| Dec 2023 | PARKING BRAKE | The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the electronic parking brake became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer stated that the button was stuck due to debris. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the parking brake switch needed to be replaced. The contact had a second appointment scheduled with the dealer to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 95,400. | Crash: No Fire: No | 95,400 |
| Dec 2023 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | No warning lamps were on. Took the car to Honda of Murfreesboro TN I was told I had a blown head gasket fluid around cylinder 2 but my car has never ran out never had a issue I started to hear liquid bubble in dashboard turbo had to be replaced didn't fix the issue spark plugs are being replaced often to keep lamps off and car functions working properly antifreeze is being monitored because it's burning rapidly car goes into limp mode when you get up to certain speed on highway or when you go to pull out into traffic | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | ENGINE | I spoke with Josh (Service Manager) on 02/22/2023 after coming back to the dealership after the scar stalled while driving on Interstate 635. Almost getting in an accident and trying to drive the car back to the dealership, the car began bucking once again and wouldn't go pass 40 miles an hour on an interstate where the speed limit reaches 70 MPH. I called and spoke to Mr. Rey, the service advisor an explained I was coming in. I arrived and told him I wanted to speak with the service manager immediately, he informed me to give him a minute. I stated to Josh that this was unacceptable and for me to be a loyal customer to where since I've been in Texas for over two years, my car has been serviced there and I have a complete record to show that. All maintenance has been completed and things that aren't, plans are made with Mr. Rey to complete them at a later time that works for my budget. After talking with him, I was told to wait in the waiting room while he looked a few things. After an hour, Mr Rey, comes and said that Josh had two options. To trade out of my car or pay $1495 to have the head gasket fixed instead of paying $2995.00 before taxes. After going back and speaking with Josh, I explained I shouldn't have to pay that because his guys messed up to where you guys have already had to come out of pocket $1500. If he messed up again, that is your problem not mine so I shouldn't have to pay that. He basically said that we already spent money and not putting more into it but I kept telling him, that it was an issue they caused. You took liability for it already when you paid for the first incident then you come back saying, "oh trade out it"? He stated that was all he could offer, so after I ask Mr Rey to bring my car around and explained to Mr. Rey (Because Josh was becoming disrespectful). | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Automatic braking occurs at any time for no reason. This is extremely dangerous. I've almost been hit from behind a dozen times when my car suddenly puts on the brakes for no reason. I submitted this information to you several years ago and never heard a thing back. This system was apparently designed for people who drive impaired/distracted who shouldn't be on the road to begin with. I drive attentively and if I need to apply the brakes I do so. When I'm being tailgated it freaks me out because I know it's an accident waiting to happen if my car slams on the brakes. I can not turn this function off or disable it. (the date below is today as this field is required. It's been happening on average once every 100 miles.) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | All warning lights come on and engine lags. Lights come on every time and lags about every 10th time driven. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2023 | POWER TRAIN | I drove my 2019 Honda Accord EX-L from my house, about ¼ mile, to a stop light. I noticed that the outside temperature readout on the dash, which started out at 28 degrees, was rapidly rising. By the time the light turned green, the outside temp read 42. After driving several hundred feet the readout dropped back to 28 degrees. After traveling about 1 mile more, at either the next or 2nd red light I came to, while idling, I noticed the car was vibrating. I put the car in neutral, raised the engine speed slightly, and the vibrations went away. I placed the transmission back into drive, and when I went to accelerate, the car would not go faster than about 10 MPH, and the “malfunction indicator light” came on. I was able to make a U turn and head back towards home. Even at 3000 RPM the car was going about 10 MPH, but I noticed if I took my foot off the accelerator, as the RPM’s were winding down, it was like the transmission engaged just a little, enough to speed up an MPH or two. If I gave it gas again, I was back to about 10 MPH max. I limped back to my home, and had to leave with my other car for an appointment. While I was away, my wife heard the Honda’s horn in our driveway continuously honking. She went to the Honda and when she grabbed the driver side handle, the honking stopped. That afternoon I had the car towed to Troy Honda. When they drove it, it worked fine, and they got no hits when they scanned the computer. I picked up the car without the problem found or solved. The service manager said without it acting up on their test drive and nothing showing up on the computer, there was nothing they could do. How can the malfunction indicator light come on, and then leave no code to be read? This is definitely a safety issue. This problem could be deadly if it happens, for example, when I am in the middle lane on an interstate. At the least this problem could leave me stranded who knows where. This is serious. This is dangerous. In my opinion | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | On Thursday November 16th at around 8:00 am I was driving down La Cienega Blvd going around 30-40 mph. I was about to pass a green light when my 2019 Honda accord sport started showing the brake signal on my dash. My car suddenly brakes and comes to a complete stop by itself in the middle of the road. There were no cars in front or on either side of me, no potholes or anything of that matter that would’ve caused this to happen. I am now suffering with severe neck and shoulder pain from this unexpected incident. My 1 year was also in the car with me. My car is now being inspected at the Honda dealership where it was purchased. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 | Unknown |
| Nov 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 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! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2023 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was highway driving when suddenly a brake light flashed on and off and car came to an immediate stop (then go). There was no use of the brake pedal, nothing ahead of me - and fortunately no one behind be which could have resulted in a serious crash, Safety was a major risk!! Husband checked fluid, car is now "awaiting" inspection at a reputable diagnostic service location. Read an article about these similar defects/complaints, but the Honda dealership claims there have been no like incidents, complaints or concerns. I read otherwise that indicated such events were under investigation (CNN Wire Feb 27,2002). When I called another dealership, they explained that there were not enough complaints to warrant a (safety recall). I beg to disagree!! Today's date is 11/04/2023. Thank you. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Since may or June of 2023 my car has automatically breaked at random times without coming close to anything. It has happened approximately 5 times, 3 times on the freeway when I was going anywhere from 40/70 miles an hour and twice on side streets going less then 20 miles an hour. It has caused me to think I was getting rear ended due to the brakes slamming for no reason. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Oct 2023 | TIRES | The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that on three separate occasions, a bubble had formed on three different tires which resulted in the tires being replaced. On each occasion, an abnormal, thud-like sound was coming from the vehicle. Once the vehicle was taken for an inspection, the contact was notified that a bubble had formed on the tire. The contact stated that the failure had occurred twice with the rear passenger’s side tire, and once on the front driver’s side tire, each with a different tire brand.

| Oct 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES | My three year old daughter was locked in the vehicle recently which is a major safety concern and was a very terrifying experience. All door locks were malfunctioning. I was unable to gain access to her for several minutes via my key fob or manually pulling the handle/latch. It was in the 40s, after several minutes I was able to gain access through the drivers door. I struggled to undo her car seat from the front. Finally I was able to reach her and she crawled out through the front seat. I was frantic because I was unable to manually unlock the doors when the door release latching system failed. The very next morning I went to warm up the car to take my daughter to school and 10warnings displayed: TPMS, brake system hold, brake system performance, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control x2, electric power steering, collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation. This incident constitutes as CHILD ENDANGERMENT in the state of NC. I am terrified and afraid to drive this vehicle, because if in the event of an emergency the doors/car could malfunction AGAIN and we would not be able to exit the vehicle. Surprisingly, I took my car the next morning to a scheduled diagnostics appointment with my certified Honda dealership and they failed to identify the problem. This experience is very anxiety provoking and overwhelming to know that the one thing that is supposed to protect us and keep us safe is the one thing that failed us. Someone needs to hold Honda accountable before this defect results in bodily harm/injury and/or death. This is something that should be taken seriously as Honda has had known problems with the body control modules and safety mechanisms. I would like for NHTSA to conduct a causation survey for failure of safety mechanisms. I would like an update after investigations have been conducted. Sincerely, Terror stricken and perplexed mom. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Sep 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | We were driving on I 75 southbound just north of Knoxville. We were in high speed lane going 60 mph (adaptive cruise control and front collision mitigation systems were on). We were on cruise, and had been for many miles. Our cars adaptive system had slowed us to 60 mph due to traffic, and again this had been for several miles. The cars braking system suddenly brought the car to a stop. I swerved to left to get in median and floored the gas peddle to get out of the way of traffic behind me but nothing worked. The car came to a complete stop in seconds. Again in high traffic in the fast lane of interstate. It was a clear, beautiful day. Luckily the 3 vehicles behind me were able to swerve and brake in order not to hit us. If it had been a semi behind us…. We would not have had a chance. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Sep 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving 40 mph on a street when the car's break suddenly went on and the car stopped. There wasn't another car in front of me, no animals or birds were crossing my path, the car just braked and then stopped. The car then started moving again after I pressed down on the accelerator. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | SEAT BELTS,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
