2018 Honda Accord complaints

I saw an article that this was being investigated, and I’ve experienced the same issue multiple times. I will be driving on the highway with no car directly in front of me and every so often my car automatically emergency brakes as if there is a vehicle in front of me that I’m about to hit. This happened to me again just the other day.

The car has 73,820 miles on it. Flashing check engine light came on, stalling, unable to drive the car over 10 MPH, lucky I was around my house. If this would have happened on the freeway, I would probably get into a bad accident. Towed it to local Honda Dealership, came back as fuel injector problem (one of the cylinder was misfiring). After reading online posts of other owners & no coolant in the reservoir, I asked them to check the head gasket because a lot of complains about this problem. The dealer ship replaced the head gasket but not the fuel injectors after I asked them to double check the fuel injectors, but they insisted that only the head gasket was the only problem. After a week and a half, I went and tried to pick up my car. Before I was able to drive it off the lot, check engine light came back as one of the cylinders was misfiring again. To this day, I am still without my car. Now thinking about whole situation, we experienced some engine shaking when the engine first started. But it ran fine after a little bit, so we did not think anything of it. Good Will program of Honda will pick up the repair cost, my portion is $900.00 as deductible.

I work at a dealership. we have sold 2 2018 Honda accords where all the lights have popped on the dash multiple times. the first one went to the Honda dealer for a diagnostic and came back with fuel injector issues. after replaced, it went back and was told there was a blown head gasket and turbo. the second accord went to a different Honda dealer for a diag and once again was told it was a blown head gasket and turbo. after researching this issue I've found it is a common issue which starts with a misfire, all lights on the dash, and fuel injectors. no one has had any blown head gasket signs as the car overheating or coolant mixed with oil. we have received a third 2018 accord which arrived with a misfire. we have changed spark plugs 4 times as well as the coils. when starting the car it shakes aggressively as if it wants to stall and all the lights keep popping on the dash - the same signs as the previous vehicles. taking it to the dealer for a diagnosis and either it comes back with injectors - which will eventually lead to the head gasket, or straight into the head gasket being blown. there needs to be a recall at least so we are not wasting time and money with all these diagnostics and repairs.

Fuel injectors went out not even a year of having my vehicle… and it cause electrical problems in the car where you can’t use and car features…. There is so many reports there needs to be a recall review

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the ongoing electrical issues plaguing my 2018 Honda Accord, VIN: [XXX] ]. Since the initial purchase of the vehicle, I have experienced recurring problems with dashboard lights illuminating unexpectedly, indicating underlying electrical malfunctions. In an attempt to rectify these issues, I have diligently brought the vehicle to authorized Honda service centers on multiple occasions. Despite their efforts, including the replacement of the electrical wiring harness in 2023, the problem persists unabated. Despite extensive diagnostics and repair attempts, the root cause of the issue remains unresolved, leading to significant inconvenience and frustration. Moreover, during one service visit, Honda service personnel erroneously diagnosed a faulty gas pump, resulting in an unnecessary replacement at my expense totaling $1375.00. It is pertinent to note that Honda was already aware of a recall affecting my vehicle, yet failed to rectify the issue under the recall and instead charged me for the repair. Subsequent attempts to seek full reimbursement for this unjust expense were rebuffed by Honda corporate, citing the partial financing of the repairs as a justification for their refusal. To compound matters, on Saturday, [XXX], I once again encountered a recurrence of the dashboard lights issue, signaling a persistent and unresolved defect within the vehicle's electrical system. This ongoing issue has severely compromised the sa

Over the past two weeks, I have encountered problems with my car's many lights. These issues have been related to issues with the braking system, collisions, road departure, emission system, ACC system, vehicle stability, and electric power system. By disconnecting the battery, the lights have been switched off. My car can only be operated in this manner.) The automobile would not go faster, and I was stuck in traffic, endangering my safety. There might have been an accident if someone had been speeding. This had happened before, and when I called the Honda store in Milledgeville, Georgia, to report the problem, they said they were unable to locate a problem because the lights had vanished. Yes, Butler Honda in Milledgeville reported that they were unable to locate a problem. The mechanic informed me that it was OK to drive even if the car had lights on because they couldn't use the car today. However, a few days later, the lights had vanished once more. It occurred approximately once in July 2023, twice in December 2023, once in March 2024, and once in April 2024. Before the several lights, there was no warning light.

On March 14 2024 my fuel Injector failed. Took it to the dealer to get then fix. Currently getting a loss of mpg but car is running good

My issues started end of December 2023, where my car would all of a sudden stop, and this happened to me on a highway at a speed of 70mph in Houston, which is a very serious safety issue. After this happened, I got this checked out at Honda dealership, they informed that this happened because of an outstanding recall for fuel pump and told me to wait till Feb 2024 when I will receive a recall letter and parts will be Ava by March 2024. By the time Feb came, I got a letter and it says that it will be available in Fall of 2024, that is almost entire year of 2024. Dealership said they can’t do anything and told me to reach out of corporate Honda, following their advice I filed a complaint to Honda corporate and when then finally got back to me, they told me Honda corporate can’t do anything and I will have to wait till fall 2024. I informed them that it is a safety issue and that it is effecting my job, because I am currently car less, I have to ask around to different family members to borrow their car, this is effect negatively to my livelihood; financially and mentally and Honda do not care. Now I will be out of a car for 9-10 months and I am still making payments for the car and car insurance. I also lost my job just yesterday because of this. You guys are my last option, I do not know what else I can do from my end, I need my car to be fixed so I can do support myself financially.

Took my vehicle to honda for emissions check engine light, dealer troubleshoot and said i need my injectors replaced my vehicle has 74k miles

All lights were on : Brake System, Emmision Control, Engine, See Dealer. Would not accelerate correctly. Sometimes would not start. Replaced spark plugs in January and also New Battery problem went away until 3/20/24. Got worse. Put oil and coolant in. Started up and lights went off but engine light came off and on. Towed to Elk Grove Honda. They said they wanted to test for coolant leaks in engine. So replaced spark plugs and did test. Leaked so they said I needed a Replaced Head gasket. This car only has 81,113 miles on it. I have researched that alot of 2018-2021 Honda Accords 1.5L are having the same issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the emissions warning light illuminated. In addition, the steering, the brakes, and the navigation features were all inoperable. The contact stated that a warning light illuminated with instructions to take the vehicle to the dealer for service immediately. Additionally, when the emissions warning light was illuminated, the oil became dirty quicker, and the fuel usage increased. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken to the dealer several times and was reset. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

With only 99,000 miles on my 2018 1.5L 4 cyl Accord, the electrical part of the fuel injectors is beginning to fail. This has caused misfires in multiple cylinders. My safety was put at risk because when the misfires occur the engine has stumbled and all warning icons light up and the warning messages for all systems come on. When this happens the adaptive cruise control (ACC) stops working and the low tire pressure icon is always lit even though the tires have not lost pressure. ACC is a safety system and I will have no warning if a tire develops a leak. This could cause an accident at highway speeds. Moreover, the stumbling could result in an unexpected rapid slowdown at highway speeds. I have taken the car to an independent shop that reproduced the condition and believes the fuel injectors are failing. I called the local Honda service that confirms the injectors are failing. There were no indications of the condition prior to the warning lights coming on. From an internet search failing injectors below 100,000 miles appear to be a common problem with 2017-18 Honda 1.5L engines as I found numerous references to 2017-18 Honda 1.5L injector failure on Honda owner boards.

2018 Accord consistently has the warning pop up for the the crash mitigation system and tells me to visit the dealer. Cruise control just stop working while driving. When I turn the car off and back on it resets, and then 10-20 miles goes by and the error pops up again. Incredibly unreliable and unsafe when I’m on the freeway going 70. This has been a constant problem.

Instrument cluster lights up with the following warnings: road departure mitigation,brake system,vehicle stability assist,ACC,collision mitigation,Emission system problem, electric power steering, hill assist,brake system hold. OBD2 codes are: PO301,PO301.Dealer diagnosed problem and solution as: replace Fuel Injectors.Car with 50,000 miles run fine. Idiot lights are out of control.

The car goes into limp mode and will not go past 20 miles per hour. I recently took my Honda Accord Sport 1.5 to get checked out because all the lights came on the dashboard and it was rough shaking starting the car that eventually subsides, idles fine, and drives fine. When on the highway, trying to accelerate to high speeds, the car will start having a rough start to accelerate. I took it to two dealerships, and they said there's nothing they can do because the codes are not showing what the exact issue is and suggested that I change my spark plugs and fuel injectors (which was already done at around 60,000 miles). Utter disappointment in this vehicle.

Blown head gasket.Car is hesitating/ jerking. Dealership wants 7k to get it fixed.

I have a 2018 honda accord. I have had issues with it breaking and nothing being there. It has cause me to almost get rear ended several times and I find it to be a huge safety hazard. I will be driving down an open road and nothing will be in front of me. My car will randomly slam on the breaks and it scares me terribly. This has happened quite a few times now. At first I thought it was a fluke but it has continued to happen and is becoming a major issue.

Automatic emergency braking occurred three different times for no apparent reason. The car slowed down on a major road. I never reported it. No. A large orange message "BRAKE" on the dashboard while it occurred.

Was driving down the road car completely loose power check engine light started blinking pulled over turn the car off. Turn it back on check engine light disappeared. Vehicle did fine feels like vehicles constantly losing power runs fine acceleration and it starts to cut out hook the check engine light system up and as most 2018 through 2019 Honda Accord error pops up Fuel rail/system pressure-too low bank one

Head Gasket Failure

A/C evaporator is not reliable and is expensive repair. My car is 2018 model year and had its A/C evaporator replaced twice already (Nov 2020 and Mar 2024).

The current documented Recall for the fuel pump cannot be rectified until fall of 2024. I need to us this vehicle however its a safety concern to operate the vehicle with the possibility of injury or accident. My insurance company "farmers" will not cover me in the event of an accident or injury brought on by this recall/defect. With that said all liability is on me for using the vehicle when this is a Honda problem they cannot fix for another 6 months. I drive 100 miles a day with this car which places me at a higher risk of this happening. This is not fair or safe to put the consumer in this predicament. This is another case of firestone tire recall scandal where they ran the numbers and saw it more in favorable to save money then to save lives. Honda will not pick up a loaner nor do I have the income to support another vehicle. This is wrong.

I have a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5t Sport. It has 113,000 miles on it. And I took it in for a diagnosis due to an inspection made by Walmart and I was told by the Honda dealership I have a blown head gasket. After much research and discovery, I found out this is a common and typical issue with this model car and that Honda corporation knows about it but refuses to issue a recall. I never experienced any warnings, car never ran hot or overheated. There was never any indication that the head gasket was an issue. Now that they have determined this, they are telling me because it is out of warranty it will not be covered and I am responsible for the $3000 charge to fix the head gasket. This is very upsetting being that Honda is very aware of the situation and seem to care less about the safety of their vehicle owners and the terrible situation that this puts their customers in.

On [XXX], while I was driving from St. Petersburg, FL to Tampa, FL, I experienced phantom breaking on the highway. The vehicle gave brake warning and started breaking automatically. Fortunately, I accelerated and maintained my speed thus avoiding a rear end accident.
