2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE CAR WOULD GIVE A HARD TIME STARTING ONCE A WEEK, THIS STARTED 3 WEEKS AGO, THEN LAST WEEK IT JUST STOPPED TURNING ON, AFTER TRYING COUPLE OF TIMES , I TURNED IT ON, DROVE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WERE THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY AND A NEW STARTER. THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT SINCE THE CAR PASSED THE 36,000MILES, IT HAD 42,000MILES. I NOTICED ANOTHER CAR SIMILAR TO MINE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP, SO I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING QUIET OFTEN AND DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL AS WELL AS THEM HAVING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THIS MATTER. I HAVE DONE ALL THE WORK AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAVE DOCUMENTS AND RECEIPTS IT COSTED ME ABOUT 840$$ WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR A RELATIVELY NEW CAR.

CAR WOULDN'T START ALL ELECTRIC SYSTEMS DOWN. CAR SHUTDOWN NO LIGHTS NO ENGINES. NO POWER AT ALL.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, HOWEVER WHEN CHECKED TIRE PRESSURES ARE FINE - THIS OCCURED OVER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE CAR, FINALLY THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY RESOLVED THE ISSUE AND HAD INFLATED ALL TIRES TO 32 PSI AND RESET SENORS. HOWEVER CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE TODAY, (AT THE DEALERSHIP) ALL 4 TIRES WERE AT 21 PSI AND NO SENSOR LIGHT FOR LOW PRESSURE WAS ON. DURING THE FIRST THREE EPISODES OF LOW TIRE LIGHT - A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH HONDA, THEY ASSURED US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED, HOWEVER APPEARS TO STILL BE AN ISSUE, DRIVING ON 4 UNDERINFLATED TIRES IS ALSO A SERIOUS RISK (WE ONLY HAD THEM CHECKED BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN SEASONS FOR WINTER TO SPRING). WAS TOLD BY HONDA THE SENSOR ISSUE IS "USUALLY A DRIVER ISSUE, NOT A SENSOR ISSUE".

CAR BATTERY DIED 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS THE YEAR MAKE MODEL HAS RECALL FOR BATTERY SENSOR SHORT CAUSING BATTERY DRAIN/FAILURE AS WELL AS POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WITH NEGATIVE TERMINAL. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNIVERSITY HONDA OF FLORENCE (250 COX CREEK PKWY, FLORENCE, AL 35630 (256) 760-7400) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS AWAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

TOWARDS THE END OF 2017, I HAD MY HONDA ACCORD SERVICE AS A RESULT OF THE BATTERY DEFECT RECALL. AFTER SUCH REPAIR, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY BACK IN FEBRUARY 2018. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES THE HONDA DEALER STATED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND CHARGED ME TO REPAIR IT . HOWEVER, ON 4/1/18 THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN AND I THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THE TOO MANY 2015 HONDA ACCORDS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FOLLOWING THE BATTERY DEFECT RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK, SINCE THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER LEAVING ONE VULNERABLE TO BING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THE CAR STALLS. MY CAR PANEL/ SYSTEM DOES NOT GIVE ANY WARNING PRIOR TO SHUTTING DOWN ALL POWER WHILE THE CAR IS ON MOTION. ONCE THE CAR STALLS, ONE CAN NOT TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED AS A RESULT THAT F THIS DEFECT ON THE HONDA ACCORD.

I RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE RECALL FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR AND TOOK THE CAR IN AUGUST BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. NEXT MAINTENANCE IN NOVEMBER I REMINDED THEM OF THE RECALL ON THE BATTERY AND THEY GAVE ME THE TEMPORARY FIXING. SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE BATTERY STARTED TO FAIL. I WOULD HAVE MY CAR PARKED AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. THIS HAS BEEN MORE CONSTANT NOW. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER MARCH 7, 2018 AND I MENTIONED ABOUT THE BATTERY AND THEY TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS FINE THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER MY BATTERY DIED 2 TIMES AFTER HAVING IT OFF FOR LESS THEN 10 MINUTES. AND HAD TO JUMP START IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY HAVE SAID THE SOLUTION IS TO BUY A NEW BATTERY BUT THE CAR IS JUST 2 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND MY MILEAGE IS NOT EVEN 40,000 MILES YET. HONDA SHOULD BE THE ONE TO FIX THIS.

THE HAND BREAK HAS COME LOOSE IT USES TO COME UP ONLY ONE CLICK BUT NOW IT GOES UP 6-7 CLICKS. CHANGED REST BREAK PADS BUT NO RESOLUTION. ALSO WHEN I ACTIVATE THE HAMSBREAK THE RIGHT SIDE GOES NOT SEEM TO ENGAGE

WHEN THE CAR STARTS DRIVING FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON COLD DAYS THERE THERE A BRIEF BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS MORE PRONOUNCED AND REGULAR WHEN TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THE FIRST 2 AND HALF YEARS BIT NOW IS IS QUITE COMMON.

, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE BUT WHEN TIME CAME TO GET OFF I STOPED AT THE FIRST LIGHT, TRIED TO DRIVE OFF THEN THE CAR STARTED PULLING, TOOK OFF DRIVING THEN THE CAR JUST TOTALLY SHUT OFF NO TYPE OF WARNING THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM AND ALSO NO DASH BOARD LIGHTS LITE UP TO NOTIFY ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM
