The 1st thing that happened was that all the components of ADAS stopped working in the spring of 2023. All the warning lights turned on in the middle of my commute home from work. It was very intimidating because I thought the car was going to stall in the middle of the highway, so pulled over to the side. I contacted Honda dealership and they were going to charge me to diagnose the problem. So I went to Autozone and it diagnosed my problem as "System too rich (Bank 1)". I went to an independent mechanic and they had the same warning on their machine as Autozone. They tried replacing an oxygen sensor, that did not work in getting rid of the problem with all my warning lights turning on. Again the ADAS component lights turned on and the system did not work. The next thing they did was replace 4 fuel injectors. I have not had any issues with my car since concerning this problem with fuel too rich.

Supplemental RestraintSystem Problem warning keeps coming on. I have taken it in to the dealership and made them aware of this. However they keep telling me that when I take the vehicle in they don’t see anything wrong with it and that warning light isn’t on. I have been told to take it in when it stays on completely. It never stays on completely, it comes and it goes. Worried

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The emission control system, ABS, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V215000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Have taken my car to dealership 3 separate times for all warning lights illuminated. Last time they replaced the transmission for a CVT belt prematurely breaking and all codes went away for one day. Now all are present again. Emmisions system warning, lane departure warning, cruise control warning, exc. Every single light never goes out. Just spent 6k on a car that had under 100,000 miles because I was told it was the transmission belt only to come home and have the exact issues happen. The day it was taken to the shop, it stalled in the road and almost caused an accident on a major highway. At this point, I'm afraid to drive it.

CVT belt prematurely broke causing transmission failure on 2020 honda accord. Car has 93000 mile.

Rough start then temperature fluctuates. Coolant is disappearing cause a head gasket problem. This has been known for the 2018-2020 yrs Accord.

Everything malfunctioned lights flickering and glitching all over the dashboard, fuel rail pressure too low, in tank fuel pump has internal failure.

10 months after purchasing my vehicle from the dealership, all lights illuminated on the dash, it goes through each warning every time you crank. This would not go away. I took it to the honda dealership during a recall and they said they could not find the problem. Suddenly this week, after owning this car for 2 years and being told the issue could not be found, and only 90,000 miles, the car made a sudden stop on the road almost causing an accident. The car would not move forward or reverse. We had to have it towed to a dealership and waiting to hear issue. This is an extreme hazard! And I may be stuck with a costly bill once again, with no resolution.

The automatic emergency braking system malfunctioned on 7/18/24. I was driving approx. 20 mph on a local road and there was no vehicle, pedestrian, or other object in front of the car when unexpectedly the orange warning to brake came on and an instant later the car braked on its own and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. Given the sudden and forceful stop, I went forward into the seat belt. Fortunately, there was not a vehicle behind me as I would have been rear ended putting both me and the people in the other vehicle in danger. I reported the incident to the dealer using their online system (I wanted to do it in writing, but could not find a direct email address), but have not heard back from them yet.

I was driving along the NJ Turnpike at approximately 65 miles an hour when the brake warning light started flickering on and off and then the brakes engaged. It was quick, as if I had stepped hard on the pedal. No vehicle was in front of me, but I was driving through the express EZ Pass lane. Later that same day, it happened again, but this time it was only as if someone tapped on the brakes. The brake light flashed then too. To answer the above questions: What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Collision Mitigation Braking System, and yes it is How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Someone could have rear-ended me Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The brake light warning flickered on before each instance

During medium acceleration the vehicle engine lost power and all the instrument panel warnings went off. Dealership said a blow head gasket. There are many threads online saying that there needs to be something done because the Honda 1.5 turbo motors are blowing head gaskets prematurely under 100k miles. Mine 2020 Accord has 108k and has been driven with care as I’m a middle aged male commuting to and from work with the car. Some sort of investigation needs to be done to show there is either a design flaw or a gasket flaw.

The collision mitigation braking system periodically activates when traveling on interstate highway when there is nothing in the roadway to cause this function to activate, causing the vehicle to stop suddenly then release which have caused potential rear-end accidents and possible injury to the driver r passenger due to the sudden stopping motion which propel the driver and passenger forward quickly without any warnings. Recently an warning error appeared to verify this malfunction. Which before 6/30 the warning error never appeared.

My car is less than 4 years old and only has 6623 miles. Already its leaking refringent from the condenser and Discharge Hose. Force Honda to fix the problem and reimburse car owners. Invoice cost is $10066.62 + tax

I was driving on a road that the car has been on hundreds of times. Flat, straight, dry road with no other cars around. The car all of a sudden braked very hard and the "BRAKE" light started flashing and beeping for about 3-4 seconds and then went off and then the brake fully released. It was like hitting an invisible wall and fighting to maintain control of the car at the same time. It came out of nowhere and was so shocking. There was nothing around me and no reason for the AEB system to be used. I can't tell you if my foot was pressing on the gas or had lifted to maintain speed. I do know that my foot was on or lifted above the gas pedal and nowhere near the brake. I am shocked it didn't cause an accident but I am guessing that is because I held tight to the steering wheel and possibly because there were no other cars around. I have severe whiplash, a major headache, backache and am very scared driving the car should it happen again. I have not gone to receive medical treatment yet but it is highly likely that I will need it. I will be contacting the dealership as well to discuss.

I am an 81 years old widow and am very afraid to drive my new 2020 Honda Accord. I am regularly experiencing an ongoing intermittent issue where my car stalls for no apparent reason. I've taken it to the Honda garage where I purchased it two times and no one seems to be able to satisfactorily address this concern. The first time I reported it to the shop (4/24/24), the technician didn't even pull it into the garage to investigate it. I assumed they would hook it to some diagnostic device and see if the cars computer would have some record of the fault. Instead, he jumped in, pushed some buttons relating to the lane keeping system (?) and claimed that would fix it, but it did not. I continue to experience the same problems. One example is when I take my car to the car wash, it stalls at the end and starts beeping. No matter what car wash I go to, it's the same awful experience, where they must shut down their equipment and come out to help me get the car restarted so as to get me out of the way and let everyone else out who are now stuck behind me (Very frightening and embarrassing). I've also had the car shut off after hitting some small potholes. It will shut down and requires a few attempts to get it restarted from the middle of the road!again - I then took it back to the Honda garage where I purchased it for a 2nd time (6/3/24) and for some other routine maintenance. This time they told me that maybe it was caused by my Toll-Road EZ-Pass which was mounted to my windshield

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle began to shudder. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The message to see the dealer was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the low-pressure fuel pump and a high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed there was no recall coverage on the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was like NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

I've owned the car for over a year now, bought it for my daughter. 3 times the emergency braking system has gone off while driving for no reason. the last event happened while driving on a Hwy at 55 mph with no in front of her. The car slammed on the brakes, and the brake warning light went off, thankfully no one was behind her.

On [XXX] I took my elderly mother to physical therapy and the car began to randomly brake although there were no vehicles in front of me. The braking light flashed and then car brakes on its own. A week later I was driving approximately 55 mph on a major highway and the car started braking again but without the warning light. Again, there were no cars anywhere around me. The next day I went to the Honda dealership in Covington, LA because I am very concerned this will happen again unexpectedly when there are cars around me and it will result in a bad accident injuring myself or others. I was told he can keep my car all day but he said they probably could not recreate the issue so its just a waste of time. He said nothing he can do about it. That's just how it is and maybe it was from a bug passing the sensor. I know have to remember to turn off the feature every time I drive because I am terrified that it will randomly brake again and it may cause a serious accident.

Bought the car back in 2020 after less than a year electrical problems caused the car to malfunction got it fixed and constantly after that more electrical problems changed the sensors and the car still continued to lose power. While driving on the highway the car completely lost strength and would not let me drive more than 25mph check engine light started blinking as well as all the lights LKAS ACC TPMS and more.

Vehicle engaged emergency brake by itself. Also in regards to current fuel delivery recall, Honda has yet to fix my recall saying they have not come up with the parts yet. This is my only vehicle that I bough to commute to work of 150 miles a day. The car stalls on the highway becoming more often than not and is hard to start sometimes.

This car brakes while we are driving while there is nothing in front. was reported to the dealer, they can not find the issue unless the carb does it, or I can turn off the program, but that is not a safe move.

Open highway traveling 50+ mph, changing lanes from middle to right. Car's emergency brakes turned on and slowed me down abruptly for about 1 full second. Thankfully no on was behind me and no one was hurt. I have had this car for 6 months and this has happened 2 other times.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed with no other vehicles nearby, the Forward Collision Warning system activated briefly, applying the Automatic Emergency Braking. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The brake alert warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: EA24002 (Forward Collision Avoidance Warning). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.

Collision mitigation message turned on, took it in to dealer and they said sensor was coming up as malfunction and not aligned so they aligned it. Although sensor was aligned emergency brake still brakes without an obstruction in front. It has happened on interstate highway at speed limit where speeds are at 75mph.

The hand/emergency brakes activated without me doing it while driving and had stayed on ever since. I had my mechanic look into it and he mentioned may be due to a defective sensor and advised to have the dealer look into it for recalls. I saw that the NHTSA is actually reporting on a similar issue. The car still has good brakes (pads and rotor) however the issue continues as it will randomly activate the emergency brakes.

CAR EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME 3 TIMES TODAY IT SLOWED ME DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE AND TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO DISENGAGE WITH CARS SWERVING AROUND ME TO AVOID COLLISION THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE

See attached document for complaint

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Automatic Emergency Braking system engaged without any vehicle or person in front of my car. I was driving at about 40 mph and the brakes slammed on and then after a few seconds released How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? If a vehicle was directly behind me, they could have slammed into my car. No car was at the time this happened. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I haven't taken it in yet. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The BRAKE light came on on the dashboard when it occurred.

On [XXX] while driving my vehicle my car would not accelerate over 30 MPH and following that all of my lights came on my dash Emission system problem, ACC, Collision mitigation braking system problem, road departure mitigation problem just to name a few. I proceeded to return home and not drive my car until I could take it to the dealership the following business day. In the meantime, I did research on what had happen to my car and also did a recall search on the make and model of my car and saw that 2018-2020 Honda Accord Sedan had an open recall with a date of 12/18/2023, recall #[XXX] described as 2018-20 Accord 2.0T Fuel Pump Mtr Saf Recall Exp2. I took my car on [XXX] to Team Honda in Baton Rouge, LA where I purchased the car on to have a diagnostic test done. I was told my fuel pump system needed to be replaced but my car did not fall under the recall so I would be responsible for the cost. However, I could contact American Honda to see if they would assist. I called American Honda and was advised they don't know why the dealership told me to call them because my car is not on the recall list even though my car has been diagnosed with the recall issue and they would not cover the repair cost. I am wanting to dispute this matter and request that my repairs be covered. I have been told by the dealership that this is a safety issue and can leave me stranded so to not receive any assistance to cover the repair cost for a known issue for the year, make and model of my vehicl

For some reason the vehicle shift gets stuck in the park position. After continuous tries, it eventually goes into gear. Apparently, there is something wrong with the transmission and should be covered by warranty.

The ANC module malfunctions already at only 67000 miles and causes a humming noise which is very annoying when driving. The ebreak also malfunctions during cold weather conditions. I have had to restart the car due to the electronic parking break not working properly. In case of an emergency I might need it and it may malfunction.

All the lights on my dashboard turned on including the check engine light. Upon scanning for codes, I got a code that stated that fuel system is too rich. Upon further investigation, I was told by a mechanic that hondas with a 1.5 turbo have been having issues with the fuel injectors and that they need to be replaced. My car had 50,000 miles when the issue first started.

At least once a month with lane keep assist on, and a vehicle in the lane to my right, an emergency braking maneuver happens automatically. I have to disconnect the system

Check engine, right mirror, door, alignment. My safety is not good, the car jerks and merging into another lane. Yes it has been inspected by insurance representative. It appeared when I was hit on 02/13/2024

I received a recall notice that there is a safety recall on my vehicle for a circuit board under the PASSENGER seat. Manufacturer Recall #XHP, NHTSA recall number 24V064. I utilize my vehicle to provide a source of income. My local dealership informed me after I called them that there was currently no remedy to the problem. This is a major inconvenience that now I can no longer make the extra income I need. Does this problem affect my vehicle as a whole? Is this really a safety problem? I need documentation stating this is not a SAFETY recall, thank you.

An UNKNOWN SYSTEM or the FOB recently started causing the vehicle's trunk to unlock and/or windows to roll down. This presents SAFETY and THEFT issues since someone could enter the car or trunk without the owner/driver being aware of their presence. Also, the trunk popping open while driving is a distraction and blocks the view through the rear window. We traded a previous year's model of the same vehicle due to the same problem. The trunk light comes on if the trunk opens while the vehicle is in operation, but there is no way to know the trunk is open if the car is parked.

The driver’s seat continues to move (keeps adjusting) while I’m driving

Car stalled on me on the highway

While driving at highway speeds, the vehicles steering becomes locked in place requiring a substantial amount of force to turn with the road causing the car to jerk which then cause me to over correct. There are no warning lights that have come on. The vehicle has less then 60k miles. The problem has been reproduced by a Honda dealer. They stated that they don't know how the steering rack could have failed.
