2019 Honda Accord Complaint Log

I bought this 2019 Honda Accord on June 30th from a company called Greenville Motor Company. July 1st, I took the car to the Honda dealership to get a diagnostic to make sure everything was in good shape. The technician I spoke with did notice the car & stated that it had a problem with the previous owner which was the Injectors. She told me that the light may not come on now but it may come on in the future. After I left the Honda dealership, I went to Greenville Motor Company & showed them the diagnosis I had done at Honda. He said he didn't see anything wrong. On July 2nd, all of my dashboard lights came on. Took it back to Greenville Motor Company, the tech there said I could pick it up July 3rd & drive it over the weekend. (basically he reset the lights so they wouldn't come on for a certain period of time).Within this time period I took it back to the Honda dealer & they told me that I also needed a turbo, they gave me the printout for that as well. Took it to Greenville Motor Company, they agreed that I did. need a turbo. Manager says he ordered turbo. I I don't remember the date I took it back but on July 12th, my dash lights came on again. I took it back to Greenville Motor Company July 14th, July 18th Greenville Motor Company called & said something on top of the turbo wasn't screwed on thats what was triggering the turbo code to show, so he never put on the turbo that he ordered I had it 2 hours & my dash lights came on again.

My family's 2019 Honda Accord with ~80k miles suddenly had all the warnings lights flashing on the dashboard in early July 2025. The initial diagnostic reader showed a Cylinder 3 misfire. After replacing spark plugs, the warning lights returned after one week; at that time, the ignition coil was replaced but the warning lights returned again after one week of driving. The Honda dealership performed further diagnostics and tests, ultimately reporting that the engine needed fuel injectors replaced AND a head gasket. It is important to mention that when we initially called the dealership's service department to make an appointment, the Service representative that answered the phone immediately recognized this issue, saying that it is a well known issue with Accord 1.5 turbo engines. Honda Corporate has stated that the car is outside of the manufacturer's warranty and that there is no recall. Note that there are class action lawsuits in the US on this matter, as well as lots of online traffic of car owners experiencing this issue with the Honda 1.5T engine. It appears that there is a serious design flaw in the engine.

Fuel PUMP FAILED, car stalled and was unresponsive

My vehicle dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree with over $3.1K in repairs only for it to be the fuel pump!

Head gasket issues and car overheated

Blown head gasket on 1.5T engine. It is a common issue that so many owners of this engine have experienced. It was a safety risk because it happened going at 70mph on the highway, the head gasket blew and it limited the power of the engine. Suddenly, acceleration was no longer possible and the vehicle began limping. I had to drive for several miles at a speed of 35mph (the fastest my car could go no matter how much gas you give it) on the shoulder of the road to take the nearest exit and be somewhere safe. The problem has been confirmed by a certified Honda dealership. It The vehicle has been inspected by the Honda dealership. Symptoms that I have not confirmed to be related to the issue are missing coolant without any leaks. I had to refill the coolant without any visible leaks and there were not any leaks found by independent service center.

Head gasket issue Car jerks and may cut off during heavy acceleration

All my warning lights are on. Drives fine but I can’t use cruise control or any safety features. Replaced the module but they said I need it synced with my vin???

Honda Accord 2019 could not start after parked in garage for 6 weeks. Instrument panel showing: 1) Brake Hold System Problem 2) Brake System Problem. Brake Performance May Be Reduced. 3) Electric Parking Brake System Problem. Parking Brake Not Available. 4) Electric Power Steering System Problem. Steering Assist Reduced.

My vehicle had been running fine up until the dash lit up, engine check turned on along with the tire pressure sensor and as of right now my car does not accelerate.

NHTSA Vehicle Safety Complaint Vehicle: 2019 Honda Accord 1.5T Engine: 1.5-liter Turbocharged (L15B7) Mileage at Failure: 88,000 miles Issue: Blown Head Gasket / Coolant Leak / Engine Stalling Summary of the Problem: At approximately 88,000 miles, my 2019 Honda Accord 1.5T began exhibiting signs of a coolant leak and engine performance issues. After diagnosis by a certified mechanic, it was confirmed that the head gasket had failed, causing coolant to leak into the engine. This led to overheating and a dangerous engine stall while I was in active traffic, posing a serious safety risk. Safety Concern: The vehicle stalled unexpectedly in traffic due to the head gasket failure, putting me and surrounding drivers at risk of a crash. A blown head gasket can cause sudden overheating, misfires, and loss of power, all of which jeopardize the safe operation of the vehicle. This occurred without any warning lights or prior symptoms, making it even more dangerous. Repair Cost: The repair for the blown head gasket and associated engine work cost me $3,800 out of pocket, despite the vehicle being well maintained and relatively low mileage for this type of failure. Maintenance & Vehicle History: The car was serviced regularly according to Honda’s recommended schedule. There were no prior signs of overheating or misuse. The stall happened suddenly, requiring the vehicle to be pushed to safety to avoid blocking traffic. Wider Problem Indication: This issue appears to be widespread among 2019–2021 Honda Accords with the 1.5T engine. Many owners report similar head gasket failures, indicating a potential defect in the engine’s design, materials, or thermal management. Requested Action: I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this issue as a safety-related defect, and that Honda be required to issue a recall, extended warranty, or reimbursement program to address these premature and dangerous failures.

My 2019 Honda Accord with the 1.5L turbocharged engine is experiencing serious engine issues, including coolant leaking into the engine cylinder, oil contamination, engine misfiring, and overheating. This is a known issue and the subject of a federal class action lawsuit (Bissell v. Honda, Case No. 3:24-cv-02286). Honda has not issued a recall or repair program for this defect, and I am now out of warranty and facing costly repairs. This is a safety concern and I urge the NHTSA to investigate.

Head gasket blown out at 55k miles

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring an increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. The service power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.

On May 13, 2025, I took my car to the Honda dealership, because all of the lights on the dashboard came on. I was told that the clips on my turbocharger needed to be replaced, and so Honda fixed that $120 (diagnostic fee) $209.99 to fix the issue. I was traveling so they kept the car for a week. I received the car back, and about 2 weeks later, 06/03, the same thing occurred, I was told that the engine air filter needed to be changed, and it caused the lights to go off $32.84. The next day 06/06, the lights went off again. I took my car back to the Honda dealership and they had the car from 06/09 - 09/04. Today they have reached out to say “It took a while to recreate the issue because they are ‘masking each other.’ There is a leak in the head gasket, and the turbocharger is going out.” It would be cheaper to buy a used engine and used turbocharger than to have it rebuilt.” I have spoken with other Honda owners, who have a 2018-2022 Honda accord, that have experience the same issue.

In May of 2025, all the lights on my dash lit up and I began getting notifications about my systems not being available. I took my car to my local Honda dealership and was told that there was an issue with the clips on my turbocharger and they would have to be replaced. I laid $309 + $120 diagnostic to have that tested and fixed. I drove the car for exact two weeks, and the same issue occurred, I returned my car to Honda and they told me my engine air filter needed to be replaced, so I paid for that. The very next day, the same thing happened. I took my car to Honda on 06/09/2025, and they had it for roughly 90 days. In September, I was told that I had a cracked head gasket and my turbocharger was bad. I was quoted $7640.35 to fix this issue. I then began to do research and noticed there was a Facebook group called 2018-2022 Honda Accord - blown head gasket, where many people were having the same issue with their car. Ultimately, it cost $7100 to get my vehicle fixed. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that so many people, living completely different lives, are having the same issue with their 2018-2022 Honda vehicle. This needs to be investigated.

Vehicle was taken to Diagnosed and found turbo Charger for engine acceleration was faulty, spark plugs changed, 4 coils and cam shift sensors2 total. Over $3000 later, the vehicle is still doing the same mention above, including when stopped and acceleration at slow or high speeds vehicle jerks. Only 158,000 miles on a 2019 all fluids have been serviced and changed on time with no leaks.

Stearing Column makes a clicking sound when you move the wheel during stearing

All the lights came on on the car, took it to get looked at they stated it was the turbocharger I spent $2500 to get it replaced and yet all the lights are still on-automatic headlights don’t work and the infotainment system keeps cutting out-like glitching. According to the Honda representative at the dealership, this year model has had alot of issues and several cars in the last month alone have replaced turbochargers and had to come back and get an entire motor! This is highway robbery if the cars themselves weren’t put together correctly from the manufacturer. This needs to be looked into as I’m having to shell out thousands of dollars for a defective car. My [XXX] drives this vehicle and I don’t know what to do as the dealership charges $190 for every diagnostic test and to not have an answer is frustrating. All I’m hearing is several cars this year are horribly made. This needs to be investigated and resolved. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

Every light on my dashboard came on at once. I took it to a Honda dealership for a diagnostic check and they said it was my turbo but every light is still on.

We were sitting at a red light and when accelerating once green a warning appeared on the dash stating the EVAP system was failing and to see dealer. Then more warning appeared stating the following systems were failing, ABS, TPMS, Cruise Control, Driver Assist, Electronic Power Steering. Basically all electronic systems were failing. The car would not accelerate properly. The car would not go over 2500 RPMs making acceleration nearly impossible and the car would lose speed when traveling up a hill. We managed to make it to a school parking lot to safely pull off the road. The car had to be towed to a local mechanic. This all happened with zero warning.

1. Component: The engine head gasket and the combustion system (specifically Cylinder 2). Specifics: A leak-down test confirmed a failure in Cylinder 2, leading to coolant intrusion. This was initially masked by a water pump code, but after the water pump was replaced and the code returned, a borescope confirmed "clean" pistons (steam-cleaned by coolant) and tap scarring. Availability: Yes, the vehicle and all diagnostic records are available for inspection. 2. Emergency Maneuvers: On multiple occasions, the car entered "Limp Mode" while driving 70–75 mph on the freeway. This caused a sudden, dangerous drop in speed, forcing me to maneuver through high-speed traffic to reach the median/suicide lane. Stranded: The vehicle overheated 5 times in one trip, leaving me vulnerable on the side of a busy freeway. 3. Yes. An independent shop confirmed the failure via a leak-down test, a borescope inspection, and physical analysis of the spark plugs. They confirmed that despite the computer throwing a water pump code, the mechanical failure is the head gasket. 4.Status: It has been inspected by an independent service center. I am now using their findings to pursue a lawsuit/claim against Honda for selling a vehicle with a pre-existing internal engine defect. 5. Timeline: Symptoms began in April 2024 (two months after purchase). Initial Signs: An "Emission System" warning light appeared. The diagnostic code indicated a water pump failure, which was replaced in April. Recurring Symptoms: In November, the car suffered multiple misfires and "Limp Mode." In March, the "Emission System" light and the same water pump code returned, but the shop confirmed the pump was functional and the true cause was the head gasket leak into the cylinders.

All WARNING lights have turned on my dash. Ive done research and this is happening a lot of people that own 2018-2020 honda accord 1.5L.

The motor to the lock in the gas tank makes a very loud sound and doesn’t appear to work properly

The automatic braking system will alert/engage when going down hills, despite there being no traffic in the road. The blindsplot warning will also alert when there is no traffic.

Out of thousands of 2019 owners, my head gasket has blown. This isn’t right.

Hi. All the warning lights came on one morning. Looking online many people are have the same issue.

Christmas Tree Dashboard

While driving my 2019 Honda Accord at approximately 65 mph on the highway, the car suddenly lost power, went into limp mode, and the steering wheel locked up. I was unable to turn or control the vehicle, which resulted in another car crashing into me. I sustained injuries in the accident and required medical attention. The incident was extremely dangerous and could have been fatal. After being towed to Russell & Smith Honda, they confirmed a blown head gasket was the cause of the failure. This issue is already the subject of a class-action lawsuit due to known design flaws in the 1.5T engine. Honda only offered partial assistance, leaving me responsible for thousands in repair costs. This vehicle is unsafe and needs to be investigated immediately.

1. Headgasket, fuel injectors, and fuel pump failed on this vehicle. Upon inspection Gwinnett Place Honda responded that this was a very common problem and that they see upwards of hundreds of cars per month equipped with the 1.5 liter turbo charged engine. 2. This affected my safety because during the whole ordeal my car went into a “limp mode” while doing 80mph down a busy highway causing me to rapidly lose speed and most cause a major accident. Unable to get off the road way due to my car shutting off I needed to have bystanders block a lane and push the vehicle off. 3.Yes it has been reproduced by both a Honda dealership and an independent service center 4.Honda stated that they wanted to swap the motor so they could send it to the manufacturer to have it studied, however in return I would be getting a motor with 90,000 miles while having to pay $12,000.00 out of pocket. 5.The car was showing a “Christmas tree” dash with every light on ranging from check engine, power steering, abs, lane mitigation, and climate control. On early mornings the car would have a misfire on startup due to the fuel injectors and during the day it would lose coolant however NOT leak it out.

Check engine light down to my cruise control not working. as I drive it’s stalling and jerking. I went to the dealership to have my spark plugs and my fuel injectors replace and it started back doing the same thing. Spent thousands just to be going through the same exact thing.

Identical paint peeling of the roof as Service Bulletin 21-087 from Honda. I also have peeling with both front fenders.

I’ve had 2 readings one from Honda and one from a different mechanic shop. One reads bad fuel injectors from the mechanic shop and the other from the Honda dealership reads bad turbo. All lights on my dash board. I didn’t have any lights on before my fuel pump was replaced due to that recall and now my dash board looks like Christmas lights.

I was driving on the freeway going around 50 MPH and out of nowhere the car slammed on brakes so hard that it slammed me in my seat. No cars were in front or behind me. So there were no accidents that occurred from this incident. But it certainly did scare me.

Infotainment system is not able to connect to any devices will not update system and Bluetooth will not stay on

Car failed to start and all warning lights on dash were present. To restart the vehicle, the battery was disconnected and reconnected. As a result, the 2019 Honda Accord was taken to the dealership for repair. Upon inspection by the dealership the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The recall part is still unavailable.

ON THREE OCCAISIONS, THE DRIVER SAFETY ASSIST SYSTEM SHUT OFF. EACH TIME THERE WERE NO OBSTRUCTION IN RADAR AND THE DAY WAS NOT A HOT DAY. THE AUTO ASSIT CRUISE CONTROL SHUT DOWN TO. SHUTTING THE CAR OFF SEEMED TO RESET. I WAS UNAWARE BY PRESSING THE MAIN SWITH ON STEERING WHEEL WILL RESET THE SYSTEM. BUT AS I SAID TURNING OFF THE VEHILCE SEEMS TO RESET. I CHECKED LANE DEPARTURE BUT IT AFFECTED ALL SAFE DRIVING SYSTEMS. YOUR SYSTEM WOULD ONLY ALLOW ME TO CHECK ONE BOX IT WOULD NOT LET ME CHECK.

Intermittent “SRS problem see dealer” displays on console. Have not taken it to dealer as forums indicate it’s a common issue but not covered by any warranty.

See attached document for complaint

I was driving down the interstate and all of a sudden all the lights in the dash board came on. My Vehicle began to slow down on the interstate in a lot of traffic.
