NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2019 Honda Accord. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
I am the original owner of a 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid that I have taken to Envision Honda of Milpitas. I have been consistently maintaining according to Honda’s recommended service schedule. No prior issues were noted. What happened to it is beyond normal wear and tear (failed head gasket). My car only had 78,731 miles on it when incident happened. I did not have any concerns with the vehicle until 11/12/2025 while driving on Freeway. On 11/12/2025, while commuting home from work in the evening on the freeway, all warning lights came on (10/10 lights, including the check engine light). The vehicle could not exceed 50 mph on freeway, and began rumbling. The vehicle had no prior issues. I exited the freeway with hazard lights activated and contacted AAA for assistance. I took my car to Envision Honda of Milpitas the next day (11/13/2025) was informed that the head gasket was blown off. "Cylinder leak down test done and found head gasket is blown on chamber 1 causing the coolant to leak inside the combustion chamber and causes cylinder to misfire. Recommend to perform teardown and inspection, head gasket replacement and re-check." It was dangerous as I was not able to speed more than 50 mph in the freeway while other cars were going fast. I am currently pregnant and was scared.
It’s started at 80,000 miles when my check engine light came on and it give a code P0302 So I change the spark plugs but when I replace it with the new one the code came but the code came off and after a few days later it came back on and it throw the same code. I believe that my head gasket is not good.
This has happened out of the blue and randomly more than once recently. loss of power/no acceleration. once it had no acceleration when taking off from a stopped position, and then again it lost acceleration while driving at a speed of around 50MPH the car would no longer accelerate, had to pull off to the side of the road and turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes and then restarted the car and it resumed to function normally. there are no codes in the system, no warning lights, this has happened 4 different times now. Honda says they cant do anything if they cant make it repeat the problem when they diagnosis it and if the system doesnt have any active codes in it.
On 5/12/2025 at 104,385 miles I brought my 2019 Accord Hybrid Touring into the local Honda dealer for recommended services that populated in the maintenance minder. It was a larger service plugs, coolant flush, brake fluid flush. Early November of 2025 at around 115K miles I had a warning message appear that said engine temperature critical. I checked the overflow reservoir and the coolant level was in operating range. The next day I got the same message, waited for the engine to cool. I took the radiator cap off and added about 1/2 gal of Honda coolant. I proceeded to monitor coolant levels occasionally adding coolant. There were no external coolant leaks. I dropped the vehicle off at Wilde Honda on 12/8/2025 and after testing the system they indicated that there were coolant leaks in 3 of the 4 cylinders due to a failed head gasket. They also said the radiator might be leaking out of the top seam but couldn’t know for sure. The immediate failure of a head gasket could allow the vehicle to stall out while driving. I had the head gasket, timing chain and radiator replaced at 117,302 miles at a cost of $4200. Head gasket failure at this mileage and this brand is unheard of except when you look at the model years with this same design. There was a class action suit on the turbo charged models but more and more consumers are noticing failures with the non turbo hybrid engine as well. Honda is stating that there is no issue with the head gasket in the Hybrid models.
While I was driving my car on the highway doing the speed limit of 60mph my car lost complete power and lost speed to below 20mph and would not gain speed. I pulled over on the highway turned the car off and back on. It begins driving again normal. The next morning it was mis firing so I took it in to the dealer and this is what I was told after getting a diagnostic check: FOUND CYLINDERS 1 AND 4 LEAKING COOLANT FROM THE HEAD GASKET. I RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAD GASKET, FUEL INEJECTORS, AND SPARK PLUGS. HEAD MAY NEED RESURFACED. INCLUDED IS ALSO OIL CHANGE
Head gasket blown at very low mileage. Roughly a little more than 80,000 miles on them and head gasket was blown. Car went to Limp mode and caused a safety concern while trying to get to a safe location. The problem has been confirmed by a mechanic and all the lights on the dash lit up at once
This needs to be addressed. EVERYONE knows NOW that there is a high incidence of Head Gasket failure with Honda. The Honda head gasket class action lawsuit includes the following vehicles if equipped with 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter i-VTEC turbocharged gasoline direct injection engines: 2018-2022 Honda Accord 2016-2022 Honda Civic 2017-2022 Honda CR-V 2021-2022 Acura RDX 2019-2022 Acura TLX I got an "approximate cost" for a head gasket repair on a 2019 Honda Accord, of $3000 from the Honda dealer after previously getting a $3559 from an independent. The dealer just came back to me with an estimate of $5781.32. I check reliability ratings before ever buying a car. It's a Honda! If they are not willing to do the right thing, maybe they should be made to? This NEEDS to be a recall. Do you even know how many Americans have been affected by this? Including those that haven't complained or reported it?
While driving my 2019 Honda Accord, after about five minutes on the road, multiple warning lights suddenly appeared on the dashboard. The emission system, brake system, power steering, TPMS, ACC, hill start assist, collision mitigation, and vehicle stability assist warnings all came on at the same time. The alerts caused concern for safety, as several major systems such as steering assist, braking, and driver-assist features appeared to malfunction simultaneously. The issue seems related to an electrical or charging system failure (such as the alternator or battery), since all of these systems rely on stable voltage to operate correctly. The incident occurred without warning and could have resulted in loss of steering assist or engine power while driving
Hello- I am writing in regards to my 2019 Honda Accord Sport. All the lights on the dashboard randomly comes on . I’ve had the car checked out at the dealership and they don’t seem to know why the light is on besides maybe the computer needs to be reset . There are hundreds of other Honda owners with the same issue. I would like to know what is Honda’s resolution to this issue that’s lot of customers are having . Thank you
Blown head gasket, car never overheated. Suddenly lost power in highway and car died. Dealership is stating blown head gasket. Seems to be a common issue.
DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP FROM FUEL PUMP RECALL LED TO FAULTY FUEL PUMP INJECTORS, WHICH LED TO ALL WARNING LIGHTS TO COME ON AT THE SAME TIME. HONDA IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF FAULTY PARTS THAT PUT THE CONSUMER AT UNNECESSARY RISK OF INJURY.
See attached document for complaint.
I have a 2019 Honda Accord sport 1.5T that has a blown head gasket. I took it to the dealer and opened a case with Honda through their good will program, but was recently denied because they claim there was no manufacturer defect after the dealership inspected it. There seems to be a lot of people that are having the same issues with this engine, and there are a couple lawsuits against Honda regarding it. The car was inspected at a Honda dealership and they diagnosed it as a blown head gasket and quoted the repair of $5200. A case was opened with Honda corporate through their Goodwill program, but was recently denied as not a fault of the manufacturer. The car overheated on 10/10/25 while driving, potentially leading to engine damage
I was traveling on a two lane road at approximately 40 mph when the automatic braking engaged for no reason, bringing the car to almost a complete stop. There were no other cars from either direction.
In 2 instances the car put on brakes for no reason. Nothing was in front of car. I was traveling roughly 70 mph and car slowed down and brake indicator came on, also going 75 with cruise control on and the system that brakes the car slowed the car down and then just quit working. Warning lights came on saying system failure but after car was turned off then turned back on there were no warnings.
Wednesday 10/01/25 I was driving to work on the highway with cruise control on, it was a empty road with nothing in front or behind me, my steering wheel got yanked out of my hands and turned all the way to the right towards the guard rail, then the steering wheel got yanked all the way to the left automatically, I did a 180 degree spin and crash my 2019 Honda Accord Touring 2.0L. I believe the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) was at fault as well as the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The vehicle got towed off the highway directly to a local body shop. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Mine and others safety was put at risk because the vehicle decided to crash itself potentially killing me or other people. The vehicle just arrived at the body shop and no diagnosis has been done yet. The vehicle is not drivable so the problem has not been reproduced. Vehicle has not been inspected and looked into yet, I am waiting for the body man to do a deep dive into it or I am planning on bringing it back to the dealership. There was no warning lamps present.
Two issues, the car will just stop on the freeway, Honda said noting is wrong with it, this occurred four times. also the headlights stopped working after 50k miles on it, they told me to replace the entire unit. at 800. 00 Each just like the 2016-2017 Honda Daytime headlight issue now the 2019 headlights are having issues.
I bought this car and after only owning it for eight months, as I was driving down the freeway, every light on my dashboard lit up, and my car slowed down. I was able to pull to the side of the road, but I could no longer drive my car home and I was commuting. Since the first incident, I have repaired my car having the coil repaired spark plugs, and regular maintenance in the last eight months that I have owned the car and now my turbo charger needs to be replaced. I took it into two different mechanic shops. My car is only at 130K miles this should not be causing an issue with a Honda now I cannot find anyone to repair it without costing me $2000 plus.
After the vehicle misfiring , kept changing spark plugs and coil , as well the vehicle shutting over while driving on the highway , having to get it towed and then finally able to get to dealership , Honda said the head gasket failed , so after the head gasket replacement and getting it fixed for $5K, it started to make a noise rattling , took it back to dealership and they said it was the Turbo when I took it back to dealership , they said it was failing , it was not making a noise until after head gasket replacement . The dealer said the turbo messing up wasnt from head gasket replacement , but I’m very aware it’s possible and there was absolutely no noise before replacement of head gasket !
In the past 2 months my car starting having rough idle issues. As recommended by the dealership, I replaced the head gasket as they said it was leaking coolant into the cylinder causing the rough idle. Almost immediately after paying for this, the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with multiple warnings and the car went into limp mode, lost acceleration and would have been extremely dangerous had we been on the interstate or multi lane road. Took it back to the dealership, ran another diagnostic and determined the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. These repairs cost over $5,000. Recalls have already been put in place for models around this one and Honda should acknowledge these problems as it is wide spread.
My vehicle’s fuel delivery system failed after a recall repair. The in-tank fuel pump was replaced under recall by the dealer, even though I had no drivability complaints, no warning lights, and a full inspection that day confirmed no issues with my vehicle. Immediately after the recall pump replacement, the vehicle developed drivability problems including sputtering, hesitation, and failure to start.On one occasion, the underside of the car overheated and exhaust fumes, including carbon monoxide, entered the cabin. The interior filled with heat and fumes, I became lightheaded, dizzy, and shaky, and nearly lost consciousness while driving. My dog, who was with me, vomited and panted heavily from the exposure. I had to pull over and exit the vehicle immediately. This incident occurred only after the recall pump was replaced and points to faulty installation or malfunction of the recall component, which disrupted the fuel system and caused improper combustion and exhaust handling. On another occasion, the vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection, leaving me at serious risk of being hit by cross traffic. The car now shows a high-pressure fuel pump fault. Although the in-tank pump and the high-pressure pump are in different locations, they are part of the same system: the in-tank pump supplies steady fuel volume and pressure directly to the high-pressure pump. If the in-tank pump is defective, mis-installed, or inconsistent, it causes the high-pressure pump to fail. This made my vehicle unsafe to operate, placing me, my passengers, and other drivers at risk. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership, which documented a high-pressure fuel pump fault, and reviewed by Honda Corporate. Components and service records are available for inspection. There were no warning lamps, messages, or drivability issues prior to the recall service, all symptoms appeared immediately afterward.
I have taken my car to the Honda dealership on multiple occasions because my car has stopped accelerating while driving on the interstate. The car will flash the check engine light and completely stop accelerating while driving. I was first told it was the fuel pump that was recalled and waiting over a year on the recalled part and multiple times breaking down while driving they finally replaced the part. After the dealership replaced fuel pump I continued to have problems unfortunately happening more often and worse than before replacing the fuel pump. I was then told my car was misfiring and needing a tune up which would involve replacing all four coil packs and spark plugs. I replaced all of these recommended parts with no resolution to my problem. I have since be told by the dealership my car needs all four fuel injectors replaced after running the diagnostic tests. After doing research it seems to be a common problem with this make and model car. I can’t believe with as many cars with this same issue and the safety issues with completely stalling in the middle of traffic there are no recalls on these cars.
All the lights on the dash board is on, car won’t accelerate pass 20mph. I have gotten the fuel pump replaced (recall), head gasket replaced, ignition coals and spark plugs replaced(tune up) , oil changed, engine hair filter and cabin air filter. Every other week it’s something wrong with my 2019 Honda accord.
My head gasket blew in my car while driving on a highway, causing the car to jerk and completely die on me and it was unable to be restarted. My cylinder walls are scored and my head is completely ruined. It was a safety risk due to me being in the middle of the highway and having no control of the car as it died. It is also the second time the head gasket has blown since having the vehicle less than 3 years.
My son was driving home from work when car suddenly went into limp mode with check engine light and all other safety light came on the dash. Driving around 50mph and my son nearly collided with multiple cars as the became hard to steer and brakes unreliable. Luckily no one was hurt this time. Car has 83k miles. was taken to the dealer and diagnostics run and provided with a $5000. repair to replace the head gasket due to coolant leaking into cylinder #3 causing misfires. I have reached out to Honda of America with the issue.
Why the 2019 Honda Accord Turbocharger Deserves a Class Action Lawsuit Many 2019 Honda Accord owners equipped with the 1.5L or 2.0L turbocharged engines have experienced serious and recurring issues with their turbochargers and related engine systems. These problems often appear prematurely and result in expensive repairs, performance loss, and potential safety risks — all of which suggest a manufacturing or design defect that Honda has failed to properly address. 1. Widespread Turbocharger Failures A large number of owners have reported: •Turbocharger failure or malfunction well before 100,000 miles. •Loss of engine power, whistling noises, or “limp mode” warnings. •Excessive oil consumption and contamination caused by turbo seal leaks. These are not isolated incidents — they indicate a pattern of premature component failure. 2. Manufacturer Awareness Without Proper Remedy Honda has issued technical service bulletins (TSBs) acknowledging certain turbo-related problems, but no recall or extended warranty has been offered to cover affected owners. This shows awareness of the issue but a lack of full accountability. 3. Potential Safety Risk When the turbo fails, the vehicle can suddenly lose power — especially dangerous during highway driving or merging. This transforms a mechanical issue into a potential safety hazard. 4. Financial Burden on Owners Turbocharger repairs can cost $2,000–$4,000+, often out of pocket since Honda claims these are not “defects.” Many drivers are left paying for repairs on vehicles that should not experience such failures this early. 5. Possible Breach of Warranty and Consumer Protection Laws
During highway driving the collision system starts to brake without any risk or objects in view. Happen twice within 10 minutes
Driving along at approximately 41 mph, CMBS unexpectedly activated for no apparent reason. There was no object in road to potentially collide with. Warning system barely activated before CMBS engaged braking very hard. Vehicle went from 41 mph to 31 mph in 2 seconds as recorded on dash cam. This is the 2nd occurrence in the same approximate location, both for no apparent reason & with no object in road ahead. Had an another car been following closely, this would have caused injury.
While driving my 2019 Honda Accord, the engine began misfiring and losing power. A diagnostic scan showed misfire codes (P0300–P030X). The issue was traced to coolant leaking into the combustion cylinder due to a head gasket defect. This caused engine hesitation, reduced acceleration, and risk of stalling while in traffic. I have learned that Honda has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for this issue, but no recall. This is a serious safety concern because loss of power or stalling could cause an accident, especially at highway speeds or during turns/intersections. The repair is extremely costly for owners, and the defect appears to be widespread in 2018–2019 Accord models with the 1.5L turbo engine. This should be investigated and addressed as a recall to protect drivers.
Vehicle Information: Make/Model/Year: 2019 Honda Accord VIN: [XXX] Mileage at time of issue: ~70,000 miles Engine: 1.5L Turbo (if different, update before submitting) Dealership: Capitol Honda San Jose, California Complaint Summary: Engine misfire, rough running, and head gasket failure allowing coolant into cylinders. Details of the Problem: At around 70,000 miles, my 2019 Honda Accord began running rough and misfiring. Our independent mechanic scanned the vehicle and found failure codes for cylinders 2 and 3. The spark plugs and ignition coils were replaced, but the car continued to run poorly and the misfires persisted. We then took the vehicle to Capitol Honda in San Jose, CA. The dealership performed a diagnostic inspection and a borescope test, confirming coolant intrusion in the combustion chambers. They diagnosed the vehicle with a blown head gasket, noting visible coolant in cylinders 2 and 3. This car has been carefully maintained, never overheated, and serviced on schedule. Head gasket failure at this relatively low mileage is abnormal and appears consistent with defects reported by other Honda owners involving turbocharged 1.5L engines. This condition can cause rough idling, loss of power, and potential engine stalling, creating a safety risk while driving. Repair costs are significant and may indicate a systemic defect in this engine design. Requested Action: Please investigate head gasket and coolant intrusion failures in 2018–2022 Honda Accord models, especially those with the 1.5L turbo engine, as this issue appears to be increasingly common and poses a risk of sudden engine failure.

With my 2019 Honda accords I have had this car going on 4 yrs and now all my dashboard lights are on .. and stay on . Seltbelt lights , lane lights , brake, check engine light and light u can think of it's on in this car and it's not just my car
Head gasket failure was noted and happened at about 95000 miles. Crack in a cylinder lead to leaking of coolant and caused misfires and check engine. Was let know that if ignored engine could “expire” at a random time if not dealt with asap could have lead to a crash, injury, or harm others or property. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The problem was confirmed by dealer and partially before dealer by independent mechanic. Vehicle was inspected by dealer and trusted independent mechanic. Zero warning about failure up until failure. Vehicle entered safety crawl mode when engaged in any throttle with resistance up hill or on flat over 20 mph. First appeared just shy of 95000 miles. A known issue in many many of this specific make and model of car with varying years.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly decelerated and failed to properly accelerate before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the local mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The fuel pump was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); and the fuel pump was replaced, but the failure occurred. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,018.
Although my VIN currently shows no open recalls (because the fuel pump recall was previously marked completed), the replacement part failed while driving in traffic, leaving me stranded. This vehicle previously had the low-pressure fuel pump replaced under the Honda recall campaign. On [XXX], the replacement fuel pump failed again while driving in rush hour traffic in North Dallas, causing the vehicle to stall in a live lane and creating a major safety hazard. I attempted dozens of restarts without success. The vehicle was towed to Coit Auto Center ($80), where they performed a diagnostic test confirming low-pressure fuel pump failure codes — the same component that was recalled. On August 16, 2025, the vehicle was then towed ($223) to John Eagle Honda in Dallas (the original selling dealer and recall repairer). Honda and the dealership stated the repeat failure was not warrantable because the recall repair had already been performed once. This is unacceptable. A recall remedy that fails is still a recall compliance issue, not a customer-pay repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Honda’s handling of repeat recall failures. The vehicle requires replacement of the defective pump and coverage of labor costs, as well as a full diagnostic inspection (starter, alternator, battery, ignition, ECU, and electronics) to ensure it is safe for road use after the stall and restart attempts.

The contact owned a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the computer system failed. The contact stated that the traction control, tire pressure warning system, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the power steering seized, and the tires slipped. In addition, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact attempted to steer the vehicle onto the shoulder of the road. The contact’s vehicle crashed into a metal wall several times. The contact sustained injuries to the left shoulder and his neck. In addition, the contact sustained multiple bruises and bumps. The contact received medical treatment from the contact’s primary care physician. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. An independent mechanic connected a scanner to the black box, and the vehicle's computer displayed a warning. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the vehicle was condemned total loss. A police report was filed. The contact obtained the black box and was seeking assistance with collecting the stored data. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000.
Th head gasket failed in 2019 Honda Accord , it kept misfiring , causing vehicle to not run and shut down . After the dealership fixed the head gasket , it had now caused the turbo to mess up which the dealership said wasn’t covered . It was taken to Honda dealership
While driving ~40 mph call all of a sudden lost power in middle of busy street, was not able to steer or drive (pedals weren't working to provide power). I pulled off to side and saw check engine light blinking and warning message pop up about Brake system not working. I turned the car off then turned it back on and worked normally and was able to drive home.
I have been driving my car and it won’t accelerate and it’ll be in traffic and I’m afraid I’m going to get into a wreck or break down in the middle of the road. I can hear fluid releasing and when we looked into it, I was losing coolant and looks like it may have vans going into oil. I can’t afford to get this fixed. Now my husband is affected by the government shutdown and it also seems like no one will fix it. I can go to dealership but I’m paying so much every time and it’s so hard. I need this vehicle for work and I can’t drive it. There’s been a couple incidents. I can’t pin point the exact date. I take it to the shop and I’m being told it was something else. I get that fixed and I have been up to date on maintenance of the vehicle. What can I do to get some kind of assistance?
All types of lights popped up such as emissions system problem Tire pressure monitoring Brake system problem Vehicle stability Electric power Hill start Acc Collision mitigation Road departure mitigation
My car has been sending several warnings including: Brake System: Electric Parking Brake System Problem, Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Supplemental Restraint System Problem, and Power Steering Reduction Problem. My car is not even 100,000 miles yet. I have had all maintenance done on time and recently had brakes replaced. I have changed my battery and tires twice within the 6 years of owning the car. It seems this is a regular complaint for such low mileage. I was a Toyota person but switched to Honda for their safety performance, and now I am regretting that. I read that this is the Turbo needing to be changed. This part should be recalled if it is failing soon. A person who just bought a car should not be paying $4500 in repairs already. I had the Fuel Pump recall replacement done, and had the brakes done. I am changing the spark plugs and ignition coils next week. Honda needs to do something about this and I am looking to join in the class action suit against them, if they do not correct the issue.
2019 Honda Accord 1.5L turbo has confirmed cracked head gasket at 94,000 miles verified by certified mechanic. No prior warning light indicator. Car began misfiring and jerking while driving and was unable to accelerate. Took several weeks before the dash displayed any warning light indicator. After doing research, we were made aware there is a class action lawsuit against Honda Motor Company for this being a known issue in 2018-2022 Accords and it was never disclosed or addressed properly by Honda. This is a major safety concern as the car can shut off while driving, jerk, shake and lack acceleration.
When the car is in reverse the reverse camera displays what looks like high contrast has been applied. It has a rainbow colors and the picture gets very distorted, especially when its night time or when the camera is facing the sun. It's extremely difficult to see pedestrians or oncoming cars.
The lights on my car have been displaying on and off for two years. I keep being told that it is a battery issue, I replace the battery and months later all of my car lights are back on. The car drives hard, and stalls. Very unsafe.
All warning lights turn on on the dash board. I replaced the battery, airbag module, and ABS module and I'm still having the same issue
The vehicle displayed engine warning message “Emission System Problem” at 70,000 miles and this appears to be present in many vehicles of this edition.
My 2019 Honda Accord suddenly stopped when I was driving on a major roadway without warning. All of the warning lights came on. The mechanic says it’s related to the fuel pump .
Took my accord into service due to engine light warning, vibration on start up and to get the recall fixed. Was informed that my head gasket was misfiring and needed to be replaced, and was quoted $4515.37. The vehicle had been well maintained and low mileage at 72,000. This seems to be an issue with the 1.5 Turbo from 2018 to 2022 based on the online research. I decided to trade my vehicle in for a new one, but received $3500 less on trade in due to the bad head gasket. I'm also concerned about the safety hazard this could potentially have been. My daughter has a 2020 accord.
At 98,000 miles, the head gasket is blown. From a safety concern, the car goes into LIMP mode while driving and had to swerve out of traffic. A Honda Certified Dealer Service center confirmed the Blown head gasket It was only inspected by Honda Mechanics. The threw a service engine soon warning lamp which disabled the engine. This happened a few times while driving before getting it diagnosed.
Lights go crazy in dashboard apparently due to constan cylinder misfires, spark plugs changed, same issue, fuel injectors and coils changed, same happened keep it getting fix and the problem persist, making the car dangerous to drive, since it loses power since the car it’s not able to respond and work as it should be Having engine, steering and brake issues, problem has been confirmed by dealer. It hasn’t been inspected by manufacturer. The lost of power and acceleration it’s probably one of the symptoms before all the light go on again. It’s been several times that this happens and I know for a fact that many people are experiencing this issues due to turbo or head gasket failure. Might get that inspected soon.
Steering wheel can not turn steering wheel anymore
