Power train, driveline, driveshaftDec 10, 2020
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission that were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts' protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.
A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing both the left and right drive shafts, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2021. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN STARTING THE CAR SOMETIMES YOU TURN THE KEY AND IT WILL NOT START SO FAR IT HAS STARTED BUT ONE TIME IT WAS SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD START CONCERN THAT THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE THAT WILL LEAVE ME OR A FAMILY MEMBER STRANDED-- THE CAR IS SO NEW I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE A PROBLEM THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH-- OF COURSE THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT
Electrical system, Apr 23, 2017
I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING CAR FOR APPROX. 1 1/2 YRS AS EVERYBODY WHO HAS FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THIS STARTER ISSUE. I AM A STRUGGLING AMERICAN JUST LIKE MANY, GOT LET GO FROM 19 YRS OF SERVICE AND FINALLY GOT A PART TIME JOB AT AN AFB, BAD TIMING, MY 1ST AT WORK AND THE STARTER ISSUE GOT TO THE POINT THAT NOW IT SIMPLY DOESN'T START, IT USED TO TAKE UP TO 20 TRIES, HAD A HARD TIME GETTING TOW TRUCK INTO BASE BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS PASSING SMOG TEST, SO DECIDED TO BUY A RELIABLE VEHICLE, HAD MANY OPTIONS TO BUY FROM BUT HONDA HAD A REPUTABLE LEGACY. NOW I STRESS OUT BECAUSE A 2 1/2 YR OLD CAR IS GIVING TONS OF HONDA OWNERS THE SAME STARTED PROBLEM. WE ARE BEING FORCED TO TAKE VEHICLES BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY $900 PLUS LABOR BECAUSE EY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT SELL STARTERS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, THERE IS NO AFTERMARKET PARTS. IT IS NOT FAIR NOR RIGHT THAT BECAUSE OF HONDAS DEFECTIVE PARTS FAIL AND WE ARE BEING MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR. WHEN PAYING FOR A $30,000+ VEHICLE PEOPLE EXPECT PEACE OF MIND AND NOT UNRELIABLE LEMONS. IT MAY NOT BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSU BUT THIS STARTER ISSUE SHOULD BE CATEGORIZED AS DEFECTIVE ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IS LEAVING HARDWORKING STRUGGLING AMERICANS STRANDED EVERYWHERE. IS IT A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTS RIGHT AROUND 36,000 MILES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT'S A MATTER OF THE STARTER UNITS GETTING TOO HOT OR BAD WIRING BUT BRAND NEW CARS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, THAT'S JUST VALIDATES THAT THIS ARE FAULTY ELECTRICAL STARTERS AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, THERE OUGHT TO BE A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL UNITS.

I STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. MY CAR HAS THE NEW PUSH BUTTON START AND I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING IT TO CRANK. WHILE STATIONARY IT WOULD TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 10 ATTEMPTS(SOMETIMES MORE) BEFORE IT WOULD CRANK. I HAVE NOT EVEN OWNED THIS CAR 3 YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW STARTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN PARKING LOTS, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AT GAS PUMPS AND AT HOME.

FLASHING DASHBOARD: FCW,ENGINE LIGHT ON, STABILIZER CONTROL LIGHT,ABS- ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASH BOARD, UNABLE TO START CARD. BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD. CAR WAS PARKED ON STREET IN FRONT OF HOME. FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE DEALER CLAIMS IT'S THE FOURTH TIME. CAR PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER BLAMES ALARM DEPARTMENT. THE ALARM DEPARTMENT CLAIMS DEALER ALWAYS BLAMES THEM. HOWEVER, I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PERMANENTLY FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN IN 2015. THIS FALLS INSIDE OF 18 MONTHS LEMON LAW. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A ONGOING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS NOT RECEPTIVE ABOUT IT.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Jun 24, 2016
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN LEAVING ME STRANDED BECAUSE THE CAR KILLS THE BATTERY. IT STARTED LAST YEAR AND THE DEALER SAID THE BATTERY WAS FINE, AND LEFT IT AT THAT. NOW A YEAR LATER THE BATTER IS STILL TESTING GOOD BUT THE CAR HAS LEFT ME 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY IN 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I PERMANENTLY HAVE TO CART JUMPING CABLES JUST I. CASE. I'M SO SAD TO SEE THAT I'M PAYING AND I'VE BEEN SUCH A FAITHFUL HONDA CLIENT AND THIS IS REALLY DEVESTATING.
Electrical system, Jun 9, 2016
2014 HONDA ACCORD FAILS TO START PERIODICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IF THERE IS NO ERROR CODE AND ACTS IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO THE ACCORD. TIME FOR ANOTHER RECALL.. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
Electrical system, Jun 1, 2016
THE RIGHT TURN CAMERA THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT IS DEACTIVATED DURING HIGH HEAT.,IN PHOENIX AZ "HIGH HEAT" MEANS DIRECT SUNLIGHT AT OVER 85 DEGREES. WHEN I REPORTED THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT THIS OUTAGE CREATES FOR THE DRIVERS OF OUR CAR THEY JUST SAID, "YEAH, IT TAKES A WHILE TO COOL OFF." SOMETIMES 15 MINUTES. MEANWHILE I DON'T HAVE THE SAFETY FEATURE I PAID FOR. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW OFTEN MY SAFETY CAMERA SHUTS OFF NOW THAT WE ARE "IN SEASON?" DAILY. LITERALLY EVERY DAY MY RIGHT TURN BLIND SPOT CAMERA SHUTS DOWN WITH A WARNING THAT POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD THAT ELIMINATES OUR ABILITY TO SEE OTHER WARNING SENSOR LIGHTS. I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THIS DEFECT TO REMAIN. A HIGH HEAT SENSOR GOING OFF AT 85 DEGREE AMBIENT TEMP IS ABSURD. THEY SAID, NOPE...TOTALLY NORMAL. I'D SAY THAT A CAMERA HELPING ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT THAT RESULTS IN MANY ACCIDENTS, SHOULD BE WORKING AT ALL TIMES. AGAIN, SHAME ON HONDA. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN.

TRUNK LID OPENS BY ITSELF INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT NINE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONE YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE OR ON THE STREET NEAR MY HOUSE. AFTER THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED I BEGAN TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM MY POCKET AND HANGING THEM ON A KEY HOOK UPON ENTERING THE HOUSE. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA AMERICA TECH SUPPORT HAS NEVER EVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM TO DO A GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. I TOLD THEM THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN IF NO CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TAKEN. SO I INSISTED THAT THEY DISCONNECT THE ELECTRONICS FROM THE REMOTE TRUNK RELEASE. I HAVE TO OPEN THE TRUNK MANUALLY WITH THE TRUNK RELEASE CABLE BUT IT IS BETTER THAN LOOKING OUT YOUR HOUSE WINDOW AND SEEING YOUR CAR TRUNK FLAPPING IN THE BREEZE. LESSON LEARNED IS THAT HONDA AMERICA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS UP I WILL BE SWITCHING TO ANOTHER BRAND.
Electrical system, Apr 6, 2016
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DEVELOPED STARTING PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A STARTER PROBLEM. BECAUSE I HAVE 47,000 MILES ON THE CAR, WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER REPAIR.

TWO TIMES WHILE DRIVING TONIGHT I TRIED TO ADJUST THE HEAT BUT ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT KILLED THE ENGINE. IN ORDER TO START YOU MUST BE IN PARK SO YOU MUST STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE RESTARTING. THIS HAPPENED IN A SMALL TOWN WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. IF THIS HAPPENED IN HIGH SPEED HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS SITUATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR THE DRIVER OR OTHER DRIVERS. A RECALL SHOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED.

I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA ACCORD EX-L, 2014. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR SHOWED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH PANEL. IT SAID "SYSTEM FAILED", AND THE DASH FUNCTIONS BECAME PARALYZED. SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HOOD. IN A FEW MINUTES, THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. MOST OF THE CAR WAS BURNED.
Electrical system, Forward collision avoidance, Jul 24, 2015
THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO SIMULATE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE FCW SHOULD ALERT, WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER FOUR TIMES. ON TWO OF THE VISITS THE FCW ONLY WORKED ONCE AFTER TESTING FOUR OR MORE TIMES.THE FCW NOTIFICATION WAS TOO CLOSE FOR SAFELY TAKING ACTION. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE WARNING DISTANCE WHEN CHANGING THE SETTINGS- LONG, NORMAL, SHORT. ON THE TWO OTHER OCCASIONS THE FCW DID NOT WORK AT ALL. DEALER ADVISED IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO RIDE ALONG ON TEST DRIVES. HONDA AMERICA WOULD NOT FURNISH EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES TO DETERMINE IF FCW WAS WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY VARIABLES AND THIS INFORMATION WAS PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVISE AND SHOULD WORK PROPERLY. HONDA AMERICA REFUSED MY REQUEST TO SEND TO AN EMPLOYE TO TEST DRIVE. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN *TR

UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE HESITATED THEN STALLED. UPON RESTARTING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE SURGED FORWARD. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE LOST POWER MOMENTARILY THEN REENGAGED. THE A.C./CLIMATE CONTROL IS AGAIN NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND THE HANDS-FREE PHONE FUNCTION DISCONNECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONING DEFECT REPAIRS COMPLETED. AT THAT TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE TRUNK LID THAT HAS BEEN FALLING DOWN SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2014. THE TRUNK LID FALLS AT WILL.
Electrical system, Jul 15, 2015
WHEN TRYING TO START MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX, I HAVE TO ATTEMPT IT SEVERAL TIMES TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BEFORE IT WILL START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 16 TIMES! I TOOK THE HONDA TO THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE I TAKE IT TO FOR SERVICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT) AND THEY ARE STATING IT'S A "STARTER ISSUE" AND THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE "POWER TRAIN" WARRANTY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $495 FOR A NEW STARTER, PLUS $200 LABOR. THE CAR BEING SO NEW DOES NOT HAVE "AFTER MARKET" PARTS AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO BUY IT NEW. MY LAST HONDA ACCORD EX V6 2005 MODEL DIDN'T HAVE ITS STARTER REPLACED UNTIL JULY 2012. SO I KNOW THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! I'VE EVEN RESEARCHED THE LIFE OF AN AVERAGE STARTER AND MOST OF THEM ARE AT 100K MILES OR 5 YEARS. SO I KNOW HONDA HAS TO HELP ME WITH THIS! I'VE BEEN CALLING HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION IN CALIFORNIA (MICHAEL) AND THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO (MAGGIE NERO - SERVICE MANAGER) AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET WITH THIS. ANY INSIGHT ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
