general problems of the 2019 Honda Accord - part 1

Car lost power on freeway, had the car towed to local Honda. After several hours of sitting at dealership and talking to several different employees. One employee comes back to tell me the head gasket was blown and needed repaired. And that this is a common issue he has been seeing in this make/model of car.

The turbo! code p0299! hundreds of thousands of americans going through the same issue all their lights are flashing on their dashboard with these 1. 5 t engines.

Description of incident: 1. Component/system failure: the engine cooling system and head gasket failed. A certified shop has confirmed coolant intrusion and a failed leak-down test on cylinder 2. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. Safety risk: my safety and the safety of my family and other drivers were put at extreme risk. On March 1, 2026, the vehicle suffered a sudden loss of motive power while traveling at 70 mph on the freeway. The car dropped to 15 mph instantly, forcing me to maneuver across active lanes to a narrow shoulder with almost no space. I was nearly hit by high-speed traffic. This has occurred over 8 times since 2023. 3. Confirmation by service center: the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by an independent service center on site lube auto & tire. They utilized a borescope and leak-down test to verify the internal engine failure. 4. Inspections: the vehicle has been inspected by a certified independent technician. I am in the process of notifying the manufacturer (Honda) of these findings for their inspection and accountability. 5. Warning lamps & symptoms: prior to the total power loss, the vehicle displayed engine temperature warnings and "check engine" lights. These symptoms first appeared approximately 8 months after purchase in 2023 and have progressively worsened, leading to the current engine failure. 6. Additional notes: this failure is identical to issues cited in active class-action lawsuits regarding Honda's engine defects, affecting both standard and hybrid models. I am communicating via written report/email for documentation and accessibility purposes.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was a choking sound coming from the vehicle, and brake pedal went to the floorboard. The vehicle was turned off and while restarting the vehicle, the lane departure, tpms, brake system, brake hose, brake performance reduced, and other warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

All light come on brake system, acc, road migration, collision migration, hill start assist problem, vehicle stability system, electrical power steering, and it will not go when at a light. Almost causing a car accident.

My vehicle started having issues with misfires approximately 2 years after I bought it in January 2020. I bought it new from the dealership in salinas California. I took it to morgan hill Honda for repairs. It’s had 2 misfires and I took it in for a fuel pump recall. About 2 weeks later all my lights in my dash come on. I took it in to get looked at and they said it’s the turbo engine, $3k to fix it. I’ve had nothing but problems and it’s like a bandaid of a fix every time. The first time it happened I was merging onto highway [xxx] and it gave out and slowed down to 25mph. I had to pull over to the shoulder almost caused an accident. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

All types of lights popped up such as emissions system problem tire pressure monitoring brake system problem vehicle stability electric power hill start acc collision mitigation road departure mitigation.

My car has been sending several warnings including: brake system: electric parking brake system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, adaptive cruise control system problem, collision mitigation braking system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, supplemental restraint system problem, and power steering reduction problem. My car is not even 100,000 miles yet. I have had all maintenance done on time and recently had brakes replaced. I have changed my battery and tires twice within the 6 years of owning the car. It seems this is a regular complaint for such low mileage. I was a Toyota person but switched to Honda for their safety performance, and now I am regretting that. I read that this is the turbo needing to be changed. This part should be recalled if it is failing soon. A person who just bought a car should not be paying $4500 in repairs already. I had the fuel pump recall replacement done, and had the brakes done. I am changing the spark plugs and ignition coils next week. Honda needs to do something about this and I am looking to join in the class action suit against them, if they do not correct the issue.

The lights on my car have been displaying on and off for two years. I keep being told that it is a battery issue, I replace the battery and months later all of my car lights are back on. The car drives hard, and stalls. Very unsafe.

All warning lights turn on on the dash board. I replaced the battery, airbag module, and abs module and I'm still having the same issue.

Lights go crazy in dashboard apparently due to constan cylinder misfires, spark plugs changed, same issue, fuel injectors and coils changed, same happened keep it getting fix and the problem persist, making the car dangerous to drive, since it loses power since the car it’s not able to respond and work as it should be having engine, steering and brake issues, problem has been confirmed by dealer. It hasn’t been inspected by manufacturer. The lost of power and acceleration it’s probably one of the symptoms before all the light go on again. It’s been several times that this happens and I know for a fact that many people are experiencing this issues due to turbo or head gasket failure. Might get that inspected soon.

Fuel pump failed, car stalled and was unresponsive.

Honda Accord 2019 could not start after parked in garage for 6 weeks. Instrument panel showing: 1) brake hold system problem 2) brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. 3) electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. 4) electric power steering system problem. Steering assist reduced.

My vehicle had been running fine up until the dash lit up, engine check turned on along with the tire pressure sensor and as of right now my car does not accelerate.

All the lights came on on the car, took it to get looked at they stated it was the turbocharger I spent $2500 to get it replaced and yet all the lights are still on-automatic headlights don’t work and the infotainment system keeps cutting out-like glitching. According to the Honda representative at the dealership, this year model has had alot of issues and several cars in the last month alone have replaced turbochargers and had to come back and get an entire motor! this is highway robbery if the cars themselves weren’t put together correctly from the manufacturer. This needs to be looked into as I’m having to shell out thousands of dollars for a defective car. My [xxx] drives this vehicle and I don’t know what to do as the dealership charges $190 for every diagnostic test and to not have an answer is frustrating. All I’m hearing is several cars this year are horribly made. This needs to be investigated and resolved. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6.

1. Component: the engine head gasket and the combustion system (specifically cylinder 2). Specifics: a leak-down test confirmed a failure in cylinder 2, leading to coolant intrusion. This was initially masked by a water pump code, but after the water pump was replaced and the code returned, a borescope confirmed "clean" pistons (steam-cleaned by coolant) and tap scarring. Availability: yes, the vehicle and all diagnostic records are available for inspection. 2. Emergency maneuvers: on multiple occasions, the car entered "limp mode" while driving 70–75 mph on the freeway. This caused a sudden, dangerous drop in speed, forcing me to maneuver through high-speed traffic to reach the median/suicide lane. Stranded: the vehicle overheated 5 times in one trip, leaving me vulnerable on the side of a busy freeway. 3. Yes. An independent shop confirmed the failure via a leak-down test, a borescope inspection, and physical analysis of the spark plugs. They confirmed that despite the computer throwing a water pump code, the mechanical failure is the head gasket. 4. Status: it has been inspected by an independent service center. I am now using their findings to pursue a lawsuit/claim against Honda for selling a vehicle with a pre-existing internal engine defect. 5. Timeline: symptoms began in April 2024 (two months after purchase). Initial signs: an "emission system" warning light appeared. The diagnostic code indicated a water pump failure, which was replaced in April. Recurring symptoms: in November, the car suffered multiple misfires and "limp mode. " in March, the "emission system" light and the same water pump code returned, but the shop confirmed the pump was functional and the true cause was the head gasket leak into the cylinders.

All warning lights have turned on my dash. Ive done research and this is happening a lot of people that own 2018-2020 Honda Accord 1. 5l.

The motor to the lock in the gas tank makes a very loud sound and doesn’t appear to work properly.

Forward collision warning stopped working after a system upgrade on my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. I activate the forward support and immediately it turns off. This is a safety issue. The system assist in breaking in time to maintain car distance and avoid a collision. Contacted Honda. I was told to take it to service at my cost.

Christmas tree dashboard.

All lights keep popping on. . Get maintenance done still come on and off.

I’ve had 2 readings one from Honda and one from a different mechanic shop. One reads bad fuel injectors from the mechanic shop and the other from the Honda dealership reads bad turbo. All lights on my dash board. I didn’t have any lights on before my fuel pump was replaced due to that recall and now my dash board looks like christmas lights.

In December 2024, all of the lights on my dashboard came on & my car would not accelerate. The code indicated that it was a "cylinder 2 misfire. " I replaced the ignition coil for cylinder 2 but my car continued to have the same issues. I had all 4 ignition coils replaced and all 4 spark plugs. In March 2025, all of the lights on the dashboard came on again with the car not accelerating properly. I had it looked at again, was told that it was a "cylinder 2 misfire" again but all 4 ignition coils were working properly. A spark plug was replaced at that time. Then, in may 2025, the car did the same thing with all of the lights coming and the car would not properly accelerate. The car again read that there was a misfire with "cylinder 3" but all of the ignition coils worked properly. I had the fuel injectors replaced and another spark plug replaced. The car didn't even make it 24 hours before all the lights came on again. The rpms in the car now go past "3" but will not accelerate & shift gears. The Honda dealership has advised me that the head gasket needs replaced. My car has 74,000 miles on it. I had it inspected April 2024 with no head gasket issues & the car was at 64,000 miles approximately. So, in 8 months' time, the head gasket was blown & the car is well under 100,000 miles. I have been told that the engine my car has, 1. 5l turbo with Honda has had this issue to the extreme that a class action lawsuit has been filed as Honda refuses to do any time of recall or assist with repairs. I literally had to drive with my 4 ways on to avoid being hit in an intersection due to the inability of my car to accelerate. The NHTSA needs to investigate Honda & determine if they are defrauding consumers by refusing to issue a recall due to this common & dangerous issue. I have owned 7 hours in the 30 years I have had a driver's license & never once had a head gasket issue or any issues to this extreme. I have never replaced a head gasket in any car that I have owned.

Mid October 2023, we driving on the freeway and the car started to slow down on its own. We could not accelerate to match the speed of cars around us or to get the speed limits in a 55 to 65 zone, making it dangerous for us and others to continue driving on the freeway at extremely slow/low speeds. We towed it the dealership, who said it was defective spark plugs. This car was only 4 years old with extremely low millage and the spark plugs should've last a lot longer. They changed the spark plugs under warranty. Late November 2024, we were getting off the freeway and the check engine light came on but there were no service codes. Everything was running normally except for the engine was making a loud noise. We parked at a shopping center and approximately 30 minutes later, restarted the car and all these messages and icons appeared for: vehicle stability assistant system problem, hill start assistant problem, acc, collision mitigation breaking system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, emissions system problem, tpms, brake system problem, electric power steering system problem. Towed it dealership and after an hour of diagnostics testing, they said it’s the spark plugs again! just a little over a year and 2 out of 4 spark plugs are bad again. This is not right. We hardly drive this car and it’s only a little over a year since the spark plugs were replaced and a little over 5 years since we got the car brand new. Spark plugs are supposed to last 10 years or 100,000 miles and we’re not close to either. This time they said it's not covered under warranty and is over $800.

My car has difficulty starting and shows up that the battery is dead. When I checked the battery, it was fine. My car has a strange smell coming out of the ac, my oil light is on even if the oil is fine and brand new. Something is wrong with the fuel pump as well.

There is an issue going on in which the door lock actuators within the door latch assembly are failing. This issue happened to my vehicle and through a google search you can see that it's happening to several others. Because of this issue, the doors of the vehicle will not open via remote unlock, only via manual insertion of the key and physically unlocking the other doors. In a situation where you need to quickly enter your vehicle, this is very problematic. Additionally, if I choose to remote start the vehicle, as soon as I use the physical key to unlock the driver side door, the vehicle turns off essentially negating the remote start. I went to the dealership and used the diagnostic device to determine that these devices were failing electronically and I had to have both of my left side assemblies replaced at a high cost.

All of a sudden I was driving and every light on the dash lit up the car starting stalling and shut off we replaced the spark plugs and the coils because they told us that was the problem and it's still doing the same thing quite a few people that are having this issue got a recall letter. . I never received a recall for this problem and every time I put my VIN number in it's saying zero recalls something is wrong this is not safe for me and my children.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning lights illuminated. The battery was replaced before the failure. The vehicle was jumpstarted but failed to start. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact called another local dealer Honda of tomball (22727 tomball pkwy, tomball, TX 77375); but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Suddenly I get warnings of failure of adaptive cruise control, failure of braking, stearing and forward collision warning failure. It goes away if I drive my vehicle for few miles but then suddenly appears again. No one seems to know what is the issue. I tried to reset setting multiple times, checked system updates and checked battery etc, asked to check if there are any faulty codes but no one seem to know what is going on. It keeps happening every day.

For the past 3-4 months it started off with shaking. Once I would try to accelerate it it would choke. Took it to the dealer ship and they had it for almost 2 months. Supposedly the engiens head gasket tend to blow for those type of cars model and year. I was called yesterday that it was ready after almost 2 months. Not 3 hours went by and the issue started to happened again. I have my kids if a accident would of happened my kids would of been injured. If it has happened to many Honda Accords 2019 1. 5 sport why not do a recall on it. It could cause my life my kids or someone else in the road.

Car began pausing/stalling/ now will not start.

The lights come on ,the dashboard saying it’s my fuel pump and I can’t get it fix because they don’t have the parts in stock till next year vehicle will stall on the highway and lose power causing someone to crash into me and the transmission throw a code as will with the fuel pump.

Back up camera malfunctioning since the past couple weeks. It displays these colorful artifacts as shown in the attached images. It makes it harder to observes obstructions, cars while backing up. Haven't got this component inspected yet but looking online, it seems to be a issue common to different Honda models (particularly 2019 models) - see link below piloteers. Org/threads/colorful-backup-camera-image. 173637/page-3?post_id=1846404#post-1846404.

I was driving on the interstate on adaptive cruise control when suddenly my cruise control turned off, and then various sensor lights all started popping up on my dash notifying my that various safety systems were not on/working, including all Honda sensing features, I also lost my power steering. I managed to pull off onto an exit ramp, kept the car running, and was able to get it to town to have battery tested. Battery was fine. Turned the car off and turned it back on and there were 0 issues and everything worked just fine. Took car to Honda dealership, it was diagnosed that the eps unit malfunctioned. I was terrified when this happened as I was traveling 70 miles per hour on the interstate and didn't know what was happening, I was unsure what was happening and if I was going to be able to control the vehicle at all even through the gas pedal, or brakes. I was terrified I wouldn't be able to steer or brake or if the car was going to accelerate without my control. I was able to brake slowly and pull over to an exit ramp. Driving it into town with no power steering was extremely difficult and scary. I had never experienced any issued with any electrical, steering, or any other systems in my car prior to this. Honda of altoona in iowa is where the car was diagnosed the eps malfunction, I was told by the dealership it was a manufacturer error and there wasn't anything I did to trigger it. I had the eps unit replaced based off the dealership recommendation as there was no promising it wouldn't happen again if I didn't replace the unit and it was a safety concern.

My dash is a christmas tree, been to 3 shops. Many codes are popping up ans showing needs turbocharger. Honda wants almost 3000 to fix. Drives fine but so many lights. I have tons of codes popping up. So many other car owners with same issue.
