Vehicle stalled while travelling. I suspect this is a problem of the high pressure fuel pump gathering particulates and not working as proper. There is a similar recall regarding the V6 models of my vehicle, however, the 4 cylinder models were left unaddressed.

Around [XXX] on [XXX], I was driving my 2017 Honda Accord LX on [XXX] East in northwestern New Jersey. The first signs of trouble were multiple warning lights (Check Engine and many others) appearing suddenly on the dashboard. There was a total loss of engine power and the tachometer dial dropped abruptly to zero. As I applied the brakes to slow down and move onto the shoulder of the highway, I realized that I also had no power brakes or steering. When the car was nearly stopped on the shoulder, I saw smoke filling the cabin and flames coming from under the engine hood toward the windshield. We quickly exited the car and called 911. The State Police and Fire Department arrived on the scene within 10 minutes but by that time the fire had spread to the interior cabin. The car was inspected by insurance representatives and declared a total loss. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On 12-7-2023 I was driving home from work and all of a sudden my car started sputtering and slowing down until it stopped completely in heavy evening traffic. It would not restart so I had it towed. I had a mechanic check it out and he said it was the fuel pump.

Vehicle ABS malfunctioning making some dashboard lights come on. A bunch of random codes in the readers makes it hard to identify the issue. Codes are not specific and a bunch of other components need to be tested/replaced before realizing the actual main issue causing the owner spend a ridiculous amount of money and time. Only dissappear if ABS module is replaced which is hard to find(up to two years of wait) unless bought used which also comes with the same risk of failing prematurely. This problem messes up with the vehicle traction in raw weather conditions, as well as braking, steering, and overall safety of the occupants.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle delayed starting. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 15-20 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle started stalling while parking in the driveway. The contact was able to park the vehicle. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH with the hazard lights, the vehicle was stalling. The contact pulled to the side of the road. The contact then drove to an independent mechanic at slow speeds. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the fuel rail pressure was significantly low. The mechanic determined that the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at the contact's expense. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V060000 (Fuel System, Other). The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 49,631.
