I am experiencing a Honda door lock actuator malfunction. There was an awarded class action lawsuit regarding this recall in 2019. The first time I took it to Honda, but they were unable to replicate the intermittent malfunction and could not further assist me. I have shown them recorded videos of the issue, which can’t be used for diagnoses however, photos and videos can be submitted for evidentiary purposes and for health care treatment. At drop off even the staff member who checked my vehicle in had to climb through the drivers seat to unlock the passenger door. I took it again a second time, and they are only able to replace one actuator since it’s not not operable while it’s an issue with all my doors intermittently. I have taken leave from work to ensure repair. I have to pay deductibles each time until all the doors are resolved.

Supplemental restraint system warning populates in dash board. The vehicle was examined and said the issue lies with passenger seat of 2019 Honda Accord. I have readon to believe this is a safety issue in the event of accident to passenger relating to restraint and release of air bag. Dashboard lights without a passenger present. Suggested to check for recall. Less than 40,000 miles on vehicle and no accident history. This is a safety concern.

Had rattling noise coming inside the driver door. Took it to local dealership. Said that the adhesive came off the safety support beam of the door. Told me that they can’t do anything about it, and recommended me to go to an auto body shop. Went to three different shops that all had the same answers: We can’t put adhesive on and put it back together since the piece is a safety structure of the car. They refuse to fix it has one of the shops explained, it would make them liable for any injuries involved in an accident for the beam failing to support the safety structure of the door. Another explains that this a safety defect from the manufacturer, and that the whole door must be replaced for safety regulations. So I decided to take the car back to the dealership, explaining it to the dealers. They still refused to do anything about it, saying that they won’t don’t anything about it, and try finding a place that will glue it back together or do it yourself.

TCM Gauge control error indicated on dash, also indicated on dash: ACC Adaptive cruise control system problem, collision mitigation breaking system problem, road departure mitigation system problem.

Car drifts to left in any lane while driving on highway. You have to hold the wheel firmer to the right to keep it straight at highway speeds than on local roads. Was not like this new, but with 35K miles something is wrong. Alignment done by two different Honda Dealers who had different print outs from a Hunter Alignment Machine. Second dealer’s helped some but you get a arm workout driving this car and unsafe for my wife to drive.

I started my car this morning and I got a message saying Supplemental Passenger Error contact the dealer. Also, this car once a week will brake like if another car is in front of me on a busy highway I travel going home from work. This will cause someone to have a heartache especially when there is a big rig coming at speed behind you. Please look into these problems!

On 01-31-2023 at 5pm my Accord (2019, 27k miles) experienced a limp mode condition on the Highway forcing me to pull over onto the shoulder and restart the car. I was traveling for 4+ hours in rain / misting rain on the way to North Carolina for a business trip. I went to pass a slow moving vehicle, and the car’s check engine light began to flash 2 seconds after I hit the accelerator. The car’s check engine light began to flash and the car would not exceed 40mph, indicating it had entered a limp mode condition. This forced me to pull over onto the shoulder. After a restart, the car performed as normal with no CEL. I took the car to Advance Auto parts to see if the ECU captured any codes - 3 “pending” codes were stored - P0300 random misfire, P0301 Cylinder 1 misfire, P0304 Cylinder 4 misfire. I took the car to Shockley Honda in Frederick MD on 02/06/2023 and the pending codes had cleared / a diagnosis of possible traction control engagement was given - I am 100% certain this was the check engine light / limp mode, and that this is an incorrect diagnosis. Honda has a TSB for this exact issue: https://www.driveaccord.net/attachments/a21-052-pdf.531063/ Additionally I have dash camera footage to collaborate my account of events, including the event occurring; pulling over on the side of the road; and the trip to advance auto, where you can hear me reading the codes Car entering limp mode on highway: https://youtu.be/1E9RKIH-MnM Drive to advance auto: https://youtu.be/esqrADVXfsA Reading codes: https://youtu.be/5fN10jBiChw Multiple other owners have experienced similar issues in similar weather conditions in their 2.0T Accords https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/check-engine-light-cel-in-the-rain-went-into-limp-mode.502130/page-11 This incident lead to unsafe vehicle operation through a loss of power scenario in adverse weather. Honda customer service and the dealer have so far failed to address the issue in the TSB per my insistence.

Is Honda ever going to correct their air conditioning issues? This is the second vehicle from Honda that I’ve purchased brand new that has a/c issues in under a year. The first time, I just stuck it out and sweated to death in my car until my lease ended, now I can’t do that for the safety of my children while living in the Deep South. It’s incredibly dangerous for drivers to sit in a hot car- even if the windows are down.

I have had several times where the "BRAKE" alert comes on the dash and the car brakes and will not excel. Note.. this happens when there is absolutely NOTHING in front of me. This is apparently a common issue as I am seeing that many people have reported this. I have reached out to my dealer with this however, because it does it when it wants to and not all the time, they have not been able to see it happen or know why.

Travelling at approximately 47 mph, with nothing in front of me, the car's emergency braking system engaged completely unexpectedly, slamming my car to a stop. This caused a pick-up truck, to hit me from behind. The emergency brake light appeared at the exact same time as the car's emergency brakes applied. The driver of the other car confirmed there was nothing in front of me. The Honda dealer where I brought the car the next day stated there was nothing wrong with the camera or radar system. This failure caused an accident, and could have been much worse.
Air bags, Jan 2, 2023
Airbag light came on two times (December 21 @4:38 pm & 29 @10:41 am 2022) and each time vehicle was taken in for service. The warning lights comes on & it reads, "supplemental restraint system problem, see your dealer". The mechanic believe it is due to a chip in the dashboard - they have not confirmed. A recall should be issued, because the orange indicator light stay lite and the reason for the "airbag indicator light" malfunction, needs to be addressed.

I have had (2) headlight assembly replacements on my Touring due to water infiltration into the housing causing obscurity of the beam. I am now having a third headlight assembly problem due to water infiltration. This is under standard wear conditions and no damage to the components. I've heard other drivers having the same issue. Honda is refusing to resolve the issue for me.

Forward collision avoidance, Dec 10, 2022
I saw that this is already under investigation by nhtsa and want to add my name to the list. The car randomly brakes at times for no reason which I find extremely dangerous. It's never caused an accident for me, but I've had at least a dozen near misses of being rear-ended. I've tried to turn off the automatic braking but it still randomly slams on the brakes by itself. This system needs to be disabled as it's just a ticking time bomb. Your form won't let me answer the questions so I'll do it here: Date: Always Speed: Any speed Mileage: Since I purchased the car new.

2019 Honda Accord LX I purchased this car late September in 2022 from Mclarty Honda in Little Rock, Ar with less than 25,000 miles. To date the brakes have locked up multiple times on my way to work for no reason whatsoever and I have a witness to every time. I would be driving down hwy46 headed to Sheridan, Ar and the brakes would engage for no reason and completely stop my car in the middle of the road. Nothing would be in the road for it to sense/detect or whatever to even need to apply the brakes. I recorded a video of the brakes smoking like my car was on fire just yesterday morning when i got to work. I’ve called the dealership multiple times and they have no response or reason for why my car is doing this, I have even scheduled it to be repaired two times and the dealership hasn’t been able to fix the problem and it pisses me off they are even able to sell such a piece of shit vehicle. The dealership along with honda should be held accountable, apparently they have known about this issue since 2015 and yet to do anything to correct the issue just swept it under the rug and left the consumer to deal with their problems. Whats even worse is Congress has made it a law that new vehicles are required to have this worthless piece of technology installed on each vehicle, smh like they have any clue what the American people want or need lol and why is it taking so long for NHSTA to get a response from Honda? This is ridiculous and the people who are in charge need to get off their butt and get something done for the people instead of their pocketbook. Real talk
