Vehicle exhibited electronic brake booster failure after less than 100 miles of driving. The brake pedal has a hard "step" in it, and grabs very suddenly once the step is overcome. This makes smooth braking, especially when coming to a stop, nearly impossible. The suggested fix is to replace the electronic brake booster (01469-tva-A24). The new brake booster should return the brake pedal to normal, and restore a smooth linear brake. This is a known safety issue with the 2018 Accord as the part (01469-tva-A24) is on national backorder. This should be a recall and my vehicle will spend over 2 weeks in the shop!!!

Brakes grabbing and almost uncontrollable. At low speeds, touch brakes lightly and they do little to stop the car. Depress brakes harder and the pedal 'steps' in and the brakes grab abruptly. Very difficult to brake smoothly / non-abruptly. As a result, at least one time ABS kicked in prematurely when road surface covered with snow. But core problem (grabby brakes) are irrespective of road surface.

With 30 miles on my new 2018 Honda Accord 1.5L touring the brake alarm activated and the brake pedal became extremely hard to press. It was dangerous and I didn't know if I could stop the car. The dealer replaced the electric brake booster to fix the problem. There are many owners on the internet reporting the same problem.

Bought vehicle Nov 22,2017. The following week when commuting home from work a light came on while using driver assist showing collision mitigation system problem. See your dealer. We took it to the dealer and reported the problem. The shop foreman said to take a photo if this happens again. The following week it happened again in the commute home while using driver assist showing the same message. I took the car back to the dealer the 2nd time and they kept it a few days so the foreman could replicate the issue. He couldn't replicate it and told us to take it back and take a photo and record if it happens again. He also thought our commuter transponder might be interfering with the Honda computer technology. The 3rd time on the commute home was a scary situation when not only the light came back on, the brakes engaged at approx. 55 mph and we thought someone rear ended us in the fast lane on the freeway. Thankful no one hit us or us hitting them. Took the car back to the dealer over 2 weeks ago and and they are trying to replicate it once again. Now the car is not safe to drive due to the fact the brakes angaged on the freeway at 55 mph. We refuse to drive it. The dealer called us to drive it because they installed a recording device when it happens again. This didn't make sense to us to subject anyone to a possible accident. We understand they are trying to replicate it but someone could be hurt or killed. We are in limbo and are very disappointed.
