FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
In 2017, I purchased my vehicle brand new from Honda of Union City. A few years later there was a fuel pump recall on my car. I made numerous attempts, phone calls and visits to 3 known honda dealers in Atlanta, GA. I kept getting the runaround, no parts or always something to avoid fixing my car. I called months ago to ask why I never received a letter from honda about the recall and the parts. I was told that my car was fixed by honda of Union City and the case was closed in 2019. However, I have documentation showing the recall was opened until 2023. My car was never fixed, I didn't see or sign any paperwork from Honda.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving on highways, with no one in front of me, vehicle will brake while I have my foot on the gas. Vehicle says brake system malfunction. When I let off the gas and push again, it'll accelerate for a second, then brake again even though my foot is on the accelerator.

STEERING
While driving slow in a parking lot or parked any wheel movement causes a loud popping or clicking. Dealership diagnosed it as needing a new steering rack on a vehicle with 6000 miles. They should be added to the recall of the civic Integra and CRV‘s as apparently it has the same manufacturer or same problem in the steering rack. I feel very unsafe with my wife in this car, knowing the steering rack (pretty important) could fail at any time.

ENGINE
Component that failed was the head gasket. Willing to have vehicle inspected. However this incident occurred roughly 7 months ago at 125k miles. Safety was put at risk due to engine overheating which could've caused a fire. I haven't asked the dealer if they've seen it before however this issue is easy to find on forums for this vehicle. The vehicle was only inspected by the dealer who repaired it, I was told by them they had to send off some part of my engine to honda to ensure it wasn't warped before repairing. The ridiculous part was the only warning I received in my car was engine temp high if you ask me such a major failure should cause the check engine light to come one. I had no other warnings than the temp warning. My vehicle doesn't even have a Guage to display the engine temp. To ensure the listed vin shows the correct model I drive a 2019 honda accord hybrid ex with 133,500 miles.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving at moderate speed (between 25 and 35mph), the car's dashboard indicated that The Brake System, Lane Departure, Honda Scene, Electric Motor/power Steering, and several other systems were having issues and I should see the dealer. I would have attempted to record these, but I was at an intersection, trying not to get hit. The battery light, tire pressure light, and another indicator (I cannot recall which one) was on. I was able to stop before entering the intersection. After letting up on the break, I did not move forward. I pressed the gas, and still did not move forward. I powered the car off by pressing the power down button after putting the car into park. Upon restart, the Break System error about the "Break Performance being reduced..." was still there and I was able to make my way into a nearby parking lot. I parked, and restarted the car again. The error was still there, but no more indicator lights were on. Inspecting around the car and under the hood, I didn't see anything that stood out. I restarted the car again, and had no lights, but the break message did appear again before disappearing. I was able to drive back home without further incident.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OPEN RECALL ISSUES I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my concern regarding the unresolved recall issue with my 2018 Honda Accord. I am a resident of Columbus, Georgia, and have made multiple attempts to have this recall addressed by the local Honda dealership in Columbus, Georgia, but have encountered persistent difficulties. I have visited the dealership several times inquiring about when my recall can be fixed. On one occasion, I was informed that the manager stated the recall could not be addressed unless my car was experiencing visible issues. Despite explaining that I was already experiencing some of the issues outlined in the recall, I was denied service. A few months later, when I visited again, I was told that no parts were available for the recall. When I called a few weeks after that, my calls went unanswered. Most recently, after the birth of my child, I visited the dealership once again and was told that all parts for the recall were out of stock. I requested to be put on a list to be contacted once the parts became available, as I am concerned about the safety of my vehicle and the need to have the recall honored. Despite these repeated efforts, I have not received a resolution, and I believe my consumer rights are being disregarded. As per Georgia’s consumer protection laws, including those concerning automobile safety and recall procedures, manufacturers are required to honor recalls and ensure that necessary parts are available in a timely manner. The continued lack of response and failure to address this issue is concerning, especially given the potential safety risks involved. Please do note and keep in mind that I have came to the Honda business about 3 times . I am undecided of the actual dates but the year was 2024 . I know I went before I had my baby in September and after I had my baby I received a minor inspection due to me complaining.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Very frequenly after idling for more that 5 minutes with the heat on before beginning to drive, the vehicle will create extremely loud and disorienting scratching static noise. This condition is recreated under a number of other conditions and is heavily reported and documented on various forms and youtube pages. Can be found by searching "2016 accord head unit static" This issue has been reported to honda and has not been recognized as a defect. They quote a repair cost to solve the issue with the defective head unit. The issues can only be stopped by pressing the power button on the head unit it self. Sometimes, frequent start and stops of the ignition can remedy the issue.

ENGINE
The engine is burning oil, about 2 quarts a month. The oil level consistently runs low when checked and I have to top it off with 1 qt every 2 weeks. There is no leaking under the car so the mechanic said the engine is burning the oil and I would need to replace the whole engine!. The cost of replacing the engine is more than the car is worth. I just bought it a year ago and thought Hondas were more reliable than this. The mechanic said Honda had some issues with the "rings" and tp check this website for a recall. I do not see a recall but if many other similar cars have the same problem there should be a recall that Honda should fix.

ENGINE
My 2016 Honda Accord has approximately 137,000 miles. I change the oil, filters, etc. at regular intervals. One night I noticed a ticking when going uphill. I thought it might be a belt.(no warning lights) The next day I had to go somewhere, and on my way back the ticking got noticeably worse and then the engine started screeching. Massive loss of power. Shortly after, a loud bang/thump noise and the car stopped running. I pulled into a school parking lot, got the car towed. Next day the mechanic where the car was towed said I threw a rod, and it went through the engine block and the oil pan; and my engine would have to be replaced. I have not (yet) replaced the engine (waiting for estimate). Spoke to Honda corporate (case #XXXX) to see if they could help me out (financially) with the replacement, because everyone I talked to said it's highly unusual for a Honda to throw a rod with mileage this low (anecdotal I know, but still). I spoke to local Honda dealer (Honda corporate said it would have to be inspected by Honda) but have not had it towed there yet.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
MY ABS & all related braking lights on dash display pop up every now & then, on & off, & is not on permanently full time. Mechanic said it could be the module. I heard it last week on the radio about this Honda issue & said it was a safety & braking issue. I don’t see it on the recall list, but people with a 2013 Accord has many complaints about it on YouTube web & various searches. This should be a recall & what are we supposed to do about this safety defect?

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Recurring issue where car loses all power to the powertrain, brakes, etc. while driving. Electrical systems inside the car and lights still functions, but complete loss of system to accelerate or keep the car going. After incident, computerized dashboard scrolls through multiple errors and then repeats (I have video). When I turn the car to the off position and then restart, only a single error for the braking system shows on the dash/computer system. If I turn it off again, and then back on, all errors are gone and the car drives "normally." Dealership could not repeat the issue and said computer system did not show any errors, even when I showed them pictures of the errors. First occurrence was 3/6/2024 on freeway during rush hour traffic, ~55mph. Car had 8010 miles on it. Second occurrence was 1/15/2025 on side highway where speed limit was 55mph; I was traveling about 40mph. Third occurrence on 2/7/2025 was just starting from a red light at an intersection and just made it through the intersection when car failed. Taking to dealership again for diagnosis.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
came to stop sign. As I turned the corner, engine died in the intersection, all warning lights and dashboard warnings came on. I was dead in the intersection. I had to put car into park, turn the car off, turn car back on and then I could start the car and move out of the intersection to the side of the road. All warning lights and dashboard warnings were on. I have pic of warnings from last event (of 4). able to drive car, everything was normal except brake warnings was on the whole trip (30 min) but brakes worked fine. Parked car for 2 hours and when I came out, all warnings were NOT displayed. This has happened at about the following dates and mileage on the car BETWEEN events. Car purchased new 2/25/2023. First event was about 7/16/2023 at about 2994 miles. Second event was about 2/20/2024 at about 4978 miles since first event (7972 total miles). Third event was about 6/20/2024 at about 3885 miles since 2nd event (11857 total miles). Fourth event was on 11/9/2024 at exactly 3970 miles since 3rd event (15827 total miles. Each time, I have taken it into a dealer. They did a software update after 3rd event and after 4th event, replaced ICM module (ignition control module). Honda factory person worked with dealership after 3rd and 4th event. To date, we do not have any evidence that replacing the ICM has fixed the problem but also no evidence it has not fixed the problem as the events seem to happen every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. I have lots of documentation I have sent to Honda and have a case number with them (13997837). I have asked Honda to replace the car. They started the process but just this week in a call, they said they were ending that process for now. Not sure if I was able to ADD copies of my dealership invoices, my own correspondence with Honda. If they are not on this document, call me and I will send them to you or email them to you.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
All the lights in the car turn on. I have no clue what the problem is. I have searched the internet and have encountered many people with the same problem. With no one finding a solution to it. Honda needs to take responsibility for this. I changed the battery and have replaced the battery terminals.
