STEERING
As we reported earlier (action number EA21001), the steering suddenly pulled 90 degrees to the left, sending the car into the opposing lane of traffic. This happened with absolutely no warning. Fortunately, no cars were approaching. The vehicle was inspected the Springfield, Pa., Honda service center. On Saturday, July 15, 2023, service representative Rasheed Gary informed us that the diagnostic report affirmed that \that the problem was "intermittent" and that for now Honda could do nothing about it. A copy of the diagnostic report was sent to us, and to Honda headquarters.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, ENGINE
Problems began at 50,000 miles and now at 60,000 a year and 1/2 later they are ongoing . Electrical and engine …. Honda knows all the problems bless I am having are in many of their models! This is DANGEROUs and Honda is negligent ! First it was my car wouldn’t start. The alternator went also It needed to have the front and rear seal replaced . That is crazy ! It must be leaking oil and needed the seals due to improper torque. Had that repaired and within 2 weeks I kept saying it wasn’t running right. THEN My car overheated after driving for 10 min on a busy highway in Atlanta. Smoke pouring out of the hood. I was trapped and couldn’t get out because of traffic. HORRIFIC experience.! Electrical issue began at 50,000 miles at the same time . Electrical issues ongoing AND engine does not run right. It’s rough loud , judders , it can be sluggish or no responsive, Last year my car had 50,000 miles. It had gone through a battery every year and 1-2. Then 16 months ago it wouldn’t start. Since I have replace the starter , alternator , battery and battery cable. In individual events of warning lights or failing to start. Today the charging systems warning light and fcw light flashed while driving. The electrical system in this car is a known problem. It MUST be recalled. The 4cl has now time to recall the v-6 for torque and parasitic battery drain . This is potential for fire , car sudden loss of power it’s negligent to not recall . I have invoice after invoice but the problem persists . Why are you only recalling the 4L engine ? There is a class action about battery drain but only for 4 L? I know the didnt produce many accord V6 but the V6 is used in the Acura and I believe the Odysse. I have called and called Honda . I emailed the head of Honda in Japan . He sent my email back to the dealer. This is my 4th Honda. We were an entire Honda family but not any more . Safety is not first .My accord problems will result in a terrible accident . Please do something

STEERING
The car suddenly lurched to the left as though the steering mechanism had a mind of its own. The vehicle was traveling 25 to 30 mph, not far from her house. This occurred on a trip to the dentist. Luckily, no one was in the opposing lane of traffic and we were able to bring the vehicle to a stop without smashing into anything. This happened without warning. In fact, we had just had the car inspected for a trip check, and our mechanic pronounced it in perfect shape. No dashboard warnings gave any indication of a problem. A call to a Honda dealer's service center was not returned.

STEERING
I was traveling on Interstate 84 in Ny state at a rate of approximately 65mph when the vehicle suddenly to a sharp turn to the left into the passing lane and then immediately auto corrected with a sharp right turn and took a few long seconds to stabilize. The only thing that prevented this from being a catastrophe was the fact that there was no vehicle in the passing lane and no vehicle immediately behing me. The steering wheel did this...not me. The contact stated that the incident date was May 31, 2023 and not June 1, 2023.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Battery has been replaced 3 times. Starter is failing. It sometimes takes up to 15 minutes or more to crank my car making me late for work. Running errands/getting in & out of the car & having to turn the key 50 times in the heat of summer with a baby in the car is a safety hazard. Fuel pump issue when I put my car in reverse & start to back up, my car will die. Another safety hazard because I don’t have control of my car, it just keeps rolling backwards after it dies & doesn’t allow me to get out of the way if another vehicle is coming. Information center on the dashboard often tells me to check fuel cap. Anything happening in the fuel area is certainly hazardous. I’ve called the Honda dealership & they tell me my car is no longer under warranty. Yes, everything is available for inspection. The starter problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. The fuel cap notification appeared 2 weeks ago but the car has been dying in reverse for 2 years. The starter began failing 4 months ago with no help from the Honda dealership due to my warranty being expired.

I Was driving my vehicle on, standing on the Expressway heading east. The roads were snow and sleek. Out of nowhere. My vehicle start to lose power. And suddenly stopped. I was stuck in the middle of the highway, very scared and feared for my life and I feared for the other peoples lives and their vehicles and hoping no collision occurs. Luckily. I was able to avoid the collision. And a tow truck came to tow my car to the Honda dealership. I had a recall for the drive shaft. A corroded drive shaft broke on which the vehicle was unmovable. My vehicle also roll away when I shifted to parked and I had to set the parking brake. This almost cost me the risk of a crash or injury without prior warning. And the Honda dealership did not correct the problem. I had to tow The vehicle To my mechanic shop and the next following day my mechanic expected that my drive shaft was not good. Mechanic had to order The drive actual shaft And get it replaced and fixed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Multitude of dash warning lights are on. Honda dealership says the Modulator assembly needs replaced. They say its backordered and have no idea when to expect it. I have seen on the internet that other customers are asking the same question. It seems dangerous since I have no idea or what safety systems are working.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Sunroof exploded and shattered spontaneously without any signs of being hit by a flying debris or foreign objects, while driving approximately at 70 mph along I-15 North, between the Nisqualli and Palmdale Road exits, in Victorville, CA 92392. No vehicle was ahead of me and two cars approximately 300 feet behind were following me. This happened on a Sunday between 1-2 pm. I did not know that there were incidents of spontaneous explosion and shattering of sunroofs until I was able to read an article while shopping online for a genuine Honda sunroof replacement, since Valley-Hi Honda informed me that the part is backordered with no ETA. I hope Honda will replace it for free with a recall advisory.

STEERING
Driving in rainy conditions, no puddles or standing water observed on road. Driving about 50mph, slight bend in road. The car suddenly veers left and I cannot control the car with steering wheel. The car hits the median, spins completely around and then hits median again and stops. I put the car in park and turned the car off. The airbags on driver’s side windows, steering wheel, and driver’s seat deployed. I did not see any warning lights. I have second degree burns on left hand and left forearm. The car is being looked at by an independent service at this time. I have not contacted manufacturer. If the insurance company does not think the car is totaled, and we fix the car, how do I know this won’t happen again?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After having my Honda Accord sport 2015 4 cylinder, I started to notice around 90k miles an occasional grinding noise when starting the car that is getting progressively worse. I've had previous Hondas with many more miles and never had this issue before. I believe the issue is the starter, but I have not been able to take it to the mechanic yet. I intend to go this weekend. I'd like to also state there have been numerous reports regarding starters for a V6 engine, and I believe it is the same for 4 cylinders.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My car will randomly say check charge system. I have got my battery and alternator both tested and they're both at Perfect working capacity I Google the problem and I found out there has been a recall in the past on the same issue with 2013 to 2016 models. And my car is having the same electrical issue my car runs and drive fine it does not turn off or anything but it just keeps on showing check charge system. The past recalls has been in the Rusted salt belt area and that is where I am in Massachusetts. It is the battery connector issue. Is the sensor that connects to the battery I guess that has been faulty in the past and other cars and has been in multiple 9th gen Honda Accords. And my car keeps having the same issue even though my battery and alternator are perfect. How do I get Honda to fix this.
