2016 Honda Accord electrical complaints
Page 6 of 8: complaints 131 to 160 of 202, newest first, as owners wrote them.
For more than a year, my car has been having issues starting up. It rarely starts on the first attempt. It usually starts on the second attempt. There are times when it takes multiple attempts to start. I have planned on having the starter replaced when I have the timing belt replaced in a few months. However, today I discovered this site and realized many others have the same issue. Have there been resolutions for anyone? If so, what was the resolution?

If I have the car light on auto and turn off the car the engine still runs and it does not turn off until I turn of the auto switch for the headlights and the indicator comes on randomly and I don't feel safe in this car
I just replace the battery for the 3rd time on 9/19/2020. This is a problem for a car 4 years old
!. Car seat is unstable in back seat no matter where you place it. 2. I have 40,450 miles on my 2016 accord sedan and have spent $300 already only for my A/C to not work. It keeps blowing the relay switch out. Now they're telling me I need a new clutch and it will be almost $1400; my display will change and my radio goes off, my doors may or may not lock/unlock. I believe it stems from the electrical problems with the battery recall (which I had repaired, but battery keeps corroding) leaking moisture into the engine.
Front right drl, part of the running light burned out, to replace the running light you must replace the entire headlight assembly which can be up to $1500 or more. Most people that purchase a honda accord cannot afford to repair something that burns out just like any other light for $1500. This is unacceptable, honda motor co. Needs to recall and repair this mistake for free. This is ridiculous to have to replace the entire headlight assembly.
My car keeps losing all power while im driving and then turns on.
Multiple issues with car not starting even with a new batter. Will have to jump the car off each time I drive. Car stalling when I drive it.
When I push the push button starter it makes a high pitch noise and doesn't start. When I push it the second time it starts. Occasionally, after f I drive the car, cut it off and then try to start it, it won't start. I wait a second or two then try and it starts. This problem started in october 2019. Now it is happening more frequently, at least three - four times a week depending on how often I drive the car. The last time it happened was april 3, 2020. As a result of (covid-19), I am not driving it every day. The
The issue started when I was barely over 42,000 miles, maybe 7 months ago in october of 2019. The car would stall after it was parked for a little over 5 minutes. I replaced the battery on it and everything worked fine for another couple of days. Then, it stalled again. I took it to the honda service center and they were not able to find a defect on the car. I decided to take it run a diagnostics through a third party after two days ago, it stalled as I was driving home. The diagnostics said my car has a defective fuel pump. What is really irresponsible on honda's part is the fact that I take it every time and I have asked them to run this diagnostics and they have not done so.
My backup camera has started to do exactly what the newer models are doing and not working when I put it into reverse. Im now looking into if it is covered under warranty or not which I doubt because it is now over 4 years old. The only thing my backup camera displays is the green lines but no picture. I would very much like help from honda as it only has 37000 miles on it
Last night my dashboard lost electricity for about 2 seconds and my engine stalled. I lost power steering control. After 2 seconds, electrical components of the dashboard returned to normal, as did the power steering and engine, and everything was fine. This morning, I drove on a street & smoke entered the cabin area of the car & I pulled over immediately. Opened the hood and the battery (positive terminal) was fully engulfed in flames. A gentleman put out the fire with water from the gas station. My battery is 1/4 melted, due to the fire. Other plastic parts of the engine are also slightly melted. I called gardena honda (in los angeles ca) and they told me my 2016 honda accord was not part of the battery sensor recall but the service person told me that she had seen my email and forwarded it to her supervisor, and that she would speak to him to see what they could do. She told me that her supervisor said to immediately bring it into the gardena, ca honda dealership. Upon arrival the service people told me they would definitely be charging me at least $160 for a diagnosis. I then explained to them that I was misled, as when I initially called I was told that she would check to see what they could do and that she would call me back. At no time did she say I would be charged for anything. Instead, she mislead me by saying she had spoken to her supervisor and that he said to bring it in immediately. They mislead me, wasted my time, and are putting people's lives in danger as although my vehicle (2016 honda accord with VIN is apparently not part of the recall, my car's battery caught fire and I am sure other people's car's will also catch fire. The recall should be expanded beyond the current list. *dt the consumer stated a metal piece intended to hold the battery in place loosened and came in contact with the positive terminal of the battery causing the failure.
There is times when I try to turn on the vehicle and it makes a grinding noise and the vehicle doesn't start.
Daytime running light is out.
The backup camera has quit working. When in reverse the screen is now black.
The LED strip of light around my headlight on drivers side is partially blown. That is always a distraction to oncoming cars

August 2018 battery in car stopped working. Stationary car would not start. Replaced battery and in november 2019 battery stopped working again. Car wont start. November 2019 problems with gas. When pushing the gas on residential street it stops, wont go further.
Not able to start the car. It struggles to start or won't start at all. I have issues with this before and apparently this issue still has not been resolved. I have found that this has happened to many other owners as well. Please advise honda of this ongoing issue.
Since I got the car in 2016 the radio has been freezing then going completely black while driving. My battery has died multiple times without leaving anything on or open. I'm currently sitting in the parking lot after just starting my car and moving it to another parking spot, came back to start my car and go home and the battery was faintly trying to start and then completely died. My car won't start and the radio screen is white. Now is making a clicking sound without touching anything.
Concerning the battery, I was parked in a parking stall and when I try to start my car to leave it would not start I had to call a tow truck to give me a jump. No lights or anything was left on I had turn my car completely off and then I tried to start it and it would not start I was only there like long enough to order my food and then to leave so maybe 20 minutes in my car would not start ,due to the battery. Concerning the fuel system I was at a signal had my foot on the break and the car exceller rated on its own if I would not have my foot on the break I felt like it would've hit the car in front of me the whole car moved I had a passenger with me and they identify the same thing I talked took my car to the dealer I told them what had happened and they told me just don't park too close behind a car that was their response to me.I was stationary behind a vehicle at a signal waiting for the signal to turn green so I could go that's when this happen on a regular street
When I get in my car sometimes to start it the battery is dead I have taking it to autozone so they can run test with there computer and everything comes out perfect if I'm not mistaken I think the battery negative voltage sensor is damaged

Driver side door and driver side passenger door no longer lock with automatically. They require manual lock or key to lock properly. I bought my car in 2016 and by the end of 2017 I had to get my driver side passenger fixed under warranty. In early 2018 I started having problems again with my doors not locking. Be the end of 2018 both driver door and driver aide passenger door do not lock. This has been a constant problem.
I had to replace the battery within the first year of me owning the vehicle. About 6 months ago I started having the same issue where my battery was dying. In addition to that my.car started making a funny noise. Turns out I needed my tensioner/alternator pulley replaced and that is when they noticed that the alternator was not charging correctly. It was measuring at 11 volts instead of the normal 14v. I had to have it replaced along with my belt tensioner. I spent 600 and then I learned that there was a recall on hondas for the same issue but my car was not included in the list. I don't see why not when it was almost the identical issue. This is the first car I have ever bought and I bought a honda because of its reputation for dependability. The alternator should not have given out within the first three years of owning the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda accord. While driving, the contact heard an abnormal noise intermittently. Suburban honda (25100 haggerty rd, farmington hills, mi 48335, (248) 477-1700) was unable to determine the cause of the failure on more than two occasions.
