On December 4 at 8:57pm I was driving on interstate 295 doing 60 miles an hour and my car’s warning light for breaking came up for me to break like something was in front of me even though there wasn’t, this is a continuing thing going on. I reported every time it happens.

It is uncertain which specific system/systems have failed/malfunctioned at this point. Despite frequent and consistent communication with Honda, no real attempt has been made to uncover the cause of this issue, and no solution has been provided. The vehicle has been, and is, available for inspection upon request. This is the 1st occurrence since the first event on 21 April 2025. This occurred on the interstate. During this event, the vehicle rapidly decelerated from 75 mph to 20 mph without the ability of the driver to intervene or take back control of the vehicle. This led to a very near miss as traffic was rapidly approaching the rear of my vehicle. At the time of the incident (5:10 pm), I was in the left lane. Traffic was moderate. The weather was clear and dry. CMBS was on. ACC was (status unknown). LKAS was on. RDM was on. Problem has not yet been reproduced but dealer has verbally indicated that they get frequent complaints about the system. This includes one employee who has experienced this on his personal vehicle. Many DTCs have been recovered from the vehicle’s log. Manufacturer: Yes, vehicle has spent 30 days, to date, in custody of Honda Police: Not yet. Will do immediately if advised Insurance Representatives: Not yet. Will do immediately if advised Others: No. Any work on the vehicle performed outside of Honda East Cincinnati will void the warranty No warning or alert (audible or visual) lights were present before, during, or after the event

I had just left my job in Albany and was headed to the Latham area, while merging into traffic on I-90 West my 2020 Honda Accord EX-L started to rattle and slow down, numerous lights illuminated simultaneously on my dashboard. I immediately pulled off the north shoulder and restarted my vehicle to no avail, the dashboard lights were still lit and my vehicles speed and steering were compromised. My safety was put at risk due to the immediate issues as previously described while in heavy traffic, I could have easily been involved in an accident due this issue. The system Keeler Honda advised me that had failed was allegedly the head gasket leaking coolant into the engine by means of cylinder four. I was later informed by Keeler that this is a common issue with the accord 1.5 L turbo engines. The problem has been verified by Keeler Honda. There was no prior warning light on my dash that would have indicated there was an issue with my vehicle, the lights only all appeared once the incident had occurred.

When I turned my car on after work every warning light on the dashboard was on. A few of the warning messages read: Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Electric Power Steering System Problem. I first took it to Oreilly's to have the diagnostics ran. They told me the ignition coils needed to be replaces. We replaced the ignition coils and the spark plugs. The lights stayed off for about 3-4 days and then the same thing happened again. I took it to the dealership to be checked out and they told me that the head gasket had failed and coolant was leaking into the cylinder and causing the engine to overheat.

Received the following message "Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer" on my car dashboard. Brought to dealer and was told the issue was with the front passenger airbag cut on/off indicator. Was told this needed to be fixed or the airbag would not work. It was not covered by Honda as it was over 3 years and 36000 miles. Spoke to Honda and was informed I am not the only one with this problem but they would not cover it. Had to go out of pocket almost $500 on a malfunction that should be covered by a recall.

2020 Honda Accord Sport 19,000 miles, driving slowly in neighborhood, automatic brake system engaged and slammed the car to a stop without cause. No obstacles no other vehicle. I have an apt for dealership to inspect. I discovered this has been reported by other owners when I researched online The consumer stated that they are no comfortable driving the car since Honda cannot identify the issue with the vehicle.

I purchased a 2020 Honda Accord in 9/2020 brand new. Within one month I started having brake issues. It felts like shuttering. I took it back to Honda service department; they stated the rotors need to be shaved a little. This did take care of the problem for about 8 months to year. I then started having the exact same sensation when braking at low speeds and worse at high speeds. I took it back to Honda (living in a different state) they said tech forgot to look at the brakes (it was there for oil change and tire rotation too) schedule to bring back and apologized. I scheduled a new appointment about 2 weeks out. They have my car all day and state they could not duplicate the problem. Service advisor states they believe it's happening at high speed/brakes heat-up was it okay for Service Manager to drive home because he lives a distance away. I did not feel comfortable with that, so he said to just drop by when I'm out and it's happening that a mechanic would get in the car with me to see if he feels the problem. I work Monday-Friday 8-5, I can't just stop in I explained. I was out of town over the weekend on I-95 going around 74mph and cars in front of me start hitting their brakes to slow down for traffic ahead we were on a slight curve in the road, my car starts shaking uncontrollably and giving that shuttering feeling then the brakes lock up. Thank goodness the car behind me was able to move into the slow lane and not rearend me at a deadly speed. My neck is still hurting from the locking of the brakes at such a high speed. I called Honda yesterday and scheduled to bring it back in again for the 4th time. I explained I will not take this car back without something being done to these brakes. At this point I feel it's a death trap. Let's see what happens Wednesday.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

It is unknown what system failed. While coasting to slow for the stopped car in front of me, the car began aggressively accelerating without warning. Adaptive and standard cruise control were both off. Lane keep assist and road departure were also switched off. Due to the slick nature of the road, the acceleration left me traveling far too fast with little space to stop. After sliding to a stop, I was within a foot from the car in front of me. This failure very nearly caused an at-fault accident which there was nothing more I could do. Note that this happened roughly 40 mins into a drive, which was otherwise uneventful. No warning lights were present before, during, or after the issue. This car has been having phantom braking issues and power loss issues consistently since March and has spent significant time in Honda's hands for this issue. The vehicle has come to a near stop on the highway from the previous braking issues and has lost power, stranding me in traffic on a highway. It is suspected that the same system failure that caused those issues has come back up again. To date, thousands have been spent on repair "guesses" and tow bills with no end in sight to these safety issues. This vehicle has become a liability and, as a result, inspections are strongly encouraged. I have included photos of the floor mats as they were at the time, properly secured and not near either pedal.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

While I was driving on the highway, the brakes of my car suddenly were violently activated and I had not touched the brakes. If there had been a car behind me, it would have been a major rear end collision. It was over quickly and I accelerated back to the normal speed. I talked to the Honda Service Mgr where I purchased the car and he said he was unaware of the problem although I see that that nearly 3 million Hondas have experienced this issue.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brakes were independently activated without the driver depressing the brake pedal. The “Service Brakes” warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the contact related the failure to Honda Recall: TN2; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

Driving on a clear road on a clear day with no car in front of me, the brake warning flashed and then the car braked on its own. There was NO reason for the warning or for the car to brake on its own. Automatic breaking isn’t even a feature on this car.

I was driving down US Route 42 on 10/4/25 at 1:10 AM and my car phantom break itself while I was doing 60 miles an hour on the highway.
Oct 05, 2025
On September 2, 2025 at 1004-1005 EST, my car phantom braked, when there was nothing in front of me and this time instead of just flashing brake on the dashboard, it actually breaks itself and threw me into the steering wheel thank God my seatbelt caught me, but it really choked me up. This has happened quite a number of times before, but this is the first time that it breaked when I actually stepped on the brake pedal it break itself myself also. The component is the automatic breaking for the collision impact that keeps phantom breaking on me. It has never been looked at by a dealer or anyone otherwise. The lamp that came on was the BREAK lamp where the rpm are at.

Detailed Statement of Defect and Manufacturer’s Acknowledgment – Honda Fuel Pump Recall (2017–2020 Acura and Honda Models) Overview of Recall: On December 21, 2023, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. publicly announced a voluntary safety recall affecting approximately 2.6 million Acura and Honda vehicles in the United States from model years 2017 through 2020. This large-scale recall concerns a critical defect in the fuel pump system that has the potential to cause engine stalling while the vehicle is in motion, posing a serious safety risk. Technical Description of the Defect: The issue stems from an improperly molded fuel pump impeller—a component responsible for fuel delivery within the pump. The molding defect results in the production of low-density impellers that are prone to deformation. Over time, these impellers can degrade and interfere with the fuel pump body, ultimately rendering the fuel pump inoperative. Should the fuel pump module fail during vehicle operation, the engine may not start or could stall without warning, which significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury due to the sudden loss of engine power, particularly at high speeds or in heavy traffic conditions. Manufacturer’s Response and Limitations: Honda has stated that it will replace the affected fuel pump modules free of charge, and claims that no crashes or injuries have been reported at the time of the announcement. However, it is critical to note: •Countermeasure replacement parts are currently unavailable in sufficient quantities to address all recalled vehicles simultaneously. •Honda plans to notify vehicle owners in stages, with initial notifications to begin in early February 2024, followed by additional notices as parts become available. •This delay in availability and communication may expose vehicle owners to ongoing safety risks without immediate remedy. Legal and Consumer Impact Considerations: While Honda has initiated recall efforts, the scope and severity o

STEERING

Steering sticks when driving straight. Additional pressure needed on steering input causing car to jerk left or right.
Nov 28, 2024
While driving at highway speeds, the vehicles steering becomes locked in place requiring a substantial amount of force to turn with the road causing the car to jerk which then cause me to over correct. There are no warning lights that have come on. The vehicle has less then 60k miles. The problem has been reproduced by a Honda dealer. They stated that they don't know how the steering rack could have failed.
Dec 07, 2023
When driving, the steering wheel sticks and you almost have to jerk the steering wheel over when not going in a straight line. I have seen that people with Hondas have been having similar issues for years. This is a safety concern because I have a 16 year old learning how to drive and she is unable to drive the car straight due to the issue with the steering. I refuse to pay to have this issue resolved when it seems to be something that occurs, and has been occurring, in Accords.
Jan 18, 2023
I put in a complaint before and the problem still persists. I’ve been to Honda over 10 times and they claim they cannot recreate it which is just a tactic to not repair the issue. Seems A LOT of other Honda owners are having this issue which is the gear box. There are multiple years affected including 2018-2020. The steering wheel sticks while trying to drive straight. No issues with turns. The steering wheel will hold in the straight position and when trying to drive straight and ease with the road the wheel will not turn even the slightest without some force which causes you to overcorrect. It is VERY dangerous and I don’t know why Honda is not recalling the problem parts. I bought my car new and never had an issue until the second month I drove the car. 3 years later and over 10 visits to Honda and it’s still happening. Please PUSH Honda to fix this issue ASAP!!!!
Nov 23, 2022
At approximately 9,000 miles I noticed a steering problem with my accord. It started very subtle over a few weeks. Driving at a speed over 50 mph, the steering wheel felt as if it was sticking when trying to turn slightly to the right or left. It became more and more noticeable to a point where I did not feel safe driving it on the interstate at high speeds. When it would stick, I had to pull the wheel harder to the right or left to release it, making me feel I would over correct and run off the road or into another car. The problem was very noticeable after about 30 minutes of driving when the car was warmed up, and at a speed greater than 50 mph. The steering was normal at low speeds during slower traffic in town. The dealership duplicated the problem and replaced the car steering rack. This corrected the problem.

Dec 15, 2025
Car has recently started to actuate the door locks while accelerating from a slowing or braking position. There was some clicking or chattering under the steering wheel that may be a symptom before this started happening. It sounds a lot like the recall for other Accords on the control module. Either way, the car should not be actuating the locks when accelerating from a slowing or braking situation. This is not normal and could be life threatening if in an accident.

Another occurrence one week later on Saturday October 11th when car went into limp mode again driving around 35 mph in the city. Both cases I turned the car off and on and returned back to normal, come to find out with the dealer it is a blown head gasket and their is coolant leaking into cylinder 3. A BLOWN HEADGASKET!!!!!

Emissions system problems see dealer light came on took to autozone reading stated turbocharger but light went off. Later all warning lights came on so took to dealership they advised turbocharger as well. After for weeks no light no longer on. More recently emissions system problems light started coming on and off, but this time it will go days without being on then will turn on or it can be on when I first start driving then later it's no longer on. I also had issue with all lights coming on again went to autozone got brake fluid since it was low and they went off. I feel it maybe issue of faulty sensory due to fact car drives fine and light doesn't stay on consistently. I also see Honda currently has proposed class actions for defected turbochargers so wonder if that issue with my car.

Subject: Request for Recall Due to Persistent Dashboard Warnings and Engine Malfunction Dear [Manufacturer Honda] / NHTSA, I am writing to formally report a serious issue with my vehicle. All of the warning lights on the dashboard remain illuminated and do not turn off. Additionally, the vehicle occasionally becomes undriveable, unable to accelerate beyond 5 miles per hour. I was informed that the problem is related to the engine. I brought the car to a dealership for inspection, but they refused to repair the issue because the vehicle had just passed 40,000 miles. They stated that the warranty no longer covers the repair, despite the severity of the malfunction. After doing research and speaking with other vehicle owners, I have learned that this issue is not unique to my car. It appears to be a widespread problem affecting many vehicles of the same make and model across the United States. Given the safety risks and the number of affected vehicles, I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and consider issuing a recall. Owners should not be left responsible for costly repairs when the problem is clearly a recurring defect. Thank you for your time and attention.

When the fuel tank was at 1/4 full/empty, the car started stalling on the highway. We were able to go to a gas station and filled the gas tank. The problem was gone. We went to our mechanic but he could not find the problem. A few day's later the gas tank was 1/2 full/empty and the same problem happened. We filled it up and the problem was gone. We went back to our shop and the mechanic did a diag but didn't find any fault codes. He advised to go to the Honda dealer to take a look at it.

The engine is stalling and won’t go over 20 mph. I’m lucky if it gets to 40 . There’s a recall on my car, but my van is not covered underneath it. Looking to see if this can be looked into since so many people I have spoken to says that that’s what they’re experiencing until they got the recall fixed

I was headed to work going 40-45mph, as I was going I felt my car shift out and my speed dropped to 25 automatically. My engine light popped up FLASHING. I could not accelerate my car above 25, leaving me late for work, I had to turn my hazard lights on so people could know something was wrong but I could have been hit from behind. My car did not give me any notifications from my car on the issue it could be having like usually, (oil change, tire rotation, spark plugs, etc.) After cranking my car again a few hours later, I noticed a difference in how it is cranking up. Honda dealership is wanting 150 to even look at the car for a possibility of repairs. I need to know exactly why it is happening and why a recall is not open if I have spoken to multiple people and they are having the same issues, all within this year.

I am an 81 years old widow and am very afraid to drive my new 2020 Honda Accord. I am regularly experiencing an ongoing intermittent issue where my car stalls for no apparent reason. I've taken it to the Honda garage where I purchased it two times and no one seems to be able to satisfactorily address this concern. The first time I reported it to the shop (4/24/24), the technician didn't even pull it into the garage to investigate it. I assumed they would hook it to some diagnostic device and see if the cars computer would have some record of the fault. Instead, he jumped in, pushed some buttons relating to the lane keeping system (?) and claimed that would fix it, but it did not. I continue to experience the same problems. One example is when I take my car to the car wash, it stalls at the end and starts beeping. No matter what car wash I go to, it's the same awful experience, where they must shut down their equipment and come out to help me get the car restarted so as to get me out of the way and let everyone else out who are now stuck behind me (Very frightening and embarrassing). I've also had the car shut off after hitting some small potholes. It will shut down and requires a few attempts to get it restarted from the middle of the road!again - I then took it back to the Honda garage where I purchased it for a 2nd time (6/3/24) and for some other routine maintenance. This time they told me that maybe it was caused by my Toll-Road EZ-Pass which was mounted to my windshield near the rear view mirror. As you may imagine, I'm beginning to think the reason for the inability to address the issue is either intentional, incompetence, or perhaps I have a lemon..

Malfunctioning fuel injectors causing misfires stem from a known issue with faulty fuel injectors; a problem widely reported across multiple Honda models equipped with the 1.5-liter turbocharged direct injection engine. Notably, the Honda CR-V (2019–2023), Civic (2019–2022), and Accord (2018–2022) have all been consistently linked to fuel injector failures. The most serious safety concern associated with this defect is the potential for sudden throttle changes, which can trigger the check engine light, cause the engine to lose drive power, hesitate, or even stall—all of which significantly increase the risk of a crash or injury.

This engine has been so poorly designed it leaks coolant Into the engine system. I am extremely frustrated and disgusted with the dealership and Honda for knowing these engines are defective yet still producing/selling them. We pay hard earned money for something so unreliable it’s actually insane. I don’t want to be nasty about it but someone needs to say something.

I LEASED MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO, I HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY OLD CAR SO I WANTED A BRAND NEW CAR THAT WAS RELIABLE AND SAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. IN THE FIRST MONTHS THE CAR WAS FINE BUT AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS THE CAR WOULD SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT FOR MAINTENANCE AS THE CAR SYSTEM DIRECTED BUT THE REPAIR SHOP NEVER SAID THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. A MONTH OR SO PAST AND ONE DAY I GOT IN THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WERE IN. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW CAR AND NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOULD OF BEEN ON. I TOOK IT TO HONDA REPAIR SERVICES AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT A MOUSE WENT IN MY ENGINE AND CHEWED SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS 1700 WHICH IS EXTREMELY OUTRAGEOUS PRICES TO ME. ANYWAY I WAS AT HOSPITAL AT WORK AND I GOT THE CALL FROM THE MECHANIC SAYING I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT WASN'T A FACTORY DEFAULT. SO I WENT HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCHING AND I FOUND OUT HONDA HAD BEEN USING SOYBEAN IT PEANUT BUTTER OIL TO LUBE THE WIRING, AND THAT'S WHAT ATTRACTS RODENTS TO YOUR ENGINE. IT ALSO STARTED THAT HONDA WIRE PROTECTION TAPE WAS OUT OF STOCK BECAUSE SOME MANY CUSTOMERS HAD THERE CAR WIRES EATEN BY RODENTS. SO I WAS SO PISSED OFF THAT I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, WHY WOULD HONDA PUT PARTS OR USE OILS IN THE CAR ENGINE THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. THIS TO ME IS, UNFAIR TO HONEST HARD WORKING CUSTOMERS THAT PAY HONDA THERE MONEY EXPECTING TO HAVE A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE.NOW I JUST FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED SMOKING OUT THE EXHAUST PIPES ONCE AGAIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA.

On the morning of Nov 1, 2022, I was driving on an open rural highway in cool, clear weather with no other vehicles on the road. Suddenly I heard an explosive crashing sound followed immediately by the sound of broken glass falling. I was afraid to stop right there because a few years ago, there were several vehicles hit by rifle fire not far from me in northern Colorado. As I drove, I felt a little air flow, as if a back window was partly open. When I came to a parking lot for a hiking trailhead, there were other vehicles in the lot and I felt safe to pull over. Examination showed that the sunroof on my car had shattered. Luckily, I had the sunscreen closed, or I would have gotten a face full of broken glass while traveling 55 mph. I reported to the sheriff. We tried to imagine what could have happened. I actually wondered if a random piece of meteorite had fallen from the sky, but there was no foreign object along with the broken glass. I filed an insurance claim. The damage has been repaired. I was not injured, but certainly shaken up because of the close call. Later I learned that other sunroofs have shattered spontaneously. I believe there should be a safety recall.

Driving slowly down a residential street during daylight hours and suddenly there was a loud noise and the passenger side side view mirror exploded. There wasn’t an accident of any kind - the car had not come inti contact with anything and there was no other damage except the actual glass part of the mirror was completely gone. There were no scratches or other damage to the rest of the mirror assembly or the car and no evidence that anyone had thrown anything at the car. The car was driven immediately to the Honda dealer and they insisted that there must have been an accident and refused to cover the damage. A brief internet search revealed others with the same make and model had experienced the exact same thing. I strongly believe this is a manufacturing defect and it is a safety issue because the sound of the explosion was startling and there was broken glass flying around and now the car side view mirror is missing.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated the passenger’s side front windshield was distorted and replaced by dealer. The replacement windshield is worse than the original. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the windshield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted but, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 3,731. On January of 2021 I called again and was told that my case had been closed. I asked that the case be reopened. On February 9, 2022, dealer said that Honda refuses to replace the windshield and that I have no recourse.

Good Morning, I have new Honda Accord 2020 which always been taken care of regular services and oil changes etc. This morning I tried to start my car going to work but suddenly all brake related warning signs came off.

Electrical drain in system causing premature battery failure and electrical misfiring that causes the car to shut off and flashing a brake warning message to contact dealer and once this occurs car won’t start until Honda link and hands free pairing are reconnected. Issue is if the misfiring drains the battery, driver is not able to reconnect the cars apps and pair the Bluetooth, therefore, car is not will be immobile until battery is recharged.

I am writing this letter to complaint about a major defect for my vehicle as the Honda dealership located at 1036 Jericho Turnpike , Huntington NY doesn’t want to resolve as the vehicle is still under the manufactory warranty. The defect / problem involves the emergency brake release switch located in the center console area . I reported the defect / problem and hoped that Honda would honor the manufactory warranty under 36, 000 mile policy to replace an or repair any defects without cost to the consumer . However I was informed that payment in the amount of seven hundred and fifty dollars would be needed to resolve / repair the problem/ defect. I was told that the clip that hold the switch/ device to the center comnsole were broken and it is the current owner problem to resolve as it not covered. Just imagine how could I be responsible for a broken clip , when you look at the picture its clearly not a owner error but rather a defect in the workmanship to properly secure switch to the console . I want Honda to honor the under 36, 000 mile manufactory warranty policy and fix this problem without having me as a consumer to pay . Attached are the pictures of the emergency switch resisting inside the center console as no visible damage to the supporting outside structure .

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2020 HONDA ACCORD EX. WE HAVE DRIVEN IT ABOUT 3200 MILES IN THE 3 MONTHS WE OWNED IT. DURING THAT TIME IT HAS SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL 3 TIMES WHEN MY WIFE, WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT NORMAL SPEEDS, LIGHTLY BRUSHED THE SHIFTER WHILE ADJUSTING A CONTROL ON THE DASH OR ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE THIRD TIME SHE ATTEMPTED TO QUICKLY SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE AND BECAUSE THE LOCK IS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE SHIFT KNOB IT WAS DEPRESSED AND SHE WENT PAST DRIVE INTO SUPER (LOW GEAR); THE LOWER GEAR SLOWED THE CAR VERY ABRUPTLY (AND, OF COURSE DID SO WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS) AND SHE WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE ARE CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE.

Just like the 2018 Accord in Still Night Pearl (addressed in TSB 21-087), the paint has peeled and failed on the roof line by the rear glass. Called Honda, they don't care to address ANY vehicles with this KNOWN paint defect any longer. Now we have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to get it resolved or the steel will start to rust. Will NEVER purchase a Honda ever again.

I WAS ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR WITH KEYS IN MY POCKET. I LEFT THE CAR AC RUNNING AS IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY AND I KNEW IT WOULD TAKE ME TWO MINUTES TO GRAB SOME FRESH CUCUMBERS. I GO THERE TWICE OR THREE TIMES A WEEK. WHEN I WAS IN THE STORE , I HEARD THE STORE OWNER WHO IS SITTING BY HIS HOUSE BY THE STORE STARTED SCREAMING SAYING YOUR CAR IS ROLLING. I LOOKED BACK AND SAW THE CAR DROVE FORWARD AND COLLIDED WITH THE STORE FRONT. MY CAR WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE, IT MOVED FORWARD WITH ITS OWN. NOW I AM AFRAID TO MY DEATH TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD IF WE WERE STRAIGHT AHEAD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE SO THAT IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, INSTANCES LIKE THIS CAN BE PREVENTED AND POTENTIALLY LIFE CAN BE SAVED.

Upon removing the driver seat belt after a trip today, I noticed the buckle release button was sticking down. I re-inserted the buckle, and heard the "click" sound indicating the buckle was securely fastened. I applied tension on the belt buckle, which released without pressing the button! I searched the internet for recalls, and found the 2018-2019 Honda Accord was recalled for a seat belt release button repair. However, there was no information about a recall for the 2020 model year, which I experienced this issue with. My safety has been put at risk as I am unsure how long the belt buckle has been able to be removed without pressing the buckle release button. I have not yet contacted Honda about the concern. A video is available and this issue is repeatable. There were no warning messages. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at 25 MPH, the front driver's side air bag, the front passenger's side air bag, and the knee air bags were deployed unintendedly. Additionally, there was a significant amount of chemical smoke inside the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that she depressed the brake pedal to stop and exit the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled for 30-40 seconds and stopped after hitting a bicycle pole. The contact stated that the front passenger's side seat was occupied by an adult and the rear seats were occupied by an adult and a baby in the car seat when the failure occurred. The passengers sustained body aches and ringing ears but did not seek medical assistance. The contact stated that she parked the vehicle, and then all the passengers and she exited the vehicle for a moment. No police report was filed. The contact then drove to the residence. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed and repaired under warranty; however, the dealer informed the contact that they would not service the vehicle under warranty because they believed the air bags deployed due to an impact. The dealer then towed the vehicle to an autobody repair shop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V064000(Air Bags), which she related to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

Brake system light keeps coming on
Mar 06, 2025
While early driving in early December 2021 in my almost new car (7000+ miles) most all the lighted problems that could occur with an old vehicle lit up like a Christmas tree on the dashboard. Most of the items may or may not have actually quit working but their problem lights stayed on. Still it is no fun driving without cruise when your wife has breast cancer and you have have to drive 3 hours each way to Gainesville, Florida for treatment. I assume all the warning lights functions still worked, but it is hard to tell if things like the brakes were pr were not working when driving as they seemed to work fine. So I soon afterwards took the car into the dealer on December 11, 2021 in Leesburg, Florida. But by this time all the dash lights remained off as they are supposed to. So all they did was change the oil and did non-compliance recall BMC software update 20-039 and BGCM software update. The reason I brought the car in was not specified on my invoice. However, The dealer did say that my transponder for the EZ highway system was blocking the camera on the mirror. I believed them. Since then, however, today all the cash lights again said they were crashing again just before a 2-hour drive to the Gainesville cancer hospital. Upon return the lights went back to normal. I don't believe Honda dealers know what the problem is or why it continues in many millions of similar Hondas. My research on the Internet found at different complaints about said dashboard lights crashing causing similar problems. Most of these complaints had the dealers fix "the problem" and charging fees but again the customers reported do-over same problems.

The vehicle's transmission stalls when trying to accelerate, causing unnecessary RPM fluctuations. While going downhill with the brakes applied, the RPM gauge spikes pass 4000 RPM causing the car to accelerate rather than slow down. when this occurs, extra pressure has to be applied onto the breaks to slow vehicle down. If enough space isn't given to the car Infront, pressing the break will cause a crash. Accelerating too fast on the highway will cause blown head gasket if transmission is stalling. This seems like a common issue with 1.5L engine & Honda's CVT transmission as other owners has been through similar issue & proven by independent service center. I've taken the vehicle to different dealer for inspection. only recommendation is transmission fluid change. Dealers refuse to do anything regarding the actual issue at hand.

Purchased new 2020 Honda Accord on September 28, 2020. On October 13, 2020 I was pulling into a parking space at a retail store. Going 2 or 3 miles per hour with foot on brake turning into space on my right with steering wheel turned to the right. Suddenly engine roared and car would not stop even with my foot firmly on the brake until it hit a pole. I have since learned it is called unintended acceleration. After crash I drove car to another parking spot. Car was in park and I was on the phone and all of a sudden engine roared - same sound when crash occurred. Honda sent their investigator out and told me all car functions were ok. Car was repaired for $7000.00 On June 1, 2022 the same exact thing occurred as I was pulling into a parking spot on my right with steering wheel turned to the right. As the first incident engine suddenly roared and with my foot firmly on the brake car would not stop until it crashed into the store concrete wall. This car has something wrong with it. There are other stories out there with same story as people are parking the car. The car was towed to a collision shop and I am going to the Honda Dealer I purchased it from to insist this car is a danger to me and others and I cannot drive this any longer. I first wanted to report this before I did anything else.

Vehicle was initially inspected by dealer on 11/19/21with DTC U0401-92 - Temporary stop of integrated driver support system (rejected control request), also found U0416-68 VSA system malfunction. This issue happens every 1-3 thousand miles. Also with the CMS/braking system, it will alert "brake" on dash and brake hard if encountering repetitive shadows from objects that are cast onto the road. My safety and others safety were compromised due to hard braking and cars behind me that then had to brake, nearly rear-ending my car.

235/40R19 is the tire size. All 4 tires were purchased in October of 2021 and at that time the vehicle had 34,014 miles on it. I purchased the Firestone Firehawk tires model 004349 Firehawk AS BL XL 96V, with a 50k limited thread life warranty. Now, on 02/03/2023, I went in for my routine scheduled tire rotation and oil change and was advised I need all new 4 tires. The technician brought me to the vehicle and showed me that the sidewall in the side facing under the vehicle has major separation, cracking, and metal showing through along the time and bead/sidewalk of the tire. This damage was on all four tires and at multiple areas along the rim base. The technician said he never seen tires do this on all four at the same time but offered no explanation as to how or why this happened. All they could do was prorate the existing thread life warranty but nothing else. I explained to the technician that this wasn’t a thread life issue and it was a major defect in these tires to separate and crack like they did on all four tires. I told him this could have caused a 4 tire blowout and was a huge safety concern that needed to be addressed with Firestone corporation. Nonetheless, they brushed it off and offered new tires or I could take the car like it was and go elsewhere. I again told them these tires were only 16 months old and 38k miles on them and that they should not have failed like they did, especially not all 4 at the same time. One tire I could understand, but all four of the same brand tire installed at the same time failed. So with no real other options to go elsewhere, as it was already past 5pm on a Friday and I lived an hour away, I had no choice but to purchase tires there, as my safety and the safety of others around me could be seriously injured or killed if I left driving on those damaged tires. I’ve included pictures of two of the tires as they had already lowered the car down so I couldn’t take the other 2. Both invoices are attached as well.

Additionally, the contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light or while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle was vibrating. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact had stopped driving the vehicle. The contact stated that prior to the instrument cluster failure, the low-pressure tire monitor warning light was intermittently illuminated. The tire pressures were checked; however, there was no indication of a tire pressure being low. The contact had also felt the vehicle vibrating, but it was not as noticeable as until recently.

I noticed a loud grinding noise and reduced braking power coming from my 2020 Honda Accord while driving at normal city speeds. A local mechanic inspected it and found that the rear brake caliper was sticking and causing premature wear. I contacted Honda service, but they refused to cover the cost or inspect it under goodwill, even though similar issues have been reported with other Honda models. This issue puts my safety at risk as braking is compromised and steering becomes harder. The problem was confirmed by a local certified mechanic and is available for inspection if needed.

1 complaint
During a forward-side lane departure collision in my 2020 Honda Accord, the Body Control Module (BCM), forward collision radar system, braking assist, and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSI) all failed to activate. As a result, the vehicle did not brake, warn, or stabilize before impact. The airbags also failed to deploy during the crash. My safety and the safety of others were put at serious risk, as the vehicle did not respond as designed despite being equipped with these systems. The car is now undrivable but available for inspection. This issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer due to the car's condition, but similar failures have been reported in other 2020 Honda Accords already under recall. The insurance company did not request vehicle data and did not inspect the systems. There were no warning lamps, alerts, or messages prior to the failure; the malfunction occurred without notice. I am requesting that this vehicle be added to the existing recall list related to BCM and safety system failures.

My blinker won't appear on the dash. My trunk won't open. My back up camera won't come on at all. Can't adjust my exterior lights, stuck on the dimmest setting and can't change. Lights will also flicker and I have no control over it. My radio screen told me to enter a code but wouldn't allow me to. My break system light was on. There is warning reading adaptive cruise control see dealer, automatic emergency braking see dealer, lane departure warning see dealer. Doors locked and unlocked while driving. Air condition wasn't blowing the temperature it said, and acting as it was on low when it was on the highest setting. It is available for inspection upon request. I brought my car into a Honda dealership today. My car had to stay overnight because they were unable to address the problem. There were no prior problems or warnings beforehand. All these problems first appeared when I started my car for the first time on November 14, 2024. These put myself and others at risk because the doors locked and unlocked which could have caused us to get trapped in. The lights not working put me at risk at night because I could not see the road that good.

The 1st thing that happened was that all the components of ADAS stopped working in the spring of 2023. All the warning lights turned on in the middle of my commute home from work. It was very intimidating because I thought the car was going to stall in the middle of the highway, so pulled over to the side. I contacted Honda dealership and they were going to charge me to diagnose the problem. So I went to Autozone and it diagnosed my problem as "System too rich (Bank 1)". I went to an independent mechanic and they had the same warning on their machine as Autozone. They tried replacing an oxygen sensor, that did not work in getting rid of the problem with all my warning lights turning on. Again the ADAS component lights turned on and the system did not work. The next thing they did was replace 4 fuel injectors. I have not had any issues with my car since concerning this problem with fuel too rich.

10 months after purchasing my vehicle from the dealership, all lights illuminated on the dash, it goes through each warning every time you crank. This would not go away. I took it to the honda dealership during a recall and they said they could not find the problem. Suddenly this week, after owning this car for 2 years and being told the issue could not be found, and only 90,000 miles, the car made a sudden stop on the road almost causing an accident. The car would not move forward or reverse. We had to have it towed to a dealership and waiting to hear issue. This is an extreme hazard! And I may be stuck with a costly bill once again, with no resolution.

This is the third Accord I've owned, and none of them have been issue-free, but this one (2020) is the worst. I bought this car in March of 2021 with only 6 miles on it. Within a week it started to throw occasional notifications, which I called the dealership and asked about. They assured me that it was just a hiccup and to bring it in for a factory reset. They performed this reset, and the car appeared to be fine after that. BUT - Less than two weeks later, it started showing the four LKAS/CMBS lights and dash prompts - brake system problem, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation braking system, and adaptive cruise control system 'problems', each saying 'see your dealer'. Made an appointment to bring it back in, and on my way to the dealership - having the car for only one month at this point - I was rear-ended by a pick-up truck at the red light turning onto the dealership street (he admitted he wasn't paying attention). Long story short, the car was repaired, Honda factory specs were (supposedly) restored, set and verified, and my car was returned to me. It was fine until about another month later, when it started to show the alerts again - more frequently than before. Contacted the dealer again, asked for troubleshooting assistance again, and they said they were booked. I took this time to look for this issue on-line, and found many incidents of other Accord owners experiencing these same issues plus several others (of which I also had a few - namely, the fuel delivery system frequently acting like it is running out of gas) - most saying no matter how long the service shop had their car, the issue did not get fixed. NOT ONE. I could not afford to be without my car for an extended period of time, so I continued my research, seeing that none of the owners got resolution by the dealers, so I resolved to just 'live with the issues' as the actual car drove fine (except for the fuel issue). It happens every day.

LANE DEPARTURE
1 complaint
The lane departure has two separate problems with both happen frequently, these are not one-time problems. 1. The system seems to pull the vehicle in the wrong direction. For example, if you the car starts to deft to the left, and makes contact with the left lane line, it feels like the pressure exerted on the steering wheel, or the drivetrain itself, actually pulls the vehicle further left. This has the completely opposite effect of what is intended. This is not 100% of the time. Sometimes lane departure does nude the vehicle back towards the center of the lane as expected. 2. The vehicle cannot safely determine lane markings. It frequently mistakes tar lines on the road as a lane line and attempts to correct the vehicle's course. The vehicle also does not know how new lanes/ending lanes work. It will often see a new lane line, from a lane newly added to the road (like when a lane splits into two), as a lane departure and will direct the vehicle to one of the two lanes regardless of driver steering. Each time this happens I have to be aware and manually steer the car where I want to go, fighting against the lane departure system. The car is available for inspection and has not been inspected by Honda.

Driving on a two lane highway suburban area - 40 miles per hour in a 40 mph speed limit. No cars in front of me for at lease 1/2 mile - totally blank and clear road. A pick up truck behind me. Very little traffic. Suddenly without warning and knowing my foot is on the accelerator, the car brakes to a complete stop with no foot on the brake pedal! Complete random braking for no reason. Luckily the vehicle behind me was far enough and not too close which allowed him to swerve and avoid colliding into me. He passed me and probably thought I was crazy. I called Honda and they told me to bring it in which I did. They performed many tests in all areas and advised they could not locate anything wrong. I know there is an ongoing investigation with Honda Accords and dangerous random breaking, thus the reason for this incident to be documented. The general manager of the dealership was in touch with me and advised he would be doing some research. I could easily have been killed if not for quick thinking of the vehicle behind me, and also luckily no car in front of me. What do you advise? This is extremely disconcerting to know it could happen again.

The brake system failed. I received an error message indicating "electric parking brake system problem. Parking break not available. See your dealer". All of the ABS messages, cruise control, etc. appear and say, "see your dealer". My safety was put at risk because the break automatically starts without me even pushing the break. This happens without any given notice and appears before the message occurs. This happens while vehicles are behind me on main roads and also happens while on the highway going a high rate of speed (speed limit). There is nothing that can be done to stop it manually.

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE WILL SEEM TO LACK RESPONSE AND THE CAR WILL DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT ONLY TO HAVE CONTROL REGAINED VIA A NOTCHY LIGHT JOLT OF THE WHEEL. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN DESCRIBED BY 2018-2020 ACCORD OWNERS AS A NOTCH AND/OR FLAT SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY ROADS. I CONSISTENTLY HAVE THIS OCCUR WHEN DRIVING FOR MORE THSN 5 OR TEN MINUTES ON ANY OPEN ROAD. DOES NOT SEEM TO NOTICEABLE IN LOCAL DRIVING. I DO NOTICE THIS WITHIN 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (WALDORF HONDA) AND THEY DID A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE BALANCE OF THE TIRES. THIS HAD NO EFFETC FOR THE PROBLEM AND I NOTICED IT HAPPENING AGAIN IMMEDIATELY UPON DRIVING ON AN PEN HIGHWAY AGAIN. I'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 20 SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB-SITE FROM 2018-2020 MODELS, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO SUCH BULLETIN OR RECALL IS DOCUMENTED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PRIMARILY A HIGHWAY ISSUE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH, BUT I EVEN FEEL THE NOTCHY STEERING ON SMOOTH SINGLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS THAT AT 40-50MPH. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFINITE CAR SFAETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIFTS AND THE DRIVER FIGHTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. ESPECIALLY CONCERNING WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR SLICK CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO HIGH-SPEED SWERVING TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE ROAD.

FROM OCT 10 TO OCT 14, I PARKED MY CAR AT OFF AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 5DAYS. WHEN I CAME BACK, MY CAR DIDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE REASON WHY MY CAR DIDN'T START IS DUE TO BAD GAS. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, WHERE I PUMPED MY GAS LAST TIME BEFORE I FLEW OUT OF ATL, TO CHECK WITH THEM. THEY PROVIDED ME A COPY OF THE SYSTEM STATUS REPORT OF 10/9/20 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT #3 CYLINDER IS FULL OF WATER; THEY SAID THEY COULD GET A FUEL SAMPLE ONCE I AUTHORIZED THEM TO WORK ON THE FUEL TANK REMOVAL AND CLEANING. ONCE THEY PROCEEDED, THEY STATED THEY FOCUSED ON CLEANING THE SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE WHICH LED THEM TO FIND OUT THERE IS INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD STOP UNTIL MY INSURANCE COMPANY CHECKS THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY TOOK MULTIPLE FUEL SAMPLES AND DID NOT SEE WATER BUT THERE WAS WATER FILLED IN THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. THEY HAVE ASKED ME IF THE CAR WAS IN A FLOOD, BUT THERE WAS NO MASSIVE RAIN OR STORM WHICH FLOODED THE AREA. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTABLE REPAIR AS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH SOUNDED QUESTIONING. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OIL AND FUEL TANK, THEN THE ONLY WAY THAT WATER CAN GET INTO THE ENGINE IS MANUALLY POURING LOTS OF WATER THROUGH AIR INTAKE, WHICH ALSO SOUNDS RIDICULOUS AS I HAVE NEVER TOUCHED IT NOR THERE WAS NO TRACE OF SOMEONE TRYING TO OPEN MY HOOD FROM INSIDE AND PUTTING WATER. AFTER I EXPLAINED TO THEM, THEY SAID THEY STILL CANNOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THERE IS WATER, BUT IT CANNOT BE WARRANTABLE REPAIR. IF THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CLEAR CAUSE OF THE ISSUES, HOW CAN THEY STRONGLY CONFIRM IT IS NOT DUE TO MANUFACTURER ISSUES?
