2018 HONDA ACCORD — Complaint #2077958
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER filed March 27, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2077958 (ODI reference 11651165) concerns a 2018 HONDA ACCORD and was filed on March 27, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 27, 2025. The vehicle had 142,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:gasoline:turbo/supercharger, 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. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
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 engine and engine cooling:engine:gasoline:turbo/supercharger 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 that while driving 25 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the turbocharger was not producing the expected boost pressure. The contact was informed that the OBD was reset, and that the vehicle needed to be taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired, and the unknown warning lights were again illuminated on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 142,000.
