2019 Honda Accord

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

I am not sure if this would be considered an engine or electrical issue, but my 2019 Honda Accord sport loses power at takeoff. Press the gas all the way to the floor but still lags at take-off. I have to pull over, turn off the engine, restart then go which is a huge safety issue and is very dangerous. Also, all of the dash lights are on which causes all of the safety tools, sport mode, cruise control, all road assist tools, and auto start to be disabled. This has been an issue for about 3 years, and every dealer tells me that there is a recall on these items, but when I look up my vin, it says my vehicle is not included in any of the recalls listed. Even though all of the things happening are signs of the recall issued. Please help me in what I need to do to get my vehicle included in this recall and get my vehicle back to safety requirements.

The SRS system intermittently shows inactive (red SYS light on dash) after starting to drive. When I stop and turn the car off and then on again the light goes away. It has been happening for a couple months now, and Honda says my car was manufactured 2 months before the date of the SRS system recall.

Mine 2019 Honda accord 1.5 turbo failed High-Pressure Fuel Pump on 8/12/2026 and Miami lakes Honda service center charged me to replace the High-Pressure Fuel Pump. I requested Honda corporation the reimbursement and the refused because they say it's caused by cranking the vehicle, they let me know I can't crank/start the vehicle because it damages the pump (I have the email they sent me for confirmation.) and repair invoice as well. Also, the car has been smelling gasoline, The pump developed cracks in the solenoid core, which lead to fuel leaks, fuel smell while idling or driving, and an increased risk of fire, crash, or injury.

This complaint details severe manufacturing defects, hazardous third-party wheel modifications, and an explicit failure to execute critical safety recalls on my 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport (Actual Odometer: ~30,00original miles).SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY FAILURE: The passenger-side seatbelt assembly randomly unlatches and completely disconnects while the vehicle is in motion on public roads without user input, leaving passengers entirely unprotected. The dealership completely omitted and ignored this life-safety issue when presented.STRUCTURAL WHEEL COMPROMISE & LOSS OF CONTROL: Dealership-provided third-party wheels were reinstalled with a total failure to mask off or mill down critical mating surfaces. This left an uneven layer of powder coating directly between the rims, hubs, and lug seats, causing severe tolerance variances, rotational runout, chassis vibration, and severe tire cupping. Furthermore, high-temperature thermal baking has structurally degraded the cast aluminum alloy wheel centers under load.SAFETY SYSTEM BLACKOUT (THE DITCH INCIDENT): Because the un-milled wheel faces left the chassis unstable and fighting steering inputs, the vehicle failed to stabilize during a minor defensive steering maneuver to miss a deer. The car entered a ditch and impacted a signpost with the driver-side mirror. This impact has permanently illuminated central dashboard warning lights and completely blacked out the vehicle's entire advanced driver-assist safety systems (Honda Sensing), rendering it illegal and unsafe to operate.UNRESOLVED MANUFACTURER RECALLS: The dealership has neglected to process and execute two critical safety recalls active on this vehicle: Fuel Pump Recall 21-027 (which can cause engine stall while driving) and BCM Software Update 20-039. dealership's refusal to coordinate safe, independent transport to clear these critical factory safety faults while holding the car under a predatory billing dispute places the owner and public at severe risk.

The engine continues to overheat and shut down while driving. The engine often goes into "limp" mode while driving. The entire set of gauges and lights on the dashboard light up like a Christmas tree, alerting me that all systems in the car are malfunctioning. I fear that I may have a malfunctioning head gasket. I've replace injectors, radar sensors, new turbo, gas pedal, etc and I have spent nearly $10,000 dollars and MANY, many hours at multiple Honda dealers, across various different states. This car is a lemon and I am upside down on the value of the car and what I still have financed. I wish Honda would take responsibility for their new turbo driven CVT engines that are failing.
