Driving on the highway at speed. Started to accelerate to pass. After a very brief moment of acceleration, it stopped accelerating. Engine light started flashing on the dashboard. Due to loss of propulsion, myself and one passenger were almost rear ended. I then engaged emergency flashers. Had to navigate multiple semi trucks on my right to coast to the shoulder. Once stopped on the shoulder of the highway, I turned off power to the vehicle, waited a couple minutes and re-started the vehicle. Vehicle started, engine light was no longer on. Drove away. Took vehicle to a Honda dealership the next morning. They kept the vehicle for a week and could not replicate the issue or find anything wrong upon inspection.

This is a follow up for NHTSA complaint 11452424. After the engine light came on along with other warning lights, like a Christmas tree and taking the vehicle to a Honda dealership with a almost $3700 repair bill for a vehicle with with under 88,000 miles. The dealership said the vehicle needed a head gasket. The problem is the dealership did not provide the error code numbers. They just gave a price due too coolant going into cylinder number 3. I asked the service rep for a break down the for repairs, which he said was provided. The only thing provided was coolant leaking into cylinder 3 with no codes that the dealership found with the engine light on. I filed a complaint with Honda to off set the repair cost. Mind you we are talking about a head gasket. Honda denied the claim and referred to lack of maintenance. When I told the representative I do my maintenance. He said it was because the dealership wasn-??t making money. Who in their right mind would pay $144 an hour maintenance when they can-??t be up front and provide codes that were thrown on engine light for repair bill. I think NHTSA needs to investigate Honda-??s technical service bulletins regarding cylinder misfires in 1,2,3 and 4. I am quite skeptical that a dealership can not list error codes on a repair estimate that they aren-??t hiding something. My family will never purchase another Honda and I will share this Story with everyone I know. Something is being hidden if the dealership doesn-??t provide error codes. I have never seen this in my 30 plus years of driving.

Sudden engine power loss; merging to highway speed was not possible. Risk to safety was the loss was when needing to merge with traffic at highway speeds. The dealership could not reproduce the problem. The check engine light did come on, but no codes were generated. The check engine light extinguished before the vehicle could be taken to the dealership. Only possible symptom, prior to the event, and still existing, is a lack of power, compared to when it was new. The dealership cannot confirm the cause of this power loss. There are other indications that there is a controls/computer problem, in my opinion. Power assist is not always available, but then suddenly engages, causing the car to jerk. My conclusion is that the vehicle does not immediately recognize the steering input. The problem is most pronounced when traveling straight, on the highway and needing to make a mild lane correction to maintain the lane. The vehicle does not immediately recognize the mild steering input until the steering wheel has been turned significantly. Once the steering wheel has been turned significantly and the steering input is recognized, the power steering engages, causing a sudden jerk and a need to recover control. The dealership has not been able to reproduce this problem. I have been able to temporarily resolve it, by momentarily engaging the Lane Keep Assist. Normal, expected power assisted steering is recovered for a period of time.

This vehicle has a safety issue when it comes to snow on the ground and driving on a hill/incline. I was driving my vehicle through snow in the Ohio/WV region and when I tried to drive up a hill with snow on the ground the vehicle stopped. The vehicle would not accelerate and it seemed the engine just shut off. So I put the car in neutral and pushed the gas and I was correct the engine had no RPMs. This caused a huge safety issue to myself and the people driving near me. As I had ZERO control over the vehicle on an incline. The cars coming toward me and the ones behind me had ZERO issues with their vehicles going up this hillside. I tried three times to shut car off and back on so it would give me a few seconds of acceleration, allowing me to get up the hill a few more feet before shutting off again and possibly causing an accident. When I took it to my Honda dealer they stated computer showed no issues with the vehicle. And they have not heard of the engine shutting down or not having RPMs with snow on the ground. They recommended that I have tracking control off next time allowing me full control vs. the computer of the car however, I DID have it off. Once they heard that statement they informed me I have no other options. Honda did tell me when driving in snow other messages can go off and the car is still SAFE to drive. Which it needs to be as this area has tons of snow. However, that is not the case if the car just shuts off. Prior to the issue, the car kept beeping non stop with warning of break system & adaptive cruise control. My sensors were wiped off prior to the car shutting off. Yet again you can't keep a sensor spotless driving on a highway with snow. Two of the warning lights that showed on my dashboard were not listed in the manual. I am now afraid to drive my vehicle with any snow coming down. I have been a Honda owner since the 90's and I no longer trust this brand.

My son was driving and car stalled and wouldn-??t accelerate. Engine light came on. He shut the car off and restarted. Thank god it happened in a rural road. No issues after restarting. Two days later engine light came on along with a Christmas tree of everything else. Took it to a friend who put it on his snap-on code reader. He said take it too dealership. Find out it-??s a fault head gasket. They want 3700 to fix. The car has 87000 miles on it. I have never seen a head gasket go bad on normal everyday cars. I thought Honda was reliable. I thought wrong.

Upon accelerating on a highway, the malfunction indicator light came on and the car lost power. Without drive power it was very dangerous to maneuver to exit the freeway. The dealership recognized that this was due to issues with the intercooler and PGM-FI software for this vehicle and is spelled out in a technical service bulletin (Honda 21-052). However, even though the car is under the original warranty, they want to charge over $250 for the repair.

I purchased my Honda Accord sport last month and had no issues 5,000 miles on it. But as I've been driving it the brakes are not operating as they should way too sensitive and is not a smooth process as it should be the slightest pressure makes it jolt forward. On idle my rpms start to lower then go up I don't believe this should be happening. I don't know if it's a vacuum leak, fuel pump or spark plugs but there is an issue.

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.

First time was around 12/12/2021.the engine or power shut off, RPM dropped all at once for about a minute then came back to life. The second time was 12/28/2020 on the same interstate 81fgoing about the same speed. This time I pulled off the interstate the car was still shut off. I restarted the car it drove ok and no more trouble that day. On 01/12/2020 it happened again on I 81 interstate and again it shut off or lost all power for about a minute then it recovered itself.this was a very bad situation as I was in 3 lanes of traffic with tractor trailers all around going 70 mph.I have reported this to miller Honda, three times. They took it in and tried to see if it would shut off on them.it did not at that time. Service manager could find nothing at that time.

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.

I purchased a brand new 2019 Honda Accord 2.0 touring in August 2019 in December 2019 the car stalled out on the interstate, they replaced the engine turbo, June 2020 same thing happened no repairs performed stated they couldn't find anything wrong open a claim with Honda customer service, on August 24,2020 car stalled out for the 3rd time again while driving on the interstate this is becoming to be a real safety concern because it just happens very randomly. Called again to Honda to report the issue and my warranty just ended today but when the breakdown happened I was still in warranty and I recorded the event this time. Breakdown mileage was 35,941 when this happens the car check engine light flashes and the car loses all power. This always happens during highway travel and highway speeds of 65mph or greater after driving the vehicle for a period of 2 or more hours straight. Once the car is stopped the check engine light goes off and once the vehicle is restarted it drives normal again.

During a highway drive during rain, the vehicle lost power and the check engine light started to blink. I was unable to maintain speed or move to the right lane and pull over because of traffic. A large 18 wheeler behind me almost rear-ended my vehicle. I pulled over and inspected the engine, water was able to get into the air box and appears cause the vehicle to enter limp mode. I had a co-worker with the same vehicle have the same probelm during rain storm. Dealer was unable to locted sotred code or find the problem.

I bough a brand new 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T touring from Honda cars of rockwall in tx around mid August and have since been driving the car on a daily basis. At around 12K miles I took the engine cover off to clean in the engine compartment, I ha ve discovered 2 small pools of oil just sitting between the rear side of valve cover and the engine block just directly under the PCV valve port. I have read several online threads that similar owners of the same car and the type R which has the same engine are experiencing the same issue with possibly wrapped head or defective valve cover

Car has gone into limp mode twice. First time was when I had it for 2 weeks. I was driving 65mph and the car just stopped in the highway. I had to get the car off the road to keep from getting hit and caused some undercarriage damage. The car was towed. Honda "fixed" the limp mode issue but refused to accept responsibility for any other damage caused by the car going into limp mode. Last month I was coming home from work at 2:30 am and the car went into limp mode again. The car was towed for a second time to a different Honda dealership where they stated there was no way the first dealership fixed the car. There were metal shavings noted throughout the system, the fuel injector and all of the cylinders had to be replaced. I am concerned about the metal shaving noted in my oil and throughout the system causing further engine damage as time goes on. Honda has also refused to pay for my rental car during this process even though it was a manufacturing issue. Honda customer service on 6/7/19 also stated that if the car goes into limp mode again and I get hit, all additional damage caused from the accident will be my responsibility.

We bought a brand new Honda Accord 2019(LX) on June 29, 2019. Not even a month later I.e. on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 7:49 pm my Honda Accord stopped in the middle of the highway due to unknown reason. Behind us was a truck and we were at 70 mph highway, we were about to be hit either by the truck or by the car on the right lane. Thanks to the truck driver and the person driving that SUV who stopped in time. We merely escaped death like situation. Post that I called Honda road side assistance and they asked me to move to a safe location and call them again. I tried to drive the car again and drove couple of miles where my car finally stopped moving and smoke started coming from the exhaust. Scared we quickly evacuated the car and moved to a safe location at 8:23 pm. Post that cops came to ask why we stopped there, we explained them the situation. We were told to stop the engine and wait there till the towing car arrived. I had so much trust in Honda and we are so traumatized with this situation and I still can't believe how this happened. This is a brand new car with total miles of 657 miles. I didn't expect this from a brand-new car. We were lucky enough to escape death on the highway. We were exhausted and terrified with this event. Yesterday Honda service center company called and told that the the turbo charger failed internally, causing oil to go into the exhaust system. This caused contamination of the catalytic converter and damaged the oxygen sensors. I am not sure if I can or anyone can trust Honda ever again. If something would have happened to me or my family will Honda be responsible for this. Question is do you still trust Honda ?

On 30 June 2019, my wife and I were driving back home to va from ok on highway 40 heading West near sallisaw ok. Road was wet and was climbing a hill.

I had to get over to the breakdown lane and drive about 6 miles to next exit at 25 mph. Pulled in at a gas station, open the hood, checked the oil which was good.
