2015 Honda Accord: battery drain or dead battery

Filed Feb 28, 2026 · Electrical · IN

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

Filed Nov 13, 2025 · Electrical, Steering · OH

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.

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

Vehicle battery died , no warning about health of battery

Filed Jan 20, 2019 · NJ

Car battery issues. Won't hold a charge. Will not start at random weekly. Just clicks even after driving for 30 mins and returning to car. Took it to dealer, battery good, alternator good, starter good. 2days later happens again. Especially after putting in fuel. Turn car on, battery dead. Ridiculous. Take it back to dealer. All diagnostics good. Go to work, come out to leave battery dead. Get a jump from co worker, drive home. Next morning dead. Take it to autozone for charge, battery low on charge. Get battery charged 4 hours, drive to ny & back home. Go out to 7eleven battery dead, click click. Autozone or dealer refuse to sell battery because battery reads good. What's the issue. Honda without even checking car says it's a major issue with 'these' cars and $700 for new battery and alternator!!! For what? Ford dealer (where purchased) gave the 'all good' as did autozone testing.

I received the notice of the recall for the battery sensor and took the car in august but the dealer said that they didn't have the part. Next maintenance in november I reminded them of the recall on the battery and they gave me the temporary fixing. Shortly after this the battery started to fail. I would have my car parked and it wouldn't turn on. This has been more constant now. Went back to the dealer march 7, 2018 and I mentioned about the battery and they told me the battery was fine that nothing was wrong with it.on the third day after my battery died 2 times after having it off for less then 10 minutes. And had to jump start it. I have seen that many have said the solution is to buy a new battery but the car is just 2 years since I bought it new and my mileage is not even 40,000 miles yet. Honda should be the one to fix this.

Rear brake wear- 2015 accord 4dr. We needed to have the car serviced at 42k miles because the original battery died. During inspection we were told that the rear brakes were "almost metal on metal". Service manager lied and told my wife that this was "normal for newer cars". Brake wear is generally 70/30 front to rear, never rear brakes first. Upon further inspection, only 1 out of the 4 rear pads was worn down to 2mm, and the other 3 were at least 4mm. This clearly indicating a mechanical problem or frozen caliper. Very disappointed in my dealer and honda.

Battery died suddenly, without warning. On 1/1/2018, I drive to the gas station on my way to the airport. I turned my car off and noticed that pump was out of of order so started my car and drove to another pump without issue. I filled up my tank, which took about 4 gallons of gas, then when I tried so start my car it would not start. I have push button start and all of the electronics worked but the ignition would not turn over. The dash blinked. I tried 3 more times and the brake pedal felt very tight and the car still would not start. This left me stranded at the gas station. I had to call roadside rescue. When the guy jumped my battery he said my battery was so low that when I turn my car off next time it would not start again. This is at 6am in the morning on a holiday, and I'm supposed to be parking my car for 5 days st the airport. I had to cancel my flight and find a place to buy a new battery that same day, without having to turn my car off. The battery cost almost $200. This car was purchased brand new from dealer so it had the original battery that came with the car within. I also have all maintenance done at dealer, most recently two months previous, where all things checked were listed as ok. This car was purchased in july 2015. The battery should not have failed so quickly. The car had 56,165 at the time of battery failure. There was no warning. The car has never not started. This was very dangerous. I know about the recall on the battery sensor, and we received the temporary fix and will get the permanent fix during our next maintenance, however I find it strange that my battery failed in between. I've never, since I've owned a car, had to replace a car battery in just 2.5 years of usage.

The 12-volt battery sensor caused my battery to overcharge and spill out most of the battery acid and corroded the cables. The sensor failed to alert me of the battery's state of charge and and now I have a dead battery. Honda of morgan hill will not replace my battery even though it was cased by the faulty sensor. They are having me pick up my car with a dead battery and will not replace it until I pay for a new battery. Yes, my car is passed the 36k miles but the battery and car is only 2 years old.
