Head Gasket failure. This causes the car to begin misfiring/stalling while accelerating. This is seriously dangerous. It happens when you are accelerating. Then, since it's an emission/misfire issue, the car goes into limp mode and forces the car to no longer exceed the limp mode speed, which is usually like 30 or 35 mph.The stark difference from highway speed resulted in me almost getting rear-ended by a semi. This has happened to me on two different occasions and posses a legit safety concern for everyone. You can do a simple 2-second Google search and find an insane amount of people having the exact same issue. I am luckily trained in high stress and ooo shit scenarios, so I was able to successfully get the car off the road without dying or getting smoked by a semi or driver not expecting the car that just entered the highway to drastically be slowing down. However, the average person would probably not instinctively hit the hazards and get over/off the road and onto the side. This issue is completely unrelated to the fuel pump recall because if it was a fuel pump failure, the car would never end up in limp mode. Limp mode is almost always emissions related(IE misfiring from head gasket leakage).

I received numerous letters from Honda about the recall on my car since earlier this year. I have contacted Brian Honda in Fayetteville about 5 times already and keep getting the run around or ignored and passed along saying they do not have parts for replacement and for me to keep calling back. When I do call back they do not answer the phone or answer emails. I have an infant in my car and I do not think it’s safe for me to drive around with a new baby in the car in risk of my car breaking down. One time the advisor asked me if I’m having problems and I said no not yet and he said yeah hopefully you don’t while we’re waiting

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the significant delay in addressing the safety recall (NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-858) for my 2018 Honda Accord (VIN [XXX] ). Despite multiple attempts to schedule a repair at Hendrick Honda of Charleston, I have encountered repeated delays and a lack of transparency from the dealership. Despite confirming part availability, I have been repeatedly turned away due to excuses such as "repair backlog" or "part shortages." This ongoing issue poses a serious safety risk and is unacceptable. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter and take immediate action to compel Honda to prioritize the repair of affected vehicles and improve communication from their dealerships regarding the recall progress. Attached are email confirmations of previous service appts to repair this specific safety recall. Also attached is the Carfax open recall report for my vehicle, which I was first notified of on 1/17/24. Note: These documents do include previously cancelled appts due to the lack of communication and transparency from dealership. Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter.

My vehicle will randomly lose power while driving, lights will flash and then car will just stop and turn off. Try to turn car back on and all these lights are flashing and engine light stays on with codes. Taken my car to performance Honda MULTIPLE of times, paid to get it towed, Honda continues to say they don’t know what’s wrong with it. I’ve recorded videos of my car losing power and given them to Honda and they still couldn’t provide any answers after having my vehicle for 6 months on and off. My car continued to do the same thing all over again after Honda ended up putting used spark plugs in my car and I returned my car to Honda again. They replaced fuel pump and I made it 30 minutes home and my car broke down in the middle of an intersection on the highway again and all my fuel was all over the road. Honda came and got my car again. Car is not even reliable to have my kids in. This has been the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned and no dealer will even let me trade the car in because of all the recalls this model has had and how many customers have complained. I’m at a total loss and now a loss of a vehicle I have to pay on and can get rid of it for something safe to have my kids in. I’ve only had this car for 3 years and the last two years have had the same continuous problems with no explanation. Honda just clears the codes and gives the car back every time they have it. I’ve had to call 911 to have cops come and block my vehicle on the highway because it’s broken down with me and my kids in the car and my car wouldn’t start so I could move it. Honda knows about the continuous problems and has record of having none stop. No lights or anything on prior to car just losing power and turning off or not going over 20 mph and going into limp mode.

My head gasket and yes it’s available as long as the shops local. Can’t really drive it also I put fuel because a part of the problem is Honda recommending running 87 for fuel in manual and for a turbo car with direct injection that is part of the reason that’s causing this too happen too soo many 1.5t Accords! As far as safety it’s very dangerous, I went into limp mode multiple times on the highway and when that happens losing power on the highway is dangerous but having to pull over on the side of the highway is VERY dangerous!! Yes it has happened over and over and goes into limp mode just about everytime driven and yes a dealer has seen it. Yes every time it’s happened the dash lights up like a Christmas tree with check engine light! It started in Sept!!

12-18-2023, . . . original recall on Fuel Pump which may cause 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 L engine stall while driving. 02-21-2024, . . . . .I received a letter from HONDA about this fuel pump. 03-01-2024, . . . . . Braman Honda of Lake Worth, Florida, advised me, while at their dealership for regular maintenance about this Recall. My fuel Pump would ordered, and they would contact me to come back to rectify this Recall. As of today, 11-16-2024, Braman Honda has failed to contact me, over 8 months later. . . . . . . What if my Honda Accord stalls while I'm driving at 65 mph? I WANT this matter resolved. I am documenting this complaint against Braman Honda, and Honda Automotive Division. Thank You, Retired Florida DHSMV Officer
