I have a 2016 Honda Accord EX -L. V6 .it has 100500 miles .In that time it has gone through 3 starters.Honda has issued a service bulletin( 16-002) but never a recall.Checking the internet there a lot of people having the same problem.I have filed a complaint with Honda motor and they want to split the cost of repair. I don’t think that’s fair because it is a known problem because of a design flaw

Within 15k miles the cars wheel bearing completely went and needed to be replaced. The steering in my opinion hasn’t been the same since. I’ve had it in the shop 3-4 different times in relation to the wheels/steering. The car will also randomly brake as if it’s going to hit something when forward collision assistance is on. It’s nearly got me rear ended 3 times. The original dealership I took it too since I was out of town put that something was hit when in truth i never said that and it was actually the tow trucks wench that damaged the dust shield.

Power steering failure, complete power steering rack replacement by Honda Dealership. Symptoms identical to Honda Warranty Extension 5Z2, Service Bulletin #15-056. Dealer confirmed no damage to power steering rack. Vehicle did not throw DCT 53-01 or 53-012 so Honda and Dealer refused to repair under warranty extension, forcing customer to pay out of pocket. This is the subject of an ongoing NHTSA investigation which began May 2021. The consumer stated that the issue occurred all the time and varying in seriousness. Once repaired, the issue did not occur.

For wheels tpms system warning keeps turning on stating I have low tire pressure. I would check tire pressure and it is normal 33-34psi which is the recommended tire pressure by Honda. I would recalibrate the tpms and it would turn back on after driving 20 miles. I do this daily and honda dealers claim there is no issue. When I turn on a curving road if there are cars parked on the street the emergency brake system would turn on and start braking.

AEB was applied three times without need since I have owned the car (purchased used in May 2022). All three times were not warranted and I was nearly rear ended once. First time occurred while merging onto a highway. The AEB system appeared to confuse the concrete dividing wall (which ends at the merge point) and braked unexpectedly. I was nearly rear ended. Second instance occurred while traveling at highway speed on a two lane freeway. I was in the left lane and a vehicle in the right lane began to slowly approach the dividing line (never crossed) and the AEB system activated. Third instance occurred when changing lanes on a two lane highway (right lane to left lane). Car braked suddenly for no reason. It appeared to confuse a large black patch (fresh road repair) in the middle of the road with an obstruction. No other cars were present.

I had taken my vehicle in to dealership on multiple occasions for the vehicle stating “road departure mitigation system problem” multiple times and every time I was told there wasn’t an issue. Eventually the system completely stopped working and the dealership wanted to charge me over $3,000 because I was about 5,000 miles over warranty. I never fixed it. 2 years it hasn’t worked until one day my car randomly braked on its own as the system just started working out of no where almost causing an accident. Thankfully no one hit me from behind. But then it yet again isn’t working. Seems a default that continues to happen. And I’m worried it will happen again with my child in the back and someone slamming into me due to a system issue on the vehicle. I also included other errors that have occurred with this same issue but it goes away and didn’t happen as often as the collision mitigation issue. I put 2 months ago because that’s when the car randomly braked on me while driving on a busy road and that system is suppose to be “out” not working at all. But this all happened over 2 years ago when it went out and dealer said I didn’t need it for my vehicle to work correctly. dealership has all paperwork for everytime I took in the vehicle to have it looked at for this

2016 Honda Accord EX-L coupe radio display panel went blank, including screen above main panel. There appears to be no power to panel, cameras thus I can not turn on radio, use Map which at times can be critical and all panel features are unavailable due to dead panel. The safety lane changing camera and back up camera do not work. Not sure what caused this. Fuses appear ok.

[XXX] vehicle has stalled in the middle of the highway 2 times, and would shut off mid drive. both times the car would shut off, start loosing speed and go into limp mode, and then stop. when trying to turn the car on, the whole dash board would light up with different errors, RDM problem, TPMS, CMBS, engine system error, electric power steering, Adaptive cruise etc. I have taken the vehicle 3 weeks prior to the latest incident to a local dealer, DEAN HONDA (911 Clairton Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15236), and they said they couldn't find the issue or cause. i have video and picture evidence of problem. looking at the vehicle model, 2019 Honda accord, there are 3 recalls which describe my issue, but when entering the vin number says that my specific vehicle does not have any recalls. this is very dangerous, not only for the occupants of the vehicle, but also other vehicles driving on the road, as i was in a close call 2 times already while driving the vehicle, and the dealer, and HONDA are not doing anything to prevent the issue from reoccurring. thank you email address for contact is [XXX] Sincerely, [XXX] files included, also a quick link for the files, with larger video quality https://photos.app.goo.gl/TeAVX54tLrPJcT1p7 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Hello, I am writing to you about my 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid. This vehicle make and model had over 600,000 safety recalls for the Denso fuel pump. When I Input the vehicle on Honda for recall info, nothing shows up. I took it to a local Honda dealer but they did not check the fuel pump instead told me it was other issues. I was driving my vehicle on the freeway after my first Honda visit and my vehicle suddenly lost power and the check engine light started flashing ( I have videos of this if needed). There was a truck behind me and I almost got hit by the truck which was a significant issue to my safety. I also started to smell gas. These are all signs of a bad fuel pump. I understand that my vehicle does not pop up on the recall with the VIN number but being it the same make and model with similar symptoms, I would like to see what NHTSA can do to inform me of the recall as my vehicle possibly might have a bad fuel pump ( which should be covered under this recall).

VSA modulator seems to be a defective part in many Hondas and Honda is not doing anything about it. It is a safety issue the should be taken care by Honda. My car has only 100K miles and is needing this repair that is going to cost me over $2000! Not fair for a consumer.
