I I brought my car into Morehead Honda the dealer I purchased my vehicle from to get service because the car was acting funny. I then find out I had my car has a recall car with my car for the fuel pump. It was change the fuel pump I went home and a few days later I was stuck on the highway my car just shut down in the middle of the highway. My car was towed back to the dealership they found out there was something wrong with the fuel pump said they fixed it it was an error on their behalf. I returned several times after that because the fuel gauge is reading inaccurately. Dealer is unable to tell me what’s wrong. I fill up my car is giving me different readings my car normally falls up to 300+ close to 400 every time I fill up my car and now it’s reads 191, 150 or 140 when I fill up my car. I continue calling to dealership I am not getting a response. I need help with this it’s a safety issue.

The TPMS Sensor keeps turning ON since we bought this vehicle brand new from Lia Honda of Kingston. The problem was reported to American Honda (Case # 11487126). Per their (Honda) advice, the vehicle was brought into the Honda dealership (Lia Honda of Albany and Keeler Honda in Latham) to diagnose this issue. Still, the service technicians were unable to identify the root cause of this issue. The readings from tire pressure for all tires showed no sign of leakage or low tire pressure. The ratings were taken at different intervals and showed the normal tire pressure readings. The issue still exists, and American Honda has not shown any interest in correcting this problem. The vehicle has roughly 7K miles and is still under full factory warranty. Thank you in advance for looking into this matter. -Shakti Chauhan

I accelerated into a driveway of a convenience store and as I was halfway through the driveway my gas pedal became unresponsive and would not accelerate. Car started rolling back into traffic. 2 weeks later my pedal became unresponsive on the freeway. I exited and immediately called thd dealer because i had already taken it to get checked out after the first incident and they basically said nothing can be done but to trade it in since the mechanic had already said there was nothing wrong.

I bought the car 4/1/2021, with 15,000 miles on it. In just 2 months, I have had two incidents of the car decelerating. When I was at a traffic light and from a complete stop, I accelerated and the car decelerated and almost stalled in the intersection. I was making a left-hand turn both times and if the car had stalled, an oncoming car could have hit me. This could have caused a serious accident. I notice there is a recall for this problem on other Honda models, but not my car. I am afraid to drive it now because i live in a major city and there is a lot of traffic.

MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING ALONG ON A SUNNY DAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD. NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD IN SIGHT. THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM BEEPED AND FLASHED THE WARNING ON THE DASH. AT THE SAME TIME THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY BEFORE DISENGAGING. THE BRAKING LOWERED MY SPEED TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THE ONLY CONCLUSION I COULD REACH WAS THAT THE SYSTEM MISTOOK THE SHADOW OF A TREE FOR AN OBJECT BUT I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN TAKING AN EXIT RAMP FROM A HIGHWAY WHEN THE COLLISION WARNING FLASHED AND THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY, DROPPING MY SPEED SOMEWHAT, BEFORE DISENGAGING. IN BOTH CASES, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED, THOUGH I AM GLAD IT DID AS OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHED FROM BEHIND SOON AFTER.
