I can always feel that the transmission is not responsive. Every now and then when I back up or the car moves into the first gear after I put it in the drive mode it takes awhile before it really moves. It staggers and stalls before the acceleration finally kicks in. The scariest incident was when I needed to accelerate onto the highway on the entry ramp and the car was stalling and refusing to increase torque and speed even though the acceleration pedal was all the way floored. It almost caused a major crash from the rear. Every Honda dealer I go to cannot seem to replicate the issue I keep experiencing and dismiss my account as if it is in my head. I wish someone addresses this important warning urgently before there is a catastrophic car incident involving our lives. Looking forward to a prompt resolution to a recurring issue. My guess is that there was a transmission software update from the dealership when I first bought the car which has caused this recurring transmission issue which Honda refuses to acknowledge.

Everything in the car shuts off and on all of a sudden; this includes the screen the air all the lights and the car kind of jerks. it goes back almost immediately but I'm afraid it will do this on the freeway. It has done this at least 4 times in the last month.
The shucks began shuddering at highway speeds and upon stopping within 1 mile of first incident the vehicle was unable to move under its own power. Further inspection of the car by the Honda dealership determined the transmission failed.
Driving at Interstate speeds, I had the engine suddenly **THUNK** and lose power. I limped it to the side of the road to get out of traffic. I went to investigate and the vehicle would not even idle. It just shut off After having it towed back to local service company, looked at, and the dealership I bought it at to look at, I am told the main bearing failed on the connecting rod. The thunks I hear is the rod spinning in there, shearing off metal shavings that are now all over inside the engine bay. Honda has a TSB out for the car, for this exact issue, but my VIN number somehow doesn't fit in their window. Component that failed - Main bearing on the Connecting Rod Safety of myself and others - Gave out while driving highway speeds, which caused the car to lose power to keep it at highway speeds. Had to limp it to the shoulder Reproduction of problem - Yes, at an independent service center and a dealership service center Component inspected - not by any of the listed people, just the service centers Warning lamps, messages, symptoms - None whatsoever I have amazon receipts of items purchased for all at home maintenance done on the vehicle since it was bought new. I do not have a scanner handy for the service center documentation and receipts
Transmission is not shifting. Also, when backing up car may jump and then stall.
The vehicle CVT transmission failed while I was driving on a highway.

Someone came and helped him out f vehicle and took him home around the block deale said it was totaled after tow.

Manual transmission keeps slipping out of 2nd gear and can't engage in 2nd gear. Was told from transmissions shops that this problem is happening with other 2015 honda accords with low mileage.
2015 honda accord v6 bought as new now with 72k miles has starter problem. Car will have a winding/grinding noise when attempting to start (from off and stationary position) but will not start. When inspecting problem, it was found that the flywheel has been damaged likely due to misalignment of torque converter ring gear or bad starter motor. Called to honda dealership and they said the components are not covered by warranties. Service campaign online was found with reference tsb no. 16-002 issued february 5, 2016. Buyer was not aware of such problems since date of purchase as honda never issued a recall or mailed out notification to the buyer. Many have reported the issue online. Buyer was never made aware of service bulletin via paper or electonic mail, no recall was made, car is now apparently no longer covered under warranty, and requiring multiple parts repairs.
Driving the car on the highway when suddenly the car begins pulling back, which then is followed by a binking 'd3" on the dash.
Sticking piston rings resulting in high engine oil consumption: vehicle maintained by dealer including oil changes. Vehicle has no oil in reservoir between oil changes. Vehicle burns oil. Piston rings stick and it causes oil to burn excessively. There are multiple campaigns that honda knows about. They knew about tsb 17-089 and still gave my vehicle a certified pre-owned status without fixing the engine problem first. It is dangerous to drive a vehicle with no oil in it!
At ~92,500 miles, this car has suddenly begun in the past week to shut off while accelerating/driving (in motion) on surface streets and freeways. The multifunction screen and/or sound system and/or dash/engine/acceleration will shut off without warning while I am operating the vehicle in traffic anywhere from 15-65 MPH. When it has happened, the system has quickly rebooted and allowed me to resume driving. It feels very unsafe and unpredictable.

2015 honda accord. Consumer writes in regard to battery sensor safety recall notice. *as
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was taken to hennessy honda of woodstock (3701, 8931 ga-92, woodstock, ga 30189, (770) 924-9000) where the starter was replaced, but failed to remedy the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The vehicle was currently being towed to the same dealer for the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
We have had intermittent problems where the car will not start. It just makes a clicking sound. We can jump start it and drive it around and sometimes the problem goes away for months at a time. Then randomly it will not start again. I have had the battery and charging system checked multiple times by autozone, advance auto, o'reilly, and walmart service center. The battery and charging system always reports as fine. I recently had the oil changed at walmart and the service technician could not get it to start. He jumped it and drove around to the other side of the bay to check the battery and it happened again. He removed the cables and cleaned the terminals and sprayed on battery post protectant and then jumped it again. I drove home and had not had any problems for over a month and now it has happened again. This all started after having the factory recall battery management sensor replaced in late 2017. This is at least the eight time over the past 1+ years. I was told by at least one autozone employee that they have seen many honda vehicles with a similar problem because the battery sensor or main fuse block will intermittently block any voltage coming from the battery into the starting system. It is random and will sometimes even prevent a jump start unless you tap on the top of the sensor. And then it starts fine. My local honda dealership claims there is no such problem and refused to call me back to have the vehicle checked while still under warranty. I am now out of warranty due to the date of purchase and not mileage and all they will say is that it sounds like my starter is bad and needs to be replaced which will cost over $700 now that I am out of warranty.
After coming to a stop, the engines revs up and the car begins to creep forward with brake applied until pressure on the brake is released and then RPM returns to normal. This has happened at least four times. You stop the car by taking your foot off the brake.
Difficulty starting. Keyless entry senses key but fails to start when brake is depressed and ignition button is pressed. Happening multiple times/week and becoming more frequent. Often starts after 2-3 attempts. Not resolved by replacing battery, resolving battery sensor recall, or checking fuel pump. Problem seems to be starter and has left me stranded when car does not start.
Cvtransmission failed in traffic leaving car stranded on busy hwy.
, while driving on the highway it was perfectly fine but when time came to get off I stoped at the first light, tried to drive off then the car started pulling, took off driving then the car just totally shut off no type of warning that there might be a problem and also no dash board lights lite up to notify me that there was a problem
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 starting car initially in the mornings and driving car in reverse with only braking and not applying any gas, after the first 10 feet in reverse the engine will rev up by itself and then stabilize, or engine will gulp air with engine jerking, or engine will rev up very high with the final last sound of clashing metal between the engine/transmission and the engine dying on the spot. These problems only occur with the initial starting of the car and only in reverse. The car functions normally after the events described above. The car is always garaged. The engine behavior described is intermittent and unpredicatable. Clashing metal and stopping of engine last occurred july 26, 2017.
On march 20, 2015, I leased a honda accord for 3 years from the honda of mentor automobile dealership. Immediately after taking possession of the car, I noticed the car had a very significant vibration problem. After driving the car for a few days, I took it back to the dealership and complained about the vibration. The service personnel I complained to acted like the car had no vibration problem at all --- intimating I was imagining things. After driving the car a few days more, I noticed that when stopping at a stop light and shifting the transmission from drive to neutral, the vibration lessened considerably. My car came equipped with a "continuously variable transmission (CVT)", so I assume the vibration is most likely related to the transmission (I have never been an auto mechanic). I have had the car for 22 months now and, although the vibration problem has lessened somewhat, it is causing me considerable consternation because I have decided to purchase the car outright when my 3-year-lease expires. I am worried that shortly after I purchase the car outright I will be faced with a horrendous bill to repair/replace the CVT or whatever it is that is causing the vibration. Question: is the federal safety agency maintaining a log of complaints regarding honda"s "vibration complaints" similar to mine? I am 82 and with my meager pension I certainly do not want to be hit with a horrendous repair bill if the vibration problem is due to the honda's incompetence.
Page 2 of 2 - I have since taken the vehicle to brandon honda and basically was advised by a service advisor, manager and america honda co that my vehicle is 'operating by design', 'my issues could not be duplicated on several test drive attempts' and 'it's a safety feature' talking about when the vehicle can engage into reverse. As of today I have no resolution to the CVT transmission and front end concerns brought to the attention of brandon honda. I was also told by a service technician that 'this was a safety feature' and 'it's operating as designed' which both are not solutions to resolve a mechanical/safety defect in the vehicle or design. I have given brandon honda multiple tsbs to review each visit and kept having them rejected. One of those tsbs mentions having to drop the transmission to replace a module inside of the casing. Obviously the dealership is doing whatever they can to avoid having to perform this repair and keep dragging their feet to accomplish absolutely nothing. The original honda case # [xxx] was opened and then closed via voicemail prior to me receiving my vehicle back from the dealership to determine if the issue was resolved, yet to my satisfaction. What will it take for honda to act and make my vehicle, experience whole????? I bought my vehicle with hard earned $ not counterfeit, broken or life threatening. Note: I have video of the vehicle in reverse motion while continuing forward, along with several tsbs, work orders, pictures and documents to support my case. This is my only means of transportation and I'm driving over the howard franklin bridge (15,899') every day in my commute to and from my office. Feel free to contact me for the video, pictures or documents needed to support my case.

Page 1 of 2 - I purchased my 2015 honda accord coupe ex-l with 2.4l CVT in june of 2015 new with maybe 5 miles on the odometer. I started having issues just months after purchasing the vehicle from brandon honda. The first incident occurred when pulling out of my office complex onto a busy highway when the car decided to just shut off causing the steering column to also seize while the odometer flashed "fcw failure" along with several other instrument panel lights on steady. Since that occurrence it seems as if I've had nothing but problems with the vehicle. I have on several occasions taken the vehicle in for repeated transmission/front end issues ' such as jerking between rpms, down 'shifting' for no reason causing rpms to just drop instead of holding when releasing my foot from the accelerator and while traveling at highway/interstate speeds of 55+ MPH, etc. The last 3 times included an additional issue where the gearshift would go from (d) drive and into (r) reverse while continuing to go in a forward motion with back up camera displaying on dash screen and (r) displaying on the odometer where the gear is displayed. The discovery of this safety hazard took place for the first time on an interstate while traveling 65+ MPH. The passenger at the time was reaching to grab their beverage from cup holder closest to the gear shifter when it was hit/tapped in the upward motion engaging the transmission into (r) reverse. It took me a minute to grasp what happened because while I'm looking forward into the direction I'm driving, I glance down at the odometer and notice (r) in place of the (d) where the current gear engaged would be indicated. Then out of the corner of my eye I notice the camera was on display but not realizing the camera was from the rear and could see the vehicles directly behind me on the interstate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. While driving approximately 75 MPH, the vehicle stalled and stopped without warning. The vehicle was pulled to the side of the road, restarted, and driven home. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to a local dealer, but the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that nothing could be done. The failure mileage was 7,927.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. While driving 10 MPH, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and jerked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician installed a snapshot to record the failure and stated that the CVT transmission failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.
Engine misfires at 50-60 MPH with the tachometer surging from 1400 RPM to 2500 RPM with each misfire. You cannot maintain your speed and therefore are not able to safely drive on the highway. Took it to the dealer who stated that honda has been aware of this issue for some time but does not have a fix for it yet.
This is 2015 brand new accord lx with CVT. The issues are: 1. The car has obvious side to side sway at speed 15 MPH. 2. The car has big amplitude vibration at speed 25~35 MPH. Especially on a downward slope. 3. The whole car is vibrating at high speed (>70 MPH). My hands and legs felt numbed after driving 30 to 40 minutes on highway.
