2018 Honda Accord Transmission Problems

Your transmission is shifting roughly and unpredictably, especially when accelerating or downshifting in lower gears, causing sudden lurching that started at 50,000 miles and has worsened significantly. The transmission sometimes slams hard between gears 2 and 3, making your speed unstable and creating a safety hazard in traffic—your dealer's fluid change didn't resolve the issue. A transmission fluid flush and filter replacement may help, but this likely requires professional transmission diagnostics and possible internal repair or replacement.

Your car's turbocharger and fuel injectors failed simultaneously, causing your engine to enter limp mode without warning while driving on the interstate at high speeds, which caused the car to suddenly slow to almost a stop. You only noticed a blinking check engine light, with no other warning signs beforehand. The issue has already been repaired, but the root cause of the simultaneous failure may need to be investigated to determine if it's a design or manufacturing defect affecting multiple 2018 Honda Accords.

A 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T developed an engine misfire, coolant loss, and reduced acceleration shortly after purchase from a dealership on 01/07/2026 (around 156,000 miles / 15,000).

On February 26, 2025 I was driving my 2018 Honda Accord Sport (118,000 miles) with a 1.5t engine on a 55mph 2 lane roadway at approximately 55mph with 4-5 cars behind me when the engine suddenly went into "limp" mode and quickly decelerated to approximately 25 MPH. I could see the cars behind me suddenly brake to avoid hitting me. I pull off on the shoulder, turned my car off and restarted.

I have a blown head gasket which is a common problem with this vehicle. I have 85k miles. The car started to blow out smoke from the tailpipe which is very heavy.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that one of the tires was punctured by a nail, and after the tire was replaced, the check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an Auto Zone, where it was diagnosed, and determined that there was a misfire in cylinder #2.

As I was driving myself and child on the interstate 65 MPH the vehicle all of a sudden dropped speed and would not accelerate. I drifted the car off the interstate off ramp and pulled into a store parking lot. Luckily, we did not cause an accident or hit anything or anyone.

The head gasket leaked and a piston warped. The symptom was feeling a piston misfire and then the car wouldn't go over 10 miles per hour. Our safety was compromised because we were on a busy (45mph) road and couldn't turn off quickly nor go fast to keep up with traffic.

I am writing regarding my recently purchased used 2018 Honda Accord. The car has low mileage and initially ran well, but it has developed a recurring cylinder misfire problem. When this happens, the car slows down and cannot exceed 20 MPH.

turbo charger split causing engine failure which almost created a serious accident.

The issue first appeared during my initial test drive before purchase in 2019. The salesman stated it was a low-battery issue from the car sitting on the lot. Since then, the same problem has recurred multiple times.

The car loses power. It starts as a misfire on cylinder 2 (P0302 code) and the engine starts to shutdown (or goes into a safe mode with no power). The result is loss of speed which creates a safety hazard especially on highways.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX-L equipped with the 1.5-liter turbo engine. Over time, the vehicle began showing symptoms of coolant loss without any visible leaks, a sweet odor under the hood, and intermittent white smoke from the exhaust after startup. The engine would sometimes idle roughly and hesitate under acceleration.

Upon commuting to work, the car failed to accelerate causing the car to almost suddenly stop while driving; at the same time of the failure warning lights and beeping occurred. No warnings prior to failure. By God’s grace, I was not yet on the expressway and avoided what would have been a horrible accident jeopardizing not only my life but the lives of anyone that would have been behind me.

Car stalled/went into limp mode in the middle of turning onto a busy road almost hit by oncoming traffic. Check engine light came on, as well as all other warnings. Ran diagnostics and show fuel running lean and cyl 2 misfire.

I currently own a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5L 4 cylinder with only 62,800 miles at the start of the issue. Around the end of July 2025 the car started to jerk. It started with a slight jerk and escalated daily, over about a week, until the car started going into limp mode.

I am writing to report a serious mechanical issue with my 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T that I believe may constitute a design or manufacturing defect with potential safety implications. At approximately 112,000 miles, the engine in my vehicle suffered a blown head gasket, which my mechanic determined was caused by a stretched timing chain.

This car had a manufacturer recall for the "fuel pump". I was advised by Honda to go get the car checked by the dealer to evaluate if the issues I was getting were related to the recall. I paid close to $400 to get the car diagnosed and about 3/4 months after that I was told that the part is available for the recall service.

This vehicle was built terrible. It had a blown head gasket at 86,000 miles. The head was warped.

Cylinder 1 and Cylinder 3 misfire (Cylinder 3 misfired multiple times, even after attempts to fix it), and now I have a blown head gasket.

While waiting for the recalled parts to be in stock for the fuel pump module, my car starting running rough and going into limp mode several times a day. Thus causing near accidents with my children in the vehicle. After getting the fuel pump module recall fixed I asked and had to pay for a diagnostics test to see what was causing the car to do this.

Christmas Tree dashboard with all lights on appeared a few weeks ago. Took car to auto shops twice. First time I was told coil 1 for cylinder 1 was misfiring, replaced with new coil.

Numerous Honda Accord 1.5T have blown head gaskets, numerous complaints of this happening during freeway travel. The car will suddenly go into a "limp mode" and won't let you travel over 20mph. This could cause an accident.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started vibrating violently. The vehicle then lost motive power and was unable to accelerate above 10 MPH.

Fuel pump or injector has malfunctioned. It is has already been inspected by a Honda dealer. Safety at risk because there was a recall on the fuel system of Hondas in 2020.

My car is barely at 78,000 miles and I use premium gas, and get oil changes regularly but my car all of a sudden started having a cylinder 4 misfire. Thought it was just my spark plugs having to be changed, but after changing my car was still running rough and still misfired. There is a manufacturing defect for this model where the turbo is too strong for the engine and factory head gasket.

There has been a series of constant issues with this model and each issue has been brought to a certified Honda dealership and was supposedly "fixed" engine code P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire),P2651 B rocker arm Actuator system, P0087 Fuel Rail/system pressure, P0304,P0303 cylinder 3 and 4 misfire, engine temperature always above normal.

Failing fuel injectors. Stalls vehicle in highway. May cause accident/collision.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that in April of 2021 the vehicle was taken to a dealer for an unknown recall related to the BCM. Months later, the contact parked her vehicle in the driveway and walked around it to retrieve her trash can, when she turned around it was discovered that the vehicle was rolling causing the front to crash into her against the garage wall.

All warning indicator lights came on and I took car to a Certified Auto Mechanic who said it was caused by the fuel pump problems surrounding Honda cars. Said it affected the fuel injectors (mis-fire) and I should take it to Honda dealer for fix. Honda dealer said this VIN of my 2018 Honda is not on the recall.

On 3 separate occasions my Honda Accord 1.5T has lost power while driving in traffic. All of the warning lights came on, and I could not go over 10 MPH. Fortunately I was able to turn onto a side street each time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated while the vehicle was in park, when it rolled backwards and crashed into another vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated.

Driving down the highway going 70mph and check engine light starts flashing. Car stops accelerating I limp over to the median. I turn the vehicle off and turn it back on.

The shift from 2nd to 3rd gear under light acceleration is violent and feel like the vehicle was rear ended this happens more frequently in colder temperatures this happens when starting from a stop or a rolling stop.

Two separate issues: 1) with only 2,400 miles on the accord, on october 7, 2018 it suddenly lost power 2 or 3 times over a 60-mile stretch of the busy 405 freeway, each time slowing from 65 MPH to approximately 30 MPH or less despite maintaining even pressure on the accelerator. The car did not respond to pressure on the gas pedal. No cruise control was used at any time.

The shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, under certain conditions, is so unsafely violent that it feels like the vehicle has been rear ended. The condition occurs while accelerating at a mild pace and when the vehicle has yet to warm up. The condition is present in both econ and normal drive modes.

I was driving straight down a residential street, accelerating and the braking system automatically stopped the vehicle and the transmission automatically went into neutral. The car motor was still running but the car was inoperable. The gearshift indicated the car to be in drive but would not accelerate.

Your engine's head gasket failed at 58,000 miles without any overheating warning, and your car suddenly went into limp mode (severely limited performance) while turning onto a highway at 55 mph with no warning lights beforehand. You experienced a brief misfire before this happened, and the dealership reports multiple 2018 Accord 1.5L models are experiencing similar head gasket failures. Additionally, your fuel injector completely failed after the head gasket was repaired and also needs replacement.

After your Honda serviced your vehicle and flushed the coolant, your car started running sluggishly and displaying warning lights for emissions, brake system, hill assist, and power steering failures. The dealership diagnosed a coolant leak from a failed head gasket, requiring a $4,800 repair. The owner notes this shouldn't happen at 100k miles on a well-maintained vehicle and suspects this may be a widespread issue affecting 2018-2022 Honda Accords.

The vehicle experienced a catastrophic engine malfunction resulting in a no-start condition. The vehicle is currently inoperable and is available for inspection upon request.

My 2018 Honda experienced a catastrophic engine failure (blown head gasket) at only 30,012 miles. A head gasket is not a wear item and should not fail at such low mileage. I previously reported related symptoms during dealer service visits in July 2024 and August 2025, including signs consistent with cooling or engine performance issues, prior to the complete failure.

There are 10 warning lights currently on the dash. This is and has been an ongoing issue for over a year. Turning off the car then turning it back on the lights would go away.

The 1000 miles or so, when trying to increase speed, would feel the gears slip between revolutions. I would let up on the gas pedal then slowly resume pressure, which sometimes worked or sometimes didnt. On April 19th while going up a hill on a side road, the car stalled and transmission warning light came on.

All warning systems triggered, repeatedly, over the past year. Honda dealership misdiagnosed as a fuel injector. Had fuel injector replaced, but same issue occurred and this time all warnings came on and vehicle lost power on highway with my baby daughter inside.

My car ran good up until July 29, 2023. There was a slight tornado and lots of rain when I parked the car it was fine hour later it began to stall and became undriveable. I called my insurance company Progressive and called Honda of Manchester and Progressive had the car towed to Honda.

You lose power while driving than it stalls to about 20 MPH Emmission warning lights come on. After cool down the car will drive normal speed again for a short time before it repeats itself driving 20 MPH with emission warning light coming on. It is a very hazardous condition and dealerships can’t figure anything out.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated that occasionally the vehicle was difficult to start-up. Additionally, while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle would loss motive power and stall without warning.

The car had a strong smell of fuel in cabin when starting on various occassions. The car also temporarily stalled and lost power when coming to a corner turning and also three times when coming off the freeway. The car was always warmed up and in california during the warm weather.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hendrick honda bradenton (5515 14th st w, bradenton, fl 34207) and was not able to be diagnosed due to the warning lights no longer being illuminated.

The vehicle shifts rough around 20-30 miles per hour. Today when I left the grocery store and was driving slowly through the parking lot, it jerked about 4 times before it decided to drive smoothly. However, on occasion, it has shifted so hard that everything fell off my seat and one time I thought it was going to stall in the intersection when I had started up after waiting for a red light.

While driving on I-95s passing through georgia state and in sport mode vehicle lost speed unexpectedly engine light appeared having to stop quickly to the side of the highway. When tried to reintegrate to highway, vehicle speed reached to no more than 40 miles. Vehicle ended it up being towed to jacksonville fl.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. While at a stop light, the vehicle stalled and the transmission and brake warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normally.

I had an event with my turbo hose being loose, dealer tech said must have been loose coming from the factory. Here is the thread. My situation is illustrated with my handle, "mikiwolf".

I own a 2018 Honda Accord and have been experiencing an ongoing issue where multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard at the same time. The lights include several safety and system warnings, making it look like many different systems in the vehicle are malfunctioning simultaneously. I have taken the vehicle to be serviced and attempted to fix the issues that were identified.

All dash lights are on and the Honda dealership told me I have a blown head gasket, need a turbo replacement & fuel pump in which I wasn’t able to drive the car for 7 months at 112,276 miles..This seems like a known issue for this make and model vehicle after 100,000 miles

My Honda is shifting harsh going into 5th gear and sometimes reverse is not available. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they are telling me I need a new transmission to the tune of $9,600. It only has 64,000 miles and the warranty recently expired.

I purchased this 2018 Honda Accord Sport brand new from the dealership, relying on Honda’s longstanding reputation for reliability and longevity. At approximately 120,000 miles, the vehicle suffered a blown head gasket during normal driving conditions. The vehicle has been properly maintained according to Honda’s recommended schedule.

Transmission keeps malfunctioning from 1-2 and 2-3 gear shifts. Mainly prominent on the 2-3 gear shift having issues. Severe transmission jerk and sometimes slams into the next gear.

Honda needs to recall all the newer vehicles starting with 2018 to 2024. All lights on the dashboard is on and while I’m on highway, the car would apply the brake itself and when I released my foot from the pedal, the car run smoothly again. I took the car to Honda dealership last year and I was charged over 1500 dollars, still the car is having the same issue.

I have a 2018 Honda accord 1.5t I have always done oil changes and maintenance accordingly. My car went into limp mode over the summer. I brought it to my dealership who said the head gasket was bad and it was going to cost over 5,000$ to fix.

The head gasket needs replaced because of a faulty design....this is an expensive fix and one I think Honda knows about, but because the fix if almost all labor, they don't care because it is making them a ton of money on repairs. The engine block cooling is designed to cause a head gasket failure with can ruin the engine and even if you catch it, is very expensive to fix.

Coolant leak through the gasket into a cylinder so now I need a new head gasket. When I start my car, it starts to shake and don’t accelerate. I just got my turbo done in April because of the same issues.

After having the fuel pump recall completed on my Honda Accord, I began experiencing serious engine problems that I had not had before the recall repair. Shortly afterward, my vehicle developed a blown head gasket, coolant leaking into the engine, and turbo issues.

Fuel pump recall. Put in an order with Honda dealer January 2024 for the pump. On February 2025 asked if they submitted the order back in January 2024?

All of the lights in the dash came on . We took it to Honda , at first they said it was the coils and spark plugs. I had them replaced , the same thing happened again the computer read that it was misfiring on one of the cylinders .

Scanned for codes. Found P0303, P0299, and P2243 stored. Found coolant entering cylinder 3.

My head gasket is blown. It blown while I was driving down the road, it went into limp mode. I took it to the dealership and got it inspected.

Hi, I would like to address two issues separately for my 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T 6MT; one dealing with the open recall and one dealing with how the vehicle operates dangerously due to poor programming under specific operating conditions. To add, I speak as an engineer working in the automotive space specifically on the design of ADAS and AV systems with ISO26262 and SOTIF in mind.

While taking off from a full stop, the vehicle's transmission shifted violently to the point where it felt as if the car was rear-ended. This is an issue for which I've filed numerous complaints before with NHTSA knowing about the problem by now, and having done nothing to initiate a recall. I have also taken the car to the dealer who failed to properly diagnose the issue.

I was attempting to accelerate on the acceleration ramp to merge into traffic on the interstate, when my vehicle began violently jerking, and suddenly lost all power. My check engine light came on and it went into limp mode. This has happened twice now.

My 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 turbo (original owner) 77,000 miles. Started having numerous warning lights on dash and vehicle was violently shaken. On several occasions, vehicle had no acceleration over 10mph which caused me to have several close calls on the highway.

I got a blown head gasket to cynlinder #3 at under 100k miles. I maintain it regularly as needed by use of the maintenance minder. Never got any indication of engine troubles before.

To whom it may concern, I understand there is an investigation on leaking timing chain/pully cover. My vehicle has this issue. Is it covered by a recall?

I have a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5t Sport. It has 113,000 miles on it. And I took it in for a diagnosis due to an inspection made by Walmart and I was told by the Honda dealership I have a blown head gasket.

Intermittently, the vehicle has a very violent shift at low speed (under 20 miles per hour). In the past, this had been mentioned to the dealer, numerous times, who claimed that the issue is not reproducible.

All warning lights came on and I took the car to get checked out. Head gasket is damaged. Honda dealership has performed all service on vehicle.

The vehicle had a very violent shift (perhaps it was turbo lag related?) at low speed (under 20 miles per hour - typically, this happens in a parking lot or the like as you slowly drive away).

I have been dealing with the check engine light codes p0172c & p219c. Honda inspected my vehicle and said the problem is that my car is running too rich and the fuel injectors are bad but they say I cant really do anything because the fuel injectors are on backorder but really they are discontinued and they are unsure when theyll comeback.

All the systems in the Picture failed.. I noticed my reading lamps don't work and middle brake light stays on dim when these warning lightscome on.... and the car loses power on the road It will slow down like its braking and won't accelerate.

I have had issues with my rear brakes for a long time. I have changed my rear brakes twice since I had the car. Today all my warning lights in the dashboard turned on and won't turn off.

2018 honda accord with 10 speed automatic transmission experienced a very violent upshift at low speeds (taking off from the parking lot). This happens intermittently and, of course, a dealer was not able to diagnose the issue as they only drive the vehicle for, maybe, an hour, while the issue occurs every so many hundreds of miles (can't quite pin down the exact interval).

Purchased in may 2019. Currently < 50,000 miles. All service performed at honda dealership.

Intermittenly (I.e. Every so many hundreds of miles), the vehicle has extremely violent shifts at low speeds (2-20 miles), where upon shifts it almost feels as if the vehicle has been re-ended. Honda has not properly investigated issue as their usual m.o.

While driving on any type of roadway, when changing gears from 1st to 2nd the gears grind and sometimes will not go into gear, though the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

2018 honda accord 2.0t touring with 10-speed automatic transmission, mileage < 1000. Transmission has rough shifting from 2nd into 3rd gear at low rpms/speed (2,000 RPM / < 14mph) feeling like a manual shift car popping the clutch. This can happen when car is cold or warmed up, car is in the northeast with cold or hot weather.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. While driving 40 MPH, the contact heard three beeping noises and the vehicle began to decelerate on its own. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate immediately.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. While driving 55 MPH and attempting to pass another vehicle, various unknown warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle began to hesitate. The contact was able to drive the vehicle back home.

I have experienced a number of issues with the 2018 honda accord sport, related to the engine, transmission, head unit, brake hold system, noise (tire and poor sound insulation) as well other issues which are described in the attached document.

I have a 2018 honda accord 2.0t touring with the 10-speed automatic transmission. The transmission shifts extremely rough from 2-3 gear, 3-4th and downshifting into pretty much any gear. It's been taken to the dealer several times for this issue and nothing has been resolved.

Upon driving on a highway at 60 MPH at night, the accelerator peddle was rapidly depressed to avoid another rapidly oncoming car from the rear of my car. My car stumbled and a blinking check engine light came on. The car then went into an operating mode in which about 80% of the car's power was lost and could only be driven very slowly.

2018 accord touring 2.0 about 1800 miles on it. The car shifts very rough in the first 3-4 gears when the car is cold. Also happens at times when its warmer.

New honda accord 2.0t with 10-speed automatic transmission shifts very rough and slow from 2nd to 3rd gear. This issue has been well documented on honda accord owner forums and acura rdx owner forums (the two vehicles share the same engine and transmission). The vehicle normally shifts hard from 2nd to 3rd, but occasionally it is very slow to engaged 3rd gear and then slams into gear.

My brand new 2018 honda accord 2.0t w/ automatic transmission is having issues. It shifts very roughly sometimes, I notice the problem most when the engine is cold, however it still happens frequently when engine is at normal operating temperatures.

The transmission does not shift correctly on the 10speed it jerks and shutters all the time in first thru 5 th gear the brake booster makes a clicking noise when stopping movin it from drive to park to neutral the transmission shutters when in several gears and bangs you head against the head rest the rear seat leather was bit stitched correctly

I have a cold star grinding noise . It happens always at first start of the day or cold start .the noise is from vtc actuator

The car can't start because of the recall

My car is always having some electrical issue but when I type in my VIN number, no recalls are listed under my VIN number and then for the last couple of days I've been experiencing acceleration problems when I look up a 2018 Honda Accord it is saying that fuel pumps have been an issue, but my VIN number pulls up no information as far as me falling under that recall what are the proper steps to get my car looked at to see if my VIN number Even though it's not populating, any recall falls under the recall

Randomly, my car will start throwing many warning signs when I crank my car. Then it magically disappears after 2 days. Also I drive my car past 40mph and the engine light came on and then I could no longer accelerate.

I was on the highway with moderate traffic. My car would no longer accelerate due to a blown head gasket out of nowhere, I was on the far left lane and had to traverse over 5 lanes in moderate traffic while other drivers on the highway were going 60+ MPH. This is a common issue among Honda Accords with the 1.5 engines.

These Accords are an extreme safety hazzard. Experienced an instant loss of power and without any prior warning signs. Once the issue accured the vehicle was impossible to drive putting the vehicle occupants and everyone on the road at risk.

Engine loss power on and off and start going slow

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. While driving approximately 75 MPH and decelerating to 15 MPH, the vehicle would not immediately accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. It took three to five seconds before the vehicle accelerated properly.

On 2018 honda accords the adaptive cruise control which is standards on all trim levels, does not brake the vehicle to maintain the set speed when going downhill. This is odd since the vehicle will apply brakes to maintain speed if there's a vehicle in front of the car, but on downhills all it will do is make several downshifts to try and maintain the speed.

Engine oil smells strongly of gasoline. This is the same 1.5l turbo gdi engine that has been recalled already in the civic and crv.

Fuel dilution in motor oil. Bought the car new, checked dipstick, oil level is up past the upper line and smells of gas. Sent a sample of motor oil for testing and came back high for fuel % in oil.
