Other Fuel System Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

This has happened out of the blue and randomly more than once recently. Loss of power/no acceleration. Once it had no acceleration when taking off from a stopped position, and then again it lost acceleration while driving at a speed of around 50mph the car would no longer accelerate, had to pull off to the side of the road and turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes and then restarted the car and it resumed to function normally. There are no codes in the system, no warning lights, this has happened 4 different times now. Honda says they cant do anything if they cant make it repeat the problem when they diagnosis it and if the system doesnt have any active codes in it.

My car lost power while driving on multiple occasions. My car was originally on the fuel pump recall list but the dealership did not have the part for 6+ months. When the part did come in I found out my car was no longer on the recall list. I had to have my fuel pump injectors replaced due to a faulty fuel pump.

While pulling into a parking spot my car unexpectedly accelerated. Brakes were unresponsive even after placing both feet on the brake pedal. Vehicle stopped only after I hit a tree. Engine continued to rev at which point I placed the vehicle in park and shut off the engine. Although the impact of the crash was severe my 1airbag did not deploy.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord that was subject to a fuel pump recall. The dealership replaced the fuel pump in July 2025 as part of the recall. Shortly after the replacement, all dashboard warning lights illuminated. I took the vehicle in for diagnostic inspection and was informed that the fuel injector and head gasket had failed. The estimated cost of repairs is $5369. 69. I believe these failures may be related to the fuel system recall or indicate a broader defect in the vehicle’s engine or fuel components. I am deeply concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle, especially since these issues arose immediately after the recall repair. I am currently unable to afford the repair, and I fear the vehicle may pose a risk to myself and others on the road. This situation has caused me significant stress and anxiety. The unexpected financial burden has disrupted my personal and professional life, and I feel unsafe driving a vehicle that may have underlying defects. I am frustrated that a recall repair may have led to even more severe mechanical issues, and I am left without clear support or resolution. I had no choice but to pay for the repairs out of pocket, despite the financial strain. I am seeking guidance on how this cost might be recovered—whether through manufacturer assistance, warranty extension, or further recall action. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether this issue is connected to the existing recall or represents a wider safety defect affecting other vehicles of the same make and model.

Leak on gas pump.

The car when pressing the accelerator will decelerate and go limp and won’t move. This is happening to a lot of Honda Accords. This will cause an serious accident.

This is very serious while driving on the highway vehicle warning for engine temperature right after check engine came on. I almos crashed becuase the engine temperature close to limit asked to reduce the acceleration but how can I slow down in 2 lines fast highway on very dark night. This very, very unsafely and Honda should take this seriously if they claim safety is priority.

Car will drive fine , then all of a sudden it shuts completely off on the highway which is a major safety concern. All the lights will pop on in the dash board without any warning. Car will act as if it doesn’t want to pick up speed then after about 10-15 mins starts driving fine . This is my second time contacting you all regarding the same issues . Honda needs to definitely do a recall ASAP this is not safe at all to be driving around like this . Alot of customers driving 2018-2022 Honda Accords have been having the same exact issues . .

While driving and pressing gas car would not accelerate and just cut off in road. Vehicle had plenty of gas and no warning light or indications appeared on dash, but car sputtered and slowed quickly to a complete stop while pressing accelerator, then the engine cut off as of it were out of gas.

Gear shift ignition and parts of buttons come on and off. Gear shift lights not at all anymore. The entire tire warped from around tire like it been detached from car and fell outward. I’ve had multiple fuel issues two brand new catalytic converters fuel pump and system cleaned put on filters changed and still have issues.

Driving on highway, check engine light went on and car lost all power would not go over 5 mph scared for my life as I was almost hit by other vehicles traveling at hi rates of speed . I managed to get the car to the shoulder. I turned the car off and restarted, and the car went back to operating normal. Car was checked by a friend who is a mechanic, and he told me there were codes for misfires after checking all the issues that could cause that type of problem he informed me that a pressure test on the coolant system revealed a blown head gasket which allowed coolant to leak in the cylinders causing miss fires due to the anti freeze extinguishing the spark of the spark plugs. I researched this matter and it's see to be a very common problem with many Hondas with the 1. 5 engine.

Coolant leaking into head gasket which now needs to be replaced as it’s causing the whole car to shudder when acclerating and when not letting off the gas the check engine light will come on and the car will not drive anymore. It then needs to be turned off and on again to go away and won’t fix the issue with the studdering.

I bought this car and after only owning it for eight months, as I was driving down the freeway, every light on my dashboard lit up, and my car slowed down. I was able to pull to the side of the road, but I could no longer drive my car home and I was commuting. Since the first incident, I have repaired my car having the coil repaired spark plugs, and regular maintenance in the last eight months that I have owned the car and now my turbo charger needs to be replaced. I took it into two different mechanic shops. My car is only at 130k miles this should not be causing an issue with a Honda now I cannot find anyone to repair it without costing me $2000 plus.

In the past 2 months my car starting having rough idle issues. As recommended by the dealership, I replaced the head gasket as they said it was leaking coolant into the cylinder causing the rough idle. Almost immediately after paying for this, the dashboard lit up like a christmas tree with multiple warnings and the car went into limp mode, lost acceleration and would have been extremely dangerous had we been on the interstate or multi lane road. Took it back to the dealership, ran another diagnostic and determined the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. These repairs cost over $5,000. Recalls have already been put in place for models around this one and Honda should acknowledge these problems as it is wide spread.

My vehicle’s fuel delivery system failed after a recall repair. The in-tank fuel pump was replaced under recall by the dealer, even though I had no drivability complaints, no warning lights, and a full inspection that day confirmed no issues with my vehicle. Immediately after the recall pump replacement, the vehicle developed drivability problems including sputtering, hesitation, and failure to start. On one occasion, the underside of the car overheated and exhaust fumes, including carbon monoxide, entered the cabin. The interior filled with heat and fumes, I became lightheaded, dizzy, and shaky, and nearly lost consciousness while driving. My dog, who was with me, vomited and panted heavily from the exposure. I had to pull over and exit the vehicle immediately. This incident occurred only after the recall pump was replaced and points to faulty installation or malfunction of the recall component, which disrupted the fuel system and caused improper combustion and exhaust handling. On another occasion, the vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection, leaving me at serious risk of being hit by cross traffic. The car now shows a high-pressure fuel pump fault. Although the in-tank pump and the high-pressure pump are in different locations, they are part of the same system: the in-tank pump supplies steady fuel volume and pressure directly to the high-pressure pump. If the in-tank pump is defective, mis-installed, or inconsistent, it causes the high-pressure pump to fail. This made my vehicle unsafe to operate, placing me, my passengers, and other drivers at risk. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership, which documented a high-pressure fuel pump fault, and reviewed by Honda corporate. Components and service records are available for inspection. There were no warning lamps, messages, or drivability issues prior to the recall service, all symptoms appeared immediately afterward.

I have taken my car to the Honda dealership on multiple occasions because my car has stopped accelerating while driving on the interstate. The car will flash the check engine light and completely stop accelerating while driving. I was first told it was the fuel pump that was recalled and waiting over a year on the recalled part and multiple times breaking down while driving they finally replaced the part. After the dealership replaced fuel pump I continued to have problems unfortunately happening more often and worse than before replacing the fuel pump. I was then told my car was misfiring and needing a tune up which would involve replacing all four coil packs and spark plugs. I replaced all of these recommended parts with no resolution to my problem. I have since be told by the dealership my car needs all four fuel injectors replaced after running the diagnostic tests. After doing research it seems to be a common problem with this make and model car. I can’t believe with as many cars with this same issue and the safety issues with completely stalling in the middle of traffic there are no recalls on these cars.

When it is cold outside my acc light comes on and when I started my car the other day it read emissons service problem avoid heavy acceleration and high speed. That was just 1 among 7 other service warning that popped up.

This car is known for its faulty engine. The head gasket tends to blow as early as 40k miles, plenty of people have had this problem and yet there is no recall for the engine or a fix. I was driving on the highway and I was speeding up to merge into traffic and my check engine light started to flash and my car went into limp mode on the highway luckily there wasn't a lot of traffic and I got the chance to pull over and restart my car. I looked online and plenty of people were experiencing this same problem they all had the same answer as well, a blown head gasket. I'm just wondering if someone has to pass away before this gets fixed.

My 2018 Honda Accord ex is currently having fuel injector problems at 41,000 miles. Honda is trying to tell me that fuel injectors do not get affected by the recalled fuel pump. This is very silly because the fuel pump and fuel injectors work together. They want $1,800 to replace the fuel injectors at Honda. I already completed the recall on the fuel pump, and afterward, they told me my injector was running too rich and needed to be replaced for $1800. There are so many Honda 1. 5ts experiencing these same issues, and Honda does not want to do anything about it. I am currently taking my car to a local shop to get the fuel injectors replaced for $1,327. I believe I should be reimbursed since the fuel pump is what caused my fuel injectors to fail. Honda is trying to tell me that two fuel components of a car don’t correlate with each other? this isn’t fair, and I need to be reimbursed.

Head gasket leak after replacing recalled fuel pump. Took my car in for safety recall on fuel pump, just 24 hrs later every check engine light came on and my vehicle slowed to a stop (car went into limp mode). This happened on a busy street with vehicles flying by. I had my vehicle towed to lancaster Honday (CA) where they did my safety recall the day before, they confirmed the head gasket leak. I had my vehicle diagnostics done at a different place as well and they confirmed the bad news, but also said this should not be happening to a new car with 66,000 miles. They advised I call corporate Honda and have them do a goodwill repair where the pay the repair since it is out of its 60,000 miles warranty. I had zero symptoms of this happening before it actually happened. I regularly had maintenance done on my car. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed that Honda just declined my goodwill repair after a month of waiting on them to “review the case”. I couldn’t be more sad and more screwed at this time. $5000 is not something I have right now to take care of something I shouldn’t have to. This is only happening to 1. 5 liter Hondas in my certain year range. I wanted a 2. 0 originally, but the dealership did not have any at the time so I am needing help. I will reach out to the ongoing pending lemon law case in CA to join the base and try to get my car fixed and have Honda do the right thing! I am not happy!.

Check engine lights turned on and turned off all advance features on car because of a faulty fuel injector which is the stock fuel injectors that were designed by Honda.

While trying to accelerate the car loses power. This has happened many times. The Honda dealership has said the system is on back order and they will call me when it’s available. It’s been months. The “jerks”a few times then the check engine light comes on then the car loses power. The dashboard lights are brake system, emission system, electric power steering, hill assist and acc system problem.

Vehicle displayed numerous warning lights and messages like emission system problem and other messages on the cluster gauge. Traveling on the interstate, the vehicle would not accelerate or maintain proper speed. Turned on the emergency flashers to warn other drivers to avoid an accident. Brought it to the dealership and found code p0087 fuel rail pressure too low and informed me that the low pressure fuel pump is bad and needs to be replaced. The vehicle is out of warranty as it has ~85k miles.

Date of incident: [xxx] vehicle information: 2018 Honda Accord VIN: [xxx] incident location: north charleston, SC estimated vehicle mileage at incident: 78,000 miles on [xxx], while starting and driving my vehicle less than one mile, the engine would not accelerate above 10 mph. Following this, multiple service alerts illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was inoperable and had to be towed to hendrick Honda of charleston. The diagnosed issue is a leaking cylinder head gasket. This is the second major engine-related issue this year. In may 2025, I paid over $2,000 to repair a faulty fuel sensor injector. This current repair is estimated to cost over $5,000, bringing my total repair costs for this year to over $7,000 for a five-year-old vehicle with just 78,000 miles. This recurring pattern of significant and costly engine failures, particularly the cylinder head gasket leak, indicates a serious safety defect. It is not an isolated incident, as evidenced by publicly filed NHTSA complaints (11677717) for the same make, model, and year with similar engine failure issues at comparable mileage. The sudden loss of acceleration and inoperability pose a direct safety hazard. I am requesting an investigation into this defect and seeking full reimbursement for the recent and past repairs, totaling over $7,000. These are clearly not standard wear-and-tear issues and should be addressed by the manufacturer. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Head gasket issue, misfiring whiles in the middle of the road.

The fuel injectors became faulty at about 90,000 miles, a mechanic could not identify the issue until about 110,000 miles. A blow head gasket followed.

Car stalled/went into limp mode in the middle of turning onto a busy road almost hit by oncoming traffic. Check engine light came on, as well as all other warnings. Ran diagnostics and show fuel running lean and cyl 2 misfire. Checked all other possible issues related to codes and all signs point to bad fuel injectors.

I was contacted by royal Honda (Honda of harvey, louisiana) about an urgent fuel pump recall on my vehicle. Harris first through text then receive the phone callinstead of scheduling the recall repair, the dealership used the recall notice as leverage to push a $19. 95 oil change special. The representative told me they could “set me up for the oil if I scheduled the recall,” but their focus was on selling the oil change, not correcting the urgent safety recall. When I declined the oil change, they said they were having “technical difficulties,” promised to call me back, and never did. As a result, my recall remains unresolved. This is a misuse of federally mandated recall notices for sales purposes, and it delays urgent safety repairs. Requested action: investigate Honda of harvey / royal Honda for using recall notifications as a sales tactic and ensure my recall is completed promptly.

Advanced driver assistance systems (adas) this has been ongoing since I had the car and have taken to dear ship several times and they say it to happen, so they get the messages and the messages are there. I look it on google and there have several complaints about this issue and I have Honda and they are very rude about it, I have even call here and the young pay no mine what soever told me to call Honda I need mt=y problem resolve please, I am scared to drive my out state , I am [xxx] and live in north carolina and these people cannot drive. I have pictures which I sent as attachments. Somebody please help me. My payments' are 655. 00 a month and need to fill safe driving this vehicle information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

This vehicle has the same 3. 5 litre v-6 that is being recalled engine failures, and stalling in the Honda ridgeline, passport and acuras. Why arent the Honda Accords included? since 2020, this car stops moving forward, and attempts to stall after a complete stop in traffic. I have to feather the gas pedal to reingage the engine, and get the car out of danger. It is an ongoing situation. I am the only driver of the car, and would never letanyone else drive it, due to this. I happens very regularly.

Error code p0087.

Although my VIN currently shows no open recalls (because the fuel pump recall was previously marked completed), the replacement part failed while driving in traffic, leaving me stranded. This vehicle previously had the low-pressure fuel pump replaced under the Honda recall campaign. On August 15, 2025, the replacement fuel pump failed again while driving in rush hour traffic in north dallas, causing the vehicle to stall in a live lane and creating a major safety hazard. I attempted dozens of restarts without success. The vehicle was towed to coit auto center ($80), where they performed a diagnostic test confirming low-pressure fuel pump failure codes — the same component that was recalled. On August 16, 2025, the vehicle was then towed ($223) to john eagle Honda in dallas (the original selling dealer and recall repairer). Honda and the dealership stated the repeat failure was not warrantable because the recall repair had already been performed once. This is unacceptable. A recall remedy that fails is still a recall compliance issue, not a customer-pay repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Honda’s handling of repeat recall failures. The vehicle requires replacement of the defective pump and coverage of labor costs, as well as a full diagnostic inspection (starter, alternator, battery, ignition, ecu, and electronics) to ensure it is safe for road use after the stall and restart attempts.

Dear NHTSA representative, I am writing to formally report a recurring and unresolved fuel system issue with my 2025 Honda Accord ex, which I believe may point to a potential manufacturing defect or calibration problem affecting fuel delivery or measurement accuracy. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have observed a consistent and concerning pattern: whenever I refuel the car to a completely full tank, the fuel gauge almost immediately begins to drop. Within 5 to 10 minutes of operating the vehicle—sometimes within 30 minutes—the gauge already loses one full bar. This happens regardless of driving conditions or distance traveled. Under normal circumstances, I would expect a new Honda Accord to retain a full-tank reading for a reasonable period after refueling and to achieve the expected range between fill-ups. Instead, I am experiencing extremely rapid depletion. At best, each full tank lasts me approximately three to four days of moderate driving, far less than a week. For clarity: •I do not idle the vehicle unnecessarily. •I do not run the air conditioner; I usually drive with the windows open. •I operate the vehicle under normal conditions, without aggressive acceleration or excessive loads. Despite routine 125-point inspections and regular maintenance at authorized service centers, no visible leaks or external faults have been identified. Yet, the issue persists unchanged. The dealer’s technicians have been unable to detect a mechanical cause, and the vehicle’s diagnostic systems have not shown error codes related to the fuel system. Given these circumstances, I am deeply concerned that there may be an underlying defect in the fuel delivery system, fuel-pump calibration, or fuel-level sender module, potentially affecting not just my vehicle but others of the same model year. If the system is over-pressurizing or mismanaging the rate of fuel consumption, that would represent both a safety risk and an efficiency failure. I am therefore requesting that t.

At approximately [xxx]. Pacific, I was traveling southbound in the fastrak lane of the [xxx] departing from pleasant hill, California headed to pleasanton, California. As I began to accelerate, the engine began to sputter. Immediately, the check engine light flashed on, then the dashboard reported a number of issues ranging from brake failure, tpms failure, power assisted steering failure, vehicle stability assist failure and a number of other issues that I have never encountered since purchasing the vehicle. The sudden deceleration almost resulted in other cars impacting my car as this occurred during the morning commute. I was able to safely navigate off of the freeway. I was on speakerphone with Honda when this occurred. Had I not acted swiftly, a potential high speed rear end collision was likely to have occurred. I immediately took the car to concord Honda. The team at concord Honda performed a diagnosis and advised me that my head gasket was leaking water into the combustion chamber which resulted in the sudden loss of power. I was and continue to be dissatisfied with the handling of this issue by Honda as my car has never been handled by another mechanic. My car has a perfect or near perfect maintenance record and should not have a blown head gasket at 80k miles especially since my car is meticulously maintained and serviced by concord Honda.
