NHTSA Complaint #11684992 — 2019 HONDA ACCORD

On May 13, 2025, I took my car to the Honda dealership, because all of the lights on the dashboard came on. I was told that the clips on my turbocharger needed to be replaced, and so Honda fixed that $120 (diagnostic fee) $209.99 to fix the issue. I was traveling so they kept the car for a week. I received the car back, and about 2 weeks later, 06/03, the same thing occurred, I was told that the engine air filter needed to be changed, and it caused the lights to go off $32.84. The next day 06/06, the lights went off again. I took my car back to the Honda dealership and they had the car from 06/09 - 09/04. Today they have reached out to say “It took a while to recreate the issue because they are ‘masking each other.’ There is a leak in the head gasket, and the turbocharger is going out.” It would be cheaper to buy a used engine and used turbocharger than to have it rebuilt.” I have spoken with other Honda owners, who have a 2018-2022 Honda accord, that have experience the same issue.
