Consumer Description

My family's 2019 Honda Accord with ~80k miles suddenly had all the warnings lights flashing on the dashboard in early July 2025. The initial diagnostic reader showed a Cylinder 3 misfire. After replacing spark plugs, the warning lights returned after one week; at that time, the ignition coil was replaced but the warning lights returned again after one week of driving. The Honda dealership performed further diagnostics and tests, ultimately reporting that the engine needed fuel injectors replaced AND a head gasket. It is important to mention that when we initially called the dealership's service department to make an appointment, the Service representative that answered the phone immediately recognized this issue, saying that it is a well known issue with Accord 1.5 turbo engines. Honda Corporate has stated that the car is outside of the manufacturer's warranty and that there is no recall. Note that there are class action lawsuits in the US on this matter, as well as lots of online traffic of car owners experiencing this issue with the Honda 1.5T engine. It appears that there is a serious design flaw in the engine.
