STEERING
Power steering randomly goes out while the vehicle is in motion, sometimes on the interstate at high speed. Honda has "fixed" this 4 times and still has issues. Turning the car off and back on temporarily resolves the issue.

STEERING, WHEELS
2016 Honda Accord - sedan (48,000 miles) is pulling to the right. (Hands Free) at the count of 3, the vehicle is off the road (Scary!). Took to Honda dealer for service. Wheel alignment was done. Expensive Continental tires (2 years olds) were moved from front to the back. I returned to the dealer once I left the service center because it seemed even worse. The Advisor took it for a test drive and said it was because I was on a hill/slope. A few days later, I test drove the car with a friend who said for certain I have a problem. I have an appointment to go back to the Honda service center again. I do not know if this is a alignment problem? or bad tires? There is a Solution to every Problem. Find the Answer.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Vehicle tends to turn on brake warning light when there is nothing in the way. Driving with no obstacle in the way and the brake warning sign will display on dashboard. I’ve driven it on the highway with no cars and it will signal me to brake for no reason. I’m afraid the brakes might apply which could cause a serious accident.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
For the past 3 years my car has started breaking on it’s own when there is no reason to. There are no cars or anything in front of me. It has been doing the breaking on it’s own more often and now is worrying me more. It once breaked me when i was on the interstate going 75! And other times when I’m in heavy traffic. I need something to be done about this. I don’t want to have my kids with me when this happens again and it causes an accident..I don’t need my car to cause an accident at all. Please let me know what will be done about this problem with my car. I can’t afford shop fees to get my car looked at. I am asking if this problem can please be fixed. Thank you. Have a good day.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
Car occasionally experiences unintended acceleration. This happening today 9/4/2022. Car was brought to a complete stop. It suddenly accelerated while the foot was still on the brake, causing it to rear-end the car in front. Thankfully there no physical injuries reported (yet) We had experienced this a couple of time before. I had contact Honda as well as the local dealer and they cleared the car with no changes.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Vehicle flashed "brake" on the dashboard and automatically engaged brakes despite nothing being ahead in the road. This occurred on a clear, sunny day around late morning on the interstate. Similar issues have occurred previously where the car flashed the "brake" warning light despite nothing being immediately ahead in the road. With this other incident the brakes were not engaged. This time the brakes engaged, then released, and the car continued. Later on that same trip, the "brake" warning would again flash despite no objects being immediately ahead in the road. The vehicle arbitrarily braking without warning or reason is extremely dangerous as it may cause vehicles behind including much larger trucks to slam into the car. The Honda dealer and Honda customer service were both contacted when the car on a previous occasion flashed "brake" despite no obstructions but neither has returned my messages.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On 5/10/22, at approximately 43K miles, while driving my Accord on the interstate in a construction zone, the car lost engine power. Multiple warnings were displayed and lights flashed on the dash. I coasted and was fortunately able to find and safely pull into the berm, while vehicles sped by at 65-mph. From the berm, I attempted to accelerate but the car would not exceed 5-10 mph, and rumbled horribly. For over an hour, I sat and waited for a tow and had it towed to the nearest Honda dealer. Service began the afternoon of 5/10. Near closing time, they determined that the issue was the low pressure fuel pump. Remarkably, my VIN was not included in the 2020 Accord Fuel Pump Recall. Makes you wonder. Service would be completed on 5/11 (one night spent in hotel). On 5/11, the low pressure fuel pump was replaced. By day's end, there were still problems (night two in a hotel). Around noon on 5/12, and after what they described as many phone calls with Honda engineers, they determined the high pressure fuel pump needed replacement. I rented a car and drove home. They replaced the high pressure fuel pump and by 5:00 PM on 5/13 called and said the car was ready for pick up. Total cost for fuel pumps and labor was $1,100, which was mostly and finally compensated after hours of debate with Honda Customer Service. Lost were tow cost, 3-days of work, 2-hotel nights and the cost of the rental car. What good are warning lights when they all seem to illuminate at once? What good are safety messages when they all you to see a dealer? What good is any of this when your car loses power and you are stranded on a busy interstate?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On 9/1/22, 8,600 miles after losing all power on the interstate, being stranded and having the car towed to the nearest dealer, paying for the tow, spending 2-nights in a hotel, renting a car to get home and having both the high pressure and low pressure fuel pumps replaced, my 2022 Honda Accord had yet another problem. After starting the car in a parking lot, 8-warning lights flashed and 9-12 warning messages were displayed. Since a very familiar situation happened 8,600 miles ago, I was very hesitant to drive anywhere, however, in the situation before, the car would not accelerate. In this instance, it would. I drove 10-miles to the nearest Honda dealer avoiding interstates. The dealer did a quick computer scan. The fault code (among others) was a P0172, "Fuel Mixture Too Rich". The tech said the problem is most likely fuel injector related. He assured me that it would be safe to drive another 30-miles to a dealer closer to my residence. I made it to the dealer safely and it turns out that the fuel injectors need replacing. Total cost will be $1,800. Could the fuel pump issues damaged the injectors? As mentioned in my prior complaint, what good are warning lights when 8-illuminate at once. What good are safety messages when they all tell you to see a dealer? How are owners supposed to understand the gravity of a malfunction?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automatic braking system malfunctioned and started to brake for no reason, with no car in front and/or no other safety risk. Luckily there was no car behind me which most likely would have resulted in a rear end collision; which put myself and other at risk. The warning lamp on my dash was flashing brake as the vehicle was braking. I am afraid to drive the car due to safety concerns.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
the steering wheel shakes extremely when using the brake. especially at 60 to 65 miles on curves it's awful. (2) throttle is slow to react as if losing power. Apart from small climbs when I stop and release the brake the drive tends to go backwards as if it were a car with a manual transmission. Honda Dealer from downy. Can’t find the problem.

ENGINE
I have a 2010 Accord coupe I notice ac/heat vent problems and a leak in the coolant inside the passenger floor/console area. So I researched it and saw this Manufacturer Communication ID: 10120775 says: In this service bulletin, Honda alerted dealerships that the driver’s side vent may produce a lower level of heat than what is coming from the front passenger’s vent. The most common cause is that the car’s heater core is partially clogged. When this happens, it can cause the heater's performance to fail. The company instructed dealerships that encounter this problem to flush the heater core to resolve it. No recall has been issued, but dealerships should know how to handle this problem. I will reach out to Honda dealerships in my area to see what happens.

ENGINE
Factory specification states engine capacity for engine oil is 4.4 quarts, but after replacing the oil 3 times in the 10 months I have owned the car, I have noticed the actual capacity is 5.2 quarts. At 4.4 quarts, dip stick indicates oil at below lowest mark, at 5.2 quarts, it shows right at upper mark. I have google search this fact and there are many other owners or mechanics that have stated this fact. This has caused VTC actuator to be deficient of oil lubricant and rattle loudly and eventually fail. Over all oil deficiency will cause engine to fail prematurely.

PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken for an alignment. While performing the alignment, the parking brake activated independently. After the service was completed, the contact disengaged the parking brake and noticed that the vehicle seemed a bit more difficult than normal to steer. The contact pulled over, stopped, and became aware that the rear rotors were overheated and turning red. The contact stated that the parking brake was still activated even though the instrument panel had indicated that the parking brake was disengaged. The contact turned off the vehicle until the vehicle had cooled off and then returned home with the vehicle. Once the contact was home and the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the parking brake was still engaged even after disengaging the parking brake. The contact stated that the brakes were still overheated. The contact also noticed that the brake pads had started to fracture from the overheating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Without driver intervention, the vehicle engaged the brakes. Threw both passengers forward until the seat belt restraints engaged. Bruising both passengers shoulders. The vehicle would not respond to either pedal - brake or gas for a few seconds. There was no visible traffic in front of us. The day was clear. And no construction or overpasses. The vehicle was taken into a certified Honda dealer and inspected. No “flags” or diagnostic issues found. The car was driven by the dealer. The issue wouldn’t reproduce. The dealer stated that they did find a large “smashed” bug on one sensor and wondered if it could have caused the issue. Prior to the vehicle initiating the panic stop, no indications of a event were posted on any device in the vehicle

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The rear doors will not lock/unlock when using the keyless remote. I have replaced the rear doors actuators in June 2022 because the rear doors would not lock/unlock unless I manually locked/unlocked the doors which is a pain. Now not even two months later I am having the same issue with the front passenger door. This is not a cheap repair and there is too many complaints about this very issue not just occurring with the Accord.
