“On August 23, 2026, the electronic power steering and braking systems on a 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid completely failed and locked up simultaneously while traveling at highway speeds. This caused an immediate and severe safety risk, resulting in a near-collision on a busy freeway with three occupants inside the vehicle. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. Prior to and during the failure, widespread dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, including the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Low Speed Braking Control. Additionally, 11 malfunction alerts were triggered via the HondaLink app. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealer from August 24 to September 11, 2026. As documented in the attached Honda dealer service report, technicians initially noted low voltage codes causing multiple system failures. However, instead of identifying and repairing the root cause of the voltage drop, the dealer merely cleared the codes, test-drove the vehicle, and closed the repair order stating they "could not duplicate concern." Furthermore, the attached text message…”
“While driving ~70 mph on highway on adaptive cruise control, the car suddenly LOST ALL POWER/ACCELERATION, including POWER STEERING and ALL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD.

The car slowed with no power steering, I managed to parked on the shoulder and turned on hazard light. This is extremely dangerous as the highway traffic was extremely heavy. After I parked, I pressed the ENGINE START/STOP button thinking I needed to "turn it off" but the car already had lost power at that point anyway. After pressing it a couple times, the car restarted and I drove to the dealer with one error message remaining on the dashboard - "Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See you dealer." and the CHECK ENGINE light was on.”
