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.

2015 HONDA HAS INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH STARTING. I HEAR A CLICK AND THEN IT DOESN'T START. MY RADIO SHOWS AND SO DO MY DASH LIGHTS. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE RESETTING MY RADIO CLOCK. I PLUG A JUMPER PACK IN AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTS. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND MY BATTERY IS 100%. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE THAT MY BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR ARE WORKING GREAT. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, BUT ONCE I LEAVE TO STOP IN TO A STORE FOR 10 MINUTES, IT SUDDENLY WON'T START AGAIN. IT IS HAPPENING JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I BOUGHT THIS CERTIFIED USED IN JUNE LAST YEAR AND THIS IS MY THIRD BATTERY. I AM JUMPING MY CAR REGULARLY EACH DAY AS I DRIVE AROUND.

THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START. JUMPED THE CAR WITH ANOTHER CAR VIA BATTERY CABLE THEN IT STARTED. DROVED THE CAR HOME ABOUT 4 MILE DRIVE. CHECKED BATTERY VOLTAGE WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND IT READS 12.4 VOLTS WHICH IS A LOW READING. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TRIED TO RESTART AND THE CAR WON'T START. CHARGED THE BATTERY WITH A BATTERY CHARGER AND RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN THIS TIME THE CAR STARTED. CHECKED THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AGAIN WHILE IT RUNNING AND THIS TIME BATTERY VOLTAGE READS 14.5 VOLTS. SOME WEIRD IS HAPPENING WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM WITH THIS CAR. THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES ALREADY. IT'S INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT IT WON'T START. IT'S NOT THE BATTERY AND IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR.

STARTER GRINDING NOISE! ASKED HONDA DEALER ABOUT THE GRINDING NOISE? THEY COULD NOT GET THE STARTER TO MAKE THE NOISE(38,139 MILES((5/2017)). SPEED AHEAD 1 1/2 YEARS. I PUT 2 STARTERS AND A NEW BATTERY(2/19). STILL HAVING GRINDING ISSUES(51,326 MILES). CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CORP. TO SEE ABOUT ANY RECALLS.THEY WANTED A HONDA DEALER TO DIAGNOSE COMPLAINT. JUST GOT BACK FROM DEALER(2-16-2019). THE HONDA DEALER TOLD ME ABOUT A SERVICE BULLETIN: STARTER GRINDING OR SPINS AT STARTUP. (2013-2016 ACCORD V6 A/T ONLY & 2013-2015 CROSSTOUR V6 A/T ONLY). CORRECTIVE ACTION: REPLACE STARTER (PT# 31200-5G0-A04) AND ROTATE THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLOCKWISE 1 BOLT HOLE). THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST ROUGHLY $600 PLUS DOLLARS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IF THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE ON THESE SPECIFIC VEHICLES, THEN WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL!!!

PROBLEM WITH GEAR BOX, BATTERY SENSOR AND ALSO STARTER
Power train, Electrical system, Jan 24, 2019
WE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHERE THE CAR WILL NOT START. IT JUST MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. WE CAN JUMP START IT AND DRIVE IT AROUND AND SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR MONTHS AT A TIME. THEN RANDOMLY IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES BY AUTOZONE, ADVANCE AUTO, O'REILLY, AND WALMART SERVICE CENTER. THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM ALWAYS REPORTS AS FINE. I RECENTLY HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT WALMART AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT GET IT TO START. HE JUMPED IT AND DROVE AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BAY TO CHECK THE BATTERY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HE REMOVED THE CABLES AND CLEANED THE TERMINALS AND SPRAYED ON BATTERY POST PROTECTANT AND THEN JUMPED IT AGAIN. I DROVE HOME AND HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS FOR OVER A MONTH AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS ALL STARTED AFTER HAVING THE FACTORY RECALL BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR REPLACED IN LATE 2017. THIS IS AT LEAST THE EIGHT TIME OVER THE PAST 1+ YEARS. I WAS TOLD BY AT LEAST ONE AUTOZONE EMPLOYEE THAT THEY HAVE SEEN MANY HONDA VEHICLES WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM BECAUSE THE BATTERY SENSOR OR MAIN FUSE BLOCK WILL INTERMITTENTLY BLOCK ANY VOLTAGE COMING FROM THE BATTERY INTO THE STARTING SYSTEM. IT IS RANDOM AND WILL SOMETIMES EVEN PREVENT A JUMP START UNLESS YOU TAP ON THE TOP OF THE SENSOR. AND THEN IT STARTS FINE. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE IS NO SUCH PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO CALL ME BACK TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO THE DATE OF PURCHASE AND NOT MILEAGE AND ALL THEY WILL SAY IS THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE MY STARTER IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH WILL COST OVER $700 NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY.

MY 2015 ACCORD HAS APPROX 62,000 MILES, I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND IT HAS BEEN 100% MAINTAINED PRECISELY TO ALL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES BY SCOTT HONDA OF WEST CHESTER PA SINCE NEW. FOLLOWING A DISSATISFACTORY SERVICE VISIT TO SCOTT HONDA, I OPENED HOOD TO PERFORM MINOR FLUIDS CHECK, AND OBSERVED ALARMING CORROSION OF BATTERY TERMINALS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS LEVEL OF ACCUMULATION OF CORROSION ON BATTERY TERMINALS FOR ANY VEHICLE IN MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I DISCONNECTED, CAREFULLY INSPECTED AND CLEANED BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE TERMINALS AND HARDWARE. THE POSITIVE CABLE FITTING IS DISINTEGRATED AND NEARLY THE THICKNESS REMAINING EQUIVALENT TO A PIECE OF "ALUMINUM FOIL". REMOVING THE FINISHING TAPE OF POSITIVE HARNESS REVEALS HEAVY GREEN/BLUE CORROSION BEYOND BATTERY FITTING AND CABLE SWAGE. ALSO OBSERVED HEAVILY CORRODED NEGATIVE BATTERY CONNECTION BEHIND DRIVER-SIDE WHEEL. NEGATIVE TERMINALS AND CONNECTIONS ARE ALSO CORRODED AT BATTERY AND BATTERY SENSOR. BATTERY SENSOR WAS SERVICED IMMEDIATELY UPON RECALL NOTICE BY SCOTT HONDA. BATTERY IS OEM ORIGINAL AND EXHIBITS NO SIGNS OF BATTERY PROBLEMS OR STARTING...BEYOND CORROSION. SCOTT HONDA NEVER ALERTED OF THE BATTERY CORROSION MATTER, NOR ASSERTED ANY SERVICE NEED OR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TO CORRECT CONDITION. THUS, THERE VERY MANY "SAFETY CHECKLISTS" AND STATE INSPECTIONS ARE LARGELY SYSTEMATIC "WINDOW DRESSING". SCOTT HONDA HAS IGNORED MY WRITTEN REQUESTS AND PHOTOS FOR EXPLANATION, ROOT CAUSE, OR FOLLOW UP. I WILL SEEK COMPENSATION FROM AMERICAN HONDA TO REPLACE ALL BATTERY CABLE HARNESSES AND INSPECTION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AT HONDA EXPENSE. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED. I URGE ACCORD OWNERS TO VISUALLY PERFORM THEIR OWN UNDER-HOOD INSPECTIONS....REGARDLESS THE AMOUNT INSPECTIONS THEY PERCEIVE TO BE PERFORMED BY DEALER.
