general problems of the 2015 Honda Accord - part 2

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.

The contact's father owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the abs, stability control, forward collision avoidance, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that due to the failure, several electrical and braking features failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and was diagnosed with a defective vsa (vehicle stability assist) module. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the part for the repair was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Hello, I turned my car on and saw the engine emissions system warning, which I’ve never seen before. I thought the cold front or sudden temperature change in my city had something to do with it & it would go away because my car is well maintained(all services done at Honda dealership). I was driving on the freeway about 75 mph and all of a sudden my car stops accelerating. I floored the gas pedal but it was only going about 30 mph(felt weak or like it was operating on battery only) this is when the “engine cooling system problem” and “engine temperature too hot” warnings started flashing. The car behind me almost hit me, other cars were passing & honking at me, I was holding up traffic so I got in the emergency lane. While in the emergency lane I had to turn my car on an off about 6 times for it to work normally for about 5/10 minutes before it would start stalling or the acceleration would stop working(this would happen when the coolant warning started flashing) until I got home. I was confused on why the car wasn’t accelerating like normal because I had more than half a gas tank left & my coolant has been replaced. The next day I turn on my car and it’s perfectly normal-no warnings. I took it to the Honda services and showed them the video I took of the warnings because I was scared and felt unsafe driving it, but they told me to bring it back when the warning lights turn back on the dashboard. It was normal for about a week, then the warning lights popped back up and it would start stalling/not accelerate again. I constantly had to turn my car off and on driving to Honda services. They told me nothing is wrong with the coolant, they did a diagnostic test on it and said it’s the computer module/electrical interference causing the warning lights/pumps not to not work. I believe it’s the hybrid propulsion system recall 15v602000, I have a 2015 Honda Accord hybrid but my VIN is not recalled? is there anyway to add my VIN to the recall? please and thank you.

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.

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?.

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.

Back up camera black screen, safety issue.

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.

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.

Power steering did not work when I went out to my car. I took it to Honda and they replaced the power steering rod while I was driving it power steering failed again. Took it back to Honda - replaced electrical panel while I was driving power steering went out again. Back in shop with Honda and saying needs electrical harness repair. Dangerous to drive as you have no control over steering car while driving.

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.

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.

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.

While driving, the steering wheel light started to come on and started to make a noise, then the steering wheel itself got stuck and could not turn the vehicle. This we were so close to crashing putting in risk myself and my kids at the time. Since then, I can’t drive it due to the steering wheel locking.

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.

In 2017, my vehicle was part of a Honda recall for the battery sensor. I had the recall service completed at colerain Honda in cincinnati, OH. Honda marked recall repair as completed in 2017, but the same defect has been ongoing since 2021 through today. I have had to replace multiple alternators and batteries, believing the recall repair (battery sensor issue) was properly resolved, but the issue persists. This raises concern that the recall work was either not done correctly or not done at all. The dealership has refused to provide records or assistance, leaving me to cover repair costs throughout the years. This is a safety and reliability concern that remains unresolved. When I contacted the dealership, they were unable or unwilling to provide documentation of the actual recall repair outside of "it's been completed, we can't see back that far", leaving me uncertain whether the work was properly performed and how they did it. I was also treated rudely and dismissed when requesting answers or proof. This raises a potential safety risk: if the recall repair was never done, my vehicle is still at risk of electrical fire or failure. If the repair was improperly performed, it could leave me and other drivers in danger. I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether Honda and colerain Honda fulfilled their recall obligations in this case.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Car takes several tries before it will start.

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.

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.

Centrlock system is acting weird on all doors randomly.

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.

My car won't start on the first time I turn the key. I have to turn the key maybe 3-4 times to get the car started. I'm not sure what it could be. I've done research and I'm not the only one that has the problem. It may be a manufacturer problem.

I have a 2015 Honda Accord sport. I've had to replace my battery twice now. Until about 3 - 4 weeks ago, my car was working fine until my ignition wouldn't start when I turned the key. But everything electrical in the vehicle works fine. I have to turn the key dozens of times before the vehicle finally starts. Now it got so worst that it takes 10 to 15 minutes to start the vehicle then it suddenly starts like nothing has happened. Did a search on various Honda forums and apparently is a common problem for this vehicle model.

Car alarm goes with no reason.

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.
