WHEELS, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The ABS, VSA, EPS, and the parking brake systems began to appear on my dashboard. After diagnostics, it appeared that the VSA modulator was failing to provide all these components that are needed for safety in all driving conditions. After doing some research, I came to know that the modulator failure is very common in the Honda Accord models from year 2010 and above. Yet, Honda has yet to recall vehicles for this issue that affects the brake and steering systems. So far, the lights continuously appear and disappear. However, there is a huge difference when the intermittent lights appear. The car swerves too easily on rainy days when running through a puddle on the street. Even on windy days, sometimes it cannot handle when I am driving against the wind. The car's steering system feels too vulnerable and sensitive when these lights are on given that I have none of that systems providing the extra safety components. I fear that one day when I have to brake suddenly to prevent I crash, I will lose control instead and cause a fatal accident. The part is too expensive and total costs can reach up to $3,000 or more, and like everyone else who has reported this issue. I cannot afford to repair it as of now, but will need to be on a day where the financials can support the repair.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
All the warning lights turn on and the car loses power when accelerating. It shows the check engine code P0301. The spark plug and coil are fine. Potential issue is the fuel injector leaking.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
This past December (2023) while driving my 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid I experienced an issue where multiple warnings about the Engine, the Break System...etc lit up on the dash along with a warning to contact a dealership. As the warning messages lit up the dash, the car lost all drive-power and slowly decelerated to a stop. I had not made it out of the parking lot of my apartment complex, and a power-cycle allowed me to return back to my parking space. The obvious safety concerns, especially if I was in traffic, are self-evident as a crash could occur. The sporadic, unexplainable, and unpredictability makes it 10x more concerning from a safety standpoint. I've had one checkup since, and I have an subsequent appointment to have this checked even further. I've found other testimonies online from customers who've had this or similar experiences with this same make/model/year. I felt it best to report this as it could be a larger issue than the manufacturer currently understands or is making public.

ENGINE
Hello, I’m submitting this complaint regarding the Head Gasket issue being Blown out on my Vehicle, it only had (136,656) miles and has a good service and maintenance history which should have prevented the Head Gasket from blowing out, however I was informed by the Honda Service Advisor that this is an ongoing issue and that they are seeing much more of these vehicles coming in with a blown Head Gasket, unfortunately I had no other choice but to purchase a used engine and make the immediate repairs because Honda’s Head Gasket’s are in a serious Back order due to the aforementioned issue effecting many other Honda owners.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I received a recall notice that there is a safety recall on my vehicle for a circuit board under the PASSENGER seat. Manufacturer Recall #XHP, NHTSA recall number 24V064. I utilize my vehicle to provide a source of income. My local dealership informed me after I called them that there was currently no remedy to the problem. This is a major inconvenience that now I can no longer make the extra income I need. Does this problem affect my vehicle as a whole? Is this really a safety problem? I need documentation stating this is not a SAFETY recall, thank you.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
While performing a normal U-Turn at a stop sign, I turned the wheel all the way to the left. When the wheel reached it's max rotation to the left, the Power Steering light on the dash flashed for a second, but at the same time the whole car turned off and then back on. I was stopped mid-turn until the car restarted. Not knowing what happened, I continued the turn slowly and when the wheel reached the max rotation the same light flicker and car restart happened. I tested once again while parked and confirmed that when I turn the wheel completely to the left, the car restarts. My safety was put at risk due to other cars at the stop sign not anticipating my car stopping in the middle of the intersection. No accidents or injuries occured. Based on limited research, it appears this is a defect that has been reported before for my make and model of car. I have not had my car inspected at this time. There were no previous indicators (warnings, messages, or symbols), prior to the failure.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Cruise control will apply brakes when lane ahead is clear. This happens multiple times per trip, every trip. Automatic emergency braking way too aggressive. Has nearly caused me to be rear ended twice. I try to remember to disable it every drive. I wish I could permanently disable it.

I purchased this vehicle zero miles from Brickell Honda back in 2018. A couple of years ago, with only (Miles: 51070), I started to notice that the vehicle's velocity started to decrease all of the sudden when driving it on the roadways and highways. To me, it was extremely dangerous, specially driving the vehicle on the highways because one time another vehicle almost hit me from behind. One of the details about this issue, was the fact that all the lights on the dashboard were turned on, and I was unable to turn them off. On [XXX], I took the vehicle to Brickell Honda and service advisor named Miguel Diaz told me that the vehicle needed to be repaired (Fuel system cleaning), but was was unable to explain me the cause of the problem. On [XXX], I went back to Brickell Honda and paid ($1,798.00) to get my vehicle fixed. However, on 2023 I started to have the same symptoms with the vehicle as before but this time I took the vehicle to Hendrick Honda in South Carolina to be evaluated. I explained to Honda Advisor named Jeremy Mann that I got my vehicle repaired in Miami back in [XXX] and now it was having the same symptoms as before. Jeremy told me that I needed to pay ($3,503.70) to replace the cylinder head gasket. I explained to Jeremy that the symptoms were all the same as before, and he ignored it. I ended up paying Hendrick Honda ($3,142.44 ) to get it fix. On December 2023 I saw an article online about a recall, so I contacted American Honda Motors. I opened a case with them (Case # [XXX]) and explained to them my situation and how much I have spent to get my vehicle fixed. On [XXX], I received an email from American Honda Motors stating that the case was being closed and stating (No Campaigns are available under customer's VIN related to either repair). The symptoms that my vehicle was having were the same as it is mentioned in the 2023 fuel pump recall and American Honda didn't do anything to address the issue.

At speeds between 50mph a howling noise begins and gets louder as the speed increases to 55mph. The howling noise is quite loud. It stops after you get above 55pmh or you open a window. The dealer said he was not aware of this problem.

All electrical warning lights came on dashboard. This is very frustrating and scary. This needs to be a recall on this vehicle because nothing this serious is normal. I thought my car was falling apart. Honda needs to fix this problem and the owner should not be responsible.
