STEERING
I recently experienced a power steering failure on my 2018 Honda accord 1.5t sport. When going to pull into a parking spot when turning my wheel to the left the power steering failed leaving me on the road. With all the lights coming onto the dash unable to pinpoint a specific issue. Upon taking it to the dealer I was informed that I needed a new “gearbox, steering”. More specifically the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. They sent me a quote for $6,233.73. As I was unable to afford this I looked Into this issue. As this has been a problem for Hondas my car wasn’t qualified for a recall upon looking at the nhtsa website. I am able to provide proof and documentation of the quote with price parts and labor.

I am reporting an issue with the fuel injectors on my 2018 Honda Accord. It is a known issue but has no recall. Honda has no replaced the fuel pump on my vehicle yet. I have read of multiple issues with the fuel injectors and/or the head gasket going bad on the Accords. I noticed a knocking sound in my engine and a loss of acceleration power. I took my vehicle to the dealership and they reported an injector failure but it was not covered by Honda. My vehicle has less than 70,000 miles on it at this time. I believe the injectors need to be under a safety recall for the Accords.

STEERING
The steering wheel "sticks" at dead center when on a smooth straight road. When I try to make a micro adjustment due to road crown, wind, etc., the wheel won't move without considerable force, then will suddenly give way and jump off center the direction I'm pushing. Then I have to correct back.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
I recently took my car to the dealer because I have multiple messages on my dashboard saying please see dealer dealing with my brake system, electric power steering, vehicle ability assist, collision mitigation system problem, etc the dealers don’t know what’s going on with it. I recently had service done on it because of the recall with the fuel pump and even before that those messages were showing up.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
For the past four months, my check engine light has been turning on and off. One morning in traffic, my car suddenly went into limp mode. Fortunately, I was able to make it slowly yet safely to the nearest parking lot, but I had to get the car towed to different mechanics. Each one diagnosed a cylinder 4 misfire after running the computer diagnostics and checking multiple possible causes under the hood. A retired Honda mechanic mentioned he had seen this issue before and identified the fuel injector as the cause. When I researched my car on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, I found two different recalls. One related to fuel injector module failure and another for the fuel injector assembly. However, when I contacted Honda with this information, I was told that my VIN does not currently fall under the recall, despite experiencing the same exact issues. I was advised to get a diagnostic at a Honda dealership, which would cost a few hundred dollars, and then to submit a Goodwill request online, which is an unnecessarily lengthy process. I am requesting that Honda inspect this issue and add my VIN number to the recall, so I do not have to continue spending more money on a problem that appears to be a known defect.

ENGINE
As my car falls under this law suit and no legal action has been taken for it, I'm reporting that the Head gaskets for the 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5L are not properly designed for the wear and tear on a 1.5L turbo. I'm not great with describing car and there internal functions, so please refer to the active court case (3:24-cv-02286). This is an on going issue with the 1.5L Accords and is well known by the company. This issue typically comes with a ~$4500 replacement of the Head Gasket. In my case, I also head to replace 2 injectors that the dealer ship was saying were read as feeding rich. A common diagnostic that can also be caused by Coolant Leaks. These problems causes my car to flare every warning light available. I have no heat from the heater. My car sometimes won't shift or go into gear. I've yet to get this fixed as the mechanic is still awaiting word from me to proceed, so I don't have a invoice for the Head gasket repairs.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving my 2018 Honda Accord, I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. At the same time, the check engine light came on, along with multiple other warning lights, which caused the advanced driver assistance systems to stop working. This put my safety at risk, as I was unable to speed up in traffic, creating a dangerous situation. A dealership confirmed that the issue was due to a fuel injector failure, which occurred just days after I had the fuel pump replaced under a recall. Before the failure, the only warning signs were the check engine light and an “Emissions System Problem” message. I believe this issue may be directly related to the faulty fuel pump, which Honda delayed in replacing. If the defective fuel pump caused excessive strain on the fuel injectors over time, it could explain why so many owners, including myself, are experiencing premature failures. Given the safety risks involved and the growing number of similar reports, I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and hold Honda accountable for addressing the problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The components and systems that are failing and malfunctioning in my 2018 Honda Accord are the engine, head gasket, fuel, injectors and turbo. While in motion, the car jerks and has issues with acceleration requiring the safety hazard lights to be come on and I’m unable to keep up with marked speed limit while traveling due to the sluggishness of the vehicle. The majority of these issues have been confirmed by a Honda dealership as well as another car shop. There are several warning and safety hazard lights that come on and go off the dashboard. Many times, I have to pull on the side of the road due to not being able to drive this vehicle.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
There is a recall for the fuel pump on Honda Accords. When Honda replaces the fuel pump, the fuel injectors starts misfiring. All the warning lights start goin on. The car says it is not safe to drive and to go to the dealer. The car is not safe to drive, after the fuel pump replacement. Customers have to pay around $2000 + $130-$150 for diagnostic analysis to get injectors replaced. It should have been part of the recall. This issue doesn't start until the fuel pump is replaced.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
While waiting for the recalled parts to be in stock for the fuel pump module, my car starting running rough and going into limp mode several times a day. Thus causing near accidents with my children in the vehicle. After getting the fuel pump module recall fixed I asked and had to pay for a diagnostics test to see what was causing the car to do this. We were told it was the fuel injectors and were quoted $2000 to replace those. That was done 4 days ago at the dealer, and it happened again yesterday! We took the car back to the dealer today and they have just informed us we need to replace the head gasket & turbo and had a coolant leak causing these issues?! Why that was never seen in the original diagnostics test nor a problem 4 days ago, but after spending $2000 we did not have to keep our family and others safe, we are now being told it will cost over $5000 to fix these now issues. We can’t afford that and now I don’t know what I am going to do! Honda needs to step up to the plate and take some culpability here and be responsible for what clearly appears to be a much needed recall for 2018 Accords! This is ridiculous. And for the service advisor to tell us this happens all of the time to these, if not daily, should speak volumes!

STRUCTURE:BODY
The actuator on the Drivers door would not allow the door to open. In the case of an accident the inability to exit the vehicle in case the passenger door was damaged or the damage was to the passenger side this would be a safety issue. The dealer repaired the issue by removing the drivers seat thru the passenger door then removing the door panel and replacing the actuator at the cost of $700 and 16 days. The manufacturer has not inspected the vehicle or the actuator. There was no warning before the problem occurred. I have checked the Honda Accord Forums and found this problem has been happening since the 1990’s so obviously the manufacturer should be aware.
