FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Automatic Emergency Braking system engaged without any vehicle or person in front of my car. I was driving at about 40 mph and the brakes slammed on and then after a few seconds released How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? If a vehicle was directly behind me, they could have slammed into my car. No car was at the time this happened. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I haven't taken it in yet. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The BRAKE light came on on the dashboard when it occurred.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the ongoing electrical issues plaguing my 2018 Honda Accord, VIN: [XXX] ]. Since the initial purchase of the vehicle, I have experienced recurring problems with dashboard lights illuminating unexpectedly, indicating underlying electrical malfunctions. In an attempt to rectify these issues, I have diligently brought the vehicle to authorized Honda service centers on multiple occasions. Despite their efforts, including the replacement of the electrical wiring harness in 2023, the problem persists unabated. Despite extensive diagnostics and repair attempts, the root cause of the issue remains unresolved, leading to significant inconvenience and frustration. Moreover, during one service visit, Honda service personnel erroneously diagnosed a faulty gas pump, resulting in an unnecessary replacement at my expense totaling $1375.00. It is pertinent to note that Honda was already aware of a recall affecting my vehicle, yet failed to rectify the issue under the recall and instead charged me for the repair. Subsequent attempts to seek full reimbursement for this unjust expense were rebuffed by Honda corporate, citing the partial financing of the repairs as a justification for their refusal. To compound matters, on Saturday, [XXX], I once again encountered a recurrence of the dashboard lights issue, signaling a persistent and unresolved defect within the vehicle's electrical system. This ongoing issue has severely compromised the safety, reliability, and enjoyment of my vehicle ownership experience. I am at a loss for further recourse and demand immediate action to address and rectify these persistent electrical issues with my 2018 Honda Accord. I expect Honda to honor its commitment to customer satisfaction and take decisive steps to remedy this situation promptly and comprehensively.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: DYNAMIC BRAKE SUPPORT/BRAKE ASSIST
Question 1. When driving the vehicle in straight line on the highway and I come up on another car in either the right or left hand lanes, sometimes (not all the time) the car breaks very slightly (but strong enough to feel it) even though there is no chance of a collision. If necessary, the systems and sensors responsible for this feature are likely accessible for inspection. Q2. Clearly, erratic and unpredictable function of an emergency breaking system is a safety hazard. Q3. I have not brought this to the attention of Honda. However, I am not the only Accord owner to observe this issue. Q4. No inspection of the system has been performed since I purchased the vehicle about a year ago. Q5. There are no warning lights or other messages presented when this happpens.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Over the past two weeks, I have encountered problems with my car's many lights. These issues have been related to issues with the braking system, collisions, road departure, emission system, ACC system, vehicle stability, and electric power system. By disconnecting the battery, the lights have been switched off. My car can only be operated in this manner.) The automobile would not go faster, and I was stuck in traffic, endangering my safety. There might have been an accident if someone had been speeding. This had happened before, and when I called the Honda store in Milledgeville, Georgia, to report the problem, they said they were unable to locate a problem because the lights had vanished. Yes, Butler Honda in Milledgeville reported that they were unable to locate a problem. The mechanic informed me that it was OK to drive even if the car had lights on because they couldn't use the car today. However, a few days later, the lights had vanished once more. It occurred approximately once in July 2023, twice in December 2023, once in March 2024, and once in April 2024. Before the several lights, there was no warning light.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On [XXX] while driving my vehicle my car would not accelerate over 30 MPH and following that all of my lights came on my dash Emission system problem, ACC, Collision mitigation braking system problem, road departure mitigation problem just to name a few. I proceeded to return home and not drive my car until I could take it to the dealership the following business day. In the meantime, I did research on what had happen to my car and also did a recall search on the make and model of my car and saw that 2018-2020 Honda Accord Sedan had an open recall with a date of 12/18/2023, recall #[XXX] described as 2018-20 Accord 2.0T Fuel Pump Mtr Saf Recall Exp2. I took my car on [XXX] to Team Honda in Baton Rouge, LA where I purchased the car on to have a diagnostic test done. I was told my fuel pump system needed to be replaced but my car did not fall under the recall so I would be responsible for the cost. However, I could contact American Honda to see if they would assist. I called American Honda and was advised they don't know why the dealership told me to call them because my car is not on the recall list even though my car has been diagnosed with the recall issue and they would not cover the repair cost. I am wanting to dispute this matter and request that my repairs be covered. I have been told by the dealership that this is a safety issue and can leave me stranded so to not receive any assistance to cover the repair cost for a known issue for the year, make and model of my vehicle is unacceptable.

POWER TRAIN
Our 2013 Honda Accord driveshaft fractured completely under a low condition when accelerating from a stop straight into a busy intersection. As a result, with the drive train now disabled I had just enough motion to coast a couple of car lengths, across the adjacent gap in the turning lane traffic, to the side of the road stopping adjacent to the curb halfway around the corner. As the corner was heavily traveled by semi-trailer traffic, I needed to get corner cleared as soon as possible to avoid causing an additional traffic hazard. Fortunately, there were those who stopped to help push the car up a hill and clear the way for other vehicles attempting to negotiate the corner. I currently have the defective part in my possession. Due to the location in a busy intersection other including myself were at risk trying to clear the roadway. The repair shop mechanic inspected the failed drive shaft as well as my local Honda service manager. I found afterwards that there is a known recall on component (Part 573 Safety Recall Report [XXX]) for a defect that causes rusting of this component. I was not made aware of the this recall. The recall appears however to be limited to certain states due to their road de-icing/salting policies. Our state of South Dakota was not among them. This prevented owners (and I assume dealers) in our state (South Dakota) from getting any advanced warning of the possible safety hazard. Also, no instrumentation on the vehicle or changes in driving performance can warn you of this impending failure. In my view this defect should have been made know to all owners of 2013 Honda accord and certainly in states such as South Dakota, as even the mud that accumulates on the vehicles drivetrain from the miles driven on unpaved roads can be even more detrimental to improperly protected metal parts, such as this drive shaft.

SEAT BELTS
This is in reference to the current recall on my vehicle for the front seatbelts. I have called a few dealerships over the last few months trying to get it fixed. At first they said there was no info about what to do, then followed by the "theres no parts" right now so there's nothing that can be done. I was able to finally take it in to get fixed as the service advisor told me that they are able to fix it. A few days passed and they told me "actually we dont have the parts to fix it" and told me that they wouldn't even test if it passed or failed (needing repair or not) becuase if it failed they would not be able to give me the car back for safety concerns. If it is such a safety concern then I believe that I shouldn't be driving the car at all. I just have to "deal with it" and take the risk that my car might or might not be affected and in turn if I get in an accident it could cause me more harm. I feel that at this point, about 6 months after the recall was announced, if it cannot be fixed the car as whole needs to be recalled / bought back and not put customers in a position to keep wondering when this is going to get fixed.

SERVICE BRAKES
Very, very common issue on 8th generation AND 9th generation Honda Accords (as well as other Honda models from this era). ABS modules throw solenoid codes (usually consisting of VSA, ABS, traction control, and parking brake lights on the gauge cluster). Sure, the vehicle's ABS may still operate, however this is still a problem and generally not safe. My 2008 Accord EX-L V6 w/ Nav recently had this problem and I have resolved it by swapping over a used part. Honda wants to charge $2500 on average for both the part and labor. What the problem is, is that the circuit board in these modules have been using the wrong gauge of wire according to many mechanics. According to my mechanic, this thing can be triggered with something as simple as an automated car wash. Honda generally makes great, mostly reliable vehicles that are fun to drive. It's a shame that these modules have not been engineered correctly. I hope that the NHTSA can take initiative and force Honda to do a recall on these Aisin modules and fit the cars with better engineered ones. Brakes are an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY in cars and it is IMPERATIVE to have a reliable ABS system. Again, this is a widespread issue and hopefully can be resolved by the NHTSA, working with Honda. Thank you.

STEERING, WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES
Power Steering Failure. It is available for inspection upon request. After taking a right turn, the steering got stuck and did not come back as expected. This caused car crashing into the curb on the road, severely damaging front right front rim and tire. The steering alignments after the crash has been impacted - steering has to be tilted to make the car go straight. There are multiple warnings signs that include Brake System Warning, Vehicle Stability Assist System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem I have video of all the warnings that I see. The warnings disappeared for sometime and then came back. I am taking the car to a Honda dealership for inspection and repair tomorrow.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My issues started end of December 2023, where my car would all of a sudden stop, and this happened to me on a highway at a speed of 70mph in Houston, which is a very serious safety issue. After this happened, I got this checked out at Honda dealership, they informed that this happened because of an outstanding recall for fuel pump and told me to wait till Feb 2024 when I will receive a recall letter and parts will be Ava by March 2024. By the time Feb came, I got a letter and it says that it will be available in Fall of 2024, that is almost entire year of 2024. Dealership said they can’t do anything and told me to reach out of corporate Honda, following their advice I filed a complaint to Honda corporate and when then finally got back to me, they told me Honda corporate can’t do anything and I will have to wait till fall 2024. I informed them that it is a safety issue and that it is effecting my job, because I am currently car less, I have to ask around to different family members to borrow their car, this is effect negatively to my livelihood; financially and mentally and Honda do not care. Now I will be out of a car for 9-10 months and I am still making payments for the car and car insurance. I also lost my job just yesterday because of this. You guys are my last option, I do not know what else I can do from my end, I need my car to be fixed so I can do support myself financially.
