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.

Steering, Apr 26, 2016
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX-L WAS PARALLEL PARKED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, I TURNED IT ON AND STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO EXIT THE PARKING SPACE. THE FIRST TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL HAD NO PROBLEM, BUT AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR I MOVED 5 FEET FORWARD AND THEN I HEARD A SERIES OF CLICKING NOISES COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND THE STEERING BECAME IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BUT EVERY TIME I TURNED THE CAR ON, THERE WERE A SERIES OF CLICKS AND THE STEERING WOULD REMAIN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH THE EPS LIGHT STAYING LIT. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED, AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE EPS CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. I HAD DRIVEN OVER 100 MILES THAT DAY ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND IF THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ANY OTHER TIME THROUGHOUT THE DAY I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT.

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.

MY CAR HAS A LANE WATCH CAMERA THAT ENGAGES WHEN USING YOUR RIGHT BLINKER. WHEN MAKING AN OUTBOUND CALL, YOU SAY THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU ARE CALLING AND THEN YOU RECEIVE A VERBAL NOTIFICATION "CALLING _____" IF BETWEEN THIS TIME AND THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE SYSTEM TO INITIATE THE CALL AND DIAL TONE STARTS YOU HAVE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, WHICH ENGAGES THE LANE WATCH CAMERA, THE CALL IS CANCELED. ONCE YOU'VE TURNED THE CORNER AND THE CAMERA HAS TURNED OFF, IT WILL AGAIN SAY "CALLING ____" HOWEVER IT DOES NOT PERFORM THE CALL AND JUST SITS ON THAT SCREEN. IF YOU LIVE IN A CITY WHERE FREQUENT TURNS ARE A NORMALITY, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SO AND MAKE OUTBOUND CALLS IT'S VERY DIFFICULT AND DISTRACTING AS MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS ARE OFTEN NEEDED TO MAKE THE CALL. I'VE SINCE TURNED OFF THE LANE WATCH CAMERA TO PREVENT IT FROM DISRUPTING OUTBOUND CALLS.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, AS I WAS DRIVING A SLOW SPEED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AS I ATTEMPTED TO STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE STREET, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD UNDER ACCELERATION. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND WITH THE ENGINE RACING TO ABOUT 4,000 RPM WITH REV LIMITER CUTTING IN I STOPPED THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL. ENGINE AGAIN RACED TO 4,000RPM WITH REV LIMITER CUTTING IN. STOPPED ENGINE AGAIN AND RESTARTED A THIRD TIME, THIS TIME ENGINE IDLED NORMALLY AND DROVE WITHOUT INCIDENT. CALLED DEALER, NO RECORDS FROM ANYONE INDICATING A SIMILAR SITUATION.

I DROVE CAR HOME AND HAD TWO REPEAT ACCELERATIONS SO DROVE CAR TO SHOP.

ONE COLD MORNING OF ABOUT 30-32 DEGREES, THE BACK LEFT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE (OR INSIDE) WHEN THE HANDLE WAS PULLED. IT WAS AS IF CHILD LOCK WAS ON. FROM THAT POINT ON, NO MATTER WHAT TEMP, THE DOOR WON'T OPEN PROPERLY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO OPEN IS TO PUSH THE DOOR IN THEN PULLING THE HANDLE. IF ON THE INSIDE, YOU HAVE TO PULL THE DOOR IN BY THE HOLE YOU GRASP THE DOOR THE PULL THE HANDLE. IT IS NOT SAFE. IT HAPPENED AT 37,000 MILES. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS ON LEASE STILL WITH ONE MORE YEAR TILL I CAN FINANCE IT. I HAVE NO KIDS AND HAVE GUEST THE SIT IN THE BACK PERIODICALLY. I CAN SEE NO FAULT ON MY END FOR THE DOOR TO BE DEFECTIVE. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO WAVE THE $180 FEE TO LOOK AT IT.
Suspension, Jan 29, 2016
SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY CAR BRAND NEW I HEARD A CLUNK NOISE COME FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL AREA. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. TODAY, AT AROUND 27K MILES THE NOISE HAS EVOLVED INTO A RATTLE WHICH IS HEARD WHILE GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR AROUND A SWEEPING RIGHT HAND TURN.
Air bags, Jan 23, 2016
TAKATA RECALL: I WANT TO KNOW IF MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. HONDA ADVISED ME THAT I HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. I HAVE ASKED IF THIS AIRBAG USES THE AMMONIUM NITRATE PROPELLANT - WHICH IS SUSPECTED TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM - AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO TELL ME. I HAVE WRITTEN TWO LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN HONDA & HAVE HAD TWO PHONE RESPONSES, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTION. THEY CLEARLY KNOW THE ANSWER AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO CONFIRM IN WRITING AS TO WHETHER AMMONIUM NITRATE IS USED IN THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE.
Power train, Jan 13, 2016
(1/12/2016) WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE CAR JOLTED AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL. THE CAR BEHIND ME CAME BARRELING UP ON MY BUMPER NEARLY CRASHING INTO ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. HAD MY CHILDREN BEEN IN THE CAR, AND THE DRIVER BEHIND ME NOT BEEN SO ALERT (PRAISE THE LORD), THIS COULD HAVE HAD DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THAT INSTANCE THE TRANSMISSION KEPT SLIPPING AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE, AND THE CAR WOULD JOLT FORWARD AND BACK. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 112,000 MILES ON IT. ALL OUR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PER SCHEDULE AND PERFORMED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SO THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS TRANSMISSION TO FAIL THIS EARLY. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SEE IF THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT WAS FULL AND CLEAN (THANKS TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE). IN RESEARCHING THIS FURTHER I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF OVER 1 MILLION VEHICLES ON THIS VERY PROBLEM BACK IN 2004 (NTSA REFERENCE #04V176000, APRIL 15, 2004). THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COVERING SEVERAL HONDA MODELS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. THIS FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN HONDA'S REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND DEPENDABILITY. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I HAVE 4 CHILDREN, AND HAD THIS BEEN UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. PLEASE HONDA; DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS ISSUE.
Visibility/wiper, Jan 12, 2016
WINDSHIELD WASHER FREEZES EXTREMELY EASILY, CAUSING A HORRIBLY UNSAFE CONDITION IN WINTER DRIVING. AS AN EXAMPLE, I HAVE -30 DEGREE WASHER FLUID IN THE CAR, IT IS 25 DEGREES OUT THIS MORNING, CAR SAT IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT. AFTER A 15 MINUTE DRIVE, WASHER FLUID IS COMPLETELY FROZEN AND WILL NOT COME OUT AT ALL. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WITH THE SALT ON THE ROAD.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. IN OUR FIRST SNOWSTORM THIS YEAR, I NOTICED I HAD TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY MOVING FORWARD, EVEN ON FLAT SURFACE, WITHIN MY OWN CULDESAC, WITH VERY LITTLE SNOW ON THE GROUND. DESPITE THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND ORIGINAL TIRES, I WAS SURPRISED HOW BADLY THE TIRES PERFORMED IN MILD SNOWY CONDITIONS. I MADE A MENTAL NOTE TO GET NEW TIRES, ALTHOUGH QUITE DISAPPOINTED THAT I FELT THAT NEED WITH A RELATIVELY NEW CAR UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEXT SNOW HIT BEFORE I BOUGHT NEW TIRES. I WAS IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE, MAKING MY WAY TO A MAJOR STREET WITH A MILD DECLINE. THE ROAD WAS SLICK, BUT I NOTED THAT THE OTHER CARS DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY STOPPING, ETC. AS I BEGAN THE DESCENT DOWN THE HILL, I NOTICED MY TIRES WERE NOT GIVING MY ANY TRACTION, AND I BEGAN SLIDING UNCONTROLLABLY DOWN THE HILL. I COLLIDED WITH A CAR ON THE INTERSECTING STREET DUE TO, I BELIEVE, VERY POOR TIRE PERFORMANCE. A NEW CAR OF THIS CALIBER, IN MY OPINION,SHOULD HAVE ADEQUATE TRACTION ABILITY FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST 20,000 MILES. MY CAR IS, LIKELY TOTALED, I AM INJURED, THE OTHER PARTY'S CAR IS BADLY DAMAGED AND I IMAGINE SHE SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN HAVING MY CAR SERVICED OVER THE PAST YEAR, I WAS NEVER ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE INADEQUATE.

ON A SUNDAY MORNING, I STARTED MY CAR IN A DRIVEWAY - TURNED ON THE HEATER AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO WARM UP. WHEN I BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THERE WAS A BUNCH OF THICK SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THEN, I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND QUICKLY JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY CAR AND DETERMINED THAT THE WATER PUMP FROZE WHICH CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR BELT TO BREAK. THE NEXT DAY, ONCE MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DETERMINATION WAS CONFIRMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. BUT, AS TO THIS DAY - I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED. DO I HAVE A LEMON OR WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? COULD THIS HAPPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING CAUSING A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT? AFTER ALL, THIS CAR ONLY HAD 18,571 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW ON MARCH 9, 2014. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE UNKNOWN FUTURE SAFETY RISK.
Visibility, Dec 11, 2015
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SUN SHADE WAS CLOSED AND THE MAJORITY OF THE GLASS FRAGMENTS WERE WAS RETAINED BY THE SUN SHADE. THE DEALER SPECULATED THAT A ROCK MUST HAVE STRUCK THE SUN ROOF, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.
Electrical system, Dec 9, 2015
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.
Service brakes, Dec 1, 2015, crash
HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY CAR SINCE PURCHASE, I HAD COMPLAINED AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP DUE TO NOISE BEING MADE WHEN BRAKING. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, BRAKES CONTINUED TO HAVE TROUBLE FUNCTIONING CAR WOULD SHAKE WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE, THIS LEAD TO TOTAL FAILURE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING ME TO IMPACT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP AND FAILED TO STOP.

TRUNK LID HAS NO RESISTANCE AND HAS FALLEN ON US NUMEROUS TIMES CAUSING FACIAL/HEAD INJURIES. PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT ELEVATION. IF LID IS NOT HELD MANUALLY, GRAVITY AND WEIGHT OF THE TRUNK LID FREE-FALLS. IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS FOR SUPPOSED "REPAIR" OR WE ARE TOLD "THAT IS THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE" -- AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT FROM AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY (CASE NUMBER 04244825)." IN MY 54 YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP, INCLUDING MANY HONDAS, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.
