SERVICE BRAKES
ABS computer module has gone bad because of the way it was made and poses a hazard to the break system. I have noticed that I have to apply pressure to my breaks. I have called the dealer and this part is on back order, which means I am not the only one with this issue. There should be a recall on this part. I am afraid to drive my car with any passengers in fear my breaks won’t work. I ask that you take a serious look into this problem. I have been dealing with this problem for a year because despite the lights being on, no code was producing the problem until now. This started happening after I popped a tire, front driver side.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I purchased the vehicle from a Honda dealership on 5/21/2022. The Multi-View Rear Camera stopped working correctly after only a few weeks of ownership. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the problem. I didn't take the vehicle back until 11/28/2022, due to the 3YR/36K factory warranty being expired. I also didn't purchase any extended warranty coverage due to the mileage on the vehicle being only 13,878 at that time. There has been a previous recall due to the Multi-View Rear Camera (Recall Numbers: K2G & V2F). The NHTSA Campaign Number is: 18V629. The information related to this recall states that the Multi-View Rear Camera may fail because of bad software. I feel that the safety of myself, other passengers that I may have in the vehicle, as well as the safety of others, are at risk due to the Multi-View Rear Camera not working properly.

I’ll start by saying my car is impeccably maintained at the Honda dealership! I have reached out to Honda and even emailed the hard of Honda motor corp in Japan and my cars problems. In the last 16 months my car has trouble starting , failed to start on several times , and for [XXX] reason the battery charging issue light comes on , as well as forward control warning light . It began last spring 2022. I need the main and rear seal replaced , a new battery eve though mine wasn’t a year old and was purchased and installed at the Honda dealer, it also needed a new alternator. Within 10-15 minutes of driving all the dashboard lights flashed smoke poured out of the engine.the car overheated while I was driving in the highway ! I was stranded in busy highway traffic . I also had a new battery cable replaced. That was between march and April of last year. All is documented and reported to Honda. Highly unusual for a 7 year old car with 50,000 to need 2 seals, a new battery each year for 3 years in a row , a new battery cable , and alternator . I also reported the car isn’t driving well . 1 year later and I need another alternator and a starter! In March The car wasn’t starting it made clicking noises - it needed a starter and now in July it the battery charging issue light was again flashing and needed another alternator . My car is nether safe nor reliable . There is no doubt my car has MAJOR electrical issues that are ongoing and unresolved.it is NOT just my Honda accord.the records show this.Please do something .I can not afford a new car . Honda says they are about safety but they are NOT ! With so many ongoing electrical problems it is not if but when something will happen. I’ve made it clear to honda and now you that we the consumer need help from the ongoing honda electrical issues plaguing the accords before there are fatalities. Also, do more psa letting consumers know they need to report issue on your site- o didnt know and I am pretty savvy . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AC

While driving I received a message stating the automatic emergency braking, steering assist, lane keeping assist, braking assist, hill hold, adaptive cruise control all we turned off. Additionally regenerative braking was also turned off. This system problem did not clear after the car turned off and back on. The dealership addressed the issue, but unsure of the cause. All codes were cleared and the system was recalibrated. This is the first incident of this type with this vehicle.

Supplemental restraint system error appears on dash unit, at first intermittently and now at all times. I am wondering if this could be related to a recall on seatbelts which apparently does not apply to my VIN but does to other 2018 Honda Accords.

The backup camera does not work. Currently it is a black screen when in reverse. It started several months ago going in and out, with it working sometimes and other times going completely out. Now it is completely out and does not work at all. This puts my daughter and others in and around the vehicle in danger when reversing. Honda has a "Rear Camera Safety Recall" for the 2018 Honda Accord, however it does not apply to my VIN. I was told by Honda to bring it to the dealer for a diagnosis. If it was not too expensive, then I could pay for the fix. If it is too expensive, then to call Honda back with the diagnosis and they would determine if financial assistance can be provided to make the repair. I have an appointment tomorrow to have it diagnosed.

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
(Please check the attached full complaint letter) I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning matter regarding my experience with the American Honda Motor Company. As a loyal consumer and a law-abiding citizen, I believe it is crucial to address issues that impact consumers and the general public. Since 2013, I have been trying to resolve a critical issue with my brand-new Honda Accord car I bought from Honda. Unfortunately, American Honda company didn’t resolve the issue that affected my car and hundreds of thousands of the same cars’ owners that they sold in NJ and in 22 salt belt states. My argument with the American Honda company is that they have a major design issue with their front left and right axles for Honda Accord cars that have been manufactured since 2003.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
My daughter and I just bought this 2022 Honda Accord on 04/29/2023. On 6/28/2023, she was headed home, driving North, and was coming to the busy intersection of a County Road and Highway. She went to brake, but the brakes did not respond. In order to avoid hitting another vehicle, she swerved and blew through the intersection. Thank goodness she did not hit anyone in the intersection AND no one hit her. It could have been so bad. She did come to rest in a farmer's field on the Northeast corner of the intersection. According to the shop that is currently processing the claim with State Farm and investigating the repairs and damage, many error lights are lit up on the dash as relates to the brakes, forward collision warning, and emergency braking. They indicated that they need to work with Honda to clear, verify, and repair everything related to those codes. The vehicle is scheduled to be towed to Honda of Greeley on Wednesday, 7/19/2023. In my research, I did see the NHTSA Acknowledgment of Recall Letter just signed on 06/22/2023 by Alex Ansley for the 2022 Honda Accord, indicating that a recall would be issued in regards to an issue with the brakes, that may be related to my daughter's accident. I also read further that the actual recall letters would be mailed out 07/24/2023. I am just not sure if this would also cover the 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid.
