AIR BAGS
According to what I read in the news, Honda Accords 2001-2003 should be recalled for airbag repair. I think Honda may have neglected to recall my car when it should have. I have attempted to ask Honda about this and they are non-responsive.

SERVICE BRAKES
ABS Module is defective. Dashboard lights corresponding to ABS and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems continuously turn on and off. A quick online search proves that this is a very common issue on Honda Accords. This was also confirmed by Honda Dealer Service department and two independent mechanics. Honda needs to issue a recall for effected vehicles.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
2019 Honda Accord LX I purchased this car late September in 2022 from Mclarty Honda in Little Rock, Ar with less than 25,000 miles. To date the brakes have locked up multiple times on my way to work for no reason whatsoever and I have a witness to every time. I would be driving down hwy46 headed to Sheridan, Ar and the brakes would engage for no reason and completely stop my car in the middle of the road. Nothing would be in the road for it to sense/detect or whatever to even need to apply the brakes. I recorded a video of the brakes smoking like my car was on fire just yesterday morning when i got to work. I’ve called the dealership multiple times and they have no response or reason for why my car is doing this, I have even scheduled it to be repaired two times and the dealership hasn’t been able to fix the problem and it pisses me off they are even able to sell such a piece of shit vehicle. The dealership along with honda should be held accountable, apparently they have known about this issue since 2015 and yet to do anything to correct the issue just swept it under the rug and left the consumer to deal with their problems. Whats even worse is Congress has made it a law that new vehicles are required to have this worthless piece of technology installed on each vehicle, smh like they have any clue what the American people want or need lol and why is it taking so long for NHSTA to get a response from Honda? This is ridiculous and the people who are in charge need to get off their butt and get something done for the people instead of their pocketbook. Real talk

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2018 Honda Accord 1.5 with 56k miles: while driving on the freeway, all the warning lights came on and jerked. Pulled over for a safety measure and turned engine off and turned it back on. Error code did not clear. My first initial thought was a file injector issue. Took it to the shop, After diagnosis, they said it was a misfiring (I’m like ok) they replaced coil and spark plug. After 1-2 months, tissue had came back. I checked a error code and it was another misfire. After a thorough search, looks like Honda has been having issues with fuel injectors but is not acknowledging the problem. They keep getting a misfire code on cylinder 4, but after checking the coil and spark plugs they said nothing is wrong.

STEERING
While in traffic and driving around 40 miles per hour, my 2013 Accord suddenly took a sharp turn to the left. I was able to fight the steering and control the Accord to a stop. The steering was very difficult to manage. The vehicle was not safely under my control, putting the people in the car at risk for an accident, as well as those in near-by vehicles. I have always maintained this car at the Honda dealership. There were no indications of problems with the steering previously (no warning lights, no suggestion by Honda service that an issue existed, etc.). Prior to this sudden failure, the steering worked perfectly. The Honda dealership service department diagnosed the issue as failed steering. Over the next 24 hours they replaced the rack (since we were traveling this necessitated an extra days stay). No one else has inspected this car.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL INJECTORS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND STALL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. OUR SAFETY WAS PUT AT RISK DUE THE LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE SECOND REPORTED INCIDENT, THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, ONLY THE REPAIRING DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED AS THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER.

AIR BAGS
The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle drove over a pothole, causing the driver's side air bag to deploy. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that he needed to pay out-of-pocket for the air bag replacement. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was driving on the highway going about 70mph and the automatic brake/ collision prevention went off and tried to stop my car for seemingly no reason. There were no cars or objects in front of me. The orange break alert flashed in the dash and car slowed abruptly. Thankfully no one was behind me. The only thing I can think of was the shadows on the road. This is the third time an event like this has happened to me. I made the dealership aware this happened after the second time and I was told i just wasn't use to the safety features. I have owned this car for a year now and am beyond use to the safety features, this is flat out unsafe and seriously concerns me. I do really like this car otherwise but I drive a lot for work and if it happens again, I am going to seriously consider selling it. Honda needs to fix this.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The in dash stereo system with Bluetooth makes loud static noises, regardless of whether the stereo system is on or off. The static noise is extremely loud and unpleasant, and should be considered a safety hazard. The only way to make it stop is to pull the fuse for the head unit. Pulling the fuse makes the infotainment system turn off, which means I can no longer have access to backup camera or the trip computer.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I saw the investigation of hat the NTSB is opening into problems with the CRV and a handful of other vehicles. I think you should add the Honda accord hybrid (touring) to this investigation. I was driving on a road with speed limit of 55 mph. In full evening traffic. My check engine light flashed on, and I immediately called the dealership to set an appointment. Within one minute of that light coming on, I lost all acceleration power, it just dropped off in the middle of the high flow of fast traffic with no shoulder. I had to find a way to force people to let me over going less than 5 mph to get to a safe shoulder. Then my car just stopped. I was on the phone with the service department at Honda when this happened and they were like, yeah sometimes that just happens. You get to the side of the road within a minute or it will shut off while driving. They made it seem like it was a super common and well known problem. That is ridiculously dangerous. I mean, ridiculously dangerous. I was absolutely terrified I would be slammed by a car on the highway. I got my car to the dealership for a full diagnostic, that they tried to charge me for, but they didn’t find anything. And they said it was probably nothing because they had no proof it happened. That is about it, nothing too terrible, but that has way more potential problems than my scary incident alone. Thank you.

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
One day all the car warning lights came on. After I backed out of the driveway, I placed the car in drive and tried to accelerate. When I stepped on the gas pedal the car barely accelerated. It barely moved. I turned of the engine and turned it back on again and the car was ok again, but this keeps happening from time to time. I've had the car checked a few times, but mechanics weren't sure what's wrong with the car. They keep getting a misfire code on number one, but after checking the spark plugs they said nothing is wrong with the spark plugs.

SERVICE BRAKES
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, several warning lights indicating brake failure was illuminated.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The stationary window on the back passenger side shattered while the car was parked in the driveway on a very hot day. There did not appear to be any single point of contact. The glass was uniformly shattered. First off—I took the car to the dealer and they didnt even bother to look at it and said I would have to file a claim with Honda which I did. Then the dealer said the window must have been struck by a rock by looking at a few pictures that I submitted and Honda customer representative ghosted me and wouldn’t answer when I called or return VMs. There were fine glass splinters on the inside of the car from the window which would be a safety issue.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
On the morning of Nov 1, 2022, I was driving on an open rural highway in cool, clear weather with no other vehicles on the road. Suddenly I heard an explosive crashing sound followed immediately by the sound of broken glass falling. I was afraid to stop right there because a few years ago, there were several vehicles hit by rifle fire not far from me in northern Colorado. As I drove, I felt a little air flow, as if a back window was partly open. When I came to a parking lot for a hiking trailhead, there were other vehicles in the lot and I felt safe to pull over. Examination showed that the sunroof on my car had shattered. Luckily, I had the sunscreen closed, or I would have gotten a face full of broken glass while traveling 55 mph. I reported to the sheriff. We tried to imagine what could have happened. I actually wondered if a random piece of meteorite had fallen from the sky, but there was no foreign object along with the broken glass. I filed an insurance claim. The damage has been repaired. I was not injured, but certainly shaken up because of the close call. Later I learned that other sunroofs have shattered spontaneously. I believe there should be a safety recall.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Hello, I turned my car on and saw the engine emissions system warning, which I’ve never seen before. I thought the cold front or sudden temperature change in my city had something to do with it & it would go away because my car is well maintained(all services done at Honda dealership). I was driving on the freeway about 75 mph and all of a sudden my car stops accelerating. I floored the gas pedal but it was only going about 30 mph(felt weak or like it was operating on battery only) this is when the “engine cooling system problem” and “engine temperature too hot” warnings started flashing. The car behind me almost hit me, other cars were passing & honking at me, I was holding up traffic so I got in the emergency lane. While in the emergency lane I had to turn my car on an off about 6 times for it to work normally for about 5/10 minutes before it would start stalling or the acceleration would stop working(this would happen when the coolant warning started flashing) until I got home. I was confused on why the car wasn’t accelerating like normal because I had more than half a gas tank left & my coolant has been replaced. The next day I turn on my car and it’s perfectly normal-no warnings. I took it to the Honda services and showed them the video I took of the warnings because I was scared and felt unsafe driving it, but they told me to bring it back when the warning lights turn back on the dashboard. It was Normal for about a week, then the warning lights popped back up and it would start stalling/not accelerate again. I constantly had to turn my car off and on driving to Honda services. They told me nothing is wrong with the coolant, they did a diagnostic test on it and said it’s the Computer module/electrical interference causing the warning lights/pumps not to not work. I believe it’s the hybrid propulsion system recall 15V602000, I have a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid but my VIN is not recalled? Is there anyway to add my vin to the recall? Please and thank you.

STEERING
I put in a complaint before and the problem still persists. I’ve been to Honda over 10 times and they claim they cannot recreate it which is just a tactic to not repair the issue. Seems A LOT of other Honda owners are having this issue which is the gear box. There are multiple years affected including 2018-2020. The steering wheel sticks while trying to drive straight. No issues with turns. The steering wheel will hold in the straight position and when trying to drive straight and ease with the road the wheel will not turn even the slightest without some force which causes you to overcorrect. It is VERY dangerous and I don’t know why Honda is not recalling the problem parts. I bought my car new and never had an issue until the second month I drove the car. 3 years later and over 10 visits to Honda and it’s still happening. Please PUSH Honda to fix this issue ASAP!!!!
