1 Assist problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2025

All the lights in the car turn on. I have no clue what the problem is. I have searched the internet and have encountered many people with the same problem. With no one finding a solution to it. Honda needs to take responsibility for this. I changed the battery and have replaced the battery terminals.

2 Assist problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2023

My Honda Accord 2018 with 49,000+ mileage suddenly showed multiple warning lights on the dashboard causing parking break to malfunction; acc, collision assist malfunctions and many other warning lights appeared. I brought it to Honda waldorf maryland and they told me it was definitely the 2 rear calipers as they diagnosed, but this did not solve the problem after replacements. After about 3 days with my vehicle still with them, they told me that it was the module that is malfunctioning; I can no longer refuse them because my car has been there for several days and it's only the Honda that can fix this as the service rep stated and I really need my car. On the other hand, I checked Honda website and called them that there are recalls on the Honda Accord 2018 - 2020 modules. Unfortunately, my VIN is not included even it clearly states that Honda Accord 2018 is included as stated on their website (see attachments).

My Honda Accord 2018 with 49,000+ mileage suddenly showed multiple warning lights on the dashboard. Honda waldorf maryland misdiagnosed that it was definitely the 2 rear calipers, but this did not solve the problem after replacements. After about 3 days, they told me that it was the module that was actually malfunctioning but I can no longer refuse because my car has been there for several days and it's only the Honda that can fix this as the service rep stated. On the other hand, I checked Honda website and called them that there are recalls on the Honda Accord 2018 - 2020 modules. Unfortunately, my VIN is not included even it clearly states that Honda Accord 2018 is included. Please see attachements.

Failure Date: 09/13/2023

Every warning light is turned on my vehicle. Dealer said it’s the fuel injectors however riverside is out of stock. Due to fuel injectors my line assist, emergency collision and cruise control does not work. Parts are not available on any auto zone or any other car part dealers. I’m worried my car might start a fire or some type of mechanical failure during my driving. Online shows multiple people having the same issue and recommends not buying a Honda. Please help, thank you.

A/c not working.

6 Assist problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2023

I down loaded my update through the radio. It said complete. I went into the house and the next morning I started it and a bunch of warning lights were on and have stayed on. I can not use some of the buttons on the drivers door, I can not use my key fob unless it is touching the start stop button, I can not open the trunk, the gas cap will not open, and most of all I have lost some power to the interior fuse box. This car is only 5 years old almost to the date and it has had multiple recalls already. I want the bcm reprogrammed and fixed so all this will go away.

7 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2023

All dashboard warning lights come on. (brakes, vsc, steering, etc) message says take to dealer. 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. Dealer has no solution.

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.

9 Assist problem

Failure Date: 08/19/2022

I Honda Accord recently has been displaying up to 17 error messages out of the blue. It doesn’t matter if I’m going 30 mph or 80 mph. It happens randomly and there is a power loss associated with it. It is happened to me on the highway and was extremely scary. I have disconnected the battery and the lights will go off for a little bit but randomly sometimes the same day sometimes a day after all of the lights will come back on and all of the safety feature shut off. I’ve spoke with Honda and they have no known understanding of this happening but there are many many forums of this happening between multiple models of their vehicles around the 2018 range.

10 Assist problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2022

Two times while driving on the highway at 75-80 mph with cmbs system on and utilizing acc. Out of nowhere, vehicle drops speed, acc off notice comes on and an alert stating collision mitigation braking system problem. See dealer pops up. . At this point, I have to quickly react to increase speed on gas pedal and avoid someone hitting me from behind. I am not able to re-engage the acc the remainder of the travel. After turning off the vehicle, the cmbs resets and acc is available again. This is not possible to do while driving on a highway. The second time it happened, I was changing lanes into the passing lane on left and I seriously could have been hit due to my speed deceleration. I took the vehicle straight to the dealer and the guy checking me in said they get a lot of those system errors. This is not reassuring! they ran a diagnostic, step by step the advisor said, only to say the system shows no issue. This is not acceptable to me as I do not feel safe driving. In addition, the lane keeping assist lkas feature also malfunctions. When there are shadows on the road, my car wants to swerve and steer me incorrectly. My car also will display a giant orange brake warning when nothing is in front of me. One time it braked so hard that my seatbelt locked up and everything on my passenger seat slid off the seat. Thankfully, nobody was immediately behind me because I could have been hit for the sudden and unanticipated braking.

11 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2022

Vehicle safety collision system has tried to stop my vehicle on at least 3 occasions when nothing was in front of it. Happened on highway. Vehicle sensed a ghost and slammed on the brakes. The cmbs system gives errors often and tries to shut systems down and brake the car while traveling. Happens often and has happened since the car was new. Dealer has no idea about issues.

12 Assist problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2021

Collision braking mitigation system experienced two errors (descriptions unknown). Received error message warning on display panel, but no description of errors. Cmbs, lkas, speed limit sign sensing, etc. All failed. Turning vehicle off and on several times did not restore the system. Vehicle drove fine, but all safety features were disabled.

13 Assist problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2021

Was driving straight on I-10 in arizona on carpool lane when suddenly some warning lights came on dashboard car made me veer to the right making me spin out of control causing a crash and hitting the fence.

14 Assist problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2021

On occasion, while at hwy speeds with no cars in front of me my car will suddenly start braking. This worries me that people following to closely might not be expecting my car to brake as their us no immediate traffic in front. Also, the lane assist frequently fights me when I am within my lane. It appears that concrete scratches or marks in the road sometimes confuse it.
