@ 96,970 miles, (2021 Honda Accord Hybrid) when getting on the freeway and accelerating to catch up with traffic, the car began sputtering, the check engine light flashed, the accelerator stopped working and I had to get it to the shoulder of the freeway immediately. The car sputtered and shook. I turned the car off, let it sit. I tried re-starting it and it started fine, no check engine light. I drove it slow off the freeway and to my home close by. I got it to the dealer. The Service Rep said he had never heard of this issue although it does appear on Honda Forums. He said no codes showed and decided it needed a Cylinder adjustment and then decided it also needed a new (refurbished) transmission. It was in the shop for weeks. I've tried warming the car up longer and using more expensive gas. Issue continues to happen. I called an made an appointment at the dealer for first available date. Today I had it checked for codes again from a different mechanic and the mechanic said it has no codes - at all. Fluids all perfect, no issues with coolant levels. All maintenance has been completed on schedule. I did video tape my dash when it happened Wednesday, on I80, 3/5/25 12:12pm.

Note the malfunction described below is CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL for multiple Honda models but has not YET been recalled for the 2021Accord Sport SE. PLEASE ADD TO THE LIST!! I was driving when warning lights flashed, car started to slow down and then shut off. I repeatedly tried to start my vehicle which was unsuccessful. I took my car to Honda and had the low pressure fuel pump changed on 8-1-2024. Today 2-5-2025, it happened again. Seems to be the high pressure fuel pump this time. I did research and this seems to be an issue with a lot of Hondas. Please research and add this to this list. Not to mention my 2021 Accord only has 70k miles

NOTE: the item / malfunction described below is CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL for multiple Honda models but has not YET been recalled for the 2021 Accord Sport 2.0T. Please add this model to the recall list!!! I had been driving on the interstate for about 30 minutes on Thursday, 11/7, when suddenly seven of the warning lights flashed in succession on my vehicle, including braking system warnings, emission system warnings, and tire pressure system warmings. I pulled to the side of the road, quite concerned. I called the dealership. The service professional thought it might be the radar on the front camera causing an electrical system malfunction. I was advised by the service technician to drive slowly (about 55mph) and come to the dealership (about an hour away). Upon inspection by the dealer, it was determined that the high-pressure fuel pump in the engine was defective. I did a bit of research: this is the SAME PART that is currently under recall for 720,000 vehicles (2023-?"2024 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid, 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Sedan Hybrid, and 2023-?"2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid). Please add the Honda Accord Sport 2.0 T, 2019-2022 to the recall list for this issue!

I have experienced 2-3 sec hesitation upon accelerating. This hesitation occurs occasionally usually when turning and the is stopped or moving slowly. When it has happened I have experienced threatening safety situations particularly when making turns when crossing oncoming traffic such as when making a left 90 degree turn at a stop light with oncoming traffic in the lane I am crossing or if I have to make a quick acceleration to avoid a rapidly threatening safety situation.
