Everytime I drive my car for a few hours the EPS light comes on and I have to pull over and turn my car and on. I have reached out to the dealer and they refuse to fix it. It has been happening for about 2 years. Close to 3.
I was on a hill my car stalled I hit the gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so I let off the padel and went to try to accelerate for the second time but as I did it took off and I hit a pole
1. The Collision Mitigation Breaking System is braking for no reason, at random times while driving 2. My safety and the safety of others is put at risk because when driving on an open road, cars behind me may not have time to break and this could result in an accident. Not to mention, there's nothing in front of my vehicle, so normal things on the road don't cause drivers to assume a car with suddenly brake 3. Yes, the issues been confirmed but I'm expected to pay for it when this has been recalled on several other models 4. This has been happening for the last several months. I put a note in my car to turn off the sensor but as of today, my vehicle will not let me turn off the sensor anymore

Out of the blue car was having a glitch on the screen when turning on the vechical. The battery died and was replaced. Once battery was replaced engine light and brake like will turn on and off. After battery was replaced the engine light turned on and started to read that ignition and sparks plugs are bad. I have spoke to about 50 people with the same car and they are having the same issues and the mechanics do not know what is wrong
Door locks malfunctioning intermittently across multiple doors. Locks cannot be toggled by master control or fob. Passenger in seat of defective lock could be trapped in vehicle in emergency if unable to manually toggle door lock. I have fixed one lock only for the issue to present itself on another door lock immediately after repair.
Vehicle suddenly shut down in traffic second time in a row within 4 days after it was supposedly repair by Honda dealer the first time. It was again my luck that the car engine shut down, suddenly stopped on a road, not on a highway which could result in serious injury to death as sudden stop would cause newsworthy bad crash to my vehicle from oncoming high speed traffic that follows my vehicle. Problem was traced to the latent defective wire harness bundle that runs from the front to the rear of the vehicle throughout the floor board. I believe normal vehicle road vibration during my four years of driving in the high traffic Los Angeles region (a measly 27,700 miles) introduced flexing to the wire harness at certain portion of the latent defective wire harness bundle. The latent defect in the wire harness bundle surfaced its ugly head finally since I own the car new in March, 2019. A segment of the spider wire harness bundle that has the latent intermittent defect disconnected internally to cause the control signal to the fuel pump assembly to stop fuel pump to the engine. Consequently, the vehicle engine shut down, stopped suddenly in traffic again the second time due to lack of fuel. The large spider wire harness bundle was replaced on May 9, 2023. The vehicle is operating properly so far. Clearly this is not a wear and tear issue. It is a latent defective wire harness bundle supplied to Honda by the Honda subcontractors who fabricated the wire harness bundle for the factory build for this 2018 Honda Accord model lot. I like to strongly urge NHTSA to engage Honda to make plans to investigate this lot of wire harness supplied to it now that my vehicle defective wire harness bundle is sent back to the Honda warranty department.
I down loaded my update through the radio. It said complete. I went into the house and the next morning I started it and a bunch of warning lights were on and have stayed on. I can not use some of the buttons on the drivers door, I can not use my key fob unless it is touching the start stop button, I can not open the trunk, the gas cap will not open, and most of all I have lost some power to the interior fuse box. This car is only 5 years old almost to the date and it has had multiple recalls already. I want the BCM reprogrammed and fixed so all this will go away.
Door locks don-??t work with fob intermittently. Often times, failure door can only be locked/unlocked manually by toggled physical mechanism, or by use of key, never buttons or fob. Passenger using said door would have difficulty opening door in the event of emergency, or at least delayed in doing so trying to find the toggle. Issue has not be replicated by either dealer or other professional. Issue has been ongoing for 6 months, but recently one of the door has failed completely so I will be going back to dealer tomorrow. There are no warning indicators to suggest a certain issue.
The infotainment unit on the 2018 Honda Accord does not properly sync up with a music player (such as any given phone) over Bluetooth. This is manifested by the information from the previous track being shown while another track is playing. Honda has been unwilling to properly address the issue via a recall or a software update. Their typical response (to just about every issue) is to take it to the dealer, who is not able to properly troubleshoot and address issues which were caused by the Honda's failures in software (and hardware) development. Ad video of the issue is available (Honda dealer and Honda pretty much refuse to take the videos as an evidence of the issue).

My 2018 Honda Accord Ex-L 91,560 miles has an issue with the fuel pump/injectors while driving on the roadway and/or highway. My vehicle will come to a mid stop abruptly because it is not getting enough power to the engine from the fuel pump. This has caused safety issue to myself, passengers in my vehicle, pedestrians and and other drivers while operating my vehicle. Honda has been made aware of this issue and has over 650,000 vehicles manufactured between 2018-2020 with the same reported issue and has previously issued a recall for only certain 2018-2020 vehicles. Furthermore, Honda refuses to repair my 2018 vehicle under the recall for the same issue based on my VIN#. I have notified Honda of the inherent danger to myself and others and they have ignored the safety hazard and refuse to repair the fuel pump which typically has a life span of 250,000 miles or more.
After getting my car service the service dept. said my brake were ok, two months later my rear driver side brake pads were worn to the metal and my brake caliper needs to be replace along with that brake rotor, I complained I was just in here two months ago and you said they were ok and I asked why just one brake pad wore out they had no answer, I asked will my extended warranty will cover it and they said it would not be covered because it's normal wear and tear. also, all my Warning lights, will come on every once in a while, but by the time i go to the dealer they would cut off so now i just wait to the next day and turn the car off and on until the light go off, when i tell the dealer and show pictures of all the warning lights they say they cannot do anything until they see it themselves.
