Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2019 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 2018-2020 Accords with a customer complaint of the red BRAKE warning light on with the DTC C1120-14 (Electric Parking Brake Switch Circuit Malfunction) stored or in active fault.
What owners wrote
“Every single dash warning light is showing up on my car and I've had it looked at and claimed to be fixed but it has popped back up and I'm unaware of the problem and it's been this way since I've bought my car and I've read online a few others have had this problem”

“Emergency braking did not engage when coming up to a stopped car. Nor any of the warning lights or warning sound came on.”
Filed May 29, 2023
“Brake light warning comes and with nothing in front or near me and on occasion it engages the brakes. Also the lane keep assist also goes off when Iâm in the middle of a lane and going straight. I have had various electrical problems like this since week one of getting the car, and the dealer or Honda can never explain any of this”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 27 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. 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.
