FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My car will randomly brake. This has happened multiple times while driving on the interstate. I will be driving 76 mph and the emergency braking system will brake when there is nothing in front of me. It’s scary going from 75mph to slamming on the brakes. Happened probably 10 times since I bought the car 2 years ago. Several times almost caused the people in back of me to hit me

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

My engines lights and collision mitigation systems continue to light up and inoperative. This concerns me being that it’s been almost a year driving my car with this re call and nothing has been done for the where where it clearly states possible engine failure leading to accidents.

My vehicle head engine gasket blow while driving on the highway. I was on the far left side of the highway near brick side wall and had to find a way to get to the right shoulder of the highway while in coming car passed by. I’m just upset cause I kept telling Honda dealership something was wrong with my engine every time I went in for a oil change for the past 2 years and they ignored my concern and told me nothing was wrong. I just can’t believe Honda a trusted automotive company would have this type of issue without having a recall available for their customers. And I read into the issue and I’m not the only person with this issue. That’s not right at all. They need to do better

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
After a few weeks of owning my 2018 Honda accord-Sport driving along the road my car hesitated and acted as if it didn't want to continue driving. I had to pull over to the side of the road to turn the car completely off and back on for the car to regain energy (power) to drive. Every light on the dash is on from the check engine light, brake system, check emission system, road assistance, tire system and do not turn off. I had the fuel injectors cleaned because that was the code that came back for the issue and the car is storing the same code. It was a temporary fix because the lights have been on and off for a whole year now. I cannot get the issue fix because the parts have been on and off back order for the whole year I have owned this car. My car is running harder and hesitating a lot more and I do not get the same average milage on gas anymore. I normally fill up once a week and do the same amount of driving, but my gas is no longer lasting me the week it used to. The fuel injectors seem to be a common issue with these cars especially with the parts on back order for this long intensive time period. I am scared my car will not be drivable in the near future on the symptoms it is now displaying. My car is available at any time for an inspection. I'm very surprised this issue is not a recall on the hazard it is driving, and the car could hesitate or not proceed to go when in traffic which could lead to terrible safety hazards. Every light is on that could possibly be wrong on the dash. I have taken this vehicle to Honda dealerships and 3rd party mechanic shops.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving on [XXX] when my sunroof glass exploded. I was not around any other cars when this incident happened. Thankfully I had my sunroof visor closed. Had it not been for that; glass would have poured all over me and possibly caused me to have a bad wreck or worse; lose my life. I filed a claim that same day with my insurance company, only to get the run around and be told that they possibly won’t cover it due to they deeming it a mechanical failure. I was not operating the sunroof at all at the time of the incident so there was no mechanical failure. I had full insurance coverage at the time of the incident. I have sent in pictures and a full description to my insurance adjuster. The car itself has not been inspected by anyone other than myself. I would like this matter resolved immediately.

ENGINE
Engine overheated and turns out we have a blown head gasket. The problem escalated quickly from and "your engine may be warm" messages to "Do not drive!" messages. We tried to stop and cool it off when that message happened. To me the safety issue comes with the experience of needing to urgently find a place to stop while driving on a busy road (interstate for us) so the engine doesn't get much worse. Car is currently at a Honda dealer to assess the damage to the engine.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Honda has not had sufficient parts to complete the repair for recall# 23V-858 which was announced in December 2023 even though the recall mentions how potentially dangerous the issue is. Repeated calls to the dealership only result in being told to wait until Honda sends a second letter unless the fuel pump fails at which point the safety issue could have already occurred. They should at least offer an inspection of the vehicle to determine if any degradation has occurred even if they don’t have enough parts to perform the repair for everyone.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The car began having problems approximately 6 months ago. The problems would happen for a week and then stop occurring. The car slows completely down to 5 mph while on the highway, causing traffic to swerve to miss causing an accident. We have received a few letters stating that the fuel pump recall was active for our vehicle with a complete description of what was going on with our car. We got a letter stating that minimal fuel pumps are available, so contact your Honda dealership ONLY if your car is currently showing signs. We waited until it started showing signs again. This week it started again. We called and set up an appointment for July 3, 2024, but today the car lost power every time it was driven with near accidents occurring many times. The car was taken to the Columbia MO Honda dealership. They tried to charge $69 to look at the car after we told them about the recall. We refused to pay, they looked at the car and said it was several different things other than the recall, acting like they were unsure of the reason for the inoperable car. Nothing was fixed. We left the dealership, and the car will not go over 5 mph so it is parked 40 miles from our home. This car is the office of the owner, and this is very disheartening. We called the Honda Automobile Service Center and after hearing there was nothing they could do. I became upset telling them, “I guess I will need to get a lawyer or when the car causes a collision and death, I will be suing Honda.” She then offered to set up a case, but I would be added to a workload and who knows when we will get a call. She also said that when our July 3 appointment comes, they will still need to diagnose the car and order the part. We need a safe vehicle NOW. All warning lights come on when this occurs.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
my car has been severely malfunctioning due to the fuel pump recall. I have had to avoid several accidents due to the loss of power at high speeds, stalling, and sputtering. My car started experiencing these issues last December and I was told by Honda to take it in to be diagnosed (which I did), and then I was told there was no fix or parts at that time because it was due to a faulty fuel pump. I parked the car and I had to find rides to work until I was unable to, so I had to start back driving the vehicle. The issue became severe again about a week ago. My car completely stalled and would not accelerate at all at a traffic light. I proceeded to turn on my hazards and call for assistance while turning the car off. Eventually the car was able to be moved after about 20 mins of being powered off. Luckily, I wasn't far from my home, I turned on the hazards and slowly made it home and parked the car. I'm currently afraid to continue to drive the vehicle because of safety concerns for myself as well as other drivers on the road. My car stalls, shuts off, will not start back up, and sputters, and all of the lights on the dash are on. The first incident I was almost hit by another driver because of the loss of power. I have reached how to Honda several of times and had the car diagnosed and done everything I was asked to do but I am still being given the "run around" and they do not seem to be making this a priority matter. This is my only car, and it has been a major inconvenience for me as well as been very unsafe for me to operate my vehicle and I still do not feel they have any plans to resolve this matter anytime soon.
