Consumer Description

The fuel injectors failed at around 150,000 miles. The entire dash will light up with warnings and the car will loose power. I had it checked with the dealer and all of my maintenance's have been done at the dealer. My advisor said that it was due to the fuel injectors and that I would need to replace all of the injectors and the injector rack. That would cost approximately $1,500, but that I could still drive the car like that because my car is in great condition and I always take care of it. He said drive it, "But just don't punch it (accelerate) to much". My advisor knows that I commute to work, I drive about 150 miles per day and that was the advise that he gave me. At 167,000 miles, as I was driving to work, my car started to pull on me, as if it was chocking, I released the gas and continued, but I noticed that the car wasn't accelerating anymore. I pulled over to the shoulder on the freeway and turned off the car, I restarted the car to see if it would continue and it moved for about a mile and then it started pulling again. I called my employer to let them know that I was having car trouble and that I will not make it to work. I returned home and went straight to the dealership. I met with my advisor and he said, "We'll take a look an I'll get back to you by the end of the day." By the end of the day my advisor informed me that I had a blown head gasket and needed fuel injector replacements and that it would cost me around $5,000 to fix it. My question was, "Did this occur because I didn't repair the fuel injectors when you told me?" He said, "No." My thing is, if I have always took my car to the dealership for all maintenance work, how come they didn't know that my car was leaking or taking in liquid to the engine. I've spoken to other Honda owners with 2018 thru 2020 Honda Accord Sport 1.5 an 2.0 and at least 15 of them have told me that they've had fuel injector problems with their cars and 5 of them had blown head gaskets. Recall needed
