1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2026

I was told the best thing to do was report it here. Our son was driving his 2019 Honda Accord and suddenly everything on his dashboard lit up. Was told it is a blown head gasket. We were also told that the shop has had over 81 Accords in with the same issue. They said Honda is trying to sweep it under the rug rather making a recall. We were told this is what they see: the head gasket material between cylinders is very tiny, any minor disturbance will cause coolant to leak into the cylinder. Usually failures are happening between cylinders 2&3 where the material is the thinnest. 2) Honda is really trying to get a lot of power out of this small engine with the inclusion of the turbocharger. Higher octane fuels are needed to prevent premature detonation / knock, especially with forced induction (turbo charger). You can still run the car using 87 octane, but the chances of problems like a blown head gasket happening increase. 3) the head bolts that keep the engine head to the engine block are not strong enough. These bolts are torque to yield at around 50 ft lbs (if that). There have been instances where these bolts don't have enough clamping force to withstand the pre-detonation. This force causes the head to jump and the bolts to stretch. The heat from the combustion in the cylinder is no longer contained, which warps and damages the head gasket over time, leading to its failure. It was suggested to use arp studs which we were told are a higher quality than the oem Honda head bolts and have a stronger clamping force. Our son ended up stranded 3 states away with this issue that we then learn is very common yet there are no recalls.

On may 13, 2025, I took my car to the Honda dealership, because all of the lights on the dashboard came on. I was told that the clips on my turbocharger needed to be replaced, and so Honda fixed that $120 (diagnostic fee) $209. 99 to fix the issue. I was traveling so they kept the car for a week.

21 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2024

I own a 2019 Honda Accord purchased brand new in 2019. My family and I have been Honda owners forever. My current Honda Accord lx has 96,000 miles and recently my emissions dashboard illuminated. I took my vehicle to gillman Honda and to my surprise I have been advised the turbocharger needs to be replaces and it will cost me $2,900. 00. I'm also still on the waitlist for the fuel pump recall Honda has failed to provide parts for the past year which is incurring me extra expenses on buying gas way more than I should. After reading multiple complaints, I'm convinced Honda is fully aware of the turbocharger issues and have failed to initiate a recall. I'm very frustrated with the lack of transparency and accountability Honda is conducting regarding their manufacturing process. Why is a car at 5 years old experiencing a blow in a turbocharger and why is it taking over a year to have parts in place for a recall for fuel pump a car that could lead to extra expenses and damage to a vehicle? I am requesting Honda immediately provides the fuel replacement part needed for the recall for my vehicle and contact me for a definite date for repairs and reimbursement for this service that my car shouldn't need due to their failure in manufacturing. Please investigate their turbocharger system problems on their new cars.

23 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/21/2024

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.

25 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2024

Vehicle information: make: Honda model: 2019 Accord sport VIN: [xxx] mileage: 90000 date of initial recall repair under service bulletin 19-091: 6/02/2023 issue description: type of complaint: non-safety related but performance-affecting system failure (a/c system). Description of the problem: in 2023, the a/c system in my 2019 Honda Accord sport began to leak refrigerant due to a faulty a/c condenser and o-rings. The vehicle was repaired under Honda service bulletins (s/b 19-091, s/b 21-014–21-018), which replaced the condenser and o-rings. Within two years of this repair, the same issue has occurred again: refrigerant is leaking from the a/c system, leading to a failure of the system to cool properly. Despite the initial repair being done under warranty, I am being quoted for additional repairs, which suggests a systemic issue with the a/c system. There is no recall issued for this problem, but the fact that the issue has recurred so soon after a factory-approved repair raises concerns about the durability and quality of the parts involved. Safety impact (if applicable): while this a/c failure is not immediately safety-critical, a malfunctioning a/c system could lead to driver and passenger discomfort during extreme weather, potentially distracting the driver and compromising the vehicle’s overall comfort and performance.

Failure Date: 03/01/2024

My vehicle makes a humming noise while driving. The humming noise is heard about 3 times in a row then a pause then 3 more hums, while driving but seems to be louder at around 50mph +. My vehicle has 56k miles an it and it has had that sound since I purchased it used with about 30k miles. I have been doing research on it but have not been able to figure out what causes the humming noise nor what the resolution is to fix it. I have heard about the adaptive noise control but I hear it even with the windows down and the music off.

32 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2024

2019 Honda Accord srs (supplement restraint system) unit light came on. The dealership informed me that the srs unit and the driver side airbags are defective. The dealership had the car for a week attempting to figure out the issue and replaced both the srs unit and the driver side airbags. They gave me the car back and 15 miles later the srs unit light came back on. There is a safety concern with this because this module is what tells the airbags to deploy properly. And the driver side airbag was defective as well.

We received a notice on 2/16/24 for the fuel pump impeller recall, and we called the dealership and they said we have to wait until early fall to call them back. We called back many times and have continually been told to call back. It's now 2/3 way through fall and our car still has not been fixed and we're still being told to wait and call back. On your website it states to file a complaint online if the manufacturer is unable to remedy this in a “timely manner” and this is the only form we could find to submit a complaint. It’s been almost a year since the recall started on December 18, 2023 and almost 9 months since we got the notice in the mail, and our car is still not fixed.

I received a letter in the mail stating that my fuel injections had a recall. 2024 Feb-Mar. Letter stated that I would not be able to get it fit until the fall because Honda parts were backed up. At about may all my dash board lights were on, check engine, tps, tire pressure. I assumed it was from the recall. At that time I had about 120,000 or 130,000 on my car, I'll have to check my oil change reports. Nov 2024 I was finally about to get my fuel injection fix, per the dealership. Lights were still on afterwards. Now February 2025, I get it check out, I need a new turbo and an engine because my gasket has blown. About December of 2024 I noticed I had issues with accelerating. My car jerks causing me some safety issues. This is my only car. I am afraid to drive it.
