2017 Honda Accord

This vehicle has the same 3.5 litre V-6 that is being recalled engine failures, and stalling in the Honda Ridgeline, Passport and Acuras. Why arent the Honda Accords included? Since 2020, this car stops moving forward, and attempts to stall after a complete stop in traffic. I have to feather the gas pedal to reingage the engine, and get the car out of danger. It is an ongoing situation. I am the only driver of the car, and would never letanyone else drive it, due to this. I happens very regularly.

While driving my 2017 Honda Accord, I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate when pressing the gas pedal entering the freeway. At the same time, the check engine light flashed along with multiple other warning lights, which caused the car to go into limp mode. This put my safety at risk, as I was unable to speed up in traffic, creating a dangerous situation. Same situation occurred the next day - narrowly avoiding the accident. The car is not safe to drive. Honda dealership determined issue was due to a fuel injector failure, on a very well-maintained vehicle it seems strange for this issue to come up. I believe this issue is directly related to the faulty fuel pump which is being recalled for many 2017-2018 ACCORDs as the defective fuel pump caused excessive strain on the fuel injectors over time, it could explain why so many owners, including myself, are experiencing premature failures. Given the safety risks involved and the growing number of similar reports, I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and hold Honda accountable for addressing the problem and cover the cost of the injection repairs

The first instance occurred 04 Apr 2018, where while driving the car shutoff; I was able to coast to shoulder of road. After a brief amount of time I was able to restart, but it occurred again while heading to dealer location. The dealer blamed the malfunction on bad gas and could not replicate. (see R.O. 767659). 2nd occurrence was 25 May 2018 again. I was in an traffic light intersection and was able to coast through and get to side of road. Called dealer and their recommendation was to have car towed to dealership. They finally agreed there was a serious problem and replaced fuel pump assy. see (R.O. 773135 attached). I recvd 1st recall notice 20 Mar 2024 (parts unavail). I recvd 2nd recall notice Oct 2024. On visit to dealer they stated no repairs will be done unless symptoms occur. Since then I have been hesitant to drive car any distance. This situation could have deadly consequences if it occurs during high speed traffic. Only indicator inside car is "check engine" light. Honda has refuse to take action (been 6 months!) I tried to impress upon them I've experienced this scary situation already and it concerns me when I drive this car.

There has been a recall for fuel pumps. Our car doesn’t fall under the group being recalled. Our accord has been having the same issue. It will stop running when driving. It has happened twice in the last few months. I would like to see if there could be another group with the problem and have not been recalled yet. Our Honda dealership has diagnosed it with a fuel pump problem.

In 2017, I purchased my vehicle brand new from Honda of Union City. A few years later there was a fuel pump recall on my car. I made numerous attempts, phone calls and visits to 3 known honda dealers in Atlanta, GA. I kept getting the runaround, no parts or always something to avoid fixing my car. I called months ago to ask why I never received a letter from honda about the recall and the parts. I was told that my car was fixed by honda of Union City and the case was closed in 2019. However, I have documentation showing the recall was opened until 2023. My car was never fixed, I didn't see or sign any paperwork from Honda.

On Friday, [XXX], while leaving a McDonald’s in Charlotte, NC, my car began to slow down and for different lights came on on my dashboard. I was unable to go over 45 miles per hour but was able to get my car to my sisters home that was a few miles away from where I started having car trouble. I was able to have the car towed to Hendrick Honda in Charlotte NC where they determined my car’s high pressure fuel pump went out. There are recalls on other 2017 Honda Accords but not mine. I get routine oil changes and have never had an issue like this before. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

On Sept 25, 2024, my car completely turned off as I was pulling out from a side road to cross a 4 lane road. Fortunately, it was mid-morning and no cars were coming. I was able to coast to the far ride lane and put hazard lights on. A light came on--a gas can with something dripping from it and possibly some other lights. It was extremely scary and happened with no warning whatsoever. It could have caused a fatal accident in another situation. I had never seen this light come on before nor had any problems with the car stalling. GREENSBORO HONDA inspected the car and determined that it was the low pressure fuel pump and that most likely the "O" ring had gotten pinched. They have seen this before in Hondas. It's a common problem and my research revealed many Hondas have been recalled for this very problem, but not my particular car. They determined that the fuel pump had to be replaced at a cost to me of $1,200. I made a claim with American Honda and it was denied because there had not been a recall and because the car was no longer under warranty.
