2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

VEHICLE DOES NOT DECELERATE WHEN GOING GOING DOWN HILL OR DRIVING IN CITY CITY TRAFFIC OR ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY. ON 4 MAY 2016, TESTED DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE MR. TOM ZUMIEDA.. MR. ZUMIEDA STATED HE FOUND THE VEHICLE TO BE WORKING AS DESIGNED AND AT FACTORY SPECS. HE DID VERIFY MY COMPLAINT AND ADVISED AND DEMONSTRATED HOW TO USE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN APPLICABLE TO CHANGE THE SHIFT PATTERN TO HELP THE DOWN SHIFT PROCESS WHEN SHOWING DOWN AND FOOT OF THE GAS PEDAL.

THE SEATS, IN PARTICULAR THE HEAD RESTRAINTS (HEADRESTS), ARE OF A FAULTY DESIGN IN THAT THEY ARE TILTED TOO FAR FORWARD FOR ANY KIND OF COMFORT AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. ONLY IF ONE DRIVES WHILE IN A SEMI-RECLINED POSITION IS THE HEADREST TOLERABLE. COMPARED TO A SAFER, MORE VERTICAL DRIVING POSITION, THIS SEMI-RECLINED (APPROX 25 DEGREES FROM VERTICAL) DRIVING POSITION HINDERS ONE'S ALERTNESS AND ABILITY TO SEE AND REACT TO ALL TRAFFIC SITUATIONS; THEREFORE THIS LACK OF HEADREST TILT OR FORE/AFT ADJUSTMENT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE PEOPLE NOT IDEALLY FITTING THE SEAT AS DESIGNED. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR IS AS IT WAS DESIGNED AND BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT NEW, I KNOW IT HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED AT ALL. THIS TYPE OF MALADJUSTMENT IS NOT READILY RECOGNIZABLE IN A BRIEF TEST DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLED A SNAPSHOT TO RECORD THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

I HAD TWO TIRES BLOW IN LESS THEN A MONTH. THEY'RE MICHELIN TIRES. WAS TOLD BY HONDA I RAN OVER SOMETHING BUT THERE WAS NO PUNCTURE AT ALL IN MY TIRE. IT WAS A PERFECT BLOW. THE LIGHT LITERALLY CAME ON A TWO SECONDS LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT BLEW. I NEARLY WRECKED AND WAS KILLED. THE SECOND SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE THE ROAD MAYBE A MINUTE AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. CAME RIGHT HOME AND CALLED HONDA. I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY CAR DOWN TO THEM BC OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. I KNOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND I WANT MY $230.00 BACK FOR THE ONE TIRE I REPLACED AND ALL NEW TIRES. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR RIGHT NOW. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TOO. I HAD A HONDA BEFORE THIS CAR AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES LIKE I'M HAVING NOW.

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR IT STALLS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND DRIVING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS INVOLVING THE SHORT BOX AND IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR IF THE OLD LEAKS IT CAN CATCH ON FIRE. THE RECALL IS PRINTED ON THE INTERNET. I WILL EMAIL IT TO YOU LATER AS I DO NAT HAVE IT WITH ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY MONTH AND MANY TIMES EVERY MONTH. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AND THEY WILL NOT CALL ME BACK. I WANT A NEW CAR UNDER THE LEMON LAW. PLEASE HELP. OTHERS NEED TO KNOW THERE IS A DANGER HERE BUT THIS IS TOP SECRET.

ENGINE MISFIRES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE TACHOMETER SURGING 1,000 RPM'S WITH EACH MISFIRE. YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN YOUR SPEED AND THEREFORE ARE NOT ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO STATED SOMEONE ELSE HAD RECENTLY BEEN IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBELM ON A TEST DRIVE. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER TO FACTORY SETTINGS, BUT DIDN'T HEAR BACK YET FROM THE OWNER IF IT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T RESET MY CAR'S COMPUTER, HOWEVER. MY PROBLEM APPEARS TO MATCH THAT OF NHTSA ID NUMBER 10838521.

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA ACCORD ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO. I NOTICED AFTER DRIVING IT A MONTH OR MORE THAT EVERY LONG ONCE IN A WHILE IT WAS SHOWING ME A DEFECT KNOWN AS "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION". I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND AFTER THEY EXAMINED IT, PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER MACHINE AND TEST DROVE IT A FEW MILES, THEY FOUND IT TO BE PERFECT, NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT BACK AND CONTINUED DRIVING IT THINKING THAT PERHAPS I DID SOMETHING THAT CAUSED IT.AS I CONTINUED ON WITH IT, I PULLED INTO MY HANDICAP SPACE AT MY PARKING LOT. FRONT END UP TO A CONCRETE BUNKER WITH THE HANDICAP SIGN STANDING TALL IN FRONT. I WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE KEY OFF, WHEN SUDDENLY WHILE MY FEET WERE OFF THE PEDALS THE CAR ZOOMED UP TO 40 MPH,I TURNED THE WHEEL LEFT TO TRY AND AVOID THE SIGN AFTER IT HIT THE BUNKER AND AS IT SPED INTO THE NEXT PARKING LANE I BRAKED AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL.LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN THE SECOND LANE OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEBODY AS WELL AS MYSELF.I TOOK IT TO TWO MORE DEALERS WITH A DAMAGED PASSENGER FENDER AND THEY ALL SAID AFTER LOOKING AND TESTING AGAIN THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE LAST DEALER BROUGHT A HONDA EXPERT MECHANIC IN FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND HE TOO SAID NOTHING'S WRONG. WITHOUT EVIDENCE THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME.IF WE CAN'T FIND THE TROUBLE YOU SAY IS THERE, WE CAN'T ACCOMODATE YOU. I SAID, SO YOUR SENDING ME HOME NOW TO GET KILLED?SORRY BUT THERE'S NO PROOF. I CALLED HONDA MANUFACTURER AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING.

WHILE OVERTAKING A LARGE TRUCK (SEMI), IN THE FAST LANE OF A FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FLASHED A WARNING AND AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED HEAVY BRAKING AS MY VEHICLE WAS EVEN WITH THE REAR OF THE SEMI TRAILER. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO NEARLY REAR-END MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENT LATELY. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT USING THE ACC WHEN APPROACHING OR PASSING A LARGE SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING THE SAME SITUATION POSTED ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

I AM CURRENTLY LEASING A 2015 ACCORD. I TOOK MY CAR TO WAL-MART TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED AND WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT ROTATE DUE TO MY REAR TIRES CUPPING. I TOOK IT TO HONDA CAR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED MY REAR TIRES WERE CUPPING AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY. MY ALIGNMENT WASN'T BAD. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD ROTATE THEM AND BALANCE AND DO A NEW ALIGNMENT. THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WOULD BE LOUD DUE TO PUTTING THE CUPPING TIRES IN FRONT. I HAVE LEARNED OTHER PEOPLE WITH HIGH MILE HONDA ACCORD 2015 ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE WHERE THE CHAMBER IS OFF. THE ONLY WAY CURRENTLY I CAN GET MY TO STOP SOUNDING LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER IS TO BUY NEW TIRES HOWEVER WITH THE CHAMBER BEING OFF IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND THE NEW TIRES WILL CUP TOO. I AM GOING TO CONTACT HONDA AGAIN AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO HOWEVER I HEARD HONDA IS NOT AGREEING THAT CAMBER IS OFF.

THIS VEHICLE HAS NO DASHBOARD INDICATOR TO INFORM YOU WHEN THE WASHER FLUID IS LOW. THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A SMALL THING, HOWEVER, THE POINT WHEN YOU RUN OUT WITHOUT WARNING IS WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY THIS WINTER WITH A LOT OF SALTY SPRAY COMING OFF THE ROAD. THE RESULT WAS A STREAKY MESS THAT I COULD BARELY SEE THROUGH. FORTUNATELY, I CARRY A GALLON OF FLUID WITH ME SO I STOPPED AND FILLED IT ON THE SPOT. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL, THE INDICATOR IS ONLY FOUND ON CANADIAN MODELS.
