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.

WHILE PARKING CAR REAR BACK UP CAMERA HAS A BLACK SCREEN..
Other or unspecified, Sep 12, 2019
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.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE CAPILER SEIZED ON A 2015 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 41,400 MILES ON THE CAR. THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BEFORE THE FAILURE, BRAKE PADS WERE GOOD AND MEASURED 7 ON FRONTS AND 6 ON THE REARS. THE CAR HAD ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND THE 3 YEAR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY HAD ENDED ABOUT 9 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OF THE CAPILER DESTROYED THE BRAKE PAD MAKING THE BRAKE METAL ON METAL WHICH RUINED THE ROTOR. THE FAILURE REQUIRED THE CAR TO NEED REPLACEMENT OF REAR CAPILERS, BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. THE SAFETY DEPARTMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO DEFECTS OF THE HONDA ACCORD REAR BRAKING SYSTEM BECAUSE THESE DEFECTS/FAILURES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES.

STICKING PISTON RINGS RESULTING IN HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: VEHICLE MAINTAINED BY DEALER INCLUDING OIL CHANGES. VEHICLE HAS NO OIL IN RESERVOIR BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. VEHICLE BURNS OIL. PISTON RINGS STICK AND IT CAUSES OIL TO BURN EXCESSIVELY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CAMPAIGNS THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT. THEY KNEW ABOUT TSB 17-089 AND STILL GAVE MY VEHICLE A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED STATUS WITHOUT FIXING THE ENGINE PROBLEM FIRST. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH NO OIL IN IT!

I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD COUPE NOT STARTING. ONE TIME I WAS PARKED OUT OF TOWN. ANOTHER TIME I WAS IN TOWN, AFTER STOPPING MY VEHICLE AT A RESIDENCE WHERE I WAS VISITING. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE OTHER DAY IT TOOK 50 ATTEMPTS BEFORE MY CAR FINALLY STARTED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WONDER IF MY 4 YEAR OLD CAR WILL START WHEN I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE. THE STARTER IS $640.00 PLUS TAX AND AFTER PUTTING APPROX $700.00 IN ALREADY TO ONLY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MORE MONEY IN TO POSSIBLY SOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A GROWING CONCERN FOR NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON A CAR DISCUSSION BOARD. SOME HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR IF NEEDED.

AT ~92,500 MILES, THIS CAR HAS SUDDENLY BEGUN IN THE PAST WEEK TO SHUT OFF WHILE ACCELERATING/DRIVING (IN MOTION) ON SURFACE STREETS AND FREEWAYS. THE MULTIFUNCTION SCREEN AND/OR SOUND SYSTEM AND/OR DASH/ENGINE/ACCELERATION WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC ANYWHERE FROM 15-65 MPH. WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED, THE SYSTEM HAS QUICKLY REBOOTED AND ALLOWED ME TO RESUME DRIVING. IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE.

Electrical system, Aug 15, 2019
THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS TROUBLE STARTING. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AS THE ORIGINAL WENT BAD (THE ORIGINAL BATTERY WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD AROUND 35,000 MILES). THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE RESOLVED AND NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER THE CAR IS ACTING UP AGAIN. IT ONLY HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND I CANNOT REPRODUCE THE SYMPTOMS. THIS IS BASICALLY A BRAND NEW CAR BUT IT SEEMS AS THE ALTERNATOR OR STARTER IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I REALIZED THAT MY ENTIRE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED / SHATTER UNDER UNKNOWN CIRCUMSTANCES. I WAS AN THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 65 MPH IN LIGHT TRAFFIC AND THE WEATHER WAS PARTLY CLEAR.

I HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE, NOW ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, GRINDING OF THE STARTER AS DESCRIBED IN HONDA TSB 16-002. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BY OTHER CONSUMERS. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HONDA CONTINUES TO DENY. I WISH TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS IN HOPES OF EVENTUALLY HAVING A RECALL ISSUED.
