About 3 months ago, the emergency brake light, traction control light, ABS light and power steering light started coming off and on, they now stay on all the time. I took and had it checked, CODE 121-11 for the VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Had it checked for a program update I was told that there wasn't an update and the part to fix it has been on backorder from Honda for at least two years. (I notified Honda about this) I have a very strange sound when applying the brakes on a cold start and I can also feel a jerk in the brake pedal. Also noticed that oil is leaking around the engine cover and was told that it is a manufacturing issue with Honda. The cover is plastic and over the years, the plastic shrinks and causes a small oil leak. Replacing the cover and gasket would fix this.

The V6 version is under recall. However, this vehicle should be as well. The car fails to accelerate. My car was at the Honda Dealership for over ten days. I came in because my car was unexpectedly unable to accelerate. Honda advised me there wasn't a code but I needed a new battery and other maintenance. I picked up my car, and within 1 mile, I could not accelerate when exiting and was nearly in an accident. Honda advised me at first the car had a misfire and then was unable to duplicate the error. I advised them that it was a safety hazard to drive the vehicle, and if I leave the shop and get into an accident it would be their fault. The next day they said it was a valve issue, and now fuel injectors. I did a search online, and many Honda Accords 2017 owners have the same issue.

Fuel injectors failed on two occasions causing the vehicle to lose power and stall while driving at highway speeds.to my knowledge the parts are no longer available for inspection. Our safety was put at risk due the loss of power on the highway. After the second reported incident, the dealer diagnosed the problem and replaced the faulty fuel injectors. To my knowledge, only the repairing dealer inspected the vehicle. The "check engine" light appeared as the engine began to lose power.

On Thursday July 14, while driving on HWY 278, the car had a sudden failure and starting decelerating. It almost got me and my daughter who was riding with me at the time killed. Only the grace of God protected us!!! I managed to get the car to the Honda dealer (DCH Academy Honda #708, Old Bridge, NJ). They informed me that the fuel pump failed and needed to change. The problem appeared all of a sudden and there was no warning at all. The car is being maintained regularly. This seems to be a manufacturing problem in the fuel pump for Honda Accord 2017 and it needs to be addressed. Again this almost got me killed!!!!!!

While arriving home today, I left my car running as I carried in groceries. When I came back to get some groceries I started smelling plastic burning. I then see smoke coming out from under my hood. I turn off my vehicle I pop open my hood and I Discover that the fan on the driver side is melted into my radiator. There are two fans in the front of the Honda accord. The fan on the passenger side is Fine however, the Driver side fan is completely melted. This was clearly a fire hazard where this car could-€™ve been on fire. I was fortunate enough to be home and not having my child in my vehicle. I called Honda to see if it was covered under warranty and they stated no. I did ask that this be reported if anyone else had this issue just for the fact it-€™s a safety issue

In 2017 I purchased a new Accord Touring. Shortly after purchase, I noticed the car would stall. I have taken the car back on several occassions to have it checked. Each time I have been told they can not detect anything and can not reproduce the issue. I have nearly been hit on a few occassions. I have also complained about the lane departure feature. It too has automatically and without reason over corrected, nearly causing collisions because it abruptly and without reason self corrected. The automatic breaking system has also enacted and caused unwarranted stopping. When the brake notification warning flashes on the dashboard, has caused me to react by applying pressure to the brakes even when it was unneccessary. This feature seems to wear down the brakes with the sudden and unwarranted stopping; even producing the smell of brakes and tires burning. All of these issues are extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury and even death nearly causing cars to hit me in the back. The lane departure and auto correction has caused the car to over correct and veer into other lanes or even off road. This is extremely concerning as it the auto correction can lasts for seconds and I was unable to stop it or regain steering control of the vehicle. These incidents have happened on several occassions and were reported to the dealership.
