Stalling on other Accord years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Stalling reports are some of the most alarming on the site. The engine quits while the car is moving, sometimes on a highway and sometimes at a stop. Many owners say it restarted right away and the dealer found no stored code, which is part of why these complaints pile up before anything gets fixed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the fuel pump (15 reports) and the battery (11 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the fuel and propulsion cover the 2017 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.
Particulates in fuel may adhere to the internal components of the fuel pump, reducing its performance.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2017 Honda Accord that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) is investigating certain 2017 Accord Hybrids with a customer complaint of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) On with DTC 53-02 (Torque Sensor [Average Check]) stored and/or loss of power steering assist.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 65 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
