2018 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I have owned a handful of Honda's and never had an issue with them. I own a 2018 Honda Accord Sport and when driving it all the lights on the dashboard lit up. The car left like it was stalling and wouldnt go past 2nd gear. I was almost rear ended by a car and had my 2 granddaughters ages [XXX] and [XXX] in the back seat. I took it to Honda dealership and they said the turbocharger needed replacing as well as a head gasket. My sister inlaw also owns a Honda like mine but hers is a 2021 and the same issue happen to her. It seems like this is an on going problem that Honda needs to address or assist customers with purchasing. It is not safe to continue to keep these cars with these issues on the road.

Head gasket went bad after only 107,000 miles . A lot of other Honda accord owners have the same problem . Had to get it repaired . This should be a recall . Not safe to drive .

Turbo Charger is failing. Dealer ran the codes and confirmed. All warning lights are cycling through.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH with the cruise control engaged, the brakes suddenly applied without application. The brake message was displayed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,735.

I was traveling North on Highway 55 in Huntsville, AL when I put the car in sport mode all of the error lights came on immediately. This has happened on several occasions. My passenger seat belt error always comes on. When I call about getting the recall fixed it could never be done because the dealer ships says the parts are not available.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) warning light is lit up on dashboard. Does not go away. Mentioned it to the dealership and I was told having items in the seat could trigger it or if there not enough weight. But even if there nothing or someone in my passenger seat the SRS aways come up.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that multiple warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard prior to any issues. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and entering onto the highway, the vehicle slowed down on the highway and eventually stalled. The vehicle was able to get safely to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with a high pressure fuel pump failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure milage was unavailable

Car seem to misfire alot , having a lot of head gaskets issues aswell as turbo issues, 10s of 1000s of people like me are experiencing these common problems, taking so much money out of our pockets when its should be handle the correct way

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my 2018 Honda Accord [VIN# [XXX] ] concerning what I believe to be a defective cylinder head or head gasket — an issue I have since learned is widely reported within the Honda owner community and is currently the subject of active class action litigation. Beginning at approximately 89,000 miles, my vehicle began experiencing episodes of engine rumbling followed by sudden shutoff. These episodes occurred two to three times before I brought the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership at approximately 99,000–105,000 miles for diagnosis. At the dealership, I paid for a diagnostic inspection. I was informed that the technicians could not identify the root cause without performing a full engine pull and internal inspection, which they estimated would cost several thousand dollars — with an additional cost of $5,000–$8,000 if the diagnosis confirmed a cracked cylinder head or failed head gasket. Unable to absorb this expense, I did not authorize the repair. In an effort to keep the vehicle operational, I worked with independent mechanics and took the following corrective measures: replacement of spark plugs and ignition coils, replacement of the electric water pump, regular oil changes, maintenance of proper coolant levels, and avoidance of high or sudden acceleration. These measures allowed me to operate the vehicle for approximately one additional year without a recurrence of the shutoff events. Last summer, the vehicle failed to start entirely and could not be made operable. I was required to have it towed approximately 60 miles to its destination. The vehicle has not been operable since. Upon opening the hood, I observed coolant splashed across the engine cover consistent with a catastrophic head gasket failure. This failure occurred despite the vehicle being well maintained throughout my ownership. I believe this represents a known and systemic defect in Honda engine design for this model year.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord with approximately 108,000 miles. My vehicle has experienced ongoing fuel system and drivability issues connected to the fuel pump recall. It took over two years for Honda to complete the recall repair due to delays and lack of available parts. During that time, my vehicle developed additional issues including failed fuel injectors that required replacement. Even after those repairs, the vehicle continues going into limp mode, causing loss of power and creating a serious safety concern while driving. When I brought the vehicle to Honda for diagnosis, I was charged approximately $180 just to scan the vehicle and then quoted nearly $4,000 in additional repairs. In addition, my vehicle experiences what many Honda owners refer to as the “Christmas lights” issue, where multiple warning lights suddenly illuminate across the dashboard at the same time. This appears to be a widespread complaint among owners of this model and is often associated with ongoing fuel system, electrical, or sensor-related problems. Honda vehicles are marketed as reliable, yet many owners of this model have reported similar problems related to the fuel system, injectors, limp mode, and dashboard warning light failures after the recall issues. I believe the prolonged delay in addressing the recall contributed to further damage to my vehicle. Honda should take responsibility for these known issues and provide assistance to affected customers.
