2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY 2015 ACCORD HAS APPROX 62,000 MILES, I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND IT HAS BEEN 100% MAINTAINED PRECISELY TO ALL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES BY SCOTT HONDA OF WEST CHESTER PA SINCE NEW. FOLLOWING A DISSATISFACTORY SERVICE VISIT TO SCOTT HONDA, I OPENED HOOD TO PERFORM MINOR FLUIDS CHECK, AND OBSERVED ALARMING CORROSION OF BATTERY TERMINALS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS LEVEL OF ACCUMULATION OF CORROSION ON BATTERY TERMINALS FOR ANY VEHICLE IN MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I DISCONNECTED, CAREFULLY INSPECTED AND CLEANED BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE TERMINALS AND HARDWARE. THE POSITIVE CABLE FITTING IS DISINTEGRATED AND NEARLY THE THICKNESS REMAINING EQUIVALENT TO A PIECE OF "ALUMINUM FOIL". REMOVING THE FINISHING TAPE OF POSITIVE HARNESS REVEALS HEAVY GREEN/BLUE CORROSION BEYOND BATTERY FITTING AND CABLE SWAGE. ALSO OBSERVED HEAVILY CORRODED NEGATIVE BATTERY CONNECTION BEHIND DRIVER-SIDE WHEEL. NEGATIVE TERMINALS AND CONNECTIONS ARE ALSO CORRODED AT BATTERY AND BATTERY SENSOR. BATTERY SENSOR WAS SERVICED IMMEDIATELY UPON RECALL NOTICE BY SCOTT HONDA. BATTERY IS OEM ORIGINAL AND EXHIBITS NO SIGNS OF BATTERY PROBLEMS OR STARTING...BEYOND CORROSION. SCOTT HONDA NEVER ALERTED OF THE BATTERY CORROSION MATTER, NOR ASSERTED ANY SERVICE NEED OR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TO CORRECT CONDITION. THUS, THERE VERY MANY "SAFETY CHECKLISTS" AND STATE INSPECTIONS ARE LARGELY SYSTEMATIC "WINDOW DRESSING". SCOTT HONDA HAS IGNORED MY WRITTEN REQUESTS AND PHOTOS FOR EXPLANATION, ROOT CAUSE, OR FOLLOW UP. I WILL SEEK COMPENSATION FROM AMERICAN HONDA TO REPLACE ALL BATTERY CABLE HARNESSES AND INSPECTION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AT HONDA EXPENSE. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED. I URGE ACCORD OWNERS TO VISUALLY PERFORM THEIR OWN UNDER-HOOD INSPECTIONS....REGARDLESS THE AMOUNT INSPECTIONS THEY PERCEIVE TO BE PERFORMED BY DEALER.

CAR BATTERY ISSUES. WON'T HOLD A CHARGE. WILL NOT START AT RANDOM WEEKLY. JUST CLICKS EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINS AND RETURNING TO CAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER, BATTERY GOOD, ALTERNATOR GOOD, STARTER GOOD. 2DAYS LATER HAPPENS AGAIN. ESPECIALLY AFTER PUTTING IN FUEL. TURN CAR ON, BATTERY DEAD. RIDICULOUS. TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER. ALL DIAGNOSTICS GOOD. GO TO WORK, COME OUT TO LEAVE BATTERY DEAD. GET A JUMP FROM CO WORKER, DRIVE HOME. NEXT MORNING DEAD. TAKE IT TO AUTOZONE FOR CHARGE, BATTERY LOW ON CHARGE. GET BATTERY CHARGED 4 HOURS, DRIVE TO NY & BACK HOME. GO OUT TO 7ELEVEN BATTERY DEAD, CLICK CLICK. AUTOZONE OR DEALER REFUSE TO SELL BATTERY BECAUSE BATTERY READS GOOD. WHAT'S THE ISSUE. HONDA WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING CAR SAYS IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE WITH 'THESE' CARS AND $700 FOR NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR!!! FOR WHAT? FORD DEALER (WHERE PURCHASED) GAVE THE 'ALL GOOD' AS DID AUTOZONE TESTING.

ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 17TH, 2019 THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON MY 2015 ACCORD. I WAS DRIVING ON A 45 MPH HIGHWAY LEAVING A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS NOTHING OVERHEAD AND NO PRIOR DAMAGE. THE RESIDUAL GLASS WAS POINTING UPWARDS AS IF TO HAVE EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE SOUND WAS ALSO INDICATIVE OF AN EXPLOSION. AS A RESULT, I SWERVED AND ENDED UP WITH GLASS RAINING ON MY HEAD. PLEASE HELP WITH SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. HONDA WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL AND WAS VERY RUDE AND CALLOUS ABOUT THE SITUATION AND I'M NOW LEFT WITH A GAPING HOLE THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR.

UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. BATTERY TESTED FINE. HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND THE CAR STILL WON'T START TWO DAYS AFTER BEING REPLACED. THE RECALL FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR WAS ALSO DONE ON THE CAR AND THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD AFTER 33,000 MILES IS GIVING ME A LOT OF PROBLEM BATTERY WISE. I HAD TO HAVE IT BOOSTED SEVERAL TIMES, I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER WHO DID A THOROUGH CHECK AND WHO CLAIM THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY. EVEN BEING VERY CAREFUL ABOUT NOT LEAVING ANYTHING ELECTRIC WHEN THE POWER IS NOT ON, I STILL EXPERIENCE TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE CAR; I HOPE I WONT HAVE TO CHANGE THE BATTERY AT 34,000 MILES AND BARELY 40 MONTHS OLD CAR. ALSO WHILE IN MOTION I EXPERIENCED THE CAR WANTING TO STALL, WITH THE POWER OF THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN FOR A SECOND OR 2. THERE WAS A RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY.

THE STARTER BUTTON ONLY PRODUCES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN DEPRESSED. THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER AND DOES NOT START. THE CONDITION IS A SAFETY MATTER AS IT MAKES THE CAR UNUSABLE AND NOT AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) IN AUGUST OF 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOYD HONDA OF SOUTH HILL VIRGINIA (1121 E ATLANTIC ST, SOUTH HILL, VA 23970, (434) 447-3111) WHERE THE BATTERY SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY SENSOR REPLACEMENT WAS TO PREVENT THE BATTERY FROM DYING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09195187. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE OF LOSS OF ENGINE POWER THAT MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.IF THE ENGINE LEAKS OIL IN THE PROXIMITY OF A HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST COMPONENTS ,THERE IS A RISK OF FIE. WELL THIS STALL OR NO POWER HAPPENS TO ME FREQUENTLY SINCE IVE OWN THE CAR. TOLD THEM ABOUT IT WHEN I WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGES BUT WAS NEVER WRITTEN DOWN OR LOOKED AT SO I JUST CHALKED IT UP AS DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT SO I'D LET IT GO. SO WHEN I WAS LOOKING UP HONDA ROTO TROUBLES .I SAW THIS RECALL AN WONDERING WHY I DIDN'T GET A RECALL SINCE I THINK MY CAR FALLS INTO THIS. SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT AT NO COST TO ME FOR SURE THAT I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS DANGER FOR 4 YEARS AND IS SCARY THAT I'M TRYING TO GO IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND NO POWER THEN IT PICKS UP. THINK ABOUT IT WHEN AN IF YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND YOUR TRYING TO GO AND A CAR BAREING DOWN ON YOU AND YOU CAN GO BECAUSE OF NO POWER? ONLY WAY LIKE I SAID I FOUND THIS WAS BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING WHY MY REAR ROTORS WERE WARPED AND HAD TO REPLACE THEM. LOVE TO HEAR YOUR INPUT. THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION BUT WON'T BE SURPRISED IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU PEOPLE SEE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CARE!

THE CAR FAILS TO START AFTER SEVERAL TURNS OF THE KEY UP TO 12 TIMES BEFORE STARTING. ONCE IT DOES START, IT STARTS LIKE THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM AT ALL. CAR RARELY STARTS ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE ABOUT 47,000 MILES. CAR CURRENTLY HAS 51,000

HAD MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD EX-L IN FOR SERVICE TODAY, AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES BECAUSE THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AGAIN. IN THE LAST YEAR TO TRY AND CORRECT THE SOFT PEDAL I HAVE REPLACED THE PADS AND ROTORS, AND A FEW MONTHS HAD THE BRAKES BLED. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY HAVE SEEN ISSUES WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER, LUCKY I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT WILL ONLY COST ME THE DEDUCTIBLE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HAVE MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEMS AT 36000 MILES.
