The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway and the vehicle was towed by a family member to the contact's residence. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic, and it was determined that the pump kit had failed and needed to be replaced.

While driving my 2019 Honda Accord at approximately 65 mph on the highway, the car suddenly lost power, went into limp mode, and the steering wheel locked up. I was unable to turn or control the vehicle, which resulted in another car crashing into me. I sustained injuries in the accident and required medical attention. The incident was extremely dangerous and could have been fatal. After being towed to Russell & Smith Honda, they confirmed a blown head gasket was the cause of the failure. This issue is already the subject of a class-action lawsuit due to known design flaws in the 1.5T engine. Honda only offered partial assistance, leaving me responsible for thousands in repair costs. This vehicle is unsafe and needs to be investigated immediately.

At approximately 16:08 EST on Jan 1, 2022 I was traveling westbound on I-76 at mile marker 146.9 WB (40 02'03.0"N 78 29'50.0"W) in the center lane on a straight section of road at approximately 70mph.

I went into the left lane, and struck the center concrete barrier, causing the airbags to deploy and the car to come to rest in the left lane. …
