On July 2021 my fuel pump motor was replaced due to a recall . My car has a raw smell of gas coming from my back seat . I took it to the dealer on 10-24-26 they wanted to charge me 200 to check it which I thought it was crazy due to they had replaced the motor on the fuel pump and I asked to talk to manager he said it was replaced on 2021 and it’s not covered no more . I think if it was replaced maybe the motor or parts that they used where defective. They should check with out charging me

A mechanic inspected or evaluated the vehicle and told me that the small fuel filter/strainer inside the fuel pump assembly may be causing the problem. The vehicle has intermittent starting difficulties, rough engine operation, and sudden loss of engine power while driving. The accelerator sometimes becomes unresponsive until I pull over, turn off the engine, and restart the vehicle. I am concerned about a possible fuel delivery system malfunction and the risk of losing power unexpectedly while driving. I am requesting an investigation into the fuel pump assembly and its internal filter.

SUPPLEMENTAL DATA FOR ACTIVE ODI CASE #XXX. P1: SYSTEMIC SAFETY RECALL FALSIFICATION (the federal safety agency 23V‑858) This submission supplements active ODI Case #XXX against Honda of Manhasset (Facility #XXX). On XXX, the facility certified Fuel Pump Safety Recall 23V‑858 as fully completed to claim warranty credits. Vehicle dashcam recordings irrefutably prove the technician never opened the hood, never disconnected the 12V battery (mandatory safety step to release fuel pressure), and never stood in front of the car. When confronted on XXX with video evidence, advisor [XXX] manually altered the invoice to "Not Performed", falsely blaming a system error/lack of stock, despite parts records proving the recall kit arrived XXX. System admin then issued a corrective invoice "Reprint #1" stating "RECALL NOT PERFORM. PART NOT IN STOCK", dynamic-reopening the VIN nationally to evade corporate detection. This constitutes severe corporate fraud. P2: COMPRESSED ADAS SOFTWARE TOLERANCES AND PROCEDURAL OMISSION The secondary fraud involves an unneeded quote of $1,237.19 and illegal $233.55 diagnostic fee under false pretense of a "bent radar bracket". Independent engineering audit disproved hardware failure, establishing true 0.00° baseline. Technical root cause of DTC P2583-76 was the recall update, migrating the car from the factory 2018 software layout—which possessed a permissive vertical threshold up to ±3.0°—directly to hyper-strict Program ID: 36802-TVA-A190, restricting the window to an unyielding 0.0°±0.1°. Due to suspension settling over 259,258 km, the radar had a natural deviation of -2.25°, which A190 flagged, disabling ACC. On XXX, the Shop Foreman confessed technicians willfully skip physical radar re-centering protocols because they "take too much time". After manual adjustment back to 0.00°, a 19km road test dynamically cleared DTC [XXX] per Honda Bulletin 21-068. Subpoena dealer records for ID A190.

The contact owns a 2021 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 65 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle hesitated and then accelerated; however, the vehicle then failed to accelerate above 20 MPH. Several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact's wife drove the vehicle to a safe location and parked. While attempting to start the vehicle, the engine started and then shut off. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a fuel pump failure requiring fuel pump replacement. The contact referenced a recall with a similar failure description; however, the contact's VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 152,100.

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)

Reporting fraudulent safety recall compliance & hazardous repair by Honda of Manhasset (Invoice #317524). 1. Recall 23V‑858 (Fuel Pump): Dealership registered recall as completed & Service Manager verbally insisted it was done. However, my vehicle's continuous dashcam footage proves fuel pump replacement was NEVER performed. Faced with video evidence, the advisor admitted work wasn't done because the part was out of stock, claiming a "billing error." Invoice reprint says "RECALL NOT PERFORMED, PART NOT IN STOCK" yet they initially processed it, leaving an immediate engine stall risk. 2. Software Campaign & Radar Failure (Service Bulletin 21-068): Dealership performed mandatory Honda Sensing update for Millimeter Wave Radar, wiping old calibration parameters. Per Bulletin 21-068 (Pg 3), the repair is NOT complete until the radar is re-calibrated & the warning light disappears. Instead of performing the radar aiming, the technician left safety systems locked with DTC P2583-76. I authorized a $215 diagnostic fee, but despite having the scanner connected during the update, the technician failed to follow Honda's official troubleshooting protocol to resolve the code and finish the calibration, returning the vehicle with disabled emergency braking features. 3. False Physical Diagnosis: Staff verbally claimed the radar bracket was "bent" to blame a prior impact. Challenged for physical proof, they admitted performing NO physical inspection, stating they "assumed" it was bent solely because the scanner showed P2583-76. This is a blatant lie to cover up their failure to follow factory troubleshooting workflow for this specific DTC, which dictates aiming the radar, not fabricating physical damage to justify leaving the safety repair incomplete.

In May of 2024, We got a recall letter for an inoperable fuel pump from Honda Automobile Division, & we did not get a replacement. They were short on supply, & those who experienced symptoms as engine light and may have rough engine starts were the priorities. We didn’t get a follow up after 60 days when we received the letter. Now my 2018 Accord has an engine light on, and the car starts up roughly.

The high-pressure and low pressure fuel pump went out on the car and needed to be fixed. There is an open recall on 2020 Honda Accord however my VIN number is not a part of the recall and I think it should be as I have had to fix my low pressure and high high-pressure fuel pump before 100,000 miles.
