I’ll start by saying my car is impeccably maintained at the Honda dealership! I have reached out to Honda and even emailed the hard of Honda motor corp in Japan and my cars problems. In the last 16 months my car has trouble starting , failed to start on several times , and for [XXX] reason the battery charging issue light comes on , as well as forward control warning light . It began last spring 2022. I need the main and rear seal replaced , a new battery eve though mine wasn’t a year old and was purchased and installed at the Honda dealer, it also needed a new alternator. Within 10-15 minutes of driving all the dashboard lights flashed smoke poured out of the engine.the car overheated while I was driving in the highway ! I was stranded in busy highway traffic . I also had a new battery cable replaced. That was between march and April of last year. All is documented and reported to Honda. Highly unusual for a 7 year old car with 50,000 to need 2 seals, a new battery each year for 3 years in a row , a new battery cable , and alternator . I also reported the car isn’t driving well . 1 year later and I need another alternator and a starter! In March The car wasn’t starting it made clicking noises - it needed a starter and now in July it the battery charging issue light was again flashing and needed another alternator . My car is nether safe nor reliable . There is no doubt my car has MAJOR electrical issues that are ongoing and unresolved.it is NOT just my Honda accord.the records show this.Please do something .I can not afford a new car . Honda says they are about safety but they are NOT ! With so many ongoing electrical problems it is not if but when something will happen. I’ve made it clear to honda and now you that we the consumer need help from the ongoing honda electrical issues plaguing the accords before there are fatalities. Also, do more psa letting consumers know they need to report issue on your site- o didnt know and I am pretty savvy . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AC
Problems began at 50,000 miles and now at 60,000 a year and 1/2 later they are ongoing . Electrical and engine …. Honda knows all the problems bless I am having are in many of their models! This is DANGEROUs and Honda is negligent ! First it was my car wouldn’t start. The alternator went also It needed to have the front and rear seal replaced . That is crazy ! It must be leaking oil and needed the seals due to improper torque. Had that repaired and within 2 weeks I kept saying it wasn’t running right. THEN My car overheated after driving for 10 min on a busy highway in Atlanta. Smoke pouring out of the hood. I was trapped and couldn’t get out because of traffic. HORRIFIC experience.! Electrical issue began at 50,000 miles at the same time . Electrical issues ongoing AND engine does not run right. It’s rough loud , judders , it can be sluggish or no responsive, Last year my car had 50,000 miles. It had gone through a battery every year and 1-2. Then 16 months ago it wouldn’t start. Since I have replace the starter , alternator , battery and battery cable. In individual events of warning lights or failing to start. Today the charging systems warning light and fcw light flashed while driving. The electrical system in this car is a known problem. It MUST be recalled. The 4cl has now time to recall the v-6 for torque and parasitic battery drain . This is potential for fire , car sudden loss of power it’s negligent to not recall . I have invoice after invoice but the problem persists . Why are you only recalling the 4L engine ? There is a class action about battery drain but only for 4 L? I know the didnt produce many accord V6 but the V6 is used in the Acura and I believe the Odysse. I have called and called Honda . I emailed the head of Honda in Japan . He sent my email back to the dealer. This is my 4th Honda. We were an entire Honda family but not any more . Safety is not first .My accord problems will result in a terrible accident . Please do something
Multitude of dash warning lights are on. Honda dealership says the Modulator assembly needs replaced. They say its backordered and have no idea when to expect it. I have seen on the internet that other customers are asking the same question. It seems dangerous since I have no idea or what safety systems are working.
Warning lights on dash (ABS, Brake, Steering, FCW, LDW, Slip/traction control) all came on at the same time, every time I started the car. Brought to van York Honda in high point, NC. and they diagnosed as having faulty VSA modulator-control unit. -ALL WARING LIGHTS ARE ON UNDER THE -DASH -SUB RELAY BOX -VSA MODULE 10H0Z1 COMPLAINT: DIAGNOSE ELECTRICAL UNDERDASH SUB RELAY BOX 23H0ZZBRAKE10 COMPLAINT: ABS CONCERN VSA MODULATOR There are so many other people reporting the same issues! Honda recalled the VSA Modulator in previous models (not accord) so can we all agree that there needs to be a push to recall this issue and Honda should Be fixing it! 7.5 yr old car that can’t use any ABS or VSA because Honda is not supplying a key safety module. The quote fix the so called issue is over $2,600 dollars! Is someone going to have to be seriously hurt or killed before anything is done??? PLEASE LISTEN to the consumers who put their trust in your name: HONDA and spend their hard earned money on your products and FIX THIS! Every time I check this website, there are more complaints about the exact same issues in models of your Honda Accord by the day! Your swift acknowledgment of our voices NOW (too rectify this issue & issue a recall is a heck of a lot better than a multi million dollar lawsuit that could come your way when people start to get seriously hurt/killed etc!) The ball is in your court now!
While driving home from work, taking my usual country highway, suddenly my car took a sharp turn out of nowhere. I did not brake but tried to steer myself back to my lane. The vehicle jerked that direction, then jerked back the other way. I went back and forth four or five times before very carefully slowing down and pulling the car to the side of the road. Thankfully, no other vehicles were beside or coming toward me, or I am sure this would have resulted in an accident. Multiple dash symbols were lit up and remained on after turning off the car and on again. These were Vehicle Stability Assist, Electric Power Steering, Low Tire Pressure, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning. I waited on the side of the road until a tow truck could pick it up. The service center told us after their test drive that there is nothing wrong with this vehicle. Nothing has been done, and I fear the next time the vehicle decides to "act up."
Warning lights on dash (ABS, Brake, Steering, FCW, LDW, Slip/traction control) all came on at the same time, every time I started the car. Brought to Holler Honda Winter Park, FL and they diagnosed as having faulty VSA modulator-control unit. Part has not been available for over 2 years and don't know when will be available. Dangerous, but told fine to drive car just not to jam on brakes! Doesn't sound safe to me. NO stability control! Miraculously found Honda part at Honda dealer in NJ by searching online after Holler gave me part number. Paid over $900 to buy part/shipping. Brought to Holler to fix. Within 2 weeks had 2 VERY close calls where drivers cut right in front of me almost causing collision and causing me to have to jam on my brakes. BUT...FCW and ABS didn't work. FCW never alerted me to possible collision (used to work perfectly for over 7 years I've had the car) and ABS did not work (brakes locked up and I skidded but miraculously stopped in time). Brought back to Holler Honda and they plugged it in to computer and 1st told me that I had turned off the FCW (I wouldn't know how to do this even if it were possible), then when they could not show me how to turn it back on (because I don't have the ability to turn it off) they told me I must not have FCW (I do) and that the ABS was working just fine (it's not). After speaking with HONDA NA and sharing the info with them, they told me that I did in fact have FCW and that no one could find anything wrong with the car. I think I bought a bad "new" VSA mod. but since Honda refuses to issue a recall when I told them about the problem, I will never know and now can't do anything about it. I know I'm not the only one driving around with a potentially dangerous car because this repair cannot be done and there is an "indefinite, nation-wide waiting list" on the part (due to supply issues). Spent over $1400 to basically have all the warning lights turned off and the car NOT repaired.
While driving my FCW lights came and said failure. I took my car to an independent service center and they confirmed that many Hondas with the same year have had this same problem. Told me that he wouldn't even be able to repair because the part needed to fix the light from coming on was unavailable all across the world. So many Hondas have had this same issue and needed to repair this issue that it's unavailable. I had the car less than one year after I bought it used with less than 95,000 miles. I've owned 5 other Honda accords that would go forever and have 200,000+ miles without any issues. I've already had to place my alternator 5 times and starter as well.
April 2021 while driving dash guages stopped. No speedometer, no rpm, no temperature. Flashing fcw system failed began to flash. Multiple warning lights appeared. Check engine, power steering, break, abs, fcw, ldw, airbag, vsa and tpms. Honda of Gainesville in Florida has had my car for almost a year. No fix. Replaced engine harness, engine fusebox, computer, and cluster. To no avail. Now they say I need an interior fuse box and entire interior wiring harness. I believe they are just guessing at this point. According to honda internet forums this is a common issue with many years and models. No fix. This has been reported by many honda owners as a safety issue that should be recalled. It is incredibly unsafe to drive this vehicle with all these systems in fail. Please review. Photos and documents attached.
Try starting my honda accord 2015 after church and fcw system failed popped up with other lights. Every time I started my car it would automatically turn off again. And once again popped up fcw system with ldw system failed. Car didn't start so I had aaa tow it to my house. When I got home I try starting it again and it started with same lights. Fcw,ldw,low tire pressure,electric power steering and malfunction indicator lamp. Going to call honda department today. Hopefully they will be able to fix the problem. I've been doing some research and seen a lot of people have the same problem. This is the last thing I need to be worried about. On top of covid-19 and losing my job. Now my car going out. I will think twice before purchasing another honda. Honda please fix the problem.
Brakes locked up on dry road fcw system failed ABS light traction control light engine light parking brake light ldw light all came on within two weeks lights coming off and on diagnosis from honda dealership car requires new ABS module for $1800 however part is on national back order and I am required to drive the car without a functioning ABS system for several months this part should not have to be replaced brakes have been locking up loud clunking system from underneath car front suspension. This is extremely unsafe to have these cars on the road I work in home health care and have to drive for work however I'm unable to afford a rental car and honda will not provide me with a loaner car until this problem can be fixed recall should be issued for these unsafe vehicles
Car will not start, fcw/ldw light on cranks over but will not start after about ten tries it will finally start with check engine light, tire pressure monitor flashing, fcw, ldw lights on and the message display says fcw failure. After system is re set with a scanner it has done it three more times, honda does not seem to know what is wrong with the car.
Rear camera stop working for no reason and forwards collision doesn't work well when it's hot.
I got my car brand new off the lot.ive had it for 5 years now.every day in summer my camera in the windshield gets overheated.now I have a code3 camera /collision detection failed notice flashing and my fcw and ldw lights on .I feel it has a default in the windshield camera from being over heated all these years
Loss of engine power, no acceleration while engaging the gas foot pedal, shacking of car and unable to accelerate. First time, vehicle was in motion on a city street second time, while turning to merge on to freeway ramp and continues to do it soon after starting the vehicle and becoming mobile on city streets.
In the last year my car has not turned on 3 times. When I push the start button it just clicks and all the warning lights come on. Only after many attempts and waiting more than half hour it finally turns on with all warning lights. In july, we changed the battery. Thinking this might be the problem. It was not. Again today the car would not start and all the warning lights are on. I took it to the dealer who is charging me $150!to do a diagnostic check. I purchased the car in 2015 brand new. It currently has 35k miles. A car with few miles and only 4 yrs old should not be giving any problems. Even less having to pay for a diagnostic or manufacturing related problems.
I drove my car for 10 minutes and then stop at the gas station to put some gas then after I tried to turn it on again but my car will not start and then after waiting for more than 30 minutes he did finally start but all the lights were still on then I drove it for another five minutes and stop the car to park and then wait for five minutes and then the car start again but the lights were off this time I'm not sure if this is safe but it's been doing this for more than three times already I don't know what to do.
On going starting problem. For the last several month every time in the mornings it hesitate to start. Sometime it take seven or more try to get the car started by putting in to neutral, turning the steering wheel, pump the brake etc. Don't know why and how and who will be responsible to correct this problem?
2015 honda has intermittent issues with starting. I hear a click and then it doesn't start. My radio shows and so do my dash lights. It doesn't seem to be resetting my radio clock. I plug a jumper pack in and it immediately starts. I took it to autozone and my battery is 100%. I took it to the honda dealership and they state that my battery, starter, and alternator are working great. They say there is nothing wrong with my car, but once I leave to stop in to a store for 10 minutes, it suddenly won't start again. It is happening just out of the warranty period. I bought this certified used in june last year and this is my third battery. I am jumping my car regularly each day as I drive around.
Recall vehicle was stationary at a gas pump
For the past few months my car has been having trouble turning on. I have had to call geico for a jump start on multiple occasions already. Sometimes when I press the power button, it struggles to turn on and I have to try multiple times. Other times it won't turn on unless I use the remote start option with my key. The car has never turned off on my while I am driving, but a few times while I am driving, the display restarts and it startles me because it goes completely blank as if the car is going to shut off.
Towards the end of 2017, I had my honda accord service as a result of the battery defect recall. After such repair, my vehicle stalled on a busy highway back in february 2018. I bought the car new and it had approximately 45,000 miles the honda dealer stated it was the alternator and charged me to repair it . However, on 4/1/18 the car stalled once again and I the engine would not start. I have researched this issue and it appears the too many 2015 honda accords are having the same problem following the battery defect recall. This is a safety risk, since the vehicle loses all power leaving one vulnerable to bing hit by other vehicles when the car stalls. My car panel/ system does not give any warning prior to shutting down all power while the car is on motion. Once the car stalls, one can not turn the engine back on. I truly believe that this has to be investigated before some one is killed as a result that f this defect on the honda accord.
When the car starts driving first thing in the morning on cold days there there a brief buzzing sound coming from the front right side of the car. This is more pronounced and regular when traction control comes on. It didn't happen for the first 2 and half years bit now is is quite common.
During stand still and driving, when I step on acceleration pedal the car often time hesitates to move. To avoid an accident, I have to press hard on acceleration pedal, then she moves too fast. In an another word, I can't control the car speed in the way I want at 60 percent of the time.
When making a lane change at a speed of ~60mph on the highway. The car lost control and jerked towards the left. It zigzagged between the left and middle lane and hit another vehicle twice. Although damage to our honda accord was mainly cosmetic, the engine was dead before/after the collision. The accident occurred in new brighton, mn, and the law enforcement case # is 16507355. We've reported this issue to american honda (case number 04824446) on july 11th, 2016, but didn't receive proper attention. After a simple check and test drive, they claimed there was no issue/defect with the vehicle. Contacted american honda several times but haven't receive any follow-up yet.
Buy grand new 2015 honda accord ex and drving only 67 miles get the check engine light come on when driving on city street indicate thetraction symbol and steering wheel symbol problem . Bring the car back to dealer for fixed and been told that the v-tech solenoid is bad , they have to replace a new one and test drive for 20 miles to see if problem still occur ( don't make any sense )
Honda accord ex-l model equipped with lane watcher camera, this model comes with standard backup camera. In specific situation the camera never turns off creating high distraction. How to produce, turn the engine on ( from a complete stop) put car into reverse that runs the backup camera, immediately turn the right blinker on ( which usually turn the lane watcher camera on) this will confuse the system and resulting even though you put the car in drive mode the back camera never turns of. Its a software glitch. Have taken to the dealer. Technician from dealer spoke to the honda engineers, as advised by the honda engineer technician did same thing on a brand new accord 2015 and ruled it as an expected behavior. As a regular driver every one has habit of using blinker whether you are backing or not. Due to this I can't use the right blinker which has potential for accident and if use this you may end up driving car with back up camera keep rolling this is as dangerous as driving with video playing.
