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.

Dec 15, 2025

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.

Dec 11, 2025

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.

Dec 06, 2025

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. Vehicle Information: Owner: [XXX] VIN: [XXX] Mileage at failure: 127,000 miles Location: [XXX] Phone: [XXX] or [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Nov 25, 2025

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.

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

Vehicle will sometimes automatically emergency brake with nothing in front of it

Oct 28, 2025

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.

Aug 31, 2025

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

Aug 25, 2025

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.

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.

Dec 01, 2025

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.

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.

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.

Sep 11, 2025

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.

Jul 21, 2025

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.

The brakes failed on the highway twice.

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.

Nov 25, 2023

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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The vehicle is misfiring due to faulty fuel injectors. Causing every light on the dash to come on.

Dec 15, 2025

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.

Dec 02, 2025

Several system warnings. Dealership diagnostic "bad fuel injectors" Vehicle has 62,735 miles.

Nov 24, 2025

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.

Nov 09, 2025

When gas gets low, all the warnings come up on the dash and LKAS turns off. Unable to use any features.

Sep 22, 2025

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.

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.

Mar 03, 2025

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.

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

Engine knock caused by oil dilution which is known manufacturing issues with my model of car.

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.

Oct 18, 2025

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.

Oct 11, 2025

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!

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.

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.

2018 Honda Accord in Still Night Pearl experiencing paint peeling and rust forming. Similar issue covered under Service Bulletin 21-087, but my VIN is not covered according to dealership. Additionally, upon inspection, underneath the hood on the windshield side has paint peeling. No rust at the moment, but severe paint loss.

Jun 17, 2024

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.

turbo charger split causing engine failure which almost created a serious accident.

Oct 28, 2025

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.

Sep 17, 2025

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.

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.

Nov 15, 2024

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.

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.

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 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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

23 complaints

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.

Crash: 1

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.

Supplemental restraint system problem

Oct 07, 2025

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 was driving around and all of sudden my car dashboard shows the Supplemental Restraint system problem.

Jul 24, 2025

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.

Jul 11, 2025

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.

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.

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.

Oct 14, 2025

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.

Sep 12, 2025

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.

Aug 27, 2025

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

Sep 03, 2025

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.

Sep 02, 2025

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oct 03, 2025

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.

Head Gasket

Sep 17, 2025

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.

Aug 04, 2025

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.

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.

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.

LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

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.

May 11, 2024

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.

Apr 17, 2024

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.

Nov 08, 2022

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.

Oct 06, 2022

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?

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.

Aug 18, 2025

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

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.

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.

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

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.

Apr 20, 2024

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.

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.

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.

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

5 complaints

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.

Dec 10, 2025

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HONDA TEST DROVE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING; SINCE THIS IS SPORADIC, THIS WAS NOT SURPRISING.

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?

Jun 11, 2019

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.

Jan 12, 2019

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!

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

Aug 11, 2025

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.

I WENT TO A HONDA DEALER AND UNTIL THIS TIME NO ONE CAN HELP ME

Sep 13, 2024

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.

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.

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).

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The contact's son owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle was stalling while driving. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the head gasket was replaced; however, the warning light illuminated again. The contact's son received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the failure was not related to the recall. The contact's son informed the dealer to perform the recall repair because the symptoms were related to the recall, but the dealer declined. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Forward Collision Warning feature On 02/16/24 I was traveling east on I-630 at about 60 mph. While driving at that speed I saw a foreign object in my lane but I could not swerve in neither right or left lane as there were vehicles traveling in both lanes when my car hit the foreign object the object became lodged under the car dragging it at least 20 to 30 feet the car lost power myself and passenger had to push car out of road to shoulder to keep from getting killed as it had lost power and would not start. The Forward Collision Warning feature did not alert me of the object nor of the vehicle’s traveling ahead of me nor vehicles traveling in left and right lanes along side of me that I attempted to avoid hitting. I had previously filed a complaint about the warning lights and malfunctioning features on the car to dealership on 2019 2020 and 2021 I was told it could be a series of reasons why the warning lights are all on and the car features shut down even the car losing its power I was never able to get my car on the recall list for this I filed a complaint with Honda Manufacturer 2022 and was told that someone would be in touch but no one ever called I took the car back to dealership tech stated that the cracked windshield maybe the cause of the warning lights coming on so I got windshield , spark plugs, battery twice, replaced all for tires twice kept scheduled services up to par warning lights still on in-car still losing power in the middle of traffic on 01/20/24 I tried getting appt for fuel pump recall dealerships states they donot have the inventory to replace fuel pump I was told when Honda manufacturer contact dealerships giving the go ahead to repair I will l be contacted fast forward to 02/16/24 this is the result of none of features functioning especially the Forward Collision Warning feature my car now is at a loss of use it does not start the oil panel was damaged the radiator was crushed the sensor dislodged and body was damage to vehicle

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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)

My vehicle I of several people I know suddenly appears on the screen the symbol of the seat belt I the airbags turn off I took it to the dealer I they told me that it doesn't have it. Nothing keeps appearing and Honda is not responsible for something that can take lives in an accident either

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

1 complaint

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

1 complaint

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.

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.

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.

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/

1 complaint

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!!

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

ALL dashboard warning lights come on and 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. 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. The warnings that show up in my HondaLink are: *Engine System Problem *Electric Power Steering Problem *CMBS Problem *Adaptive Cruise Control Problem *CMBS Problem My car is regularly service at the Honda dealership and currently has less than 48,000 miles. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON RANDOMLY How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk?

YES, BUT THEY HAD NO REAL SOLUTION (Not the location where I purchased my vehicle - only offered to do what wasn't covered under my warranty so that the "tech can get paid" (NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO TO STONECREST HONDA IN LITHONIA, GA) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?

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.

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.

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.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,AIR BAGS

1 complaint

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
