My vehicle is a 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid with 12,075 miles on the odometer. I was driving to work in the morning of 09/22/2021. The condition was dry and the outside temperature was around 60 degrees. I was merging onto the interstate in sport mode when all-of-the-sudden my car went into a limp mode. The check engine light began flashing and car lost 90% of its power. The engine made a knocking noise and began to shudder violently. I tried to switch it out of sport mode to get it back into Eco but the message displayed on the dash said something like "Unavailable at this time." I was about a mile and a half away from work and was able to creep along the road to make it there as it was losing more and more power. When I got to work (with the engine still running) I lifted the hood and the engine was still shaking hard. I scheduled an appointment with the local dealership to have it looked at that afternoon at 2:00 pm. When I drove it to the dealership 3 miles away, the check engine light was no longer flashing and the engine seemed to run fine. When I called the service advisor later that afternoon to check the status of my car he told me, "The technician drove the car around with the scan tool plugged into it and it drove fine. He wasn't able to pull any codes from the PCM." I find it to be odd. In my experience, whenever the CEL illuminates, a malfunction code will be stored in the PCM until it is cleared. Why would Honda program the PCM to reset and hide the malfunction code so that we're not able to diagnose the issue? I did take the car into the dealership earlier this year to get a warranty battery replacement and to perform 2 recalls (one was an emission recall and the other was for the BCM).

On 3 separate occasions my Honda Accord 1.5T has lost power while driving in traffic. All of the warning lights came on, and I could not go over 10 mph. Fortunately i was able to turn onto a side street each time. I turned off the the engine and after a few minutes restarted...only once was I able to regain power and drive home with normal power. My car went to the dealership each time, and they have told me they cannot duplicate the issue. And now the dealership has had my vehicle for almost 2 months. The service agent said he has never seen anything like it, and when I mentioned specific articles about the turbocharged 1.5 engine online, he discounted them saying, "anyone can write stuff on the internet". Honda dealership and Honda Corporate has no solutions, other than just live with it. A car slowing down in heavy traffic or on the expressway is a major accident waiting to happen, and Honda doesn't seem to care.

I was on a very busy interstate highway during a rainstorm going between 60 and 70 MPH. I was in the left lane when the check engine light came on and it went into limp home mode and my speed was immediately reduced in heavy traffic. I was lucky enough to move to the slow lane and then to the break down lane and get to an exit. I pulled in at an area I could shut the car off. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and started the car and the check engine light was off and everything has been normal since then. This was extremely dangerous. The speed dropped below 40 very suddenly and then 30 and then 20 on an interstate. The next day I went to the local Honda dealer and described what had happened and they said they had seen this happen before and talked about the radar and the collision mitigation system possibly being the problem. They said they never saw any codes set in the other vehicles so since mine was off I did not have it checked. I have recently had it checked at my local Honda dealer for transmission issues and they could not find anything either concerning the check engine light, but it has been a couple of months since the incident.

A/C started blowing warm air intermittently at about 45K. But noticed A/C wasn't as cold. When showed to dealer, advisor ran A/C and said its ok. At 60K miles, no A/C, just warm air. Took it to A/C store, they found leak and told us most of the new Honda with the new A/C systems are having leaks because of the new freon causing issues. Honda refuses to fix it under recall.

Loud humming/whining noise occurs while driving at speeds between 35-50 mph. The only way to stop this ear splitting noise is to crack a window. According to the dealer, it is a known-issue with the automatic noise cancelling system in 2018 Honda Accord and later. Honda hasn't been able to fix this issue in over 3 years. It is extremely distracting to the driver, not to mention unsafe to have to drive with the window open in freezing temperature and rain. It happens to me almost every time I drive, especially in temperatures below 50 degrees.

2018 Honda Accord hybrid touring - loud humming noise while cruising at 52mph. Read google and you'll find many others have similar issues but no known resolve. Have been repeatedly able to reproduce and it can be obnoxious at times but of course Honda denies any knowledge of the issue and claims they are unable to reproduce.

It seems that my remote starter is causing errors. Occasionally when I use it during cold weather. I try to start remotely and it starts for a second and then cuts off. I get in and notice several maintenance alarms telling me to see a dealer when I start the normal way. All safety features seem to be disabled but still driveable.the only way to erase these codes is to disconnect the battery. Then I can go several times with out it happening again. I took to dealers and they found no issues, I told them to just replace the battery, even though that wasnt recommended. I thought it helped, but then the issued occurred again a week later. It is scheduled to be look at by the Honda dealership.

The car had a strong smell of fuel in cabin when starting on various occassions. The car also temporarily stalled and lost power when coming to a corner turning and also three times when coming off the freeway. The car was always warmed up and in California during the warm weather. Dealer noted fuel smell in oil and increased oil level. Had oil changed and was told a fix was coming soon. Took car in to dealer months later for a recall, a BCM recall and again I told them that the oil smelled of fuel after 500 miles since oil change. Waiting for manager to call me back with update on fix. It is a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 litr turbo. 26,000 miles on motor. I bought the car from the dealer in January 2020.

Driving down the highway going 70mph and check engine light starts flashing. Car stops accelerating I limp over to the median. I turn the vehicle off and turn it back on. The car has a solid check engine on along with all the assisting lights on. The car accelerates like normal and when I get home I disconnect the battery and everything clears once I reconnect. In another instance I go to turn my car on the check engine light stays on but the vehicle won't go past 1500 rpms and it's basically in limp mode with the check engine light on again to go along with road departure system, vehicle stability system, tire pressure monitoring, brake system, electric power steering, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation and emission system warnings all light up. I did the same thing disconnect the battery and again they all go away. This has been going on for a month. At least 9 times where all the warning lights come on along with the check engine light. Once when I'm traveling as explained and 2 times where it goes into limp mode from the start. Took vehicle to a friend and got a P0303 cylinder 3 misfire. Having done research of the code noticed that 2012-2018 Honda's have had similar issues addressed by a bulletin and extended the warranty for those vehicles. My car has 70K and it's currently out of the warranty period. Thank you.

Purchased in May 2019. Currently < 50,000 miles. All service performed at Honda dealership. Several weeks ago began to notice gasoline smell in the cabin while driving. Didn't think much of it, though it was coming from the outside/other vehicles. Check engine light came on last week. Took the vehicle to the dealership for service, was told the fuel injector needs to be replaced, cylinder 3 issue. Last resort was to do a fuel injector cleaning service, had that done. Two days later, while driving 70 mph on the highway, the vehicle would no longer accelerate. Immediately pulled over without incident but could have been very bad. I am not convinced the fuel pump problems that required a recall for many 2018 Accord with 2.0T engines are not also impacting 1.5T engines.

Engine knocks and hesitates when accelerating especially uphill. Ocean Honda in North hollywood, California has checked, did drive tests and kept my car for 2 weeks and assured me the knocking and hesitation were gone. They even insisted they did not encounter any knocking nor hesitation when accelerating and driving uphill. It always does both and never went away.

On 10/29/2020, while changing lanes, the vehicle abruptly cut the power and slammed the brakes, while flashing "brake" on the instrument panel. There were no vehicle in close proximity in the lane in to which the change was performed. The radar sensor on the vehicle has previously cause a number of issues and this was an extreme case of the cmbs (collision mitigation brake system) reacting improperly. The vehicle deceleration was abrupt to the point of potentially causing the incoming traffic in the new lane impacting the vehicle from behind. Honda's representatives had sworn last winter, when the radar sensor had malfunctioned to the point of causing a catastrophic failure that cascaded to several of the vehicle's safety systems that "issues would not happen again." That was a lie. Currently, there is a class action lawsuit against Honda related to the safety system in the CR-V models: Https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2020/Honda-CR-V-sensing-lawsuit-SUVS-suddenly-stop.shtml considering that the similar radar sensors are used in the Pilot, Odyssey, Accord and the cr-vs, an investigation and a recall should be launched for the majority of Honda model produced since 2016. Again, the system has malfunctioned a number of times, with Honda failing to address the issue properly upon several complaints and visits to a dealer.

Car lost complete engine power and was in traffic, in motion and luckily could coast into parking lot. Honda is claiming a modified ECU and is disputing warranty. I have owned car since new and have never modified anything on the car. The car has been properly maintained by me and only has 48,914 miles on the vehicle. A Honda dealer diagnosed it so far as having a broken spark plug tip and the piston is not moving up and down -cylinder 1.

After 3 months of new car ownership and appx 2000 miles when you hit 52 mph there's a loud roaring noise that abruptly stops. Its louder in cold weather. Same noise also happens at lower speed of appx 35 -49 mph but is muted. Car has been into dealer 5 times for same issue ad Honda hasn't been able to fix. Noise happen on any road while in motion. 1st dealer check was in Nov 2018. I filled complaint number: 11303013 but have never heard back from anyone. Multiple Honda hybrid owners have this problem.

Most times when slowing down then hitting accelerator, to speed back up, the car "stutters" indicating it is being robbed of fuel. Noticed Honda has a recall in for fuel injectors, but my car is yet to be covered.
