Was operating the vehicle at about 30mph and the braking system started malfunctioning by giving me limited braking power and throwing a bunch of lights on the dash along with sudden loss of acceleration. Tried to press the pedal again and it didn’t respond I drifted to a stop in the middle a lane in the road. Had to shut vehicle off then restart to regain function. All conditions were clear outside. The dealer I bought it from has been very suspicious since the purchase. Bought as a “certified pre-owned” but have had nothing but problems in the couple weeks of owning. Such as the TPMS system continuously going off saying “low tire pressure” the dealer has seen it multiple times and still can’t figure out the problem. They said they’re gonna start “throwing random parts at it” Issues just continue to get worse with little to no cooperation with...
Complete loss of power on acceleration. Car goes limp while driving on highway or a 50 mph street - very dangerous to have loss of power when other cars are driving fast too. We have replaced the spark plugs, coils, and fuel injectors. That was a waste of time and money bc the same problem existing- loss of power again! Turns out, it’s bc the Head gasket has a design flaw - deep grooves between the cylinder heads and head bolts that are not strong or tight enough. I have lost all trust for Honda bc this has not been issued as a recall. After quick online research- Everyone is having the same issue who has these models, this needs to be a safety recall bc Honda created a faulty head gasket design. This car is not safe bc the head gasket design, and I’m making payments on a car...
While driving my 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid, VIN [XXX] , the car would start exhibiting rough engine feels, and all of the dashboard lights would come on. The car would lose power at highway speeds, and I’d have to pull over to turn the car off and on. When checking on OBDII meter, getting P0301 codes. I have replaced the coils and plugs twice and still not better. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Driving on I70 mm152.2 my transmission went out and I was left quickly slowing on the interstate. I was in left line and cars were passing on the right. I needed to get over because I could not pull over to the left. Thought I might get stuck stopped on the interstate but was able to get over safely. Car only had 88000 miles on it and was less than 5 years old
Starting sconce July the car will vibrate at random times and will hesitate and buck while car will vibrate and not want to move have brought the car back to the dealership over 4 times now and they can not find any issues despite me having videos and any information I can gather since July if 2024
The vehicle's transmission stalls when trying to accelerate, causing unnecessary RPM fluctuations. While going downhill with the brakes applied, the RPM gauge spikes pass 4000 RPM causing the car to accelerate rather than slow down. when this occurs, extra pressure has to be applied onto the breaks to slow vehicle down. If enough space isn't given to the car Infront, pressing the break will cause a crash. Accelerating too fast on the highway will cause blown head gasket if transmission is stalling. This seems like a common issue with 1.5L engine & Honda's CVT transmission as other owners has been through similar issue & proven by independent service center. I've taken the vehicle to different dealer for inspection. only recommendation is transmission fluid change. Dealers refuse to do anything regarding the actual issue at hand.
CVT belt prematurely broke causing transmission failure on 2020 honda accord. Car has 93000 mile.
2020 HONDA ACCORD - NOT TRACKING STRAIGHT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT RECREATE. ISSUE HAPPENS EVERYTIME GOING 50+MPH FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME WHEN CAR IS WARMED UP (30-45+ MINUTES ON HIGHWAY. DID NOT INITIALLY HAPPEN DURING RESIDENTIAL COMMUTES, BUT IS NOW STARTING TO.) WHEEL STICKS TO ONE SIDE WHEN TURNING SLIGHTLY TO EITHER SIDE AND THEN RELEASES CAUSING OVERCORRECTING. WHEEL IS LOOSE AT CENTER AND YOU CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO ADJUST LEFT TO RIGHT TO LEFT TO STAY STRAIGHT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THERE IS NO RESISTANCE IN A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE WHEEL. SEVERELY CONCERNING. FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DEALERSHIP WON'T LISTEN. SEEMS LIKE SAME ISSUE FROM 2014 RECALL. PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE - I JUST BOUGHT A NEW CAR AND IT'S DOING THIS; SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ME BEING THE FIRST OWNER - BOUGHT NEW IN NOVEMBER 2019 AT 6MILES. I'VE...
FROM OCT 10 TO OCT 14, I PARKED MY CAR AT OFF AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 5DAYS. WHEN I CAME BACK, MY CAR DIDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE REASON WHY MY CAR DIDN'T START IS DUE TO BAD GAS. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, WHERE I PUMPED MY GAS LAST TIME BEFORE I FLEW OUT OF ATL, TO CHECK WITH THEM. THEY PROVIDED ME A COPY OF THE SYSTEM STATUS REPORT OF 10/9/20 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT #3 CYLINDER IS FULL OF WATER; THEY SAID THEY COULD GET A FUEL SAMPLE ONCE I AUTHORIZED THEM TO WORK ON THE FUEL TANK REMOVAL AND CLEANING. ONCE THEY PROCEEDED, THEY STATED THEY FOCUSED ON CLEANING THE SPARK...
THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STOPPED ACCELERATING. I PULLED OVER AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE MORE THAN A COUPLE MPH.
WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2020 HONDA ACCORD EX. WE HAVE DRIVEN IT ABOUT 3200 MILES IN THE 3 MONTHS WE OWNED IT. DURING THAT TIME IT HAS SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL 3 TIMES WHEN MY WIFE, WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT NORMAL SPEEDS, LIGHTLY BRUSHED THE SHIFTER WHILE ADJUSTING A CONTROL ON THE DASH OR ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE THIRD TIME SHE ATTEMPTED TO QUICKLY SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE AND BECAUSE THE LOCK IS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE SHIFT KNOB IT WAS DEPRESSED AND SHE WENT PAST DRIVE INTO SUPER (LOW GEAR); THE LOWER GEAR SLOWED THE CAR VERY ABRUPTLY (AND, OF COURSE DID SO WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS) AND SHE WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE ARE CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE.
