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.

IT WAS AROUND 1:50 PM ON MAY 6 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY I75 N 341 EXIT GOING APROXIMATELY 70MPH WHEN ALL OVER SUDDEN A CAR {MINIVAN OR SUV}ON FRONT OF ME HIT OR RAN OVER A BIG PIECE OF A CAR TIRE THAT WAS ON THE ROAD, I SWITHED TO THE RIGHT LANE BUT IS WAS TO LATE THE BIG PIECEC OF TIRE WICH IT WAS PRETTY BIG HIT MY CAR, THE LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT ARE, HOOD AND BUMPED ON THE WINDSHIELD THEN, IT WHEN OVER THE CAR IT WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE. THAT AREA IN I 75 IS ALWAYS A PROBLEMS THERE IS ALWAYS TIRES AND OTHER MATERIALS IN THAT AREA. NOT TO LONG AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LONG METAL TUBE ON THE HIGHWAY AND UNFORTUNATELYOTHER CARS AND MY SELF WENT OVER IT.. THE TIRE IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM I THINK, THAT HIGHWAY SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN FROM ALL THING FOR THE SAFETY OF COMMUTERS.

WINDSHIELD HAS COATING, OR APPEARS TO HAVE INTERNAL LAMINATE DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE. WHEN DAMP OR WET, VISIBILITY IS MADE WORSE BY USE OF WIPERS CAUSING EXTREMELY REDUCED VISIBILITY & EXCESSIVE GLARE FROM OPPOSING TRAFFIC. NIGHT DRIVING IN RAIN IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. *TR

ENGINE CRANKS BUT FAILS TO START, OR STARTS SLUGGISHLY WITH ROUGH IDLE AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF CRANKING IN COLD WEATHER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FUEL PUMP PRESSURE PROBLEM. *TR
Vehicle speed control, Engine, May 1, 2015
5/1/2014HESITATION (UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION) OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED. WHEN THE CAR IS AT A LOW SPEED AND MORE POWER IS NEEDED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED THERE IS NO RESPONSE INITIALLY; ACCELERATOR IS THEN PRESSED MORE AND THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A JERKY, ON/OFF TYPE ACTION. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GENTLY AND HAVING THE CAR ACCELERATE MORE THAN EXPECTED (IN A PARKING LOT OR HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC ETC). *TR

THE ENGINE SEIZED JUST FROZE AND DIED. THIS WAS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I WAS MAKING ANY KIND OF SHARP TURN. ON THE SECOND TO LAST OCCURRENCE 4/12/15 IT FAILED TO START AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY 5 TIMES. ON THE 6TH, IT MIRACULOUSLY STARTED. WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THE ENGINE SEIZED AGAIN AND IT WAS STUCK FOR A SCARY MOMENT. THE SERVICE DEPT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE HOOD AND POINTED OUT*** A KNOWN COMMON MANUFACTURING FLAW NEAR THE BATTERY, WHERE THE BOLT FOR THE BATTERY RANDOMLY LOSES CONTACT WITH THE SOURCE. HE SHOWED ME WERE IT "WOBBLES OUT OF PLACE- SEIZING THE ENTIRE CAR COMPLETELY!! THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I MADE UTURNS, TURNED CORNERS, AND PULLED IN OR OUT OF PARKING SPOTS. HOW COULD THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY FLAW BE IGNORED??!! I WAS TERRIFIED! THE REAL HORROR IS THAT THIS VERY DEALERSHIP DID AN OIL CHANGE THE WEEK PRIOR AND NO ONE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM!!! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THEM IN NOV. 2014.!!! THIS IS TRUE NEGLIGENCE. I AM FURIOUS. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN TWICE PRIOR TO THIS TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED OVER BECAUSE IT IS MY FOURTH NEW ACCORD, AND I NEW IT WAS NOT RIGHT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH. PLEASE HELP.

THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT FOR A SPECIFIC INCIDENT. THE CAR HAS EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE SINCE I PURCHASED IT AT THE END OF AUGUST 2014. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AMERICA AND AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE THEY HAVE DETERMINED SOME OF THEIR CARS HAVE MORE WIND NOISE THAN OTHERS AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. HOWEVER, FOR ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WIND NOISE BECOMES QUITE LOUD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND PRESENTS A DISTRACTION. THE NOISE IS PRONOUNCED AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE B-PILLAR AND SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE SOMEBODY BLOWING AIR DIRECTLY IN MY LEFT EAR. I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE HERE AS HONDA IS DISMISSING MY CASE. *TR

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN "N" (NEUTRAL) FROM "D", THE KEEPS MOVING FORWARD. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW, IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND KEEPS DOING IT. I NEED TO PUT IT IN "R" AND THEN BACK TO "N" SO THAT IT DOESN'T MOVE. THIS IS A BAD THING , REALLY BAD , AS "N" IS SUPPOSE TO PUT THE CAR IN IDLE STATE BUT IT DOESN'T DO THIS. THE CAR IS A 2014 V6 ACCORD SEDAN. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, A LOW RUMBLING SOUND SUDDENLY HEARD AND IN A BLINK SAW A TIRE ROLLING IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. A FEW SECOND LATER FLAT TIRE WARNING SIGN CAME UP.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 7 MONTHS AGO AND WAS ABOUT 7500 MILES AT TIME OF ACCIDENT. BEFORE THE INCIDENT, ALL TIRES AND CAR HAVE NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY IN LIGHT TRAFFIC AND GOOD ROAD CONDITION, HEARD A SHORT RUMBLING SOUND AND THEN SAW TIRE ROLLING OUT FROM REAR MIRROR. A FEW SECOND LATER TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SIGN SHOWN. THIS HAPPENED ALL WITHIN 10 SECONDS. SINCE LOCATED JUST NEAR EXIT, I DROVE OFF AND PARKED ON SIDE. I FOUND ONE REAR TIRE WAS COMPLETELY RIP OFF. THERE HAD BEEN NO ANY SIGN OF TIRE ISSUE BEFORE. CAR IS A FEW MONTHS NEW AND TIRE COMES WITH NEW CAR PURCHASE JUST ABOUT 7500 MILES. BROUGHT CAR TO GOODYEAR TIRE STORE FOR WARRANTY WORK AND WAS TOLD I MUST BRING TIRE TO CLAIM WARRANTY. WHEEL WITH REMNANT OF TIRE WON'T BE ENOUGH. *TR

POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISES IN DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT END WERE DUE TO IMPROPERLY TORQUED LOCK NUT ON DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT. DEALER INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINED IT WAS NOT COMPROMISED, SO REINSTALLED IT; THEREFORE IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE, BUT IMPROPERLY TORQUED. *TR

TO: NHTSA I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD IN MARCH 2014 AND SOON AFTER I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT FOR REPAIR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK ME ON A TEST DRIVE TO HEAR THE NOISE AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE RATTLING NOISE IS NOT ALWAYS PRESENT AND IT COMES UNPREDICTABLY THEREFORE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE IT AND REPLICATE THE NOISE WHICH IS SOMETIMES NOT POSSIBLE. I HAVE RECORDINGS OF THE NOISE AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT TO FIX THE CAR. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE HAD PERSONALLY TOLD ME THAT IT IS A DEFECT AND THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION FOR IT AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEIR ENGINEERING FIGURES OUT A FIX. I HIRED A LEMON LAWYER A FEW MONTHS AGO TO HELP ME. I AM INFURIATED THAT HONDA IS OFFERING ME TO SETTLE BY PAYING ME ?SOME MONIES FOR MY TROUBLE? WITHOUT GOING TO TRIAL BUT THEY STILL ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE CAR. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA IS ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH I EXPRESSED SAFETY CONCERNS AND EVEN WORSE THEY TRY TO PUT A PRICE TAG TO SETTLE FOR MY SAFETY INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 22- 23, 2015, I FEEL LIKE THIS APPOINTMENT IS TOO FAR AND THE MORE I DRIVE THIS CAR THE HIGHER RISK IT POSSES FOR MY SAFETY. MY EXPERIENCE WITH HONDA HAS BEEN AN APPALLING ONE SO FAR AND I WANT TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE PROCESS. AFTER HONDA?S HISTORY AND PENALTY OF WRONGDOING TO THE PUBLIC I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY TAKE MORE AGGRESSIVE MEASURES ADDRESSING SAFETY ISSUES BEFORE THEY CAUSE HARM. I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND INVOLVEMENT IN THIS BATTLE WITH HONDA AND TRYING TO MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT THEY CAN?T JUST PAY INDIVIDUALS MONEY AND BRUSH SAFETY ISSUES UNDER THE CARPET. *TR

UPON BEING HANDED THE KEYS TO MY BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICED A LOT OF SCRATCHES NEAR THE DOORS. I THOUGHT IT ODD SINCE IT'S A KEYLESS ENTRY CAR. THE SALESPERSON AGREED THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE SCRATCHES, AND SAID THOSE WOULD PROBABLY COME OUT, AND OFFERED ME A COURTESY "BUFFING." AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF MY NEW CAR, I NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PULLING ONTO THE STREET. I ALSO NOTICED IT TOOK MORE WORK TO STEER THE CAR THAN MY OTHER CAR WHICH I BOUGHT NEW FIVE YEARS AGO. I ALSO NOTICED SOME TAPE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT BUMPER THAT HADN'T BEEN REMOVED. IN ADDITION, THE TRUNK LID WASN'T ADJUSTED PROPERLY, SO IT CONTINUALLY FALLS DOWN WHEN I'M AT THE TRUNK AREA. NOW I AM WONDERING IF MY NEW CAR WAS NOT ONLY NOT "DETAILED," BUT NOT PROPERLY INSPECTED BEFORE "DELIVERY." FURTHERMORE, AT 16,000 MILES, IT NOW HAS A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE FRONT END. THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL). *TR
