Other Fuel System Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

I am submitting this complaint regarding an ongoing safety concern with my 2021 Honda Accord. Multiple lights indicate engine system problems which includes, check engine light, car jerks at acceleration, seat sensor recall. I took my vehicle to multiple shops including the Honda dealership. However, they were unsuccessful to identify the cause. Multiple problems such as turbo, belt, fuel system problem constantly comes up. I have already replaced both fuel pumps and see that it was recalled before but just not my VIN, please add. I am concerned about the potential risk to myself, my daughter and my passengers and believe these issues warrant further investigation to help prevent possible accident or injury.

Within the last year, Honda changed out my fuel pump as I told them I had a problem with acceleration. This problem is ongoing to where I have gotten a cracked head gasket and now they are saying that my fuel injectors are bad. I’m now thinking isn’t that related to the fuel pump that you replaced. I’m frustrated and tired of paying for an ongoing problem. The head gasket and fuel pump were on Honda. However, I paid there different shops to fix this same issue and last week Honda over $2,200 to fix an oil leak that I’m not convinced that I had. After paying to get my car fixed by Honda on Friday and getting my car back, I drove home. I stayed in over the weekend and only drove to walmart that is down the street from my home. On Monday morning, my car had trouble picking up speed as I got on the freeway and kept stalling on the freeway. As I was freaking out, I tried to remain calm enough to turn the car off and on again to start going again. Keep in mind that other cars are flying around me and trying to avoid hitting my car. When I called Honda, they told me that my car was fixed like I did something to it. I told them that I barely drove the car after picking it up and it still seemed a little hesitant as it was moving on Friday evening.

On July 2021 my fuel pump motor was replaced due to a recall . My car has a raw smell of gas coming from my back seat . I took it to the dealer on 10-24-26 they wanted to charge me 200 to check it which I thought it was crazy due to they had replaced the motor on the fuel pump and I asked to talk to manager he said it was replaced on 2021 and it’s not covered no more . I think if it was replaced maybe the motor or parts that they used where defective. They should check with out charging me.

Fuel injectors went totally bad at 93,000 miles on a car that has been very well taken care of and serviced several times a year. Daily driver, no speeding or stunting or anything like that. Got into car and fuel injectors went bad and couldnt accelarate at all, all of the sudden. Couldve been very dangerous. This is a larger issue and there should be a recall. Heard about this problem, extremely disappointed.

On October 12, 2026, my 2024 Honda Accord sport-l hybrid experienced a serious and potentially dangerous loss of propulsion while driving. Without warning, multiple warning lights and system malfunction messages appeared simultaneously on the dashboard. The vehicle then switched to electric-only (ev) operation, and the gasoline engine was no longer providing propulsion. I continued operating the vehicle using the remaining hybrid battery charge. As the battery charge decreased from approximately 1–2 bars to empty, the vehicle lost its ability to propel itself and eventually came to a rolling stop. After stopping, I turned the vehicle off and restarted it. The vehicle subsequently resumed normal operation, and most of the warning lights disappeared. However, the emissions system warning remained illuminated. After researching this incident, I discovered NHTSA safety recall 25v785000 (Honda recall tn2), which affects certain 2023–2025 Honda Accord hybrid vehicles. According to the recall, a software error involving the integrated control module (icm) may cause the system to reset while driving, resulting in a loss of drive power. The symptoms described in this recall closely resemble what I experienced. However, when I contacted Honda, I was informed that this recall had already been completed on my vehicle. I am extremely concerned that my vehicle experienced a loss of propulsion despite Honda reporting that the applicable safety recall remedy had already been performed. This incident presents a significant safety risk, particularly if a similar failure occurs while traveling at highway speeds, navigating an intersection, or driving in heavy traffic. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the existing recall remedy adequately addresses this potential safety defect, whether the software update was properly implemented, and whether other Honda Accord hybrid owners have experienced similar failures after recall completion.

A mechanic inspected or evaluated the vehicle and told me that the small fuel filter/strainer inside the fuel pump assembly may be causing the problem. The vehicle has intermittent starting difficulties, rough engine operation, and sudden loss of engine power while driving. The accelerator sometimes becomes unresponsive until I pull over, turn off the engine, and restart the vehicle. I am concerned about a possible fuel delivery system malfunction and the risk of losing power unexpectedly while driving. I am requesting an investigation into the fuel pump assembly and its internal filter.

The car hesitates upon acceleration and when it “misses” enough it will flash the engine on the dashboard, and not allow any further acceleration, going into “limp mode”. All the safety controls error on the message center and dashboard warnings all come on, even though it’s only the acceleration/transmission that’s affected. Not sure if it’s fuel injectors or a computer issue, but it’s absolutely dangerous upon entering a highway and hoping to not have system failures, that result in limp mode. I’ve been carrying a 10 mm socket for disconnecting the battery and rebooting the system, when needed. It only helps for a short while.

Reporting fraudulent safety recall compliance & hazardous repair by Honda of manhasset (invoice #317524). 1. Recall 23v-858 (fuel pump): dealership registered recall as completed & service manager verbally insisted it was done. However, my vehicle's continuous dashcam footage proves fuel pump replacement was never performed. Faced with video evidence, the advisor admitted work wasn't done because the part was out of stock, claiming a "billing error. " invoice reprint says "recall not performed, part not in stock" yet they initially processed it, leaving an immediate engine stall risk. 2. Software campaign & radar failure (service bulletin 21-068): dealership performed mandatory Honda sensing update for millimeter wave radar, wiping old calibration parameters. Per bulletin 21-068 (pg 3), the repair is not complete until the radar is re-calibrated & the warning light disappears. Instead of performing the radar aiming, the technician left safety systems locked with dtc p2583-76. I authorized a $215 diagnostic fee, but despite having the scanner connected during the update, the technician failed to follow Honda's official troubleshooting protocol to resolve the code and finish the calibration, returning the vehicle with disabled emergency braking features. 3. False physical diagnosis: staff verbally claimed the radar bracket was "bent" to blame a prior impact. Challenged for physical proof, they admitted performing no physical inspection, stating they "assumed" it was bent solely because the scanner showed p2583-76. This is a blatant lie to cover up their failure to follow factory troubleshooting workflow for this specific dtc, which dictates aiming the radar, not fabricating physical damage to justify leaving the safety repair incomplete.

Supplemental data for active odi case #xxx. Systemic safety recall falsification (NHTSA 23v-858) this submission supplements active odi case #xxx against Honda of manhasset (facility #xxx). On xxx, the facility certified fuel pump safety recall 23v-858 as fully completed to claim warranty credits. Vehicle dashcam recordings irrefutably prove the technician never opened the hood, never disconnected the 12v battery (mandatory safety step to release fuel pressure), and never stood in front of the car. When confronted on xxx with video evidence, advisor [xxx] manually altered the invoice to "not performed", falsely blaming a system error/lack of stock, despite parts records proving the recall kit arrived xxx. System admin then issued a corrective invoice "reprint #1" stating "recall not perform. Part not in stock", dynamic-reopening the VIN nationally to evade corporate detection. This constitutes severe corporate fraud. Compressed adas software tolerances and procedural omission the secondary fraud involves an unneeded quote of $1,237. 19 and illegal $233. 55 diagnostic fee under false pretense of a "bent radar bracket". Independent engineering audit disproved hardware failure, establishing true 0. 00° baseline. Technical root cause of dtc p2583-76 was the recall update, migrating the car from the factory 2018 software layout—which possessed a permissive vertical threshold up to ±3. 0°—directly to hyper-strict program 36802-tva-a190, restricting the window to an unyielding 0. 0°±0. 1°.

I am reporting repeated, unpredictable loss of engine power and propulsion in my 2019 Honda Accord touring 2. 0t (approximately 146,000 miles). The exact cause remains unknown. On xxx, while driving on [xxx] near [xxx], my vehicle suddenly lost acceleration at highway speeds and eventually stalled. The vehicle repeatedly lost power, experienced crank-no-start conditions, and at one point could barely maintain 10 mph. I was stranded and had to have the vehicle transported to a Honda dealership in [xxx]. Diagnostic code p0087 (fuel rail/system pressure too low) was recorded multiple times, including at 70–74 mph. Numerous warnings appeared, including emissions, brake system, electric power steering, stability assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, and road departure mitigation. The unpredictable loss of propulsion creates a serious collision risk, especially on highways and in traffic. The Honda dealership initially could not reproduce the failure. After replacing the spark plugs at my expense, the vehicle was returned to me. Approximately 23 miles later, the malfunction returned, and I immediately brought the vehicle back without clearing any codes. Honda subsequently diagnosed and replaced the high-pressure fuel pump at my expense, but the loss-of-power issue continued. The vehicle previously received Honda’s in-tank fuel pump safety recall repair in may 2025. Despite that recall remedy and subsequent repairs, the vehicle continues to malfunction. The exact cause remains undetermined. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Honda dealership. Repair records and diagnostic information are available, and the vehicle can be made available for inspection upon request. I am requesting an investigation into this recurring safety-related loss of propulsion. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

In may of 2024, we got a recall letter for an inoperable fuel pump from Honda automobile division, & we did not get a replacement. They were short on supply, & those who experienced symptoms as engine light and may have rough engine starts were the priorities. We didn’t get a follow up after 60 days when we received the letter. Now my 2018 Accord has an engine light on, and the car starts up roughly.

Unknown. I was informed that my fuel pump is faulty and as a result my engine needs to be replaced.

On 09/18/2026, at 103,000 miles, my vehicle suffered a dangerous powertrain failure where numerous dashboard warning lights illuminated and the car suddenly dropped into "limp mode" with an immediate loss of acceleration while in active traffic. I took the vehicle to a certified Honda dealership, where technicians officially diagnosed the issue as a "fuel system too rich" condition (diagnostic trouble code p0172). The dealership confirmed that the factory-installed direct fuel injectors are failing prematurely and leaking raw fuel into the engine cylinders. This manufacturing defect causes severe engine oil dilution, where gasoline contaminates the oil pan, creating an immediate stalling hazard and an extreme risk of a high-speed rear-end collision. Online owner forums and dedicated global social media groups indicate that thousands of other 10th-generation Accord owners are experiencing this identical safety defect. Honda corporate has formally denied goodwill assistance, treating this severe engineering flaw as standard wear and tear. The vehicle and failed components are fully available for inspection upon federal request.

The high-pressure and low pressure fuel pump went out on the car and needed to be fixed. There is an open recall on 2020 Honda Accord however my VIN number is not a part of the recall and I think it should be as I have had to fix my low pressure and high high-pressure fuel pump before 100,000 miles.

While driving home from work in my 2024 Honda Accord ex 1. 5t, multiple warning lights suddenly came on on the dashboard. Shortly afterward, I began smelling a strong gasoline/fuel odor inside the passenger compartment. I stopped the vehicle and got out. I could also smell gasoline outside the vehicle. I opened the hood and the gasoline odor was still noticeable from the engine compartment. Because I was concerned about the safety of the vehicle, I went to the nearest o’reilly auto parts and had the vehicle scanned. The diagnostic scan showed p0172 (fuel system too rich, bank 1), p0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), p0301 (cylinder 1 misfire), p0302 (cylinder 2 misfire), and p0303 (cylinder 3 misfire). The vehicle had approximately 82,063 miles at the time. The gasoline odor inside and outside the vehicle is especially concerning because of the potential risk of a fuel leak and fire. I checked my VIN for recalls and no open recall is currently listed for my vehicle. I am reporting this incident because I believe the fuel odor, rich fuel condition, multiple misfires, and dashboard warning lights may represent a safety-related fuel-system problem that should be investigated.

I’m having the same mechanical issues as everybody else all dashboard lights on and doesn’t even let me drive the vehicle. It gets stuck.

When I go to start the vehicle, it takes multiple seconds to actually start. It continues to turn over and over before finally starting up. This happens 3-4 times a day depending on how often I drive. This also creates a bad gas fume, fuel smell. This doesn't seem like something that a 2024 Honda should experience. I am a new owner to the car and have not taken it to a certified Honda dealership. It was purchased used from a non-Honda dealership. I did reach out to the local Honda dealership though, asking if this is normal for the car to act like this. I am awaiting a response.

Vehicle dashboard lights up with multiple warnings, power loss/limp mode in traffic and while driving. Dealership said it’s a very common problem but Honda refuses to make a recall. Technician says it is most likely caused by faulty fuel pump which is already recall that caused damage to the injectors.

While driving on a bridge at under 20 mph, the vehicle's head gasket failed, causing the engine to overheat and coolant to leak from within the engine. The vehicle threw diagnostic trouble code p2601 and immediately entered "limp mode," severely cutting engine power and vehicle speed. Because this happened on a bridge with no shoulder to safely pull over, the sudden loss of power created a serious safety hazard — the vehicle could not maintain a safe speed or keep pace with surrounding traffic, increasing the risk of being struck by other vehicles. The vehicle was taken to a tampa Honda (11000 n florida Ave), where the failure was confirmed to be a blown head gasket that allowed coolant to leak into the engine cylinders. The head gasket and related components were replaced at a cost of approximately $5,000 to restore the vehicle to safe operating condition. The failed component is no longer available for inspection in its failed state, as replacement was required to make the vehicle drivable. No dealer, manufacturer representative, police officer, or insurance adjuster has inspected the vehicle; only at tampa Honda facility that performed the repair diagnosed and confirmed the head gasket failure. Prior to this incident, no warning lamps or symptoms were noted — the p2601 code and limp mode activation occurred simultaneously with the sudden overheating and coolant loss, with no advance warning. This failure is consistent with a widely reported defect pattern among Honda vehicles with similar engines, where the head gasket fails prematurely and allows coolant to enter the cylinders. Honda has not issued a recall or acknowledged a manufacturing defect despite numerous consumer reports describing the same failure mode.

I'm in [xxx] and just bought this 2019 Honda Accord unaware all Hondas 2018-2022 are lemon specially Accord turbo 1. 5 I was fully scammed. [xxx] rains everyday, so every time the car gets wet all safety warning lights, all sensor lights turn on and the vehicle stalls leaving me in the middle of the street and unable to drive. This situation start happening since they updated adas sw pud software sensors on xxx also replaced fuel pump that failed, I replaced the battery and still the same, some people say its an electrical problem others say its the turbo charger others say its the abs module others say its the front radar that need to be cleaned others say its the fuel injectors others say its the head gasket others say connectors get wet. I'm suffering from anxiety and depression because of this, and unable to afford al these expenses, I'm asking for Honda to fix tall this mess and compensation for my emotional distress.

American Honda motors CO is recalling Honda Accord turbos for fuel pump failure. Mine 2019 Honda Accord 1. 5 turbo failed high-pressure fuel pump on 8/12/2026 and miami lakes Honda service center charged me to replace the high-pressure fuel pump. I requested Honda corporation the reimbursement and the refused because they say it's caused by cranking the vehicle, they let me know I can't crank/start the vehicle because it damages the pump (I have the email they sent me for confirmation. ) and repair invoice as well. Also, the car has been smelling gasoline, the pump developed cracks in the solenoid core, which lead to fuel leaks, fuel smell while idling or driving, and an increased risk of fire, crash, or injury. I'm just requesting the reimbursement.

The car was driving fine and then all of the dashboard lights came on. The car wouldn’t drive faster than 20 mph. The dealership said it was a head gasket and injector problem. They quoted me $6000.

2019 Honda Accord, the transmission is failing, slipping gears, delayed or harsh shifting, unusual noises, warning lights on, transmission or check engine light illuminate, signaling potential issues, fluid leaks I have a 2019 Honda Accord, the fuel pump failed and the Honda service center in miami charged me $1308. 00 and it was supposed to be a free recall. I need help, the car is falling apart. Thanks.

I was driving on the highway in michigan, the speed limit is 70 mph. All of a sudden, I noticed that my car acceleration was not working. It ended up my engine misfired and in doing so, I could not go more than 20 mph on the actual highway!!! it was absolutely terrifying, even when I put on my emergency lights, I had to find a place to safely pull aside. I still had to pull out in front of someone to try to get off the exit, so pulling out in front of someone at 20 mph on the highway was petrifying. Once, I finally was able to pull into a safe place. I immediately called my insurance company and Honda about the misfiring of my engine. My car was then towed to a Honda dealership, where technicians diagnosed a blown head gasket caused by coolant leaking into a cylinder. The only warning light was the “check engine” flashing light when I was unable to drive more than 20 mph. My vehicle went limp. The repair required replacement of the head gasket at significant personal expense about $6k +.

Car shuts off at highway speeds and in stop and go traffic like it has a fuel delivery issue. Car sputters and then loses all power. I know there was a previous recall on this vehicle but I’m curious whether it was actually fixed on my car specifically.

My Accord reported multiple warnings at engine start up (check engine light, warnings about cruise control, etc. ), and the engine ran rougher than normal. I immediately drove to a Honda dealer for service. The Honda dealer, checkered flag Honda of norfolk, virginia, diagnosed a blown head gasket in cylinder 2, which allowed all coolant to drain into the engine. They also indicated that fuel injectors and spark plugs were compromised and required replacement. The vehicle has approximately 75,000 miles, has received regular maintenance, and was operated in normal driving conditions.

Vehicle experienced sudden loss of power/stalling while driving due to a failing fuel pump assembly. This mirrors the exact safety risks of NHTSA recall 19v060000, but my 4-cylinder VIN is currently excluded. It also matches nhsta recall# 23v-858 derailed l4 2. 4l Accords but still my VIN is excluded.

My car was stalling on the highway not going over 40, a perfectly maintained 88k mile car that is stock and only used for work and light leisure. The weak engine head gasket is to blame for coolant seeping into cyclinder 3. A very known defect with the 1. 5 turbocharged engines recently. The safety of me and passengers was at risk because that’s a 50mph+ highway and my car didn’t go to 50. Yes the problem was confirmed by dealership / manufacturer. Zero warning lights to this day.

Fuel injector began failing resulting in a loss of engine power.

On July 9-11, 2026, an authorized Honda dealership performed Honda safety recall 24-040 involving the fuel pump motor and Honda campaign 21-076 involving replacement of the fuel tank. Approximately five days and 371 miles after the fuel tank replacement, the gasoline pump nozzle became stuck in the fuel filler pipe while refueling. I returned to the same dealership on July 16, 2026. The dealership documented that the pipe guide was “misaligned inside the filler neck” and was “obstructing the fuel hose while refueling the tank. ” the dealership reinstalled the filler-neck guide in the correct position and replaced the flap main set under warranty. This problem occurred almost immediately after the dealership had replaced the fuel tank. I have continued experiencing unresolved concerns involving the vehicle after these fuel-system repairs. Because the dealership's own records document a misaligned component shortly after its fuel-tank repair, I no longer have confidence in returning the vehicle to that specific dealership for additional work on the same system. I escalated the matter to american Honda corporate, including a case manager and a supervisor, and requested assistance obtaining a resolution without returning to the same dealership. Those efforts have not produced a satisfactory remedy. I have been directed back toward dealership-level service despite explaining my documented concerns with the prior repair. I am requesting assistance ensuring that the vehicle receives a safe and effective repair through another qualified authorized Honda facility and that the continuing fuel-system concern is properly evaluated. Repair orders documenting the recall work, subsequent misaligned filler-neck component, and corrective repair are available and are being submitted with this complaint.

My car stalled stopped and takes a while to turn on , all lights turned on . . Coded came back and showed it was fuel pressure regulator / fuel pump. I believe it is part of the recalls put in place for other Honda Accord lx as well since I’m having same problem.

Had in tank fuel pump replaced as recall stated. After 1 year went bad again. Honda refused to cover the repair. My car stalled on the interstate in traffic running around 50 to 60 mph.

It started with multiple lights glowing on my dash. Then progressively the car felt sluggish and ultimately while driving to church in July the car cut off while I was making a turn. Some kind gentleman pushed my car helping me get out the intersection.

The fueling system is/has failed. The car randomly stops accelerating while on the highway. Yes, it's available for inspections. The car has stopped accelerating while I was on i95, causing others to have slammed on breaks & swerved to avoid hitting me. Yes. Not yet. No, they only appeared after the failure cause the automatic functions to be disabled as well.
