Many lights on dashboard including ldw, front collision system failure, tire pressure came on. Very concerned about driving safety. Researched the issue - seems fairly common across 2012-2017 Accords.

So I am just driving and all these lights come on my dashboard about front collision warning failing and land departure failing and no traction control or power steering. It caused my car to slip in the rain since there is no abs without traction control. I skid for a bit till I regained control and pulled over. This is such a common problem in this generation of cars there are 100 of youtube videos and forums complaining about the abs module failing this is a danger to others lives. How has this not been recalled as the brakes are so crucial?.

Collision warning randomly activates when driving while no vehicles or objects are around. This has been ongoing, but this last time emergency braking activated extremely hard and would had caused a collision if there was a vehicle following as vehicle almost came to a complete stop on a 75 mph highway.

At first they said I needed a new battery. Thats why all the sensors were going off. I got a new battery and the sensors keep going on and off intermittently. The sensors going off are; hillside, steering assist, brake, brake system, tpms, and collision. It will clear and work for a day or 2 and then come back.

Steering system is stiff and all the warning lights are on in the dashboard. Vehicle pulls hard to the left and you have to hold the wheel steady to keep it from pulling to the left. Appears there is a steering rack issue. I've seen on internet that many 2015 Accords have this issue. There needs to be a recall. Honda dealership quoting $3500 to $5000 to repair. This is not right!!.

The problem I am having with my vehicle Honda Accord 2018 is with the head gasket. I was on the highway and as I was driving suddenly all the signs came on the display and gave a warning that my vehicle is overheating and it came down to 20mph while I was on the highway. This was very risky to me and the other vehicle around me.

When making a left turn, my car suddenly bucked up onto the air feeling like I ran over a big obstacle which was not the case. Car came to sudden stop and I was thrown forward over steering wheel. Thankfully no one was behind me or it would have been catastrophic. The first week I owned the car, when going through a car wash, the car started jumping up and down and wouldn't move forward. Had to back out of carwash. Dealer told me it was the collision mitigation system and to turn it off before going in. The "brake" light on dash periodically flashes when no cars are in front of me. I am truly afraid to drive this car which only has 5,800 miles on it. Dealer can't find a problem. I am turning off collision feature every time I drive, but what if I forget? I believe this is an extremely dangerous defect and should be looked into. It doesn't always happen, but when it does. . .

On October 3, 2025, at approximately 1:00-1:30 pm, I was driving southbound on the hardy toll road in the far-left lane on my way to a friend's house. Road conditions were dry, and it was a bright, sunny day. While driving, I noticed something felt unusual with my vehicle. Other vehicles began passing me, so I checked my side-view mirror to see if there was an issue with my rear wheel, but I did not observe anything. When I looked forward again, there were no vehicles directly in front of me. Suddenly, my car locked up, and the word "brake" appeared on the dashboard. My vehicle immediately began veering sharply to the right. While veering, my vehicle was struck on the passenger side (t-boned) by another vehicle. The impact caused me to collide with the guard rail, strike a freeway sign, and ultimately crash into the tree line near the water off the roadway.
After having fuel pump replaced by recall at random times dashboard will light up with all system lights, car will go into limp mode and loose power for a few seconds and then I am able to resume driving. Extremely scary as there is no warning. This has happened both on the freeway at high rates of speed and on neighborhood roadways. Safety has been compromised several times and Honda dealer is not able to reproduce the issue, retrieve any warning codes or offer any assistance. This has randomly been occurring for several months. When not having this exact issue car runs with no other issues.
Abs module failure on 2013 Honda Accord. Fcw system failure, abs failure, ldw failure along with brake light constantly on, also tire pressure sensor light on. Brakes have a softer feel when compressed. Diagnosed at independent repair shop as failure of the abs module which is a circuit board issue with improperly soldered wire connections, something Honda should cover as the module dealer cost is about $3000 plus labor. Brake sensitivity and possible failure is a major concern and the vehicle is at only 116k miles.
During highway driving the collision system starts to brake without any risk or objects in view. Happen twice within 10 minutes.
While traveling at approximately 55 mph yesterday, in daylight, with no other cars in front, back, or to the side of our car, it radically braked on its own. The collision mitigation system warning light has frequently flashed on the dashboard since we bought the car new in 2019 but never did it apply the brakes on its own. Dealerships over the years have told us "this just happens", and offered no fix for the false positive alerts. This is a dangerous situation which could result in an accident or even death of occupants if not resolved by Honda. I spoke with several dealerships since the phantom braking event and they tell me they hear this complaint often. Being an intermittent situation, it is extremely difficult to diagnose and resolve. Something needs to be done.
I was driving on a four-lane highway using adaptive cruise control, gaining on a vehicle ahead. When the cruise control picked up the vehicle, I accelerated slightly, used left turn signal and began changing lanes, the warning for collision mitigation came on and the cruise control disengaged. Continued driving home and the warning continued, and cruise control would not function. Next time used the car the warning light was off, and system functioned properly.
Hi, to whom it may concern my dashboard lights have been on for months now and I’ve taken it to the dealership I purchased my car from and it comes back that it’s the turbo that needs replacing. The pricing of that is ridiculous and I’m currently not the only one with this issue ! it’s an all around the world thing! I’m not sure about anybody else but I don’t have that type of money plus while paying other important bills ! there should be a recall against the turbo replacement as well! and just what if I was to get the turbo replacement and then the lights come back on, because I’ve seen multiple people saying the replacement didn’t help with the lights and still have gotten other things done and the lights only off for a couple days ! indeed of answers because this is ridiculous!.
The touch screen is malfunctioning. Its "ghost touching" as in the screen is pressing random buttons on the screen at random times while driving. It can change and has changed settings while driving (distance for breaking before a collision, etc). While its touching random things on the screen im unable to touch anything on the screen. As if its locking me from pressing anything.
All my lights on my dash has come on, they said it’s the abs solenoid malfunction and I’m scared to drive the car, it’s my only car and Honda is charging almost 3500 to fix I don’t have that kind of money plus that is a computer problem so Honda should take care of that, anything could happen when I’m driving on the highway. . This should be a recall I see a lot of other people dealing with the same issue. .
The car was in cruise control going 73mph on the freeway. I was passing a semi on the left hand side. When I was parallel to the semi, the car brakes hard and a big "brake" light came on the cluster. There were no cars in front of me and luckily no one behind me. If there was a car behind me there would have been a collision. It was a clear day and again the road was clear. It took me from 70 to about 40 mph until I hit the accelerator to get back to speed. The cmbs is faulty and I will take it in to a dealer ASAP.
On July 30, 2025, my Honda’s collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) randomly activated without any obstacles in front of the vehicle. Since then, this issue has happened numerous times while driving. When the incident occurs, the system flashes a “brake” warning and suddenly applies the brakes while I am driving. This creates a serious risk of a rear-end collision, loss of control, or bodily harm. I had the vehicle inspected by an authorized Honda dealership on August 1, 2025 for this issue. Despite the inspection, the malfunction continues to occur. Although I have not yet been involved in an accident, this defect poses an ongoing safety hazard for myself, passengers, and others on the road. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter.
Dear - NHTSA vehicle safety division, I am writing to formally document my ongoing concern regarding a faulty anti-lock braking system (abs) module in my Honda vehicle, which I believe poses a serious safety risk. Despite contacting Honda corporation on four separate occasions to address this issue, the company has refused to acknowledge or accept responsibility for what appears to be a recurring defect found in several Honda models produced between 2013 and 2018. The vehicle was inspected by a certified technician at a Honda dealership, who confirmed that the braking failure stemmed from a malfunction of the abs module. The technician also acknowledged that this issue is common in Hondas from the aforementioned model years. I relayed this information to Honda directly, along with my willingness to cover part of the repair cost, but was offered no resolution or goodwill support. The replacement part alone is quoted at over $3,100—an unacceptable burden for what appears to be a known issue. As a loyal Honda customer who has purchased five Honda vehicles over the years, I am extremely disappointed in the lack of accountability and response from both the dealership and american Honda motor CO. This is my first experience encountering this level of disregard from a brand I once trusted for quality and dependability. Unfortunately, Honda’s approach to this problem no longer reflects the reliability and professionalism customers have come to expect. I am submitting this statement in support of any formal investigation into systemic safety concerns regarding abs modules in affected Honda vehicles. If any additional documentation or information is required, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Honda Accord 2013 exl VIN: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Experienced cmbs with malfunctioning false breaking while no obstacle, acceleration delays (features not available: electric braking, lane departure, electric power steering, cruise control, adaptive collusion prevention and brake system warning on dashboard).
Unknown I received the notice that there was an active recall on my 2018 Honda about the 1. 5 fuel pump. I have scheduled several appointments to fix this, only for Honda to cancel all appointments related to the recall, stating they didn't have the part. I was headed to work, and every light on the dashboard that could come up, came up. There were several warning lights from brakes, transmission, collision, engine, etc. I took the car to the dealership, and they discovered that the fuel injector was the culprit. I am outraged because they're denying there's a connection, and I believe otherwise.
I own a 2015 Honda Accord ex-l v6 3. 5l that I purchased brand new from the dealership with zero miles. I’ve taken excellent care of the vehicle, and because I typically drive short distances, it only has 93,000 miles as of June 2025. Despite the low mileage and proper maintenance, the intake manifold plenum (part #17160-5g0-a00) now needs to be replaced due to significant deterioration. The material used for this part is poorly made, it corrodes and breaks down over time, causing vacuum leaks. This is a well-documented, widespread issue in Honda vehicles globally. In my case, the deterioration has caused performance and safety concerns and has rendered my car undrivable. To make matters worse, this part is on national backorder with no estimated delivery date. I’ve contacted numerous dealerships and suppliers with no success, leaving me without a working vehicle or timeline for repair. I rely on this car for transportation, work, and daily responsibilities. It is extremely frustrating that a critical engine component is both defective and unavailable, especially when so many other Honda owners are facing the same problem. I am filing this complaint to raise awareness and request a timely investigation and resolution.
About a year ago, I was driving my car on the highway and it jerked and started smoking. At that same time, my forward collision warning came on. After doing a quick google search, I found I was not the only one with this issue. Honda dealership told me I needed a new vsa modulator that cost thousands of dollars. I finally was able to get it fixed, and now (today 5/11/25) less than a few months after getting a new vsa modulator, the same thing happened. This needs to be an official recall. It is a safety hazard.
Since the first winter after I purchased my vehicle in 2021, typically when cold, but not always, I lose all the Honda sensing (advanced driver assist features). The dashboard lights up with the following warnings . - collision mitigation braking system problem. See dealer - road departure mitigation system problem. See dealer - auto high beam problem. See dealer - adaptive cruise control system problem. See dealer - lane keep assist system problem. See dealer this failure of these safety systems can last anywhere from 5-60 minutes. Sometimes if you shut the vehicle off and turn it back on again, the warning will go away. On multiple cold mornings (below ~45°f), my 2021 Accord hybrid displays a cascade of safety system failure warnings upon startup. The dash shows errors for the collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation, and more—all at once. When these systems are disabled, it severely compromises safety. This issue happens repeatedly in colder weather. The dealer has personally witnessed the issue in their service bay and acknowledged it's a known problem but had no fix, advising me to turn the car off and on again. This recurring failure of critical safety systems in cold conditions puts me, my passengers, and other road users at risk.
I purchased this 2018 Honda Accord that has had no major problems until the last 6 months. I purchased the car from gerald jones Honda and have had all repairs and maintenance done there with the exception of tire related concerns and occasional oul changes. All the issues I've experienced have been engine related and in the same area of the engine. Consistent leaks, repeated warning lights, and loss of speed. I have replaced fuel injectors, a head gasket, and a turbo in the last 6 months. Despite those repairs, I'm still experiencing leaks and flashing warning lights. Honda currently has my car due to warnings again. They have indicated it is a performance issue but can't locate the problem. Even suggested I continue to drive the car as they have been unable to duplicate what caused it. I told them to keep it because that makes no sense for me to drive it as it seems unsafe to do so and I could potentially make matters worse. I've spoken to several 2018 Accord owners who have experienced the same issues. This is very concerning to me and crippling my finances. Honda stands out for their reliability, but regrettably the 2018 1. 5l turbo doesn't stand up to Honda's reputation.
Forward collision warning system failure causing multiple light failures on dashboard.
Vsa abs fcw eps warning lights, According to Honda dealership it needs a vsa abs module, these are thousands of dollars and there’s thousands and thousands of pissed off customers. This should be warranted. It looks like Honda of europe did warranty it. I’m not sure what’s going on in Honda north America. It can cause the brake pedal to go soft, and is definitely a safety hazard.
Abs module failure. The mother board pins that connect are a poor design.
Cmbs not working properly. The car automatically brakes without any collision risk even on a clear road with no traffic and clear weather. Have a huge risk of someone crashing the car from the rear due to immediate braking. This issue has appeared several times.
Forward collision warning stopped working after a system upgrade on my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. I activate the forward support and immediately it turns off. This is a safety issue. The system assist in breaking in time to maintain car distance and avoid a collision. Contacted Honda. I was told to take it to service at my cost.
