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.

IN 2016 HOWLING, HUMMING NOISE STARTED IN REAR WHEEL WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 40-55 MPH ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. NOISE WOULD INCREASE WITH SPEED. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED FAULTY WHEEL BEARING AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY ON FEB 13, 2017 AT 22,600 MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION IN FL, THE NOISE STARTED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN WITH A FAULTY WHEEL BEARING AT 26,690 MILES. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE FOR THE 2014-2015 MODEL YEARS FOR MY VEHICLE. MY WARRANTY WILL BE UP IN NOVEMBER 2017 AND I AM CONCERNED THAT I MAY CONTINUE TO HAVE RECURRING ISSUES AND EXPENSES DUE TO THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT HONDA CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE AND MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

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.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD COUPE 2015 WITH LESS THAN 20K MILES AND HAD 2 OCCURANCES WHERE THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THE WARNING SIGN SAID FCW SYSTEM FAILED AND WOULDN'T START. DID SEVERAL THINGS, CALLED FOR HELP AT THE DEALER AND AFTER 20 MINUTES LATER, IT RANDOMLY STARTED. THE SECOND TIME MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND WHEN SHE WAS GETTING READY LEAVE, IT DID THE SAME THING TO HER. LUCKILY HER WORK WAS ACROSS THE STREET AND CAME BACK AFTER HER BRAKE 2 HOURS LATER AND RANDOMLY STARTED. THIS CAR WAS NEVER LISTED IN A WRECK, HAS A 1 YEAR OLD NEW BATTERY WHICH WAS REPLACE LAST YEAR EVEN THOUGH IT'S A 2015 AND I'M REPORTING THIS AUGUST 2017. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON REMEDYING THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU!

THE SEATS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE 2015 HONDA CRV. THE DRIVER SIDE IN PARTICULAR IS VERY FIRM AND HITS PRESSURE POINTS IN THE LEGS, NO MATTER HOW THE SEAT IS ADJUSTED. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 1/2 AN HOUR CAUSED PAIN IN MY SCIATIC NERVE, WITH THE PAIN RADIATING DOWN MY LEG AND UP INTO MY LOW BACK. I COULD NOT GET COMFORTABLE ON A 4 HOUR DRIVE, DESPITE TRYING EVERY CONFIGURATION OF AVAILABLE SEATING ADJUSTMENTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AND A HALF AGO AND HAVE 30 DAYS TO RETURN THIS CAR TO CARMAX. I PLAN TO DO SO BECAUSE IT IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE.

2015 ACCORD SPORT WITH 26K MILES, HAVE HAD MY TIRED ROTATED TWICE, BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. CUPPING OF THE TIRES MAKE FOR LOTS OF ROAD NOISE AND VIBRATION. CALLED THE TIRE COMPANY---NOT A TIRE ISSUE, IT IS A HONDA ISSUE---NOT SURE HOW THEY WILL FIX IT, BUT NEW TIRES ROTATED BASED ON HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION WILL CONTINUE CUPPING AND RUIN THE NEXT SET. GREAT COMPANY NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND STEP UP TO OFFER A FAIR SOLUTION.

CAR HAD ABOUT 9000 MILES ON IT, WOULDN'T START AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 25 MINUTES FROM HOME. AUTOMATIC SHIFT SEEMS TO BE LOCKED. 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND, LONG WAIT FOR TOW TRUCK TO DEALER. NO SERVICE PEOPLE THERE. I WAS GIVEN A SHEET OF PAPER SHOWING A RECALL THAT HAS NOT BEEN DISTRIBUTED YET FOR 2013-2016 ACCORDS. THE CASE FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR MOUNTED AT THE TOP OF THE 12V BATTERY MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED WITH GAPS THAT COULD ALLOW FOR MOISTURE ENTRY, IF MOISTURE CONTAINING ROAD SALT, OR OTHER CONDUCTIVE SUBSTANCE,ENTERS THE BATTERY SENSOR, IT COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY, A FIRE. REFRAIN FROM CALLING TECH LINE FOR UPDATES. THE FACT IS I AM A WOMAN AND I BUY A NEW OR LEASE A NEW CAR EVERY THREE OR SO YEARS SO THAT I WON'T BE LEFT SOMEWHERE STRANDED AND IN DANGER. ANYTIME A WOMAN IS HELPLESS IN A NON WORKING CAR, DANGER IS THE FIRST ISSUE. SORRY, BUT WE DO HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE WORLD IS DIFFERENT FOR MEN AND WOMEN. HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 17-057 THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN FOR 2013-2016

I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD COUPE. THE BAR AROUND THE SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BROKEN FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN JUST OVER TWO YEARS. IT HAS BEEN FIXED THREE TIMES BUT THE DEALER STATED WE WERE ON OUR OWN THE FOURTH TIME. ONE TIME WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT FOR REPAIR, THEY FIXED THE CAR AS ANOTHER PERSON DID NOT SHOW WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT DOES FINE IF THE SEAT IS NOT MOVED BUT BREAKS WHEN YOU PUT THE SEAT UP AND DOWN OR UP AND BACK. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING.

2015 HONDA ACCORD HAS PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE NOISE PROBLEM. LUTE RILEY DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS DUE TO BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY RARE THAT A NEW CAR WITH LESS TWO AND HALF YEARS OLD AND MILEAGE LESS THAN 35K HAS REAR BRAKE WEAR-OUT. MY PREVIOUS TOYOTA CAMRY NEVER HAD REAR BRAKE PAD OUT FOR MORE THAN 12 YEARS AND > 155K. THE HONDA REAR BRAKE PAD PROBLEM IS DUE TO HONDA'S REAR BRAKE DESIGN/FABRICATION/MATERIAL PROBLEM. THUS HONDA SHOULD TAKE ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY.
