While driving on highway, I had to break fast to avoid collision. immediately after breaking all the lights in the car lit like a Christmas tree and had the following message -??Emission System problem. Avoid heavy acceleration and high speed. See your dealer-?? I went to the nearest dealer service center and they recommended that I drive vehicle for ten minutes and see if it goes away. If it did not they asked to go back. I drove the car once again in the freeway and It seem to drive okay but then it suddenly shook a lot when pressing gas pedal and it did not accelerate. I used emergency lights and took first exit. Luckily there was a dealer within a couple of miles. Honda-??s service center technician stated after running the rough computer that it could be multiple things wrong with car but most likely the issue was the fuel pump and faulty emergency light switch. I was driving back home from school break and still had a 5 hour drive to get home. The cost to fix both issues was estimated at over $1800, my dad opted to get pump replaced (@ over $1300) since this was since most likely will get me on the road again based on conversation he had with technician. Technician also did not guarantee that this would solve the issue since there were many codes activated and would only clear codes after servicing vehicle and go from there.

I was driving on the freeway in Houston, TX going 65 mph in the middle lane and my engine begin to lose power, and start stalling. Almost causing me to wreck with my 8 yr old son in the back seat. I was advised by my the dealership that Honda has a recall on fuel pumpt with my year and model. I contacted Honda and was advised my car is the year and model of the fuel pump recall, but it wasn-??t effective by it. I feel that-??s very strange my car didn-??t apply to the recall, but it-??s doing the same thing other owners car doing with the faulty fuel pump recall. I am terrified by the incident and it has cause me so much anxiety and stress. I look to get my car repaired due to the recall and Honda isn-??t being helpful after myself and child almost had a wreck

Several warning lights appeared on the dash of my 2018 Honda Accord last week, including the check engine light along with several other warnings. The vehicle was acting very strange while I was driving it to the dealership, especially going up inclines. I was informed the fuel pump needed to be replaced, which has now been accomplished. The vehicle only has 34575 miles on it. In my lifetime, I have never had a car that needed a fuel pump replaced, and this one has less than 35,000 miles on it. I feel the fuel pump was inherently defective, not the result of normal wear and tear. I could not have driven this car safely any distance. It has now been replaced, but I believe this fuel pump could cause serious problems and accidents for others if not corrected.

My car ran good up until July 29, 2023. There was a slight tornado and lots of rain when I parked the car it was fine hour later it began to stall and became undriveable. I called my insurance company Progressive and called Honda of Manchester and Progressive had the car towed to Honda. They came back with the diagnosis of my HeadGaskit needs to be replaced my fuel injectors are miss firing and the piston rings needs to be replaced. I have 84,998 miles on the car and all of the maintenance records are up to date. Honda gave me a price of $4,800+ to have it fixed. Where I-??m concerned at is how can these many problems happen at one time and I had know warning signs it just stopped running all of a sudden.

We were told the fuel injectors were bad. This put us and others at risk as the car stopped moving when we pulled into traffic. The problem has been confirmed by the Honda Cars of Rock Hill dealership. The vehicle has been inspected by the Honda Cars of Rock Hill dealership. There were no warming lamps or messages that appeared before this happened.

In April 2023, our car's dashboard lit-up and we took the car to the Honda dealership. The service center diagnosed a misfiring cylinder caused by a fuel injection system problem, and we were advised that all fuel injectors need replaced. Symptoms of the fuel injector issue would be less vehicle power and the potential to stall completely, and the service center informed us to avoid driving long distances but that the fuel injectors were on national backorder. Honda has not provided any timeline or updates, or a loaner vehicle in the interim, even though it has been nearly 2 months. There were no warnings beforehand, and driving without replacing the fuel injectors is dangerous due to the risk of stalling. It has been stated this is not a unique issue, and the service center has multiple people waiting on these parts and fixes.

About two months ago when I was driving home from work, my car slowing down suddenly and it would not accelerate, so I pulled over to the side and cut it off the engine for 2 minutes then I started the engine back and it seems like nothing happened, I drove my car like normal everyday. Then one month later all the warning light came up so I called the honda service and I have to leave my car over there, then they called me, it has a problem with Fuel injector and it will cost about $1400 to replace the part and I said go head and fix it. They called me back that they could not get the part due to the back ordered and they do not know when they gonna get the part. They said it could be 7 days to 12 months to get that part. I am pretty upset about this matter. How can Honda do not have that part?? Anyway my car only has 32,000 mile and I always take car my car and it had problem already. I had Honda accord 2014 before and had no problem at all, that is why I bought another Honda Accord. It is such a disappointment and I can not believe that they don-??t have the part to fix the problem. I always like Honda for my car but I think I will not gonna buy Honda for my next car if they can not fix this problem.

On Easter 2023, my family and I were traveling when the check engine light came on. A warning indicated there may be an emissions problem. I contacted my local dealership the following morning and was told that there was a safety recall on seatbelts ( had no idea) and that I-??d have to wait until 5/1 in order to get a loaner. I was advised if I brought the car in sooner, I wouldn-??t be allowed to leave in it if needed parts weren-??t available. I was told that the car was safe to drive as long as check engine didn-??t flash. On 4/26, I was a block away from my home when several warnings began to illuminate all at once- -??adaptive cruise control is failing, see dealer-??, -?? collision mitigation braking system failure, see dealer-?? among several more warnings. I contacted the dealership again and was told to keep my appointment the following week. I took my car in on 5/1 and was told that I needed to replace fuel injectors at 68k miles! I was quoted $2100 for the repair and parts however the part can-??t be located due to being on a critical back order. It seems that staff at Honda have been provided a script to ask consumers to pay for the part in order to be given an eta which is ridiculous. I questioned why the dealership couldn-??t order the part and I pay once it arrives to ensure my car received the part. 2 weeks later and still no ETA. Honda should honor their brand and customers and issue a recall as I-??ve read this is a frequent problem on the 2018 model Accords.

Check engine and 11 other warning lights appear. Dealership reports it as faulty fuel injectors and driving should be avoided or limited. The repair is covered under an extended warranty as there is apparently a known issue with design of the parts used in manufacturing. The issue is no parts are available to repair it under warranty however dealership claims they can fix it for cost of about $1500 using -??other fuel injectors.-??

There has been a series of constant issues with this model and each issue has been brought to a certified Honda dealership and was supposedly "fixed" engine code P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire),P2651 B rocker arm Actuator system, P0087 Fuel Rail/system pressure, P0304, P0303 cylinder 3 and 4 misfire, engine temperature always above normal. These issues on multiple situations has put my safety and the safety of others at the highest risk. The motor vehicle due to these issues randomly would lose power to the point where stepping on the gas doesn't not accelerate the car, forcing me to stop in the middle of the highway having other vehicles stop suddenly and swerve around me with children in the vehicle. Another occasion going up a hill the car beings to stutter losing power resulting to the car shutting off, forcing me engage These reoccurring issues have also randomly caused the vehicle to not start. Multiple warning signs are lit across the dashboard. These occurrence are random with no warning sign The vehicle has been brought to the same dealership numerous times claiming each issue was fixed but within a few weeks more issues came. The last visit i was told as a "solution" i need to buy a new engine out of pocket, unacceptable for a Honda engine with 64000 miles on it. This oil dilution issue need a proper answer before someone is serious injured.

I have taken my Honda because of engine misfiring. They said there is coolant seeping in the pistons and we red a new engine gasket and the cost is $4,000. All the warning lights are turning on and alerting the driver but when I took it in and paid $380 they can-??t figure out why these are turning on. The fuel injectors and belt are another item that has been alerted to being an issue. These are problems my 20 year old car has not encountered and this is a 2018. The airbags warning has been an issue at least once every few months.
