We were driving our 2016 Honda Accord LX down the highway and our vehicle started sputtering, causing us to swerve and gain control/slow down rapidly. The car could no longer accelerate to high speeds (could only go about 35 MPH), and a bunch of engine lights came on the dash. Upon taking it to a Honda dealer, they diagnosed the problem with the high-pressure fuel pump.

I have taken my car to two mechanics and both have diagnosed my car and advised me that my hign pressure fuel pump is defective and needs replacing. I only have 28,000 miles on my vehicle and should not be experiencing a defective hign pressure fuel pump at such low mileage. The car has a hard time starting and stalls when I am driving it on the highway and will not exceed 60 miles per hour speed.

I needed to change fuel pump and my fuel system cleaned because my car was stalling and not responding to acceleration on the road but respond when I didn't even accelerate which was very dangerous. I did see honda recalled v6 models but they should recall v4 models too as it can cause serious accidents.

I was driving on the highway when all of the sudden my vehicle started stalling, then it simply lost all force and would not go. I had to get the vehicle towed and upon inspection it resulted with a defective fuel pump that needs to be replaced. The venice is not that old to have that kind of issue, and a co-worker of mine had the same issue with their vehicle which is also a 2016 honda accord.

After I did some research I believe the fuel pump of this vehicle constantly failed. The vehicle takes much longer to start up, sometimes it take couple of try to get it started, and, it also caused engine to stall and lose power during the drive or backing up.

Re: NHTSA recall id 19v060; this recall appears to only impact v6 honda accords, however, I feel it should be expanded to four-cylinder as well. I have noticed my car almost stall-out on several occasions since ownership. My car has about 57k miles on it, it had 6k when I purchased it certified pre-owned.
