general problems of the 2018 Honda Accord - part 2

So about 3 months ago all the sudden all the lights on dash board came on, everyday in the morning when I turn on vehicle on and start driving it does not go over 10 mph even after pressing gas padel all the way, then I have to shut off vehicle for some time and starts back on it start running but lights still comes on. Honda repair shop told me to change fuel injectors which estimate $1,600. But at two different certified mechanic told me Honda Accord has problem with their engine getting coolant in the engine.

My car is always having some electrical issue but when I type in my VIN number, no recalls are listed under my VIN number and then for the last couple of days I've been experiencing acceleration problems when I look up a 2018 Honda Accord it is saying that fuel pumps have been an issue, but my VIN number pulls up no information as far as me falling under that recall what are the proper steps to get my car looked at to see if my VIN number even though it's not populating, any recall falls under the recall.

Hi I just drive my car for about an 1hr and start losing power and a white smoke coming out the muffle I think the head gasket bad.

Backup camera has purple and green distortion that makes it hard to see what’s behind the vehicle when trying to backup. This is a permanent problem that can be inspected upon request. It involves a risk to myself and others by possibly causing injury or property damage. Asked dealership about it and they said it’s common issue and I would need a new camera. Not sure what caused it. It just happened one day and has been like that ever since for about 1 month. Contacted Honda headquarters and they said they couldn’t do anything since there’s no recall with my VIN associated with it. Even a google search shows that there are too many others experiencing the same issue that this should be covered by a recall. It’s very dangerous to allow it to stay like this.

I was traveling at 55mph when the car lost power on the freeway. I had to make my way to the shoulder. I could only travel 10mph. I had the car inspected by an independent mechanic and Honda dealership. I was told it was the head gasket. I am told by Honda it will cost $5500 to fix. I did some research on this issue and found it to be a design flaw due to the channels that are put in the engine block to pass coolant. I found this is a prevalent and Honda did confirm it. Honda denied helping to fix the car and even though they know about the issue. We purchased this car brand new in 2018 and we thought we had a reliable vehicle with Honda's reputation. Honda's good will program did not accept the case either.

This is regarding TSB 21-087, warranty extension for 2018 Accord paint b-757p still night pearl. I was not informed in writing as per required customer notification in 2001. The extended warranty was for 7 years from date of purchase with no mileage limit. When I noticed the paint peel on the roof seams on the left side and right side of the roof, I asked the local dealership today on 7/25/2025. They said I was a few weeks past the expiration date and I had to contact american Honda. While at the dealership getting maintenance performed, I contacted them via chat and they directed me to call instead. I called Honda and they said once the expiration date has passed, there was nothing to be done. I asked for good will and she declined. They will not provide email of incident, as per my request, from discussion but did open case and assigned a case number. Honda stated my only recourse was to pay for damage out of my pocket or wait to see if Honda will possibly extend the warranty and that it was my responsibility to contact them since they will not provide any notification again. So, my vehicle will continue to rust from the paint peel on the roof on a daily basis in the florida sun. Or I have the option to pay out of pocket now and, if warranty extension approved request reimbursement.

Turbo underboost condition.

The speech issues.

Every light on my dashboard came on out the blue while driving.

Head gasket.

Car keeps slamming on brakes on interstate car keeps misfiring cylinders 1. 5 head gasket problems should have a recall with these Honda as much as they give problems. .

On 2025-06-12 at about 3:50 pm est I triggered a remote start command from my phone via the Hondalink app to cool down the car before leaving work. When I went out to the car it had not started. I assumed the command had simply failed, so I returned home and parked in our attached 2-car garage at around 5:10 pm. At about 6:30 pm I opened the door between the house and the garage and heard an engine running. The car was found to have spontaneously started itself. I do not know precisely how long it had been running. It took me a couple seconds to recognize the situation and the danger, and once I realized what had happened I immediately closed the door to prevent carbon monoxide from entering our house. I tried accessing Hondalink to shut down the vehicle remotely but the app gave a message "services currently unavailable". In order to safely shut it down, I opened the garage doors, waited a couple minutes for the garage to ventilate, then quickly moved in and shut down the engine while avoiding breathing in. We noticed a smell of fumes in our house near the connecting door. Both keys were in static locations (not in pockets, etc. Where the buttons could have been accidentally pressed). They had been that way since I got home. I believe that Hondalink's servers sent the remote command to my vehicle *significantly later* than the command was requested. This is a major problem and safety checks should prevent a delayed command from having an effect on the vehicle, especially when dealing with engine start commands. The carbon monoxide buildup fortunately seemed to be minimal, although I am again unclear exactly how long the engine had been running. The vehicle will normally shut itself off 10 minutes after a remote start. However, the most dangerous situation would have been if the car shut itself off and then someone entered the garage shortly afterward without realizing that the vehicle had been running.

All lights in dash is on took it to Honda they playing a guessing game injectors head gasket sensors they really don’t know many people are complaining with the same problems.

Condensor leak and compressor not working. Condensor replaced under Honda service bulletin but compressor not holding pressure.

Paint at the center top of the vehicles roof is slowly starting to fade and chip away. I've always hand washed my car since I bought the vehicle in 2019. Noticed the paint at the top of the roof has been the only area where this is happening.

My car started misfire . . All the lights went on the dashboard . . Had to get it towed . . Headgasket issues.

My vehicle registration renewal notified a recall on the vehicle by the national highway traffic safety administration.

I got this car April 2024. By December I went to the Honda dealer for the recall even though nothing was wrong with the car. After December, when I got the recall fast forward to February. My engine is stalling. I could be pulling out my driveway and it’s stalling. I could be going 10 mph and it’s stalling. I was coming off a ramp and almost got smacked by a 18 wheeler because it started stalling as I’m coming off the ramp. It break checked me on 5th Ave. I was driving. No car in front of me. But a car in the back of me. And it just broke on me. Out of no where. Almost causing the Mercedes Benz to hit me. Luckily they were paying attention. I keep taking it to my mechanic. They are seeing nothing wrong. They don’t want to fix something that’s not broken also after I did the recall for the fuel pump. Now all these lights pop up on my dash. Driving used to be fun. Now it’s getting real scary. I am going to go back to the Honda dealer and see what they tell me but I did look up they have to keep fixing it until it’s fixed. Fingers crossed. I can’t get another car and I also can’t keep driving like this. It’s going to cause an accident.

The lettering of the gear shift and signal light/ wiper switches run off easily making it hard to see in dark places and at night. Bring that those switches are the most crucial when operating the vehicle the white lettering should be sustainable and durable making the visibility great whether driving during the day or night.

Serval warning lights come on in my vehicle I’ve have seen this happen in other models of this car and nothing has fixed it. Car drives fine.

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.

The paint on our 2018 Honda Accord is fading and the clear coat is no longer on the car on the areas of the hood, trunk and roof at this point. The roof is having issues with the paint peeling and rusting in all four corners. We have reached out to our Honda dealership and did not receive any help with this issue. This car is great shape inside and out except the paint issue. The paint should last longer and it should not be rusting. We do not want the rust to continue as it will soon damage our car.

At approx 10pm, vehicle was moving at a steady speed of 70mph on urban highway on new year's eve. Without any indication or warning, the car stalled/had loss of power for about 1-2 seconds and recovered and then about 1-2 minutes later stalled again and recovered. No dashboard lights ever came on. I thought maybe the clutch was failing again. I immediately got off the freeway to find a safe place to call for tow. As I drove to parking lot, my motor made a loud, uncoordinated, rattling noise which is towards the left side and near the engine cover. I thought it might be the serpentine tensioner because only the belt only had been replaced in may 2024. The rattle gets louder with high rpms. After reviewing service records, oil change on 04/18/24 is the first mention of valve cover leak, and oil change 12/23/24 indicates possible rear main seal leak, residue around rear main cover which made me suspect gasket failure. The dealership denied the fault lies with tensioner or clutch and said the knocking sound is from the lower portion of the motor - possibly a faulty knock sensor - and the engine would not be disassembled to provide a more specific diagnosis. The dealership said a replacement engine is needed. No diagnostic codes or other specifics were provided. Dealership replaced fuel pump module per recall protocol. My and my grandchild's safety were jeopardized because my malfunctioning vehicle could have created a deadly traffic hazard among nye celebrants who may have been driving distracted or with impaired cognitive function. In the past when my vehicle had stalled, it would lose power and I would have to coast off the freeway or to the side of the road. In those instances, my car created a traffic hazard & congestion for the vehicles behind me and toward the side that I was trying to exit.

My vehicle has 101,000 miles and the head gasket has failed and I could provide the vehicle for inspection upon request. The problem has been confirmed by a Honda master mechanic that the head gasket has failed. The failure of the gasket caused the vehicle to cut power of the vehicle while driving on the freeway. A warning on the dash came up that stated, that the vehicle is limiting power to the engine.

Honda of kirkland (12420 ne 85th st, kirkland, wa 98033) failed to remedy a recall on my vehicle within a reasonable period of time. I received notice by mail from american Honda in late November that the parts to remedy a recall on my vehicle were now available, and I could have it serviced for free at any authorized Honda dealer. I contacted Honda of kirkland on December 2, and they told me the parts were not available and declined to schedule an appointment. I called them again on December 9, and they said they placed an order for the parts, and would call me back to schedule an appointment. On January 2 (24 days since last contact, 31 days since initial contact), they still had not called me back, so I called them again, and they informed me that the first available appointment would be on April 17. I then reached out another authorized Honda dealer, still on January 2, and they ordered the parts and said they would call back. A few days later, they called back to confirm they had the parts, and scheduled an appointment for January 27. So it was clearly possible to remediate the defect in a reasonable period of time -- Honda of kirkland simply chose not to do so. In summary, Honda of kirkland obstructed each of my three attempts to have this defect remediated, 1. Falsely claiming that the parts were not unavailable. 2. Promising and then failing to contact me to schedule an appointment. 3. Offering me a first-available appointment 136 days after I first contacted them.

Hi, I would like to address two issues separately for my 2018 Honda Accord 1. 5t 6mt; one dealing with the open recall and one dealing with how the vehicle operates dangerously due to poor programming under specific operating conditions. To add, I speak as an engineer working in the automotive space specifically on the design of adas and av systems with iso26262 and sotif in mind. 1) there is an open recall for my vehicle for a fuel pump issue. I am experiencing some of the symptoms of this issue, specifically, my car will hesitate at around 4000 rpms during acceleration. I immediately back off the accelerator and then the check engine light flashes and I lose all engine power. I then restart my vehicle and it operates more or less normally with the occasional illumination of all the dash lights. I have taken my car to the dealership expressing my concerns (braman Honda of palm beach in particular) and they said they cannot do anything about it unless since there are no parts. I have paid for them to diagnose the issue but since they cannot recreate the issue (as it is intermittent) they cannot do anything. Question: what is the point of a recall if a vehicle experiencing the symptoms that lead to the recall cannot be repaired due to "part shortages"? 2) I want to talk specifically of the vehicle programming to cut engine power off. I think I have a separate electrical issue that causes all the lights on the dashboard to go off and again cut engine power. I understand that engineers may want to design their vehicles to cut power off when there is a potential mechanical failure, but in this case the issue is purely electrical. The fact that I can restart my car and accelerate normally shows that the issue is not mechanical. I believe this programming needs to be addressed. To be frank, losing engine power while driving on the highway may lead to catastrophic consequences. I feel that my vehicle is unsafe to drive since it has happened to me multiple times already.

My complaint is concerning NHTSA recall number 23v-858. The problem I have is this. I called my Honda dealer today saying I wanted to bring in my vehicle to have the fuel pump replaced as is stated in the recall. I was told that the part would have to be ordered but before ordering the part the dealership would want to perform a diagnostic test on my vehicle to see if my fuel pump had an issue. Here's the part that I have a big problem with. If my fuel pump is deemed to be defective, they will order the part and replace it at no charge and will not charge me for the diagnostic test (I seem to recall it being in the ~$180 range). But, if the fuel pump is deemed to not be defective, I would be charged for the diagnostic. I argued with the receptionist that this is not something that's up for discussion as this is a safety recall from NHTSA and that Honda's own paperwork states that they will "replace the fuel pump for free" with no mention of first having to pass a diagnostic exam. I did manage to talk to the service manager and plead my case to show him that this would amount to a "money grab" if my vehicle were to not show a problem with the diagnostics. I also pointed out that the only way to see an "improperly molded impeller" (which is apparently the technical problem) would be to remove and inspect the fuel pump at which time you should just replace it anyway, since that's what Honda recall notification indicates. The service manager says he is going to waive any fee for my diagnostic test but I still have to have the diagnostic in order for them to be able to order the part. So I'lll be taking my vehicle in next Friday morning to have the diagnostic. I wonder how many people may have, over the past year or so, taken their cars to this dealership and had the diagnostic performed with a negative result for a failed fuel pump and incurred fee for something that they would not have brought their car in for had they not gotten the recall notification?.

When driving, the car will suddenly slow down and automatically will apply brake. Then, the warning light will pop on the dashboard. When I run the diagnostic, it shows that the car has c0023-brake diag circuit on failure.

When in reverse gear, the backup camera images appear blurred with color distortions. This happens more frequently when it has been raining or there's mud on the roads and less frequent when it's dry.

Unknown vehicle continues to display all warning lights on continuous jumping when driving. It took over seven months to obtain parts and took 26 hours to complete service leaving me without a vehicle. The damage received on the vehicle while waiting on parts caused more problems. Replacing the part after seven months of driving has caused my vehicle to deteriorate beyond repair in my opinion. I am requesting compensation or the ability to have a full inspection beyond the initial recalled parts in order to confirm that my vehicle is in proper working condition.

All of the lights in the dash came on . We took it to Honda , at first they said it was the coils and spark plugs. I had them replaced , the same thing happened again the computer read that it was misfiring on one of the cylinders . They kept it and ran several tests . They then tried to say that it the result of a bad oil change but we knew better. After about a month they said that it had over heated and blown the head gasket . I ended up having to use my warranty and pay a deductible.

Unknown.

Dashboard lights: emissions systems problem, road departure mitigation system problem, collision mitigation bar along system problem, acc system problem, hill start assist problem, vehicle stability assist system problem, electric power steering system problem, brake hold system problem, brake system problem, tire pressure system problem- every single warning and light turn on when weather is less than ideal (high humidity, cold temp, etc. ). When taken to dealership they simply reset the system and all lights go away, but they always come back. Bought car in 2018, always been a problem, regardless of new battery. I take my car in for regular maintenance.

Rear backup camera color distortion. Unable to see clearly to back up. I understand that there was a recall for defective cameras for some 2018 Accords but my VIN number isn’t one of them. Don’t know why. I only have 41000 miles on my 2018 Accord, and the backup camera is dead. Should have been recalled.
