Hello, the fuel pump which is recalled on my vehicle failed and was replaced with an aftermarket pump so I could take it to the dealership. Once I took it the dealership refused to go ahead with the recall and basically told me it-??s not their problem. They are required to get it done for customers but they refused to fix mine.

UNKNOWN I received the notice that there was an active recall on my 2018 Honda about the 1.5 Fuel Pump. I have scheduled several appointments to fix this, only for Honda to cancel all appointments related to the recall, stating they didn't have the part. I was headed to work, and every light on the dashboard that could come up, came up. There were several warning lights from brakes, transmission, collision, engine, etc. I took the car to the dealership, and they discovered that the fuel injector was the culprit. I am outraged because they're denying there's a connection, and I believe otherwise.

Various 2018-2022 Honda Accord owners had fuel injector failures caused by the faulty factory fuel pump molding. The fuel pump has been recalled; however, not before the fuel injectors fail. My Accord recently got an array of warning lights pop up on the dash while driving on the highway. I read the code and it was a cylinder 3 misfire. A diagnosis has led to the discovery that the fuel injectors are failing, most likely because of the bad fuel pump molding affecting the pressure of the fuel lines. Not only could this have led to my car stalling on the highway, it led to a complete disabling of my safety features while driving. Honda should be held responsible for the fuel injectors failing caused directly by their fuel pump molding deviation.

This car had a manufacturer recall for the "fuel pump". I was advised by Honda to go get the car checked by the dealer to evaluate if the issues I was getting were related to the recall. I paid close to $400 to get the car diagnosed and about 3/4 months after that I was told that the part is available for the recall service. I got the repair scheduled at the dealership and got the part replaced. Ever since I got this fuel pump replaced, now the car is struggling to pickup. It looks like a miss fire but it doesn't show any errors on display. In this condition, this car is not safe to drive around as it is skipping the engine thrusts. I have looked at Honda website and other online resources and people are talking about these issues but HONDA hasn't said or done anything about it. It all started after I got the fuel filter replaced.

About a week ago my all my dash lights came on dash. Doing some research I found there was a safety recall on my vehicle that I did not know about. I scheduled an appointment with Honda to get it replaced, they informed me that the fuel injectors needed to replaced and were causing misfires. They claim this is not directly correlated to the recall but I believe that it

Warning lights come all across the dash stating to see the dealer. I have taken it to the dealership and the issue is the fuel injector that causes the warning lights to go off and on at random. I still have a warranty of my car and was told the warranty does not cover that part. This is happening to a lot of honda accords but there is no recall for it. There is a safety issue for driving because they stay on and then go off and come back on again. This is unfortunate and unacceptable from Honda as a whole. I bought the car in May 2024 and the warning lights came on a week later and have been ever since off and on.

My vehicle is experiencing engine hesitation and it's getting worse every day I drive my car. This is a known side effect of the Honda Safety Recall notice I originally received in February of 2024. I received initial notification of a safety recall for my Honda vehicle in February of 2024 and it stated the safety issues of a possible faulty fuel pump modular. The letter expressed that they have no available parts but were working on getting them. I then received a 2nd letter regarding the fuel pump in May of 2024 and that parts were limited so they were focusing on customers who were experiencing side effect/safety issues with their car. I then received a 3rd letter in November of 2024 stating parts were ready and I just needed to contact my local Honda dealership to have my fuel pump modular replaced free of charge. I have called my dealership on at least two different occasions and have also taken my car in to Honda since then for general maintenance (oil change) and I keep being told they do not have the parts. The last time I spoke with them, I keep getting told that they do not have the parts. I am also always told they will probably call me in a couple weeks when they have the part but I never received that phone call from them. I can never seem to get a straight answer from them and am always told another excuse as to why my car and my family's safety is not important enough for them. I've even been told some of those replacement fuel pumps are needed for their newer cars.

Cylinder 1 and Cylinder 3 misfire (Cylinder 3 misfired multiple times, even after attempts to fix it), and now I have a blown head gasket. On more than three separate occasions, my car has either stopped completely in the middle of the road-?"sometimes on the highway in the fast lane, with cars traveling 80+ mph behind me, putting my life at significant risk-?"or it will suddenly drop from the speed of traffic (80+ mph) to under 30 mph in a matter of seconds, out of nowhere. If it weren't for me swerving into an open lane to the right one time, I would have undoubtedly been rear-ended by a car traveling 80 mph. In that instance, my speed went from 0 mph to less than 30 mph in just seconds, which could have easily paralyzed me or even killed me had I hit my head on impact. Though I didn-??t sustain a physical injury the first time this happened on the freeway, I did suffer a panic attack due to the sudden and extreme danger of the situation. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by two separate Honda dealerships at different times, but both were caused by the same issue. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer, as I had it checked at two different Honda dealerships. No, there were no warning messages or symptoms prior to the failure; all issues occurred suddenly while driving, when my car barely started producing any power on the freeway.

For the past four months, my check engine light has been turning on and off. One morning in traffic, my car suddenly went into limp mode. Fortunately, I was able to make it slowly yet safely to the nearest parking lot, but I had to get the car towed to different mechanics. Each one diagnosed a cylinder 4 misfire after running the computer diagnostics and checking multiple possible causes under the hood. A retired Honda mechanic mentioned he had seen this issue before and identified the fuel injector as the cause. When I researched my car on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, I found two different recalls. One related to fuel injector module failure and another for the fuel injector assembly. However, when I contacted Honda with this information, I was told that my VIN does not currently fall under the recall, despite experiencing the same exact issues. I was advised to get a diagnostic at a Honda dealership, which would cost a few hundred dollars, and then to submit a Goodwill request online, which is an unnecessarily lengthy process. I am requesting that Honda inspect this issue and add my VIN number to the recall, so I do not have to continue spending more money on a problem that appears to be a known defect.

While driving my 2018 Honda Accord, I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. At the same time, the check engine light came on, along with multiple other warning lights, which caused the advanced driver assistance systems to stop working. This put my safety at risk, as I was unable to speed up in traffic, creating a dangerous situation. A dealership confirmed that the issue was due to a fuel injector failure, which occurred just days after I had the fuel pump replaced under a recall. Before the failure, the only warning signs were the check engine light and an -??Emissions System Problem-?? message. I believe this issue may be directly related to the faulty fuel pump, which Honda delayed in replacing. If the defective fuel pump caused excessive strain on the fuel injectors over time, it could explain why so many owners, including myself, are experiencing premature failures. Given the safety risks involved and the growing number of similar reports, I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and hold Honda accountable for addressing the problem.
