The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle stalled but restarted.

The vehicle was taken to stokes Honda North (8650 rivers ave, North charleston, SC 29406, (843) 572-4700) but was not diagnosed nor repaired.

Incident #1: 04/29/2019, 562 miles on odometer. Vehicle was backed up into the parking spot and stopped the vehicle showed yellow "brake system" dash light and 2 warning messages one was generic brake system problem. Second was elaborating that brake fluid may be low and instructing to check if brakes operate normally. I checked the brake pedal and it had noticeable less resistance. After a minute the condition cleaned itself, the error messages disappeared, the brake pedal feel returned to normal. I did not have enough time to document the problem. I checked the brake fluid level and it was normal, then immediately brought vehicle to the dealer. Technician found no stored error codes, performed. System reset. Honda recommendation was to keep driving the vehicle. Incident #2: 07/17/2019, 3268 miles on odometer. After a commute parking car, the vehicle showed yellow "brake system" dash light and 2 warnings. These were exactly the same as in incident #1 this time, I made pictures, these can be provided if needed and are attached here: Https://community.cartalk.com/T/2019-Honda-Accord-hybrid-intermittent-brake-system-warning-light-and-on-dash-warnings/150465 brake pedal it was soft/spongy same as with incident #1, after a minute the condition cleaned itself, the error messages disappeared, brake feel returned to normal after error message disappeared. I brought the vehicle to the dealer, shared photos. They found nothing and raised it to Honda corporate, who had no solution either. Honda recommended driving the vehicle until new incident occurs at this point, I asked for vehicle to be replaced under Virginia lemon law, which qualifies serious safety defect after the first occurrence, but was denied by Honda. Ncds arbiter sided with Honda. Since Honda introduce no repairs, the problem is still hidden in the car, it is a ticking bomb.
