FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My car that i just recently purchased, has an active recall on the fuel pump and it has now been more than 60 days with no remedy. My car is leaking and i fear everytime i drive that it may catch on fire if the fuel leak occurs in the presence of an ignition source.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Re: Two Honda Fuel Pump Recalls in 10 Months In 60 years of driving, I never had a recall on a car until February 2024. In the past 10 months, I have had 2 Hondas recalled for life-threatening fuel pump issues. 1) In 2019, I purchased my first Honda, a Civic. 2) In February, 2024, I received a recall on the 2019 Honda Civic for an improperly constructed fuel pump. I was told the car could just stop - and cause an accident in highway driving. I was also told the replacement part for the fuel pump would not be available until the fall of 2024, at least 6 months later. I did not feel safe driving that car so I traded it into Lia Honda in Northampton, MA for a new 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid. 3) On December 16, 2024, I received a recall on the fuel pump for the new Honda Accord which stated that “due to improper production, the high-pressure fuel pump may crack and leak fuel” which “in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire, crash or injury.” From the recall notice“the replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle currently are not available…” Once again, I owned a Honda that would be life-threatening to drive. Because of Honda’s improper fuel pump production, I had to buy my second new car in 10 months. I have a new car - not a Honda. What kind of quality control does Honda have??

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I was driving at about 40 mph and the car lost all power and stopped in the middle of the road. Most all of the warning lights were on like low air pressure, reduced brakes and a brake problem light etc. Turned the car off and restarted and drove another 5 miles with the brake problem light still on. Stopped and restarted car and the brake light went off and all seems normal now. From my reading on Honda Accord Forums it might be a bad ICM unit? Will be contacting a Honda dealer soon.

SERVICE BRAKES
ISSUE TYPE: Safety Concern “Brakes Auto Engage When Driving At ANY Speed and Parking Brake Lever Is Raised” DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM: I inadvertently lifted up on the Parking Brake switch in center console while driving about 30mph, trying to turn off a different switch on the console. This caused the vehicle to slam-on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a rear-end collision. It is labeled as a Parking Brake but is also an Emergency Brake (I discovered) that can be triggered by anyone who has their hand around the center console and accidentally raises this switch. This poses a serious safety risk to passengers and causing rear-end collisions! STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1Drive the vehicle at any speed (cruise, increasing/decreasing) 2Lift up the Parking Brake lever only momentarily and release 3The vehicle immediately slams-on full rear-brakes then releases 4Hold the switch UP for longer period - experience a full-on emergency stop. Poor excuse for Honda's Parking Brake system. Emergency Brake should be located elsewhere on the dash away from console. DEALER SERVICE: Told me this is normal, as lifting the Parking Brake "up" will engage the rear wheel calipers full-on REGARDLESS of speed! This is not normal Parking Brake action and very dangerous. The manual does not point out this is a FULL-ON braking. They say it "will assist in braking". This is just wrong & needs a software correction now. The Parking Brake should never be able to engage when the wheels are turning at ANY speed. We don't need a 2 wheel Emergency Brake for a super-obscure, super-rare brake failure (if ever). CORRECTIVE ACTION: Simple software modification needed... if the Parking Brake lever is lifted (accidentally) AND the wheels are turning it should INHIBIT the brakes from being slammed-on. An Emergency Brake should be in a separate place on the dash. Honda should fix this very dangerous condition to make it a Parking Brake ONLY. It should only engage when stopped (like in a parking spot).

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I purchased this vehicle in January 2014 and it’s been giving problems since then. I have replaced the gas cap twice because it always gets stuck and I’m unable to open the door. I spoke to the Honda dealer where I purchased and they told me to contact American Honda. I have replaced my tires twice because once it blew on the freeway and the other time on the street out of nowhere. I’m currently at the dealer because the TPMS light came on yesterday and I’m afraid to drive the car with my small children and the Service Director told me there’s no staff to assist me and I might have to wait over 3 hours to take a look at my car. He said the recall for the steering wheel is not a safety issue. Every time I park and rotate the steering wheel it makes a squeaky sound and I’m tired of dealing with issues on a vehicle that I leased less than a year ago. Please help, I use my car to drive my kids to school.

STEERING
The Steering is stiff and pulls to the left . When steering the driver has to overcompensate to make small changes . it sometimes ping pongs back and forth and pulls to the left and sometimes to the right. The alignment was checked by a Honda Dealer and was ok. There are no warning lights. I am trying to get the manufacturer to inspect this vehicle , because I have taken it to the dealer and they deny any problems with it. After driving it, the dealership stated "it was within specifications" . I am in the process of having a different dealer to look at it because the manufacturer will not inspect it until a dealer finds a problem. I have opened a case with the manufacturer , but can't get them to inspect the vehicle as of yet. I feel the vehicle is dangerous to drive. I have nearly lost control of the vehicle on 2 occassions when it was pulling to the left and came within inches of hitting a truck. This is not driver error , I have a perfect driving record.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
On 11/11/2024 while at an intersection with a redlight, I was the first car in the "merge to the right" short lane, stopped and waiting on right lane traffic on the road that intersected to clear. When it was safe to go, I moved my foot to the accelerator and nothing happened. I realized my vehicle had lost power / "died;" that all dashboard lights were out. I quickly put my vehicle gear in "Park" position and restarted. It did restart but immediately a red warning light began flashing saying "Brake System Failure" and "Take Vehicle to Dealer." I was terrified as I proceeded in the right lane of traffic since I had vehicles behind me as well as in front of me and I had to cross an intersection with traffic merging from an interstate highway. There was not a safe place to go; all businesses along this stretch had no entry except on their back side. I had to proceed across several major intersections before I could get to a safe place. Meanwhile, warning lights continued and included more than Brake System Failure. One was showing a Warning diagram about changing lanes of traffic which I had to do. Obviously, brakes worked because I was able to stop when needed but I was afraid the brakes would not work which could have been deadly for myself and others. Once I was stopped and in a safe place, I called Honda Roadside Assistance and my car was towed to the nearest Honda dealership. As of this writing (six days from incident), Honda dealership is still investigating; they have not given me a cause or solution. They are providing me with a loaner car. There is no recall on 2024 Honda Hybrid Touring although there are multiple posts online with people saying they had same thing happen with this model vehicle.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The Instrument Panel Display combined with the Front Sensor Camera failed. This risked my live as well as others lives on the road due to the ill ability to predict when it will fail as well as the difficulty to control the sporadic behavior. The Lane Keep assist system would also overcorrect and have very strong and hard to control corrections with the wheel. The Instrument panel would also turn off mid drive and I would not be able to see my speedometer. It has been seen by multiple diffferent Honda Service Centers and no one can figure out the issue. Camera issues have been recalled on previous models.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Lane Assist Issues. During the time inwhiche I've had the Honda Lane Assist on I've experienced the car wanting to abruptly change direction, system acted as if it was trying to avoid a collision or navigate a non existing turn object in path. I'm also experiencing issues with the TSR system - Honda Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR). This system will show a stop sign, yield sign when there isn't any sign of any type around. I'm also experiencing time when it's indicates I'm traveling in a wrong way direction as a sign in instrument panel will appear showing a red sign with a black mark across which indicates a do not enter. This could cause an accident if happening to a driver in a unfamiliar area as they might come to an ubrupt stop thinking their going in a wrong direction or going to run a stop sign. Note: I keep my car extremely clean, taking care to clean windshield a area where radar is placed on front grill.
