SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Multiple times in the state of Oklahoma, driving from Oklahoma to Maryland, and in Maryland Washington DC area, the automatic brakes apply at highway speeds on the interstate whenever there is a shadow in the road. It is extremely frightening. I am having the fuel pump recall Repaired at the Honda dealership today. I told the Honda dealership about this problem and they said they were unaware of it. They said they would reset the calibration on the anti-breaking system. However, upon research, it looks like you are investigating this problem. Please add my car to the list of cars affected. I do not know the exact dates that this happened but it has been. I would say at least 20 to 30 times since 2020 when I bought the vehicle.

ENGINE
I Have been waiting since August of 2024 to have my car repaired. I have called Honda numerous of times about my car not starting and stalling while driving. I was basically told that they will not order the part and replace until my car is fully not running at all. I was told I would have to pay for a diagnostic and for my vehicle to be towed to get looked before they can decide to order the part for my recall that is suppose to be Free. I am at the point of just taking this situation to Court.

My complaint is concerning NHTSA Recall Number 23V-858. The problem I have is this. I called my Honda dealer today saying I wanted to bring in my vehicle to have the fuel pump replaced as is stated in the recall. I was told that the part would have to be ordered but before ordering the part the dealership would want to perform a diagnostic test on my vehicle to see if my fuel pump had an issue. Here's the part that I have a BIG problem with. If my fuel pump is deemed to be defective, they will order the part and replace it at no charge and will not charge me for the diagnostic test (I seem to recall it being in the ~$180 range). BUT, if the fuel pump is deemed to not be defective, I would be charged for the diagnostic. I argued with the receptionist that this is not something that's up for discussion as this is a Safety Recall from NHTSA and that Honda's own paperwork states that they will "replace the fuel pump for FREE" with no mention of first having to pass a diagnostic exam. I did manage to talk to the service manager and plead my case to show him that this would amount to a "money grab" if my vehicle were to not show a problem with the diagnostics. I also pointed out that the only way to see an "improperly molded impeller" (which is apparently the technical problem) would be to remove and inspect the fuel pump at which time you should just replace it anyway, since that's what Honda recall notification indicates. The service manager says he is going to waive any fee for my diagnostic test but I still have to have the diagnostic in order for them to be able to order the part. So I'lll be taking my vehicle in next Friday morning to have the diagnostic. I wonder how many people may have, over the past year or so, taken their cars to this dealership and had the diagnostic performed with a negative result for a failed fuel pump and incurred fee for something that they would not have brought their car in for had they not gotten the recall notification?

Cam position sensor on bank 1 went out at 75k miles. Causing the vehicle to go into a sort of limp mode. The only way the issue was temporary fixed was if the battery was unplugged and plugged in again and the engine was up to operating temperature.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Car has been throwing check engine light codes for different things for the past three years. First, the spark plugs needed to be replaced, then the electric coolant pump. After each repair, the check engine light came back on as soon as 4 days after but as late as a month after. Most recently, while driving on the highway the car check engine light came on and began flashing and the vehicle would not accelerate past 20mph. I took the closest exit and parked the car and had it towed to the closest Honda dealer where they informed me that there is an active recall and they are waiting for a call to see what they can do to help but that there is a head gasket issue as well as a fuel pump code. Previously when the check engine light came on and it took it to get checked I was told there was no code holding in the system.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving in between 40 and 50 miles per hour and the automatic braking got activated automatically for a few seconds. The road was clear and there were no vehicles or obstacles anywhere. It was about 9.15 am and approx temp was 40 F. This is the second time it occurred. The car is not under factory warranty and the dealer would be charging diagnostic fees and unlikely to find anything wrong.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Subject: Urgent Concern Regarding Parts Availability for Fuel Pump Motor Safety Recall (Exp2) – 2018-2020 Honda Accord 2.0T Dear NHTSA, I am reaching out to express my concerns regarding Honda's lack of parts availability for the Fuel Pump Motor Recall on the 2018-2020 Honda Accord 2.0T. This recall addresses a critical safety issue with the fuel pump, which could cause the engine to stall unexpectedly—a significant hazard to drivers and passengers alike. It is troubling to note that while Honda has continued to produce and release new vehicles for 2024 and 2025, they have not been able to provide the necessary parts to repair recalled models already on the road. This discrepancy raises serious questions about the prioritization of safety, as new production vehicles seem to take precedence over the repair needs of existing owners affected by this recall. As a Honda owner, I rely on my vehicle daily, and this delay has caused considerable inconvenience and concerns for my safety. I am seeking guidance on Honda's obligations in this situation and any additional steps that owners can take to expedite these necessary repairs. If there is anything that NHTSA can do to encourage Honda to prioritize the availability of these parts, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
