5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2019 Accord's complaint picture is dominated by its automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning system, which draws the most reports by a wide margin. Owners frequently describe the system triggering unexpectedly, braking or alerting with no obstacle present, as well as failing to respond when they felt it should have. Engine complaints are the second major theme, with owners reporting stalling, rough idling, misfires, and warning lights flooding the dash. Several describe the engine entering a reduced-power state that limits the car to very low speeds. The fuel and propulsion system rounds out the top three, with reports of stalling tied to fuel delivery problems, including fuel pump issues that owners say persist even after repair. A recurring detail in engine and fuel complaints is the P0203 and P0303 fault codes, pointing to fuel injector and cylinder-specific misfires.

With Injuries
By System
The 2019 Honda Accord has 6 recalls, the most serious involving a front passenger seat sensor that can misread occupant presence and deploy the airbag incorrectly in a crash, raising the risk of injury.
The fuel system accounts for multiple recalls: the low-pressure fuel pump inside the tank can fail and stall the engine while driving. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why it appears across several campaigns. There is also a front seatbelt buckle concern where a manufacturing flaw in the buckle channel can block the release button and prevent the belt from latching, leaving an occupant unrestrained in a crash. On the electrical side, a software error in the body control module can disrupt communication with other systems and cause intermittent failures in the windshield wipers, defroster, rearview camera, or exterior lighting.
