What 528 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid

The vehicle turn off and on while driving on the highway, is like the engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. I'm aware there's no recall on my vehicle, however, it's a known issue that Honda had voluntarily recall approximately 2.6 million 2017-2020 Honda vehicles in the United States to replace their fuel pumps, for free due to a similar issue. I have experience this issue of the vehicle shutting down then on while driving in the last couple of weeks and it's increasing each day. The accord was bought for my son to use, if he encounter an accident due to this fuel pump issue and he lose his life, someone would have to be held accountable.

At first I thought this was an electrical problem but now it looks like it is the fuel pump. There is a struggle to turn the vehicle on. There are time that I step on the accelerator and it stalls. There are times while driving that it seems that the vehicle is just going to turn off. I am scared that it might turn off while I’m driving. This can cause me to have an accident. I know there has been a recall to 2018-2020 Honda Accord vehicle but I think there are plenty of 2017 models that are going through the same situation.

Lights came on the dashboard, then call was stalling while driving, and car is hard to stop, issue with the fuel pump for my model car and honda doesn't have my vin listed in the recall in which it should be. The recall is NHTSA Recall# [XXX] . My vehicle is having the same issues as the recall states that honda should cover.

Currently own a 2017 Honda Accord Sport just over 100k miles, regularly maintained and serviced. All of a sudden my vehicle takes longer to start and the most shocking issue is that I was driving to work as normal and when I went to accelerate onto the interstate my vehicle suddenly started jerking and it seemed as though my vehicle was not getting fuel even though I was pressing the accelerator. I had to get off the interstate as I was almost hit by other vehicles merging onto the interstate. It is very frustrating that other trims of Accords are included in the recall except this model. This recall needs to be revised to reflect all models for all owners. I literally almost lost my life due to this.

Vehicle stalled while travelling. I suspect this is a problem of the high pressure fuel pump gathering particulates and not working as proper. There is a similar recall regarding the V6 models of my vehicle, however, the 4 cylinder models were left unaddressed.

On 12-7-2023 I was driving home from work and all of a sudden my car started sputtering and slowing down until it stopped completely in heavy evening traffic. It would not restart so I had it towed. I had a mechanic check it out and he said it was the fuel pump.

Several instances where my 2017 Honda accord loses power or performance. Two instances are (1) stopped at traffic light and when I hit the gas to pull off it moved but would not do anything after that. The engine was on but no power. Thankfully I was close to a parking lot. The car rolled into the parking lot and a few the cut off on me. The 2nd time I was driving down the road, felt a little jolt and once again the car loss performance and I had to guide it to the side of the road.

I was driving on the interstate when the car started to sputter like it was about to kill then several warning lights came on. The check engine light, the steering light and the road traction lights. I got off on the nearest exit and call the tow truck because I was afraid to drive it. It was hesitant to start. I had my new born grandson and daughter with me at the time. This was a very scary situation!

The high pressure fuel pump is failing on my 2017 honda accord. There is currently a recall for this issue on the 2017 honda accord v6 models but not mine. I was driving down the highway and my car went into safe mode causing the car to slow/power down and cause traffics issues. All of my warning lights came on alerting me that there was a problem. This affects the safety of others and puts everyone at risk.

Very soon after purchasing this car in June, the check engine light came on. The problem was eventually determined to be with the fuel tank. I was told by the dealership that the tank was leaking fumes. They told me the problem was a known issue with this model. The part had been redesigned but neither the original or redesigned part are available. We have been waiting for several months for a replacement part. I was told that others are waiting as well and there is no information on a date for repair. My son continues to drive the car but we are concerned about the safety of gas fumes leaking out of the car

The V6 version is under recall. However, this vehicle should be as well. The car fails to accelerate. My car was at the Honda Dealership for over ten days. I came in because my car was unexpectedly unable to accelerate. Honda advised me there wasn't a code but I needed a new battery and other maintenance. I picked up my car, and within 1 mile, I could not accelerate when exiting and was nearly in an accident. Honda advised me at first the car had a misfire and then was unable to duplicate the error. I advised them that it was a safety hazard to drive the vehicle, and if I leave the shop and get into an accident it would be their fault. The next day they said it was a valve issue, and now fuel injectors. I did a search online, and many Honda Accords 2017 owners have the same issue.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH the vehicle suddenly started to jerk, hesitate, and would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was later driven to the local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the high-pressure fuel pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 33,000.

FUEL INJECTORS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND STALL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. OUR SAFETY WAS PUT AT RISK DUE THE LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE SECOND REPORTED INCIDENT, THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, ONLY THE REPAIRING DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED AS THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER.

On Thursday July 14, while driving on HWY 278, the car had a sudden failure and starting decelerating. It almost got me and my daughter who was riding with me at the time killed. Only the grace of God protected us!!! I managed to get the car to the Honda dealer (DCH Academy Honda #708, Old Bridge, NJ). They informed me that the fuel pump failed and needed to change. The problem appeared all of a sudden and there was no warning at all. The car is being maintained regularly. This seems to be a manufacturing problem in the fuel pump for Honda Accord 2017 and it needs to be addressed. Again this almost got me killed!!!!!!

The car is stalling on the highway out of nowhere. Car won’t start back up for about 20 minutes. Car completely shuts off during traffic. Almost caused a big wreck with an 18 wheeler because I was unable to move the car out the middle lane because it shut off. Causing false codes to pop up. Very dangerous situation with my three small children in the car.

Had a strong smell of gasoline coming from engine compartment. Took to dealership, they reported I had a ruptured fuel line. Took 1 1/2 months to get new fuel line. Honda would not take responsibility for poorly manufactured part. Got car repaired, cost $500 and on my way. My question is, will the new fuel line have the same problem? Very dangerous to catch fire. A lot disappointed in Honda for the treatment I got. The car only had 24,000 miles on it. Thank you!

My 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid was having an issue where several warning lights would light up on the dashboard, so I took it in to Auburn Honda, located at 1801 Grass Valley Hwy, Auburn, CA 95603, to get the car serviced under warranty. They made the necessary repair, which was the replacement of a battery component and I picked up the car on 2/2/21. After about 45 minutes of driving the car with no stops immediately after picking up the car, the warning lights returned and the car suddenly shut off. When I tried to restart the car, smoke billowed from the rear. Shortly thereafter, the entire car was engulfed in flames. This incident occurred more than a year ago and ever since I have been trying to get the proper individual or individuals to accept responsibility for this incredibly dangerous and costly incident, for which we have still received NO compensation. My insurance provider, Atlantic Casualty, and Auburn Honda's insurance provider, Federated Insurance, both sent out fire inspectors of their own accord and they concluded that the battery malfunctioning caused the fire. At this time, the car was at Auburn Honda and the inspection was conducted there. My most recent step and what has led me to file this complaint is that I made a claim months ago with American Honda Motor Corporation on the advice of Auburn Honda to find a resolution to this incident. They have been uncooperative and refuse to accept that the fire was caused by the battery. After the car was moved to a junk yard and almost a year had passed from the date of the incident, they sent out their own fire inspector who concluded that the cause of the fire was not the battery. This is on a car that has already been inspected and changed hands and locations several times at this point. They refuse to accept responsibility despite the fact that two independent fire inspectors already concluded that the cause WAS the battery, which is supplied and approved by American Honda Motor Corporation.

I am Air Force Active Duty, stationed in Germany. The recall was released in Jan 2019. My vehicle was on its way to Germany at the time. I took my vehicle to the Honda dealer in Frankfurt, Germany. They performed the required work to update my recall. I believe, I'm waiting on the US to update the information as "Complete". I will be leaving Germany 3 May 2022 and will need to ship my vehicle prior to my departure. I can not ship it with an open recall. Please advice on what I need to do to get the proper documentation. Thank you!

Fuel rail low pressure. Low miles on this vehicle I bought for my wife. The two fuel pumps they run on 2017 Honda break a lot. Vehicle is now in limp mode until I can get it fixed.

REAR-BACKUP CAMERA WENT BLACK AFTER I DROVE CAR TO PICK UP SON AT FRIENDS HOUSE AT NIGHT CAMERA WORKED, PARKED CAR OVERNIGHT, WENT TO USE CAR NEXT MORNING REAR CAMERA INOP, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUSE SO I CHECKED FUSE, NOT BLOWN.TOOK CAR IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS LATER STATED IT WAS P&A DUE TO FAILURE, EST. AT OVER $700 TO REPLACE. VERY UNHAPPY SINCE CAR IS ONLY 4YRS OLD AND ONLY 40K MILES. HOW DO HONDA OWNERS KNOW THAT THIS YEAR CAMERA WAS NOT AFFECTED LIKE THE RECALL ON THE 2018'S. WHAT IF SOME 2017'S HAD THE DEFECTIVE CAMERAS INSTALLED, SO I CALLED HONDA WAS TOLD NO RECALL ON CAMERA, BROUGHT UP THE 2018/ RECALL TO THE REP AND SHE STATED THIS DID NOT AFFECT MY VIN#. I WAS NOT SATISFIED AND WANTED THIS ISSUE TO BE REVIEWED SINCE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE CAMERA. I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE HONDA SHOULD RECTIFY DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE RECALLS ON OVER THOUSAND OF OTHER CAMERAS IN THEIR OTHER VEHICLES. HONDA SHOULD STAND BY THE OEM PARTS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE AND CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING REAR CAMERAS THAT STOP WORKING. THIS IS A MULTI-DOLLAR INDUSTRY BECAUSE OF THE EVERYDAY PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THAT PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AND THAT IS WHY I FEEL HONDA SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THEY DRIVERS AND OTHERS AROUND THEM AND ADD 2017 MODELS TO THEIR RECALL LIST INSTEAD OF MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY TO AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX AN ISSUE WITH HONDA PARTS. HONDA NEEDS TO STAND BY THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THEIR PARTS AND VEHICLES JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS AND MAKE IT RIGHT TO THE CONSUMER. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WHERE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHILE TURNING AND ACCELERATING, TOOK IT IN AND DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, MADE IT SEEM LIKE THEY WERE DOING ME A FAVOR TO REPLACE IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES WHEN IN FACT IT WAS A RECALL ON MY VIN#. IT HAS BEEN FIXED, DID I GET A LEMON?

WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN REAPPLY THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND. YOU HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING AND RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL TIL THE CAR RESPOND. IT DOES IT WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP IN TRAFFIC AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET.
