FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The collision mitigation braking system periodically activates when traveling on interstate highway when there is nothing in the roadway to cause this function to activate, causing the vehicle to stop suddenly then release which have caused potential rear-end accidents and possible injury to the driver r passenger due to the sudden stopping motion which propel the driver and passenger forward quickly without any warnings. Recently an warning error appeared to verify this malfunction. Which before 6/30 the warning error never appeared.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My accord seems to trigger automatic brakes for no reason. I have noticed it happening primarily on freeways and expressways (while traveling at high speed)which is extremely dangerous. There has been only a single instance of this behavior while driving on a 35 MPH posted speed corridor. My latest experience was on 6/29/24 around 10:30 am. Contacted the dealership with the issue. They said they will call back, but haven't heard from them yet.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
After a few weeks of owning my 2018 Honda accord-Sport driving along the road my car hesitated and acted as if it didn't want to continue driving. I had to pull over to the side of the road to turn the car completely off and back on for the car to regain energy (power) to drive. Every light on the dash is on from the check engine light, brake system, check emission system, road assistance, tire system and do not turn off. I had the fuel injectors cleaned because that was the code that came back for the issue and the car is storing the same code. It was a temporary fix because the lights have been on and off for a whole year now. I cannot get the issue fix because the parts have been on and off back order for the whole year I have owned this car. My car is running harder and hesitating a lot more and I do not get the same average milage on gas anymore. I normally fill up once a week and do the same amount of driving, but my gas is no longer lasting me the week it used to. The fuel injectors seem to be a common issue with these cars especially with the parts on back order for this long intensive time period. I am scared my car will not be drivable in the near future on the symptoms it is now displaying. My car is available at any time for an inspection. I'm very surprised this issue is not a recall on the hazard it is driving, and the car could hesitate or not proceed to go when in traffic which could lead to terrible safety hazards. Every light is on that could possibly be wrong on the dash. I have taken this vehicle to Honda dealerships and 3rd party mechanic shops.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving on [XXX] when my sunroof glass exploded. I was not around any other cars when this incident happened. Thankfully I had my sunroof visor closed. Had it not been for that; glass would have poured all over me and possibly caused me to have a bad wreck or worse; lose my life. I filed a claim that same day with my insurance company, only to get the run around and be told that they possibly won’t cover it due to they deeming it a mechanical failure. I was not operating the sunroof at all at the time of the incident so there was no mechanical failure. I had full insurance coverage at the time of the incident. I have sent in pictures and a full description to my insurance adjuster. The car itself has not been inspected by anyone other than myself. I would like this matter resolved immediately.

AIR BAGS
The SRS light comes on and once cleared/reset it will typically return after 2-4 trips. it was confirmed when the car when air bags were checked for recalls. This first appeared in 2018 with airbag recalls. It became a recurring issue in 2021 when after each reset it would return. The reset would last months and when the battery was drained it might reappear. In 2024 Jan. the reset and light return cycle become more consistent with it returning within 2-4 trips.

ENGINE
Engine overheated and turns out we have a blown head gasket. The problem escalated quickly from and "your engine may be warm" messages to "Do not drive!" messages. We tried to stop and cool it off when that message happened. To me the safety issue comes with the experience of needing to urgently find a place to stop while driving on a busy road (interstate for us) so the engine doesn't get much worse. Car is currently at a Honda dealer to assess the damage to the engine.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Honda has not had sufficient parts to complete the repair for recall# 23V-858 which was announced in December 2023 even though the recall mentions how potentially dangerous the issue is. Repeated calls to the dealership only result in being told to wait until Honda sends a second letter unless the fuel pump fails at which point the safety issue could have already occurred. They should at least offer an inspection of the vehicle to determine if any degradation has occurred even if they don’t have enough parts to perform the repair for everyone.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My vehicle dash has been displaying the TPMS light (blinking then solid), Power Steering, Traction control light for the past year to two. I have checked my tire pressure they are to specifications the sensors are fine, my traction control does not respond to the button in the car to enable or disable the traction control. I thankfully have not yet lost power steering but the light is on. I had researched the problem and have found several and I mean several honda accord owners all with the same problem. Only yesterday did my ABS light on my dash turned on and has consistently stayed on (on occasion would turn off like the others but then reappear). Based on internet searches and forums all things point to a faulty ABS module, a module countless honda accord owners have indicated Honda is aware of such fault and expect honda owners to pay an exorbitant amount of money to repair it when its a model wide issue. The danger this poses is the uncertainty of the reliability of these features that are meant to keep motorists safe. To make matters worse I am concerned about the safety of my family with a toddler and infant when riding my vehicle. This is not something that broke down due to negligence on the vehicle owners part. This is a manufacturer issue that affects every single honda accord from 2013 through 2022. To make matters worse when people tried to get the ABS module fixed its unavailable. Honda needs to repair all these modules and a recall needs to be issued. This is unacceptable. I will be very hesitant to buy another Honda again.
