Filed Aug 12, 2019 · Engine · 118,981 miles · CA

Takata recall: when starting the car, the engine light is on stating: "emission system problem & engine cooling system problem." this somehow trigger a safe fail mode that prohibits the car going faster than approximately 40 miles an hour. When the car was brought to the honda dealership for diagnosis, it showed dtc p2602 stored for electric water pump low voltage. They were able to perform the electric water pump performance and it cleared the code. But within 24 hours, the dtc returns and the engine light is on again and the car wouldn't be able go faster than 40 miles per hour..

Pulling out of a shopping plaza onto the highway, driving about 20mph at first, the rear of the car started shaking mildly. Within a few seconds the car started shaking excessively, vibrating very loudly. I thought I had 2 flat tires but then the indicator lights came on...the check engine symbol and the "power system problem" I immediately pulled over and checked the vehicle all of the tires were ok. I sat for a few minutes letting it cool down started the vehicle and all of the display warnings were off I turned off the "econ" option and pushed the "EV" (electric vehicle) button hoping if the problem was related to that, those options would now be disabled I very slowly drove it home (about 2 miles). Driving about 55mph on the highway the exact same happened as above except this time the car slowed down almost immediately and the steering wheel got very loose I pulled into the median the rumbling is very concerning it is so aggressive that it sounds like the car is falling apart. It seems like the engine is all messed up. I'm not sure if the options I checked are correct, the options to check for the problems it might include something I didn't check mark or I might have check marked something unrelated. I just did my best to guess. I don't know a lot about cars so maybe you could verify that the information problem areas are correct. Thank you please advise the exact same thing happened.

Problem usually occurs during the day and when the weather is hot. Power system problem display comes on and engine service light as well. Turning the car off and on helps but the engine light stays on for another 24 hrs or so before turning off. The car felt like it lose gas engine power and operates electric only. I was going 65mph on the freeway, and when I try to step on the gas peddel, I can maintain that speed as long as the battery had enough power but the gas engine will not kick on. It was not a pleasant experience as I was driving on the left lane and was quickly trying to move over to the right on a freeway without shoulders. Luckily I was able to make it to the next nearest exit, half a mile away. Had the error msg appear 4 times in 2 weeks. Took the car to the dealer 3 times within that time frame. My first visit, they didnt see anything wrong, no dtc codes, no check engine light. Second visit, I told them about the software update I saw on this site. They applied patch tsb 15-057 hv cell voltage sensor (cvs) software update, took the car home, when to work later in the afternoon, and power system problem message came on again. Third visit, no dashboard lights stayed on once again, told them about how it was my 3rd visit in 2 weeks. Tech drove the car for 10 miles, power system problem pops up. Found dtcs codes finally. Code p108 - generator motor inverters, and code 0562 - generator motor control module system low voltage. Tech performed troubleshooting for p108c and reapplied patch, I guess it didnt go thru the first time? Drove it for another 10 miles and found no errors this time. It has been 5 days since my last visit and I have not had the issue since. Also to note, it has not been as hot here in the northeast the last few days. Highs in the 70s compare to 80s-90s when I began having this issue.

While driving my honda accord 2015 on interstate 75 in the left lane, the dashboard displayed a warning that there was a power system failure, the engine light came on. The vehicle immediately lost all power. The dashboard display was still lit and the radio continued to play. There was no resistance with the gas pedal and the car could only coast. I checked traffic and changed lanes to the far right emergency pull off. I turned off the car and then restarted it and the power system failure warning was gone but then a brake system warning came on. The car did travel foward with gas pedal and the brake seemed to work so I stayed in emergency lane and proceeded to closet exit off i75. I went to auto zone but they could not assist me. When the car was restarted all the warnings were clear. I took it the a honda dealer and ask for a diagnostic. Honda service person said that if I was driving with both feet (one on gas and one on brake) that loss of power. I was not driving with both feet, so I asked him to run a diagnostics so I felt safe enough to drive home. The diagnostics revealed that the computer needed an update that was performed by service. I read the paperwork on the diagnositcs and there was a statement that described my incident completely with sudden loss of power. My car is not on a recall list. Honda seemed to know exactly what to fix, but I was never notified that my car needed an update resulting in power system failure. Why was this information not communicated to the owners of these cars? For a brand new car to be able to display all kinds of information (ie, oil life, range of miles, time for service) why can not the car display that its computer needs an update and to take in for service? There was no injury thankfully, but easily this could have happen, I was just lucky that I was able to coast over to the emergency lane and was not going uphill.
