I was told the best thing to do was report it here. Our son was driving his 2019 Honda Accord and suddenly everything on his dashboard lit up. Was told it is a blown head gasket. We were also told that the shop has had over 81 Accords in with the same issue. They said Honda is trying to sweep it under the rug rather making a recall. We were told this is what they see: The head gasket material between cylinders is very tiny, any minor disturbance will cause coolant to leak into the cylinder. Usually failures are happening between cylinders 2&3 where the material is the thinnest. 2) Honda is really trying to get a lot of power out of this small engine with the inclusion of the turbocharger. Higher octane fuels are needed to prevent premature detonation / knock, especially with forced induction (turbo charger). You can still run the car using 87 octane, but the chances of problems like a blown head gasket happening increase. 3) The head bolts that keep the engine head to the engine block are not strong enough. These bolts are torque to yield at around 50 ft lbs (if that). There have been instances where these bolts don't have enough clamping force to withstand the pre-detonation. This force causes the head to jump and the bolts to stretch. The heat from the combustion in the cylinder is no longer contained, which warps and damages the head gasket over time, leading to its failure. It was suggested to use ARP studs which we were told are a higher quality than the OEM Honda head bolts and have a stronger clamping force. Our son ended up stranded 3 states away with this issue that we then learn is VERY common yet there are no recalls.

Radio/Infotainment system displays: Please insert USB drive containing valid software license file and press OK. I do not have a software license. The dealer asked me on 12/19/25 to contact American Honda. I got a case # that day of #XXX and was assigned a case manager who then went on vacation from 12/25 to 1/5. I understand that. Since then, Case Manager and American Honda is not responding to my calls or Jeff Wyler Honda Dealership in Cincinnati Ohio. The dealer said they need the USB with the license info. American Honda is not responding. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In May 2022, the air conditioning condenser on my 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid was replaced due to AC failure. In April 2023, shortly after purchasing the vehicle following a lease buyout, I returned with the same AC issue and was told the condenser may have been defective and it was replaced again. I then took the vehicle to another authorized Honda dealership, where I was told the condenser may not have been replaced previously, and it was replaced again. Dye was added to the AC system at South Motors Honda to identify a leak. Despite this, Largo Honda later charged me again to add dye, stating they could not access the prior dealership-??s diagnostic records, even though both are Honda-authorized dealerships. After continued AC failure, two authorized Honda dealerships have now diagnosed the issue as a leaking air conditioning evaporator and documented the failure with video evidence. Loss of air conditioning impacts driver safety by impairing windshield defogging and creating unsafe cabin temperatures, particularly in hot weather. This represents a premature failure of a non-wear component. This issue has persisted since 2022. The manufacturer declined repair assistance despite repeated repairs and dealer-confirmed diagnostics.

This has happened out of the blue and randomly more than once recently. loss of power/no acceleration. once it had no acceleration when taking off from a stopped position, and then again it lost acceleration while driving at a speed of around 50MPH the car would no longer accelerate, had to pull off to the side of the road and turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes and then restarted the car and it resumed to function normally. there are no codes in the system, no warning lights, this has happened 4 different times now. Honda says they cant do anything if they cant make it repeat the problem when they diagnosis it and if the system doesnt have any active codes in it.

I pulled over on the highway turned the car off and back on. It begins driving again normal. The next morning it was mis firing so I took it in to the dealer and this is what I was told after getting a diagnostic check: FOUND CYLINDERS 1 AND 4 LEAKING COOLANT FROM THE HEAD GASKET. I RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAD GASKET, FUEL INEJECTORS, AND SPARK PLUGS. HEAD MAY NEED RESURFACED. INCLUDED IS ALSO OIL CHANGE

On May 13, 2025, I took my car to the Honda dealership, because all of the lights on the dashboard came on. I was told that the clips on my turbocharger needed to be replaced, and so Honda fixed that $120 (diagnostic fee) $209.99 to fix the issue. I was traveling so they kept the car for a week. I received the car back, and about 2 weeks later, 06/03, the same thing occurred, I was told that the engine air filter needed to be changed, and it caused the lights to go off $32.84. The next day 06/06, the lights went off again. I took my car back to the Honda dealership and they had the car from 06/09 - 09/04. Today they have reached out to say -??It took a while to recreate the issue because they are -??masking each other.-?? There is a leak in the head gasket, and the turbocharger is going out.-?? It would be cheaper to buy a used engine and used turbocharger than to have it rebuilt.-?? I have spoken with other Honda owners, who have a 2018-2022 Honda accord, that have experience the same issue.

Vehicle Information: Make: Honda Model: 2019 Accord Sport VIN: [XXX] Mileage: 90000 Date of Initial Recall repair under service bulletin 19-091: 6/02/2023 Issue Description: Type of Complaint: Non-safety related but performance-affecting system failure (A/C system). Description of the Problem: In 2023, the A/C system in my 2019 Honda Accord Sport began to leak refrigerant due to a faulty A/C condenser and O-rings. The vehicle was repaired under Honda service bulletins (S/B 19-091, S/B 21-014-?"21-018), which replaced the condenser and O-rings. Within two years of this repair, the same issue has occurred again: refrigerant is leaking from the A/C system, leading to a failure of the system to cool properly. Despite the initial repair being done under warranty, I am being quoted for additional repairs, which suggests a systemic issue with the A/C system. There is no recall issued for this problem, but the fact that the issue has recurred so soon after a factory-approved repair raises concerns about the durability and quality of the parts involved. Safety Impact (If applicable): While this A/C failure is not immediately safety-critical, a malfunctioning A/C system could lead to driver and passenger discomfort during extreme weather, potentially distracting the driver and compromising the vehicle-??s overall comfort and performance.

On three occaisions, the driver safety assist system shut off. Each time there were no obstruction in radar and the day was not a hot day. The auto assit cruise control shut down to. Shutting the car off seemed to reset. I was unaware by pressing the main swith on steering wheel will reset the system. But as I said turning off the vehilce seems to reset. I checked lane departure but it affected all safe driving systems. Your system would only allow me to check one box it would not let me check.
