I was driving on the highway doing a normal lane change then all of a sudden lost all control of the vehicle. Loss of power and maneuverability. I went into the side ditch where my vehicle completely flipped over. I had just got the BCM recall on my vehicle 5 days prior. I cannot explain how, only that my vehicle lost complete control for no reason, it was as if I had turned my engine off while changing lanes.

Shortly after starting the car, car shudders when accellerating over 40 mph. Do not matter which mode it is in. All lead to engine shuddering and the flashing check engine light. When not engaged in eco mode, I received a notice say canceling econ mode when the mode was not egaged, the typical process is start car and within a few minutes, accelerate above 40 mph and within seconds get a blinking check engine light, a shuddering engine that is slowing down below 60 mpg and getting more violent, this began after picking up the car from having routine maintenance performed. I know there is out for the general 2019 Accord model, just not my model, but the fuel pump issue sounds very similar to what I am experiencing with my Honda Accord. The "solution" so far is pull over and turn the vehicle over and restart it and hope for the before, but it only gives a temporary fix.

On 3 different dates my 2019 Honda Accord sport had a power failure. I was going about 65 to 70 mph when each incident occurred. First time was around 12/12/2021.the engine or power shut off, RPM dropped all at once for about a minute then came back to life. The second time was 12/28/2020 on the same interstate 81fgoing about the same speed. This time I pulled off the interstate the car was still shut off. I restarted the car it drove ok and no more trouble that day. On 01/12/2020 it happened again on I 81 interstate and again it shut off or lost all power for about a minute then it recovered itself.this was a very bad situation as I was in 3 lanes of traffic with tractor trailers all around going 70 mph.I have reported this to miller Honda, three times. They took it in and tried to see if it would shut off on them.it did not at that time. Service manager could find nothing at that time. I have called Honda and registered a claim as I feel this new car with only 5,500 miles on it is not safe to drive.

On 3 diifferant dates my 2019 Honda Accord sport had a power failure on the highway interstate 81, going around 65 to 70 mph. The engine shut off for just a minute then came back to life. RPM dropped all at once. 1st time on 12/07/2020. Second time was 12/28/2020 same interstate same around the same speed. This I pulled off to side of intersate. The car was still shut off. I restarted car and it started fine and no more disfunction that day. On 01/12/2020 it happened again on I 81 interstate and again it shut off lost all power for a minute, rpms dropped completely and then it recovered itself. Now I have reported this to miller Honda 3 times. Just last week they took it in for another recall on somethi;ng in the computer and they up dated that. A that time the service manager said he could find nothing that showed it had ever shut itself off in the past. I did shut itself off 3 times and I dont care what he said it did happen and I do not feel this vehicle is safe to drive. It is a year old I bought it brand new at miller Honda in winchester va. And it has only 5400, miles on it.

Shifts from drive to neutral when shifter is slightly contacted, such as removing a water bottle from cupholder near shifter console. This has happened at least 3 times including while driving and when idling. If this happens at 60mph you will slow down to a stop without brake lights lit, possibly in the middle of a highway, may result in rear end accident. I was lucky to have noticed and was able to shift back to drive without accident occurring. I am emailing service department at burns Honda regarding this problem today, as they are currently closed for thanksgiving.

I purchased a brand new 2019 Honda Accord 2.0 touring in August 2019 in December 2019 the car stalled out on the interstate, they replaced the engine turbo, June 2020 same thing happened no repairs performed stated they couldn't find anything wrong open a claim with Honda customer service, on August 24,2020 car stalled out for the 3rd time again while driving on the interstate this is becoming to be a real safety concern because it just happens very randomly. Called again to Honda to report the issue and my warranty just ended today but when the breakdown happened I was still in warranty and I recorded the event this time. Breakdown mileage was 35,941 when this happens the car check engine light flashes and the car loses all power. This always happens during highway travel and highway speeds of 65mph or greater after driving the vehicle for a period of 2 or more hours straight. Once the car is stopped the check engine light goes off and once the vehicle is restarted it drives normal again.

During a highway drive during rain, the vehicle lost power and the check engine light started to blink. I was unable to maintain speed or move to the right lane and pull over because of traffic. A large 18 wheeler behind me almost rear-ended my vehicle. I pulled over and inspected the engine, water was able to get into the air box and appears cause the vehicle to enter limp mode. I had a co-worker with the same vehicle have the same probelm during rain storm. Dealer was unable to locted sotred code or find the problem.

I bough a brand new 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T touring from Honda cars of rockwall in tx around mid August and have since been driving the car on a daily basis. At around 12K miles I took the engine cover off to clean in the engine compartment, I ha ve discovered 2 small pools of oil just sitting between the rear side of valve cover and the engine block just directly under the PCV valve port. I have read several online threads that similar owners of the same car and the type R which has the same engine are experiencing the same issue with possibly wrapped head or defective valve cover

Car has gone into limp mode twice. First time was when I had it for 2 weeks. I was driving 65mph and the car just stopped in the highway. I had to get the car off the road to keep from getting hit and caused some undercarriage damage. The car was towed. Honda "fixed" the limp mode issue but refused to accept responsibility for any other damage caused by the car going into limp mode. Last month I was coming home from work at 2:30 am and the car went into limp mode again. The car was towed for a second time to a different Honda dealership where they stated there was no way the first dealership fixed the car. There were metal shavings noted throughout the system, the fuel injector and all of the cylinders had to be replaced. I am concerned about the metal shaving noted in my oil and throughout the system causing further engine damage as time goes on. Honda has also refused to pay for my rental car during this process even though it was a manufacturing issue. Honda customer service on 6/7/19 also stated that if the car goes into limp mode again and I get hit, all additional damage caused from the accident will be my responsibility.

I started to notice months ago, when stopped or idling, my vehicle begins to misfire or the RPM accelerates.took it in the dealership multiple times, they can't seem to diagnose the issue. This is a major safety issue, I have almost hit several pedestrians and other vehicles due to this issue.

We bought a brand new Honda Accord 2019(LX) on June 29, 2019. Not even a month later I.e. on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 7:49 pm my Honda Accord stopped in the middle of the highway due to unknown reason. Behind us was a truck and we were at 70 mph highway, we were about to be hit either by the truck or by the car on the right lane. Thanks to the truck driver and the person driving that SUV who stopped in time. We merely escaped death like situation. Post that I called Honda road side assistance and they asked me to move to a safe location and call them again. I tried to drive the car again and drove couple of miles where my car finally stopped moving and smoke started coming from the exhaust. Scared we quickly evacuated the car and moved to a safe location at 8:23 pm. Post that cops came to ask why we stopped there, we explained them the situation. We were told to stop the engine and wait there till the towing car arrived. I had so much trust in Honda and we are so traumatized with this situation and I still can't believe how this happened. This is a brand new car with total miles of 657 miles. I didn't expect this from a brand-new car. We were lucky enough to escape death on the highway. We were exhausted and terrified with this event. Yesterday Honda service center company called and told that the the turbo charger failed internally, causing oil to go into the exhaust system. This caused contamination of the catalytic converter and damaged the oxygen sensors. I am not sure if I can or anyone can trust Honda ever again. If something would have happened to me or my family will Honda be responsible for this. Question is do you still trust Honda ?

On 30 June 2019, my wife and I were driving back home to va from ok on highway 40 heading West near sallisaw ok. Road was wet and was climbing a hill. I stepped on accelerator to pass while going about 65 mph. The engine stumbled and shuttered, the check engine light came on and car went from approx. 65 mph down to 25 mph. I had to get over to the breakdown lane and drive about 6 miles to next exit at 25 mph. Pulled in at a gas station, open the hood, checked the oil which was good. Took a break, started it back up and did not attempt to pass another vehicle until the next trip to nh. Mileage was approx. 5500. On 23 July 2019, driving back to va from nh on highway 84 heading South near tolland ct. Road was wet, light rain and was climbing a hill. Stepped on accelerator to pass while going about 65 mph. Engine stumbled and shuttered, check engine light came on, and car again went from 65 mph down to 35 mph. Again had to crawl to the next exit but this one was within 1 mile. Mileage approx. 7800. Stopped at dunkin donuts, took a few minute break, got back in and babied care until getting back home. Called dealership and brought in for diagnostic check on 24 July 2019. Dealership said that there was no record of the car shutting down or engine light coming on.
