Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving slow in a parking lot or parked any wheel movement causes a loud popping or clicking. Dealership diagnosed it as needing a new steering rack on a vehicle with 6000 miles. They should be added to the recall of the civic Integra and CRV‘s as apparently it has the same manufacturer or same problem in the steering rack. I feel very unsafe with my wife in this car, knowing the steering rack (pretty important) could fail at any time.

Complaint Regarding Unresolved Recall #24V-763 and Persistent Defects – 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid Dear NHTSA I am filing a formal complaint regarding an unresolved recall (#24V-763) and persistent defects with my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. Since purchasing this vehicle in December 2023, it has exhibited numerous defects and abnormal behavior Recall pertains to a defect in the high-pressure fuel pump, which increases the risk of fuel leaks and potential fire. Honda has confirmed that repair parts will not be available for an extended period. The following warning messages appeared within the first few weeks of ownership in January 16/2024: Power Steering Problem: Road Departure Mitigation Problem: Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem: Adaptive Cruise Control Problem:Lane Keeping Assist Problem: While these specific issues have been resolved, the experience revealed a pattern of negligence and inadequate support from the dealership, undermining my confidence in their ability to address future problems effectively. The combination of unresolved recall #24V-763, persistent defects, and lack of dealership support has left me with a vehicle that is unsafe and unreliable. Since its purchase, several parts have already been replaced, further demonstrating a pattern of defects and unreliability. I have completely lost confidence in this car’s quality, safety, and functionality. These issues demonstrate that the car has not met reasonable standards of quality and functionality since its purchase. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate the following: Honda’s inability to provide a timely remedy for recall and the safety risks associated with the delay. The repeated refusal of the authorized dealership to adequately address reported defects and provide appropriate service. My eligibility for a replacement vehicle under federal safety and consumer protection laws, given the vehicle’s history of unresolved issues and significant safety risks. Case #15201943

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering wheel feels like it gets stuck on dead center when driving on a perfectly straight level road over 40 mph. When trying to compensate to keep the car in the center of the lane, it feels like you need to apply extra resistance to get the steering wheel to move and then when it moves it feels like it breaks loose causing the wheel to move more than intended resulting in the car moving to far to whichever direction you were trying to move, and then having to turn the wheel in the opposite direction to compensate for the excessive move in that direction. Steering wheel seems perfectly fine until put on dead center for about 10 seconds or longer going perfectly straight. Then it tightens up again and feels the same way when trying to keep the car in the center of the lane. Extra resistance is once again needed, and produces the same result of seeming to stick, then breaking free and over steering the car.

Re: Two Honda Fuel Pump Recalls in 10 Months In 60 years of driving, I never had a recall on a car until February 2024. In the past 10 months, I have had 2 Hondas recalled for life-threatening fuel pump issues. 1) In 2019, I purchased my first Honda, a Civic. 2) In February, 2024, I received a recall on the 2019 Honda Civic for an improperly constructed fuel pump. I was told the car could just stop - and cause an accident in highway driving. I was also told the replacement part for the fuel pump would not be available until the fall of 2024, at least 6 months later. I did not feel safe driving that car so I traded it into Lia Honda in Northampton, MA for a new 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid. 3) On December 16, 2024, I received a recall on the fuel pump for the new Honda Accord which stated that “due to improper production, the high-pressure fuel pump may crack and leak fuel” which “in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire, crash or injury.” From the recall notice“the replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle currently are not available…” Once again, I owned a Honda that would be life-threatening to drive. Because of Honda’s improper fuel pump production, I had to buy my second new car in 10 months. I have a new car - not a Honda. What kind of quality control does Honda have??

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was driving at about 40 mph and the car lost all power and stopped in the middle of the road. Most all of the warning lights were on like low air pressure, reduced brakes and a brake problem light etc. Turned the car off and restarted and drove another 5 miles with the brake problem light still on. Stopped and restarted car and the brake light went off and all seems normal now. From my reading on Honda Accord Forums it might be a bad ICM unit? Will be contacting a Honda dealer soon.

Most all of the warning lights were on like low air pressure, reduced brakes and a brake problem light etc. Turned the car off and restarted and drove another 5 miles with the brake problem light still on. Stopped and restarted car and the brake light went off and all seems normal now. From my reading on Honda Accord Forums it might be a bad ICM unit? Will be contacting a Honda dealer soon.
Corrective Action:
I was driving at about 40 mph and the car lost all power and stopped in the middle of the road.

Honda (american Honda Motor Co.)
Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
On 11/11/2024 while at an intersection with a redlight, I was the first car in the "merge to the right" short lane, stopped and waiting on right lane traffic on the road that intersected to clear. When it was safe to go, I moved my foot to the accelerator and nothing happened. I realized my vehicle had lost power / "died;" that all dashboard lights were out. I quickly put my vehicle gear in "Park" position and restarted. It did restart but immediately a red warning light began flashing saying "Brake System Failure" and "Take Vehicle to Dealer." I was terrified as I proceeded in the right lane of traffic since I had vehicles behind me as well as in front of me and I had to cross an intersection with traffic merging from an interstate highway. There was not a safe place to go; all businesses along this stretch had no entry except on their back side. I had to proceed across several major intersections before I could get to a safe place. Meanwhile, warning lights continued and included more than Brake System Failure. One was showing a Warning diagram about changing lanes of traffic which I had to do. Obviously, brakes worked because I was able to stop when needed but I was afraid the brakes would not work which could have been deadly for myself and others. Once I was stopped and in a safe place, I called Honda Roadside Assistance and my car was towed to the nearest Honda dealership. As of this writing (six days from incident), Honda dealership is still investigating; they have not given me a cause or solution. They are providing me with a loaner car. There is no recall on 2024 Honda Hybrid Touring although there are multiple posts online with people saying they had same thing happen with this model vehicle.
