FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My fuel or engine is having issues. I took it in and they told me my fuel pump needed to be replaced and my injectors were bad. This is an active recall on some this car but not my VIN number... My car has stalled out many times while driving forcing me to pull over and restart my car. I think my VIN needs to be recalled also since this is clearly the same issue.

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the pieces holding the front and rear bumpers in place were constantly fracturing because the part was made of plastic. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, he heard abnormal rubbing and grinding sounds coming from the front of the vehicle. The contact continued to drive. Upon parking and inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the driver's side front bumper was detaching. The contact purchased rubbers and was able to reinstall the front bumper himself. However, the failure reoccurred several times. Additionally, the contact later became aware that the rear bumper had separated from the vehicle as there was no bumper on the rear of the vehicle. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 300,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Brakes- rear calipers wear uneven on the inside pad 5mm outer and 1mm on inner. This is a safety hazard because seeing the outer pad still was in specifications that I did not need to replace them just yet. Got my car completely inspected due to grinding noise and found that the inner pad was metal to metal ruined my rotor costing me more money as well as if I hadn’t gotten it inspected could have caused an accident. Headlights- new battery installed and headlights still flicker sometimes even completely turn off, I have to pull over and bang on the housing to get them to power back on. That is also a risk to my safety and others if they are to completely turn off again in the night time others won’t see me. Not the only time it has happened. I’ve ran recalls on my vin but dealer said there was no open recalls.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving on interstate behind line of trucks in construction zone at 55mph. It was raining lightly. When zone ended, I pulled into left lane and accelerated to 70 mph. A semi truck in right lane pulled in front of me, I braked to avoid hitting it. I got within 1-2 car length of semi and suddenly car braked on its own. Brakes fully locked up. I tried to accelerate after car slowed a lot (down 15-20 mph) and considerable distance opened up between us. Car would not allow me to regain ability to accelerate. Car brakes remained locked up until car slid to complete stop in left lane. Car then allowed me to again accelerate. Unknown if braking indicator activated. No trouble lights were illuminated. Almost hit by vehicle behind that had to maneuver to avoid. Have noticed other issues where brakes briefly automatically apply when passing large vehicle in right lane. This seems to be happening more frequently in past year.

ENGINE
Driving in moderate to heavy rain in Ozarks. Car in front. Accelerated hard (under turbo boost) and pulled in left lane to pass. As soon as I got next to car in right lane, my car automatically braked very hard. It then released brake. All kinds of warning lights went off, engine outline (misfire) light was on. Car was in some kind of limp mode. Slowed considerably. Could barely accelerate. Proceeded to drive in this mode at approximately 50 mph for one mile until spot to pull over. Pulled over and shut car off for 30 second. Restarted car and everything was normal. Returned home within one week (400 miles) Checked trouble codes, none present.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I had several incidents where Honda automatically brake without reason. I was driving 75mph and without reason it fully brake and bring my car to complete stop leaving cars to emergency brake. I recently had multiple occasions where it again brake automatically with nothing block in front of the car. The dashboard shows Lane Departure warning, but I am leaving my lane and it automatically brakes unexpectedly. This car must be recalled for safety of everyone on the road!!!

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY/WIPER
There is a recall for 2018 model Honda Accords. NHTSA Recall 18V-629 This specific complaint is for 2013-2017 models as well. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111 - Rear visibility. Due to a software error, the center display assembly that normally displays the rearview image may not provide the rearview image when the vehicle is reversing. Failure to display the rearview image may reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Based on my research the same software bug is affecting the earlier models as well As of today 5/3/2022 there is a youtube video titled "2013 2017 honda accord backup not working" 17,512 views Posted Dec 19, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omSIamlD2ok Due to the unique nature of this issue the view count of this video is significant. The only reason someone would find and view this video is because they also have this problem.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Certain roads on my commute have hills where automatic braking has engaged and almost caused accidents over past year. Also, vehicles crossing in front of me or changing lanes when I have full view, car has braked hard. These incidents have happened at least 8 times in past year. I shouldn't have to disengage safety in order to be safe.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
CMS - collision mitigation system stops working completely. 2 warning lamps on dash. Cruise control completely inoperative. Vehicle was initially inspected by dealer on 11/19/21with DTC U0401-92 - Temporary stop of integrated driver support system (rejected control request), also found U0416-68 VSA system malfunction. This issue happens every 1-3 thousand miles. Also with the CMS/braking system, it will alert "brake" on dash and brake hard if encountering repetitive shadows from objects that are cast onto the road. My safety and others safety were compromised due to hard braking and cars behind me that then had to brake, nearly rear-ending my car.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Hi. Just looking for information on how to go about with my car. A few months ago, i was driving within my city in the residential area, and while i was driving, my car quickly, like for 3 seconds, just lost power, there was no warning lights or anything that came on, it just felt like i accidentally touched the brakes real quick while driving, but i didn't. Fast forward to Friday. I was driving home from work on the Interstate. There was a big rig gas carrier truck next to me, and all of a sudden with my foot still on the gas my car felt like it was loosing power as if i was putting my foot on the brake, it was at least for 30 seconds as if it was about to come to a complete stop in the middle of the highway, im grateful there was no car behind me, because i really probably would have died getting hit from behind and probably hitting the gas tanker.. But when it did slow down my car swerved and I almost hit the big rig gas carrier truck, but i had to swerve back over into my lane, and about time i got back into my lane the power in the car picked back up (like nothing happened) and i was able to drive home but i just drove slow because i was scared. I almost died, it was scary, and now im afraid to drive my car. I shouldn't be having this problem my car is only 3 years old. I just got this car a few years ago brand new and still paying for it, and I'm trying to see how i can go about this, is it fixable? I have not taken it in to a dealer yet, but from looking it up on line there is a lawsuit going on from hondas in my year of this happening, that the Honda dealers don't know whats going on yet either.

POWER TRAIN
I recently learned of the NHTSA's complaint section and is the reason in the delay in reporting this incident: Front Driveshaft Breakage/Failure On May 1, 2014, the Front Left Driveshaft/CV Axle Broke on my 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 4-Door. This vehicle had 177,694 miles at the time of incident. The car was stopped at an intersection waiting to make a left-hand turn. After the traffic light turned green, the car just started rolling when the driveshaft snapped/broke. On May 2, 2014, this vehicle was towed, and my Auto Technician was stunned to see the axle/driveshaft had broken. He stated that driveshafts are, typically, made of hardened steel and should never break. He also mentioned that if this break would’ve occurred at expressway speeds (the majority of my driving is at expressway speeds), this would’ve been catastrophic. Clearly, this is a Major Safety Issue. This vehicle is still in service and currently has 315,000 miles. At the current mileage, I am quite concerned that the Replacement Honda Driveshaft (Front Left) and the Original Front Right Driveshaft may also break; quite possibly, at high speeds. A search of the various Honda Forums reveals that this breakage/failure is a common problem with Honda Driveshafts. Recently, Honda recalled some vehicles for this Driveshaft Breakage Problem. My vehicle was not included in the recall.

As I was driving on the highway out of nowhere the car jerked away from me. I was unable to maintain control again as it kept gearing itself to the left. The emergency brake didn’t come on at all and the car slide on the freeway and ended up flipping completely over the bridge to the other side injuring all passengers

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving on a two lane highway suburban area - 40 miles per hour in a 40 mph speed limit. No cars in front of me for at lease 1/2 mile - totally blank and clear road. A pick up truck behind me. Very little traffic. Suddenly without warning and knowing my foot is on the accelerator, the car brakes to a complete stop with no foot on the brake pedal! Complete random braking for no reason. Luckily the vehicle behind me was far enough and not too close which allowed him to swerve and avoid colliding into me. He passed me and probably thought I was crazy. I called Honda and they told me to bring it in which I did. They performed many tests in all areas and advised they could not locate anything wrong. I know there is an ongoing investigation with Honda Accords and dangerous random breaking, thus the reason for this incident to be documented. The general manager of the dealership was in touch with me and advised he would be doing some research. I could easily have been killed if not for quick thinking of the vehicle behind me, and also luckily no car in front of me. What do you advise? This is extremely disconcerting to know it could happen again.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Braking at intersections without car being present in front. Sometimes car in traffic driving toward intersection and car in right hand turn lane. When the car in turn turns at intersection away from my vehicle my vehicle slows or completely stops. It has done the same while making left hand turn in intersection with no car in oncoming lane.
