What owners say about the fuel/propulsion system

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Car shuts off at highway speeds and in stop and go traffic like it has a fuel delivery issue. Car sputters and then loses all power. I know there was a previous recall on this vehicle but I’m curious whether it was actually fixed on my car specifically.”

“Pulled off my street to go to work, and the car engine started hesitating, misfiring and losing power. I turned around and was able to get it to a safe location, but had to have it towed to the dealership. Dealership ran codes said it was a bad injector issue and quoted me $2,600 to replace all 4. My Accord just turned 9 and has had all recommended services done. This is my 4th Honda and have never had any fuel injector issues with prior cars. My car is not showing as part of the recall for this, but it should be because they are defective. If I had not turned around, a semi could have hit me as I was in an industrial area, because the car all of a sudden lost power. This is an extreme safety issue and should be recalled.”

“The component that failed is the fuel pump, which had previously been replaced under a manufacturer recall but is now failing again. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This failure has created a serious safety risk, as the car stalls while driving, begins to shake, makes abnormal noises from the exhaust, and then shuts off without warning, increasing the risk of an accident, especially in traffic or at higher speeds. The problem has been confirmed by an independent auto repair shop, and I have an invoice documenting that the fuel pump is the cause of the issue. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other third parties regarding this current failure. Prior to the failure, there were noticeable warning signs, including shaking, unusual exhaust noise, and intermittent stalling, which began shortly before the vehicle started shutting off completely while in operation.”

“I have a 2017 Honda Accord Sport. According to the recall, the low pressure fuel pump has a faulty impeller. My low pressure, in tank, fuel pump failed. The failed pump caused the high pressure fuel pump to fail. DTC code P00087, low fuel pressure recorded. Symptoms included loss of motive power above 2000 rpm, hard starts, and engine light. According to Service Bulletin 24-072 all 2013-2017 Accords are affected. However, check VIN for my Accord, which has the exact symptoms, was not included in the recall. I opened a Case with Honda (#16134549) for review. Honda denied that this vehicle was part of the recall and they will not assist with the repair. Come on Honda do the right thing!”
