Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Honda Accord - part 2

I just submitted a complaint but wanted to add that after my car lost all power on a 45mph road and went into limp mode it then was towed to the closest shop. I do have a warranty but when I called Honda they said it wasn't covered the shop I took it to charged me 4100 dollars for a blown head gasket which from researching it looks like this is happening to all 2018 Honda Accords this is low mileage and unacceptable , turns out after I called and told Honda they refused to pay because I had already had the shop look for the problem so I had to pay 4100 for an issue Honda clearly knows about this is unfair and Honda needs to fix this issue.

2018–2022 Accord models with 1. 5l turbocharged engines are experiencing premature head gasket failures. Honda is facing class-action lawsuits regarding these engines, and there are known technical service bulletins (tsbs) for issues like cylinder misfires. Full injectors .

Failing head gasket - cars stalls. Coolant reservoir goes empty. Check engine light go on.

2018 Honda Accord with blown head gasket. Vehicle has a 1. 5l turbo charged engine and 100,000 miles.

The head gasket failed which caused the vehicle to stall out while driving which poses a safety threat to the driver and others due to other vehicles possibly colliding with the vehicle when stalling out. Also, this issue cause the warning light of the engine overheating, which required me to pull over while driving to prevent additional damage to the engine. The vehicle was taken to a nearby dealership for repairs that cost $3,898. 91. Upon research, this is a standard issue with this year, make, and model that Honda has refused to address through a recall.

I started driving this vehicle and all of a sudden it started slowing down, and would not go up to speed. I had it fixed, the car started skipping, making a jerking movement while driving. I made an appointment with tameron Honda of birmingham on 3/26/26. As soon as I pulled up to Honda dealership the engine light was on. The company was trying to bill me 6100 dollars for fixing the car. I do not have that amount on hand and I need my car. I had to drive my car away from the dealership while it was in idle mode state into traffic the car moved so slowly that I could have wrecked. The dealership did not do their due diligence by going off of the VIN number and making sure that the customer is safe with their brand. I was told that they did a full inspection at the dealership. I have been scared to drive this vehicle since the issue keeps happening.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the head gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

2021 Honda Accord ex-l, 1. 5t turbocharged engine. Within 8 months of purchase at approximately 21,900 miles, I experienced three separate incidents of sudden complete engine power loss at highway speeds. During each incident the vehicle would not exceed 2,000 rpm and multiple warning lights illuminated simultaneously including check engine, tpms, brake system warning, and Honda sensing alerts. The vehicle was inspected by two independent Honda dealerships on multiple occasions including cylinder drop tests, leakdown tests, and full fluid checks. The vehicle passed every test at both locations with fluids confirmed properly maintained. Despite passing all professional inspections the power loss incidents continued to recur. The third incident occurred in a residential driveway with a passenger present and was captured on video. A Honda dealership subsequently diagnosed a head gasket coolant leak with an estimated repair cost of approximately $8,000. Research revealed numerous other 2021 Honda Accord 1. 5t owners reporting identical symptoms regardless of maintenance history. This appears to be a known design defect in the 1. 5t cylinder head where a narrow coolant passage represents a structural weak point that fails regardless of maintenance. Owners have been reporting this to NHTSA since 2024 requesting a recall. This defect created dangerous conditions at highway speeds with passengers present on multiple occasions. The vehicle is currently available for inspection at a Honda dealership. I am requesting NHTSA investigate and initiate a formal recall of all affected vehicles. I have everthing documeneted from the 4 dealship visit ive done since the start of the issue.

My car started getting hot, began to overheat. I was on my way home on freeway. Second lane from slow lane. My car began to loose power, I could no longer excelerate. There was a big rig coming up behind me he was not slowing down as he got closer began honking I was trying to flag him that I could not move, as I was trying it started to go like 5 miles per hour where I began slowly to get over, cars in the other lane slowed down. Big rig went around me and avoided any collision. Thank god. I slowly made my way home on the streets with heater blasting. I towed my car to the dealer. I was told, my head gasket needed to be replaced, more than likely I would need a knew engine. Dealership said it was because when taken my car in for service I did not bring to the dealership. Cashier told me that there have been several incidents as mine. To my surprise I googled 2019 Honda Accord engine, and there were many with the same issue same car same year. Yet no recalls! I was lucky not to have been killed or have caused a multiple car collision. Are we waiting for someone to be killed to recall these engines. I missed several days of work, borrowed cars and rented a car to get back and forth to work not to mention the tramatic experience of a big rig coming at you honking on a freeway. A week prior to this incident, my lights on the dashboard came on. I did call the dealership to set up an appointment. At that point they were no signs of overheating. I have taken my care in faithfully for oil changes where all fluids are checked, I was not told not once that any fluids were ever low, last visit was approx 5 months ago. I have called to have them send me all receipts. However in hindsight I do not need theses records as it has been proven by other people they have had the same experience. We are not talking about a faulty air conditioner we are speaking of an engine, in my case power failure. In the even records of oil changes and dealership diagnosis is required. I can email.

Driving on the highway, my dashboard lit up like a christmas tree. Car started having white smoke at tail pipe. Check engine lit blink 5 times. Had 4 kids under 14 years old in car. Almost got hit trying to merge over. Turns out misfire cylinder 4. Head gasket. Only 81,000 miles. I have owed 5 months. Car currently at Honda, they want almost 4,400 to repair. But apparently, Honda is aware of these head gaskets going prematurely, in 1. 5 l. And has done nothing about it. I do not have the money to repair this car on top of how dangerous it was to be driving on the highway. When this happened.

As soon as I got to work and put it in park I got a message on the dashboard saying “engine temperature too hot. Do not drive. Allow engine to cool”. No other warning signs were shown before this. I looked up on google what maybe it meant and to my findings it mentioned gasket and all I noticed recent complaints and claims filed with 2018 Honda Accords for a known issue with these Honda Accord sport 2018 models for blows gaskets.

At 144000 miles all vehicle lights came on and vehicle engine would shake and vibrate. Computer said misfire on cylinder three. Changed spark plugs and coil. Problem still persisted. Mechanic recommended replacing fuel injectors so I did. After injectors were replaced all the lights came back on and the car runs worse. I believe its a blown head gasket now and the mechanic is testing the head this week.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The check engine warning light was intermittently illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle to correct the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

The lights and warnings below popped up on my dash after the engine light had come on and then off again for about a week. See below, -emission system problem avoid heavy acceleration and high speed. See dealer -tpms light -brake system problem -brake hold system problem -electric power steering system problem -vehicle stability assist system problem -hill start assist problem -adaptive cruise control system problem -collision mitigation braking system problem -road departure mitigation system problem went to get diagnosed at the dealership and was told that the turbo on my engine had failed. Mechanic said it had nothing to do with me and that it failed on its own. I saw that it was a reoccurring problem with other Honda owners with the same year, make, and model as mine but are being given the run around and no solution.

Coolant reservoir refilled during last 2 oil changes due to coolant loss. On most recent oil change, spark plugs were removed to put a camera in cylinders. Found water in cylinder. Swooshing sound from motor at idle. Bad headgasket. Replaced headgasket.

Our car, only 3 years old (2022) had a check engine light come on about a week ago. We went and had the code read, said cylinder 3 was misfiring. We replaced all the spark plugs and coils. All the lights went off and the car drove fine for another week. Then all of a sudden after driving 60+ miles, we were accelerating up a hill in very heavy traffic, and the car wouldn't accelerate. It wouldn't go more than 20-25 in a 45 as we were pulling out and we were almost hit because we couldn't go. The engine got a tad above the middle of the oil heat gauge. We had it towed. The dealership stated that it had a head gasket issue, with other issues, and that the engine block might be cracked. Currently are trying to charge us almost 7k to fix it.

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.

Car was jerking when acceleration. Dealer inspected the vehicle and said the head gasket is blown. It overheated a day after Honda dealership fixed my water pump.

After recent service from local Honda dealership vehicle started to drive sluggish. Had all fluids changed and the coolant flushed when serviced at the dealership. The vehicle now displays several different alerts upon start up "emissions systems failure" brake system failure" hill assist failure" power steering failure". Vehicle was returned to dealership and it was determined the head gaskets need to be replaced due to coolant leaking. This vehicle has been maintained consistently with documentation and shouldn't have this type of failure with only 100k miles. Repairs are $4800 and this should definitely be investigated because this is common in Honda Accord model years 2018-2022.

Head gasket failed at 58k miles without overheating per assessment at Honda dealership. Safety was affected by going into limp mode instantly turning left onto 55 mph 4 lane road, no warning lights prior going into limp mode. Brief misfire occurred prior to incident, (did not know at time because it did not seem significant and no warning light). Dealer reports multiple 2018 Honda Accord 1. 5l head gasket and fuel injector failures. Unknown if manufacture would inspect. In addition fuel injector has completely failed and requires replacement per Honda dealership assessment, this occurred after dealership repaired head gasket. Waiting for final repair invoice, can and will provide upon request.

Going home from work, at highway traffic light intersection and car began to shake, sputter. . Engine and oil light briefly came on before car stalled and shut off. In panic put gear into park, turned ignition button, car started and was able to put into drive and proceed. Not long after, on a main road, waiting for turn light, stalled, lost power again. Did not have any acceleration or power. Car was again shaking, luckily pulled into parking lot, put in park, shut off car and back on. When trying to accel, same thing happened as I was half way across 2 lanes, had zero accelerate power, car was shaking/sputtering, but luckily made it across. Car sat off for approximately 10 minutes. Was able to turn on and accelerate to get home without problem. This is a very scary situation to be in, especially in very heavy city traffic conditions. I have never been notified of any sort of recall. A case # has been made with Honda USA. They also let me know that although the year and model of my car was a part of a fuel pump recall, and even though I experienced the same issues that other owners were having in which their vehicles were recalled, that my VIN # was not part of that particular batch recall. Honda dealership shop has diagnosed as a fuel pump. (can provide shop estimate).

My 17 year old drives this car and has suddenly stalled and gone into limp mode 3 separate times (twice on busy highway) with no warning or codes provided. Most recently the vehicle alerted of overheating. After a couple trips to mechanic it was determined that head gasket is going out. It seems that this is a very common problem with this vehicle and an extreme safety hazard. Especially with young drivers as it sent my daughter into panic and nearly caused accident on initial breakdown.

A 2018 Honda Accord suddenly displayed multiple dashboard warning messages at the same time after previously operating normally. The warnings include: emission system problem (avoid heavy acceleration), tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, electric power steering system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control system problem, collision mitigation braking system problem, and road departure mitigation system problem. These alerts appeared simultaneously when the vehicle was started, even though the car had been driven the night before without any issues. The vehicle still starts and runs, but the number of system warnings suggests a possible electrical, sensor, or control module issue affecting multiple vehicle systems.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the turbo charger and the fuel pump how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? both instances I was driving and car automatically started to decelerate while I was on the busy interstate. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes by a dealer has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no but Honda has been notified because there is currently a recall out for these issues that includes my year of vehicle but not my VIN. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? yes every system in the vehicle stated it was failing and engine light came on.

While driving at highway speed, the engine suddenly stalled without warning, resulting in a complete loss of power. This created a dangerous situation as I was unable to maintain speed or safely maneuver with surrounding traffic. At the time of the incident, all electrical warning lights illuminated on the dashboard simultaneously. Prior to this event, there were no clear warnings indicating imminent failure. The vehicle was later diagnosed with a failed head gasket and turbocharger issues. The sudden engine stall while in motion presents a serious safety risk, particularly at highway speeds, as it increases the likelihood of a crash due to loss of propulsion and reduced driver control. This issue appears to have occurred unexpectedly and without adequate warning.

I am submitting a claim regarding a major repair needed on my 2018 Honda Accord. The vehicle was recently diagnosed at an authorized Honda dealership, where technicians determined that the engine requires a head gasket repair. I was quoted approximately $7,000 for the repair. Based on the research I have done, premature head gasket failure appears to be a known and recurring issue reported by other owners of this model, often occurring around 100,000 miles or even sooner. This type of failure at this mileage is unexpected for a properly maintained vehicle and raises concern about a potential defect or design issue. Additionally, the vehicle showed no clear warning signs prior to the diagnosis. There were no dashboard warnings or indicators that would have alerted me to an imminent failure, which made it impossible to address the problem before significant damage occurred. Given the nature of the failure, the relatively low mileage for such a major engine issue, and the high repair cost quoted by the dealership, I am requesting that this matter be reviewed and that assistance or coverage for the repair be considered.

When driving home one night the dash board in the car all of a sudden hade a lot of warning lights come on. I brought it to my mechanic to have a look at it and he suggested to change the spark plugs and the coils which was done and he cleared the codes. About two days later I went to go to work and once again all the warning lights on the the dash board come on and it wouldn't drive over 5 mph. The mechanic went deeper into the problem he said it was cylinder # 3 that had a misfire and the fuel injectors needed to be changed which was done($1,000 later). A week went buy no lights on the dash came on but it has a rough start and when you get to about 40 mph the car starts to hastate to move. This time I brought it rick case Honda to have it looked at and they are telling me it is now the head gasket on cylinder # 3 has a hair line crack and needs to be changed ($7,400) to remove and replace the head gasket. This happened over multiple weeks between bowering cars waiting for parts. Now I have find a way to pay a $7,400 bill.

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.

Head gasket failure at 121,000. It has also affected the spark plugs. We were quoted a $4300+ repair at the Honda dealership in carlsbad. Engine displayed all lights and went on power loss mode and suddenly couldn't go more than 5-10 mph, so we had to tow it. Was dangerous getting such a slow car into a parking lot safely.

My turbo and fuel injectors went out at the same time. It has been fixed, so I don't think it can be inspected my safety was put at risk. The car randomly went into limp mode on the interstate at high speeds and suddenly came to almost a complete stop yes, it was inspected by a mechanic, everyone with a 2018 Honda Accords are having this issue yes, it was inspected by a mechanic. No warning lamps or anything, just a blinking check engine light that appeared for the first time ever.
