The high pressure fuel pump is failing. Had a diagnostic ran with the help of Autozone technicians. Advised to replace it. Looked up recalls for my vehicle and found the same issue. I was driving the vehicle home from work when the vehicle was struggling to move. It is available for inspection. No lights on prior to the fuel pump failure. These lights came on after the incident: check engine light, steering wheel with the exclamation mark, traction control, and the tire pressure light blinks then remains on.

I’ve been to many auto shops including the Honda dealer and they all say my vehicle needs to have the fuel pump replaced. I’ve replaced it more than 5 times. My car stalls and will not accelerate the way it should and is a safety hazard. I am unable to drive the vehicle but it’s the only car I have. I’ve heard similar stories from family members that have the same vehicle. Fortunately they were able to purchase a newer vehicle. Not my case though. There were no warning lights prior to this. My car wouldn’t turn on one day so we changed the battery then it wouldn’t drive and then it started to stall and if driven it won’t accelerate the way it should. My car has been like this since 2022. I’ve called the dealership and they won’t look into it. There is an open recall for the coupe version of my car but they say my car isn’t on the list.

My car meets all the issues explained in recall from nhtsa [XXX]. the gas tank and the fuel service neck are not well connected and gas leaks out causing the engine light to stay on. The car meets production date, issue and the VIN is actually included in the range provided by honda to [XXX] . But somehow my VIN isnt recalled INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATI[ON ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHEN WE FILL GAS TO THE FULL TANK, IT IS SMELLING

THE HOSE ON THE GAS TANK HAS A HAIRLINE CRACK IN IT. THE ONLY WAY TO REPAINT IS TO CHANGE THE WHOLE GAS TANK WHICH IS $1200. THE FUEL TANK IS ON BACKORDER SO OBVIOUSLY OTHERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA IN 2019. ALREADY IT IS SHOWING THAT IT HAS A FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR PROBLEM THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. NOW IT CAN ONLY BE DRIVEN 40MPH OR LESS. I RECEIVED A PRINTOUT THAT DETERMINED THIS DIAGNOSIS AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I NOTIFIED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME TO CONFIRM THE TRUTH? *TR

WHILE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MY MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAS A CRACK AT THE TOP OF THE TANK WHICH LEAKS GASOLINE WHEN FILLED UP. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED AND RECALLED FOR SOME OTHER 2013 ACCORDS BUT NOT OURS. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR ANY VEHICLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO. BUT AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS THEY ARE NOT.

EMISSIONS LIGHT ON. SMELL GASOLINE ALWAYS. MECHANIC STATED HE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE CYLINDER SENSON AND PUT A NEW GAS CAP ON. ONCE THIS WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE , TWO HOURS OR LESS, EMISSION LIGHT ON AND SAME ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE INITAL PROBLEM OCCURED WITH THE EMISSION AND STILL OCCURING.

MOUSE NEST DISCOVERED IN ENGINE AFTER MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. MOUSE CHEWED THROUGH TUBES TO GAS TANK RESULTING IN NEEDING A WHOLE NEW GAS TANK. LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AFTER BEING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

MY 2013 IS AT 38,000 MILES AND I SMELL FUEL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING STARTED. I SHOW A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WHEN I ENTER MY VIN# IT SAYS MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL. SOMETHING IS GOING ON AND I THINK IT NEEDS LOOKED INTO. IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE RECALL FOR SOME MODELS, IT'S ODD THAT IT'S ALSO HAPPENING TO MINE BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL. *TR

SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD, THE HONDA HAS INTERMITTENT HESITATIONS AFTER STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, PARKING AND SO FORTH. FOR INSTANCE, FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST FIVE DAYS, I STOPPED, WENT INTO A STORE, RETURNED, CRANKED HONDA ACCORD, BACKED OUT, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO." IT SIMPLY "STALLED" , FEBRUARY 03, 2014. THIS WAS MENTIONED IN 2012 TO SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], AT HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER; IN MOBILE, AL, HE HAD ONE OF HIS TECHNICIANS TO TEST DRIVE MY HONDA. TECHNICIAN RETURNED AND CLAIMED, AFTER TESTING, AND TEST DRIVE, THAT HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK OTHER THAN A VERBAL ASSURANCE THAT I WAS PROBABLY JUST GETTING ADJUSTED TO THE "NEW CAR." AFTER THAT, EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO, I WOULD HAVE A "WHOLE WEEK OF INTERMITTENT" HESITATIONS AND STALLINGS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT - I HAVE TO REALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE CAR TO FINELY DECIDE TO "GO". THIS PROBLEM WAS VERBALLY REPORTED AGAIN TO [XXX], SERVICE MANAGER, AND TECHNICIANS, JANUARY 10, 2013 - MILES 5,384. THE REPORT WAS, "GIVE IT SOME TIME, THE CAR IS STILL NEW." - NOW, AT 24,200 MILES, THIS 2013 HONDA ACCORD STILL SCARES ME. YESTERDAY (2/3/2014), AT A FOUR-WAY STOP, MY HONDA STALLED, THE ENGINE DID NOT "TURN OFF", BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO." FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING STUTTERING WITH MY VEHICLE WHILE ACCELERATING. BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND ISSUES BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE TECH ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT CLAIMED THEY RAN FULL DIAGNOSTICS AND ASSURED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM REPLACED. *TR

ONGOING ISSUE. SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR IN THE MORNING, OR WHEN LEAVING THE OFFICE IN THE EVENING, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GIVE IT GAS THE ENGINE REVS, RPMS GO UP, BUT THE CAR WON'T GO. I WILL ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY (IT'S ON AN INCLINE), PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. THEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL RESPOND TO ME GIVING IT GAS AND TAKE OFF. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE! I HAVE ALMOST COLLIDED WITH MY NEIGHBOR BEFORE BECAUSE OF THIS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY CAN'T CHECK IT. IF THE CAR WON'T GO, HOW CAN I TAKE IT TO THEM WHILE I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE? *TR

WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING A NEW HONDA I EXPERIENCED A 2 TO 3 SECOND HESITATION PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON A GREEN LIGHT TURNING LEFT, SO I HAD TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 3 OR 4 MPH BUT TRIED TO ACCELERATE ONCE THE WAY WAS CLEAR ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO POWER! I THEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAD STALLED. JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO TRY AND RESTART THE CAR IT KICKED IN AND I SURGED AHEAD JUST SECONDS BEFORE BEING HIT HEAD ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER. THIS TIME THE ONCOMING CAR HAD TO GO AROUND ME OR WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED. MY CAR IS NOW CLOSE TO 7 MONTHS OLD AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND REPORTED IT TO HONDA OF AMERICA. MY CASE NUMBER IS #12013-04-1600114. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM MANY TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT'S AN INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCE AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RECREATE WHILE RIDING AROUND WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER IN THE CAR. I HAVE FOUND MANY INSTANCES ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET AS WELL AS FINDING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH IS PENDING IN CALIFORNIA, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY MUST SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FROM MY DESCRIPTION, ESPECIALLY SINCE OTHER DRIVERS ARE RELATING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR A TOTAL OF 34 DAYS WHILE IT SAT IN THE SHOP OF 2 DIFF. DEALERSHIPS WAITING FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX MY PROBLEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING EXCEPT TEST DRIVE IT AND THEN SAY "PROBLEM NOT FOUND". I FIND THAT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF TO ME ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME I DRIVE IT. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE SAFETY IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME, BUT THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE! PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

ON 1/16/2013 WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ON AND BLINKED OFF AND ON THREE TIMES AND WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE GAS CAP WAS CHECKED IT WAS NOT LOOSE. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT THEN CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED OVER THE PHONE AND A TECHNICIAN SAID THIS WAS NORMAL AND THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WOULD GO OUT.THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT AND AFTER A COUPLE DAYS YOU COULD SMELL FUEL IN THE CAR IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE A FAULTY GAS TANK THAT WAS LEAKING AT A SEAM. NO LEAKAGE WAS NOTED UNDER THE VEHICLE. DEALER IS REPLACING THE GAS TANK UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY. *TR
