2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID Complaints

Honda currently has a recall for Honda Accords 2013-2015, #20V769. I happen to have a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid, but because my particular VIN is not currently shown as affected, they refuse to reimburse me and fix the other side. This issue is related to drive shafts that will break due to corrosion. I was able to fix the broken driver side left axle, but this is clearly a sign that my vehicle was also affected by this manufacture error as it happened the same exact way they described it on the recall. This could have been a much worse accident, luckily I was at a stop sign when it snapped. It simply snapped, no warnings, no lights, nothing.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated that the power steering warning light was illuminated. The contact drove slowly to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and it was diagnosed with needing the rack and pinion to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

MY POWER STEERING UNEXPECTEDLY FAILED. I WAS ON THE ROAD TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND WENT TO MAKE A TURN BUT COULD NOT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT EFFORT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A CAUSE. THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRONIC, AS MY VEHICLE IS A HYBRID.

WHEN CAR PARKS AND KEY INSIDE (IN STATIONARY) AND WHEN YOU LEAVE THE CAR MAY BE AROUND 1 MINUTE, THE DOOR WILL LOCK ITSELF. THIS WOULD LIKELY CREATES SAFETY HAZARDS TO OTHER VEHICLES IF THE VEHICLE HAPPEN TO PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF ROADWAY.

TAKATA RECALL: WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON STATING: "EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM & ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM." THIS SOMEHOW TRIGGER A SAFE FAIL MODE THAT PROHIBITS THE CAR GOING FASTER THAN APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, IT SHOWED DTC P2602 STORED FOR ELECTRIC WATER PUMP LOW VOLTAGE. THEY WERE ABLE TO PERFORM THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP PERFORMANCE AND IT CLEARED THE CODE. BUT WITHIN 24 HOURS, THE DTC RETURNS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T BE ABLE GO FASTER THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR..

REAR DISC BRAKE CALIPERS LOCKED UP CAUSING EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STAY APPLIED TO BRAKES RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKE PAD AND BURNING OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ALSO, BRAKE LOSS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR BATTERY FAILED CAUSING THE BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM TO FAIL. THE SECOND INCIDENT RESULTED IN A COLLISION WITH A PARKED VEHICLE.

2015 HONDA ACCORD GOT CALLED IN FOR RECALL DEALING WITH BATTERY GOING INTO FAILSAFE MODE AND CAUSES CAUSED ENGINE TO STALL THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED IT MADE MATTERS WORST.THE P2602 SENSOR COOLANT PUMP SENSOR NOW SHOWS ON DASH EMISSION PROBLEMS .HONDA SERVICE DEPT NOW WANTS IS TO REPLACE PUMP A HEFTY 900 DOLLAR JOB THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON (IN THE DASHBOARD WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT) AND THE CAR SPEED DROPPED TO LESS THAN 40 M/HR

AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP, A HIGH PITCHED WHISTLING SOUND (THINK DOG WHISTLE) EMITS UPON RAPID ACCELERATION BETWEEN 30 AND 70 MPH. HAVE WORKED WITH HONDA SERVICE DEPTS, ENGINEERS, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SINCE FEBRUARY (ESTIMATED DATE) TO NO RESOLUTION. NOISE BEGAN AROUND 41K MILES AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. IT IS A DISTRACTION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE WHEN DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN SIGNS SUCHS AS "ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM", "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" STARTED DISPLAYING ON DASHBOARD AND SPEED WAS DECREASING AND I COULDN'T SPEED UP. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND SIGNS WERE GONE. I DROVE HOME FINE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.
