FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Many times since I have purchased my 2018 Accord Touring 1.5T - I have found that sometimes my car will slam on the brakes when doing a lane change. I kind of found that It will do this if I dont have my turn signal indicator on. It is extremely stressful when it does this on the Interstate doing 65 or 70 MPH's. I try to slam the accelerator to the floor when this happens for fear of getting hit from behind. If this normal or a safety defect?

STEERING
Steering is pulling to the left, mechanic inspected tires, suspension, and rack and pinion. No visible damage. Mechanic ran codes-no codes were displayed. Vehicle has EPS. Contacted dealer requested inspection and was given an appointment in 8 days. I believe other 2013 Honda Accords have experienced this problem. I am widowed so I have no options for alternate drivier, I will continue to drive until dealership can inspect. Not happy that the dealership could not look at this issue sooner, it is not like I need an oil change. The consumer stated that there were no further issues after repair.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The car is stalling on the highway out of nowhere. Car won’t start back up for about 20 minutes. Car completely shuts off during traffic. Almost caused a big wreck with an 18 wheeler because I was unable to move the car out the middle lane because it shut off. Causing false codes to pop up. Very dangerous situation with my three small children in the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
6/24/2022 I was driving my 2015 Honda Accord with 65k miles when the car had no power, unable to accelerate, and limited steering. The following warning lights went on : Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Vehicle Stability System Indicator, Electric Power Steering System Indicstor, and Low Tire Pressure indicator (new tires last week). I let the car sit for awhile and restarted it with the same warnings showing. Very scary and unsafe to suddenly lose power and steering. I had just returned from a trip on a mountain road and busy highway which could have had deadly results. My car is a 2015 with 65 thousand miles on it- how does something this dangerous occur?

The auto is hard to steer. I have not had an incident yet but it is increasingly hard to steer. I received a questionnaire a out this issue earlier this year. Auto steering was fine at that time. That is no longer the case.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was driving on a local urban street, probably 20 mph, when car suddenly braked hard for no reason. My foot was not on the brake at the time, and there was not a car or potential collision in front of me to trigger this. I reported the problem to the dealer, and they performed a software update. They weren't able to tell me if it was a general update or one specific to this problem.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I had owned a 2018 Honda Accord which I had purchased in 2019. I had owned the car for about 6 months when the situation occurred. I had been about 30-50 before a railroad track and had already slowed down to 30-35 mph at this point. My dash lit up with the word 'brake' and the brakes went on automatically. There was nothing in front of me but the approaching train track which shouldn't set off the sensing function. I had a truck behind me which thankfully didn't hit me although he did blare his horn at me due to the unexpected braking. I went home and started looking online to see if other honda owners had similar experiences. There were stories from driving down the freeway going 70+ mph and having the same issue with nothing in front of them and coming to a complete stop to people having accidents because of the braking issues, etc. The next day, I called Honda and they stated that they were aware of the issues but were not planning on issuing a recall. I called the dealership and spoke to the manager and stated that I was going to return the car that day. He asked if they could check out the brake situation and I stated if Honda knows of the issue but is not planning a recall, then what is the mechanic at the dealership going to fix? I declined his offer and returned the car that evening. When I got to the dealership, the manager wouldn't even come and face me, which was another issue. I sunk money into a faulty car that I will never see back. I went to a different dealership and bought a different brand of car. To this day, if I see another Honda in front of me while driving, I let off of the gas because knowing the braking issue that I had, I don't want to be involved in an accident if they other Honda driver has braking issues.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Had a strong smell of gasoline coming from engine compartment. Took to dealership, they reported I had a ruptured fuel line. Took 1 1/2 months to get new fuel line. Honda would not take responsibility for poorly manufactured part. Got car repaired, cost $500 and on my way. My question is, will the new fuel line have the same problem? Very dangerous to catch fire. A lot disappointed in Honda for the treatment I got. The car only had 24,000 miles on it. Thank you!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My car was purchased new in December 2018. It now has 119,231 miles on it. My problem is that my headlight warning lamps go on the minute I start my car, because moisture has somehow gotten into both headlight assemblies, which causes my headlights to stop working intermittently. I took my car to Keeler Honda in Latham New York to get it fixed, and they gave me a quote to replace two headlights in the amount of $3174.23. My car has never been hit nor has it ever been in an accident. And now I need to replace two headlights and I can’t believe how much money it’s going to cost me. I believe I have defective headlights, and although my car may be out of warranty, I think this is a design issue, and the cost to replace two headlights is unreasonable. I have attached pictures of the right and left front headlights, a picture of my dashboard warning light that comes on when I start my car, and a copy of the estimate I received from Keeler Honda in Latham New York for $3174.23. Just for the headlights alone, the cost is 2624.04. Who has that kind of money to replace 2 headlights? I wonder if I’m the only one with this issue. This is a serious SAFETY HAZARD when I’m on the road and my headlights turn off at night. What can I do? Thank you, Mark Febbie

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The vehicle gave me a warning for the emergency breaking and began to aggressively brake for no reason. This has happened to me three separate times. Case 1: There were no cars in front of me, a few cars behind but not too close. The vehicle slammed on the breaks from ~50mph to ~25mph aggressively. Thankfully I was not hit, only received a few angry honks from other drivers. Case 2: Driving on the highway at 60-65mph, vehicle slowed down to 30-35mph or so, i was afraid i was going to end up in the hospital if i caused a wreck. Cars were around in other lanes and nobody was in front of me in the 2nd lane. I got off the highway to take a few deep breaths, called the Honda Dealership in Ferndale, Michigan. Dropped my car off a few times to get it looked at, the service department was "unable to duplicate the event" and sent me on my way. I work in front camera modules/windshields releasing at another automotive company so i have experience with this item. I asked for my case to be forwarded to an engineer at honda to help explain the situation and to be connected to them, no luck. Case 3 similar to case 1, but a busier road. Distance was kept from vehicle in front, but my vehicle still decided to "break-check" the car behind me. This was a close one. Now, I typically drive the vehicle with the auto braking feature off (it may not be completely off but i turned it off from the steering wheel menu options). I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L 2.0t. All these cases happened around 28,000miles-40,000miles (two of three cases under warranty, vehicle was taken in 2-3 times during warranty and the last time the dearlership didn't even consider trying to find out the issue once they saw my history of already bringing it in). The front camera module camera void on the windshield was clean and clear 3of3 times, the grille had some dirt/residue 1of3 times which is what the dealership blamed it on. I have received no support for my claims, hence I am reporting it here. Disappointed...

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Hi there! I have reported this a couple of times to Honda directly, so it's possible they've already fixed it, but my father pointed out that I should let you guys know as well since it could be a serious safety issue... Basically, the feature shown on the Honda dashboard that "reads" speed limit signs is (or at least was earlier this year) very buggy; e.g. I've encountered instances where it indicates a speed limit of 60mph in 20mph, or even 100mph in a 60mph zone; apparently it's often getting those numbers from unrelated highway signs and not speed limit signs. As far as I can tell this feature should be disabled until it can made much more reliable; otherwise I'm worried it could cause a dangerous accident.
