Lanes on the roadway were adjusted for a workzone. Because of these lane adjustments, a large amount of crack sealer was used on the roadway. The car confused the crack sealer as roadway markings and tried to slam on the brakes in a workzone, thinking I was going over the lines, unless I used the turn signal to override the automatic braking, which is the only way I was able to avoid getting rear-ended. This ian't the first time this ecent has occurred in my vehicle.

If im driving at normal rate of speed while on highway the steering becomes very loose and sticky when adjusting steering. The passenger wheel will feel like it wobbles on its camber axis or will act like a shopping cart wheel. At times changing direction of vehicle entirely. At that time suspension will feel really spongy.

Car says “brake system problem, brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer” and then another one saying “brake hold system problem. Apply brake when stoped. See your dealer” and another one that says “Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer.” And I know quite a few people with accords that are having this issue as well!

Note the malfunction described below is CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL for multiple Honda models but has not YET been recalled for the 2021Accord Sport SE. PLEASE ADD TO THE LIST!! I was driving when warning lights flashed, car started to slow down and then shut off. I repeatedly tried to start my vehicle which was unsuccessful. I took my car to Honda and had the low pressure fuel pump changed on 8-1-2024. Today 2-5-2025, it happened again. Seems to be the high pressure fuel pump this time. I did research and this seems to be an issue with a lot of Hondas. Please research and add this to this list. Not to mention my 2021 Accord only has 70k miles

I was driving on the freeway and suddenly my ABE brake activated and I was almost being hit in the back . It was happening many times in the past but when I brought the attention to the Honda dealer and it said nothing was wrong with it

I saw that they are investigating Honda Pilots for an automatic braking issue. I wanted to report that on my car I’ve had the automatic brake warning come on at least 3 times while driving at highway speed with nothing in front of me. This is over a period of 3 years (my car has 40k). The brakes didnt engage, but it alerts you like it will engage for a couple seconds then the alert goes away. It could be related to the Pilot issue. If the brakes did engage I would likely get rear ended on the highway. So far it hasnt happened but it is scary when it does. And totally random as each time no car within 2000ft

Lane keep assist continues to jerk the wheel from my hands with false lane departure warnings. Especially in direct sunlight. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO YOU 100'S OF TIMES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR 4 YEARS. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED AND INJURED IN HONDAS BEFORE YOU ACT?

Honda continues to repair recalls. They have repeatedly told me I can schedule the recall repair and their broken app says I can schedule my airbag recall repair. But, the Honda dealers in San Diego say Honda refuses to send them parts and there is a 4-5 year delay for repairs. And that they have this issue with Honda for numerous other open years old recalls, no parts. The HondaLink app and the software it communicates with is also malfunctioning and the Honda and the dealers refuse to make repairs. Honda has already had 20 customers die from their Takata recall; why are they allowed to keep dragging their feet on recalls while spending billions to purchase Nissan?

Head gasket blown before 50k miles even at 30k miles ive seen it happen to my friend!

NHTSA ODI 11634205

Honda continues to refuse to make recall repairs. Currently telling me that there is a 4-5 wait for repairs because Honda refuses to supply them. Dealers are telling me that Honda will only send them 10 per week and won't send more until the defective ones are returned to Honda. According to my dealer there are 2,000 other customers in line before me for my repairs. Honda also has a defective HondaLink app that work with car to communicate needed repairs and service. Honda says my car needs a software update, dealer says there is no update, no TSB, and no recall. Why is Honda allowed to drag their feet for years with recalls? 20 dead from the Takata recall alone. Shameful lack of oversite!

Honda, US operations based in CA, continues to refuse to fix their recalled cars. I was notified 18 months ago about an airbag recall for my 2021 Honda Accord. Honda is telling customers that "parts will be ready to fix all affected cars next month", but they are telling their dealers that "it may take 4-5 years to provide them these parts". One of their San Diego dealers told me today that they are just starting to repair a fuel pump recall first discovered 2 years ago. Why is Honda allowed to refuse to make timely repairs to their customers vehicles? Their customers continue to be killed due to their Takata airbag recall from years ago because they continue to drag their feet with repairs. Why is Honda allowed to drag their feet with recalls?
