2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

BATTERY DIED SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING. ON 1/1/2018, I DRIVE TO THE GAS STATION ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND NOTICED THAT PUMP WAS OUT OF OF ORDER SO STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE TO ANOTHER PUMP WITHOUT ISSUE. I FILLED UP MY TANK, WHICH TOOK ABOUT 4 GALLONS OF GAS, THEN WHEN I TRIED SO START MY CAR IT WOULD NOT START. I HAVE PUSH BUTTON START AND ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS WORKED BUT THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE DASH BLINKED. I TRIED 3 MORE TIMES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT VERY TIGHT AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED AT THE GAS STATION. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE RESCUE. WHEN THE GUY JUMPED MY BATTERY HE SAID MY BATTERY WAS SO LOW THAT WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF NEXT TIME IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS IS AT 6AM IN THE MORNING ON A HOLIDAY, AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE PARKING MY CAR FOR 5 DAYS ST THE AIRPORT. I HAD TO CANCEL MY FLIGHT AND FIND A PLACE TO BUY A NEW BATTERY THAT SAME DAY, WITHOUT HAVING TO TURN MY CAR OFF. THE BATTERY COST ALMOST $200. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM DEALER SO IT HAD THE ORIGINAL BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WITHIN. I ALSO HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT DEALER, MOST RECENTLY TWO MONTHS PREVIOUS, WHERE ALL THINGS CHECKED WERE LISTED AS OK. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2015. THE BATTERY SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED SO QUICKLY. THE CAR HAD 56,165 AT THE TIME OF BATTERY FAILURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE CAR HAS NEVER NOT STARTED. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE BATTERY SENSOR, AND WE RECEIVED THE TEMPORARY FIX AND WILL GET THE PERMANENT FIX DURING OUR NEXT MAINTENANCE, HOWEVER I FIND IT STRANGE THAT MY BATTERY FAILED IN BETWEEN. I'VE NEVER, SINCE I'VE OWNED A CAR, HAD TO REPLACE A CAR BATTERY IN JUST 2.5 YEARS OF USAGE.

DURING STAND STILL AND DRIVING, WHEN I STEP ON ACCELERATION PEDAL THE CAR OFTEN TIME HESITATES TO MOVE. TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON ACCELERATION PEDAL, THEN SHE MOVES TOO FAST. IN AN ANOTHER WORD, I CAN'T CONTROL THE CAR SPEED IN THE WAY I WANT AT 60 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S AIR BAG INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SMOKE ESCAPED FROM THE AIR BAG. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY DIED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF FREEHOLD (4244 U.S. 9, FREEHOLD, NJ 07728, (732) 410-5508) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW BATTERY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD AN OPEN RECALL REPAIRED FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE BATTERY AND A NEW RECALL WAS ISSUED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,935.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR DEFECTIVE IN BATTERY SENSORS?? DEALER MENTIONED IT WAS ON BACK ORDER AND NEVER CONTACTED US AGAIN

ON OCTOBER 23RD, 2017 I PRESSED ON A BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR DID NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN. I FRANTICALLY STARTED PRESSING IT A NUMBER OF TIMES AND AFTER ABOUT A 3RD TIME, AN INCH AWAY FROM A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY CAR FINALLY STOPPED. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TAMAROFF HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 45 MPH STREET CALLED ORCHARD LAKE.

ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 8TH MY WIFE WENT OUT TO START OUR 2015 HONDA ACCORD WITH 38,531 MILES. THE CAR DID NOT START. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO UNIVERSITY HONDA. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND SAID THAT THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD. WE WERE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY FOR $127.63. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA REQUESTING TO BE REIMBURSED THE $127.63. THEY OPENED A CASE #06448979. MY CAR IS 2,531 MILES OUTSIDE ITS WARRANTY. IT HAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR FAULTY BATTERY SENSORS. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 7/31/15, SO THE BATTERY FAILED AFTER ONLY 27 MONTHS. THE NEW BATTERY THAT I PURCHASED FROM HONDA HAS A 100 MONTH WARRANTY WITH NO MILEAGE LIMIT. A REASONABLE PERSON WOULD EXPECT A NEW CAR BATTERY TO LAST LONGER THAN 27 MONTHS, ESPECIALLY SINCE WHEN HONDA SELLS THE BATTERY SEPARATELY FROM THE CAR YOU ARE GIVEN A 100 MONTH WARRANTY. SO EITHER THE BATTERY WAS FAULTY OR THE FAULTY BATTERY SENSORS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL PREMATURELY. TIA FROM AMERICAN HONDA STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS BEYOND THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND ALL SHE COULD DO IS GIVE ME 'HONDA DOLLARS' THAT I CAN SPEND ON HONDA PRODUCTS. SHE WOULD NOT LET ME TALK TO ANYONE ELSE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND TALKING TO MECHANICS, IT SEEMS THAT HONDA HAS SOLD CARS WITH FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT CAUSE BATTERIES TO FAIL PREMATURELY. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COSTS THAT I HAVE INCURRED AND RECALL THEIR FAULTY BATTERIES.

THE DRIVERS SEAT TRIM HAS FALLEN OFF NOW FOR THE 4TH TIME. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT FIXED IT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT STAY IN PLACE. I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT DRIVES THE CAR AND DO NOT MOVE IT FROM THE POSITION IT IS IN. I BELIEVE IT IS REALLY THE SEAT THAT IS THE PROBLEM AND NO TRIM WILL EVER STAY PUT. IT IS A DEFECT BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY UPSET. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX IT FOR GOOD
