Fuel delivery is starved as if the fuel pump is failing causing a delay in acceleration
Bomba fuel rail pressure too low tiene recall???? Se dao Honda Accord sport 2017 4 cil
Driving and vehicle started slowing and jerking and all lights came on...happened again 2-3 days later then again the following week. Took vehicle to Honda and was advised the fuel pump/system had to be replaced.
I drove my car on 95 and for some reason im hitting the accelerate and it was going slower then fast I had to pull over and turn off car and turn it back on
I purchased a used 2017 Honda Accord coupe with a v6 engine in may 2020. It has always slightly hesitated and stalled during all speeds of acceleration. Most notable from a stop, or very slightly trying to accelerate.

Owners who gave an odometer reading reported it at a median of 45,000 miles; half of them between 33,000 and 85,000. That is when reports cluster, not the life of a part.
What does NHTSA's "Fuel/Propulsion System" heading cover?
Fuel tanks, lines, pumps and injection — and on an EV, the propulsion battery and motors. Owners choose the heading when they file, so it says which area of the vehicle the complaint is about, not which part failed.
