2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING AND WITH REPLACING BATTERIES. IN FIVE YEARS, I HAVE HAD 4 BATTERIES. SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS RIGHT AWAY, SOME TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL TRY'S, TAKE A BREAK AND TRY AGAIN. FRUSTRATING IS REALLY AN UNDERSTATEMENT. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT WORK, IN PARKING LOTS AND IN MY GARAGE. I KEEP MY CAR SERVICED. I JUST TOOK IT IN JULY 3 FOR OIL CHANGE. THE TIME BEFORE, AFTER THE CHECKED MY TIRES IN THE DRIVE IN BAY, THEY ASKED ME IF I ALWAYS HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME STARTING MY CAR, I TOLD THEM YES, AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK. OF COURSE THEY FOUND NOTHING. MAYBE NOW THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, MAYBE THEY WILL FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENING. THE FEAR OF GETTING STRANDED AT NIGHT AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT ACROSS THE BRIDGE OR IN THE DEAD OF WINTER IS UNSAFE AND UNSETTLING. I NOTED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR ISSUES IN THIS FORUM, I WOULD THINK HONDA WOULD FIND A FIX FOR THE TRULY OBVIOUS PROBLEM. THIS WAS MY THIRD HONDA, MORE THAN LIKELY , MY LAST. JUST TODAY, I GOT INTO THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE, GOT IN THE CAR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES LATER AND IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. I LEFT THERE AND WENT TO GET GAS. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR, TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND I GOT NOTHING. I LITERALLY SAT AT THE SERVICE STATION FOR 15 MINUTES, TRYING TO START MY CAR. JUST AS I WAS READY TO CALL FOR A TOW, IT STARTED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THE CAR WENT ON FIRE; THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY BURNT. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, IT STARTED SMOKING UP UNDER THE HOOD, I PULLED OVER, AND AS I OPENED THE HOOD IT WAS FLAMING. NOW I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR IT AS I AM STILL PAYING THE CAR NOTE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT EVEN HAPPENED. *TR

MY CAR WON'T START ON THE FIRST TIME I TURN THE KEY. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY MAYBE 3-4 TIMES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT COULD BE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM. IT MAY BE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.

I WAS ABOUT TO PARK MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD LX IN A PARKING SPOT IN PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF A SHOPPING CENTRE. THE CAR WAS CRUISING AT 2-3 MILES PER HOUR AT THIS TIME. THERE WAS A SUDDEN AND RAPID ACCELERATION WHICH WAS HIGHLY DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE SLOW SPEED WHILE I WAS ENTERING THE PARKING SPOT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT IT DIDN'T HELP STOP OR SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD WITH THE SAME RAPID ACCELERATION IN THE EMPTY PARKING SPOT IN FRONT AND STARTED MOVING TOWARDS THE NEXT PARKING ROW IN FRONT. I SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT ON TO THE ROAD BETWEEN THE TWO PARKING ROWS IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE CARS IN THE NEXT ROW. THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING WITH RAPID ACCELERATION. I TRIED APPLYING BRAKES HARD BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I BRUSHED THE BUMPER OF ANOTHER CAR IN THE PROCESS. I FINALLY HIT ANOTHER CAR PARKED NEAR A CURB AT THE END OF THE PARKING LOT. THE IMPACT WAS SO HIGH THAT THE OTHER CAR SWUNG 90 DEGREES. MY CAR STOPPED AFTER GETTING STUCK ON THE CURB AND WEDGED AGAINST THE OTHER CAR. THE AIRBAGS EXPLODED DUE TO THE HUGE IMPACT. I SURVIVED THE ACCIDENT WITH BRUISES AND BUMPS ON MY HANDS, KNEES, AND FEET. FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER PERSON IN THE PARKING LOT WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. ACCIDENT DATE AND TIME: JUNE 25, 2020 5:15 PM EASTERN. LOCATION: PARKING LOT OF NORTH TOWN PLAZA, 2856 DEKALB PIKE, NORRISTOWN, PA POLICE REPORT # EAST NORRITON, PA TOWNSHIP, REPORT NUMBER # 2020-0638219401 THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE FOLLOWING LOCATION BY POLICE WITH MY CONSENT: CENTERSQUAREMOTORS 911 DEKALB PIKE BLUE BELL, PA 19422 (610) 277 2929 INSURER: STATE FARM

STARTED CAR, DROVE ON HIGHWAY 20 MILES. PARKED CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND. TRIED TO START CAR 5 MINS LATER; LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH BUT CAR WOULD NOT START. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES, FINALLY WAS SUCCESSFUL STARTING CAR AND CONTINUED DRIVE TO WORK. DROVE TO MADISON HONDA, RT 24, MADISON, NJ. ADVISED THEM OF ISSUE WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING. THEY EXAMINED CAR AND CAME BACK 45 MINS LATER SAYING ALL SYSTEMS (BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR) WERE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. NO ISSUES FOUND. THEY COULD NOT REPEAT MY PROBLEM SO DISREGARDED IT. DROVE LAST 10 MINS TO MY OFFICE. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, TRIED TO START CAR, WOULD NOT CRANK. TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, STILL NOTHING. I FELT STRANDED AT THIS LOCATION WITH NO MEANS OF GETTING HOME. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. EVERY MORNING SINCE THIS BEGAN IT'S THE SAME THING. THE CAR IS UNRELIABLE. YESTERDAY HAD TO TRY A HANDFUL OF TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED. TODAY I TRIED TO START THE CAR FOR 25 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS SUCCESSFUL. DROVE TO MY MEETING AND LATER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR AGAIN. PROBLEM IS QUICKLY AND PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE.THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE EARLY 2015. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN CARE OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I NEVER KNOW IF AND WHEN IT WILL START AGAIN! I'M WORRIED ABOUT WHEN IT WILL STOP STARTING AT ALL! AND WHERE I'LL BE WHEN IT COMPLETELY FAILS! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! WHAT ABOUT TSB 16-002? A DESIGN ISSUE THAT IS GOING UNNOTICED AND UNADDRESSED? WHY IS HONDA NOT RESPONDING TO THESE COMPLAINTS? BECAUSE OF HONDA'S LACK OF CONSIDERATION AND THE CAR'S UNRELIABILITY, I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER HONDA!!! PLEASE HELP! *TR

HELLO THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE YESTERDAY AND TODAY WILL NOT START. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE . IT MAKES CLICKING BUT REFUSES TO START. I HAD IT CHECKED AT NTB COULD NOR FIND ANY ISSUES WITH BATTERY. I AM NOW LOOKING INTO BUYING A $400 PART + LABOR TO REPLACE A STARTER ON A LESS THAN 70000 CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. THIS BRAND HAS AN ISSUE AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 HONDA ACCORD SPORT. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY TWICE NOW. UNTIL ABOUT 3 - 4 WEEKS AGO, MY CAR WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL MY IGNITION WOULDN'T START WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. BUT EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IN THE VEHICLE WORKS FINE. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY DOZENS OF TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTS. NOW IT GOT SO WORST THAT IT TAKES 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO START THE VEHICLE THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTS LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. DID A SEARCH ON VARIOUS HONDA FORUMS AND APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE MODEL.
