| Oct 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | In 2 instances the car put on brakes for no reason. Nothing was in front of car. I was traveling roughly 70 mph and car slowed down and brake indicator came on, also going 75 with cruise control on and the system that brakes the car slowed the car down and then just quit working. Warning lights came on saying system failure but after car was turned off then turned back on there were no warnings. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Wednesday 10/01/25 I was driving to work on the highway with cruise control on, it was a empty road with nothing in front or behind me, my steering wheel got yanked out of my hands and turned all the way to the right towards the guard rail, then the steering wheel got yanked all the way to the left automatically, I did a 180 degree spin and crash my 2019 Honda Accord Touring 2.0L. I believe the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) was at fault as well as the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The vehicle got towed off the highway directly to a local body shop. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Mine and others safety was put at risk because the vehicle decided to crash itself potentially killing me or other people. The vehicle just arrived at the body shop and no diagnosis has been done yet. The vehicle is not drivable so the problem has not been reproduced. Vehicle has not been inspected and looked into yet, I am waiting for the body man to do a deep dive into it or I am planning on bringing it back to the dealership. There was no warning lamps present. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION | With my 2019 Honda accords I have had this car going on 4 yrs and now all my dashboard lights are on .. and stay on . Seltbelt lights , lane lights , brake, check engine light and light u can think of it's on in this car and it's not just my car | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | In the past 2 months my car starting having rough idle issues. As recommended by the dealership, I replaced the head gasket as they said it was leaking coolant into the cylinder causing the rough idle. Almost immediately after paying for this, the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with multiple warnings and the car went into limp mode, lost acceleration and would have been extremely dangerous had we been on the interstate or multi lane road. Took it back to the dealership, ran another diagnostic and determined the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. These repairs cost over $5,000. Recalls have already been put in place for models around this one and Honda should acknowledge these problems as it is wide spread. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My vehicle’s fuel delivery system failed after a recall repair. The in-tank fuel pump was replaced under recall by the dealer, even though I had no drivability complaints, no warning lights, and a full inspection that day confirmed no issues with my vehicle. Immediately after the recall pump replacement, the vehicle developed drivability problems including sputtering, hesitation, and failure to start.On one occasion, the underside of the car overheated and exhaust fumes, including carbon monoxide, entered the cabin. The interior filled with heat and fumes, I became lightheaded, dizzy, and shaky, and nearly lost consciousness while driving. My dog, who was with me, vomited and panted heavily from the exposure. I had to pull over and exit the vehicle immediately. This incident occurred only after the recall pump was replaced and points to faulty installation or malfunction of the recall component, which disrupted the fuel system and caused improper combustion and exhaust handling. On another occasion, the vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection, leaving me at serious risk of being hit by cross traffic. The car now shows a high-pressure fuel pump fault. Although the in-tank pump and the high-pressure pump are in different locations, they are part of the same system: the in-tank pump supplies steady fuel volume and pressure directly to the high-pressure pump. If the in-tank pump is defective, mis-installed, or inconsistent, it causes the high-pressure pump to fail. This made my vehicle unsafe to operate, placing me, my passengers, and other drivers at risk. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership, which documented a high-pressure fuel pump fault, and reviewed by Honda Corporate. Components and service records are available for inspection. There were no warning lamps, messages, or drivability issues prior to the recall service, all symptoms appeared immediately afterward. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ENGINE | The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure had occurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion and engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a second opinion and price comparison. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 104,000 |
| Sep 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I bought this car used in August 2022. September 2022, I paid for diagnostics because every warning light was on. They returned the car and the warning lights were clear. They eventually reappeared. I called, complained and was told I would need to pay for another diagnostic. This has been an ongoing problem. The lights are: Collision Mitigation, braking system problem. TPMS system problem, check tire pressure. Brake System problem, brake performance may be reduced. Brake system, brake hold system problem, apply brake when stopped. Electric power steering system problem, steering assist reduced. Vehicle stability assist system problem, reduced traction and handling. Hill start assist problem, vehicle may roll upon brake release. ACC, adaptive cruise control system problem. Road departure mitigation system problem. Emission system problem, avoid heavy acceleration and high speed. When the battery is disconnected for 15 minutes, then reconnected the lights clear, only to reappear within a few miles of driving. This is very concerning. My teenager will be driving soon and this is an unacceptable safety issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I have taken my car to the Honda dealership on multiple occasions because my car has stopped accelerating while driving on the interstate. The car will flash the check engine light and completely stop accelerating while driving. I was first told it was the fuel pump that was recalled and waiting over a year on the recalled part and multiple times breaking down while driving they finally replaced the part. After the dealership replaced fuel pump I continued to have problems unfortunately happening more often and worse than before replacing the fuel pump. I was then told my car was misfiring and needing a tune up which would involve replacing all four coil packs and spark plugs. I replaced all of these recommended parts with no resolution to my problem. I have since be told by the dealership my car needs all four fuel injectors replaced after running the diagnostic tests. After doing research it seems to be a common problem with this make and model car. I can’t believe with as many cars with this same issue and the safety issues with completely stalling in the middle of traffic there are no recalls on these cars. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | POWER TRAIN,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | My son was driving home from work when car suddenly went into limp mode with check engine light and all other safety light came on the dash. Driving around 50mph and my son nearly collided with multiple cars as the became hard to steer and brakes unreliable. Luckily no one was hurt this time. Car has 83k miles. was taken to the dealer and diagnostics run and provided with a $5000. repair to replace the head gasket due to coolant leaking into cylinder #3 causing misfires. I have reached out to Honda of America with the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | All the lights on the dash board is on, car won’t accelerate pass 20mph. I have gotten the fuel pump replaced (recall), head gasket replaced, ignition coals and spark plugs replaced(tune up) , oil changed, engine hair filter and cabin air filter. Every other week it’s something wrong with my 2019 Honda accord. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I feel like my car should be under recall it’s so many other who experiencing the same thing. all of my lights are on, on the dash. Check engine light down to my cruise control not working. as I drive it’s stalling and jerking. I went to the dealership to have my spark plugs and my fuel injectors replace and it started back doing the same thing. Spent thousands just to be going through the same exact thing. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | During highway driving the collision system starts to brake without any risk or objects in view. Happen twice within 10 minutes | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ENGINE | My family's 2019 Honda Accord with ~80k miles suddenly had all the warnings lights flashing on the dashboard in early July 2025. The initial diagnostic reader showed a Cylinder 3 misfire. After replacing spark plugs, the warning lights returned after one week; at that time, the ignition coil was replaced but the warning lights returned again after one week of driving. The Honda dealership performed further diagnostics and tests, ultimately reporting that the engine needed fuel injectors replaced AND a head gasket. It is important to mention that when we initially called the dealership's service department to make an appointment, the Service representative that answered the phone immediately recognized this issue, saying that it is a well known issue with Accord 1.5 turbo engines. Honda Corporate has stated that the car is outside of the manufacturer's warranty and that there is no recall. Note that there are class action lawsuits in the US on this matter, as well as lots of online traffic of car owners experiencing this issue with the Honda 1.5T engine. It appears that there is a serious design flaw in the engine. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ENGINE | While driving my 2019 Honda Accord, the engine began misfiring and losing power. A diagnostic scan showed misfire codes (P0300–P030X). The issue was traced to coolant leaking into the combustion cylinder due to a head gasket defect. This caused engine hesitation, reduced acceleration, and risk of stalling while in traffic. I have learned that Honda has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for this issue, but no recall. This is a serious safety concern because loss of power or stalling could cause an accident, especially at highway speeds or during turns/intersections. The repair is extremely costly for owners, and the defect appears to be widespread in 2018–2019 Accord models with the 1.5L turbo engine. This should be investigated and addressed as a recall to protect drivers. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | On May 13, 2025, I took my car to the Honda dealership, because all of the lights on the dashboard came on. I was told that the clips on my turbocharger needed to be replaced, and so Honda fixed that $120 (diagnostic fee) $209.99 to fix the issue. I was traveling so they kept the car for a week. I received the car back, and about 2 weeks later, 06/03, the same thing occurred, I was told that the engine air filter needed to be changed, and it caused the lights to go off $32.84. The next day 06/06, the lights went off again. I took my car back to the Honda dealership and they had the car from 06/09 - 09/04. Today they have reached out to say “It took a while to recreate the issue because they are ‘masking each other.’ There is a leak in the head gasket, and the turbocharger is going out.” It would be cheaper to buy a used engine and used turbocharger than to have it rebuilt.” I have spoken with other Honda owners, who have a 2018-2022 Honda accord, that have experience the same issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Driving along at approximately 41 mph, CMBS unexpectedly activated for no apparent reason. There was no object in road to potentially collide with. Warning system barely activated before CMBS engaged braking very hard. Vehicle went from 41 mph to 31 mph in 2 seconds as recorded on dash cam. This is the 2nd occurrence in the same approximate location, both for no apparent reason & with no object in road ahead. Had an another car been following closely, this would have caused injury. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Infotainment system is not able to connect to any devices will not update system and Bluetooth will not stay on | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Although my VIN currently shows no open recalls (because the fuel pump recall was previously marked completed), the replacement part failed while driving in traffic, leaving me stranded. This vehicle previously had the low-pressure fuel pump replaced under the Honda recall campaign. On [XXX], the replacement fuel pump failed again while driving in rush hour traffic in North Dallas, causing the vehicle to stall in a live lane and creating a major safety hazard. I attempted dozens of restarts without success. The vehicle was towed to Coit Auto Center ($80), where they performed a diagnostic test confirming low-pressure fuel pump failure codes — the same component that was recalled. On August 16, 2025, the vehicle was then towed ($223) to John Eagle Honda in Dallas (the original selling dealer and recall repairer). Honda and the dealership stated the repeat failure was not warrantable because the recall repair had already been performed once. This is unacceptable. A recall remedy that fails is still a recall compliance issue, not a customer-pay repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Honda’s handling of repeat recall failures. The vehicle requires replacement of the defective pump and coverage of labor costs, as well as a full diagnostic inspection (starter, alternator, battery, ignition, ECU, and electronics) to ensure it is safe for road use after the stall and restart attempts.

| Aug 2025 | ENGINE | At 98,000 miles, the head gasket is blown. From a safety concern, the car goes into LIMP mode while driving and had to swerve out of traffic. A Honda Certified Dealer Service center confirmed the Blown head gasket It was only inspected by Honda Mechanics. The threw a service engine soon warning lamp which disabled the engine. This happened a few times while driving before getting it diagnosed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES | The contact owned a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the computer system failed. The contact stated that the traction control, tire pressure warning system, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the power steering seized, and the tires slipped. In addition, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact attempted to steer the vehicle onto the shoulder of the road. The contact’s vehicle crashed into a metal wall several times. The contact sustained injuries to the left shoulder and his neck. In addition, the contact sustained multiple bruises and bumps. The contact received medical treatment from the contact’s primary care physician. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. An independent mechanic connected a scanner to the black box, and the vehicle's computer displayed a warning. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the vehicle was condemned total loss. A police report was filed. The contact obtained the black box and was seeking assistance with collecting the stored data. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | 31,000 |
| Aug 2025 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly decelerated and failed to properly accelerate before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the local mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The fuel pump was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); and the fuel pump was replaced, but the failure occurred. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,018. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 56,018 |
| Aug 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | When the car is in reverse the reverse camera displays what looks like high contrast has been applied. It has a rainbow colors and the picture gets very distorted, especially when its night time or when the camera is facing the sun. It's extremely difficult to see pedestrians or oncoming cars. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | ENGINE | 2019 Honda Accord 1.5L turbo has confirmed cracked head gasket at 94,000 miles verified by certified mechanic. No prior warning light indicator. Car began misfiring and jerking while driving and was unable to accelerate. Took several weeks before the dash displayed any warning light indicator. After doing research, we were made aware there is a class action lawsuit against Honda Motor Company for this being a known issue in 2018-2022 Accords and it was never disclosed or addressed properly by Honda. This is a major safety concern as the car can shut off while driving, jerk, shake and lack acceleration. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE | My car has been sending several warnings including: Brake System: Electric Parking Brake System Problem, Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Supplemental Restraint System Problem, and Power Steering Reduction Problem. My car is not even 100,000 miles yet. I have had all maintenance done on time and recently had brakes replaced. I have changed my battery and tires twice within the 6 years of owning the car. It seems this is a regular complaint for such low mileage. I was a Toyota person but switched to Honda for their safety performance, and now I am regretting that. I read that this is the Turbo needing to be changed. This part should be recalled if it is failing soon. A person who just bought a car should not be paying $4500 in repairs already. I had the Fuel Pump recall replacement done, and had the brakes done. I am changing the spark plugs and ignition coils next week. Honda needs to do something about this and I am looking to join in the class action suit against them, if they do not correct the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | While driving ~40 mph call all of a sudden lost power in middle of busy street, was not able to steer or drive (pedals weren't working to provide power). I pulled off to side and saw check engine light blinking and warning message pop up about Brake system not working. I turned the car off then turned it back on and worked normally and was able to drive home. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
