FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I replaced my fuel injectors which seems to be a ginormous problem with these 1.5l engines. This was unfortunately only the start of my issues. My current issue is after replacing the fuel injectors my car was still hesitant when accelerating(jerking), stalling, rough idling and my only answer from anyone is my fuel pump/filter. Reading through these forums I am seeing this being another ginormous issue with this model. It’s a shame and so mind blowing Honda has not done anything about either issue. Stay safe my 1.5ers!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
This Honda Accord Sport SE has had electrical problems from the day I received the vehicle. Every time I went for an oil change at Bommarito Honda I mentioned it to them and they said “yeah the new Hondas do tend to hand a lot of those electrical problems” so with this the problems continued to get worse. Sometimes the buttons do not work, sometimes they do, sometimes the lights don’t work and sometimes they do and sometimes the safety features and break system automated itself. I have slammed my head on the steering wheel on multiple occasions. I believe this needs to be looked into because the malfunction of the car falsely reports danger and caused an accident. Yes every time it malfunctions it flashes briefly and so quickly on the screen .

ENGINE
Approximate date (around January 2026), location (e.g., Newburgh, NY area), and circumstances (e.g., during normal driving). No crash/injury mentioned in my case, but note if it stranded I, required towing, or felt unsafe (e.g., potential for sudden power loss). While driving, all dashboard warning lights came on suddenly. The vehicle experienced rough running/misfires. Dealer diagnosed low coolant, pressure tested the system, and confirmed coolant intrusion into cylinders 2 and 3 due to head gasket failure. This required full head gasket replacement (parts/labor ~$4,567 total before any goodwill). No external leaks noted initially. Concerned this could cause engine stall/overheat while driving, posing a safety risk.” Dashboard lights, possible misfire codes (if any DTCs like P0302/P0303 were pulled), low coolant without visible leaks. dealer diagnosis (Morehead Honda? from Eric Koller), repair done/recommended, cost, and that American Honda provided 35% goodwill (shows it’s out-of-warranty but recognized issue) Only 91000 miles on the vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact purchased the vehicle on October 27, 2025. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale by an individual who was a registered dealer. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 105,000. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to immediately start. Several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that there was exposure of red wiring on the underside of the vehicle, which could be a potential safety hazard. The dealer also informed the contact of an oil leak, a previous ABS replacement, a previous transmission replacement, and that the engine was not the original engine. The dealer also informed the contact that the mileage on the vehicle was not what had been documented at the time of sale and that the actual mileage was 205,000. The contact confirmed the actual mileage as 205,000 in a Carfax Report. The failures persisted. One morning, while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the flex plate had failed. The starter was replaced; however, the vehicle failed to start. The contact had spoken with the seller, who had taken possession of the vehicle but had not provided any additional repairs. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The odometer fraud was not reported to any other Government Agencies.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
City street driving speed < 35-40 mph, engine began rough idling at stop light after traveling just 1/8 mile. After driving less than 1 mile on level ground, engine slowed and would not accelerate above 20 mph. After another mile or so, increasing uphill grade caused speed to slow to 12-14 mph. Stepping on gas caused car to slow down even more, with shaking and jerky stop-start of vehicle. Maintaining 10-12 mph permitted vehicle to continue uphill climb for a few more miles so I could reach home. Downhill coasting was smooth with no gas pedal acceleration. Overnight parked in garage, and no problems driving vehicle to local independent auto mechanic. They were able to duplicate problem after 2 days and multiple test drives. Diagnosed permanent and temporary engine codes: misfires of cylinders 1 and 4 with ignition coil malfunction, misfires of cylinders 1, 2, 4, and random misfires. Also permanent codes: antilock brake ECM Failure, electric power steering vehicle stability assist System Malfunction, electric servo brake electric power train System Malfunction. Mechanic removed coils and spark plugs, found cylinder 4 has moisture. Coils, plugs cleaned and re-installed. Honda Dealer unable to duplicate problem after 3 days.

I wanted to report that this vehicle, according to Carfax, had 169,236 miles on August 15, 2025, and 9/4/25, and 85,326 miles on January 24, 2026. That's only 4 months! The odometer was tampered with, and this seller knew it was altered because it went through 5 different sellers in those 4 months. I don't know if their reports are true or false, which is why I'm writing to see if you can help me.

POWER TRAIN
Honda issued a recall for the protective coating for the driveshaft. Months prior to this recall, our axle failed. We paid for the replacement. Honda's recall letter clearly states that we can apply for reimbursement if we paid for the repair which we did. Honda refuses to reimburse us for the repair. The local Honda dealer has verified that we deserve reimubursement. And according to the Honda dealer, another Honda representative verified this. We are asking for $676.77, the cost of the repair. Honda's case # is 15782176.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The electrical system on my accord and yes it will be available. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle starts to not pick up speed and eventually kills. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? By the manufacturer (dealership) on multiple occasions, I was instructed to unplug the vehicle’s battery. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, about a year and a half ago.

AIR BAGS
The airbag was stolen from my 2025 Honda Accord SE without breaking the window. The door lock was broken easily and the airbag removed quickly. This is a serious safety and security concern. A person can steal a critical safety component without major damage. I am financially stressed because the vehicle is financed and I depend on it for work. I am concerned about the vehicle’s design security and safety.
