2024 Honda Accord

On March 4, I took my car in for the high pressure fuel pump recall and was under the impression that it was replaced. On May 7 my car caught on fire two minutes after exiting the vehicle. It was confirmed by a fire inspector that it was the high-pressure fuel pump that caused the fire. There was no warning lights or anything to give warning that the vehicle was malfunctioning. I feel I was put at risk because if I would have had to stop at a stoplight, the car would’ve caught on fire with me in it. I also drive my grandchildren around with me a lot of the time, but on this date, I had no children with me. Honda has not responded or assigned a case manager to the incident and it’s been two weeks.

Several times the vehicle has automatically braked at low speeds (20-30 mph), nothing in front of the vehicle to cause this. Today it automatically braked...HARD...at 55 mph, again, nothing in front of vehicle, clear morning, road was clear. It braked so hard I'm pretty sure I have whiplash. I immediately called Victory Honda. They told me to go wash my car and call them back if it happens again. The only warning it gave was the brake light and beeping, but it was instant. Thankful there was no one behind me.

I suddenly started receiving error signals about the fuel and the break, and the emission system, and the navigation system. I took th car at the dealership and they told me it is the fuel injector faulty, and it is a national back order and there is not a time frame when it will be ready. The car is driven for only 10,000 miles!

December 2024, I received a recall notice from Honda that the fuel pump on the car make be defective. A couple weeks later I smell a strong gas odor inside the car. it was towed to the local Honda dealer and inspected. The pump was tested but showed no signs of cracking under pressure. Honda is claiming that they have fulfilled their obligation and is not going to replace the pump. When asked if they would guarantee that it would not fail in the future, they would not. Just because it hasn't failed yet, doesn't mean it won't. I believe that it is Honda's responsibility to replace this pump with one they know was not improperly made.
