2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

BOTH REAR TIRES UNEVENLY CUPPING ON THE INSIDE . CAR HAS LESS THAN 25K MILES. THE REST OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE SHOWS LITTLE TO NO WEAR ON IT. CAR IS SHAKING AND MAKING LOUD THUMPING SOUNDS AS IT DRIVES. UNSAFE ISSUE , FACTORY DEFECT WITH UNADJUSTABLE CAMBER/TOE SETTINGS. NOT A ROTATION OR ALIGNMENT ISSUE. LOTS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY TURNED TO THE LEFT AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD INADVERTENTLY MOVE TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CULVER CITY HONDA (9055 W WASHINGTON BLVD, CULVER CITY, CA (310) 815-3888), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AIRPORT MARINA HONDA (5850 W CENTINELA AVE. LOS ANGELES, CA 90045 (310) 649-2440). THE CONTACT WENT ON A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DRIVE WITH A TECHNICIAN AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND MOVED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN SHAFT WAS LOOSE, THE FRONT SUSPENSION FELT ROUGH, AND THERE WAS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOADY HONDA IN ALHAMDIA, CALIFORNIA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY. THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.

2015 HONDA ACCORD HAS PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE NOISE PROBLEM. LUTE RILEY DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS DUE TO BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY RARE THAT A NEW CAR WITH LESS TWO AND HALF YEARS OLD AND MILEAGE LESS THAN 35K HAS REAR BRAKE WEAR-OUT. MY PREVIOUS TOYOTA CAMRY NEVER HAD REAR BRAKE PAD OUT FOR MORE THAN 12 YEARS AND > 155K. THE HONDA REAR BRAKE PAD PROBLEM IS DUE TO HONDA'S REAR BRAKE DESIGN/FABRICATION/MATERIAL PROBLEM. THUS HONDA SHOULD TAKE ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH POWER SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD TO TAKE THE EXIT SINCE I WAS LUCKILY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND CLOSE TO THE EXIT. CAR WAS RUNNING ON BATTERY ONLY AT AROUND 30 MPH. I PULLED OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF POWER AND TURNED BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO REACH HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE CARDIE TO DRIVABILITY ISSUE. THEY CALLED US BACK AFTER 2 DAYS AND TOLD US THAT THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE NECESSARY ACTION IMMEDIATELY.

WITHIN 5 SECONDS AFTER WE GOT INTO THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOORS ON THE 2 DOOR COUPE THE BACK GLASS EXPLODED. LUCKY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB AND GLASS FLEW ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAD NOT EVEN STARTED THE ENGINE. IT WAS IN MY PARKING SPACE BEHIND MY HOME. NO ONE WAS NEAR AND THE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 40 DEGREES AND CLEAR.

AIR CONDITION WHEN SET ON HIGH TEMPERATURE (78+), AFTER 10 MINUTES,IT STARTS GENERATING COOL AIR. IN WINTER IT'S NOT WORKING AS PER EXPECTATION. ALWAYS EXPERIENCED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. *BF

MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD LX KEY STARTED CHIPPING OFF IN THE LOCK CYLINDER AND STOP TURNING AFTER 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE LOCK CYLINDER STOP TURNING WITH MY KEY IN THE CYLINDER. THE HONDA TURNED OFF ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THIS OCCURRED. THE LOCK CYLINDER, KEY RE-PROGRAMMED TO MATCH THE NEW LOCK CYLINDER COST MY $660 AND WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AS A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. I ALSO CONFIRMED THAT SEVEN (7) OTHER HONDA OWNERS AT MY JOB WITH KEYS EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOCK CYLINDER PROBLEM ON THE AVERAGE BEFORE 30,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THEY HAD TO GET THE LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED TOO.

OWNER WAS DRIVING THE 2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEED LIMIT (60MPH) AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS PUT ON A "FAIL SAFE MODE" OR A DRIVING SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 40MPH. LUCKILY THE OWNER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A SAFE AREA, CALLED HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WAS PERFORMED AND AN UPDATE OF A VEHICLE SOFTWARE WAS MADE BASED ON HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 15-057. I THINK HONDA SHOULD RECALL ALL HONDA ACCORD HYBRID THAT HAVE THESE ISSUES IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE THE VEHICLE SOFTWARE UPDATED BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE VEHICLE FAILURE AND INJURY TO CAR OCCUPANTS AS BEING ON A FAIL SAFE DRIVING MODE COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME AND COULD PUT THE CAR OCCUPANTS IN A VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE SITUATION..

MY TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM) SIGNALS FALSE ALARMS. MOST RECENTLY, 4-5-17, 60 MILES AFTER PROPER RESET OF THE TPMS, THE WARNING LIGHT LIT UP AGAIN. ALL FOUR TIRES PROVED CORRECTLY INFLATED TO 37.5PSI (HOT). FOR FALSE TPMS ALARMS THE MANUAL INSTRUCTS THE OWNER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, UNDER WARRANTY. ON 4-7-5 MORGAN HILL HONDA CLAIMED (A) THAT MY COMPLAINT IS COMMON AND (B) THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FIX. "HONDA IS VERY SORRY." THE INHERENT DANGER OF A SPURIOUS WARNING LIGHT IS OBVIOUS: CONSIDER A STRANGE LIGHT AT 70MPH IN THE DIAMOND LANE AT NIGHT: IF THE DRIVER CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE LIGHT, PANIC MAY ENSUE. AND IF THE DRIVER DOES RECOGNIZE THE LIGHT, WHAT THEN? CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO EXIT IN THE DARK IN ORDER TO VISUALLY INSPECT BLACK LOW-PROFILE ("HIGH PERFORMANCE") TIRES FOR INFLATION? WHAT CAN GO WRONG FOR A WOMAN PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A STRANGE NEIGHBORHOOD TO INSPECT HER TIRES? THEORETICALLY "MIKE" AT MORGAN HILL HONDA (408-500-3000) DOCUMENTED MY CASE TODAY, 4-7-17. HE PROVIDED NO PAPER RECEIPT, AS HE DID NOTHING OTHER THAT SPIN A YARN ABOUT TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS AS A PROBABLY CAUSE. (GARAGED CARS EXPERIENCE ENORMOUS TEMP VARIATIONS EVERY MORNING, WINTER AND SUMMER.) UNLESS NHTSA IS BEING DRAINED AS PART OF THE "SWAMP", IT SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT VIGOROUSLY.
