We leased a Honda Accord in July, 2019. We are a Honda family. Before the accident on January 10 of this year, we noticed several unusual happenings. The trunk lid would open while driving after being securely latched. It also would begin braking unnecessarily. The unfortunate incident occurred when the driver drove into a parking space in front of a local retail store traveling slowly when the Honda inexplicably accelerated forward very quickly. It jumped the curb, went over wide sidewalk, traveled through a brick wall anchoring a huge store window, and then went crashed through the huge window. The Honda finally stopped after it had completely entered the store. Fortunately, nobody was injured. We are very grateful for this. It seems that something is seriously wrong with the speed control system of the Honda. We felt that it was our responsibility to notify Honda in hope of preventing a future tragedy. We felt compelled to share this information on the nhsta website where 54 complaints were listed for the 2019 Honda Accord.

On 11/22, when my car was in accessory mode, the stereo system was flickering and the warning sign saying that there is a problem with my brake system appeared on the dash board. I also noticed my break pedal was pulsating. I took it to Honda and they changed the battery of my car on 11/30. I called Honda customer service and they told me this is a known issue but they do not have a fix for it. Two days after I got my battery changers, the touch screen went out while I was driving and caused the stereo system to reboot. Today, I was at the stop light waiting for the light to turn green. There was not a car infront of me and when the light turned green I took my foot off the pedal and the car started to move. About two seconds of moving the car, the car breaked by itself and the hazards lights came on- this happened on 12/14. A car behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me.

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 ?
