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.
The backup camera does not work approximately 25% of the time car is put in reverse. This is an ongoing problem and has occurred dozens of times over the last 2 months. The screen is blank except for the guidance lines. There are no warning lamps or alarms during the malfunction. The problem has not been confirmed or inspected by the dealer or other representatives.
I am experiencing severe paint peeling on my 2019 Honda Accord sport in areas that are not typically exposed to environmental wear and tear such as inside the trunk, under the hood and inside the door jams. This appears to be a defect in the paint or application process, as these areas should not be vulnerable to such deterioration under normal use. Despite bringing this issue to Honda-??s attention they declined to guarantee the quality of a potential paint repair job. As a result, I had no choice but to repaint the car and my own expense to prevent further damage. I am filing this complaint in hopes that others that have experienced similar issues with their Honda vehicles will report them and that Nhtsa will investigate this apparent defect. This could help ensure that Honda takes accountability and provides assistance to affected owners in the future. This defect not only affects the aesthetics but could potentially lead to long-term issues with rust and corrosion in the areas where the paint is peeling. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue to protect other consumers and encourage manufacturers to address and resolve such quality concerns.
I own a 2019 Honda Accord purchased brand new in 2019. My family and I have been Honda owners forever. My current Honda Accord LX has 96,000 miles and recently my Emissions dashboard illuminated. I took my vehicle to Gillman Honda and to my surprise I have been advised the Turbocharger needs to be replaces and it will cost me $2,900. I'm also still on the waitlist for the Fuel Pump Recall Honda has failed to provide parts for the past year which is incurring me extra expenses on buying gas way more than I should. After reading multiple complaints, I'm convinced Honda is fully aware of the Turbocharger issues and have failed to initiate a recall. I'm very frustrated with the lack of transparency and accountability Honda is conducting regarding their manufacturing process. Why is a car at 5 years old experiencing a blow in a turbocharger and why is it taking over a year to have parts in place for a recall for fuel pump a car that could lead to extra expenses and damage to a vehicle? I am requesting Honda immediately provides the fuel replacement part needed for the recall for my vehicle and contact me for a definite date for repairs and reimbursement for this service that my car shouldn't need due to their failure in manufacturing. Please investigate their turbocharger system problems on their new cars.
We received a notice on 2/16/24 for the fuel pump impeller recall, and we called the dealership and they said we have to wait until early Fall to call them back. We called back many times and have continually been told to call back. It's now 2/3 way through fall and our car still has not been fixed and we're still being told to wait and call back. On your website it states to file a complaint online if the manufacturer is unable to remedy this in a -??timely manner-?? and this is the only form we could find to submit a complaint. It-??s been almost a year since the recall started on December 18, 2023 and almost 9 months since we got the notice in the mail, and our car is still not fixed.

There is an issue going on in which the door lock actuators within the Door Latch Assembly are failing. This issue happened to my vehicle and through a Google search you can see that it's happening to several others. Because of this issue, the doors of the vehicle will not open via remote unlock, only via manual insertion of the key and physically unlocking the other doors. In a situation where you need to quickly enter your vehicle, this is very problematic. Additionally, if I choose to remote start the vehicle, as soon as I use the physical key to unlock the driver side door, the vehicle turns off essentially negating the remote start. I went to the dealership and used the diagnostic device to determine that these devices were failing electronically and I had to have both of my left side assemblies replaced at a high cost.
My car has difficulty starting and shows up that the battery is dead. When I checked the battery, it was fine. My car has a strange smell coming out of the AC, my oil light is on even if the oil is fine and brand new. Something is wrong with the fuel pump as well.
Unlnown. I need a recall service done on my vehicle, I have not been able to receive this service and my vehicle has hesitation during driving when I want to accelerate entering highways.
"Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer" and the air bag warning light was turned on multiple times. Upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the warning lights are not turned on sometimes. But at random times, the failure reoccurred persistently. Noticed that my vehicle has 5 different Recalls but my VIN only has one recall needed(?). Managed to figure out that the SRS system is faulty due to the front passenger's belt buckle being stuck sometimes. Dealership won't let me replace the belt buckle for free since my VIN is not part of the recall process. Faulty SRS won't work if accident occurs and driver is at the risk always. Also, during driving there is a weird struting noise that happens behind the steering wheel. Can't seem to make out what or where the noise is coming from.
Everything comes on my dashboard it doesn't let me go in fast than 45 or it will shut off when I am driving and it doesn't let me drive uphill it starts to slow down and stop but if I turn it off and back on it will start off going great and then it will stop working again I have taken it in to hoada and it is gotten me no were please help
Faulty rear view backup camera. The camera is transmitting images with bright pink and green blotches which makes it difficult to see what is behind the car. The distortion is apparent to anyone looking at the camera image. I first noticed the issue on 6/29/2024. The car is available for inspection upon request.
1.the AC is not working no more I told the people at the Honda dealer that it will hiss and my car will vibrate in the seats and this been going on for 2 years and I had Honda care and the people at the dealership told me it-??s not nun to worry saying it-??s common for Honda now I don-??t have AC at all
Back up camera malfunctioning since the past couple weeks. It displays these colorful artifacts as shown in the attached images. It makes it harder to observes obstructions, cars while backing up. Haven't got this component inspected yet but looking online, it seems to be a issue common to different Honda models (particularly 2019 Models) - see link below [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
2019 Honda Accord SRS (supplement restraint system) unit light came on. The dealership informed me that the SRS unit and the driver side airbags are defective. The dealership had the car for a week attempting to figure out the issue and replaced both the SRS unit and the driver side airbags. They gave me the car back and 15 miles later the SRS unit light came back on. There is a safety concern with this because this module is what tells the airbags to deploy properly. And the driver side airbag was defective as well.
I callled the dealership and they said they do not have any remedy yet for this recall. I rent my car on turo platform and they delisted my car due to this recall and I am losing my business cause of this recall since Honda doesnot have came with any solution.
My car is making loud siren noise when backing up. I took my car to the dealer a few times and they said it's nothing they can do about the noise. They do not know why the noise is happening. I research other Honda cars and people are talking about the same problem. It's not fair my car is making this loud noise. I was willing to pay for it to be fixed but Honda said they understand but it's nothing they can do. I bought my car brand new in 2019. It's only 2024. This problem started at least 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. Honda is still selling cars with this problem occurring in short time. NOT FAIR!!
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.
The malfunctioning component is the electronic door lock system of my 2019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid, specifically the driver's side door. This problem persists and is available for inspection. The failure of this system posed a safety risk as it prevents secure access and egress from the vehicle. I was unable to unlock my vehicle using the electronic key fob or the interior lock/unlock button, which could pose a problem in emergency situations where quick exit from the vehicle is required. The problem has been reproduced over a period of 6-8 weeks, with the issue becoming consistent and isolated to the driver's side door. The issue has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet, nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. My car has recently aged out of warranty and given the experiences of others online, I don't have the money to hand over to the dealer for diagnostic fees with zero resolution. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the issue's occurrence. It started sporadically, sometimes affecting different doors, but in recent weeks, it has been a consistent problem with the driver's door. This problem isn't exclusive to my vehicle. I've read online forums where others, even with different models of Honda Accords, have encountered similar issues, suggesting this could be a common issue across certain models. One person described a similar, erratic door lock behavior where the failure would switch from door to door. It was speculated that the issue could be either software-related or potentially a faulty relay that couldn't supply power to all the actuators simultaneously. Given these circumstances, I think it's crucial to investigate this matter further, as it poses both a security and safety risk for Honda Accord users.
