechanic who replaced the cylinder, engine, ignition coil, and spark plug. After the vehicle was repaired, it was returned to Auto Zone to be diagnosed again. The contact was informed that there was a misfire in cylinder #2. The vehicle was returned to the mechanic, and it was confirmed that the spark plug in cylinder #2 was new. The contact continued driving the vehicle; however, a month later, several warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with a misfire in cylinder #2. The dealer recommended replacing the fuel injectors and that an alignment of the radar was needed, and there was a failure with the transmission fluid, the CVT, and a software failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was previously included in a recall for the failure; however, the recall repair was already performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The car can't start because of the recall
My dashboard lite up like a Christmas tree. I took my car to Honda dealership. They put it on the diagnostic machine. A blown head gasket, Honda quoted me a repair price of $4400.
The cylinder head gasket on this vehicle has failed, causing engine coolant to leak into the combustion chambers (coolant intrusion). This has resulted in a recurring and dangerous loss of motive power that has put my safety and the safety of other motorists at risk on multiple occasions. Specifically, the vehicle has repeatedly entered "Limp Mode" while in active traffic, causing a sudden, drastic loss of acceleration that left me unable to maintain the flow of traffic or safely maneuver. This component failure is available for inspection upon request. The problem has been officially confirmed by Holman Honda of Fort Lauderdale, where technicians diagnosed the blown head gasket and confirmed the presence of coolant in the cylinders. The manufacturer's authorized dealership has inspected the vehicle and provided a formal repair estimate. Prior to the multiple "Limp Mode" failures, the vehicle exhibited clear warning symptoms starting in late 2025, including violent engine stuttering and a "shimmering" vibration during cold starts. Additionally, a distinct "gurgling" or bubbling sound was audible behind the dashboard, indicating combustion gases displacing coolant. During the actual failure events, the dashboard displayed a "Christmas Tree" effect of warning lamps, including "Emissions System Problem," "Brake System," and "Power Steering System" alerts, which disabled critical safety and driver-assist features while the vehicle was in motion. This persistent design defect has created a high risk for rear-end collisions and total engine seizure.
Over the past several years, there have been multiple instances where I or my wife are driving on the highway and the engine light comes on or starts flashing, and I am unable to go faster than 50 miles an hour, and the engine itself feels to be underpowered. We have taken it to the dealership for repair at least five times over the past five years and in each case they have attempted to do a repair and said the issue has been resolved, but the issue continue. At at least one of those visits, they have diagnosed the issue as an engine misfire issue. The issue has intensified from the initial symptoms, (which were as I described, but resolved by turning the car off, waiting 30 seconds to a minute and then turning the car on again) to how it is now: in addition to the check engine light, every other light and warning system has gone off when driving on the highway and the engine was unable to go faster than 40 miles an hour, and it does not resolve by restarting the car. The dealership and Honda America’s main phone line have as of yet been unable to give me a clear answer as to why this is happening or whether it can be fixed. A sudden drop in speed and power on the highway as we have experienced many times over the last five years is inherently extremely dangerous.
I purchased this 2018 Honda Accord Sport brand new from the dealership, relying on Honda’s longstanding reputation for reliability and longevity. At approximately 120,000 miles, the vehicle suffered a blown head gasket during normal driving conditions. The vehicle has been properly maintained according to Honda’s recommended schedule. I have already opened a claim with Honda corporate regarding this issue and am currently awaiting their response. Despite proper maintenance, this catastrophic engine failure occurred, suggesting a design or manufacturing defect rather than misuse. This issue presents both a safety concern and a substantial financial burden, as I am a single mother of four who depends on this vehicle for daily transportation. Based on reports from other owners, this appears to be a widespread defect affecting 10th-generation Honda Accords with the 1.5L turbo engine, which I respectfully request NHTSA investigate.
Head gasket failure. Dealership did inspect vehicle and said this is a common issue. No warning prior to headgasket issue.
Sacramento ca , Car stopped in the middle of the highway couldn’t accelerate, won’t let me advance past 20 mph gas fuel was changed earlier in 2025 but I’m sure it’s the fuel injectors
My supplemental restraint system problem keeps appearing on my dash at random times, sometimes will go away then sometimes will stay for over a year. I have heard this is ongoing and Honda has not issued a recall.
After I took my car in for a fuel pump recall, it caused one of my injectors to be bad which will be 3000 dollars fix out of my pocket. this happened a few months after I took my car to the dealership, and it was doing fine before taken to the dealership for the recall. there are many other owners who reported they experienced the same thing, with all the dash lights came on but couldn’t find the exact cause until they replace their fuel injectors. First, all the alarms appeared, even the engine light was on but they would all go away after a few days. It had been on and off randomly for the past 4 months. the car is still driving fine but the alarms will pop up and stay for a few weeks to a month. It would randomly not letting me accelerate and slow me down, which if i was driving on the highway all the way in the left with traffic, that would cause a traffic jam and eventually an accident with other drivers.
The first time was at 93,000 miles where my car started to surge and went into limp mode but once I shut the car off and turned it back on everything went away and the car was fine. It did happen a couple more times, but as soon as I would shut the car off and turn it back on the code was cleared and by the time I got it to a mechanic there was no known code.This last time was at 220,000 miles I was just entering the freeway and once on the freeway, my car started to power surge really bad jolting me back-and-forth back-and-forth. This did not let me continue to finish reaching my highway rate of speed with cars coming up fast behind me nearly hitting me. Car continued to surge, and then went into limp mode and I had to pull over on the side of the freeway. I brought my car into Honda of San Bruno, California. They informed me after inspection that I had a cylinder three misfire due to a bad head gasket. They are receiving 3 to 4 of these a day and is a huge problem. I later found out that there’s a class action lawsuit for this head gasket failure that put me in danger and now has my car sitting in front of my house unable to drive.
Serval warning lights come on in my vehicle I’ve have seen this happen in other models of this car and nothing has fixed it. Car drives fine.
Transmission keeps malfunctioning from 1-2 and 2-3 gear shifts. Mainly prominent on the 2-3 gear shift having issues. Severe transmission jerk and sometimes slams into the next gear. This has been happening since I bought the car at 52k miles and it is currently at 62k miles. It can be available for inspection upon request. It also jerks on downshift. The transmission fluid has been drained and filled with Honda genuine atf 2.0 but the issue still persists after the service. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. It has put my safety at risk because in low speed traffic my speed is unpredictable and I am worried of hitting a car in front of me. It is also an issue for vehicles behind me as well because the vehicle cannot find the gear and doesn't accelerate properly. When it slams into the next gear it seems to be a severe safety hazard for me and my passengers.
Headgasket seems to be forming a leak. Checked coolant today, zero leaks on coolant system but coolant was extremely low. It is sad to see that Honda has become so unreliable.
The vehicle experienced a catastrophic engine malfunction resulting in a no-start condition. The vehicle is currently inoperable and is available for inspection upon request. The engine failure caused the vehicle to lose power and become unreliable, creating a risk of breakdown while driving, which could have resulted in being stranded in traffic or an unsafe location and posed a risk to my personal safety and the safety of others. Yes. An independent repair facility confirmed the vehicle would not start and diagnosed the engine as failed. The vehicle was subsequently towed to another facility, where the condition was again documented. The vehicle has been inspected by independent repair facilities. The extended warranty company, Route 66, reviewed the claim and denied coverage based on their assessment. No inspection by the manufacturer or law enforcement has occurred. Prior to the failure, the vehicle exhibited warning indicators and operational issues, including overheating symptoms. These issues worsened over time and ultimately resulted in complete engine failure and a no-start condition.
Tachometer/speedometer screen completely black or dark. It will show the Honda logo and make sound. But once I’m driving or once the car is started it doesn’t show any rpm’s or the menu for miles, safety information or anything on that screen.
The vehicle experienced a rough idle and white smoke blowing out the exhaust on a cold startup. It did have coolant loss over a period of time with no visible leaks. I waited until I got a check engine code that revealed a misfire in cylinder 4. Upon further diagnostic testing it was revealed that the head gasket was blown between cylinders 3 and 4. I paid for the repair out of pocket only to see that this is a very common issue with the 1.5 turbo engine.
When I was accelerating the vehicle on 12/21/2025, a flashing check engine light came on, and the car started driving very roughly immediately, with an intense vibration. I noticed a lack of engine power, but the hybrid motor and battery kept me going for roughly 1 mile until they were depleted, after which I was unable to accelerate the vehicle. At that time, the car continued to decelerate, no matter how much I depressed the accelerator. I was able to safely pull over and turn the car off. I let it sit for one minute before turning it on again, at which point it behaved normally. I drove very cautiously to my destination, making sure to accelerate very gradually. This sudden lack of power put myself and others on the road at risk, as it was very sudden with no prior symptoms/warning lights, and I had no recourse besides pulling over as soon as possible. Over the next few days, I researched the problem online, and owners of Honda Accords from that generation (10th generation, model years 2018-2022) reported head gasket failure on all engines Honda offered the 10th generation Accord, including the 1.5 turbo, 2.0 turbo, and 2.0 hybrid engines. This problem is also reported on a slew of other Honda vehicles from roughly that time period. I brought it to Motor Werks Honda in Barrington, IL on 12/24/2025. After they completed their analysis, they determined it was a failed headgasket.
The A/C condenser on my Honda failed and leaked out all of the refrigerant, which subsequently caused the A/C compressor and related components to fail. This issue is well‑documented, and Honda has issued an extended warranty specifically for the condenser due to its known defect. My vehicle was inspected by an authorized Honda dealership, and they confirmed that the condenser failed and that the resulting loss of refrigerant caused the compressor to generate metal shavings. These metal particles can circulate through the HVAC system, potentially entering the cabin and posing a health risk to the driver and passengers. Despite the clear causal relationship and the dealership’s findings, Honda is refusing to replace the failed compressor and associated components, even though the failure originated from a part they acknowledge as defective and have extended warranty coverage for. There were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms prior to the failure. The A/C system stopped functioning without any advance indication, leaving me without proper ventilation and climate control. This defect raises both mechanical reliability concerns and potential health and safety risks due to metal contamination within the HVAC system. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue further, as Honda’s refusal to cover the full scope of damage caused by their known defective condenser leaves consumers exposed to unnecessary safety hazards and significant repair costs.
Head gasket failed after car was fully serviced at authorized Honda dealer.It is a common issue with the 1.5t Honda engine.
Drivers seat belt not latching.
Blown head gasket at around 91,500 miles even though car have been kept up with oil change around 5,000k mile. It is currently in the mechanic shop as of 1/12/2025 awaiting repairs (parts are being order as we speak). So, probably can't have it inspected if requested unless it is soon. The random/early head gasket getting blown with not such high miles would have been devasting if I was driving on the highway. Since, it would cause the engine to over heat as the coolant is leaking into the engine piston and some case could cause lost of power on the highway. This problem seem to be quite common or expected as talking to the dealer and they were aware that a portion of these 1.5l turbo engine head gasket are getting blown. The vehicle or component has been inspected by an independent service center. I got misfire detected on cylinder 3 on 12/17/2025. I replace the sparks plug and it ran fine till 1/10/2026 when all of a sudden I can see the temperature gauge climbing. I stop driving the car that day on 1/10/2026. I check the coolant overflow reservoir on 1/11/2026 and found it strange that it was almost empty. I decide to take it to the mechanic on 1/12/2026 because I didn't see leaks anywhere and that was when they found the head gasket has failed and was slowly dripping coolant into the cylinder.
All dashboard lights are on & will not go away!
My car is having the head gasket issue which caused an issue while driving.
My 2018 Honda experienced a catastrophic engine failure (blown head gasket) at only 30,012 miles. A head gasket is not a wear item and should not fail at such low mileage. I previously reported related symptoms during dealer service visits in July 2024 and August 2025, including signs consistent with cooling or engine performance issues, prior to the complete failure. The vehicle has been properly maintained, has not been abused or modified, and shows no signs of neglect. Honda has denied goodwill assistance solely due to vehicle age, despite the extremely low mileage and premature nature of the failure. This appears to be a durability defect resulting in premature engine failure well below expected service life.
Blown Head Gasket, Coolant (possibly oil) leaking into combustion chamber. Confirmed by Honda of Kenner after getting Diagnostic. Car suddenly shook and temperature of car rose, misfires occurred shortly after with a flashing check engine light
Head gasket blown at 75500 miles. This appears to be an issue with the 1.5T engine in these cars, as reported several times and at issue in a class action lawsuit Bissell v. Honda.
My 2018 Honda Accord Touring with a 1.5L turbocharged engine began experiencing intermittent warning lights and error messages starting around 28,000 miles. I reported these issues to a Honda dealership on some visits however in most cases, the warnings were appearing and disappearing prior to my visit. However the error continued to appeared since then. At approximately 55,000 miles, multiple warning lights and error codes reappeared consistently. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for diagnosis and was informed that the issue may involve internal engine damage and that a full engine teardown would be required to determine the cause, at an estimated cost of approximately $2,000, before any actual repair could be identified. Seeking a second opinion, I took the vehicle to a different service location and completed a full tune-up at 63,000 including all standard maintenance expected at that mileage. Less than one week after the tune-up, the same warning lights and error codes returned. I took my car back to the same place where I had the tune-up completed and the same error codes appeared indicating the issue was not related to routine maintenance. I began to research online some common issues with my car, I became aware of a class action lawsuit (Bissell v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc.) describing a known defect in Honda 1.5L turbocharged engines where coolant leaks internally near the cylinder head, causing engine misfires, efficiency warnings, and internal engine damage. The symptoms described in the lawsuit closely match the ongoing issues with my vehicle. The repeated warning lights and potential for engine failure raise safety concerns. The issue has been reproducible and unresolved despite inspection and maintenance.
My 2018 Honda accord had coolant leaking in cylinder 3. Which caused the head gasket to blow. My car stopped on me in the middle of the hwy. I took my car to a shop down here to get fixed he couldn’t get it to run. All dashboard lights are on.
I am submitting this as a formal and urgent complaint regarding serious safety issues with a vehicle I recently purchased. The trunk opens on its own while I am driving, which creates an immediate safety hazard. In addition, the backup camera is malfunctioning, further increasing the risk when reversing or parking. Shortly after reporting the trunk issue, the radio also stopped working. I have contacted the dealership regarding these concerns, but no corrective action has been taken. Given that this vehicle was recently purchased and involves active safety risks, this lack of response is unacceptable. I am requesting immediate inspection and repair of these issues, as well as written confirmation of how the dealership plans to resolve this matter promptly. Please consider this issue urgent due to the safety risks involved. I look forward to your immediate response.
My wife was driving on a highway while taking our grandchildren to day care. The vehicle lost power causing her try ti pull to the side of a main highway. All of the check engine lights went on. We brought the vehicle to Honda and the dealership said they found coolant in the combustion chamber. It needs a head gasket, at a cost of $4800.00. The car has 76,000 miles on it. We understand that there is currently a class action lawsuit for Honda Accords of this year and make. Kindly advise us as to what we can do as this is causing us extreme stress and financial hardship. We need help. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
On Nov 7, 2025, I took my 2018 Honda Accord (VIN: [XXX] ) to "Honda of Gainesville" (Dealer #208034). 1. Recall Negligence: The dealership performed unauthorized repairs on the vehicle's fuel system (alleged fuel injector failure). However, while the vehicle was in their service bay for fuel system work, they failed to perform or even disclose active NHTSA Safety Recall 23V-858 (Fuel Pump), which is open on this specific VIN. The dealership prioritized unauthorized, billable fuel repairs while knowingly releasing the vehicle with a mandatory federal safety defect still present in the fuel system. 2. Safety Coercion: Service Advisor [XXX] used safety fear tactics to coerce the unauthorized work, claiming the vehicle was entering "limp mode" and would become inoperable/dangerous to drive. Independent diagnostic analysis (OBD2) performed after the service revealed ZERO error codes and no history of the claimed failure. The dealership fabricated a safety hazard ("limp mode") to generate revenue while ignoring a real safety hazard (Recall 23V-858). Associated Investigations: A formal complaint regarding the unauthorized repairs has been filed with the Florida Dept. of Agriculture (Case #XXX-XXX).

Emissions and engine light turned on which caused enginue to lose power and stall. Took car to dealership for diagnosis, and two codes related to failed fuel injectors and failed turbocharger. Tech said it is a known failure with this vehicle model, especially with the Honda turbo engine, so much so the warranty was increased from 100,000 miles to 150,000. Unfortunately my car was 15,000 miles over warranty and will be a costly bill. Online research yielded that tech was right, it is a known failure issue with this model but I missed the warranty extension. If this is a known issue by the manufacturer, should this not he a recall issue?
Upwards of a dozen times my Honda Accord will suddenly brake as it believes I am about to have a collision whereas it is typically a shadow. This happens when going under bridges or overpasses, or depending on the glare from the sun. This has happened several times on the highway causing multiple near collisions at high speeds. This is extremely dangerous and requires an adjustment or recall. I have had this part stolen and replaced through a Honda approved repair shop yet the issue persists.
I have a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5 The issue started after getting my fuel pump replaced as part of the recall. While driving, all of the dashboard lights came on. Warning messages kept flashing on the dash. This car was driving perfectly fine before the fuel pump was replaced. When the codes are cleared, the car drives perfectly fine. The dashboard lights will periodically turn off but ultimately come back on and as a result, the car goes into limp mode. Coils, sparkplugs, breakers have been switched out and oil levels have been checked. When the car is scanned, the codes are reading a misfire with the coils but, the coils that are allegedly misfiring were JUST replaced. The car jerks while attempting to accelerate, and after a few miles, it goes into limp mode. I have tried every type of repair that has been suggested to me by the mechanic but the issues persist.
As I was driving myself and child on the interstate 65 mph the vehicle all of a sudden dropped speed and would not accelerate. I drifted the car off the interstate off ramp and pulled into a store parking lot. Luckily, we did not cause an accident or hit anything or anyone. All the lights on car's dashboard blinking some examples are EPS, VSA, Malfunction lamp, Breaking system, check engine light, etc. My car did not show that it was running hot, was not smoking, however would not accelerate. The car had a slight rattle, running bad, shaking slightly; all in all, not working appropriately. No earlier indication that something was wrong just came all of a sudden, no warning at all. Car was brought to Billy Navarre in Lake Charles, LA, where they concluded that head gasket was blown. I had to come out of pocket to fix the head gasket and all of the other problems that it caused. Car milage 84,097, bought brand new in 2018. This is a major safety issue for the public! Multiple people have this same problem. I have documentation on all the work the dealership completed. And I have filed a report to Honda.
Hi, to whom it may concern my dashboard lights have been on for months now and I’ve taken it to the dealership I purchased my car from and it comes back that it’s the turbo that needs replacing. The pricing of that is ridiculous and I’m currently not the ONLY one with this issue ! It’s an ALL AROUND THE WORLD thing! I’m not sure about anybody else but I don’t have that type of money plus while paying other important bills ! There should be a recall against the turbo replacement as well! And just what if I was to get the turbo replacement and then the lights come back on, because I’ve seen multiple people saying the replacement didn’t help with the lights and still have gotten other things done and the lights only off for a couple days ! Indeed of answers because this is ridiculous!
In 2023, the car had a rough start during cold weather. Honda confirmed there was a service bulletin and told me my fuel injectors were likely failing. It’s a known issue. For 2 winters, I used Sea Foam to manage the problem. This winter, the dash completely lit up. I returned to Honda for an update to new version of the same service bulletin. They did the fix but it did not solve the problem. Tonight my car went into limp home mode and had to be towed to the mechanic for the fuel injector repair. We were on NC Interstate 540 when the car rapidly lost acceleration and luckily made it to a gas station for safe pick up. Me, my passenger and other drivers were all endangered the 3 times I had to pull over to stop and restart the car.
Fuel pump is bad causing the car not to start.
The car will have all lights on dashboard showing, car has been taken multiple times to dealership and nothing seems to be wrong but this cause all safety features to malfunction. I have talked with other Honda owners, on forums and acquaintances and they have similar issues.
Blown head gasket
The head gasket of my 2018 Honda Accord, 1.5L turbo engine blew, allowing coolant to leak and pool into cylinder 3 of the engine. The engine was inspected by a Honda dealership and confirmed the defect/failure. I don’t have the failed gasket, but do have images of the coolant running into the cylinder from the inspection. My family’s safety was put at risk as due to this failure the engine misfired and would no longer accelerate on two different instances. Once in a local 55 mph road where the car would get above 30 mph. The second was when my wife was driving in a 70 mph turnpike when the misfire happened. There were no warning lamps or indicators of the failure. The symptoms were duffle, which included worsening engine performance, gas mileage, rough idling, and jerking while driving due to poor combustion in the bad cylinder. They first appeared around 87,000 - 88,000 miles (within this last year - 2025).
FULL PUMP ENGINE
Honda needs to recall all the newer vehicles starting with 2018 to 2024. All lights on the dashboard is on and while I’m on highway, the car would apply the brake itself and when I released my foot from the pedal, the car run smoothly again. I took the car to Honda dealership last year and I was charged over 1500 dollars, still the car is having the same issue. This is frustrating. Today, the car is showing the camera like I was trying to back up, even though the car was on drive mode. Unbelievable.

Head gasket issues and turbocharger issues
My fiance has a 2018 Honda Accord Sport Touring, this past Sunday he was giving me a ride and about 5 min of driving , after stopping for a red light , the light turned green he pushed the pedal and the car starting moving then all of a sudden warning lights were flashing , the engine light , remote not in car, oil light, air bag , low tire, etc. there was alot at the same time when the warning lights came on as he pushed the gas pedal the car stopped accelerating, and he said he had no power in the pedal ,there was heavy traffic, a car could of rear ended us but he was able to put his hazards on and coast around the corner before the car stopped. He shut the car off and back on and it drove like normal again. I was scared of course and just wanted to go home. When we got home he remembered he still had his fathers Obd scanner tool so he plugged it in the car and it showed no error codes. So that was really strange. He went to the store down the street the next day, but other then that he drives his work van and I have my own car. I was reading newsbreak and seen that honda recalled only hybrid and newer years and thought thats odd I should let someone know this happen to his 2018 accord , because Im sure it has to happen to others. We didnt take it in or call the police , but this clearly could of caused a crash had he not remained calm and put his flashers, everything happened so fast. Im sure he would let you inspect it, he works during the morning. I have no clue why it did that and neither does he. Thank you for your time.
I had to have the injectors replaced in April 2025. In November I was told a had a busted head gasket $5800.00 to fix. Many Honda owners have had this problem. Honda customer services refuses to help.
The vehicle is misfiring due to faulty fuel injectors. Causing every light on the dash to come on.
While driving on the NJ Garden State Parkway on an incline, the car went into LIMP HOME MODE in the middle of heavy traffic causing the speed to get dangeriousily very slow. I had to make my way across many lanes to get the edge of the road. After shutting off car I was able to restart and drive to work. My father came to my work and looked at car and added Honda antifreeze becuase it had seeped into combustion chambers Then drove the our Honda dealer. Just before he got to dealer driveway the car missed and hesitated but was able to make it to dealer. Dealer determined it was the common problem with the 1.5T engines, the head gasket failed. Check engine light never went on or any overheating (I was lucky) .While engine was apart, other work was agreed to as being cost-effective. The car prevousily had Honda car with 0 deductable until 100,000 miles. Car has always been serviced by dealer with more service than Honda requires and I have all service records from purchase to prove it. Last service before incident was 10/14/2025 . What makes this worse is that my son (2018 Civic) and my brother (2020 Accord) also have Honda cars that are destined for the same failure based on what is known about the defective 1.5T engines.
While driving, the power steering warning came on and the steering wheel became extremely tight, making it very difficult to turn. This has happened more than once, most recently on December 8, 2025. The loss of steering assist occurred while the vehicle was in motion and created a serious safety concern. The dealership retrieved diagnostic code C1250-52, which indicates an internal malfunction of the electric brake booster ECU. The steering issue and warning occurred again after the initial diagnosis. The system appears to fail intermittently and without warning. I have owned multiple Honda Accord vehicles over the years and have never experienced anything like this. Sudden loss of steering assist while driving is a safety defect, and similar issues have been reported by other owners of 2018–2022 Honda Accord models.
I had a coolant link problem they couldn't find or fix even after taking it in over 4 times ,how I have a blown head gasket ,also different components in my Ac keep going out have had to fix 3 times in the last 3 years, both these are know issues for this year honda
After vehicle got serviced an open recall for fuel pump, my car has been having issues. I know is related to the head gasket/fuel injections. My car has been great, monthly maintenance service up until I got that recall fixed. I now regret it getting repaired, but I had to, to be able to receive my DMV tags. I was driving about 45 MPH and vehicle stopped accelerating will not speed over 20 MPH and the check engine light turned on. Just got full transmission flush and oil change and this happened. I read many article online that this happens after this recall repair to the ACCORD 1.5T EX2018
All my warning lights keep coming on in dashboard and my car isn’t accelerating in cold weather after sitting overnight
These also are warning signals that keep coming on I took it to AutoZone obd scanner said is was misfire cylinder2got spark plug changed and engine coil still showing same thing on scanner
Head gasket caused by 1/4 inch head bolts and torqued to 50 lbs multiple people have filed a class action lawsuit regarding this and it’s affecting most Hondas with a 1.5L engine. It caused misfiring and jerking it was inspected and confirmed by Honda service center that my head gasket was blown and I had purchased the car 12k miles ago.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started and shifted to drive(D), the traction control and an unknown warning light were illuminated. The contact stated that the "Hill Start Assist Failure – Vehicle Might Roll Upon Brake Release” and “See Dealer Immediately” messages were displayed. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, but the warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the head gasket was blown and needed to be replaced, and the fuel pump that was previously replaced was faulty and needed to be replaced. The fuel pump was repaired, but the head gasket was not replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The contact stated that the engine was revving, and the tachometer was showing an elevated RPM level before the vehicle slowly responded. The contact stated that there were several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. Additionally, the check engine, traction control, and brake warning lights illuminated and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the turbocharger needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.
At just under 60,000 miles, the check engine light came on with 10 warnings all at once when the car was started. When I took it to Honda they said that 2 of the cylinders are misfiring and the fuel injectors need to be replaced. These are failing far too early on this model of vehicle and it is likely due to the recalled fuel injector that they took years to replace due to inventory. There should be a recall for the fuel injectors.
I was slowing down to pull into a parking spot at my office and suddenly the car accelerated, jumped the concrete barrier and crashed into the brick wall. The car continued to actively crash into the wall, so I put it in reverse and it accelerated backward with such force that it crashed into the rear of the car on the other side of the parking lot and then spun around 180 degrees and crashed into the side of that same car. My car was terrifyingly out of control. There was a woman in another car who had just parked and luckily she remained in her car because if she'd gotten out my car could have hit her. I don't know if this is related, but I regularly used the brake hold function and pressed the button to turn it off as I was parking. My perception is that the car suddenly accelerated when I depressed the brake hold button to turn it off. I have the parking lot security camera footage that clearly shows I was braking when the car suddenly accelerated and went out of control. I had 3 hard collisions and the airbag didn't deploy. Luckily I only had some neck and back pain and wasn't seriously injured. My car and the other car were totaled. I'm incredibly disappointed that Honda didn't call me back in time to be able to inspect the car. The insurance company pressured me to settle and turn over title. I'm very angry that the insurance company says I'm at fault because I need to stay in control of my vehicle at all times, but how could I have done that when the car suddenly went out of control? Now I'm going to have to pay higher insurance rates for something that I couldn't control.
Evaporator for AC failing. This poses a risk for drivers not having property AC in different weather and is extremely dangerous with children. Issue was found by the Honda dealership. I brought this issue up with them on a previous visit after hearing a strange noise, said everything was fine then a week later it goes out and only blowing hot air into vehicle.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal from a complete stop, the vehicle lunged forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors and spark plugs had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure recurred approximately 5 years later while accelerating from a complete stop at a stoplight, and the vehicle failed to accelerate at the intended speed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission sensor had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred while attempting to leave a parking lot. The contact stated that the failure remained persistent and was recurring more frequently. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Carson Honda(1435 E 223rd St, Carson, CA 90745), who performed a dual-clutch transmission check, but no failure was found. Additionally, the dealer diagnosed that there was excessive misfiring on cylinder #3 due to a head gasket leak. The dealer determined that the head gasket kit, the spark plugs, and the fuel injectors needed to be replaced, and an oil change needed to be performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle had become inoperable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was unknown.
I am submitting this complaint to report a potential safety-related defect in the 1.5L turbocharged engine used in the 2018 Honda Accord. My vehicle experienced a sudden and severe head gasket failure that appears to be related to a known design flaw affecting a significant number of Honda 1.5T engines. Many owners are reporting the same.

Several system warnings. Dealership diagnostic "bad fuel injectors" Vehicle has 62,735 miles.
The problem I am having with my vehicle Honda accord 2018 is with the head gasket. I was on the highway and as I was driving suddenly all the signs came on the display and gave a warning that my vehicle is overheating and it came down to 20mph while I was on the highway. This was very risky to me and the other vehicle around me.
Car has lost power or gone into "limp mode" while driving on multiple occasions. Car was never listed under the fuel pump recall but had all associated symptoms & problems. Had to have fuel pumps replaced in December 2023 due to car not starting because of faulty fuel pumps. Car has been properly maintenced since purchased brand new in February 2018. currently around 121,000 miles. Car overheated this past summer, Coolant seems to be leaking somewhere as just filled with coolant month ago and needed to refill with about quarter to refill to correct amount. Oil also seems to be having slow leakage problem somewhere within the engine as there is excessive oil on drip pan. Had all 4 spark plugs changed in March of 2025. Car has been going into limp mode and looses power for few seconds to minutes sometimes, almost causing multiple accidents while driving on highways. Pull over to shut off and give few minutes to restart and able to resume driving No warnings before this occurs. Randomly all dashboard lights light up 2 weeks ago and put car into limp mode, was driving on highway at high rate of speed (65mph) safety was compromised several times while this occurs. Engine seems create knocking sounds to known due to oil dilution problem. Cold weather seems to affect issues to onset more often. Also been having stalled or rough start ups in colder weather or when engine is not warmed up. Researching these issues seems to be that 2018 Honda Accords had known head gasket failure. This should become a class action lawsuit and also a recall
After having fuel pump replaced by recall at random times dashboard will light up with all system lights, car will go into limp mode and loose power for a few seconds and then I am able to resume driving. Extremely scary as there is no warning. This has happened both on the freeway at high rates of speed and on neighborhood roadways. Safety has been compromised several times and Honda dealer is not able to reproduce the issue, retrieve any warning codes or offer any assistance. This has randomly been occurring for several months. When not having this exact issue car runs with no other issues.
The problem I am having with my vehicle Honda accord 2018 is with the head gasket. I was on the highway and as I was driving suddenly all the signs came on the display and gave a warning that my vehicle is overheating and it came down to 20mph while I was on the highway. This was very risky to me and the other vehicle around me. Then when I took it to the dealership to diagnose they said it is a head gasket failure. The repairs they have recommended are very expensive and after researching this problem it shows this is a very common problem Honda vehicles are having. This is a manufacture problem which they should have a recall on hence with such expensive repair and I only have 93K miles on my vehicle. I always thought Hondas were the best vehicle going long term and as I am first time owner and this being my first vehical brand new I am very disappointed with the problem I have been facing with my vehicle.
I was driving in my car cut off in the middle of the highway. I was able to coast to side of the road. I took my car to the Honda accord dealership after that and was told it was my head gasket. After that repair, my car cut off once again. I took it back to Honda and was told that I now needed to replace the turbo charger which I’m unable to pay for after paying several thousands of dollar for the head gasket.
Engine knock caused by oil dilution which is known manufacturing issues with my model of car.
On 11/3/25 honda conducted the fuel injection recall fix. Prior to this, no warning lights were displayed on dash. 11/11/25 nine different warnings displayed on dashboard board. 11/13/25 at approximately 35mph the vehicle would not accelerate and the 9 warning notifications continued to flash. Cars had to go around me as I tried to find a safe place to pull to side of the road. I turned off the ignition. I took the vehivle back to the honda dealership maintenance. My vehicle will be there till tomorrow. I was informed code P0304 was present. Prior to recall fix drivability was not a concern and and had no warning lights.
defective turbocharged engine that is prone to overheating, head gasket failure and other problems. Design defect that causes engine coolant to leak into the cylinders
My car lost power while driving on multiple occasions. My car was originally on the fuel pump recall list but the dealership did not have the part for 6+ months. When the part did come in I found out my car was no longer on the recall list. I had to have my fuel pump injectors replaced due to a faulty fuel pump.
Emission system, low acceleration to the point it becomes a safety hazard in the freeway, I almost got rear ended twice, the car jolts, it stops out of no where, head gasket issues at only 65k. Maintenance was kept up but there’s a Facebook group called Honda sport 2018 to 22 on these models of the same issue “Christmas tree lights”
The head gasket leaked and a piston warped. The symptom was feeling a piston misfire and then the car wouldn't go over 10 miles per hour. Our safety was compromised because we were on a busy (45mph) road and couldn't turn off quickly nor go fast to keep up with traffic. The problem has been reproduced at an independent service center. The vehicle has only been inspected by the mechanic. The previous week all the electrical systems reported a failure. That was repaired by replacing some hose that collapsed on itself. During the misfire, the check engine light flashed, but it didn't before or after (when we were driving very slowly).
*The engine head gasket- The engine sucked the water from the radiator. *The car overheat in Highway and I had to wait for help to open the radiator to fill it with water *By an independent service center *Not yet- I will take it to a dealer Wednesday the 12th *All the dash lights came up and the next day the temp indicator was going up and down
Door locks alternate not locking/unlocking with either the door buttons or key fob buttons (battery is good). Available for inspection. Vehicle has not been inspected. No warnings prior. This has happened on and off for about 2 years and now seems like it’s 24/7 a thing with multiple doors at a time now.
So about 3 months ago all the sudden all the lights on dash board came on, everyday in the morning when I turn on vehicle on and start driving it does not go over 10 MPH even after pressing gas padel all the way, then I have to shut off vehicle for some time and starts back on it start running but lights still comes on. Honda repair shop told me to change Fuel Injectors which estimate $1,600. But at two different certified mechanic told me Honda Accord has problem with their engine getting coolant in the engine.
I am writing regarding my recently purchased used 2018 Honda Accord. The car has low mileage and initially ran well, but it has developed a recurring cylinder misfire problem. When this happens, the car slows down and cannot exceed 20 mph. This issue has occurred several times—once while my daughter was driving on the highway, creating a dangerous situation as she tried to pull over safely. I took the car to both a Honda dealership and an independent mechanic. The dealership diagnosed a head gasket issue and quoted over $6,000 for repairs. However, the independent shop could not identify the issue—no error codes appeared during their diagnostic scan. After I shared the dealer’s diagnosis, the independent mechanic mentioned that this may be a known design flaw in certain Honda Accords from this model range. From what I’ve learned, the problem involves the engine’s cooling system design. The coolant travels inside the engine around the outside of the cylinders, and Honda used a small channel between cylinders to allow coolant flow. This channel appears to be the failure point, leading to head gasket problems in multiple vehicles. I believe this may be a systemic issue affecting many Honda Accords with this design, and I urge someone from this office to investigate and make Honda take responsibility for these repairs. I am in a position where I am able to transition away from this vehicle, so this will not help me. So I hope you are able to help other, because the repair bill could cripple people and hinder them for using a vehicle that they rely on to provide for themselves and their family.
I was driving the car and it stopped working the car was just rolling, it lost speed in the road! All the warning lights were displaying, including the engine light. I took this car in to have a dynastic test at the Honda dealership. They reported it was the head gaskets. I’m very disappointed and don’t have the extra money for experience repairs.
I was driving on a highway when a warning popped up about engine temperature being high, advising I avoid heavy acceleration. No other codes came. I parked the car and it sat for about 8 hours. I had a short drive and no warnings came on. I drove on a highway about 30 minutes the next morning and again, no warnings. I was about 2 hours from home. About half way, we stopped for food, still no issues, but when we got on the highway, within about 5 miles warning lights came on about engine temp and the car went into limp mode. I had to have it towed to our loacl honda dealer. They confirmed COOLANT INTRUSION CYLINDER 3 AND 4 CONFIRMING HEAD GASKET FAILURE . Cost setimate was $6063. My car is on;y 6 12 year old, 140,000 miles and has always been maintained.
I took my 2018 Honda Accord into the dealership to get the Fuel pump Recall fixed, which took a year to get scheduled. I got that fixed in August, prior to getting the replacement I hadn’t had any issues with the car. About a week ago my car started sputtering and bucking while I was driving it. It felt like it wasn’t getting any fuel. The car left me sit on the highway, threw an engine misfiring code and almost caused an accident because it wouldn’t accelerate, and there were angry drivers behind me. I called the dealership, managed to get it there and they are now telling me I have a bad Head Gasket, which they want $5000 to replace. I had no prior issues and there initial inspection of the car after changing the fuel pump recall, had nothing about any issues with my coolant or gaskets. Is this a recurring problem with the 2018 Honda Accords 2.0T. Since this was the first year this Engine was made.
The warning lights for many areas has come on without warning. The car runs and drives fine. Took it to Honda. They want between 500 - 2500 to resolve the issue and replace the front radar. This appears to be a consistent problem for these 2018 Hondas. I already had to have the fuel injectors replaced at 48k miles. Another common Honda problem. Please help us as consumers
My Honda vehicle experienced a blown head gasket at approximately 123,000 miles, despite being properly maintained according to the manufacturer’s service schedule. This is a known and recurring issue in this engine type, which has been the subject of numerous consumer complaints and a pending class action lawsuit alleging a design defect that causes premature head gasket failure. The engine failed without warning signs such as overheating or coolant loss prior to the incident. I contacted Honda’s customer service and the Goodwill Program, but they declined to assist, stating the vehicle was out of warranty. A head gasket should not fail at this mileage, and this appears to be a widespread safety and reliability issue that may affect other vehicles with the same engine design. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this pattern of premature head gasket failure in Honda vehicles and take appropriate action to hold Honda accountable for the defect and ensure consumer safety.
2018 Honda Accord Sport, 1.5 l motor, 60k miles. loss of power under throttle. Bad head gasket. Diagnosed by dealership.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord that was subject to a fuel pump recall. The dealership replaced the fuel pump in July 2025 as part of the recall. Shortly after the replacement, all dashboard warning lights illuminated. I took the vehicle in for diagnostic inspection and was informed that the fuel injector and head gasket had failed. The estimated cost of repairs is $5369.69. I believe these failures may be related to the fuel system recall or indicate a broader defect in the vehicle’s engine or fuel components. I am deeply concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle, especially since these issues arose immediately after the recall repair. I am currently unable to afford the repair, and I fear the vehicle may pose a risk to myself and others on the road. This situation has caused me significant stress and anxiety. The unexpected financial burden has disrupted my personal and professional life, and I feel unsafe driving a vehicle that may have underlying defects. I am frustrated that a recall repair may have led to even more severe mechanical issues, and I am left without clear support or resolution. I had no choice but to pay for the repairs out of pocket, despite the financial strain. I am seeking guidance on how this cost might be recovered—whether through manufacturer assistance, warranty extension, or further recall action. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether this issue is connected to the existing recall or represents a wider safety defect affecting other vehicles of the same make and model.
I had submitted last year a complaint about my vehicles head gasket being blown. Had to take a loan out to replace it and the turbo . Now a year later the head gasket failed again which shouldn’t have since I’ve been on top of maintenance. My vehicle is a 2018 Honda accord 1.5T .
My vehicle is losing power while traveling on the road. All of the system lights are flashing and the gas mileage is ridiculous. It sputters uncontrollably and just stalls out and drops speed really quick. I’m really concerned for my well being. I’ve spent so much money trying to fix these issues and I don’t think it’s fair to me or any other Honda owner to have to be held responsible for something that is clearly a manufacturing issue. Although there was not a crash during this incident, it’s very dangerous and I’m terrified to drive my car but I have no other transportation right now.
3 weeks after having this vehicle, the car started running hot and experiencing all types of jerking problems. I started to do my research on why suddenly the car was running hot, jerking, and other things. I noticed a thread line expressing the EXACT same issues that I was experiencing which were from bad head gaskets. I took my vehicle to the dealership to have this issue checked and verify. I also had an independent mechanic shop evaluate the vehicle as well. Both results were the same. This is a design flaw on the manufacture behalf and I reached out to the Honda Corporate only to be denied assistance with fixing the known issue because it was “out of the date” range for their goodwill claim. This vehicle will run hot and you will have to pull over on the side of the road to allow engine to cool in order for it to operate.
While accelerating car jerks at times. At time car will go in limp mode I’ll have to safely try to get to side of road turn car off. Restart and continue driving. I’ve changed spark plugs, coil packs, turbo, fuel injectors, fuel pump and battery. I continue to put money into my car and nothing helps.

turbo charger split causing engine failure which almost created a serious accident.
Vehicle will sometimes automatically emergency brake with nothing in front of it
Car had 80 thousand no heating or oil problems has been maintained through Honda. Recall on fuel pump replaced. Car starts rough, took it in a diagnostic was done revealing a possible leak near 3 cylinder possibly head gasket. Code P0304 came up with all break light codes reading. No oil leak. No over heating. Honda indicates blown head gasket.
Lost coolant and engine over heated. Inspected by shop and determined that the coolant is leaking into the engine due to head gasket issue. This could cause extreme engineer overheating and cause fire in engine. based on available information from other owners of the accord 1.5T 2018, this is common issue.
Mechanic shop verified blown head gasket. Vehicle never overheated and was diagnosed after vehicle began to feel like it was misfiring. Mechanic used scope and found coolant leaking into head.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 50-55 MPH, the vehicle was jerking before shutting off. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact was able to move over safely. The vehicle was restarted and continued to drive. The ABS, steering, battery, engine, and Lane Departure warning lights were flashing. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer for NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Shelor Motor Mile (270 Jarrett Dr SE, Christiansburg, VA 24073), who confirmed that the fuel pump had not been serviced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000. The VIN was not available.
My 2018 Honda Accord Sport has experienced repeated engine and turbocharger problems related to a likely head gasket failure. For nearly two years, I had to replace the spark plugs every six months without ever getting a check-engine light. When I brought the vehicle to Hardin Honda in Anaheim, the dealer ran a test and said the head gasket was fine at that time. However, the issues continued, and eventually, the head gasket and turbocharger both failed. I can't spent about $4,000 in repairs, and I lost significant time without my vehicle, which affected my ability to work. Additional Details: Honda replaced my fuel pump twice. The first failure caused my engine to go into limp mode on the freeway, which was extremely dangerous and also damaged the turbocharger. Honda replaced the engine computer (ECU) only six months after I purchased the car. When I contacted Honda corporate, they admitted to being aware of this issue but said they would only offer reimbursement if a recall was issued in the future. Safety Concern: The sudden loss of power at highway speeds is a serious safety hazard. This issue appears to be widespread among owners of the 1.5L turbo engines, and many drivers are reporting similar head gasket and turbocharger failures. Requested Action: I am requesting a formal investigation into the 1.5L turbo engine design and related head gasket and turbocharger failures in 2018 Honda Accords. These problems pose a clear safety risk and result in high out-of-pocket repair costs for owners.
The issue first appeared during my initial test drive before purchase in 2019. The salesman stated it was a low-battery issue from the car sitting on the lot. Since then, the same problem has recurred multiple times. The vehicle displays multiple warning lights — “Electric Powertrain Fault,” Check Engine, EPS, and VSA — with reduced power, jerky acceleration, and temporary loss of throttle response. This poses a safety risk when merging or crossing intersections. Vehicle: 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T, approximately 52,000 miles. Diagnostic codes retrieved include U0401-68 (ECM/Electric Powertrain Communication Failure), U0416-68 (VSA/EPS System Malfunction), and P0302 (Cylinder #2 Misfire). These faults have occurred despite replacement of spark plugs, ignition coils, and fuel injectors (all OEM Honda parts). Dealerships have not been able to permanently correct the issue. The problem appears related to the ECM or communication network between the powertrain and stability systems. The sudden loss of power and unpredictable throttle response during normal driving creates a serious safety hazard.
Head casket issue caused the engine to go bad .. every light on dash board is on
Head gasket problem. Coolant leaking into cylinder #2, head gasket needs replacing. The car is currently at a Honda dealership & they inspected/ confirmed that this was the issue. They expressed this was a common issue with this car. The first signs of issues happened while driving uphill on the freeway, the car started to “jump” when trying to accelerate. A couple of minutes later, the car would not accelerate while driving & the check engine light turned on. The second time, this happened much quicker. In a span of a couple of seconds, the car “jumped” while driving on the freeway again, and slowed down and would not accelerate, but various lights on the dash turned on this time. This is obviously very dangerous as a car suddenly decelerating while driving can cause the driver and others on the road to crash. There were no warning lights on prior to the first incident.
I have a 2018 Honda accord 1.5t I have always done oil changes and maintenance accordingly. My car went into limp mode over the summer. I brought it to my dealership who said the head gasket was bad and it was going to cost over 5,000$ to fix. This is a known problem on these cars as I have gathered information all over the internet. Honda refuses to do the right thing and have a recall. I do not have the money to replace the head gasket at the hefty dealership level. I have been waiting over 3 months in an attempt of a DIY replacement. The company I have been ordering with has had many issues and I am still without a vehicle. The vehicle only has 138,000 miles
The fuel injectors became faulty at about 90,000 miles, a mechanic could not identify the issue until about 110,000 miles. A blow head gasket followed.
100k miles on our Honda when there showed Misfire in cylinder 3 kept coming up. Changed the coils and spark plugs. The car lost power on the freeway almost resulting in a collision. Had the car towed to Honda dealership where they quoted us 4800$ for a head gasket. Honda knows what they’ve done. I will never in my life buy another Honda.
I have changed turbo, coil packs, fuel injectors, spark plugs, battery, fuel pump and my vehicle still give misfire in cylinder 3. Honda knows it’s a turbo and head gasket issue and will NOT do a recall on this for the vehicles. HORRIBLE company. Will never buy another Honda
While driving, my 2018 Honda Accord suddenly lost power and went into limp mode with no prior overheating or warning signs. The acceleration dropped instantly, and the vehicle nearly caused an accident as it seized up in traffic. Diagnostic scan showed a P0303 cylinder 3 misfire, which is consistent with head gasket failure. The issue has been widely reported among other Honda Accord owners with the same engine, and it appears to be a recurring defect. This failure is dangerous because the car can lose power abruptly at highway speeds or during normal driving, putting drivers and passengers at risk of collisions. The vehicle was properly maintained and had no prior indication of internal damage or overheating. The head gasket failure is sudden and mechanical, not caused by user neglect. It needs to be investigated as a manufacturer defect before it leads to serious accidents or injuries.
Car has been giving me issues with the check light engine. They changed spark plugs and the head gasket and still giving me issues.
Head gasket for the second time
The car loses power. It starts as a misfire on cylinder 2 (P0302 code) and the engine starts to shutdown (or goes into a safe mode with no power). The result is loss of speed which creates a safety hazard especially on highways. This has happened multiple times and the car has been in the shop 4 times for this issue. We have to pull off the road, turn the car off, sit for a minute and restart the car. It will then run ok. This has happened during acceleration and when just trying to keep speed on an incline. The dealership has not been able to identify an issue. The head gasket was replaced in April 2025 because they thought there was a pin hole that was causing oil to push into the cylinder. The misfire continued to happen. It was in the shop on October 2025 and they found nothing wrong with the spark plug, induction coils, gas feed. Therefore no understanding of the root cause.
Bad fuel injectors reported by diagnostic testing done by Honda dealership after recall was completed on fuel pump. All warning lights on dashboard lite up and multiple warnings from car. This is a known issue with these specific Honda engines. Very costly repairs that if not completed can cause other engine issues.
I lost power to the vehicle in the middle of the road as I was accelerating uphill approaching a stop light getting ready to get on the on ramp to the highway. All the dashboard lights came on and the check engine light was flashing. I had to let my car idle it's way to the side of the road. I took my car to a Honda dealership. Diagnosis showed cylinder 3 misfire, coolant leaking into cylinder 3 indicating a blown head gasket. A couple of weeks before the loss of power to the vehicle, my car was sputtering and jerking when accelerating. It would get really bad when accelerating uphill.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord with approximately 131,000 miles. The vehicle suffered a blown head gasket that my mechanic identified as originating from a known design or manufacturing defect in Honda’s 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. They diagnosed the problem before they had my vehicle in their possession because they have already seen this so many times in other 2018 Honda Accords. The engine began showing symptoms such as coolant loss, rough idle, "Christmas tree" engine lights, and an overheating warning light. There was no sign of external coolant leakage. A professional inspection confirmed head-gasket failure. I have maintained the vehicle according to Honda’s recommended service schedule and have documentation for all maintenance. I contacted my local Honda dealership and Honda’s customer service department seeking goodwill or warranty assistance. Despite multiple attempts and escalation to a “warranty specialist,” Honda denied coverage and refused to contribute to repairs. The repair estimate exceeds $5,700, which is unacceptable for a vehicle with regular maintenance and a known pattern of premature engine failures. Online owner forums and public databases show many other reports of the same issue. I believe this defect poses a safety concern, as overheating or sudden engine failure can occur while driving, creating risk of loss of power, stalling, or fire. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the widespread head-gasket and engine failures on late-model Honda vehicles equipped with this engine to determine whether a recall or manufacturer accountability action is warranted.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L equipped with the 1.5-liter turbo engine. Over time, the vehicle began showing symptoms of coolant loss without any visible leaks, a sweet odor under the hood, and intermittent white smoke from the exhaust after startup. The engine would sometimes idle roughly and hesitate under acceleration. No external leaks were found by my mechanic. I later learned that these symptoms are consistent with a possible head-gasket or coolant-intrusion issue affecting this engine type. The problem poses a potential safety risk because coolant can enter the combustion chambers, leading to engine misfire, loss of power, or complete engine failure while driving. The issue has not yet been formally recalled, but I have seen multiple complaints and reports of similar failures in 2018–2022 Accords, Civics, and CR-Vs with the same 1.5-liter turbo engine. A warning light (“check engine”) appeared intermittently, and the temperature gauge fluctuated during normal driving. The problem has been inspected by an independent repair shop, but Honda has not provided a permanent repair or warranty coverage. The issue appears to be consistent with the allegations in recent class action filings regarding head-gasket and coolant-leak defects in Honda 1.5T engines.
While driving the car, the oil light came on and the engine died. Losing vehicle power while driving poses a very serious safety risk. After taking it to a Honda dealership, the mechanic diagnosed the following issue: "head gasket has failed causing coolant to leak into Cylinder 3".
Supplemental restraint system problem
Paint on the center roof of my car has been progressively getting white spots and paint defects. Paint has not been having these issues anywhere else on the cars body, but only has been an issue on the roof. I went to my local Honda dealer to see if there was a recall on my cars specific paint, but no recall was shown. There has been recalls for the same make and model of my car for this issue, but not for my paint code.
Head gasket leak after replacing recalled fuel pump. Took my car in for safety recall on fuel pump, just 24 hrs later every check engine light came on and my vehicle slowed to a stop (car went into limp mode). This happened on a busy street with vehicles flying by. I had my vehicle towed to Lancaster Honday (CA) where they did my safety recall the day before, they confirmed the head gasket leak. I had my vehicle diagnostics done at a different place as well and they confirmed the bad news, but also said this should not be happening to a new car with 66,000 miles. They advised I call corporate Honda and have them do a goodwill repair where the pay the repair since it is out of its 60,000 miles warranty. I had zero symptoms of this happening before it actually happened. I regularly had maintenance done on my car. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed that Honda just declined my goodwill repair after a month of waiting on them to “review the case”. I couldn’t be more sad and more screwed at this time. $5000 is not something I have right now to take care of something I shouldn’t have to. This is only happening to 1.5 liter Hondas in my certain year range. I wanted a 2.0 originally, but the dealership did not have any at the time so I am needing help. I will reach out to the ongoing pending lemon law case in CA to join the base and try to get my car fixed and have Honda do the right thing! I am not happy!
Bad head gasket. Coolant leaking into cylinders
Driving on highway, check engine light went on and car lost all power would not go over 5 mph scared for my life as I was almost hit by other vehicles traveling at hi rates of speed . I managed to get the car to the shoulder. I turned the car off and restarted, and the car went back to operating normal. Car was checked by a friend who is a mechanic, and he told me there were codes for misfires after checking all the issues that could cause that type of problem he informed me that a pressure test on the coolant system revealed a blown head gasket which allowed coolant to leak in the cylinders causing miss fires due to the anti freeze extinguishing the spark of the spark plugs. I researched this matter and it's see to be a very common problem with many hondas with the 1.5 engine
headgasket blew at 73k miles out of nowhere no check engine light no smoke no warning nothing car was taken care of its whole life car locked up during headgasket failure almost causing accident on road near house called Honda to explain the mishap they were snotty and acted like they didnt care wouldn't provide repair for free or even ask me if I was ok or if I needed help. I am a part of a 1oth generation honda group on Facebook and there are alot of us who should be helpedfor this very dangerous and random mishap
Coolant leaking into head gasket which now needs to be replaced as it’s causing the whole car to shudder when acclerating and when not letting off the gas the check engine light will come on and the car will not drive anymore. It then needs to be turned off and on again to go away and won’t fix the issue with the studdering.
My 2018 Honda Accord at only 63,000 started to lose power and all the emergency lights went on. Diagnosed as a misfire and now requires a new head gasket. This was told to me by the dealer to be a well known problem with the 1.5 T 2018 Honda Accord.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that occasionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and the engine lost compression. The check engine warning light was occasionally illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed back to the same local dealer where it was diagnosed with a blown head gasket. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that two weeks after the vehicle was repaired under an undisclosed NHTSA Campaign, the message "See Dealer" was displayed. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the same local dealer, and the fuel injectors were replaced. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine temperature gauge became elevated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local O' riley, where it was diagnosed with turbo assembly sensor failure. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a turbo assembly sensor failure. The vehicle was repaired; however, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The spark plugs, coils, and battery were replaced; however, approximately 6 days later, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the same independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a rocker arm oil control solenoid failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that, due to the age and mileage of the vehicle, a Goodwill service would not be performed. The failure mileage was approximately 116,699.
My 2018 Honda Accord EX is currently having FUEL injector problems at 41,000 miles. Honda is trying to tell me that FUEL injectors do NOT get affected by the recalled FUEL pump. This is very silly because the FUEL pump and FUEL injectors work together. They want $1,800 to replace the FUEL injectors at Honda. I already completed the recall on the FUEL pump, and afterward, they told me my injector was running too rich and needed to be replaced for $1800. There are so many Honda 1.5Ts experiencing these same issues, and Honda does not want to do anything about it. I am currently taking my car to a local shop to get the FUEL injectors replaced for $1,327. I believe I should be reimbursed since the FUEL pump is what caused my FUEL injectors to fail. Honda is trying to tell me that two FUEL components of a car don’t correlate with each other? This isn’t fair, and I need to be reimbursed.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord Sport. About 2–3 months ago, the car began having repeated engine misfires (P0301), hesitation, and stalling while driving. At the same time, multiple dashboard warnings appear, including Steering Assist Reduced, Brake System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem, Emission System Problem, and Hill Start Assist Problem, these failures occur suddenly while the vehicle is in motion, creating a serious risk of loss of engine power, reduced braking performance, loss of steering assist, and disabled crash-avoidance systems. I have already performed extensive maintenance: new ignition coils, a full tune-up, compression test, spark test, and battery/alternator check, yet the issues remain. Diagnostic scans also showed U0416-68 (invalid data from ABS/VSA module) in addition to the misfire. This suggests not only a fuel/propulsion defect but also a possible computer/control module failure that links engine, brakes, steering, and ADAS systems. These conditions match known recalls for the Accord, including 23V858000 (fuel pump failure), 20V314000 (low-pressure fuel pump), and 20V771000 (BCM software issue), yet my VIN does not currently show as included. The fact that multiple critical safety systems fail simultaneously makes this a major safety hazard that could easily lead to an accident if the car stalls, loses braking, or loses steering assist in traffic. I opened a case with Honda Customer Service (Case #15868389), but they refused to cover the repair since my VIN is not listed, despite the failures being identical to those described in the recalls. I strongly believe my vehicle should be included, and I request that NHTSA investigate whether the recall VIN range needs to be expanded.
Recently bought this car a month ago. I started having problems with acceleration, as if the car was “bucking” every time i would press the gas normally at a red light or stop sign, accelerating from a stop. The vehicle wouldn’t make it up a hill while accelerating it was very hard bucking. I tried pressing the gas a little harder and the check engine light flashed and the car went into limp mode so i had to pull over. Made it back home and i was driving normally and every light you can imagine came up on the dash. I’ve heard from many others with the accord they’ve had the same problems but once they get it fixed the problems keep happening or the vehicle blows up. I just paid full in cash for this car and my total is fix it is already at 5k to fix.
When gas gets low, all the warnings come up on the dash and LKAS turns off. Unable to use any features.
Turbocharger. All dashboard lights are on in vehicle. All safety measures implanted in the vehicle (land departure, cruise control, etc) is not working. The vehicle jerks when attempting to accelerate over 40 mph.
The sunroof spontaneously exploded while traveling at 50mph. Was not a rock. The sound was extremely distracting and could easily cause a wreck, especially if the sunroof visor was open. Could also cause bodily harm.
Head Gasket
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle shuddered abnormally. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and several unknown warning lights illuminated; the vehicle continued to shudder. The contact was able to drive the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to exceed 12 MPH. The contact activated the hazard lights. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with head gasket failure, causing coolant intrusion into the cylinders and damage to the timing chain. The dealer replaced the head gasket and the timing chain. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The head gasket needs replaced because of a faulty design....this is an expensive fix and one I think Honda knows about, but because the fix if almost all labor, they don't care because it is making them a ton of money on repairs. The engine block cooling is designed to cause a head gasket failure with can ruin the engine and even if you catch it, is very expensive to fix. and Honda doesn't even offer an adequate fix and this WILL happen again. I have talked to Honda techs who have confirmed that belief.
Engine head gasket failed allowing a coolant leakage, which damaged spark plugs and fuel injectors. There is video evidence of this failure provided by the dealership service center. Link to video: [XXX] This occurred at approximately 70k mileage, which is far earlier than a failure like this would be reasonably foreseeable. I see many, many, others online who have had the same failure on my model of car at similar (early) mileages of 70k-90k. My car lost power on the highway, leading to a dangerous driving condition for myself an others. There was no obvious warnings that this would occur. After pulling over and turning off then turning on the car again, the car was intermittently drivable, with clear engine trouble.

When it is cold outside my ACC light comes on and when I started my car the other day it read Emissons Service Problem Avoid Heavy Acceleration and High Speed. That was just 1 among 7 other service warning that popped up.
This car is known for its faulty engine. The head gasket tends to blow as early as 40k miles, plenty of people have had this problem and yet there is no recall for the engine or a fix. I was driving on the highway and i was speeding up to merge into traffic and my check engine light started to flash and my car went into limp mode on the highway luckily there wasn't a lot of traffic and i got the chance to pull over and restart my car. i looked online and plenty of people were experiencing this same problem they all had the same answer as well, a blown head gasket. I'm just wondering if someone has to pass away before this gets fixed.
The Cylinder head gasket The vehicle heats up and causes us to pull over which impedes traffic The maker knows of said issue but has yet to address it A qualified mechanic has examined the vehicle and diagnosed the issue There was no warning
My honda has 59000 miles on it not even 60k on it since we bought it. Have done all regular services an have done every recall is had. One more my husband goes to leave for work not even got out of the neighborhood an every warning light turns on car start shaking. I take it to my family mechanic who does all of our work on every one of my vehicles. An he said its the head job witch doesn't make since cause of the year an the miles on the car. An I bought it thought car max an got maxcare so I had to take it to another shop Prestige Auto Worksan they say the samething an tells me to go thought all this cause honda is having problems right now with there vehicles. So now it's been about 2-3 weeks without a car waiting to get fixed.
Date of Incident: [XXX] Vehicle Information: 2018 Honda Accord VIN: [XXX] Incident Location: North Charleston, SC Estimated Vehicle Mileage at Incident: 78,000 miles On [XXX], while starting and driving my vehicle less than one mile, the engine would not accelerate above 10 MPH. Following this, multiple service alerts illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was inoperable and had to be towed to Hendrick Honda of Charleston. The diagnosed issue is a leaking cylinder head gasket. This is the second major engine-related issue this year. In May 2025, I paid over $2,000 to repair a faulty fuel sensor injector. This current repair is estimated to cost over $5,000, bringing my total repair costs for this year to over $7,000 for a five-year-old vehicle with just 78,000 miles. This recurring pattern of significant and costly engine failures, particularly the cylinder head gasket leak, indicates a serious safety defect. It is not an isolated incident, as evidenced by publicly filed NHTSA complaints (ID: 11677717) for the same make, model, and year with similar engine failure issues at comparable mileage. The sudden loss of acceleration and inoperability pose a direct safety hazard. I am requesting an investigation into this defect and seeking full reimbursement for the recent and past repairs, totaling over $7,000. These are clearly not standard wear-and-tear issues and should be addressed by the manufacturer. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was contacted by Royal Honda (Honda of Harvey, Louisiana) about an urgent fuel pump recall on my vehicle. Harris first through text then receive the phone callInstead of scheduling the recall repair, the dealership used the recall notice as leverage to push a $19.95 oil change special. The representative told me they could “set me up for the oil if I scheduled the recall,” but their focus was on selling the oil change, not correcting the urgent safety recall. When I declined the oil change, they said they were having “technical difficulties,” promised to call me back, and never did. As a result, my recall remains unresolved. This is a misuse of federally mandated recall notices for sales purposes, and it delays urgent safety repairs. Requested Action: Investigate Honda of Harvey / Royal Honda for using recall notifications as a sales tactic and ensure my recall is completed promptly.
Car engine overheated while driving and car stalled and was unable to start . Took it to a mechaning and was informed that I had a blown head gasket that may be leaking coolant into the engine internally. Not having the money to fix it I had to slowly drive it home and find alternative solutions . Researching the situation and seeing that this seems to be a reoccurring and common from for 2018-2022 Honda owners and if indeed it is a company defect I would ask for a charge free recall to resolve the head gasket. This has created much stress in my life and financial worry.
Coolant leak through the gasket into a cylinder so now I need a new head gasket. When I start my car, it starts to shake and don’t accelerate. I just got my turbo done in April because of the same issues.
On August 25th 2025 we were driving the vehicle on the freeway at 55 MPH and upon acceleration the vehicle started to decelerate and the check engine light came on. The vehicle would not go over 10 MPH at this point. We took it to the dealership to have the issue addressed. They told us that the issue was a misfire in cylinder #3. They told us the vehicle will need to relearn the firing order and for the next 2 weeks the vehicle was rough idling upon startup. We called the dealership to make an appointment to have that issue addressed and took the vehicle back to the dealership. On September 10 we were told by the dealership the head gasket is blown. We were told that they are seeing that this is becoming a more common issue with the engine of this year model vehicle.
I attempted to start my vehicle's engine normally and the engine made a rough cranking sounded and then finally started. The dashboard displayed multiple warning messages immediately after: Emission system problem/avoid heavy acceleration and high speed/see your dealer, tire pressure monitor system problem/check tire pressure/see your dealer, brake system problem/brake performance may be reduced/see your dealer, brake hold system problem/apply brake when stopped/see your dealer, electric power steering system problem/steering assist reduced/see your dealer, vehicle stability assist system problem/reduced traction and handling/see your dealer, hill start assist problem/vehicle may roll upon brake release/see your dealer, adaptive cruise control system problem/see your dealer, collision mitigation braking system problem/see your dealer, road departure mitigation system problem/see your dealer. I was able to carefully drive and drop off the vehicle at the dealership. The dealership conducted an inspection and found "the check engine light was illuminated due to a misfire in cylinder two. The diagnosis has revealed that this is caused by a bad head gasket, which is allowing a small coolant leak into the cylinder. To address this issue, the technician is recommending the replacement of the cylinder head gasket and spark plugs. Additionally, the technician has noted that the fuel injectors are a known failure point and suggest replacing them as well while the work is being performed." Also, the service employee told me verbally that this is a common issue with the Honda 1.5 turbo engines and they see this all the time. I authorized the replacement of the cylinder head gasket and spark plus since the cost was covered under my existing powertrain warranty with Honda. After a week, the vehicle was released to me and working fine. My safety and the safety of others with a similar engine was put at risk due to no prior warning and the impairment of critical safety systems.
Backup camera has purple and green distortion that makes it hard to see what’s behind the vehicle when trying to backup. This is a permanent problem that can be inspected upon request. It involves a risk to myself and others by possibly causing injury or property damage. Asked dealership about it and they said it’s common issue and I would need a new camera. Not sure what caused it. It just happened one day and has been like that ever since for about 1 month. Contacted Honda Headquarters and they said they couldn’t do anything since there’s no recall with my VIN associated with it. Even a google search shows that there are too many others experiencing the same issue that this should be covered by a recall. It’s very dangerous to allow it to stay like this.
Car has 60,675 miles with a blown head gasket. Prior to blown head gasket vehicle was brought to Honda in April 2025 for overheating, rough start and leaking coolant and was told fuel pump had a recall so it was changed, Honda did the recall repairs, performed oil change and checked everything else and released the car in working order but a week later after adding 175 miles more to the car it started overheating and had a rough start, the car was immediately brought back to Honda and they said it was a blown head gasket, the car was driven home that same day and left in the driveway undriven until September 3rd 2025 when it was towed to a different Honda dealership where it was confirmed to be blown head gasket and the cost is estimated at $6800 to repair. The car has had all recall issues addressed as well as all service and oil changes done to the vehicle, the car is driven for leisure and never in an unsafe or harmful way that could damage a head gasket.
Check Engine Lights Turned On and Turned Off all advance features on car because of a faulty fuel injector which is the stock fuel injectors that were designed by Honda
The contact's son owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started sputtering and the engine overheated. The engine overheating warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that there was a crack in the engine head. Additionally, radiator fluid was leaking into the engine oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The owner had replaced the turbocharger prior to the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
The paint on our 2018 Honda Accord is fading and the clear coat is no longer on the car on the areas of the hood, trunk and roof at this point. The roof is having issues with the paint peeling and rusting in all four corners. We have reached out to our Honda dealership and did not receive any help with this issue. This car is great shape inside and out except the paint issue. The paint should last longer and it should not be rusting. We do not want the rust to continue as it will soon damage our car.
Upon commuting to work, the car failed to accelerate causing the car to almost suddenly stop while driving; at the same time of the failure warning lights and beeping occurred. No warnings prior to failure. By God’s grace, I was not yet on the expressway and avoided what would have been a horrible accident jeopardizing not only my life but the lives of anyone that would have been behind me. The gasket failed (cylinder #3) and is available for inspection upon request. It was a significant safety issue as the failure occurred without warning causing the car to stop no warning. Yes, the dealer has confirmed the failure and I was quoted a $5800 repair cost in spite of a owning a lifetime power train warranty. No, the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance. I did place a call to American Honda and we were given a case #15822812 (but this case has since been closed without action.) No warnings occurred before the failure. (Beeping and messages occurred at the time of failure.) Had the failure occurred at a high rate of speed, on an expressway, loss of life could have occurred and no one would know what caused the accident since cars are usually towed away and declared “totaled.” Fortunately, I was on a road of 35mph but in just a few more minutes would have been at a speed of 65mph. There is a further safety concern that the dealer admits that there is a known problem with the OEM component but plans to continue to replace with the same product. Note: this car has a superior care record and only 110,000 miles which means the failure is likely to occur again with the same parts. Internet searches are confirming this is a known product failure with no recall.
Head gasket between cylinders 2 and 3 blown, despite regular maintenance being completed by Honda dealerships. This issue has caused vehicle to go into "limp mode" while on the highway leading to safety concerns. This problem has been confirmed by not only a Honda dealer repair shop but also an independent repair shop and owners. There were not warning prior to the failure. Per the dealership, this is not something that could be caught during regular maintenance and inspections.
While trying to accelerate the car loses power. This has happened many times. The Honda dealership has said the system is on back order and they will call me when it’s available. It’s been months. The “jerks”a few times then the check engine light comes on then the car loses power. The dashboard lights are brake system, emission system, electric power steering, hill assist and ACC system problem.
- Year: 2018 - Make: Honda - Model: Accord Sport 1.5 Turbo - Vehicle Identification Number : [XXX] I am writing to report a safety concern with my 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5 Turbo. The vehicle has developed a head gasket problem, which has resulted in significant engine issues. Additionally, I have experienced fuel injector problems, leading to decreased fuel efficiency and rough engine performance. Despite following the recommended maintenance schedule and addressing the issues with the dealer, the problems persist. I have been quoted $7,800 for repairs, which is unacceptable given the vehicle's age and mileage (currently 114,848 miles). I am concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle, especially when driving on the highway. The vehicle's blown head gasket has caused ¹: - Loss of power, leading to potential safety issues on the road - Engine hesitation and shutdown while driving, which can increase the risk of accidents I request that NHTSA investigate this matter further and take necessary actions to address the recurring issues with the 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 Turbo engine. I would appreciate guidance on potential next steps to resolve this issue and ensure the vehicle's safety and reliability. - Repair estimates and records from the dealer - Maintenance records, including oil changes and fuel system cleanings - Correspondence with Honda dealership and corporate office Other owners have reported similar issues with the 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 Turbo, including fuel injector problems and blown head gaskets ² ³ ⁴.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that several warning lights were illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that all the warning lights turned off, however the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while the contact's children were inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was unofficially diagnosed with fuel pump failure. The contact was advised to contact the dealer because there was a recall for the fuel pump. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the contact was informed of a diagnostic fee to perform a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,500.
Car stalled/went into limp mode in the middle of turning onto a busy road almost hit by oncoming traffic. Check engine light came on, as well as all other warnings. Ran diagnostics and show fuel running lean and cyl 2 misfire. Checked all other possible issues related to codes and all signs point to bad fuel injectors.
I was merging onto the freeway and my car went into limp mode. I was lucky enough to pull over to the side because I was on the far right lane. I took the car to the dealer and was told that the car had blown it's head gasket. How can a 2018 honda accord have blown a head gasket so soon? I looked online and many other 2018 honda owners reported the same issues.
I currently own a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5L 4 cylinder with only 62,800 miles at the start of the issue. Around the end of July 2025 the car started to jerk. It started with a slight jerk and escalated daily, over about a week, until the car started going into limp mode. The car was taken to a repair shop near my house. This shop said they were receiving an engine misfire code, replaced all spark plugs, and car driving good again. Around 8/15/2025, I started having the same issues. On 8/19/25 the car went into limp mode again in a busy highway. Took it to a Honda/Acura repair shop. They again found the same misfire codes, replaced 1 spark plug, and the car was driving okay. This Honda/Acura shop found low coolant in the engine and believed I had a leaking head gasket as they have been seeing a high number of Honda 1.5L engines, similar years, with this issue. The shop suggested I contact Honda as it is a known issue. On 8/19, the Honda dealer service department told me they are seeing a lot of that issue but Honda has no current plan to extend warranties or issue a recall, despite the widespread, known issue. The dealership’s service department instructed me to call Honda corporate to discuss the issue and potential coverage. Corporate did open a case for a potential Good Faith repair. I was told that I would have to take it to a Honda dealership for official diagnostics, pay that fee out of pocket, then submit documents and info for coverage review. The car was driving okay for about 1 week and on 8/27/25, began having the same problems. I was able to get an appointment on 9/2/25 at the dealership. On 9/2/25, the dealership confirmed the head gasket is bad and the car requires head gasket, head bolt, belts, fuel injector, and coolant replacement, and oil change. The dealership again acknowledged this is a known issue with the vehicle. These vehicles are stopping on busy highways (with speed limit of 50mph) and interstates or going into limp mode, not going over 20mph.
Have had several misfires, nothing would fix it. Dealership looked at it and said the injectors needed to be replaced. Replaced injectors and still had misfire issues. Car is consuming coolant, and there is exhaust is the cooling system. Meaning blown head gasket.
I have a 2018 Honda Accord EX with 104,000 miles. Head gasket blew and coolant is leaking. Upon further research this is a common problem that is now being discovered once the car drives past 60,000 miles. There is an internal memo asking dealers to let them know if they are seeing this too online. Honda has several class action law suits regarding this being a design flaw of the 2018 with the 1.5 liter engine. I spoke with Honda and they offered no assitance, stating out of warranty and no recall. This is their design issue and in my opinion responsible for repairing this. Otherwise out of pocket its a 5k plus repair.
I was driving on a four-lane highway using adaptive cruise control, gaining on a vehicle ahead. When the cruise control picked up the vehicle, I accelerated slightly, used left turn signal and began changing lanes, the warning for collision mitigation came on and the cruise control disengaged. Continued driving home and the warning continued, and cruise control would not function. Next time used the car the warning light was off, and system functioned properly.
my 2018 Honda Accord is having major engine problems. Earlier this year all of the lights were coming on, 7 of them at a time, and that happened for a few weeks before it started overheating. If I was driving over 50mph, it wouldn't overheat, but if I was driving slow or idling, it was overheating within minutes. I took it to the shop in June where they discovered there was NO COOLANT inside the engine. they put 1.5 gallons of coolant in there, and it fixed the problem temporarily, but 2 weeks ago, all of the lights started coming on again. I called my mechanic, and he said his friend had a 2018 Honda Accord that was doing the same thing and that we need to approach Honda and ask them to fix the problem. turns out a lot of other people on the internet are reporting the exact same problem in their 2018 Honda Accords too, and there's even a class action floating somewhere out there because coolant is leaking into the chambers. we already had a fuel injector recall replaced by Honda last year.
After having the fuel pump recall completed on my Honda Accord, I began experiencing serious engine problems that I had not had before the recall repair. Shortly afterward, my vehicle developed a blown head gasket, coolant leaking into the engine, and turbo issues. These failures occurred outside of my extended warranty (which has also since expired), but they started only after the recall work was performed. I contacted my dealership and Honda corporate for assistance through a goodwill request, but they denied coverage, stating I am outside of warranty and they cannot determine fault. However, I have since learned that other Honda owners have reported experiencing the same or very similar engine issues after this recall repair. Currently, the vehicle is undriveable without risking complete engine failure. The cost of repair is extremely high, leaving me at a financial loss for a problem I believe is directly related to the manufacturer’s recall repair.
I got this car April 2024. By December I went to the Honda dealer for the recall even though nothing was wrong with the car. After December, when I got the recall fast forward to February. My engine is stalling. I could be pulling out my driveway and it’s stalling. I could be going 10 MPH and it’s stalling. I was coming off a ramp and almost got smacked by a 18 wheeler because it started stalling as I’m coming off the ramp. It break checked me on 5th ave. I was driving. No car in front of me. But a car in the back of me. And it just broke on me. Out of no where. Almost causing the Mercedes Benz to hit me. Luckily they were paying attention. I keep taking it to my mechanic. They are seeing nothing wrong. They don’t want to fix something that’s not broken also after I did the recall for the fuel pump. Now all these lights pop up on my dash. Driving used to be fun. Now it’s getting real scary. I am going to go back to the Honda dealer and see what they tell me but I did look up they have to keep fixing it until it’s fixed. Fingers crossed. I can’t get another car and I also can’t keep driving like this. It’s going to cause an accident.

My car be braking and nothing be in front of me.It detects something in front of me when nothing be there.
UNKNOWN. I will be driving and automatically it will lock the brakes and nobody will be in front of me. I tried turning it off but somehow it still ends up on. This has been doing it now for some but it’s getting worse and worse. Before it would just blink on the dash “ BRAKE” but wouldn’t apply the brakes but recently it has been applying the brakes and going from 45mph to 60mph it has done it and giving bad whiplash. Now it’s starting to scare me because someone is going to end up rear - ending me and cause an accident. I tried talking to a dealership about it but they said they will look into it and never hear anything about it. I really am starting to be worried Everytime I drive my car that something bad is going to happen. This needs to be fixed and diagnosed
My car is always having some electrical issue but when I type in my VIN number, no recalls are listed under my VIN number and then for the last couple of days I've been experiencing acceleration problems when I look up a 2018 Honda Accord it is saying that fuel pumps have been an issue, but my VIN number pulls up no information as far as me falling under that recall what are the proper steps to get my car looked at to see if my VIN number Even though it's not populating, any recall falls under the recall
Blown head gasket at 82,673 miles. Complete loss of power on the interstate traveling 70mph. This was after replacing all the injectors in April at 79065 miles. Same loss of power while attempting to merge into interstate. All maintenance was performed as scheduled.
While traveling on the interstate at 70-74mph without warning, the tire suddenly blew out, causing the car to shake and forcing me to the shoulder, which almost led to an accident. The car was recently serviced at a Honda dealership, which noted my tire tread was in good condition. The problem appears to be with the sidewall of the tire, which blew, causing the issue.
While driving my 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T, I experienced sudden coolant loss and engine overheating. Upon inspection by a mechanic, it was confirmed that the cylinder head is cracked, which is a known issue on the 2.0T engine. This creates a serious safety hazard because it can cause engine failure while driving, loss of power, or even fire risk if coolant mixes with oil. Honda has not issued a recall, but multiple owners have reported this same problem, and I believe it is a manufacturer defect. This should be investigated as it directly affects vehicle safety and reliability. symptoms: Overheating, coolant disappearing, white smoke, loss of power, warning lights, etc.
Blown head gasket
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the steering wheel was extremely firm, with the power steering assist disabled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the steering gearbox and the rack and pinion were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Condensor leak and compressor not working. Condensor replaced under Honda service bulletin but compressor not holding pressure.
The engine coolant began to leak into the cylinders of the engine. The engine began to overheat in the middle of the freeway. I had to shutdown the car down and get it towed. The car is available for inspection. Yes, my safety was at risk. Diagnostics from the dealership indicated that the problem is a design flaw with the head gasket being too thin. There were no indications that the car was going to stall until after it stalled. Honda is putting our lives at risk by allowing citizens to drive a car that has an engine become locked/stall/overheat by design and without warning.
While driving, a warning message appeared on the dashboard stating: “Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer.” The airbag warning light also illuminated. This indicates a malfunction within the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which controls airbag deployment and seatbelt pretensioners. At this time, it is UNKNOWN what specific component of the SRS failed or malfunctioned. and this issue first appeared 2 moths after purchase but its been coming on and half i don't know how serious this is. This malfunction places my safety and the safety of passengers at risk because the airbags or other restraint features may not function properly in the event of a collision. The problem has not yet been confirmed or repaired by a dealer, and no inspection by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives has been completed as of this report. The warning lamps and message appeared suddenly while driving, with no prior symptoms, noises, or performance issues. Vehicle remains available for inspection if requested.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable time frame for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Paint at the center top of the vehicles roof is slowly starting to fade and chip away. I've always hand washed my car since I bought the vehicle in 2019. Noticed the paint at the top of the roof has been the only area where this is happening.
Car went into Limp mode, immediately brought to a Honda dealership. Planet Honda in NJ. Misfire in cylinder 3. Causation of misfire was a defect head gasket allowing coolant to flow into cylinder 3 causing a vehicle shut down and $3625 in repair costs. Warranty covered it but I have heard many other cases with this have not.
While accelerating uphill approximately 65 mph the car suddenly started to shutter and slow down to 35 mph. I forced me to move rapidly over to the right lane on a busy highway almost getting hit by a semi truck. Luckily I was able move to the shoulder and park the vehicle. I shut the vehicle off and tried to start it back up which it did but struggled to turn over. Using my OBDII scanner I found that multiple codes had appeared which included P0087 Fuel Rail/System Pressure to low and P0299 Turbocharger Underboost. Vehicle was towed to my residence where it currently sits until I am able to repair it. Prior to this happening there were No warning lamps or messages or symptoms. The failures first appeared while driving up hill. It was not inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance. The problem was not taken to dealer or independent service center to confirm since the car is out of warranty and cost to diagnose is ridiculously high. I myself diagnosed the failures and found that the mechanical fuel pump Part# 16790-5PC-H02 seized up and was not providing enough fuel to engine. And diagnosed that the waste gate actuator arm was to loose due to worn out bushings. (Poor engineering in my opinion since there is no way to replace just the bushings on the actuator causing customers to replace the entire turbo.) After replacing the mechanical fuel pump the vehicle was able to start up without issue and drives perfectly fine. I currently still have the fuel pump and the turbo is still in the vehicle if needed for inspection.
If car is idling for over 1 minute, all lights on dash come on. When all lights on, car wont wont go over mph, car will randomly sputter in highway when going over 1rpm and will stall randomly. Reported on reddit by multiple people and when I went in to get it diagnosed it was the fuel injector issue
Failed head gasket. Resulting in complete engine replacement including turbo. Causing my car to go sluggish while driving Dealership inspected and confirmed engine and turbo replacement needed All the lights on the dashboard came on at time of incident
On the morning of July 26, 2025, while returning home from a grocery shopping trip, my vehicle experienced a sudden and severe loss of power while traveling on an interstate highway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph. Without warning, the car ceased to accelerate and began to decelerate rapidly. I immediately activated my hazard lights and attempted to locate a safe area to stop. Vehicles traveling behind and alongside me were forced to brake abruptly to avoid a collision. Fortunately, no accident occurred, though the situation clearly presented a significant risk of one. After pulling onto the shoulder, I turned the vehicle off and restarted it. It initially appeared to operate normally, allowing me to resume driving. However, within a few minutes, the loss-of-power incident occurred again. I managed to pull over a second time, restart the vehicle, and continue the approximately 10-minute drive home without further incident. Upon taking the car to my mechanic, I was informed that coolant was present in one of the cylinders, indicating a failed head gasket. The mechanic advised that I bring the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for repair. The Honda service department performed diagnostics and confirmed the head gasket failure. The repair cost was $3,758, which I paid in full. Subsequent research revealed that this appears to be a widespread issue affecting certain Honda models manufactured between 2018 and 2022. I discovered numerous consumer complaints online and learned that a class action lawsuit has been filed regarding this exact defect. Based on my understanding, head gasket failures are uncommon—particularly in vehicles with relatively low mileage. My vehicle has approximately 83,000 miles on it. While I am dissatisfied with the substantial financial burden of this repair, my greater concern lies with the serious safety risk posed by the sudden loss of power at highway speeds. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed.
I was traveling at 55mph when the car lost power on the freeway. I had to make my way to the shoulder. I could only travel 10mph. I had the car inspected by an independent mechanic and Honda Dealership. I was told it was the head gasket. I am told by Honda it will cost $5500 to fix. I did some research on this issue and found it to be a design flaw due to the channels that are put in the engine block to pass coolant. I found this is a prevalent and Honda did confirm it. Honda denied helping to fix the car and even though they know about the issue. We purchased this car brand new in 2018 and we thought we had a reliable vehicle with Honda's reputation. Honda's good will program did not accept the case either.
Engine overheating due to coolant leaking and car needing head gasket replacement Fuel injectors also failed
On August 7, 2025, the automatic braking system alerted with the sign break and then proceeded to stop the car when there was no object or vehicle in front of me. This would have been extremely dangerous. If there was someone behind me this is not the first time this has occurred it has happened several times.
Fuel pump recall. Put in an order with Honda dealer January 2024 for the pump. On February 2025 asked if they submitted the order back in January 2024? They said it was. Now it's August 2025 (20 months since) and waiting. NHTSA says if they failed to fix in a timely manner to make a report online. Is 20 months long enough? Driving with a safety recall. Second making a complaint with the 10 speed auto transmission 2nd to 3rd hard shift and 4th to 3rd hard shift. Putting stress on other components can break mounts, the transmission, axles, ect. could also launch the car into the car in front of you, in heavy (slow bumper to bumper) traffic. Wasted my own money and time draining and filling 5 quarts of honda 2.0 transmission fluid. (Also replaced the trans filter behind the warmer housing) Did not fix the issue. Contacted American Honda and they said It's out of warranty and I need to pay for diagnostic and repairs. (I just bought the car in 2023 at 45k miles. Previous owner must of felt it and should of did something while under warranty.) Honda know this issue from the beginning and hiding the issue to save money. Check the Accord forums online. It's most of us if not all the 18-20 10 speed models. Vehicle is 2018 Accord 2.0 10 speed 50k miles. Plus the normal Phantom braking and lane departure which will automatically steer you off the road, so you have to fight the steering wheel.
While driving my 2018 Honda Accord, the engine began running roughly and the check engine lights and multiple warning lights came on. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealership for diagnosis. The service department informed me that coolant was leaking into the engine, causing damage to the head gasket and cylinders 2 and 3. They confirmed this issue and recommended either an expensive head gasket/cylinder repair or a full engine replacement. Prior to this failure, I occasionally noticed mild engine hesitation, but no specific warning messages about low coolant or overheating appeared until the check engine light activated. The dealership stated this is not an uncommon issue with this engine. Upon further research, I discovered many other 2018 Accord owners with the same 1.5L turbocharged engine have reported coolant intrusion, cylinder damage, and head gasket failures — often affecting cylinders 2 and 3 specifically. This appears to be a design or manufacturing defect in the engine. This type of failure poses a safety risk due to potential engine misfires, power loss, or stalling while driving. The problem was confirmed by a licensed Honda service center, and I believe this issue should be investigated further for potential recall or manufacturer accountability.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled, and several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact attempted to drive the vehicle off the road, and the engine seized. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while driving on a busy highway. While attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated that due to the failure, the vehicle was almost involved in a crash. The contact stated that drivers were shouting and were very aggressive. The contact was concerned for his safety and considered calling the Police for assistance. The two nearby drivers attempted to jumpstart the vehicle and assisted with pushing the vehicle off the road. The tow truck arrived on the scene and attempted to jumpstart the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to start. The tow truck driver determined that the vehicle failed to start due to a possible fuel pump failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with fuel pump failure. The contact was advised to tow the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was repaired; however, the contact was not informed of the cause of the failure until after the repair was completed. The contact requested the diagnostic information and was informed that the failure was fuel pump failure. In addition, the contact stated that an unknown gasket needed to be replaced and there was evidence of a coolant leak. The contact stated that because of the failure the vehicle was towed three times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 88,630.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX‑L (VIN#: [XXX]). Shortly after a service visit to a Honda dealer for unrelated maintenance (in Sep. 2024 with an estimated 50,000 miles), the dashboard began showing ‘Supplemental Restraint System Problem – See Dealer’. A dealer quoted $400+ to diagnose and replace what appears to be a common passenger airbag indicator sensor failure, a known issue reported by many 2018 Accord owners. I believe Honda should issue a recall due to the safety risk. I’m filing this as a VOQ complaint for ODI’s review and authorize NHTSA to share my identifying info with Honda if needed. Supporting Documentation and numerous examples of complaints from hundreds of Honda Accord owners relating to this problem: - Numerous drivers of 2018 Honda Accords have reported the identical warning (“Supplemental Restraint System Problem – See Dealer”) along with fault code B002013, intermittent dashboard behavior, and inability of dealers to resolve it consistently. - Honda’s 2024 Campaign 24‑050 identifies the seat weight sensor as directly causing SRS warnings and passenger airbag indicator failure - demonstrating this component is known to fail and trigger airbag system alert behavior, even if not yet applied to 2018 model year. - Independent coverage confirms the risk and design defect in seat sensors causing unintended SRS failures, underscoring the safety risk and Honda’s formal acknowledgment of the issue in later models. - Multiple complaints about post‑service warning lights that match this scenario (electrical system category), and public news coverage stating Honda is recalling vehicles due to faulty passenger seat sensors that may cause airbag or SRS failures. - 37 official complaints for the 2018 Accord, with no repair by dealer and failure left unresolved. One report (May 12, 2025) describes this exact issue saying the dashboard message randomly popped up and a "dealer wanted $250 diagnostic and $4,000 to repair. - My service quote attached.

Head Gasket Blown on a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 Turbo. Yes, yes warning lights have appeared.
This car came with problem and i want to this if honda can fix it for free since its they mistake
Hi I just drive my car for about an 1hr and start losing power and a white smoke coming out the muffle I think the head gasket bad.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 30-35 MPH, the vehicle overheated and stalled. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over and turned on the hazard lights. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on three occasions and was diagnosed with a blown head gasket and engine failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided financial assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
Vehicle had a sudden loss of power. Pulled over on highway had to restart. Engine warning said Emission system problem. Had diagnostic done several codes PO300,PO301,PO302,PO303,PO304,PO172. Problem seems to be similar to the service bulletin 22-002 dated Feb 18,22 for the Honda Accord 2015-2016. It seems to be a known issue with this engine. Honda should take care of this safety issue.
07/30/25 - Over the course of 1 week, I have received three dashboard warnings "Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer" It goes away once car turns off. Honda of Katy states to bring in when alert still on dashboard (which will disappear when car turned off) but quoted will be required to sign a $215 diagnostic fee. No charge if it is just an error code. But $215 can be used toward repair. This is a SAFETY ISSUE and should be a SAFETY RECALL as owners should not need to pay for manufacturer DEFECTS. I can not afford to fix since still paying off the known issue of fuel injectors failing but not yet SAFETY RECALLED. Please help.
I had been driving down highway and all of a sudden my car put on brakes hard. Thank goodness no one was behind me. I had dealer turn off that feature so it wouldn't happen again. I still experience my brake light flashing when nothing in road to brake for but doesn't brake on its own. Issue having now is issues starting car and once it starts I recieved a collision mediations issue pop-up on display saying see dealer now. Cruise control issue, and on dash has traction control saying ignitionating continue driving. The braking issue started right after purchase in 2018. The starting issue started yesterday 7/25/2025.
Honda has known for years that the 1.5L engines installed in 2018 or newer Honda Accords have issues with oil dilution causing major catastrophic engine failures, head gasket damage, fluids leaking into the cylinders, and costly repairs to cars with less than 86000 miles on them. Honda Corporation needs to address this concern before someone dies when the cars engine fails on the highway. My vehicles engine failed on a major road when I pushed on the gas peddle and had no power due to these concerns. Dealership stated numerous vehicles are coming in with these concerns right now which begs the question that it is not a one off situation but a failure of Honda Corporation.
While attempting to pass a slower vehicle in my 2018 Honda Accord with a 1.5L engine, the suddenly lost power and stalled down to 20 mph while I was alongside the other vehicle. This unexpected power loss put my life and the lives of others at serious life threatening risk. I immediately brought the care to a Honda dealership, where the tech was able to reproduce the issue. The performed a borescope inspection and confirmed that coolant was present inside one of the cylinders, indicating a failed cylinder head gasket. This type of failure should not happen, especially on a vehicle like this. I was the repair would cost $6,500. After researching, I learned that this is a known defect affecting the 1.5L engine and that multiple class action lawsuits have been filed. I also discovered that American Honda is aware of the problem and has instructed dealership service departments to report affected vehicles. In fact, they have even offered gift cards to service advisors who report these cases, but are charging customers for the repairs. That's nonsense. Just do a simple google search and you will discover what I did. During the failure, the check engine light and several other warning lights came on but only the check engine remained on. Since then the car has multiple indicator lights on. Despite multiple attempts to follow-up, the dealership has refused to return my calls. This is a serious life threatening safety concern that deserves immediate investigation. Thank you.

Parking brake suddenly engaged while in traffic car would not move. Car had to be towed brake pads were replaced but mechanic stated parking brake had defect that only the dealer can repair.
Car had a rough start one morning. The engine light came on. All safety features were disabled. I took it to the car dealership that same day (sunset Honda San Luis Obispo California) they got back to me and said the car had head gasket failure. The dealership was the only person to do any meaningful mechanical work ( I did the oil changes) including transmission fluid and coolant changes spark plugs, belt sand valve adjustments etc. car is driven lightly as a daily commuter for work
This is regarding TSB 21-087, Warranty Extension for 2018 Accord Paint B-757P Still Night Pearl. I was not informed in writing as per required customer notification in 2001. The extended warranty was for 7 years from date of purchase with no mileage limit. When I noticed the paint peel on the roof seams on the left side and right side of the roof, I asked the local dealership today on 7/25/2025. They said I was a few weeks past the expiration date and I had to contact American Honda. While at the dealership getting maintenance performed, I contacted them via chat and they directed me to call instead. I called Honda and they said once the expiration date has passed, there was nothing to be done. I asked for good will and she declined. They will not provide email of incident, as per my request, from discussion but did open case and assigned a case number. Honda stated my only recourse was to pay for damage out of my pocket or wait to see if Honda will possibly extend the warranty and that it was my responsibility to contact them since they will not provide any notification again. So, my vehicle will continue to rust from the paint peel on the roof on a daily basis in the Florida sun. Or I have the option to pay out of pocket now and, if warranty extension approved request reimbursement.
I was driving around and all of sudden my car dashboard shows the Supplemental Restraint system problem.
All lights on head dash are on , all components are not working properly or effected because of this. (Engine light brake light abs light tire light traction control light , sensors out all) while driving vechile reduces power does not operate randomly , have to pull over shut the car off and turn it back on. Has high vibrations lot of shaking, stauling. I have had it looked at with multiple shops and dealer . Everybody is playing a guessing game and can not pin point what exactly it is . Was told it was spark plugs and coils, alternator , fuel injectors. ALL have been repaired, and still have all lights on dash and still facing every problem listed after repairs. Been inspected by manufacturer. Say not been resolved was told if it wasn’t what was already fixed they don’t know and that this is very common right now . It first started about a month ago.
Vibration in car took it to dealership but still can't figure out what's causing to vibrate so much when driving and idling.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway where the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the head gasket, resulting in a misfire in cylinder #3. The contact was informed that the head gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened for a goodwill assistance claim, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The contact was later informed that the goodwill assistance request was denied due to a lack of service records with a Honda dealer. The failure mileage was 74,000. The VIN was not available.

Driving down the road, no cars or obstacles in front of me. Out of nowhere the automatic emergency breaking came on. The car slammed on the breaks and very quickly came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. If there happened to be another car behind me they would have rear-ended me. There were no warnings prior to this happening.
I was behind another vehicle with the adaptive cruise control on and been following the for some distance at a speed below the cruise control setting. Warning came on for the braking mitigation, cruise control disengaged, vehicle began coasting but did not brake. I continued home driving without any other changes, but warning stayed on. After arriving turned vehicle off and restarted, Warning did not come back on. I have not driven vehicle since. I checked and found other reports of similar problems and am filing this report. Will continue driving with extra caution and report any other occurrences.
Emergency Braking System engaged for no apparent reason with no other vehicles on the road. Potential for rear-end collision. This was the first event. Personally inspected forward looking sensors / camera for blockage, none found. Did not notice any messages or warning during the event. Wasn't looking at the dash during the event.
Engine malfunction. Goes into “limp mode” going over 1800 RPM. Dealer has replaced engine coils and plugs multiple times. Sold as Honda True Used with warranty. Dealer states it’s out of warranty.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to exceed 10 MPH while driving. In addition, the contact stated when the vehicle was started, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with head gasket, fuel injectors, and turbo charger failures. The contact was informed that the head gasket, fuel injector, and the turbo charger needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,012.
The head gasket on my car blew before 150,000 miles. I had my car repeatedly serviced to include the recall for the fuel tank. I had to replace fuel injectors in a head gasket on this vehicle.
2018 Honda Accord 1.5T EX trim and I had a head gasket completely blown at around 82,600 miles. I, alongside with many many other 1.5T Accord owners, am experiencing this head gasket issue for such a low milage vehicle and it is simply inacceptable and Honda seems to be entirely ignoring this widespread, recurring problem on this engine. Reaching out and file a report in hopes of getting this to Honda's attention so they can address this asap. It has been 7 years since this problem and nothing has changed, which is not okay.
Head gasket blown
Well to start I had to replace my head gasket already last winter at 59K miles and for awhile now I had warning lights on my dash for CMBS system failure and cruise control/steering wheel controls don’t work besides the ones for music. No lane assist, none of those safety features work at all and haven’t for awhile
2/24/2025 Safety Recall work performed at Honda Marin; change Fuel Pump per recall. 4/28/2025 I reported vehicle stalling/misfiring, decelerating on its own and all lights keep coming on as a result of Fuel Pump change. Marin Honda performed cleaning of battery cables; technician claims nothing is wrong with the car. [XXX] car stalled at intersection, I went back to Honda Marin and reported vehicle is still having the same previous issues and complained that this is dangerous to have the car automatically decelerated on its own. This time I requested only for a diagnostic from Honda Marin. They spoke to my mom, who was not authorized to approve any work on my car, stated no blown head gaskets but mis-firing on cylinder 3, fixed the issue, passed pressure test(s), no leaks; and car was up to factory specks costs $2812.77 charged to my mom. 6/03/2025 brought car back to Honda Marin, same issues; service dept. road tested for 4 miles and stated the car was working as normal. 6/11/2025 told Honda Marin that the car is stalling and misfiring again; car shut down while on freeway; Honda Marin claimed problem was a punctured hose, charged $10.34 car up to factory specks. 6/12/2025 Brought car back to Honda Marin; still misfiring, stalling and dash lights coming on. Car will not accelerate past 3000rpm.; car shut down while in far left land on the [XXX] going to Marin County. Honda Marin performed leaked down test failed cylinder #4; blown head gasket; verbal quote approximately $5500.00 to fix. In addition to engine failures I had battery issues as well. Per reddit threads others too are having very similar issues, once the fuel pump is replaced, unexpected additional costs and safety failures often occur. This is a Honda Manufacturing Defect, the original fuel pumps are defective, causing a direct impact on the performance of the engine, unexpected damages which is leading to major financial and safety costs to the consumer.

Doesn’t run as it should,all lights and warnings show on the dash
July 10th Honda went into limp mode as I accelerated would not drive over 20. Check engine light flashed on then off. Have taken car in several times no codes can be read. Believe it’s cylinder issues or fuel possible head gasket. All vehicle lights has displayed haven’t been able to get reads once car is turned off. Too many issues with no repair fix.
I never was informed about the fuel pump recall , all the lights on my car came on , acceleration was slower , car was jerking , and when taking it to Honda they stated 2 of my cylinders has a misfire and water or coolant leaked and blew my head gasket , the car never ran hot and the guy asked did any light come on and I told him for some old reason every light on the dash was on and the car is vibrating while even in park reverse and when it's moving . I've read up on this and there are numerous of people with this same issue and this should mean something , Honda stated it would cost 6000 to fix when they should have already been warning people of the matter ahead of time . For some odd reason the car would just drive 10mph when I am driving jumping out in traffic having to pull over and restart the car . Guy at Honda even stated fuel pump could have been the issue and they have witness this with other cars like mine
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while at an undisclosed speed, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) message was displayed. The contact stated that the message was displayed at start up and remained displayed until the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon further investigation, the contact became aware that the SRS message warned about a failure with the safety features designed to protect occupants during an accident. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.
There are 10 warning lights currently on the dash. This is and has been an ongoing issue for over a year. Turning off the car then turning it back on the lights would go away. The car would periodically start to slow on its own while foot was still on the gas pedal which was dangerous in the middle of traffic or going 65 to 70 miles per hour on a highway. December 31, 2024 my car got towed to the Honda Dealership because the car stalled and wouldn't go past 15 miles per hour. Again the dash lit up. It was my understanding that it was because of the latest recall of the fuel pump issue that took over a year to be completed. The recall of the fuel pump was done January 6, 2025which took a week to complete and a week of work I missed with no available loaner car available to me. Once I got the car back the lights were not on the dash anymore but within 5 minutes of driving the car the lights came back on but the car did not stall and was able to go past the 15 miles per hour that was the original problem. Since January 2025 I have been dealing with these warning indicator lights and being the lights were on when Honda received the car to perform the recall I would assume a diagnosis would have been done but once I got the receipt there was no other issues recorded that was wrong with the car. There are absolutely too many Honda Accords with this problem. I've read everything from moisture in the tail lights triggering the lights, faulty battery, head gaskets, injectors to spark plugs. My car is no longer under a warranty and I have no means of paying for a guessing game when it comes to diagnosing the real problem with these cars. People are paying $5000 sometimes more and still having the same problem once they drive away. I honestly think a recall on this issue need to happen before something tragic happens. Maybe because it took over a year for Honda to get parts in to fix the recall fuel pump issue this is an exact result of going so long with the faulty fuel pump.
all lights on dash are on at the same time
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle jerked and failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle was restarted after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The contact stated that prior to the recent failure the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). However, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact was informed that some of the failures were not related to the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I went to enter the highway and the car would not accelerate and the check engine light was flashing and went into a limp mode. I got it looked at it it was giving me the misfire code for cylinder 2. I paid over $1k and had all the spark plugs replaced and coils. It was fine and then 6 days later it happened again. The mechanic looked at it pressurized with the bore scope and saw coolant. Then we knew it was the head gasket. This is crazy especially with Hondas being known for reliability. I’m at 87k miles and have been seeing that this happening to many others.
Dashboard lit up with a lot of lights and stuff
Unknown
Every light on my dashboard came on out the blue while driving.
Turbo underboost condition
The speech issues
Every light on my dashboard is on i done took it to honda an had the lights turned off server times still on
All of the lights in the dash came on . We took it to Honda , at first they said it was the coils and spark plugs. I had them replaced , the same thing happened again the computer read that it was misfiring on one of the cylinders . They kept it and ran several tests . They then tried to say that it the result of a bad oil change but we knew better. After about a month they said that it had over heated and blown the head gasket . I ended up having to use my warranty and pay a deductible.
UNKNOWN. My 2018 Honda has all the lights on in the dashboard and I’m getting a lot of warnings as well. I took it to numerous mechanics and they all say nothing is wrong with the vehicle. The lights turn on and stay on for multiple weeks then they turn off but then they turn on again. When the lights turn on I notice I cannot accelerate as fast and also all the safety features do not work. This issue started happening around mid 2023.
All lights in dash is on took it to honda they playing a guessing game injectors head gasket sensors they really don’t know many people are complaining with the same problems
See attached document for complaint.
Car goes in limp mode once the brake system lights come on. When the brake light system comes on, none of the functions for the automatic breaks or electrical portion of my vehicle works. The car will act as if it will not accelerate right before the codes start to appear on the car.
I took vehicle in because of all the sensors were going off. Honda ran a systems check and said fuel injectors needed to be replaced. It is all over the internet that this is a known issue and a recall was not issued. I spent $1500 on the replacement. These should not need replacing on an 18 accord with 80,000 miles. The recall on the fuel pump has not been addressed because Honda has limited parts. How do I know this did not affect the fuel injectors
I own a 2018 Honda Accord (1.5L Turbo Engine) and I have kept regular maintenance on the vehicle. I currently have 146,600 miles on the vehicle. I begin having problems last year as I was leaving work and my vehicle wouldn't start. I waited a few minutes for the vehicle to start and it started and several malfunction lights came on the dash including the engine light. I had a 30 minute drive home and as I was driving home the vehicle didn't want to pick up speed to the speed limit of 65. I drove slowly home. I had already made an appt with the Honda Dealership where I get my car serviced for an oil change a couple days before. The next day I had a family member to follow me 30 minutes away to the dealership to drop my car off. When I dropped the car off I told the service technician about the problem. Later that day the dealership's service department called to tell me that I my head gasket had blown and it would be around $4500.00 to repair. I began to ask questions as to how this could happen I had kept up with regular maintenance. The service technician begin to tell me different reasons, and I asked how when I had regular maintenance and some suggested maintenance required as well. I had my vehicle towed from the dealership to get a second opinion. The technician I took my vehicle to was authorized to work on Honda vehicles, and he asked me if I was aware of the complaints customers were having about their Honda 2018 (same model) was having about leaking coolant, cracked or blown head gaskets on cylinder 3. I told him I was not aware so I went and did research and found there were numerous complaints about the same problem I am having and Honda was not acknowledging the problem or people had the repair done which cost a couple thousand dollars only to have their cars still not working properly or getting the same malfunction lights. Now I have to look for another car. Honda's are supposed to last.
The Head Gasket is leaking at 135k miles after changing oil and filter every 5k miles and flushing coolant every 50k. Just a cursory internet search will show you how obvious the design defect is in the head bolts of the 1.5 liter turbo engine and they should be recalled.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V158000 (SEAT BELTS); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. Parts distribution disconnect.
Blown Head Gasket after taking my car in to Honda cars of Rock Hill SC, I had no issues, only took it to have the Fuel injector recall done, they did a diagnostic nothing came up, they did the fuel injector recall repair, and they asked if they could do the oil change i told them yes, a week later, my car lost power on interstate 77N in rock hill south carolina. I was going about 70 mph and it dropped from 70 to 20 mph in a matter of seconds, i had little time to get out the lane, i could have been killed or killed someone else i was terrified. Every known light on my 2018 honda accord came on, I have a video of the lights on my dashboard. I had it towed back to honda cars of rock hill on 5/30/2025 and was told I had a blown head gasket...I asked them how, they just put a fuel injector and nothing else was wrong with my car. they told me cost is $5500.00, i told them there as nothing wrong with my car prior to them doing the recall, Matt told me there was nothing i did, so i asked him what did they do to my car, I need them to replace my motor who knows what other damage happened my car had no issues.
During interstate driving vehicle detected both road departure and engaged the emergency automated braking. The vehicle attempted to correct the "road departure" by steering the vehicle away from the perceived problem and engaged the brakes nearly causing a collision as it has done numerous times before. I have reported this to NHTSA and American Honda and await a repair of this dangerous issue. Honda has opened a case on this but have had 6 months and no response has been issued.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact received notification of an unknown recall. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds on several occasions, the check engine warning light blinked, and the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was restarted after each failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Car keeps slamming on brakes on interstate Car keeps misfiring cylinders 1.5 Head gasket problems should have a recall with these Honda as much as they give problems..
My 2018 Honda Accord has become unsafe to drive. The car will not go over 15 mph, all the warning lights on the dashboard are on, and the engine and transmission feel shaky. The entire car shakes when I try to drive it, and it seems like multiple systems are failing at once. This happened suddenly and has made the car undriveable. My safety was put at risk because the loss of power happened while I was on the road. The problem has been looked at by my independent mechanic, but it has not been resolved. The vehicle is available for inspection.
Car falls into limp mode in traffic when a misfire is detected. I have had a mechanic investigate the misfire and has determined coolant in the cylinders, indicating a blown head gasket. This is a widely reported problem with this engine and the large number of complaints indicate this is a safety issue caused by Honda.
On 2025-06-12 at about 3:50 PM EST I triggered a remote start command from my phone via the HondaLink app to cool down the car before leaving work. When I went out to the car it had not started. I assumed the command had simply failed, so I returned home and parked in our attached 2-car garage at around 5:10 PM. At about 6:30 PM I opened the door between the house and the garage and heard an engine running. The car was found to have spontaneously started itself. I do not know precisely how long it had been running. It took me a couple seconds to recognize the situation and the danger, and once I realized what had happened I immediately closed the door to prevent carbon monoxide from entering our house. I tried accessing HondaLink to shut down the vehicle remotely but the app gave a message "Services Currently Unavailable". In order to safely shut it down, I opened the garage doors, waited a couple minutes for the garage to ventilate, then quickly moved in and shut down the engine while avoiding breathing in. We noticed a smell of fumes in our house near the connecting door. Both keys were in static locations (not in pockets, etc. where the buttons could have been accidentally pressed). They had been that way since I got home. I believe that HondaLink's servers sent the remote command to my vehicle *significantly later* than the command was requested. This is a major problem and safety checks should prevent a delayed command from having an effect on the vehicle, especially when dealing with engine start commands. The carbon monoxide buildup fortunately seemed to be minimal, although I am again unclear exactly how long the engine had been running. The vehicle will normally shut itself off 10 minutes after a remote start. However, the most dangerous situation would have been if the car shut itself off and then someone entered the garage shortly afterward without realizing that the vehicle had been running.
The door locks are unresponsive using both the fob and the vehicle controls. The problem started with a rear door not locking or unlocking when the other doors would lock. Eventually all doors became unresponsive. The doors now require me to manually lock each and use my fob key to unlock the driver door and manually unlock each door. I've replaced fuses to try to resolve the issue with no luck. It seems that the door lock actuators failed prematurely.
This is about the 5th time this has happened to the car. All warning lights appeared spontaneously while driving. The lights would turn off if the car was turned off for a long period of time or is we disconnected battery for a long period of time. We have tried to research the problem and no one seems to know what the cause or permanent fix is.
My locks failed and it took several repairs and they are still not working properly. I fear for my safety and the safety of my children. Honda told me sometimes locks just don’t work but that’s not appropriate to me as I paid the extended electric warranty but they cannot fix them. No knowing this will not go all through the life of my vehicle is a big issue.
The vehicle was totally inoperable and suddenly came to stop was lucky that was driving in a local road where there was no vehicle, suddenly all different warning signs were coming on the dashboard and couldnt drive at all and vehicle was totally stalled. it was very dangerous situation luckliy i was just came off a very busy road otherwise coudl have been major incident. Currently the vehicle is at dealership nto sure what they will say but just wanted to report this as it is very dangerous situation
Faulty/Leaking blown head gasket Causes car to stall
Head gasket failure Causes car to stall
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and then went into LIMP Mode. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
The head gasket is leaking. Yes, the dealer reproduced and diagnosed the problem. There were no lights on the dash. It is available for inspection if needed.
Apparently the coolant is leaking into chamber 2 and 3 and it’s burning it and I need to replace the head gasket. Spoke to and looked up a bunch of other people have had this same issue. It’s causing my car to stutter and it’s scary.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power, and unintendedly shifted to LIMP Mode. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that there was an internal coolant leak, and that the head gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 164,897.
I am writing to report a serious mechanical issue with my 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T that I believe may constitute a design or manufacturing defect with potential safety implications. At approximately 112,000 miles, the engine in my vehicle suffered a blown head gasket, which my mechanic determined was caused by a stretched timing chain. This failure followed roughly nine months of unexplained coolant consumption, during which time no visible leaks were detected. In addition to the coolant loss, the vehicle experienced two separate instances of entering limp mode while driving, creating a significant safety risk due to sudden loss of power. Furthermore, during the winter months, I repeatedly lost cabin heat, suggesting early signs of internal engine issues related to coolant circulation or combustion gas intrusion. These symptoms point to a progressive failure that was not addressed by any recall or Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) during my ownership. Given the growing number of reports from other 2.0T Accord owners experiencing similar issues with premature timing chain wear and associated engine damage, I believe this may be a systemic issue that warrants investigation by NHTSA. A stretched timing chain causing catastrophic engine damage can easily lead to unexpected stalling, limp mode, or loss of control in certain conditions — all of which raise concerns about vehicle safety and reliability.
• Head gasket • None of the safety features work when there is a head gasket issue. Power steering is reduced as well as break performance • Confirmed by Honda dealership with a Boroscope • Honda • No warning, Honda at first thought it would be fixed by fixing the factory recalls. Light went away prior to taking it in and then looked in to it 2 weeks later and diagnosed head gasket failure
The contact's wife owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at various speeds, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the warning lights were illuminated constantly. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel system was contaminated with water. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the spark plugs and flushed the fuel system; however, the failure recurred while driving. Additionally, the contact stated that the cruise control mode was no longer functional. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, where the contact was informed that further diagnostic testing was needed to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, but the contact had not received a call back. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
Hello, the fuel pump which is recalled on my vehicle failed and was replaced with an aftermarket pump so I could take it to the dealership. Once I took it the dealership refused to go ahead with the recall and basically told me it’s not their problem. They are required to get it done for customers but they refused to fix mine.
UNKNOWN I received the notice that there was an active recall on my 2018 Honda about the 1.5 Fuel Pump. I have scheduled several appointments to fix this, only for Honda to cancel all appointments related to the recall, stating they didn't have the part. I was headed to work, and every light on the dashboard that could come up, came up. There were several warning lights from brakes, transmission, collision, engine, etc. I took the car to the dealership, and they discovered that the fuel injector was the culprit. I am outraged because they're denying there's a connection, and I believe otherwise.
My 2018 accord sport started randomly started popping up a “supplemental restraint system problem” on my dashboard. It’s turns on and goes away randomly. I went to my local Honda dealer and I asked them about it and they had to preform a diagnostic for $250. Our Honda dealer wants to charge $4000 to repair it. I wrote to American Honda and submitted a support ticket, they asked for a new Diagnostic and charged us another $250. They called me back yesterday saying that they wont pay for the repairs unless there is a recall. How many people need to have the same issue to initiate a recall? There are a lot of complaints online for this same thing. It is airbag safety related.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle during cold weather, the vehicle hesitated while starting. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle independently went into LIMP Mode. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a blown head gasket and a GDI injector failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.
I purchased this 2018 Honda Accord that has had no major problems until the last 6 months. I purchased the car from Gerald Jones Honda and have had all repairs and maintenance done there with the exception of tire related concerns and occasional oul changes. All the issues I've experienced have been engine related and in the same area of the engine. Consistent leaks, repeated warning lights, and loss of speed. I have replaced fuel injectors, a head gasket, and a turbo in the last 6 months. Despite those repairs, I'm still experiencing leaks and flashing warning lights. Honda currently has my car due to warnings again. They have indicated it is a performance issue but can't locate the problem. Even suggested I continue to drive the car as they have been unable to duplicate what caused it. I told them to keep it because that makes no sense for me to drive it as it seems unsafe to do so and I could potentially make matters worse. I've spoken to several 2018 Accord owners who have experienced the same issues. This is very concerning to me and crippling my finances. Honda stands out for their reliability, but regrettably the 2018 1.5L turbo doesn't stand up to Honda's reputation.
Various 2018-2022 Honda Accord owners had fuel injector failures caused by the faulty factory fuel pump molding. The fuel pump has been recalled; however, not before the fuel injectors fail. My Accord recently got an array of warning lights pop up on the dash while driving on the highway. I read the code and it was a cylinder 3 misfire. A diagnosis has led to the discovery that the fuel injectors are failing, most likely because of the bad fuel pump molding affecting the pressure of the fuel lines. Not only could this have led to my car stalling on the highway, it led to a complete disabling of my safety features while driving. Honda should be held responsible for the fuel injectors failing caused directly by their fuel pump molding deviation.
My 2018 Honda Accord Sport has been experiencing issues with its automatic emergency braking system, specifically the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The system has been activaing unexpectedly, causing the car to brake without an apparent reason. I’ve been trying to keep a list of locations that it has happened and it usually occurs under overpasses when the light changes from light to dark. I’ve reached out directly to Honda and the dealership and neither took my inquiry seriously.
Engine keep going into limp every now and then and it’s pretty dangerous especially while driving on the highway. All the lights would come on the dashboard. On May 2 it almost cause an accident because it happened while I was driving on the freeway and I’ve changed spark plugs, injector my battery and it’s happening
All lights on dash Illuminated. They have come on several times. While driving. You don’t know if brakes, engine, acceleration will work. Limp mode activates or not. Fuel injector seems to be a problem with misfiring or some other issue
Faulty head gasket that resulted to more engine problems
Bad fuel injectors $2000 Bad head Gasket $5000 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T with 80K miles, well maintained 1-owner
My vehicle is stalling out. The engine failed. I was traveling and had to pull off the interstate and stop and restart vehicle. It was very dangerous as traffic was going at a high rate of speed. Yes the vehicle has been confirmed by a dealer. Yes all the warning lights are on in the vehicle.
This car had a manufacturer recall for the "fuel pump". I was advised by Honda to go get the car checked by the dealer to evaluate if the issues I was getting were related to the recall. I paid close to $400 to get the car diagnosed and about 3/4 months after that I was told that the part is available for the recall service. I got the repair scheduled at the dealership and got the part replaced. Ever since I got this fuel pump replaced, now the car is struggling to pickup. It looks like a miss fire but it doesn't show any errors on display. In this condition, this car is not safe to drive around as it is skipping the engine thrusts. I have looked at Honda website and other online resources and people are talking about these issues but HONDA hasn't said or done anything about it. It all started after I got the fuel filter replaced.
The 1000 miles or so, when trying to increase speed, would feel the gears slip between revolutions. I would let up on the gas pedal then slowly resume pressure, which sometimes worked or sometimes didnt. On April 19th while going up a hill on a side road, the car stalled and transmission warning light came on. I pulled over and shut the car off and restarted was able to slowly continue up hill at 15 miles per hour with the slipping becoming worse ( this is when I first called Honda to bring it in on Monday April 21.) I was able to arrive to work. After leaving work I pulled out of the parking lot and the car just stalled with all lights and warnings going off from engine to airbag warnings to tire pressure lights going off and dinging. This is when i called a tow truck to tow to the Curtiss Ryan Dealership. After talking to them at dealer they told me that other accords have had this problem.
This vehicle was built terrible. It had a blown head gasket at 86,000 miles. The head was warped. My valve guides and seals were compromised and leaking into the combustion chamber. I need a full head resurfacing job with new gaskets all around. New injectors and new valve cover gasket and everything around. This car has a design flaw and needs to be recalled for mediocre heads life. It almost caused me to get crashed from the back from a semi truck because the car decided to lose complete power while on the road. The cars recalls have been addressed but this whole issue with the faulty heads needs to be addressed. My vehicle is in the shop now and I will have to pay a little over $4,000 now. It's a hazard on the road when you get near to 90,000 miles.
Took in my vehicle to Rock Honda in Fontana at 125,000 miles for a second fuel pump recall. Two years ago my car stalled on me as I was driving on the freeway, it immediately decelerated from 65 MPH to 40 MPH, this happened before I had the first fuel pump recall fixed. Did the second fuel pump recall, and days later my car again began to decelerate from 50 MPH to 5 MPH. Brought it into the dealer and they told me my head gasket was blown.
Scanned for codes. Found P0303, P0299, and P2243 stored. Found coolant entering cylinder 3. Found excessive play in the waste gate rod and found A/F sensor is not responding. Needs head gasket. Vehicle starts up and runs rough. All alerts on alerts on dash on cust states check engine light on. Honda sensing alerts on.

The collision mitigation braking system is engaging while I’m driving with no obstructions in front of me. The car slows down completely while I’m on the highway almost coming to a complete stop. This has happened numerous times since Dec 2024. I took it into Honda and they did absolutely nothing besides charge me over $500 for diagnostic fees and told me to get an oem battery and bring it back to be inspected again.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and shuddered. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were intermittently illuminated. The failure had occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs, and air filters needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.
About a week ago my all my dash lights came on dash. Doing some research I found there was a safety recall on my vehicle that I did not know about. I scheduled an appointment with Honda to get it replaced, they informed me that the fuel injectors needed to replaced and were causing misfires. They claim this is not directly correlated to the recall but I believe that it is
Warning lights come all across the dash stating to see the dealer. I have taken it to the dealership and the issue is the fuel injector that causes the warning lights to go off and on at random. I still have a warranty of my car and was told the warranty does not cover that part. This is happening to a lot of honda accords but there is no recall for it. There is a safety issue for driving because they stay on and then go off and come back on again. This is unfortunate and unacceptable from Honda as a whole. I bought the car in May 2024 and the warning lights came on a week later and have been ever since off and on.
My vehicle is experiencing engine hesitation and it's getting worse every day I drive my car. This is a known side effect of the Honda Safety Recall notice I originally received in February of 2024. I received initial notification of a safety recall for my Honda vehicle in February of 2024 and it stated the safety issues of a possible faulty fuel pump modular. The letter expressed that they have no available parts but were working on getting them. I then received a 2nd letter regarding the fuel pump in May of 2024 and that parts were limited so they were focusing on customers who were experiencing side effect/safety issues with their car. I then received a 3rd letter in November of 2024 stating parts were ready and I just needed to contact my local Honda dealership to have my fuel pump modular replaced free of charge. I have called my dealership on at least two different occasions and have also taken my car in to Honda since then for general maintenance (oil change) and I keep being told they do not have the parts. The last time I spoke with them, I keep getting told that they do not have the parts. I am also always told they will probably call me in a couple weeks when they have the part but I never received that phone call from them. I can never seem to get a straight answer from them and am always told another excuse as to why my car and my family's safety is not important enough for them. I've even been told some of those replacement fuel pumps are needed for their newer cars.
Accident happened April 8th and Drivers airbag system failed me during my accident. Passenger bags went off top and bottom but the drivers foot bag went off also but the one in the steering wheel did not go off . Resulting in neck and head injuries. Car has only been inspected by our insurance claims adjuster. No warning lights on the dash and car has always been well taken care of regarding any recalls
While driving on the interstate, suddenly got 6 different ‘warning’ messages on the dashboard. Most of them involved the brakes. Emergency brake malfunction, brake hold malfunction, forward collision malfunction, adaptive cruise control malfunction, brake system malfunction (use of brakes may be reduced), and road departure mitigation malfunction.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the rearview camera became inoperable. The contact stated that the rearview camera failed to function properly, and the camera image appeared blank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 220,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and was diagnosed with fuel pump module failure. The contact was informed that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The contact was referred to the dealer for additional assistance. The contact received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact attempted to call the dealer but had not gotten a response. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
Vehicle cranks, will not start. Dealership says the fuel pump is good but the module needs replaced. Vehicle died on the highway.
The car is braking even when there is no obstacle or vehicle ahead. I have not driven at higher speed but I fear that if that happens, it can cause incident and injury.
Apparently the recall was fix with the fuel system, however the car is still losing power as you drive it.
I got a recall notice for my car for fuel pump which I got it fixed but now the dealership is saying I got fuel injector issues with head gasket issues. I have also read online that lot of people are having exactly this problem, their fuel pump injectors are also failing with head gasket on the 2018 Honda Accord and Honda is requesting $2000 in fixes
Head Gasket Leak at 75,000 miles, eventual blown head gasket due to lack of symptoms beforehand
Failure in road monitoring camera prematurely, 70,000 ish miles
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions, the vehicle lost motive power and was almost rear-ended. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and restarted. The vehicle was restarted, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated, and unknown messages were displayed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
My car started misfire .. all the lights went on the dashboard .. had to get it towed .. headgasket issues
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the turbocharger was not producing the expected boost pressure. The contact was informed that the OBD was reset, and that the vehicle needed to be taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired, and the unknown warning lights were again illuminated on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 142,000.
Cylinder 1 and Cylinder 3 misfire (Cylinder 3 misfired multiple times, even after attempts to fix it), and now I have a blown head gasket. On more than three separate occasions, my car has either stopped completely in the middle of the road—sometimes on the highway in the fast lane, with cars traveling 80+ mph behind me, putting my life at significant risk—or it will suddenly drop from the speed of traffic (80+ mph) to under 30 mph in a matter of seconds, out of nowhere. If it weren't for me swerving into an open lane to the right one time, I would have undoubtedly been rear-ended by a car traveling 80 mph. In that instance, my speed went from 0 mph to less than 30 mph in just seconds, which could have easily paralyzed me or even killed me had I hit my head on impact. Though I didn’t sustain a physical injury the first time this happened on the freeway, I did suffer a panic attack due to the sudden and extreme danger of the situation. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by two separate Honda dealerships at different times, but both were caused by the same issue. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer, as I had it checked at two different Honda dealerships. No, there were no warning messages or symptoms prior to the failure; all issues occurred suddenly while driving, when my car barely started producing any power on the freeway.
I recently experienced a power steering failure on my 2018 Honda accord 1.5t sport. When going to pull into a parking spot when turning my wheel to the left the power steering failed leaving me on the road. With all the lights coming onto the dash unable to pinpoint a specific issue. Upon taking it to the dealer I was informed that I needed a new “gearbox, steering”. More specifically the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. They sent me a quote for $6,233.73. As I was unable to afford this I looked Into this issue. As this has been a problem for Hondas my car wasn’t qualified for a recall upon looking at the nhtsa website. I am able to provide proof and documentation of the quote with price parts and labor.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
I am reporting an issue with the fuel injectors on my 2018 Honda Accord. It is a known issue but has no recall. Honda has no replaced the fuel pump on my vehicle yet. I have read of multiple issues with the fuel injectors and/or the head gasket going bad on the Accords. I noticed a knocking sound in my engine and a loss of acceleration power. I took my vehicle to the dealership and they reported an injector failure but it was not covered by Honda. My vehicle has less than 70,000 miles on it at this time. I believe the injectors need to be under a safety recall for the Accords.

My vehicle registration renewal notified a recall on the vehicle by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The steering wheel "sticks" at dead center when on a smooth straight road. When I try to make a micro adjustment due to road crown, wind, etc., the wheel won't move without considerable force, then will suddenly give way and jump off center the direction I'm pushing. Then I have to correct back.
I recently took my car to the dealer because I have multiple messages on my dashboard saying please see dealer dealing with my brake system, electric power steering, vehicle ability assist, collision mitigation system problem, etc the dealers don’t know what’s going on with it. I recently had service done on it because of the recall with the fuel pump and even before that those messages were showing up.

For the past four months, my check engine light has been turning on and off. One morning in traffic, my car suddenly went into limp mode. Fortunately, I was able to make it slowly yet safely to the nearest parking lot, but I had to get the car towed to different mechanics. Each one diagnosed a cylinder 4 misfire after running the computer diagnostics and checking multiple possible causes under the hood. A retired Honda mechanic mentioned he had seen this issue before and identified the fuel injector as the cause. When I researched my car on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, I found two different recalls. One related to fuel injector module failure and another for the fuel injector assembly. However, when I contacted Honda with this information, I was told that my VIN does not currently fall under the recall, despite experiencing the same exact issues. I was advised to get a diagnostic at a Honda dealership, which would cost a few hundred dollars, and then to submit a Goodwill request online, which is an unnecessarily lengthy process. I am requesting that Honda inspect this issue and add my VIN number to the recall, so I do not have to continue spending more money on a problem that appears to be a known defect.
As my car falls under this law suit and no legal action has been taken for it, I'm reporting that the Head gaskets for the 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5L are not properly designed for the wear and tear on a 1.5L turbo. I'm not great with describing car and there internal functions, so please refer to the active court case (3:24-cv-02286). This is an on going issue with the 1.5L Accords and is well known by the company. This issue typically comes with a ~$4500 replacement of the Head Gasket. In my case, I also head to replace 2 injectors that the dealer ship was saying were read as feeding rich. A common diagnostic that can also be caused by Coolant Leaks. These problems causes my car to flare every warning light available. I have no heat from the heater. My car sometimes won't shift or go into gear. I've yet to get this fixed as the mechanic is still awaiting word from me to proceed, so I don't have a invoice for the Head gasket repairs.
While driving my 2018 Honda Accord, I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. At the same time, the check engine light came on, along with multiple other warning lights, which caused the advanced driver assistance systems to stop working. This put my safety at risk, as I was unable to speed up in traffic, creating a dangerous situation. A dealership confirmed that the issue was due to a fuel injector failure, which occurred just days after I had the fuel pump replaced under a recall. Before the failure, the only warning signs were the check engine light and an “Emissions System Problem” message. I believe this issue may be directly related to the faulty fuel pump, which Honda delayed in replacing. If the defective fuel pump caused excessive strain on the fuel injectors over time, it could explain why so many owners, including myself, are experiencing premature failures. Given the safety risks involved and the growing number of similar reports, I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and hold Honda accountable for addressing the problem.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the sunroof shattered without impact, and shards of glass fell inside the vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 79,000.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.
The components and systems that are failing and malfunctioning in my 2018 Honda Accord are the engine, head gasket, fuel, injectors and turbo. While in motion, the car jerks and has issues with acceleration requiring the safety hazard lights to be come on and I’m unable to keep up with marked speed limit while traveling due to the sluggishness of the vehicle. The majority of these issues have been confirmed by a Honda dealership as well as another car shop. There are several warning and safety hazard lights that come on and go off the dashboard. Many times, I have to pull on the side of the road due to not being able to drive this vehicle.
There is a recall for the fuel pump on Honda Accords. When Honda replaces the fuel pump, the fuel injectors starts misfiring. All the warning lights start goin on. The car says it is not safe to drive and to go to the dealer. The car is not safe to drive, after the fuel pump replacement. Customers have to pay around $2000 + $130-$150 for diagnostic analysis to get injectors replaced. It should have been part of the recall. This issue doesn't start until the fuel pump is replaced.

While waiting for the recalled parts to be in stock for the fuel pump module, my car starting running rough and going into limp mode several times a day. Thus causing near accidents with my children in the vehicle. After getting the fuel pump module recall fixed I asked and had to pay for a diagnostics test to see what was causing the car to do this. We were told it was the fuel injectors and were quoted $2000 to replace those. That was done 4 days ago at the dealer, and it happened again yesterday! We took the car back to the dealer today and they have just informed us we need to replace the head gasket & turbo and had a coolant leak causing these issues?! Why that was never seen in the original diagnostics test nor a problem 4 days ago, but after spending $2000 we did not have to keep our family and others safe, we are now being told it will cost over $5000 to fix these now issues. We can’t afford that and now I don’t know what I am going to do! Honda needs to step up to the plate and take some culpability here and be responsible for what clearly appears to be a much needed recall for 2018 Accords! This is ridiculous. And for the service advisor to tell us this happens all of the time to these, if not daily, should speak volumes!
The actuator on the Drivers door would not allow the door to open. In the case of an accident the inability to exit the vehicle in case the passenger door was damaged or the damage was to the passenger side this would be a safety issue. The dealer repaired the issue by removing the drivers seat thru the passenger door then removing the door panel and replacing the actuator at the cost of $700 and 16 days. The manufacturer has not inspected the vehicle or the actuator. There was no warning before the problem occurred. I have checked the Honda Accord Forums and found this problem has been happening since the 1990’s so obviously the manufacturer should be aware.
Three times, while driving, the car went into limp mode and would not accelerate. Had to pull over, turn car off, and back on to fix the issue. Have had it looked at and they have mentioned engine coils and a new control module. Had it at the dealership in January and they did their full inspection and to fix fuel pump recall and didn’t mention any issues regarding this.

February 2025 All the warning light on in my car came on. I took it Honda where they had me pay $250 for a diagnostics. At 85K miles, that's when I found out a had a blown head gasket and need a replacement.They also suggested a new fuel injector. They quoted me $7,000. My warranty just expired. This was my car and I didn't know anything about warranties and renewals. I always go to go Honda for my services and I had just visited a few weeks prior and they didn't see anything wrong my car. The Honda service guy told me to car it to the nearest Carfax because my car and sell it. I was so distraught. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the money to pay for this.
My vehicle was under a recall for about 9months waiting for parts for Fuel pump to be available ( recall # 23v-858) to be available. While driving my vehicle went into LIMP mode in the middle of the highway causing me to swerve and have to off-ramp quickly to avoid high speed traffic. After my recall was completed January/25 my fuel injectors are starting to fail and same situation as before Limo mode in the middle of the high way. This is a domino effect from the fuel pump. Since the vehicle had a faulty fuel pump it caused an issue in the pressure and function of the fuel injectors. I find it outrageous for the consumer to have to pay for a safety issue that was cause by the company’s faulty part and lack of agility to react and fix the issue before it effected other parts. This has been a none issue in this vehicle but yet the consumer is the one have to pay 6k out of pocket to get it fixed.
Rear camera is showing a blank screen. Gridlines are visible but that’s it. It’s hard to see to backup so I’m afraid of a collision. There are recalls on other Honda accords but my VIN has not been included for this repair. No other warning lights are on.
July 2023 my overheated took it to Honda dealership in Memphis tn on covington pike after 3 days it was diagnosed with head gasket failure I paid 5000 to get that fixed not including a faulty air compressor fixed in 2021 costing 1000 so while traveling [XXX] it overheats and guess what the engine starts knocking and white smelly smokes starts coming out the tail pipe wow it's not drivable we're in Missouri on the side of the road stranded guess gaskets had blown while driving a bomber and guess what we had pay 500 for a tow truck to tow us back to Marion ar because the 1.5t engines [XXX] and im constantly buying coil packs and spark plugs this my third complaint I'm tired of spending my hard earned money and nothing is being done fix it Honda INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I received a Honda Safety Recall saying that fuel pump module may have been improperly moldered and could make it inoperable. On several occasions I have attempted to make service appointments with Piazza Honda of Limerick, which they have refused to help. They kept saying they didn't have the parts and when they did, they would let me know. I called 5-6 times and they kept saying the same thing. They were also the same dealership that when my car experienced a lot of the issues that were related to the fuel pump earlier in 2024, they fixed for me for around $2000. This is the only service center local to me and they're blatant disregard to repair a known safety issues after multiple attempts to schedule an appointment with them has led to this complaint.
Last year my car had a Recall for the fuel pump, I called my dealership in Branford CT to get this issues resolved. They kept pushing me off telling me they did not have the parts and to call back in October. I called back in October for them to tell me the will not be replacing my fuel pump because the recall ended. Well this year my Car started stalling, would not turn on, and the lights on my dashboard were all lighted up. I took it to Branford dealership Honda, where I always do and they told me it was a battery issues and made me pay almost $300 for that. A week later my car started the same issues and now told me it’s related to the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and pump and wanted to charge me over 2k. If my car was fixed when the recall came out I probably wouldn’t have this issue. I called American Honda and spoke to Jenna who was very rude, case [XXX]. I don’t know how a huge corporation is okay with their customers driving a vehicle with issues that can potentially lead my car to catching fire and then forcing me to have to sue. I would like my fuel pump replaced at no cost bc I would not have had this issue to begin with if Branford Honda and American Honda Cared about their drivers.

Randomly, my car will start throwing many warning signs when I crank my car. Then it magically disappears after 2 days. Also I drive my car past 40mph and the engine light came on and then I could no longer accelerate. My car was slowing down while I was on the freeway. I pulled over, turned my car off then back on. Everything is back to normal. Next day, I crank my car, warning signs again and then disappears. I took my car to the auto shop and they could not find any codes. I have videos and pictures. There’s also a Honda Facebook group with my same model car reporting the same behavior.

Christmas Tree dashboard with all lights on appeared a few weeks ago. Took car to auto shops twice. First time I was told coil 1 for cylinder 1 was misfiring, replaced with new coil. Lights did not go away, got my codes read again and was same error message of coil 1 misfire. In the past week car would not accelerate past 15mph after start up. I was immediately concerned it was a head gasket issue since that is a very known defect for my exact make and model of vehicle. Took into my Honda Dealership where I purchased my Accord brand new. Was just told Fuel injectors need to be replaced even though vehicle has been maintained properly. To me this seems this is directly correlated with the current fuel pump recall issue, I asked the service advisor if that was the case and she said she’d get back with me, and that she’s currently waiting to hear back from my Lifetime Powertrain Warranty company (Fidelity Warranty Services) to see if the fuel injector replacement is covered by them. If this make and model has time and time again been known to have faulty fuel injectors and head gasket issues that directly put the drivers safety at risk and end up causing thousands of dollars in repairs, Honda needs to take responsibility for rushing out vehicles without properly testing them first. If fuel injectors are not covered under my warranty, I will be contacting American Honda to assist me with the cost of the repairs.
my stall while driving and lose power while driving up hills etc. also shut off at times almost causing me several accidents. called the coral springs dealership in Florida and was told i had to pay have my vehicle dianosed before they can see if its the recall for fuel pump module. they rather for me to have an accident before replacing my recall issue. I spoke with a lawyer in regards to this matter in case something happens to me while driving and he gave me good news if you all dont repair this safety recall and im involve in an accident. I'm just asking to have my safety recall repaired asap before something happen. my name is [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have called Honda Dealer, John Eagle of Houston ( address: 18787 Northwest Freeway, Houston TX 77085 . phone number: 2815281165) for more than 60 days ago about the recal letter that I have received about my 2018 Honda Accord about replacing fuel pump. They informed me that the part is not available at that time and will call me when it will be available and till now I havent receeived any call from them.
Head gasket replacement Fuel injectors replacement Driving my car started sputtering and jumping. I took to Honda South to get it diagnosed. I was told it needed fuel injectors and a head gasket. Also to get other things done since the engine will taken apart (drive belt, timing belt, water pump). I started a conversation with a service mechanic in the lobby and told him my issue. He told me the 1.5 turbo engine has problems with the head gaskets and they see a lot of them.

I was driving to college all of a sudden the car went into limp mode. Before I could do anything I called Honda and they didn’t answer so I personally drove it to the Honda dealership 10 minutes away from me. They inspected the vehicle and told me the head gasket has been blown. The car has been garage kept never abused and they are charging me $6,100 for the repairs. It’s been a common issue for the 1.5t engine of the Honda accord and they have yet to acknowledge their manufacture defect. Please do something about this I have to pay for college how in the world am I gonna have money to pay $6,100 for a repair cost.

OPEN RECALL ISSUES I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my concern regarding the unresolved recall issue with my 2018 Honda Accord. I am a resident of Columbus, Georgia, and have made multiple attempts to have this recall addressed by the local Honda dealership in Columbus, Georgia, but have encountered persistent difficulties. I have visited the dealership several times inquiring about when my recall can be fixed. On one occasion, I was informed that the manager stated the recall could not be addressed unless my car was experiencing visible issues. Despite explaining that I was already experiencing some of the issues outlined in the recall, I was denied service. A few months later, when I visited again, I was told that no parts were available for the recall. When I called a few weeks after that, my calls went unanswered. Most recently, after the birth of my child, I visited the dealership once again and was told that all parts for the recall were out of stock. I requested to be put on a list to be contacted once the parts became available, as I am concerned about the safety of my vehicle and the need to have the recall honored. Despite these repeated efforts, I have not received a resolution, and I believe my consumer rights are being disregarded. As per Georgia’s consumer protection laws, including those concerning automobile safety and recall procedures, manufacturers are required to honor recalls and ensure that necessary parts are available in a timely manner. The continued lack of response and failure to address this issue is concerning, especially given the potential safety risks involved. Please do note and keep in mind that I have came to the Honda business about 3 times . I am undecided of the actual dates but the year was 2024 . I know I went before I had my baby in September and after I had my baby I received a minor inspection due to me complaining.
All the lights in the car turn on. I have no clue what the problem is. I have searched the internet and have encountered many people with the same problem. With no one finding a solution to it. Honda needs to take responsibility for this. I changed the battery and have replaced the battery terminals.

Approx. one year ago, my 2018 Honda Accord LX completely shut down while traveling at 35 mph. The engine light was flashing and I lost all power with only enough to pull over safely on the side of the road, I was terrified and called AAA who came and towed it to a local mechanic. At the time I was unaware of the recall. My mechanic did diagnostic test and found nothing. He explained the car went into "limp mode", indicating there was something wrong. The car started fine and I took it to our local Honda dealer for service. They had the car for 3 days, finding no issues, but explained it could be related to the recall. I was told the parts for the recall were unavailable and I would be notified when they came in. This week it happened again! I just contacted the dealer for status on the parts and was told I am 160 on a waiting list for the recalled parts and that they were sporadically coming in. I am afraid to drive the car, uncertain if this will happen again at a high rate of speed. I am a retired senior with limited income and need this resolved ASAP. Thank you for your attention to this matter. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The rear brakes are horrible. They wear so quick. This is my 3rd Honda Accord and I’ve never replaced brakes this much on any Accord I’ve ever owned. Back tires also wear really fast. The rear brakes squeal really bad and makes squealing noises when I’m driving. No brakes are being applied but the noise continues. I’ve had this car for 3 years and I’ve changed brakes 3 times which is ridiculous.
The lettering of the gear shift and signal light/ wiper switches run off easily making it hard to see in dark places and at night. Bring that those switches are the most crucial when operating the vehicle the white lettering should be sustainable and durable making the visibility great whether driving during the day or night.
The accelerator is going out when I drive. The car drives slow and pulls back while driving. Thought it was fuel pump, took it in for fuel pump recall, & the car is still doing the same thing, no change. All lights on dashboard are on. The safety of my children & myself has been put at risk quite a few times. While driving the car getting on the freeway ramp, the accelerator went out going up an hill and luckily I was able to put my emergency lights on & able to barely get over to the right side. My car almost stalled. I’ve taken it to the dealer a few times. When I took it to fix fuel pump recall, they said 2 other codes were coming on. I took it in again this past week to check those 2 codes hoping to get it fixed & he said now other codes were coming up. They couldn’t seem to find the problem. The guy said they had been working on it since 9am and it was almost 4 pm when I talked to him. He called me an hour later to say it could possibly be the head gasket but not for sure. My vehicle has been inspected by the Honda dealer. When the problem first happened on the freeway warning lights came on. Warning lights on are: Collisions mitigation braking system on, adaptive cruise control problem on, hill start assist problem vehicle may roll on, vehicle stability assist system problem on, electric power steering system problem on, brake hold system problem on, brake system problem performance on, tire pressure system monitor on, emission system problem on.
Vehicle emergency braking system randomly triggered, causing me to completely stop from 40mph to 0mph in the middle of a intersection. Almost got rear-ended. NO vehicles were infront of me to trigger the emergency braking system. Vehicle has not been taken to dealership yet.

The steering wheel "sticks" at dead center when on a smooth straight road. When I try to make a micro adjustment due to road crown, wind, etc., the wheel won't move without considerable force, then will suddenly give way and jump off center the direction I'm pushing. Then I have to correct back.
My car is having the same issue as the new recall on the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot sport utility vehicles (SUVs), 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type-S SUVs and 2021-2025 with the power loss and my car is stalling. Sometimes when I turn my car on, put it in drive, impress my gas pedal it will not go. I have to cut my car off, wait for about 30 seconds, restart it and then it will go.I took my car to Honda in Tifton Ga and I was told that it was my fuel injector. I was given code P0301 from Langdale Honda in Valdosta ga. I was quoted $1600 to fix this issue which I do not have. I’m currently having this issue and I’m sure it’s many others.

My Accord HG Issue Well my 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5t that I’ve owned for not even 2yrs and | bought it with 54k and now has only 59k on it and has started acting up the last few weeks!!! It went into limp mode once a few weeks ago outta nowhere and just shut my car off and so I then turned it off and back on and it reset. Well fast forward a week later and limp mode again and so l hooked it up to a OBD scanner and said misfire cylinder 3 so l replaced the spark plugs and at that point. I then noticed the oil was low and due for a change and it smelled like straight gas. So drove a lil bit and limp mode again and again it said misfire cylinder 3!!! So then I decided to swap the coil pack and checked the spark plug again and seemed normal, also I noticed my coolant was below minimum so I filled it hoping that was my issue and cruised later and no limp mode so l thought I that fixed it, but one thing I noticed was at higher rpm’s in Ist gear the exhaust would backfire a lil but no limp mode. Well the next day I went cruising for a few hours and it was good all night but then on my way home it went into limp mode again!!! So Saturday was when I filled my coolant and Sunday after cruising I checked my coolant and it was still at full, well l checked it again on Monday night and it’s now in the middle of full and minimum and the new fresh oil smells like straight gas and also went down a lil!!! So then I had a buddy who’s a mechanic with borescope look at the cylinders and cylinder 3 was not great 4 had a lot of carbon build up and liquid in which looked like antifreeze and I also did another test that confirmed it was the head gasket!!! This is VERY DANGEROUS and a SAFETY issue BIG TIME because I was on the highway and all of a sudden I lost power at 70mph and couldn’t accelerate and had to pull over on the highway which was even more dangerous and had to shut it down and then it would reset and I was able to drive until it happened again!!!
My 2018 Accord Sport 1.5 blew the head gasket at 118,000 miles. I've always taken good care of the car—it's never been damaged or abused, and I’ve used the highest quality engine oil for every oil change at 10k miles, even though Mobile claims it can last up to 25k miles. One morning, on my way to work, I started experiencing a misfire as I pressed the gas when the light turned green. Suddenly, the car lost all power, and I had to turn on my hazards and coast to the shoulder. After turning off the engine and waiting a few minutes, I was able to start it again and barely make it to work. I initially suspected a bad spark plug or coil pack, so I replaced all four plugs and coil packs. The fix worked for a day, but then the misfiring returned. The code was reading “cylinder 4 misfire,” so I decided to take it to Honda for a diagnostic. They called me after the test and informed me that the head gasket for that cylinder had blown, quoting me $5,000 for the repair. I refused to pay that and decided to tackle the job myself instead. The dealership wanted to drop the engine and disconnect everything, even suggesting a transmission fluid change, despite the fact that I’d had it serviced just 15 to 20 thousand miles ago. After doing some research, I found a replacement head gasket for only $35 and went ahead with the repair. Everything was going smoothly until I hit a snag with the crankshaft pulley nut, also known as the harmonic balancer nut. Despite numerous attempts, it just wouldn't budge. I tried using a 1,200 ft-lbs 1/2” pneumatic impact, then switched to a 1,600 ft-lbs 1/2” Milwaukee battery impact, and even got a pulley lock to secure it in place with a breaker bar. Unfortunately, the pulley is poorly made! When we over-torqued it, we ended up breaking the pulley even more. We also tried a torque multiplier, which only made things worse. Now, the only way to get that stubborn nut off is with a 2,000 ft-lbs impact, but I still haven't managed to break it free.
Misfire from premature failure of head gasket and poor design causing coolant to enter engine

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the message "Electric Parking Brake System" displayed on the instrument panel. In addition, on several occasions, the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired before for the brake circuit and a parking sensor prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the same local dealer where it was diagnosed with a possible sensor failure; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The VIN was not available.
Check Engine light came on along with several warning messages. The dealer ran diagnostic that showed error code P0304 recommending replacement of failing Fuel Injectors. The service estimate noted "no sign of leaking head, other cylinders also showing periodic misfire, fuel trims dropping below 0.9, indicating failure". This was very surprising as the car has mileage of less than 57,000 with regular maintenance done. The realization with safety came with recent episode on 1/7/2025 when the engine did not pick up speed after pressing accelerator and I had to pull back into parking lot. A call to Honda did not help as the representative said there is no recall for this model of car fuel injector but it appears there is know issue with the 1.5T engines from 2018. As the dealer did not help any further and gave estimate of $1600, I had no choice but to have the fuel injectors replaced with a car repair shop spending $1265. I believe firmly that Honda should acknowledge the issue with the fuel injectors and recall/ cover them under extended warranty. This would improve the safety of 2018 accord 1.5T.
My vehicle has 101,000 miles and the head gasket has failed and I could provide the vehicle for inspection upon request. The problem has been confirmed by a Honda Master Mechanic that the head gasket has failed. The failure of the gasket caused the vehicle to cut power of the vehicle while driving on the freeway. A warning on the dash came up that stated, that the vehicle is limiting power to the engine.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH at night, the driver's side headlight became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the presence of condensation in the headlights had caused the headlights to experience a short circuit. The dealer replaced the entire driver's side headlight assembly. The vehicle was repaired at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer later informed the contact that the repair could not be covered because the vehicle was used. Additionally, the contact stated that the third-party warranty did not cover the headlights. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
UNKNOWN This morning I started my car and nine code were thrown, my car was just serviced and inspected at a Honda dealership about a week ago and nothing indicated a catastrophic issue that is presenting itself now. Nine separate codes have been thrown an emissions system, two brake system, electric power steering, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking system, and road departure mitigation. After researching my car, 2018 Honda accord, there appears to be a trend of owners experiencing the same phenomenon occur, along with power loss that is triggered by cold weather. I live in Texas where it is usually hot and it is 20 degrees today. I am concerned that the failure of these systems puts me in danger while driving, I am also concerned why it was undetected only a week ago and seems to have totally malfunctioned now.
Blown head gasket with low mileage. No warning or symptoms before issue occurred. Car cut off on highway.
Intermittently flash warning lights on panel- all warnings at once. The vehicle maintenance log does not indicate the issues showing on the panel are relevant. It comes and goes, sometimes for weeks. Dealership has been unable to diagnose issue and the recall for similar issue - which has happened on other 2018 Honda accords, not showing as related to my VIN# despite being the same problem as the recall notice.
At approx 10pm, vehicle was moving at a steady speed of 70mph on urban highway on New Year's Eve. Without any indication or warning, the car stalled/had loss of power for about 1-2 seconds and recovered and then about 1-2 minutes later stalled again and recovered. No dashboard lights ever came on. I thought maybe the clutch was failing again. I immediately got off the freeway to find a safe place to call for tow. As I drove to parking lot, my motor made a loud, uncoordinated, rattling noise which is towards the left side and near the engine cover. I thought it might be the serpentine tensioner because only the belt only had been replaced in May 2024. The rattle gets louder with high RPMs. After reviewing service records, oil change on 04/18/24 is the first mention of valve cover leak, and oil change 12/23/24 indicates possible rear main seal leak, residue around rear main cover which made me suspect gasket failure. The dealership denied the fault lies with tensioner or clutch and said the knocking sound is from the lower portion of the motor - possibly a faulty knock sensor - and the engine would not be disassembled to provide a more specific diagnosis. The dealership said a replacement engine is needed. No diagnostic codes or other specifics were provided. Dealership replaced fuel pump module per recall protocol. My and my grandchild's safety were jeopardized because my malfunctioning vehicle could have created a deadly traffic hazard among NYE celebrants who may have been driving distracted or with impaired cognitive function. In the past when my vehicle had stalled, it would lose power and I would have to coast off the freeway or to the side of the road. In those instances, my car created a traffic hazard & congestion for the vehicles behind me and toward the side that I was trying to exit.
I was on the highway with moderate traffic. My car would no longer accelerate due to a blown head gasket out of nowhere, I was on the far left lane and had to traverse over 5 lanes in moderate traffic while other drivers on the highway were going 60+ mph. This is a common issue among Honda Accords with the 1.5 engines.
My vehicle was purchased in 2021. It is a 2018 Honda Accord Touring model. The engine is a 1.5TRG. My current mileage is 88,405. About three weeks ago, my mom drove my car to the store and the dash lit up. By this I mean that the dash lights lit up for check engine light, lane mitigation, oil, etc. She was less than 5 minutes from the house and immediately drove back and parked the car. Mind you, I've driven a car with a blown head gasket. It smoked, temperature gage would show that the vehicle was hot, etc. My car never showed any signs that the vehicle was exhibiting or about to run hot or any other engine issues. At a later time, maybe a week later, I attempted to drive the car and it sputtered and barely wanted to take off. I parked it. My service appointment was 12/13/24. I paid $200 to have them diagnose and tell me the issue. I drove my vehicle to the dealership thinking that this could have been a sensor issue. Had I known that this was the problem, I would have had it towed there. The vehicle is now at my home parked. I researched this issue and from what I've seen, there are several consumers that are experiencing the issue. I own a 2014 KIA Soul that experienced a similar issue. Hyundai/KIA performed the repair FREE of charge and also provided me with a rental. I am currently still financing this Honda Accord and I think that it is completely unfair to the consumer to pay upwards of $4K for something that is clearly a manufactures issue. Aside from replacing the gasket, they also included replacing the spark plugs, timing chain, etc. This was my dream car but has since been a nightmare knowing that not only do I have to continue to pay the note but to pay $4K for repairs that aren't my fault. I maintain the oil changes for the vehicle and any other recommended services. Someone needs to hold them accountable to stand by their product.

Getting a dash warning that all mitigation systems are not working and to see my dealership
1. The head gasket on my 2018 Accord LX 1.5t was lifting and causing a leak of coolant to enter cylinder #3 and therefore burned one of the valves within the cylinder. 2. Safety issues that I experienced was the car stalling randomly while driving causing me to have to pull over in unsafe locations. 3. A Honda dealership has confirmed the burnt cylinder valve and recommended a head gasket and cylinder valve replacement. 4. No police or insurance agency has inspected the vehicle/parts, only a Honda dealership and private mechanic. 5. The were all the dashboard lights that came on but the car had stalled immediately after without much time to prepare.

honda has yet to fix the fuel pump issue after issuing recall on the fuel pump over a year ago. I've been by the Honda dealership numerous times trying to get this recall fixed. Now i am having many issues with my car and i can't even drive it at this point. The Honda dealership told me that I have a cracked head which has caused may other issues. There is known issues with the 2018 Honda accord 1.5t that Honda has to even acknowledge. There wasn't an accident thankfully quick thinking on my behalf. There are many issues that Honda had refused to acknowledge and as single woman living off one check and still paying for my car, recently fired because it's now hard for me to get to work because i do not make enough to uber to work and pay my monthly bill it's caused me many issues and lots of out-of-pocket expenses. Now as I am trying to find a remote job that i don't have to drive into I am desperately trying to not lose my house which is almost out of my control and will be homeless because of this known issue that Honda has known about and has yet to do anything about. i have loved my car and to the point I was thinking about trading in and getting a brand new one and would have been Honda fan the rest of my life this has ultimately ruined my life, and I am hating this decision to buy one from the get-go. This should be illegal, and Honda should be held responsible for fixing this issue which has cost me almost my whole life. The fuel pump has failed which either indirectly or directly has affected the head gasket, and every light is lite up on my dashboard and goes into limp mode when trying to go. the warnings that are up are the emissions, the electrical warning has been on for years and no could or can find out why. I've taken it into the Honda dealership & other repair shops trying to get this fixed, but no one can figure it out. I can accelerate to get up to speed and it tells me to not brake hard, on top of the other warnings this has caused to come

My head gasket is blown. It blown while I was driving down the road, it went into limp mode. I took it to the dealership and got it inspected. My car kept running hot, it also keep losing speed and lights on the dashboard.

Head Gasket failure. This causes the car to begin misfiring/stalling while accelerating. This is seriously dangerous. It happens when you are accelerating. Then, since it's an emission/misfire issue, the car goes into limp mode and forces the car to no longer exceed the limp mode speed, which is usually like 30 or 35 mph.The stark difference from highway speed resulted in me almost getting rear-ended by a semi. This has happened to me on two different occasions and posses a legit safety concern for everyone. You can do a simple 2-second Google search and find an insane amount of people having the exact same issue. I am luckily trained in high stress and ooo shit scenarios, so I was able to successfully get the car off the road without dying or getting smoked by a semi or driver not expecting the car that just entered the highway to drastically be slowing down. However, the average person would probably not instinctively hit the hazards and get over/off the road and onto the side. This issue is completely unrelated to the fuel pump recall because if it was a fuel pump failure, the car would never end up in limp mode. Limp mode is almost always emissions related(IE misfiring from head gasket leakage).

I received numerous letters from Honda about the recall on my car since earlier this year. I have contacted Brian Honda in Fayetteville about 5 times already and keep getting the run around or ignored and passed along saying they do not have parts for replacement and for me to keep calling back. When I do call back they do not answer the phone or answer emails. I have an infant in my car and I do not think it’s safe for me to drive around with a new baby in the car in risk of my car breaking down. One time the advisor asked me if I’m having problems and I said no not yet and he said yeah hopefully you don’t while we’re waiting

Unknown Vehicle continues to display all warning lights on continuous jumping when driving. It took over seven months to obtain parts and took 26 hours to complete service leaving me without a vehicle. The damage received on the vehicle while waiting on parts caused more problems. Replacing the part after seven months of driving has caused my vehicle to deteriorate beyond repair in my opinion. I am requesting compensation or the ability to have a full inspection beyond the initial recalled parts in order to confirm that my vehicle is in proper working condition.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the significant delay in addressing the safety recall (NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-858) for my 2018 Honda Accord (VIN [XXX] ). Despite multiple attempts to schedule a repair at Hendrick Honda of Charleston, I have encountered repeated delays and a lack of transparency from the dealership. Despite confirming part availability, I have been repeatedly turned away due to excuses such as "repair backlog" or "part shortages." This ongoing issue poses a serious safety risk and is unacceptable. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter and take immediate action to compel Honda to prioritize the repair of affected vehicles and improve communication from their dealerships regarding the recall progress. Attached are email confirmations of previous service appts to repair this specific safety recall. Also attached is the Carfax open recall report for my vehicle, which I was first notified of on 1/17/24. Note: These documents do include previously cancelled appts due to the lack of communication and transparency from dealership. Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter.

While traveling at approximately 30-35 mph, my vehicle suddenly and abruptly stopped, flashing the word "brake" on my dashboard. I was traveling in the right lane on a four lane road, with no vehicles in front of me or to the left of me. There were no pedestrians near, the road was free from any hazards and the road ahead was clear of any potential hazards that may require an abrupt halt. I was properly restrained, but my safety and the children I travel with could have quickly become compromised if hit from behind. Additionally, everyday items such as my school bag, water bottle and my children's books that I keep in my vehicle came flying forward, obstructing my ability to properly operate my vehicle. Additionally, being that this was unexpected, I was pretty shaken up which compromised my ability to safely operate my vehicle while attempting to find a place to park my car. My vehicle was not inspected and I used my owners manual to turn my collision mitigation braking system off in order to safely arrive at my destination. Additionally, there were no warning signals or messages that indicated this issue before it happened.

The first recall email I got was on 12/19/23, in January 2024 I realized I started to have an issue with my fuel pump. So I called my local Honda dealership to get the part replaced at that point they said they didn’t have to part and to check back in a few months. I was told I could use fuel pump cleaner in the meantime to help my car’s performance until I can get it replaced. I called again in May they still didn’t have the part so they said to call back in the fall they should have the parts by then. At this point I’ve been having to put fuel cleaner in my car weekly in order for it to be drivable. 9/10/24 I called the dealership they tell me to call back the next day. 9/11/24 they still didnt have the part and I’m on a waiting list. 11/20 I feel my car is becoming to dangerous to drive it started to make a loud noise during acceleration so I contacted a non local dealership and they don’t not have the part either.11/21 my car is now making a whirring sound and now smoking when accelerating so I contacted another non local dealership they had the part so I immediately scheduled an appt for 11/22 at 10:30am to have the part replaced. They said it would take 3-4 hours to fix. I had my boyfriend drive the car to the appt as I am [XXX]. The appt took only 1hr to complete. They said it was done and gave the keys back to him and he left. The car seemed fine to drive in the beginning then about 10 minutes of driving it started back up. He got back home and at this point I am completely frustrated. I have the car towed to my local Firestone to have a diagnostic check ran on it. And it came back the engine is messed up. I am not calling anymore of local dealerships I just want my car towed be fixed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
At 59/k miles the fuel injectors have all got to be replaced at a cost of 1700. I bought a Honda for reliability. I am learning now online that the fuel injectors on the 2018 Honda Accord are a major problem but there is no recall.

My 2018 Honda Accord with just 81k miles had its head gasket blown. The car has never been modified and I don't drive it hard. I was driving on the highway this past weekend (11/22/2024), and the car went into limb mode and stalled me on the highway. The check engine light started flashing and other lights on the dashboard all came on at once It started misfiring sporadically, so I took it took Honda and they told me due to Engine faulty design, the coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber and flooding the spark plugs, causing misfires. The service advisor at the Honda dealer mentioned that many customers with the same engine are experiencing this exact issue, and that it's only covered under extended warranty, otherwise I would have to pay out of pocket, I was quoted $5700

My vehicle will randomly lose power while driving, lights will flash and then car will just stop and turn off. Try to turn car back on and all these lights are flashing and engine light stays on with codes. Taken my car to performance Honda MULTIPLE of times, paid to get it towed, Honda continues to say they don’t know what’s wrong with it. I’ve recorded videos of my car losing power and given them to Honda and they still couldn’t provide any answers after having my vehicle for 6 months on and off. My car continued to do the same thing all over again after Honda ended up putting used spark plugs in my car and I returned my car to Honda again. They replaced fuel pump and I made it 30 minutes home and my car broke down in the middle of an intersection on the highway again and all my fuel was all over the road. Honda came and got my car again. Car is not even reliable to have my kids in. This has been the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned and no dealer will even let me trade the car in because of all the recalls this model has had and how many customers have complained. I’m at a total loss and now a loss of a vehicle I have to pay on and can get rid of it for something safe to have my kids in. I’ve only had this car for 3 years and the last two years have had the same continuous problems with no explanation. Honda just clears the codes and gives the car back every time they have it. I’ve had to call 911 to have cops come and block my vehicle on the highway because it’s broken down with me and my kids in the car and my car wouldn’t start so I could move it. Honda knows about the continuous problems and has record of having none stop. No lights or anything on prior to car just losing power and turning off or not going over 20 mph and going into limp mode.
Hi, I would like to address two issues separately for my 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T 6MT; one dealing with the open recall and one dealing with how the vehicle operates dangerously due to poor programming under specific operating conditions. To add, I speak as an engineer working in the automotive space specifically on the design of ADAS and AV systems with ISO26262 and SOTIF in mind. 1) There is an open recall for my vehicle for a fuel pump issue. I am experiencing some of the symptoms of this issue, specifically, my car will hesitate at around 4000 RPMs during acceleration. I immediately back off the accelerator and then the check engine light flashes and I lose all engine power. I then restart my vehicle and it operates more or less normally with the occasional illumination of all the dash lights. I have taken my car to the dealership expressing my concerns (Braman Honda of Palm Beach in particular) and they said they cannot do anything about it unless since there are no parts. I have paid for them to diagnose the issue but since they cannot recreate the issue (as it is intermittent) they cannot do anything. Question: what is the point of a recall if a vehicle experiencing the symptoms that lead to the recall cannot be repaired due to "part shortages"? 2) I want to talk specifically of the vehicle programming to cut engine power off. I think I have a separate electrical issue that causes all the lights on the dashboard to go off and again cut engine power. I understand that engineers may want to design their vehicles to cut power off when there is a potential mechanical failure, but in this case the issue is purely electrical. The fact that I can restart my car and accelerate normally shows that the issue is not mechanical. I believe this programming needs to be addressed. To be frank, losing engine power while driving on the highway may lead to catastrophic consequences. I feel that my vehicle is unsafe to drive since it has happened to me multiple times already.
While taking off from a full stop, the vehicle's transmission shifted violently to the point where it felt as if the car was rear-ended. This is an issue for which I've filed numerous complaints before with NHTSA knowing about the problem by now, and having done nothing to initiate a recall. I have also taken the car to the dealer who failed to properly diagnose the issue. Finally, another mechanic did provide me with an entry from Honda where they sort of admit to the issue. The fix, of course, is to replace the valve body or the whole transmission. Hence, due to NHTSA sitting on their thumbs, thousands (maybe, hundreds of thousands) are now stuck with a vehicle which will need a multi-thousand dollar repair outside the warranty and NHTSA did not properly investigate the issue and push the manufacture to issue a recall.
My head gasket and yes it’s available as long as the shops local. Can’t really drive it also I put fuel because a part of the problem is Honda recommending running 87 for fuel in manual and for a turbo car with direct injection that is part of the reason that’s causing this too happen too soo many 1.5t Accords! As far as safety it’s very dangerous, I went into limp mode multiple times on the highway and when that happens losing power on the highway is dangerous but having to pull over on the side of the highway is VERY dangerous!! Yes it has happened over and over and goes into limp mode just about everytime driven and yes a dealer has seen it. Yes every time it’s happened the dash lights up like a Christmas tree with check engine light! It started in Sept!!

When driving, the car will suddenly slow down and automatically will apply brake. Then, the warning light will pop on the dashboard. When I run the diagnostic, it shows that the car has C0023-12: Brake Diag Circuit on Failure.
12-18-2023, . . . original recall on Fuel Pump which may cause 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 L engine stall while driving. 02-21-2024, . . . . .I received a letter from HONDA about this fuel pump. 03-01-2024, . . . . . Braman Honda of Lake Worth, Florida, advised me, while at their dealership for regular maintenance about this Recall. My fuel Pump would ordered, and they would contact me to come back to rectify this Recall. As of today, 11-16-2024, Braman Honda has failed to contact me, over 8 months later. . . . . . . What if my Honda Accord stalls while I'm driving at 65 mph? I WANT this matter resolved. I am documenting this complaint against Braman Honda, and Honda Automotive Division. Thank You, Retired Florida DHSMV Officer
I was attempting to accelerate on the acceleration ramp to merge into traffic on the interstate, when my vehicle began violently jerking, and suddenly lost all power. My check engine light came on and it went into limp mode. This has happened twice now. Both times I was able to make it safely into the shoulder of the road with my hazard lights on. I turned the vehicle off, reset it, and have had to drive it since. The warning lights are on and off, depending. They’ve had since December of 2023 to release a recall and they haven’t yet. I need a remedy.
Vehicle engine stalled under acceleration and would not go over 7 mph. Had to pull over and turn car off.
Numerous Honda Accord 1.5T have blown head gaskets, numerous complaints of this happening during freeway travel. The car will suddenly go into a "limp mode" and won't let you travel over 20mph. This could cause an accident. Numerous examples of this can be found on YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, and other social media outlets. Honda Service Techs explained this happens because of weak head bolts that stretch overtime due to pre detonation. most commonly accruing between 20,000-75,000 miles. No recall, extended warranty, or TSB has been issued by Honda, often leaving the owner with a bill between $5000-$10,000.

Losing coolant, told possible blown head gasket. Come to learn, this is a FREQUENT issues with the 10th gen Accords!
on going issues with 1.5 t direct injection issue with major blown head gaskets. my head gasket now has blown and causes a serious safety issue with limp mode no power. All warning light where on and i was in a turn lane on a major highway and when i took off car limp mode and almost taken out by a semi truck lucky he changed lanes to avoid hitting me. Look at internet, facebook etc absolutely a ton on blown head gaskets in these 1.5t honda accords needs recall issued.
The car was parked, I turned on the car and the whole dashboard lite up, the car wouldn't move, when it did it was really sluggish. Took to dealership and determined it was a bad head gasket with a misfire in the cylinder two. People are complaining about this issue all over the Internet, bad head gaskets prematurely blowing for 2018-2020 honda Accords
Honda dealership told me that coolant has leaked into the head gasket causing my car to have a rough startup. My car never had issues until month ago.

I Have been waiting since August of 2024 to have my car repaired. I have called Honda numerous of times about my car not starting and stalling while driving. I was basically told that they will not order the part and replace until my car is fully not running at all. I was told I would have to pay for a diagnostic and for my vehicle to be towed to get looked before they can decide to order the part for my recall that is suppose to be Free. I am at the point of just taking this situation to Court.
Cam position sensor on bank 1 went out at 75k miles. Causing the vehicle to go into a sort of limp mode. The only way the issue was temporary fixed was if the battery was unplugged and plugged in again and the engine was up to operating temperature.

Subject: Urgent Concern Regarding Parts Availability for Fuel Pump Motor Safety Recall (Exp2) – 2018-2020 Honda Accord 2.0T Dear NHTSA, I am reaching out to express my concerns regarding Honda's lack of parts availability for the Fuel Pump Motor Recall on the 2018-2020 Honda Accord 2.0T. This recall addresses a critical safety issue with the fuel pump, which could cause the engine to stall unexpectedly—a significant hazard to drivers and passengers alike. It is troubling to note that while Honda has continued to produce and release new vehicles for 2024 and 2025, they have not been able to provide the necessary parts to repair recalled models already on the road. This discrepancy raises serious questions about the prioritization of safety, as new production vehicles seem to take precedence over the repair needs of existing owners affected by this recall. As a Honda owner, I rely on my vehicle daily, and this delay has caused considerable inconvenience and concerns for my safety. I am seeking guidance on Honda's obligations in this situation and any additional steps that owners can take to expedite these necessary repairs. If there is anything that NHTSA can do to encourage Honda to prioritize the availability of these parts, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I have a 2018 1.5 Touring with 94k (bought 5 years ago with 7k miles. Religiously performed all maintenance including oil changes and transmission fluid. I started having this issue on and off about 2k miles ago. This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes the car runs great with no problem...then the next time I start the car there is a rough idle and I get the shuttering/jolting/jerkiness (feels like the engine is misfiring) when the engine revs over 2.5k rpms or so. Out of habit, I typically drive in eco mode as I drive mostly highway miles. I also noticed that this is less of an issue in sport mode. If the jerkiness starts, keeping the car under 2k rpms avoids any additional jerkiness. If I accelerate, I will get one of two results: - The first is limp mode, which I can solve by pulling over, turning the car off, turn the car back on and the check engine light goes away...and the car may or may not be jerky again. - The second is limp mode with a Christmas tree of lights on the dash and warnings in the tachometer display area - which cycles through the following system problems: "Brake System", "Vehicle Stab Assist", "Hill Start Assist", "Adaptive Cruise C System", "Collision Mit Braking System", "Road Departure Mit System", "Emission System", "Electronic PS System ". If I turn the car off and back on, the error lights and messages still appear. I can clean the codes (P0302 cylinder #2 misfire) with my scanner, then the messages and lights go way...and the car may or may not be jerky again. I took the car to an experience independent shop that works primarily on Hondas. My mechanic had not seen this issue before. He test drove it and (luckily) experienced the issue. I asked him to install the new spark plugs that I bought from Honda. He also swapped coil packs around and had the same issue. He pulled the codes before and after the new plugs and swapping the coil packs around and the code was still on Cylinder #2.
Everyday the vehicles struggles to pick up on speed and stalls out. I am often holding up traffic because I’m driving to slow. I have to very very very slowly accelerate so that the car doesn’t stall. When the trying to accelerate it often skips and jerks while driving. I often wonder if this will affect me while driving on the interstate. I fear that a bad accident is on the horizon with these issues. Could you please help. I’ve tried multiple times since last December to get the car fixed and Honda refuses to fix my vehicle even though I received a letter in the mail saying more repair parts are available.
Car is not properly driving , engine stops while driving , causing car to over heat after 20 minute use

During normal driving - clear weather conditions - the car will suddenly activate the forward collision braking. It will literally slam on the brakes and decrease the speed by 10-15 MPH. This happened as I was going down the drive of our neighborhood, I was at 45 MPH with no one in front of me or behind me (thankfully) and the car applied the brakes and activated the front collision warning. There is also an intermittent issue with my seatbelt. Specifically the drivers seat belt. I was witness to someone driving my car - he buckled his seat belt and it unlatched. He then buckled it again thinking he didn’t do it right - but it wouldn’t latch. This has happened to me before as well - but usually after the third try of buckling the seat belt it will work and so I thought nothing of it. Additionally, the windshield wipers do not go back to their original position after being in use.
When in reverse gear, the backup camera images appear blurred with color distortions. This happens more frequently when it has been raining or there's mud on the roads and less frequent when it's dry.
The issue has been observed repeatedly and confirmed by my service center during each replacement. It has occurred in different environments and driving conditions, and despite repairs, the problem persists. Honda refuses to replace headlamps after multiple faliures The vehicle has been inspected multiple times by my service center, but the manufacturer has not directly inspected it. No police or insurance representatives have been involved in the inspections. Each time the repair is made “All looks normal” The problem is preceded by a warning light on the dashboard indicating a headlight malfunction. Shortly after, the headlight fails, and then the turn signal malfunctions. The first instance of this problem occurred around 28,000 milesand it has recurred multiple times since then.
I’ve been trying to get my part replaced since August and I’ve been hundreds of dollars in between that time till now WASTING MONEY! And I’ve been told by 3 different dealerships that because I wasn’t experiencing what they considered major issues that they decided to not see me for the recall based off the information provided. I spoke with someone yesterday that I spoke to weeks ago about the same thing, and was told they didn’t have the part then when I asked to speak to a manager, he put me on hold and told me the part was in. I haven’t been able to drive my car since last Friday. It’s a huge inconvenience, as getting this part replaced would eliminate that issue I had to beg and threaten ppl jobs to get it replaced! But the amount of money I’ve wasted and fallen behind on MY BILLS IS CRAZY!!!!!! Honda should be cutting me check for the money loss as result so I can pay on things I had to wait on.. or create arrangements for along with having to ask my family for help because of the money I’ve been wasting the last two months
Collision Mitigation automatically engaged causing vehicle to brake when unnecessary. Once after excelling from a redlight and again when entering a highway on ramp. After occurring twice in a 6 month period it's now become permanently disabled with dash warnings. Braking System Error. Collision Mitigation Breaking System Error. TPMS Error.
To the highway safety I would like to inform that I purchased a 2018 honda accord and it has been nothing but a nightmare and safety issue for me and my family. What happens is the car at random times will turn on the cmbs system basically when that happens it is hard to brake or even control the car all lights on the dashboard panel light up honda says it’s just bc we the people don’t understand the function and how it works but that is not the case on social media places like websites and ticktock you can see videos of the issues and no one cares how is it okay for honda to sell a car that brakes randomly or tells you to brake when no cars in front or even when there is but it’s a decent speed where you have space please I have read and read news and every time I see a honda I think bet it was a cmbs issue please please have them fix it it’s dangerous . This happens at random times sometimes no cars even on the road when I take it to Honda each time basically all they do is reset it by turning battery of what !!!! That’s dangerous please help
At 53,000, I began getting simultaneous errors light up the dashboard. I code reader indicated I had misfires on cylinder 3. Replaced spark plugs even though the originals are rated to near 100,000 miles. Ended up needing to have fuel injectors replaced by the dealer for $1300. Upon further research, this seems to be a common problem for these 1.5T engines caused by either faulty injectors or engine design. I purchase Honda for reliability and do not expect this kind of issue on a vehicle with that low of mileage. Honda should extend the warranty and offer reimbursement to those affected by this issue.
My car is always hesitating to go , sometimes it will slow considerably down and won’t go , and my engine lights pops on and starts flashing. I have to turn my car off and turn it back on. That’s very dangerous Ive almost been hit like that AND I HAVE TWO KIDS!!!!!

Every week the following warning lights keep coming on, brake System problem, vehicle stability assist, electric power steering system, hill start assist, acc, collision mitigation. And engine light. Has happened 6 times since purchase. Been to dealer 2 times and problem has not been addressed. They only fixed recall on fuel pump. Took it to dealer we purchased it from and they didn't do anything to fix problem.
The fuel pump system in my Honda Accord 2018 Lx failed causing my car engine to turn off while I was driving on the express lane which then caused my car to spin out and slam my backside of the car into the wall. I was driving alone in the car with my seatbelt on and was able to blow my horn to alert other drivers to slow down. The vehicle was only inspected by the policer officer who arrived on scene and took notes of the incident. There was no warning lamps or messages of the problem prior to the failure. I was only cognizant of this fuel pump issue from the recall letter.

Braking system engaged while driving, slamming on brakes for no reason within first 6 months of having purchased my 2018 Honda Accord EX. While driving the car on a normal highway with no cars in front of me, the car suddenly brakes and then the brake releases. The car came to a complete stop for no reason while driving around 55-60mph on the highway with no cars in front of me or to the sides. I couldn't get the brake pedal up off the floor of the car. After about 5 seconds, the brakes finally released, and I was able to drive again. Took car to Princeton, NJ Honda Service Department and they tried to readjust the front facing camera and the radar system. They said that it was misaligned or had been misaligned due to possible damage from a rock kicking up from road. Car was okay for about a week and then was slammed suddenly to hard brake in middle of road while driving again on highway, around 45mphs. Car was bought back to Honda dealership, and the service department solution to problem was to order a new front camera unit and replace the radar unit. New Camera Parts were on backorder, with over a 2 week wait for parts to deliver to dealership. Princeton Honda provided a loaner vehicle while awaiting parts and then repairs. Was without my new car for over 2 and half weeks. Have had no such issues with braking system since replacement and repair of a front camera and radar unit.
The problem first started on 8-8-24 when I cranked up my car & the dashboard lit up with all of these different sensors. I called Leith Honda dealership in Aberdeen, due to that is where I take my car to be serviced at, my customer service rep (Brian) stated to wait to see if they would stay on, because of that type of car will reset itself. So later on, that day they did, go away after driving it a while. Then a sensor popped up on 8-10-24 & stayed on for just a day, then came back off again. I called again & he stated to wait again so that the car can be diagnosed, but it had cut off again. So, a few days had gone by & in the middle of driving on the highway while going 60 mph, all of the same sensors came back on & the car would not go over 40 mph due to one of the main sensors stating "Emission System Problem. Avoid Heavy Acceleration & High Speed. See Your Dealer." Along with my 21MONTH old baby in the car! DANGEROUS! My job (travel CNA) requires me to travel from facility to facility & I need my car to be reliable. The rep said it really sounds like the recall part that is going bad in my car needs to be replaced & until it stays on sticks; there is nothing that can be done. I beg to defer! Is it going to take for me to get into a car accident & jeopardize my daughter & I safety in order for the part to be replaced, after what the recall notification states that can be done while operating the vehicle. Along with the recall stating that they are only willing to replace the part for free if the car is potentially life threating or inoperable. The fact that they are taking their time replacing these parts is dangerous or mindful at all. I love my car, but I am not willing to put my daughter's life, or mine nor anyone else's life in danger by continuing driving this car and still having to pay for it. I deserve for this part & anything else that is affected, due to the part needing to be replaced. Thank you for resolving the issue.
Car lost power when trying to drive and I almost got hit by oncoming traffic. The car was fine and I had full power but all of a sudden without warning I had no power . I shut the car off and it was fine again.The car is at dealer and it turns out it is a bad (blown)head gasket. The service advisor stated it’s a well known problem with the 1.5 liter engine, in fact he, he stated they had six Honda accord 1.5 liter cars at the dealership with the same problem.
yes it is available for inspection. car all of a sudden puts on its brakes could have caused a rear end accident not on my car no they come on and go off randomly it started acting up and then the lights came on
During regular driving, the vehicle engine will stall and lose power, with 9 different warning lights coming on and ALL advanced driver assistance systems becoming disabled, and I believe ABS brakes being disabled as well. This is due to cylinder 3 misfires and the problem is intermittent, but the loss of power can come on randomly and is dangerous on highways as you have to pull over due to the sudden loss of engine power, restart the car, and hope the problem temporarily goes away. The L15BE engine used in 10th gen Accord engines is widely known to have a faulty engine block design leading to EARLY head gasket leaks (see links) which results in misfires and I think it is imperative that Honda issue a recall as thus far, they have been ignoring the pleas of the owners. I am planning on replacing the gasket ($4000 personal mechanic. Honda charges closer to $6000) with aftermarket parts ($400 additional) as replacing them with OEM parts would just allow this to occur again. Please contact me for more details. The youtube video goes into succinct detail of the design issue at hand which is mechanical in nature, however it directly effects driver and transportation safety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=age8_Mi5sEU&list=PLTM0MsUKWXaQEG8lbsVJ99W1TvHbWiAXR&index=5 There are no shortage of people experiencing this and the problem extends to the entire fleet of vehicles using the L15 engine block including CRVs and Civics. https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/blown-head-gasket-any-recall.559243 https://www.reddit.com/r/accord/comments/1ag0fzm/gen_10_head_gasket_failure_update https://www.reddit.com/r/accord/comments/182zdzh/2018_honda_accord_blown_head_gasket https://www.accordxclub.com/threads/2018-honda-accord-sport-1-5-engine-fail.8781/ https://www.reddit.com/r/accord/comments/zn2srz/2018_15t_touring_with_blown_head_gasket_after_4 https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/blown-head-gasket.83781/
My collision mitigation braking system is automatically braking on me with nothing in front of me going high rated speeds on the interstate. I have chronic migraines and neck issues that also have been being treated on a very consistent basis. I brought it in numerous times. I have appointment documents from dealership stating these issues, with no solution. Today it happened again severely and it was harsher than normal, scaring my 3 kids. I have had enough. Winter is coming and I am not gonna challenge black ice again. I have ongoing medical conditions being treated due to the repetitive whiplash.
Car started not wanting to accelerate and all of the dash lights came on, thankfully it was on a rural road and not the freeway. My 20 year old daughter was driving and was so startled by what was happening the she almost went into a ditch getting to the side of the road. Hooked it up to a code machine and it said that it was misfiring so we replaced spark plugs and coils. This happened in July of this year (2024). We took it in for both of the recalls, it was a software update and a fuel pump mount replacement. In between changing plugs and coils and doing the recalls the engine started slightly shaking. The engine shaking was listed as a symptom of the bad fuel pump mount so we thought the fix for the recall would take care of the problem. We got it back after the fuel pump mount recall and it ran great for about 2 weeks. And then the shaking came back. We took it to our local Honda dealership and it turns out that it had blown head gaskets. This is a 2018 Honda Accord that has had all of its oil changes. So it seems to me that something is wrong with some components of the engine. Other than all of the indicator lights coming on the one time we never had and check engine lights come on and the car never overheated or if it did the gages never relayed this information.

two weeks after I purchased this vehicle the electrical system failed causing the car to drive in the ditch, Land Rover of mount Kisco, ny sold me the vehicle, after multiple attempts to find out what was going on with it, it was found that someone had rigged the electrical wiring harness and wrapped it with electrical tape and taped it down causing the electrical system to malfunction, after that was repaired in august 2023 the car veered off the road again this time hitting a speed limit sign the damage was on the side of the vehicle but the vehicle would not move at all and all the lights were on again, the police stated where the damage is on the car it should not had caused the car to do what it was doing after I explained I was just driving along and the vehicle just went its own way, I told the insurance company about the previous issues, they repaired the car and that's it, I got the car back 24 hrs later all the lights came back on the dashboard, they still could not figure it out this was in September of 23, by December 23 the lights came back on the Honda dealership said it was the fuel pump this was because the lights came back on and the car stalled on the interstate almost causing a collision so I had to have it towed to the dealership, I paid $1300 only to find out Honda had a recall the dealership said it was the same part number and advised me to contact Honda for a reimbursement in which Honda has refused to reimburse me after to attempts, as I looked at the recalls on this car this car has had two different recalls on the fuel pump for this vehicle, that was repaired drove the car for 4 weeks the lights came on the dashboard again, I took it back to the dealership they said its the turbo booster, I am convinced the dealership who sold me this vehicle knew this vehicle was not in any condition to be on the road with a family in it, I have asked Honda to buy the car back they have refused, this car cannot be repaired.
On July 4th while driving 60 miles on the highway, my car had a sudden loss of power. I had to pull over to the side of the road and have my car towed back home due to feeling unsafe to drive the vehicle. I went to Auto Zone the next day and the code scanner said misfire cylinder 2. SO I went to a nearby mechanic shop and had them replace the spark plugs and cylinder 2. I was unaware they did not use Honda parts. My car drove a little better but still had issues maintaining speed intermittently. So I paid a different mechanic shop to diagnose my vehicle for $130. They recommended replacing sparks plugs a cylinder to Honda parts. Then also recommended replacing my fuel injectors. I waited on my next step since I did not have funds for those repairs. After picking up the vehicle, all warning lights up on my car daily. A few days later, my 18 year old daughter was driving my car and had a sudden loss of power at night while driving on busy I10. I had her stop and restart vehicle and drive to the next exit to get off the highway and home safely. The next day, I purchased the Honda spark plugs and cylinder and had a a mechanic in our neighborhood install them. he did let me know that that may not be the only issue. I had two more instances where my car would not go more than 10 miles an hour our of a parking lot so I researched recalls and became aware of the fuel pump recall. The next day, I went to Honda dealership and paid $190 to have my vehicle diagnosed. My fuel pump was functioning fine but all 4 fuel injectors were failing. SO I agree to have the seatbelt recall completed and the fuel pump recall installed. Then paid $190 diagnostics plus fuel injectors to be replaced. I had to get a loan from Honda to pay for these repairs as I already paid hundreds trying to figure out correct issue and I still make monthly car payments. The dashboard warning lights have stopped after repairs at Honda My car has been running better but now seems to have a rough idle.
My fuel injectors went bad and my engine shut down while I was on the highway, only allowing me to drive 5mph.
These Accords are an extreme safety hazzard. Experienced an instant loss of power and without any prior warning signs. Once the issue accured the vehicle was impossible to drive putting the vehicle occupants and everyone on the road at risk. Now Honda does not want to fix the problem because they feel that would be an admission of guilt. This is not the first I've heard of this issue with these vehicles and I'm sure it will not be the last please help push these vehicles for a safety recall before more people get hurt.

3 days and 26 miles after picking up my car following the repair for the issue reported in NHTSA issue #11614854, my car again displayed a bunch of various errors on the dashboard and threw P0300, P0301, and P0304 codes via OBDII. I dropped off the car at the dealership and they report that the issue this time is bad fuel injectors. This car has now had 2 major premature powertrain failures before reaching 70k miles that can result in loss of power while operating the vehicle. Losing power on the highway is a serious safety issue so I wanted to report this to the NHTSA for your records.

My head gasket went out while I was driving down the road at around 68425 miles. The result was that the car threw a bunch of error codes and went into limp mode while on the highway. I was fortunately able to pull off into a parking lot due to low traffic at that time of day but it was a major road that is full of vehicles during a busy time of day. This was a safety issue because my car effectively lost power and I was stuck coasting on a road where traffic regularly travels between 45-50+ mph. The head gasket failure was confirmed by the local Honda dealer and was replaced under warranty (certified pre-owned).

My 2018 Honda According Touring 1.5 Liter Turbo has an intermittent problem with the vehicle’s warning alerts. The vehicle systems affected include Adaptive Cruise Control, Vehicle Emission System, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Vehicle Stability Assistance, Hill Start Assist, Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Blind Spot Info System, and Collision Mitigation System. When I checked online for other 2018 Accords with a similar problem and found numerous cases. The most commonly recommended corrective action was to replace the battery. I tried that. It corrected the problem for two months, but the same multiple systems failure displays have occurred again. Interestingly, none of the systems that could be independently checked (e.g., brakes and TPMS) showed any indication of actually malfunctioning. There are multiple cases online, reported by 2018 Accord owners, of receiving different explanations from Honda dealers as to the cause of the malfunction from rodent damage to problems with the turbocharger. Several people reported paying for repairs that did not correct the problem or did so only temporarily.
When driving on the freeway my 2018 honda accord sport stalled with no indication light or anything. My safety and the safety of others was at high risk due to the stall. I was able to restart the engine however i was extremely concerned if this would start a fire.
About two months ago, SRS/Supplmental Restrain light came on. It has been coming on/off. Took to the dealership to check; however at that time the light was off-they did not find anything wrong.

Installed SRS harness tester and found code to go away with SRS harness tool installed. As first step in diagnosis, recommend to replace left side airbag inflator and recheck. "

My 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 turbo (original owner) 77,000 miles. Started having numerous warning lights on dash and vehicle was violently shaken. On several occasions, vehicle had no acceleration over 10mph which caused me to have several close calls on the highway. Took it to Honda dealer and they stated that I had a blown head gasket and the repairs would cost five thousand eight hundred dollars! Unfortunately i have read numerous posts on Honda forums and hundreds of customers with the same vehicle year and model are also reporting the same problems. Honda will not pay for any repairs since it is past warranty. This needs to be upgraded to a recall by Honda, very upset customer!
The car is not starting properly, it takes a couple of tries to start, and the instrument panel lights come on. It appears that the Honda dealership in Doylestown PA does not have the part needed to repair my car and my safety is at risk and I don't feel comfortable driving the car. Can you please advise the dealership's responsibility in providing me a loaner car until the part is available? I have an appointment next week where I will leave the car until the part is available.

My car will suddenly brake hard on its own with nothing in front of it at random times. The dash may or may not say BRAKE when this happens. This did not start until I had my windshield replaced. I have had the windshield camera recalibrated twice and it's still randomly stopping on its own.

Blown head gasket confirmed by dealer.
Bought the vehicle in 2022 with 90k miles on it. Started experience engine issues shortly after. Engine light and ALL the dash lights came on. Changed spark plugs 4x and coils replaced fuel injectors over the years. Still the lights and engine light comes on. Turns out I have a blown head gasket at just 130k miles. Did routine maintenance on it and changed water pump . I’ve never had this many issues with a car and I’m quiete upset. The years of head ache is never ending.
Engine stalled out in the middle of the road immediately after acceleration following a sudden braking event. A car had pulled out in front of my vehicle at an intersection requiring a sudden brake. After the car had passed, a quick acceleration was needed as a car was quickly approaching from behind. It was at this point the engine stalled and the vehicle would not move forward. Pushing the gas pedal would not move the vehicle forward, and the engine was making a noise as the pedal was pushed. The vehicle had to be placed into park, turned off and back on, to get the engine to function and the vehicle to drive again. During this time (at least 1-2 minutes) the vehicle was stalled in the middle of an active highway, representing a significant safety risk. The vehicle was then sent to Honda for a diagnostic and there were no diagnostic codes given and the service center could not replicate the event. Was told this was not related to the active fuel pump recall on this vehicle so "there was nothing they could do" Had to pay out of pocket for the diagnostic. No resolution on this safety issue. More investigation is needed into these vehicles!!

All warning lights came on (check engine, emissions problem, brake problem, tire pressure monitoring system problem, cruise control problem, brake problem, steering wheel problem, and lane keeping assist problem). In addition, sometimes the vehicle will vibrate or shake when first turned on and at times, when braking, the car will shake or vibrate.
On this day at approximately 1:20 p.m. the weather was clear and dry and there was very light traffic with no cars nearby and no debris in the roadway. I was driving approximately 45 mph when my vehicle suddenly flashed and beeped the warning to brake and I felt the car brake hard as it swerved to the left entirely on it's own. I was able to take over the vehicle and thankfully there was no collision or injuries. This was the first time this has happened. My vehicle will be available for inspection upon request. If there had been heavy traffic at the time or had I been on the freeway, the outcome could have been very serious. I looked up what I experienced and there are verified accounts of "Phantom Braking" for 2018-2019 Honda Accords. I did not have the vehicle inspected. There were no warnings prior to the incident.
While driving with nothing surrounding me my car applied a hard brake out of nowhere.

As I was driving in a 25 mph zone (thank goodness) and I drove over the metal construction paver on the road my car brake alert started beeping then made my car come to an abrupt stop! Thank goodness I wasn’t going that fast and no one behind me was close enough to hit me! This sensor needs to be corrected! Someone could have died or been seriously hurt! That should never happen what if I were on the highway going over 50 mph
I am the owner of a 2018 Honda accord purchased from Hillside Honda in Jamaica, NY on February of 2018. In 2021 started to experience issues with my vehicle while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked, loss motive power, switched to limp mode with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle failed to properly accelerate while in limp mode. After stopping the vehicle, the check engine warning light disappeared and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer baron Honda located in Patchogue, NY for a routine oil change, and, to be diagnosed. The dealer informed me that the failure was caused by damage to a fuel injector that would cost approx. $2500 to repair. The dealers diagnosis of the fuel injector issue was incorrect and the dealer later admitted that the fuel injector did not need to be changed. At the time of the dealers initial diagnosis i declined repair of the fuel injector and just received an oil change. My intention was to get a 2nd opinion from another Honda dealership as the vehicle was 3 years old. Due to covid it was difficult to bring my vehicle to another dealer immediately & i would be responsible for the cost of another diagnostic. The failure subsided for a short time but than a few months later the same issue recurred. I then became aware of a recall to the fuel pump to the same make & model vehicle which the manufacturer informed me that my vin # did not match a fuel pump recall. While still experiencing on & off issues with my car relating to limp mode since 2021 I filed 2 cases with American Honda in 2023 & was denied. In December 2023 American Honda finally told me that my vehicle had a known recall to its fuel pump but the parts are in back order. At this time my vehicle still has issues with the engine limp mode that may/may not be related to the recall. I request that Honda remedy the issue. I demand either a full repair of my vehicle engine to resolve the limp mode issue, OR a new vehicle
On February 16th, I visited Walsh Honda in Macon, Georgia, reporting issues with my fuel and car not pulling and acting irregularly. Suspecting bad fuel, I was informed of a safety recall for the fuel pump, which was likely the problem. However, they changed the spark plug instead, charged me for it, and did not address the recall, which has been in place since 2023. They also noted a P303 misfire. The following day, February 17th, I returned for a 100,000-mile check. I spent over $600 on services, including replacing the belt alternator, flushing and draining the coolant, and turning the rotors. On March 18, 2024, the same P303 misfire code appeared. This time Walsh Honda claimed the engine cylinder was cracked and scarred, suggesting a $7,000 engine replacement, despite the fuel pump recall. They insisted on the engine repair instead of addressing the fuel pump recall. In April, I was involved in a rear-end collision and, as a had my car at Five Star Collision in Warner Robins for two months. I got the car back on May 31st, but it continued to act erratically, running hot and not pulling properly. In July 2024, I took the car to Hughes Honda in Warner Robins, Georgia who refused to fix the fuel pump despite the recall, I was told that, that is not the code for a new engine pump. That I would need to pay $6000 for the codes that was put in initially by Walsh in Macon, Ga. citing the need for head gaskets and injectors. They demanded this repair before addressing the fuel pump recall. This pattern of ignoring the fuel pump recall and pushing expensive repairs is troubling and seems to prioritize profit over safety. This is how the common man and woman get screwed by doing the right thing. Being that I am 100% Disabled Veteran I am very disappointed with treatment I received from both Honda dealerships. I wish for not another veteran, man or woman go through the disrespect I received.
Water/ mist leaking into head lights and tail lights after a car wash. Front driver side headlight was not working and had to replace. Until replacing the part it might impact other turn signaling. FYI: have to replace whole unit as its LED and cannot just change bulb/ LED strip. There was a crash happened to the driver side more than an year and was into car wash's (or) car was in the rain with no impacts more than an year,. Replacing with Honda dealer costs around $700 for a headlight on each side.

Called for the recall (dated Feb 2024) and was told that Honda is not releasing replacement parts until some time in the fall - it's only mid July now. The failure of the part could cause the car to stall out suddenly while driving, increasing risk of a crash or injury (as stated in the recall notice). Online states they are not addressing the recall unless the vehicle has an issue. This, is NOT acceptable. If it stalls out while my daughter is driving it and anything happens to her, Honda had better be prepared for a huge lawsuit and some very bad press since they are knowingly putting anyone driving a vehicle under recall at risk for death, as is this agency that is allowing it to ignore a known recall. I will inform our insurance company of the issue as well.

My car will randomly brake. This has happened multiple times while driving on the interstate. I will be driving 76 mph and the emergency braking system will brake when there is nothing in front of me. It’s scary going from 75mph to slamming on the brakes. Happened probably 10 times since I bought the car 2 years ago. Several times almost caused the people in back of me to hit me

My vehicle head engine gasket blow while driving on the highway. I was on the far left side of the highway near brick side wall and had to find a way to get to the right shoulder of the highway while in coming car passed by. I’m just upset cause I kept telling Honda dealership something was wrong with my engine every time I went in for a oil change for the past 2 years and they ignored my concern and told me nothing was wrong. I just can’t believe Honda a trusted automotive company would have this type of issue without having a recall available for their customers. And I read into the issue and I’m not the only person with this issue. That’s not right at all. They need to do better

The contact declined to pay for the repair and advised the dealer to perform the recall repair prior to other repairs because the vehicle was experiencing the symptoms of the recall. Additionally, the contact stated that the recall notification advised to take the vehicle to the dealer for recall repair if the vehicle was experiencing the symptoms of the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
After a few weeks of owning my 2018 Honda accord-Sport driving along the road my car hesitated and acted as if it didn't want to continue driving. I had to pull over to the side of the road to turn the car completely off and back on for the car to regain energy (power) to drive. Every light on the dash is on from the check engine light, brake system, check emission system, road assistance, tire system and do not turn off. I had the fuel injectors cleaned because that was the code that came back for the issue and the car is storing the same code. It was a temporary fix because the lights have been on and off for a whole year now. I cannot get the issue fix because the parts have been on and off back order for the whole year I have owned this car. My car is running harder and hesitating a lot more and I do not get the same average milage on gas anymore. I normally fill up once a week and do the same amount of driving, but my gas is no longer lasting me the week it used to. The fuel injectors seem to be a common issue with these cars especially with the parts on back order for this long intensive time period. I am scared my car will not be drivable in the near future on the symptoms it is now displaying. My car is available at any time for an inspection. I'm very surprised this issue is not a recall on the hazard it is driving, and the car could hesitate or not proceed to go when in traffic which could lead to terrible safety hazards. Every light is on that could possibly be wrong on the dash. I have taken this vehicle to Honda dealerships and 3rd party mechanic shops.
I was driving on [XXX] when my sunroof glass exploded. I was not around any other cars when this incident happened. Thankfully I had my sunroof visor closed. Had it not been for that; glass would have poured all over me and possibly caused me to have a bad wreck or worse; lose my life. I filed a claim that same day with my insurance company, only to get the run around and be told that they possibly won’t cover it due to they deeming it a mechanical failure. I was not operating the sunroof at all at the time of the incident so there was no mechanical failure. I had full insurance coverage at the time of the incident. I have sent in pictures and a full description to my insurance adjuster. The car itself has not been inspected by anyone other than myself. I would like this matter resolved immediately.

2018 Honda Accord Twice last week my car suddenly braked with no obstruction in front of the vehicle. I was on a straight section of the roadway. Thankfully no one was directly behiind me. It appears there have been other incidences reported.

The car began having problems approximately 6 months ago. The problems would happen for a week and then stop occurring. The car slows completely down to 5 mph while on the highway, causing traffic to swerve to miss causing an accident. We have received a few letters stating that the fuel pump recall was active for our vehicle with a complete description of what was going on with our car. We got a letter stating that minimal fuel pumps are available, so contact your Honda dealership ONLY if your car is currently showing signs. We waited until it started showing signs again. This week it started again. We called and set up an appointment for July 3, 2024, but today the car lost power every time it was driven with near accidents occurring many times. The car was taken to the Columbia MO Honda dealership. They tried to charge $69 to look at the car after we told them about the recall. We refused to pay, they looked at the car and said it was several different things other than the recall, acting like they were unsure of the reason for the inoperable car. Nothing was fixed. We left the dealership, and the car will not go over 5 mph so it is parked 40 miles from our home. This car is the office of the owner, and this is very disheartening. We called the Honda Automobile Service Center and after hearing there was nothing they could do. I became upset telling them, “I guess I will need to get a lawyer or when the car causes a collision and death, I will be suing Honda.” She then offered to set up a case, but I would be added to a workload and who knows when we will get a call. She also said that when our July 3 appointment comes, they will still need to diagnose the car and order the part. We need a safe vehicle NOW. All warning lights come on when this occurs.
my car has been severely malfunctioning due to the fuel pump recall. I have had to avoid several accidents due to the loss of power at high speeds, stalling, and sputtering. My car started experiencing these issues last December and I was told by Honda to take it in to be diagnosed (which I did), and then I was told there was no fix or parts at that time because it was due to a faulty fuel pump. I parked the car and I had to find rides to work until I was unable to, so I had to start back driving the vehicle. The issue became severe again about a week ago. My car completely stalled and would not accelerate at all at a traffic light. I proceeded to turn on my hazards and call for assistance while turning the car off. Eventually the car was able to be moved after about 20 mins of being powered off. Luckily, I wasn't far from my home, I turned on the hazards and slowly made it home and parked the car. I'm currently afraid to continue to drive the vehicle because of safety concerns for myself as well as other drivers on the road. My car stalls, shuts off, will not start back up, and sputters, and all of the lights on the dash are on. The first incident I was almost hit by another driver because of the loss of power. I have reached how to Honda several of times and had the car diagnosed and done everything I was asked to do but I am still being given the "run around" and they do not seem to be making this a priority matter. This is my only car, and it has been a major inconvenience for me as well as been very unsafe for me to operate my vehicle and I still do not feel they have any plans to resolve this matter anytime soon.

Fuel Injectors had to be replaced, and the vehicle only 54,084 miles. Vehicles with the same engine, made by Honda, are being recalled. Furthermore, I have seen recalls for the 2018-2020 Honda Accord being recalled, but my VIN does not acknowledge this recall. I was at a stoplight, and turning right on when the car lost power and went into limp mode. Fortunately, there was no one coming (On a fairly busy street) when I made the turn. I pulled to the side, and turned the car off, and started it again. I was driving less than a mile to my next workplace when this incident happened. After my work shift was done I turned on the car and lit up like a Christmas tree (The mechanics words when he saw the dashboard). I held my breath to get the car to the dealership (Around 10 miles away). The following "lit up" on the car: 1. Electric Power Steering System Problem. Steering Assist Reduced. See your dealer. 2. Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem. See your dealer. 3. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem. See your dealer. 4. Emission System Problem. Avoid Heavy Acceleration and high speed. See your dealer. 5. Tire Pressure Low 6. Brake System Problem. Brake Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. 7. Brake Hold System Problem. Apply Brake when stopped. See your dealer. 8. Vehicle Stability Assist System Problem. Reduced traction and handling. See your dealer. 9. Hill start assist problem. Vehicle may roll upon brake release. See your dealer. 10. Collision Mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer.
Head gasket and fuel injector. Causing stalling of the vehicle. Over heating. Have almost been hit with my kids in the car from stalling. Honda has confirmed this and the car has only 125k miles. This is COMMON in this car and should be recalled before someone is killed. In this economy who can afford 5500 dollars on a car that isn’t old to fix? I have driven all my past vehicles into 200k miles and never had these issues and have taken much better care of this car.
A loud clicking/knocking noise that sounds dangerous while steering the vehicle at low speed; such as turning into a parking spot or making a u-turn. The noise occurs throughout the day but is not constant. My vehicle has been inspected several times and Honda claims to not hear this loud noise. As soon as I drive away I hear it and all of my passengers hear it. This noise started at the beginning of 2023.

When turning and there is a slip in the Vehicle Stability Assist, it results in shut off and warning of multiple features, including: adaptive cruise control, hill start assist, tire pressure monitoring system, brake system, electric power steering, vehicle power steering, collision mitigation braking system, and road departure mitigation. The issue has happened randomly (~8 times now, the most recent being 6/15/24), the first being less than one year after I bought the car new in 2018. It turns off after I turn off and start the car again. I have spoken to the dealer and reached out to the warranty provider, but because the car does not display the error message when I go there, the dealer refuses to look at the car. My guess is that it may be an issue with an ECU or the differential, as it results in the failure of many systems.

When the vehicle in front of me slows down significantly, my Accord will flash the automatic brake warning and come to a complete stop. Once stopped the vehicle does not accelerate for a few moments. Several times I’ve pressed the acceleration pedal to the floor with no acceleration, the vehicle in front of me long all while watching cars swerve behind me to not rear end me. The several times this has happened the vehicle has left me completely stopped in heavy traffic, the middle of an intersection, or lastly an empty road as the vehicle stopped for a median…

Honda dealership still does not have the fuel pump materials to complete the recall repair.
Drove to work, about 35 miles. Few hours later went to leave to get a cup of coffee, started car and ALL lights came on dash and seems like every feature cycled through indicated nonfunctional. Drove to dealership, head gasket leak and piston misfiring, $4200. Car is a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L with 62000 miles. Seems strange to have such an extensive issue with a honda with such low miles. Can you investigate. Thanks
Due to the fuel pump module recall by Honda, I took my 2018 Honda Accord to Stevenson Hendricks Honda located in Wilmington, NC on [XXX]. Stevenson Hendricks Honda refused to replace my fuel pump module claiming that my car head gasket was blown which isn't true. I had a mechanic to verify the head gasket wasn't blown. Prior to going to the dealer, I contacted Honda Foundation at 1-800 999-1009 who instructed Stevenson Hendricks to replace fuel pump module, and not to charge me like they told me when I made my [XXX] appointment. Stevenson Hendricks Honda needs to be held accountable to replace the fuel pump module on my car as required by the Honda recall notice I received in the mail.

The backup camera has discoloration, and it is permanent, not temporary.
Vehicle continues to jerk, stall, and goes into lymph mode. Vehicle stall in flow of traffic which can cause a major accident. The problem has not been confirmed by dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by dealer. Independent Mechanic states engine stalls under a load. Warning lights that appear are emission system problem, brake system failure, electric power steering problem, engine light, brake system. This began about a month ago only worsening. It occurs upon acceleration. Vehicle has been put in shop. Changed coil pack, spark plugs, injectors. Still that does not solve problem.

I got a blown head gasket to cynlinder #3 at under 100k miles. I maintain it regularly as needed by use of the maintenance minder. Never got any indication of engine troubles before. On doing some research this seems to be a common problem for this make and model and seems to be a possible defect. The repair was $4300 to repair the head gasket.

2018 Honda vehicle Head Gasket failure and Fuel pump failure were detected by New Jersey Park Ridge local service and New Jersey Tenaflay Honda service. All panel lights in my vehicle are on. Problems I experienced included intermittent stalling or loss of power, no gas flow. However, what scared me the most was that while driving at normal speed, the engine lost all its power and stopped taking gas, and our vehicle shook. Our vehicle stopped automatically by cutting off the gas flow on the road. Luckily there weren't too many cars behind us, which allowed us to move to the side of the road. I had my family and children in our car. This could have had much worse consequences. Within the scope of the 2018 Honda recall, no recall request has been received for my vehicle yet. However, as a result of the major problems experienced, I request that this security problem be resolved for my vehicle, which should be in the recall program. My vehicle is currently in service, and I cannot use it in any way.
The vehicle is stalling while driving to a point where on the freeway it slows down to 10 miles per hour to all of the sudden have all the emergency lights on that come to a sudden stop. I have called 3 different Honda dealers, they said that they need to check what is wrong with the car first making it clear that there is a fee of $220. My daughter has been driving the vehicle in very unsafe conditions. On Friday [XXX] we were on our way to Oakland from the Ventura County (I was the passenger) and in less than an hour driving the car started stalling to come to a sudden stop on the freeway. I took the vehicle to the Ocean Honda dealership the following week driving forcefully the car at 20-30 miles because we could not afford another trip on the towing truck. The service person drove the car from the parking lot to the front of the service office (less than 50 ft) and the lady said the car was in perfect condition and not one emergency light was on! I shared with them images of all the emergency lights were on in the vehicle and as well as at least 4 codes. We left the car and then they called me to notify that there was an issue with the injectors and that the vehicle was still under warranty for those parts because it is under 70,000 miles. The next day the vehicle was given back to me. I asked about the replacement of the gas pump, and they said because the vehicle is not having any issues it cannot be replaced. That night the car stopped on the freeway, I took it back and now they said it was the spark plugs. I decided to take the vehicle to a different dealership. Now at DCH Honda today the injectors were replaced and the car still stalling and stopping. They recommend replacing the spark plugs ($350 they will charge) and I told them I will take it to my mechanic. They said, "but you know the car is not fixed even if they replace them". I said you are telling me this safety issue is that so what is it? Nobody willing to change the GAS PUMP! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Head Gasket Failure diagnosed by Honda city in New York. The purpose of the diagnostic was to address what I believed to be issues related to the ongoing Fuel Pump recall, as discussed with an American Honda representative prior to my visit. The symptoms I had been experiencing included intermittent stalling or loss of power, what prompted me to reach out immediately was an instance on a highway where the engine lost all power, prompting us to pull over to the side of the road, This could have been a much worse outcome. Additionally, I have noticed occasional trembling upon startup. Per the Service department the conclusion of the diagnostic was that the coolant was low due to washing the piston heads and cylinder walls and ultimately the head gasket needed to be replaced along with spark plugs.The total costs for these services amount to about $4,800. To provide further context, the coolant was last replaced on [XXX] 2024. The first issues began to arise in mid-February when the digital gauge displayed at least 8 warnings across various systems. [XXX], 2024 the car was brought in for more maintenance and further investigation into the warnings. Nothing came about here as the issue couldn't be reproduced and no action was taken. I feel as though there was nothing more I could have done to prevent this situation. The car has a pristine maintenance record and has just over 42,000 miles after a little over 5 years of ownership , an average of 15-20 miles a day. After researching on my own, Ive found this to be much more common issue for the 2018 1.5 accords along with other models.

I contacted a Nissan dealer regarding a repair matter concerning a safety recall for the fuel pump module. It seems that the vehicle is encountering stalling issues, which could potentially increase the likelihood of accidents or injuries, potentially resulting in fatalities. I was informed that Honda does not currently have the necessary part and regrettably, they are unable to schedule the repair until August. There were no indications or alerts before the failure occurred. This is my primary mode of transportation.

I keep intermittently getting a Supplemental Restraint System error. I have been on forums with other vehicle owners getting the same error. The dealer says it is a bad airbag while others are saying it could be two other less expensive remedies they have encountered such as a faulty cutoff indicator that gets overheated and the solders come loose as well as a faulty seatbelt buckle assembly. This is not a constant issue, it is intermittent and feel if the airbag was faulty it would be a constant error.

While accelerating on the highway my car suddenly hesitated and I lost power. At the same time the check engine light came on. By the time I was safely able to pull over to the side of the road a plethora of warning lights had come on. Luckily I was not far from home and I was eventually able to make it back to the house safely with only mild hesitation. The car is currently at the dealership and they've let me know it's an issue with the fuel injector (P0303 misfire). After reading online it seems as though many folks with 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 are/have been having the same problem. This is a known issue and a recall is needed as it seriously puts lives at risk. It is only by the grace of fate that there weren't any cars behind nor to the side of me at the time of the major hesitation. My car has less than 75k miles on it so this issue is not due to wear and tear.

Vehicle stalls upon start on multiple occasions. Vehicle will not start at all on multiple occasions. On approximately February 2024 vehicle sent a warning signal while driving. Warning states vehicle cannot accelerate while driving on the highway, then vehicle slows under traffic speed causing fear of crash while on the highway causing me to pull over and restart vehicle. After restart, vehicle stalled again. Children were present in the vehicle. Called dealer to inform about the issue and was made aware of recall on fuel pump. Dealer does not have parts and will not have parts for recall for months. Called dealers near me periodically over the course of months. All local dealers reported parts will not be available for ongoing months.
Rear backup camera color distortion. Unable to see clearly to back up. I understand that there was a recall for defective cameras for some 2018 Accords but my Vin number isn’t one of them. Don’t know why. I only have 41000 miles on my 2018 Accord, and the backup camera is dead. Should have been recalled.

While riding down the interstate the automatic braking system slammed on the brakes. There was a semi truck in the lane beside me and for some reason it just applied the brakes and flashed the automatic brake warning sign while using the cruise control. I quickly hit the cancel button on the steering wheel to stop the braking. My lane was completely clear when this occurred. This is not the first time that this has happened. The last time this happened there was no one close to me and the same thing happened.

All warning systems triggered, repeatedly, over the past year. Honda dealership misdiagnosed as a fuel injector. Had fuel injector replaced, but same issue occurred and this time all warnings came on and vehicle lost power on highway with my baby daughter inside. So, after spending thousands attempting to resolve the issue, I towed again to Honda and it was correctly diagnosed as a failed head gasket requiring $5.5K to repair. Service advisor said he's seen "many of these" recently. Called around Tampa and all mechanics advise (consistent with numerous complaints online car communities) failed head gasket is a known and common safety issue (to the extent that parts are on backorder as a result of repairs). Called American Honda Corporation and they led me to believe they would repair, but after an hour of wasting my time, and repeated requests to hold so agent could speak with supervisor, agent then said repeatedly "there is nothing we can do for you." This abject safety failure and demonstrated bad faith should not be allowed by regulators who have a duty to mandate that auto manufacturers do the right thing and issue safety recalls for known issues such as the head gasket failure I have experienced.
Honda recall letter received February 2024, stating that car's fuel pump is defective, and will be replaced as part of the recall. It is now mid-May, four months later, and local Honda dealer has no idea when the fuel pump will be available. Meanwhile we feel unsafe driving this car. This is a very big problem for us.

There are a lot of boxes it would not let me check. Started 2020. For no apparent reason the car will just lose all power and all the warning lights will go on. Some times it will just automatically break. Luckily the times it's happened I was city driving but had I been on freeway when it happened may have been dealt for myself and others. Car continues to have same problem, with losing power,all warning lights and breaks. If the 10amp fuse is out it does it. As you can see I've taken numerous times and paid lots of money. I was only aware of 2 recalls and would like to know about the others. I have a lot more to say.

The lights on my dashboard keep turning on. I have informed the dealership that my vehicle has a recall but they say that is not the issue. I informed them they have to fix it because of the recall and they said my pump is fine. That it’s the injectors.

I’ve owned this car for almost 6 years now and one day out of nowhere all warning lights on this car came on and the car can barely drive up to 10 MPH. The car won’t go past 10 MPH. Engine light, cruise control and every single warning light were showing on the dashboard. I ended up paying huge amount to get it fix and on top of that I was not able to go to work.

During drives I feel my vehicle stalling out as I push on the gas pedal. This occurs randomly and I'm sure the fuel/pump needs to be replaced soon. I've even experienced the engine to shake and a few times it has not started. I regularly drive this vehicle and I have been trying to get the part replaced since the recall was submitted. This is unsafe for my wife and kids as well as myself.
I purchased the vehicle 1/21. I only took my car to Midland Honda to do all repairs. The last repair I paid them for was a tuneup June 2023. I paid them $1082.90 for the service. October 2023 my car started to do the same thing it did back in June for the tune up. So this time I took the car to AutoZone because the check engine light came on. It showed that it was a misfire. They said the car should not be doing that and that I needed to return it back to the dealership which idea they did a check on the car I was being told it was a fuel pump issue. I asked them if there would’ve been any notification prior because based on all of the oil changes and anything maintenance that I had them to do they never inform me of anything of a repair that would’ve required that , I did some research and so that’s some family members male family members, and they inform me that there was a recall for the fuel system None of my documentation from Honda said anything about any other major issue and that I would not be having any problems they also inform me that the price for the fuel filter would be $1700 to have it replaced. I then took the car for another appointment at another Honda dealership in my area, they perform the same check. They’re all ASE certified mechanics assuming they all use the same diagnostic device. The other dealership never said anything to me about the fuel system. They only inform me of the antilock brake system, which was puzzling to me because Advance had already told me, it was a misfire for the spark plugs we looked at the spark plugs, the spark plugs from what they said does not look like what a spark plug should look like that has been putting in a calm that was just replaced in June , I contacted the Honda Dealership manufacturing company back in December and was told then that there was a recall for the fuel system. I’m not sure what the issue is because last not last month March I took the car to another Honda and was told it was a blown Head gas
I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve taken the car to several other places to find out that the repair guys are at each and everyone as if they know that my car is going to be there is very scary is very creepy. Every last one of them works or worked for the dealership that I purchased the car and had repairs done, my car has been keyed in operable. I’m having issues with getting it repaired to find out what the repair is. I’m getting the runaround. I’m buying parts and services for things and I’m still not figuring out what’s wrong with the car at this point I feel like I’m being targeted. I would like to know the name I have filed complaints. I’ve spoken to Jackie and she has not contacted me back or any of the people , that works at the Honda manufacture I can provide your proof I have some unknown trusted credentials that are popping up. I’m not sure if all of this happened after they did the TV broadcasting thing back in October, but I am very much aware that there’s something going on and I am unable to figure it out and these people that work at the dealership are not wanting to fix the problem because I’ve already filed several complaints with them, I just wanna get my car fixed or at least know what’s wrong with it
To whom it may concern, I understand there is an investigation on leaking timing chain/pully cover. My vehicle has this issue. Is it covered by a recall? Please advise.

I Lost all system brake system tpms vehicle stability electric power steering hill start adaptive cruise control collision mitigation road departure Emission system problem. Check engine code that keeps popping out is P0301 have changed injectors and coil packs and have done further research on vehicle there are a lot of people stating they are a bad batch of injector and I have looked up to buy the injector and are unavailable. I believe the injector are bad and causing multiple check engine to pop up and further increasing the possibility of a crash or accident.
I have 2018 Honda accord sport 2.0 manual transmission. I’m dealing with the ABS module malfunction where the abs module board is detective due to the pins being unsoldered due to intense heat in the engine area. To repair the ABS module it costs around $1200. But Honda has not made the abs module better. Mechanic states even the new module will not be guaranteed after replacing the module. I need help to get this item recalled. As this issue has been going on for any Honda from 2011-2022 veichels.
My 2018 Honda Accord began malfunctioning on [XXX]. It completely stalled out and all of the warning lights came on. The vehicle was being driven and began to shudder upon acceleration at just 15 mph. The vehicle ended up seizing and lost all acceleration capabilities. The vehicle was able to be pulled over at idle speed and had trouble starting. once I got the car to start, I was able to drive the vehicle into a safe parking lot but only at idle speed as the acceleration was not functioning. I had received the fuel pump recall and had the car towed to Brandon Honda in Brandon FL, and they determined it was not a fuel pump failure but a blown head gasket. I also received a second opinion that confirmed this diagnosis and determined the issue to be the blown head gasket causing coolant to mix with my oil and leak into spark plugs causing spark plug 3 to fail as well. Upon replacement of the spark plug, the car functions once again with acceleration capabilities, however, to prevent any further damage, I had the car towed back to my place of residence. Upon further investigation, I am finding more people experiencing this issue with their new Honda Accords as well. The head gasket should not fail this early on in owning this vehicle especially being the only owner of this vehicle and only 130k miles. I have always kept up with coolant levels, and oil changes, and used the recommended octane by Honda, 87. Repair still has not been made as I am exploring all of my options, however, if this malfunction had happened on the interstate, it could have been fatal.

This has caused my car to stall while driving. It's causing sputtering and other issues. All lights come on the dash at times also. I've been told by the dealer the parts are ordered for this recall, and now I'm finding that there are NO PARTS for this recall. I have a three year old son and cannot afford to have it stall with him.
As I was driving down the street, the Automatic Emergency Braking system was activated and brought my vehicle to a complete stop! There was no vehicle directly in front of me and it almost caused the vehicle behind me to slam into me had they not veered into the other lane of traffice to avoid rear-ending me. I could have easliy been rear-ended and injured and/or caused several accidents as a result of this. The AEB sytem has activated before with no apparent reason, but this was the first time it actually came to a complete stop. Fortunately, I was not on the highway at much higher speeds as this could have had serious and possible deadly consequences. There have no been warnings or indicators previous to this incident that would have alerted me that there may be some type of issue with this system.

When the adaptive cruise control is engaged there are times that the vehicle will brake by itself when there is no vehicle in front of me. I drive 52 miles one way to work and then home daily. This happens at least once almost every time that it is used. As for the blind spot warning it randomly will go on and off saying an object is near especially when parked at red lights with none of the vehicles moving around me.

I was stopped at a light and was the first vehicle. When it turned green I started to go. I saw a short ways in front of me one of those metal plates over a hole in the road. I started to coast from 20 mph with the anticipation I would be at 10 mph when I got to it. Just before I would go over it the emergency brake system kicked in and took the vehicle to a stop. I tried to make it go by stepping on the gas but it came to a complete stop. I am thankful the vehicle behind me did not hit me.
The back up camera is only showing the lines with a black screen.
The lane departure warning activated when centered in a lane with clearly marked lines on the road and the steering wheel started pulling me out of the lane on a major highway. Within 5 seconds of the initial warning a follow up warning saying "Road Departure" appears and the car initiated automatic breaking in the middle of a highway. There are not other cars around me at the time of the incident, but this could have caused a major accident as my car slammed on the breaks at 55 MPH. At no time did the car leave the lane despite the warnings. I reported this to the dealership and was told they would look into this if it happened again.
Occasional braking when there is no reason for the car to brake
I saw an article that this was being investigated, and I’ve experienced the same issue multiple times. I will be driving on the highway with no car directly in front of me and every so often my car automatically emergency brakes as if there is a vehicle in front of me that I’m about to hit. This happened to me again just the other day.

The car has 73,820 miles on it. Flashing check engine light came on, stalling, unable to drive the car over 10 MPH, lucky I was around my house. If this would have happened on the freeway, I would probably get into a bad accident. Towed it to local Honda Dealership, came back as fuel injector problem (one of the cylinder was misfiring). After reading online posts of other owners & no coolant in the reservoir, I asked them to check the head gasket because a lot of complains about this problem. The dealer ship replaced the head gasket but not the fuel injectors after I asked them to double check the fuel injectors, but they insisted that only the head gasket was the only problem. After a week and a half, I went and tried to pick up my car. Before I was able to drive it off the lot, check engine light came back as one of the cylinders was misfiring again. To this day, I am still without my car. Now thinking about whole situation, we experienced some engine shaking when the engine first started. But it ran fine after a little bit, so we did not think anything of it. Good Will program of Honda will pick up the repair cost, my portion is $900.00 as deductible.
I work at a dealership. we have sold 2 2018 Honda accords where all the lights have popped on the dash multiple times. the first one went to the Honda dealer for a diagnostic and came back with fuel injector issues. after replaced, it went back and was told there was a blown head gasket and turbo. the second accord went to a different Honda dealer for a diag and once again was told it was a blown head gasket and turbo. after researching this issue I've found it is a common issue which starts with a misfire, all lights on the dash, and fuel injectors. no one has had any blown head gasket signs as the car overheating or coolant mixed with oil. we have received a third 2018 accord which arrived with a misfire. we have changed spark plugs 4 times as well as the coils. when starting the car it shakes aggressively as if it wants to stall and all the lights keep popping on the dash - the same signs as the previous vehicles. taking it to the dealer for a diagnosis and either it comes back with injectors - which will eventually lead to the head gasket, or straight into the head gasket being blown. there needs to be a recall at least so we are not wasting time and money with all these diagnostics and repairs.
Fuel injectors went out not even a year of having my vehicle… and it cause electrical problems in the car where you can’t use and car features…. There is so many reports there needs to be a recall review
I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the ongoing electrical issues plaguing my 2018 Honda Accord, VIN: [XXX] ]. Since the initial purchase of the vehicle, I have experienced recurring problems with dashboard lights illuminating unexpectedly, indicating underlying electrical malfunctions. In an attempt to rectify these issues, I have diligently brought the vehicle to authorized Honda service centers on multiple occasions. Despite their efforts, including the replacement of the electrical wiring harness in 2023, the problem persists unabated. Despite extensive diagnostics and repair attempts, the root cause of the issue remains unresolved, leading to significant inconvenience and frustration. Moreover, during one service visit, Honda service personnel erroneously diagnosed a faulty gas pump, resulting in an unnecessary replacement at my expense totaling $1375.00. It is pertinent to note that Honda was already aware of a recall affecting my vehicle, yet failed to rectify the issue under the recall and instead charged me for the repair. Subsequent attempts to seek full reimbursement for this unjust expense were rebuffed by Honda corporate, citing the partial financing of the repairs as a justification for their refusal. To compound matters, on Saturday, [XXX], I once again encountered a recurrence of the dashboard lights issue, signaling a persistent and unresolved defect within the vehicle's electrical system. This ongoing issue has severely compromised the safety, reliability, and enjoyment of my vehicle ownership experience. I am at a loss for further recourse and demand immediate action to address and rectify these persistent electrical issues with my 2018 Honda Accord. I expect Honda to honor its commitment to customer satisfaction and take decisive steps to remedy this situation promptly and comprehensively.

Over the past two weeks, I have encountered problems with my car's many lights. These issues have been related to issues with the braking system, collisions, road departure, emission system, ACC system, vehicle stability, and electric power system. By disconnecting the battery, the lights have been switched off. My car can only be operated in this manner.) The automobile would not go faster, and I was stuck in traffic, endangering my safety. There might have been an accident if someone had been speeding. This had happened before, and when I called the Honda store in Milledgeville, Georgia, to report the problem, they said they were unable to locate a problem because the lights had vanished. Yes, Butler Honda in Milledgeville reported that they were unable to locate a problem. The mechanic informed me that it was OK to drive even if the car had lights on because they couldn't use the car today. However, a few days later, the lights had vanished once more. It occurred approximately once in July 2023, twice in December 2023, once in March 2024, and once in April 2024. Before the several lights, there was no warning light.
On March 14 2024 my fuel Injector failed. Took it to the dealer to get then fix. Currently getting a loss of mpg but car is running good
My issues started end of December 2023, where my car would all of a sudden stop, and this happened to me on a highway at a speed of 70mph in Houston, which is a very serious safety issue. After this happened, I got this checked out at Honda dealership, they informed that this happened because of an outstanding recall for fuel pump and told me to wait till Feb 2024 when I will receive a recall letter and parts will be Ava by March 2024. By the time Feb came, I got a letter and it says that it will be available in Fall of 2024, that is almost entire year of 2024. Dealership said they can’t do anything and told me to reach out of corporate Honda, following their advice I filed a complaint to Honda corporate and when then finally got back to me, they told me Honda corporate can’t do anything and I will have to wait till fall 2024. I informed them that it is a safety issue and that it is effecting my job, because I am currently car less, I have to ask around to different family members to borrow their car, this is effect negatively to my livelihood; financially and mentally and Honda do not care. Now I will be out of a car for 9-10 months and I am still making payments for the car and car insurance. I also lost my job just yesterday because of this. You guys are my last option, I do not know what else I can do from my end, I need my car to be fixed so I can do support myself financially.

took my vehicle to honda for emissions check engine light, dealer troubleshoot and said i need my injectors replaced my vehicle has 74k miles
All lights were on : Brake System, Emmision Control, Engine, See Dealer. Would not accelerate correctly. Sometimes would not start. Replaced spark plugs in January and also New Battery problem went away until 3/20/24. Got worse. Put oil and coolant in. Started up and lights went off but engine light came off and on. Towed to Elk Grove Honda. They said they wanted to test for coolant leaks in engine. So replaced spark plugs and did test. Leaked so they said I needed a Replaced Head gasket. This car only has 81,113 miles on it. I have researched that alot of 2018-2021 Honda Accords 1.5L are having the same issue.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the emissions warning light illuminated. In addition, the steering, the brakes, and the navigation features were all inoperable. The contact stated that a warning light illuminated with instructions to take the vehicle to the dealer for service immediately. Additionally, when the emissions warning light was illuminated, the oil became dirty quicker, and the fuel usage increased. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken to the dealer several times and was reset. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.
With only 99,000 miles on my 2018 1.5L 4 cyl Accord, the electrical part of the fuel injectors is beginning to fail. This has caused misfires in multiple cylinders. My safety was put at risk because when the misfires occur the engine has stumbled and all warning icons light up and the warning messages for all systems come on. When this happens the adaptive cruise control (ACC) stops working and the low tire pressure icon is always lit even though the tires have not lost pressure. ACC is a safety system and I will have no warning if a tire develops a leak. This could cause an accident at highway speeds. Moreover, the stumbling could result in an unexpected rapid slowdown at highway speeds. I have taken the car to an independent shop that reproduced the condition and believes the fuel injectors are failing. I called the local Honda service that confirms the injectors are failing. There were no indications of the condition prior to the warning lights coming on. From an internet search failing injectors below 100,000 miles appear to be a common problem with 2017-18 Honda 1.5L engines as I found numerous references to 2017-18 Honda 1.5L injector failure on Honda owner boards.
2018 Accord consistently has the warning pop up for the the crash mitigation system and tells me to visit the dealer. Cruise control just stop working while driving. When I turn the car off and back on it resets, and then 10-20 miles goes by and the error pops up again. Incredibly unreliable and unsafe when I’m on the freeway going 70. This has been a constant problem.

Instrument cluster lights up with the following warnings: road departure mitigation,brake system,vehicle stability assist,ACC,collision mitigation,Emission system problem, electric power steering, hill assist,brake system hold. OBD2 codes are: PO301,PO301.Dealer diagnosed problem and solution as: replace Fuel Injectors.Car with 50,000 miles run fine. Idiot lights are out of control.
The car goes into limp mode and will not go past 20 miles per hour. I recently took my Honda Accord Sport 1.5 to get checked out because all the lights came on the dashboard and it was rough shaking starting the car that eventually subsides, idles fine, and drives fine. When on the highway, trying to accelerate to high speeds, the car will start having a rough start to accelerate. I took it to two dealerships, and they said there's nothing they can do because the codes are not showing what the exact issue is and suggested that I change my spark plugs and fuel injectors (which was already done at around 60,000 miles). Utter disappointment in this vehicle.
Blown head gasket.Car is hesitating/ jerking. Dealership wants 7k to get it fixed.
I have a 2018 honda accord. I have had issues with it breaking and nothing being there. It has cause me to almost get rear ended several times and I find it to be a huge safety hazard. I will be driving down an open road and nothing will be in front of me. My car will randomly slam on the breaks and it scares me terribly. This has happened quite a few times now. At first I thought it was a fluke but it has continued to happen and is becoming a major issue.
Automatic emergency braking occurred three different times for no apparent reason. The car slowed down on a major road. I never reported it. No. A large orange message "BRAKE" on the dashboard while it occurred.
Was driving down the road car completely loose power check engine light started blinking pulled over turn the car off. Turn it back on check engine light disappeared. Vehicle did fine feels like vehicles constantly losing power runs fine acceleration and it starts to cut out hook the check engine light system up and as most 2018 through 2019 Honda Accord error pops up Fuel rail/system pressure-too low bank one

The current documented Recall for the fuel pump cannot be rectified until fall of 2024. I need to us this vehicle however its a safety concern to operate the vehicle with the possibility of injury or accident. My insurance company "farmers" will not cover me in the event of an accident or injury brought on by this recall/defect. With that said all liability is on me for using the vehicle when this is a Honda problem they cannot fix for another 6 months. I drive 100 miles a day with this car which places me at a higher risk of this happening. This is not fair or safe to put the consumer in this predicament. This is another case of firestone tire recall scandal where they ran the numbers and saw it more in favorable to save money then to save lives. Honda will not pick up a loaner nor do I have the income to support another vehicle. This is wrong.

I have a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5t Sport. It has 113,000 miles on it. And I took it in for a diagnosis due to an inspection made by Walmart and I was told by the Honda dealership I have a blown head gasket. After much research and discovery, I found out this is a common and typical issue with this model car and that Honda corporation knows about it but refuses to issue a recall. I never experienced any warnings, car never ran hot or overheated. There was never any indication that the head gasket was an issue. Now that they have determined this, they are telling me because it is out of warranty it will not be covered and I am responsible for the $3000 charge to fix the head gasket. This is very upsetting being that Honda is very aware of the situation and seem to care less about the safety of their vehicle owners and the terrible situation that this puts their customers in.
On [XXX], while I was driving from St. Petersburg, FL to Tampa, FL, I experienced phantom breaking on the highway. The vehicle gave brake warning and started breaking automatically. Fortunately, I accelerated and maintained my speed thus avoiding a rear end accident. I realized that there is an ongoing inquiry related to these incidents but I thought I should come forward and write to you for everyone’s safety.

I received a notice that my car has a recall for a faulty fuel pump system. over the last year i have been dealing with the issues of this problem and have to multiple mechanics and no one could figure out what was wrong until this recall came out. I have had my car stall on me multiple times on the freeway, my car will idle rough all the time, poor fuel consumption and my check engine light goes on and off all the time. Because of this I have been unable to drive my care for months. I called John Hinderer Honda in Newark Ohio late January since there was finally a remedy available and scheduled my care to be fixed for the recall. I dropped it off on [XXX], upon arrival an employee sat in my car and noticed that it was idling rough. I get a call the next day from them stating that because the check engine light is not on at the moment it is not a concern for them at this time to fix the recall on my vehicle even after everything that has happened in the last year.

The left front headlight assembly failed this includes the low beam headlight and turn signal and parking lights. Subsequently the turn signal and emergency flasher for the entire car failed. After having the assembly replaced the mechanic found that the turn signal flasher problem wass related to a blown fuse. The headlight assembly failure was diagnosed as being caused by water in the light assembly. In addition it was noted that the right front assembly was contaminated by water and will probably fail in the future.

I purchased my vehicle from Lithia, Inc. d/b/a Wilde Honda in Waukesha, Wisconsin new. Wilde Honda serviced the vehicle on [XXX], after I reported that all lights in the vehicle were coming on. In addition, I experienced an incident on the highway where my car failed to accelerate, putting me in extreme danger. On [XXX], after my vehicle was returned to me, I experienced substantially similar issues immediately, with the same problems accelerating, all of the dash lights coming on, and a rumbling and jittering sound when the vehicle was first started. Wild Honda charged me $4,956.36 for repairs, which did not resolve any issues. I wrote to Alex Reed of Wilde Honda regarding these issues. Mr. Reed assured me that the underlying problem was resolved by replacing a fuel injector, and I was charged an additional $350.00. On [XXX], I again experienced the same dangerous issue where all the lights came on. Once again, I found myself on the highway, unable to accelerate and faced with a dangerous situation. I have made repeated demands to Lithia to reimburse me for the repairs charged to me, as well as for the fair market value of my vehicle as it can no longer be operated safely. Lithia d/b/a Wilde Honda has made no efforts to resolve this situation and disclaims all responsibility. After researching this issue, I discovered that In October 2018, American Honda notified dealerships that vehicles equipped with a 1 1.5L turbo direct-injection engine “may experience engine oil dilution” and that this “may result in increased oil level and can cause a [cylinder] misfire” and cause a variety of symptoms including a check light indicator due to an engine misfire, a low oil pressure light, and abnormal engine noises. In fact, American Honda reached out and requested that dealerships contact them if the dealerships came across similar issues that plagued my vehicle as American Honda was trying to determine the underlying issue.

Fuel injectors
The vehicle started idling rough and would seem like it was going to stall out. Eventually every light came on in the dash board and when I brought it to the shop, the head gasket had blown. This is a 2018 Honda accord with 99k miles. Regular maintenance has always been maintained. Upon doing research, a lot of people with this make/ model and low mileage have had this same issue. This appears to be a mechanical issue caused by the manufacturer.
This 1.5T has had alot of complaints about head gaskets going out. 50K miles i had it headgaskey went bad
All the warning lights turn on and the car loses power when accelerating. It shows the check engine code P0301. The spark plug and coil are fine. Potential issue is the fuel injector leaking.
Hello, I’m submitting this complaint regarding the Head Gasket issue being Blown out on my Vehicle, it only had (136,656) miles and has a good service and maintenance history which should have prevented the Head Gasket from blowing out, however I was informed by the Honda Service Advisor that this is an ongoing issue and that they are seeing much more of these vehicles coming in with a blown Head Gasket, unfortunately I had no other choice but to purchase a used engine and make the immediate repairs because Honda’s Head Gasket’s are in a serious Back order due to the aforementioned issue effecting many other Honda owners.

All electrical warning lights came on dashboard. This is very frustrating and scary. This needs to be a recall on this vehicle because nothing this serious is normal. I thought my car was falling apart. Honda needs to fix this problem and the owner should not be responsible.
I purchased this vehicle zero miles from Brickell Honda back in 2018. A couple of years ago, with only (Miles: 51070), I started to notice that the vehicle's velocity started to decrease all of the sudden when driving it on the roadways and highways. To me, it was extremely dangerous, specially driving the vehicle on the highways because one time another vehicle almost hit me from behind. One of the details about this issue, was the fact that all the lights on the dashboard were turned on, and I was unable to turn them off. On [XXX], I took the vehicle to Brickell Honda and service advisor named Miguel Diaz told me that the vehicle needed to be repaired (Fuel system cleaning), but was was unable to explain me the cause of the problem. On [XXX], I went back to Brickell Honda and paid ($1,798.00) to get my vehicle fixed. However, on 2023 I started to have the same symptoms with the vehicle as before but this time I took the vehicle to Hendrick Honda in South Carolina to be evaluated. I explained to Honda Advisor named Jeremy Mann that I got my vehicle repaired in Miami back in [XXX] and now it was having the same symptoms as before. Jeremy told me that I needed to pay ($3,503.70) to replace the cylinder head gasket. I explained to Jeremy that the symptoms were all the same as before, and he ignored it. I ended up paying Hendrick Honda ($3,142.44 ) to get it fix. On December 2023 I saw an article online about a recall, so I contacted American Honda Motors. I opened a case with them (Case # [XXX]) and explained to them my situation and how much I have spent to get my vehicle fixed. On [XXX], I received an email from American Honda Motors stating that the case was being closed and stating (No Campaigns are available under customer's VIN related to either repair). The symptoms that my vehicle was having were the same as it is mentioned in the 2023 fuel pump recall and American Honda didn't do anything to address the issue.

The car was driving raggedly it started loading power we was thinking it was the plugs the coils even bad gas we changed plugs the coils it continued to misfired after dat so when use some cleanser for the fuel pump the actual pump was too expensive few days after the it won’t crank it’s been sitting for months now please help me I’m not sure what’s wrong but it was doing exactly what it says the fuel pump module would do.
After this car was repaired by the body shop, all the automatic systems in the car started flashing and no one could figure out why. It went to four different repair shops over several months, till finally they convinced me to purchase another vehicle when this one was going to be paid off in two months. This problem was well documented by several repair places , and ultimately since it was unrepairable I had to trade it in and got bottom dollar for a non-running car that I owned since the beginning and got screwed.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle began to shake, after which the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to be restarted. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined there was a misfire in cylinder #3. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The VIN was included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000.
On 01/27/2024 I went to Mungenast Saint Louis Honda because my SRS airbag lights keep coming on for passenger seat, I paid $89 for a diagnosis fee and found out that I was told there is a sensor malfunction that is causing this. I was told that if that light is in the airbags will not deploy during an accident. I asked them to replace this part for free, they refused stated vehicle out of warranty even though it’s a huge safety hazard and can cause a fatality if the airbags don’t deploy, advisor at dealer said not to drive the vehicle until this gets repaired. I feel it’s unfair Honda will not repair this for free with it being a safety issue.
Safety Issue: Excessive Emissions and Melted Catalytic Converter(environmental risk)/Fire Risk My car needs all new fuel injectors. If you read online, fuel injector issues are rampant on Honda vehicles. North City Honda in Chicago diagnosed the vehicle. The parts are on backorder. I called Honda of Grandville Michigan and they also have injectors on backorder. They told me they have 15 cars waiting on injectors, the longest has been waiting an estimated 90 days. This is further evidence the issue is rampant, greatly exceeding the manufacturer's demand plan for fuel injectors. The error codes state my car is running too rich (among others). A vehicle that is running too rich risks unburnt fuel entering the catalytic converter, where it can combust and melt the converter, causing further safety and environmental risk. The error message I'm receiving says "Emissions System Problem. Avoid heavy acceleration and high speeds. See your dealer". The error message in my HondaLink app says "The engine is not operating properly. Limit your driving and visit your dealer as soon as possible. If the indicator is blinking, stop in a safe place where there are no flammable objects. Turn off engine for 10 minutes or more to let it cool. Restart the engine. If the indicator continues to blink, immediately have your vehicle checked by a dealer." Honda's own message states there is a potential fire risk. Yet, if all the parts are backordered for 90+ days, potentially thousands of customers will be forced to continue driving on a risky vehicle.

I had gotten my fuel injector replaced back in 12/07/2020 and I saw where now the fuel pump recall was recently put out, but I sold my car back in 08/2023 but I paid for my fuel injector to be replaced, will I be eligible for a reimbursement?
101,848 miles on odometer. Blown head gasket. Numerous other 2018-2020 Honda Accords have same issue. Leaking damaged gasket causes car to lose power leading to potential safety issue.

There was a persistent noise from the gas cap whenever locking or unlocking the vehicle. The Honda service shop stated that the issue was related to malfunction of the fuel door release actuator. The fuel door release actuator was replaced.
fuel injector, pipe set and ring had to be replaced. Car kept on displaying misfire and did not run good
While driving car cut off and smoke filled inside car. This could have caused a major accident and harm to myself and others. Had to have car towed to dealership for repair that should have not have happened for this age of car. I just had to pay out for a previous repair a few months before this.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started vibrating violently. The vehicle then lost motive power and was unable to accelerate above 10 MPH. The check engine warning light was illuminated.

Faulty Fuel Injectors has been a common problem with 10th Gen Honda for a lot of people, including myself. It starts off the same, all of the warning lights turn on in the dashboard randomly, we take it to the dealership and they say they need to replace the fuel injectors, with a estimate cost of $1,500+. How is that possible with low mileage cars? Even the lady who helped me at the Honda dealership told me that they should issue a recall for the fuel injectors because it is a common problem that so many people are experiencing across the nation. If you decide to have it replaced at the dealership, you have to wait months for the part to come in because there is so many orders for the same part. How has a recall not have been issued yet?! I looked online and this is a common problem that people have been having for years!

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact stated that on two occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was first towed to an independent mechanic where it was not able to be diagnosed. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
had vehicle in for a recall, they informed me that my rear brakes only had 10% wear left, but front brakes had 60%+. That seems very strange because most of the braking is handled by front brakes. Additionally, as I sat in the customer waiting area - different service advisors came into the waiting area to also inform 2 other Honda owners that their rear brakes also need to be replaced. My vehicle is driven mostly highway miles but when I further asked why the rear brakes would wear - they said, that happens sometimes with electronic parking brake cars. Note - I've never used the parking brake, but hearing them tell 2 other customers as I sat for over 5 hours in the waiting room seemed very strange and more an engineering flaw and potential safety issue.

I took my vehicle to Gregg Orr Honda in October when my dash lights were flashing again after having the fuel pump replaced in September. I was told that my fuel injectors needed to be replaced and that a fuel injector kit would be ordered. I have called several times since October, the last call placed in December of 2023 and I was told that the injectors are on back order and not sure when they will be in! What kind of customer service is this? Then he proceeds to tell me that he had ordered 7 fuel injector kits that week, I’m sure that a recall needs to be made on these fuel injectors as well because not everyone fuel injectors are going out at the same time.
Took my car for recall last week. Dealership isn't helping me. Spend so much money to fix something that's defecting parts of my engine. But dealership is ignoring me.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the traction control, ABS, check engine, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the Forward Collision Avoidance: Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure, and Collision Mitigation Braking system features were inoperable. The vehicle also experienced a loss of motive power while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the head gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
Car would shake in the morning would wait till warmed. Immediately brought to Honda where I had a diagnostic completed approx. 9/3. Reports says head gasket. Car well taking care (maintenance) no reason for blown head gasket. Got a second opinion They had the car for a week. No warning lights, and did another diagnostic and nothing showed at the time. Brought the car home. After a few months waiting for warning sign or other signs it took a couple of few months for the engine light to come on and it slowed down and came to a stop. Had car towed to Honda. Called Honda corporate. After finding out they weren't going to cover the cost of $5000+ knowing this has absolutely nothing to do with the customer being negligent with car. I can not afford that kind of money and had it towed to the same mechanic where we are still waiting for the parts to come in from Honda factory and it's been in his possession for 2 weeks. I had to get a rental which Honda would not cover. There is no way that a car that is 5years old under 80,000 miles should have engine work unless it was not cared for properly. I have proof of continuous maintenance. I should not be held reliable for malfunction parts on the car and other Hondas are having the same issues. It was very dangerous and scary having the car shake when driving and not being abled to accelerate on the gas with no warning of any. I had it towed 2x to 3x waiting and praying that Honda will be responsible.
We were notified by carfax a couple of weeks ago that my 2018 accord had a recall on the fuel pump. I called my Honda dealership and they told me there was no recall. Then yesterday the nhtsa and the manufacturer updated their sites to confirm there actually was a recall. I called Honda today and the rep told me that there is no remedy yet and the nhtsa website states there's an increased risk of crash and injury. What is the allotted time the manufacturer is given to remedy this problem? Because now I'm not going to drive my car because I don't wanna die and leave my wife and kids behind.

The brakes failed on the highway twice.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the fuel injectors. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V314000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.
Fuel pump or injector has malfunctioned. It is has already been inspected by a Honda dealer. Safety at risk because there was a recall on the fuel system of Hondas in 2020. I purchased this vehicle in 2021 and was not made aware. The vehicle could stall and cause an accident. No other problem currently reported on the vehicle. I was just sitting in a parking space when the engine light came on.
Turbo stop working or intermittently
The vehicle has been giving a check engine light and a litany of other warning lights including: electric power steering system problem, brake system problem, forward collision mitigation braking system problem, tire pressure monitoring system problem, adaptive cruise control system problem, traction control system problem. This issue happened intermittently at first including the warning lights, then constantly beginning about 3 weeks ago. The check engine light produced a P0304 code indicating a misfire on cylinder 4. The vehicle on cold start would idle rough indicating the misfire and idle at a higher RPM than normal. The vehicle would return to idling normally after approximately 15 minutes of warming up however all the lights would stay on. The vehicle felt like it was down on power, was running rough, and could go into limp mode at any time while the issue was present and significantly reduced the driveability and all of these other warning lights were on indicating potential problems with those systems. I had the vehicle inspected by a Honda dealership and two different master technicians have diagnosed it as a fuel injector issue, although they thought it could have been a head gasket issue as well and in fact have not ruled that out entirely at this point. This is a known issue with this vehicle shown by AHM putting out a request for parts from 2018-2019 1.5 Liter engine Accords affected by a P030X (Cylinder 1,2,3, or 4 misfire) code back in April.
Center display system that controls all audio and visual for GPS, and system controls abruptly will shut off and create a loud crackling sound in the speakers. The not working for hours or days.

Began getting several alerts, when taken in to get a diagnosis I received the following error codes P0301, P0304, P0301, P0300, U0401-68 & U3003-16. These codes stated that I had Cylinder 1 Misfire, Cylinder 4 Misfire as well as Random Misfire and ECM Failure and Electric Parking Brake Control Unit Power Source Circuit Low Voltage. The misfires were taken care of with new ignition coils and spark plugs; however, 2 days later alerts came back on at that point replaced battery. A few days after that the alerts again came back on. The dealership has not helped me out much simply saying I am no longer under warranty. However, I feel this vehicle is unsafe to drive as sometimes it feels as if it is just going to shut off. Therefore, this can possibly cause an accident injuring either. Others or myself.

My Honda Accord 2018 with 49,000+ Mileage suddenly showed multiple warning lights on the dashboard causing Parking Break to malfunction; ACC, Collision Assist malfunctions and many other warning lights appeared. I brought it to Honda Waldorf Maryland and they told me it was definitely the 2 Rear Calipers as they diagnosed, but this DID NOT solve the problem after replacements. After about 3 days with my vehicle still with them, they told me that it was the Module that is malfunctioning; I can no longer refuse them because my car has been there for several days and it's only the Honda that can fix this as the service rep stated and I really need my car. On the other hand, I checked Honda website and called them that there are recalls on the Honda Accord 2018 - 2020 Modules. Unfortunately, my VIN is not included even it clearly states that Honda Accord 2018 is included as stated on their website (see attachments).

In the 2018 Honda Accord the "Brake Hold" system will, at times, allow the vehicle to keep creeping forward after the vehicle is brought to a full stop with the Brake Hold system engaged. This is one of the issue which Honda has failed to properly troubleshoot to this day.
2018 Honda Accord has a poor fitting hood. The issue is not unique to Accords. On Honda Pilots around the same year, supposedly a "fix" was issued where some sort of a tape was used to stabilize the hood. At highway speeds, the hood experiences visible deflection/vibration-like movement. Yes, the stop towers and the latch have been checked and adjusted by a qualified body shop, who, essentially, indicated that there is nothing else that can be done.
Intermittently, the vehicle has a very violent shift at low speed (under 20 miles per hour). In the past, this had been mentioned to the dealer, numerous times, who claimed that the issue is not reproducible. However, during the visit on 12/06/2022, dealer mechanic(s) claimed that they did witness the issue and performed the following (per dealer's notes): "reset TCM and Batter cable reset." After which (the dealer notes state): "Let the customer know that the trans will adapt to driving habits within 200 miles. If the customer drives hard, the transmission will learn hard to shift hard etc..." The second statement is nonsensical, since, most of the time the transmission shifts relatively fine, regardless of the driving pattern (i.e. hard, mellow, etc.) and the issue happens intermittently (every so many hundreds miles driven), at very low speeds with very little accelerator input, which indicates more of a software issue (and, possibly a mechanical design defect, coupled with the SW issue). There are now other customers with, what sound like, a very similar problem: [XXX] Just as with my vehicle, other dealers are claiming "there is no issue" and Honda has ignored the issues. Honda has a history of transmission problems from the 2000s and it's really worrying that they might be repeating that pattern with 2018-on models: [XXX] While I am noting the issue at this mileage, there are numerous other instances of where the same problem occurred: at 46888, 47062, 47198, 47473, 47525, 47647, 52427, 52433 (so back to back), 52564, 53655, 53723 miles. At around 53494 mi had the car checked again by the dealer, who claimed no issue this time. The violent manner in which these shifts happen, makes one wonder how much mechanical damage is being done to the transmission and if a recall should be issued.

The vehicle's safety system (not sure if it's the camera mounted behind the windshield or something else) will periodically interpret a road speed sign as showing 100mph speed limit. This has happened before and will have happened again (I am filing this complaint after some time has passed). As with a number of other issue with the 2018+ Honda models, Honda's response has been "take it to the dealer" while the dealer's mechanic drives the car for an hour, does not see the issue and then claims that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. A picture is attached.
The infotainment unit on the 2018 Honda Accord does not properly sync up with a music player on the phone over Bluetooth. This is manifested by the incorrect display of the time the music track that has been played. This happens periodically. At other times, the music player on the infotainment unit does not respond to the tracks been switched from the controls on the steering wheel or the touch screen. A video of the behavior is available. Additionally, he infotainment unit does not display the album art for the music which is being played. This feature used to work, until the phone update. Which indicates that the infotainment unit does not properly work with newer Bluetooth protocols. Upon an attempt to troubleshoot the issue, based on the information here: [XXX] [XXX] I was able to restore only the track information being displayed, but not the album art. This is troubling as this would indicated that Honda has built in infotainment units without a seeming path to upgrade them during the life of the vehicle. Honda has been unwilling to properly address the issue via a recall or a software update. Their typical response (to just about every issue) is to take it to the dealer, who is not able to properly troubleshoot and address issues which were caused by the Honda's failures in software (and hardware) development. A video of the issue is available (Honda dealer and Honda pretty much refuse to take the videos as an evidence of the issue).

This is a complaint for a unique occurrence of this problem on this date. In some instances, it seems that the ventilation system is potentially pulling noxious fumes in from the engine bay and in others, there seems to be an issue with moisture retention when AC is run. The vehicle forces foul smelling air in to the cab. Honda has failed to properly troubleshoot the issue(i.e. retain the vehicle for more than a few hours and try to understand if there is an issue with the ventilation system or something else). The issue has happened at 52305 and 52474 miles (as well as other instances).
While driving on highway, I had to break fast to avoid collision. immediately after breaking all the lights in the car lit like a Christmas tree and had the following message “Emission System problem. Avoid heavy acceleration and high speed. See your dealer” I went to the nearest dealer service center and they recommended that I drive vehicle for ten minutes and see if it goes away. If it did not they asked to go back. I drove the car once again in the freeway and It seem to drive okay but then it suddenly shook a lot when pressing gas pedal and it did not accelerate. I used emergency lights and took first exit. Luckily there was a dealer within a couple of miles. Honda’s service center technician stated after running the rough computer that it could be multiple things wrong with car but most likely the issue was the fuel pump and faulty emergency light switch. I was driving back home from school break and still had a 5 hour drive to get home. The cost to fix both issues was estimated at over $1800, my dad opted to get pump replaced (@ over $1300) since this was since most likely will get me on the road again based on conversation he had with technician. Technician also did not guarantee that this would solve the issue since there were many codes activated and would only clear codes after servicing vehicle and go from there.
I was driving slow to a 4 way st and slowly had a car pass across me so far away and it passed and all of a sudden emergency break and slam on break by itself causing the passenger in my car to hurt them self ... I was unable to control this accident so bad!!!!
All dashboards lights is lid and comes off and on and intermittently electric issues... also horrible horrible all or most person who owns car complaints of underboost turbo charger and had to replace the turbo charger including myself and blown gasket.... causing a major sever safety issue especially driving....
Starting in Sept 2023, while pulling out of a park in a garage, my car started throwing numerous warning messages in the dashboard regarding emissions, ABS, Brake System, Power Steering, etc with the Check Engine Light staying steady. I took it to one Honda dealership who after 'diagnosing' claimed it was the fuel injectors needing to be replaced. The car wasn't jerking or sputtering so I took the car to another mechanic who also didn't believe it was the fuel injectors and felt it was electrical. Took the car to another Honda dealership and they claimed the same thing about injectors. After having a reputable mechanic do software updates that the original or 2nd Honda dealership NEVER checked for (it needed 4 updates, but one of them couldn't be done for LKAS). Most of the warnings went away due to the updates but the LKAS warning and collision warning remained. So I took the car to Safelite (they had replaced my windshield back in July and back then they were able to recalibrate the sensor) BUT this time (Oct 2023) not only were they not able to recalibrate the LKAS, they said the front camera was not communicating with the system and this was an electrical problem and I have to go back to the dealership. After reading NUMEROUS complaints and similar issues in regards to the LKAS, this multiple warnings AND the car ghost braking on its own every now and then months before this, I hope you all really look into this and do a recall or find a solution on this car. Now I am forced to go back to the Honda dealership and will have to threaten them to do their job this time and really look at the car and not just tell me it is needing fuel injectors replaced. The car drives, no jerking, no sputtering, but not having a front camera talking to the system and now the TPMS system keeps saying i have low tire pressure and won't let me calibrate even though my tires are at the optimal 32 level stated in the manual, I fear more issues are going to pop up soon.
After a service visit on May 27, 2023, at my local Honda dealership, I noticed condensation buildup in the front driver’s LED headlight. The car has never been in an accident, and there was no evidence of a strike from road debris. I initially suspected this moisture could be related to humidity, but it never evaporated and remained a problem. I troubleshooted other possible causes but eventually brought it back to the dealer for a more thorough investigation. The dealership determined that the headlamp was cracked/defective and worked with Honda to replace it. Just before the repair, the driver safety system generated multiple warnings about the lighting system and the turn signals failed to work. Once at the dealer, a blown fuse was discovered. It was presumably blown by the defective headlight and replaced. On October 30, 2023, I discovered new cracks in the front passenger LED headlight. Some condensation was also present. As before, the car has not been in an accident and there is no evidence of a strike from road debris. The pattern is strikingly similar to what transpired with the driver’s front headlight. In conclusion, I believe my headlight problems are caused by a manufacturing defect on some 2018 Honda Accord models. My experience with driver system alarms and inoperable turn signals due to a subsequently blown fuse demonstrate that defective headlights can create a serious safety hazard. I respectfully request your assistance with this situation and welcome the opportunity to find an agreeable solution.
When going under an overpass, my cars automatic braking system senses the shadow from the bridge as something in font of me and my car slams on brakes. No incidents have occurred at this time. It has happened at least 10 times and each time no one has been behind me. If there were someone behind me they would rear end me. I explained my concern to Flow Honda in Burlington and they suggested turning the feature off each time I start my car since there was no recall.
A car merged into my lane, the car braking light went on and a beeping noise sounded. After the car in front of us turned and nothing was in front of us, our Honda Broke abruptly and if it wasn’t for the seatbelt I think I would’ve hit the windshield. My daughter is afraid to get In the car because of this incident.
The entire engine turned off on a few occasions, unsure if it is electrical or the engine. When coming to a light, as the car is decreasing speed, it turned off completely. At this time all the lights appeared (check engine, brake system, etc) on the dash board. While in the middle of the road, I placed the car in park, and was able to restart it. The lights went away from the dash board and the car continued to run like nothing had occurred. Luckily there were no cars behind me. This has now occurred on 2 occasions and it is a hazard for an accident. Yes, the car is available for inspection. No, there were no warning lights nor indication that the car would turn off completely.
Random braking. Freeways or side streets. Fast or slow. Usually it seems to happen in school zones. Nobody in front of me or to the side. Problem comes with braking by itself, is that I almost get rear-ended. People are always trying to push me faster than speed limit. I surprised it hasn't happened YET. Been doing it since new. Had at dealer to lookat it few times.It just got frustrating. They can't replicate. That's the problem. It's RANDOM. Almost got rear-ended today. That is why I'm writing this today 10/16/2023. Been needing to do it for awhile.
For the last couple of weeks, a bunch of warnings pop up related addaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking and so on. The car ACC would stop working and car would auto brake without hitting brakes. I have checked online and see NHTSA has identified this issue but no action was taken. I am scared for my safety in this vehicle as well as my family. This issue needs to be fixed soon.
All electrical warning lights came on dashboard. This is very frustrating and scary. This needs to be a recall on this vehicle because nothing this serious is normal. I thought my car was falling apart. Honda needs to fix this problem and the owner should not be responsible.
My car is barely at 78,000 miles and I use premium gas, and get oil changes regularly but my car all of a sudden started having a cylinder 4 misfire. Thought it was just my spark plugs having to be changed, but after changing my car was still running rough and still misfired. There is a manufacturing defect for this model where the turbo is too strong for the engine and factory head gasket. There are grooves on the engine block for cooling but the turbo causes too much pressure and then air is creating too much space with the head gasket that can lead to it blowing. A blown head gasket repair is $1,500-$5,000 a repair or having to replace the whole motor if it gets too damaged. There are many examples of this problem on tons of honda accord forums having the same problem around this same mileage. For the images the crease in the engine block is supposed to be for cooling but it part of the root of the problem and the head studs are not strong enough.

The paint is chipping in different parts of the car. About 1 1/2 years ago they had to repaint the roof because of the chipping. The chipping is starting again on the sides underneath the hood and in the rear by the left side window. I had asked them initially to repaint the car and they would not.
The warning lights appear out of nothing and the issue has happened without an incident. I’ve been scared to drive my car with all these dash lights on. I don’t feel safe and I don’t want to put my life or kids life in danger.
The lights on this car pops up weekly sometimes when im driving pass 40 mph my car will just shut off. My brake hold button works on in off since ive gotten it i constantly get warnings like brake system problem, tire pressure monitor system problem, electrical prower steer Problem, acc problem, emissions problems all at once i have taking it to the dealer plenty of times but the problem never gets resolved i have been in almost 5 accidents due to my car just losing power
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord Sedan. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the low coolant warning light illuminated on the instrument panel, prompting him to refill the coolant reservoir. It returned to normal functionality, but around 10,000 miles later, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost all motive power. The contact was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the head gasket and found that the engine block was cracked at cylinder three. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Every warning light is turned on my vehicle. Dealer said it’s the fuel injectors however riverside is out of stock. Due to fuel injectors my line assist, emergency collision and cruise control does not work. Parts are not available on any auto zone or any other car part dealers. I’m worried my car might start a fire or some type of mechanical failure during my driving. Online shows multiple people having the same issue and recommends not buying a Honda. Please help, thank you
While I am driving down the highway, my brakes randomly engage and I get an error message that says collision, mitigation breaking system error please see dealer.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to park the vehicle on the side of the highway; additionally, the hazard lights failed to work. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact of a faulty START/STOP switch. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle sporadically applied the brakes independently. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and the hazard lights failed to function. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the START/STOP switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,336.
The seat belt has been buckled but disconnects once I drive. It has trouble connecting when I get in car. I have to push it in and pull for it to connect. I asked Washington Honda about recall and they said none were issued. I've never spilled food in it as I rarely have food in car.
All warning lights came on and I took the car to get checked out. Head gasket is damaged. Honda dealership has performed all service on vehicle. Gasket shows signs of premature deterioration. Very expensive repair for a know problem. This should be a recall item as there are numerous complaints with this model.
Automobile automatically, abruptly and forcefully applied the brake during normal driving. No apparent obstacle appeared that should have caused this behavior. However, the time this occurred was late in the day and long shadows of trees and shrubs were crossing the road at the time. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Driver was driving 40 mph on a suburban road with other drivers behind and to the side of the vehicle. Safety was put at risk as other drivers had to react abruptly to avoid a collision with and in reaction to the subject vehicle's stopping without apparent reason. Problem has occurred more than one time, including today being the most recent incident. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. Only message displayed with BRAKE in large flashing letters (black and yellow characters/background) while the car was braking automatically. Braking lasted approximately 1 to 1.5 seconds and brakes were released before vehicle came to a full stop.
"Supplemental restraint system failure" warning is intermittently illuminated in the dashboard. It comes on when the car is in drive, moving down the road, and when the car is in park. Warning goes on and off randomly. Dealership couldn't tell me what the problem was. Just suggested I replace the (very expensive) module to see if that works. On 4 different occasions the emergency brake system has gone off and the car has slammed on it's breaks while driving 50-55mph down the road with no object/ vehicle in front of it. Thankfully no one has been behind me when this has happened because I would definitely have been rear-ended if they were.
Car randomly brakes while driving
I was driving on the freeway in Houston, TX going 65 mph in the middle lane and my engine begin to lose power, and start stalling. Almost causing me to wreck with my 8 yr old son in the back seat. I was advised by my the dealership that Honda has a recall on fuel pumpt with my year and model. I contacted Honda and was advised my car is the year and model of the fuel pump recall, but it wasn’t effective by it. I feel that’s very strange my car didn’t apply to the recall, but it’s doing the same thing other owners car doing with the faulty fuel pump recall. I am terrified by the incident and it has cause me so much anxiety and stress. I look to get my car repaired due to the recall and Honda isn’t being helpful after myself and child almost had a wreck
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 60-65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the roadway. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove to the residence. Additionally, the contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle was running rough and was shuddering, and the RPM failed to exceed 2,000 RPM while driving. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the fuel injectors were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump had malfunctioned. The contact was referred to the dealer for recall repair of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V314000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 75,900.
The low beam lights abruptly stopped working without warning. The high beams, fog lights and interior lights work fine but I had to use my bright lights to get home which visually impaired oncoming traffic & myself because they flashed me with their bright lights. I called the dealership, and they said what happened was highly unusual and that led lights don't go out. Following this my system lights started to come on for the tire pressure and the brakes. They are still on and my tires work fine and brakes are working fine.
All lights are on saying turbo is goingout on scanner
Several warning lights appeared on the dash of my 2018 Honda Accord last week, including the check engine light along with several other warnings. The vehicle was acting very strange while I was driving it to the dealership, especially going up inclines. I was informed the fuel pump needed to be replaced, which has now been accomplished. The vehicle only has 34575 miles on it. In my lifetime, I have never had a car that needed a fuel pump replaced, and this one has less than 35,000 miles on it. I feel the fuel pump was inherently defective, not the result of normal wear and tear. I could not have driven this car safely any distance. It has now been replaced, but I believe this fuel pump could cause serious problems and accidents for others if not corrected.
The vehicle had a very violent shift (perhaps it was turbo lag related?) at low speed (under 20 miles per hour - typically, this happens in a parking lot or the like as you slowly drive away). In the past, this had been mentioned to the dealer, numerous times, who claimed that the issue is not reproducible. However, during the visit on 12/06/2022, dealer mechanic(s) claimed that they did witness the issue and the fix the performed the following (per dealer's notes): "reset TCM and Batter cable reset." after which (the dealer notes state): "Let the customer know that the trans will adapt to driving habits within 200 miles. If the customer drives hard, the transmission will learn hard to shift hard etc..." The second statement is nonsensical, since, most of the time the transmission shifts relatively fine, regardless of the driving pattern (i.e. hard, mellow, etc.) and the issue happens intermittently (every so many hundreds miles driven), at very low speeds with very little accelerator input, which indicates more of a software issue (and, possibly a mechanical design defect, coupled with the SW issue). Again, Honda has refused to properly troubleshoot and address the issue. There are now other customers with, what sound like, a very similar problem: [XXX] And, just as with my vehicle, other dealers are claiming "there is no issue" and Honda has ignored the issues. Honda has a history of transmission problems from the 2000s and it's really worrying that they might be repeating that pattern with 2018-on models: [XXX] While I am noting the issue at this mileage, there are numerous other instances of where the same problem occurred. The violent manner in which these shifts happen, makes one wonder how much mechanical damage is being done to the transmission and if a recall should be issued.

This is a complaint for a unique occurrence of this problem on this date. In some instances, it seems that the ventilation system is potentially pulling noxious fumes in from the engine bay and in others, there seems to be an issue with moisture retention when AC is run. The vehicle forces foul smelling air in to the cab. Honda has failed to properly troubleshoot the issue (i.e. retain the vehicle for more than a few hours and try to understand if there is an issue with the ventilation system or something else).
The 2018 Accords have a system called "Brake Hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The Brake Hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the Brake Hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the Brake System is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the Collision Mitigation System delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the Brake Hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later Honda models, Honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by Honda. This is a complaint for a separately occurring instance.
In the multimple other complaints filed (regarding the Collision Mitigation System, Infotainment, etc.) it become obvious that Honda has really screwed up the firmware/software and how it interacts with the sensors/systems and the user on this vehicle. The issue, this time, was the common occurrence of the battery dying. HOWEVER, instead of simply putting up a message that says "Hello, your battery is in an untennable state", someone thought it would be a good idea to flush EVERY warning possible, as in "Anti-Lock Brake System Problem...", "Vehicle Stability Assist System Problem...", etc. And, of course, it would demand that you "take it to the dealer." Upon replacing the battery the issues went away, for a few days. Then, another set of warnings - this time, something to do with the "Emission System". Upon taking it to a non-Honda reputable mechanic (so, a third party without a conflict of interest), they reset the codes and then things seemed to settle down. Good to know - another thing that just "happens with these" when it comes to the Accords of the 2018+ model year.
The vehicle keeps stating the brake mitigation, acc, and other various Honda sensor features need to be repaired and to contact a dealer. The vehicle de-accelerates on its home and doesn’t allow any of the Honda sense features to work. All the components of the dash are triggered at once. Most of the time the vehicle drives fine without the use of the Honda sense features. I have brought this to Honda and they state they don’t see any issues known to cause this problem. Short of the fact they never seem to happen when I bring it to the dealership. Most of the time this goes away on its own but lately the problems are lasting days. I don’t feel safe driving my own vehicle which has been greatly maintained.

My car ran good up until July 29, 2023. There was a slight tornado and lots of rain when I parked the car it was fine hour later it began to stall and became undriveable. I called my insurance company Progressive and called Honda of Manchester and Progressive had the car towed to Honda. They came back with the diagnosis of my HeadGaskit needs to be replaced my fuel injectors are miss firing and the piston rings needs to be replaced. I have 84,998 miles on the car and all of the maintenance records are up to date. Honda gave me a price of $4,800+ to have it fixed. Where I’m concerned at is how can these many problems happen at one time and I had know warning signs it just stopped running all of a sudden.
My car keeps indicating a supplemental restraint system issue then goes away I’m not sure what’s going on but I’ve seen several other complaints about this same issue with Honda.
We were told the fuel injectors were bad. This put us and others at risk as the car stopped moving when we pulled into traffic. The problem has been confirmed by the Honda Cars of Rock Hill dealership. The vehicle has been inspected by the Honda Cars of Rock Hill dealership. There were no warming lamps or messages that appeared before this happened.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), TPMS, anti-theft system, braking system, and traction control warning lights illuminated, and the messages "Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem. See Sealer", "Road Departure Mitigation. See Dealer" were displayed. The contact stated that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) mode, the Econ mode, and Sport mode were inoperable. The contact stated that she turned off and restarted the vehicle, and attempted to reset the vehicle herself; however, the failure persisted. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 88,697.
While driving at 35-40 mph the AEB braking system activated without cause. There was no vehicle, person or object in front of the car so the sensor should not have activated. The car braked without warning very abruptly. This has happened several times and I have reported to this site at least two other occasions in similar nature.
while driving in highway, all dash light slit up like a Christmas Tree and vehicle lost power. I was not able to go over 30 mph and was in danger of being rear ended on freeway. I was able to pull over to safety and turn vehicle off. Upon restarting the vehicle, I was able to make it back home. This has happened on 3-4 diff occasions. Honda is not accepting responsibility. They continuously refer me to Honda dealer to be ripped off for a diagnostic. There are several forums online complaining about the same issue. My battery and alternator is good. Please help and hold Honda accountable to their negligence in the build of these vehicles.
3 Incidents of auto braking without a car being in front of me. My vehicle abruptly applied the brakes from underneath my foot so hard, that myself and passengers jerked forward. This almost caused the vehicle behind me to run into me. I now drive with extreme caution wondering when will it happen again. It's not safe for anyone to be in my vehicle especially young children in car seats such as my nephew and granddaughter.
I have been dealing with the check engine light codes p0172c & p219c. Honda inspected my vehicle and said the problem is that my car is running too rich and the fuel injectors are bad but they say i cant really do anything because the fuel injectors are on backorder but really they are discontinued and they are unsure when theyll comeback. Im concerned for my safety and for others on the road because the p219c code is commonly associated with a leaky head gasket, and after speaking to several third party mechanics theyve all said they have been getting others with the same problem and the fuel injector isnt the actual problem, its the head gasket. which means unfortunately my head gasket could blow any moment im driving my car which i NEED to do because i NEED to work. I travel at least 40 miles a day in houston traffic and im very worried about the potential damages i can cause should my head gasket blow while im driving in rush hour on the highway. I had no other kind of warning for this besides the check engine light and its been on for the past 4 weeks.
Back up camera not working
I was traveling on interstate 65 in alabama running about 70 mph when suddenly the brakes slammed on automatically. The car behind me had to swerve over in the next lane to keep from hitting me from behind. this is the 3rd time this has happened but this last time almost caused a wreck. i AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW. The dealer kept the car for 2 days but could not reproduce this . the dash board started flashing brake. All 3 times there was no car in front or beside me.
Everytime I drive my car for a few hours the EPS light comes on and I have to pull over and turn my car and on. I have reached out to the dealer and they refuse to fix it. It has been happening for about 2 years. Close to 3.
While in traffic, all system problem lights came on and the vehicle would not accelerate. Dealer diagnosed as fuel pump failure.
Unkown
On about 7-10 occasions since purchasing car new, the automatic braking system will engage brakes for no reason. These have all been in cuise control mode and with no cars in front of me. It is a very hard braking and a many of the times on interstates going 70 MPH. Have no idea why it does this, but definitely feel it is unsafe and makes me wary of this situation happening in the future (as I'm sure it will).
Engine loss power on and off and start going slow
I purchased the vehicle from a Honda dealership on 5/21/2022. The Multi-View Rear Camera stopped working correctly after only a few weeks of ownership. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the problem. I didn't take the vehicle back until 11/28/2022, due to the 3YR/36K factory warranty being expired. I also didn't purchase any extended warranty coverage due to the mileage on the vehicle being only 13,878 at that time. There has been a previous recall due to the Multi-View Rear Camera (Recall Numbers: K2G & V2F). The NHTSA Campaign Number is: 18V629. The information related to this recall states that the Multi-View Rear Camera may fail because of bad software. I feel that the safety of myself, other passengers that I may have in the vehicle, as well as the safety of others, are at risk due to the Multi-View Rear Camera not working properly.
The paint, obsidian blue pearl, is peeling and rust is starting to form.
Supplemental restraint system error appears on dash unit, at first intermittently and now at all times. I am wondering if this could be related to a recall on seatbelts which apparently does not apply to my VIN but does to other 2018 Honda Accords.
The backup camera does not work. Currently it is a black screen when in reverse. It started several months ago going in and out, with it working sometimes and other times going completely out. Now it is completely out and does not work at all. This puts my daughter and others in and around the vehicle in danger when reversing. Honda has a "Rear Camera Safety Recall" for the 2018 Honda Accord, however it does not apply to my VIN. I was told by Honda to bring it to the dealer for a diagnosis. If it was not too expensive, then I could pay for the fix. If it is too expensive, then to call Honda back with the diagnosis and they would determine if financial assistance can be provided to make the repair. I have an appointment tomorrow to have it diagnosed.
I was on a hill my car stalled I hit the gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so I let off the padel and went to try to accelerate for the second time but as I did it took off and I hit a pole
The 2 airbags on the driver and passenger side exploded around 7 AM 7-14-23 driving South on San Andreas causing the car to drive into a Street pole and dislodge the right front wheel and cause likely irreperable damge to my 2018 Honda Accord. I was shaken up aandmy right arm has burn marks from the airbags imploding The car was not driveable and towed to ABX Collsion in San Diego. I am going to contact Honda shortly as this incident is causing a lot of financial and mental distress.
1. The Collision Mitigation Breaking System is braking for no reason, at random times while driving 2. My safety and the safety of others is put at risk because when driving on an open road, cars behind me may not have time to break and this could result in an accident. Not to mention, there's nothing in front of my vehicle, so normal things on the road don't cause drivers to assume a car with suddenly brake 3. Yes, the issues been confirmed but I'm expected to pay for it when this has been recalled on several other models 4. This has been happening for the last several months. I put a note in my car to turn off the sensor but as of today, my vehicle will not let me turn off the sensor anymore
I had a recall on my seatbelt and after I did the recall now my airbag resistant light is coming on and I don’t think they’re going to look at it without charging me when it never came on until they done the seatbelt so I’m not sure if I got a defective part and they need to replace it or what but I don’t think I should have to pay for it since it was just fine till they done the recall
unknown
When I am driving, the car turns off in the middle of the road and this warning message appears: Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem See Your Dealer. I took it to the dealer. They changed the battery, but the problem still occurs. This is dangerous because the car cut off in the middle of the road where you can get rear ended.
Unknown
Door lock actuator Door does not auto lock leaving my rear passenger door unlocked even while driving. Has not been inspected as it is out of warranty
Vehicle stalls during idle and during operation of vehicle. Vehicle is hard to start once its stalls out.
A/C not working
AC is NOT working and it is a SAFETY ISSUE as drivers can have HEAT STROKE and other heat medical issues especially with medical conditions like me. This is the car I am driving to for everything. I saw a lot of complaints online with the same AC issues related to Honda even under 50K miles only.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the back-up camera displayed a blank image while the vehicle was shifted into reverse(R). The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the VIN. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 23,144.
Front suspension makes rattling noise when driving over small bumps. Additionally, the suspension system makes loud knock sound when coming to a full stop.
Sunroof exploded for no reason, not hit by anything or debris from road, while drive down road at 40mph. If my sunroof visor wouldn't have been closed this could have blown glass into my face and eyes while driving.
My acc went out along with my collision mitigation system and no accident just for no reason.
I was driving my vehicle on an open highway. There were no road hazards or other vehicles in front of me when my car slammed on the brakes. The brakes caution light flashed and beeped on my dashboard and the car slammed on the brakes. If I had another vehicles behind me I would have been rear ended. This is the 3rd time my vehicle has done this since I purchased it.
In April 2023, our car's dashboard lit-up and we took the car to the Honda dealership. The service center diagnosed a misfiring cylinder caused by a fuel injection system problem, and we were advised that all fuel injectors need replaced. Symptoms of the fuel injector issue would be less vehicle power and the potential to stall completely, and the service center informed us to avoid driving long distances but that the fuel injectors were on national backorder. Honda has not provided any timeline or updates, or a loaner vehicle in the interim, even though it has been nearly 2 months. There were no warnings beforehand, and driving without replacing the fuel injectors is dangerous due to the risk of stalling. It has been stated this is not a unique issue, and the service center has multiple people waiting on these parts and fixes.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times intermittently. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the brakes locked up and the vehicle came to a sudden stop. The driver and passenger were jolted towards the windshield. The brake warning light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.
Out of the blue car was having a glitch on the screen when turning on the vechical. The battery died and was replaced. Once battery was replaced engine light and brake like will turn on and off. After battery was replaced the engine light turned on and started to read that ignition and sparks plugs are bad. I have spoke to about 50 people with the same car and they are having the same issues and the mechanics do not know what is wrong
My car is 5 years old with 72,000 miles and it now need a new head gasket. Mechanic said Honda is aware of this issue on this model car but my warranty is expired and this is costly fix for something the company is well aware of.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, there was white colored smoke coming from the passenger’s side of the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was provided a loaner vehicle. A diagnostic test was performed, and the contact was informed that the head gasket was blown. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
Acc, breaking system, lane departure, collision warnings all on. Cruise control not working! The cmbs is not functioning properly.
Also the side of the center console. I have leather seats and all my years of owning cars with leather my head rest or center console has ever looked like this.
About two months ago when I was driving home from work, my car slowing down suddenly and it would not accelerate, so I pulled over to the side and cut it off the engine for 2 minutes then I started the engine back and it seems like nothing happened, I drove my car like normal everyday. Then one month later all the warning light came up so I called the honda service and I have to leave my car over there, then they called me, it has a problem with Fuel injector and it will cost about $1400 to replace the part and I said go head and fix it. They called me back that they could not get the part due to the back ordered and they do not know when they gonna get the part. They said it could be 7 days to 12 months to get that part. I am pretty upset about this matter. How can Honda do not have that part?? Anyway my car only has 32,000 mile and I always take car my car and it had problem already. I had Honda accord 2014 before and had no problem at all, that is why I bought another Honda Accord. It is such a disappointment and I can not believe that they don’t have the part to fix the problem. I always like Honda for my car but I think I will not gonna buy Honda for my next car if they can not fix this problem.
On Easter 2023, my family and I were traveling when the check engine light came on. A warning indicated there may be an emissions problem. I contacted my local dealership the following morning and was told that there was a safety recall on seatbelts ( had no idea) and that I’d have to wait until 5/1 in order to get a loaner. I was advised if I brought the car in sooner, I wouldn’t be allowed to leave in it if needed parts weren’t available. I was told that the car was safe to drive as long as check engine didn’t flash. On 4/26, I was a block away from my home when several warnings began to illuminate all at once- “adaptive cruise control is failing, see dealer”, “ collision mitigation braking system failure, see dealer” among several more warnings. I contacted the dealership again and was told to keep my appointment the following week. I took my car in on 5/1 and was told that I needed to replace fuel injectors at 68k miles! I was quoted $2100 for the repair and parts however the part can’t be located due to being on a critical back order. It seems that staff at Honda have been provided a script to ask consumers to pay for the part in order to be given an eta which is ridiculous. I questioned why the dealership couldn’t order the part and I pay once it arrives to ensure my car received the part. 2 weeks later and still no ETA. Honda should honor their brand and customers and issue a recall as I’ve read this is a frequent problem on the 2018 model Accords.
Check engine and 11 other warning lights appear. Dealership reports it as faulty fuel injectors and driving should be avoided or limited. The repair is covered under an extended warranty as there is apparently a known issue with design of the parts used in manufacturing. The issue is no parts are available to repair it under warranty however dealership claims they can fix it for cost of about $1500 using “other fuel injectors.”
Door locks malfunctioning intermittently across multiple doors. Locks cannot be toggled by master control or fob. Passenger in seat of defective lock could be trapped in vehicle in emergency if unable to manually toggle door lock. I have fixed one lock only for the issue to present itself on another door lock immediately after repair.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance braking system erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in the middle of the road. During the failure, there were no other vehicles or objects nearby. The contact stated that the failure recurred on several occasions. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
To whom it might concern, I have a Honda accord 2018 sport trim. The AC stopped working. This is part of the engine and should be a recall since it’s stopping to work for all Honda accords 2018 and new newer models.
MY CAR KEEPS SLOWING DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND THAS DANGEROUS I HAVE TWO KIDS!! MY CAR WILL NOT Accelerate ONCE IT SLOWS DOWN . MY CAR ENGINE LIGHTS KEEPS BLINKING. ALL MY LIGHTS BEEN ON MY CAR FOR A YEAR AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IT NEEDS TO B W RECALL OM THESE CARS BEFORE HONDA HAVE W LAWSUIT WITH THESE CARS TO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TWO YEARS NO WAY I SHOULD HAVE THESE PROBLEMS WITH THEY CARS
Vehicle suddenly shut down in traffic second time in a row within 4 days after it was supposedly repair by Honda dealer the first time. It was again my luck that the car engine shut down, suddenly stopped on a road, not on a highway which could result in serious injury to death as sudden stop would cause newsworthy bad crash to my vehicle from oncoming high speed traffic that follows my vehicle. Problem was traced to the latent defective wire harness bundle that runs from the front to the rear of the vehicle throughout the floor board. I believe normal vehicle road vibration during my four years of driving in the high traffic Los Angeles region (a measly 27,700 miles) introduced flexing to the wire harness at certain portion of the latent defective wire harness bundle. The latent defect in the wire harness bundle surfaced its ugly head finally since I own the car new in March, 2019. A segment of the spider wire harness bundle that has the latent intermittent defect disconnected internally to cause the control signal to the fuel pump assembly to stop fuel pump to the engine. Consequently, the vehicle engine shut down, stopped suddenly in traffic again the second time due to lack of fuel. The large spider wire harness bundle was replaced on May 9, 2023. The vehicle is operating properly so far. Clearly this is not a wear and tear issue. It is a latent defective wire harness bundle supplied to Honda by the Honda subcontractors who fabricated the wire harness bundle for the factory build for this 2018 Honda Accord model lot. I like to strongly urge NHTSA to engage Honda to make plans to investigate this lot of wire harness supplied to it now that my vehicle defective wire harness bundle is sent back to the Honda warranty department.
My car 40,000 miles and all waring lights are coming on the dash such check engine,lane acc,steering,brake ,parking , took to Honda dealer they say nothing was wrong now there saying it the fuel inject and it will be 1,250 to fix i been look it up and see there's a lot of other ppl with the same problem but no recall for the 2018 Honda Accord sport
I was driving on a road with no other cars around at about 40 miles an hour and the collision mitigation system flashed the brake signal a few times and tried to stop very suddenly. I pushed on the gas to fight it and it released the brake.
Backup camera not working. Get black screen with only the yellow lines to denote distance but no camera picture.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle independently made a sudden stop. The brake warning light illuminated along with other unknown warning lights. The contact was able to pull over on the side of the road safely and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was contacted and stated that the Manufacturer was aware of the failure, but that there was no recall for the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 70,000.
SRS light went on while driving
Honda technician discovered connector to the fuel pump assembly was disconnected. His statement is: Technician found a softset connection on the fuel pump assembly. The vehicle computer did not produce vehicle malfunction message. It was confused with no input from the fuel pump assembly. The vehicle computer displayed many erroneous messages on the dashboard. It shut down the engine suddenly in traffic. If the vehicle was driven on the highway, a very serious accident perhaps resulting in death can occur when vehicle suddenly stops in high speed traffic. I believe this is manufacturing error with poor quality control. Honda needs to beef up the quality control, furthermore redesign the vehicle computer to send error messages to the driver, do a soft coast of the vehicle when connection to the fuel pump assembly is not engaged.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked, vibrated and lost motive power and failed to exceed 30 MPH while accelerating. During the failure, the check engine and transmission warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who determined that the fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.
I was driving along the highway and my sunroof exploded. I immediately pulled over and saw that the sunroof had blown up from the inside as the glass edges were facing up.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle started driving abnormally. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the head gasket and the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.
Blown head gasket diagnosed at 112k ‘miles on 2018 Honda Accord many in doing research general repair on this specific accord 1.5t happens around 100-113k miles when a head gasket should last the life time off a vehicle roughly 200k I have a 1997 accord with 300k and still no head gasket issues I got this Honda due to the fact it should last a while
There has been a series of constant issues with this model and each issue has been brought to a certified Honda dealership and was supposedly "fixed" engine code P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire),P2651 B rocker arm Actuator system, P0087 Fuel Rail/system pressure, P0304,P0303 cylinder 3 and 4 misfire, engine temperature always above normal. These issues on multiple situations has put my safety and the safety of others at the highest risk. The motor vehicle due to these issues randomly would lose power to the point where stepping on the gas doesn't not accelerate the car, forcing me to stop in the middle of the highway having other vehicles stop suddenly and swerve around me with children in the vehicle. Another occasion going up a hill the car beings to stutter losing power resulting to the car shutting off, forcing me engage These reoccurring issues have also randomly caused the vehicle to not start. Multiple warning signs are lit across the dashboard. These occurrence are random with no warning sign The vehicle has been brought to the same dealership numerous times claiming each issue was fixed but within a few weeks more issues came. The last visit i was told as a "solution" i need to buy a new engine out of pocket, unacceptable for a Honda engine with 64000 miles on it. This oil dilution issue need a proper answer before someone is serious injured.
Daytime Running Light(DRL) passenger side color yellow burnout. I called Honda dealership they told me it will be out of pocket. My vechile was 63k mileage. One of my friends have the same issue i have.
the vehicle has faults on the dashboard, all the warning lights come on and there are functions that do not work when they are on.
On April 7 at 1230p I was driving about 45 mph on Lindbergh Blvd in Creve Coeur. As I was moving into a construction area there was a sign to lower speed to 35. I lowered my speed with my brakes and at the same time traveled over a metal plate on the road. After I let up on the brakes there was an immediate very jarring breakage done without my foot on brake as I went over the plating. The abrupt braking was so severe that all of the belongs on both front passenger and back seats all fell to the floor. There is no doubt in my mind that if there was a car behind me they would ran right into me. After going over the plating the braking system was released and my regular driving ability resumed. I would be afraid to try to reproduce this problem. Since owning the car I have had about 5 less severe problems with this automatic braking system on this same road with the system sensing something that was not there (I thought it was a policeman's radar) with a very very short and less severe automatic braking. I did not not notice any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem .
I down loaded my update through the radio. It said complete. I went into the house and the next morning I started it and a bunch of warning lights were on and have stayed on. I can not use some of the buttons on the drivers door, I can not use my key fob unless it is touching the start stop button, I can not open the trunk, the gas cap will not open, and most of all I have lost some power to the interior fuse box. This car is only 5 years old almost to the date and it has had multiple recalls already. I want the BCM reprogrammed and fixed so all this will go away.
I have taken my Honda because of engine misfiring. They said there is coolant seeping in the pistons and we red a new engine gasket and the cost is $4,000. All the warning lights are turning on and alerting the driver but when I took it in and paid $380 they can’t figure out why these are turning on. The fuel injectors and belt are another item that has been alerted to being an issue. These are problems my 20 year old car has not encountered and this is a 2018. The airbags warning has been an issue at least once every few months.
Paint chipping on both sides of roof edges.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there were abnormal rattling sounds coming from the rear of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the failure was a known manufacturer defect; however, the dealer informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 45-60 MPH, the driver's side-view mirror detached from the mirror housing. The contact panicked as he had lost visibility of incoming traffic. Additionally, the forward collision avoidance sensors ceased to function as needed. The contact was unable to veer to the side of the road, and he pushed back the mirror into position while driving. The contact stated that upon reaching his destination, he attempted to secure the side-view mirror in the housing but was unable to. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who advised the contact to push the side-view mirror back into place whenever the failure occurred. The dealer also informed the contact he would be charged for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure occurred 5-7 times within two years. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.
Door locks don’t work with fob intermittently. Often times, failure door can only be locked/unlocked manually by toggled physical mechanism, or by use of key, never buttons or fob. Passenger using said door would have difficulty opening door in the event of emergency, or at least delayed in doing so trying to find the toggle. Issue has not be replicated by either dealer or other professional. Issue has been ongoing for 6 months, but recently one of the door has failed completely so I will be going back to dealer tomorrow. There are no warning indicators to suggest a certain issue.
The infotainment unit on the 2018 Honda Accord does not properly sync up with a music player (such as any given phone) over Bluetooth. This is manifested by the incorrect display of the time the music track that has been played. Honda has been unwilling to properly address the issue via a recall or a software update. Their typical response (to just about every issue) is to take it to the dealer, who is not able to properly troubleshoot and address issues which were caused by the Honda's failures in software (and hardware) development. Ad video of the issue is available (Honda dealer and Honda pretty much refuse to take the videos as an evidence of the issue).

The vehicle's safety system (not sure if it's the camera mounted behind the windshield or something else) will periodically interpret a road speed sign as showing 100mph speed limit. This has happened before and will have happened again (I am filing this complaint after some time has passed). As with a number of other issue with the 2018+ Honda models, Honda's response has been "take it to the dealer" while the dealer's mechanic drives the car for an hour, does not see the issue and then claims that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. A picture is attached.
The CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) had another failure. This is due to the Radar Sensor being blocked and then other safety systems in the vehicle having cascading failures. In the winter of 2019, the Radar Sensor had failed catastrophically and I had to take the vehicle in to the dealer where they, supposedly, performed some sort of an adjustment. During a phone call with a Honda representative, the representative claimed that "this would never happen again." However, what happens now is I get an error message claiming that there is a failure in the CMBS system, every time the Radar Sensor is blocked, directing me to "take the vehicle to the dealer." Hence, she lied. Furthermore, the failures indicate Honda's failure in producing a safety system that is reliable in a wide range of weather conditions. Honda CEO recently claimed that Honda will be producing Level 3 autonomous vehicles. That is horrifying, considering Honda can't even make a CMBS and a Radar Sensor that does not fail constantly. Please, please, please make Honda recall ALL the models which use the Radar Sensor and the CMBS that is similar to the one in the 2018 Accord before someone gets really hurt. Please.

Hence, she lied. Furthermore, the failures indicate Honda's failure in producing a safety system that is reliable in a wide range of weather conditions. Honda CEO recently claimed that Honda will be producing Level 3 autonomous vehicles. That is horrifying, considering Honda can't even make a CMBS and a Radar Sensor that does not fail constantly. Please, please, please make Honda recall ALL the models which use the Radar Sensor and the CMBS that is similar to the one in the 2018 Accord before someone gets really hurt. Please.
The CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) had another failure. This is due to the Radar Sensor being blocked and then other safety systems in the vehicle having cascading failures. In the winter of 2019, the Radar Sensor had failed catastrophically and I had to take the vehicle in to the dealer where they, supposedly, performed some sort of an adjustment.

The CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) had another failure. In this case, there was "phantom braking", whereby the car abruptly applied breaks without an abstruction in fron of the vehicle. I have filed several complaints with NHTSA and, yes, "have taken the vehicle to the dealer" more than once for issues with the CMBS, to no avail. Not only that, but since then, there has been a class action lawsuit against Honda for the related issue(s). Yet, NHTSA still has not issued a recall on all the CRVs, Accords, Pilots and Odysseys which all use similar version of this system.
The hood on the 2018 Honda Accord vibrates at highway speeds (not a little, but significantly). Two separate body specialists tried to make adjustment which resulted in slightly better fit, but still, the hood vibrates (again, not a little, but an unsettling amount) at highway speeds. Honda already has a known issue with the Pilot model's hood: https://honda.oemdtc.com /711/hood-flutter-or-vibration-at-highway-speeds-2016-2019-honda-pilot-2017-2019-ridgeline And now, 2018+ owners are starting to complain about the hood stability at higher speeds as well. When I had initially raised the issue with American Honda, they ignored it (and, as they always do, told me to go to the dealer). Since then, Honda has done nothing to truly address the problem. An investigation (and a possible recall) should be initiated.

The vehicle had a very violent shift (perhaps it was turbo lag related?) at low speed (under 20 miles per hour - typically, this happens in a parking lot or the like as you slowly drive away). This has been mentioned to the dealer, numerous times, who claims that the issue is not reproducible.
The 2018 Accords have a system called "Brake Hold" which is intended to engage the braking system while a vehicle is stopped at, say, a stop-light. The intent seems to be to allow the driver to have their foot on the gas, instead of the brake pedal. The Brake Hold system frequently has an issue where it allows the vehicle to creep. This, generally, seems to happen in colder temperatures. Another, pattern of behavior is when the vehicle has been brought to a slow roll, then stopped (using the brake pedal) and as soon as the brake pedal is release, the Brake Hold system fails to hold the vehicle in the stopped position. After a significant delay, the Brake System is engaged, but the vehicles had, at that point, lurched forward several inches, if not over a foot. This indicates (just as with the Collision Mitigation System delays, discussed in other complaints) that there is a significant issue with the timing of the control system utilized in the Brake Hold, the sensor(s) or both, where the system fails to detect the conditions in real time and reacts in a delayed manner. Again, as with other issues on the later Honda models, Honda has failed to perform comprehensive troubleshooting of the issue (even after me taking the vehicle to the dealer as indicated by Honda. This is a complaint for a separately occurring instance of this issue.
I've filed the specific issues in other complaints, but also wanted to input this for a record. After taking the card to the dealer, the dealer DID NOT address any of the following: Right door speaker rattle Engine squeak (when shutting off) Hood vibration Did not troubleshoot the smell coming from the ventilation system. Did not apply the fix (if there was one) for the infotainment unit restarting abruptly. Did not look at as to why the display shows 100mph speed limit when there is no such thing in the the state of Colorado (that I know of and certainly not where I was driving when this happened). Did not look at why the aux display has issues Did not look at Bluetooth connectivity issues. Did not look at problems with radar and the CMBS system. Of course, the usual response is "we drove it for an hour (if that) and did not see anything."
When the engine is shut down, there is a squeak (have not been able to pinpoint the source). However, prior history on the vehicle considered, wanted to make a record. The vehicle has always had a burning smell to it and, at one point, a dealer's mechanic did replace the head gasket, claiming that was the source of the burning smell. However, the burning smell still persists and I've been wondering if something more serious is going on (as one mechanic did say, there is a possibility of the turbo burning oil due to some defect). Hence, the squeak is suspicious due to that.
Defrost on the 2018 Honda Accord seems to have an intentionally compromised design whereby the vent underneath the windshield was made too small and does not deliver sufficient airflow in order to maintain sufficient visibility in colder/wetter conditions. This, in turn, compromises the safety as the visibility is severely compromised.
This is a complaint for a unique occurrence of this problem on this date. In some instances, it seems that the ventilation system is potentially pulling noxious fumes in from the engine bay and in others, there seems to be an issue with moisture retention when AC is run. The vehicle seems to force foul smelling air in to the cab. Honda has failed to properly troubleshoot the issue (i.e. retain the vehicle for more than a few hours and try to understand if there is an issue with the ventilation system or something else).

Noise coming from the back and the passenger door. The noise comes and go, but it's mostly there when driving under 40mph
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle abruptly stopped with unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. The contact stated that at the time of the incident, the automatic braking system engaged by itself most likely due to the fact that a car was really close to the vehicle and possibly sensed danger.
There is a recall of seat belts. I check the manufacturer it says SEP 21, 2017 - JUN 12, 2019. Mine shows 11/17. I check vin number there is no recall for a seat belt. I have an issue with my seat belt.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated multiple warning lights were illuminated intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, but the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,000.
I have had a few instances where I was driving and the brake warning light started flashing and the car broke. This latest incident was today and it was extremely dangerous and scary. I was driving and no one was driving in front of me the car warning brake light flashed and the car came to a complete stop, the car behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me from behind and I wasn’t even able to press on the gas to move until after a few seconds!!
Accord is throwing codes saying cylinder 1 and 4 are misfiring. It's causes several warning to appear. Occasionally will go into "limo mode." Mechanic says fuel injectors need replaced. Only 60k miles.
When driving and removing foot from the acceleration pedal, allowing my car to slow without hitting my brake, I have noticed a loud humming/vibration around the 40 mph speed. It is very dangerous because it distracts my driving. I have tried powering off radio and ac/heater, rolling windows down and opening sunroof. Nothing seems to stop the noise.
I was using the cruise control feature while driving and it gave multiple errors. It happens each time I use the cruise control feature and assisted driving feature. The errors it gives are: 1. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem. See Your Dealer. 2.Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem. See Your Dealer. 3. Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem. See Your Dealer. I have also been driving and it breaks by itself and there is nothing in from of the vehicle. It was an orange flat plate on the road for construction. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer but they say it’s all normal.
While I was driving down Highway 101 near Mountain View near the Shoreline off-ramp, the vehicle's CBMS activated at highway speed even though there was no car in front of me. The weather was cloudy but visibility was good. The vehicle displayed "BRAKE" together with a warning sound, and the car suddenly decelerated. Luckily there was no car behind me, since the sudden braking could have easily caused an accident. I can confirm that this is repeatable -- on three occasions, the CBMS engaged at the exact same place where there was some surface imperfection in the road (due to recent asphalt patching). I had to step on the accelerator immediately to ensure the car behind me didn't rear end my car. I've read reports about the Honda Accord 2018 having this potential defect and wanted to make sure this report is filed, especially because it is repeatable. For now I've had to disable the vehicle CBMS to prevent an accident from occurring.
The car out of no where breaks while driving and thinks it’s been involved in a collision.
My 2018 Honda Accord Ex-L 91,560 miles has an issue with the fuel pump/injectors while driving on the roadway and/or highway. My vehicle will come to a mid stop abruptly because it is not getting enough power to the engine from the fuel pump. This has caused safety issue to myself, passengers in my vehicle, pedestrians and and other drivers while operating my vehicle. Honda has been made aware of this issue and has over 650,000 vehicles manufactured between 2018-2020 with the same reported issue and has previously issued a recall for only certain 2018-2020 vehicles. Furthermore, Honda refuses to repair my 2018 vehicle under the recall for the same issue based on my VIN#. I have notified Honda of the inherent danger to myself and others and they have ignored the safety hazard and refuse to repair the fuel pump which typically has a life span of 250,000 miles or more.
After getting my car service the service dept. said my brake were ok, two months later my rear driver side brake pads were worn to the metal and my brake caliper needs to be replace along with that brake rotor, I complained I was just in here two months ago and you said they were ok and I asked why just one brake pad wore out they had no answer , I asked will my extended warranty will cover it and they said it would not be covered because it's normal wear and tear. also, all my Warning lights, will come on every once in a while, but by the time i go to the dealer they would cut off so now i just wait to the next day and turn the car off and on until the light go off, when i tell the dealer and show pictures of all the warning lights they say they cannot do anything until they see it themselves.
Two cylinders began misfiring on the same day due to fuel injectors. Dealership inspected the injectors and confirmed they needed to be replaced. Under 60k miles on the vehicle. This caused a check engine light as well as 8 other error messages to show on the dash. Exhaust system error message was seen. Brake system light and ABS light turned on due to the fault in the exhaust system. Unclear if the systems are still working as intended. There were no prior warnings or issues until these dash lights turned on. Fuel injector issues causing engine misfire is dangerous at high speeds and can cause further damage to the vehicle.
ALL dashboard warning lights come on.(brakes, VSC, steering, etc) Message says take to dealer. After doing a Google search, it appears to be a COMMON ISSUE for Honda Accords for 2018 and newer. They will come on and either stay on for days/weeks at a time and then just go off on their own. Dealer has no solution.
air bag light comes on and stays on for a little bit and goes off , toke vehicle to honda dealer and they did not know what was wrong was told they were going to contact honda and they would get back in touch with me .
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 75 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. Additionally, the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of coolant, causing the vehicle to overheat. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The safety features were inadvertently disabled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the fuel injectors were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Every time I schedule to have it serviced and run a diagnostic test, by the time I get to the service center, the lights have gone off and they are unable to run a diagnostic without the warning lights being on. Only was able to get a diagnostic once as Honda doesn't run diagnostics on weekends and I work during the week.

My 2018 Accord had 22628 miles on it. I brought in for an oil change and tire rotation at my local dealer, Klein Honda in Everett Washington on 12/28/22. They performed the service and they gave the car an inspection. It said that the brake pads on all four wheels were at 8mm. which would be normal at 22628 miles. Two weeks later I started hearing a crunching noise when I would come to a stop. I made an appointment for a few days later 01/26/2023. I brought my car to the same dealer and they told me I needed a rear brake job, both pads and rotors. They said the pads were at 3mm on the left rear and 1mm and metal to metal on the right rear. $600 dollars, plus tax. I don't understand how pads can go from 8mm to 3mm in three weeks. I had only driven 259 miles between appointments. No warning lights came on and the only indication was the noise. The dealer said all the breaking systems were fine and workinkg properly after they did the brake job. There is no way that could have happened in 259 miles. Even if the first inspection was a mistake or the tech was taking short cuts, the fact that it wore out rear brakes at under 23000 miles should make a recall. Honda had a similar problem in 2010 and had a recall.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that he noticed that the driver's side seat failed to adjust as needed with an abnormal clicking. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced the failure to TSB 17047 (Clicking from the Driver Power Seat While Using the Height or Tilt Adjustment); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.
Fuel Injectors, head gasket, cooling system
My airbag light comes on than goes off for a bit than comes on for a few months With only 1200 miles I needed braces and rotors , since the metal used was rusted out and worn
The contact’s wife owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while he or his wife was driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that he was able to maneuver the vehicle off the road however, he had to wait several minutes to restart the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated followed by several unknown warning lights being intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several unknown dealers however, the cause of the failure could not be determined or duplicated. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V314000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
I have a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t 6MT. The car is up to date on recalls (BCM and backup camera update were completed). The car had been sitting in the garage for the last day and a half. I took a 7 mile round trip in light rain to Lowe’s. On the way back, I was on a service road going about 50mph, downshifted into 3rd gear and hit the gas. The tires slipped a little and the car went into limp mode. The car immediately started decelerating and the check engine light started flashing. The throttle barely accepted any input. I drove it home slowly in limp mode. I had to let several cars pass me. At home I turned the car off and back on and the car was perfectly normal. Limp mode was gone. Nobody's safety was severely at risk during this incident but if this happens on the highway it could be deadly. There are many people on Accord forums that seem to have experienced the same issue. I could not find a Honda TSB for the 6MT Accord. The car is available for inspection upon request.
Engine misfire causing limp mode. Dealer says head gasket blown. When misfire happens, all driver safety system warnings display. Car goes into limp mode which is dangerous if on high speed road. First appeared Oct-10-2022 with 59k miles on vehicle. Second appeared Nov-29-2022 with 60,300 miles on vehicle. Honda refuses to cover expense of replaceing head gasket and determining root cause.
All of my safety features in my car when it comes to driving down the road have completely failed. Adaptive cruise control lane assist brake system errors. The car just stops in the middle of the road. And it will pull the car the car to the left or right thinking that there’s something in the road and there’s not it’s very dangerous.
While driving in stop and go traffic on the highway with the adaptive cruse control system enabled the system will suddenly stop working. A message appears on the dashboard information panel "Braking Mitigation System Error/Failure: Bring to Dealer". This has occurred twice in 2022, and once or twice in 2021. When the car is turned off, then restarted, the system appears to reset itself. I brought the car to the dealership, they ran a "Diagnostic" and told me they detected software errors and needed to do a "Flash" reset, and that it was not covered under warranty. I contacted the Honda Corporation and provided my service records, and details of the incident. They were lacking in enthusiasm to investigate the issue, as they were more interested in informing me that the vehicle was over the 36,000 mile warranty period. There was no collision, but that does mean there won't be in the if there is a software malfunction with the Braking Mitigation System. I feel the Honda Corporation is not taking this safety issue seriously.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle started driving rough. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and noticed that the vehicle had lost motive power and would not accelerate. The vehicle was towed the dealer and the contact was informed that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Hello, On 12/19/2022 when I started my 2018 Honda Accord EX 1.5L it started giving me all the warning lights at a time and suggested me see Honda dealer. I took it nearby Honda dealer and they diagnosed the issue and found that there is issue with fuel injector CODED PO301 CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE 1st - CLEARED CODES Upon rescanning - recorded multiple misfires on cylinder 2,swapped coils and plugs no change misfire did not follow. Failed Air Fuel Test – Step 1: Replace Fuel injectors with Fuel Pipe AND CHECK VALVE CLEARANCE (Valve Adjustment). And Honda dealer mentioned that it is not covered by warranty.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the air bags, brakes, TPMS, and emission warning lights illuminated. The failure nearly caused a collision. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the ECU needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Well I've had the car for about a year now and it has been good for the first few months, then I ran into a snag. All the orange warning lights for my safety features popped up and the vehicle was applying the brakes on its own. So I took it to the dealership and they told me it was a taillight, so I spent 500 bucks on one. Well after a month it's started to do it again this time worse, and it got so bad. I've had to pull over to the side of the road and restart the car because it kept braking while on the highway. Fast forward months down today and it's still doing it except much much worse. I tried to trade it in because I don't feel safe with vehicle anymore. But where I owe so much on it they won't let me get something else, so I'm stuck with it. I've made an appointment to see if they could check it out but at this point I just want it paid off and I want something else.
Cylinder 2 misfire with check check engine light on and limp mode activated. Dealer diagnosis revealed a blown head gasket at 95,000 miles with coolant leaking into cylinder # 2 & 3. Vehicle always serviced on time and at purchasing dealer with no mods to vehicle.
2018 Honda Accord 1.5 with 56k miles: while driving on the freeway, all the warning lights came on and jerked. Pulled over for a safety measure and turned engine off and turned it back on. Error code did not clear. My first initial thought was a file injector issue. Took it to the shop, After diagnosis, they said it was a misfiring (I’m like ok) they replaced coil and spark plug. After 1-2 months, tissue had came back. I checked a error code and it was another misfire. After a thorough search, looks like Honda has been having issues with fuel injectors but is not acknowledging the problem. They keep getting a misfire code on cylinder 4, but after checking the coil and spark plugs they said nothing is wrong.
Went to drive my car all the warning lights were going off, emissions warning, collision mitigation system disabled etc. Lack of power so parked car and took to dealership. Dealership said it is the fuel injectors and need replaced.
One day all the car warning lights came on. After I backed out of the driveway, I placed the car in drive and tried to accelerate. When I stepped on the gas pedal the car barely accelerated. It barely moved. I turned of the engine and turned it back on again and the car was ok again, but this keeps happening from time to time. I've had the car checked a few times, but mechanics weren't sure what's wrong with the car. They keep getting a misfire code on number one, but after checking the spark plugs they said nothing is wrong with the spark plugs.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that various warning lights were illuminated while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as a computer malfunction. The contact was informed that there was no remedy for the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V771000 (Electrical System, Back Over Prevention, Visibility/Wiper, Visibility, Exterior Lighting) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
While driving at highway speeds the automatic emergency braking will trigger. First the flashing of the dash and then the audible beeping and then the car brakes very hard and then releases without anyone ahead of me.
WHILE DRIVING, ON THREE ACCOUNTS MY HONDS ACCORD INDEPENDENTLY APPLIED BRAKES WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON GAS PETAL. THE CAR SLOWED JERKED AND STOPPED. IT REGAINED SPEED AFTER I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OR BACK OR IN BACK OF THE CAR.NO WARNING LIGHT WENT ON. OUR AND OTHERS SAFTY WAS AT RISK WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH NO INPUT FROM DRIVER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED TWICE BY WESTBROOK HONDA WHERE IT WAS BOUHGT NEW. THEY INSTALLED NEW BRAKES ON THE CAR WITH 20 THOUSAND MILES DRIVEN SAYING THIS WAS NORMAL. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN SUGGESTED OTHER THAN THERE WERE LEAVES IN THE WAY OF THE CAMERA. THEY DROVE THE CAR WITH NO ISSUE AND TOLD ME THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM .
I purchase my 2018 Honda Accord 1.5l Touring as a second owner from a Honda dealership when it had one previous owner and only 14,000 miles on it. Since the day I drove away the vehicle would shake slightly for a few seconds upon a cold start up. I really didn't think much of it at first because I have never had a Honda and it quickly would stop. Fast Forward about 14 days Lateran I was getting on the highway and when I went to move from the on ramp into a lane the car suddenly went into limp mode and every light on the dashboard came on. I was almost killed by a semi truck no joke. I then had it towed to the dealership and they called me literally one hour after they opened and said it was just because my tail light was getting water (this made zero sense to me but I said ok). Turns out that they magically figured out what the issue was (because it would happen once every couple months) right after warranty was up. They claim it is the fuel injectors and they need to be replaced at the cost of $1,600. This is insane and clearly a major issue they are ignoring.
With no object in front of the vehicle, the early warning braking system will activate and apply brakes. This is a very serious failure in the system. I have been able to avoid accidents only due to no cars being behind me when these brakes are applied. This is very dangerous at all speeds, but more so higher speeds.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated the rearview camera was inoperable. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V629000 (Back Over Prevention, Visibility) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,300.
The contact owned a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS), the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), and the Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. Additionally, the contact stated that upon parking and turning off the vehicle, the doors failed to unlock. The contact stated that he was unable to unlock the doors by pressing the door lock switch or the key fob. The contact stated that his wife and himself remained locked in the vehicle for 30-45 minutes while the inside vehicle temperature rose to approximately 115 degrees F. The contact notified his friend who pulled the driver’s side door several times from the outside and the door opened. Both the contact and his wife exited the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle was traded in. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
The parking brake will randomly disengage when the car is parked, so I have to leave it in gear as a backup.
The right side, passenger side, front control arm has a crack which is propagating across the structure. I am concerned about loss of steering control if the structure fractures completely. I found the crack during an oil change. I am the only person aware of the issue. I have NOT had it inspected by the service department at a Honda dealer. I plan to replace this control arm.
Automatic braking has randomly come on, causing harm or injury to those traveling in the vehicle. The few times that is has engaged has never been due to a close vehicle or object in front of the car.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the ABS and airbag warning lights and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated intermittently. The contact that the warning lights had since remained illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle abruptly stopped without the driver’s input. The contact was able to continue driving immediately after each failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel injectors and parking brake switch had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,690.
I got a B1 maintenance not that long ago and they said everything was fine but fast forward like 3 months later, my breaks start clunking and it sounds like it’s metal to metal and I don’t even drive fast like a crazy person or anything and I get a warning that pops up sometimes talking about a supplemental air bags error and that the passenger air bags turned off. My 2018 Honda Accord 2.0t Sport with 41k miles is just acting super super strange. It sucks because I just bought this car like a year ago. Please help me.
Braking system caused my daughter to have an accident. My 2018 Honda Accord sport has been braking on its own for quite some time now. I attempted to turn off all safety features but somehow missed the braking system feature. The car will brake on its own with nothing in front of it. It will give beeping noises and flash “brake” on the dashboard. On 10/12/2022 my daughter was on the interstate, the roads were wet with heavy traffic. She called me saying that she had an accident. The officer stated that speeding played a part in causing the accident. My daughter said the car just started beeping and she noticed she was going to slow in traffic so she preceded to get in the right lane. Upon doing so she said that my car just started spinning and she took her foot off the gas and never applied pressure to the brakes. She ended up on the other side of the road hitting a guard rail. I feel like the braking system played a huge part in this accident.
The sensor is located under the license plate, and because of it being so low, anything that hits it on the road, such as a rock or insects, the sensor gets triggered. There’s no protective cap on it. And every single light turns on the dash. Such as the collision, lane departure, brake system and cruise control.
While driving the vehicle loses power in traffic or on highway. The brakes won’t stop and the gas won’t accelerate. It’s like the car dies the light all come on reading warnings Break mitigation system, Break ABS loss of engine power. I have had this looked at by the dealership and they just replaced the battery and the problem keeps occurring. I’m scared as I travel with small children. I hope this matter is looked into because it cause myself and other having the same issue a serious accident.
Periodically, at various speeds while driving, the “Brake” light will flash and sound on the dashboard, and there’s nothing in front of me. It causes the vehicle to brake and slow down drastically. It happens more often while driving at freeway speeds on the freeway. The vehicle will also light up with “Lane Departure” and will self correct when there is no need. I was informed by the dealer service department that “It probably was a glare from the sun or there was a reflection that caught the sensor to cause it to brake and do that.” It would happen at different times if the day.
While driving using ACC, the warning message “Crash mitigation not working” comes on out of nowhere and the cruise control stops working. This has happened multiple times. Also, About a month ago, my whole left side of the dash completely stopped working. CAM DTC are the error codes and cruise control and necessary functions just stopped working all together. It feels very unsafe and unreliable.
driving and without any vehicles nearby the brake lights came on and car brakes activated to a hard stop.
While I was driving at 45mph and there was no vehicle/object in the object, Automatic Emergency Braking was applied and released. Luckily there wasn't any vehicle right behind otherwise I could have been rear ended. This whole experience was quite shocking and it took me a while to recover from it.
You lose power while driving than it stalls to about 20 mph Emmission warning lights come on. After cool down the car will drive normal speed again for a short time before it repeats itself driving 20 mph with emission warning light coming on. It is a very hazardous condition and dealerships can’t figure anything out. We have spent 1600.00 on fuel ejectors And car still doing the same thing. Next morning my husband drive it to work and was put in a hazardous condition.
Climate controls and dual climate control worked fine 1 week ago. However, as of yesterday (September 17, 2022), not only is the dual climate control not working, but I am NOT able to get heat from any vents after raising the temperature to 80°F. Currently the passenger's side vents blow cold air conditioned air, while driver's side doesn't. Moreover, air from driver's side vents feel tepid cool regardless of temperature setting. Winter is approaching, heat in the car will be needed to defrost windows.
Hi my car the date Monday 12 September 2022. The car don't start and on the display is warning. Brake system problem. Parking brake not available. Brake performance may be reduced. The rear right caliper side is all broken complete internally. This is a real safety problem.
2018 Accord Sport 1.5T - got a tune-up at around 98,000 miles. 1 month later, car went into 'limp' mode while trying to accelerate. Check engine code indicated misfire on cylinder 3. Had to have it towed - dealer found it also misfiring on cylinder 4 and determined it was a defective spark plug since they had just replaced all of them. 1 month later, did the same thing. Took it to a different dealer and they put a camera into each cylinder and found that cylinder 3 and to a lesser extent cylinder 4 were dirty. They are saying that head gasket is leaking coolant into the cylinders and recommending cylinder head replacement. This poses a safety issue as it is dangerous if the car won't accelerate when you expect that it should. Standard internet search indicates that this seems to be a fairly common issue with this particular engine (1.5T).
While driving, supplemental restraint system warning light comes on, approximately once per week.
I was driving on the highway at about 45 mph when the car suddenly came to a stop without my touching the brake ( It wasn't as if the brakes were slammed on: the stop was relatively smooth but quick}. When I tried to use the accelerator to speed up, there was no response. I was unable to pull off the highway. I'm not sure what I did next, but I think I touched the brake. Within about 30 seconds I was able to resume using the accelerator. I don't think this was operator error. I drive this car infrequently, and it operates differently from the Tesla that I usually drive. But I don't think I was the cause of this.
I have noticed a few times, at least 3 I can recall in the past year I’ve had the vehicle. The most recent being, i had just merged into a left lane. Traffic was light as it was around 8am going the opposite direction of heavy traffic and I was taking my child to school, and my car suddenly jerked like a hard brake motion. I could also hear what sounded like the abs trying to stop the car, kind of like thump but followed by a deep grinding sound like when you suddenly slam on the brakes. I looked to my side and there was no cars near me just the vehicle that was a few cars ahead of me and no one behind. The car was drove fine after that but it worries me that it could do it at the wrong time.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
I have had this vehicle since June 2018 and I have not had any issues until the last month or so. The first incident happened while driving to work and it was raining, when I turned into the parking lot a number of warnings started going off : Electric Parking Brake System Problem, Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Electric Power Steering System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem. Parked my car, went in my office and called the dealership. They told me it was most likely because of the rain and that the issue should resolve on it's own. By lunch time it had stopped raining, went to get lunch and the warnings were gone, but now when accelerating I would lose power. So I go the the dealership, they check to see what the issue is and they can't find anything. Told me to come back if it does it again. Few weeks later, driving down the interstate going 75 and I start losing speed for no reason and car almost crashes into me due to the dramatic decrease in speed and once again all the warnings are back on - but it's not raining this time! Honda can't find any issues and I'm so frustrated because it's a danger to me!
I tried starting my car today and it show me a brake system warning “ electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available see your dealer” And it didn’t let me start my car.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle began to brake independently. The contact stated that the hill start assist failure, traction control, ACC, brakes, stability control, Collision mitigation, and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the EZ Pass sensor, the battery, and e-brake switch needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.
I have a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0. Twice it left me stranded on the side of the road due to a failing fuel pump. the first time it kicked back on after an hour and all the lights turned off so they said a diagnostic cannot be performed. The second time I was driving in the middle of the road and the engine cut off and would not start, luckily I had some space to pull over but I was still in traffic and I called a tow truck. It took 6 1/2 hours to finally get it to the Honda dealership and they told me my fuel pump had failed and there is a recall for 2018 2.0s but not my specific Vin so I have to cover the cost. It’s $1055 plus taxes even though there’s an active recall for other 2018 2.0‘s but not my exact vehicle. The part is on back order and can take up to a month they are providing no service car and no help on the recall.
The car rear brakes are wearing down very quick. I replaced the rotors and the brake pads because the pads were actually rubbing the metal on the rotors. I replaced all original rotors and brake pads and about 10k miles, the rear brakes are making a metal to metal would. It seems like the rear brakes are engaged even though the parking brake and the foot is not on the brake pedal.
While driving the whole dash board lights up staring break issues, lane departure issues. The car starts julring on ewsy. I was terrified. Then I moved off eway because the car breaks automatically on its own and slows down. The cars are flying around me. It turns out it's the fuel pump. I assume all accords are having fuel pump issues because I was told it would be October before I would receive a fuel pump on a 3yr old Honda sport. Please investigate and recall. This vehicle is having fuel pump issues and could kill someone when it breaks on the eway out of nowhere, slows down and dash board lights up. I was very lucky. It could've easily cased a major accident.
Failing fuel injectors. Stalls vehicle in highway. May cause accident/collision.
software error causing intermittent disruptions in communication between the PCM . Car suddenly wouldn't start on multiple occasions have had vehicle checked many times not battery, not alternator, not starter it was deemed on 9/1 it's the PCM board failing to properly communicate...
Paint peeling off 3 spots.
All warning lights of my Honda accord turned on/off 4 months ago. The dealership inspected my car and told me that problem is the fuel injectors and he cleaned them but they might need replacement if the problem comes back. After one day the engine light turned on and sometimes all the warning lights which caused disabling the ADAS function. I took my Honda to the dealer again and said the fuel injectors have a problem, they need replacement. The dealer stated that it is not covered by the powertrain warranty. He quoted me $1767.00 which I cannot afford, I did my search online there are many Honda accord 2018 that reported the same problem so I believe it is a defective part from the manufacture
Extended highway driving(500+miles). Collision Mitigation Problem continues to show as alert in dash. Does seem to reset when vehicle turned off and back on but this is not a new problem and a major reason for purchase
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance sensor activated independently, causing the vehicle to stall. The contact stated that the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,593.
I Honda Accord recently has been displaying up to 17 error messages out of the blue. It doesn’t matter if I’m going 30 mph or 80 mph. It happens randomly and there is a power loss associated with it. It is happened to me on the highway and was extremely scary. I have disconnected the battery and the lights will go off for a little bit but randomly Sometimes the same day sometimes a day after all of the lights will come back on and all of the safety feature shut off. i’ve spoke with Honda and they have no known understanding of this happening but there are many many forums of this happening between multiple models of their vehicles around the 2018 range.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 mph, the vehicle went into limp mode and shut down. The accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to move. The engine warning indicator light was flashing. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
Rear break pads and rotors worn quickly at 17K miles. Inspected by honda dealer. Installed new brakes and rotors at Mavis Discount Tires and worned out again in 8 months from installation date.
On July 31st, 2022 at approximately 1135AM Central Time on I-90 westbound near Dekorra, WI when passing a tow truck in the middle lane as I was in the right most lane the Automatic Emergency Brake system sounded visual and audio alerts urging me to a *Brake Now*. Adaptive Cruise Control was engaged at approximately 73mph.
The suspension is off idk what it is. I haven’t in done anything to my car I’m the only person that drives it. I keep getting two notifications 1. Supplemental restraint problem see dealer 2. Lane assistant (power(electric) steering problem see dealer.
AC not cooling brand new car
My vehicle has activated the collision avoidance/emergency braking on numerous occasions for no reason. I have taken it to my local Honda dealer for this problem, and since they cannot recreate it, they claim there is no problem. It generally happens when there are lines in the road, or a change in the color or the road surface. It happened again last week while I was traveling on US 301 near Maxville Fl. There is road resurfacing going on, therefore one lane is a lighter asphalt, and the other lane is dark. I was going about 60 mph, changed lanes, and the car slammed on the brakes and displayed the brake warning on the instrument panel. Fortunately, no one was behind me. This is the typical behavior of the car when it happens
Twice while driving on 110S in morning rush hour traffic, I get a lane departure warning and the car starts braking. I am not sure if the system is designed to do that but it was a bit scary.
Driving at 70 mph on interstate 74 in cruise control the vehicle automatically braked on its own nearly causing a rear end collision by the semi following. Vehicle then proceeded to de-rate down to 40 mph and would not accelerate beyond this causing us to drive down the highway with our hazards on over an hour home. Additionally, after making it home every warning lights for adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, power steering assist, lane keep assist, etc. continue to come on and off. Vehicle was just at the local Honda dealership where they did a recalibration, to which I just picked up and within 10 miles of driving the vehicle every warning light is back in and vehicle de-rated again. Vehicle is very unsafe to drive and at this point a danger to myself, family and others on the road.
at approximately 30,000 the air conditioning began blowing warm air.
I bought this vehicle 8-25-2021. It had 22,000 miles on it. It now has 46,000 miles on it. I was feeling a vibration while driving. 7-31-2022 coming back from Louisiana into Texas I had a flat. When my husband removed the back tire to place the spare on, the tire was absolutely eaten up on the inside wall. There were chunks of rubber missing from the tire and we looked at other rear tire and it was worn beyond repair. I took my car 8-1-2023 to have 2 new back tires replaced and get an alignment, which has to be all wheel alignment due to front wheel drive. I was told that the rear camber had gone out. They quoted me $1000 to repair. I drive 40 miles one way to work Monday through Friday all highway. I do not drive over the speed limit and do not hit pot holes or curbs. Nowhere in my manual is there a schedule for alignment. I will attach a picture of the tires that were taken off 8-1-2022. This very upsetting and dangerous. I would think that a part that serious would last longer than 46,000 miles. And no one can align the tires do to this camber being broken. I don’t have the money to replace tires that often due to a defect on Honda America. I have read numerous posts from other Honda owners having this same issue. Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a blessed day.
I had taken my vehicle in to dealership on multiple occasions for the vehicle stating “road departure mitigation system problem” multiple times and every time I was told there wasn’t an issue. Eventually the system completely stopped working and the dealership wanted to charge me over $3,000 because I was about 5,000 miles over warranty. I never fixed it. 2 years it hasn’t worked until one day my car randomly braked on its own as the system just started working out of no where almost causing an accident. Thankfully no one hit me from behind. But then it yet again isn’t working. Seems a default that continues to happen. And I’m worried it will happen again with my child in the back and someone slamming into me due to a system issue on the vehicle. I also included other errors that have occurred with this same issue but it goes away and didn’t happen as often as the collision mitigation issue. I put 2 months ago because that’s when the car randomly braked on me while driving on a busy road and that system is suppose to be “out” not working at all. But this all happened over 2 years ago when it went out and dealer said I didn’t need it for my vehicle to work correctly. dealership has all paperwork for everytime I took in the vehicle to have it looked at for this
While driving with two bars on the dashboard fuel level indicator, the car engine stalled and failed to accelerate. System warnings and dashboard lights for TPMS, Brake System, Power Steering, and others illuminated. Lights went away after re-fueling. This happened multiple times. Checked battery and found no issues. I believe this vehicle is affected by the fuel pump recall, but for some reason no open recalls show up on the search tool
The backup camera could not display the image correctly. The color is distorted. It is hard to see objects/humans on the backup camera that pose a safety risk for myself and others. The problem has been confirmed by a dealer. There were no warning lamps or messages about the backup camera failure.
I got a Collision Mitigation Braking System warning while driving at a high speed > 60 mph on the Interstate with adaptive cruise control turned on. The system suddenly cuts off speed and lost cruise control. I have to stop on road side, turn off the car and restart it for the warning go away.
Four incidents of car braking on its own. Three on highway and one in town. On highway no other vehicle was near us.
Engine light started blinking and engine started missing and lost power while on highway
The car’s Collision Mitigation system stops working for no reason, causing me to completely lose my cruise control until I can turn off the car and restart it. This has happened in stop-and-go traffic on the Interstate while the car is under the control of the adaptive cruise control as well as while driving down the road with absolutely no other cars around me. Suddenly the system cuts off and the Collision Mitigation Warning message comes on. The Honda dealership has no response to this. I have had the car since September 2021, and this occurs approximately 3 times per month.
Collision Mitigation braking system has engaged several times while driving in the city and Highway when there are no obstructions. Speeds vary from 35mph to 60mph.
Cmbs lights came on and power steering, after that low air pressure on tire
POTENTIALLY FATAL BRAKE FAILURE DEFECT IN ELECTRONIC BRAKE CALIPER ACTUATOR. REPAIR SHOP (719) 528-5666 SAID METAL-ON-METAL FOR DRIVER-SIDE REAR BRAKE.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH, there was an abnormal grinding sound coming from the rear-end of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the electronic brake actuator was fully engaged causing the metal to rub together. The contact stated that the driver’s side rear no longer had functioning brakes. The contact was informed that the electronic brake actuator and brake caliper needed to be replaced. The dealer was contacted; however, the contact was unable to speak with a representative. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000. The consumer stated the vehicle was repaired at owners expense.
Quite simply we were driving through a construction zone that was down to one lane with monitored traffic. My wife was driving and approaching a steel plate in the road that was laid on top of existing asphalt. While slowing down to move over the plate at a slower rate of speed the automatic breaking brought the car to an unnecessary stop almost causing a collision from behind. This was super scary and alarming. Will this happen if we are going 35, 55, 70 mph?
The locking mechanism has been malfunctioning. The key fob does not open the driver door and the internal button in the vehicle works sporadically. Opening this door requires a key. This has been an ongoing issue for years but is now at its worst.
The vehicle on two separate occasions has out of the blue completely engaged in an automatic emergency braking when there is no reason to and no other vehicles on the road. Most Recently I went to merge on the highway, there was no traffic infront of me and it was sunny and daytime. The vehicle engaged the emergency braking very aggressively and my car went from 65-35 quickly. There was a car and semi truck behind me I could see in my rear view mirror, they almost ran into the back of me. In the moment I tried hitting the gas pedal to speed back up while braking was still happening and the car would not allow me to accelerate or speed up until the ‘braking’ portion was over. This is happened numerous times going on on ramps and then randomly driving down the road, and not when there’s a reason to emergency brake. Three months ago when I got the vehicle I was driving down the highway and the system randomly disengaged and every single warning light for the braking system and Ford collision came on. I pulled over and called Honda, when I restarted the car all of the lights and everything went away. I’m in multiple Honda Accord groups and apparently this is a very common issue with these cars just wanted to add that as well
The A/C system in the car blows hot air and since I have purchased the car in 2018 I had to replace the condensor three times. When the A/C is not working the car get very hot in the auto cabin. The car is almost undrivable.
Rear brakes are wearing very quickly
Going about 10mph down a side street when emergency brake automatically caused my car to stop but nothing was in front of me. Car came to a complete abrupt stop which jolted me forward, but then resumed driving like normal. Yes available for inspection as it has not been taken in or inspected for this problem, it only happened once. No warning message prior. If this would have happened on a busy street, it could have easily caused an accident.
Two times while driving on the highway at 75-80 mph with CMBS system on and utilizing ACC. Out of nowhere, vehicle drops speed, ACC OFF notice comes on and an alert stating Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem. See dealer pops up. . At this point, I have to quickly react to increase speed on gas pedal and avoid someone hitting me from behind. I am not able to re-engage the ACC the remainder of the travel. After turning off the vehicle, the CMBS resets and ACC is available again. This is not possible to do while driving on a highway. The second time it happened, I was changing lanes into the passing lane on left and I seriously could have been hit due to my speed deceleration. I took the vehicle straight to the dealer and the guy checking me in said they get a lot of those system errors. This is not reassuring! They ran a diagnostic, step by step the advisor said, only to say the system shows no issue. This is not acceptable to me as I do not feel safe driving. In addition, the lane keeping assist LKAS feature also malfunctions. When there are shadows on the road, my car wants to swerve and steer me incorrectly. My car also will display a giant orange BRAKE warning when nothing is in front of me. One time it braked so hard that my seatbelt locked up and everything on my passenger seat slid off the seat. Thankfully, nobody was immediately behind me because I could have been hit for the sudden and unanticipated braking.
Many times since I have purchased my 2018 Accord Touring 1.5T - I have found that sometimes my car will slam on the brakes when doing a lane change. I kind of found that It will do this if I dont have my turn signal indicator on. It is extremely stressful when it does this on the Interstate doing 65 or 70 MPH's. I try to slam the accelerator to the floor when this happens for fear of getting hit from behind. If this normal or a safety defect?
Driving down at approximately 20-30 mph on a clear day. Vehicle in front of me was turning left and I was going straight so I veered right. Vehicle turns on orange brake sign on dash and suddenly pressed the brakes full stop. Good thing no one was behind me. Automatic braking can only be turned off via a physical button on left side and changing settings on dash. This is a frequent problem that happends atleast ones a month.
1. The component/system that failed, malfunctioned, or is defective is unknown. The clinking/rattling noise appears to be coming from the cabin and the right side of the vehicle. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. My safety is put at risk each time I drive the vehicle. The noise sounds like a loose component or system; consumer does not feel comfortable driving the vehicle on the highway. 3. Yes, the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a dealer; a Honda service manager test-drove the vehicle on 8/9/2021 and compared the noise to same/like model; both showed the same noises. 4. No, the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, even though the consumer made a request for the manufacturer (American Honda) to do so. 5. Yes, there were symptoms of the problem prior to the failure; the rattling noise was soft at first, but then became progressively louder.
I had owned a 2018 Honda Accord which I had purchased in 2019. I had owned the car for about 6 months when the situation occurred. I had been about 30-50 before a railroad track and had already slowed down to 30-35 mph at this point. My dash lit up with the word 'brake' and the brakes went on automatically. There was nothing in front of me but the approaching train track which shouldn't set off the sensing function. I had a truck behind me which thankfully didn't hit me although he did blare his horn at me due to the unexpected braking. I went home and started looking online to see if other honda owners had similar experiences. There were stories from driving down the freeway going 70+ mph and having the same issue with nothing in front of them and coming to a complete stop to people having accidents because of the braking issues, etc. The next day, I called Honda and they stated that they were aware of the issues but were not planning on issuing a recall. I called the dealership and spoke to the manager and stated that I was going to return the car that day. He asked if they could check out the brake situation and I stated if Honda knows of the issue but is not planning a recall, then what is the mechanic at the dealership going to fix? I declined his offer and returned the car that evening. When I got to the dealership, the manager wouldn't even come and face me, which was another issue. I sunk money into a faulty car that I will never see back. I went to a different dealership and bought a different brand of car. To this day, if I see another Honda in front of me while driving, I let off of the gas because knowing the braking issue that I had, I don't want to be involved in an accident if they other Honda driver has braking issues.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the speakers were making booming or humming sounds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed there was no failure with the vehicle. The contact researched and found that the vehicle had experienced the failure stated in the Manufacturer Service Bulletin: 21-053. The manufacturer was contacted and they stated that the repair would be an out-of-pocket expense. The failure mileage was 2,000.
My car was purchased new in December 2018. It now has 119,231 miles on it. My problem is that my headlight warning lamps go on the minute I start my car, because moisture has somehow gotten into both headlight assemblies, which causes my headlights to stop working intermittently. I took my car to Keeler Honda in Latham New York to get it fixed, and they gave me a quote to replace two headlights in the amount of $3174.23. My car has never been hit nor has it ever been in an accident. And now I need to replace two headlights and I can’t believe how much money it’s going to cost me. I believe I have defective headlights, and although my car may be out of warranty, I think this is a design issue, and the cost to replace two headlights is unreasonable. I have attached pictures of the right and left front headlights, a picture of my dashboard warning light that comes on when I start my car, and a copy of the estimate I received from Keeler Honda in Latham New York for $3174.23. Just for the headlights alone, the cost is 2624.04. Who has that kind of money to replace 2 headlights? I wonder if I’m the only one with this issue. This is a serious SAFETY HAZARD when I’m on the road and my headlights turn off at night. What can I do? Thank you, Mark Febbie
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
The vehicle gave me a warning for the emergency breaking and began to aggressively brake for no reason. This has happened to me three separate times. Case 1: There were no cars in front of me, a few cars behind but not too close. The vehicle slammed on the breaks from ~50mph to ~25mph aggressively. Thankfully I was not hit, only received a few angry honks from other drivers. Case 2: Driving on the highway at 60-65mph, vehicle slowed down to 30-35mph or so, i was afraid i was going to end up in the hospital if i caused a wreck. Cars were around in other lanes and nobody was in front of me in the 2nd lane. I got off the highway to take a few deep breaths, called the Honda Dealership in Ferndale, Michigan. Dropped my car off a few times to get it looked at, the service department was "unable to duplicate the event" and sent me on my way. I work in front camera modules/windshields releasing at another automotive company so i have experience with this item. I asked for my case to be forwarded to an engineer at honda to help explain the situation and to be connected to them, no luck. Case 3 similar to case 1, but a busier road. Distance was kept from vehicle in front, but my vehicle still decided to "break-check" the car behind me. This was a close one. Now, I typically drive the vehicle with the auto braking feature off (it may not be completely off but i turned it off from the steering wheel menu options). I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L 2.0t. All these cases happened around 28,000miles-40,000miles (two of three cases under warranty, vehicle was taken in 2-3 times during warranty and the last time the dearlership didn't even consider trying to find out the issue once they saw my history of already bringing it in). The front camera module camera void on the windshield was clean and clear 3of3 times, the grille had some dirt/residue 1of3 times which is what the dealership blamed it on. I have received no support for my claims, hence I am reporting it here. Disappointed...
My 2018 Honda Accord brake automatically when it’s nothing in front of me, this has happen 3 times without any car in front of me.The car behind me like to hit me because my car put on brakes automatically.
On 6/6/22 the car had multiple Alarms came on the dashboard (break sys prob,emission prob,road dept mit,collision mit,break sys prot,aac sys prob, hill start asst prob,break performance prob). I called Honda Valley Stream informing them of the above. Got appt 6/8 I was told I would need to leave the car on 6/8 appt. On 6/8 approx 4pm rec a call from them to come get the car. Alarms only needed to be reset and rear camera recall was done. Next day all the alarms plus a few other returned. I went back and forth with Manger. I left the car Sat 6/11.Told it was injection fluid that's covered under warranty. Then later the manager called that it was CO2 built up and $413 to clean and take care of the problem. I paid for it and picked up the car. 6/15 during the day I noticed a problem with the steering and that car kept moving into the other lane , this got worst if I had to use the break. Later that night an alarm for Supplemental Restraint System. Ive notified Honda of Valley Stream of this new issue. Awaiting a resolution.
When driving on the freeway (>50mph) with no obstacles visible in front of me, the Forward Collision System will occasionally cause the HUD to rapidly flash and warn me to “BRAKE”. It will display this message for a couple of seconds before disappearing. I have noticed that this has a higher chance of occurring when I am driving towards the sun.
Three times now I have been driving with no obstructions in front of me and the Automatic Emergency Braking System has flashed "BRAKE" on the dash and then slammed the brakes on. One of the times, I was on the freeway going approximately 60 mph. Everything on the seat next to me went flying and my seatbelt locked, hurting me (I did not see a doctor as it was not necessary). There were no cars or obstructions in front of me. This could have caused a bad accident had someone been behind me at the time. The other two times, people were able to brake in time so as to not cause an accident. This was terrifying. I took it to our local Honda dealership and they simply said everything looks fine and maybe the sensor was dirty. My car was clean at the time on the freeway, and I don't recall if it was the other two times. I did not have my insurance or police look over the car as there was no accident and no need to contact them. But the actual dealership DID look over the car. It all happened suddenly with no warning and no need. The only "warning lamp" was it flashing "BRAKE" on the dash immediately before it slammed on the brakes each time.
2018 Honda Accord 1.5Turbo LX - Fuel Injector Failure at 58,600 - diagnosed at Honda Superstore of Lisle, IL. As a result car has low power, all safety features are deactivated, and emission system is malfunctioning. Submitting this issue as HONDA has had several other models with early fuel injector failure which it has recalled in the past. Please contact me if a fuel injector recall is issued for my car.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the BCM software and multiple unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to THE local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing an unknown software program updated. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The contact ignored the warning lights and continued driving the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a second dealer; Lawley Honda (3200 E Fry Blvd, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635, (520) 333-6353) where the vehicle was diagnosed with needing an unknown computer wire to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, two days later she continued to experience the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Consumer would like to withdrawal complaint.
So Wednesday evening my car started driving bad jerk every time i gave it gas really bad and yesterday morning I was otw to work my car started jerking not accelerating at all all kind of lights flashing acc,emissions system problem, check engine light,brakes,tire pressure monitor and antilock brakes flashed scared me to death I have read its plenty consumer stated they have had the same problems
While driving 35mph and accelerating, emergency braking system deployed. The lights on the dash and audible beeps presented simultaneously. There were no other cars on the road other than a parked vehicle off to the drivers side. Vehicle slowed to around 5mph before releasing. No accident occurred. Honda dealership stated no active recalls were noted and an appointment would take several weeks based on the labor shortages.
On four different occasions vehicle applied the brakes on it’s own while changing lanes. as if there was a hazard in front, however there were no vehicles in front of my vehicle.
Backup camera quit working
The contact owned a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving with cruise control activated at 70 MPH, he released the cruise control and the vehicle crashed into a barrier on the freeway. There were no warning lights. The front and side air bags were deployed. The passenger had injured the right hip by the air bags. The highway patrol notified a tow truck to the scene. The vehicle was originally towed to a salvage lot, then to a collision center. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was claimed as a total loss by the insurance company. The contact went to the police department and filed a report after the crash. There were no medical treatments for the contact or passenger. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Routine and ongoing false and nuisance braking warnings from collision mitigation system. Triggering of the warning is presumably a precursor to erroneous activation of automatic braking.
Our air conditioner stopped working in 2021 and the car is a 2018. I received a recall notice about the air conditioning but cannot find the letter anymore. The car will blow warm air even when the air contrition in on high.
Window cracked on lower left side. Car parked in garage. Came back from work to find 12 inch crack in windshield that did not exist when I parked the car. No signs of impact. Appears to be stress crack without any cause other than a design flaw with the car. Lots of other reports of similar incidents with this model online.
4 year old Accord, 28k miles, garaged, not driven much in the past 2 years. A/C has failed.
Ac stopped working/sometime it blows slightly cool air
The air conditioning stopped blowing cool air. It will only blow warm/hot air despite being on the lowest setting.
My Honda Accord Sport has only 47,500 miles and it needs a new Fuel Rail. Code P2187. I have had Hondas for over 20 years and this has never happened before. I read that some 2018 honda model had extended warranty for Fuel Injectors. The Honda Accord should fall under that extended warranty.
My fuel or engine is having issues. I took it in and they told me my fuel pump needed to be replaced and my injectors were bad. This is an active recall on some this car but not my VIN number... My car has stalled out many times while driving forcing me to pull over and restart my car. I think my VIN needs to be recalled also since this is clearly the same issue.
I was driving on interstate behind line of trucks in construction zone at 55mph. It was raining lightly. When zone ended, I pulled into left lane and accelerated to 70 mph. A semi truck in right lane pulled in front of me, I braked to avoid hitting it. I got within 1-2 car length of semi and suddenly car braked on its own. Brakes fully locked up. I tried to accelerate after car slowed a lot (down 15-20 mph) and considerable distance opened up between us. Car would not allow me to regain ability to accelerate. Car brakes remained locked up until car slid to complete stop in left lane. Car then allowed me to again accelerate. Unknown if braking indicator activated. No trouble lights were illuminated. Almost hit by vehicle behind that had to maneuver to avoid. Have noticed other issues where brakes briefly automatically apply when passing large vehicle in right lane. This seems to be happening more frequently in past year.
Driving in moderate to heavy rain in Ozarks. Car in front. Accelerated hard (under turbo boost) and pulled in left lane to pass. As soon as I got next to car in right lane, my car automatically braked very hard. It then released brake. All kinds of warning lights went off, engine outline (misfire) light was on. Car was in some kind of limp mode. Slowed considerably. Could barely accelerate. Proceeded to drive in this mode at approximately 50 mph for one mile until spot to pull over. Pulled over and shut car off for 30 second. Restarted car and everything was normal. Returned home within one week (400 miles) Checked trouble codes, none present.
I had several incidents where Honda automatically brake without reason. I was driving 75mph and without reason it fully brake and bring my car to complete stop leaving cars to emergency brake. I recently had multiple occasions where it again brake automatically with nothing block in front of the car. The dashboard shows Lane Departure warning, but I am leaving my lane and it automatically brakes unexpectedly. This car must be recalled for safety of everyone on the road!!!
Certain roads on my commute have hills where automatic braking has engaged and almost caused accidents over past year. Also, vehicles crossing in front of me or changing lanes when I have full view, car has braked hard. These incidents have happened at least 8 times in past year. I shouldn't have to disengage safety in order to be safe.
Driving no other car in front of me and my car brake and Pulled to the side. Very scary with my children in the car. My car has sounded as if there was going to brake before without anything if front of me but this time it jerked and pulled to the side. Now I’m going to have to disable this feature on my car as I do not want to be in a accident by because of my vehicle defect.
Car accident head on emergency break didn’t work bad injuries.
Engine suddenly started to have a rough idle. All warning lights turned on. Took car to dealer, left it for 2 days. They said that there was a misfire present on cylinder #3 & that after driving the car, the lights then did not appear. They could not reproduce the error. They recommended that I replace the spark plugs, ignition coils , & have a fuel injection clean done. A few days later, all warnings lights turn on after a rough idle and misfire occurred frequently. Took vehicle to a local shop, they also said there was a misfire present. Local shop also recommended that I replace the spark plugs, ignition coils, and have a fuel injection clean done. I replaced all items and conducted the fuel injection clean as suggested. Problem still exists and is not resolved. Dealer and local shop say that the injectors may need to be replaced as this is a constant issue with this engine. Vehicle has 95,000 miles. Fuel injectors seem to be the culprit. My vehicle is available for inspection. During the misfires, the car suddenly lost engine power and momentum. This was dangerous as this occurred several times on highway driving. The problem has caused a failed vehicle inspection report at a local shop even when warning lights disappeared. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacture, insurance, police, or others. Warning lights and symptoms first appeared on March 31st.
Half of my front and back windows don’t defrost making it hard to see also I keep getting a supplemental restraint system problem
My brakes and rotters had to be changed three times in one year. Honda serviced my vehicle and changed my brakes and rotters at 34000 miles. I had four new tires and a wheel alignment at 36000 miles. I took my car back to Honda for service at 37000 less than I year after Honda replaced the brakes and rotters. I explained that my steering wheel shakes when I hit the brakes. I was informed that I needed brakes and rotters again. Honda refused to replace the brakes and rotters because I was beyond the warranty. I explained that it was under a year since they did the work therefore it should be covered, they refused. I paid to have brakes and rotters replaced on my vehicle in December 2021. It’s now April 2022 and my steering wheel is shaking again and I was informed that I need new breaks and rotters weeks after getting new brakes and rotters for the third time. I am a Honda fan and have drove and rooted for Honda for over 30 years. This experience has changed my perception of the reliable sedan that I once knew. The biggest issue is that Honda could care less about good customer service.
The vehicle fell from jack during roadside tire change. Vehicle was lifted according to instructions in manual. Jacking equipment very lightweight. I was forced to obtain roadside assistance to compete tire change. Jacking equipment is too lightweight for the weight of the car.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision Avoidance feature engaged without incident with the brakes warning light flashing on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.
I am getting warnings of brake system problems including electric parking brake problem says it’s not available, brake hold system problem,brake performance reduced. Adaptive cruise control system problem, collision mitigation problem, and road departure mitigation problem. The car has slowed down on me while on the highway and side streets even when I am trying to accelerate and if I push the pedal all the way down it feels like it is fighting to stop, I’m afraid I am going to get hit from behind due to this. I just brought the car into the dealer for the recalls and mentioned these issues I initially thought the errors codes were maybe due to how cold it’s been because the entire screen also shut off on me then restarted its self minutes later. This car only has 30,000 miles on it.
While driving my vehicle at approximately 25 miles per hour on a cloudy day with temperatures around 55 degrees, I heard a loud bang. Apparently my sunroof exploded without any debris around. As you can imagine, this shocked me and caused a brief panic as to what had just happened. I hope that this would be something that can be avoided in the future for all drivers of Honda so as to not cause a driver to swerve off of the road. Especially a Vet like me.
I was going down the highway and my vehicle came to an abrupt stop. It was in the middle of traffic. I was in NO danger prior to this happening. I almost got rear ended from the truck that was behind me as a result of this, as I had no control over this sudden braking. The truck behind me had to swerve over or it would have hit me. I’ve only had the car for 3 weeks so far. I hope this doesn’t happen again. I’ve disabled all safety features to hopefully prevent it from happening again. The dealer from which I bought my 2018 Accord is aware of the incident. I hope the issue gets resolved soon, for all of us.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System repeatedly indicates low tire pressure. Issue has existed since automobile purchase. Dealer has repeatedly reset the system only to have the TPMS system repeat the warning (four days after most recent reset). Dealer has been unable to resolve the repeated warnings. I feel this system is not measuring the intended tire pressure values properly as the tires have not been underinflated when the warnings activate. The safety system is not operating properly.
This vehicle has made sudden complete stops when there is no object or vehicle in front of it. This has occurred while being on a two lane road so no lane changing needed. It has made such a abrupt stop it has tightened the seat belts and sent a dog that was on the seat to the floor. I do alot of traveling on the highway and this could be very dangerous and cause a bad collision. Took to the dealer and was told nothing is perfect. I am very concerned of when it could happen.
Started car up on morning all lights on dash board came on, took it had it checked by three different car shops, they said the car was showing three misfire codes, had spark plugs put in the car, two weeks later started car let warm left home to go to drop kids off to school and go to work, car started stalling in the middle of traffic I made it to the side of the road my husband who is also a mechanic told me to cut it of for 5 mins, I did so and the car ran find for the rest of the day, next morning same thing happen again me and my husband took it to the Honda dealership, we were told that a recall was in affect for the car by one lady, then another lady said it wasn't on my car it was Accords with 2.0 engine, my husband then started calling around pricing fuel pumps $1300 for a new pump and then come to find out that the 1.5 and the 2.0 engine use the exact same pump, if the pump was recalled for the 2.0 why not the 1.5 that has the same exact pump, the dealership did the recall service that was on my car some kind of software update, next day tried to start my car it did nothing but turn over and would not start after second try it started and all the lights were on in my dash board again, my husband started a google search on my car and found that their are a lot of complaints on this mode all on the same problems I'm having with mind, and a lot of complaints about the transmission in these cars as well, me and my kids could have been hit from the back by another car when the car stalled out, and when all my lights come on in the dash the cars anti crash system along with a lot of other things do work as they should.
Ghost braking for no reason I could be going 70 mph and it'll slam on the breaks with nobody in front of me or anything
I have had multiple instances (since purchasing the vehicle new at the end of the of the 2018 model year (Sept 2018) of my 2018 Honda Accord LX suddenly braking when there was no reason to brake. I talked with my service advisor at Dave Mungenast Honda in St. Louis, MO within the first month of taking delivery of this new vehicle about this issue and was told that nothing is saved (in vehicle memory/hard drive or other) so they would not be able to diagnose unless it had just happened prior to driving in for service. I said it was dangerous but no one was concerned (I told my kids about this and don't let them drive this car, I bought a 2022 Honda Civic also with Honda Sensing safety system (with auto braking etc.) and no issues with this car, after 8000 miles, zero issues like the 2018 Accord, none.) They said its likely just their Honda Sensing auto/safety braking system activated and its not perfect. They said if I'm still concerned and when or if it happens again feel free to drive directly to their service department (not practical, since they are not open 24/7 and often not possible to disrupt daily routine. It has happened at least 10+ times since the initial scary episode and I only have about 23,000 miles on this car (with little driving last two years during pandemic). I have had it happen in exactly the same spot 2-3 times. Whenever this happens, it's always the same, the dashboard lights up saying "BRAKE" while the vehicle simultaneously/suddenly applys the brakes, fairly hard. The brakes have never locked up completely but the auto braking is a sudden unexpected moderate to hard brake, only lasting a second or two, and then the braking automatically releases. I'm officially reporting this now, even though my events are not as recent, because I just learned other are experiencing the same issue and I believe this should be addressed by Honda and corrected before someone is injured or killed in a rear end collision.
Transmission unable to go into reverse. Terrible vibration when shifting and abrupt deceleration. Required a new transmission.
Two times, pulling into my driveway at a slow speed, the car automatically stopped suddenly. There were no shadows to provoke this. I have not seen a dealer about this because I did not want to incur any fees. No warning, no dash lights appeared and no other messages were displayed. The first occurrence happened about 3 months ago, the second was about 4 weeks ago.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. The Collision Mitigation Braking System, check engine, Lane Departure, brake warning lights and other unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts and continued to drive. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the spark plugs were replaced; however, the warnings illuminated while driving hours later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the injectors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under an unknown extended warranty as the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
In the past 2 weeks, my Honda Accord has suddenly started braking without reason. Once this was on the interstate, the other time it was on an exit ramp from a state highway. I did notice that on the exit ramp, the front of the vehicle was looking into the sun. I have no idea if that can help pinpoint this issue, but I wonder if the cameras/sensors on the front of the vehicle got 'confused' by the high amount of light. This did not cause an accident, but it did cause me great anxiety.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the Collision Mitigation Braking System engaged abruptly while there were no objects or other vehicles nearby. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and continued to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while another vehicle from the opposite lane was approaching the vehicle. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no open recalls associated with the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
I was driving my car and was at the time passing through an intersection and I had no car in front or back of me and out of nowhere my car showed an alert to "BRAKE" and the car slammed on the brakes for me and brought the car to an almost complete stop. This appears to be the phenomenon called Phantom braking and it was terrifying if someone had been behind me.
Automatic braking was activated on several occasions when there was no car or object in sight. This happened twice on the interstate at 70 mph speeds and once along a 40 mph road. Thankfully nobody was close behind or i would have been rear ended and hurt. The dealer says they have no complaints of this issue. Now every time i start the car i turn of the forward collision braking, because i don't trust this software Honda uses. Honda needs to do a software update to deactivate this until they can figure out what the problem is. There were no warning lights prior to or now on this car.
While driving the car infotainment system blacks out and reboots. Causing a lost of direction and confusion while driving. Will be contacting the dealership for an inspection.
1. Airbag light on the dash always stays on when the car is turned on. My mechanic checked and said the passenger weight sensor needs to be replaced. 2. Sometimes on cold start all kinds of warning light comes on. See picture for example
Braking system- phantom braking happens with no vehicle or obstacles in front of my vehicle. Possible rear end collision. No warning lamps before braking occurs.
Breaks came on for no apparent reason and put vehicle into a side ways skid. Lane Landed up in meridian .
1. Car periodically brakes on its own, sometimes when no other cars are around vehicle. It is available for inspection upon request. In the 3 years I've owned the car, it has done it numerous times, once on the expressway. 2. The last incident of this happening, I was almost involved in a rear end collision, thankfully the car behind me was at a safe distance. 3. After reading articles about this problem I phoned my dealership 3/1/2022 and spoke with someone in the service department. To my surprise, he denied knowing anything about this problem! 4. No inspection has been done for this problem. 5. My BRAKE warning message did appear during some of these incidents.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at 25 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact drove safely to an unknown dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with spark plugs and electrical failures. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact was unable to access several features in the vehicle during the failure. Additionally, the contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle would shake and vibrate abnormally. The spark plugs and rear sensors replaced by an independent mechanic however, the failure persisted. The local dealer was contact and informed of the failure however, the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
I own a 2018 honda accord sport on 7 different time's in the last four years my car has made sudden stop all by itself i have talk to the dealer about it but when they check it out they say everthing is fine and they don't know why it did it. It's happened 3 time on the freeway and the other four times in arround town driving. speed ranged from 15 miles an hour up to 70.
I want to report that I experienced the random emergency braking that you are currently investigating. It only happened once, about a month ago: I was driving along a paved country road on a straightaway (~40mph). Daytime/clear, dry paved roads. There was no traffic in either direction and no wildlife in my path. The car braked very hard very suddenly. The brake warning light did come on. Had there been someone behind me, my car would have been rear-ended. I was alone and uninjured. I did not report this to the dealer, even though I'm POSITIVE that there was no visible object in the roadway that would trigger the sudden braking.
The emergency braking anti collision system will engage when I am driving and there is nothing in front of me, regardless if there is a car or even a shadow the system will start to engage. I've had this happen on multiple occasions whether driving on a highway or neighborhood street. This has not been inspected by anyone yet and has not yielded any damage or accidents just yet.
Door lock actuator. When I push my remote to lock the door it continues to run and grind for a bit. Taking to dealership for diagnosis. I read this is an ongoing issue with Honda vehicles.
Vehicle was placed into service June 2018 and ever since randomly will apply the brakes without driver input even when no obstacles are present. This has happened more than 25 times. There is no rhyme or reason for it, it just happens out of the blue. Luckily, the driver can override the automatic braking by quickly depressing the gas pedal.
I was driving and there were no objects or obstructions near my car when all of a sudden the car randomly breaks on its own for no reason. It startled me and jolted me forward. Luckily I was only going about 40mph at the time and nobody was behind me. I thought it was strange and didn't think anything of it. Then I saw an article about other people having these same issues and it reminded me about what happened. I traded the car in and told the dealer what happened. They said they would take a look at it, but never heard anything about what caused it or why it happened.
For the past three years, I have leased a 2018 Honda accord which I got for my wife and my child due to the "safety features " Of the vehicle. But all of a sudden throughout the years it has been breaking out of nowhere while driving on the highway with no objects obstructing front or sides. It was a kind of scary going from 70 mph for almost a complete stop in the times that it happened luckily there was no vehicle following close behind of could have been a pretty bad rear-end collision. I never took the vehicle in for repairs as it did it a total of 5 times in the three years. Now that I have purchased the vehicle it has a front camera issue that has disabled all safety driving features which are being looked into. The fact that other know Honda owners have experienced the same issue seems like a Honda needs to look into this problem.
The contact's wife owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various highway speeds, the vehicle would independently downshift as an orange "brake" warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel. They had taken the vehicle to a dealer where they found no fault with the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
2018 Accord tachometer LCD just black no showing of anything at all. Can’t see no mileage no information at all.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced unintended braking. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. Contact checked too see if Honda had a recall for this issue. It did not.
I purchashed the Honda Accord new and it has 17,800+ miles. As I am driving usually highway driving it just suddenly decides to brake without my foot on the brake pedal. There doesn't seem to be any regular pattern. It has happened several times always on the highway at speed. A week ago it happened on a Sunday morning, changed lanes to ge into the off ramp lane and without warning it applied the brake. Fortunately there was nobody behind me. Thank you and if I can provide any furthe information please let me know. I do think there should be a recall issued to fix the problem.
My vehicle randomly applies the brakes during normal driving with no obstacle in its way. This happens intermittently but poses danger as there will be no car in front of me so applying the brakes and halting my car could cause the car behind me to drive into my vehicle.
The adaptive cruise and emergency braking systems. Driving on the highway the car suddenly brakes as if a car is right in front of you. There is no car in front. The dealer has not been able to confirm as this happens so at random. There was no warning that the system would suddenly brake. This has happened 3-4 times in the past year
Vehicle safety collision system has tried to stop my vehicle on at least 3 occasions when nothing was in front of it. Happened on highway. Vehicle sensed a ghost and slammed on the brakes. The cmbs system gives errors often and tries to shut systems down and brake the car while traveling. Happens often and has happened since the car was new. Dealer has no idea about issues.
From time to time my AEB will flash on my dash. A lot of my driving is highway so I can be driving anywhere between 40-65 mph given the road I'm on. On two separate occasions my car has flashed and braked abruptly while I was doing about 50 mph. The brake indication still flashes sometimes, the most recent was today.
The car will automatically brake itself when no car in anywhere close to being in front of me. This only happens when I am going from the current lane to a left hand turn lane. It only happens when I do NOT have my blinkers activated. The braking does NOT happen when I use my blinkers. My best guess is the the use of the blinkers deactivates or overrides the sensors. This issue only happens at one particular turn near my house. I believe it has something to do with the lines painted on the road and how the sensors are reading them, but that is just a theory. This happens every time I drive by this intersection.
I will just be driving down the highway and sometimes the orange BRAKE light will light up and sometimes it will light up and just start slowing down. Several times I will be the only car moving thru an intersection with a green light and it will light up BRAKE and hit the brake. Not being ready to brake for no reason it throws us forward luckily we wear our seat belts, but I'm pretty sure safety equipment isn't supposed to do that.
My vehicle randomly slams on the brakes without the touching the brake pedal. I’ve taken to my local Honda and they state there is nothing wrong and can’t fix anything if they see no warning lights
It randomly brakes even on highway with no obstacle in front.
Vehicle occasionally displays large orange "BRAKE" warning on dash when there are no vehicles or obstructions ahead. It then applies the brakes. This happens both when Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged, and when it is not.
I read about Investigation PE22-003 and wanted to add to that investigation. There’s a small hill near my house where the automatic braking system almost always tells me I’m about to crash. The brakes are never applied because I figure I crest the hill before I get close enough that it brakes for me. But it still doesn’t seem to work quite right.
When driving in various scenarios on open road, the automatic emergency braking system will engage unexpectedly. No vehicles were within 1/4 mile or more in front of me. Has happened more than once.
Randomly the car will just stop itself and it’s happened several times on the freeway. It has happened while driving straight, exiting and in traffic. There’s never something in front of me like another car, person or animal. It’s happened more than 5 times when both my husband and I are driving.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the brakes applied independently for a brief moment. The contact stated the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The car brakes when there is no one in front on me on the highway. It was occurred many times.
Possible glitch that sometimes causes the car randomly slam on brakes or slow down with out the driver touching the brake pedal.
Whilst driving on the freeway, on multiple occasions, the automatic emergency braking system of the car engaged even though there was no car near me whether in front, to the sides or behind. On one of the occasions the automatic breaks kicked in with no car around me or in front of me, I estimate I was travelling around 60 mph and the car immediately braked down straight to around 30-40 mph. If there had been a car travelling behind me I most certainly would have been rear ended. This issue is clearly a safety risk for myself and other drivers. Unfortunately, in my research online I haven't seen anything from Honda regarding this issue. I have not addressed this issue with the Honda dealer as per my research online from reports from other people with the same issue, the dealer doesn't do anything about the issue, therefore I haven't bothered taking the vehicle into the dealer. This braking issue occurred soon after I purchased the vehicle in February of 2018, within a month or two as I recall. There were no warning lamps or messages or symptoms prior to the problem ocurring.
Three or four times in the 4 years since we purchased our 2018 Accord Touring it has unexpectedly applied its brakes and illuminated the AEB (orange) warning light on the instrument cluster. This has happened when the car was being driven in heavy traffic at highway speeds and (the latest occurrence) when the car was stationary but traffic on each side was accelerating. Except for the time the car was stationary I could feel the car was being braked at a moderate rate and each time the dashboard instruments were lit up orange. Each time the event resolved by itself in a second or two and did not recure for months/years. I have not complained to the dealer as the symptom is so random.
The automatic collision avoidance, braking system sometimes when it has brought to a near stop locks down. It happens when I am on cruise control and let the system slow me down. When this happens it won't bring me up to speed when the car in front of me pulls away. I have to give it some some gas to break free. It's happened several times over the last few months.
Has going 35mph when the car suddenly applied brakes full force. There was nobody or anything in front of the car. Got a warning massage about the cmbs and to see dealer. Scary stuff. It could cause me to get rear ended.
Driving on occasion the “brake” warning sign lights up on dash (no one in front of me) in one instance last week it activated the brake system for me while I was driving on the highway. Again no car in front of me!
While driving a about 40 mph on a clear road, the car started braking automatically and almost stopped. I was worried I would be hit from behind.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the braking system erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The contact indicated that during the failure no vehicles or objects were nearby to cause the collision avoidance system to activate. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.
In 2019 I was in a parking lot driving at about 5 mph. A man left a store and stepped into the street over 20 ft in front of my car and the car suddenly slammed on the brakes and came to a complete jerking stop without me hitting the brakes or applying any pressure since he was so far away I didn’t need to fully brake. I reported this to the Honda dealership during my next service and was told it must’ve been a fluke occurrence or exaggeration. During multiple instances over the years I have felt the car brake on its own while I’m entering an intersection even though there is nothing in the way and no reason to activate the braking system.
I just learned of the investigation the NHTSA is doing regarding the sudden braking issue on Honda Accords. My 2018 Honda Accord Sport has done this maybe 15-20 times, in most cases with no visual or audible alert before braking. There have however been a few instances when the vehicle DOES sound a visual and audible alert for no reason, but doesn't brake. Here's a clue: there are two very specific areas near our home in which it seems to happen most (I can tell you the specific areas if you are interested). I have not been involved in an accident as a result of this problem, but I can certainly see how it could happen.
While driving there was no vehicles in front of me, my car started flashing “BREAK, BREAK,” and then the car completely stopped. There was a semi behind me, fortunately he was able to get into a different lane to avoid hitting me.
My Honda Accord has braked on its own for no reason while I was driving down the highway. This has happened approximately four times.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision-Avoidance System erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The failure occurred on several occasions. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000 plus multiple events. Phamton, needless automate breaking for no reason!
Vehicle suppression system for the airbags switch failed at 54000 miles. The air bags do not work unless switch is working!
Approximately 4 days ago came out to my car (in the garage) to discover a large stress crack in my windshield starting at the very edge of the lower right portion into the drivers view. No rock damage was visible the windshield nor was there any kind of accident. Took it to my Honda dealership, and got a shrug in response. They wanted insurance to cover it. I was told that this problem is quite common with the 2018 2.0 T models, but nothing has been done.
1-When I would hit the remote to unlock the doors it would make a weird noise. 2-After a few days I started hearing the noises in the gas cap area and in the gearshift when I put the car in gear. 3-Shortly after that, all of the warning indicators on the dashboard began to come on at the same time-3a- Brake Performance may be reduced, then the automatic emergency brake came on when there was nothing in front of me getting off on an exit ramp; 3b- Brake System-Electric Parking Brake Problem-3c- Vehicle stability 3d-Safety support system; 3e-ABS Anti-lock brake system; 3f-Systems Initiating message while in driving and in park; 3g Failure to disengage the parking brake. All of the above issues have the ability to put mine and others at risks of injury or worse if not properly addressed! Thankfully, there were no injuries or accidents. I took it to the Honda Dealership and left it, The tech called and told me that I had a problem with the fuel induction and I needed battery, which does not address any of the issues- so I feel like no one is taking these issues serious which is a problem. I am sure there are some details that I have forgotten, I will resubmit if that is the case. Please do something to address these issues. This vehicle is only 3 years old and should not have these major issues. With so many complaints of the same issues with the same model and year, I am appalled that NTHSA NOR HONDA is taking this seriously enough to issue a recalls or open an investigation. It seems that our safety and the safety of others is of no consequence to you all! PLEASE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY!!!
Rear brakes were changed 3 times in a time lapse in less than 6 months my rear brakes are gone they are rubbing metal to metal this is my commuting car to and from work. The automatic braking sometimes activated on its own or when it does not detect the markers on the road or the vehicle will try to left has happened to me multiple times almost crashed to the wall in more than one occasion
The system regularly malfunctions and it has almost caused 2 accidents. You expect the car to stop but it fails. The brakes also have issues and now my car starts without even pressing my foot on the brake first. I have over 10 warning lights due to safety system issues.
Our AC system stops blow cold air. After doing some research, a lot of Honda owners have AC problems. Most likely the cause could possible be AC compressor, or condenser which can cost 2000 or more to replace. Our car is most latest model 2018 Honda Accord and AC has stopped working. This should have been a call so we don't have to pay dealers to fix AC issue. Please contact Honda corporation and help us resolving this AC as warm and hot days are approach in California. It is terrible that this AC can happen to new cars.
The A/C blows only cold air all the way to 72F. Others online are experiencing similar issues
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that in April of 2021 the vehicle was taken to a dealer for an unknown recall related to the BCM. Months later, the contact parked her vehicle in the driveway and walked around it to retrieve her trash can, when she turned around it was discovered that the vehicle was rolling causing the front to crash into her against the garage wall. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained a pelvic bone injury and was transported to the hospital for medical treatment. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by a dealer. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
Passenger airbag cutoff indicator shorted-out, causing my passenger side airbag to have the potential not to deploy in the event on an accident. Vehicle is less than four years old and numerous problems are cropping up with the electrical equipment, including this short of the passenger airbag cutoff indicator, which I believe is a safety issue.
Supplemental Restraint System failure will pop up at random times maybe every other drive, then that code goes away. Just recently the ACC and Brake System flashes "Problem see dealer" as well as the head unit/display turning off and then back on intermittently. Front interior lights will turn on then turn off, sometimes immediately, and this has all been in the last year they've compiled. Closer to when I got my car a couple of years ago, the cruise control would just turn off and the automatic braking would start to slow the vehicle down. I attribute this to the "emergency braking" feature that would stop me with nothing in front of me, so it has been disabled ever since. Unfortunately my car doesn't fall under the VIN registry for the software recall, and from the looks of the other complaints this seems to be common problem with this car. If these issues are present I'm not sure why Honda would be so reluctant to accept that the recall affected a larger number of vehicles than they had initially thought. May have to get in contact with Honda Corporate.
The air conditioner in the car had stopped working and is only blowing out hot air
Rear brake pads wore out prematurely due to electric parking brake malfunction. Three different service writers at the Honda dealership acknowledged this as a known issue and stated they’ve seen it multiple times on this model. Honda refuses to acknowledge the issue and take responsibility. Front brakes show no signs of premature wear and are still in good “safe” condition. Mechanic at non-Honda service center agreed rear brakes wore out long before they should have and in a manner not related to normal wear and tear.
The door locks on my vehicle don't always work as they should. Often times only one or two of the doors lock and unlock, and it is not always the same two doors. I was told that the BCM recall would likely fix the problem when I took in for recall about a year or so ago. During my most recent trip on January 14, 2022, I was told that the problem is my actuators. After a quick inquiry I found that Honda has experienced this issue with this model before as well as other models. I wasn't aware that the locks weren't engaging for quite some time which meant that I was driving with unlocked car doors. There were no indicators that the doors were unlocked.
When driving this car at any speed above 30 mph the steering wheel sticks when attempting to turn or make any steering adjustments. This happens while the steering wheel is centered and the car is moving strait forward. This is a dangerous situation when driving in heavy traffic at highway speeds .
Backup camera malfunctioning. Color distortion makes it very difficult to interpret image. Problem has persisted since first occurrence (12/7/2021). An auto mechanic looked at image but could determine cause of problem. No warning lamps, messages or problems noted in self-diagnostic tests report. There was a previous recall on the software for this backup camera.
Supplemental restraint system malfunction which could lead to failure of airbags to deploy. This is a fairly new car and the indicator for failure of this system appeared with no prior collision, deployment of airbags, or tampering with system. Non-deployment of airbags in the event of a collision is a major safety hazard due to a randomly malfunctioning system. The problem has not been confirmed by dealer or independent service and has not been inspected. There is a warning message that appears that does not state what the issue with the restraint system is (electronic or mechanical).
All warning indicator lights came on and I took car to a Certified Auto Mechanic who said it was caused by the fuel pump problems surrounding Honda cars. Said it affected the fuel injectors (mis-fire) and I should take it to Honda dealer for fix. Honda dealer said this VIN of my 2018 Honda is not on the recall. I asked about being covered by the 5 year power train warranty and was told that this did not fall under that warranty. The auto mechanic said he would have to charge around $2000 to replace the fuel injector (1), but the others would probably go bad unless everything (Pump and injectors) were replaced. There over 500 complaints with NHTSA on this year model and over 200 of those are similar problems that match prior recalls for same model and year but different vin numbers. The reports from Honda to NHTSA regarding selected "recall" units does not prevent other problems identified due to Indian defective parts surrounding the fuel pump problems. If I read all the details correctly only hundreds of just 10,000 recalls have been completed. Why would Honda/NHTSA not want to include the few other hundred that may be present to prevent accidents and uphold the Honda reputation of quality?
Vehicle suddenly stopped turning over, replaced battery incase it wasn’t enough. Vehicle had a little under a quarter tank of gas so added another gallon or two and that brought it up to 1/2 a tank. Vehicle turned on once rough then smoothed out and then shut off in the road 10 minutes later. There are recalls for this exact problem with other Honda Accords my year but my vin did not qualify in the listing.Car belongs to grandmother Diana evans my name is Quinten and I am currently using my friends phone because mine is broken and she has been helping me with the vehicle.
The passenger side air bag is not working. Even with a passenger on the seat, the air bag indicator is OFF. Sometimes the airbag indicator works but most times it does not detect a passenger
Ive noticed my rear brake pads are wearing out faster than my front brake pads. In which this is a front wheel drive car and the engine is in the front
Secondary restraint system warning light keeps coming on.
So far I've had to replace 2 door lock actuators on my car since I purchased it brand new in 2018. Last year the first one to stop working was in the driver door. I figured this made sense because I am usually riding alone so this door gets more of a work out. But last month the passenger rear door lock stopped working as well. I purchased the extended warranty so both of the locks were fixed after a $100 deductible for each occurrence. This morning I notice my driver side rear door would not unlock. I figured I can't be the only person experiencing this issue.
My rear brakes were reported to have been worn out and needing replacement when I last had my oil changed 12/3/2021 at the Honda dealership. I had them resurfaced this summer when taking my vehicle in for the previous oil change and routine maintenance. After reviewing several online posts and videos, I discovered several other Honda Accord owners reporting that their back brakes are wearing out much earlier than anticipated. This makes me think there is an underlying issue and defect in the braking system.

Significant paint peeling on the roof of the vehicle on both driver and passenger side was reported to Honda prior to 36k miles. Claim submitted to American Honda has been denied but no explanation has been given.
Collision Braking Mitigation System experienced two errors (descriptions unknown). Received error message warning on display panel, but no description of errors. CMBS, LKAS, speed limit sign sensing, etc. all failed. Turning vehicle off and on several times did not restore the system. Vehicle drove fine, but all safety features were disabled.
The CMBS will slam on the brakes in wide open road condition. It happened at least 5 times. I have since made a habit to turn off the CMBS before I drive (going on 2 years turning it off). Almost caused an accident twice.
While driving on highway bridge at highway speeds (65 mph) the sunroof glass suddenly exploded and shattered. The interior shade was closed, so no glass entered the vehicle. There was a loud bang and then wind could be heard coming through the sunroof. There was no apparent damage to the sunroof glass prior to this incident and there was no evidence that an object had hit the roof of the vehicle. There was no other vehicle in front of or beside this vehicle at the time of the incident. No object was seen coming at the vehicle prior to the incident. The hole in the glass was nearly the entire size of the sunroof opening. Pictures are attached. Had the interior shade not have been closed, this incident could have been far worse since it happened while driving at fast speed across a high bridge. A safety recall should be investigated.
While using Adaptive Cruise Control the Collision Mitigation Braking System turns off with no rhyme or reason. This happens often ... 5 to 10 times per month depending upon how many miles I use the car that month. The speed of the car doesn't matter. When the CMBS turns off, the ACC also does not function. The only way to reset is to restart the car. This has happened ever since I purchased the car (new in 2018) but happens more often as time passes. I've reported this to the dealer twice. The first time I was told that the camera lens are probably dirty. (I've thoroughly cleaned the lens to no avail.) The second time the dealer updated the software. That did not solve the problem. The car has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. Warning lamps and messages appear when the CMBS goes out.
I was traveling about 45 mph and all of a sudden my adaptive brake system and predictive cruse control lights came on.
I was driving out of nowhere all the lights came out toke it to the dealer they fixed 2 week later I turn on my car and the same problem came out
When accelerating my vehicle it does not pick up speed as it should and there is a humming noise when doing so.
The In-car infotainment suddenly goes blank (black screen) after changing from reverse drive to Drive mode. I have to stop car put in parking and then screen comes back or else I have to un plug the mobile while driving and re plug to car play. This puts me in danger while driving.
The construction of the driver’s seat in this 2018 Honda Accord is poorly made.There is not enough padding in the seat to protect the body from the mechanical steel inner workings of the seat. I can feel the inner workings of the seat when I drive this car. I previously owned a Honda CRV and I know that this is NOT normal. The CRV was and still is a very comfortable vehicle as our daughter now owns it. There would not be any protection for the driver of this 2018 Honda Accord upon impact with another vehicle. Now I know why this vehicle had only 5161 miles on it when we purchased it July 12, 2021. It is THAT uncomfortable. I only drive it to the grocery store and back. I suspect that was the case with the previous owner as well. Otherwise, this car looks to be in pristine condition as it obviously was garage kept and still is garage kept. It feels like a jalopy.
Unexpected CMBS activation. There were no cars in front of me.
I bought the car from a Honda dealer in Babylon, Long Island. I have interior entertainment issue with the car play and equipment, which I have been complaining for a long time and software update are being done only to specific model under same trim. I have the same issues as addressed in the Honda updates but my car is not getting updated. The last update was in April, 2018, as displayed in my car android version but the record with dealer says 2020 update has been installed and 2021 is incomplete. There is rattling issue with the rear speakers when I keep volume above 13.
Starter Problems. Car was slow to crank/start. Thought it was the battery. Had the battery and alternator checked and they are good. It was diagnosed as a bad starter. More than $1,000 to replace. In more than 40 years of driving, I’ve never had to replace a starter. Especially in a 3 year old car. A quick check of the internet says this is a common problem, unique with series of Honda’s. This quick developing problem can leave you stranded. Bad design. Honda should cover their design flaws.
When I'm driving the braking warning flashes out of the blue and there is no one in front of me. Then it goes away. Also randomly my infotainment system just turns off and on out of the blue as well.
This morning on my drive to work my car started locking and unlocking by itself and when I got out of my car and locked it the lights did not flash when it was being locked or beep like its supposed to. My car still locks but it seems like an electrical issue is going on.
All warning lights are lit after taking to dealer for a recall. After that the car would randomly lose power and could stall.
Purchased a brand new 2018 Honda Accord I’ve only had it for 3 years and the paint is chipping. I’ve contacted the dealer where purchased and they stated it’s out of the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty and won’t do anything about it. Opened a case with American Honda motor Corp and still haven’t heard anything back from the regarding my vehicle paint issue.
All warning lights displayed
All indicators that came on at the same time on the dashboard. 1. Brake system indicator 2. Vehicle stability(vsa) 3. Safety support system 4. ABS Anti-lock brake system 5. System message 6. Locks locking and unlocking while the car was in motion 7. Failure to disengage the electronic parking brake 8. Car wouldn’t start at all While on the freeway locks started acting up locking and unlocking by themselves, got off the freeway and turn the car off to see if that would fix the issue. It didn’t fix the problem! Tried turning on the car and had a hard time starting the car than the parking brake didn’t disengage and all the warning lights listed above came on and the car had no power. Very dangerous I do not want to be statistic killed by my own car. If I take it to the dealer they will charge me a lot of money to diagnose and find nothing like always. I have no money to throw away like that. I have a family and I don’t want to die due to my car malfunctioning on the freeway or street loosing power like it did.very concerned at this point!
Forward braking mitigation system keeps coming on while in cruise control
On 3 separate occasions my Honda Accord 1.5T has lost power while driving in traffic. All of the warning lights came on, and I could not go over 10 mph. Fortunately i was able to turn onto a side street each time. I turned off the the engine and after a few minutes restarted...only once was I able to regain power and drive home with normal power. My car went to the dealership each time, and they have told me they cannot duplicate the issue. And now the dealership has had my vehicle for almost 2 months. The service agent said he has never seen anything like it, and when I mentioned specific articles about the turbocharged 1.5 engine online, he discounted them saying, "anyone can write stuff on the internet". Honda dealership and Honda Corporate has no solutions, other than just live with it. A car slowing down in heavy traffic or on the expressway is a major accident waiting to happen, and Honda doesn't seem to care.
I am leasing a 2018 Honda Accord Touring with dark blue paint. Approximately 1 year after leasing I began to notice the paint chipping off in the roof gutter rails in a few spots near the rear window. The paint chipping has begun to progressively worse and I notified the Honda dealership in Signal Hill, CA during a service visit. They gave me information to take it to their preferred body shop to fix and informed me that there have been a few problems with Accords paint peeling from 2018. I have gotten an estimate and am awaiting a response from Honda on whether they will cover the repair which is estimated at $1600 as they will have to strip the entire roof to fix. I would like this noted as this is a manufacturing defect. I live in Southern California and the car is inside when parked.
All the systems in the Picture failed.. I noticed my reading lamps don't work and middle brake light stays on dim when these warning lightscome on.... and the car loses power on the road It will slow down like its braking and won't accelerate. if there is ever a tractor trailer behind me I'm afraid it will hit me... when shutting down the car and restart within 30-50miles warnings lights come back on..
Collision mitigation braking system problem appeared with no reasoning.
The car loses power steering when it gets put in motion.
2018 Honda Accord had been parked for less than an hour while shopping. On return, entered car, put foot on brake and pushed the start button, immediate back pressure on brake pedal, audio warning of electrical system failure, messages on dash of electrical brake system failure (reason for this report), etc. Car would not start. Called dealer and they said to bring it in, there was nothing they could advise over the phone. Had the car towed to the dealer. Once there, first thing I was asked was whether the person who towed the car had attempted to jump start it. He had not. Service person said problem source was probably the battery which they said was drained, claimed there were electrical systems in the car that could drain the battery when the car was off, something I had never heard of before and I am still skeptical about. Car remained at dealer for a day and a half running diagnostics, etc. and they could find nothing wrong, even the battery, once recharged, was deemed good. Wife is now worried about driving the car and what might happen if the brake system failed. After researching 2018 Honda Accord electrical system problems online, I no longer have confidence in the vehicle's safety/reliability. Too many reports with no problem source determination nor resolution which is the category I'm sure this one is going to be added to.
Paint peeling. Large half dollar coin sized peeling paint on the hood. Paint is peeling off and the paint is very thin. Normal highway driving will cause paint to chip off to the primer and metal level
Driver door lock actuator grinding when lock by hand or when lock placing in gear.
Paint is peeling on the roof and the trunk. Talked to honda dealership and they submitted photos to Honda which said it was environment related. I took the car to an independent body shop who said it is a paint defect. The paint is peeling in multiple spots.
Vehicle suddenly accelerated one day as if someone had pushed on gas almost causing an accident. Next day vehicle began lagging and suddenly stopped with all lights and warnings going off. Everything from lane departure to emissions issues. Both issues could have easily caused accidents. Looking issues up I see that several Honda’s of this year are being recalled for fuel pumps but not mine. Several others have had similar issues with their vehicle as well and not being recalled. Vehicle is only 3 years old and less than 40k miles on it. This sudden acceleration or deceleration and dying is going to get someone hurt.
Fuel pump failed in vehicle 3 seperate times. All three times the vehicle had every warning light on including emissions system, cruise control disabled, lane keeper assistance disabled, power steering disabled and 7 other warning lights. Vehicle was brought into a honda dealership 3 times and issue was diagnosed 3 different ways. Issue #1 was rodents chewed wires, Issue #2 was cmp sensor error, Issue #3 was the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Because of the fuel pump the engine would stall/not be able to accelerate almost causing an accident because car would stall if gas pedal was pressed down as normal to reach normal speeds. Dealership confirmed the warning lights and sluggish acceleration and stalling of the engine. Recalls are available for some 2018-2019 and 2020 accords but according to my VIN my car was supposedly not included. Issues first appeared around almost at the 3 year mark and vehicle was just over 15.5k miles.
The car is braking by itself because of honda sensing. There are no cars near me but it normally thinks there is seems to not work on sunny days
I was on a very busy interstate highway during a rainstorm going between 60 and 70 MPH. I was in the left lane when the check engine light came on and it went into limp home mode and my speed was immediately reduced in heavy traffic. I was lucky enough to move to the slow lane and then to the break down lane and get to an exit. I pulled in at an area I could shut the car off. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and started the car and the check engine light was off and everything has been normal since then. This was extremely dangerous . The speed dropped below 40 very suddenly and then 30 and then 20 on an interstate. The next day I went to the local Honda dealer and described what had happened and they said they had seen this happen before and talked about the radar and the collision mitigation system possibly being the problem. They said they never saw any codes set in the other vehicles so since mine was off I did not have it checked. I have recently had it checked at my local Honda dealer for transmission issues and they could not find anything either concerning the check engine light , but it has been a couple of months since the incident.
I have only 17,750 miles on my vehicle and my rear brakes are completely worn. They are pulsating and I am afraid to drive the car.
2018 Honda Accord was purchased in February 2021 used from a Honda dealership which came with 1 year bumper to bumper warranty. I noticed my engine light as well as all of the Honda sensing lights on in my dashboard. Honda told me my fuel injectors need to be replaced and is charging me $1600 even though my 1 year warranty is still active.
2018 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUE WITH STEERING. THE CONUSMER STATED WHEN FULLY ROTATING THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCKWISE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD WITHOUT ADDED ACCELERATION. THE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A SECOND OPINION. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THERE WAS DAMAGED TO THE RIGHT WHEEL CAUSING THE TIRE TO RUB AGAINST THE BRAKE FLUID LINE.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds with the cruise control engaged, the vehicle would independently brake as a brake warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on two separate occasions to have the vehicle inspected for the failure however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure both times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that there were no recalls on the Vin. The manufacturer referred him back to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
I’ve had this vehicle about 4 months! About once or twice a month I’m getting a message that there’s a problem with my braking system! My brake light blinks on and off, and the message reads…electronic parking brake issue!
I left my purse in the car and went in to pick up puppy. The car doors had self locked with my purse and keys inside the car. I have reported to the dealership and Honda of America. No response from HOA. I am concerned that someone might have a child or dog in the car and thinking that they are just going in house for a minute would come back to the car and find the doors locked. My phone was also in the car. It took 45 minutes for me to find someone, use their phone to make a call, and have someone bring the spare key. That is a long time for a child or animal to be locked in a car.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. As his wife was pulling into a driveway at a low rate of speed, the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The contact's wife had slammed on the brake pedal but to no avail. The vehicle continued to accelerate and crashed into the house. The vehicle continued to accelerate upon impact and his wife was able to shut off the vehicle. The contact's wife nor the occupants inside the home were injured as a result of the collision. The vehicle caused damage to both the home and the vehicle in the garage. The airbags did not deploy upon impact. The police were called to the scene and a police report was filed. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent body shop for repair. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.
Car is driven in North east area of USA. This car stopped blowing cold air one fine day. On inspection from dealer it was assessed that Condenser was leaking. As per the assessment there was no physical damage. Most probably manufacturer fault. Car is driven only 30500 miles at time of reporting this incident. Single owner. Only commute from home to office and back and that too minimal commute during pandemic. No accident or impact whatsoever.
I was driving home in the rain on the interstate when my car suddenly braked on its own. Luckily, no one was immediately around me at the time because the sudden braking resulted in my car sliding into the lane to the right of me, towards the cars in the next lane over. It spun to where I was facing the oncoming traffic and sliding toward the dividing wall with the passenger side to the wall. I missed the wall, but the car did a complete circle and came to a stop straddling the fast lane and facing the wall. I was able to pull the car off to the shoulder next to the wall. I did not hit anybody or anything. When I calmed down, I took the car straight to dealer to have the brakes checked. They kept the car overnight. That night I went online and found others had reported similar incidents of the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaging unnecessarily on its own and realized that was what had happened to me. I also had a previous incident where system braked harder than necessary. The next day the service techs had found nothing wrong with the brakes. When I told the service manager about the AEBS problems I had read about, I told him I wanted it disconnected. He told me they could not do that and until Honda came up with a fix for the problem, they couldn't do anything. I looked online again and discovered Honda had replied to questions about the AEBS engaging when it should not and said they had addressed the problem in the owner's manual. I found an online manual and found that I can turn the Collision Mitigation Braking System off. It resets automatically so I have to turn it off each time I start the car. I have not driven the car any distance yet since I have not returned to work yet but plan on turning it off and see if it really does turn it off and corrects the problem. Currently, I have no confidence in the car and am afraid of it happening again.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the vehicle lost motive power, shuttered, and jerked making it difficult to steer the vehicle. A warning message appeared on the screen stating “power steering disabled”. The contact was able to merge the vehicle to the side of the road, restart the vehicle, and the message disappeared however, the failure recurred several times. The contact had the vehicle towed to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.
My 2018 Honda Accord the paint is pealing and rusting on the roof on both sides of the roof. I took the car to a body shop recommended by the dealer ship. After car was inspected Honda America told the dealership that they would split the cost of the repair with me. Honda America provided me with a case number I find this unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking activated inadvertently and without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to a Honda dealer where they informed her that her gear shifter may have caused an electrical short. As the failure persisted, the vehicle was brought back to the dealer where they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was referred to the local dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.
Parts of windshield, rear window and side windows have distortion. I would describe it as though one hasn't turned on the windshield wipers during a pretty heavy mist (not a downpour).
Rear breaks went from being in great conditions to totally work out to the point it was metal on metal. Went to the Honda dealership and they said the roters were rusted and corroded which caused the break pads to disappear. They stated it’s a known issue with the 2018 Honda Accord but there is no recall at the time.
- AC compressor failed within 1 year. Replaced. New one failed in 2 years now out of warranty. - Very limited heat on cold days in winter. Must be driving constantly in higher rev (no stop and go) can't use eco mode. Dealer says it's "normal" but my Civic that's 7 years older has no issues. Seems to be the same as current recall for other Honda CRV models - HUD rattles constantly in hot weather, dealer refuses to do anything despite a service bulletin - Rear speaker deck rattles constantly with all styles of music even at low volume. Dealer has "fixed" twice but problem remains. Not of safety concern All concerns reproduceable but several dismissed by deal Yes, available for inspection upon request
My brakes are very sensitive. Every time you brake it brakes hard. When I brake at 50 mph the steering wheel and brakes vibrate. I never had a car with this problem and I have had Honda's my whole life and never had this problem. I don't know if its because of the new electronic braking system but it sucks. This will be my last time buying a Honda due to this horrible braking problem. Every time I notify Honda service they tell me that's how the braking system is. Well its HORRIBLE. Got me looking like I am break checking somebody and making me seem like I can't brake or drive good. Honda really needs to fix this problem.
Check for clear title. VIN changed

THE CONSUMER STATED DEALER TRIED TO ASSIST BY ADDING A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE VEHICLE.
ON OCCASION, WHILE AT HWY SPEEDS WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY START BRAKING. THIS WORRIES ME THAT PEOPLE FOLLOWING TO CLOSELY MIGHT NOT BE EXPECTING MY CAR TO BRAKE AS THEIR US NO IMMEDIATE TRAFFIC IN FRONT. ALSO, THE LANE ASSIST FREQUENTLY FIGHTS ME WHEN I AM WITHIN MY LANE. IT APPEARS THAT CONCRETE SCRATCHES OR MARKS IN THE ROAD SOMETIMES CONFUSE IT.
AC COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND I NO LONGER HAVE COLD AIR
HONDA ACCORD 2014 - BEGINNING IN FEBRUARY/MARCH 2021 DRIVING ON A MAJOR THRUWAY EARLY MORNING, MY CAR KEPT VEERING FROM THE LANE. WARNING LIGHT "STEERING REQUIRED" KEPT COMING ON. I COULD FEEL THE CAR SHAKING. THIS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE 6 HOUR TRIP. VERY FRIGHTENING TRYING TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR, TRYING TO KEEP IT FROM VEERING OUT OF THE LANE, WHILE THE CAR IS SHAKING. THE "STEERING REQUIRED/LANE DEPARTURE" WARNINGS TERRIFIED ME. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN ON ANOTHER MORNING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. CAR KEPT VEERING. WARNING SIGNS COMING ON. CAR SHAKING.
THE BRAKES GRAB HARD. THE PEDAL GOES DOWN A LITTLE AND THEN THE BRAKES SEEM TO LOCK UP. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 2 MILES ON IT THE SAME DAY IT WAS DELIVERED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IMMEDIATELY IT WAS APPARENT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THEY TOLD US TO DRIVE IT A WHILE AND IT WOULD GO AWAY. IT HAS NOT. 2 WEEKS LATER I TOLD THEM AGAIN. WE HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM 4 TIMES AND THEY SAY NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED WITH THAT PROBLEM. IT HAS ALMOST 35,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY SAY IT WILL COST ME TO FIX IT, ASSUMING THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. H E L P !!!!
20,000 MILES ON MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD, FLOPPING NOISE WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING. I TOOK IT TO THE REALER , AND THEY SUGGESTED NEW TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT WITH ONLY 20 THOUSAND MILES.
WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON I-10 IN ARIZONA ON CARPOOL LANE WHEN SUDDENLY SOME WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON DASHBOARD CAR MADE ME VEER TO THE RIGHT MAKING ME SPIN OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING A CRASH AND HITTING THE FENCE.

WINDSHIELD IS INCREDIBLY FRAGILE. HAS CRACKED AND GOTTEN CHIPPED UNDER MINIMAL DRIVING. THERE IS A PROHIBITIVELY HIGH COST TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO WINDSHIELD.
WHEN VEHICLE IS ON, SAFETY FEATURES LIKE LANE KEEP ASSIST, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, BLIND SPOT INDICATORS, TRACTION CONTROL, DOOR LOCKING, HANDS FREE PHONE CALL ANSWERING AND HANGING UP BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL ARE ALL NOT WORKING. MY INFORMATION SCEEN IS LOCKED AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.
THE FUEL PUMPS, MADE BY SUPPLIER DENSO, WERE "EXPOSED TO PRODUCTION SOLVENT DRYING FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME" DURING MANUFACTURING, ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA RECALL REPORT, WHICH COULD CAUSE SURFACE CRACKING AND EXCESSIVE FUEL ABSORPTION AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE IMPELLER TO BECOME DEFORMED AND FAIL. THE FUEL PUMPS ON VEHICLES PRODUCED OUTSIDE LIMITED DATES GIVEN ON THE REPORT DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD MODELS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. MY CAR IS STALLING THE EMISSIONS WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE, AND THE COLLISION MITIGATION. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THE PUT IN PLACE LAST YEAR BEING THAT IS IS THE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WOULD STALL IN A PARKING SPOT AT MY HOME WHEN I'M FIRST STARTING IT. IT WOULD FLASH A WARNING LIKE A CAR IS IN FRONT OF ME RANDOMLY WHEN NOTHING IS THERE. I HAVEN'T GOT INTO A WREAK BUT I FREE THAT I MAY BE IN ONE IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T FIXED AND BEING THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS MODELS I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET. I BROUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD BE CHANGING THE FUEL INJECTOR 3 YEARS LATER.
A/C STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR INTERMITTENTLY AT ABOUT 45K. BUT NOTICED A/C WASN'T AS COLD. WHEN SHOWED TO DEALER, ADVISOR RAN A/C AND SAID ITS OK. AT 60K MILES , NO A/C, JUST WARM AIR. TOOK IT TO A/C STORE , THEY FOUND LEAK AND TOLD US MOST OF THE NEW HONDAS WITH THE NEW A/C SYSTEMS ARE HAVING LEAKS BECAUSE OF THE NEW FREON CAUSING ISSUES. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX IT UNDER RECALL.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. THIS HAS SHOWED UP 3 TIMES ON MY CAR SO FAR, 2 TIMES IN 6 DAYS. DRIVING IN GOOD WEATHER, CLEAN HIGHWAYS, CHECKED RADAR FOR DEBRIS AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANY EACH TIME. DEALER SAYS NO CODE, NOTHING WRONG! WHY IS IT TELLING ME TO "SEE DEALER" ???? IF NOTHING IS WRONG. ALL THE SAFETY, CRUISE AND BRAKING SAFETY FEATURES WERE SHUT OFF, COULD NOT USE CRUISE ALONE AFTER. HAPPENED ONCE IN 2020 AND MARCH 20&26 OF 2021. DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG!
I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY REAR BRAKES FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE CHANGED MY REAR BRAKES TWICE SINCE I HAD THE CAR. TODAY ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON AND WON'T TURN OFF. I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON. ALSO THE REAR TAILLIGHTS HAD A BROKEN SEAL WHERE MOISTURE COLLECTS IN THE TAILLIGHTS. THE BRAKES IN THIS CAR WAS THE WORST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. THE CAR VIBRATES WHILE BRAKING AND THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL DESPITE HAVING RECENTLY CHANGED THE BRAKES. THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE A NEW PROBLEM AND A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 62,000 MILES.
DEALERSHIP 2019 STATED FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEMS ALL OF THE SENSOR LIGHTING SYSTEMS ARE STILL LIT UP. HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION 12/2019. SINCE THEN CAN NOT UTILIZE THE CRUISE. NOW STATING ITS A TURBO WASTEGATE ISSUE.
BURNING EXCESSIVE GAS. EVERY 2 DAYS I HAVE BEEN FILLING MY TANK. FILLED TANK TO HALF TANK OF GAS AND WITHIN LESS THAN 24 HOURS I AM ON EMPTY. FORWARD COLLISION GOES OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. THERE IS A CONSTANT GAS SMELL IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. MY GARAGE ALSO HAS BEEN STINK WITH GAS SMELL SINCE THE LAST 3 WEEKS CONSISTENTLY.
MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD HAS A HUMMING/DRONING NOISE THAT BASED ON MY RESEARCH IS COMING FROM THE ANTI NOISE SYSTEM (ANS). THIS IS A COMMON AND ANNOYING PROBLEM AMONGST ACCORD OWNERS. PLEASE HELP...LOVE THE CAR OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START-UP. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DON JACOBS HONDA (2699 REGENCY RD, LEXINGTON, KY 40503) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO DTC CODES RETRIEVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR ALLOWED THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE NOT BEING PROPERLY SEALED AGAINST THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK HONDA OF CHARLESTON (1539 SAVANNAH HWY, CHARLESTON, SC 29407, (843) 279-0447) HOWEVER, WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

I2 WEEKS AGO I HAD MY CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATED AS PER THE RECALL NOTICE. EVERYTHING WAS FINE THEN 2 DAYS AGO I NOTICED ON THE HEADS UP DISPLAY "CRUISE) WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE. I SET THE SPEED AT 65 ON THE FREEWAY AND IT HELD THE SPEED FINE, HOWEVER, AS I APPROACHED ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN TO MATCH THE SPEED OF THE OTHER CAR. I HAD TO BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING IT. I TRIED USING THE INTERVAL BUTTON TO SET THE DISTANCE FROM THE OTHER VEHICLE BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING 3/23/2021 AND AFTER 90 MINUTES THEY CALLED ME OUT TO LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. APPARENTLY, IF YOU HOLD THE INTERVAL BUTTON DOWN FOR 2-5 SECONDS IT DISENGAGES THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CAR IS REVERTED TO AN OLDER SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT SENSE THE SPACING WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I NEVER HAD TOUCHED THE INTERVAL BUTTON PRIOR TO THE CAR REVERTING TO THIS OLDER SYSTEM AND IT WENT TO IT BY ITSELF. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IT WENT TO THIS SYSTEM WHILE IN MOTION BY ITSELF AND ONLY SINCE I HAD THE UPDATED SYSTEM INSTALLED DUE TO THE RECALL. IF I HADN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONTOF ME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, WHEN IT ROLLED BACKWARDS AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS RELATING THIS FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V771000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF COLUMBIA (4333 SUNSET BLVD, LEXINGTON, SC 29072) WHERE THE RECALL WAS SERVICED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,200.
THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE PAD IS WORN TO NOTHING. ALL OTHER PADS ARE FINE. I HAVE 22,000 MILES ON MY HONDA. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS RUSTED BECAUSE I LIVE AT THE BEACH. IF THAT IS TRUE THEN WOULD THERE NOT BE PROBLEMS WITH ALL 4. I HEARD SCRAPING SOUNDS BEFORE. THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING HAS BEEN ON. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, THE ELECTRONIC PANEL READ I NEEDED TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS FINE.
AUTOMATIC SENSOR BRAKING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, THERE ARE NO OTHER CARS AROUND OR OBJECT. WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES COME ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE ARE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR TO THE SIDE. THE CAR JERKS AS THE BRAKES ARE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED, WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDAL. THEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED, THE WHOLE EVENT TAKES SECONDS. IN FACT IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THERE HAS BEEN NO CARS IN SIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY ON LOCAL ROADS GOING 45-50 MILES, BUT HAS OCCURED ON A HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. PURCHASED CAR IN 2018, STARTING HAPPENING IN 2019 AND CONTINUES UNTILL TODAY. WHEN I TOLD HONDA SERVICE, THEY SAID MAYBE THE SENSOR FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS DIRTY. I AM CONCERNED AN ACCIDENT WILL HAPPEN, IF THE BRAKES GO ON AND THERE IS NO CAR IN FRONT BUT A CAR IN BACK, ITS UNSAFE.
THE REAR BRAKE ARE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AT 38K MILES AND THE FRONT PADS ARE FINE. DONT UNDERSTAND WHYBTHE REAR WOULD WEAR OUT FASTER THAN THE FRONT. THERE WAS SEVER DAMAGE DONE TO THE REAR ROTATOR A D HAD TO GET REPLACED.
2018 HONDA ACCORD- PURCHASE CAR IN SEPT 2018, IN NOVEMBER 2019 INCHING FORWARD TO SEE CLEARLY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, ONCOMING CAR TO MY RIGHT, STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND NOTHING, NO BRAKES AND LOTS OF WARNINGS ON THE DASH. PANICKED BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OUT OF HARMS WAY AND PUSH IGNITION TO STOP. HAPPENED AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2019, SAME SCENARIO AS ABOVE. HONDA REPAIRED BRAKE BOOSTER. OCCURRED AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2020 AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, CHANGING LANES ABOUT TO EXIT FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, HONDA REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER. OCCURRED AGAIN FEBRUARY 2021 ON THE STREETS. CAR CURRENTLY AT HONDA. FLUID LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. HONDA ABOUT TO REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER AND WHAT THEY CALL A COLLECTOR. NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR. HONDA WILL NOT CONSIDER A BUY BACK.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES/HOUR WHEN I BEGAN TO HEAR A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT MOST AIR VENT. WITHIN SECONDS, A STRONG ELECTRICAL OR BURNING RUBBER SMELL BEGAN TO FILL THE CABIN. THE HISSING SOUND EVENTUALLY SUBSIDED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WHITE SMOKE BEGAN TO COME THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. THE SMOKE LASTED FOR ABOUT 45-60 SECONDS. FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 WORKING DAYS BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY DID SAY THAT THE CAR HAD A CODE FOR A "FAULT IN THE BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT", BUT SAID THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AS OF MARCH 4TH 2021, THIS ISSUE HAS NOT REAPPEARED SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE.
2018 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN 2.0 TURBO SPORT. 47,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. FUEL IS MIXING WITH ENGINE OIL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY 5K INTO LAST OIL CHANGE AND THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE PRESENT ON THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK ALONG WITH AN ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DEFROSTER OR HEAT IS TURNED ON.
I WAS BACKING THE VEHICLE SLOWLY IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND IT WAS ACCELERATE ALL OF SUDDEN. THERE WAS A CURB ON THE BACK, BUT IT WENT OVER AND HIT THE TREE. IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL
THE CLEAR COAT ON THE HOOD AND ON THE TRIM JUST BELOW THE HOOD IS BEGINNING TO PEEL. AS A RESULT THE PAINT IS ALSO BEGINNING TO CHIP.
WHEN I DRIVE IT SMELLS COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS SMELL LIKE CARBON MONOXIDE SMELL WEIRD... SMELL REALLY DANGEROUS
I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN SIGNAL LEFT AND I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE LIGHTLY TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP AND THE WAS A CAR TURN INTO MY STREET THE OPPOSITE LANE THOUGH AND HE TURNED MY CAR SLAM STOP UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING MY PASSI G TO JERK AND I HARD STRAIN OUR NECKS! WHIP LASH OVER NOTHING SO DANGEROUS! ALSO ONE TIME ENTERING THE HIGHWAY I SLOW OR WAS COMING TO A STOP FOR NOTHING! SWNSOR IS OFF!
REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS 11-8-2019 AT 32,223 MILES. REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS 2-3-2021 AT 56,679 MILES. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AGAIN. THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 ACCORDS.
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 55 MPH OR FASTER, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT TO HOLD THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING BECOMES HARDER THAN NORMAL TO INITIATE A TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER APPLYING MORE PRESSURE THAN NORMAL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SUDDENLY MOVE CAUSING A LARGER THAN DESIRED STEERING CORRECTION. BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA-LARGE STEERING CORRECTION ANOTHER CORRECTION WILL BE NEEDED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT THE STEERING RESIST TURNING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION UNTIL EXTRA FORCE IS APPLIED TO THE STEERING WHEEL, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SUDDENLY MOVE AND CAUSE AN OVERCORRECTION IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, USUALLY AFTER 3 HOURS. THE STEERING PROBLEM CAN STILL BE PRESENT AFTER STOPPING AT A REST AREA AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT WHEN THE PROBLEM DOES FINALLY GO AWAY IT IS ALWAYS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM WHEN PRESENT DOES NOT ALWAYS CAUSE THE SAME RESISTANCE TO TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM IS SLIGHT AND OTHERS IT IS VERY SEVERE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE USING 2 HANDS THERE ARE 19 COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD. FEB OF 2020 FLOW HONDA OF WINSTON-SALEM REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FURTHER PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN ON A TRIP FROM NC TO FL WHEN THE STEERING PROBLEM REAPPEARED. AFTER STOPPING AT A REST AREA FOR A 15 MIN. STOP THE STEERING PROBLEM WAS GONE. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED. ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THERE ARE 2 PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN THAT THEIR STEERING PROBLEM REAPPEARED AFTER THE RACK AND PINION HAD BEEN REPLACED. ON FEB. 8, 2021 I RETURNED THE ACCORD TO FLOW HONDA OF W-S FOR THE 4TH TIME AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.
WHEN I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER IN 2019 TO CHANGE MY OIL, THEY HAVE SAID THAT MY REAR BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WAS VERY BIZARRE TO ME AS THE CAR IS FWD AND THE ENGINE IS IN THE FRONT, THUS MAKING MORE STRESS ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS INSTEAD OF THE REAR BRAKE PADS. OTHER HONDA ACCORD 2018-2020 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND I HOPE IT CAN BE RESOLVED AS IT SEEMS THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR OFF TOO FAST. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF NOTICE.
PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT WINDOWS HAVING ISSUES WITH WINDING UP OR DOWN AND EVEN MOVING OUT OF CHANEL. PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCS,LKS DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING CAMERA WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE HOWEVER THE DEALER IN JAMAICA WILL NOT REPROGRAMME
CAR INTERMITTENTLY FLASHES ALL THE CMBS LIGHTS AND APPLIES BREAK ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HONDA DEALERSHIP CHARGED TO DIAGNOSE A REPLACE BREAK SWITCH. PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. COUNTLESS OTHERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE AND REPORTING ONLINE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE. I ALMOST GOT REARENDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THIS. ALSO WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ACIVE, DRL SOMETIMES DO NOT WORK AND REVERSE CAMERA DO NOT WORK. FIRST HAPPENED JUNE 2020(AFTER ISSUE, IT ALLOWS THE CAR TO START WITHOUT PRESSING BREAK PEDAL), CONTINUES TO HAPPEN OFTEN. DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING REMOVES THE ISSUE FOR SOMETIME THEN COMES BACK FEW DAYS TO WEEKS/MONTHS LATER.
ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK PART HAS A MANUFACTURING FAULT THAT CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND THEN OVERSTEER, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE LANE AND A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING YET TO RECALL THE CARS TO FIX THE ISSUE DESPITE THIS PROBLEM EXISTING IN MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF THIS ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN. PART NUMBER 53600-TVA-A18 HAS BEEN REPLACED BY MULTIPLE NEW MODELS OF THIS PART BUT HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PRODUCTION ISSUE WITH THE PART TO RECALL THE CARS AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE STEERING COLUMN MODELS HAVE BEEN THROUGH MULTIPLE REVISIONS BUT HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED THE OLDER MODELS, 53620-TVC-A67, 53620-TVC-A68, 53600-TVA-A19, 53620-TVA-A28, 53620-TVC-A64, 53620-TWA-A28, 53620-TVC-A64.
PAINT ON HOOD GETTING 100'S OF PIMPLES,SOME SMALL SOME LARGER,PHOTO ENCLOSED NOTE WAX WAS PUT ON TO HIGHLIGHT THE SPOTS
THIS IS A LEASED 2018 HONDA ACCORD, THE VEHICLE HAS 8000 MILES ON IT. THE SAFETY PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM HAS SHORTED 5 BATTERIES AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS, LENDING TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THE HONDA DEALER HAS REPLACED 5 BATTERIES ON MY VEHICLE AND NOW MY CAR HAS BROKEN-DOWN AGAIN MAKING IT SIX SHORTED BATTERIES ON A VEHICLE THAT BARELY HAS 8K MILES. WHEN I TALKED TO KYLE LAMPP, ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER AT BRANDON HONDA, HE STATED HONDA CORP. KNOWS ABOUT THE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ADDRESS IT BECAUSE OF COST. BELOW ARE THE DATES OF SERVICE REPAIRS WITH INCLUDED INVOICE NUMBERS: 8/21/19 SERVICE# 514010 11/13/19 SERVICE# 531130 1/22/20 SERVICE# 544284 8/16/20 SERVICE#578092 11/19/20 SERVICE# 594896
THE HONDA INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WOULD FREEZE AND CRASH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS USED AS A NAVIGATION SYSTEM, RADIO, BACKUP CAMERA AND SETS VARIOUS SETTINGS FOR THE CAR. WHEN THIS DEFECTIVE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHES, IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO THINK SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING TO THE CAR AND DRIVER WILL BE VERY DISTRACTED.
FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WARPED REALLY EARLY. BACK BRAKES AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO BECAUSE OF NOISE SOUNDING LIKE SCRAPPING.
DRIVING ON I-65 AT 70MPH (MY CRUISE WAS SET ALONG WITH ACC AND LKAS). SYSTEM WORKED WITH NO ISSUES FOR ~200 MILES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN, AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AS WELL. OUT OF THE BLUE, AS I GOT CLOSER, I GOT THIS ERROR IN MY DASH, COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM SEE YOUR DEALER. IT TOOK A SECOND FOR ME TO REALIZE THAT MY CAR WAS NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN. FORTUNATELY I STILL HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE TO PRESS ON MY BRAKES BEFORE HITTING THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
20,000 MILES FRONT STRUTS ARE BAD,50,000 MILES FUEL INJECTORS WENT OUT. 80,000 EGR, EMISSIONS AND LOSS OF POWER. ON A HIGH END TOURING, CLEAR COAT CAME OFF RIMS, RADIO AND HUD IS SPORADIC RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON WHEN DRIVING, ALL WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE,
WHEN STARTING MY CAR, I AM RECEIVING SEVERAL WARNING EVEN AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALER. ALL ISSUES WERE CLEARED BUT NOW ONLY 4 DAYS LATER, THE SAME WARNINGS FROM THE SAFETY SYSTEM IS SHOWING.
REAR BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING OUT WAY FASTER THAN THE FRONT. SEEMS IT IS SOME TYPE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I FOUND OUT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED IF ENOUGH PEOPLE FILE THIS COMPLAINT, THEY MAY OFFER A REMEDY OR RECALL TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.
THE CAR HAD A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL IN CABIN WHEN STARTING ON VARIOUS OCCASSIONS. THE CAR ALSO TEMPORARILY STALLED AND LOST POWER WHEN COMING TO A CORNER TURNING AND ALSO THREE TIMES WHEN COMING OFF THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS ALWAYS WARMED UP AND IN CALIFORNIA DURING THE WARM WEATHER. DEALER NOTED FUEL SMELL IN OIL AND INCREASED OIL LEVEL. HAD OIL CHANGED AND WAS TOLD A FIX WAS COMING SOON. TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER MONTHS LATER FOR A RECALL, A BCM RECALL AND AGAIN I TOLD THEM THAT THE OIL SMELLED OF FUEL AFTER 500 MILES SINCE OIL CHANGE. WAITING FOR MANAGER TO CALL ME BACK WITH UPDATE ON FIX. IT IS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD 1.5 LITR TURBO. 26,000 MILES ON MOTOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER IN JANUARY 2020.
IT SEEMS THAT MY REMOTE STARTER IS CAUSING ERRORS. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I USE IT DURING COLD WEATHER. I TRY TO START REMOTELY AND IT STARTS FOR A SECOND AND THEN CUTS OFF. I GET IN AND NOTICE SEVERAL MAINTENANCE ALARMS TELLING ME TO SEE A DEALER WHEN I START THE NORMAL WAY. ALL SAFETY FEATURES SEEM TO BE DISABLED BUT STILL DRIVEABLE.THE ONLY WAY TO ERASE THESE CODES IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THEN I CAN GO SEVERAL TIMES WITH OUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I TOOK TO DEALERS AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUES, I TOLD THEM TO JUST REPLACE THE BATTERY, EVEN THOUGH THAT WASNT RECOMMENDED. I THOUGHT IT HELPED, BUT THEN THE ISSUED OCCURRED AGAIN A WEEK LATER. IT IS SCHEDULED TO BE LOOK AT BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP.
THE ADS BREAKING ERROR COMES ON AND THE CAR WON'T START- THIS IS THE 3RD TIME AND IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR- THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MOVING AND STATIONARY. HONDA SAYS IT IS A SIMPLE ERROR MY CAR HAS LESS THAT 30K MILES N THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE
JULY 2020, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) SYSTEM DE-ACTIVE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 65MPH.RECEIVED DASH BOARD MESSAGE 'COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER' . WARNING WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE.DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE WARNING. NOV 2020 ACC SYSTEM AGAIN FAILED, THREE TIMES, SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, HIGHWAY 65-70 MPH, RESTARTING AGAIN CLEARED WARNING. WHEN SYSTEM FAILS THE CRUISE CONTROL ELEMENT TURNS OF, AND CANNOT BE REACTIVATED. ALSO, CAR SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY, BECAUSE SET SPEED IS NOT MAINTAINED.( POTENTIAL REAR END COLLISION SITUATION) CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN NOV 2018, NOT PROBLEM DETECTED UNTIL EARLY JULY 2020. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AS OF JAN 2021.
THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM (NOT SURE IF IT'S THE CAMERA MOUNTED BEHIND THE WINDSHIELD OR SOMETHING ELSE) WILL PERIODICALLY INTERPRET A ROAD SPEED SIGN AS SHOWING 100MPH SPEED LIMIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND WILL HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN (I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER SOME TIME HAS PASSED). AS WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUE WITH THE 2018+ HONDA MODELS, HONDA'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN "TAKE IT TO THE DEALER" WHILE THE DEALER'S MECHANIC DRIVES THE CAR FOR AN HOUR, DOES NOT SEE THE ISSUE AND THEN CLAIMS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. A PICTURE IS ATTACHED.
THE 2018 ACCORDS HAVE A SYSTEM CALLED "BRAKE HOLD" WHICH IS INTENDED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHILE A VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT, SAY, A STOP-LIGHT. THE INTENT SEEMS TO BE TO ALLOW THE DRIVER TO HAVE THEIR FOOT ON THE GAS, INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM FREQUENTLY HAS AN ISSUE WHERE IT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO CREEP. THIS, GENERALLY, SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER, PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR IS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A SLOW ROLL, THEN STOPPED (USING THE BRAKE PEDAL) AND AS SOON AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASE, THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM FAILS TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN THE STOPPED POSITION. AFTER A SIGNIFICANT DELAY, THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS ENGAGED, BUT THE VEHICLES HAD, AT THAT POINT, LURCHED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES, IF NOT OVER A FOOT. THIS INDICATES (JUST AS WITH THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM DELAYS, DISCUSSED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS) THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH THE TIMING OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM UTILIZED IN THE BRAKE HOLD, THE SENSOR(S) OR BOTH, WHERE THE SYSTEM FAILS TO DETECT THE CONDITIONS IN REAL TIME AND REACTS IN A DELAYED MANNER. AGAIN, AS WITH OTHER ISSUES ON THE LATER HONDA MODELS, HONDA HAS FAILED TO PERFORM COMPREHENSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING OF THE ISSUE (EVEN AFTER ME TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AS INDICATED BY HONDA. THIS IS A COMPLAINT FOR A SEPARATELY OCCURRING INSTANCE.

THE HOOD ON THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (NOT A LITTLE, BUT SIGNIFICANTLY). TWO SEPARATE BODY SPECIALISTS TRIED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT WHICH RESULTED IN SLIGHTLY BETTER FIT, BUT STILL, THE HOOD VIBRATES (AGAIN, NOT A LITTLE, BUT AN UNSETTLING AMOUNT) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA ALREADY HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PILOT MODEL'S HOOD: HTTPS://HONDA.OEMDTC.COM /711/HOOD-FLUTTER-OR-VIBRATION-AT-HIGHWAY-SPEEDS-2016-2019-HONDA-PILOT-2017-2019-RIDGELINE AND NOW, 2018+ OWNERS ARE STARTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HOOD STABILITY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS WELL. WHEN I HAD INITIALLY RAISED THE ISSUE WITH AMERICAN HONDA, THEY IGNORED IT (AND, AS THEY ALWAYS DO, TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALER). SINCE THEN, HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO TRULY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. AN INVESTIGATION (AND A POSSIBLE RECALL) SHOULD BE INITIATED.

THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT IN THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD EARLY ON EXHIBITED A NUMBER OF ISSUES, ONE OF THEM BEING, POOR CONNECTIVITY VIA BLUETOOTH. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING WRONG BATTERY STATUS FOR THE CONNECTED DEVICE.
THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT IN THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD EARLY ON EXHIBITED A NUMBER OF ISSUES, ONE OF THEM BEING, POOR CONNECTIVITY VIA BLUETOOTH. IN THIS INSTANCE, WHILE THE DEVICE WAS DISCONNECTED INTENTIONALLY, THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT FAILED TO RETAIN THE DEVICE'S INFORMATION AND FAILED TO RECONNECT UPON A MANUALLY-INITIATED REQUEST FROM THE DEVICE LATER.
A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE 2018 ACCORD, HONDA HAD TO PUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS GOING TO ADDRESS AND ISSUE WITH THE BACK-UP CAMERA (WHICH ALWAYS SEEMED TO WORK FINE, AT LEAST ON MY CAR). SHORTLY AFTER THE UPDATE, THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT HAD STARTED TO RANDOMLY (AND RATHER FREQUENTLY) RESET ITSELF EVERY FEW DAY. HONDA (AFTER SOME TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REACH OUT TO THE HONDA OF AMERICA HQ) HAD FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND, EVENTUALLY, BEGRUDGINGLY HAD ADMITTED TO THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THEY HAD FAILED TO PRODUCE A FIX FOR MONTHS. MY VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX APPLIED AND KEEPS HAVING RESETS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY (WHICH USES THE SAME SYSTEM), WHO FINALLY GAVE UP AND GOT RID OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF RECALLS (AND, TO SOME EXTENT, VERY POOR HANDLING OF THE ISSUES BY HONDA DEALER(S) AND HONDA), BUT THEY HAD TO HAVE THEIR UNIT PHYSICALLY REPLACED. SUPPOSEDLY, THERE NOW A RECALL, BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (SURPRISE, NOT). AS IT STANDS, HONDA MAY HAVE USED A PIECE OF HW WHICH HAS A BUILT-IN FAILURE (THIS COULD BE MORE INSIDIOUS THAN JUST A SW FIX) AND IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS IT IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. WHY CAN'T THIS BE DONE VIA A 'SIMPLE' SW UPDATE THE WAY 21ST CENTURY CAR-MAKERS DO? OR IS HONDA SIMPLY HIDING AN INEVITABLE FAILURE VIA SW UPDATE? ON THE NOTED DATE, THIS WAS YET ANOTHER RESET OF THE UNIT. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 27,500 MILES, BUT HAS EXHIBITED THIS BEHAVIOR FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES/OVER A YEAR.

SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE.
THIS IS A COMPLAINT FOR A UNIQUE OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM ON THIS DATE. IN SOME INSTANCES, IT SEEMS THAT THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS POTENTIALLY PULLING NOXIOUS FUMES IN FROM THE ENGINE BAY AND IN OTHERS, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MOISTURE RETENTION WHEN AC IS RUN. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO FORCE FOUL SMELLING AIR IN TO THE CAB. HONDA HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE (I.E. RETAIN THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM OR SOMETHING ELSE).

2018 HONDA ACCORD WITH 10 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED A VERY VIOLENT UPSHIFT AT LOW SPEEDS (TAKING OFF FROM THE PARKING LOT). THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND, OF COURSE, A DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AS THEY ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR, MAYBE, AN HOUR, WHILE THE ISSUE OCCURS EVERY SO MANY HUNDREDS OF MILES (CAN'T QUITE PIN DOWN THE EXACT INTERVAL).

CAR WILL APPLY BRAKES FOR NO REASON,, WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND BRAKES WILL APPLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAR WOULD STOP.
AIRBAG WARNING SIGN COMES AND DISAPPEARS RANDOMLY. ATTACHED IS THE WARNING SIGN. THERE ARE OTHER ACCORDS THAT SHOWED RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. I THINK MY CAR IS ALSO IN THE CATEGORY. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A MONTH. LIGHT APPEARS BOTH WHILE STOPPED AND IN MOTION, RANDOMLY AND STAYS FOR SO LONG THE CAR IS ON AND THE DISAPPEARS WHEN RESTARTED THE CAR.
MY CAR PASSENGER SIDE TAIL GATE TRUNK LED LIGHT DAMAGED.
I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE'S CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY. HER SPEED WAS 55 MPH. I HAD THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) ON MY VEHICLE SET FOR 70 MPH, SO NATURALLY I WAS ONLY 'PACING' HER AT HER SLOWER SPEED, ABOUT FOUR CAR-LENGTHS BACK. SUDDENLY, MY CAR ACCELERATED RAPIDLY TOWARD MY WIFE'S CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION. AT THAT MOMENT, A WARNING APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATING THAT RADAR OBSTRUCTED. BUT EVEN THEN, I WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE SAME SCENARIO FOUR MORE TIMES BEFORE TURNING OFF ACC FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHILE THE CAR WAS SURGING FORWARD, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME, EVEN THOUGH THERE CLEARLY WAS. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF MY CAR 'COULDN'T SEE' AND DECIDED TO ACCELERATE ANYWAY. THE SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE FAILED IN A SAFE MANNER, BUT IT CLEARLY DID NOT.
WHEN THE CAR IS SWITCHED ON AND STARTED DRIVING, RANDOMLY THE YELLOW PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE CENTER DASHBOARD WOULD START BLINKING. BLINKS WITH A 5 SECOND GAP ALMOST. AND RANDOMLY AFTER THAT HAPPENS, I GET THE ARE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASH SAYING "SUPPLIMENT SYSTEM RESTRAINT PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER". IN ORDER TO RESET THIS, I HAVE TO SWITCH OFF THE CAR, WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND START AGAIN. SOMETIMES THIS ISSUE WOULD COME RIGHT AWAY AFTER STARTING THE CAR, SOMETIME NOT FOR DAYS. READING THE CODE, IT'S GAVE THE FOLLOWING CODE B00D5-14.
2 ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING IS THAT WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE RADIO GOES CRAZY ( INTERFERENCE). DEALER NOTIFIED AND APPARENTLY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO NO FIX FOR IT YET. THE OTHER ISSUE IS WITH CMBS IT FAILED 2WICE IN THE PAST 3 DAYS. CONDITIONS OF THE ROAD WERE GOOD, ( NO SNOW, NO RAIN) AND THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY. BOTH TIMES THE SYSTEM FAILS TO OPERATE MID CRUSE AND SHUTS OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO WORK IS BY RESTARTING THE CAR BUT THIS IS NOT AN OPTION DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY.
ALL LIGHTS IN MY DASH CAME ON, BRAKE, ENGINE, STEERING, COLLISION, ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT IN TO PRIORITY HONDA AND WAS TOLD IT WAS CRACKED SPARK PLUGS AND IT WAS FIXED. I PAID $260. SIX DAYS LATER SAME THING. SAME DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT. SAID IT WAS FIX, SENT ME ON MY WAY, BUT TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPLACE SPARK PLUG COVER. SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A 4TH TIME. WAS TOLD I HAD BAD FUEL INJECTORS. COST $1700, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $200 DEDUCTIBLE. PROBABLY IS MY CAR WAS BRAND NEW WHEN PURCHASED AND I'M UNDER 5YR, 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. SO WHY AM I PAYING ANYTHING IF IT IS A POWERTRAIN FAILURE AND I'M UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR, AND I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT DID. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS DECEMBER 5, 2020. BEFORE THAT WAS TWICE IN NOVEMBER BUT I WOULD HAVE TO VERIFY EXACT DATE BASED ON WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I SERVICE MY CAR, AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN SUBPAR. I COULDN'T EVEN GET A COMPLIMENTARY RENTAL UNLESS I PAID OUT OF POCKET.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK HONDA BRADENTON (5515 14TH ST W, BRADENTON, FL 34207) AND WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED DUE TO THE WARNING LIGHTS NO LONGER BEING ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SHE HAD REPLACED THE BATTERY. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAILURE CODE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED THE CONTACT AND THE CONTACT EXPLAINED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT FUEL INJECTION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER 36,000 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND NEGOTIATED A PRICE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
PASSENGER REAR BRAKE PAD ON CALIPER SIDE IS WORN TO WEAR INDICATOR. ALL OTHER PADS FRONT AND REAR ARE NORMAL. CALIPER APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AS IT WAS LOCKED INTO POSITION AGAINST ROTOR AND ONLY THAT PAD WAS WORN
WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE WARNS POTENTIAL COLLISION AND TRIES TO BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE AND PUSH A LITTLE, THE WARNING GOES AWAY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE AT 50 OR 60 MPH THE CAR WARNS AND TRIES TO BRAKE HARD. GOD KNOWS WHEN THE CAR BRAKES ONE DAY REALLY HARD AND CAUSES ACCIDENT FOR A FAULTY SENSOR. THERE'S ALWAYS NOTHING AHEAD WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING COMES. WHEN THE WARNING COMES, THERE'S ALWAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AHEAD, SIMPLY EMPTY ROAD AHEAD. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR.
THE BRAKE ROTORS CORRODE PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2018 AND THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED IN NOVEMBER 2019 WITH 18,000 MILES OF USE. THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS - GENUINE HONDA INSTALLED BY DEALER - ARE CORRODING AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. MILEAGE IS NOW 23,000. THE VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HAS FOUL SMELL. TOOK CAR INTO THE DEALER BUT THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE IT.
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING. CAR STOPS ACCELERATING I LIMP OVER TO THE MEDIAN. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE CAR HAS A SOLID CHECK ENGINE ON ALONG WITH ALL THE ASSISTING LIGHTS ON. THE CAR ACCELERATES LIKE NORMAL AND WHEN I GET HOME I DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND EVERYTHING CLEARS ONCE I RECONNECT. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE I GO TO TURN MY CAR ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T GO PAST 1500 RPMS AND IT'S BASICALLY IN LIMP MODE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN TO GO ALONG WITH ROAD DEPARTURE SYSTEM, VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL , COLLISION MITIGATION AND EMISSION SYSTEM WARNINGS ALL LIGHT UP. I DID THE SAME THING DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND AGAIN THEY ALL GO AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A MONTH. AT LEAST 9 TIMES WHERE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ONCE WHEN I'M TRAVELING AS EXPLAINED AND 2 TIMES WHERE IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE FROM THE START. TOOK VEHICLE TO A FRIEND AND GOT A P0303 CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. HAVING DONE RESEARCH OF THE CODE NOTICED THAT 2012-2018 HONDA'S HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES ADDRESSED BY A BULLETIN AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THOSE VEHICLES. MY CAR HAS 70K AND IT'S CURRENTLY OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THANK YOU.
IN DECEMBER 2019, MY CAR AIR CONDITIONER WAS MAKING AN UNUSAL NOISE WHEN BEING TURNED ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN THERE SAID THAT THE AIR CONDENSER WAS LEAKING. HE ADDED THAT IT WOULD BE A >$1000 CHARGE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS NOT TOO HOT, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT A BIG ISSUE SO I DID NOT FIX IT THEN. HOWEVER, IN JUNE 2020, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING WARM AIR AND IT WAS A HOT SUMMER SO I HAD TO PAY >$1000 TO FIX IT BY THE DEALER. I SAW THE RECALL FOR HONDA CIVIC MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR BEING CLAIMED FOR THE SAME ISSUE SO I TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY WERE SAYING THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO HONDA ACCORD MODELS. HOWEVER, MY BROTHER, WHO HAS THE SAME MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR, HAD THE SAME ISSUE SO HE HAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS WELL. I ALSO HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR CASES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER OF THE SAME MODEL MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR. I BELIEVE, JUST LIKE THE CIVIC MODELS, A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IF YOU GOOGLE "HONDA ACCORD AIR CONDITIONER', IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND THE ISSUE. I HOPE MY APPEAL PREVENTS ANY UNFORTUNATE, UNEXPECTED AND STILL UNFAIR COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS. THIS IS AN AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM SO IN SUMMER THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE THOROUGHLY. - OWNER OF 2018 HONDA ACCORD
THE 2018 ACCORDS HAVE A SYSTEM CALLED "BRAKE HOLD" WHICH IS INTENDED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHILE A VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT, SAY, A STOP-LIGHT. THE INTENT SEEMS TO BE TO ALLOW THE DRIVER TO HAVE THEIR FOOT ON THE GAS, INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM FREQUENTLY HAS AN ISSUE WHERE IT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO CREEP. THIS, GENERALLY, SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER, PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR IS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A SLOW ROLL, THEN STOPPED (USING THE BRAKE PEDAL) AND AS SOON AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASE, THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM FAILS TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN THE STOPPED POSITION. AFTER A SIGNIFICANT DELAY, THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS ENGAGED, BUT THE VEHICLES HAD, AT THAT POINT, LURCHED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES, IF NOT OVER A FOOT. THIS INDICATES (JUST AS WITH THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM DELAYS, DISCUSSED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS) THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH THE TIMING OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM UTILIZED IN THE BRAKE HOLD, THE SENSOR(S) OR BOTH, WHERE THE SYSTEM FAILS TO DETECT THE CONDITIONS IN REAL TIME AND REACTS IN A DELAYED MANNER. AGAIN, AS WITH OTHER ISSUES ON THE LATER HONDA MODELS, HONDA HAS FAILED TO PERFORM COMPREHENSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING OF THE ISSUE (EVEN AFTER ME TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AS INDICATED BY HONDA)>
THE CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM) HAD ANOTHER FAILURE. THIS IS DUE TO THE RADAR SENSOR BEING BLOCKED AND THEN OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE HAVING CASCADING FAILURES. LAST WINTER, THE RADAR SENSOR HAD FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY AND I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY, SUPPOSEDLY, PERFORMED SOME SORT OF AN ADJUSTMENT. DURING A PHONE CALL WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE, THE REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMED THAT "THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN." HOWEVER, WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE CLAIMING THAT THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE CMBS SYSTEM, EVERY TIME THE RADAR SENSOR IS BLOCKED, DIRECTING ME TO "TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER." HENCE, SHE LIED. FURTHERMORE, THE FAILURES INDICATE HONDA'S FAILURE IN PRODUCING A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT IS RELIABLE IN A WIDE RANGE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. HONDA CEO RECENTLY CLAIMED THAT HONDA WILL BE PRODUCING LEVEL 3 AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. THAT IS HORRIFYING, CONSIDERING HONDA CAN'T EVEN MAKE A CMBS AND A RADAR SENSOR THAT DOES NOT FAIL CONSTANTLY. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE HONDA RECALL ALL THE MODELS WHICH USE THE RADAR SENSOR AND THE CMBS THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN THE 2018 ACCORD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT. PLEASE.
PURCHASED IN MAY 2019. CURRENTLY < 50,000 MILES. ALL SERVICE PERFORMED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BEGAN TO NOTICE GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, THOUGH IT WAS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE/OTHER VEHICLES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LAST WEEK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, WAS TOLD THE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, CYLINDER 3 ISSUE. LAST RESORT WAS TO DO A FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING SERVICE, HAD THAT DONE. TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. I AM NOT CONVINCED THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRED A RECALL FOR MANY 2018 ACCORDS WITH 2.0T ENGINES ARE NOT ALSO IMPACTING 1.5T ENGINES.
ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN PARKED AND IN ACCESSORY MODE FOR A FEW MINUTES ALL DASHBOARD AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING WILDLY AND BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING APPEARED. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. AFTER EXITING THE CAR AND RETURNING LATER, THE CAR STARTED AS NORMAL.
I HAVE CHANGED TWO BATTERIES SINCE I BOUGHT IT FIRST BATTERY THAT IT CAME WITH COMPLETELY DIED AND COULDN'T EVEN GET A JUMP. CHANGED IT AND NOW I HAVE TO KEEP GETTING JUMP EVERYDAY. MY WINDSHIELD HAS ALSO CRACKED TWICE FROM PASSENGER SIDE TO DRIVER SIDE. NO PUNCTURE MARK INDICATING SOMETHING HIT IT.
ENGINE KNOCKS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY UPHILL. OCEAN HONDA IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA HAS CHECKED, DID DRIVE TESTS AND KEPT MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND ASSURED ME THE KNOCKING AND HESITATION WERE GONE. THEY EVEN INSISTED THEY DID NOT ENCOUNTER ANY KNOCKING NOR HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AND DRIVING UPHILL. IT ALWAYS DOES BOTH AND NEVER WENT AWAY.
FOR SECOND TIME ALL SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AFTER STARTING ENGINE INCLUDING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE AND TOOK TO DEALER FOR A RESET.
WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A CITY STREET USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, MY ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF SUDDENLY. THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO MY HONDA SENSORS NOR WERE THERE ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS.
A FEW MONTHS I STARTED HAVE A PROBLEM WITHE THE MY CAR .I LET MY CAR FOR SHORT TIME LIKE LESS THAN ONE HOUR WITH THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON ..BUT THE ENGINE WAS OFF (THE CAR WAS STATIONARY). SO WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FROM THE PLACE WHERE I WERE I STAR THE ENGINE AND IT DIDN'T WORK AND ALL THE LIGHT GO ON LIKE CRAZY AND 3 MESSAGE SHOWED ON THE SCREEN THAT SAID IT WAS SAFETY TO DRIVE AND THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE BREAK SYSTEM PROBLEM , ANTI-BREAK SYSTEM PROBLEM AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM. SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY SO THEY TOLD TO TURN OFF AND TURN THE ENGINE ON AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT HE DRIVES IT FOR A CERTAIN TIME AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GO OUT AND SINCE MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TEMPERATURES WE HAD. BUT IT WAS LIKE THAT I MEAN THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING "GOOD" BUT I'M NOT FELL SAFETY .I ALREADY TOOK THE THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT AND FIRST TIME THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE ALL THE LIGHT GO OUT SO THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FOUND ANYTHING SO THE SECOND TIME THE HAPPENED THE SAME THING I RECORDED A VIDEO AND PHOTOS SO I SHOW THEM AN THE WAY THE STAR DOING A FULL CHECK OF EVERYTHING SO THEY DIDN'T FOUND ANY THING AND STILL APPEARS THOSE 3 MESSAGE A WHEN I STAR THE ENGINE NOT ALL THE TIME BUT THEY DIDN'T FIXED ANYTHING AND THEY DON'T WANT TO CHANGE FOR R ANOTHER CAR ..I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
THE SEALS AROUND THE DOORS, WEATHER STRIPPING IS COMING LOSE, SEATS ARE FALLING APART, THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION SCREEN WILL GO BLACK AND REBOOT ITSELF. THE COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM WILL GET YOU KILLED IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. I WAS GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, HAD MY TURN SIGNAL ON. AS I'M MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, THE CAR THINKS I'VE FALLEN ASLEEP OR SOMETHING. THE CAR FORCIBLY TAKES ME BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND DOWNSHIFTS THE CAR WHILE BRAKING? SCARED ME TO DEATH. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A TURN SIGNAL ON. LUCKILY IT WAS 3AM OR I COULD'VE BEEN SMASHED. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL FLASH AT TIMES, NO ONE IS IN FRONT OF YOU. OR IT FLASHES LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO HIT SOMEONE BUT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT FLASH. ALSO, IF YOU DRIVE ANY LENGTH, IT SYSTEM WILL STATE THAT THE DRIVER HAS LOW ATTENTION SPAN. NOT SURE WHY, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M WEAVING. I THINK THE CAR NEEDS TO FEEL SOME MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING OR IT THINKS YOU'RE NODDING OFF. THE CAR SALESMAN WARNED ME THAT THE NEW BELLS AND WHISTLES, TECHNOLOGY, COULD HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE THE TECH IS NEW BUT NOTHING SPECIFIC. TRY TO SELL ME 3800 IN WARRANTY TO COVER TECH. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE AT THE TIME. NOW, I'M THINKING THAT HE KNEW SPECIFICS AND DIDN'T SHARE.
INTERMITTENLY (I.E. EVERY SO MANY HUNDREDS OF MILES), THE VEHICLE HAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT SHIFTS AT LOW SPEEDS (2-20 MILES), WHERE UPON SHIFTS IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RE-ENDED. HONDA HAS NOT PROPERLY INVESTIGATED ISSUE AS THEIR USUAL M.O. IS TO SEND THE CUSTOMER TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS FOR "TROUBLESHOOTING" WHICH, OF COURSE, IS NOT SUFFICIENT TIME-SPAN FOR THE ISSUE TO MANIFEST ITSELF. AS WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES IN THE 2016-2020 HONDA MODELS, HONDA HAS NOT PROPERLY INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND IT IS ANOTHER POTENTIAL FORESHADOWING OF A MASS FAILURE JUST AS HONDA HAD WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE 2000-2017 TIME SPAN. AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT HONDA IS UP TO THEIR WAYS AGAIN, WHEN IT COMES TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2020/HONDA-ODYSSEY-TRANSMISSION-PROBLEMS-CAUSE-LAWSUIT.SHTML IN THEIR OTHER MODELS.
ON 10/29/2020, WHILE CHANGING LANES, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY CUT THE POWER AND SLAMMED THE BRAKES, WHILE FLASHING "BRAKE" ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WERE NO VEHICLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY IN THE LANE IN TO WHICH THE CHANGE WAS PERFORMED. THE RADAR SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE HAS PREVIOUSLY CAUSE A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND THIS WAS AN EXTREME CASE OF THE CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM) REACTING IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE DECELERATION WAS ABRUPT TO THE POINT OF POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE INCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE NEW LANE IMPACTING THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. HONDA'S REPRESENTATIVES HAD SWORN LAST WINTER, WHEN THE RADAR SENSOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED TO THE POINT OF CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT CASCADED TO SEVERAL OF THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT "ISSUES WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN." THAT WAS A LIE. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA RELATED TO THE SAFETY SYSTEM IN THE CR-V MODELS: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2020/HONDA-CR-V-SENSING-LAWSUIT-SUVS-SUDDENLY-STOP.SHTML CONSIDERING THAT THE SIMILAR RADAR SENSORS ARE USED IN THE PILOT, ODYSSEY, ACCORD AND THE CR-VS, AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL SHOULD BE LAUNCHED FOR THE MAJORITY OF HONDA MODEL PRODUCED SINCE 2016. AGAIN, THE SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED A NUMBER OF TIMES, WITH HONDA FAILING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE PROPERLY UPON SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND VISITS TO A DEALER.
EARLY ON, AFTER BUYING THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT THE HOOD ON THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THEN UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR HAD BEEN HIT BY HAIL STORM. THE HOOD HAD TO BE REPLACED (AT LEAST, ACCORDING TO THE SHOP THAT DID THE WORK). THE REPLACEMENT WAS PURCHASED FROM A HONDA DEALER AND PERTAINED TO BE OEM PART. RIGHT AWAY IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE HOOD DOES NOT FIT CORRECTLY (WITHOUT ANY OBVIOUS WAY TO ADJUST THE FIT). A SECOND OEM HOOD WAS ORDERED WITH THE SAME LACK OF TOLERANCES. FOLLOWING THE INSTALLATION AND RE-PAINTING OF THE HOOD, TWO SEPARATE BODY SPECIALISTS TRIED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT WHICH RESULTED IN SLIGHTLY BETTER FIT, BUT STILL, THE HOOD (JUST AS THE ORIGINAL) VIBRATES (NOT A LITTLE, BUT AN UNSETTLING AMOUNT) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HONDA ALREADY A HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PILOT MODEL'S HOOD: HTTPS://HONDA.OEMDTC.COM/711/HOOD-FLUTTER-OR-VIBRATION-AT-HIGHWAY-SPEEDS-2016-2019-HONDA-PILOT-2017-2019-RIDGELINE AND NOW, 2018+ OWNERS ARE STARTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HOOD STABILITY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS WELL. WHEN I HAD INITIALLY RAISED THE ISSUE WITH AMERICAN HONDA, THEY IGNORED IT (AND, AS THEY ALWAYS DO, TOLD ME TO GOT TO THE DEALER). SINCE THEN, HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO TRULY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. AN INVESTIGATION (AND A POSSIBLE RECALL) SHOULD BE INITIATED.
INSIDE OF CAR STARTED RUSTING TOLD DEALERSHIP STARTING IN FEB 2020 JUST KNOW CHECKING CAR ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT WE SUBMERGED CAR IN WATER AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THEY SAID IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE
CAR LOST COMPLETE ENGINE POWER AND WAS IN TRAFFIC, IN MOTION AND LUCKILY COULD COAST INTO PARKING LOT. HONDA IS CLAIMING A MODIFIED ECU AND IS DISPUTING WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED CAR SINCE NEW AND HAVE NEVER MODIFIED ANYTHING ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED BY ME AND ONLY HAS 48,914 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. A HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED IT SO FAR AS HAVING A BROKEN SPARK PLUG TIP AND THE PISTON IS NOT MOVING UP AND DOWN -CYLINDER 1.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME DRIVING AND HAD THE VEHICLE AUTOMATIC BRAKES COME ON AND STOP IT SELF. EACH TIME 1 MONTH APART. AUGUST 24TH 2020 TOOK INTO MISLIN HONDA IN MODESTO BECAUSE REAR BRAKES WERE ALSO MAKING NOISE. FOUND OUT RIGHT REAR INNER PAD WAS COMPLETELY WORN. MENTIONED ALSO THE AUTO BREAKING ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A DUE TO THE KNOWN BRAKE CALIPER ISSUE. CALIPER AND BRAKE PAD WERE REPLACED AND WAS TOLD SENSORS WERE RESET AND SHOULD FIX AUTO BRAKING PROBLEM. RETURNED A MONTH LATER BECAUSE OF REAR BRAKE NOISE AGAIN WAS TOLD BRAKES WERE LUBED AND ROTORS RESURFACED. TONIGHT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING GOING 40MPH NO CARS IN SIGHT VEHICLE BRAKE MESSAGE CAME ON AND BRAKES SLAMMED ON CAUSING OUR DOG TO GO FLYING INSIDE OF CAR. CAR IS AT 35950 MILES 2018 AND CLOSE TO BEING OUT OF WARRANTY FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2019, BRAND NEW. IN JULY 2020 I NOTICED THE PAINT PEELING CHIPPING. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 7/14/20, 7/29/20, 8/12/20. WAS REPEATEDLY BLOWN OFF AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE CONTACTING HONDA OF AMERICA. HONDA CLAIMS THAT TREE SAP CAUSED THE PAINT TO PEEL BUT THE INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP I BROUGHT IT TO SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE OTHER SPOTS OF TREE SAP AND THAT THE TREE SAP WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FROM THE CAR. THEY SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THIS IS A BOLD FACED LIE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA OF AMERICA AND RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL ON 10/7/2020 STATING THAT THEY WERE LOOKING INTO IT. I RECEIVED ANOTHER VOICEMAIL ON 10/21/2020 STATING THAT THEY WERE STANDING BY THE ORIGINAL HONDA OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY TREE SAP. THE BODY SHOP, GEIST TOWING AND RECOVERY, STATED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THAT SINCE HONDA IS LYING ABOUT THE ACTUAL CAUSE THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND STRIPPING THE ENTIRE CAR AND REPAINTING. IF THEY WERE HONEST ONLY THE SUN FACING SURFACES MAY REQUIRE REPAIR.
THE CLEAR COAT AND PAINT STARTED PEELING ON THE DOORS.
AT 49,000 MILES I'M ON MY SECOND SET OF TIRES AND NEEDING A NEW SET. MY SERVICEMAN RECOMMENDED I ADD A CAMBER KIT TO MY CAR IN THE REAR (REAR WHEELS) OR I'LL HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING MY TIRES. THIS IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE. I HAVE MY TIRES CHECKED AND ROTATED EVERY OIL CHANGE.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM' (CMBS'), FAILED. DURING DRIVING ALL OF SUDDEN AMBER LIGHTS OF COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM' (CMBS'), WERE TURNED ON AND DISABLE THE ASSISTANCE SAFETY TECHNOLOGY FEATURES THAT HELP PREVENT COLLISIONS USING VEHICLE SENSORS.
GRINDING OF REAR BRAKES WHEN DRIVING. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED 1 OF 4 REAR INNER BRAKE PADS WAS WORN. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS IN 2020 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. DEALER TREATED SYMPTOM BY REPLACING WORN PAD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRESS FRACTURE IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT OCCURRED WITHOUT AN IMPACT TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED BY CROWN HONDA OF SOUTHPOINT (1001 SOUTHPOINT AUTOPARK BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27713; (984) 300-4924). THE CONTACT STATED THAT FIVE DAYS AFTER THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED, THE NEW WINDSHIELD HAD A STRESS FRACTURE AS WELL. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE SAME DEALER, WHO INQUIRED IF THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN SPORT MODE AT THE TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN SPORT MODE THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT THE SECOND INCIDENT. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, HE HEARD AN ABNORMAL CRACKING SOUND. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD STARTED TO FRACTURE FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO IMPACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,135.
I'VE HAD MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED 2 TIMES ON MY ACCORD FOR CRACKS DUE TO ROAD DEBRIS HITTING IT IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I WILL HAVE A 3RD REPLACEMENT SOON DUE TO THE SAME CRACKING / FRAGILITY OF THESE WINDSHIELDS. THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE INCREDIBLY SOFT TO THE POINT THAT THEY PIT RATHER EASILY FROM PEBBLES HITTING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HONDA SHOULD OFFER A REPLACEMENT ON ALL 2018 ACCORDS WITH STRONGER GLASS. MANY ONLINE FORUMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS WITH 10TH GEN ACCORD OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELDS. THEY ARE UNSAFE AND CAUSING UNDUE INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASES BECAUSE OF HOW SOFT THE GLASS IS.
THE PAINT ROOF MY2018 ACCORD SPORT IS PEELING OFF
I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER NIGHT AT 9PM. DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOUT 65 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I HAD PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AND AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BY CAR STARTED SENDING ME WARNING NOTICES. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. I WAS TOLD I PROBABLY HAD BUGS ON ONE OF THE FRONT SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER A GOOD CLEANING OF THISE AREAS THIS STILL DIDN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE HONDA IS KNOWN FOR IT'S SAFETY BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT THE CASE ANYMORE.
2018 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND IN PARK IT BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY BACKWARDS ALMOST STRIKING THE DRIVER. *JS
THE STEERING SEEMS TO HAVE A NOTCH OR A FLAT SPOT IN IT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND TO CORRECT IT WHEN YOU APPLY PRESSURE TO SWITCH LANES YOU WILL OVERSTEER THE VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN TWO REAR END COLLISIONS AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE AUTO BRAKE ACTIVATED HOWEVER THERE WAS A PIECE ON THE CENTER CONSOLE THAT HAD BECOME DISLODGED THAT TRAPPED HIS FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP DUE TO HIS FOOT BEING TRAPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN FROM THE SCENE. THE DEALER HONDA OF DOWNTOWN CHICAGO (1111 N CLARK ST STE 2, CHICAGO, IL 60610 (312) 766-1095) HAD THE BUMPER, LIGHT AND THE ONBOARD COMPUTER REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. HOWEVER, THE ISSUES RECURRED WITH THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING ,THE BACKUP CAMERA AND THE PARKING SENSOR ON THE ONBOARD COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED . THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND ALL OF THOSE ISSUES WERE FIXED EXCEPT THE CENTER CONSOLE PIECE THAT KEEPS DISLODGING. THE MANUFACTURER SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. THE CONSOLE PIECE REMAINS UNFIXED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.
THE CMBS, SPEED FOLLOW ARE NOT WORKING WHEN YOU DRIVE 40MILES IN THE FREEWAY AND IT SAY ALWAYS SEE YOUR DEALER AND THE SEATBELT ARE VERY STIFF
MOST TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN THEN HITTING ACCELERATOR, TO SPEED BACK UP, THE CAR "STUTTERS" INDICATING IT IS BEING ROBBED OF FUEL. NOTICED HONDA HAS A RECALL IN FOR FUEL INJECTORS, BUT MY CAR IS YET TO BE COVERED.
EVERY TIME I TRY TO DISENGAGE THE PARKING BREAK IT SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEMS IS FAILING.
THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ROUGH AROUND 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. TODAY WHEN I LEFT THE GROCERY STORE AND WAS DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, IT JERKED ABOUT 4 TIMES BEFORE IT DECIDED TO DRIVE SMOOTHLY. HOWEVER, ON OCCASION, IT HAS SHIFTED SO HARD THAT EVERYTHING FELL OFF MY SEAT AND ONE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO STALL IN THE INTERSECTION WHEN I HAD STARTED UP AFTER WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT. I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN MAY, 2018 AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IS JUST HOW IT RUNS. I'VE HAD TWO OTHER HONDAS AND LOVED THEM. I DOUBT THIS IS THE WAY HONDA INTENDED THIS VEHICLE TO RUN. FOR 2 1/2 YEARS I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION DIRECTLY. I RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR SERVICE. IT WAS THE SAME SONG AND DANCE. TODAY I WAS PRICING WHAT MY CAR WAS WORTH AND I NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN, IT SAYS MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED. FOR A MOMENT THERE, I THOUGHT JUST MAYBE I COULD FINALLY GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. NO SUCH LUCK.
IN JANUARY ,I MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME AND STOP RUNNING. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE, AND I FELT LIKE I PUT MYSELF AND 2 OTHER PASSENGERS IN DANGER. I TOOK IT INTO MY DEALER COGGIN HONDA IN FORT PIERCE FLORIDA TO BE CHECKED. THEY FOUND NO OBVIOUS REASON FOR THIS STALL. SOMETIME LATER, I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP THAT DESCRIBED MY EVENT EXACTLY AS I HAD EXPERIENCED IT. WHEN I CHECKED THE RECALL, MY VIN # [XXX] IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND YOUR PUBLIC RELATIONS THAT SAID THEY CAN NOT REPAIR MY CAR BECAUSE ITS NOT ON THE LIST. I HAVE SAFELY DRIVEN HONDAS FOR MANY YEARS BUT WITH THIS SITUATION I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HESITATE TO TRADE IT IN FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DRIVE. CAN YOU HELP ME AND GIVE MY DEALER PERMISSION TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THIS FUEL PUMP AT YOUR EXPENSE AS IT SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST ?

AC COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH WENT OUT AT 26K MILES AND WAS REPLACED ON AUGUST 22 NINE 2019AND AGAIN AT 53K MILES. IT WAS REPLACED BY TAMERON HONDA IN HOOVER ALABAMA. IT HAS BEEN OUT SINCE 53,000 MILES AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED BECAUSE I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PART.
PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING ON HOOD, ROOF, DOORS AND DOOR HANDLES. CAR IS PARKED IN GARAGE EVERY NIGHT AND IN PRIVATE PARKING SPACE AT WORK. NEVER UNDER A TREE OR EXPOSED TO ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
THE SCREEN FREQUENTLY POPS UP THE WARNING OF TIRES, ABS AND OTHER ISSUES ON THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER. AFTER INSPECTION, EVERYTHING IS FINE. IT SUSPECTED AS BUGS FOR THE SYSTEM, BUT REALLY MISLEADING AND IMPACTED ON THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM HAD EXISTED FOR 1+ YEAR WITHOUT FIX.
REAR ROTOR ARE TOTALLY WORN OUT. JUST HAPPEN 7/31/2020, PURCHASE JAN 01/01/2028. HONDA ACCORD SPORT 1.5T. 43K ON. ITS VERY UNUSUAL THIS HAPPEN TO A REAR ROTOR AND BRAKES .USUALLY FRONT FIRST BUT YES THIS IS JUST A NOTE TO ALL 20'S HONDA TO BE AWARE OF BUYING THIS TYPE OF CAR. PLEASE HELP EVERY ONE SO CONSUMER ARE BE PROTECTED TO THESE RIPOFF. THANK YOU BE SAFE OUT THERE.
FUEL IS LEAKING INTO ENGINE OIL. MY MECHANIC SAID HE CAN SMELL THE FUEL IN THE OIL WHEN CHANGING OIL. ALSO THE OIL LEVEL INCREASES WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL OVER TIME. THIS OCCURS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER GETTING COFFEE WITH ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING " COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM FAULT" PLEASE VISIT DEALER", I'VE READ THAT IT CAN GET BUG JUICE ON IT AND CAUSE IT TO SAY THAT BUT I WIPED MINE OFF AND IT IS STILL SAYING THAT AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR, HAVE READ FROM MANY CAR GROUPS THAT THIS HAPPENS ALOT WITH THESE CARS.
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING OF THE CAR WHICH SO FAR HAS ONLY PRESENTED ITSELF IN WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE LOWER. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 WHEN THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 18,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED TO ME AS A NEW VEHICLE, AND I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS SPENT APPRECIABLE TIME DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55+ MPH IN COLD WEATHER, IT REQUIRES HIGHER THAN NORMAL EFFORT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FROM ITS ON-CENTER POSITION (SUCH AS TO MAKE MINOR CORRECTIONS TO MAINTAIN LANE POSITION). IF ENOUGH EFFORT IS EXERTED, THE STEERING WHEEL BREAKS FREE AND THEN ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE STEERED WITH NORMAL EFFORT UNTIL THE WHEEL AGAIN REMAINS ON-CENTER FOR A FEW SECONDS, AT WHICH POINT IT BECOMES "STICKY" AGAIN, REQUIRING HIGH EFFORT TO MOVE. AT THIS POINT IT ONLY OCCURS AT THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT MY CONCERN IS THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE EFFORT BECOME ANY HIGHER, REQUIRING SUCH FORCE TO MOVE THE WHEEL THAT THE RESULT WILL BE TO SWERVE OUT OF ONE'S LANE WHEN IT BREAKS FREE, OR EVEN LOCKING ON CENTER ALTOGETHER, MAKING THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE BY THE DRIVER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A PURELY MECHANICAL ISSUE (E.G. AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING RACK) BECAUSE TURNING THE IGNITION OFF RETURNS THE STEERING TO NORMAL EFFORT AND THE "STICKING" IS RESOLVED. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL NHTSA COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND IN INTERNET SEARCHES THAT DESCRIBE PRECISELY THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE REPORTED IT TODAY, 7/23/2020, TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR - TOM KADLEC HONDA IN ROCHESTER, MN - AS I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BEFORE COLD TEMPERATURES RETURN.
2018 ACCORD RANDOMLY AND AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES HARD WHEN NO OBVIOUS HAZARD IS AROUND. THE ACC WILL TURN OFF AND ERROR IS DISPLAYED SAYING SEE YOUR DEALER. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF IT RESETS AND ACC IS RUNNING AGAIN. I AM GETTING VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THIS CAR ON HIGHWAYS.
ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM KICKS ON AND WILL VIOLENTLY STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. EACH TIME THERE HAS BEEN NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR EVEN NEAR ME THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR. ADDITIONALLY, EACH TIME I WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER THAN 45-50 MILE PER HOUR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME BUT AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT BY QUICKLY SHIFTING OVER TO THE NEXT LANE. THIS ACTION OF COURSE CAUSED A POTENTIAL ROAD RAGE EXCHANGE BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAD NO IDEA MY CAR HAD MALFUNCTIONED.
I RECENTLY FINANCED A VEHICLE THRU AMERICAN FINANCE CORPORATION VIA VANDERGRIFF HONDA (1104 W I-20 ; ARLINGTON, TEXAS 76017). SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE A RECALL REPAIR WAS REQUIRED FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS WORK WAS DONE AND COMPLETED ON JUNE 30TH, 2020. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON JULY 1ST, 2020 FROM THE SERVICE CENTER. ON JULY 9TH, 2020 THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND STALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT. I PHONED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE GIVING MY VEHICLE ID AND LOCATION,THEREAFTER A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND TOWED TO THE VEHICLE TO RUSTY WALLIS HONDA. I WAS CONTACTED BY [XXX] (SERVICE ADVISOR) WHO INFORMED THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED MY VEHICLE FROM OVERNIGHT AND THAT "THEY WERE ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE". SHE ALSO STATED THAT IF THE ISSUE TURNS OUT TO BE THE BATTERY, THAT VANDERGRIFF HONDA WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THIS PURCHASE WAS WITHIN 30DAYS. THE NEXT CALL I RECEIVED I WAS INFORMED THAT ISSUE WAS NOT THE BATTERY, BUT RATHER A "GAS ISSUE". AT THAT MOMENT I INFORMED HER THAT THE RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS COMPLETED ON JUNE 30TH WAS THE "FUEL PUMP MOTOR". WITH THIS INFORMATION NOTED THAT SINCE THAT WAS A RECALL REPAIR( THE FUEL PUMP MOTOR) THAT REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD UPDATE ME ON THE CONTINUING REPAIR. I WAS CONTACTED THE NEXT DAY BY AND INFORMED ME THAT A FUEL INJECTOR RAIL PART THAT WAS NEEDED IS BEING ORDERED, HOWEVER BECAUSE IT WAS SATUDAY THAT THIS PART WOULD NOT BE IN STOCK UNTIL TUEDAY JULY 14, 2020. ON JULY 15TH I CALLED INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. UPON SPEAKING TO A GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME OF [XXX] WHO ANSWERED THE TELEPHONE. [XXX] EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY CAR WAS STILL DISABLED AND THAT HE WOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER (ASKING FOR A 30 -40 MINUTES FOR AN UPDATE FOR ME. THIS WAS 19 HOURS AGO. I WAS REACHING OUT TO THIS AGENCY TO INQUIRE OF MY OPTIONS AND RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO THIS CONTRACT. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
MOST RECENTLY,I WAS DROPPING OFF A FRIEND. WITH MY CAR RUNNING AND IN PARK. THE DASH BOARD LIT UP WITH MANY WARNINGS LKA,MITIGATION, THE BRAKE DEFECTIVE.(SEE DEALER IMMEDIATELY) I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING (SUNDAY) BACK TO NORMAL. L MONDAY MORNING I'M AT THE HONDA DEALER, COUNTING TWO OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMSTHIS MAKES THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT FIND CODES OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM COME GET IT. I TOLD THEM I WAS TIRED OF DRIVING A DANGEROUS AND UNRELIABLE CAR. I BOUGHT FOR 40000.DEC21,2017,IT HAS223?? MILES AND G.M. OFFERED ME21800. FOR CAR(WITHOUT TAXES)
EVENING BEFORE PROBLEM STARTED IT WAS A HEAVY RAIN IN NYC. MORNING I STARTED THE CAR AND WAS IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED 4 MESSAGES: "LKAS: LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER.". "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER.", "BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER.", "AUTO HIGH BEAM PROBLEM. MANUAL CONTROLS AVAILABLE. SEE YOUR DEALER.". TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK. HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. TRUNK RELEASE DID NOT WORK. BACKUP CAMERA DID NOT WORK. MOVED TO DEALER (25 MINUTES AWAY). BUT DID NOT START THE SERVICE. AFTER TURNING OFF AND START THE CAR AGAIN ALL DISPLAYED FAILURES WERE GONE. WAITING FOR THE NEXT HEAVY RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAINGER HONDA (1596 CHATHAM PKWY, SAVANNAH, GA 31408) TO BE INSPECTED. THERE WAS NO CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 27,000.
WHILE DRIVING NOTICED AC BLOWING HOT AIR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, ISSUE: CONDENSER LEAKING FREON. NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. ADVISED TO CALL DEALERSHIP AS THEY HAD A RECALL ON 2016 HONDAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I PROBABLY HIT SOMETHING THAT PUNCTURED IT. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. APPARENTLY THE FREON LEAKING IS FLAMMABLE. IF OTHER VEHICLES FROM HONDA WERE RECALLED THIS COULD LIKELY BE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A 2018 MODEL.
AC CONDENSER LEAKING NEW TYPE OF REFRIGERANT (1234YF) WHICH APPARENTLY IS FLAMMABLE. HONDA SERVICE REP SAYS CONDENSER WAS "PROBABLY" PUNCTURED BY A FOREIGN OBJECT FROM THE ROAD. HOWEVER, HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED DEFECTIVE CONDENSERS LEAKING REFRIGERANT IN 2018 CIVICS AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES FOR 10 YEARS FOR THESE AND OTHER MODEL YEARS. I SUSPECT THAT MY ACCORD CONDENSER WAS MANUFACTURED WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR DEFECT. I PURCHASED MY ACCORD IN SPRING OF 2018 AT A TIME WHEN NOT MANY WERE BEING SOLD, WHICH MAY EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS NOT YET A RECOGNIZED DEFECT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN COMMUTING, UNTIL RECENTLY, LONG DISTANCES FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY KIND OF AC PROBLEM OR HAD A FOREIGN OBJECT PUNCTURE AN AC CONDENSER. IN ANY EVENT, AS I UNDERSTAND THE NEW REFRIGERANT IS FLAMMABLE, SO IF THIS IS ANOTHER MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEN IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
REAR BREAKS WEAR OUT ONLY AFTER 14,000 MILES. PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW AND REAR BREAKS DID NOT LAST MORE THAN 14,000 MILES. I AM VERY GENTLE DRIVER AND EXPECT TO REAR BREAKS TO LAST AT LEAST 24,000 OR MORE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY CAR JUST BRAKES. IT DOESN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. IF I DON'T PUT ON MY TURN SIGNAL BEFORE I START TO CHANGE LANES IT WILL BRAKE. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT IT HAS STARTED DOING IT MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR
PAINT IS PEELING ON THE FRONT BUMPER, TRUNK, HOOD, AND DOOR HANDLES. PAINT APPEARS TO BE CORRODING ON THE DOOR HANDLE AND RUBS OFF EVEN MORE WHEN TOUCHED. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE DOOR HANDLES IN 2019 AND HAS NOW SPREADED TO OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED AT MY HOME WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUE. BOTH IN 2019 AND ON TODAY, 6/19/2020. *TR
SO THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WITH THE CRASH MITIGATION SYSTEM TURNED ON. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TRIGGER THE SYSTEM WITH A FALSE POSITIVE CRASH DETECTION AND WILL EMERGENCY BRAKE FOR YOU AND CUT THE GAS SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD A FEW FALSE POSITIVES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES WAS A COMPLETE HORROR STORY. I WAS DRIVING IN A HIGH-SPEED ENVIRONMENT, WHILE A TRUCK WAS MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY, I WAS SUPPOSED TO ACCELERATE PAST HIM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BEEPED AND HALT TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY THE SEMI EVADED ME AND I REGAIN CONTROL AND SPEED OUT OF THE WAY. 2ND TIME WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER SEMI, I WAS LUCKY THAT PEOPLE GOT OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE TRUCK TO CLEAR ME. THE 3RD TIME OCCURRED JUST LAST WEEK ON THURSDAY. THERE WAS A CAR 5 CAR DISTANCE FROM ME, LEFT OF ME HAS A ROW OF CARS MAKING A LEFT, FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WELL, SOMEHOW IT DECIDED TO GO APE[XXX] AND CAUSED ME TO GET REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PLEASE SEE DEALER . THAT'S THE MESSAGE THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS ON THE DASHBOARD . HAS APPEARED 3 TIMES IN 7 MONTHS . APPEARS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA RECALL 18V-629/MFR ID V2F (REAR CAMERA). AFTER BEING "REPAIRED" ONCE UNDER THIS RECALL, THE REAR CAMERA FAILED A SECOND TIME! THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN THEY LEARNED THAT I HAD ALREADY HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE (BY THEM), THEY CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA. HONDA THEN REQUIRED ME TO PAY FOR A BRAND NEW CAMERA FOR MY 2018 ACCORD WHICH WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. *TR
AUTO BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. NO CARS, NO BIKES AROUND. IT SIMPLY STOPPED IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR
TACHMETER DISAPEARED HAVIG SOFTWARE ISSUE GLITCH AND SEEN TIS MULTIPLE TIME OTHER VIHECLE AFTER JUST TURINING ON THE CAR IN PARK. *TR
THERE ARE NUMEROUS FACTORY PAINT DEFECTS INCLUDING ON THE REAR DOOR, TRUCK LID, AND ROOF. THE PAINT QUALITY IS VERY POOR. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAVE CONTACTED HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA, THEY ARE BOTH UNRESPONSIVE TO MY DEMANDS TO MAKE REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 3-YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. *TR
DURING A 400 MILE HIGHWAY ROAD TRIP IN NOVEMBER 2019 MY 2018 ACCORD STEERING STARTED TO STICK. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE TO BREAK A HITCH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. TWICE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED NOTHING WAS DONE. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS I READ THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DURING LONG TRIPS, SO UNLESS THE TECH TAKES THE VEHICLE ON A TRIP THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE DUPLICATED. MAYBE THE VEHICLE OR A COMPONENT ON THE VEHICLE HAS TO REACH A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE FOR THE ISSUE TO SHOW. TURNING OFF FEATURES I PURCHASED ON THE CAR IS NOT A FIX!!! THIS ISSUE TOOK THE JOY OUT OF OWNING THIS CAR. I WANT A REPLACEMENT ON HONDA'A DIME!!!!!
500 MILE TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE, STEERING IS AGAIN (THIRD TIME NOW) FEELING STICKY OR LIKE IT GETS STUCK WHEN MAKING SMALL CORRECTIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED ONCE, SINCE THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT IT IS BACK AGAIN.
THE PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE STARTED THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT IN NOVEMBER 2018. I HAVE FOUR DOCUMENTED CASES WITH THE DEALERSHIP. AS WELL AS 7 VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT TAKEN PLACE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE TACHOMETER AND ENTIRE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING ENTERTAINMENT CENTER, SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHILE USING THE GPS. THE SYSTEM REBOOTS ITSELF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. HONDA CORPORATE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAD NOT PROVIDED A FIX FOR THE ISSUE TO DATE, DESPITE REPRESENTATIONS THAT SUCH FIXES WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY FALL OF LAST YEAR. I ALSO HAVE VOICEMAIL FROM THE SERVICE AND PARTS DIRECTOR OF THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTING FAULT AND NO FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE I CAN SHARE. FOR "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?", I HAVE PUT THE APPROXIMATE LAST TIME THIS ISSUE AROSE. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2018. PLEASE NOTE THAT MY PDF FILES CANNOT GO BELOW 6MB, SO I NEED TO SUBMIT THAT TO YOU SOME OTHER WAY WHEN YOU CONTACT ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
THE TACHOMETER GOES COMPLETELY OUT AND WON'T CYCLE BACK ON WITHOUT LEAVING THE CAR OFF FOR A GREAT DEAL OF TIME. MOST OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU REMOTE START THE CAR USING THE KEY FOB OR THE APP.
WHILE DRIVING ON ANY TYPE OF ROADWAY, WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE GEARS GRIND AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR, THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED.
THE PAINT IS COMING OFF IN SPOTS AND IS SHOWING RUST. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND CLEANED REGULARLY. THE SPOTS ARE ON THE BACK TRUNK, BACK BUMPER, SIDES BY THE BACK DOORS, BY THE WHEEL WELLS IN FRONT AND BACK.
IT DOES IT OWN BRAKING AT NIGHT WHEN ITS GETTING DARK OR WHEN .IM GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT STOPPLNG ME FROM A SPEED OF 45 TO DOWN TO 20-25 IN A SPLINT SECOND ALMOST GETTING ME REAR -ENDED THE DASH BOARD WILL LIGHT UP BRAKE -BRAKE IN RED AN CAR SHAKES ITS HAPPEND 3 TIMES MAYBE MORE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WENT ON CAR COMPLAINT SITE AN THERES TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM IM ONLY LEASING THIS CAR IM FINDING ITS MORE OF A DEATHTRAP
SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL STALL MOMENTARILY, JOLTING ME UNTIL IT RECOVERS AND NORMAL SPEED IS RESUMED. RECOVERY IS A FEW SECONDS BUT THE STALL IS SIGNIFICANT.
ONLY THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAVE COMPLETELY DEPLETED WITHOUT ANY OF THE OTHER ONES BEING CLOSE TO DEPLETING. ROTOR IS NOW GRINDING ON METAL BACKING PLATE OF PAD. CAR HAS BEEN IN NORMAL USE FOR 70,000 MI.
ACCORD ACCELERATES TO SURGE AT RANDOM - IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES. TWO TIMES WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ONE TIME ON THE STREET, AND ONE TIME WAS WHEN WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT! WE HAD TO BRAKE VERY, VERY HARD, AND USE OUR EMERGENCY BRAKE! WE ARE LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE CROSS-WALK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. AS YOU SEE IN THE ATTACHED RECEIPT, THE PROBLEM IS THE TAPE USED WHEN OUR ACCORD WAS BUILT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ONCE PER MONTH AT THEIR LOCATION WHERE CARS ARE BROUGHT IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE WIRES ARE FAULTY BECAUSE RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO CHEW ON THE CARS WIRES SPECIFICALLY. WHEN WE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND HAS MADE RAT TAPE TO ADDRESS IT, BUT THAT HONDA IS WAITING TO HIT A CERTAIN NUMBER NUMBERS OF COMPLAINTS SO THAT IT IS ENOUGH TO MEET ITS THRESHOLD BEFORE ISSUING A FULL RECALL.
2018 HONDA ACCORD. SAT IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT, NORMAL WEATHER, REAR WINDOW FINE AT 7PM AND AT 7AM IT WAS SHATTERED. NO VISIBLE REASON AS TO WHY IT WOULD HAVE SHATTERED. WINDOW HAD TINT ON IT SO WINDOW STAYED INTACT. EDGES ALL AROUND WERE BREAKING AWAY.
THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED EXCESSIVE GAS/OIL SMELL HALFWAY THROUGH THE OIL CHANGE CYCLE EVEN WHEN THE MAINTENANCE MINDER SHOWS 70% OIL LIFE. THE SMELL OCCURS WHEN DRIVING IN THE MIDWEST AND CAUSES THE GARAGE TO SMELL LIKE AN OIL/GAS MIXTURE. OIL DILUTION HAS BEGUN OCCURRING EVEN WHEN PROVIDED ENOUGH TIME TO WARM UP.
CAR ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, NO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEMS SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED DURING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT TIME AND HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES. THE RADAR PANEL WAS NOT OBSTRUCTED. THE CMBS CAN ONLY BE RESET BY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE CONTACTED AT LEAST TWO DEALER SERVICE CENTERS WITH THIS PROBLEM, NO RESOLUTION. THEY SAY THEY NEED TO SEE THE ERROR CODE - PROBLEM IS, THE WARNING RESETS WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER CUSTOMERS ON THE CAR COMPLAINTS WEBSITE. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 06 FEB 2020. THE CMBS HAS SHUT DOWN AT DIFFERENT MILEAGES, BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE CARS WARRANTY.
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON 14 SOUTH MY SPEED WAS 55 TO 60 I HEAR LOTS SOUND AND CAR WAS NOT IN MY CONTROL I FEEL MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL CAME OUT AND I ALMOST DIE RIM WAS BROKE DURING DRIVE
THE CAR HAS AN ISSUE THAT WHEN YOU DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES IT DEVELOPS A 'STICK-SLIP' FEELING ON THE STEERING, E.G. IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFORT TO OVERCOME THE FORCE IT TAKES TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED IN THE LANE. OTHERS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME BEHAVIOR. I DO HAVE A SECOND, IDENTICAL VEHICLE WHICH SHOWS THE SAME BEHAVIOR.
THIS CAR ALMOST KILLED ME ON HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES/H IT DECIDED TO TAP BREAKS BY ITSELF(SLOW DOWN) THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND IT WAS NOT ANY CAR IN FRONT OF ME.I TOOK IT TO A DEALER THEY RESTARTED THE SYSTEM SAID EVERYTHING IT'S FINE NOW BUT DID NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THE SAME DAY I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH IT.I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN IT.
I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESS WAY ON 7/5/19 EARLY MORNING. THE CAR SHAKE AND SLOW DOWN ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WOULD BE KILLED IF THERE'S A CAR BEHINE ME. I PULLED TO THE CURB, AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR AND GO, BUT IT KEEPS SHAKUNG IN THE BEGINNING. SO I CALLED HONDA FOR TOW TRUCK, THAT A LEASED CAR. BUT LATER I TRIED AGAIN, IT SEEMS THE CAR COULD GO, SO I DROVE HOME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR FEW DAYS, AND THE TRANSMISSION COULDN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY SINCE THEN. LOOKS LIKE A LEMON. ONLY 9000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE MORE PICTURES ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE SYSTEM WON'T ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD MORE THAN 5
I WENT ON A 200 MILE TRIP YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SPEED 60-80 MPH I FELT LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS KINDA STICKY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO DO MINOR CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT WAS LIKE FREE PLAY AND CAR WAS SWERVING LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME IT FELT LIKE I PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER. IT ONLY HAPPENED FOR FIRST TIME. USUALLY I DRIVE THIS CAR IN CITY WILL TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK. ALL IN ALL IT'S VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY ISSUE. I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CRASHES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ENTERING VEHICLE THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD FRACTURED AT THE TRIM LINE INTO THE WINDOW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO AN IMPACT. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
ON HIGHWAY, STEERING WHEEL LIGHTLY "LOCKS INTO A NOTCH". GENTLY APPLYING PRESSURE GRADUALLY WILL BREAK IT LOOSE, BUT CAUSES THE CAR TO LIGHTLY SWERVE WHEN IT DOES (NOTICEABLE TO PASSENGERS). THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW A LEFT OR RIGHT CURVE OR WHEN KEEPING THE CAR IN THE LANE ON A STRAIGHTAWAY. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH LESS APPARENT WHEN LKAS IS ENGAGED. PROBLEM APPEARED ON 2018 ACCORD AT APPROX 10,000 MILES. PROBLEM APPEARED SUDDENLY AND WAS NOT PRECEEDED BY ANYTHING OUT THE ORDINARY. PROBLEM SO FAR OCCURED 2 DAYS CONSECUTIVELY. PROBLEM SHOWS UP AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH AND AFTER CAR HAS BEEN AT THAT SPEED FOR OVER APPROX 3 MINUTES. AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST.
SAME AS OTHER PEOPLE - I JUTS COPIED ANOTHER PERSONS COMPLAINT AS ITS IDENTICAL AND SAME MILEAGE ETC' - THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM' CAR HAS ALMOST 15,000 MILES. IT HAS DEVELOPED A STRANGE STICKING ISSUE IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS LIGHTLY HOLDING ONTO THE WHEEL AS I?M SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THEN SUDDENLY LET?S GO. THIS CAUSES ME TO OVERCORRECT TO STAY IN THE LANE AND IT BECOMES A FIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR IN BETWEEN LANES. IT IS MOST APPARENT WHEN EXITING FREEWAY RAMPS AND CHANGING LANES, ALTHOUGH IT?S ALSO APPARENT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SMALL CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN BETWEEN LANES. THE OTHER SYMPTOM IS THAT THE CAR HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT REQUIRES CONSTANT LIGHT CORRECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE CAR SWAYS BETWEEN THE LINES ON THE FREEWAY LANE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY TIRESOME ON A LONG DRIVE AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST 2,000-3,000 MILES. DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IT?S THE LANE KEEP ASSIST DOING IT?S JOB. IT?S NOT DOING IT?S JOB IF I CAN?T CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND MAKES HIGHWAY TRACKING UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE TURNED EVERY ASSIST OFF AND IT STILL DOES IT.
ON JANUARY 4TH WHILE TRAVELING HOME MY ACCORD WAS SET IN CRUISE CONTROL AND OUT OF THE BLUE HIT THE BRAKES ON IT'S OWN WITH NO ONE AROUND ME. I BRUSHED IT OFF BUT ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO DOWN THE ROAD IT DID IT AGAIN EXCEPT THUS TE WAS NEXT TO A DIESEL AND NOT ONLY DID BRAKE ON ITS ON IT ALSO RESPONDED AS IF I WAS OUT MY LANE AND BEGAN TO TO TURN MY CAR INTO THE DIESEL I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING AND THE THE CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT AND I BEGAN TO GET A MESSAGE THE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING MECHANISM. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE REMAINDER OF OF MY TRIP BUT I WAS AN HOUR AND HALF AWAY FROM HOME SO TRAVELED ON HOME CHECK MY BRAKES CONSTANTLY. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS MY WIFE AND I RATTLED. I TOOK MY CAR IN ON THE 6TH TO TOPEKA HONDA AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT THE CAR TRIED TO KILL ME AND MY WIFE BY TRYING TO RUN US INTO A DIESEL TRUCK AND HOW IT WAS BRAKING ON ITS OWN AND THE TOOK AND LOOKED AT IT . THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK A STATED"THERE WAS SOME GUNK ON YOUR CENSOR AND THAT CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN AND THEY CLEANED IT OFF IT WAS FINE" BUT IF THE CENSOR IS ON THE FRONT OFF THE CSR AND GUNK MAKES IT NOT WORK SURELY THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE NOR WILL I ALLOW MY WIFE TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE.
CAR HAS ALMOST 15,000 MILES. IT HAS DEVELOPED A STRANGE STICKING ISSUE IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS LIGHTLY HOLDING ONTO THE WHEEL AS I'M SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THEN SUDDENLY LET'S GO.

IT'S NOT DOING IT'S JOB IF I CAN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND MAKES HIGHWAY TRACKING UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE TURNED EVERY ASSIST OFF AND IT STILL DOES IT. AS A COMPARISON, MY WIFE HAS A 2017 EX ACCORD WITH 28,000 MILES AND IT DOESN'T EXHIBIT ANY OF THE SYMPTOMS THAT MY 2018 DOES. BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SUPPORT AND KNOWLEDGE BY THE DEALER, WE FEEL OUR ONLY CHOICE IS TO TRADE THIS CAR IN AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL.
VEHICLE WAS PARKED/STATIONARY ON SEMI-FLAT A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. WHEN I LOOKED BACK THE VEHICLES MOVED. SEEMS THE PARKING GEAR DID NOT FULLY ENGAGED. REGARDLESS VEHICLE WAS NOT IN NEUTRAL OR DRIVE AND IT STILL MOVED FORWARD WITH NO ONE ON IT, NO KEYS INSIDE AND ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT. SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION/CVT SYSTEM MAY BE AT FAULT, BUT UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.
DRIVING AT THE HIGHWAY, CAR SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN FROM 70MPH TO 40-50MPH,THERE WERE ANY CAR IN FRONT OF ME! I HAVE NOTHING ON MY WINDSHIELD! THERE WEREN'T ANY STOP OR TRAFFIC SIGN! SO HONDA STOP SAYING I AM DRIVING RECKLESSLY! FOR FEW SECOND I REGAINED CONTROL OF GAS, I HAVE TO SPEED UP MY CAR SO I DON'T GET REAR END, THEN EVERYTHING HAPPEN AGAIN, CAR DECIDED TO TAP BRAKE BY ITSELF. THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIME DURING THE HIGHWAY DRIVING. SCREEN POP UP SAID COLLISION MITIGATION BREAK SYSTEM ERROR. PLEASE CONTACT HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER CONTACT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINED THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ERROR DID NOT SHOW UP DURING THEIR IN HOUSE TESTING. AND YES, ERROR CODE DISAPPEARED AFTER CAR RESTARTED. BUT PROBLEM CONSISTS AFTER LONG DISTANCE DRIVE. I DON'T KNOW I SHOULD DRIVE THIS CAR OR I HAVE PRAY YOU GOD THAT ONE DAY I DON'T GET REAR END BECAUSE HONDA ACCORD DECIDES TO BRAKE ITSELF!
HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND TWO DEALERS WILL NOT FIX UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTEE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE AND THERE ARE NO STORED ERROR CODES. THIS CAR HAS A LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION (LDM) SYSTEM THAT HAS FALSELY ACTIVATED MANY TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS CENTERED ON THE DRIVING LANE. THE LDM ACTIVATES BY PROVIDING A WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AND BY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL QUICKLY TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT WHICH DISTRACTS THE DRIVER (A SAFETY ISSUE) AND ONCE CAUSED ME TO ALMOST STEER THE CAR INTO A SEMI ON MY RIGHT BY COMPENSATING FOR THE LEFT STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A LANE KEEP ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) WHICH REPEATEDLY HAS STEERED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. BOTH THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AND PROVIDED TO AHM AND BOTH DEALERS. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN RANDOMLY ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS CAR HAS ISSUES WITH RANDOMLY DISPLAYING AN INCORRECT SPEED LIMIT ON THE DASHBOARD (100 MPH IN A 60 MPH ZONE), FALSELY WARNING "STEERING IS REQUIRED" ON THE DASHBOARD, A "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING WHILE REPOSITIONING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE IS ON, AND THE BRAKE ASSIST/ANTI-COLLISION FALSELY ACTIVATING WHEN NOTHING IS DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF THE CAR. ALL OF THESE HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.
UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS WHEN THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN WHILE USING ACC (CRUISE CONTROL) THE SYSTEM WILL FAIL CAUSING THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE.EVER TIME THIS HAPPENS 3 TIMES SO FAR I WAS DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. MOST TIME THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH. TRAFFIC WENT FROM POSTED LIMIT TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP.THE CAR WOULD START TO SLOW DOWN THEN THE SYSTEM WOULD FAIL, ALLOWING THE CAR TO CONTINUE FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. THE MESSAGE "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM SEE YOUR DEALER" IS DISPLAYED. HONDA HAS A TSB 19-051 THAT TALKS ABOUT THE ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT ISSUE THEY REFUSED TO DO THE TSB.
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OVERLY-BRIGHT. IN THE LOW-BEAM POSITION THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A PAINFUL EVEN TO GLANCE AT. WHEN THE CAR GOES OVER A BUMP THE HEADLIGHTS MAKE AN EVEN MORE BRIGHT FLASH. WITH SO MANY CARS LIKE THIS ON THE ROADS THE DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE BECOMING DANGEROUS AS THE BLINDING HEADLIGHTS CREATE BOTH DISCOMFORT AND DISABILITY GLARE AS WELL AS A SUBSTANTIAL DISTRACTION. THOSE BLINDING LED HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THE EXTERNAL PAINT OF OUR VEHICLE IS THIN AND FRAGILE, IT CHIPS AND SCRATCHES QUITE EASILY EVEN IF CONTACTED BY PLASTIC SUCH AS A CHILD SEAT OR CAMERA LENSE COVER, NEVER MIND WHAT AN INCONSIDERATE PARKING NEIGHBOR, SHOPPING CART OR ROAD DEBRIS DO TO IT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP; WHO OFFERED TO FIX THE PAINT, THEN REVOKED HIS OFFER. AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. WHO OPENED A CASE AND THEN CLOSED IT, IGNORING MY RESPONSES TO THEIR COMMUNICATIONS. ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF MY COMMUNICATIONS.
2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T TOURING WITH 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, MILEAGE < 1000. TRANSMISSION HAS ROUGH SHIFTING FROM 2ND INTO 3RD GEAR AT LOW RPMS/SPEED (2,000 RPM / < 14MPH) FEELING LIKE A MANUAL SHIFT CAR POPPING THE CLUTCH. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN CAR IS COLD OR WARMED UP, CAR IS IN THE NORTHEAST WITH COLD OR HOT WEATHER. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS DON'T DROP WHEN IT HAPPENS WHICH CREATES THE SLAM INTO GEAR FEELING JUDDER. UNDER SLIGHTLY HARDER BUT NORMAL ACCEIERATION THE CAR SHIFTS (LIKE A MANUAL CAR ) AS IF DOUBLE CLUTCHING FROM 2-3RD FEELING LIKE ITS SKIPPING A GEAR BUT ITS VERY QUICK AS YOU HEAR THE ENGINE REVS BLIP BETWEEN SHIFTS. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO OBSERVED THE SAME ROUGH SHIFTING AND TOLD BY DEALER IT DOES SHIFT LIKE THIS COMPARED TO OTHER ACCORD VEHICLES. DEALER INDICATED THEY WOULD ONLY OBSERVE THE CONDITION SINCE HONDA HAS NO OFFICIAL TSA OUT YET. I SHOWED HIM THE ACURA VIDEO FOR THE SAME ENGINE/TRANS A CLUTCH FIX BREAK-IN THAT'S WAS USED TO HELP SOLVE SOME REPORTED ROUGH SHIFTING AND HONDA DEALER WOULD NOT USE IT GIVEN ACURA USE CASE. I AM ON 7,000 MILES BUT UNDER 1YR OWNERSHIP AND THE SAME ROUGH SHIFT CONDITION EXIST BUT LESS SEVERE. SOME INTERNET REPORTS STATE ROUGH SHIFTING GOES AWAY ABOVE 7K MILES AS THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS-IN AND THE SOFTWARE LEARNS THE DRIVING BEHAVIOR BUT IT REALLY HAS NOT IN MY EXPERIENCE. HARD ACCELERATION GOING ABOVE 4500 RPM THE CAR SHIFTS QUITE NORMALLY AND SMOOTHLY AND DOES NOT EXHIBIT THE LOW SPEED ROUGH SHIFTING IN ANY OF THE NORMAL OR SPORT MODES OF THE CAR THUS SURMISING THERE'S SOME FORM OF OPERATIONAL FAILURE OCCURRING BY UNINTENTIONAL DESIGN IN SOFTWARE OR MECHANICAL.
THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM HAS THROWN AN ERROR AND STOPPED WORKING 5 TIMES NOW. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON LONG ROAD TRIPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 50+ MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED LESS THAN 30 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES AFTER 2+ HOURS OF DRIVING. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE RANGED FROM CLOUDY TO FINE (NO SNOW OR RAIN). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC.
I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND ONCE I HIT ABOUT 10-15 MPH, THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM CAME ON AND SLAMMED THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE A DASH CAMERA VIDEO WHICH SHOWS THE INCIDENT. THIS WAS ON A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY ON A NON-BUSY CITY STREET (OVERPASS).
THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS INDICATED WITH THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONLY 2 MILES AWAY AND WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED I WAS TOLD BOTH PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES WERE DOWN TO METAL WITH NO PADS LEFT. THE DEALER SAID SOMETHING HAD FAILED CAUSING THE CONDITION WHICH WAS REQUIRING MORE PARTS TO BE REPLACED. IF WE WERE FARTHER FROM THE DEALER ( BARBER HONDA BAKERSFIELD) THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HIGHER MPH (50+) ROADS, GENERALLY BUT NOT ALWAYS WITH THE CRUSE CONTROL ON, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY APPLY THEMSELVES VERY HARD CAUSING THE CAR TO BECOME A SITTING TARGET FOR CARS COMING FROM BEHIND. THIS HAS HAPPENED A MULTITUDE OF TIMES AND WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT THEY KEPT THE CAR BUT RETURNED IT SAYING THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO REPAIR.
ISSUE WITH STEERING STICKING OR FEELING "NOTCHY" WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MINOR STEERING INPUT TO KEEP VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT REQUIRES A LOT OF ISSUE, THEN THE STEERING LETS LOOSE JERKING THE CAR ON THE ROAD. STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER 2018, BUT THE ISSUE HAS RESURFACED WITH THE REPLACEMENT STEERING RACK.
THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF FUNCTION IN: 1. ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION 2. COLLISION MITIGATION 3. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL 4. BRAKING SYSTEM THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SPEED OF 10-40MPH, WITH AIR TEMPERATURE OF 28-32 DEGREES AND SNOWY CONDITIONS. HONDA HAS REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE NUMEROUS, POTENTIALLY SW/HW - RELATED ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN MANIFESTING THEMSELVES IN OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS A NEW SET OF SYMPTOMS, BUT WITH MUCH HIGHER SEVERITY AND NO OBVIOUS PRECEDENT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO DISABLE THE LANE DEPARTURE AND THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THEIR ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE THE MESSAGES THAT HAVE COME UP (WILL ATTACHE PHOTOS) DEMANDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE ERRORS AND MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY UPON MULTIPLE RESTARTS OF THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL TO THE DEALER, IT WAS INDICATED TO ME THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH THE VEHICLE AND STILL (MONTHS HENCE) DOES NOT HAVE A FIX, AND THAT HONDA HAS, ESSENTIALLY, BEEN RESORTING TO TESTING THEIR VEHICLE ON THE CUSTOMERS, INSTEAD OF MORE RIGOROUS PRE-RELEASE TESTING, INSTEAD CHOOSING TO USE THE DEALERS AS A QUASI-TEST/R&D DEPARTMENT. THE MULTIPLE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE I EXPERIENCED TODAY IS A PRETTY CLEAR INDICATION OF THAT. I HAVE FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH NTHSA RELATED TO THE OTHER ISSUES AND WOULD URGE YOU TO INITIATE A RECALL ON ALL OF THE HONDA ACCORDS (AND POSSIBLY ODYSSEYS AND PILOTS AS THEY SHARE SOME OF THE SUB-SYSTEMS) FOR THE 2018, 2019 AND THE COMING 2020 MODELS.

MY 2018 HONDA IS NOT DRIVEN OFTEN. IT SITS IN MY YARD MOST OF THE TIME. I HAD IT DETAILED A WEEK AGO ONLY TO FIND THE PAINT WAS PEELING ON TRUNK, HOOD AND ROOF. HORRIFIED AT THIS NEWS I WENT TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO SEE IF THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS. ON GOOGLE I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT EXPLAINED THAT THE PAINT INDEED WAS PEELING. I FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE ARTICLE. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY OF COURSE EXCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY NOR WOULD THEY READ THE ARTICLE. MADE THEM GIVE ME WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY WERE EXCEPTING NO RESPONSIBILITY. TRIED FOR DAYS TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SUCCESS. NOW CONTACTING YOU.
VEHICLE WAS UNLOCKED WHEN ALL KEYS WERE IN HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT HOME AND WHILE TRAVELING .CAR WAS STATIONARY. NAVIGATION SYSTEM DIRECTIONS WERE GARBLED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPREHEND WHAT WAS SAID. CAR WAS IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE AND THE CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARMAX (2750 STONERIDGE DR, PLEASANTON, CA 94588, (925) 600-0741) WHERE THE FUSE WAS REPLACED TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AWAITING REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.
REAR BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING QUICKER THAN THE FRONT, I BARLEY HAVE ANY LIFE IN THE REAR PADS. (WEARING OUT TWICE AS FAST AS THEY NORMALLY SHOULD) JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2008-2010 ACCORDS. HONDA LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AND COMPLETELY IGNORED IT, THEY TOLD ME ITS DANGEROUS IF I DONT CHANGE THEM AND THEY DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM WEARING OUT QUICK.
WHILE DRIVING ON I-95S PASSING THROUGH GEORGIA STATE AND IN SPORT MODE VEHICLE LOST SPEED UNEXPECTEDLY ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED HAVING TO STOP QUICKLY TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN TRIED TO REINTEGRATE TO HIGHWAY, VEHICLE SPEED REACHED TO NO MORE THAN 40 MILES. VEHICLE ENDED IT UP BEING TOWED TO JACKSONVILLE FL.
INFOTAINMENT SCREEN REBOOTS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO DASH LIGHTS GO DIM/OUT ALSO.
THE BRAKE SYSTEM ALERT IS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO BREAK ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A FLAWED COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM SENSOR AS THIS KEEPS FLASHING ACROSS THE DASH IN BIG BOLD LETTERS AND WONT GO OFF. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE MESSAGE IS STILL THERE AND WONT GO AWAY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD THREE BEEPING NOISES AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE ON ITS OWN. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HER DESTINATION SAFELY. ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2019, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WITTMEIER HONDA (LOCATED AT 2288 FOREST AVE, CHICO, CA 95928, (530) 895-8181), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,163.
WHILE PARKED SAFELY IN MY GARAGE MY WINDSHIELD SUFFERED A STRESS FRACTURE. IT STARTS AT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRAME AND STRETCHES 13 INCHES OUT ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I CALLED. I LATER FOUND OUT AFTER WAITING TWO HOURS THERE THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH ACCORD WINDSHIELDS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HERE AND ON OTHER SITES OF STRESS FRACTURES WITHOUT ANY KIND OF ROCK DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED AND COVERED.
THE PROBLEM WE HAD WITH THIS 2018 HONDA ACCORD, WAS IT WOULDN'T START. WITHOUT WARNING OF LOW BATTERY OR FAULTY CHARGING OR ANY OTHER INDICATION DISPLAYED IN THE WARNING OR ADVISORY SYSTEMS OF THE CAR PREVIOUSLY - IT JUST WOULDN'T START. FIRST ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THESE SYSTEM FAILURES ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION INTERFACE : VEHICLE STABILITY SYS. PROB., BRAKE SYS. PROB., ANTI- LOCK BRAKE PROB., BRAKE HOLD SYS. PROB. IN ADDITION, THE PARKING LIGHTS CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND COULD NOT BE SELECTED "OFF" . BEING A SUNDAY MORNING , WE WAITED UNTIL MONDAY MORNING TO CALL THE TOWING SERVICE TO BRING CAR TO NEAREST DEALER. TOW DRIVER CONNECTED A PORTABLE CHARGER TO THE BATTERY- AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR, BUT AFTER DISCONNECTING THE CHARGER, THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START. THE DEALERS REPORT TO US, WAS THAT OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE RADIO WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING IS THE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF THE DEAD BATTERY- SO, OPERATOR/OWNER ERROR. (( IT'S OUR FAULT THE ,... ( THAT THE BATTERY IS WEAK, LOW BUDGET AND SAVES THE COMPANY ( HONDA MOTORS) MONEY BY USING CHEAPER PRODUCTS.)). NOW, IF THIS WERE YOU, OR YOUR WIFE, OR YOUR DAUGHTER, OR GRAND MOTHER; OR ALL OF THEM IN THE CAR TOGETHER GOING TO AN EVENT LIKE A WEDDING - AND THEY WERE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, WITHOUT WARNING .... STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, AT NIGHT, IN STORMY WEATHER, OR WORSE... EVACUATING THE AREA FROM A TSUNAMI. WOULD YOU BE CONCERNED ? OR , WOULD YOU BE FLIPPANT ABOUT IT ,.... AS A "CORPORATION " OFTEN IS. " .. LET'S WAIT AND SEE IF THE GOVERNMENT WILL CATCH UP WITH US FIRST, AND MAKE US DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ... " .
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON BRAKES SUDDENLY APPLIED THEMSELF NEARLY CAUSING A VEHICLE TO STRIKE ME IN THE REAR .SEVERAL ALARMS WERE DISPLAYED ON DASH FIRST WAS ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SECOND COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM THIRD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM ALL ALARMS SAID TO SEE YOUR DEALER . I TOOK PICTURES WITH MY CELL PHONE OF ALL ALARMS DISPLAYED BUT I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY UPLOADING TO REPORT . I CAN SEND A ATTACHMENT SPECIFIC TO THE CLAIM IF NEEDED OR IF A EMAIL COULD BE GIVEN I WOULD FORWARD SUCH.
MY CAR (3 TIMES NOW) WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WILL SUDDENLY BRAKE HARD WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF IT ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION WITH MY CAR. AN ORANGE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING (BRAKE) IN LARGE LETTERS. I AM GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW.
AFTER BEING PARKED IN A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY FOR SEVERAL HOURS I PROCEEDED TO OPEN MY CAR AND DRIVE HOME. FIRST REMOTE CONTROL WOULD NOT OPEN DOORS, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR ONLY, UPON TURNING IGNITION ON A SERIES OF WARNING INDICATING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY DISABLES ITSELF, ALL COLLISION MITIGATION FUNCTIONS STOP WORKING, SERIES OF WARNING SEE PICS APPEAR ON DISPLAY TO SEE DEALER, ALL WINDOWS AND TRUCK WILL NOT FUNCTION, TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS, REAR VIEW CAMERA DO NOT FUNCTION, BRAKE SYSTEM MSG APPEARS ON DISPLAY. TURNED OFF AND ON CAR WITH NO SUCCESS IN RESTORING ALL FUNCTIONS AS ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS. DROVE CAR FOR 4 MILES IN THIS STATE FELT IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS MORNING ALL HAS RESTORED TO NORMAL. CALLED HONDA DEALER IN EL MONTE CA. WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, WAS NOT ABLE TO BOOK SERVICE CALL UNTIL MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK IN RESEARCHING ONLINE FOUND HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 19-051 DESCRIBING A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CAR MODULES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT IS REALLY SHOULD MERIT A RECALL AS IT INTERFERES WITH THE SAFE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. A RECALL WILL FORCE HONDA TO INFORM ITS SERVICE DEALERS AND INSTRUCT THEM ON A PROMPT SCHEDULING OF REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO RESOLVE THIS SOFTWARE DEFECT AFFECTING DRIVABILITY OF THEIR FLAGSHIP CAR.
WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS THE BRAKES KEEP SETTING THEMSELVES. WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED DURING ONE INSTANCE. THE HONDA DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AND OIL CHANGE AT 20,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR PADS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT PADS ARE FINE. THIS ISSUE WAS RECALLED IN 2010 AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AGAIN.
VEHICLE HAD ISSUES CRANKING AND THE DISPLAY HAD EVERY ERROR CODE FLASHING ONE AFTER THE OTHER. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. IT WAS REPLACED IN JULY. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN IN OCTOBER IF THE SAME YEAR AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN.
WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE CAR WANDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. MINOR CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. A MINOR MOVE TO THE LEFT, THEN FOLLOWED BY A MINOR MOVE TO THE RIGHT AND SO ON. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGH SPEEDS (OVER 60MPH THE DRIVE CAN BE QUITE SCARY). I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A HONDA FIELD REP COME TAKE A LOOK, BUT 1 WEEK LATER I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR ACTIVE RECALL DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING RACK 53600-TVA-A18 WHICH MY ACCORD HAS AND IS NO LONGER AN ACTIVE HONDA PART, NOW REPLACED WITH A NEW PART NUMBER. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON THE DRIVEACCORD FORUM (HTTPS://WWW.DRIVEACCORD.NET/THREADS/10TH-GEN-HIGHWAY-FREEWAY-SWAY-STEER-PROBLEM-CAR-SWAYS-JUST-A-LITTLE-BIT.540665/) WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVING THEIR STEERING RACKS REPLACED.
AS I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CENTER SCREEN WILL TURN OFF AND RESET ITSELF. THIS CAUSES MY HANDS-FREE TO STOP WORKING IF I AM ON THE PHONE. ADDITIONALLY, I AM FORCED TO TOUCH THE SCREEN WHILE I AM DRIVING IN ORDER TO CONNECT CAR PLAY/ BLUETOOTH WHICH IS HAZARDOUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MORE THAN 10 OCCASIONS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND THE BRAKES SEIZED. THE CONTACT DISABLED THE BRAKING FEATURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DCH ACADEMY HONDA (1101 U.S. 9, OLD BRIDGE, NJ 08857, (732) 847-4391) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE CALIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING A WARNING INDICATOR WHO SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANFORD HONDA (3130 S. HORNER BOULEVARD, SANFORD, NC 27332) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,400.
BRAKE PULSATES ARE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT SPEED 40 MOH OR HIGHER. SINCE I NOTICED AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER 12.5K MILES THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATE THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN EVERY 12K MILES.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR IS VISIBLE ON THE DASH AFTER VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND JERKS, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL BECOMES DISABLED UNTIL THE CAR RESTARTS. THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ABOVE 50MPH.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE "SERVICE NEEDED" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COVINGTON HONDA (1915 HOT SPRINGS RD, COVINGTON, VA 24426, (800) 234-7853) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS DESTROYED BY RODENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW WIRING HARNESS AND RODENT PROOF TAPE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.
COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK; INITIAL ISSUE WAS WARNING SYSTEMS WENT ON WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF CAR. SECOND TIME BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO VEHICLE WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF CAR, LEADING TO CAR INDUCED PANIC STOP ON ROAD, THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS TRAILING MY CAR AT THAT TIME. HONDA TEST DROVE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING; SINCE THIS IS SPORADIC, THIS WAS NOT SURPRISING. TOLD THEM IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND THAT THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT ON WEBSITES; THEY TOLD US WE CAN TURN OFF FRONT MITIGATION COLLISION SYSTEM EACH TIME WE DRIVE. REQUESTED DEALERSHIP GENERAL MANAGER TO REPORT THIS CONDITION TO REGIONAL DIRECTOR AT HONDA
MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT CRASH MITIGATION SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO VEHICLES AROUND THE BRAKES APPLY HARD AT TIMES TAKING THE CAR FROM 65 MILES AN HOUR DOWN TO 40 MPH IN JUST A FEW SECONDS ON ONE OCCASION I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER HONDA SAYS THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE IGNITION WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE PERFECT AND THE TPMS WAS RESET, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.*JB
MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY FOR NO REASON. THE WORD BRAKE APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE AND THE CAR ENGAGES THE BRAKES SUDDENLY AND FORCEFULLY. I'VE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. DURING TWO EPISODES, I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN MY CAR BRAKED SPONTANEOUSLY- IT CAUSED MY HEAD/NECK TO JERK FORWARD. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME DID NOT TEAR END ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE BRAKE MITIGATION SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN DRIVING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION ZONES AND TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES. HE SAID 'THAT'S HOW THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO WORK'. I WAS NOT IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT APPEARS HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT TAKING STEPS TO CORRECT IT.
MY VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA SOFTWARE HAS FAILED AGAIN DESPITE BEING "FIXED" ONCE ALREADY. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2018 TO FIX DEFECTIVE SOFTWARE THAT CAUSED THE BACKUP CAMERA TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CAMERA'S COLLISION SENSOR QUIT WORKING AND FAILED TO WARN ME OF OBJECTS IN MY PATH WHEN I WAS BACKING UP. HONDA LOADED NEW SOFTWARE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER REPAIR, BUT I GOT THE SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE... "GEE, IT'S WORKING FINE FOR US, AND WE CAN'T FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKE!" WELL IT IS BROKEN, AND HONDA WON'T FIX IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND I HOPE THE NHTSA CAN HELP ME GET IT RESOLVED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH AND DECELERATING TO 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IT TOOK THREE TO FIVE SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO POHANKA HONDA OF FREDRICKSBURG (60 S. GATEWAY DR, FREDRICKSBURG, VA) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,089. *AS *TR *TT CONSUMER STATED THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE MY CAR FOR A WEEK. HE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM. TOLD ME THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS. HE WILL NOT RETURN MY CALL. HE WILL NOT TELL ME IF HE DUPLICATED THE SAME ON ANOTHER CAR. *JB
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND ACTIVATED WHEN THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BRAKED ABRUPTLY AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO POHANKA HONDA (LOCATED AT 1772 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD 20743, (301) 899-7800) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AN ISSUE WITH THE COLLISION SYSTEM OR THE SENSOR LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.
HONDA'S COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN, DISALLOWING CRUISE CONTROL AND ALL SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM. DEALER CANNOT FIND CAUSE. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT RESETS IT, BUT WHEN IT TURNS OFF, THERE IS NO CLEAR FACTOR AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED. THERE IS A SAFETY RISK IF YOU ARE USING CRUISE CONTROL, AS IT COULD FAIL TO BRAKE WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU SLOWS DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED, THE WIPER SPEED WAS VERY LOW AT ALL SETTINGS. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. *BF *TR
ON AUGUST THE 7 I WASHED MY HONDA ACCORD. I NOTICED THAT THE CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM. I TOOK IT ON AUGUST THE 8. THEY TOOK PICS OF THE CAR AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT THERE SALES REP ABOUT THIS. I CONTACTED THEM OM MONDAY AUGUST THE 12 ABOUT THE MATTER. THEY CONTACTED ME BACK THAT EVENING AND TOLD ME IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. LIKE RAIN STUFF FROM THE ROADS AND TREE SAP THAT I NEED TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY ABOUT THIS.I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 7 MONTHS. THE CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 7600 HUNDRED MILES ON IT.
RATTLE/SQUEAK FROM HUD AREA OF DRIVER'S SIDE DASH AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING OUTDOORS IN THE HEAT. VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN FLORIDA AND WHENEVER IT IS PARKED OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY IF LEFT IN THE SUN, THERE IS A LOUD RATTLE/SQUEAK FROM THE HUD AREA OF THE DASH FOR SOME TIME AFTER. PASSENGERS IN THE CAR CONSTANTLY ASK WHAT THE NOISE IS. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. SEE NHTSA ID NUMBER 10136423 DATED APRIL 2018. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS ISSUE ALSO EXISTS IN 2019 MODELS AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE AND IMPLEMENT A FIX FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS IS OUR SIXTH HONDA AND WE ARE FRUSTRATED THAT SOMETHING AS ANNOYING AS THIS WAS NOT DISCOVERED AND RESOLVED DURING THE VEHICLE'S DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING. THIS ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED DURING OUR FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED IT WITH THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY TELL US THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ARE AWAITING A FIX FROM HONDA. UNTIL THEN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.
FOR A WHILE NOW, IM NOTICING THAT THE AUTO HIGH BEAMS ON MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD EX-L 2.0T CAR ISNT WORKING. I'VE TRIED RESETING THE DISPLAY AUDIO UNIT, I'VE TRIED DISABLING/RE-ENABLING AUTO HIGH BEAM FEATURE BY PULLING THE HIGH BEAM STICK ON THE STEERING COLUMN - NONE OF THIS HAS FIXED THE ISSUE. BASIC OBD2 (VIA BLUETOOTH AND ANDROID APP) DO NO INDICATE ANY FAULT CODES. WILL BE TAKING THIS INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) FAILS DURING USE, THE VEHICLE CAN AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATE TO A SET SPEED AND SLOW DOWN WHEN IT SENSES A VEHICLE WITHIN A CLOSE PROXIMITY. WHEN THE ACC IS ACTIVE AND AFTER A FEW TIMES OF NEEDING TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW DOWN WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS, " COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER". I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THERE WAS NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM, MY VEHICLE IS STILL CURRENTLY UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE WAS NO FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DATE LISTED BELOW WAS THE MOST RECENT DATE THAT THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO SOUTH MOTORS HONDA DEALER BACK IN 2018 SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE.
PAINT CHIPS AND SCRATCHES EASILY. CLEARCOAT AND PAINT STARTED PEELING. THE SLIGHTEST THING WILL SCRATCH OR CHIP THE PAINT. SCRATCHES ON THE HOOD AND ROOF ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY ( REALLY NOTICEABLY DUE TO THE CAR BEING BLACK). ANY LITTLE THING THAT TOUCHES THE PAINT SEEMS TO DAMAGE IT. THE PAINT PEELED OFF IN MULTIPLE SPOTS ON THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK. NOW I CAN SEE THE ACTUAL CARE METAL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR (ACCORD 2018 2.0 T) IN NOVEMBER 2018, AND I STARTED NOTICING ALL THESE ISSUES COUPLE MONTHS AGO, BUT THINGS GOT WORSE VERY QUICKLY. CONTACTED DEALER AND THE CONTACTED HONDA, BUT I RECEIVED THE EXPECTED ANSWER THAT THEY CAN'T DO MUCH AS THIS FORM EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. I USED TO HAVE A C 300 BLACK CAR THAT I USED TO PARK IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY DAY LIKE MY HONDA AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES. *TT *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WHEN AN EXPLOSION WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE POLICE WAS NOT PRESENT AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH FOUR HANKOOK KINERGY PT TIRES, SIZE: 225/50R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SPEED DECREASED TO 35 MPH AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE "TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CANNON HONDA VICKSBURG (2057 N FRONTAGE RD, VICKSBURG, MS 39180, (877) 421-8694) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LUMBAR AND RADAR NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE DOT NUMBER AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.
WINDSHIELD CHIPS STARTED FROM ALMOST DAY ONE OF PURCHASE. THE SMALLEST OF ROAD DEBRIS HAVE CAUSED MULTIPLES OF GLASS CHIPS TO ACCUMULATE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OVER TIME. THE FIRST SURFACE OF THE GLASS IS VERY "BRITTLE" AND EASY TO CHIP WITH THE LIGHTEST OF CONTACT. CHIPS FORM EASILY AT LOW SPEEDS. AS COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN, AN UNUSUALLY LOUD "SNAPPING/CRACKING" SOUND OCCURS UPON ANY WINDSHIELD CONTACT INCLUDING BUGS AND RAIN. CHIPS OCCUR IN IRREGULAR "CLUSTERS" UPON IMPACT. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ON OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE TRIED TO IGNORE THE PERIPHERAL CHIPS BUT NOW THEY ARE STARTING TO FORM IN MY FIELD OF VIEW. VERY DISSATISFYING AND DISAPPOINTING.
MULTIPLE ERRORS INVOLVING VEHICLE'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS). CMBS SYSTEM FAILS REGULARLY (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 120 MILES OF DRIVING) DURING ROUTINE USE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SYSTEM FAILURE SHUTS DOWN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC), COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) AND DISPLAYS ERROR TO "SEE YOUR DEALER".
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKES SEIZED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. DURING THE MOST RECENT BRAKE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE HOPPED A CURB AND THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRES BECAME DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE TIRE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO CORAL SPRINGS HONDA (9400 W ATLANTIC BLVD, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071, (954) 369-4679) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,800.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE A PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COLONIAL HONDA OF DARTMOUTH (LOCATED AT 225 STATE RD, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747, (508) 996-6800) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. *AS
MY VEHICLE HAS MISSING STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION STRUT TOWER. IT APPEARS THE ROBOT THAT BONDS THE PIECES OF METAL TOGETHER WITH ADHESIVE EITHER HAD AN AIR BUBBLE IN THE LINE WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE OR THERE WAS SOME OTHER DEFECT. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY HONDA TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE BUBBLES FIXED IN THE PAINT ON THE TRUNK LID. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT DETECT VEHICLES AHEAD AND ACCELERATES RAPIDLY OR APPLIES THE BRAKES ABRUPTLY FOR NO REASON. AMERICAN HONDA WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT IN THE SUSPENSION STRUT TOWER ADHESIVE BUT REFUSED TO SEND AN ENGINEER TO LOOK AT THE CAR. IN MY OPINION, ANY MISSING STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE USED TO JOIN METAL, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHLY DRESSED PLACE SUCH AS THE STRUT TOWER, COULD EASILY BECOME A SAFETY DEFECT. I WOULD PREFER MY VEHICLE BE BOUGHT BACK FROM HONDA AS IT APPEARS TO BE A LEMON.
7/17/19. 2018 ACCORD TOURING 2.0 PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER (HAS ABOUT 11,000 MILES NOW). I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN CAR MADE LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, BEGAN TO SMOKE INTENSELY, AND SHUDDERED TO A STOP AND DIED. I WAS ON BLUETOOTH PHONE CALL AT THE TIME AND THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END HEARD IT AND ASKED WHAT IT WAS. I SAID I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER JUST AS EVERY POSSIBLE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON DASH AND PROFUSE SMOKE POURED FROM SIDES AND UNDER HOOD. I JUMPED OUT AND MOVED AWAY FROM VEHICLE, SEEING A LONG STREAM OF LIQUID FROM UNDER THE CAR ALONG THE ROAD WHERE I HAD PULLED OVER. FIRE RESCUE CAME, ALTHOUGH THE CAR DID NOT IGNITE. THEY AND THE ROADSIDE SERVICE MAN ADVISED ME THAT OIL HAD EXPLODED EVERYWHERE, AS FROM A HIGH PRESSURE SITUATION. THE CAR HAS HAD ONE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER, PER ITS MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, AND OTHERWISE HAS HAD NOTHING DONE. I DID HEAR A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM IT THE PREVIOUS EVENING--LOUD ENOUGH THAT I CHECKED TO SEE IF IT HAD ANY MAINTENANCE WARNINGS, WHICH IT DID NOT. IT SAID MY OIL WAS AT 60% AND WOULD NEED A B1 WHEN IT WAS TIME. AFTER MY CAR DIED, IT REQUIRED A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT EVEN TURN IT ON AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, BUT THEY NEED A SPECIALIST TO COME LOOK AT IT. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW UTTERLY DANGEROUS THE SITUATION WAS. IF IT HAD BEEN LATER IN THE DAY WITH HEAVIER TRAFFIC, MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN AT EVEN GREATER RISK. IT SEEMS REALLY UNUSUAL TO HAVE SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE FOR NO REASON ON A NEW, HISTORICALLY RELIABLE VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREGG ORR HONDA (4701 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRINGS, AR 71913), BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,200.
ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD START FLASHING AND THE MESSAGE WAS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A 5TH TIME IT HAPPENS I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE MULTIPLEX CONTROLLED UNIT MODULE
WHILE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE HORN SOUNDS CONSTANTLY WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED UP UNTIL THE WHEEL IS STRAIGHTENED OUT.THE FUSE IN THE STEERING COLUMN TRIPS/DISCONNECTS SOMEHOW AND THE PROBLEM RETURNED WITHIN WEEKS OF REPAIR.
PAINT PEELING & CHIPPING - SIX MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NOV. 2018) THE PAINT STARTED CHIPPING AND PEELING ON THE HOOD, TOP AND TRUNK OF THE CAR. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS WASHED, IT GETS WORSE, SO I'M AFRAID TO WASH THE VEHICLE. THE SPOTS ARE VISIBLE WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. BRYAN HONDA AND AMERICAN HONDA HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. NOTHING WAS ADDRESSED UNTIL I REPORTED IT TO DIANE WILSON WITH EYEWITNESS NEWS TROUBLESHOOTER ON JULY 11, 2019. NOW BRYAN HONDA WANTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM CAME FROM TREE SAP, BIRD DROPPINGS, AND/OR ACID RAIN. RIDICULOUS! VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH AMERICAN HONDA, BRYAN HONDA AND MANAGEMENT. WILL NEVER BUT ANOTHER HONDA!
OBSERVED SPOTS ON THE BONNET WHERE THE PAINT HAS PEELED OFF. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BOUGHT IN OCT 2018.
PAINT IS PEELING AND COMING OFF. IT'S LIKE THERE IS NO CLEAR COAT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER THE CONTACT SECURED HIS CHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND CLOSED THE PASSENGER DOOR, THE VEHICLE LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE KEY FOB. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO OPEN THE VEHICLE AND RESCUE THE CHILD AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWENTY MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA WORLD (13600 BEACH BLVD, WESTMINSTER, CA, 714-890-8900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE MAIN MODULAR UNIT. THE FAILED PART ALSO CAUSED OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.
WHEN DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ENABLED THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM TIMES APPLY THE BREAKS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING INTERSTATE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2-4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 10,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP.
TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME, DOING 45 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A TWO LANE ROAD, THERE WERE NO CARS NEAR ME. SUDDENLY, THE CAR BEEPED TWICE, THE BRAKE SIGN CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STOPPED VIOLENTLY. THE SEAT BEAT LOCKED DOWN ACROSS ME. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. MY NECK AND RIGHT SHOULDER ARE NOW HURTING. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED A MILE FROM MY HOME. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE HONDA DEALER WHEN I GOT HOME TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS TIME WAS A MORE VIOLENT STOP. EACH TIME THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OR BESIDE THE CAR. THANKFULLY, EACH TIME NO OTHER CAR WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON, ON SURFACE ROADS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE SLAMMED ON BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY, THERE IS NOTHING ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO REGISTRATION IN THE WARRANTY SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO NO RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM WAS SENT TO HONDA USA.
TODAY 06-26-19 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5MPH OUT OF A PARKING LOT GOING VERY SLOW, I WAS READY TO TURN ONTO A ROAD THAT IS NOT BUSY AT ALL, OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR BRAKES LOCKED VIOLENTLY SUDDENLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT ALERT WENT OFF AS WELL, WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY. NOT A CAR, NOT A PERSON, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. MY CAR STOPPED SO HARD THAT IT JERKED MY NECK. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE & AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE 60 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE TO MY JOB. I'M NOT SURE IF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR.
DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, CAR BRAKED CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR-END ME. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME BEFORE, LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME WASN'T FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY AND I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30MPH. A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER THAT WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WET ROAD CONDITIONS, A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND TO SEE DEALER. ONCE THAT WARNING COMES ON CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DISENGAGES. THIS WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON ONE OTHER TIME, WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH DRY ROAD CONDITIONS. IF THE CAR IS RESTARTED THE WARNING RESETS AND ALL SYSTEMS ARE UP AND FUNCTIONING AGAIN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS SWITCHED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM TO STOP ACTIVATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHOTTENKIRK HONDA OF CARTERSVILLE (539 E MAIN ST, CARTERSVILLE, GA 30121, (770) 382-2282), BUT THEY FAILED TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,700.
CAR APPLIES BRAKES WHILE IN FORWARD MOTION. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CRUISE IS SET. I HAVE NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING INTO THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES THE CAR HAS APPLIED THE BRAKES, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER CAR. TWICE THE CAR HAS APPLIED THE BRAKES WHEN THERE ARE MARKINGS ON THE HIGHWAY SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.
HAVE AUTOMATIC BRAKING AND LANE ASSIST DRIVING. BRAKES ON ITS OWN WITH NOTHING IN FRONT. HAPPENED TWICE. DEALER CALLS IT A GLITCH. I CALL IT VERY DANGEROUS. POLICE OFFICER WAS BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAPPENED LAST. GOOD THING HE HAD GOOD REFLEXES AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS ONLY 45 MPH I WAS IN THE CENTER OF MY LANE WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS, NO VEHICLES COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. TURNED OFF THE PROGRAM AND HAVEN'T USED IT SINCE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID WOULD HAVE TO KEEP CAR AND TEST DRIVE UNTIL IT OCCURRED. I WILL DO THIS, BUT AM AFRAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING THE CAR FOR AWHILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN A PERIOD OF TWO MONTHS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FOUR MONTHS. ANOTHER PROBLEM..PAINT IS SPOTTING ON CAR LIKE IT WAS HIT WITH ACID. HAD PROTECTIVE WAX PUT ON THE WEEK I PURCHASED IT. VEHICLE HAS 3500 MILES ON IT. PAINT ALSO SHOWS TONS OF ORANGE PEEL. I PAID A LOT FOR THIS MODEL. EXPECTED MORE.
COLLISION MITIGATION, LANE ASSIST, ROAD DEPARTURE, AND BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION BEFORE VEHICLE IS A YEAR OLD CAUSING VEHICLE TO LEAVE ROADWAY WHEN USING SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH PREVENTING VEHICLE FROM STOPPING, AND/OR CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO "ALERT" YOU OF LANE DEPARTURE WHILE DRIVING PROPERLY ALSO CAUSING VEHICLE TO "STEER" INTO SIDE OF 18 WHEELER WHILE TRAVELING SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60MPH FOR INTERSTATE TRAVEL WITH PASSENGERS IN TOW. HAS HAPPENED FOR ROUGHLY 7,000 MILES. WHEN BROUGHT TO HONDA TO BE FIXED, WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY DUE TO HAVING "CLIPS" BROKEN OFF OF FRONT SENSOR. WAS ACCUSED OF SENSOR BEING HIT BY SOMETHING YET NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. HONDA REFUSED TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND SIMPLY "CLEARED" THE ALERTS CAUSING VEHICLE TO NOT HAVE USE OF ANY SAFETY FEATURES BUT ALSO NOT SHOW ANY MAINTENANCE CODES AS WELL. HONDA SERVICE MANAGER STATED SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A "JUNEBUG" CAN CAUSE THIS TO MALFUNCTION AND THAT IS WHY CUSTOMERS CARRY COLLISION WITH INSURANCE. STATES ALOT ABOUT HONDA'S QUALITY IF A SIMPLE JUNEBUG CAN CAUSE AN ENTIRE $30,000 VEHICLES SAFETY FEATURES TO MALFUNCTION AND A SERVICE MANAGER NOT WANT TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY STANDARDS DUE TO SOME 2$ BROKEN CLIPS THAT CAN BREAK BY SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A LOUISIANA ROADWAY. WHAT DOES THIS STATE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES UP NORTH DEALING WITH SNOW WITH A SENSOR THAT SITS UNDERNEATH THE FRONT BUMPER?
AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR'S BRAKES ENGAGED VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT, BEHIND OR ON EITHER SIDE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS THIS OCCURRED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, VARIOUS UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED BRILLIANCE HONDA OF CRYSTAL LAKE (LOCATED AT 680 W TERRA COTTA AVE, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60014, (815) 459-6400), BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,120.
PURCHASED NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT FROM DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL BRAKE WITH NO WARNING AND ANYTHING IN SIGHT. WE SEE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ALMOST ON A WEEKLY BASIS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE MARCH. OF COURSE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND UNTIL CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTINUALLY TRY'S TO REFER US TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND STANDS FIRM THAT THIS IS PART OF THE BRAKE MITIGATION SAFETY SYSTEM AND IS "NORMAL". I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ROUGHLY 70MPH ON A CLEAR DAY WITH NO VEHICLES IN SIGHT, NO ROAD CONSTRUCTION, STRAIGHT HIGHWAY, NOT MERGING ON OR OFF THE ROAD AND THE SYSTEM LOCK DOWN WITH THREE CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT. MOST RECENTLY MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED DOWN CAUSING A GENTLEMEN TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING HER IN THE REAR END. I'M SICK OF HEARING EXCUSES FROM HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP! THIS IS NOT A SAFETY FEATURE, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANGER THE SYSTEM CAN BE CUT OFF BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CUT OFF A "SAFETY" FEATURE ON A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I CERTAINLY HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE SOMEONE BEING KILLED BEFORE HONDA CORRECTS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED SIX OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKING DOWN JUST IN THE PAST MONTH. I HAVE ALSO SPOKE WITH HONDA CERTIFIED TECHS & SERVICE WRITERS WHOM HAVE ALL STATED THEY'RE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND NO FIX IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. IF SO I SUGGEST HONDA PURCHASE THIS 2018 HONDA ACCORD BACK!
THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM AND ADAPTIVE CRUSE CONTROL (ACC) HAS ON TWO OCCASIONS TURNED OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED - POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU ARE DEPENDING ON THE SYSTEM TO REGULATE YOUR SPEED IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR MUST BE STOPPED AND RESTARTED TO REACTIVATE THE SYSTEM. ALSO, THE SYSTEM AT TIMES APPLIES BRAKING WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER CARS OR OTHER OBSTACLES IN IT'S LINE OF SIGHT. THIS ALSO SEEMS TO HAPPEN (NOT ALWAYS) WHEN OVERTAKING A TRACTOR TRAILER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, TYPICALLY WITH THE DEALER NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE ERROR CODES RESET WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED.
I WAS DRIVING ON ON-410 SOUTH TO WORK ON MAY 24 ,2019 MORNING AND I TRIED TO OPEN THE SUNVISORS TO GET RID OF SUNLIGHT COMING FROM FRONT AS SOON AS I OPENED THE SUNVISORS THEY FELL DOWN AND CAME ACROSS THE FACE AND I WAS JUST ABOUT TO HIT THE CAR AT FRONT JUST BECAUSE OF IMPROPER VISIBILITY .
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 35 MPH WITH NO TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME AND ONE VEHICLE TO THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR. WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ROAD OR TRAFFIC AHEAD OF MY VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST A HALF MILE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FLASHING A "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AND LOCKED THE BRAKES CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A QUICK AND COMPLETE STOP IN LIVE TRAFFIC. ATTEMPTS TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM BY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I ESTIMATE THAT IT TOOK BETWEEN TWO TO THREE SECONDS BEFORE THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN TO OPERATING SPEED, NARROWLY AVOIDING A COLLISION.
WITH ONLY 8200 MILES AND 5 MONTHS ON THE ROAD, ORIGINAL BATTERY STARTED TO LEAK AND TWICE EXPERIENCED A TIME WHEN PUSH BUTTON START WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE. STRANDED. ONCE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF F AFTER 20 MINUTES. THE SECOND TIME REQUIRED A JUMP START TO GET THE ENGINE GOING. NO PROBLEMS ONCE THE ENGINE GOT STARTED. REPLACED LEAKING BATTERY AND PROBLEM HAS NOT RETURNED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE FAILURE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MILLENNIUM HONDA (286 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550, (516) 481-2800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A BRAKING FAILURE THAT DRAINED THE SYSTEM'S POWER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY TO STOP THE SYSTEM DRAINAGE; HOWEVER, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS STILL DISABLED AND HAD NOT BEEN REACTIVATED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD NOT CALLED THE CONTACT BACK YET WITH THE STATUS OF THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
THREE TIMES NOW I HAVE HAD THE EMERGENCY BREAKS ACTIVATE FOR NO REASON. NO ONE WAS INJURED THE FIRST TIME AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING VERY SLOW. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED THOUGH, I WAS INJURED. I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 45 MPH DOWN A BUSY STREET WHEN THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED. NOT ONLY DID THIS SCARE ME, BUT I WAS IN EXTREME PAIN AFTERWARDS. WHEN THE PAIN GOT WORSE AND I DEVELOPED BRUISING ON MY NECK I WENT TO SEE A SPECIALIST AND HE CONFIRMED THAT I HAVE WHIPLASH. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR IS JUST SENSITIVE. THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT OFFERED NO SOLUTION. I HAVE KEPT THE FEATURE TURNED OFF SINCE THIS HAPPENED. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WITH THE FEATURE DISABLED. MY SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE WERE BOTH SHAKEN UP PRETTY BADLY. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. EVERY TIME THE DASH LIGHTS UP FOR ANY REASON, I FLINCH. I HAVE HAD TO MISS WORK DUE TO THE INJURIES THAT I RECEIVED. I AM A SINGLE MOM TO FIVE KIDS, I CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS WORK DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING THAT THIS FEATURE WAS A SAFETY FEATURE. IT HAS CERTAINLY PROVEN TO BE THE OPPOSITE!
CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, NOTICED ALARM DID NOT WORK. HOURS LATER TRIED TO ENTER CAR AND NOTED THE FOLLOWING: TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN, DOORS EXCEPT FOR DRIVER WILL NOT OPEN, TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK, NO HIGH BEAMS, ALL MITIGATIONS SYSTEMS OFFLINE, BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. THANK GOODNESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD GET IT HOME AND/OR I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME WITH VEHICLE. SAID CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND HAS 10K MILEAGE.
I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT JUNE OF 2018. I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO HONDA MORE THAN 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE MITIGATION SYSTEM. THE CAR BRAKES ON ITS OWN WITH NO REASON. HONDA SAID IT COULD BE AN AIR FRESHENER HANGING ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, BUGS, RAIN, SNOW, AND EVEN A SHADOW FROM A BRIDGE. THEY SAY EVERY TIME I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN THAT NO ERRORS COME UP IN THE SYSTEM SO THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND SAY IT IS OPERATING AS THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO. I HAVE BEEN IN A 75MPH OR MORE ZONE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND THE CAR WILL BRAKE DOWN TO 40 OR LESS IN AN INSTANT. IT SENDS EVERYTHING IN MY VEHICLE FLYING. HONDA DENIED A HONDA BUY BACK BECAUSE THEY DID A SYSTEM UPDATE FOR THE BRAKE MITIGATION SYSTEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC YET. THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS BUT THEY EXPECT ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE REMOVE THESE VEHICLES FROM THE ROADS!
WHEN DRIVING MY CAR AND I APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE INITIAL BITE OF THE BRAKES FELLS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT STOPPING AS IT SHOULD AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER THEN IT STATS STOPPING VERY HARD IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IF I'M BRAKE CHECKING THE PERSON BEHIND ME, ALMOST GOT IN TO A COUPLE OF COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF IT AND ALSO ALMOST HAVE GOTTEN REAR END IT BECAUSE OF IT.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES THE ADAPTED CRUISE CONTROL TO DEACTIVATE ITSELF ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN DRIVING IN HIGH OR LOW SPEED TRAFFIC, HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY OR REGULAR STREET, ALL KINDS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS FROM RAIN TO SUNSHINE. VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHILE GOING ON I-95 IN HIGH TRAFFIC THAT IS ALL MOVING VERY FAST. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN IF NOT MORE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A RESOLUTION. TAKING IT AGAIN NEXT WEDNESDAY 5/15/19.
ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) FAILED WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 40 MPH. APPROACHING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME WHICH WAS RAPIDLY SLOWING/STOPPING, THE ACC FAILED TO SLOW MY VEHICLE WHICH FORCED ME TO MANUALLY APPLY HARD BRAKING AT THE LAST MOMENT TO AVOID A COLLISION. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN THERE WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH READ "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER". THE WEATHER AT THE TIME WAS CLEAR AND 62 DEG. F, AND THE VEHICLE WAS CLEAN WITH NO DIRT NOR OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE FRONT RADAR UNIT NOR THE WINDSHIELD (CAMERA AREA). THE ACC COULD NOT BE RESTARTED UNTIL I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN/RESTARTED IT, WHICH THEN CLEARED THE ERROR MESSAGE AND ENABLED ME TO REINITIATE THE ACC SYSTEM. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT!
THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING WHEN I APPROACH A CAR ON THE INTERSTATE. USUALLY THIS WILL HAPPEN 1-3 TIMES PER 100 MILE TRIP. I NEED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IF I PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FUNCTION AGAIN. PULLING OFF ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE OR EXIT RAMP IS HAZARDOUS. APPARENTLY SOME PEOPLE ARE PUTTING THEIR CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE STILL DRIVING ON INTERSTATES, TURNING THE CAR OFF, THEN ON AGAIN.
I HAVE A 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T TOURING. I HAVE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT GIVING AN AMBER DASH WARNING TO SEE THE DEALER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES ALL WHEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. IT ALSO DISABLED THE CRUSE CONTROL. ALL 6 TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE ROAD WAS FLAT AND STRAIGHT AND IT WAS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY WITH NO OTHER CAR IN THE VICINITY .THE RADAR UNIT AND CAMERA WERE FREE OF BUGS. MOST TIMES, UPON SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING EVERYTHING RETURNS TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, ONE TIME UPON RESTARTING THE CAR THE PHONE ,RADIO NAVIGATION, ADAPTIVE CRUSE CONTROL, CRUSE CONTROL AND COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD NOT COME BACK AND I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF EL CAJON, CA ON 4/21/18 AND CHAPMAN HONDA, AZ ON 7/31/18 AND 7/3/19. NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND ALL 3 TIMES
ON 2018 HONDA ACCORDS THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH IS STANDARDS ON ALL TRIM LEVELS, DOES NOT BRAKE THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN THE SET SPEED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. THIS IS ODD SINCE THE VEHICLE WILL APPLY BRAKES TO MAINTAIN SPEED IF THERE'S A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CAR, BUT ON DOWNHILLS ALL IT WILL DO IS MAKE SEVERAL DOWNSHIFTS TO TRY AND MAINTAIN THE SPEED. EVERY OTHER CAR I'VE DRIVEN THAT HAS ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL APPLY BRAKES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SPEED FROM INCREASING IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. OF COURSE IF YOU TAP THE BRAKES YOURSELF CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED. A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
ON ENTERING A TOUCHLESS CARWASH, WINDSHIELD LOUDLY CRACKED. THERE WAS A MINOR STONE CHIP NEAR THE START OF THE TWO CRACKS THAT APPEARED, BUT IT DID NOT PENETRATE THE FIRST PANEL OF GLASS. TWO CRACKS WERE APPROXIMATELY 18 INCHES LONG
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE FRONT COLLISION SYSTEM STOPPED THE CAR RANDOMLY CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARD. IT IS DOING IT INTERMITTENTLY WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE
I HAVE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT GIVING AN AMBER DASH WARNING TO SEE THE DEALER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO NOT FUNCTION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER MORE THAN TWICE WHILE MAKING A TURN AND DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. WAIKEM HONDA (3910 LINCOLN WAY E, MASSILLON, OH 44646, (330) 477-5002) WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR LOCATE A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT FOUND NO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND A SECOND TIME AROUND 7,300 MILES.*BF CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I CANNOT ACCELERATE. IF I WERE IN THE LEFT LANE PASSING A SEMI, I COULD VISUALIZE THIS A FATAL ACCIDENT. I AM ANTICIPATING ANOTHER "LIMP MODE" SOON AS I HAVE JUST OVER 11,000 MILES AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY 3 TO 4,000 MILES. *JB
I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT, RELATED TO THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, HEAD UNIT, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM, NOISE (TIRE AND POOR SOUND INSULATION) AS WELL OTHER ISSUES WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT.
I HAVE A 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T TOURING WITH THE 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY ROUGH FROM 2-3 GEAR, 3-4TH AND DOWNSHIFTING INTO PRETTY MUCH ANY GEAR. IT'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ON THIS CAR, WHICH I IMMEDIATELY DISPUTED BECAUSE I'VE DRIVEN OTHER EXACT MODELS THAT DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS ROUGH SHIFTING BEHAVIOR. I ALSO AM DISSATISFIED WITH THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE REVERSE FROM PARK. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 SECONDS FOR REVERSE TO ENGAGE AT WHICH TIME IT JUST SLAMS INTO GEAR. I'VE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE VARIOUS CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A PAINT DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY ON THE REAR TRUNK LID. HONDA INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS HARD WITH MY SCHEDULE. IF THIS CONTINUES AFTER THE NEXT SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I'M GOING TO DEMAND THE CAR BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM GOES OUT FOR NO REASON AND SHUTS OFF AUTOMATIC CRUISE CONTROL. HAVE TO RESTART CAR TO RESET. HAS OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. I HAVE 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR, BUT DON'T USE ACC MUCH SINCE MOST OF MY DRIVING IS IN THE CITY. HAPPENED ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS ON FREEWAY. GOING 70 MPH.
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2018 ACCORD HAS UNEXPECTEDLY BRAKED WHEN THERE WAS NO OBJECT/CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THERE IS CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME, THE SENSORS DO NOT KICK IN FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTED BRAKING. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT WITH THIS CAR.
AFTER CAR HAS WARMED UP, UPON A RESTART, GASOLINE ODOR COMES THROUGH AIR VENTS AS CAR IDLES. THIS IS ON THE 2.0L TURBO ENGINE IN THE SPORT MODEL.
I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 4 MONTHS, AND THE CAR HAS COME TO A STOP THREE TIMES ON A BUSY STATE ROUTE AT RUSH HOUR, AND ONCE ON A STREET WHEN THE ROAD EXPANDED FROM ONE LANE TO TWO. I AM NOW TURNING THE CMBS OFF EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE BRAKING SYSTEM STILL ENGAGED! I MUST CROSS OVER A SOLID WHITE LINE TO ACCESS THE FREEWAY, AND I'M SCARED THAT THE CAR WILL STOP THERE EVERY DAY. ONE DAY WAS BRIGHT AND SUNNY OUT, ONE DAY WAS DARK BEFORE SUNRISE, ONE DAY WAS CLOUDY AND OVERCAST. IN ALL CASES, THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND DRY.
THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESET THE WARNING LIGHT. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX THE LIGHT HAS COME ON IN ALL TYPES OF DRIVING CONDITIONS, CLEAR AND DRY, RAIN, ETC.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE SITUATION IMPACTED THE CONTACT'S DRIVING ABILITY. HONDA CITY (3859 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (516) 717-4762) WAS CONTACTED AND UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 0. *JS *JS *JS *JS *JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WHEN THE CONTACT LIFTED HIS FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE BOTTOM OF HIS FOOT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA CITY LONG ISLAND (LOCATED AT 3859 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (516) 717-4762) WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED, BUT NOT TEST DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.
HAD THE CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, AND HAVE HALF A DOZEN SMALL ROCK CHIPS IN THE GLASS. HAD SAFELITE COME OUT TO REPAIR AND THEY SAID THEY ARE GETTING A TON OF THESE NEW ACCORDS IN FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT BUT MY CHIPS WERE TOO SMALL TO REPAIR. GUESS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO CRACK AND SPREAD AND GET A WHOLE NEW $1,000 WINDSHIELD. THIS GLASS SEEMS WAY TOO PRONE TO CHIPS AND CRACKING. OTHER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR WINDSHIELD CRACKING WITH NO SIGNS OF VISIBLE DAMAGE.
THE CAR ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAPPENED ON MARCH 28 1:30PM WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 24. THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING ON HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WHEN I FIRST SMELLED SOMETHING IS BURNING. I THEN SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT SECTION OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CHANGED LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO STOPPED THE CAR BY PRESSING THE FOOT BRAKE. THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN BUT IT WAS CONTINUED ROWING FORWARD. IT IS ON A SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL SLOP. AS SEEING SMOKE GETTING DARKER AND MORE STRONG, I PRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT STOPPED. I THEN OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND ROWED OUT FROM THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CAR AND I WAS OK. I THEN CALLED 911 TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I HAVE 2 CONCERNS. MY CAR WAS JUST 16 MONTHS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE SERVICE SCHEDULE. HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN TO A RELATIVELY NEW CAR AND PERFECT SERVICE RECORD. THE OTHER CONCERN IS WHEN THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, BOTH THE FOOT BREAK AND PARKING BREAK COULD NOT STOPPED THE CAR FROM MOVING. HAS THIS HAPPENED IN A UPHILL OR DOWN HILL SLOP, I WOULD BE AT GREAT RISK.
DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, 65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. SUDDENLY, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND VEHICLE ABRUPTLY AND QUICKLY DECELERATED FROM 65 TO 20 MPH, FORCING ME TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, I RE-STARTED THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER AND DROVE TO THE NEXT EXIT A COUPLE MILES AHEAD AT A REDUCE SPEED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE HONDA DEALER IN ORCHARD PARK, NY ,WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED, TOLD ME THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY HIGH, AND CHANGED MY OIL TO BRING IT TO A NORMAL OIL LEVEL. THE DEALER FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THE BECAUSE I DRIVE SHORT TRIPS AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN COLD THAT IS WHY GASOLINE IS GOING INTO THE OIL AND GIVING ME ENGINE TROUBLE ON MY NEW CAR. MY HONDA DEALER IN ROCHESTER, NY CONFIRMED THE SAME AND SAID TO DRIVE MY CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME TO HELP AVOID THIS ISSUE. MY DRIVING HABITS AS A STUDENT LIVING ON A SMALL CAMPUS, IN A COLD AREA, ARE THAT OF A FEW SHORT DRIVES A DAY TO CLASSES. I USE MY CAR PRIMARILY FOR DRIVING MYSELF HOME AND TO SCHOOL WHICH IS A 2 HOUR DRIVE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY HONDA ACCORD, AND BOTH HONDA DEALERSHIPS SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HONDA CR-V & CIVIC BUT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY ISSUES WITH A HONDA ACCORD. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT MY NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD WITH 2220 MILES HAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION ON THE HIGHWAY SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME AND MY FAMILY AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL I DID NOT GET HURT OR MY CAR MALFUNCTIONING DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSE INJURY TO OTHER DRIVERS.
CAR HAS A SAFETY SENSOR SYSTEM CALLED CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM) THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU AVOID COLLISIONS. ON 2 OCCASIONS THIS BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED FOR NO APPARENT REASON CAUSING THE CAR TO BRAKE ABRUPTLY IN TRAFFIC CREATING EXTREME ACCIDENT POTENTIAL.
TPMS WARNING LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED, PRESSURES ARE OKAY. WARNING IS A FALSE ALARM. AFTER SYSTEM IS RESET/RECALIBRATED THE TPMS IS OKAY FOR 50 TO 100 MILES BEFORE ANOTHER FALSE ALARM WARNING COMES ON. RESETTING SYSTEM LASTS ANOTHER 50 TO 100 MILES
UPON DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AT NIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS RAPIDLY DEPRESSED TO AVOID ANOTHER RAPIDLY ONCOMING CAR FROM THE REAR OF MY CAR. MY CAR STUMBLED AND A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR THEN WENT INTO AN OPERATING MODE IN WHICH ABOUT 80% OF THE CAR'S POWER WAS LOST AND COULD ONLY BE DRIVEN VERY SLOWLY. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN 5 MILES TO MY HOUSE. AT HOME THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR THEN PERFORMED NORMALLY. A SIMILAR INCIDENT PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO FAULT CODES REPORTED FROM THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. AS A RESULT, THE DEALER DID NOTHING. THIS IS SURPRISING SINCE THIS WAS A MAJOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY ANOMALY FOR THIS CAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, NO ACTION OR COMMENT FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
MY WIFE WAS BACKING UP USING THE CARS BACK UP CAMERA THE VIEW SHOWED THE DIRECTION LINES BUT NO OBSTRUCTIONS. WITH NO WARNING SHE HIT A PARKED CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH. THE CAR AT NO TIME WAS VISIBLE IN THE CAMERA MONITOR.
I PURCHASED MY CARS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND NOTICED SOME ISSUES AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. FIRST THERE'S NO MILEAGE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER, ONLY KILOMETER. AS SOON AS YOU SWITCH TO MILES IT DISAPPEARS. SECOND, THE CAR PLAY SYSTEM OFTEN TIMES RESETS ITSELF WHILE IN DRIVING MODE , ALSO HAPPENS A LOT WHEN GEAR IS SHIFTED. THIRD, LANE SENSOR SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DEFECTED AS WELL AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED FOR A SECOND, THE WORST IS THE CAR POOL LANE, IN CALIFORNIA IS A YELLOW LANE AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY PULLS TOWARDS IT. IT OBVIOUSLY CANNOT DETECT YELLOW LINES. TODAY SOMETHING NEW HAPPENED AND COMPLETELY CHANGED THE GAME FOR ME : THE CAR EMERGENCY BREAKS WERE ACTIVATED BY NOTHING AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON 90 MPH !!!!!!! ALL MY STUFF WERE THROWN FROM THE BACK SEAT TO THE FRONT AND I GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THE SEAT-BELT THAT WAS PUSHED AGAINST ME! LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR...THERE WERE ZERO CARS BEFORE ME OR AROUND ME ! THANK GOD FOR NO CARS BEHIND ME OR THIS CITATION COULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THE KEYS OVER THERE TILL THEY FIGURE IT OUR OR GIVE ME A DIFFERENT CAR. I'M SCARED TO GO BACK DRIVING IT.
I ENGAGED ACC, THAT CONTROLS CRUISE CONTROL AND FRONTAL COLLISION ,MITIGATION SYSTEM, IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. WHILE TRAVELLING AT A SPEED OF 60 MILES PER HOUR, FOLLOWING ANOTHER CAR THE SPACING WAS CONTROLLED BY ACC. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CONTINUED FORWARD, MY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND CAUSED ME TO GO FROM 60 MPH TO ABOUT 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE TO MY REAR HAD TO TAKE AN EVASIVE MANEUVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SAW NO ROAD DEBRIS. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE RADAR UNIT AND THE CAMERA SYSTEM. NO ISSUES OBSERVED. DURING THIS TRIP THE ACC WENT OFFLINE 3 TIMES DOWN TO SC AND TWICE IT FAILED DRIVING BACK HOME. EACH TIME I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSED ISSUES AS THE SYSTEM WAS TRYING TO MANAGE MY SPEED IN TRAFFIC.
ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY CAR'S AUTOMATIC COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WITHOUT NOTICE AND ANY REASON. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY CAR AND THE CAR BRAKED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS THROWN FORWARD AND BACK WITH A JERK. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOWER NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. I DISENGAGED THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM AND WILL TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS.
2018 ACCORD TOURING 2.0 ABOUT 1800 MILES ON IT. THE CAR SHIFTS VERY ROUGH IN THE FIRST 3-4 GEARS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. ALSO HAPPENS AT TIMES WHEN ITS WARMER. ONE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT WITH A HONDA APPROVED BREAK-IN PROCEDURE. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED EACH DAY I DRIVE THE CAR SINCE I FIRST GOT IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM ERROR POPPED UP, WHICH SUGGESTED TAKING THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR 2 DAYS AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START WITH THIS ERROR.
COLLUSION CONTROL DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION AND DOES NOT RECOGNIZE CHILDREN WHEN STATIONARY
FUEL IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE OVERFILLED
I BOUGHT A NEW ACCORD IN SEPTEMBER 2018, THERE WAS NOISE IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE ALSO HAD ABNORMAL SOUNDS, TERRIBLE DEALERS, TERRIBLE SERVICE, TERRIBLE AMERICAN HONDA! THEY CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, JUST SHIRK EACH OTHER'S RESPONSIBILITY! RECENTLY I FOUND THAT THE LANE KEEP SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO THE HONDA SERVICE STATION 10 TIMES FOR THESE QUESTIONS! BUT THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT THESE ARE NOT PROBLEMS. IT'S JUST UNACCEPTABLE.
I HAVE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE AAC SYSTEM ALMOST RESULTING IN A FRONT COLLISION. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE THE OTHER AFTERNOON WITH AAC AND LKAS ENGAGED ON MY 2018 ACCORDT TOURING WITH 18000 MILES IT WAS 89F I WAS IN TRAFFIC BUT CRUISING AT A STEADY 65 MPH WHEN THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME STARTED TO SLOW. IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT THE DASHBOARD THREW THE ERROR MESSAGE "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ERROR. PLEASE SEE YOUR DEALER." LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO APPLY BRAKES ALMOST HAS A CRASH WENT HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING ERROR WAS GONE DID AGAIN WHEN I DRIVING FEW WEEKS LATER AND RECENTLY ON FEBRUARY 15TH 2019 I ALMOST HAD ANOTHER CRASH BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE WENT TO THE DEALER THEY HOLD THE CAR FOR 1 AND HALF WEEK CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUE AND GOT CAR BACK ON MARCH 8TH AFTER DRIVING 5-6 MILES GOT SAME PROBLEM TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURNED ON AGAIN AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 7-8 MILES SAME PROBLEM CALLED THE DEALER THEY WANT ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN THE MESSAGE STILL APPEARING ON THE SCREEN OTHER WAY THEY TELLING TO TAKE RISK OF CRASHING CAR BEFORE THEY CAN HELP ME CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE GOT SAME RESPONSE
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES OF A WARNING THAT STATES "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE YOUR DEALER." THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL POP UP RANDOMLY WITH NO PATTERN WHILE USING THE ADVANCED CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ON MY VEHICLE. WHILE THIS ERROR IS PRESENT I AM NOT ABLE TO USE ANY KIND OF CRUISE CONTROL SETTINGS. I WAS HAVE SEEN MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN MANY HORRIBLE SOLUTIONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO JUST PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART IT TO CLEAR THE ERRORS OUT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAMERA IS JUST DIRTY AND THAT I NEED TO CARRY A BOTTLE OF WATER AND A RAG TO WIPE OFF THE WINDSHIELD ANYTIME IT HAPPENS. I HAVE TRIED BOTH OF THESE SOLUTIONS SEVERAL TIMES AND NEITHER HAS WORKED. IN FACT EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF AND RESTART MY VEHICLE I HAVE EIGHT OTHER SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE MESSAGES THAT POPULATE.
WHILE DRIVING I RECEIVED ERROR CODE ADVISING THAT THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND I SHOULD SEE A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND SYSTEM WAS SHOWING TO BE FUNCTIONING. 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD I GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. AGAIN, STOPPED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AND MESSAGE GOES AWAY.
HONDA ACCORD 2018 LX. TWO INSTANCES OF CAR NOT STARTING WHEN STATIONARY. MOST RECENT INSTANCE OF ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.
I GOT MY FIRST CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT. NEVER HEARD THE ROCK HIT IT . IT WAS A VERY TEENY TINY NICK AND TURNED INTO A LONG CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. THE SECOND CRACK WAS TODAY. A ROCK CAME FROM A SEMI TRUCK TRAVELING IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME AS I WAS PASSING ON THE LEFT SIDE LANE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ROCK HIT. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. I HAVE A LINE SPLITTING ACROSS MY PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW ANOTHER ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE. IT SEEMS THE GLASS IS MADE VERY POORLY. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS EASILY. I HAVE OWNED A TON OF VEHICLES. ROCKS HIT THE WINDSHIELD FROM TIME TO TIME AND NEVER CAUSED A CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. A NICK MAYBE YES, BUT NOT AN INSTANT CRACK THAT WILL NOT STOP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ROAD TERRAIN CHANGED AND THE BRAKE ASSIST ENGAGED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPTLY. IN ADDITION, THE LANE ASSIST FEATURE WAS PULLING THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE ASSIST AND LANE ASSIST WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 949.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE TRAFFIC CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP AND MY EMERGENCY COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING KICKED IN. I PROCEEDED TO PRESS THE BRAKES MYSELF AND THE COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED THE BRAKES AND WOULD NOT RELEASE FOR NEARLY SEVEN SECONDS. I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT RELEASING. I PRESSED THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES AND PRESS THE BRAKES TO TRY TO RELEASE IT BUT NOTHING WORKED UNTIL THE BRAKES EVENTUALLY RELEASED THEMSELVES ABOUT 7 SECONDS LATER.
TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT MY CAR APPLIED BRAKE BY ITSELF WHEN I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND THERE WAS NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. TO MENTION THAT MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD HAS THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM BUT I GOT USE TO HOW IT WORKS ITS NICE , BUT SOMETIMES IT APPLIES BRAKE FOR NO REASON AND ITS SCARY BECAUSE THIS SYSTEM DISCONNECT THE GAS PADEL WHEN APPLIED AND ITS SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN IT IS ACTING WEIRD AND APPLYING BRAKE WHEN ITS NOT NECESSARY ( VIN:(XXXX) ). THANK YOU PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
CMBS PROBLEM... WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY WHEN THE "COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM" LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT DISABLED THE ACC I WAS USING. NOTHING PARTICULAR HAPPENED, MAYBE I WAS BRAKING AT THE TIME. I ARRIVED AT DESTINATION. TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK AGAIN RIGHT AWAY TO SEE THE WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEAR AND EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. I THOUGHT I WAS OK BUT IT HAPPENED FEW HOURS LATER ON THE WAY BACK IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.
IN COLDER WEATHER, THE VEHICLE MAKES A DRONE LIKE HUMMING NOISE, SIMILAR TO RUNNING A WET FINGER AROUND A WINE GLASS EXCEPT LOUDER. IF I OPEN THE WINDOW IT STOPS, IT ALSO STOPS BELOW 5 MPH. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING, I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME IT'S THE SPEAKERS, BUT WHY WOULD IT STOP WHEN THE WINDOW IS OPEN. I BELIEVE IT'S THE ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION ANC - ONCE THE VEHICLE WARMS UP 15 - 20 MINUTES THE NOISE STOPS. I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD THAT HONDA IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE "ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT, BUT NO FIX AT THIS TIME". THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND IT ISN'T STOPPING. SEEMS LIKE HONDA IS HOPING FOR WARMER WEATHER BUT THAT IS NOT RIGHT. PLEASE HELP.
BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUG. 2018. THE STEERING ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND HARD TO DUPLICATE. CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A "NOTCH" OR "FROZEN" OR "STUCK" FEELING IN THE STEERING WHILE GOING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN THE POSITION AND ALMOST HAVE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL TO GET IT TO MOVE. IN THE 7 MONTHS OF DRIVING, I WOULD SAY ITS HAPPEN NO LESS THAN 20 TIMES. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD FORUMS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. SAYING THAT HONDA ACTS LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE REPLACING THE WHOLE STEERING RACK AS A SOLUTION (WHICH HAS A DIFFERENT PART #). I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM 4 TRIES TO INSTALL MY HEATED STEERING WHEEL CORRECTLY AND I AM JUST WASTING MY TIME WITHOUT A RECALL OR TSB. ON BEHALF OF MANY 2018 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS, THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT COULD POTENTIALLY GET WORSE I GUESS AND HARDER TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL OUT THE "NOTCH" RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.
AT ONLY 4,200 MILES MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT 1.5L TURBO BEGAN HAVING AN EXTREMELY ANNOYING STEERING ISSUE. IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ALL SPEEDS, BUT IS TRULY SIGNIFICANT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEERING NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS, MOVING IT SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT, THEN 10 SECONDS LATER, SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT, OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP. ON LONG TRIPS THE ISSUE IS ALMOST UNBEARABLE AS I SPEND THE WHOLE TIME CORRECTING THE STEERING. I'VE HAD MANY CARS IN THE PAST THAT HAVE NEEDED WHEEL ALIGNMENTS, BUT THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT FEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL (OR WHEELS) SEEM TO ACTUALLY STICK SLIGHTLY WHEN SLIGHTLY MOVING IT TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. AFTER PUTTING ENOUGH PRESSURE ON THE THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN MOVE BUT NEVER IN A SMOOTH MANNER, AGAIN IT SEEMS SLIGHTLY STUCK AND THEN JERKS TO THE SIDE THAT I'M TRYING TO CORRECT TO. I'VE NOW HAD TWO TIRE ROTATIONS (THINKING MAYBE IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM) AND EVEN PAID FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS THE SAME. I REALLY HOPE THERE IS AN EVENTUAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
CAR IS 2 WEEKS OLD AND I'VE HAD THE CMBS WHICH CONTROLS THE AUTOBRAKING AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL GO OFF 4 TIMES WITH THE FAILURE WARNING AND TO SEE THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. EACH TIME WAS UNDER A DIFFERENT SET OF ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING AT NIGHT, A CLOUDY DAY, RAIN, AND SUNNY. IT SEEMS TO FAIL WITHIN 10 MINS OF THE FIRST TIME THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE IS SET. THE GREEN LIGHT THAT INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS WORKING GOES OFF AND TURNS TO ORANGE. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR REPAIR BUT ONLINE SEARCHING SHOWS BOTH DEALERS AND HONDA DO NOT HAVE A FIX.
AFTER MY "BRAKE SYSTEM" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP DENIED IT EVEN THOUGH I HAD RECORD OF IT, MY CAR DECIDED TO SEE HOW FAST IT COULD HIT THE BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING ON THE US-60 IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON, TRAVELING AT 65 MPH DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR, SO IT'S STILL DARK, ON A 6 LANE FREEWAY. I CAN SEE BRAKE LIGHTS FAR AHEAD, SO I LIGHTLY TAP MY BRAKES TO DISENGAGE ACC AND SLIGHTLY SLOW THE CAR DOWN. THE CAR HAD OTHER PLANS AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY LOCKED UP LIKE IT WAS USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKING FOR COLLISION MITIGATION' BUT NO WARNING/INFO SHOWED ON THE DASHBOARD AS IT NORMALLY DOES WHEN EMERGENCY SYSTEMS ENGAGE. SO BASICALLY MY CAR DECIDED IT WANTED TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY FREEWAY, NEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, ALL BECAUSE I LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE BRAKES-- IT WAS NOT ABRUPT, IT WAS NOT A HARD PUSH... IT WAS LITERALLY TO TURN OFF ACC. I WATCHED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AS THE SUV BEHIND ME WAS ABOUT TO PUT MY TRUNK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, BUT THANKFULLY THEY WERE ABLE TO SWERVE INTO THE HOV LANE NEXT TO US. THEY BARELY MISSED ME AND IF THAT OPEN SPOT WAS NOT THERE FOR THEM, I'D LIKELY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. HONDA HAS IGNORED MY MESSAGES AND IT'S TIME TO LET OUR GOVERNMENT KNOW THIS CAR HAS ISSUES.
AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL IS "STICKING" WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT BECOMES "FROZEN" AND REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL BIT OF FORCE TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS MAKES HIGHWAY DRIVING VERY ANNOYING (AND SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS). THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES.
ON 2/14/19, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE CAR AHEAD OF ME STOPPED. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND INSTANTLY THE DASHBOARD WARNINGS LIT UP - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM, AND THE BRAKE - AND THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK SO I COULD NOT STOP. I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DOING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THE WARNINGS WERE STILL VISIBLE AFTER THE CRASH AND I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DASHBOARD AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. THE WARNINGS SAY SOMETHING ABOUT SYSTEM NOT WORKING AND TO SEE A DEALER. THE SAME WARNINGS APPEARED ON 2/13/19 IN THE AFTERNOON BUT DISAPPEARED ON 2/14/19 IN THE MORNING. OTHER WARNINGS OF SAFETY SYSTEMS NOT ACTIVE HAVE APPEARED DUE TO ICE/SLUSH BUT THEN CLEARED WHEN THE SENSORS WERE CLEARED, BUT THESE NEW WARNINGS ARE DIFFERENT. AT LEAST TWICE, MAYBE THREE TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN WITH NOTHING IN THE ROAD OR IN FRONT OF THE CAR. MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY WORKED FINE FOR FIRST 2-3 MONTHS BUT THEN STOPPED AND I COULDN'T RECONNECT THE PHONE OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN ONE SYSTEM/ELECTRONICS PROBLEM AND SEEMS LIKE THE WARNINGS APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE NOT WORKING AS IF IT WAS MORE THAN AN ALERT BUT A SYSTEM (SYSTEMS) NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AT ALL. THE BRAKE WORKED AFTER THE ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED.
STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FIRST NOTICED ON A LONG TRIP FROM VIRGINIA TO NJ AND THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE-TIME THING. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED ON THE RETURN TRIP. PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF INITIALLY AS THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS "FROZEN" IN PLACE. TO CORRECT THE NORMAL DRIFT, DRIVER MUST "BREAK" THE STEERING WHEEL FREE FROM THE FROZEN POSITION TO CORRECT THE DRIFT. THIS IS A CONTINUAL CONDITION AS THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNS INSTANTLY TO ITS FROZEN STATE AND MUST BE CONTINUALLY UN-STUCK DURING THE DURATION OF THE TRIP - GOING FROM STUCK TO UN-STUCK BACK TO STUCK. TRIP WAS MADE DURING COLD, RAINY, AND SOMETIMES LIGHTLY SNOWY CONDITIONS. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP AND IS BEING DRIVEN HOME BY TECHNICIANS IN AN ATTEMPT TO INDUCE THE FAULT. TURNED OFF ALL SYSTEMS SUSPECTED OF AFFECTING THIS CONDITION - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, HONDA SENSING, LAND DEPARTURE WARNING, ETC. PROBLEM EXISTS WHETHER THESE FEATURES ARE ENGAGED OR NOT. THE PRESENCE OF THIS CONDITION MAKE ME VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55+ MPH AS I DON'T KNOW IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO JUST LOCK UP AND NOT BREAK FREE FROM ITS STUCK CONDITION.
MY COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM RANDOMLY FAILS WHICH POPS UP AN ALERT AND DISABLES MY ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING. IT HAS HAPPENED VARIOUS TIMES WHEN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN ENGAGED WITH DIFFERENT ENVIRONEMENTAL SITUATUONS (DAY AND NIGHT, SUNNY AND CLOUDY). TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING TYPICALLY CORRECTS THE ISSUE FOR A TIME BUT IT CONTINUES TO FAIL INTERMENTLY.
ACCORD FRONT CHROME GRILL IS BUBBLING UP. NOTICED IT AFTER 1 DAY OF PURCHASE. CAR WAS IS MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I HAVE NOTICED THE BUBBLING. OTHER OWNERS HAVE NOTICED THE SAME THING AND HAVE HAD THE PART REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER, THEY REFUSED TO CHANGE THE PART UNDER WARRANTY.
1) WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE IN MOTION OR FROM A PARKED POSITION THERE IS A 'CLICKING' NOISE THAT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT SOUNDS LIKE A GEAR IS STUCK OR SOMETHING IS STUCK. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS NOTICEABLE AND DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A NORMAL NOISE. 2) HONDA SENSING LIGHT WILL FLASH EVEN WHEN NO OBJECT IS APPROACHING AND WILL CONTINUE TO FLASH.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM,CAR BRAKES BY ITS SELF ,WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH AND CAR SLAMED ON BRAKES TO 35 ON US 71 ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO MONITOR ON DASH THAT HAS HOME ,NAV,AUDIO SETTINGS SHUTS OFF BY ITS SELF AND REBOOTS.BRAKING PROBLEM HAPPENS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND NORMAL DRIVING. I PHOTO THE DASH 5 TIMES WHEN COLLISION MITIGATION WENT OFF IN A 5000 MILE PERIOD .
VEHICLE RUNNING, BOTH DRIVING AND STATIONARY, DASH INDICATED THREE WARNINGS: "ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM", "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING PROBLEM", "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION PROBLEM". ALL THREE SYSTEMS WERE NONFUNCTIONAL. DEALER ADVISED TO DRIVE THROUGH A CAR WASH BEFORE COMING IN FOR REPAIR. THE CAR WASH APPEARS TO HAVE WORKED, BUT THIS IS ABSURD! EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR CAR IS DIRTY, THE SAFETY FEATURES DON'T WORK? DIDN'T SEE THIS DISCLOSURE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR OR WHEN I PAID FOR THESE FEATURES.
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT 25 WHEN IT STARTED SHOWING THREE WARNINGS " COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE, LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM FAILURE, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE (SEE YOUR DEALER). I CALLED MY LOCAL HNDA DEALERSHIP IN READING PA. THEY SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED ALOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND THEY THINK THEY HONDA SENSING SYSTEM JUST FREEZES IN THE WINTER. IT ONLY SNOWED 5 INCHES A DAY PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. BASICALLY THEY SAID IT WILL GO AWAY ONCE ITS BIT WARMER AND THEY HAVE NO FACTORY RECALL. ALL THE DEALERSHIP COULD REPEAT " WE ARE SORRY". I LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND I FOUND 100S OF SIMILAR COMPLAINT. MY QUESTION IS WHY THEY ARE NOT FIXING IT? WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL? THE FAILURE OF THIS HONDA SENSING SYSTEM DEFEATS THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT THIS CAR ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS.
SINCE 1/14/2019, STEERING HAS BEEN STICKING AND DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN TRACK WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, STEERING SEEMS ABNORMALLY "LOOSE" WHEN THE STICKING CONDITION IS NOT PRESENT. VEHICLE DOES NOT FEEL SECURE IN STEERING. LANE KEEP HAS BEEN TURNED OFF SINCE OCTOBER 2018. TIRE PRESSURE IS AS PER DOOR STICKER. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP NOW-HONDA IS REPLACING STEERING GEAR BOX-PART IS ON BACKORDER, WITH UNKNOWN AVAILABILITY OR DELIVERY DATE. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED IN NHTSA ID # 11171463, AND 11156728. PROBLEM APPEARED AT APPROXIMATELY 5500 MILES ON ODOMETER.
WHEEL WELLS BUILDING UP WITH ICE/SNOW CAUSING VEHICLE TO VIBRATE WHILE OPERATING (LIKE OUT OF ALIGNMENT) AND HINDERING THE TURNING OF THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT BECAUSE TIRES ARE HITTING THE ICE/SNOW BUILDUP ON WHEEL WELL.THE TIRES WHEN COLD ALSO BEHAVE AS IF ROAD IS SLIPPERY, BOTH IN ACCERALATION/STOPPING EVEN THOUGH ROAD MAY BE DRY. THIS OCCURS IN COLD TEMPERATURES ONLY. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE OTHER THAN TO DRIVE VEHICLE INTO A HEATED GARAGE TO ALLOW ICE/SNOW BUILDUP TO MELT OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE TRAVELING 15-20 MILES IN SNOW CONDITIONS AND THE WHEEL WELL IS FULL OF SNOW AND THE TIRES ARE MAKING CONTACT WITH THIS SNOW WHICH WILL AFFECT THE TIRES AS WELL. NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN SHARPLY LEFT AND RIGHT IS DANGEROUS NOT ALLOWING DRIVER TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION NEED BE. TIRES APPEAR TO BE DANGEROUS IN COLD TEMPERATURES BECAUSE AFTER THEY WARM UP, THEY OPERATE OKAY. HOWEVER WHEN COLD, THE SLIP AND SLIDE BEHAVING LIKE YOU ARE ON ICY ROADS EVEN THOUGH ROAD IS DRY. TOOK TO DEALER TODAY.ADDITIONAL PICTURES AND THE INVOICE FROM DEALERSHIP AVAILABLE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT FAILED TO WORK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED. HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE (25 E MAIN ST, NEW ROCHELLE, NY 10801, (888) 905-3762) SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT "TRICK" THE VEHICLE BY PUTTING ON HER SEAT BELT AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. THE HEAT STARTED TO WORK; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED BACK ONE MONTH LATER AND STATED THAT THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE REPORTS THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED HER STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND RESEARCHED THE LEMON LAWS. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT SHE DID NOT WANT THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER BY LETTER THAT SHE WANTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DEALER'S GENERAL MANAGER INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER'S LOT. THE GENERAL MANAGER THREATENED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE PLACED BY THE ROAD WHERE IT WOULD GET TICKETED. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE PLATES AND LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 818.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY). AFTER THE SOFTWARE WAS REPROGRAMMED, THERE WAS A FIVE SECOND DELAY IN WHICH THE BACK UP CAMERA REBOOTED AND THE SYSTEM DISPLAY WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. HERITAGE HONDA OF BEL AIR (LOCATED AT 1800 BELAIR RD, FALLSTON, MD 21047, (410) 343-5644) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.
LEASED 2018 HONDA ACCORD IN OCTOBER, 25 MILES LATER HAD CHECKED ENGINE LIGHT ON,TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER,EMISSION HOSE WASN'T ATTACHED PROPERLY. AFTER 900 MILES THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WENT OUT ( I DID NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES) TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER ONE THE ROD WASN'T SET RIGHT, NOW IT'S JANUARY 2019 AND HAVE 4000 MILES YESTERDAY THE CAR STARTED TO SUPPORTER AND ALL THE WARNING STARTED FLASHING AUTO HIGH BEAM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, COLLISION MITIGATION, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION....ALL THIS SING SAID SEE YOUR DEALER..GUESS WHAT I CALLED THE DEALER FIRST THING THIS MORNING..TODAY IS JANUARY 24 2019 STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY IS TOTALLY USELESS... I HAD 2002 HONDA ACCORD WITH 310,000 MILES AND NO TECHNOLOGY
THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM SOMETIMES AUTOMATICALLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAYS SPEED WHEN THERE IS NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, NEARLY CAUSING COLLISIONS WITH VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND ME.
WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION, LOUD BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE VIEW MIRROR. HIGHWAY AND GENERAL DRIVING IN TOWN AND SECONDARY ROADS.
LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH ON THE LEFT SIDE IN THE DRIVER'S AREA. SEEMS TO OCCUR AT ALL SPEEDS, REGARDLESS OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. IN DECEMBER 2018 I WAS INFORMED BY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT HONDA WORKING ON A "FIX" BUT I HAVE SEEN NOTHING YET ABOUT A TSB OR RECALL. NOTICED NOISE NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE IN FEB 2018. ANNOYING FOR A NEW CAR TO BE NOISY.
STEERING SYSTEM "STICKS" AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT REQUIRES SOME FORCE TO CORRECT FOR THIS WHICH CAN CAUSE AN OVER-CORRECTION IN STEERING AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT. FOUND THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FROM THE 'ACCORDXCLUB.COM" AUTO CLUB: "THE DEALER HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND BROUGHT IN HONDA'S FIELD ENGINEER SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND CASE OF THIS STEERING ISSUE THEY HAD SEEN RECENTLY. THE TECH'S NOTES ON MY INVOICE STATE "STEERING GEAR BOX BINDING / REPLACED GEAR BOX". IT WAS A SINGLE PART REPLACEMENT -- 53620-TWA-A28. AT $2,100 FOR THE PART, NOT INCLUDING LABOR, I PITY ANYONE THAT ENDS UP WITH THIS PROBLEM OUT OF WARRANTY! " SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.
I GOT MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT ON NOVEMBER 30 2018 WITH 8 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT IN THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE DASH WAS NOT REACHING 'ENGINE TEMPERATURE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE, COMPLAINING OF NO HEAT WHILE IDLING. I WAS TOLD TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE WITH MY SEATBELTS AND BRAKES ON TO TRICK IT' THAT SEEMED TO WORK. A WEEK LATER IT STARTED TO GET TO ENGINE TEMPERATURE WHILE IDLING WITHOUT TRICKING IT. A WEEK LATER WHILE IDLING THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF NEVER TO START AGAIN. THE VALVES WERE DAMAGED. HONDA REPLACED THE ENGINE THAT ONLY HAD 800 MILES. NOW THEY WANT TO GIVE ME BACK THE CAR WHEN I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING INHERENTLY DEFECTIVE WITH THE ENGINE DESIGN.
IN THE STATES WHERE IT SNOWS, THE CAR COLLECTS LARGE AMOUNTS OF SNOW ON THE FRONT, AND KNOCKS OUT THE RADAR SYSTEM FOR THE LANE DEPARTURE DETECTION SYSTEM, WITCH ALSO IS FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM, THAT HELPS WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND ANY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. I AM NOT SURE IF IT ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE IN THE SNOW IS NOT A TIME TO USE IT.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE FOLLOWING WARNING INDICATOR APPEARED, "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER." THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME AND THE BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED. THIS DID GO OUT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER BUT THEY WOULD NOT HELP SINCE THE WARNING MESSAGE WENT OFF. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AS I AM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO ADDRESS OR CORRECT IT.
OIL IS SEEPING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I DO NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THIS COMPONENT. INITIALLY AND SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR NOVEMBER 2018, THERE WAS THE SMELL OF OIL/GAS AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR. I DO NOT NOTICE IT NOW. I CHECK THE DIPSTICK OIL LEVEL ROUTINELY AND HAD TWO DEALERSHIPS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL; ONE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE OIL. HOWEVER, THE CURRENT OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK INDICATES THAT IT IS OVER-FULL AND THERE IS A SLIGHT SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK. THE OIL SEEMS VERY THIN (NOT VISCOUS) AND RUNS QUICKLY OFF OF THE DIPSTICK.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL IT WILL DISENGAGE AND THIS ERROR WILL SHOW UP ALSO BRAKING LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WITH NOTHING AROUND OR NEAR THE SENSORS.
TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING GOING GROCERY SHOPPING WHEN I NOTICED MY VEHICLES STABILITY CONTROL BEGAN TO ACTIVATE AT RANDOM TIMES AND NO RAIN/SNOW WAS PRESENT ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE IGNITION OF AND ON TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT ONLY NOTICE THE SAME THING WAS REPEATEDLY HAPPING.
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A ONE LANE ROAD WITH NO ONE ELSE AROUND MY SUNROOF/ MOON ROOF EXPLODED/SHATTERED. ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS (HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CAR-SAFETY/EXPLODING-SUNROOFS-DANGER-OVERHEAD) - THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN HONDA ACCORDS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE GLASS COULD HAVE SHATTERED ON ITS OWN AND SAYS THAT ITS DUE TO AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE AND WILL NOT COVER THE CAR UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED SEP 18,2018. I HAD TO PAY OVER $1,375.19 FOR REPAIR.
ENGINE OIL SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. THIS IS THE SAME 1.5L TURBO GDI ENGINE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ALREADY IN THE CIVIC AND CRV.
THE CAR HAS A SENSOR FOR BREAKING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE CAR BREAKING SYSTEM COMES ON MAKING THE VEHICLE COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. DURING SEVERAL OF THESE DANGEROUS BREAKING EVENTS NO VEHICLES OR OBJECTS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN RARE ENDED BECAUSE OF THE BREAKING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT EVEN S SHADOW FROM A TREE CAN TRIGGER THE SENSOR TO MAKE THE BREAKING SYSTEM TURN ON MAKING THE CAR COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THIS FEATURE COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF IT RESETS ONCE YOU TURN THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED.
MY CAR HAS CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM BOTH SIDES ON THE WIPER BLADES TRAILS. IT HAS NOT BEEN HIT BY A ROCK. I NOTICED IT ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN I WAS USING THE WIPERS ON RAINY DAYS. I WAS TOLD BY THE GLASS REPAIR SHOPS THAT IT WAS CAUSED DUE TO THE HEATED WIPERS WHILE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN TO WORK THE CRACKS APPEARED TO TRAVEL LONGER ON THE WINDSHIELD.
THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED TWICE ON MY MONTH OLD 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THIS FAILS, THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO DEACTIVATED. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE.
COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM FAILED, WORKS FINE AFTER RESTART. ISSUE OCCURS EVERY 70 MILES AND REQUIRES A RESTART TO FIX.
THE SENSOR FOR THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM IS LOCATED WHERE IT IS VERY VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE AND IT STOPS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHEN IT COLLECTS EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SNOW. OTHER VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE SENSORS ANYWHERE NEAR THIS VULNERABLE. THIS SYSTEM IS PROMOTED AS ADDING TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN AND LOCATION ON THE 2018/2019 ACCORD IT IS VERY VULNERABLE TO FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO BASICALLY SAID THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SENSOR. I THINK THEY WILL IN TIME. THIS SENSOR WAS DAMAGED ON MY NEW ACCORD WHILE DRIVING DOWN AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN ARKANSAS AFTER OWNING THE CAR TWO WEEKS AND A DAY. SINCE IT IS DAMAGE, THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE COST TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THIS SENSOR.
AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF MY ACCORD ON DEC 7, 2018 I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WEREN'T ON EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER DOOR WAS OPEN. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD JUST TURNED THE SWITCH OFF. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I MADE SURE THE DOOR SWITCH WAS IN THE "DOOR" POSITION AND THE REAR LIGHT SWITCH WAS IN THE MIDDLE. THE OVERHEAD LIGHT, REAR LIGHTS STILL WOULD NOT COME ON AFTER OPENING THE DOOR. THERE WAS ALSO NO VANITY MIRROR OR TRUNK LIGHTS. A FEW DAYS LATER THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS BEGAN COMING ON BY THEMSELVES AND FADE OUT AFTER 15 SECONDS. IT DID IT WHILE THE DOORS WERE OPEN OR CLOSED AND SOMETIMES WHILE STARTING THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON DEC 13 AND THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE ON SOME KIND OF TIMER. REALLY? IT APPLIED POWER TO THE LIGHTS AT A SET INTERVAL. FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE INTERVAL THE LIGHTS WORKED PERFECTLY, THEN SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT INTERVAL. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED A NEW LIGHTING MODULE. THE MODULE WAS INSTALLED ON DEC 20 AND THE LIGHTS DID THE SAME THING. THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BATTERY, WIRING, FUSES, BULBS, OR LIGHT MODULE. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S CONTROLLING THE TIMING. THE LIGHTS SHOULDN'T BE ON ANY TIMER. THE ENGINEERS AT AMERICAN HONDA WERE STUMPED. I NOW HAVE TO BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK SO THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP CAN TALK WITH THE ENGINEERS IN JAPAN THAT DESIGNED THE CAR. ON THE SURFACE THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE PROBLEM BUT IN ACTUALITY IT'S INCREDIBLY COMPLEX. LIKE HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR COMPUTER. THERE ARE 2 MORE TIMES TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT CAN BE CALLED A LEMON. OTHER THAN THE ODD LIGHTING PROBLEM MY CAR HAS PERFORMED PERFECTLY.
RATTLING / VIBRATION COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE DASH AREA WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP, AND IS AN INDICATION OF A LOOSE PIECE THAT COULD BECOME DETACHED AND CAUSE INJURY.
UPON COMPLETION OF THE DRIVING THE CAR, I WILL PUT THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE. AFTER 10-20 MINUTES HAS PASSED, I WALK OUT TO THE GARAGE AND THE WHOLE GARAGE SMELLS LIKE UNBURNT FUEL. ON OCCASION IF THE TIME BETWEEN DRIVES IS SHORT, THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE CAR WILL ALSO SMELL LIKE FUEL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES SO FAR, WITH NO LUCK HELPING. TODAY WILL BE THE 5TH TIME IN THE FIRST 20000 MILES. I PUT IT AS LAST WEEK BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MADE ME SEND IT BACK TO DEALER YET AGAIN, BUT THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR MONTHS.
MY WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A STRESS CRACK ON THE LOWER MID DRIVER SIDE THAT STARTED AT THE PILLAR AND SPREAD TO THE CENTER. TOOK TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS AND ALL STATED IT WAS A STRESS CRACK. OTHER ACCORDS OF THE SAME YEAR ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.
INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WHICH ALSO DISPLAYS REAR VIEW CAMERA RANDOMLY RESTARTS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACKUP AND BRAKE SENSOR ALERTS FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOSS BROS HONDA (LOCATED AT 27990 EUCALYPTUS AVE, MORENO VALLEY, CA 92555, (951) 486-9366) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND BUMPER SENSORS FAILED AND NEEDED SENSORS. THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,488.
OIL HAS GAS IN IT ,DEALER SAYS THEIR IS NO FIX AFRAID TO DRIVE AFRAID ENGINE WILL BLOW UP.HAD OIL CHANGED AT 1900 MILES 100 MILES LATER GAS INOIL AGAIN
THE SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION IS VIOLENT AND FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY IN COLDER TEMPERATURES THIS HAPPENS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR A ROLLING STOP.
WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 25 MILES IN A DAY MY STEERING WHEEL WILL STIFFEN UP AND THEN IT WILL RELEASE WITH A JERKING LIKE MOTION ( ALMOST SIMILAR TO A RACK AND PINION ISSUE IN AN OLDER VEHICLE). IT PROGRESSES THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE THE TRIP. HONDA HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS AND SAID IT'S THE WAY THE SUSPENSION IS SET UP, HOWEVER IT SHOULDN'T BE STIFFENING UP AND JERKING AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. HONDA IS CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION OF THE ACCORD TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 17 DAYS AS OF THIS POSTING. WITH ALL THAT SAID, I KEEP ALL THE DRIVING SUPPORT FEATURES DISABLED. THIS STEERING ISSUE HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS DURING THE TIME OF MAINTAINING A CERTAIN SPEED FROM 25+ MPH. IT'S QUITE SCARY TO DRIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE 2ND ISSUE I'VE REPOSTED SINCE PURCHASING THE ACCORD IS I ALSO HAVE TO KEEP THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM TURNED OFF WHEN AS SOON AS I REMEMBER TO DISABLE IT AFTER EACH STARTUP AS I'VE HAD SUDDEN STOPS BY THE CAR AT A NEARBY RAILROAD TRACK AND A HIGHWAY SIGN THAT GOES ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TEXAS WHICH I WAS GOING 45MPH. DUE TO THE FACT IT THINKS THERE'S SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME AND STOPS THE CAR. I'VE HAD WHIPLASH TWICE FROM THE CMBS SYSTEM ALERTING THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE HAULT. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS BEHIND AT THE TIMES OF THESE INCIDENTS, BUT ONE DAY I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.
RE: NHTSA RECALL 18V-629 DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE DISPLAY AUDIO UNIT, AS REQUIRED BY THE RECALL. THE REPROGRAMMING FAILED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, IN FACT, IT MADE IT WORSE.. THE DISPLAY NOW STARTS AND REBOOTS AT RANDOM WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN, INCLUDING WHEN IT IS IN REVERSE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS OWN 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
LAST SERVICE CHECK, APPROX 1 WEEK, SHOWED BATTERY PARTIALLY DISCHARGED (MARKED AS "FAILED" AND "REPLACE" ON THE SERVICE REPORT. NO APPARENT REASON. TODAY, AFTER A RAINY DAY AND NOT USING THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE, FOUND THE CAR LOCKED AS ALWAYS BUT ALL FOUR WINDOWS WERE DOWN. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. THE FIRST TIME WAS 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN A NEIGHBOR CALLED TO TELL ME THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN. THE CAR WAS LOCKED THEN AS WELL, IT WAS ALSO AFTER A RAINY DAY. IN BOTH OCCURRENCES, THERE WAS NO WATER IN THE VEHICLE OR ON THE SEATS.
AS I WAS PULLING OUT THE GARAGE FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HEADING TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY TO SAN FRANCISCO THE MILES PER HOUR IS 30 ENTERING AND THEN 65 MPH WHEN YOU GET ON HIGHWAY. THE DASH BOARD INDICATES THE WRONG MILES FOR SPEED IT SAID 100 MPH. IT STAYED LIKE THAT FOR MORE THAN 5 MINS. I ALREADY HAD A PREVIOUS SITUATION WITH THIS VEHICLE WHERE THE BRAKING SYSTEMS ENGAGED AS I WAS ON HIGHWAY IN 05/13/2018, AND ALMOST CAUSED MY LIFE AND OTHERS BEHIND ME, THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE FROM BEING REAR ENDED AND OVER 18K WORTH OF DAMAGE BUT HONDA DEALER KEEP SAYING NOTHING WAS FOUND FAULTY! I HAD THEM TURN 'OFF' ALL SAFETY MODES CAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS COMING BACK 'ON'. IT YANKED ME SEVERAL TIMES WHEN NO OTHER CAR IS AROUND ME. THE BRAKING LIGHT APPEARED SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY SINCE I GOT IT BACK, AND IT'S LIKE THEY DON'T BELIEVE YOU. NOW AFTER ALL THIS I'M STUCK WITH A FAULTY CAR I'M REALLY THINKING ABOUT GETTING A LAWYER ON THIS. AND MY SPEAKERS SEEM NOT TO BE RIGHT EITHER THE SOUNDING IS VERY LOW COMPARED TO WHEN I GOT IT. ONLY 2000 MILES AND THIS CAR BEEN A PAIN . PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY! AND DID I MENTION THAT MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T WORK FROM FIRST INCIDENT I REPORTED. AFTER CAR WAS CRUSHED IN FROM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND . NOPE THEY FAILED TOO.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL(ACC) STOPS WORKING WITH ERROR "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER."I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 60MPH WITH ACC ON AND SUDDENLY THE ERROR POPS OUT. ERROR GOES WAY WHEN YOU RESTART THE CAR. BUT REPEATS AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. YOU CANNOT USE ACC AGAIN UNTIL YOU RESTART THE CAR.
TWO SEPARATE ISSUES: 1) WITH ONLY 2,400 MILES ON THE ACCORD, ON OCTOBER 7, 2018 IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER 2 OR 3 TIMES OVER A 60-MILE STRETCH OF THE BUSY 405 FREEWAY, EACH TIME SLOWING FROM 65 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH OR LESS DESPITE MAINTAINING EVEN PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. NO CRUISE CONTROL WAS USED AT ANY TIME. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. 2) ON NOVEMBER 30, 2018, I ATTEMPTED TO RESUME MOTION AFTER STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT. THE ACCORD'S GAS PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 6 SECONDS, THEN SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD. THIS ALSO COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND OFF .DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH REMOTE OR MANUAL. ONLY DRIVER'S DOOR WITH THE REMOTE. ALSO AUTO LOCK/UNLOCK DIDN'T WORK IN PARK AND DRIVE. STARTED THE CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED WARNINGS OF: LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER., ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. AUTO HIGH BEAM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A HALF HOUR. DOORS UNLOCKED WITH REMOTE WITH NO PROBLEM. STARTED CAR AND ALL WAS BACK TO NORMAL. TOOK THE CAR TO MY HONDA DEALER TO ADVISE THEM OF THIS ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH NO EXPLANATION OF WHY OR REMEDY. MY HONDA DEALER HAD NOT HAD ANYONE ELSE COME IN WITH MY CARS ISSUE AS OF TODAY 11/30/2018. HONDA DEALER CHECKED MY BATTERY AND IT IS PERFECT, 12.3 VOLTS, MEASURED:640CCA, RATED: 550CCA. MY CAR HAS ONLY 6,388 MILES, PURCHASED 5/23/2018. PRETTY SCARY AND NOT HAPPY THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH A NEW CAR.
I LIVE IN ROCHESTER NY AND EVEN WITH VERY LIGHT SNOW THAT IS NOT EVEN COLLECTING ON THE ROADWAY I GET AN URGENT NOTIFICATION THAT CRASH AVOIDANCE AND ANY RADAR BASED SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE COMPROMISED AND NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS DUE TO THE RADAR UNIT BEING INTERFERED WITH SNOW COLLECTION AS IT IS IN THE SHAPE OF A SQUARE CUP AND IT COLLECTS SNOW LIKE A SCOOP. THERE IS NO HEATING ELEMENT ON THE UNIT AT ALL TO KEEP IT CLEAR OF SNOW AND IT'S LOCATION IS SUCH THAT IT IS RENDERED TOTALLY USELESS IN ANY SNOW WHAT SO EVER. BMW, MERCEDES AND AUDI ALL EITHER HAVE HIDDEN THEIR UNITS BEHIND ITEMS THAT ARE HEATED FOR NORTHERN CLIMATES OR THE RADAR UNIT ITSELF IS GENTLY HEATED BELOW A PARTICULAR TEMPERATURE TO AVOID LOOSING ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE IN A MODERN CAR AND I WOULD ASK NHTSA TO LOOK INTO WITH HONDA RECALLING ALL NORTHERN CARS TO CHANGE THE RADAR UNIT TO A HEATED VERSION OR TO RELOCATE IT BEHIND AN EMBLEM OR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T COLLECT SNOW LIKE A SCOOP. IT IS A VERY POOR DESIGN AND IMPACTS ALL DISTANCE AND CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS PRESENT ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2.0 TOURING EDITION WITH EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION SO IT IS NOT FOR A LACK OF SPENDING MONEY FOR SAFETY THAT'S FOR SURE. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND ARE TELLING PEOPLE IT'S MADE THAT WAY AND FRANKLY THE SENSOR SHOULD BE HEATED IN NORTHERN CLIMATES. NICE!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BLACKED OUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZIMBRICK HONDA (LOCATED AT 1601 W BELTLINE HWY, MADISON, WI 53713, (608) 273-2555) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
NEW HONDA ACCORD 2.0T WITH 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH AND SLOW FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON HONDA ACCORD OWNER FORUMS AND ACURA RDX OWNER FORUMS (THE TWO VEHICLES SHARE THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION). THE VEHICLE NORMALLY SHIFTS HARD FROM 2ND TO 3RD, BUT OCCASIONALLY IT IS VERY SLOW TO ENGAGED 3RD GEAR AND THEN SLAMS INTO GEAR. IT'S VERY STRANGE HOW IT FEELS. IT CAN CAUSE THERE TO BE A HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND FEELS LIKE IT'S DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH WHO ADVISED THERE'S NO TSB OR CAMPAIGN FROM HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THERE IS HOWEVER A VIDEO THAT ACURA HAS POSTED FOR THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIANS ADVISING THEM TO FOLLOW A "CLUTCH BREAK IN PROCEDURE" TO RESOLVE THE ROUGH SHIFTING.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON 11/21/2018 AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD SOUND. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "WHAT WAS THAT?" I LOOKED UP AND SAW MY SUNROOF SHATTERED AND BROKEN PIECES OF GLASS IN MY PASSENGER'S SEAT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS INCIDENT. I DID NOT SEE ANY FLYING OBJECTS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STRANGEST THING. I PULLED THE SUNROOF SHADE TO CLOSE-OUT THE NOISE AND DROVE HOME. I'M TRYING TO RATIONALIZE THIS EVENT AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO MAKE SENSE OF IT. I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. I PURCHASED MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD ALMOST 7 MONTHS AGO AND I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE FACTORY DEFECT, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROVE IT. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM, BUT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $500 DEDUCTIBLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND BEING SERVICED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND STATED THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED AND IT WAS UNKNOWN IF IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY STARTED THE CLAIM PROCESS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT VIN AVAILABLE *JB
WHILE IN MOTION IN REVERSE MY CAMERA DID NOT WORK PROPERLY AND I STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TURNING SLIGHTLY.
FAULTY BACKUP CAMERA. WHILE BACKING UP HIT A CAR AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSABILITY.
FUEL DILUTION IN MOTOR OIL. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, CHECKED DIPSTICK, OIL LEVEL IS UP PAST THE UPPER LINE AND SMELLS OF GAS. SENT A SAMPLE OF MOTOR OIL FOR TESTING AND CAME BACK HIGH FOR FUEL % IN OIL. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 1700 MILES! THE CAR IS DRIVEN AN AVERAGE OF 40 MILES A DAY, SO SHORT TRIPS IS NOT A FACTOR. CHANGED OIL USING HONDA FILTER AND MOBIL 1 0W-20 TO SPEC, AND AFTER 500 MILES, OIL LEVEL IS UP AND SMELLS OF GAS AGAIN. ATTACHED IS THE USED OIL ANALYSIS AT 1700 MILES.
STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES AND SHAKES AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY. CAR PULLS OUT OF LANE W/O DRIVER DOING ANYTHING. DRIVER ASSISTANCE NOTICE APPEARS ON SCREEN. 'LANE DEPARTURE' 'STEERING REQUIRED' IS THE MESSAGE. OCCURS W/O WARNING SOMETIMES 10 TIMES WITHIN 15 MINUTES, OTHER TIMES LESS OFTEN. UNPREDICTABILITY LEAVES DRIVER TENSE! WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC HONDA ISSUED WARNING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM : JA02922. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE ONLINE. MECHANIC SAID DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO TEST DRIVE AND DO A FORCE OR PHASE MATCHING. IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE? DO FACTORY TIRES NEED REPLACEMENT? WE HAVE 5000 MILES ON IT AND ARE DRIVING ACROSS COUNTRY TO MOVE FROM AL TO CO...VERY STRESSFUL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND DECELERATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HUGHES HONDA (2250 MOODY ROAD, WARNER ROBINS, GEORGIA 31088, (478) 449-3939) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY. THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONED IN GERMANY AND REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION, VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.
SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JULY AND ESPECIALLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST TWO MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN EXHIBITING ERRORS WITH THE CPU (HONDA SENSING) SYSTEM ON BOARD. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SEEMS TO EXHIBIT ISSUES WHICH I HAVE TAKEN UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS WHERE IT APPEARS TO SHIFT HARD UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION AND EVEN UNDER PASSING POWER. ALSO, UPON ACCELERATING, THE CAR WILL SEEM TO BOG DOWN LIKE IT HAS A AIR INTAKE ISSUE(SENSATION FEELING) IT DOES IT FROM STOP AND GO AT TIMES AND ALSO WHEN AT SPEED. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN IT RAINS IT SEEMS TO BE EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED AS WELL. THE OTHER ISSUE HAS BEEN THE HONDA SENSING. AS OF LATE I HAVE FOUND MYSELF TURNING OFF CERTAIN "SAFETY" FEATURES OUT OF FEAR OF THEM MALFUNCTIONING AFTER TWO FREAK INCIDENTS. TWICE WHEN AT SPEEDS ON THE HWY, THE EMERGENCY MITIGATING BRAKE HAS ENGAGED WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND OR IN FRONT ME, BASICALLY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ANOTHER TIME THE STEERING HAS TRIED TO YANK ME INTO ANOTHER LANE THINKING I HAVE GONE OFF THE ROAD, THE ROAD MITIGATION SYSTEM. THESE ISSUES COULD HAVE PROVEN VERY DANGEROUS IN BOTH SITUATIONS IF VEHICLES WERE NEXT TO ME OR BEHIND ME AND THESE ISSUES WITH A BRAND NEW CAR ARE NOT MAKING ME FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. ALSO, ANOTHER NEW ITEM WHICH I HAVE CAUGHT ON CAMERA IS THE RADIO HEAD UNIT HAS NOW BEGAN TO SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY DURING NORMAL OPERATION FOR NO APPARENT REASON OR CAUSE. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL ON THE BACK UP CAMERA COMPLETED ALREADY. BUT THESE ERRORS STILL CONTINUE. THE CAR IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THURSDAY, 11/7/2018 TO GET THESE LOOKED INTO, BUT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE CAR HAS HAD TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASE IN JULY FOR NON REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I AM GOING TO ONLY DEAL WITH THIS A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE I HIRE A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR CAMERA SYSTEM FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CONTACT CALLED HONDA OF COVINGTON (100 HOLIDAY SQUARE BLVD, COVINGTON, LA 70433, 1-877-892-0042) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER THE RECALL. THE CONTACT EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER THAT THE REMEDY OF REPROGRAMMING THE DISPLAY AUDIO UNIT SOFTWARE FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED VIA MAIL OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V629000 (VISIBILITY: REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES); HOWEVER, HE RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION VIA THE MANUFACTURER'S APP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AGAIN BY THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.
CPSC: PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD, APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING IT, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID SOMETHING MUST HAVE IMPACTED THE DOOR(THOUGH THERE WERE NO MARKS OR DENTS OF ANY KIND). *DT *JS
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 75 MILES AN HOUR AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED. NO CARS AROUND. HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE (ESPECIALLY TRACTOR TRAILER) THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS COLLISION. I DO NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. DEALER SAYS ITS NOT A WARRANTY PROBLEM. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS
I GOT THE RECALL LETTER REGARDING SAFETY RECALL FOR REPROGRAMMING OF REARVIEW IMAGE FOR FREE. I WENT TO TENAFLY HONDA DEALER IN NJ WITH A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO SEE THE MANAGER BEFORE RECALL CHECK UP. FOR 20 MINUTES LATER, HE SAID MY CAR IS NOT FOR THE RECALL. THERE AS RE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS ARE THE SAME SITUATIONS LIKE ME. HE PRINTED OUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS THAT. I HAVE A RECALL LETTER BUT THEY ARE SAYING THAT MY CAR IS NOT RECALL. WHEN I COME TO SEE NHTSA WEBSITE TO CHECK MY VINYL NUMBER, IT SHOWS 0 BUT SHOWS 11.3.2018 UPDATED INFORMATION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS IF THEY JUST UPDATED THE SYSTEM WITHOUT REALLY CHECKING THE CAR AT ALL. WHAT DID THEY UPDATE THE SYSTEM WHILE REFUSING MY RECALL SERVICE? I SAW OTHERS HAD THE SAME SITUATION. THEY TURNED THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM RECALL SERVICE WHILE THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS. I HOPE THEY DON'T FRAUD ON PEOPLE' RECALLS ON CARS. THIS IS RELATED TO THE PERSON'S LIFE AND SAFELY. MY CAR IS FINE BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE ON MY RECALL STATUS. DEALER NEVER CHECKED MY CAR AT ALL REGARDING RECALL.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD IN MY TOWN AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME AND I DID NOT LANE DEPARTURE AT ALL AND THE CAR SUDDENLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ALMOST FOR NO REASON THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME. THIS ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS COMING UP FAST LUCKILY THEY NOTICED MY CAR BRAKING AND GOT OVER. SOMETIMES MY COMPUTER SYSTEM SHUTS OFF AND MY RADIO AND MY WHOLE DASH IF FROZEN I CAN'T DO THE TOUCHSCEEEN OR ANY OF THE SIDE BUTTONS AS NONE OF IT WILL WORK THEY ONLY WAY FOR IT WORK IS TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE BACKUP CAMERA ALSO TAKES A WHILE TO GO ON I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND THE SCREEN IS BLACK AND I PUT IT IN PARK AND REVERSE AGAIN AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF CONCORD (LOCATED AT 7650 BRUTON SMITH BLVD, CONCORD, NC 28027, (704) 774-4538) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.
STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE ENGINE AND RISING OIL LEVEL. CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 200 MILES ON IT! THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD EXPECTED FROM A HONDA.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING TOOK CAR FROM 60 TO 0 ON HIGHWAY (ROUTE 65N IN NASHVILLE). LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME (IT WAS 6AM) OR I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR CONTROL THE CAR AT THIS POINT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST MONTH. THIS TURNS A TOUTED SAFETY FEATURE INTO A HAZARDOUS FEATURE. PLANNING ON A DEALER VISIT THIS FRIDAY
'TAKATA RECALL' MY TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN BY KEY FOB OR BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ALONG SIDE THE DRIVER DOOR. I HAVE TO MANUALLY USE MY KEY INSIDE THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT WHERE THERE'S AN KEY LOCK AREA TO OPEN THE TRUNK.
THE SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, IS SO UNSAFELY VIOLENT THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REAR ENDED. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHILE ACCELERATING AT A MILD PACE AND WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS YET TO WARM UP. THE CONDITION IS PRESENT IN BOTH ECON AND NORMAL DRIVE MODES. THE CONDITION HAS NOT BEEN EXPERIENCED IN SPORT MODE. THE CONDITION OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE COLLISION MITIGATION AND BRAKING SYSTEM WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF AND DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL. DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG, CLAIM THE SENSORS ARE OVERLOADED. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON BRIGHT SUNNY DAYS, CLOUDY DAYS AND AT NIGHT. SENSOR ON FRONT OF CAR IS CLEAN; NO BUGS, SMEARS OR LIQUIDS. WILL RESET WITH A STOP/START OF THE ENGINE. CODE CHECK REVEALED. UO401-53 TEMPORARY STOP OF INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM -- RECEIVED STOP REQUEST BY PGM-FI SYSTEM. ERROR CODE 401-93 TEMPORARY STOP OF INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM -- RECEIVED STOP REQUEST BY PGM-FI SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON AND MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 12 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS, MOST RECENT WAS TODAY.
5 BRAKING ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 4 HOURS: ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST SYSTEM PROBLEM. ALL ERRORS DIRECTED ME TO "SEE YOUR DEALER". THE VEHICLE OPERATED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO THIS. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR OR EVEN LOCK IT AFTER THESE ERRORS APPEARED. THE BATTERY WAS ALSO DRAINED BECAUSE THESE MESSAGES KEPT APPEARING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE PRESSED THE FUEL TANK DOOR, IT FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200.
HEAVY RAIN STARTED TO FALL WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH CAUSING ME TO BECOME BLINDED AND NO ABILITY TO SEE WHILE HUGE TRUCKS SOON PASS STRAIGHT ME CAUSING MORE WATER TO LAND ON THE WINDSHIELD.
DRIVING MY NEW 2018 ACCORD EX-L 2.0 IN THE LEFT LANE ON I65 GOING SOUTH TOWARD LAFAYETTE IN ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 5. THERE WERE TWO SOUTHBOUND LANES. CONDITIONS WERE WET BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING HARD AT THE TIME. HAD ACC AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES ON. WAS PASSING A SEMI (THAT WAS GOING ABOUT 70-71 MPH) AT ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN A CAR CAME UP BEHIND ME GOING MUCH FASTER THAN ME. I ACCELERATED TO MOVE IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE SMALL YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED. I MANEUVERED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER GOING ABOUT 50. HAD TO KEEP THE ENGINE REVVED AT 3000 RPM AND STILL WAS STEADILY LOSING SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER. EVENTUALLY PULLED OFF AT THE FIRST EXIT AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES ON THE SHOULDER AND WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AT THE TIME. TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND STARTED IT UP. IT DROVE FINE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF. I HAD MY WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR. WE EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A BUSY TWO-LANE INTERSTATE WITH MANY SEMIS. DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES TO CHECK FROM THE CEL AND THAT ALL HOSES, ETC ARE CONNECTED AND THAT THE CAR IS FINE. IT WASN'T FINE WHEN IT LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. I SUSPECT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL PUMP.
MY BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD 2.0T W/ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES. IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY SOMETIMES, I NOTICE THE PROBLEM MOST WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, HOWEVER IT STILL HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN ENGINE IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES. I UNDERSTAND THAT ITS A FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION VEHICLE AND A NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION BUT HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH UNDER 700.00 MILES IS EXCUSABLE. THE PROBLEM DID NOT SUDDENLY START, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM SOON AFTER DRIVING OFF THE DEALER LOT FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND LET ME BE CLEAR, I UNDERSTAND WHAT "BREAK IN PERIODS" ARE FOR CARS AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AGGRESSIVELY AT ALL YET, THE VERY ROUGH SHIFTS HAPPEN AT JUST NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING.
FRONT DRIVER SIDE RIM HAS A CHIP. REAR PASSENGER DOOR MISS ALIGNED REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR RUBBER IS COMING OFF REAR DRIVER PANEL HAS PAINT DEFECTS
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2018, I WAS TRAVELING ON U.S. HIGHWAY 19 AND A VEHICLE TURNED OFF ABOUT A HALF MILE AHEAD OF ME WHILE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY CLEARED THE ROAD AND MY CAR SLAMMED ON BRAKES CAUSING EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE TO BE THROWN INTO THE FLOORBOARD. HAD THERE BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME, THE CAR WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED MY VEHICLE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE WHERE THE SENSOR RECOGNIZES SOMETHING IN THE ROAD THAT IS NOT THERE OR A VEHICLE THAT HAS ALREADY CLEARED THE ROAD AND SLAMS ON BRAKES. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS DAMAGING ON THE BRAKES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THIS SYSTEM ENGAGED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL SLAM ON BRAKES CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO REAR-END ME.
I HAD AN EVENT WITH MY TURBO HOSE BEING LOOSE, DEALER TECH SAID MUST HAVE BEEN LOOSE COMING FROM THE FACTORY. HERE IS THE THREAD. MY SITUATION IS ILLUSTRATED WITH MY HANDLE, "MIKIWOLF". BASICALLY, LOST POWER IN MY VEHICLE AFTER 1850 MILES AND HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS BAD FUEL AND QUOTED ME $800 TO CLEAN THE FUEL TANK. TECH KEPT USING "ETHANOL" AND "WATER" INTERCHANGEABLY WHICH CONFUSED ME. A DAY LATER I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECH SAID IT WAS BAD GAS WITH JUST 5% ETHANOL, FUEL WAS TOO RICH CREATING THE PROBLEM FOR ME. EVEN AFTER I EXPRESSED THAT ETHANOL IS SIMPLY AN ADDITIVE, IT MEANT LITTLE TO THIS 20-SOMETHING KID. LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER I ASKED HIM TO TEST FOR WATER, HE WOUND UP DOING A VISUAL INSPECTION AND FOUND THE TURBO INLET PIPE WAS LOOSE, TIGHTENED IT, AND DID A TEST DRIVE - PROBLEM FIXED. THE TECH WENT ON TO SAY THAT HIS INTERNAL FORUM SHOWS THIS SITUATION HAPPENING MORE AND MORE WITH ACCORDS. HE THINKS THEY ARE COMING FROM THE FACTORY TOO LOOSE AND GOING FORWARD HE KNOWS WHAT TO LOOK FOR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP DID THE RIGHT THING TO WORK WITH ME AND RECONCILE THEIR FINDINGS WITH ME. PROBLEM IS, NOT EVERYONE IS AS TECHNICAL AS I AM AND OVERALL HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE A BUILD ISSUE TO RESOLVE AND BROADLY INVESTIGATE.
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ACC (ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) ENABLED AND LKAS (LANE KEEP ASSIST) ENABLED AND PASSING A CAR AND ANOTHER TIME AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK, THE CAR SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN 5 MPH. THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE CARS WERE BEHIND ME AND THEY ALL HAD TO REACT TO SLOW DOWN. T
PURCHASED ACCORD 8/25/2018, 103 MILES ON CAR AT TIME OF PURCHASE. DRIVING THAT SAME NIGHT AST AROUND 30MPH ON RESIDENTIAL 2 LANE ROAD. CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN. COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM ERROR CAME ON DASHBOARD. TOOK TO DEALER 8/27/2018. DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM AND TOLD US EVERYTHING OKAY. SEVEN DAYS LATER CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IDENTICAL TO 1ST INCIDENT. CMS ERROR CAME ON AGAIN IN ADDITION TO TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE MOTHER BOARD AND RESET THE CMS AS WELL. 9/16/2018 - TRAVELING ON 4 LANE HWY AT 50 MPH. CAR ACTIVATED BRAKES AGAIN AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION. DRIVER BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AND AVOID HITTING US. EACH INCIDENT THERE WAS NO DRIVERS AHEAD OF ME, NO ANIMALS/ITEMS CROSSING PATH. COMPLETELY RANDOM AND CANNOT WILLING REPLICATE. 9/18/2018 DEALER IS NOW COMING TO PICK THE CAR UP AND WORK WITH HONDA ENGINEERS TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. THIS A A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT WILL AT SOME POINT CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OPERATOR AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. HONDA MUST RECALL THIS FEATURE IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE IOWA ATTY GENERAL OFFICE TO REPORT ISSUE.
REVERSE CAMERA QUIT WORKING AND AUTO MATIC BREAKING BROS OUT ALPHA KNOWN WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL
WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE TRAFFIC SIGN IN THE DASHBOARD IN THE CAR SHOWED THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 100MPH WHEN IN FACT THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 25MPH AS I WAS AT A 4-WAY INTERSECTION .
1. CAR MULTIMEDIA UNIT (WITH A TOUCH-SCREEN) RANDOMLY FREEZES AND RESTARTS ITSELF. IT HAPPENED TO ME 9 TIMES ALREADY SINCE I BOUGHT A CAR IN JUNE 2018. IF YOU USE NAVIGATION SYSTEM OR NEED SCREEN FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES WHILE YOU DRIVING - YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE ALL THE CONTENT YOU HAD ON THE SCREEN BEFORE THE RESTART AND IT WILL DISTRACT YOU FROM THE DRIVING. AFTER RESTART SYSTEM IS VERY SLOW AND IT FORCES YOU TO ACCEPT LEGAL DECLAIMER WHILE YOU DRIVING! TWO TIMES IT JUST FROZE WITHOUT RESTART AND I HAD TO STOP THE CAR, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN, TO REMOVE THE PROBLEM. VERY ANNOYING AND ALSO NOT SAFE BECAUSE IT DISTRACTS YOU. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS BACKING UP USING REAR VIEW CAMERA, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, MAINLY WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHEN DEVICES ARE ATTACHED TO THE MULTIMEDIA UNIT AND WITHOUT ANY DEVICES BEING ATTACHED OR USED. IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND DAY TIME AND I DOUBT IT IS RELATED TO OVERHEATING. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING LONG DRIVE AS WELL AS 5-10 MINUTES AFTER THE ENGINE START. NO VISIBLE PATTERN HERE. OCEAN HONDA OF BURLINGAME DEALERSHIP IN BAY AREA IS NOT HELPFUL AND TOTALLY NOT PROFESSIONAL. BEEN THERE TWICE, NO LUCK. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE PROPERLY ALWAYS TRYING TO SEARCH FOR FAULT IN MY ACTIONS OR BLAME COMPATIBLE DEVICES ATTACHED TO CIGARETTE POWER SLOT. AMERICAN HONDA ADVISED ME TO VIDEO RECORD THIS ACTIVITY WHILE I'M DRIVING !!!! STILL NO RESOLUTION. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA 2. SENSORS ARE NOT PROPERLY SETUP BECAUSE IT "THINKS" THAT THERE'S A CAR AHEAD OF YOU IF SENSOR DETECT SHADOW ON A ROAD, ETC. CAR APPLIED BREAKS FEW TIMES WITHOUT A REASON. DIDN'T GO TO DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM YET.
COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE AT RANDOM TIMES EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND WOULD SLAM ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING SLOWLY AT AROUND 3 MILES PER HOURS IN A DRIVEWAY.
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS CARS COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM HAS APPLIED THE BRAKES WITHOUT ANY REASON AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM HONDA. I'VE SEEN SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2017 AND 2018 CRV DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING.
I HAVE GOTTEN THE WARNING ON MY DASH STATING "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE DEALER" SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK SINCE PUTTING ABOUT 1200 MILES ON THE CAR (FEB 2018). SINCE SEEING THIS WARNING MY CAR WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AT RANDOM (DURING HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING) AS IF IT DETECTED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BUT THERE WAS NO VEHICLE PRESENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE GOTTEN NO SOLUTION. I HAVE ALSO CALLED HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND STILL HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. THIS ISSUE COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS.
THE CAR RANDOMLY SLAMS ON BRAKES CAUSED BY THE HONDA SENSING COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS
AIRBAG SYSTEM NOT CONSISTENTLY ACTIVATED WITH SMALL ADULTS (5'4", 110 LB. AND 5'8", 115 LB.) PASSENGERS. HAVE FOLLOWED ALL TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS, I.E. NOTHING OBSTRUCTING SEAT, PASSENGER SITTING FULLY UPRIGHT, ETC. DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA STATE IT IS FUNCTIONING AS ENGINEERED EVEN THOUGH OWNER'S MANUAL STATES PLAINLY THAT IT SHOULD FUNCTION AT > 65 LBS AND ADULTS SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE SEAT IF THIS OCCURS. OCCURS INCONSISTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION AND PARKED.
THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON ERRONEOUSLY..WHILE DRIVING, LIGHT CAME ON. RAN THE RECALIBRATE FUNCTION FROM THE SYSTEM SCREEN - THIS TAKES ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES - CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE AND THEY'RE OK... 3435 PSI...
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULDN'T WORK WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN ON HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER, WENT TO SERVICE STATION, THEY HAD ME TURN CAR OFF AND CHECKED SOME FUSES. THEN WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ABOUT THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, BRAKING AND VARIOUS SAFETY FEATURES. THIS MORNING WHEN I STARTED CAR AND BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE WIPERS STARTED WORKING BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER THIS MORNING.
ON A HOT DAY WHILE SITTING STATIONARY IN MY CAR WITH AC RUNNING, I HEARD A 'POP' WITH A FIZZLE SOUND THEN SMOKE BEGAN TO RISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE DASH WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING [PUSH TO START], AND ALL LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ALL SENSORS BEGAN TO EMIT ERROR MESSAGES. I TURNED OFF AND EXITED VEHICLE, POPPED THE HOOD AND SMOKE WAS ALSO COMING UP FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2018, AND AT TIME OF INCIDENT HAD A LITTLE 6000 MILES. AFTER LETTING CAR SIT FOR A FEW HOURS IT STARTED UP, WITH ERROR MESSAGES ACROSS THE DISPLAY..I.E. TPMS, CHECK ENGINE, LKAS,ETC. I THEN HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST HONDA DEALER, AND THE SERVICE PEOPLE WERE UNSURE WHY A MODULE IN THE DASH BURNT OUT; SO THEY CONTACTED HONDA CORP. LONG STORY SHORT THEY PLACED BLAME THAT A CHARGER FOUND IN THE BOTTOM OF MY GLOVE BOX CAUSED IT, WHICH WAS NEVER USED IN MY CAR. TO THIS DAY NO ONE CAN ANSWER ME WHY A SPONTANEOUS FIRE STARTED IN MY CAR WHILE SITTING STILL WITH AC RUNNING, BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. PHOTOS SHOW POSSIBLE LEAKAGE ON THE WIRES, BUT NO ON WANTS TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM AT HAND.
FUEL TANK COVER DID NOT OPEN . VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.
TWO COMPUTER SCREEN ISSUES: COMPUTER SCREEN WOULD LIST SEVERAL WARNINGS (BRAKE SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE ,BLIND SPOT INDICATOR ,LIGHTS ALL SHOWN TO BE A PROBLEM. TRUNK & TURN SIGNALS, IPHONE CONNECTION WERE INOPERABLE.CAR WAS STATIONARY.
ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS SEEN A SHADOW ON THE GROUND AND SLAMMED ON BRAKES THEN RELEASING FOR NO REASON. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME ON EACH OCCASION. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS STOPPING ON A YELLOW LIGHT ON THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT IT DOESN'T DO THAT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO DISABLE IT BUT WAS TOLD HE CAN'T DO THAT WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THIS IS AN ADDED FEATURE.
COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM FAILS DURING OPERATION OF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER VERIFY IF A COLLISION IS GOING TO HAPPEN, AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO COLLIDE WITH A FORWARD VEHICLE.
2018 HONDA ACCORD EXL. 1565 MILES ON ODOMETER. WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND 89F. I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH ACC AND LKAS ACTIVATED BUT BEING CLOSELY MONITORED AS THIS FEATURE IS NEW TO ME. AS THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN AHEAD THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAYED "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER" ERROR MESSAGE. I HAD TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING DEALERSHIP TO SEEK OUT A SOLUTION. VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PREVENT FRONT COLLISIONS ALMOST CAUSED ONE!
TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN, BLINKERS AND WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK, ALL ON BOARD SENSORS (LANE DEPARTURE, BACKUP DETECTION, ETC.) WOULD NOT OPERATE. SEVERAL ERROR WARNINGS PRESENTED ON DASH IN REGARDS TO SAFETY SENSORS NOT WORKING. HAD TO STOP AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY RESET THE CAR COMPUTER. SAFETY ISSUE W/WIPERS AND BLINKERS NOT WORKING.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN CHARLESTON, SC, I MADE A TRIP TO ATLANTA. DURING THE ROUND TRIP I NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER MAKING A STOP, SUCH AS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. AFTER 4 OR 5 SECONDS THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AT SUCH A RATE THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I KNEW THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. IN FACT, I TOLD MY WIFE THAT SHE SHOULD NEVER DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THIS PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM ATLANTA I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT RICK HENDRICKS'S HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TESTED THE CAR AND THAT THE PROBLEM I HAD WAS INHERENT TO THIS ACCORD AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR IN ECON MODE AND THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN IF ECON MODE WAS 'OFF'. SO, I TURNED ECON MODE 'OFF' AND BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT AND WHEN I STOPPED AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN AND THEN BEGAN PROCEEDING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH A DEFECT THAT THE DEALER SAYS 'IT IS JUST THE WAY YOUR 2018 HONDA ACCORD WORKS'. I AM DRIVING AN AUTOMOBILE THAT POTENTIALLY MIGHT CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, AND OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL.
THE FIRST NIGHT I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED AND THE CAR LOST POWER, AND BECAME A BRICK. HAD TO TURN CAR THE OFF, START IT, AND BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. CAR SHOWED 3 MISFIRE CODES ON MY SCANNER P0301, P0304, P0300. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND IT SHOWS NOTHING HAPPENED. RELUCTANT TO TAKE THE CAR I WAS, BUT LIA BREWSTER HONDA WAS VERY FORCEFUL AND TOOK THE LOANER BACK. NOT EVEN TWO NIGHTS LATER THE CAR DID IT TWICE IN ONE DRIVE CYCLE. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS IN THE RAIN. LIA BREWSTER HONDA HAS MY CAR NOW FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I AM UPSET THAT THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS SAFE, I HAVE A 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THAT IS THE WORLD TO ME. I EXPLAINED THIS AND STILL WAS NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. MY CAR IS STILL THERE, AND NO SIGN OF BEING FIXED. ONLY PAID ONE PAYMENT ON THE CAR. THEY TOOK MY CAR DUE TO THE FACT I VIDEO TAPED THIS HAPPENING. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY, HOPE THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT BECOMES A TREND WITH 2018 HONDA 2.0T. PEOPLE'S SAFETY IS A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. VERY UPSET I WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND WAS PUTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION.
THE REAR BODY OF THE CAR STARTS TO RUST. IT'S JUST PURCHASED ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THE RUST DOTS ARE ALMOST EVERYWHERE ON THE REAR BODY. THEY APPEAR ON CEILING, ON DOORS, AND THE COVER OF TRUCK.
WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE IN THE LEFT HAND LANE ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN A YELLOW LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH AND CAR LOST ENGINE POWER. WIFE IS UNSURE WHICH YELLOW LIGHT CAME ON DUE IT HAPPENING SO FAST. SHE COASTED ACROSS THREE LANES AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE IS 700 MILES ON THE CAR. DEALER SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN ROAD DEBRIS THAT CAUSED COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE CAR BUT NOTHING WAS RECORDED IN THE EDR UNIT. VERY UNSAFE.
MY CAR `COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM` HAS GONE OUT SEVERAL TIMES. MY CAR HAS RATTLING SOUND FROM THE SOUND SYSTEM IN COLD DAYS. MY CAR ALSO HAS RATTLING SOUND WHEN DRIVING ON ROAD BUMPS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE LANE ASSIST SYSTEM AND LANE MITIGATION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN THE MIDDLE OF COMPLETING THE TURN, THE LANE MITIGATION FEATURE ACTIVATED AND STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BOULDER AND FRACTURED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION, WHICH DAMAGED THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CORAL SPRINGS AUTO MALL (9300 W ATLANTIC BLVD, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071, (954) 369-1016) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN SEVERAL OF THE SAFETY FEATURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
*****ASTERISKS ARE USED IN CASE YOUR SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPORT PARAGRAPH SEPARATION. *****WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH LKAS ON AND LANE MARKERS REGISTERED (PER THE READOUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL), THE VEHICLE WILL ATTEMPT TO STEER TOWARD THE VERY EDGE OF THE LANE NEAR A LARGE VEHICLE (PICKUP TRUCK, SEMI, ETC). IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WHILE ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO CONTROL THE STEERING, THE VEHICLE WILL MAINTAIN THIS POSITION. *****WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE HONDA SENSING SUITE ON, THE VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY REGISTER TAR PATCHES AND SKID MARKS AS LANE MARKERS AND ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION WILL ATTEMPT TO STEER AWAY FROM THE MARKING WHICH MEANS THE VEHICLE MAY OR MAY NOT ATTEMPT TO LEAVE ITS CURRENT LANE. *****THE ABOVE ARE REPRODUCED DAILY, ONE OF WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY ATTEMPTING TO STEER INTO (AND ALMOST REACHING BEFORE I COULD REACT) THE PICKUP TRUCK IN THE NEXT LANE. *****INCIDENT OCCURRED ONE TIME: DURING HEAVY BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID A READ-END COLLISION, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE ITS LANE. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 6500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF WRITING AND WAS PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2018.
SIMILAR TO NHTSB COMPLAINT ID# 11111897, VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION ON 7/21/208 ON HIGHWAY IN CONGESTION WHILE RAINING. IT HAS SINCE BEEN TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REPAIR WORK. I WAS TOLD FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. I HOPE THIS SOLVES THE ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AS I WAS PUT IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT AFTERNOON.
THE CHECK TPMS SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. TIRE PRESSURE IS FINE.
I PURCHASED THE CAR JULY 3RD, 2018. DRIVING ON A TRIP AT AROUND 900 MILES AND HAD THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE CAR MADE A BEEPING SOUND AND THE CRUISE CONTROL POWERED OFF. A MESSAGE CAME UP STATING COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE CRUISE WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DESTINATION I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND UPON TURNING IT BACK ON THE WARNING WAS GONE. I DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEM.
I HAVE REVCIEVED THE "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM" MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKE AND DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT I CONTINUE TO GET THE SAME PROBLEM.

JUST LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, I'M ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSITIVITY OF MY BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE FEELS LIKE THERE ARE STEPS TO IT INSTEAD OF A SMOOTH LINEAR PEDAL. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR WITH A BRAKE PEDAL LIKE THIS. FROM THE FIRST STOP LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BUYING MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD 1.5, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL FEELS BINARY LIKE THE BRAKES ARE EITHER ON OR OFF AND NOT SMOOTH AND LINEAR. IT'S EITHER FULL BRAKE OR NO BRAKE AND NO IN BETWEEN. THERE ARE STEPS TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BRAKE SMOOTHLY. THIS HAS CAUSED BACK PAIN AND IF THE ACCORD I TEST DROVE FELT THAT WAY, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ONE. I DROVE A FRIEND'S 18 ACCORD AND IT DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAY AT ALL. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW AND I TOLD THEM THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS LIKELY THE ISSUE AND THEY'VE JUST PUSHED BACK WITH "IT FEELS FINE" OR "IT NEEDS TO BREAK IN". WILL BE OPENING A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA OF AMERICA.
WHEN I CRANK CAR AND PULL OFF IT JUMPS REAL HARD AND SAY COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE SEE DEALER. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP TURNING BRAND NEW CAR OFF FOR IT TO DO RIGHT. PLEASE RECALL ALL ACCORDS VERY BAD HONDA THIS ONE IS HORRIBLE. VEHICLE WAS ON A REGULAR STREET GOOD CONDITION MIAMI FL. THE SIDE MIRRORS SHAKE ALL THE TIME. THE MUSIC ALWAYS TAKE TIME TO LOAD. DEFECT IN WHOLE CAR PLEASE PLEASE RECALL BEFORE INJURY.
I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET, ACCELERATING AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. THE GEARSHIFT INDICATED THE CAR TO BE IN DRIVE BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MOVED THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT SELECTIONS BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE DASH BRAKE FAILURE CONTACT DEALER LIGHT APPEARED, THEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE CONTACT DEALER WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, WHICH I DID. THE CAR RESTARTED, THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE ONE BLOCK TO HOME. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID NOT DO AS I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE. IT WAS FORTUNATE I WAS NOT ON A FREEWAY OR IN TRAFFIC AS I MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNEXPECTEDLY; FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND NO NOTICE LIKE BRAKE STOP LIGHTS TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS THE CAR WAS STOPPING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
TAKATA RECALL MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED BY ITSELF WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON , WHILE SITTING ON MY GARAGE. AND IT HAS NO CHIP ON IT LIKE WHEN ROCKS HIT IT I HAD ONLY DROVE IT TWICE ONLY
TERRIBLE PAIN IN LEGS, ESPECIALLY LEFT LEG, AND BUTTOCKS WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR. HAVE TRIED EVERY VARIATION OF SEAT ADJUSTMENTS (AND DO HAVE LUMBAR SUPPORT) AND PILLOWS, BUT NO HELP. MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST SAYS IT IS BEST TO SIT WITH SPINE AND LEGS AT 90 DEGREES, HEAD STRAIGHT ON TOP OF SPINE. THIS CAR SEAT FORCES HEAD FORWARD AND BUTT LOWER THAN KNEES. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS, I GAVE UP -MAKING ME MISERABLE. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GO BACK TO OLD CAR WHICH IS MORE COMFORTABLE. IT CAN'T BE SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IN THIS MUCH PAIN. I HAVE ALSO TRIED MOST OF THE OTHER IIHS TSP SEDANS AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THE NEWER SAFETY DEVICES (LIKE BACK UP CAMERA, ADAPTIVE CRUISE, LANE KEEPING ASSIST, BLIND SPOT ALERTS) BUT ALL SEEM TO BE JUST AS UNCOMFORTABLE. CAN'T OUR ENGINEERS MANAGE TO MEET SAFETY AND COMFORT NEEDS? THANKS.
HAZE ON BOTH LED HEADLIGHT LENS, HONDA STATES ITS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN HAD THIS HAPPEN ON A NEW CAR.
COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE IN MOTION IN A ROUND ABOUT TURNING RIGHT. LIGHT STAYED UNTIL CAR WAS TURNED OFF. THEN LIGHT WAS OFF.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE 'OFF'. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE DASHBOARD VIBRATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE DRIVING; HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION STOPPED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE VIBRATION FAILURE AT HONDA WINDWARD (45-671 KAMEHAMEHA HWY, KANEOHE, HI 96744, (808) 247-8544). THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW AIR CONDITIONING BELT WAS TAPED ONTO THE UNIT. THE BELT WAS COVERED WITH FOAM TO KEEP IT ATTACHED TO THE UNIT. AS THE BELT PRESSED AGAINST THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT IT MADE A NOISE AND, COUPLED WITH AN UNKNOWN OBJECT UNDER THE DASHBOARD, CAUSED A VIBRATION. THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. NEITHER THE AIR BAG OR VIBRATION FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,090. *TT
ALL HONDA SENSING LIGHTS GOES OFF AND SEE THE DEALER MESSAGE SHOWN ON SCREEN.
AT 670 MILES, I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY AROUND A CORNER WHEN I HEARD A LONG BEEP FOLLOWED BY A "COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER" MESSAGE. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO STOPPED WORKING. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ERROR WENT AWAY. ABOUT A WEEK LATER AT 813 MILES, I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 55 MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED WHEN I HEARD A LONG BEEP, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, AND I RECEIVED THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE AS BEFORE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE CLEARS THE ERROR AND ALLOWS THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WERE ON WARM, SUNNY, CLEAR DAYS WITH DRY ROADS AND NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN FRONT OF THE RADAR OR CAMERA UNITS. YESTERDAY, THE CMBS FAILED TO ALERT ME TO A FOUR-WHEELER THAT DROVE ACROSS THE STREET IN FRONT OF ME AND IT SEEMS LESS SENSITIVE AT DETECTING OTHER VEHICLES NOW - EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO ERROR MESSAGES OR WARNING INDICATORS PRESENT.
ON MAY 25TH, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS THE ONLY VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. ON MAY 29TH, I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR AN INSPECTION. THE DEALER DID NOT FIND ANY ERRORS WHEN THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER.
WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE THE DISPLAY AUTO SCREEN WENT BLANK AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT REBOOTED. ON MAY 29TH, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN I GOT OFF THE PHONE THE AUDIO DISPLAY FROZE. I COULDN'T GET ON THE HOME SCREEN, CHANGE THE RADIO STATION. THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT TURNED OFF AND REBOOTED ITSELF. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO REPORT THE ISSUE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DEC 2017AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE.
MAY 13TH, 2018 DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 50-55 GOING EASTBOUND ON THE BAY BRIDGE IN SAN FRANCISCO -'OUT OF NO WHERE' THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE CAME ON! AND I DIDN'T PUSH NO BUTTONS! NOT QUITE SURE OF THE MALFUNCTIONING, BUT IT COST AN ACCIDENT' CAUSE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND! ALSO MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, BUT WHEN HONDA LINK ASSISTANT CALLED AND WE WAS TOLD- 'THEY SENSE AN ACCIDENT CAUSE OF DEPLOYED AIRBAGS.' I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE A CAR THAT NEARLY KILLED US.
AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, THE FRONT HOOD VIBRATES SIGNIFICANTLY. NOT ONLY IS THIS ANNOYING BUT IT IS ALSO FRIGHTENING. I THOUGHT THAT HOOD WAS ABOUT TO FLY OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE. I EVEN CONTACTED HONDA DEALERS WHERE I WAS TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THIS ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOOK BACK TO MY DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REARRANGED A SEAL BUT ALSO THAT IS WHAT 2018 HONDA ACCORDS DO...THEY VIBRATE. BASICALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE REMAINS.
BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MARCH 30,2018 NEW AT GREAT LAKES HONDA IN AKRON , OHIO. AS SOON AS I DROVE HOME , I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE ACCELERATE . DID NOT FEEL SAFE. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA STORE IN YOUNGSTOWN , OHIO ON 4/10/2018. 10 DAYS LATER, THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS SAFE. CALLED THE SELLING DEALER( GREAT LAKES HONDA) SEVERAL TIMES AND LEFT MESSAGES .THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK.TI BELIEVE THEY KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEN CAR.
BRAKES ARE VERY TOUCHY AND WHEN BRAKING PEDAL SOMETIMES GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CAR DOES NOT STOP SMOOTHLY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE DIFFERENT STAGES WHEN BREAKING. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN WHEN LIGHTLY TOUCHING BREAK WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD.
THE TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION DOESN'T ALWAYS DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED. IT HAS DISPLAYED 100MPH IN A 65 ON I-40 GOING FROM NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR. WEST. I DO HAVE A PIC OF IT. DIFFERENT AREAS IT WILL EITHER DISPLAY THE INCORRECT SPEED OR NOT DISPLAY IT AT ALL. MY HONDA DEALER CHECKED IT OUT, STATED IT WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. IT DOES AT TIME, AT TIMES IT DOESN'T. I HAVE TALKED WITH HONDA, THEY STATED THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTORS THAT CAN INTERFERE WITH THE CAMERA READING THE SIGNS. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, ACCESS ROADS & THE INTERSTATE. IT'S INTERMITTENT.
THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY ON THE 10SPEED IT JERKS AND SHUTTERS ALL THE TIME IN FIRST THRU 5 TH GEAR THE BRAKE BOOSTER MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN STOPPING MOVIN IT FROM DRIVE TO PARK TO NEUTRAL THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN IN SEVERAL GEARS AND BANGS YOU HEAD AGAINST THE HEAD REST THE REAR SEAT LEATHER WAS BIT STITCHED CORRECTLY
BRAKES DO NOT STOP SMOOTHLY, THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT TAKES EXTRA PRESSURE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. MAKES THE CAR STOP SUDDENLY WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE SMOOTHLY. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH NO FIX AND NOW DEALER SAYS THEY NEEX TO WAIT FOR AMERICAN HONDA TO ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR OTHERS ON HONDA FORUMS
BRAKES PEDAL MAKING A LOUD THUMPING SOUND. DEALER WILL NOT FIX. SINCE IT INVOLVES BRAKES I FEEL IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER.
LOUD CLUNK IS CONSISTENTLY HEARD AND FELT EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AFTER BEING DEPRESSED. THE NOISE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN COLD WEATHER AND CAN BE HEARD ABOVE THE RADIO AND ROAD NOISE. THE LOUD CLUNK SOUND OCCURS WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS MOVING, OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR THE IGNITION/ACCESSORY POWER IS TURNED ON. THE NOISE CAN BE CONSISTENTLY REPRODUCED AND EMANATES FROM THE FIREWALL AREA UNDER THE DASH WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL LINKAGE ATTACHES TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED ABOVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED INTO PIECES OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOEHN HONDA (5454 PASEO DEL NORTE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008, (760) 438-1818) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 07491501. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,306.
THREE TIMES DURING THE FIRST 1500 MILES THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM HAS FAILED, DISABLING THAT FEATURE AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, DISPLAYING A LARGE DIAGNOSTIC ON THE ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD AND TELLING ME TO SEE MY DEALER. IN ALL CASES I WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC ON NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FREEWAYS AT CRUISING SPEED (TWICE ON 101, ONCE ON 80). THE FIRST TWO FAILURES OCCURRED DURING DAYTIME, THE THIRD AT NIGHT. THE WEATHER IN ALL CASES WAS NORMAL (NO RAIN, SNOW, MUD, ...) .WHEN I VISITED THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST TWO OCCURRENCES (WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE CONDITION CLEARS) THE DEALER FOUND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES OR OTHER PROBLEMS. THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED A THIRD TIME. THE DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF DIAGNOSTIC CODES.
I HAVE A COLD STAR GRINDING NOISE . IT HAPPENS ALWAYS AT FIRST START OF THE DAY OR COLD START .THE NOISE IS FROM VTC ACTUATOR
THE BRAKING SYSTEM HESITATES AND GRABS. IT IS LIKE THERE ARE SEVERAL STAGES OR STEPS IN THE BRAKE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP SMOOTHLY. AS YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IN, THE CAR DOESN'T SLOW NORMALLY UNTIL YOU HIT A "STEP" OR "NOTCH" AND THEN IT JUST SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY AND YOU GO FORWARD IN YOUR SEAT. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AS THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 400 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK IT OFF THE LOT THE FIRST TIME, AND OTHER NEW ACCORDS I HAVE DRIVEN DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM.
THE BRAKES ARE VERY TOUCHY. FEELS LIKE REAR BRAKE BIAS IS VERY STRONG. BRAKING SMOOTHLY IS IMPOSSIBLE. DANGEROUS ON SLICK ROADS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE TECH DROVE THE CAR AND SAID BRAKES WERE NORMAL. WE DROVE ANOTHER ACCORD AND IT ALSO HAD TOUCHY BRAKES. I HAVE NEVER DROVE A CAR WITH BRAKES THIS TOUCHY. I HAD ABOUT 200 MILES AT THE TIME. I NOW HAVE 7000 MILES AND THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY BETTER.
I AM EXPERIENCING BRAKE PEDAL ISSUES. AS I PUT PRESSURE ON TO SLOW DOWN, AT ANY SPEED, IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS "STUCK", THEN IT GRABS HARD AND LURCHES YOU FORWARD IN YOUR SEAT. AS I RELIEVE MY FOOT OFF AND PUT PRESSURE BACK ON, IT DOES THE SAME THING: THE PEDAL SEEMS TO GO DOWN IN "STAGES". I CANNOT BRAKE IN A NORMAL, SMOOTH FASHION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM TWICE IN 2 WEEKS AND THEY HAVE STATED BOTH TIMES THAT NONE OF THEIR STAFF CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AS OF 3/7/18. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST DOCUMENTED WITH AROUND 200 MILES ON THE CAR.
I PURCHASED BRAND NEW MY 2018 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DEC 28 2017 I HAVE 1450 MILES CURRENTLY ON THE CAR AND THE BRAKE PRESSURE HAS BEEN LOST. WHEN APPLYING BREAKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED ITS NOT AS NOTICEABLE BUT AROUND TOWN AT 45MPH WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS THERE IS DEAD SPACE THEN FULL BRAKE KICKS IN WHICH MAKES OTHERS THINK YOU ARE BRAKE CHECKING THEM. WHEN GOING TO THE FORUMS AND TO THIS WEBSITE I SAW OTHER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURES. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED YES THE VEHICLE HAS A FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING MY NEW CAR WITH A FAILED BOOSTER WAITING ON HONDA TO FIX IT. I HOPE THIS IS SAFE THAT THAT MY BRAND NEW CAR ISN'T BEING DAMAGED WAITING FOR THIS PART.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, RESTARTED IT, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHAPMAN HONDA OF TUCSON (4426 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85711), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 06589496. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. *TT
PROBLEM WITH FUEL FILLER LID ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FREEZES CAUSES INABILITY TO PUSH IN AND OPEN THE FUEL DOOR. DEALER CONTENDS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO ETA ON REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS ONLINE AND HONDA HAS NOT RESPONDED DIRECTLY TO A TICKET OPENED ON THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SITE.
SERIOUS CRASH CONTROL PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME. AS I WAS TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT A LARGE "BRAKE" IMAGE APPEARED ON MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY DISTRACTING MY EYES AWAY FROM THE ROAD. THE "SAFETY FEATURE" ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A CRASH. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO DISABLE THE COLLISION PREVENTION SYSTEM BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT. THIS "SAFETY TECHNOLOGY" ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY DISTRACTING ME FROM THE ROAD.
WHENEVER I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND START DRIVING FORWARD A LIABILITY NOTICE COMES UP ON THE LARGE DISPLAY SCREEN ASKING ME TO READ IT AND PUSH OK - SIGNIFYING THAT I READ THE MESSAGE AND CERTIFYING THAT I WILL BE A SAFE DRIVER (WHILE DRIVING). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DISTRACTION. I ASKED MY HONDA DEALER TO REMOVE IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT AS IT PROVIDED LIABILITY PROTECTION FOR HONDA. THIS "LEGAL NOTICE" CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIORITY HONDA (621 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS, CYLINDERS, COMPRESSOR, AND FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,697. *TT *TR
VEHICLE EXHIBITED ELECTRONIC BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AFTER LESS THAN 100 MILES OF DRIVING. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A HARD "STEP" IN IT, AND GRABS VERY SUDDENLY ONCE THE STEP IS OVERCOME. THIS MAKES SMOOTH BRAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE SUGGESTED FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE BOOSTER (01469-TVA-A24). THE NEW BRAKE BOOSTER SHOULD RETURN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO NORMAL, AND RESTORE A SMOOTH LINEAR BRAKE. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2018 ACCORD AS THE PART (01469-TVA-A24) IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE WILL SPEND OVER 2 WEEKS IN THE SHOP!!!
SOY WIRE HARNESSES SHOULD BE BANNED AND RECALLS INSTITUTED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY EITHER (A) REPLACING THE HARNESSES WITH STANDARD SYNTHETIC NON-EDIBLE POLYMERS AS APPROPRIATE TO THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION, OR (B) PROVIDING COATINGS THAT PROVABLY PREVENT RODENTS FROM CONSUMING THE INSULATION OVER THE LIFESPAN OF THE VEHICLE
TPMS LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING COMES ON ABOUT EVERY 2 DAYS. EACH TIME EVERY TIRE IS THE EXACT SAME PRESSURE AND NOT LOW. TPMS IS RECALIBRATED, 2 DAYS LATER IT COMES ON AGAIN. LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. SYSTEM SEEMS TOO SENSITIVE.
BRAKES GRABBING AND ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. AT LOW SPEEDS, TOUCH BRAKES LIGHTLY AND THEY DO LITTLE TO STOP THE CAR. DEPRESS BRAKES HARDER AND THE PEDAL 'STEPS' IN AND THE BRAKES GRAB ABRUPTLY. VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE SMOOTHLY / NON-ABRUPTLY. AS A RESULT, AT LEAST ONE TIME ABS KICKED IN PREMATURELY WHEN ROAD SURFACE COVERED WITH SNOW. BUT CORE PROBLEM (GRABBY BRAKES) ARE IRRESPECTIVE OF ROAD SURFACE.
THIS CAR HAS STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF BAD BUILD QUALITY. 1ST 2 DAYS AFTER BUYING THE CAR ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SO I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR A MODULE REPLACEMENT. 2ND THE CAR IS VERY LOUD ( THE ROAD NOISE AND ENGINE NOISE) WORSE NOISE I'VE EVER HEARD FROM A NEW CAR AND SOUND LIKE IT'S HAS EXHAUST LEAKS. T|E VEHICLES RIDE IS VERY HARD LIKE THE STRUTS ARE WORN OR BOTTOMING OUT AND IT'S NOT THE 17 INCH TIRES AS MY FUSION HAS 17'S. THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN ITS LANE EVEN WITH ALL OF THE LANE KEEP TECHNOLOGY I HAVE A HARD TIME STAYING STRAIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN I HIT BUMPS THE CAR HOPS AROUND LIKE IT HAS WORN STRUTS. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR HARD ON PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP.
I PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA ACCORD TOURING IN OCTOBER 2017 AND SINCE THAT TIME MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AROUND 8 TIMES. IT COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND USALLY WHEN I'M TAKING A TRIP BUT NOT ALWASYS; SOMETIMES IT IS CITY DRIVING. EACH TIME I'M TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IT COMES ON AGAIN. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH HONDA COPORATION TRYING TO GET IT RESOLVED.
WITH 30 MILES ON MY NEW 2018 HONDA ACCORD 1.5L TOURING THE BRAKE ALARM ACTIVATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS. IT WAS DANGEROUS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD STOP THE CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRIC BRAKE BOOSTER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS ON THE INTERNET REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM.
BOUGHT VEHICLE NOV 22,2017. THE FOLLOWING WEEK WHEN COMMUTING HOME FROM WORK A LIGHT CAME ON WHILE USING DRIVER ASSIST SHOWING COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE SHOP FOREMAN SAID TO TAKE A PHOTO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE COMMUTE HOME WHILE USING DRIVER ASSIST SHOWING THE SAME MESSAGE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THE 2ND TIME AND THEY KEPT IT A FEW DAYS SO THE FOREMAN COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE. HE COULDN'T REPLICATE IT AND TOLD US TO TAKE IT BACK AND TAKE A PHOTO AND RECORD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HE ALSO THOUGHT OUR COMMUTER TRANSPONDER MIGHT BE INTERFERING WITH THE HONDA COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. THE 3RD TIME ON THE COMMUTE HOME WAS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN NOT ONLY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, THE BRAKES ENGAGED AT APPROX. 55 MPH AND WE THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR ENDED US IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY. THANKFUL NO ONE HIT US OR US HITTING THEM. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER OVER 2 WEEKS AGO AND AND THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLICATE IT ONCE AGAIN. NOW THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE FACT THE BRAKES ANGAGED ON THE FREEWAY AT 55 MPH. WE REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. THE DEALER CALLED US TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THEY INSTALLED A RECORDING DEVICE WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO US TO SUBJECT ANYONE TO A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. WE UNDERSTAND THEY ARE TRYING TO REPLICATE IT BUT SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. WE ARE IN LIMBO AND ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED.
THE CAR STUTTERS OR STAMMERS WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR/GAS PEDAL AT TIMES, IT DOES NOT DO IT AT ALL TIMES. IT IS DANGEROUS. IT WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT, OR PULLLING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION.
TAKATA RECALL CANNOT GET INTERNET SITES TO ACCEPT MY VIN, LICENSE ENTRIES TO LEARN IF CAR IS DUE FOR RECALL WORK ON AIR BAG
▸ Engine stalling at speed — fuel delivery failure can cause sudden loss of power in traffic or on highways

The blue line shows 1700 total NHTSA complaints filed over 10 years, with the worst year being 2024 (349 complaints, including 5 crash reports).
The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 10/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.
The red dashed lines mark recall issuance — the first recall came 3 years after owners began filing complaints, a lag that indicates the manufacturer was slow to formally acknowledge these problems.
Red dots on the amber line flag 8 years (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
In cold climates, the 1.5L turbocharged engine allows gasoline to enter the engine oil during short trips, causing the oil level to rise above the maximum mark and reducing lubrication effectiveness. Honda issued a special warranty coverage program for vehicles primarily operated in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Coverage eligibility depends on your VIN, original sale date, and current mileage. Always verify with an authorized dealer or manufacturer customer service — programs may have been updated since this database was compiled.
