Owner's description
On 9/1/22, 8,600 miles after losing all power on the interstate, being stranded and having the car towed to the nearest dealer, paying for the tow, spending 2-nights in a hotel, renting a car to get home and having both the high pressure and low pressure fuel pumps replaced, my 2022 Honda Accord had yet another problem. After starting the car in a parking lot, 8-warning lights flashed and 9-12 warning messages were displayed. Since a very familiar situation happened 8,600 miles ago, I was very hesitant to drive anywhere, however, in the situation before, the car would not accelerate. In this instance, it would. I drove 10-miles to the nearest Honda dealer avoiding interstates. The dealer did a quick computer scan. The fault code (among others) was a P0172, "Fuel Mixture Too Rich". The tech said the problem is most likely fuel injector related. He assured me that it would be safe to drive another 30-miles to a dealer closer to my residence. I made it to the dealer safely and it turns out that the fuel injectors need replacing. Total cost will be $1,800. Could the fuel pump issues damaged the injectors? As mentioned in my prior complaint, what good are warning lights when 8-illuminate at once. What good are safety messages when they all tell you to see a dealer? How are owners supposed to understand the gravity of a malfunction?
