The current documented Recall for the fuel pump cannot be rectified until fall of 2024. I need to us this vehicle however its a safety concern to operate the vehicle with the possibility of injury or accident. My insurance company "farmers" will not cover me in the event of an accident or injury brought on by this recall/defect. With that said all liability is on me for using the vehicle when this is a Honda problem they cannot fix for another 6 months. I drive 100 miles a day with this car which places me at a higher risk of this happening. This is not fair or safe to put the consumer in this predicament. This is another case of firestone tire recall scandal where they ran the numbers and saw it more in favorable to save money then to save lives. Honda will not pick up a loaner nor do I have the income to support another vehicle. This is wrong.

I received a notice that my car has a recall for a faulty fuel pump system. over the last year i have been dealing with the issues of this problem and have to multiple mechanics and no one could figure out what was wrong until this recall came out. I have had my car stall on me multiple times on the freeway, my car will idle rough all the time, poor fuel consumption and my check engine light goes on and off all the time. Because of this I have been unable to drive my care for months. I called John Hinderer Honda in Newark Ohio late January since there was finally a remedy available and scheduled my care to be fixed for the recall. I dropped it off on [XXX], upon arrival an employee sat in my car and noticed that it was idling rough. I get a call the next day from them stating that because the check engine light is not on at the moment it is not a concern for them at this time to fix the recall on my vehicle even after everything that has happened in the last year.

I purchased my vehicle from Lithia, Inc. d/b/a Wilde Honda in Waukesha, Wisconsin new. Wilde Honda serviced the vehicle on [XXX], after I reported that all lights in the vehicle were coming on. In addition, I experienced an incident on the highway where my car failed to accelerate, putting me in extreme danger. On [XXX], after my vehicle was returned to me, I experienced substantially similar issues immediately, with the same problems accelerating, all of the dash lights coming on, and a rumbling and jittering sound when the vehicle was first started. Wild Honda charged me $4,956.36 for repairs, which did not resolve any issues. I wrote to Alex Reed of Wilde Honda regarding these issues. Mr. Reed assured me that the underlying problem was resolved by replacing a fuel injector, and I was charged an additional $350. On [XXX], I again experienced the same dangerous issue where all the lights came on. Once again, I found myself on the highway, unable to accelerate and faced with a dangerous situation. I have made repeated demands to Lithia to reimburse me for the repairs charged to me, as well as for the fair market value of my vehicle as it can no longer be operated safely. Lithia d/b/a Wilde Honda has made no efforts to resolve this situation and disclaims all responsibility. After researching this issue, I discovered that In October 2018, American Honda notified dealerships that vehicles equipped with a 1 1.5L turbo direct-injection engine -??may experience engine oil dilution-?? and that this -??may result in increased oil level and can cause a [cylinder] misfire-?? and cause a variety of symptoms including a check light indicator due to an engine misfire, a low oil pressure light, and abnormal engine noises. In fact, American Honda reached out and requested that dealerships contact them if the dealerships came across similar issues that plagued my vehicle as American Honda was trying to determine the underlying issue.

All the warning lights turn on and the car loses power when accelerating. It shows the check engine code P0301. The spark plug and coil are fine. Potential issue is the fuel injector leaking.

After this car was repaired by the body shop, all the automatic systems in the car started flashing and no one could figure out why. It went to four different repair shops over several months, till finally they convinced me to purchase another vehicle when this one was going to be paid off in two months. This problem was well documented by several repair places, and ultimately since it was unrepairable I had to trade it in and got bottom dollar for a non-running car that I owned since the beginning and got screwed.

Safety Issue: Excessive Emissions and Melted Catalytic Converter(environmental risk)/Fire Risk My car needs all new fuel injectors. If you read online, fuel injector issues are rampant on Honda vehicles. North City Honda in Chicago diagnosed the vehicle. The parts are on backorder. I called Honda of Grandville Michigan and they also have injectors on backorder. They told me they have 15 cars waiting on injectors, the longest has been waiting an estimated 90 days. This is further evidence the issue is rampant, greatly exceeding the manufacturer's demand plan for fuel injectors. The error codes state my car is running too rich (among others). A vehicle that is running too rich risks unburnt fuel entering the catalytic converter, where it can combust and melt the converter, causing further safety and environmental risk. The error message I'm receiving says "Emissions System Problem. Avoid heavy acceleration and high speeds. See your dealer". The error message in my HondaLink app says "The engine is not operating properly. Limit your driving and visit your dealer as soon as possible. If the indicator is blinking, stop in a safe place where there are no flammable objects. Turn off engine for 10 minutes or more to let it cool. Restart the engine. If the indicator continues to blink, immediately have your vehicle checked by a dealer." Honda's own message states there is a potential fire risk. Yet, if all the parts are backordered for 90+ days, potentially thousands of customers will be forced to continue driving on a risky vehicle.

Faulty Fuel Injectors has been a common problem with 10th Gen Honda for a lot of people, including myself. It starts off the same, all of the warning lights turn on in the dashboard randomly, we take it to the dealership and they say they need to replace the fuel injectors, with a estimate cost of $1,500+. How is that possible with low mileage cars" Even the lady who helped me at the Honda dealership told me that they should issue a recall for the fuel injectors because it is a common problem that so many people are experiencing across the nation. If you decide to have it replaced at the dealership, you have to wait months for the part to come in because there is so many orders for the same part. How has a recall not have been issued yet"! I looked online and this is a common problem that people have been having for years!

I took my vehicle to Gregg Orr Honda in October when my dash lights were flashing again after having the fuel pump replaced in September. I was told that my fuel injectors needed to be replaced and that a fuel injector kit would be ordered. I have called several times since October, the last call placed in December of 2023 and I was told that the injectors are on back order and not sure when they will be in! What kind of customer service is this? Then he proceeds to tell me that he had ordered 7 fuel injector kits that week, I-??m sure that a recall needs to be made on these fuel injectors as well because not everyone fuel injectors are going out at the same time.

Car would shake in the morning would wait till warmed. Immediately brought to Honda where I had a diagnostic completed approx. 9/3. Reports says head gasket. Car well taking care (maintenance) no reason for blown head gasket. Got a second opinion They had the car for a week. No warning lights, and did another diagnostic and nothing showed at the time. Brought the car home. After a few months waiting for warning sign or other signs it took a couple of few months for the engine light to come on and it slowed down and came to a stop. Had car towed to Honda. Called Honda corporate. After finding out they weren't going to cover the cost of $5000+ knowing this has absolutely nothing to do with the customer being negligent with car. I can not afford that kind of money and had it towed to the same mechanic where we are still waiting for the parts to come in from Honda factory and it's been in his possession for 2 weeks. I had to get a rental which Honda would not cover. There is no way that a car that is 5years old under 80,000 miles should have engine work unless it was not cared for properly. I have proof of continuous maintenance. I should not be held reliable for malfunction parts on the car and other Hondas are having the same issues. It was very dangerous and scary having the car shake when driving and not being abled to accelerate on the gas with no warning of any. I had it towed 2x to 3x waiting and praying that Honda will be responsible.

We were notified by carfax a couple of weeks ago that my 2018 accord had a recall on the fuel pump. I called my Honda dealership and they told me there was no recall. Then yesterday the nhtsa and the manufacturer updated their sites to confirm there actually was a recall. I called Honda today and the rep told me that there is no remedy yet and the nhtsa website states there's an increased risk of crash and injury. What is the allotted time the manufacturer is given to remedy this problem? Because now I'm not going to drive my car because I don't wanna die and leave my wife and kids behind.

Fuel pump or injector has malfunctioned. It is has already been inspected by a Honda dealer. Safety at risk because there was a recall on the fuel system of Hondas in 2020. I purchased this vehicle in 2021 and was not made aware. The vehicle could stall and cause an accident. No other problem currently reported on the vehicle. I was just sitting in a parking space when the engine light came on.
