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.

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.

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.

I just paid $250 for diagnostic fee and Honda mentioned it’s a head gaskets failure ironically enough for my model it’s a world wide problem I just spent $2k on a turbo charger job on my car last month thinking that was the problem.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord lx 1. 5t. The vehicle has developed an intermittent hard-start condition after sitting overnight. The engine cranks for approximately 5–6 seconds before starting and runs very rough for the first 2–5 seconds before smoothing out. Warm restarts are normal. While driving, the vehicle hesitates and stumbles during acceleration, is slow to build rpm, and fuel economy has noticeably decreased. During one hard acceleration event, the vehicle lost power and the check engine light flashed. I also observed that if I turn the ignition on and allow the fuel pump to prime for several seconds before starting the engine, the vehicle starts noticeably quicker than if I start it immediately. This makes me concerned that the fuel system may not be maintaining proper fuel pressure after the vehicle sits. Because of the hard starting, hesitation, intermittent loss of power during acceleration, and the improvement after allowing the fuel pump to prime, I am submitting this complaint for investigation because these symptoms could create a safety risk when entering traffic or accelerating.

There's a massive recall on Honda fuel pump which is leading to a stall on while driving.

A lot of warning sides are on the dash , has been coming on every since the mileage hit 100k.

While driving my 2023 Honda Accord hybrid, the vehicle suddenly displayed multiple warning messages, including a check engine light, and immediately entered limp mode. Engine power was significantly reduced, making it difficult to accelerate and safely keep up with surrounding traffic. This unexpected loss of power created a potential safety hazard because the vehicle could not respond normally to throttle input. The vehicle was diagnosed by an authorized Honda dealership. The dealer confirmed diagnostic trouble code (dtc) p2101 and determined that the throttle body assembly had failed. The throttle body assembly and gasket were replaced, and a software update was also performed before the vehicle could be safely driven again. I paid approximately $670. 34 for the repair at the Honda dealership. After researching this issue, I found reports from other owners of recent Honda Accord hybrid vehicles experiencing similar p2101 throttle body failures resulting in limp mode. I am submitting this complaint because an unexpected throttle body failure that causes a vehicle to enter limp mode while driving may present a safety risk, especially if it occurs in traffic or during highway driving. I believe this issue should be reviewed to determine whether it affects additional vehicles.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2021 Honda Accord because of a serious safety issue involving the turbocharger and fuel injector system. While driving on the highway, my vehicle experienced a failure related to the turbocharger and fuel injector system, which caused multiple warning sensors to activate and resulted in the vehicle suddenly losing power and becoming unable to continue driving. This unexpected failure forced my car to stop in the middle of the highway, placing me and other motorists at significant risk of a serious accident or fatality. A vehicle should not suddenly become inoperable while traveling at highway speeds due to a mechanical defect. This creates an extremely dangerous situation, especially in heavy traffic where other drivers may not have sufficient time to react. After researching this issue, I discovered that numerous other owners of 2021 Honda Accords have reported similar failures involving the fuel injectors and turbocharger. Given the number of reported incidents and the serious safety risks associated with these failures, I believe this represents a potential defect that warrants investigation. I respectfully request that the national highway traffic safety administration investigate this issue and require Honda to issue a safety recall if appropriate. No driver should have to experience a sudden loss of power that leaves them stranded in moving traffic due to an apparent vehicle defect.

My car keeps losing power suddenly! sometimes it has even started to stall while driving. Also the electrical menu has tons of errors and isn't working. There are several recalls on Honda Accords for the fuel pump and the vehicle assistance module but my VIN doesn't show up.

At 157000 miles I am being forced to replace my fuel injectors and a blown head gasket on my 2018 Honda Accord. As I am sure you are aware, this is an ongoing issue with this model specifically, and yet no recalls have been issued. Please understand that this was a sudden failure as I had no signs there was an engine issue before being forced into limp mode while driving on the freeway. I also had my mother in the car when all of a sudden, my car could not go above 25 mph while in traffic. Thankfully we could pull over safely and were not hurt or killed. All the lights/warning messages on the dash became illuminated before finally settling on an “emissions problem. ” all other warning symbols remained lit. My thermostat started to rise dangerously high especially while idling. I cannot stress how terrifying or dangerous this was. After a diagnostic last week at a Honda dealership, I was told I have a cylinder 3 misfire and that after they pressurized the system, they found a coolant leak which is due to the head gasket. I was also told my fuel injectors (which were just replaced in sept. 2025) are already in need of replacement as well, but that I would only be charged parts for this repair as it would be included with the labor of having to tear down the engine. Despite this, I was still provided an estimate with the full cost of the fuel injectors as well at nearly $1600. My grand total for these repairs came to $6895. I was told at most it would be $6300 – not that that is much of a discount on an issue that should have been recalled. Again, this is a known design flaw and not a result of my neglect.

At approximately 44,000 miles, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard of my 2018 Honda Accord (1. 5l turbocharged engine), including brake system, electric power steering, and driver-assistance/collision-mitigation warnings, accompanied by a rough start and an engine misfire. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer, which performed a diagnostic scan and a borescope inspection. The dealer confirmed engine coolant leaking internally into cylinder 3, a confirmed cylinder 3 misfire (code p0303), and a low coolant reservoir, and advised that the vehicle was not safe to drive. The diagnostic scan also returned fault codes across multiple safety systems, including abs/vsa stability control, electric power steering, the electric brake booster (low-voltage power circuit fault), and the driver-assistance/collision-mitigation system. This is a head gasket failure allowing coolant to enter the cylinders — a failure mode widely reported on this engine — and it occurred at low mileage, creating a risk of engine misfire, stalling, and loss of power. No crash, fire, or injury has occurred. The dealer's repair order documenting these findings is available on request. I have reported this to the Honda corporate, and they are not responding and stalling the delivery or any update on the case. It has been 3 weeks, and it is causing prolonged inconvience and safety issue to me and my family.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord equipped with the 1. 5l turbocharged engine. At approximately 53,666 miles, the vehicle developed a rough idle, engine shaking during startup, intermittent check engine light, and a cylinder 1 misfire code (p0301). I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealership confirmed coolant intrusion into cylinder #1 after performing a cooling system pressure test and borescope inspection. The dealership determined that the engine has a failed head gasket and provided a repair estimate exceeding $6,000. The dealership advised that the vehicle should not be driven because coolant entering the cylinder can cause further engine damage, loss of power, engine stalling, overheating, or complete engine failure while driving. I believe this is a safety concern because the engine may misfire, lose power, or fail unexpectedly during vehicle operation. A major engine failure at only 53,666 miles is not consistent with normal wear and tear. I am submitting this complaint so that NHTSA can investigate potential defects involving coolant intrusion, head gasket failure, and cylinder misfires in Honda Accord vehicles equipped with the 1. 5l turbocharged engine.

For the last few months I have had an intermittent issue with my 2016 ex-l v6 Accord. It started as occasional stalling at traffic lights. The car would stall out, and after about 20 seconds I could turn the car back on, and drive without issues. Sometimes the issue would repeat itself multiple times in a day, and then go weeks without another instance. Then one day I was driving the car and had another stalling event. I had the car towed to the Honda dealership and they were unable to replicate or diagnose the issue. A few weeks later, I had another stalling event. I turned the car back on, and was able to continue driving. I got on to the interstate, and then even though the car was still on, when I push the gas, nothing happened, no acceleration or increase in rpms. When I pulled over, the car would stall out. I would wait about a minute and turn it back on, and it would be drivable. This happened about four times. Then as I was headed into the tunnel, the car shut off entirely, and I lost power braking completely. I nearly got into an accident with the vehicles in front of me inside the tunnel at highway speeds. This was father's day, June 21, 2026. I pulled off the interstate, and had the car towed to the dealership again. The dealership was unable to find any issues. The problem happened again today (08/19/26). I was driving the vehicle and was unable to accelerate while pushing the gas, and had multiple stallouts in traffic. I was able to quickly get the vehicle to the dealership, and they finally were to able replicate the issue. They pulled fuel from the fuel line and found it to be much darker than gasoline, with sediment inside. They pulled off the fuel pump and saw that the filter was clogged, but did not fully understand why. The filter is attached directly to the pump itself. The uploaded image is the fuel they pulled from the line.

Unable to use cruise control unable to use lane control unable to use tire pressure gauge unable to use auto brake system car shakes due to a sudden decrease in engine performance. Turbocharger issues powertrain system issues ecm failure.

There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. My family was out of town, when the fire occurred. However, the neighbors were home and their home also sustained some damage. My home was a total loss. On June 16, 2026 I received a call while out of town that my home was on fire and it was a total loss. Statements from the neighbors and fire marshal were that the garage was on fire and then spread to the rest of the home. The only thing in the garage that could have started the fire was my hybrid vehicle.

I am the original owner of a 2020 Honda Accord 1. 5 turbo. The vehicle has developed a check engine light, rough engine operation with misfires, and reduced fuel economy at mileage: 72,207. The vehicle was diagnosed at Honda of reseda with failed fuel injectors. American Honda reviewed the matter under case #16435337 and offered a one-time goodwill accommodation that would require an out-of-pocket payment of $1,058. 58 plus applicable fees and taxes. I respectfully declined the offer because fuel injector failures causing these exact symptoms appear to be a known and recurring issue on many 2018–2022 Honda Accord 1. 5 turbo models, often occurring at relatively low mileage. Honda has issued technical communications regarding injector-related diagnostic trouble codes (such as p030x and p0172) on these vehicles. I am filing this complaint to document the defect and request a thorough investigation so that a proper recall or comprehensive remedy can be implemented for all affected owners.
