1 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 03/14/2021

While making a left turn at low speed (10 mph) and getting back up to speed on the highway (55mph speed limit), the vehicle lost the power connection to the wheels. The engine was revving as the gas pedal was being depressed, but the car was slowing down. Shifting the transmission to different gears (from d to d2, d1) did nothing. The highway was 2 lanes and there was not a lot of traffic, so luckily the 2 cars behind me were able to brake and switch lanes around me without causing an accident, while I was able to maneuver the vehicle from the left lane to the right shoulder. Evaluation by an ase certified shop at a luther dealership revealed that the drive shaft (drivers side) snapped into two pieces at the junction that is inside a rubber component. The shop disclosed to me that there are two recalls out for this exact issue by Honda motor company, but my specific vehicle is not part of the recall. There are two separate recalls related to this problem per consumer reports. The 2013 through 2015 Honda Accord sedans are part of recall #20v769. The 2013-2015 Acura ilx, 2013 Acura ilx hybrid, 2012 Honda civic hybrid, and 2007-2014 Honda fit vehicles are part of recall #20v770.
