Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Starting in Sept 2023, while pulling out of a park in a garage, my car started throwing numerous warning messages in the dashboard regarding emissions, ABS, Brake System, Power Steering, etc with the Check Engine Light staying steady. I took it to one Honda dealership who after 'diagnosing' claimed it was the fuel injectors needing to be replaced. The car wasn't jerking or sputtering so I took the car to another mechanic who also didn't believe it was the fuel injectors and felt it was electrical. Took the car to another Honda dealership and they claimed the same thing about injectors. After having a reputable mechanic do software updates that the original or 2nd Honda dealership NEVER checked for (it needed 4 updates, but one of them couldn't be done for LKAS). Most of the warnings went away due to the updates but the LKAS warning and collision warning remained. So I took the car to Safelite (they had replaced my windshield back in July and back then they were able to recalibrate the sensor) BUT this time (Oct 2023) not only were they not able to recalibrate the LKAS, they said the front camera was not communicating with the system and this was an electrical problem and I have to go back to the dealership. After reading NUMEROUS complaints and similar issues in regards to the LKAS, this multiple warnings AND the car ghost braking on its own every now and then months before this, I hope you all really look into this and do a recall or find a solution on this car. Now I am forced to go back to the Honda dealership and will have to threaten them to do their job this time and really look at the car and not just tell me it is needing fuel injectors replaced. The car drives, no jerking, no sputtering, but not having a front camera talking to the system and now the TPMS system keeps saying i have low tire pressure and won't let me calibrate even though my tires are at the optimal 32 level stated in the manual, I fear more issues are going to pop up soon.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Potential Consequences:

After a service visit on May 27, 2023, at my local Honda dealership, I noticed condensation buildup in the front driver’s LED headlight. The car has never been in an accident, and there was no evidence of a strike from road debris. I initially suspected this moisture could be related to humidity, but it never evaporated and remained a problem. I troubleshooted other possible causes but eventually brought it back to the dealer for a more thorough investigation. The dealership determined that the headlamp was cracked/defective and worked with Honda to replace it. Just before the repair, the driver safety system generated multiple warnings about the lighting system and the turn signals failed to work. Once at the dealer, a blown fuse was discovered. It was presumably blown by the defective headlight and replaced. On October 30, 2023, I discovered new cracks in the front passenger LED headlight. Some condensation was also present. As before, the car has not been in an accident and there is no evidence of a strike from road debris. The pattern is strikingly similar to what transpired with the driver’s front headlight. In conclusion, I believe my headlight problems are caused by a manufacturing defect on some 2018 Honda Accord models. My experience with driver system alarms and inoperable turn signals due to a subsequently blown fuse demonstrate that defective headlights can create a serious safety hazard. I respectfully request your assistance with this situation and welcome the opportunity to find an agreeable solution.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Potential Consequences:

When going under an overpass, my cars automatic braking system senses the shadow from the bridge as something in font of me and my car slams on brakes. No incidents have occurred at this time. It has happened at least 10 times and each time no one has been behind me. If there were someone behind me they would rear end me. I explained my concern to Flow Honda in Burlington and they suggested turning the feature off each time I start my car since there was no recall.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Potential Consequences:

A car merged into my lane, the car braking light went on and a beeping noise sounded. After the car in front of us turned and nothing was in front of us, our Honda Broke abruptly and if it wasn’t for the seatbelt I think I would’ve hit the windshield. My daughter is afraid to get In the car because of this incident.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

The entire engine turned off on a few occasions, unsure if it is electrical or the engine. When coming to a light, as the car is decreasing speed, it turned off completely. At this time all the lights appeared (check engine, brake system, etc) on the dash board. While in the middle of the road, I placed the car in park, and was able to restart it. The lights went away from the dash board and the car continued to run like nothing had occurred. Luckily there were no cars behind me. This has now occurred on 2 occasions and it is a hazard for an accident. Yes, the car is available for inspection. No, there were no warning lights nor indication that the car would turn off completely.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Potential Consequences:

Random braking. Freeways or side streets. Fast or slow. Usually it seems to happen in school zones. Nobody in front of me or to the side. Problem comes with braking by itself, is that I almost get rear-ended. People are always trying to push me faster than speed limit. I surprised it hasn't happened YET. Been doing it since new. Had at dealer to lookat it few times.It just got frustrating. They can't replicate. That's the problem. It's RANDOM. Almost got rear-ended today. That is why I'm writing this today 10/16/2023. Been needing to do it for awhile.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

For the last couple of weeks, a bunch of warnings pop up related addaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking and so on. The car ACC would stop working and car would auto brake without hitting brakes. I have checked online and see NHTSA has identified this issue but no action was taken. I am scared for my safety in this vehicle as well as my family. This issue needs to be fixed soon.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

My car is barely at 78,000 miles and I use premium gas, and get oil changes regularly but my car all of a sudden started having a cylinder 4 misfire. Thought it was just my spark plugs having to be changed, but after changing my car was still running rough and still misfired. There is a manufacturing defect for this model where the turbo is too strong for the engine and factory head gasket. There are grooves on the engine block for cooling but the turbo causes too much pressure and then air is creating too much space with the head gasket that can lead to it blowing. A blown head gasket repair is $1,500-$5,000 a repair or having to replace the whole motor if it gets too damaged. There are many examples of this problem on tons of honda accord forums having the same problem around this same mileage. For the images the crease in the engine block is supposed to be for cooling but it part of the root of the problem and the head studs are not strong enough.
