2015 Honda Accord electrical problems

Filed Aug 28, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · CA

this has actually been a problem since I first got the car in 2015 but probably started happening in 2016. but it happens so intermittently that I hardly thought about it or figured it just needed a new battery. but I changed the battery and it is still happening where the car won't start. I have to push the button repeatedly or put the car in N to get it to start. eventually it works but I'm worried about an electrical issue causing a fire. when it doesn't start all the lights on the dashboard light up. I keep trying and eventually it works. as I said, I'm afraid it will cause a fire. I called honda and they said some cars were recalled for starter issues but not my vin number. seems like if other Hondas had issues mine would too.

In my 2015 Honda Accord. The ABS, adaptive cruise control, vehicle stability assist, power steering, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, traction control, hill start assist, and brake system dash lights have all been intermittently coming on and off starting right around 150k miles. Now all of the lights have been on for some time now. I spoke to AutoNation Honda and Chapman Honda here in Tucson and both dealerships said it was a known VSA module issue with Honda. One quoted a $3,700 fix while the other estimated the job to be about $3,800. Technicians at AutoNation Honda confirmed that my Accord has the 32-11 ABS Solenoid Valve Malfunction, and the 85-01 VSA Module Malfunction codes that are directly related to the weak solder used by Honda on these modules. It’s unbelievable that this has been a known issue with Honda’s VSA/ABS modules, and nothing can be done because the cars regular brakes can still be used. This issue directly affects almost every safety function this car came with. Everything is disabled. It’s really unfortunate that this known issue can be labeled as normal wear.

First time my 2015 Accord 4dr FWD V6 AT failed to turn, I was coming out of parking area onto busy highway when I suddenly wasn't able to turn steering wheel to right enough to complete the turn and crossed over oncoming traffic lane to opposite shoulder. I parked and tried turning both directions while stationary, and was able to get full range to the left smoothly, but continued to meet complete resistance slightly right of center. There were no warnings whatsoever and the car operated normally prior to this incident. After about 4 minutes of sitting, I restarted car and noticed steering was restored both directions, firmer when moving and very smooth when parked. I took it home and had independent mechanic diagnose and troubleshoot with no answers other than possibly suspension or alignment. I replaced suspension components, got 4-wheel alignment, and steering was firm, responsive, and didn't lock up again for about 200 miles. The next time the steering acted up was when my son was driving back from church and couldn't turn left, again without warning. This time the car kept going straight and he was able to stop before hitting a large metal post. I brought the car home on a trailer. There were no codes, warning lights, sounds, smells, or any other indications of malfunction leading up to this failure. Over the next 2 months, I drove short trips within 8 miles of home on not busy streets and found no specific trend; this steering failure is recurrent, intermittent, and spontaneous, sometimes with stutter in turn. I'm not sure if it's related to known magnet problem or electrical/electronic issue. Obstructs evasive maneuvers. If we were on a mountain (not uncommon if hiking, sightseeing, visiting loved ones, or traveling), this car would have taken my family over the side of steep drop-off or crashed into cliff. Either way, cars don't abruptly transition from horizontal to sharp vertical, and this issue poses severe threat to lives and high probability of injury.

Same complaint as others with ABS Module failing. I’ve been going to Honda dealerships for the past 4 years feeling like my car just wasn’t riding right. No one ever mentioned anything about this problem. Last visit was 3 weeks ago at Walker Honda in Alexandria La. and same thing…car is perfect no problems found. 2 weeks later all these lights came on the dash same as the others and they never mentioned this problem! I’m a single grandmother raising 2 grandchildren (with no help), taking care of disabled mother and work for the state so I don’t make much money. This is my only vehicle. I love my Honda but seriously thinking of going with another brand for the fact these Honda dealerships don’t disclose this to you. Every dealership I’ve gone to has never mentioned this problem everyone seems to have with the same Honda vehicle with the same problem! Honda care…after they get the money for that vehicle they’re done unless there is more money to make off you.

FCW warning lights - "system failed" - repeatedly flashing along with several other warning lights - steering, brake , ABS, LDW - suddenly appeared. This is an ABS module fail. From all the research I have done, this is a reoccuring problem in Hondas. The wiring is too small, delicate and the part / module needs to be recalled and replaced with more substational wiring . This is very dangerous and extremely frightening for a driver as there is no warning other than when lights appear. An individual has no ability to know if the car is safe to drive, both for themself and for others on the road! RECALL - REPLACE !

Having a huge amount of probable parasitic drain. Can’t figure out where it’s coming from but killing a brand new battery in weeks

Driving and without warning steering light came on, display flickered, engine surged, and complete loss of steering in a matter seconds. I was barely able to turn car onto a driveway where the engine shutdown. I restarted engine and noticed considerable knocking, put car in gear and engine shut-off. I had car towed to a garage and am waiting for info. I should note that the previous month there has been some parasitic draw that requires me to jump start the car every few days even with a new battery.

System charging error prompts on the dash board continuously. Check my battery and it’s not my battery. Steering wheel light turned on and car began to lock and the whole dashboard started to flicker while I was driving . I was driving and my steering wheel locked on me always causing an accident. I tried getting a jump and my battery is fine. Then when I try to move the vehicle the steering wheel starts to lock up. My radio even started to reset and glitch and my system was shutting back on and off while I was driving.
