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.

CAR WOULD NOT START COMPLETELY ONE NIGHT LEAVING ME STRANDED. NOW INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES AT LESS THAN 33K MILES. VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH STARTER AND HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT NO RECALL
Electrical system, Dec 19, 2020
MY 15 ACCORD EXL V4 IS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO AND 68K. START HAVING ISSUE TO START THE CAR. PUSH THE BUTTON AND BREAK, CAR DOESN'T START. TOOK MY CAR FOR A CHECK, I WAS BEEN TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE STARTER. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND LOTS OF 9TH GEN OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. UNACCEPTABLE FOR SUCH AGE CAR WITH STARTER ISSUE
Suspension, Wheels, Dec 8, 2020
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018. SINCE THEN TO DATE, 12/08/2020, I'VE REPLACED THE TIRES TWICE. THE TWO REAR TIRE HAVE REPEATEDLY WORN DOWN SEVERELY IN A SHORT TIME FRAME, CUPPING, WAVEY PATTERN. I'VE HAD THREE ALIGNMENTS DONE IN THIS TIMEFRAME AS WELL. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO. THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR SUCH A RESPECTED CAR BRAND. I'VE OWNED MULTIPLE HONDAS. I PROBABLY WON'T BE MAKING ANOTHER PURCHASE.
Electrical system, Dec 3, 2020
AT 52K MILES, ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK WHEN KEY IS TURNED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, ENGINE WILL FINALLY CRANK AND THEN WILL START AS IF NOTHING WERE WRONG. HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE IN EVERY 3-4 TIMES STARTING ENGINE IS ATTEMPTED.
Other or unspecified, Dec 3, 2020
MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD SPORT STARTED GIVING ME TROUBLE BY NOT STARTING. IT WOULD DO IT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE STARTING THE SUMMER OF 2019. BY THE WINTER, IT WASN'T STARTING UP UP TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. EVENTUALLY BY THE SUMMER OF 2020, THE CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE TIRES AND NOTICED NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY THE CONTACT RE-CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT WHILE IN REVERSE THE BATTERY SENSOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, A LITTLE WHILE LATER WHILE MOVING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND DROVE BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED FIRST TEXAS HONDA (3400 STECK AVE, AUSTIN, TX 78757; (512) 220-1121) WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,973.

BAD ALTERNATOR KEEPS CAUSING CORROSION ON THE BATTERY CONNECTORS.

WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR ENGINE START BUT THEN SHUTS DOWN. LIGHTS & RADIO ARE ONE MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD ON, CHECK ENGINE, CHECK TIRE. I ATTEMPT TO START CAR AGAIN AND HAPPENS 4 TIMES. WHEN CAR IS FINALLY UP AND RUNNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STAY ON.
Engine, Nov 6, 2020
MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND I GET THE OIL CHANGED EVERY THREE MONTHS REGARDLESS OF MILAGE. TODAY I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY. THERE WAS NO INDICATION LIGHT AND THE MORE I SEARCH ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD FIX THE DEFECT.
Electrical system, Nov 3, 2020
OUR 2015 HONDA ACCORD HAS DEVELOPED A STARTING PROBLEM THE VEHICLE HAS A PUSH BUTTON START AND MORE SO THAN NOT IT TAKES REPEATED PUSHES OF THE START BUTTON FOR THE CAR TO CRANK OVER. THIS CONDITION STARTED ROUGHLY ONE MONTH AGO AND IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME SINCE IT IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I DON'T WANT HER TO BE STRANDED BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T START. WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE AND THE START BUTTON ALL YOU HEAR IS A LOUD CLICK COMING FROM THE STARTER BUT IT DOESN'T CRANK OVER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH 2013 - 2015 HONDA ACCORDS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA IS BEING VERY IRRESPONSIBLE FOR NOT STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND ADMITTING IT IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE READ SAY IT IS A STARTER ISSUE AND EVEN THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM!!!
Electrical system, Engine, Nov 2, 2020
AT ONLY 38,XXX MILES THIS VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. INTERNET RESEARCH AND MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS INDICATES THAT THE STARTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT YET THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A CONCRETE ANSWER AS TO IF REPLACING THE STARTER WILL FIX THE PROBLEM LONG TERM. WITH A QUOTED REPLACEMENT COST OF $1,000 I AM LEERY TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED IF IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE COLD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUES. A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 38,XXX MILES AND BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUE. I AM OKAY WITH FIXING A FAULTY PART, BUT I AM NOT OKAY WITH A REOCCURRING ISSUES NOT HAVING AN EXACT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. ARE THE STARTERS IN THESE VEHICLES TRULY BAD OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE WITHIN THE CAR THAT IS CAUSING THE STARTER TO BLOW? A RECALL OR RESEARCH OUTSIDE OF HONDA (BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE IGNORING THE ISSUES) NEEDS TO BE ROLLED OUT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF, AND FIX, THESE STARTING PROBLEMS. STARTERS SHOULD NOT FAIL PRIOR TO 50,000 MILES. IF THEY ARE CONSTANTLY FAILING AT LOW MILEAGE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DONE WITH THE OPTION OF REPLACING THE ORIGINAL STARTERS WITH NON-FAULTY PARTS. IF THE STARTERS ARE SOLID PARTS AS-IS, RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE DONE TO DETERMINE WHY THE STARTERS ARE FAILING. AT $1,000 PER REPAIR, HONDA IS MAKING TOO MUCH MONEY FIXING KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES.
Electrical system, Nov 2, 2020
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND PERSISTED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNDRIVEABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VIN AND THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

LUCKILY THE SUNROOF COVER WAS CLOSED BECAUSE MY SON WAS SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT. THE WEATHER TODAY WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES AND RAINY. THE CAR WAS PARKED INSIDE OUR GARAGE BEFOREHAND SINCE THE NIGHT BEFORE.
Electrical system, Oct 28, 2020
MY STARTER CLICKS ONCE WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON, BUT THE CAR WON'T TURN ON. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT THING, BUT HAS STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. I'VE BEEN STRANDED NOW TWO TIMES BECAUSE OF IT.

WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AFTER HITTING BUILDING THE 1ST THING I DID WAS LOOK WHERE MY FOOT WAS..IT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I KNEW IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "DRIVER ERROR" BECAUSE I AM 80 YRS. OLD. BUT IT WAS THE CAR. ACTUALLY THIS HAPPENED BEFORE A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP CAR . SAME SITUATION..PULLING SLOWLY INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A MCDONALD'S PARKING LOT. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED CURB WENT DOWN A HILL AND ENDED UP ON NEW ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION..THAT LANE HAD NOT OPENED YET. I MANAGED TO STOP AT BOTTOM OF HILL.

MY SIRIUS/XM RADIO RECEPTION IS INTERMITTENT. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. INTERNET SEARCHES SUGGEST THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES. HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AND IS NHTSA CONSIDERING A RECALL?

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2015 HONDA ACCORD NORTH ON I-15 NEAR SALT LAKE CITY, UT, WE HEARD A VERY LOUD, EXPLOSION LIKE NOISE ON THE TOP OF OUR CAR. WE EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND FOUND THAT THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. IT HAD EXPLODED! THE AREAS OF THE CAR SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF WERE NOT AFFECTED.

WHEN VEHICLE IS OPERATING IT WILL STALL AND TURN OFF COMPLETELY. ALL CAR WILL TURN OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD FLICKER. IT STALLED ON ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. MY CAR STOPPED AS I WAS GOING 65 MPH, CARS BEHIND BE SWERVED AS MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE ALSO DOES NOT START WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WILL JUST FLICKER. I'VE CHANGED THE BATTERY TWO TIMES. I'VE GOT MY CAR DIAGNOSE AT AUTO ZONE AND A FUEL PUMP CODE CAME UP. TOOK IT TO HONDA TO TELL THEM MY SITUATION PAID 130$ FOR THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. WHEN THEY DID THE DIAGNOSE THEY SAID NOTHING CAME UP ON THEIR END. FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE IT AND MY CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I AM AFRAID IF I DRIVE IT, IT WILL STALL AND I WILL GET INTO A CRASH. NOBODY CAN DIAGNOSE THE CAR BECAUSE NO CODE POPS UP ANYMORE, BUT MY CAR STILL STALL OUT.

2015 HONDA ACCORD SPORT WON'T START INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK, WHEN I TURNED THE KEY AND IT CLICKS ON THE FIRST TRY, THEN WILL START ON THE SECOND TRY. TODAY, I HAD TO TRY THREE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START. I GOT THE BATTERY AND STARTER TESTED AND THEY WERE BOTH GOOD.

AFTER EXITING A DRIVE-THRU CAR WASH, DROVE THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AND STOPPED BEHIND A CAR EXITING VIA A DRIVEWAY ONTO MAIN STREET. WHILE I APPLIED BRAKE THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE UP TO 5000 RPM. I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM CREEPING FORWARD WITH MAJOR FORCE ON THE BRAKES. I MOVED THE SHIFT LEVER TO N AND PRESSED THE START/STOP BUTTON, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME EXITED, I RE-STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. HAVE NOT HAD A RECURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM. HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER YET BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THAT I TRUST THEM. SIMILAR PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS: 11331361, 11235107, 11142830, 11121723, 11119028, 11062545, 10948426 & 10860066. SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS RECURRING SAFETY ISSUE.
Electrical system, Sep 11, 2020
VEHICLE WILL NOT START WHILE IN PARK. ALL LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, ETC COME ON IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION, BUT WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO IGNITION, THE STARTER DOES NOT ENGAGE. IF YOU TAKE THE DRIVE SELECTOR TO NEUTRAL IT WILL START. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN SINCE IT FIRST STARTED. SO FAR I HAVE NOT BEEN STRANDED OR NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED.
