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.

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM STARTING THE CAR. AT TIMES THE CAR WOULD START NORMALLY AFTER THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. AT OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE MORE THAN ONE TURN OF THE KEY OR AS MANY AS 7 TO 10 TURNS OF THE KEY FOR THE CAR TO START. THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK AT ALL TIMES. BEFORE THE CAR STARTED, ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SUCH AS RADIO, WINDSHIELD, A/C, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE WORKING AS NORMAL. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. THERE WAS NO WORK DONE ON THE CAR; ALL ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE PARTS THE SAME AS WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST PURCHASED.

CAR BATTERY ISSUES. WON'T HOLD A CHARGE. WILL NOT START AT RANDOM WEEKLY. JUST CLICKS EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINS AND RETURNING TO CAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER, BATTERY GOOD, ALTERNATOR GOOD, STARTER GOOD. 2DAYS LATER HAPPENS AGAIN. ESPECIALLY AFTER PUTTING IN FUEL. TURN CAR ON, BATTERY DEAD. RIDICULOUS. TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER. ALL DIAGNOSTICS GOOD. GO TO WORK, COME OUT TO LEAVE BATTERY DEAD. GET A JUMP FROM CO WORKER, DRIVE HOME. NEXT MORNING DEAD. TAKE IT TO AUTOZONE FOR CHARGE, BATTERY LOW ON CHARGE. GET BATTERY CHARGED 4 HOURS, DRIVE TO NY & BACK HOME. GO OUT TO 7ELEVEN BATTERY DEAD, CLICK CLICK. AUTOZONE OR DEALER REFUSE TO SELL BATTERY BECAUSE BATTERY READS GOOD. WHAT'S THE ISSUE. HONDA WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING CAR SAYS IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE WITH 'THESE' CARS AND $700 FOR NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR!!! FOR WHAT? FORD DEALER (WHERE PURCHASED) GAVE THE 'ALL GOOD' AS DID AUTOZONE TESTING.

UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. BATTERY TESTED FINE. HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND THE CAR STILL WON'T START TWO DAYS AFTER BEING REPLACED. THE RECALL FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR WAS ALSO DONE ON THE CAR AND THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

I AM HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY CAR STARTING. IT DOES ONE CLICK AND WON'T START. THERE IS NO TURNING OVER. IT LOOKS LIKE MY RADIO ISN'T RESETTING WHEN IT HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY BATTERY IS 100%, MY STARTER IS FINE, AND MY ALTERNATOR IS FINE AS WELL. AN HOUR AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP IT DIDN'T START AGAIN. CONNECTIONS AREN'T CORRODED. I HAVE TO ATTACH A BATTERY JUMP START PACK TO START MY CAR EVERY TIME TO FAILS. I HAVE READ FORUMS THAT HAVE CLAIMED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH FAULTY STARTERS FOR 2013-2015 HONDA ACCORDS, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A LEGAL RECALL. MY CAR IS JUST UNDER 50K MILES AT 49,600, AND LIKELY IS JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY MILEAGE.

I HAVE A 2015 HONDA ACCORD WITH ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON IT. A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON MY CAR. WELL THIS MORNING IT JUST WOULDNT START. THE BATTERY IS NEW. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH START IT WONT START. I'M GUESSING IT'S MY STARTED. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS ABOUT DEFECTIVE STARTERS ON 2015 HONDA ACCORDS. WHY ISNT THIS A RECALL?
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Oct 26, 2018
THE RIGHT REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE, OR WITH THE LOCK/UNLOCK INSIDE BUTTON OR MANUALLY. THE SYSTEM IS FROZEN ON THAT SIDE CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY CHILDREN THAT HAVE TO TRAVEL IN THE REAR SEAT. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR IN CASE OF ACCIDENT/FIRE OR ANY OTHER EMERGENCY.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jul 29, 2018
FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON. I HAVE HAD TO CALL GEICO FOR A JUMP START ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ALREADY. SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON, IT STRUGGLES TO TURN ON AND I HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES. OTHER TIMES IT WON'T TURN ON UNLESS I USE THE REMOTE START OPTION WITH MY KEY. THE CAR HAS NEVER TURNED OFF ON MY WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT A FEW TIMES WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE DISPLAY RESTARTS AND IT STARTLES ME BECAUSE IT GOES COMPLETELY BLANK AS IF THE CAR IS GOING TO SHUT OFF.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, JANUARY 31, 2018 AND AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 26, 2018. AFTER ESCALATING MY CONCERNS TO HONDA CORPORATE IN CALIFORNIA, LUCAS HONDA MADE THE REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH THE SECOND REPAIR WAS IMPROPERLY DONE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LUCAS HONDA MARCH 13, 2018 FOR THE SECOND REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH ALL THE LOOSE AND BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE, PLUS I HAD JUST RETURNED TO FL FROM TX AFTER HAVING MAJOR SURGERY WHICH LIMITED MY MOBILITY. I CALLED AND EMAILED TRACY TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THERE WAS A SMALL GAP IN THE RUBBER LINING THAT WAS AFFIXED TO THE GLASS AS WELL AS THERE WAS STILL LOOSE GLASS THAT I COULD HEAR WHEN TURNING THE CAR OR OPENING THE SUNROOF. IN FACT, THE SUNROOF JAMMED AND IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET IT CLOSED AGAIN, FROM THAT POINT I DIDN'T OPEN IT AGAIN. HE LEFT A VOICEMAIL ON 03/16/18 SAYING THAT ONCE IT HEATS UP THE RUBBER SHOULD MOLD IN PLACE SECURING THE GLASS. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DARIAN CURTIS AT HONDA CORPORATE THAT A DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER WOULD BE OVERSEEING THE 3RD REPAIR. I PICKED UP MY CAR SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING ELSE,NO EXPLANATION,NO RESOLUTION, NOTHING AT ALL. I HAVE SINCE TRADED IN THE VEHICLE FOR SOMETHING ELSE SINCE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING IT. THESE UNEXPLAINED INSTANCES COULD CAUSE HARM TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL - WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY, A LEVELED HIGHWAY, I VEERED TOWARDS THE RIGHT IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR SPEEDING FROM BEHIND ME. CAR PASSED ON MY LEFT - ALL WAS OK. THEN AS I WENT FROM THE BREAK PEDDLE TO THE GAS PEDDLE, BOOM THEN DRIVER SIDE AND DRIVER SEAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCKED, PULLING ME TOWARDS THE LEFT, ALL OF THIS WITHOUT COLLISION OR KNOWN IMPACT TO THE CAR.
Other or unspecified, Jan 3, 2018
THE PLASTIC CASE OF THE BATTERY SENSOR MAY HAVE GAPS THAT ALLOW MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. IF MOISTURE CONTAINING CONDUCTIVE SUBSTANCES (SUCH AS ROAD SALT) ENTERS THE BATTERY SENSOR, IT COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY, A FIRE.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Oct 27, 2017
MY ISSUE IS I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WITHOUT ANY DISCLOSED INFORMATION, DID THEY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MY VEHICLE BEING ON RECALL. ALSO I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THAT MY CAR PASSED THE INSPECTION BUT THEN TOLD ME I HAVE TO GO GET IT INSPECTED. MY VEHICLE FAILED THE INSPECTION AFTER I WAS TOLD THAT IT PASSED WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE MONITOR CATALYST, MONITOR EVAP, MONITOR 02, NONE WE'RE READY FOR AN INSPECTION. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR TO PUT SOME MILES ON IT. NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE THAT'S WHY I AM REACHING OUT.

I HAD A RECALLED DATED AUGUST 2017 TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DEALER PROBLEM INDICATED ON THE LETTER: A BATTERY SENSOR CASE MOUNTED ON TOP THE 12V BATTERY WHICH MAY HAVE GAPS THAT COULD ALLOW FOR MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER OF HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE IN NY. I WAS TOLD THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT AMERICAN HONDA WILL REISSUE A LETTER. CONSIDERING THE RISK INVOLVED IN DAILY DRIVING THE CAR, HOW SOON WILL THE ISSUE BE FIXED? I AM SCARED DRIVING THIS CAR AND FREELY SO. WHAT FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION HAS AMERICAN HONDA? KINDLY RESPOND.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2017 AND NOTICED WHENEVER IT RAINS, THE INTERIOR STINKS LIKE MOLD. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND THE RUBBER TRIM AROUND THE DOORS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS DETECTED BY SMELL, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO PROVE THIS TO A DEALER.
