“There has been a Honda recall out since December 2023 for Fuel Pump Impellers on 2018-2022 model year Accord 1.5L vehicles, but they still do not have replacement parts. My car is stalling to start in the mornings and I keep getting told to wait 2-3 weeks until they have replacement parts come in. This is taking way too long and I am now at risk of my vehicle not starting.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 1 of 62 reports involved a crash and 2 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.
