NHTSA Complaint #11374749 — 2018 HONDA ACCORD

PURCHASED IN MAY 2019. CURRENTLY < 50,000 MILES. ALL SERVICE PERFORMED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BEGAN TO NOTICE GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, THOUGH IT WAS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE/OTHER VEHICLES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LAST WEEK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, WAS TOLD THE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, CYLINDER 3 ISSUE. LAST RESORT WAS TO DO A FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING SERVICE, HAD THAT DONE. TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. I AM NOT CONVINCED THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRED A RECALL FOR MANY 2018 ACCORDS WITH 2.0T ENGINES ARE NOT ALSO IMPACTING 1.5T ENGINES.
