   I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX‑L (VIN#: [XXX]).

A dealer quoted $400+ to diagnose and replace what appears to be a common passenger airbag indicator sensor failure, a known issue reported by many 2018 Accord owners. I believe Honda should issue a recall due to the safety risk.…

    During normal driving - clear weather conditions - the car will suddenly activate the forward collision braking. It will literally slam on the brakes and decrease the speed by 10-15 MPH.

There is also an intermittent issue with my seatbelt. Specifically the drivers seat…
