2019 Honda Accord: won't start

Filed Oct 9, 2026 · Fuel system · LA

I am reporting repeated, unpredictable loss of engine power and propulsion in my 2019 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T (approximately 146,000 miles). The exact cause remains UNKNOWN. On XXX, while driving on [XXX] near [XXX], my vehicle suddenly lost acceleration at highway speeds and eventually stalled. The vehicle repeatedly lost power, experienced crank-no-start conditions, and at one point could barely maintain 10 mph. I was stranded and had to have the vehicle transported to a Honda dealership in [XXX]. Diagnostic code P0087 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low) was recorded multiple times, including at 70–74 mph. Numerous warnings appeared, including emissions, brake system, electric power steering, stability assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, and road departure mitigation. The unpredictable loss of propulsion creates a serious collision risk, especially on highways and in traffic. The Honda dealership initially could not reproduce the failure. After replacing the spark plugs at my expense, the vehicle was returned to me. Approximately 23 miles later, the malfunction returned, and I immediately brought the vehicle back without clearing any codes. Honda subsequently diagnosed and replaced the high-pressure fuel pump at my expense, but the loss-of-power issue continued. The vehicle previously received Honda’s in-tank fuel pump safety recall repair in May 2025. Despite that recall remedy and subsequent repairs, the vehicle continues to malfunction. The exact cause remains undetermined. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Honda dealership. Repair records and diagnostic information are available, and the vehicle can be made available for inspection upon request. I am requesting an investigation into this recurring safety-related loss of propulsion. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The automatic braking system will deploy without anything in the road, especially going over one particular hill. Now the car will not start and says there’s an electronic braking system failure

I was pulling out into the road when my car stalled out of no where. Multiple errors/lights started flashing. It scrolled through many warnings saying many things weren’t working and to call the dealer. Car would not start or move. Had it towed to the dealer. They are saying it was the fuel pump and is no longer under warranty. They say they do not know when they can get one as it’s on back order. They will not call me back and my car is at the dealer and cannot be driven.

We own a Honda Accord with approximately 39,405 miles on it when we took it to the Bob Howard Honda Dealership located at 13201 North Kelley Oklahoma City, OK 73131 for repair/diagnosis on August 25, 2022. The failure of the Honda included every sensor displaying in the vehicle from emission to lane change, etc. The dealership stated that the only code they noticed was a low fuel pressure but there was no issue other than that and these new cars are sensitive to low gas in vehicles which they felt contributed to every emergency sensor warning displayed with safety issues. We picked vehicle back up and on August 27, 2022, my wife was stranded cause the vehicle just stopped and would not start again with the same codes as before. Just quit running while driving which was very unsafe for my wife. It took well over 3 hours waiting for vehicle to be towed cause HONDA doesn't have a shift release easily accessible on their ACCORD models when vehicle is unable to start and to be put in neutral cause it won't start. We had vehicle towed back to Bob Howard Honda and on Monday, August 29, 2022 they stated it needed a fuel pump which would cost around $1007.00. However, the fuel pumps are on back order with no timeframe for delivery and the warranty for this vehicle expired apparently at 36,000 miles. First off fuel pump should not have failed this soon for a brand new Honda Accord or any vehicle for that matter. This is a failure in manufacturing.

My car has stranded me 3 times by not cranking. I have taken it to Gerald JONES Honda 3 times and they claim they can’t find nothing in the codes. They told me sounds like a fuel pump but mind wasn’t covered under recall. I have on 25255 miles on car and shouldn’t be having these issues . I made a video to show them how it will not crank. I am trying to share video but it will not take.

My 2019 Accord was due for a fuel pump recall (the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V215000), so I took it in to First Texas Honda and they completed a “remedy” by replacing it. 2 weeks later, I drove my car for the first slightly longer trip of 100 miles at night, and the car lost its power on the highway. Pretty much all the malfunction indicator lights were on, the dashboard LCD displayed failure of all major systems, and the car would not start again. I had it towed to Allen Honda, another Honda dealership, who told me that the new fuel pump First Texas Honda installed for the recall was probably not done properly and that some o-ring had worn out. They had to replace the fuel pump again. It appears that First Texas Honda made an awful mistake on the recall that could have resulted in an accident.

I noticed on a cold starts my car would misfire for a second then go away once warming up , my fuel pump relay also went out leaving me stranded at 2am because the car would not start just kept rolling over.. Had to leave the car and went to get a engine control/fuel pump relay the next day and the car turned on once I put that in. With this happening I know something is going on with the fuel pump and I've put premium gas in the car since I bought it brand new . I went online to read up on it and found out there was a recall for 2018-2019 model accords , so I went to the dealer thinking yes they can fix it but when they searched my VIN the only thing that came up was the bcm update. But knowing there is a recall for the exact problem I'm having and I can't get it fixed until I save up a little bit . Is there a way this recall can be done to my vehicle. This is the only way I can successfully get to school and work.

When I went to start my car after parking it in a parking lot, my car wouldn't start. The control panel was flashing on and off and stated that there was an issue with the brake system and to see my dealer. I had the car tolled to honda. After inspecting the car, they told me there was a defective cell in the battery and they replaced the battery. I purchased my car brand new last year in 2019 yet this defective battery caused me to be stranded, which I don't expect to happen with an essentially new car.
