On three occaisions, the driver safety assist system shut off. Each time there were no obstruction in radar and the day was not a hot day. The auto assit cruise control shut down to. Shutting the car off seemed to reset. I was unaware by pressing the main swith on steering wheel will reset the system. But as I said turning off the vehilce seems to reset. I checked lane departure but it affected all safe driving systems. Your system would only allow me to check one box it would not let me check.

I received a letter in the mail stating that my fuel injections had a recall. 2024 Feb-Mar. Letter stated that I would not be able to get it fit until the fall because Honda Parts were backed up. At about May all my dash board lights were on, check engine, TPS, tire pressure. I assumed it was from the recall. At that time I had about 120,000 or 130,000 on my car, I'll have to check my oil change reports. Nov 2024 I was finally about to get my fuel injection fix, per the dealership. Lights were still on afterwards. Now February 2025, I get it check out, I need a new Turbo and an Engine because my gasket has blown. About December of 2024 I noticed I had issues with accelerating. My car jerks causing me some safety issues. This is my only car. I am afraid to drive it.

On January 22, 2025, I was driving at highway speed and suddenly my car seemed to lag in power. It slowed from about 60mph to 40mph and pressing on the gas did not do anything. The Check Engine light began flashing. I felt like it would continue to slow down and it was rush hour. I managed to safely exit the freeway and parked the car. I turned it off, waited a moment, turned it back on. It seemed ok so I drove carefully using back streets to the local Honda dealership. They kept the car for 2 days and ran tests but nothing showed on their computer and they could not replicate the problem. They gave me the car back. I saw another recall today for other models of Honda that have this exact problem. My car has 41700 miles on it. The weather was cold but clear. This is the first time this has happened.

for the past 3-4 months it started off with shaking. once i would try to accelerate it it would choke. took it to the dealer ship and they had it for almost 2 months. Supposedly the engiens head gasket tend to blow for those type of cars model and year. i was called yesterday that it was ready after almost 2 months. not 3 hours went by and the issue started to happened again. i have my kids if a accident would of happened my kids would of been injured. if it has happened to many honda accords 2019 1.5 sport why not do a recall on it. it could cause my life my kids or someone else in the road.

Mid October 2023, we driving on the freeway and the car started to slow down on its own. We could not accelerate to match the speed of cars around us or to get the speed limits in a 55 to 65 zone, making it dangerous for us and others to continue driving on the freeway at extremely slow/low speeds. We towed it the dealership, who said it was defective spark plugs. This car was only 4 years old with extremely low millage and the spark plugs should've last a lot longer. They changed the spark plugs under warranty. Late November 2024, we were getting off the freeway and the check engine light came on but there were no service codes. Everything was running normally except for the engine was making a loud noise. We parked at a shopping center and approximately 30 minutes later, restarted the car and all these messages and icons appeared for: Vehicle stability assistant system problem, Hill start assistant problem, ACC, Collision Mitigation breaking system problem, Road departure mitigation system problem, Emissions system problem, TPMS, Brake system problem, Electric power steering system problem. Towed it dealership and after an hour of diagnostics testing, they said it-??s the spark plugs again! Just a little over a year and 2 out of 4 spark plugs are bad again. This is not right. We hardly drive this car and it-??s only a little over a year since the spark plugs were replaced and a little over 5 years since we got the car brand new. Spark plugs are supposed to last 10 years or 100,000 miles and we-??re not close to either. This time they said it's not covered under warranty and is over $800.

For more than the past two years I have been experiencing unexpected braking while driving my 19 Accord. There have been probably 20-30 random incidents....generally when I am changing lanes..I think? The braking lasts for 2-3 seconds and then all returns to normal. This has happened when other cars are near and when there is no other car ahead or behind. On at least a couple occasions I received a nasty horn from the car behind me due to my unexpected braking and more than once an uncomplimentary comment from my wife about my driving skill. Several times I feared being rear ended. I explained this braking action as my failure to use the turn signal when changing lanes. Upon reconsidering and after reading the recent NHTSA alert, this is a sensor/software problem in the ESC/Emergency Braking system. Please give this issue your prompt attention. I am the retired engineering manager of the braking system subsidiary of HONDA MOTORS.

Not only does the infotainment screen sometimes black out when I am navigating, but the emergency braking sometimes kicks in on the interstate highway when there is no car in front of me or none on either side. I also get occasional coffee cup icons with a driver alert signal even when I am driving in a straight line, yet conscious of the need to steer a bit to tell the system I am alert. The alerts happen at highway speeds. This has happened quite a few times. The dealer's only response was that Honda is aware and blames the problem on using the cord that must be used to activate carplay and the navigation system!

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.

On the highway going 75mph the collision mitigation beeped and locked up the brakes dropping my speed below 50mph before letting off. There was a car in the lane to the right of me on a straight section of the highway but was not moving into my lane. Luckily there was no one behind me.

"collision mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer." Warning has appeared seven times in the 4,300 miles I have owned the car. When the system errors the emergency braking does not function, the adaptive cruise control does not function, and even the traditional cruise control will not set. Turning car off and one does reset the issue but it keeps appearing at random times when I drive the car. I have taken the car to dealer multiple times they tell me they cannot do anything unless the warning light is on when they have the vehicle. This issue has been going on since I purchased the car brand new in November 2019.

Driving in inclement weather snow/freezing rain. The Honda sense radar will become covered in snow and or ice causing it to light up the dashboard with warning lights. None of the Honda safety features work (adaptive cruise, lane assist, automatic braking) even if you are not using them at the time they all shut down. The worst being the automatic braking could cause wrecks if it hasn't already. When the dash lights up it starts beeping constantly and you have to close out 3-4 notifications before it will stop blinking. Has happened on highway as well as just normal driving state roads. Has happened to me 3 different times. Car has 12000 miles

  • 2,593 miles
On April 13, 2019, my brand new, 2019 Honda Accord sport 2.0T on the highway going 55 mph, with mere/mild rain brought an alert of collision mitigation warning onto the dash. The car has since alerted me of the same problem about 5 times, in both wet and dry highway conditions. When taken to the dealer, they said the car had no records of the alert. Not knowing if the Honda sensing system will work is very alarming and I have become scared to drive the vehicle as I can not trust that the vehicle will perform as advertised. I am paying for a service that is not safe to use or not safe for other motorists as many other Accord and Honda owners have reported the same on their cars.

1st time: Adaptive cruise control on, vehicle driving under 25mph in traffic. The system works fine under a time lapse of 1-2 minutes after that the system turns off automatically & warning indication pops up on dash. "collision mitigation braking system problem see your dealer" normal conditions on the road & traffic when the problem happens. The warning light resets after the car is turned off. Took the car to the dealer & nothing was found in the system. They recommended removing toll sticker from the windshield. I removed the sticker & leave the dealer to test the system. 2nd time: Adaptive cruise control on, speed set to 60mph on highway. Normal conditions on the road & traffic. Same problem, the system works fine under a time lapse of 1-2 minutes after that the system turns off automatically & warning indication pops up on dash.
