Battery has been replaced 3 times. Starter is failing. It sometimes takes up to 15 minutes or more to crank my car making me late for work. Running errands/getting in & out of the car & having to turn the key 50 times in the heat of summer with a baby in the car is a safety hazard. Fuel pump issue when I put my car in reverse & start to back up, my car will die. Another safety hazard because I don’t have control of my car, it just keeps rolling backwards after it dies & doesn’t allow me to get out of the way if another vehicle is coming. Information center on the dashboard often tells me to check fuel cap. Anything happening in the fuel area is certainly hazardous. I’ve called the Honda dealership & they tell me my car is no longer under warranty. Yes, everything is available for inspection. The starter problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. The fuel cap notification appeared 2 weeks ago but the car has been dying in reverse for 2 years. The starter began failing 4 months ago with no help from the Honda dealership due to my warranty being expired.
2015 Honda Accord electrical complaints
Page 3 of 9: complaints 41 to 70 of 237, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After having my Honda Accord sport 2015 4 cylinder, I started to notice around 90k miles an occasional grinding noise when starting the car that is getting progressively worse. I've had previous Hondas with many more miles and never had this issue before. I believe the issue is the starter, but I have not been able to take it to the mechanic yet. I intend to go this weekend. I'd like to also state there have been numerous reports regarding starters for a V6 engine, and I believe it is the same for 4 cylinders.
My car will randomly say check charge system. I have got my battery and alternator both tested and they're both at Perfect working capacity I Google the problem and I found out there has been a recall in the past on the same issue with 2013 to 2016 models. And my car is having the same electrical issue my car runs and drive fine it does not turn off or anything but it just keeps on showing check charge system. The past recalls has been in the Rusted salt belt area and that is where I am in Massachusetts. It is the battery connector issue. Is the sensor that connects to the battery I guess that has been faulty in the past and other cars and has been in multiple 9th gen Honda Accords. And my car keeps having the same issue even though my battery and alternator are perfect. How do I get Honda to fix this.
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!
The electric steering pump
The vehicle has had several incidents where it won't start when the ignition button is pushed. The dashboard lights come on, but they run through and say that all the ADAS systems are inoperable. This has o cured numerous times I per the years and still hasnt been fixed.
Car intermiittantly does not start Has happened at least four times this month(Jan 2023). Had battery and alternator checked they are fine.. Sometimes will start on second try. Car only has 44,400 miles on it. Have read hundreds of complaints for the same issue. It is time for a recall on a defective part.
Like many others, I have had starter problems on my 2015 Honda Accord. It has less than 50,000 miles and is kept in a garage. The starter should not need to be replaced so soon and I believe it is defective.
Ignition switch takes multiple times to start now just failed
Vehicle failing to start consistently. Battery is fine. No noise is heard when moving key to start. Either starter or ignition is bad. Concern about being stranded.
6/24/2022 I was driving my 2015 Honda Accord with 65k miles when the car had no power, unable to accelerate, and limited steering. The following warning lights went on : Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Vehicle Stability System Indicator, Electric Power Steering System Indicstor, and Low Tire Pressure indicator (new tires last week). I let the car sit for awhile and restarted it with the same warnings showing. Very scary and unsafe to suddenly lose power and steering. I had just returned from a trip on a mountain road and busy highway which could have had deadly results. My car is a 2015 with 65 thousand miles on it- how does something this dangerous occur?
Back up camera black screen, safety issue.
Starter is inconsistent. Looked online and many customers have complained about it. It’s not just a starter it’s a flaw in the design. Looks like other parts need to be replaced in order to correct the issue. This should be a recall.
Possible starter/electrical issue when trying to start vehicle. Will start up with no problems at time and then others it will only click and display all dash lights. At times it will take only a few attempts and then it will start while other times it takes several minutes to start. This has been an issue leaving you stranded in a excessively hot vehicle oftentimes with small children in car seats in the back with no air. Dealers say this is a common issue with this make and model although no recall has been put in place. This issue first began in 2020 and has been intermittent since then.
Backup camera doesn’t work anymore it gives me a black screen. I’ve seen multiple people with this problem on the same car this a safety hazard because of the camera not allowing me to see what’s behind me. Car is also fairly new with 45000 miles.
2015 accord with 39000 mi. has had a starter motor fail, this apparently a common problem.
Intermittent starting of car. Push button start works inconsistently. All lights on dashboard light up and system sometimes makes clicking sound. Have been stranded numerous times. I often times have young grandchildren in car so this is a safety issue.
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.
The car will fail to start on random occasions, I needed to get gas an the car would not restart after shutting off for fueling. The car will also not restart after car washes and stall the operation of the wash.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that since she owned the vehicle, the battery had failed on three separate occasions. The first two batteries were replaced by independent mechanics; however, on the latest failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer. Despite another battery replacement, the failure occurred again five months later. The contact sent an email to the manufacturer and received a case number. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was unknown.
Car does not start all the time. After a few attempts it will start. Some times it starts without issue. This vehicle is unreliable and can leave you stranded. Regretting my purchase. Car only has 44k miles. Pathetic
Ignition switch failed and had to be replaced. Car only has 65,000 miles. This must be a manufacturing defect, but American Honda refuses to accept any responsibility.
This car started having starting problem , I replaced the battery but that didn't help at all. It take two to three attempts to start after driving a little while.
Purchased Used 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid from Dealer March 25, 2021. Vehicle ran clean for two months, but now in the last month and a half, vehicle randomly will not start on 3 separate occasions. During these incidences vehicle will also not give power to door locks, etc, leaving driver stranded with no way to lock themselves in the vehicle for safety if necessary. Vehicle is keyless/push-button start. Battery tests good. ***Incident 1: Vehicle did not start on 88 degree day. No accessory power either. Would not power door locks. Left my 17 year old daughter stranded in excessive heat, in a Metro area parking lot until I could get to her two hours later. Multiple attempts to start the vehicle/pressing brake/start button with key fob next to start button. Replaced batteries in Key fobs with no change. Vehicle started with a jump. ***Incident 2: Similar to 1st incident, vehicle randomly would not start, no accessory power or power to door locks. Again, very hot and humid evening. Multiple attempts were made to push-button-start the vehicle with key fob well within area to start it. Called someone to come get us but continued attempts to start the car. It randomly started after about 45 minutes. Battery indicator on dashboard indicates good charge on battery. Left our family stranded in a rural area in the dark with excessive heat during this time. ***Incident 3: Vehicle will not start when pressing brake, start button, and key fob close by. My daughter was stranded again in 89 degrees outside. I picked her up with no success in starting the vehicle. Car's still sitting. ** There is no 'suspicious' activity of the vehicle before this happens. Completely random. New batteries in fobs. Concerned this could develop into a bigger problem of these models I've discovered; stalling while driving. (??) It appears our problem is large enough that there are public videos online about this. Hopefully we can rectify this as it poses a risk to stranded motorists left alone.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start without warning. There was an abnormal clicking sound detected. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the starter needed to be replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.
Took my sister to a car dealership to look at a car and had my car running for a couple of hours due to me having kids and it was hot out. And I accidentally turned my car off and car wouldn’t start back up it kept saying key fob was missing and the key was hanging up on my rear view mirror. Had to literally wait 10 minutes before car would start back up. Honda really needs to get that fixed A.S.A.P that was definitely a scary experience for me especially having my two young kids with me. I can’t afford to be stranded somewhere.
Vehicle does not start 100% of the time. The safety issue is that being stranded, when it doesn't start , with small children in a rural area is dangerous. The dealer as well as Honda has no solution for the problem. Repairs suggested have all been made and the problem still exists. I know nothing will be done because of this letter, but whomever is reading this I would suggest that you not purchase a Honda product if you care for your family.

My 2015 Honda accord has been giving me problems For more than three years already so every time I turn it on there is a beep three times as soon as I turn on the ignition key then now in Often the car does not turn on, so I have to wait like 30 minutes so the car will start again, also about three times all the lights on the windchill had turn off including the radio in the phone chargers everything was pure black and it was in the middle of the night so I couldn’t see nothing on my way home That’s when I had to stop on the right shoulder on the freeway 14 because I couldn’t see to drive with no lights so I turn off the car and wait for a couple of minutes then the car turn on and the lights went back on and actually today I had to call the towing truck to pick me up to take it to the mechanic because it was not turning on not even after 30 minutes but after two hours the car turn on this happened when I was on the gas station putting gasAnd when I try to turn it on after putting gas that’s when the car didn’t wanna start I was in Arcadia city California and we were almost 90° and it was really hot with no shade and I was all by myself no where to go I am very tired of this and I am scared if this happened when I am in the intersection when there’s a lot of traffic, it seems that this problem is been happening very often now it’s been getting worse and worse,
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the horn started honking independently, without warning. The contact stated that she pressed the horn pad and the honking ceased temporarily. The failure recurred. The contact called brannon honda (300 gadsden hwy, birmingham, al 35235) and was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was provided a diagnostic fee to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Ignition key turned and only heard a click. Had to turn off and on many times for it to eventually start engine, if lucky. Did not even hear the engine crank. Best guess is starter failure.
