I was driving at 40mph and the vehicle was driving normally when it abruptly lost all power. There was no acceleration when the accelerator was pushed and I had to guide the vehicle to the side of the road. When the car stopped, a brake warning appeared and instructed me to see the dealer. I turned the car off and it would not restart for about 30 seconds. It finally restarted and I was able to drive the short distance home, however the brake warning remained on the dash. I just had the car towed to the dealer. The road conditions were clear and dry and I had no previous problems with the car. Brake warning: "Brake system: Brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer." Thankfully I had not yet entered the highway where the car's rapid deceleration could have caused an accident at highway speeds and jeopardized the safety of those in my vehicle and others on the roadway. I read that there has been a very limited recall on accord hybrids due to similar issues (the federal safety agency CAMPAIGN ID Number: 23V588000) and I believe this issue should be further investigated to determine whether the problems are more widespread.

When driving the car at 45 mph, warning lights came on for: (1)Vehicle Stability system problem. Reduced traction and handling. See your dealer. (2)Electric power steering system problem. Steering assist reduced. See your dealer. (3)Hill start assist problem. Vehicle my role upon brake release. See your dealer. (4)Adaptive cruise control system problem. See your dealer. (5)Brake System problem. Brake Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. While these messages flashed, the car lost ability to accelerate, steer very well, and brake very well. The car came to a stop after it slowed and I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could. I placed in in park, turned it off, and then turned it back on. It drove normally for a few minutes and then another warning light came on for a few seconds. It disappeared and the car drove normally. The dealer said a code showed up but they couldn't replicate the issue. They ended up replacing the battery because they didn't want to give it back to me without a fix. About 4 weeks later, we were stopped on the highway and in park waiting for over an hour. As we sat there, the warning light came on that said, "Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer." The dealer kept the car for 2 weeks, couldn't replicate the problem, and said there were no codes. They offered no fix. 2 weeks after that, the car flashed up a warning light while driving 5 mph in a parking lot. The warning light said that the "Lane assist" was not operational and that I should contact the dealer. I couldn't take a pic of it because it only flashed up for 5-10 seconds. I'm taking the car in later today.
25AUG2023 At 75 mph multiple vehicle systems failed simultaneously and car lost power. Numerous codes were displayed on the dash in succession. Vehicle's loss of power slowed it rather quickly. Messages that I recall being displayed as the car lost power: TPMS; Brake System, Power Steering, Air bag; Vehicle Stability Assist, etc. Small video clip was taken during the event; however, due to obvious safety issues related to trying to move the car safely to the shoulder of the road during morning rush hour traffic, the video is short. Soon after pulling onto the shoulder the vehicle began flashing all electrical items in the car and then there was complete loss of power including the hazard lights. (other videos were taken of the various flashing warnings and the vehicle's behavior as it finally went into complete failure....however, I am unable to upload to this site.) Vehicle was towed to the nearest Honda dealer. Honda North, Butler PA 16001 28AUG2023 Honda dealer verified that the car logged multiple DTC codes for various systems modules but could not replicate the failure. Car was given a short road test and no issues presented themselves. Honda North requested to keep the car for one more day for further investigation and a longer test ride with more diagnostics. 29AUG2023 Honda North performed a longer (@20 mi) road test and stated the vehicle performed without issue. They explained that they had nothing from Honda engineering to indicate any action to take related to such an event. They again acknowledged that multiple DTC codes were logged and all systems were operational while restating that there was nothing to do unless it happened again and a module failed completely.
The contact owns a 2023 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 48 MPH, the brake warning light illuminated, and the vehicle jerked abnormally while coming to a stop. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal aggressively to avoid the vehicle from stopping. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
Regenerative braking system remains applied/engaged/enabled when accelerating.
I was driving the car on I four east toward Orlando going towards Disney World. Just bought the car two days ago and had 10 miles on it. It’s a Honda accord hybrid sport, the engine start shaking smoking while I’m in the middle lane going 70 miles an hour the whole car shuts off and it has every single code known to man come up on HondaLink and I feel like a dealer is making me keep his car.
While driving in NC tonite, I was coming to a stop light near road construction. Suddenly my Accord hybrid jerked and stuttered and then stalled out. When I restarted my Accord hybrid the instrument cluster had a large amber warning that my braking system has a problem and that braking may be reduced. Really? And the warning on my instrument cluster also said to take my 2023 Accord hybrid with 248 miles on it, to the dealer. I just bought the vehicle on Feb 28, 2023! Did I buy a lemon?
