While driving home from work in my 2024 Honda Accord EX 1.5T, multiple warning lights suddenly came on on the dashboard. Shortly afterward, I began smelling a strong gasoline/fuel odor inside the passenger compartment. I stopped the vehicle and got out. I could also smell gasoline outside the vehicle. I opened the hood and the gasoline odor was still noticeable from the engine compartment. Because I was concerned about the safety of the vehicle, I went to the nearest O’Reilly Auto Parts and had the vehicle scanned. The diagnostic scan showed P0172 (Fuel System Too Rich, Bank 1), P0300 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire), P0301 (Cylinder 1 Misfire), P0302 (Cylinder 2 Misfire), and P0303 (Cylinder 3 Misfire). The vehicle had approximately 82,063 miles at the time. The gasoline odor inside and outside the vehicle is especially concerning because of the potential risk of a fuel leak and fire. I checked my VIN for recalls and no open recall is currently listed for my vehicle. I am reporting this incident because I believe the fuel odor, rich fuel condition, multiple misfires, and dashboard warning lights may represent a safety-related fuel-system problem that should be investigated.

Clicking and light ticking noise from the electric power steering (EPS) rack when turning the steering wheel, with the vehicle stationary or at low speed. No loss of steering control and no crash or injury. Repair history on this VIN for the same concern: the steering rack and pinion was replaced twice under the first owner (04/08/2024 at 5,566 miles and 05/21/2024 at 8,730 miles). The noise returned. I purchased the vehicle in November 2025. I have taken it in twice more. On Feb 2026, a Honda Field Technical Specialist verified the clicking noise from the EPS rack, found the EPS motor out of adjustment, and performed an adjustment. The noise returned within 2 months and is present now at 33,800 miles. Honda Tech Line Summary Article ATS30025 (March 20, 2026) covers this symptom on 2023 and later Accord, attributes it to insufficient clearance between the steering gearbox motor housing and the steering rack, describes the available procedure as a temporary solution that may not resolve the issue, and states that a permanent countermeasure is still being developed. American Honda has told me no permanent repair exists and would make no commitment beyond a possible future recall. The Accord was not included in recall 24V-744, which covered the steering gearbox on other Honda models. I am reporting this so the agency has data on the same component in the Accord.

Head-on frontal collision occurred while my vehicle was stopped at a stop sign in a parking plaza. Another vehicle turned left and struck the front of my vehicle. The airbags did not deploy despite significant front-end damage and the vehicle being declared a total loss. The vehicle is currently available for inspection at my residence and is scheduled for insurer pickup. Police responded to the scene. The airbag non-deployment raised safety concerns due to the severity of the frontal impact.

The windshield wiper nozzle that dispenses the wiper fluid is poorly designed. The passenger side nozzle shoots >50% of the fluid off my car and onto the guy in the lane to my right. The driver side nozzle barely gets any good cleaning effect on the driver side for the same reason - it shoots far to the right. Not only do I have to use way more fluid than necessary just to clean the windshield from debris or bugs, but I also don't get a *good* clean doing so. I don't feel entirely safe with the current implementation, and believe the system is greatly flawed.
