I was driving down the road and when i tried to hit the throttle to speed up a little suddenly the car just started misfiring randomly with zero warning beforehand. I tried to hit the throttle a couple more times but it kept misfiring and then the engine light, tpms light, traction control light and a couple other lights all lit up and i immediately had to pull over to the side of the road because it was extremely dangerous. i will also add that i had just got off the freeway maybe two minutes prior and it would've been a completely different story if that had happen then. I have an OBD scanner in my car and i immediately pulled it out to check what the codes were which it was a single code all around P0087. The high pressure fuel pump had completely died in the middle of me driving and was not even allowing a test when i took it in for a diagnostic. i replaced the high pressure fuel pump and it completely resolved the car issues and the codes went away immediately. i still have the faulty pump in my possession to. be inspected by someone if needed. the only reason a crash or something extremely tragic didn't happen is because it was later at night and the cars behind me happen to be a decent enough distance for me to be able to get over to put my car in a safer position to not obstruct the road and get a tow truck to assist me.

Check engine light by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact’s son stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and failed to exceed 50 MPH. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that there was a misfire in cylinder #2, causing engine failure, and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 164,040.
I bought a car from a private seller on Craigslist. I've only driven the car for 2k miles before the check engine light came. Before that I had to spend like 1k on the breaks oilchange etc to get the car upto date. Now it feels really unsafe to be in especially for my daughter who is [XXX]. The dmv suspected odometer fraud.

I purchased a car from AutoNation Toyota Hayward in Hayward California on June 21, 2025. And on June 24,2025, the check engine light appeared. A mechanic checked my car for the code and informed me that the catalytic converter is faulty. The dealership had informed me that they check the car prior to be sold. As it goes through multiple checks. However, the car that was sold was faulty. They refused to answer my questions as to why a faulty car was sold. As I was driving the car back to the dealership, I could smell the fumes throughout my car.
My vehicle started to loose power while driving on the freeway. The engine light came on and my car was no capable to go over 40 miles.. the vehicle makes a whirring sound . The mechanic shop I took it states the engine code is P0087 and when he research my type of vehicle has a SAFETY RECALL: 2013-17 ACCORD L4 FUEL PUMP MODULE SET/ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT DTC P0087. I have contacted Honda and they stated my vehicle was not affected; however the problem my vehicle has is exactly the Honda Safety Recall.
Car first started showing issues with the charge system. The car would randomly not start and would require a jump start. I replaced the battery and the car worked fine for 2 weeks and then it just wouldn't start at all. A new alternator was put in and the care drove fine for 1 month. Took it back to dealer mechanic and he said he needed a new alternator. Got the alternator replace and care worked fine 2 months and then it was back to not starting or it wouldn't accelerate pass 20 mph and the power steering light would come on and the steering wheel would lock up. The tire traction light came on as well as the check engine and battery light ABS and emergency brake light. Took it to the mechanic he replaced the terminal post and components after the car would start at all even with a jump start. The car worked fine for 3 months and then it started cutting off in the middle of traffic on the road while driving it and would not cut back on. Took to the dealer and was told that it was a camshaft sensor. The camshaft sensors was replaced and the car started cutting off while driving it on the road and the steering wheel would lock up. All lights on the dashboard would come on including the power steering wheel, tire traction, check engine, emergency brake, battery light, ABS light. Radio would cut off and reset continuously while driving and make static pops. The car will continue to cut off while driving and cut back on at times or just not restart.
The dash lit up with every warning light possible, including the engine light. The Honda dealership said that it was a defective ABS module. I've seen many reports of this same problem online.
I was driving at about 30 MPH when the steering wheel froze all of a sudden and Electric Power Steering Malfunction indicator turned on suddenly. The steering became very hard to turn left or right. I was on a road with light traffic so somehow pulled over to the side with manual strength and turned off power. When I turned back the vehicle, it seemed to be ok and I drove for about a mile, only to have the same issue again. The issue seemed to be intermittent which makes it more dangerous. I took the car to a dealer but they could not reproduce the issue and reset the error code. The issue showed up again immediately after leaving dealers place. The car is driven less than 50k miles and about 7 years old. I am the first owner. The power Steering works intermittently, but then again freezes up making it very dangerous to drive. This is a massive safety issue if the system just stops in middle of road as not everyone will have the physical strength to steer the car.I have seen multiple similar reports from people online.
6/24/2022 I was driving my 2015 Honda Accord with 65k miles when the car had no power, unable to accelerate, and limited steering. The following warning lights went on : Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Vehicle Stability System Indicator, Electric Power Steering System Indicstor, and Low Tire Pressure indicator (new tires last week). I let the car sit for awhile and restarted it with the same warnings showing. Very scary and unsafe to suddenly lose power and steering. I had just returned from a trip on a mountain road and busy highway which could have had deadly results. My car is a 2015 with 65 thousand miles on it- how does something this dangerous occur?
April 2021 while driving dash guages stopped. No speedometer, no rpm, no temperature. Flashing fcw system failed began to flash. Multiple warning lights appeared. Check engine, power steering, break, abs, fcw, ldw, airbag, vsa and tpms. Honda of Gainesville in Florida has had my car for almost a year. No fix. Replaced engine harness, engine fusebox, computer, and cluster. To no avail. Now they say I need an interior fuse box and entire interior wiring harness. I believe they are just guessing at this point. According to honda internet forums this is a common issue with many years and models. No fix. This has been reported by many honda owners as a safety issue that should be recalled. It is incredibly unsafe to drive this vehicle with all these systems in fail. Please review. Photos and documents attached.
The following lights are all on: FCW, LDW, Air Bag, Check Engine, Power Steering, ABS, and Tire Pressure monitoring system These lights are on and off for at least 5 times in the last 50 days.
Try starting my honda accord 2015 after church and fcw system failed popped up with other lights. Every time I started my car it would automatically turn off again. And once again popped up fcw system with ldw system failed. Car didn't start so I had aaa tow it to my house. When I got home I try starting it again and it started with same lights. Fcw,ldw,low tire pressure,electric power steering and malfunction indicator lamp. Going to call honda department today. Hopefully they will be able to fix the problem. I've been doing some research and seen a lot of people have the same problem. This is the last thing I need to be worried about. On top of covid-19 and losing my job. Now my car going out. I will think twice before purchasing another honda. Honda please fix the problem.
