2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

WHEN YOU PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO POWER THE VEHICLE (LIKE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR CHANGING LANES IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR STALLS AND PUT YOU AT RISK OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR DRIVING 55 MPH AND TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS WARM OR COLD, BUT OCCURS LESS WHEN COLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM ALL FOUR TIRES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A TIRE ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WORSENED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

PURCHASED CAR IN MAY OF 2015. WENT ON A 10 HOUR TRIP AFTER OWNING 2 WEEKS, AFTER A FEW HOURS IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTAIN A COMFORTABLE DRIVING POSITION. SEATS PULL BACK AND NECK, LEGS GO TO SLEEP. UPON ARRIVING AT OUR DESTINATION BOTH DRIVERS HAD HEADACHE AND SORE BACK AND LEGS. RECENTLY HAD CAR IN SHOP FOR MINOR BODY SHOP REPAIRS AND WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR, DODGE CHALLENGER, WHAT A RELIEF ! GREAT SEATS. HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK NOW FOR 3 DAYS AND IMMEDIATELY FELT BACK DISCOMFORT SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING GETTING RID OF THIS CAR AFTER EIGHT MONTHS OF MISERY! MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT!

ENGINE MISFIRES AT 50-60 MPH WITH THE TACHOMETER SURGING FROM 1400 RPM TO 2500 RPM WITH EACH MISFIRE. YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN YOUR SPEED AND THEREFORE ARE NOT ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET.

THE FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED OCTOBER 22ND, 2015. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I WENT TO CHANGE THE VOLUME (UP AND DOWN) ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS NOT REGISTERING TO THE CAR. I THEN TRIED CHANGING THE STATION WITH THE LEFT AND RIGHT BUTTONS, AND NOTHING CHANGED. I PROCEEDED TO TRY USING THE TOUCHSCREEN AND I WOULD PRESS FIRMLY AND THE STATIONS WOULD NOT CHANGE. I WOULD HAVE TO STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES, THEN IT WOULD RANDOMLY WORK AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT WORK TILL THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK MY CAR IN, SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO(S), AND THEY SAID THEY REBOOTED/RESTARTED/UPDATED THE FIRMWARE OR THE 'SYSTEM' AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO JUST COME IN. MY CAR IS CURRENT BACK IN THE SHOP, AND NOW I HAVE SEVEN VIDEOS DOCUMENTED OF THIS HAPPENING, ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE RECURRING, ON DECEMBER 2ND, 2015, DECEMBER 15TH, 2015, JANUARY 17TH, 2016, AND JANUARY 21ST, 2016. I CAN SEND ALL VIDEOS TO AN EMAIL BUT IT WILL NOT LET ME UPLOAD IT ON THE WEBSITE. PLEASE NOTE, EVERY TIME THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED, YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEOS, I AM DRIVING AND/OR STATIONED. MORNING, NIGHT, TURNING, DRIVING FORWARD, AND REVERSING EVEN. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND/OR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND I COULD NOT FIND ANY. I HONESTLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH UNDER 9K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOUD BANGING NOISE FROM THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AT THE END OF DECEMBER 2015 WITH 100 MILES ON IT. BY THE END OF JUNE, I NOTICED WHEN I WOULD BRAKE I WOULD FEEL VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET, ANY MILEAGE OVER 55. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE RESURFACED. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN TOWARDS THE END OF JANUARY 2016. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER ON FEBRUARY 5, 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT HONDA WOULD ONLY PAY FOR ONE OF THESE PROCEDURES AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE OTHER. I ASKED THE SALESMAN IF THIS WAS AN FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WITH HONDA? WERE THE ROTORS OR BRAKES INEXPENSIVE? HE ASKED THAT MOST LIKELY WAS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF HONDAS ON THE ROAD. THIS WASN'T A JUSTIFIABLE ANSWER FOR ME SO I ADVISED HIM THAT I WOULD DO MY OWN RESEARCH AND REPORT THIS ISSUE IF NECESSARY.

WITH APPROXIMATELY 4600 MILES VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES SHOWED UP: ANTI LOCKING BRAKE PROBLEM, ACC PROBLEM AND BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEMS. HONDA TOWED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. LOW BATTERY WAS DIAGNOSED AND DEALER INSTALLED NEW BATTERY.

THE 2015 HONDA ACCORD DRIVER AND SHOTGUN-PASSENGER SEATS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE, ESPECIALLY THE LACK OF LUMBAR SUPPORT AND THE PRESENCE OF TERRIBLY ANGLED/DESIGNED HEADRESTS. AFTER THE DRIVING THE CAR FOR NO MORE THAN 45 MINUTES, YOU WILL FIND THAT: 1. YOUR LEFT LEG IS SLEEPING 2. YOUR NECK AND BACK ARE ACHING 3. YOUR HEAD IS ANGLED FORWARD IN AN ABNORMAL FASHION. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. SEE FURTHER COMPLAINTS AT: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2015/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/EXTREMELY_UNCOMFORTABLE_SEATS.SHTML
