2015 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

Car goes into like a safety mode and does not accelerate when given gas. Car also will not go past 40mph. We see there is a recall for this issue for 2015 Honda accords but vin says it does not apply for this recall even though we are having the exact issue.

I am reporting a critical safety issue with my 2015 Honda Accord that poses a significant risk to my safety and that of others on the road. Although my VIN is not currently included in the active recall for the fuel pump affecting 2013-2017 Honda Accords, my vehicle is experiencing symptoms consistent with the issues described in the recall. Incident Details: On 9/28/2024, while driving, my vehicle suddenly lost power. It was limited to approximately 2,500 RPM and a speed of 40-45 MPH. This unexpected loss of power could have resulted in a severe accident, especially if I had been on a freeway or in heavy traffic where other drivers would not have anticipated my sudden deceleration. Diagnostic Findings: I took the vehicle to a mechanic, who scanned the fault code as DTC P0087 (Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low), confirming that the fuel pump is malfunctioning. The car can be made available for inspection upon request. Previous Condition: Prior to this incident, there were no warning lights or indications of a fuel system issue or any other issue. The sudden failure of the fuel pump has rendered my vehicle undriveable for over a week. Service Challenges: I reached out to the dealership for inspection and potential repairs; however, they quoted me $250 for the inspection and indicated there is a shortage of necessary parts, with a potential wait time of several months. This delay is unacceptable, given the safety risks involved. Conclusion: Given the correlation between my vehicle’s symptoms and the ongoing recall for fuel pump failures, I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue further. I believe my vehicle should be included in the recall, as it shares the same safety risks outlined in the active recall. This situation poses a significant risk not only to myself but also to other drivers on the road. Thank you for addressing this serious safety concern. I look forward to your prompt action.

Getting error P2602 Low Voltage Coolant Pump. No visible sings of failure or damage to the pump or wiring. Tested power, ground, and signal and found them all to be ok. Vehicle has 133,000 miles. Engine is not running hot at all. Very cool to the touch, error P2602 causes car to go into limp mode and can not drive past 40 mph. Issue could be from Pump recalls from other honda models that used the same pump that is in the 2015 Honda Hybrids. Honda did not include 2015 Honda Hybrid in the recall when they should have, because its the same pump that was recalled in other hondas. Took the car to dealer in Auburn, WA, Hinshaw's Honda. Please get report from them. To get a second opinion took car to an independent Honda repair. Again same issue, stating pump replacement.

While driving on interstate highway at normal speed (55-60 mph), all dash warning lamps lit up and i could hear a rattling sound and saw white smoke coming out of exhaust/back of car. Luckily i was able to safely pull car over as engine failed. I checked underneath car to see if anything was loose and did not notice anything. My car needed to be towed since engine was dead. Independent mechanic confirmed that engine rod bolts blew out and an entirely new engine was needed. All proper maintenance was completed and car was running fine with no warning lights or sounds/problems noticed prior to time of incident.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated when the vehicle started, the MIL warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that previously, while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the odor had gotten lighter over the passing days. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with fuel line failure. The contact was informed that the fuel line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the parts were ordered. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

The charging system pops up on my dashboard even though I replaced the battery charging sensor and the battery. I got the alternator check and it was good so but the car stalls on me from time to time when I take off or when am driving.

Intermittent start of vehicle. Will drive fine even for a couple of hours. I stop for 10 minutes to go to store. Then its all dead. No power. Cannot even open the doors with my key fob. Tried pressing start - break pedal is hard. Called AAA. He did not have to jump start. I just kept pressing start. All of a sudden vehicle starts again like nothing happened. Its been fine so far for a week now. Happened twice already - same scenario. Drove it for an hour or so, then after stopping for 10 minutes its completely dead. Then will start again after several attempts -pressing the start button. Took it to Honda dealer. They cannot replicate the problem. Checked my starter, battery, alternator -did a multi-point inspection. Dealer said there are no errors. Cannot find any problem with my vehicle. They said to wait till it happens again and get it towed there dead. That's a terrible solution!

The car is having starter issues. At times I can push the button and it will start right up. Then sometimes it takes several clicks. This a safety concern especially in a dangerous situation. There have been several complaints about this and Honda had yet to do anything. Hopefully someone addresses this soon!

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the engine made an abnormal ticking sound. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where an oil change was performed; however, the abnormal ticking sound became significantly louder. There was no warning light illuminated. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the engine had failed. The contact stated while driving 45-50 MPH two hours later, the failure recurred, and the vehicle shuddered and stalled in the middle of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove 50 feet into a gas station driveway, where the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The Subaru dealer where the vehicle was purchased from, was contacted, and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under an Extended Warranty due to the mileage. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V121000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). Additionally, the contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance Warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

My car has been reliable other than standard maintenance; oil changes, brake pad changes, etc. On Friday, April 12 2024, I was driving down the highway at 60-70 mph when the engine felt like it lost power for half a second and I saw the RPMs rev up and then drop down when this "skipping" occurred. It happened several times and made me feel very unsafe in a high speed situation if I suddenly lost all engine power. I drove straight to my mechanic - they did not experience the skipping at low speeds on a test drive, but they recommended a transmission fluid flush. On draining the fluid, they said it was clean but had more metallic debris than would be expected for a usual transmission service. I drove the car over the weekend and the same engine loss of power was evident, but happened infrequently. Then on Monday, April 15 2024, the engine was losing power on the highway again and on the dash, a "D3" code was blinking. I went back to the mechanic, at low speeds, where they determined the transmission needs to be replaced - upon speaking with their Honda contact, this is becoming a known problem where transmissions are needing replacement in the 60-90k mile range. My car is at about 78k miles, we did have the transmission serviced at 34k miles and then not again until Friday the 12th - however there were no warning signs/sounds or error codes until the power loss on the highway and finally, the error code on Monday. The car is currently at the repair garage awaiting the expensive, replacement transmission and is available for further inspection.
