2017 Honda Accord: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Jun 11, 2026 · Fuel system · TX

Pulled off my street to go to work, and the car engine started hesitating, misfiring and losing power. I turned around and was able to get it to a safe location, but had to have it towed to the dealership. Dealership ran codes said it was a bad injector issue and quoted me $2,600 to replace all 4. My Accord just turned 9 and has had all recommended services done. This is my 4th Honda and have never had any fuel injector issues with prior cars. My car is not showing as part of the recall for this, but it should be because they are defective. If I had not turned around, a semi could have hit me as I was in an industrial area, because the car all of a sudden lost power. This is an extreme safety issue and should be recalled.

I purchased a used 2017 honda accord coupe with a v6 engine in may 2020. It has always slightly hesitated and stalled during all speeds of acceleration. Most notable from a stop, or very slightly trying to accelerate. I found a january 29, 2019 the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v060000 and a service bulletin or safety recall a19-016 dated february 13, 2019 was issued and on aug 1, 2020, I took the vehicle to a honda dealership near me for this complaint because it seemed to be getting worse. I was informed about 6 hours later my necklace chain hanging on the rear view mirror was shorting out the car causing my acceleration problem and charged $340.00. I had mentioned before and after this diagnosis that a safety recall on the fuel pump was issued to this car and was told the chain on mirror was the problem. I was actually given a piece of my chain back with a slight evenly burn mark on it. I still have this problem and don't have the time or money to go back and forth with the dealership on getting this resolved. My VIN # does not show a recall needed presently, but I currently commute 120 miles a day in this vehicle and pray my problem will not worsen or it stop all together during this time. I could try again with another dealership, but do I need honda to issue this recall to my VIN first before I can get this safety issue fixed at once? Please advise on my concerns and thank you

This morning on my way to work I stopped for gas, turned off my car, went to restart when my dash started going crazy and flicking on and off. It wouldn't start again so my husband had to leave work and come jump me, we drove it home, it sat for 3 mins then tried to start it again when the same thing happened. We decided to let the car stay plugged into a trickle battery charger all day while I went to work. After we got home, we decided to test it, and it started right up. We were able to turn it on and off several times without hesitation all until we let 5 mins pass in between starts when the flickering of the dark began again and the car refused to start. My car has less than 50k miles on it, this issue needs to be addressed when so many users are having the same problem. When we got home we checked the battery and it was reading 12voltz. We have found multiple complaints about the same issue from several other owners and would like to know what is being done to resolve the issue. Sources: carcomplaints.com, hondaproblems.com,
