2018 HONDA ACCORD — Complaint #2055840
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:ELECTRICAL filed January 14, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2055840 (ODI reference 11635929) concerns a 2018 HONDA ACCORD and was filed on January 14, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 14, 2023. The vehicle had 60,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:electrical, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ACCORD cohort independently describe similar parking brake:electrical failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 HONDA ACCORD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the message "Electric Parking Brake System" displayed on the instrument panel. In addition, on several occasions, the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired before for the brake circuit and a parking sensor prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the same local dealer where it was diagnosed with a possible sensor failure; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The VIN was not available.
