2018 Accord 1.5T P0172 Fuel Injectors Need Replacement 58K

[@devaughn131]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Omfg, your video and comments there after saved my pockets, I have been dealing with these warnings on and off since last summer, I waited until the dash board lit up again and I went to an auto zone to get a scan got the same error code. I know how these dealers could be messed up so I called Honda care and asked them about my warrantee, they told me I was covered, called the dealership and made the appointment. As soon as I got there they told me I had to change all the injectors and all sorts of other shit I smiled and said 4 words “it’s covered by warantee”. Their smile disappeared, lol, I also got a loaner for the time they were working on my vehicle. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

[@noobwow2009]

Don’t forget to use 91 gas … Honda said 87 gas is fine but accord and CRV 1.5 T has higher boost @19psi, which might cause early head gasket injector failure. It must have a little knock for a sec which cause issues overtime😅

It has direct port injectors spray on top of the piston other honda spary in the intake manifold thats why old hondas don't have that problem.

[@diytwoincollege7079]

Damn! One year later and my 2019 Accord has the same problem. Unfortunately I’m over 100k so the extended warranty wouldn’t have helped. My 2007 Accord went 270k with the only issue being the catalytic.

[@jaydelahunt4085]

My 2018 accord is at the dealer right now for that same problem. I did not get the extended warranty. Hey its a Honda right... It was my thinking. I had a 2003 Accord and when I sold it at 205000 only thing that did not work was the CD player. This really needs to be part of the recall. I would certainly help Hondas rep in my opinion. So disappointed.

[@johnnymade8426]

That's exactly what I've been saying. Now the 10th & 11th gen Accords have the same base engine. If we're changing fuel injectors at 50K on the regular at $1500-$2K, aside for other repairs that will be due as expected then Hondas are no longer on my list of quality cars.

Luckily, the check engine light went away and I took it right to a dealership and bought my dream car, a 2022 pickup.

Honda called me after 2 months and said my claim was denied. I was certain that was going to happen based on how many times I called with no reply. I went to a shop I trust and had them replaced for $1300. I figured this will be less money going to Honda. I read a lot and watched a lot of videos about these engines and my conclusion is to stay away if you can. Recurring premature failure of fuel injectors, oil dilution, and turbo failure highly likely under 100K. There's a reason why the #1 seller the Camry is still making a non-turbo engines.

Same here. I know this is a year after but what did you end up doing?

[@jasonlecreux1175]

The injectors are only an issue in the GDI engines. There is no “bad batch” of injectors. Most injector issues seen are in cars that either sit for extended periods of time, or when they do move they don’t see above 2k rpm. It’s a GDI, meaning those injectors are pumping out 3k psi into the engine, they are going to carbon up if it’s not driven. Cleaning them has never helped. It just costs you extra money and then another angry visit down the road when we know it wasn’t going to help. At times Honda would good will parts for those just outside of warranty for those that kept up with their services. Also as far as the brake fluid, it’s not out of touch. Service interval is every 3 years, on a time based interval. DOT 3 brake fluid is very hydroscopic, meaning it sucks moisture out of the air, and having moisture in your brake fluid will eventually cause calipers to to seize prematurely and can make your steel brake lines rust/have your flex hoses deteriorate. These are preventative maintenance services. This video to me seems as though you’re mad that you didn’t buy the extended warranty and are taking it out on the dealership, IMO.

[@johnnymade8426]

Sorry you're going through the same problem. I'm am apologizing because Honda won't!!! As you can see the comments are to change them yourself or have a friend do them I recall the dealer gave me a $800 quote for parts only. But if that option is not for you then a reputable shop might do it for $1100-$1300, and dealer wants $1600+. Make sure you keep the receipt so you don't have to worry for 12k/12months but after that pray you got a good set of injectors as this part seems to need replacement like brakes every 50k due to the bad design/poor quality control at HONDA.

[@snooopdoggjoe1701]

I have the same problem with my car it's in the shop right now they told me that it was mis firing and the spark plugs needed to be replaced I had them to do that it cost me $550.00 I went to pick up the car the idiot lights were still coming on I never even drove the car I walked back to the shop and told them the repair man said that he had drove the car and tested it but it's still not working.

Honestly I think Honda squeezed the 1.5T too hard. Accord and CRV has 19psi vs Civic 16psi. I see accord and CRV got more issue on KZbin. Injector, head gasket, oil dilution 😅 there is a Honda tech guy stated to use 91 gas on these engines to avoid problems…

[@johnnymade8426]

Yes!! Thanks for the great comment. Too much boost for the quality of the parts. Premium gas was always recommended back in the day for turbo engines but why did the Honda Corp print that it was ok to use regular with this engine... was it deceptive? Also I can't put all the blame on Honda but this squeezing this much fuel economy smells like regulations. Lastly from the comments that I've read it seems that those in CA are getting the injectors replaced for free up to 150K as they are part of clean air emissions so either CA Accords are more expensive or the rest of us are subsidizing CA owners repairs.. but not 100% sure on this one.

[@jeretso]

Civic is a smaller car. Accord is 450+ pounds heavier than a civic . Accord has more room for bigger passengers and luggage. So 1.5T has to work harder. Another youtuber recommended driving gently on eco mode, premium fuel and warming up.
