Almost on a daily basis the car will not start. After several tries it will start as if nothing happened. When I would try to start it, it just clicks, doesn't turn over. All my lights and radio lights turn on except the car. After 2-3 tries it comes on. Then there are some mornings where it starts no problem. Just hit and miss. I am scared of getting stranded somewhere out of the blue! This is a recall problem due to a bad design change of the solenoid in the starter. I also smelled smoke a few times.
2015 Honda Accord electrical complaints
Page 4 of 9: complaints 71 to 100 of 237, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2015 honda accord ex-l v6 will randomly decide not to start. There is no warning and battery has been changed multiple times. It passes all tests for voltage, but just doesn't start at least 3 times a day. Very dangerous, and leaves you unsure of how you will make it home. Causes extreme anxiety.
Centrlock system is acting weird on all doors randomly.
My 2015 accord v6 has a starting problem where the starter will grind several times before the car will start. This happens about every 3 to 5 weeks. The car will eventually start after several attempts. Although this problem does not occur every time, I am concerned I will be stranded.
Engine will not start. 2015 honda accord has about 84k miles. I have been stranded twice now because my car won't start and often requires between 2-4 attempts to start the engine. The cluster lights turn on and everything powered by the battery is working, without the engine starting. I have replaced the battery 3 times (march 2018, january 2020, march 2021). Previous battery was tested and had plenty of voltage left and was charging well, so the alternator is working well. Key fob battery replaced 2 times, most recently december 2020 and is working fine. I believe the starter is defective and I have read countless reports online stating the same issue, and this needs to be investigated and addressed, especially because the part itself is between $150-180 online and the dealership cost to replace this is $1k and above...
Vehicle battery died , no warning about health of battery
Intermittent starting issues - have replaced battery 3 times. Took to honda dealer on 9/8/17 & 12/29/20. Honda stated no issues. Had alternator and starter tested several times at parts store and they tested fine. Issues have increased to leaving me stranded 3 times in 2 weeks. New battery 12/29/20 is not dead and tests fine but car needs jump to start. Car does have remote start and will not start with key or fob.
I have a 2015 honda accord with 51k miles. I had to replace the battery at 40k miles. I recently had the same intermitten starting problem that many of you described. Sometimes I have to turn the ignition key 20 times for the car to start. I brought the car to the honda dealer. They probably saw 100 of similar cases. However, they acted as if my starting problem is a rare case, and charged me $900 to replace the starter. I am disappointed with both honda and the dealer.
At about 48,000 miles I started having intermittent no start situations which rendered the car unreliable. If you turn the key nothing happens. But usually after several attempts the car would start and then the problem would not repeat for several subsequent starts. Then it would reappear. I found a mechanic who located the problem requiring a starter replacement. Honda should recall these vehicles.
My honda accord 2015 has been driven for 48000 miles. I am having problems with the starter. The car doesn't start at times and has become unreliable to drive. This appears to be a problem with many similar model honda. Request honda to take action and resolve this issue for all honda accord owners and continue to keep their brand promise of reliability and quality. My car continues to have this problem and will take it to the dealership.
Car would not start completely one night leaving me stranded. Now intermittent starting issues at less than 33k miles. Very common issue with starter and honda has issued a service bulletin but no recall
My 15 accord exl v4 is about 5 years ago and 68k. Start having issue to start the car. Push the button and break, car doesn't start. Took my car for a check, I was been told I need to replace the starter. I searched online and lots of 9th gen owners are having same issue. Unacceptable for such age car with starter issue
At 52k miles, engine will not crank when key is turned. After several attempts, engine will finally crank and then will start as if nothing were wrong. Happens at least once in every 3-4 times starting engine is attempted.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH, the tire pressure warning light illuminated. The contact inspected the tires and noticed nothing wrong. The next day the contact re-calibrated the system and the warning light was no longer illuminated. The contact then stated that while in reverse the battery sensor light was illuminated and the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact restarted the vehicle however, a little while later while moving the vehicle, the vehicle stalled again. The contact restarted the vehicle again and drove back to the residence. The contact contacted first texas honda (3400 steck ave, austin, tx 78757; (512) 220-1121) who stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,973.
When the push to start button was pressed, the vehicle failed to start. In addition the tire pressure monitoring system indicator illuminated and an abnormal, the car have 60,644 miles. Thank you
Bad alternator keeps causing corrosion on the battery connectors.
When turning on the car engine start but then shuts down. Lights & radio are one multiple lights on dashboard on, check engine, check tire. I attempt to start car again and happens 4 times. When car is finally up and running light on dashboard stay on.
Our 2015 honda accord has developed a starting problem the vehicle has a push button start and more so than not it takes repeated pushes of the start button for the car to crank over. This condition started roughly one month ago and is very concerning to me since it is my wife's car and I don't want her to be stranded because the car doesn't start. When you press the brake and the start button all you hear is a loud click coming from the starter but it doesn't crank over. I have researched the problem and found numerous similar problems with 2013 - 2015 honda accords. This is a safety hazard and honda is being very irresponsible for not stepping up to the plate and admitting it is a very serious problem. Most if not all of the other complaints I've read say it is a starter issue and even the honda dealerships are saying it is a very common problem!!!
At only 38,xxx miles this vehicle has intermittent starting issues. Internet research and mechanic diagnosis indicates that the starter needs to be replaced. It is a known issue at the local dealership, but yet they could not give me a concrete answer as to if replacing the starter will fix the problem long term. With a quoted replacement cost of $1,000 I am leery to have the starter replaced if it does not actually fix the problem. I have been stranded multiple times in the cold because of this issues. A vehicle with only 38,xxx miles and barely out of warranty should not be having these issue. I am okay with fixing a faulty part, but I am not okay with a reoccurring issues not having an exact solution to the problem. Are the starters in these vehicles truly bad or is it something else within the car that is causing the starter to blow? A recall or research outside of honda (because obviously they are ignoring the issues) needs to be rolled out to get to the bottom of, and fix, these starting problems. Starters should not fail prior to 50,000 miles. If they are constantly failing at low mileage, there needs to be a recall done with the option of replacing the original starters with non-faulty parts. If the starters are solid parts as-is, research needs to be done to determine why the starters are failing. At $1,000 per repair, honda is making too much money fixing known safety issues with their vehicles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start intermittently and had to have the vehicle towed several times due to the failure. The contact stated that the following day, the vehicle started and operated as intended. The contact stated that the failure recurred and persisted causing the vehicle to become undriveable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the VIN and that the repair was not covered under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
My starter clicks once when I try to turn the car on, but the car won't turn on. It's an intermittent thing, but has started happening more and more often. I've been stranded now two times because of it.
When putting in reverse or drive, engine stutters and electrical system cuts out and entertainment console reboots. Sometimes the car stalls all together. Replaced the battery and alternator, and problem starts again after a few weeks.
Car takes several tries before it will start
When vehicle is operating it will stall and turn off completely. All car will turn off and all the lights on the dash would flicker. It stalled on me when I was driving on the freeway. My car stopped as I was going 65 MPH, cars behind be swerved as my car came to a complete stop on the freeway. The vehicle also does not start when trying to turn on. All of the lights on the dash will just flicker. I've changed the battery two times. I've got my car diagnose at auto zone and a fuel pump code came up. Took it to honda to tell them my situation paid 130$ for them to tell me nothing is wrong. When they did the diagnose they said nothing came up on their end. Few days later I drove it and my car stalled out again. I took it to auto zone and they said nothing was wrong with my car. I am afraid if I drive it, it will stall and I will get into a crash. Nobody can diagnose the car because no code pops up anymore, but my car still stall out.
2015 honda accord sport won't start intermittently. I was getting in my car to go to work, when I turned the key and it clicks on the first try, then will start on the second try. Today, I had to try three times before it would start. I got the battery and starter tested and they were both good.
Vehicle will not start while in park. All lights, dash lights, etc come on in the accessory position, but when you turn the key to ignition, the starter does not engage. If you take the drive selector to neutral it will start. This is an intermittent problem that continues to happen since it first started. So far I have not been stranded or needed to have the car towed.
The car sometimes would not start, I only hear a clicking sound. I know it is not the battery because when the car starts, the cranking noise is very good. This issue happened and continues to occur in the past. I bought an extended warranty on this car, promising a stress free maintenance. I have taken the car to a honda dealership but I get a push back saying "if the issue not present during, they cannot troubleshoot anything". This is tough for consumer like me that was convinced to purchase extended warranty where I feel it's useless and waste of money to what caused me but stressed and worry. I am reaching out to the government agency such as yourself to perhaps assist/advice on what a consumer should do with this issue
I've recently noticed small oil spots on my garage floor. My car does not accelerate smoothly and has also started to stall when I'm initially starting it. The stalling seems to be worse when the car has cooled off but once it finally starts, it is running rough until I hit a stable speed. It also seems to run rougher when making turns (which is typically when I'm attempting to accelerate). It has been happening for the past 3-6 months, although inconsistent. I've also had a new battery every year since I've owned this vehicle despite recalls on battery parts/sensors.
I have had several issues with the car not starting and with replacing batteries. In five years, I have had 4 batteries. Sometimes the car starts right away, some times it takes several try's, take a break and try again. Frustrating is really an understatement. I have been stranded at work, in parking lots and in my garage. I keep my car serviced. I just took it in july 3 for oil change. The time before, after the checked my tires in the drive in bay, they asked me if I always have a difficult time starting my car, I told them yes, and asked them to check. Of course they found nothing. Maybe now that the car is no longer under warranty, maybe they will figure out what happening. The fear of getting stranded at night at my place of employment across the bridge or in the dead of winter is unsafe and unsettling. I noted that there are several similar issues in this forum, I would think honda would find a fix for the truly obvious problem. This was my third honda, more than likely , my last. Just today, I got into the car and it started right away. I went to the grocery store, got in the car about thirty minutes later and it started right away. I left there and went to get gas. I got back in the car, tried to start the engine and I got nothing. I literally sat at the service station for 15 minutes, trying to start my car. Just as I was ready to call for a tow, it started. This is ridiculous.
The car went on fire; the front passenger side was completely burnt. I was at a red light, it started smoking up under the hood, I pulled over, and as I opened the hood it was flaming. Now I have been attempting to repair it as I am still paying the car note. I don't understand how it even happened.
