“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?”
NHTSA complaint #11327777, filed 2020-06, 139,000 miles“Came to stop at stop sign. New Honda Accord 2013 4 door suddenly tried to accelerate. I pushed down as hard as I could on the brake to stop the motion forward. It only moved a foot or two and with my wife yelling I was able to get it into neutral. Scared the life out of us. I am 51 and a financial professional. My wife is 52 and a physician. This was completely real.”
