On 11/11/2024 while at an intersection with a redlight, I was the first car in the "merge to the right" short lane, stopped and waiting on right lane traffic on the road that intersected to clear. When it was safe to go, I moved my foot to the accelerator and nothing happened. I realized my vehicle had lost power / "died;" that all dashboard lights were out. I quickly put my vehicle gear in "Park" position and restarted. It did restart but immediately a red warning light began flashing saying "Brake System Failure" and "Take Vehicle to Dealer." I was terrified as I proceeded in the right lane of traffic since I had vehicles behind me as well as in front of me and I had to cross an intersection with traffic merging from an interstate highway. There was not a safe place to go; all businesses along this stretch had no entry except on their back side. I had to proceed across several major intersections before I could get to a safe place. Meanwhile, warning lights continued and included more than Brake System Failure. One was showing a Warning diagram about changing lanes of traffic which I had to do. Obviously, brakes worked because I was able to stop when needed but I was afraid the brakes would not work which could have been deadly for myself and others. Once I was stopped and in a safe place, I called Honda Roadside Assistance and my car was towed to the nearest Honda dealership. As of this writing (six days from incident), Honda dealership is still investigating; they have not given me a cause or solution. They are providing me with a loaner car. There is no recall on 2024 Honda Hybrid Touring although there are multiple posts online with people saying they had same thing happen with this model vehicle.

This is a hybrid vehicle with only 1100 miles on it. The engine start to stutter and violently shake when the gas engine turns on at low speed or idle. The car will have limited power during this time and the acceleration will be jerky. This is a safety concerns since this behavior can kick in randomly, because the car computer decides when the gas engine kicks in, which is unpredictable. I have done some research online with Honda owners and this issue is fairly common for new (2024 and 2025) Honda hybrid vehicles such as the CRV or Accord. almost all people reporting this issue have their cars less than 10k miles. Online report seems to indicate that the problem is related to bad fuel injector. Some reported that dealers unable or refuse to perform repair due to unavailable parts. I will have an inspection from a local Honda dealer later this week. I currently do not have warning lights on at the moment. But other owners have mentioned check engine and/or check transmission warning lights as this issue progresses.

I was driving on city roads when vehicle lost power going up a slight hill and I was forced to pull over to the side of the road. I received TDMS Failure first then multiple failures. Restarted and was able restart but received the following warnings: 1.Brake system failure, 2.Park brake failure, 3.Collision failure 4.Electric power steering failure, 5.TPMS failure, 6.Low speed braking failure, 7.road departure failure 8.Adaptive cruise control failure, 9.Hill start failure. Restarted again was able to drive the vehicle home but received the above warnings. Restarted again and received a brake system warning. After I got home, I restarted again and all the warnings cleared. This was a very serious error. If I was driving on the turnpike when power failed, my only recourse would be to try to pull over, if possible, stop the vehicle and restart. This would be a life-threatening situation. Checked tires front tires were 36# rear tires 33#. So, no tire issue to trigger the TDMS warning. The auto technician did some checks but did not see any codes. He also looked at the Honda forum for technicians and saw some of the same issues, but they didn-??t provide a solution. I mentioned what I read in the Accord Forum about the Honda dealer this person went do couldn-??t find codes but knew right away that it was the ICM ignition control module. The technician said someone drove it today and will drive it tomorrow. He will also call Honda Engineers in California for assistance. 6/11/2024 I was informed that the issue has been confirmed to be the ICM module, which is out of stock now. 6/27/24 I received a call from dealer service advisor that the rental was approved by Honda, but also the part was received and the car will be ready when I pick it up. Car was out of commission due to parts availability issues for 18 days.

Today on 24 December 2024, I was driving my 3 month newly bought Honda ACCORD SPORT HYBRID vin [XXX] from Tulsa Oklahoma to Dallas Texas when the car broke down suddenly in the middle of highway. It reported sudden power train system and all advanced feature failures and asked me to halt immediately or safely and started reducing the speed in the middle of driving at 65 miles hour. I had to park urgently on shoulder on I 75 S and it was very risky considering high speed traffic flowing. I think it was a great safety risk INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
