At approximately 16:08 EST on Jan 1, 2022 I was traveling westbound on I-76 at mile marker 146.9 WB (40?02'03.0"N 78?29'50.0"W) in the center lane on a straight section of road at approximately 70mph. Car mileage was 21264 at the time of the crash. The weather at the time of the crash was light rain and with temperature approximately 50F. The car suddenly and for no apparent reason began skidding / fishtailing. I tried steering to regain control of the vehicle and applying the brakes to slow down, but the car continued fishtailing. I did not feel the anti lock brakes engage at any point during the skid. I went into the left lane, and struck the center concrete barrier, causing the airbags to deploy and the car to come to rest in the left lane. 3 symptoms appeared the day of the crash which had never happened before: 1) Several hours before the crash, the vehicle began handling strangely. It felt like there was either steering or brake input from the land keeping assist / adaptive cruise control / traction control systems which was "fighting" me and causing the vehicle to swerve slightly. These handling anomalies occurred randomly about 10 times immediately before the crash. 2) About 2 hours before the crash, the check engine light began flashing and there was a loss of engine power. I pulled over and restarted the car, which seemed to resolve the check engine light / power loss. 3) At one point the adaptive cruise control turned itself off and gave a message about traction conditions. To my knowledge the problem has not been confirmed or reproduced, and the vehicle has not yet been inspected by Honda, my insurer, or anyone else. As of Jan 6, the vehicle is currently in a yard near Altoona PA awaiting assessment, and is available for inspection upon request. I informed Honda about the crash on Jan 6, 2022. They gave me a case number and said to work through my insurer on next steps. Honda service bulletin 21-052 may be relevant to this incident.

I was driving on the highway doing a normal lane change then all of a sudden lost all control of the vehicle. Loss of power and maneuverability. I went into the side ditch where my vehicle completely flipped over. I had just got the BCM recall on my vehicle 5 days prior. I cannot explain how, only that my vehicle lost complete control for no reason, it was as if I had turned my engine off while changing lanes.

Shifts from drive to neutral when shifter is slightly contacted, such as removing a water bottle from cupholder near shifter console. This has happened at least 3 times including while driving and when idling. If this happens at 60mph you will slow down to a stop without brake lights lit, possibly in the middle of a highway, may result in rear end accident. I was lucky to have noticed and was able to shift back to drive without accident occurring. I am emailing service department at burns Honda regarding this problem today, as they are currently closed for thanksgiving.

Purchased new 2019 Honda Accord sedan on 07/17/2019. While driving on vacation in September 2019 on interstate going around 75 mph reached over to put cup in holder and lightly bumped gear shift. This moved gear shift back from drive to neutral. Did not touch button on front of stick to change gears! pushed back on stick to put back into drive and it moved back into drive without braking or using button on stick to change from neutral to drive. This happened again later in September on interstate while going 60 mph by hitting gear stick with my knee while repositioning legs in seat driving. Also once again in December on interstate while driving around 60 mph also bumping back of gear stick. I have had no repairs. Did ask service department at patty peck Honda why this was occuring and they denied that it was even possible.

Honda 6 speed manual transmission reverse gear lock out safety mechanism failed to work until now. The problem is still existed on my vehicle. After my car was serviced at Honda dealer for engine block replacement (failed at 3400 miles), reverse gear lock out do not work. Having the reverse gear gate located at far right, there must be electronic lock out mechanism not allowing the shift selector pass the 5th and 6th gear column when car is moving forward at certain speed. Since such function has failed on my car, I can easily move the shifter to the column where reverse gear is at any speed. Problem is if I shift from 5th to 6th, shifter slide into reverse gear gate and grinds at high speed. It caused another shifting problem and it maybe potentially safety issue at highway speed. When I shift from 4th to 5th, again shifter slides pass the 5th gear gate, and ends up miss shift since there is no forward gear on top of reverse gear selecting column. I fear the grinds shifting to 6th. I have been driving without overdrive for more than 1 month.. it could cause potentially dangerous situation accelerating at ramp to motorway. There are significant time delay accelerating with higher gears on freeway. Have been to Honda dealers 3 times. Unfortunately all of service advisors and techs were aware of the gear shifting safety feature which is clearly published in owners manual page 490.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact emailed Honda of covington (100 holiday square blvd, covington, la 70433, (985) 892-0001) because the tire pressure monitoring system indicator illuminated. On September 11, 2019, while driving 35 mph, the auto brake system suddenly engaged and stopped the vehicle. There were no vehicles in front of the contact at the time of the failure. The dealer was emailed again regarding the failure. Later, the vehicle moved on its own in reverse from a parked position and struck a neighbor's mailbox. There were no injuries. The manufacturer was contacted and roadside service towed the vehicle to the same dealer. The dealer stated that there was $3,700 worth of damage, but no failure codes were located. The contact researched and found numerous complaints and a lawsuit filed against the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 700. The VIN was unknown.
