ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
10 months after purchasing my vehicle from the dealership, all lights illuminated on the dash, it goes through each warning every time you crank. This would not go away. I took it to the honda dealership during a recall and they said they could not find the problem. Suddenly this week, after owning this car for 2 years and being told the issue could not be found, and only 90,000 miles, the car made a sudden stop on the road almost causing an accident. The car would not move forward or reverse. We had to have it towed to a dealership and waiting to hear issue. This is an extreme hazard! And I may be stuck with a costly bill once again, with no resolution.

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The 2024 Accord EX front passenger seat sits too low and has no height adjustment. Many adult front passengers are positioned extremely low to the floor with zero height adjustment. I believe the airbag may not effectively protect or even cause injury to these passengers as many can not see over the dash. This abnormal low position also causes leg discomfort and cramps during longer trips. I recommend that Honda provide a seat adjustment alteration or install optional seat-jacking spacers to restore passenger height to a safe and or normal position.

AIR BAGS
A red passenger airbag indicator appears sometimes on my dashboard. I took it to the dealership, and they said it is a airbag in the car seat that is sending an alert. The alert only occurs when a passenger is in the car in that seat, however, even then it does not always appear

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, SERVICE BRAKES
Apparentlhy, many VSA Modulator Contol Unit on the ABS on the Honda accords from 2013-2017 have failures right now. My car has the same issue. Took it to the dealership and the guy working there even said this should be a recall. A lot of the honda accords have been having this same issue. All the warning lights on the dash light up and its because of the bad ABS module going bad. I really think honda should take responsibility on this. It is costing me approximately $3000 to fix at the dealership since they have to make connections and bleed all brakes during swap. A number of YouTube videos point to the hair thin connector to card connections as the failure point.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automatic emergency braking system malfunctioned on 7/18/24. I was driving approx. 20 mph on a local road and there was no vehicle, pedestrian, or other object in front of the car when unexpectedly the orange warning to brake came on and an instant later the car braked on its own and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. Given the sudden and forceful stop, I went forward into the seat belt. Fortunately, there was not a vehicle behind me as I would have been rear ended putting both me and the people in the other vehicle in danger. I reported the incident to the dealer using their online system (I wanted to do it in writing, but could not find a direct email address), but have not heard back from them yet.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
As I was driving in a 25 mph zone (thank goodness) and I drove over the metal construction paver on the road my car brake alert started beeping then made my car come to an abrupt stop! Thank goodness I wasn’t going that fast and no one behind me was close enough to hit me! This sensor needs to be corrected! Someone could have died or been seriously hurt! That should never happen what if I were on the highway going over 50 mph

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On June 9, 2024, while I was driving on the highway, my new Accord flashed a series of warning messages on the right side of the driver information interface (instrument panel). The messages that flashed and scrolled through repeatedly are listed below: Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer. Blind spot information system problem. See your dealer. Hill start assist problem. Vehicle may roll upon brake release. See your dealer. Transmission system problem. Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer. Additionally, near the fuel gauge a red BRAKE light flashed and an amber BRAKE SYSTEM stayed illuminated. This is upsetting because I've had my new Honda Accord just over one month and have fewer than 1500 miles on it. UPDATE: I took my new Honda Accord Touring to my dealer and they examined it and told me a solenoid needed replacement. They ordered the part which took several day and replaced it. The solenoid replacement did not fix the problem and the service manager said my car needed a new transmission (eCVT). I was shocked such a new car would require such a radical repair. After waiting two weeks, my transmission was replaced. However, I'm not confident in my car. I read on NHTSA that 2023 Accord Hybrid had a recall for eCVT transmission replacement. My Accord Hybrid Touring is a 2024 manufactured in 3/2024.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am the owner of a 2018 Honda accord purchased from Hillside Honda in Jamaica, NY on February of 2018. In 2021 started to experience issues with my vehicle while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked, loss motive power, switched to limp mode with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle failed to properly accelerate while in limp mode. After stopping the vehicle, the check engine warning light disappeared and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer baron Honda located in Patchogue, NY for a routine oil change, and, to be diagnosed. The dealer informed me that the failure was caused by damage to a fuel injector that would cost approx. $2500 to repair. The dealers diagnosis of the fuel injector issue was incorrect and the dealer later admitted that the fuel injector did not need to be changed. At the time of the dealers initial diagnosis i declined repair of the fuel injector and just received an oil change. My intention was to get a 2nd opinion from another Honda dealership as the vehicle was 3 years old. Due to covid it was difficult to bring my vehicle to another dealer immediately & i would be responsible for the cost of another diagnostic. The failure subsided for a short time but than a few months later the same issue recurred. I then became aware of a recall to the fuel pump to the same make & model vehicle which the manufacturer informed me that my vin # did not match a fuel pump recall. While still experiencing on & off issues with my car relating to limp mode since 2021 I filed 2 cases with American Honda in 2023 & was denied. In December 2023 American Honda finally told me that my vehicle had a known recall to its fuel pump but the parts are in back order. At this time my vehicle still has issues with the engine limp mode that may/may not be related to the recall. I request that Honda remedy the issue. I demand either a full repair of my vehicle engine to resolve the limp mode issue, OR a new vehicle

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On February 16th, I visited Walsh Honda in Macon, Georgia, reporting issues with my fuel and car not pulling and acting irregularly. Suspecting bad fuel, I was informed of a safety recall for the fuel pump, which was likely the problem. However, they changed the spark plug instead, charged me for it, and did not address the recall, which has been in place since 2023. They also noted a P303 misfire. The following day, February 17th, I returned for a 100,000-mile check. I spent over $600 on services, including replacing the belt alternator, flushing and draining the coolant, and turning the rotors. On March 18, 2024, the same P303 misfire code appeared. This time Walsh Honda claimed the engine cylinder was cracked and scarred, suggesting a $7,000 engine replacement, despite the fuel pump recall. They insisted on the engine repair instead of addressing the fuel pump recall. In April, I was involved in a rear-end collision and, as a had my car at Five Star Collision in Warner Robins for two months. I got the car back on May 31st, but it continued to act erratically, running hot and not pulling properly. In July 2024, I took the car to Hughes Honda in Warner Robins, Georgia who refused to fix the fuel pump despite the recall, I was told that, that is not the code for a new engine pump. That I would need to pay $6000 for the codes that was put in initially by Walsh in Macon, Ga. citing the need for head gaskets and injectors. They demanded this repair before addressing the fuel pump recall. This pattern of ignoring the fuel pump recall and pushing expensive repairs is troubling and seems to prioritize profit over safety. This is how the common man and woman get screwed by doing the right thing. Being that I am 100% Disabled Veteran I am very disappointed with treatment I received from both Honda dealerships. I wish for not another veteran, man or woman go through the disrespect I received.
