I got a recall notice for my car for fuel pump which I got it fixed but now the dealership is saying I got fuel injector issues with head gasket issues. I have also read online that lot of people are having exactly this problem, their fuel pump injectors are also failing with head gasket on the 2018 Honda Accord and Honda is requesting $2000 in fixes

Apparently the recall was fix with the fuel system, however the car is still losing power as you drive it.

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.

Engine can randomly blow a turbo of head gasket while traveling on freeway making you stranded in middle of the freeway and disable all the safety features while doing so. Extremely danger

The components and systems that are failing and malfunctioning in my 2018 Honda Accord are the engine, head gasket, fuel, injectors and turbo. While in motion, the car jerks and has issues with acceleration requiring the safety hazard lights to be come on and I-??m unable to keep up with marked speed limit while traveling due to the sluggishness of the vehicle. The majority of these issues have been confirmed by a Honda dealership as well as another car shop. There are several warning and safety hazard lights that come on and go off the dashboard. Many times, I have to pull on the side of the road due to not being able to drive this vehicle.

There is a recall for the fuel pump on Honda Accords. When Honda replaces the fuel pump, the fuel injectors starts misfiring. All the warning lights start goin on. The car says it is not safe to drive and to go to the dealer. The car is not safe to drive, after the fuel pump replacement. Customers have to pay around $2000 + $130-$150 for diagnostic analysis to get injectors replaced. It should have been part of the recall. This issue doesn't start until the fuel pump is replaced.

While waiting for the recalled parts to be in stock for the fuel pump module, my car starting running rough and going into limp mode several times a day. Thus causing near accidents with my children in the vehicle. After getting the fuel pump module recall fixed I asked and had to pay for a diagnostics test to see what was causing the car to do this. We were told it was the fuel injectors and were quoted $2000 to replace those. That was done 4 days ago at the dealer, and it happened again yesterday! We took the car back to the dealer today and they have just informed us we need to replace the head gasket & turbo and had a coolant leak causing these issues?! Why that was never seen in the original diagnostics test nor a problem 4 days ago, but after spending $2000 we did not have to keep our family and others safe, we are now being told it will cost over $5000 to fix these now issues. We can-??t afford that and now I don-??t know what I am going to do! Honda needs to step up to the plate and take some culpability here and be responsible for what clearly appears to be a much needed recall for 2018 Accords! This is ridiculous. And for the service advisor to tell us this happens all of the time to these, if not daily, should speak volumes!

My vehicle was under a recall for about 9months waiting for parts for Fuel pump to be available ( recall # 23v-858) to be available. While driving my vehicle went into LIMP mode in the middle of the highway causing me to swerve and have to off-ramp quickly to avoid high speed traffic. After my recall was completed January/25 my fuel injectors are starting to fail and same situation as before Limo mode in the middle of the high way. This is a domino effect from the fuel pump. Since the vehicle had a faulty fuel pump it caused an issue in the pressure and function of the fuel injectors. I find it outrageous for the consumer to have to pay for a safety issue that was cause by the company-??s faulty part and lack of agility to react and fix the issue before it effected other parts. This has been a none issue in this vehicle but yet the consumer is the one have to pay 6k out of pocket to get it fixed.

Three times, while driving, the car went into limp mode and would not accelerate. Had to pull over, turn car off, and back on to fix the issue. Have had it looked at and they have mentioned engine coils and a new control module. Had it at the dealership in January and they did their full inspection and to fix fuel pump recall and didn-??t mention any issues regarding this.

I received a Honda Safety Recall saying that fuel pump module may have been improperly moldered and could make it inoperable. On several occasions I have attempted to make service appointments with Piazza Honda of Limerick, which they have refused to help. They kept saying they didn't have the parts and when they did, they would let me know. I called 5-6 times and they kept saying the same thing. They were also the same dealership that when my car experienced a lot of the issues that were related to the fuel pump earlier in 2024, they fixed for me for around $2000. This is the only service center local to me and they're blatant disregard to repair a known safety issues after multiple attempts to schedule an appointment with them has led to this complaint.

Last year my car had a Recall for the fuel pump, I called my dealership in Branford CT to get this issues resolved. They kept pushing me off telling me they did not have the parts and to call back in October. I called back in October for them to tell me the will not be replacing my fuel pump because the recall ended. Well this year my Car started stalling, would not turn on, and the lights on my dashboard were all lighted up. I took it to Branford dealership Honda, where I always do and they told me it was a battery issues and made me pay almost $300 for that. A week later my car started the same issues and now told me it-??s related to the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and pump and wanted to charge me over 2k. If my car was fixed when the recall came out I probably wouldn-??t have this issue. I called American Honda and spoke to Jenna who was very rude, case [XXX]. I don-??t know how a huge corporation is okay with their customers driving a vehicle with issues that can potentially lead my car to catching fire and then forcing me to have to sue. I would like my fuel pump replaced at no cost bc I would not have had this issue to begin with if Branford Honda and American Honda Cared about their drivers. I-??ve always taken great care of my car you can see the history. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Christmas Tree dashboard with all lights on appeared a few weeks ago. Took car to auto shops twice. First time I was told coil 1 for cylinder 1 was misfiring, replaced with new coil. Lights did not go away, got my codes read again and was same error message of coil 1 misfire. In the past week car would not accelerate past 15mph after start up. I was immediately concerned it was a head gasket issue since that is a very known defect for my exact make and model of vehicle. Took into my Honda Dealership where I purchased my Accord brand new. Was just told Fuel injectors need to be replaced even though vehicle has been maintained properly. To me this seems this is directly correlated with the current fuel pump recall issue, I asked the service advisor if that was the case and she said she-??d get back with me, and that she-??s currently waiting to hear back from my Lifetime Powertrain Warranty company (Fidelity Warranty Services) to see if the fuel injector replacement is covered by them. If this make and model has time and time again been known to have faulty fuel injectors and head gasket issues that directly put the drivers safety at risk and end up causing thousands of dollars in repairs, Honda needs to take responsibility for rushing out vehicles without properly testing them first. If fuel injectors are not covered under my warranty, I will be contacting American Honda to assist me with the cost of the repairs.

DEFECTIVE RECALLED-REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMP? NHTSA Campaign # 23V858000 -??Fuel pump failure can cause engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.-?? My 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid had gotten 50 mpg in September & October of 2024 -?" as it had been getting consistently, reliably for the past six years. Also, I have Always driven 545 miles per tank of gas consistently, reliably for the past six years. My original fuel pump, which was recalled (NHTSA #23V858000), NEVER failed and operated perfectly efficiently for six years. In December 2024 I observed the NHTSA fuel-pump-recall and had the -??perfect-?? original fuel pump replaced. As soon as the -??New-?? fuel pump was installed at the dealership, my MPG dropped to 39mpg AND miles-driven-per-tank of gas dropped to 445 miles! Shocking! My 2018 Accord Hybrid lost 100 miles of driving Range, and mpg dropped to non-hybrid performance! This leaves me to question the SAFETY of the NEW Recall-Replacement fuel pump. Also, since the -??New-?? replacement Fuel pump was installed, my High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery Pack has been -??kicking-in-?? more frequently to assist the less efficient new fuel pump. This causes the gas engine to rev longer at high rpms whenever I start the car in order to constantly recharge the HV Lithium Ion Batteries that must assist the less efficient New fuel pump. It appears to be a precarious cycle of decline for both the fuel pump and HVLI batteries! Help! I would like NHTSA to determine: 1.Is the replacement fuel pump -??failing-?? from the time of installation" 2.Was a -??new-?? fuel pump actually installed, or was a -??defective part replaced in the original recalled fuel pump? 3.Is the replacement fuel pump not designed technologically as the original fuel pump? 4.How SAFE is the -??NEW Fuel Pump-??? 5.Are other Honda Hybrid owners who had their fuel pumps replaced under # 23V858000 complaining of poor performance" Is this a serious indication of rapid replacement (New) fuel pump failure?

Head gasket replacement Fuel injectors replacement Driving my car started sputtering and jumping. I took to Honda South to get it diagnosed. I was told it needed fuel injectors and a head gasket. Also to get other things done since the engine will taken apart (drive belt, timing belt, water pump). I started a conversation with a service mechanic in the lobby and told him my issue. He told me the 1.5 turbo engine has problems with the head gaskets and they see a lot of them.

OPEN RECALL ISSUES I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my concern regarding the unresolved recall issue with my 2018 Honda Accord. I am a resident of Columbus, Georgia, and have made multiple attempts to have this recall addressed by the local Honda dealership in Columbus, Georgia, but have encountered persistent difficulties. I have visited the dealership several times inquiring about when my recall can be fixed. On one occasion, I was informed that the manager stated the recall could not be addressed unless my car was experiencing visible issues. Despite explaining that I was already experiencing some of the issues outlined in the recall, I was denied service. A few months later, when I visited again, I was told that no parts were available for the recall. When I called a few weeks after that, my calls went unanswered. Most recently, after the birth of my child, I visited the dealership once again and was told that all parts for the recall were out of stock. I requested to be put on a list to be contacted once the parts became available, as I am concerned about the safety of my vehicle and the need to have the recall honored. Despite these repeated efforts, I have not received a resolution, and I believe my consumer rights are being disregarded. As per Georgia-??s consumer protection laws, including those concerning automobile safety and recall procedures, manufacturers are required to honor recalls and ensure that necessary parts are available in a timely manner. The continued lack of response and failure to address this issue is concerning, especially given the potential safety risks involved. Please do note and keep in mind that I have came to the Honda business about 3 times. I am undecided of the actual dates but the year was 2024. I know I went before I had my baby in September and after I had my baby I received a minor inspection due to me complaining.
