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.

THE CAR IS NOT GETTING THE ADVERTISED GAS MILEAGE. I AM ONLY GETTING 21 TO 22 MPG WHICH STINK. THE CAR BACKS UP WHEN IN PARK ALSO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PLEASE. THE BOTTOM UNDER THE CAR IS NOT FINISHED OFF. ONE OTHER THING IS THAT THE BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT VERY CLEAR AND YOU CANNOT SEE PROPERLY AND HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR TO CHECK ALL THE TIME. THE BACK END IS UP TOO HIGH. *TR

THE TRUNK FELL ON MY HEAD AND MY GRANDMOTHERS HEAD. IT DID NOT HURT WHEN IT FELL ON MY HEAD BUT MY GRANDMOTHER WAS IN PAIN WHEN IT FELL ON HERS. I LIVE ON A SLOPED DRIVEWAY, SO ANY TIME I OPEN MY TRUNK IT DOESN'T STAY OPEN AND FALLS RIGHT DOWN. IT STAYED OPEN A FEW TIMES, BUT WOULD THEN RANDOMLY COME FALLING DOWN. I CAN'T UNLOAD MY GROCERIES PROPERLY, I CAN'T LOAD MY TRUNK UP PROPERLY, IT'S VERY DISTURBING. ALSO, I TOOK IT TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID 'IT WAS FINE' AND 'NOTHING WAS WRONG.' ONE EVEN SUGGESTED I USED A BROOM TO KEEP THE TRUNK OPEN (WHICH IS ABSURD BECAUSE IT'S A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD. BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO THE CAR REPAIR SHOP ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL AND SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRUNK. *TR

AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF DRIVING MY NEW 2014 HONDA, I FELT THE CAR SWAYING AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE INSPECTED IN AUGUST BECAUSE THE PULLING BECAME VERY SEVERE EVEN WHEN DRIVING 30MPH I COULD FEEL IT. THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND READJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT. THE CAR DROVE MUCH BETTER. A MONTH LATER NOW I FEEL THE CAR START TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE BUT STILL NOTICEABLE. I TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM BUT THEY SAID ITS FROM THE CROWN IN THE ROAD. NONE OF MY OTHER CARS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACT HONDA CORPORATE AND WAITING TO BE CONTACTED. I HAD TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUEST THE SERVICE DIRECTOR BECAUSE I FELT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS. *TR

I DROVE THE BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD SON ON HIGH WAY 93 SOUTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. IT WAS FRIDAY NOON TIME, BUSY IN HIGH WAY. I FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TRIED TO CHANGED TO SLOW LANE. THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WITH ERROR CODE INSTEAD OF "D" IN THE PANEL. THERE WAS BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME. I PULLED IT OVER. IT WAS WITHIN 24 HOUR AFTER WE PICKED UP THE CAR. IT WAS SCARY EXPERIENCE! LUCKILY, WE ARE SAFE! EVEN LUCKIER, IT HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE IT, NOT MY 20 YEAR OLD, INEXPERIENCED CHILD DROVE. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IT OCCURRED WHILE HE DROVE. DEALER TOLD US IT WAS REGULATOR IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM BROKEN. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AS A SOLUTION. *TR

JUST PURCHASED MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH MANY SMALL HILLS. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BE OUT OF FOCUS, NOT ILLUMINATING OBJECTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHIN 25 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE, NOR CAN YOU SEE STREET SIGNS WITHIN THAT DISTANCE. WORSE, WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN THE SMALL HILLS THE ROADWAY VISIBILITY CHANGES RAPIDLY DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE CAR, OFTEN DROPPING THE VISIBILITY TO A SCARY 10-50 FEET AT 55 MPH. YES, YOU CAN USE YOU HIGH BEAMS TO HELP "IF CONDITIONS PERMIT". NEVERTHELESS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND UNDOUBTEDLY UNSAFE! I DID NOTIFY HONDA AMERICA AND OPEN A CASE #N012014-08-2801669, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE, AS THAT WAS THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASED IN ENGINE RPMS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW METER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) AUDIO CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE DEFAULT SETTING IS VERY LOW AND THEREFORE DIFFICULT TO HEAR. DURING AN UNINTENDED LANE DEPARTURE THE WARNING SYSTEM COULD NOT BE HEARD WHILE RADIO WAS ON. UPON APPROACHING A STOPPED VEHICLE THE AUDIO WARNING COULD NOT BE HEARD WITH RADIO ON. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE I HAVE EXPERIENCED SCIATIC NERVE PAIN DOWN MY LEG, SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN AND PELVIC NUMBNESS. THE DESIGN OF THE BOTTOM AND UPRIGHT PORTION OF THE SEAT ARE NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT A DRIVER CORRECTLY. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES I AM CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE AND TAKING A LOSS. I LOVE THE HONDA PRODUCT BUT THEY SHOULD MAKE CAPTURED TERRORIST DRIVE THIS CAR INSTEAD OF WATERBOARDING. *TR

EXCESSIVE FIXED HEADREST TILT FORWARD. SITTING SOMEWHAT UPRIGHT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT TILT THE NECK AND HEAD FORWARD CAN CAUSE NECK AND UPPER BACK PAIN. A HEADREST THAT CAN TILT FORWARD AND BACKWARD WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

HIT A SMALL POTHOLE AT LESS THAN 10 MPH APPROACHING INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THEN TIRE MASSIVE FAILURE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN SPEEDING UP TO 70 MPH NEARLY CAUSING FIRE. HAVE DRIVEN 50 YEARS AND HIT MANY POTHOLES WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR
Exterior lighting, Visibility/wiper, Aug 20, 2014
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE TERRIBLE AT NIGHT. I HAVE PERFECT VISION, UNCORRECTED, AND STILL THERE IS LIKE A STRAIGHT DARK BAR ACROSS WHERE THE TOP OF THE HEADLIGHTS REACH AND NOTHING IS VISIBLE ABOVE THAT POINT. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE A LITTLE BETTER BUT YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T ALWAYS DRIVE WITH THEM ON. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT. IT HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM ALMOST ANY SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I AM NERVOUS IF I HAVE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR ANY REASON, AND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY CAN BE TOUGH TOO. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LIST THIS SAME ISSUE ON HERE, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

SO FAR, NO ACCIDENT, BUT THIS TREND TO DISABLE ACCESS TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, EVEN BY A PASSENGER IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN PREVIOUSLY. IT'S HIGHLY DISTRACTING TRYING TO USE VOICE NAVIGATION AND IT ALWAYS DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL. THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO USE A SEPARATE HAND HELD GPS OR SMART PHONE, WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY MORE DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A CONTROLLED STUDY THAT DEMONSTRATES DISABLING NAVIGATION ACCESS WHILE DRIVING IS SAFER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE? HAVING USED FACTORY NAVIGATION SYSTEMS FOR OVER 12 YEARS, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT DISABLING NAVIGATION SYSTEMS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IS MORE DANGEROUS, AND REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IF ALTERNATIVE ROUTES ARE REQUIRED IN AN EMERGENCY. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF YOU ARE LOST IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD, OR SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING YOU? YOU DON'T DARE PULL OVER AND STOP. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS FURTHER ATTENTION. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY CLEARED A "FCW SYSTEM FAILED" MESSAGE AND I ENTERED THE INTERSTATE. WHILE TRAVELING IN THE LANE ADJACENT TO THE FAR LEFT AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 68 MPH, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED, THE FCW SYSTEM FAILED MESSAGE RETURNED, ALL EMERGENCY ICONS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AND MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE HAD NO RESPONSE AND WAS SITTING AT IDLE WHILE I DECELERATED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT UNDERWENT 3 DAYS OF SERVICE FOR WHAT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAILED ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. THE DAY AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THE CAR, WITHOUT SYMPTOMS OR WARNING, AGAIN VIOLENTLY JERKED, LOST ACCELERATION, AND DISPLAYED THE SAME SYSTEM FAILED MESSAGE. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 8 DAYS AND THE ECU AND MAIN WIRING HARNESS ARE BEING REPLACED. *TR

2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE DESIGN AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLES EXPANDED VIEW MIRROR. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE VEHICLE DISTORTION RELATED TO THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF VEHICLES AS THEY APPEARED IN THE EXPANDED VIEW DRIVER'S MIRROR, GENERATING A PERSPECTIVE WHERE ONE VEHICLE APPEARED AS TWO VEHICLES. ALSO, VEHICLES TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION APPEARED TO SWERVE AS THEIR IMAGE ENTERED AND EXITED THE EXPANDED VIEW DRIVER'S MIRROR. VEHICLES IN THE FAR LEFT LANE APPEARED LESS THAN HALF THEIR ACTUAL SIZE AND AT TIMES, SEEMED AS IF THEY WERE RIGHT NEXT TO HIS VEHICLE. *JB

CAME OUT ONE MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND FOUND ALL FOUR CAR WINDOWS AND SUNROOF SLIGHTLY OPENED. THE W J NODES AND SUNROOF OPENED BY THEMSELVES. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT NIGHT WHICH RAIN ENTERED THE CAR. IT'S A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING GOING BACK 7 YEARS THAT PEOPLE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WERE OPENED WITHOUT THEM DOING SO. IT'S BEEN OCCURRING IN HONDA AND ACURA MODELS. THEY TRY TO SAY THAT WE MUST HAVE DONE IT BY THE REMOTE; BUT I DON'T USE THE REMOTE, I USE THE CAR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE BLACK BUTTON TO LOCK AND SECURE THE DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND NOT A CONSUMER ISSUE. *TR
Electrical system, Jul 8, 2014
I CAN'T HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL CLICKER. DEALER SAID ALL OF THESE HONDA ACCORDS ARE LIKE THAT. IF I MAKE A WIDE TYPE TURN, THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND I MAY HAVE DRIVEN A MILE OR TWO BEFORE I REALIZE THE SIGNAL IS STILL ON. I DO WEAR NEW HEARING AIDS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED IS THERE A GOV'T STANDARD FOR THE CLICKER SOUND? *JS

HONDA ACCORD EX-L 2014 WILL SHUT-OFF AND COAST TO A STOP IF THE "START PUSH BUTTON" IS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SHOULD BE IN PARK BEFORE PRESSING THE START BUTTON HAS ANY AFFECT !! WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, I PLACED MY HAND ON MY RIGHT KNEE AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE "START PUSH BUTTON" AND TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR SHUT-OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. I COULD NOT RESTART UNTIL I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK.. DANGEROUS !! I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE WHEN MY HAND GOING TO MY RIGHT KNEE HIT THE START BUTTON, THE CAR STOPPED!. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING LESS THAN 5MPH SO NO ACCIDENT. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS - JUST LIKE IF YOU REMOVE YOUR KEYS WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER YOU CAN NOT REMOVE YOUR KEYS UNLESS THE CAR IS IN PARK AND THE KEY IS TURNED FROM RUN. *TR

THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING A VERY HESITANT ACCELERATION UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STOPPING. THIS HAS CONTINUED NOW WITH JUST OVER 1,000 MILES. CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY A MAINTENANCE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THEM, BUT THERE IS NO FIX KNOWN. THE PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU CAN NOT DEPEND ON THE CAR ACCELERATING WHEN NEEDED. IT DOES NOT HAVE RELIABLE ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. I WAS TOLD BY THE MAINTENANCE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE CAR IS A FLY-BY- WIRE AND HAS NO THROTTLE CABLE ANY LONGER, BUT IS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER. HE ASSURED ME THERE WAS NO FIX KNOWN NOR DID HONDA CORP INFORM THEM OF A PROBLEM OR A FIX. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS CONDITION AND HAVE NO FEELING OF RELIABILITY WITH THE CAR'S ACCELERATION. *TR
