On 12-7-2023 I was driving home from work and all of a sudden my car started sputtering and slowing down until it stopped completely in heavy evening traffic. It would not restart so I had it towed. I had a mechanic check it out and he said it was the fuel pump.
Steering, Electrical system, Service brakes, Jan 13, 2024
Vehicle ABS malfunctioning making some dashboard lights come on. A bunch of random codes in the readers makes it hard to identify the issue. Codes are not specific and a bunch of other components need to be tested/replaced before realizing the actual main issue causing the owner spend a ridiculous amount of money and time. Only dissappear if ABS module is replaced which is hard to find(up to two years of wait) unless bought used which also comes with the same risk of failing prematurely. This problem messes up with the vehicle traction in raw weather conditions, as well as braking, steering, and overall safety of the occupants.

Driving at highway speed and sunroof glass spontanious exploded. Wasn't under any over passes or behind any vehicles. Luckily, I had the inside cover closed or I would've gotten shards of glass on my head and face while I was driving.
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 27, 2023
Several instances where my 2017 Honda accord loses power or performance. Two instances are (1) stopped at traffic light and when I hit the gas to pull off it moved but would not do anything after that. The engine was on but no power. Thankfully I was close to a parking lot. The car rolled into the parking lot and a few the cut off on me. The 2nd time I was driving down the road, felt a little jolt and once again the car loss performance and I had to guide it to the side of the road.
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 23, 2023
I was driving on the interstate when the car started to sputter like it was about to kill then several warning lights came on. The check engine light, the steering light and the road traction lights. I got off on the nearest exit and call the tow truck because I was afraid to drive it. It was hesitant to start. I had my new born grandson and daughter with me at the time. This was a very scary situation!

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle delayed starting.

The contact was able to park the vehicle. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH with the hazard lights, the vehicle was stalling. The contact pulled to the side of the road. The contact then drove to an independent mechanic at slow speeds. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the fuel rail pressure was significantly low.

Multiple safety lights on dash including brakes, ABS, power steering, traction control. Multiple incidents where vehicle braking exceeded safety standards.
Electrical system, Dec 13, 2023
I had noticed a couple of weeks ago that I would try and start the car and it was struggling to start. Two weeks ago I tried to turn on my car and it would not start. I had to jump start it. I went out to run errands. I tried turning the car on again and it would not start. Once again I had to jump start it. Thinking it was the battery, I took it to O'Reilly's since it was still under warranty. The battery was good. They told me to take the car to run a scan. The scan showed no issues with the car. I googled what was happening to my car and I saw it's a common issue with these cars. Since the time I bought the car, I have already had to replace the battery 4 times which is odd because batteries last about 3 years and they are only lasting 1.5 years. As of today, it has been turning on but I can still hear it struggling to turn on.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 29, 2023
The high pressure fuel pump is failing on my 2017 honda accord. There is currently a recall for this issue on the 2017 honda accord v6 models but not mine. I was driving down the highway and my car went into safe mode causing the car to slow/power down and cause traffics issues. All of my warning lights came on alerting me that there was a problem. This affects the safety of others and puts everyone at risk.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 26, 2023
Very soon after purchasing this car in June, the check engine light came on. The problem was eventually determined to be with the fuel tank. I was told by the dealership that the tank was leaking fumes. They told me the problem was a known issue with this model. The part had been redesigned but neither the original or redesigned part are available. We have been waiting for several months for a replacement part. I was told that others are waiting as well and there is no information on a date for repair. My son continues to drive the car but we are concerned about the safety of gas fumes leaking out of the car

1) ABS Module 2) ABS break is not working. So it puts myself and others at risk. 3) Yes. 4) N/A 5) It has traction control, steering wheel, and ABS lights on. It appeared when the vehicle hits 70k. Honda should do a recall on this issues. This is a wide known issues for 9th gen Honda Accord owners
Forward collision avoidance, Oct 20, 2023
On October 14, 2023, several lights came on after starting the car up, including the ABS light. This had not happened before. We had just had the car serviced for an oil change 2 weeks prior. We called friend who was a mechanic to see what we should do. Not long after we had reached out, we had a situation where we pulled out of our neighborhood and someone illegally turned in front of us almost hit us head-on. The only reason it didn't occur is because I put on breaks very quickly and stopped our car. We took my car to have to lights assessed today and found out that the lights came on due to the ABS Modulator going bad. We also found out that they do not have the part and that it's on backorder. That it has been this way for a year or so. After talking to the technicians and doing research, this issue with the part has been a problem for Honda Accords 2013-2017 and many question if this should be on recall. I can think of reasons why Honda has not address this issue, but this could be a huge lawsuit if someone were to have this issue and not be able to replace this part, as could be us but we are fortunate that my brakes work last weekend. Please give this some attention and follow up with Honda. This part and replacement is also very expensive, amounting to around $2300 for most who had it done. And it also seems to happen for most people reporting around 85,000 miles. Thank you for reading this and I hope to get some attention to this issue for myself but also for other. I would hate for someone to die and for this to become a huge issue for Honda.

Carplay freezes or disconnects randomly when in use. Will be driving with navigation is frozen so would be driving past destination and cause a distraction trying to fix it. Or it will randomly disconnect when in use and will keep my eyes of road trying to connect it again or hold my phone while navigating. Honda states there is no update to the system to resolve it or anything they can do, directs people to phone company regarding their system. Phone company states they cant do anything about it. Have read multiple forums with others complaining and no solution.
