Vehicle stalled and had a power system failure requiring driver to pull off to the side of a road that blocked traffic. The acceleration/drive function no longer worked. The vehicle displayed a POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM message on the dashboard and showed "DO NOT DRIVE". Vehicle was towed to HONDA dealership and they confirmed the fuel pump needs to be replaced. The vehicle had a replacement of the fuel pump in 2022 as part of a prior recall, but the same component is responsible for this situation four years later. Dealership is quoting $1,931 for repairs and Honda America is refusing to cover repair as they claim the 2022 replacement is not related to this incident. They will not confirm whether the parts supplier in 2022 were changed to account for the expanded recall that is part of an ongoing lawsuit settled in 2026 (to be determined when finalized).

Component or System Failed: The head gasket appears to have failed, leading to coolant leaking into cylinder 4. This has been confirmed by two separate service centers. The vehicle is currently available for inspection if needed. Safety Risk: The failure caused engine misfires and dashboard warning lights to activate while driving, which could have led to a sudden loss of power or control. I had to pull over and restart the vehicle to regain drivability, which put my safety and that of others at risk. Reproduced or Confirmed by a Dealer or Service Center: Yes. The issue was first diagnosed by Honda of Sumner, who initially suspected a compression issue. Their master mechanic later confirmed it was likely a head gasket failure. A second opinion from Greg’s Japanese Auto confirmed the diagnosis and provided photos showing coolant in the cylinder. Inspected by Manufacturer or Others: Yes. The vehicle was inspected by Honda of Sumner and Greg’s Japanese Auto. No inspection has been done by police or insurance representatives. Warning Lamps or Symptoms Before Failure: Yes. After a recent service (which included an AC repair, fuel pump recall, and oil change), I experienced two misfires in cylinder 4 within 24 hours. All dashboard warning lights came on during one of the incidents. These symptoms began four days after the service. Additional Context: I was quoted $8,100 for the head gasket repair by Honda. I believe this issue could have been detected earlier during the diagnostic service. I’ve since learned of a class action lawsuit involving this exact issue in my vehicle’s generation, which makes me concerned this is a known defect.

The engine completely stopped while driving on two different occasions, once on I10 freeway and on a busy surface street. Hard to pinpoint the failure either mechanical or electrical. Was inspected by two different Honda dealerships and both found no error messages. On the freeway was extremely dangerous we were lucky to safely get to the shoulder and call AAA. On the most occurrence the engine shut off and caused a traffic jam but after a short time was able to restart with no damage only many angry drivers showing their irritation. There was no prior messages or other symptoms that was evident prior to these two occurrences. Had a safety recall performed yesterday, to inspect high pressure fuel pump and no fault was found. This is definitely a safety related defect and if it happens again i don't know if luck will be with me a third time.

DEFECTIVE RECALLED-REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMP? the federal safety agency Campaign # 23V858000 “Fuel pump failure can cause engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.” My 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid had gotten 50 mpg in September & October of 2024 – as it had been getting consistently, reliably for the past six years. Also, I have Always driven 545 miles per tank of gas consistently, reliably for the past six years. My original fuel pump, which was recalled (the federal safety agency #23V858000), NEVER failed and operated perfectly efficiently for six years. In December 2024 I observed the federal safety agency fuel-pump-recall and had the “perfect” original fuel pump replaced. As soon as the “New” fuel pump was installed at the dealership, my MPG dropped to 39mpg AND miles-driven-per-tank of gas dropped to 445 miles! Shocking! My 2018 Accord Hybrid lost 100 miles of driving Range, and mpg dropped to non-hybrid performance! This leaves me to question the SAFETY of the NEW Recall-Replacement fuel pump. Also, since the “New” replacement Fuel pump was installed, my High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery Pack has been “kicking-in” more frequently to assist the less efficient new fuel pump. This causes the gas engine to rev longer at high rpms whenever I start the car in order to constantly recharge the HV Lithium Ion Batteries that must assist the less efficient New fuel pump . It appears to be a precarious cycle of decline for both the fuel pump and HVLI batteries! Help! I would like the federal safety agency to determine: 1.Is the replacement fuel pump “failing” from the time of installation? 2.Was a “new” fuel pump actually installed, or was a “defective part replaced in the original recalled fuel pump? 3.Is the replacement fuel pump not designed technologically as the original fuel pump? 4.How SAFE is the “NEW Fuel Pump”? 5.Are other Honda Hybrid owners who had their fuel pumps replaced under # 23V858000 complaining of poor performance? Is this a serious indication of rapid replacement (New) fuel pump failure?

Honda service center (1601 Dallas Pkwy, Frisco, TX 75034) is avoiding making a repair of recalled fuel pump. I took the car in on what they said was a slow day for a 3hr repair. They told me it would take 2+ days to repair and that if I scheduled in advance they could make sure to get it done in about 3 hours. I scheduled a week in advance with an appointment and came in and they used the same excuse again telling me that it would take them 2+ days. When I complained they came up with a second excuse that the repair can't be done on a mostly full tank of gas (which is not true, it's just harder for them to do it) and even if it was true, they've never once notified me during my prior interactions. The Honda dealership is clearly avoiding their obligation to make the repair and is putting my safety at risk.

Complaint Regarding Unresolved Recall #24V‑763 and Persistent Defects – 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid 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 the federal safety agency 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

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??
