Fuel PUMP FAILED, car stalled and was unresponsive

- Katy, TX, USA

In December 2024, all of the lights on my dashboard came on & my car would not accelerate. The code indicated that it was a "Cylinder 2 Misfire." I replaced the ignition coil for cylinder 2 but my car continued to have the same issues. I had all 4 ignition coils replaced and all 4 spark plugs. In March 2025, all of the lights on the dashboard came on again with the car not accelerating properly. I had it looked at again, was told that it was a "Cylinder 2 Misfire" again but all 4 ignition coils were working properly. A spark plug was replaced at that time. Then, in May 2025, the car did the same thing with all of the lights coming and the car would not properly accelerate. The car again read that there was a misfire with "Cylinder 3" but all of the ignition coils worked properly. I had the fuel injectors replaced and another spark plug replaced. The car didn't even make it 24 hours before all the lights came on again. The RPMs in the car now go past "3" but will not accelerate & shift gears. The Honda Dealership has advised me that the head gasket needs replaced. My car has 74,000 miles on it. I had it inspected April 2024 with no head gasket issues & the car was at 64,000 miles approximately. So, in 8 months' time, the head gasket was blown & the car is well under 100,000 miles. I have been told that the engine my car has, 1.5L turbo with Honda has had this issue to the extreme that a class action lawsuit has been filed as Honda refuses to do any time of recall or assist with repairs. I literally had to drive with my 4 ways on to avoid being hit in an intersection due to the inability of my car to accelerate. The NHTSA needs to investigate Honda & determine if they are defrauding consumers by refusing to issue a recall due to this common & dangerous issue. I have owned 7 hours in the 30 years I have had a driver's license & never once had a head gasket issue or any issues to this extreme. I have never replaced a head gasket in any car that I have owned.

I had a recall on my fuel pump impeller and Honda replaced the pump AFTER having me wait over 1 year from me beginning to see problems with the car because "they did not have enough parts to go around". After finally receiving a letter stating I could bring the car in to have it replaced I took it to a dealership and had it replaced, by that point, I had experienced the vehicle shutting off while I was driving and having difficulty starting. After they replaced the fuel pump they advised me that the injectors were bad and needed to be replaced. The manufactors knows the part is bad, which is why they discontinued this part and created a new one to replace it, however they're getting out of helping anybody with the cost because they're not recalling them- a simple google search will show thousands of people experiencing this same issue and Honda not taking accountability. The lights on the dash first appeared about a year and a half ago, I called Honda about my recall and they told me they will not replace the part and that it is unrelated (keep in mind this was a phone call- the man had never even seen my car and he told me with certainty this was not related to the recall). The reason I keep mentioning the recall on the pump is because the fuel pump sends the fuel to the injectors, if the injectors are not getting enough, or even getting too much fuel sent to them this will cause them to fail- I believe that due to the faulty pump it caused the injectors to go bad and because Honda made everybody wait to have the recall replaced they should also be recalling the injectors that are also bad and faulty, further support- why would they discontinue a perfectly good part? Because they know the injectors are bad and they're trying to get ahead of this. I opened a good will case with them and they denied it, I'm very hopeful that you will do better research than they did into the circumstances and see the story without bias.

While driving my 2019 Honda Accord at approximately 65 mph on the highway, the car suddenly lost power, went into limp mode, and the steering wheel locked up. I was unable to turn or control the vehicle, which resulted in another car crashing into me. I sustained injuries in the accident and required medical attention. The incident was extremely dangerous and could have been fatal. After being towed to Russell & Smith Honda, they confirmed a blown head gasket was the cause of the failure. This issue is already the subject of a class-action lawsuit due to known design flaws in the 1.5T engine. Honda only offered partial assistance, leaving me responsible for thousands in repair costs. This vehicle is unsafe and needs to be investigated immediately.

We were sitting at a red light and when accelerating once green a warning appeared on the dash stating the EVAP system was failing and to see dealer. Then more warning appeared stating the following systems were failing, ABS, TPMS, Cruise Control, Driver Assist, Electronic Power Steering. Basically all electronic systems were failing. The car would not accelerate properly. The car would not go over 2500 RPMs making acceleration nearly impossible and the car would lose speed when traveling up a hill. We managed to make it to a school parking lot to safely pull off the road. The car had to be towed to a local mechanic. This all happened with zero warning.

1. Headgasket, fuel injectors, and fuel pump failed on this vehicle. Upon inspection Gwinnett Place Honda responded that this was a very common problem and that they see upwards of hundreds of cars per month equipped with the 1.5 liter turbo charged engine. 2. This affected my safety because during the whole ordeal my car went into a -??limp mode-?? while doing 80mph down a busy highway causing me to rapidly lose speed and most cause a major accident. Unable to get off the road way due to my car shutting off I needed to have bystanders block a lane and push the vehicle off. 3.Yes it has been reproduced by both a Honda dealership and an independent service center 4.Honda stated that they wanted to swap the motor so they could send it to the manufacturer to have it studied, however in return I would be getting a motor with 90,000 miles while having to pay $12,000 out of pocket. 5.The car was showing a -??Christmas tree-?? dash with every light on ranging from check engine, power steering, abs, lane mitigation, and climate control. On early mornings the car would have a misfire on startup due to the fuel injectors and during the day it would lose coolant however NOT leak it out.

My vehicle is subject to NHTSA Recall Number 23V-858, Honda Campaign Number YGK, Service Bulletin Number 24-009. I have received multiple notifications via US mail from the American Honda Motor Co, Inc., Automobile Division notifying me of a recall of the fuel pump. The first notice was received in February 2024 with instructions to contact my local dealer as soon as possible. I first began contacting my local Honda dealers (Findlay Honda, Henderson, NV; Centennial Hills Honda; Honda West) in the Las Vegas, Nevada in March 2024. Each time, I was informed that none of the dealerships had the fuel pump and to call back in May 2024. I called in May 2024 and was instructed to call in July 2024. I called in July 2024 and was instructed to call in October 2024. I called in October 2024 and was instructed to call in November 2024. I called a week before Thanksgiving 2024 and was instructed to call in December 2024. Last week, I attempted to contact each dealership again about the fuel pump. The service departments of Findlay Honda, Henderson NV and Centennial Hills Honda would not answer the telephone. Honda West placed me on a fuel pump wait list. My vehicle has been on a recall list for almost a year with no repairs. I do not have any confidence that Honda will reimburse the cost of the repair if I utilize another mechanic.

I own a 2019 Honda Accord purchased brand new in 2019. My family and I have been Honda owners forever. My current Honda Accord LX has 96,000 miles and recently my Emissions dashboard illuminated. I took my vehicle to Gillman Honda and to my surprise I have been advised the Turbocharger needs to be replaces and it will cost me $2,900. I'm also still on the waitlist for the Fuel Pump Recall Honda has failed to provide parts for the past year which is incurring me extra expenses on buying gas way more than I should. After reading multiple complaints, I'm convinced Honda is fully aware of the Turbocharger issues and have failed to initiate a recall. I'm very frustrated with the lack of transparency and accountability Honda is conducting regarding their manufacturing process. Why is a car at 5 years old experiencing a blow in a turbocharger and why is it taking over a year to have parts in place for a recall for fuel pump a car that could lead to extra expenses and damage to a vehicle? I am requesting Honda immediately provides the fuel replacement part needed for the recall for my vehicle and contact me for a definite date for repairs and reimbursement for this service that my car shouldn't need due to their failure in manufacturing. Please investigate their turbocharger system problems on their new cars.

Recall 23V-858 has been going on since December 2023. There is no timeline to get it fixed. This is not being done in a timely manner. I cannot sell my car. It's also a safety issue not knowing if my may just not start one day.

There has been a Honda recall out since December 2023 for Fuel Pump Impellers on 2018-2022 model year Accord 1.5L vehicles, but they still do not have replacement parts. My car is stalling to start in the mornings and I keep getting told to wait 2-3 weeks until they have replacement parts come in. This is taking way too long and I am now at risk of my vehicle not starting.

My check engine light came on and an alert for an "emissions system problem" appeared. The engine made a revving sound when starting the car, and it felt like the vehicle might stall while driving to the mechanic. The local Honda dealership in Mount Kisco, NY was unable to diagnose the problem, but a trusted mechanic identified that the fuel pump under known recall was the issue. He ordered a new part from a different local Honda dealership in Yorktown, NY.

It-??s been nearly a year since the dealership promised to call me as soon as the part arrives. I haven-??t received any updates since then. I attempted to schedule an appointment for a service related to the recalls, but they kept canceling it. According to them, they prioritize cars with symptoms, while my car is still drivable reason why my appointment was cancelled.
