When I'm driving on the highway, the car sometimes loses its grip, the brakes slip, and it's hard to control the steering wheel. The brakes are a big issue. I'm scared of driving this vehicle. Plus, I have had AC problems ever since I bought the vehicle; the air is warm.

My engine stalled out a few days ago on the way home from work. My mileage was 28 miles until empty and the car suddenly was coming to a stop but wouldn’t allow me to accelerate. The car then died and I had to get it jumped. I’m not sure if it’s the fuel pump recall. I’ve contacted the dealership and nobody has returned my calls…

Honda fuel pump had a recall back in 2020-2021, which was replaced months after. Now, two years later my car has completely stalled out on me in the middle of driving, not once but TWICE. In the middle of the road. Both incidents happened when I had gas in my car, full battery, etc. and would not turn on until again (both times) until I manually put gas in it. Accelerating is extremely weak, engine is sputtering constantly. Brought it to Commonwealth Honda after the first incident, no answers. After having this happen a second time, i brought it back a second time. I was told there is nothing they can do as they can't see the car stalling in person. I have reiterated to both technicians and management that this car is NOT safe to drive due to a faulty fuel pump, and I am being told tough luck. I would like this problem and these incidents documented in the event I do end up getting injured from this faulty part they are refusing to fix. It has happened two times in the last month, and i'm sure it won't be the last.
