UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When driving and removing foot from the acceleration pedal, allowing my car to slow without hitting my brake, I have noticed a loud humming/vibration around the 40 mph speed. It is very dangerous because it distracts my driving. I have tried powering off radio and ac/heater, rolling windows down and opening sunroof. Nothing seems to stop the noise.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was using the cruise control feature while driving and it gave multiple errors. It happens each time I use the cruise control feature and assisted driving feature. The errors it gives are: 1. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem. See Your Dealer. 2.Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem. See Your Dealer. 3. Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem. See Your Dealer. I have also been driving and it breaks by itself and there is nothing in from of the vehicle. It was an orange flat plate on the road for construction. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer but they say it’s all normal.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While I was driving down Highway 101 near Mountain View near the Shoreline off-ramp, the vehicle's CBMS activated at highway speed even though there was no car in front of me. The weather was cloudy but visibility was good. The vehicle displayed "BRAKE" together with a warning sound, and the car suddenly decelerated. Luckily there was no car behind me, since the sudden braking could have easily caused an accident. I can confirm that this is repeatable -- on three occasions, the CBMS engaged at the exact same place where there was some surface imperfection in the road (due to recent asphalt patching). I had to step on the accelerator immediately to ensure the car behind me didn't rear end my car. I've read reports about the Honda Accord 2018 having this potential defect and wanted to make sure this report is filed, especially because it is repeatable. For now I've had to disable the vehicle CBMS to prevent an accident from occurring.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My automatic braking system is activating sporadically with no apparent object in front of me. My car has suddenly come to a complete stop while driving on Market Street, York PA when there was no traffic in front or to the side of me and luckily no one behind me. The "BRAKE" alert flashed and the car literally screeched to a stop. This happened again when I was in Stewartstown, PA and was starting to go over railroad tracks, it suddenly stopped. Again, no one was in front of me or behind me. I routinely drive I-83 from York to Harrisburg 3 days a week to go to work. If this would happen to me on I-83, this would cause a serious accident. I contacted Apple Honda and was told the system is just really "touchy" and there is no fix. The person I spoke with said a leaf blowing across the road could trigger the system. I have to deactivate the anti-collision feature whenever I drive. This is a serious issue that has been around for several years according to researching the issue and Honda refuses to fix this.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My 2018 Honda Accord Ex-L 91,560 miles has an issue with the fuel pump/injectors while driving on the roadway and/or highway. My vehicle will come to a mid stop abruptly because it is not getting enough power to the engine from the fuel pump. This has caused safety issue to myself, passengers in my vehicle, pedestrians and and other drivers while operating my vehicle. Honda has been made aware of this issue and has over 650,000 vehicles manufactured between 2018-2020 with the same reported issue and has previously issued a recall for only certain 2018-2020 vehicles. Furthermore, Honda refuses to repair my 2018 vehicle under the recall for the same issue based on my VIN#. I have notified Honda of the inherent danger to myself and others and they have ignored the safety hazard and refuse to repair the fuel pump which typically has a life span of 250,000 miles or more.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Two cylinders began misfiring on the same day due to fuel injectors. Dealership inspected the injectors and confirmed they needed to be replaced. Under 60k miles on the vehicle. This caused a check engine light as well as 8 other error messages to show on the dash. Exhaust system error message was seen. Brake system light and ABS light turned on due to the fault in the exhaust system. Unclear if the systems are still working as intended. There were no prior warnings or issues until these dash lights turned on. Fuel injector issues causing engine misfire is dangerous at high speeds and can cause further damage to the vehicle.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After getting my car service the service dept. said my brake were ok, two months later my rear driver side brake pads were worn to the metal and my brake caliper needs to be replace along with that brake rotor, I complained I was just in here two months ago and you said they were ok and I asked why just one brake pad wore out they had no answer , I asked will my extended warranty will cover it and they said it would not be covered because it's normal wear and tear. also, all my Warning lights, will come on every once in a while, but by the time i go to the dealer they would cut off so now i just wait to the next day and turn the car off and on until the light go off, when i tell the dealer and show pictures of all the warning lights they say they cannot do anything until they see it themselves.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
ALL dashboard warning lights come on and after doing a Google search, it appears to be a COMMON ISSUE for Honda Accords for 2018 and newer. They will come on and either stay on for days/weeks at a time and then just go off on their own. Every time I schedule to have it serviced and run a diagnostic test, by the time I get to the service center, the lights have gone off and they are unable to run a diagnostic without the warning lights being on. Only was able to get a diagnostic once as Honda doesn't run diagnostics on weekends and I work during the week. The warnings that show up in my HondaLink are: *Engine System Problem *Electric Power Steering Problem *CMBS Problem *Adaptive Cruise Control Problem *CMBS Problem My car is regularly service at the Honda dealership and currently has less than 48,000 miles. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON RANDOMLY How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? IT SAYS VEHICLE MAY ROLL UPON BRAKE RELEASE, COLLICION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM - REDUCED TRACTION AND HANDLING, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND ALL SAY "SEE YOUR DEALER" Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? YES, BUT THEY HAD NO REAL SOLUTION (Not the location where I purchased my vehicle - only offered to do what wasn't covered under my warranty so that the "tech can get paid" (NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO TO STONECREST HONDA IN LITHONIA, GA) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? INSPECTED/DIAGNOSTIC RAN AT AUTOZONE Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO WARNINGS - JUST ALL LIGHTS COME ON

SERVICE BRAKES
My 2018 Accord had 22628 miles on it. I brought in for an oil change and tire rotation at my local dealer, Klein Honda in Everett Washington on 12/28/22. They performed the service and they gave the car an inspection. It said that the brake pads on all four wheels were at 8mm. which would be normal at 22628 miles. Two weeks later I started hearing a crunching noise when I would come to a stop. I made an appointment for a few days later 01/26/2023. I brought my car to the same dealer and they told me I needed a rear brake job, both pads and rotors. They said the pads were at 3mm on the left rear and 1mm and metal to metal on the right rear. $600 dollars, plus tax. I don't understand how pads can go from 8mm to 3mm in three weeks. I had only driven 259 miles between appointments. No warning lights came on and the only indication was the noise. The dealer said all the breaking systems were fine and workinkg properly after they did the brake job. There is no way that could have happened in 259 miles. Even if the first inspection was a mistake or the tech was taking short cuts, the fact that it wore out rear brakes at under 23000 miles should make a recall. Honda had a similar problem in 2010 and had a recall.

ENGINE
I have a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t 6MT. The car is up to date on recalls (BCM and backup camera update were completed). The car had been sitting in the garage for the last day and a half. I took a 7 mile round trip in light rain to Lowe’s. On the way back, I was on a service road going about 50mph, downshifted into 3rd gear and hit the gas. The tires slipped a little and the car went into limp mode. The car immediately started decelerating and the check engine light started flashing. The throttle barely accepted any input. I drove it home slowly in limp mode. I had to let several cars pass me. At home I turned the car off and back on and the car was perfectly normal. Limp mode was gone. Nobody's safety was severely at risk during this incident but if this happens on the highway it could be deadly. There are many people on Accord forums that seem to have experienced the same issue. I could not find a Honda TSB for the 6MT Accord. The car is available for inspection upon request.

All of my safety features in my car when it comes to driving down the road have completely failed. Adaptive cruise control lane assist brake system errors.
