1) power train system and anti lock brake system. Base on the code found in the fix finder report my solutions were to replace the fuel pump and battery. The battery was changed one week ago and it is telling me that the battery must be change again due to an electrical issue. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. 2) While driving my car began to accelerate picking up speed by itself and then suddenly dropped the speed. I had to pull over and stop the car. 3)unknown 4)No 5)The engine light, power steering light turned on today 8/11/2023 while driving. My car began to drive strange and accelerating by itself.

On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, my wife was parking her car in the parking lot of a TJ Maxx, 4220 Summer Ave, Memphis, TN 38122. As she turned right into the parking space, at a very low rate of speed, 1-2 mph, the engine revved and launched her into another parked vehicle. Once the engine revved and launched she had both feet on the brake pedal. It did light damage to the vehicle she hit and moderate damage to her 2016 Honda Accord Coupe. The impact was hard enough to deploy the driver side airbag. No one was in the other vehicle and she did not sustain serious injury. The car was towed to a body shop. The other vehicle was drivable and insurances were exchanged.

I was driving on the highway when all of the sudden my vehicle started stalling, then it simply lost all force and would not go. I had to get the vehicle towed and upon inspection it resulted with a defective fuel pump that needs to be replaced. The venice is not that old to have that kind of issue, and a co-worker of mine had the same issue with their vehicle which is also a 2016 Honda Accord. I did some research in some forums and it seemed that many people were reporting similar issues with the fuel pump with models between 2015 through 2019.

After I did some research I believe the fuel pump of this vehicle constantly failed. The vehicle takes much longer to start up, sometimes it take couple of try to get it started, and, it also caused engine to stall and lose power during the drive or backing up.

I was on my way to work on a major highway and my car started stalling a jerked forward almost causing a collision I pulled over to a safe area and called my family member he had to drive it to advance auto and they diagnosed it as a faulty fuel pump. I called Honda and my insurance company and got the car towed to Honda where it was also diagnosed as a fuel pump to be replaced per them my car had no other issues as I always keep up the maintenance on the car as I'm still paying for it. The only company that has this part was Honda so they ordered the part and attempted to replace it. Once I received my car back I noticed a strong gas smell and stalling to crank. I called them and had it towed back and they said it was a gas leak they had to replace the whole system they just put in. Once I received the call back I noticed the same thing but this time the scent was significantly strong causing headaches to myself and other people I also have a video of the gas pouring out from under my car after I had just filled up the tank. I told Honda the first time my concerns about it being fixed properly as I have a gas water heater in my garage where the car is kept they ensured me it was fine. I still had reservations about driving the car being stranded or it catching on fire when I received it back the third time. I was right because when I received it back not even two days later the smell permeated my house and garage and the car would not start. I had to call them and get it towed again. This will now be their fourth attempt in fixing my car. All three times they have given my car back I was so afraid of driving it I only moved the car to go to work and back home. According to them they did not have the right tool to apply the fuel pump in the first place and this is what caused the leak. I have reached out to american Honda through email and calls with no response.

The issue started when I was barely over 42,000 miles, maybe 7 months ago in October of 2019. The car would stall after it was parked for a little over 5 minutes. I replaced the battery on it and everything worked fine for another couple of days. Then, it stalled again. I took it to the Honda service center and they were not able to find a defect on the car. I decided to take it run a diagnostics through a third party after two days ago, it stalled as I was driving home. The diagnostics said my car has a defective fuel pump. What is really irresponsible on Honda's part is the fact that I take it every time and I have asked them to run this diagnostics and they have not done so.

I have taken my car to two mechanics and both have diagnosed my car and advised me that my hign pressure fuel pump is defective and needs replacing. I only have 28,000 miles on my vehicle and should not be experiencing a defective hign pressure fuel pump at such low mileage. The car has a hard time starting and stalls when I am driving it on the highway and will not exceed 60 miles per hour speed. Stalling could cause an accident and is hazardous.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle hesitated and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 19V060000 (fuel system, other). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to nalley Honda (located at 4197 jonesboro rd, union city, ga 30291, (404) 994-4321) where a fuel treatment was provided and a change of fuel, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 90,000.

Concerning the battery, I was parked in a parking stall and when I try to start my car to leave it would not start I had to call a tow truck to give me a jump. No lights or anything was left on I had turn my car completely off and then I tried to start it and it would not start I was only there like long enough to order my food and then to leave so maybe 20 minutes in my car would not start, due to the battery. Concerning the fuel system I was at a signal had my foot on the break and the car exceller rated on its own if I would not have my foot on the break I felt like it would've hit the car in front of me the whole car moved I had a passenger with me and they identify the same thing I talked took my car to the dealer I told them what had happened and they told me just don't park too close behind a car that was their response to me.I was stationary behind a vehicle at a signal waiting for the signal to turn green so I could go that's when this happen on a regular street

My fuel gauge/range has become inaccurate. I only drive my car Monday-Friday, the same route, same miles, same conditions. At the end of the week, I normally have less than a quarter of a tank left, with approx 110-120 mile range. Recently, it is showing I have remaining range of 260, but it is still requiring 12+ gallons to fill. My mpg per trip/overall has not changed. Took to dealer, they "claim" they can't find anything, I suspect it's because I have extended warranty with -0- deductible. They also asked me to bring it in on a full tank instead of 1/2 tank or less where I notice the problem begins. I get an average mpg each trip of 32.5 mpg, I have a 15 gallon tank, there is no way on the last 3 gallons of gas I would get 86.66 mpg. That is well beyond mfg specs.

I needed to change fuel pump and my fuel system cleaned because my car was stalling and not responding to acceleration on the road but respond when I didn't even accelerate which was very dangerous. I did see Honda recalled V6 models but they should recall V4 models too as it can cause serious accidents.

Re: NHTSA recall id 19V060; this recall appears to only impact V6 Honda Accord, however, I feel it should be expanded to four-cylinder as well. I have noticed my car almost stall-out on several occasions since ownership. My car has about 57K miles on it, it had 6K when I purchased it certified pre-owned. Typically, this happens when I'm sitting in a parked position in idle. But, it has also occurred when I put the car in gear, start driving at a low-speed (down our alley), and I feel gaps in the power when I push the gas. It will accelerate at a certain rate, then stop, even though I've not lifted my foot off the accelerator. I was unsure what this was related to (spark plugs), but this recall has made me think it's also related to the fuel system. This has happened on at least four separate occasions, but only relatively recently (within the past 6 months or so).
