Apparently the coolant is leaking into chamber 2 and 3 and it’s burning it and I need to replace the head gasket. Spoke to and looked up a bunch of other people have had this same issue. It’s causing my car to stutter and it’s scary.
2018 Honda Accord fuel system complaints
Page 6 of 17: complaints 131 to 160 of 476, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Hello, the fuel pump which is recalled on my vehicle failed and was replaced with an aftermarket pump so I could take it to the dealership. Once I took it the dealership refused to go ahead with the recall and basically told me it’s not their problem. They are required to get it done for customers but they refused to fix mine.
The contact's wife owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at various speeds, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the warning lights were illuminated constantly. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel system was contaminated with water. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the spark plugs and flushed the fuel system; however, the failure recurred while driving. Additionally, the contact stated that the cruise control mode was no longer functional. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, where the contact was informed that further diagnostic testing was needed to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, but the contact had not received a call back. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
UNKNOWN I received the notice that there was an active recall on my 2018 Honda about the 1.5 Fuel Pump. I have scheduled several appointments to fix this, only for Honda to cancel all appointments related to the recall, stating they didn't have the part. I was headed to work, and every light on the dashboard that could come up, came up. There were several warning lights from brakes, transmission, collision, engine, etc. I took the car to the dealership, and they discovered that the fuel injector was the culprit. I am outraged because they're denying there's a connection, and I believe otherwise.
Various 2018-2022 Honda Accord owners had fuel injector failures caused by the faulty factory fuel pump molding. The fuel pump has been recalled; however, not before the fuel injectors fail. My Accord recently got an array of warning lights pop up on the dash while driving on the highway. I read the code and it was a cylinder 3 misfire. A diagnosis has led to the discovery that the fuel injectors are failing, most likely because of the bad fuel pump molding affecting the pressure of the fuel lines. Not only could this have led to my car stalling on the highway, it led to a complete disabling of my safety features while driving. Honda should be held responsible for the fuel injectors failing caused directly by their fuel pump molding deviation.
All lights on dash Illuminated. They have come on several times. While driving. You don’t know if brakes, engine, acceleration will work. Limp mode activates or not. Fuel injector seems to be a problem with misfiring or some other issue

My vehicle is stalling out. The engine failed. I was traveling and had to pull off the interstate and stop and restart vehicle. It was very dangerous as traffic was going at a high rate of speed. Yes the vehicle has been confirmed by a dealer. Yes all the warning lights are on in the vehicle.
This car had a manufacturer recall for the "fuel pump". I was advised by Honda to go get the car checked by the dealer to evaluate if the issues I was getting were related to the recall. I paid close to $400 to get the car diagnosed and about 3/4 months after that I was told that the part is available for the recall service. I got the repair scheduled at the dealership and got the part replaced. Ever since I got this fuel pump replaced, now the car is struggling to pickup. It looks like a miss fire but it doesn't show any errors on display. In this condition, this car is not safe to drive around as it is skipping the engine thrusts. I have looked at Honda website and other online resources and people are talking about these issues but HONDA hasn't said or done anything about it. It all started after I got the fuel filter replaced.
About a week ago my all my dash lights came on dash. Doing some research I found there was a safety recall on my vehicle that I did not know about. I scheduled an appointment with Honda to get it replaced, they informed me that the fuel injectors needed to replaced and were causing misfires. They claim this is not directly correlated to the recall but I believe that it is
Cylinder 1 misfire intake air leak incorrect fuel pressure insufficient compression in cylinder faulty or improper spark plugs poor connection at fuel injectors open or short in fuel injectors circuit clogged fuel injectors poor connection at ignition coil open in ignition coil circuit faulty ignition coils
Warning lights come all across the dash stating to see the dealer. I have taken it to the dealership and the issue is the fuel injector that causes the warning lights to go off and on at random. I still have a warranty of my car and was told the warranty does not cover that part. This is happening to a lot of honda accords but there is no recall for it. There is a safety issue for driving because they stay on and then go off and come back on again. This is unfortunate and unacceptable from Honda as a whole. I bought the car in May 2024 and the warning lights came on a week later and have been ever since off and on.
My vehicle is experiencing engine hesitation and it's getting worse every day I drive my car. This is a known side effect of the Honda Safety Recall notice I originally received in February of 2024. I received initial notification of a safety recall for my Honda vehicle in February of 2024 and it stated the safety issues of a possible faulty fuel pump modular. The letter expressed that they have no available parts but were working on getting them. I then received a 2nd letter regarding the fuel pump in May of 2024 and that parts were limited so they were focusing on customers who were experiencing side effect/safety issues with their car. I then received a 3rd letter in November of 2024 stating parts were ready and I just needed to contact my local Honda dealership to have my fuel pump modular replaced free of charge. I have called my dealership on at least two different occasions and have also taken my car in to Honda since then for general maintenance (oil change) and I keep being told they do not have the parts. The last time I spoke with them, I keep getting told that they do not have the parts. I am also always told they will probably call me in a couple weeks when they have the part but I never received that phone call from them. I can never seem to get a straight answer from them and am always told another excuse as to why my car and my family's safety is not important enough for them. I've even been told some of those replacement fuel pumps are needed for their newer cars.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and was diagnosed with fuel pump module failure. The contact was informed that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The contact was referred to the dealer for additional assistance. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact attempted to call the dealer but had not gotten a response. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
Vehicle cranks, will not start. Dealership says the fuel pump is good but the module needs replaced. Vehicle died on the highway.
I got a recall notice for my car for fuel pump which I got it fixed but now the dealership is saying I got fuel injector issues with head gasket issues. I have also read online that lot of people are having exactly this problem, their fuel pump injectors are also failing with head gasket on the 2018 Honda Accord and Honda is requesting $2000 in fixes
Apparently the recall was fix with the fuel system, however the car is still losing power as you drive it.
Cylinder 1 and Cylinder 3 misfire (Cylinder 3 misfired multiple times, even after attempts to fix it), and now I have a blown head gasket. On more than three separate occasions, my car has either stopped completely in the middle of the road—sometimes on the highway in the fast lane, with cars traveling 80+ mph behind me, putting my life at significant risk—or it will suddenly drop from the speed of traffic (80+ mph) to under 30 mph in a matter of seconds, out of nowhere. If it weren't for me swerving into an open lane to the right one time, I would have undoubtedly been rear-ended by a car traveling 80 mph. In that instance, my speed went from 0 mph to less than 30 mph in just seconds, which could have easily paralyzed me or even killed me had I hit my head on impact. Though I didn’t sustain a physical injury the first time this happened on the freeway, I did suffer a panic attack due to the sudden and extreme danger of the situation. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by two separate Honda dealerships at different times, but both were caused by the same issue. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer, as I had it checked at two different Honda dealerships. No, there were no warning messages or symptoms prior to the failure; all issues occurred suddenly while driving, when my car barely started producing any power on the freeway.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while pulling out of a parking lot at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact later received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted several times. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

For the past four months, my check engine light has been turning on and off. One morning in traffic, my car suddenly went into limp mode. Fortunately, I was able to make it slowly yet safely to the nearest parking lot, but I had to get the car towed to different mechanics. Each one diagnosed a cylinder 4 misfire after running the computer diagnostics and checking multiple possible causes under the hood. A retired Honda mechanic mentioned he had seen this issue before and identified the fuel injector as the cause. When I researched my car on the federal safety agency website, I found two different recalls. One related to fuel injector module failure and another for the fuel injector assembly. However, when I contacted Honda with this information, I was told that my VIN does not currently fall under the recall, despite experiencing the same exact issues. I was advised to get a diagnostic at a Honda dealership, which would cost a few hundred dollars, and then to submit a Goodwill request online, which is an unnecessarily lengthy process. I am requesting that Honda inspect this issue and add my VIN number to the recall, so I do not have to continue spending more money on a problem that appears to be a known defect.
While driving my 2018 Honda Accord, I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. At the same time, the check engine light came on, along with multiple other warning lights, which caused the advanced driver assistance systems to stop working. This put my safety at risk, as I was unable to speed up in traffic, creating a dangerous situation. A dealership confirmed that the issue was due to a fuel injector failure, which occurred just days after I had the fuel pump replaced under a recall. Before the failure, the only warning signs were the check engine light and an “Emissions System Problem” message. I believe this issue may be directly related to the faulty fuel pump, which Honda delayed in replacing. If the defective fuel pump caused excessive strain on the fuel injectors over time, it could explain why so many owners, including myself, are experiencing premature failures. Given the safety risks involved and the growing number of similar reports, I urge the federal safety agency to investigate this issue and hold Honda accountable for addressing the problem.
Engine can randomly blow a turbo of head gasket while traveling on freeway making you stranded in middle of the freeway and disable all the safety features while doing so. Extremely danger
Gasket headed
The components and systems that are failing and malfunctioning in my 2018 Honda Accord are the engine, head gasket, fuel, injectors and turbo. While in motion, the car jerks and has issues with acceleration requiring the safety hazard lights to be come on and I’m unable to keep up with marked speed limit while traveling due to the sluggishness of the vehicle. The majority of these issues have been confirmed by a Honda dealership as well as another car shop. There are several warning and safety hazard lights that come on and go off the dashboard. Many times, I have to pull on the side of the road due to not being able to drive this vehicle.

There is a recall for the fuel pump on Honda Accords. When Honda replaces the fuel pump, the fuel injectors starts misfiring. All the warning lights start goin on. The car says it is not safe to drive and to go to the dealer. The car is not safe to drive, after the fuel pump replacement. Customers have to pay around $2000 + $130-$150 for diagnostic analysis to get injectors replaced. It should have been part of the recall. This issue doesn't start until the fuel pump is replaced. the federal safety agency RECALL NUMBER:23V‑858 MFR CAMPAIGN ID:YGK CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:2018-22 Accord 1.5T Fuel Pump Mtr Saf Recall Exp2 RECALL DATE:12/18/2023
While waiting for the recalled parts to be in stock for the fuel pump module, my car starting running rough and going into limp mode several times a day. Thus causing near accidents with my children in the vehicle. After getting the fuel pump module recall fixed I asked and had to pay for a diagnostics test to see what was causing the car to do this. We were told it was the fuel injectors and were quoted $2000 to replace those. That was done 4 days ago at the dealer, and it happened again yesterday! We took the car back to the dealer today and they have just informed us we need to replace the head gasket & turbo and had a coolant leak causing these issues?! Why that was never seen in the original diagnostics test nor a problem 4 days ago, but after spending $2000 we did not have to keep our family and others safe, we are now being told it will cost over $5000 to fix these now issues. We can’t afford that and now I don’t know what I am going to do! Honda needs to step up to the plate and take some culpability here and be responsible for what clearly appears to be a much needed recall for 2018 Accords! This is ridiculous. And for the service advisor to tell us this happens all of the time to these, if not daily, should speak volumes!
My vehicle was under a recall for about 9months waiting for parts for Fuel pump to be available ( recall # 23v-858) to be available. While driving my vehicle went into LIMP mode in the middle of the highway causing me to swerve and have to off-ramp quickly to avoid high speed traffic. After my recall was completed January/25 my fuel injectors are starting to fail and same situation as before Limo mode in the middle of the high way. This is a domino effect from the fuel pump. Since the vehicle had a faulty fuel pump it caused an issue in the pressure and function of the fuel injectors. I find it outrageous for the consumer to have to pay for a safety issue that was cause by the company’s faulty part and lack of agility to react and fix the issue before it effected other parts. This has been a none issue in this vehicle but yet the consumer is the one have to pay 6k out of pocket to get it fixed.
