SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The vehicle is stalling while driving to a point where on the freeway it slows down to 10 miles per hour to all of the sudden have all the emergency lights on that come to a sudden stop. I have called 3 different Honda dealers, they said that they need to check what is wrong with the car first making it clear that there is a fee of $220. My daughter has been driving the vehicle in very unsafe conditions. On Friday [XXX] we were on our way to Oakland from the Ventura County (I was the passenger) and in less than an hour driving the car started stalling to come to a sudden stop on the freeway. I took the vehicle to the Ocean Honda dealership the following week driving forcefully the car at 20-30 miles because we could not afford another trip on the towing truck. The service person drove the car from the parking lot to the front of the service office (less than 50 ft) and the lady said the car was in perfect condition and not one emergency light was on! I shared with them images of all the emergency lights were on in the vehicle and as well as at least 4 codes. We left the car and then they called me to notify that there was an issue with the injectors and that the vehicle was still under warranty for those parts because it is under 70,000 miles. The next day the vehicle was given back to me. I asked about the replacement of the gas pump, and they said because the vehicle is not having any issues it cannot be replaced. That night the car stopped on the freeway, I took it back and now they said it was the spark plugs. I decided to take the vehicle to a different dealership. Now at DCH Honda today the injectors were replaced and the car still stalling and stopping. They recommend replacing the spark plugs ($350 they will charge) and I told them I will take it to my mechanic. They said, "but you know the car is not fixed even if they replace them". I said you are telling me this safety issue is that so what is it? Nobody willing to change the GAS PUMP! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMA

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2018 Honda vehicle Head Gasket failure and Fuel pump failure were detected by New Jersey Park Ridge local service and New Jersey Tenaflay Honda service. All panel lights in my vehicle are on. Problems I experienced included intermittent stalling or loss of power, no gas flow. However, what scared me the most was that while driving at normal speed, the engine lost all its power and stopped taking gas, and our vehicle shook. Our vehicle stopped automatically by cutting off the gas flow on the road. Luckily there weren't too many cars behind us, which allowed us to move to the side of the road. I had my family and children in our car. This could have had much worse consequences. Within the scope of the 2018 Honda recall, no recall request has been received for my vehicle yet. However, as a result of the major problems experienced, I request that this security problem be resolved for my vehicle, which should be in the recall program. My vehicle is currently in service, and I cannot use it in any way.

ENGINE
Head Gasket Failure diagnosed by Honda city in New York. The purpose of the diagnostic was to address what I believed to be issues related to the ongoing Fuel Pump recall, as discussed with an American Honda representative prior to my visit. The symptoms I had been experiencing included intermittent stalling or loss of power, what prompted me to reach out immediately was an instance on a highway where the engine lost all power, prompting us to pull over to the side of the road, This could have been a much worse outcome. Additionally, I have noticed occasional trembling upon startup. Per the Service department the conclusion of the diagnostic was that the coolant was low due to washing the piston heads and cylinder walls and ultimately the head gasket needed to be replaced along with spark plugs.The total costs for these services amount to about $4,800. To provide further context, the coolant was last replaced on [XXX] 2024. The first issues began to arise in mid-February when the digital gauge displayed at least 8 warnings across various systems. [XXX], 2024 the car was brought in for more maintenance and further investigation into the warnings. Nothing came about here as the issue couldn't be reproduced and no action was taken. I feel as though there was nothing more I could have done to prevent this situation. The car has a pristine maintenance record and has just over 42,000 miles after a little over 5 years of ownership , an average of 15-20 miles a day. After researching on my own, Ive found this to be much more common issue for the 2018 1.5 accords along with other models.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Driving on Highway at approximately 65 Miles Per Hour using the Adaptive Cruise Control. Car in front of us took a right hand exit. My 2021 Honda Accord activated the Braking System and applied the brakes, so I stepped on the accelerator thinking it would override the braking system. It had no effect. There were cars behind me at the time and luckily nobody was injured. I looked this up on the internet and found that it is a reported issue. That is why I am contacting you. Very concerned about the safety of my family.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This has happened on two separate occasions, with our purchased-new 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid, which has about 30,000 miles on it. We've had no other issues with this car prior to these two events described below, which happened within in one week of each other. FIRST EPISODE: I was driving on a 4 lane road separated by a median, moving straight ahead at around 30MPH, when suddenly, without any warning from any of the car systems, the displays went completely dark, I was unable to accelerate at all, and had to coast-over into a shopping center parking spot. Once I rolled into the lot (I still had steering), I placed it into park. I waited a few minutes, pushed down the brake and started the car without incident. We took it to a Honda Dealership, but they stated that because there were no warning messages we saw displayed, they would be unlikely to be able to reproduce this, and given we would have had to leave the car for several days without a loaner, we chalked it up to some kind of fluke-glitch. If this had happened on a freeway at higher speeds, this could have caused a serious life-threatening situation (being completely without power, unable to accelerate in fast moving traffic). SECOND EPISODE: This time, I was making a left hand turn and accelerating from a side street onto a main thoroughfare when the car once again lost all ability to accelerate, all screens went dark, and I coasted to the side of the road. There were no warning lights or messages prior to this happening, and once again all display screens were completely dark. Once I coasted to a stop, I put the car in Park, put my foot on the brake, and the car started right up. Had there been any cars coming in either direction, this loss of all ability to accelerate (and all power) could have placed me and other drivers in a serious life-threatening situation. We have an appointment on 6-6-24 with a local Honda Dealership, and it appears others have had this same problem.

STEERING
Re: complaint #11590390, after loosing my steering I had to take my car to the dealer I found no recalls on this website but much to my surprise there is. Honda replaced the steering gearbox. Total parts and labor came to $3056.69. The recall campaign number for the ESP gearbox replacement is 15-056-5Z200, good info for the future for you and anyone else having this issue. Not bad for a eleven year old car, not to mention how happy I was not having to pay for the repair. Thank you Honda.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I contacted a Nissan dealer regarding a repair matter concerning a safety recall for the fuel pump module. It seems that the vehicle is encountering stalling issues, which could potentially increase the likelihood of accidents or injuries, potentially resulting in fatalities. I was informed that Honda does not currently have the necessary part and regrettably, they are unable to schedule the repair until August. There were no indications or alerts before the failure occurred. This is my primary mode of transportation.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My honda Accord’s automatic braking system suddenly engaged this morning for no reason. The driver of the car following me had to slam on his breaks to avoid rear-ending me. If the other driver had not stopped, we would both have been injured. Honda’s emergency braking system is dangerous. There should be a way to disable it permanently.
