SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving on a city street at about 30mph. There was no one in front of me or behind me. Nothing in the road. The orange rectangular brake light came on for no reason, kept flashing and it felt as if the brakes were automatically being pumped, slowing the car down to a compete stop. In addition, I had no control of the steering. It was very dangerous situation which could have resulted in accident or injury.

STEERING
My accord has an EPS gearbox recall. Causing problems with steering. The issue has been confirmed by Honda dealership. I’ve researched the issue, it could cause the vehicle to lose steering control and crash. I started hearing a loud springy/scraping noise about a week and a half ago. I took my vehicle to Pat Peck Honda (Gulfport, MS) the next day. Today I was at the dealership for 5 hours, they claimed they fixed the issue. After leaving, my car is making the same noise. Worried for the safety of myself and my child. The dealership stated they cannot give me a loaner, yet they have not fixed the issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On March 4, I took my car in for the high pressure fuel pump recall and was under the impression that it was replaced. On May 7 my car caught on fire two minutes after exiting the vehicle. It was confirmed by a fire inspector that it was the high-pressure fuel pump that caused the fire. There was no warning lights or anything to give warning that the vehicle was malfunctioning. I feel I was put at risk because if I would have had to stop at a stoplight, the car would’ve caught on fire with me in it. I also drive my grandchildren around with me a lot of the time, but on this date, I had no children with me. Honda has not responded or assigned a case manager to the incident and it’s been two weeks.

SERVICE BRAKES
The ABS module control has failed in my vehicle. This failure is a potentially safety hazard. Per research, "Honda vehicles, particularly those from 2008-2017, have experienced ABS module failures, often indicated by an illuminated ABS light." A local Honda dealership diagnosed the issue. The vehicle has not bee inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance rep; however, the issue was diagnosed by a local Honda dealership. There are warning lights, that only appeared after the failure.

SEAT BELTS
Unknown. I believe the seat belts in my car do not provide the restraint necessary for my safety. Toke car to Dealer, who provided a vague explanation in an effort to convince me that there is a special way of pulling the seat belt all the way out and wait until they click to ensure they engage. The vehicle manual doesn't state this requirement. Honda corporate would only advise me to take the car to another dealer or request the dealer i bought the car do a Diagnostic test. The dealer general requests that I request this service by text. I have requested the service to which there has been no answer,

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving in the city at a speed of thirty mph when my wife, a passenger in the car, and myself, heard a loud pop. Suddenly I was unable to see the traffic which was following me because my rear window was completely shattered. Since I had traffic behind me and it was raining hard, I decided to drive a few more blocks to seek refuge and help at a nearby Car dealership, which specializes in glass repair. There they taped and covered the rear window opening in plastic after removing the shattered windshield and vacuuming up the many glass pieces which fell into the car. I have had to contact my insurance company, as both Honda Corporation and the warranty I have remaining on the vehicle will not cover the repair. This I was told by by the Honda dealer where I purchased the vehicle.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I had a recall on my fuel pump impeller and Honda replaced the pump AFTER having me wait over 1 year from me beginning to see problems with the car because "they did not have enough parts to go around". After finally receiving a letter stating I could bring the car in to have it replaced I took it to a dealership and had it replaced, by that point, I had experienced the vehicle shutting off while I was driving and having difficulty starting. After they replaced the fuel pump they advised me that the injectors were bad and needed to be replaced. The manufactors knows the part is bad, which is why they discontinued this part and created a new one to replace it, however they're getting out of helping anybody with the cost because they're not recalling them- a simple google search will show thousands of people experiencing this same issue and Honda not taking accountability. The lights on the dash first appeared about a year and a half ago, I called Honda about my recall and they told me they will not replace the part and that it is unrelated (keep in mind this was a phone call- the man had never even seen my car and he told me with certainty this was not related to the recall). The reason I keep mentioning the recall on the pump is because the fuel pump sends the fuel to the injectors, if the injectors are not getting enough, or even getting too much fuel sent to them this will cause them to fail- I believe that due to the faulty pump it caused the injectors to go bad and because Honda made everybody wait to have the recall replaced they should also be recalling the injectors that are also bad and faulty, further support- why would they discontinue a perfectly good part? Because they know the injectors are bad and they're trying to get ahead of this. I opened a good will case with them and they denied it, I'm very hopeful that you will do better research than they did into the circumstances and see the story without bias.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
During particularly hot days when you first start the car the audio system suddenly lets out an extremely loud static noise that does not go away, even if you turn down the volume to zero, or turn off the system completely. It is very jarring and a dangerous distraction while driving. It has not been seen by a dealer, but online testimonies show they only opt to replace the unit out of the consumer's pocket. No warning messages pop up.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
False alarms (several hundred) with audio and visual warnings but no braking. ONE instance of false alarm WITH emergency braking from 55mph to under 30mph. I do not recall a false warning happening after sundown, ever. Alarms have occurred on bright days with sharp shadows, and overcast with no shadows. There always seems to be a solid overhead object being approached, overpass, railway trestle, solid bar supporting a traffic light. This is highly intermittent where alarms occurred 3 in a week, to 1 in a span of two months. The two constants I have noted are it happens during daylight hours and a substantial overhead object or structure is being approached. Alarms have been occurring since 2021 when i bought the car new off the lot.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L with not even 62,000 miles. When we purchased the car we got the extended warranty, thinking Honda would stand by their product. Not true. After the first month we had to have the battery replaced. Fast forward a few years and we were told we needed a new battery”wire harness” at a cost of over $2,000. Now it is 2025 and the backup camera only works when the turn signal is used; it remains a black screen when put into reverse. Add to that what is apparently a major problem with other Honda owners. When we go to start the car, we get nothing. The CAR DOESN’T START. Thinking that the key fob needed a battery, we replaced them with new batteries. It continues to be a problem. I have a fear I will be out one day and it will not start completely. I see that I am not the only person complaining of this and feel that Honda should issue a recall for the Accord addressing this problem. I feel that I may become stranded one day and this seems to be a SAFETY ISSUE.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The contact owned a 2022 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 68-70 MPH, the vehicle stopped abruptly, causing another vehicle to crash into the rear passenger's side of the vehicle, and a second vehicle to crash into the rear of the vehicle, causing the trunk to be pushed inside the rear seats of the vehicle. The brake warning light was illuminated. The air bags of the contact's vehicle did not deploy. The air bags of the two other vehicles deployed. The contact stated that the rearview mirror separated and hit her head, causing a concussion. Additionally, the contact sustained whiplash, PSTD, and contusions on the back and on both ankles. The contact received medical assistance. The front passenger seat occupant of the second vehicle that rear-ended the vehicle sustained hip injuries, as the occupant was still recovering from a hip surgery that she had undergone prior to the collision. It was unknown whether the passenger received medical assistance. There was no property damage. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to Crash Champions, where it was totaled. The contact hired private investigators who retrieved the EDR data and informed the contact that the emergency braking system had engaged prior to the crash; however, the contact stated that there was no other vehicle or object around the vehicle at the time the emergency braking system had engaged. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the contact was informed that special equipment was not available to diagnose the vehicle based on the EDR data. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,600.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
UNKNOWN I received the notice that there was an active recall on my 2018 Honda about the 1.5 Fuel Pump. I have scheduled several appointments to fix this, only for Honda to cancel all appointments related to the recall, stating they didn't have the part. I was headed to work, and every light on the dashboard that could come up, came up. There were several warning lights from brakes, transmission, collision, engine, etc. I took the car to the dealership, and they discovered that the fuel injector was the culprit. I am outraged because they're denying there's a connection, and I believe otherwise.
