2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL AFFECTING THE BATTERY/CHARGING SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. THE MENTIONED ISSUE ALREADY CAUSED MY BATTERY TO FAIL AS WELL. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE REPAIR THE BATTERY SENSOR WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE BATTERY WAS TESTED AND WAS NO GOOD. THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE FAILED BATTERY SENSING WHICH WAS CAUSING A CHARGING SYSTEM PROBLEM. I HAD TO PAY FOR $118.10 FOR THE BATTERY. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE BATTERY. ALSO, I HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR IN A FEW MONTHS BEFORE FOR THE CHARGING ISSUE. I WAS MADE TO FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. THE RECALL WAS NOT OUT AT THE TIME.

'TAKATA RECALL'-ON JULY 12TH 2017 I WAS INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD COLLISION IN LANCASTER,CALIFORNIA ON 30TH STREET WEST AND AVE K AT AROUND 8:25AM.I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON 30TH AT 50-55MPH WHEN A WOMAN CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME,I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR TO KEEP FROM T BONING HER WHICH I DID, SO MY CAR HIT THE FRONT END OF HER HUGE 2003 RED LINCOLN MURCURY. MY AIRBAG DID DEPLOY AND LET OFF THIS AWFUL SMELL THAT I STILL REMEMBER TO THIS DAY,I PUT MY RIGHT ARM UP IN FRONT OF MY FACE TO KEEP IT FROM HITTING ME,DUE TO ME DOING THAT MY RIGHT ARM SUSTAINED BRUISING ALL THE WAY TO THE BONE AND MY STERNUM WAS FRACTURED.

OLDER PEOPLE HAVE A HIGH END HEARING LOSS. HENCE, THE DRIVER WHO HAS THE SIGNAL ON CANNOT HEAR IT AND IT MISLEADS ON-COMING AND FOLLOWING VEHICLES. IT SHOULD BE CHANGED TO A LOW PITCH WHICH PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR. YES I KNOW THERE IS A FLASHING LIGHT ON THE DASH BUT IT IS NOT LIKE THE ONE ONE THAT VEHICLE HAS WHEN YOU MOVE OUT OF YOUR LANE OR DO NOT SLOW DOWN FOR A STOPPED VEHICLE. THOSE GIVE A FLASHING LIGHT BUT ALSO A LOUD SOUND. THE HIGH PITCH TURN SIGNAL SOUND IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT PROBABLY VIOLATES THE DISABILITY ACT. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON THE INTERNET. I FORGOT THE SIGNAL WAS ON AND ALMOST WAS HIT BY AN ON-COMING VEHICLE AT AN INTERSECTION WHO THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO TURN..

MY ISSUE IS I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WITHOUT ANY DISCLOSED INFORMATION, DID THEY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MY VEHICLE BEING ON RECALL. ALSO I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THAT MY CAR PASSED THE INSPECTION BUT THEN TOLD ME I HAVE TO GO GET IT INSPECTED. MY VEHICLE FAILED THE INSPECTION AFTER I WAS TOLD THAT IT PASSED WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE MONITOR CATALYST, MONITOR EVAP, MONITOR 02, NONE WE'RE READY FOR AN INSPECTION. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR TO PUT SOME MILES ON IT. NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE THAT'S WHY I AM REACHING OUT.

WENT TO LEAVE FROM OUR GARAGE AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT CRANK, RADIO COME ON BUT THEN EVERYTHING BEGIN TO FLICKER BUT WOULD NOT START, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TOME. I TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER 2 WKS AGO AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING THEY SEE IS GOOD...BUT IT'S APPARENT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

THE 12-VOLT BATTERY SENSOR CAUSED MY BATTERY TO OVERCHARGE AND SPILL OUT MOST OF THE BATTERY ACID AND CORRODED THE CABLES. THE SENSOR FAILED TO ALERT ME OF THE BATTERY'S STATE OF CHARGE AND AND NOW I HAVE A DEAD BATTERY. HONDA OF MORGAN HILL WILL NOT REPLACE MY BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CASED BY THE FAULTY SENSOR. THEY ARE HAVING ME PICK UP MY CAR WITH A DEAD BATTERY AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNTIL I PAY FOR A NEW BATTERY. YES, MY CAR IS PASSED THE 36K MILES BUT THE BATTERY AND CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

PRIOR TO TODAY, I HAD AN INSTANCE WHERE ALL MY PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY CAR FAILED TO START. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I LEARNED IT COULD BE RELATED TO A RECALL. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE AND THEY COULD PROVIDE A 'TEMPORARY FIX' IF NEEDED UNTIL THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I ELECTED NOT TO HAVE A TEMPORARY FIX AND WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO BE SAFE. WHEN GOING IN TODAY (2 MONTHS LATER) FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE BALANCE I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL AND IF THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE SO I GAVE PERMISSION FOR THE RECALL REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED WHILE THE HAD MY CAR FOR THE OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I PICKED UP MY CAR AT 5:45 AFTER BEING TOLD THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETE. I LEFT THE DEALER AND WENT TO A RESTAURANT AND WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY CAR AND TRIED TO START IT, ALL THE PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN AND IT FAILED TO START LEAVING ME STRANDED WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD SON 20 MINUTES FROM MY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. I WAS TOLD MY A SALESMAN TO BRING MY CAR IN TOMORROW MORNING. I EXPRESSED MY GRAVE CONCERN WITH THE CONDITION OF THE CAR CONSIDERING THE REPAIRS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF IT TURNING OFF OR NOT STARTING. I DID NOT WANT TO CHANCE DRIVING THE CAR AS I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE. WHILE WAITING FOR A RIDE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DISPLAY CONTINUED TO BLINK AND TURN ON AND OFF WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. WHEN MY RIDE ARRIVES, WE JUMPED OFF MY BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD START. IT STARTED BUT WAS WEAK. I DROVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (5 MILES) WHILE BEING FOLLOWED BY MY FRIEND. I LEFT THE CAR AND WAS GIVEN A LOANER IN HOPES THE REPAIRS CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. I WORRY THAT THE REPAIR WON'T BE PROPERLY FIXED (THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART)AND MY SAFETY AND MY SON'S SAFETY WILL BE COMPROMISED.

I HAD A RECALLED DATED AUGUST 2017 TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DEALER PROBLEM INDICATED ON THE LETTER: A BATTERY SENSOR CASE MOUNTED ON TOP THE 12V BATTERY WHICH MAY HAVE GAPS THAT COULD ALLOW FOR MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER OF HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE IN NY. I WAS TOLD THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT AMERICAN HONDA WILL REISSUE A LETTER. CONSIDERING THE RISK INVOLVED IN DAILY DRIVING THE CAR, HOW SOON WILL THE ISSUE BE FIXED? I AM SCARED DRIVING THIS CAR AND FREELY SO. WHAT FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION HAS AMERICAN HONDA? KINDLY RESPOND.
