Vehicle stalled and had a power system failure requiring driver to pull off to the side of a road that blocked traffic. The acceleration/drive function no longer worked. The vehicle displayed a POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM message on the dashboard and showed "DO NOT DRIVE". Vehicle was towed to HONDA dealership and they confirmed the fuel pump needs to be replaced. The vehicle had a replacement of the fuel pump in 2022 as part of a prior recall, but the same component is responsible for this situation four years later. Dealership is quoting $1,931 for repairs and Honda America is refusing to cover repair as they claim the 2022 replacement is not related to this incident. They will not confirm whether the parts supplier in 2022 were changed to account for the expanded recall that is part of an ongoing lawsuit settled in 2026 (to be determined when finalized).

The vehicle has a documented, severe manufacturing defect involving a cylinder head gasket leak under Honda Service Bulletin 26-006. A certified technician at Honda East Cincinnati confirmed the head gasket leak in writing on September 9, 2026. Prior to this, an independent facility pulled code P0302 (Cylinder 2 Misfire) and used a digital borescope to capture video proof of liquid coolant pooling inside Cylinder #2. Despite written documentation from both facilities confirming an active internal engine leak, American Honda Corporate and the dealership are refusing to honor the warranty extension. They are requiring me to continue driving an unstable vehicle until it actively throws a code on a proprietary dealership scanner. Forcing a consumer to drive a vehicle with a known, documented internal coolant leak risks sudden engine seizure, overheating, and catastrophic stalling on public highways, creating a severe and preventable crash hazard.

Vehicle was being driven on the highway when suddenly engine hesitated and started stalling. Speed was reduced from around 65MPH down to the low 40s. Cars were stacking up behind and passing, causing potential hazardous conditions. Vehicle was taken to a mechanic shop and diagnosed with misfiring, after reading OBD II with many alerts coming on. Further diagnostics revealed cylinder head gasket was leaking coolant into engine, as shown by borescope images. This is a known problem on 2018-2020 Honda Accords with both 1.5T & 2.0 engines. The multiple alert messages started to come on a few weeks ago, but the engine hesitation and stalling just started this week. At first we suspected a 12V battery issue, but testing confirmed battery was at 12.8V with no issues.

Engine
Filed Mar 9, 2026CA
1. Component: The engine head gasket and the combustion system (specifically Cylinder 2). Specifics: A leak-down test confirmed a failure in Cylinder 2, leading to coolant intrusion. This was initially masked by a water pump code, but after the water pump was replaced and the code returned, a borescope confirmed "clean" pistons (steam-cleaned by coolant) and tap scarring. Availability: Yes, the vehicle and all diagnostic records are available for inspection. 2. Emergency Maneuvers: On multiple occasions, the car entered "Limp Mode" while driving 70–75 mph on the freeway. This caused a sudden, dangerous drop in speed, forcing me to maneuver through high-speed traffic to reach the median/suicide lane. Stranded: The vehicle overheated 5 times in one trip, leaving me vulnerable on the side of a busy freeway. 3. Yes. An independent shop confirmed the failure via a leak-down test, a borescope inspection, and physical analysis of the spark plugs. They confirmed that despite the computer throwing a water pump code, the mechanical failure is the head gasket. 4.Status: It has been inspected by an independent service center. I am now using their findings to pursue a lawsuit/claim against Honda for selling a vehicle with a pre-existing internal engine defect. 5. Timeline: Symptoms began in April 2024 (two months after purchase). Initial Signs: An "Emission System" warning light appeared. The diagnostic code indicated a water pump failure, which was replaced in April. Recurring Symptoms:

Description of Incident: 1. Component/System Failure: The engine cooling system and head gasket failed. A certified shop has confirmed coolant intrusion and a failed leak-down test on Cylinder 2. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. Safety Risk: My safety and the safety of my family and other drivers were put at extreme risk. On March 1, 2026, the vehicle suffered a sudden loss of motive power while traveling at 70 MPH on the freeway. The car dropped to 15 MPH instantly, forcing me to maneuver across active lanes to a narrow shoulder with almost no space. I was nearly hit by high-speed traffic. This has occurred over 8 times since 2023. 3. Confirmation by Service Center: The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by an independent service center On Site Lube Auto & Tire. They utilized a borescope and leak-down test to verify the internal engine failure. 4. Inspections: The vehicle has been inspected by a certified independent technician. I am in the process of notifying the manufacturer (Honda) of these findings for their inspection and accountability. 5. Warning Lamps & Symptoms: Prior to the total power loss, the vehicle displayed engine temperature warnings and "check engine" lights. These symptoms first appeared approximately 8 months after purchase in 2023 and have progressively worsened, leading to the current engine failure. 6. Additional Notes: This failure is identical to issues cited in active class-action lawsuits regarding Honda's engine def

City street driving speed < 35-40 mph, engine began rough idling at stop light after traveling just 1/8 mile. After driving less than 1 mile on level ground, engine slowed and would not accelerate above 20 mph. After another mile or so, increasing uphill grade caused speed to slow to 12-14 mph. Stepping on gas caused car to slow down even more, with shaking and jerky stop-start of vehicle. Maintaining 10-12 mph permitted vehicle to continue uphill climb for a few more miles so I could reach home. Downhill coasting was smooth with no gas pedal acceleration. Overnight parked in garage, and no problems driving vehicle to local independent auto mechanic. They were able to duplicate problem after 2 days and multiple test drives. Diagnosed permanent and temporary engine codes: misfires of cylinders 1 and 4 with ignition coil malfunction, misfires of cylinders 1, 2, 4, and random misfires. Also permanent codes: antilock brake ECM Failure, electric power steering vehicle stability assist System Malfunction, electric servo brake electric power train System Malfunction. Mechanic removed coils and spark plugs, found cylinder 4 has moisture. Coils, plugs cleaned and re-installed. Honda Dealer unable to duplicate problem after 3 days.

It appears the head gasket failed due to an anomaly on the engine block between cylinders. We were driving down the road when the engine lost power and went into limp mode ( dealer term). The problem of the head gasket was confirmed by the dealer, but the anomaly on the short block has not been explained. The engine block was inspected by the service tech, service manager and a rep from Honda. No explanation given. No warning lights came on until immediately after the engine lost power. The engine block is available for inspection at the dealership.

While traveling at approximately 55 mph yesterday, in daylight, with no other cars in front, back, or to the side of our car, it radically braked on its own. The collision mitigation system warning light has frequently flashed on the dashboard since we bought the car new in 2019 but never did it apply the brakes on its own. Dealerships over the years have told us "this just happens", and offered no fix for the false positive alerts. This is a dangerous situation which could result in an accident or even death of occupants if not resolved by Honda. I spoke with several dealerships since the phantom braking event and they tell me they hear this complaint often. Being an intermittent situation, it is extremely difficult to diagnose and resolve. Something needs to be done.

Component or System Failed: The head gasket appears to have failed, leading to coolant leaking into cylinder 4. This has been confirmed by two separate service centers. The vehicle is currently available for inspection if needed. Safety Risk: The failure caused engine misfires and dashboard warning lights to activate while driving, which could have led to a sudden loss of power or control. I had to pull over and restart the vehicle to regain drivability, which put my safety and that of others at risk. Reproduced or Confirmed by a Dealer or Service Center: Yes. The issue was first diagnosed by Honda of Sumner, who initially suspected a compression issue. Their master mechanic later confirmed it was likely a head gasket failure. A second opinion from Greg’s Japanese Auto confirmed the diagnosis and provided photos showing coolant in the cylinder. Inspected by Manufacturer or Others: Yes. The vehicle was inspected by Honda of Sumner and Greg’s Japanese Auto. No inspection has been done by police or insurance representatives. Warning Lamps or Symptoms Before Failure: Yes. After a recent service (which included an AC repair, fuel pump recall, and oil change), I experienced two misfires in cylinder 4 within 24 hours. All dashboard warning lights came on during one of the incidents. These symptoms began four days after the service. Additional Context: I was quoted $8,100 for the head gasket repair by Honda. I believe this issue could have been detected earlier during the diagnostic

All of sudden, no incident, no accident, a lot of things were disabled such as Adaptive Cruise Control , Forward Collision Warning , Lane Departure Warning and more while I was out of town (long range highway travel). When I went to Honda dealership, they blamed a few things and fixed them (expensive), then they said that the front camera needed a calibration. It was expensive. After that aiming correction, everything works fine. The camera was NOT broken. It just needed recalibration, and it costed about a thousand dollars. I would say it was caused by the poor design, which is Honda's fault. I googled this issue and found a lot of Honda owners had same issued and charged 1K ~2K for it. I will report it separately, but my Honda Odyssey has the exactly same issue now. I have 2 Honda cars, and both of them have the same issue. I strongly suggest that Honda should recall their front camera and they should reimburse the expense we already paid for it.

I was driving on the freeway and my engine lost power and all the lights on my dashboard went haywire. I tried to get off the freeway but with the loss of power made it extremely difficult and dangerous. I thought I was going to get into an accident since my car slowed down so abruptly. I had to limp my way across traffic which was very scary. The car was jerking and shaking. I finally got to the side of the freeway and the car did not want to continue so I called for a tow truck and waited on the side of a busy highway. The tow truck brought my car to the Honda dealership which diagnosed the problem immediately as a blown head gasket. They said it was a known problem and the mechanic knew what to look for. They fixed the head gasket and I have my car back. My car only has 92k miles and I don’t think the head gasket should fail this early in the vehicles life. I properly maintain my engine with routine oil changes. There is no reason the engine should break down like this. I feel that there is a defect in Honda’s head gasket.

It can be very distractive and dangerous in the right conditions, as it can be misinterpreted as traffic next to or approaching the vehicle causing a short notice distraction while at a high speed. It is a reoccurring incident every time the vehicle is driven and only getting worse.

I am writing to express my serious dissatisfaction with the engine head gasket on my 2019 Honda Accord EXL. Following my Honda consultant, I have experienced a engine head gasket malfunction where it has a head gasket crack. This led to leaking into the engine piston which will cost me $5000 to repair. There was no signs and symptoms that the incident was going to happen. I would also say I am a pretty conservative driver when commuting. The ongoing engine issues could potentially lead to serious safety concerns due to overheating, possible engine damage, and safety for others on the road. This problem has not been confirmed by the dealer and on many public forums people have had similar issues with this when there car is fairly new.

Component that failed was the head gasket. Willing to have vehicle inspected. However this incident occurred roughly 7 months ago at 125k miles. Safety was put at risk due to engine overheating which could've caused a fire. I haven't asked the dealer if they've seen it before however this issue is easy to find on forums for this vehicle. The vehicle was only inspected by the dealer who repaired it, I was told by them they had to send off some part of my engine to honda to ensure it wasn't warped before repairing. The ridiculous part was the only warning I received in my car was engine temp high if you ask me such a major failure should cause the check engine light to come one. I had no other warnings than the temp warning. My vehicle doesn't even have a Guage to display the engine temp. To ensure the listed vin shows the correct model I drive a 2019 honda accord hybrid ex with 133,500 miles.

Ever since I bought the 2019 Accord Hybrid new. There has always been a steering wheel tug or slight sticking. I complained to Ocean Honda (at the Time, no longer in business, now North Hollywood Honda). They said it was normal. Fighting the steering wheel on long drives didn't seem normal. I thought maybe it was lane asset issue. Turned it off and back on. Fixed the problem for a while but starting again. After Covid I started working from home. So less driving. Not enough long driving to get it to react. Now there is a recall on the newer model Honda Accords that sound the same as my older Accord. My hope is that owners of older Accords are also speaking up to be included in the new steering wheel recall. These older Accord could be dangerous too. ***I can't add the correct date below.

On January 22, 2025, I was driving at highway speed and suddenly my car seemed to lag in power. It slowed from about 60mph to 40mph and pressing on the gas did not do anything. The Check Engine light began flashing. I felt like it would continue to slow down and it was rush hour. I managed to safely exit the freeway and parked the car. I turned it off, waited a moment, turned it back on. It seemed ok so I drove carefully using back streets to the local Honda dealership. They kept the car for 2 days and ran tests but nothing showed on their computer and they could not replicate the problem. They gave me the car back. I saw another recall today for other models of Honda that have this exact problem. My car has 41700 miles on it. The weather was cold but clear. This is the first time this has happened.

Honda service center (1601 Dallas Pkwy, Frisco, TX 75034) is avoiding making a repair of recalled fuel pump. I took the car in on what they said was a slow day for a 3hr repair. They told me it would take 2+ days to repair and that if I scheduled in advance they could make sure to get it done in about 3 hours. I scheduled a week in advance with an appointment and came in and they used the same excuse again telling me that it would take them 2+ days. When I complained they came up with a second excuse that the repair can't be done on a mostly full tank of gas (which is not true, it's just harder for them to do it) and even if it was true, they've never once notified me during my prior interactions. The Honda dealership is clearly avoiding their obligation to make the repair and is putting my safety at risk.

Mid October 2023, we driving on the freeway and the car started to slow down on its own. We could not accelerate to match the speed of cars around us or to get the speed limits in a 55 to 65 zone, making it dangerous for us and others to continue driving on the freeway at extremely slow/low speeds. We towed it the dealership, who said it was defective spark plugs. This car was only 4 years old with extremely low millage and the spark plugs should've last a lot longer. They changed the spark plugs under warranty. Late November 2024, we were getting off the freeway and the check engine light came on but there were no service codes.

There is an issue going on in which the door lock actuators within the Door Latch Assembly are failing. This issue happened to my vehicle and through a Google search you can see that it's happening to several others. Because of this issue, the doors of the vehicle will not open via remote unlock, only via manual insertion of the key and physically unlocking the other doors. In a situation where you need to quickly enter your vehicle, this is very problematic. Additionally, if I choose to remote start the vehicle, as soon as I use the physical key to unlock the driver side door, the vehicle turns off essentially negating the remote start. I went to the dealership and used the diagnostic device to determine that these devices were failing electronically and I had to have both of my left side assemblies replaced at a high cost.

The head gasket on the engine has blown at only 94,000 miles. Car overheated on the side of the freeway and I took it to the dealership. Dealer confirmed that the head gasket was leaking. Check engine light and a temp warning came on as the car overheated.

The Lane Departure Warning. Auto Dimming Headlights,, and traffic sign Recognition system stopped working at about 40000 miles. The dealer says they can't fix it. Also, my windshield, like so many others I've read about, spontaneously cracked while parked, on a day with moderate temperature and no hail. The camera was realigned. Still, the 3 sensing aids above still don't work. Uncertain about exact date

Car makes a highly audible hum resonance at 45-55 mph. This sounds like a very load wheel bearing issue but it apparently related to auto noise reduction system putting the sound through the speakers. This is a known Honda issue they need to fix, shouldn't happen on a nearly new car.

On multiple occasion my vehicle will brake unexpectedly with no object in the road or surrounding my car. It has done it at freeway speeds as well as driving through parking lots. It often will sense construction repairs on the road and think I am departing the lane again slamming on the brakes (on the freeway) I have luckily avoided accidents but have had numerous close calls.

07/28/2023 - Car showed many brake system errors: electric parking brake, vehicle stability, adaptive cruise control, etc. Took to Heritage Honda, Bel Air, MD, and got error code diagnosis of PI20-00, brake system/pedal simulator failure. Heritage "reflashed" pedal simulator and cleared code. Told OK to drive but if brake system errors showed up again, pull over to side of road and have car towed. Drove 20+ miles home. 07/29/2023 - Car again showed brake system errors as on 07/28. Husband and I drove car around our development and there were no brakes, even after husband pumping and pushing down on brake pedal very hard. 07/31/2023 - Flat bed towed car to Martin Honda, Newark, DE and got same error code. Paid to replace brake pedal simulator, PN 01469-TWA-A56. Issue is that brake system did not fail safely, because failure of pedal simulator left me with no brakes. Requested Honda pay entire Martin Honda invoice but Honda paid $1400 of repair. Have since requested that Honda pay remaining $1000 that I paid, plus diagnostic fee for Heritage Honda, and towing charge.
Electrical System

The malfunctioning component is the electronic door lock system of my 2019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid, specifically the driver's side door. This problem persists and is available for inspection. The failure of this system posed a safety risk as it prevents secure access and egress from the vehicle. I was unable to unlock my vehicle using the electronic key fob or the interior lock/unlock button, which could pose a problem in emergency situations where quick exit from the vehicle is required. The problem has been reproduced over a period of 6-8 weeks, with the issue becoming consistent and isolated to the driver's side door. The issue has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet, nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. My car has recently aged out of warranty and given the experiences of others online, I don't have the money to hand over to the dealer for diagnostic fees with zero resolution. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the issue's occurrence. It started sporadically, sometimes affecting different doors, but in recent weeks, it has been a consistent problem with the driver's door. This problem isn't exclusive to my vehicle. I've read online forums where others, even with different models of Honda Accords, have encountered similar issues, suggesting this could be a common issue across certain models. One person described a similar, erratic door
Complaints 1-50 of 94, newest first, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
