2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED, AND DRIVEN HOME. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,927.

HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE A SHARP TOP SIDE CUTOFF THAT MAKES SEEING THE ROAD AND SIGNS AND OBJECTS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN HILL AND IF THE ROAD RISES SHARPLY, YOU CANNOT SEE VERY FAR AHEAD, I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE CROSSING A STREET BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, THE HEATER/AC CONTROLS ARE NEEDLESSLY COMPLICATED, AS ARE THE RADIO CONTROLS. WHERE ONE KNOB COULD CONTROL THE ON/OFF AND FAN SPEED, THIS CAR HAS THREE SEPARATE SMALL BUTTONS WHERE YOU MUST TAKE YOURS EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIND. THE SAME APPLIES TO CHANGING THE TEMPERATURE; THERE ARE TWO UP/DOWN SEPARATE BUTTONS, WHERE ONE SIMPLE KNOB WOULD WORK. THE RADIO, TOO HAS TOO MANY NEEDLESS BUTTONS TO PUSH. IF TEXTING IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING, THEY HAVE MADE THIS CAR DANGEROUS TO CHANGE ALMOST ANY CONTROL. THERE SHOULD BE THE RULE THAT CONTROLS BE KEPT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LEXUS EVEN HAS A SEPARATE MOUSE YOU MUST USE TO CHANGE SETTINGS! IT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,800. UPDATED 09/08/16*LJ *CN

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA HAS IDENTIFIED A CURRENT SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, YET CANNOT CORRECT THIS FLAW IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. IT MAY TAKES MONTHS BEFORE THE REPAIR IS MADE. THEIR CURRENT WRITTEN ADVICE IS TO "...AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." HOW IS A FAMILY OF FOUR EXPECTED TO DO THIS WITH A FAMILY SEDAN SEATING FOUR? WE HAVE NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE IN MY COMMUNITY. SHALL I ALWAYS LEAVE A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY BEHIND THEN? NEVER LEAVE HOME? IF HONDA CANNOT PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE RENTAL VEHICLES FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS REASONABLE GIVEN THE SAFETY CONCERN.

OBVIOUS STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BREAKING. HONDA SAYS THEY CAN CORRECT THE ROTOR PROBLEMS WITH A BREAK JOB FOR $209.00. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF ROTOR PROBLEM COMPLAINTS.

ON JULY 9, 2016, WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON INTERSTATE I-75 RIGHT OUTSIDE OF CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE. WE HAD ONLY TRAVELED 4 OR 5 MILES WHEN WE HEARD A HORRENDOUS NOISE WHICH CAME FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT WAS ALL MY HUSBAND COULD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR UNTIL WE GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE. WHILE HE WAS STEERING IT OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, I SAW THE REMAINS OF THE MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 215/55R215 RIGHT REAR TIRE GO SAILING PAST THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. THESE TIRES HAD 12,619 MILES ON THEM WHEN THIS BLOW-OUT OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. THIS TIRE SIMPLY EXPLODED!

CAR FAILED TO START BECAUSE BRAKE PEDAL REFUSED TO DEPRESS SLIGHTLY AND CLOSE ITS PART OF THE STARTER CIRCUIT. THAT FAILURE-TO-DEPRESS RENDERED THE DASHBOARD PUSH-BUTTON INOPERABLE. HONDA DEALER CLAIMED THAT BRAKE PEDAL USE DURING PARKING HAD OVER-PRESSURIZED THE BRAKE PEDAL CYLINDER, WHICH WOULD GRADUALLY BLEED OFF. THAT BLEED OFF TOOK ANYWHERE FROM 5 MINUTES TO 2 HOURS, IN 3 SEPARATE INSTANCES. THIS PROBLEM RENDERS THIS $30,030 CAR USELESS FOR TAKING A PREGNANT WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL OR FOR A MYRIAD OF OTHER HAVE-TO-START-THE-CAR-NOW REASONS.

PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING PLAZA ONTO THE HIGHWAY, DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH AT FIRST, THE REAR OF THE CAR STARTED SHAKING MILDLY. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTED SHAKING EXCESSIVELY, VIBRATING VERY LOUDLY. I THOUGHT I HAD 2 FLAT TIRES BUT THEN THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON...THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL AND THE "POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM" I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE VEHICLE ALL OF THE TIRES WERE OK. I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES LETTING IT COOL DOWN STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ALL OF THE DISPLAY WARNINGS WERE OFF I TURNED OFF THE "ECON" OPTION AND PUSHED THE "EV" (ELECTRIC VEHICLE) BUTTON HOPING IF THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THAT, THOSE OPTIONS WOULD NOW BE DISABLED I VERY SLOWLY DROVE IT HOME (ABOUT 2 MILES). DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE EXACT SAME HAPPENED AS ABOVE EXCEPT THIS TIME THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL GOT VERY LOOSE I PULLED INTO THE MEDIAN THE RUMBLING IS VERY CONCERNING IT IS SO AGGRESSIVE THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS FALLING APART. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ALL MESSED UP. I'M NOT SURE IF THE OPTIONS I CHECKED ARE CORRECT, THE OPTIONS TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEMS IT MIGHT INCLUDE SOMETHING I DIDN'T CHECK MARK OR I MIGHT HAVE CHECK MARKED SOMETHING UNRELATED. I JUST DID MY BEST TO GUESS. I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT CARS SO MAYBE YOU COULD VERIFY THAT THE INFORMATION PROBLEM AREAS ARE CORRECT. THANK YOU PLEASE ADVISE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, BOTH LENS COVERS SHOW A THICK ROUND CIRCLE DISTORTING THE BEAM PROJECTION.. HONDA CLAIMS THIS HAPPENS ON ALL THE ACCORDS AND REFUSES TO DO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY SAID IF THEY REPLACED THE LIGHTS IT WOULD JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY SAID ITS DUST BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE CIRCLE IS ETCHED, EITHER WAY THE LIGHT APPEARS DISTORTED

ON FRIDAY MAY 6, 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 4, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED INWARD HITTING ME WITH GLASS AND DISTRIBUTING GLASS THROUGHOUT ENTIRE INSIDE OF CAR, FRONT AND BACK. VERY LOUD EXPLOSION AND ALL GLASS CAME INSIDE CAR. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS BESIDE ME OR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DOING 70 MPH. HONDA SERVICE SANFORD FLORIDA SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THEIR WINDOWS DOING THIS, HOWEVER, WHEN I GO ON LINE I SEE MANY ENTRIES ON THE INTERNET OUTLINING THIS SAME IDENTICAL ISSUE, PLUS THERE ARE LAW SUITS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST HONDA DUE TO THIS ISSUE. HONDA SERVICE SANFORD CLEANED ALL OF THE GLASS FROM WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF CAR WITHOUT TAKING PICTURES. I WILL TAKE PICTUES OF THE INSIDE OF DOOR ONCE THEY REMOVE PANELS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TO ENSURE THAT THAT IS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS THAT ITS REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND CAUSES INJURY OR DEATH TO OTHER.
