Software problems of the 2018 Honda Accord

All warning lights have been coming on for the last 3 years first time I was almost run over by 18 wheeler all warning lights came on the car lost power and I could not turn on hazard lights had to wave hands out window to alert traffic that my car was malfunctioning second time I was in on going traffic and all lights came on and car lost power had to use emergency brake to keep from getting hit from behind by ups truck I have attempted to take car back to dealership on several occasions and was told that my car was not on the recall for the bcm software malfunction and the fuel pump and that I would have to pay a 250 diagnostic fee I have only been successful at getting the back up camera recall replaced all other recall I was told that my VIN number was not included. I have had the spark plugs replaced coils replaced wind shield replaced heat cracked windshield, battery replaced twice, brakes and pads replaced tires replaced back camera replaced and water pump replaced. Since the cars warning lights have been on the car does not indicate when maintenance is due for the last 2yrs determine on my own or go to auto zone to get a diagnostic reading I'm not sure if this is a lemon or not but trying to get every warning light part replaced has been to n0 avail the cars warning lights a power and feature functions have not worked in 3 yrs.

A few months after buying the 2018 Accord, Honda had to put a software update, which they claimed was going to address and issue with the back-up camera (which always seemed to work fine, at least on my car). Shortly after the update, the infotainment unit had started to randomly (and rather frequently) reset itself every few day. Honda (after some trips to the dealer and several attempts to reach out to the Honda of America hq) had failed to acknowledge the issue and, eventually, begrudgingly had admitted to the problem; however, they had failed to produce a fix for months. My vehicle still does not have a fix applied and keeps having resets. I have spoken with a 2018 Honda odyssey (which uses the same system), who finally gave up and got rid of the vehicle due to the number of recalls (and, to some extent, very poor handling of the issues by Honda dealer(s) and Honda), but they had to have their unit physically replaced. Supposedly, there now a recall, but you have to take the vehicle to the dealer (surprise, not). As it stands, Honda may have used a piece of hw which has a built-in failure (this could be more insidious than just a sw fix) and is refusing to address it in hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Why can't this be done via a �simple� sw update the way 21st century car-makers do? or is Honda simply hiding an inevitable failure via sw update? on the noted date, this was yet another reset of the unit. The vehicle now has about 27,500 miles, but has exhibited this behavior for thousands of miles/over a year.

After being parked in a friends driveway for several hours I proceeded to open my car and drive home. First remote control would not open doors, after several tries it open the driver door only, upon turning ignition on a series of warning indicating the adaptive cruise control system automatically disables itself, all collision mitigation functions stop working, series of warning see pics appear on display to see dealer, all windows and truck will not function, turn signals and brake lights, rear view camera do not function, brake system msg appears on display. Turned off and on car with no success in restoring all functions as on two previous occasions. Drove car for 4 miles in this state felt it was dangerous for us and other drivers. This morning all has restored to normal. Called Honda dealer in el monte CA. Was told they did not know anything about this type of problem, was not able to book service call until middle of next week in researching online found Honda service bulletin 19-051 describing a software update to car modules to fix this problem. I believe that is really should merit a recall as it interferes with the safe driving of the vehicle. A recall will force Honda to inform its service dealers and instruct them on a prompt scheduling of required software upgrade to resolve this software defect affecting drivability of their flagship car.
