NHTSA ODI 11674676

I bought this 2019 Honda Accord on June 30th from a company called Greenville Motor Company. July 1st, I took the car to the Honda dealership to get a diagnostic to make sure everything was in good shape. The technician I spoke with did notice the car & stated that it had a problem with the previous owner which was the Injectors. She told me that the light may not come on now but it may come on in the future. After I left the Honda dealership, I went to Greenville Motor Company & showed them the diagnosis I had done at Honda. He said he didn't see anything wrong. On July 2nd, all of my dashboard lights came on. Took it back to Greenville Motor Company, the tech there said I could pick it up July 3rd & drive it over the weekend. (basically he reset the lights so they wouldn't come on for a certain period of time).Within this time period I took it back to the Honda dealer & they told me that I also needed a turbo, they gave me the printout for that as well. Took it to Greenville Motor Company, they agreed that I did. need a turbo. Manager says he ordered turbo. I I don't remember the date I took it back but on July 12th, my dash lights came on again. I took it back to Greenville Motor Company July 14th, July 18th Greenville Motor Company called & said something on top of the turbo wasn't screwed on thats what was triggering the turbo code to show, so he never put on the turbo that he ordered I had it 2 hours & my dash lights came on again.

Lights go crazy in dashboard apparently due to constan cylinder misfires, spark plugs changed, same issue, fuel injectors and coils changed, same happened keep it getting fix and the problem persist, making the car dangerous to drive, since it loses power since the car it’s not able to respond and work as it should be Having engine, steering and brake issues, problem has been confirmed by dealer. It hasn’t been inspected by manufacturer. The lost of power and acceleration it’s probably one of the symptoms before all the light go on again. It’s been several times that this happens and I know for a fact that many people are experiencing this issues due to turbo or head gasket failure. Might get that inspected soon.

Every light on my dashboard came on at once. I took it to a Honda dealership for a diagnostic check and they said it was my turbo but every light is still on.

If you are having this problem where every warning indicator is illuminated, codes scanned but no clear solutions to the “Christmas Tree dash board This is an ongoing issue with the 10th generation and there is no definitive “fix” recognized by Honda. Sometimes it is the battery, the alternator, the head gasket, the ECM, injectors….the list goes on and on. Sometimes the repair fixes the issue, but based on research, the issue typically comes back shortly after the service department throws another part at the problem.

I was driving on the freeway going around 50 MPH and out of nowhere the car slammed on brakes so hard that it slammed me in my seat. No cars were in front or behind me. So there were no accidents that occurred from this incident. But it certainly did scare me.

NHTSA ODI 11640627

Multiple times while driving my car the automatic braking system activated with no reason, brakes were momentarily engaged. It has happened at speeds of 10-75 mph. I and any drivers near me were absolutely put in danger. I took it to the dealer when I first experienced it in 2020 and 2021 they were not able to reproduce it and told me there was nothing I could do. Every time this happens especially when I am on the freeway it is VERY disturbing and causes me a great deal of anxiety. There is no way to get this to stop. I have attempted to deactivate anything related to the automatic braking feature and it still engages. The orange flashing brake messages come up randomly. Im very afraid I am going to get into an accident. My family has seen enough tragedy and I don't want to add to that.

Misfire in cylinder causes blown head gasket

NHTSA ODI 11620058

I've had head gasket failure twice and now turbo failure. I have documentation from John Eagle Honda to support as well as several others who are willing to do a Class Action Lawsuit in regards to the 10th generation Honda Accord 1.5 T and some of the other trims. I have a list of other owners like myself who have paid out of pocket constantly to get our vehicles fixed. My last straw for reaching out is when it stalled on me while on the interstate for the second time and almost getting in a horrible accident. Something has to be done, because at this point Honda has been called several times and acts if no one is reporting it when indeed they are. I have tons of documentation and proof to support my safety issue. I first paid for the head gasket in 2023, then again in 2024, now I'm being told the Turbo needs to be replaced of which it is in the shop currently and I was quoted 1700$. Something has to be done because of this issue I have spend a lot of money and none of my safety features worked during this time, the head gasket issue shuts down everything and can cause serious injury.

1. The AEB system activated on a clear road with no visible obstacles in sight. The car showed "Brake" message and braked by itself. Fortunately there was no car immediately behind me, so there was no collision. 2. While parked, with the keys untouched, the truck opened by itself. This has happened on more than one occasion.

The Automatic Braking System (ABS) engaged suddenly and without cause to engage. The vehicle is available for inspection. The sudden stop while traveling at approximately 40 mph startled me (driver) and could have caused a rear end collision. The vehicle was taken to the local Honda dealer. They indicated I should disable the ABS when using the vehicle. The actual ABS system was not inspected by the dealership or any other individual. There were no warnings prior to the occurrence although the dashboard displayed the standard BRAKING warning when the ABS engages. This occurred just once at which point I have subsequently disabled the ABS whenever driving.

I was driving about 45 mph about 10:45 AM. Suddenly, my car braked on its own. The message, "emergency brake", flashed on the screen. This same problem happened on August 2, 2024. There was no vehicle in front of or behind me. Neither was there any vehicle beside me. I am very concerned about my safety in driving this car. I have reported this problem before. On August 5, Honda dealership did a component diagnostic check. They said they found nothing. But this problem has occurred twice now. Something is wrong. I REPEAT: I am very concerned for my safety in driving this car.
