Turn signal and headlight assembly. Turn signal and headlight assembly intermittently not working. I believe there is a design flaw in the headlight assembly letting moisture build up causing the electronics to fail.

I had the recalled fuel pump replaced at Miller Honda in Winchester, VA on 6/17/21. Since hen, I have driven my car only 10,000 miles more. Yesterday, at Joe's Auto it was diagnosed my car needs the fuel pump replaced. Did Honda really fix the problem?

We own a Honda Accord with approximately 39,405 miles on it when we took it to the Bob Howard Honda Dealership located at 13201 North Kelley Oklahoma City, OK 73131 for repair/diagnosis on August 25, 2022. The failure of the Honda included every sensor displaying in the vehicle from emission to lane change, etc. The dealership stated that the only code they noticed was a low fuel pressure but there was no issue other than that and these new cars are sensitive to low gas in vehicles which they felt contributed to every emergency sensor warning displayed with safety issues. We picked vehicle back up and on August 27, 2022, my wife was stranded cause the vehicle just stopped and would not start again with the same codes as before. Just quit running while driving which was very unsafe for my wife. It took well over 3 hours waiting for vehicle to be towed cause HONDA doesn't have a shift release easily accessible on their ACCORD models when vehicle is unable to start and to be put in neutral cause it won't start. We had vehicle towed back to Bob Howard Honda and on Monday, August 29, 2022 they stated it needed a fuel pump which would cost around $1007.00. However, the fuel pumps are on back order with no timeframe for delivery and the warranty for this vehicle expired apparently at 36,000 miles. First off fuel pump should not have failed this soon for a brand new Honda Accord or any vehicle for that matter. This is a failure in manufacturing.

My car has stranded me 3 times by not cranking. I have taken it to Gerald JONES Honda 3 times and they claim they can’t find nothing in the codes. They told me sounds like a fuel pump but mind wasn’t covered under recall. I have on 25255 miles on car and shouldn’t be having these issues . I made a video to show them how it will not crank. I am trying to share video but it will not take.

Driving my 2019 Honda Accord on major Interstate at night when car suddenly brakes hard at 75 mph with no other vehicles or oblects around. The car's AEB/CMBS systems were on at the time of the hard breaking which occured twice with 3 minutes of each other. I was fortuanate no vehicles were behind us because we could have been seriously rear ended. I have contacted and notified the incident to the Honda Dealership I bought the car from, but no response yet within 5 hours since I called them. No issues with the car prior to the incident

For the past 3 years my car has started breaking on it’s own when there is no reason to. There are no cars or anything in front of me. It has been doing the breaking on it’s own more often and now is worrying me more. It once breaked me when i was on the interstate going 75! And other times when I’m in heavy traffic. I need something to be done about this. I don’t want to have my kids with me when this happens again and it causes an accident..I don’t need my car to cause an accident at all. Please let me know what will be done about this problem with my car. I can’t afford shop fees to get my car looked at. I am asking if this problem can please be fixed. Thank you. Have a good day.

The automatic braking system malfunctioned and started to brake for no reason, with no car in front and/or no other safety risk. Luckily there was no car behind me which most likely would have resulted in a rear end collision; which put myself and other at risk. The warning lamp on my dash was flashing brake as the vehicle was braking. I am afraid to drive the car due to safety concerns.

As I was driving down the interstate, it had been raining hard, but the speed had increased and we were going around 70-75, speed limit 70. I was in the far left lane when the lane all of a sudden was ending. I had to work my way over fast, so i kicked it to move over to the next lane, and when i did, I lost ALL power in the vehicle. I was terrified !! I did have enough speed to get over one lane but there was a lot of traffic and i had to get over another one to stop on the shoulder. It was close but we did get over and stop without causing an accident. If I had of hit someone or someone hit me, it would have been a multi car accident with all the traffic and probably someone being killed, including my husband and I. This needs to be investigate before someone is killed .

My car was initially at Performance Honda due to engine failure on June 24, 2022. They called on July 20, 2022 and confirmed that my car engine was repaired and I picked it up on July 20, 2022. Then on July 23, 2022, I incurred the same engine failures as noted by the warning and error lights on my display panel. The car started slowing down while I was on the expressway creating a safety hazard but I was able to drive it to Performance Honda. The manager explained that the car needed a turbo and they had to asked Honda to approve the purchase to install it into my car. I dont know if the turbo is new or used or even under warranty but Performance Honda contacted me on August 8 and said again the engine was repaired. I've read where there are other owners experiencing similar issues. My car was still within warranty of my purchase date July 17, 2019 and the repairs were made under the warranty but I still incurred rental car expenses that have not been reimbursed to date.

AEB was applied three times without need since I have owned the car (purchased used in May 2022). All three times were not warranted and I was nearly rear ended once. First time occurred while merging onto a highway. The AEB system appeared to confuse the concrete dividing wall (which ends at the merge point) and braked unexpectedly. I was nearly rear ended. Second instance occurred while traveling at highway speed on a two lane freeway. I was in the left lane and a vehicle in the right lane began to slowly approach the dividing line (never crossed) and the AEB system activated. Third instance occurred when changing lanes on a two lane highway (right lane to left lane). Car braked suddenly for no reason. It appeared to confuse a large black patch (fresh road repair) in the middle of the road with an obstruction. No other cars were present.
Wheels, Forward collision avoidance, Jul 27, 2022
For wheels tpms system warning keeps turning on stating I have low tire pressure. I would check tire pressure and it is normal 33-34psi which is the recommended tire pressure by Honda. I would recalibrate the tpms and it would turn back on after driving 20 miles. I do this daily and honda dealers claim there is no issue. When I turn on a curving road if there are cars parked on the street the emergency brake system would turn on and start braking.

[XXX] vehicle has stalled in the middle of the highway 2 times, and would shut off mid drive. both times the car would shut off, start loosing speed and go into limp mode, and then stop. when trying to turn the car on, the whole dash board would light up with different errors, RDM problem, TPMS, CMBS, engine system error, electric power steering, Adaptive cruise etc. I have taken the vehicle 3 weeks prior to the latest incident to a local dealer, DEAN HONDA (911 Clairton Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15236), and they said they couldn't find the issue or cause. i have video and picture evidence of problem. looking at the vehicle model, 2019 Honda accord, there are 3 recalls which describe my issue, but when entering the vin number says that my specific vehicle does not have any recalls. this is very dangerous, not only for the occupants of the vehicle, but also other vehicles driving on the road, as i was in a close call 2 times already while driving the vehicle, and the dealer, and HONDA are not doing anything to prevent the issue from reoccurring. thank you email address for contact is [XXX] Sincerely, [XXX] files included, also a quick link for the files, with larger video quality https://photos.app.goo.gl/TeAVX54tLrPJcT1p7 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

There have been two incidents where my 2019 Honda Accord braked extremely hard and it was out of my control. The first incident was while I was exiting a highway on a rainy night at approximately 30mph, I had cars behind me that had to brake extremely hard due to my braking system which could have caused a rear end collision. The second incident was while I was driving approximately 50mph on a small two lane highway, I had other cars behind that had to swerve to avoid a collision once again. My car also detects many crack repairs on the highway as lane lines and attempts to depart the actual lane. I have to force the steering wheel to stay in the accurate lane. Unfortunately, I no longer feel safe driving my own car.
