Power Train Problems of Honda Accord - part 2

While waiting for the recalled parts to be in stock for the fuel pump module, my car starting running rough and going into limp mode several times a day. Thus causing near accidents with my children in the vehicle. After getting the fuel pump module recall fixed I asked and had to pay for a diagnostics test to see what was causing the car to do this. We were told it was the fuel injectors and were quoted $2000 to replace those. That was done 4 days ago at the dealer, and it happened again yesterday! we took the car back to the dealer today and they have just informed us we need to replace the head gasket & turbo and had a coolant leak causing these issues?! why that was never seen in the original diagnostics test nor a problem 4 days ago, but after spending $2000 we did not have to keep our family and others safe, we are now being told it will cost over $5000 to fix these now issues. We can’t afford that and now I don’t know what I am going to do! Honda needs to step up to the plate and take some culpability here and be responsible for what clearly appears to be a much needed recall for 2018 Accords! this is ridiculous. And for the service advisor to tell us this happens all of the time to these, if not daily, should speak volumes!.

Randomly, my car will start throwing many warning signs when I crank my car. Then it magically disappears after 2 days. Also I drive my car past 40mph and the engine light came on and then I could no longer accelerate. My car was slowing down while I was on the freeway. I pulled over, turned my car off then back on. Everything is back to normal. Next day, I crank my car, warning signs again and then disappears. I took my car to the auto shop and they could not find any codes. I have videos and pictures. There’s also a Honda facebook group with my same model car reporting the same behavior.

Electrical component malfunctioning knock sensor: code error: p0325 I noticed my check engine light had came on but wasn't on for long and had turned off on the dash. A few weeks later the check engine light reappeared and did not go back off. Upon this happening I noticed a major difference in my vehicle performance. The fuel consumption had significantly increased, I recognized these shake like vibrations when sitting in park or at a complete stop. A "knocking noise" I would hear coming from the engine, as well as rough idling almost as if there was a "stalling/hesitant" idling that sounded very off. Adding a very noticeable reduced power from the engine that was not there when the check engine light was not on. This has been a confirmed malfunction and should be replaced due to the importance the knock sensor provides to the engine of this vehicle. This was confirmed by an employee at a parts store, with there computer code reader. Upon request for inspection; I have open availability. Confirmed: March 4, 2025 the additional code provided also stated the catalytic converter is recommended to be replaced as well. Engine related systems that power the vehicle such as (catalyst pipes) powertrain (previously recalled prior time frame) due to this being a numerously reported issue with many other owners of this same vehicle I own. There is a reoccurring issue that absolutely goes hand in hand with the performance and job of the also stated ongoing problems I'm facing. The knock sensor is a vital part to the powertrain system that helps optimize engine performance and protects it from harmful knocking by monitoring combustion irregularities. Potentially if these are current issues, and have caused any kind of damage, the damage alone effects as follows: -wiring issues, internal malfunction, physical damage , corrosion from exposure to engine fluids, internal short circuit, mechanical damage, faulty wiring,excessive vibrations, wear and tear from use.

I was driving approximately 60 mph on a local highway when my the check engine light came on. The dashboard then started flashing warning messages for multiple error messages stating that many features were failing such as power steering, acceleration, brakes, lane assist, stability assist, and more. My car then lost power and decelerated, coming to a complete stop in the middle of the highway. I was unable accelerate or steer my vehicle to the side of the road. No one hit me but this could have easily caused an accident where either myself or others were hurt. I turned the car off and when I restarted it, my dashboard message stated that I had a brake system problem and that I should see my dealer. I was able to drive to the dealer where they ran a diagnostic and could not replicate the problem. They only stated it was a loss of communication in the computer but that "it would probably not happen again. " they did nothing to identify what could have caused the loss in communication and said if it happened again, to bring the car back. I plan to take it to a certified mechanic to inspect the vehicle but I feel very unsafe driving a car that may lose power.

Scanned for codes. Found p0303, p0299, and p2243 stored. Found coolant entering cylinder 3. Found excessive play in the waste gate rod and found a/f sensor is not responding. Needs head gasket. Vehicle starts up and runs rough. All alerts on alerts on dash on cust states check engine light on. Honda sensing alerts on.

The vehicle unexpectedly stalled - lost power while driving and the brake system warning light came on. There were no warning lights, messages or other issues with the vehicle prior to this failure. Was fortunate that the car coasted to a stop on the side of a busy road with no traffic following behind. The vehicle was then towed to a Honda dealership for inspection. Was advised by the service department that there was a software update - unbeknown to us. The error code was cleared and the service department completed the pcm update per service bulletin 25-017.

Christmas tree dashboard with all lights on appeared a few weeks ago. Took car to auto shops twice. First time I was told coil 1 for cylinder 1 was misfiring, replaced with new coil. Lights did not go away, got my codes read again and was same error message of coil 1 misfire. In the past week car would not accelerate past 15mph after start up. I was immediately concerned it was a head gasket issue since that is a very known defect for my exact make and model of vehicle. Took into my Honda dealership where I purchased my Accord brand new. Was just told fuel injectors need to be replaced even though vehicle has been maintained properly. To me this seems this is directly correlated with the current fuel pump recall issue, I asked the service advisor if that was the case and she said she’d get back with me, and that she’s currently waiting to hear back from my lifetime powertrain warranty company (fidelity warranty services) to see if the fuel injector replacement is covered by them. If this make and model has time and time again been known to have faulty fuel injectors and head gasket issues that directly put the drivers safety at risk and end up causing thousands of dollars in repairs, Honda needs to take responsibility for rushing out vehicles without properly testing them first. If fuel injectors are not covered under my warranty, I will be contacting american Honda to assist me with the cost of the repairs.

Recurring issue where car loses all power to the powertrain, brakes, etc. While driving. Electrical systems inside the car and lights still functions, but complete loss of system to accelerate or keep the car going. After incident, computerized dashboard scrolls through multiple errors and then repeats (I have video). When I turn the car to the off position and then restart, only a single error for the braking system shows on the dash/computer system. If I turn it off again, and then back on, all errors are gone and the car drives "normally. " dealership could not repeat the issue and said computer system did not show any errors, even when I showed them pictures of the errors. First occurrence was 3/6/2024 on freeway during rush hour traffic, ~55mph. Car had 8010 miles on it. Second occurrence was 1/15/2025 on side highway where speed limit was 55mph; I was traveling about 40mph. Third occurrence on 2/7/2025 was just starting from a red light at an intersection and just made it through the intersection when car failed. Taking to dealership again for diagnosis.

On Friday, [xxx], while leaving a mcdonald’s in charlotte, nc, my car began to slow down and for different lights came on on my dashboard. I was unable to go over 45 miles per hour but was able to get my car to my sisters home that was a few miles away from where I started having car trouble. I was able to have the car towed to hendrick Honda in charlotte nc where they determined my car’s high pressure fuel pump went out. There are recalls on other 2017 Honda Accords but not mine. I get routine oil changes and have never had an issue like this before. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6.

The transmission on my 2015 Honda Accord failed and I was stranded on the side of the road. The engine started to accelerate on its own and soon after the gas peddle was not working and I was forced to pull over. My safety was put at risk because I had to pull over on the highway late at night and was stranded. The transmission failed and the issue code is p1890. I found details on this known issue here: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2016/mc-10084981-2280. Pdf there is no recall but it is a known issue, and I believe it is dangerous for Honda to allow these cars to remain on the road without new transmissions. According to the link I posted before, the only fix is a new transmission. I believe this should be issued as a recall so other Accord owners (2014-2016 years) do not face the same problem as I did. This problem was fix in 2017. There was no physical damage done to the car and the car received routine maintenance. T.

I was driving at about 40 mph and the car lost all power and stopped in the middle of the road. Most all of the warning lights were on like low air pressure, reduced brakes and a brake problem light etc. Turned the car off and restarted and drove another 5 miles with the brake problem light still on. Stopped and restarted car and the brake light went off and all seems normal now. From my reading on Honda Accord forums it might be a bad icm unit? will be contacting a Honda dealer soon.

I was on the highway with moderate traffic. My car would no longer accelerate due to a blown head gasket out of nowhere, I was on the far left lane and had to traverse over 5 lanes in moderate traffic while other drivers on the highway were going 60+ mph. This is a common issue among Honda Accords with the 1. 5 engines.

The cvt power train has a vibration at 55 and over. Also when backing up there is a loud high pitched sound. The car has only 8600 hundred miles. There is no excuse for this issue with the car. Thanks for your time.

I believe my vehicle should be included in a recall (safety recall: 2013-15 Accord driveshaft inspection) that it is not currently included in. This is a major safety concern that the recall may not include all affected vehicles including mine. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? right driveshaft snapped while I was driving rendering the vehicle without propulsion, as well as allowing the vehicle to roll while in park how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? this occurred while I was driving and I lost the ability to move the vehicle. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes the Honda dealership confirmed the driveshaft snapped. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have a picture of the snapped driveshaft and the Honda dealership inspected it and provided me with a description of the issue. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? there were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Mid October 2023, we driving on the freeway and the car started to slow down on its own. We could not accelerate to match the speed of cars around us or to get the speed limits in a 55 to 65 zone, making it dangerous for us and others to continue driving on the freeway at extremely slow/low speeds. We towed it the dealership, who said it was defective spark plugs. This car was only 4 years old with extremely low millage and the spark plugs should've last a lot longer. They changed the spark plugs under warranty. Late November 2024, we were getting off the freeway and the check engine light came on but there were no service codes. Everything was running normally except for the engine was making a loud noise. We parked at a shopping center and approximately 30 minutes later, restarted the car and all these messages and icons appeared for: vehicle stability assistant system problem, hill start assistant problem, acc, collision mitigation breaking system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, emissions system problem, tpms, brake system problem, electric power steering system problem. Towed it dealership and after an hour of diagnostics testing, they said it’s the spark plugs again! just a little over a year and 2 out of 4 spark plugs are bad again. This is not right. We hardly drive this car and it’s only a little over a year since the spark plugs were replaced and a little over 5 years since we got the car brand new. Spark plugs are supposed to last 10 years or 100,000 miles and we’re not close to either. This time they said it's not covered under warranty and is over $800.

While driving on the highway with my family on Tuesday, [xxx] the continuously variable transmission (cvt) failed and created a dangerous and hazardous situation for my family and others on the road. The d3 warning light and check engine light appeared and simultaneously the vehicle shifted to a lower gear. The vehicle was only operable at a lower speed and gear. We called the nearest Honda dealership for guidance, and they advised us to proceed slowly to the dealership. We drove the very stressful distance with our hazard lights on the entire way while we drove at a lower rate of speed on the highway. This slow rate of speed also posed a hazard as well. The vehicle was serviced and inspected by the manchester Honda in manchester, CT, and they determined that a transmission replacement was necessary due to an internal failure of transmission assy causing drivability concern. The vehicle had only 69,382 miles and was properly maintained. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While driving approximately 30mph the car lost all accelleration/power and slowed to a stop while still in drive. First, this put me in an extremely dangerous position in the middle of an extremely busy highway with cars almost hitting me several times. Dashboard displayed numerous flashing error messages. Some that I recall were: low tire pressure tpms, abs, brake system, power, and hold. I put the car in park and drive again and it still wouldn't move. After turning it off and back on, I continued to have "brake system brake system problems. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer. I. " displayed. The car did resume driving functions and allowed me to get out of middle of road. Once stopping again and recycling, the warning signals went out and I drove home.

On three separate occasions (the most recent of which was on Saturday), my vehicle’s dashboard lit up with various alerts, including “brake system problem”, “tpms problems”, and “vehicle stability assist system problems”. At the same time, the vehicle’s accelerator completely stopped working. The issue would only resolve itself (and the alerts would go away) after I pulled over and restarted the vehicle twice. This issue happened on Saturday (on a highway), in March 2024 (driving out of a parking lot), and in February 2024 (on the highway). This is a safety issue because not being able to use the accelerator on the highway could potentially have lead to a serious crash. The dealers have been unable to replicate the issue. I've brought in the vehicle to dealerships on three occasions and have been told that because the alert wasn't actively visible when I brought it in after the fact.

While taking off from a full stop, the vehicle's transmission shifted violently to the point where it felt as if the car was rear-ended. This is an issue for which I've filed numerous complaints before with NHTSA knowing about the problem by now, and having done nothing to initiate a recall. I have also taken the car to the dealer who failed to properly diagnose the issue. Finally, another mechanic did provide me with an entry from Honda where they sort of admit to the issue. The fix, of course, is to replace the valve body or the whole transmission. Hence, due to NHTSA sitting on their thumbs, thousands (maybe, hundreds of thousands) are now stuck with a vehicle which will need a multi-thousand dollar repair outside the warranty and NHTSA did not properly investigate the issue and push the manufacture to issue a recall.

Hi, I would like to address two issues separately for my 2018 Honda Accord 1. 5t 6mt; one dealing with the open recall and one dealing with how the vehicle operates dangerously due to poor programming under specific operating conditions. To add, I speak as an engineer working in the automotive space specifically on the design of adas and av systems with iso26262 and sotif in mind. 1) there is an open recall for my vehicle for a fuel pump issue. I am experiencing some of the symptoms of this issue, specifically, my car will hesitate at around 4000 rpms during acceleration. I immediately back off the accelerator and then the check engine light flashes and I lose all engine power. I then restart my vehicle and it operates more or less normally with the occasional illumination of all the dash lights. I have taken my car to the dealership expressing my concerns (braman Honda of palm beach in particular) and they said they cannot do anything about it unless since there are no parts. I have paid for them to diagnose the issue but since they cannot recreate the issue (as it is intermittent) they cannot do anything. Question: what is the point of a recall if a vehicle experiencing the symptoms that lead to the recall cannot be repaired due to "part shortages"? 2) I want to talk specifically of the vehicle programming to cut engine power off. I think I have a separate electrical issue that causes all the lights on the dashboard to go off and again cut engine power. I understand that engineers may want to design their vehicles to cut power off when there is a potential mechanical failure, but in this case the issue is purely electrical. The fact that I can restart my car and accelerate normally shows that the issue is not mechanical. I believe this programming needs to be addressed. To be frank, losing engine power while driving on the highway may lead to catastrophic consequences. I feel that my vehicle is unsafe to drive since it has happened to me multiple times already.

The contact's nephew owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while her nephew was driving and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle remained stuck in second gear. The local dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Door locks will stop working randomly. Some doors will not lock or unlock. I took to metro Honda once to get it fixed and again it is happening. The driver side back door never locks or unlocks. The other back door started doing the same this past week. And the passenger door wouldn’t lock or unlock but since taking it to metro it has worked. This will start happening randomly. Also, I have been having problems with the starter. I got it replaced one a couple months ago from a mechanic and again it will not turn on on the first try.

Numerous Honda Accord 1. 5t have blown head gaskets, numerous complaints of this happening during freeway travel. The car will suddenly go into a "limp mode" and won't let you travel over 20mph. This could cause an accident. Numerous examples of this can be found on youtube, facebook, reddit, and other social media outlets. Honda service techs explained this happens because of weak head bolts that stretch overtime due to pre detonation. Most commonly accruing between 20,000-75,000 miles. No recall, extended warranty, or TSB has been issued by Honda, often leaving the owner with a bill between $5000-$10,000.

I was attempting to accelerate on the acceleration ramp to merge into traffic on the interstate, when my vehicle began violently jerking, and suddenly lost all power. My check engine light came on and it went into limp mode. This has happened twice now. Both times I was able to make it safely into the shoulder of the road with my hazard lights on. I turned the vehicle off, reset it, and have had to drive it since. The warning lights are on and off, depending. They’ve had since December of 2023 to release a recall and they haven’t yet. I need a remedy.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle loss automotive power. The vehicle intermittently stalled and the contact stated that after waiting several minutes for the vehicle temperature to cool down, the vehicle returned to normal operation; the vehicle shuddered. No warning light was illuminated however, the "vsc system failed" message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the throttle control system needed to be replaced; the independent mechanic made the contact aware of NHTSA campaign numbers:23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline), 20v769000 (power train) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The vehicle was taken to two Honda dealerships apon noticing the d light blinking on the dashboard after reaching highway speeds. Also started getting worse overtime, currently when starting up, and putting into drive, nothing happens, and after a few seconds it will plurge forward into gear on its own. Down shifting when braking is rough and delayed also. Ive addressed this issue with Honda, and they just look my VIN number and tell me there is no recall and id have to pay $200 out of pocket simply to run a diagnostic, when I know this should be covered under their recall as all symptoms are matching their current recalls for this vehicle. Also accomanied sometimes with a check engine light indicating the O2 sensor connected to the catalater converter is having a delayed reaction. Also the airbag red light is always steady illuminated. This vehicle has never been in a crash and is very well maintained and id like to keep it that way by addressing this issues Accordingly in a timely manner. Thank you, kindly.

All of a sudden, the accelerator pedal stopped working --- all I really know is that the car wouldn't accelerate, regardless of how much I pressed on the pedal, and the car had to roll to a stop. A bunch of warning lights came on about the brakes malfunctioning, but I don't remember if the brakes actually stopped working (I was more focused on the fact that I couldn't accelerate --- this happened right as I was starting to move after a red light turned green). Thankfully this happened when I was going slowly in a residential area --- if I had been on the freeway and unable to get over to the shoulder before the car came to a halt, this could have caused a serious/fatal accident (or if the brakes really had stopped working, even in a residential area I could have crashed into something/someone). The car remained unresponsive until I turned the whole thing off and on again, at which point it started working like normal (although still with the warnings). I took the car to my dealership and they ran diagnostics, but they couldn't find anything and couldn't reproduce the problem when they drove it around, so they just shrugged and said I should "keep an eye on it and see if it happens again". So unfortunately I don't know what caused the problem or what to inspect (but I'm certainly not going to keep driving the car and risk this happening again).

My head gasket is blown. It blown while I was driving down the road, it went into limp mode. I took it to the dealership and got it inspected. My car kept running hot, it also keep losing speed and lights on the dashboard.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at 40 mph, the vehicle hesitated and shifted out of gear independently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while attempting to operate the vehicle, the vehicle failed to move forward or reverse. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 20v769000 (power train); however, since the vehicle was not diagnosed, it was not known if the failure was related to the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Faulty starter which went and was replaced at least twice by previous owner. Upon 2nd replacement of starter by me, the car still would not run. It was determined by my mechanic that this was a bigger issue and probably the torque converter had been ruined by the starter as the wheel was missing and had broken teeth due to impact of the starter. Honda dealership/maintenance confirmed this and the torque converter and starter needed to be replaced. This cost me $4500, not to mention the previous starters and labor. Honda confirmed after market starters cause damage to the torque wheel/converter. Many mechanics use aftermarket parts, as they are more affordable for the consumer. Honda should have specific notes on this, as to not cause damage to the vehicle. Honda would not cover the costs, as they said my car was no longer under warranty at 155,000 miles. However the starter had been replaced before 100,000 another time.
