These cars being known for having very bad fuel injectors. So much so that Honda cannot keep up with the demand for replacement parts. These cars are now being known for blowing head gaskets and having their fuel injectors go bad before 80,000 miles. It’s not just a simple fix because when these injectors go out they turn off all of the safety equipment on the car and make it loose all power. This happened to my wife while she was driving on the highway. Thank god she was able to pull over safely but this is an issue that needs to be looked into and addressed before someone gets killed!

Aug 26, 2023Seat beltsEngineFuel system

Seat belt: multiple instances where the seat belth latch does not fully engage causing the seat belt to unlatch while I'm driving. Engine/Fuel: Car bogs down specially with hotter weather. Stalled twice in the past month. when attempted to restart the car, it would crank but it would not be able to fully start. I had my mechanic check the battery, fuses, and even use a scan tool with no issues to be found. The car would eventually start 30-45 minutes after it has cooled down. There is suspicion it is the fuel pump and there is a recall out for this same year, make, and model car but apparently, my VIN was not included in the recall so my local dealer is not able to honor it. I am concerned that this will turn into a bigger problem or worse, that it will happen when I driving down the highway.

I was pulling out into the road when my car stalled out of no where. Multiple errors/lights started flashing. It scrolled through many warnings saying many things weren’t working and to call the dealer. Car would not start or move. Had it towed to the dealer. They are saying it was the fuel pump and is no longer under warranty. They say they do not know when they can get one as it’s on back order. They will not call me back and my car is at the dealer and cannot be driven.

2019 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T and 2.0T oil dilution issues. Fuel leaks in to the oil system and anytime the oil is changed it smells like gasoline. I have to change the oil every 3k to 5k miles in order to keep my oil clean and without engine fuel dilution.

I had the recalled fuel pump replaced at Miller Honda in Winchester, VA on 6/17/21. Since hen, I have driven my car only 10,000 miles more. Yesterday, at Joe's Auto it was diagnosed my car needs the fuel pump replaced. Did Honda really fix the problem?

Sep 29, 2022Fuel systemLane DepartureDriver assistance

We own a Honda Accord with approximately 39,405 miles on it when we took it to the Bob Howard Honda Dealership located at 13201 North Kelley Oklahoma City, OK 73131 for repair/diagnosis on August 25, 2022. The failure of the Honda included every sensor displaying in the vehicle from emission to lane change, etc. The dealership stated that the only code they noticed was a low fuel pressure but there was no issue other than that and these new cars are sensitive to low gas in vehicles which they felt contributed to every emergency sensor warning displayed with safety issues. We picked vehicle back up and on August 27, 2022, my wife was stranded cause the vehicle just stopped and would not start again with the same codes as before. Just quit running while driving which was very unsafe for my wife. It took well over 3 hours waiting for vehicle to be towed cause HONDA doesn't have a shift release easily accessible on their ACCORD models when vehicle is unable to start and to be put in neutral cause it won't start. We had vehicle towed back to Bob Howard Honda and on Monday, August 29, 2022 they stated it needed a fuel pump which would cost around $1007.00. However, the fuel pumps are on back order with no timeframe for delivery and the warranty for this vehicle expired apparently at 36,000 miles. First off fuel pump should not have failed this soon for a brand new Honda Accord or any vehicle for that matter. This is a failure in manufacturing.

My car has stranded me 3 times by not cranking. I have taken it to Gerald JONES Honda 3 times and they claim they can’t find nothing in the codes. They told me sounds like a fuel pump but mind wasn’t covered under recall. I have on 25255 miles on car and shouldn’t be having these issues . I made a video to show them how it will not crank. I am trying to share video but it will not take.

Driving on the highway at speed. Started to accelerate to pass. After a very brief moment of acceleration, it stopped accelerating. Engine light started flashing on the dashboard. Due to loss of propulsion, myself and one passenger were almost rear ended. I then engaged emergency flashers. Had to navigate multiple semi trucks on my right to coast to the shoulder. Once stopped on the shoulder of the highway, I turned off power to the vehicle, waited a couple minutes and re-started the vehicle. Vehicle started, engine light was no longer on. Drove away. Took vehicle to a Honda dealership the next morning. They kept the vehicle for a week and could not replicate the issue or find anything wrong upon inspection.

I had the fuel pump recall done at my local Honda service center in Gardena, CA. They replace the potential bad fuel pump with a fuel pump kit. After the fuel pump replacement, the car has problem start up. Normally it takes 2 to 3 crank to start the engine. But now it take more than 10 cranks. And the problem is intermittent. It's very random. It does not matter if it's in the morning or night. Or does not matter if the car is being first started or had been driven. Seem the new pump is defective as well. Wrote to American Honda on several occasions, but never got a response.

My 2019 Accord was due for a fuel pump recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V215000), so I took it in to First Texas Honda and they completed a “remedy” by replacing it. 2 weeks later, I drove my car for the first slightly longer trip of 100 miles at night, and the car lost its power on the highway. Pretty much all the malfunction indicator lights were on, the dashboard LCD displayed failure of all major systems, and the car would not start again. I had it towed to Allen Honda, another Honda dealership, who told me that the new fuel pump First Texas Honda installed for the recall was probably not done properly and that some o-ring had worn out. They had to replace the fuel pump again. It appears that First Texas Honda made an awful mistake on the recall that could have resulted in an accident.

I PURCHASED MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT LAST MONTH AND HAD NO ISSUES 5,000 MILES ON IT. BUT AS I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT THE BRAKES ARE NOT OPERATING AS THEY SHOULD WAY TOO SENSITIVE AND IS NOT A SMOOTH PROCESS AS IT SHOULD BE THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE MAKES IT JOLT FORWARD. ON IDLE MY RPMS START TO LOWER THEN GO UP I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A VACUUM LEAK, FUEL PUMP OR SPARK PLUGS BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE.

I RESTARTED THE CAR IT DROVE OK AND NO MORE TROUBLE THAT DAY. ON 01/12/2020 IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON I 81 INTERSTATE AND AGAIN IT SHUT OFF OR LOST ALL POWER FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN IT RECOVERED ITSELF.THIS WAS A VERY BAD SITUATION AS I WAS IN 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS ALL AROUND GOING 70 MPH.I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MILLER HONDA, THREE TIMES. THEY TOOK IT IN AND TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD SHUT OFF ON THEM.IT DID NOT AT THAT TIME. SERVICE MANAGER COULD FIND NOTHING AT THAT TIME.

I NOTICED ON A COLD STARTS MY CAR WOULD MISFIRE FOR A SECOND THEN GO AWAY ONCE WARMING UP , MY FUEL PUMP RELAY ALSO WENT OUT LEAVING ME STRANDED AT 2AM BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START JUST KEPT ROLLING OVER.. HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR AND WENT TO GET A ENGINE CONTROL/FUEL PUMP RELAY THE NEXT DAY AND THE CAR TURNED ON ONCE I PUT THAT IN. WITH THIS HAPPENING I KNOW SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND I'VE PUT PREMIUM GAS IN THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW . I WENT ONLINE TO READ UP ON IT AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2018-2019 MODEL ACCORDS , SO I WENT TO THE DEALER THINKING YES THEY CAN FIX IT BUT WHEN THEY SEARCHED MY VIN THE ONLY THING THAT CAME UP WAS THE BCM UPDATE. BUT KNOWING THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M HAVING AND I CAN'T GET IT FIXED UNTIL I SAVE UP A LITTLE BIT . IS THERE A WAY THIS RECALL CAN BE DONE TO MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN SUCCESSFULLY GET TO SCHOOL AND WORK.

07/06/20 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE PLASTIC GAS PEDAL SNAPPING OFF AND BECOMING LODGED BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL PREVENTING ADEQUATE STOPPING THAT RESULTED IN ME REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. MAX SPEED REACHED ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE COLLISION WAS 65 MPH. TRYING TO BRAKE WAS NOT SMOOTH AND I HAD TO PRESS DOWN EXTREMELY HARD IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO RESPOND AND STILL ENDED UP COLLIDING WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN PAYING ATTENTION TO SURROUNDING TRAFFIC, EVEN WITH A CAR LENGTH DISTANCE INFRONT OF ME AT THE START OF BREAKING. IT IS TYPICAL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO ENGAGE WHEN "DETECTING" CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ANOTHER OBJECT OR VEHICLE BUT, ON MANY OCCASIONS THERE WAS NO ONE THERE; HOWEVER, IN THE CASE OF TODAYS ACCIDENT COLLISION MITIGATION WAS NOT RESPONSIVE. TIRE ROTATION PERFORMED AT HONDA ON 6/29/20 WITH REPORTS THAT BRAKE LINES, FLUIDS, AND PADS WERE UP TO PAR HOWEVER THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT THE CASE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL THAT HAS NOT MADE ITS WAY TO CONSUMERS FOR THE FUEL PUMP IN THIS CAR THAT TOOK ME SO DIGGING TO FIND. INITIATED 5,28,2020 BUT, WILL NOT GO IN EFFECT UNTIL 7,22,2020. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE TODAY! SUCH A SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN.
