2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

FAULTY BRAKE CALIPERS: MY 2015 ACCORD 4DR WITH 42K MILES WAS RECENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALER HERE IN GREENWICH, CT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE "ALMOST METAL ON METAL" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REMINDED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT REAR BRAKES SHOULD NEVER WEAR OUR BEFORE FRONT BRAKES. THEY REPLIED THAT THIS IS "NORMAL IN NEWER CARS". I ASKED TO RETAIN THE PARTS FOR EXAMINATION. NO SURPRISE THAT THE PADS ARE WORN ABNORMALLY. ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR REAR PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (SEE PHOTO), CLEARLY INDICATING A STICKING CALIPER. I WANTED TO NOTIFY NHTSA AS THIS MAY BE A SAFELY CONCERN, AND NOT JUST POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

REAR BRAKE WEAR- 2015 ACCORD 4DR. WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AT 42K MILES BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY DIED. DURING INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE "ALMOST METAL ON METAL". SERVICE MANAGER LIED AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT THIS WAS "NORMAL FOR NEWER CARS". BRAKE WEAR IS GENERALLY 70/30 FRONT TO REAR, NEVER REAR BRAKES FIRST. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, ONLY 1 OUT OF THE 4 REAR PADS WAS WORN DOWN TO 2MM, AND THE OTHER 3 WERE AT LEAST 4MM. THIS CLEARLY INDICATING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM OR FROZEN CALIPER. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY DEALER AND HONDA.

REAR TIRES WEAR UNEVENLY ON THE INSIDE, CAR HAD 14000 MILES AND HAD REPLACE THE TIRES DUE EXCESSIVE NOISE. SECOND SET OF TIRES WEARING THE SAME WAY. UNADJUSTABLE CAMBER ISSUE. SAFETY ISSUE, SUSPENSION FAILURE MAY OCCUR.

TAKATA RECALL - WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY, A LEVELED HIGHWAY, I VEERED TOWARDS THE RIGHT IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR SPEEDING FROM BEHIND ME. CAR PASSED ON MY LEFT - ALL WAS OK. THEN AS I WENT FROM THE BREAK PEDDLE TO THE GAS PEDDLE, BOOM THEN DRIVER SIDE AND DRIVER SEAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCKED, PULLING ME TOWARDS THE LEFT, ALL OF THIS WITHOUT COLLISION OR KNOWN IMPACT TO THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING WHILE USING THE PUSH TO START FUNCTION. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL CRACKLING NOISE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

UPON BREAKING CAR ACCELERATED, HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS, BROUGHT CAR TO HONDA AND THEY FOUND NO DEFECTS. HAPPENED AGAIN WITH MORE SEVERITY, INFORMED HONDA AND TO DATE THEY HAVE NOR CONTACTED ME REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

I HAD PURCHASED BRAND NEW ACCORD HYBRID 2015 IN DECEMBER 2015 AND IN JANUARY 2018 CAR BATTERY IS DRAINED FULLY DUE TO UNKNOWN REASON. LAST NIGHT , IN -5F TEMPERATURE MY CAR BROKE ON THE ROAD AND I HAVE SEEN WORST IN MY LIFE DUE TO CAR ISSUE ON THE ROAD. I WOULD APPRECIATE , IF YOU LOOK INTO THE QUALITY OF BATTERY ISSUE BEING PLACED IN CAR FROM HONDA AND VARIOUS DEALERS AS IT SOUNDS SKETCHY TO ME. EVEN IF I DROVE 45K MILES BATTERY SHOULD LAST LONGER ON NEWER CAR COMPARE OLDER CARS. I WOULD APPRECIATE , IF YOU CAN LOOK INTO IT MORE CLOSELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HONDA SUPERSTORE OF LISLE (4475 LINCOLN AVE, LISLE, IL 60532, (630) 852-7200) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I HAVE HAD 3 OF 4 TIRES FAIL (BLOW OUT) WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE FIRS WAS LESS THAN 10,000, SECOND I BELIEVE AROUND 14,000 THEN THE THIRD AT 19,000. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

THE PLASTIC CASE OF THE BATTERY SENSOR MAY HAVE GAPS THAT ALLOW MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. IF MOISTURE CONTAINING CONDUCTIVE SUBSTANCES (SUCH AS ROAD SALT) ENTERS THE BATTERY SENSOR, IT COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY, A FIRE.
