I had a major failure of my 2012 Accord 2.2 LX when on a motorway journey last Friday. The problem started with a strange whining sound and while attempting to pull in to check it out, the engine cut out and would not re-start. After the tow-truck dropped us to a Honda dealer it was decided to check the high pressure fuel pump at which point they found metal filings in the fuel. The suggestion is that the fuel I bought 80kms before the problem was the cause. My question is therefore has anybody ever suffered a catastrophic failure as a result of bad fuel? As the repair could costs thousands there is a strong possibility that the finger of blame will pointed away from a warranty failure and towards the fuel and consequently it's my intention is to have the fuel independently tested, all of which will likely lead to many weeks without my car.
