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.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HONDA ACCORD TOURING FROM PAT PECK HONDA ON DEC. 1, 2015. THE CAR WHEN TEST DRIVEN VIBRATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AS THE CAR HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED IN APRIL OF 2015, I ASSUMED THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE FLAT SPOTTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE BIT "OUT OF BALANCE" AND THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES, TEST DROVE IT AND RETURNED IT TO ME AS ROADWORTHY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER REPRESENTED TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS TIRE BALANCE AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THEY EVEN CLAIMED THAT THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. I AM CONVINCED THAT THAT IS A LIE. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER THIS MORNING AND HE EXAMINED THE TIRES AND SHOWED ME ON HIS BALANCE MACHINE THAT THE TIRES ARE OUT OF ROUND. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I DO NOT CONSIDER THESE TIRES AS ROADWORTHY AND THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVELY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES MANUFACTURED 16/2015

WITH 800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED AT 65 MPH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT THE CAR BACK UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. AFTER 10 DAYS, WE RELUCTANTLY TOOK THE CAR BACK. THE DEALER SAID THEY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA, BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID. THEY SAID "DRIVER ERROR". IN LATE NOVEMBER, WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER SAYING OUR CAR MIGHT STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED, THE 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THANKFULLY IN A PARKING LOT. IT TOOK 10 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED. RIGHT AWAY, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, REMOVED OUR LICENSE PLATES, AND INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER WE WOULD NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN. HE SAIS IT WAS "DRIVER ERROR". THE NEXT WEEK WE TRADED THE CAR FOR A NEW FORD FUSION. IT COST US SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO THIS, BUT WE SAID IT WASN'T WORTH THE CHANCE THAT IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. THE DEALER AND MAYBE HONDA DID NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE ON THIS MATTER. THEY PUT IT ALL ON ME, THE CONSUMER. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

SCIATIC NERVE PINCHING SEVERELY IN RIGHT LOWER BACK AFTER TWO MONTHS. HIT DEER WITH CAR, TOYOTA RAV 4 RENTAL CAR, PROBLEM WENT AWAY. NOW, CAR BACK, TWO WEEKS, PROBLEM RETURNING. KEEPS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, BOTH TIMES. WORRIED BACK WILL GO OUT, NOT BE ABLE TO WORK.
Visibility/wiper, Dec 11, 2015
WHILE DRIVING IN EXTREME DARK CONDITIONS (EG ON A POORLY LIT COUNTRY ROAD), WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON, A WELL DEMARCATED VEIL OF DARKNESS COVERS APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (IE THE TOP HALF). THIS CURTAIN-LIKE VEIL OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VISION, TO THE POINT THAT HE/SHE MUST LOOK "UNDER" THE CURTAIN OF DARKNESS TO CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD. IF, HOWEVER, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, VISION IS MUCH IMPROVED (ALTHOUGH ONE CAN FAINTLY SEE THE DARKENED TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD). NOT ONLY IS THIS SITUATION UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS.

APPROX. 4 MONTHS INTO MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, THE BACKUP CAMERA STAYED ON, WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN D (DRIVE). FORTUNATELY IT WAS A SHORT DRIVE BUT IT DID CONCERN ME A LITTLE BIT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER. PICTURES FROM BOTH INCIDENTS ARE ATTACHED. ON THE 2ND INSTANCE THE AUDIO SYSTEM SAID "TURNED OFF" WHILE MUSIC WAS PLAYED LOUD AND CLEAR. I CHANGED GEARS A FEW TIMES WHILE ACTUALLY IN THE PARKING SPOT TO SEE IF IT RESETS, BUT NO LUCK. INCIDENT HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER YET. WAS THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR THINKING THAT I WAS REVERSING THE CAR WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY GOING FORWARD? ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE INTEGRATION OF TRANSMISSION TO ELECTRONICS? WHAT IF THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY OR EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS LIKE FORWARD COLLISION OR LANE DEPARTURE ALERTS DO NOT WORK? I AM CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT VERY CONCERNED FOR FAMILY AND MY OWN SAFETY.
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 9, 2015
WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS, OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE. THIS HESITATION WILL LAST 1-3 SECONDS AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. THIS HESITATION CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE AS EXPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, AND THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE ITS PURCHASE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, BUT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT SINCE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO STOP USING THE ECON BUTTON. I HAVE STOPPED USING THIS FEATURE, BUT THE ISSUE HAS PERSISTED, (ALTHOUGH IT HAS LESSENED IN OCCURRENCES). THE ISSUE CAN OCCUR 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK, WITH THE LAST OCCURRENCE ON 12/8/15. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE VEHICLE 15-036, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED, BUT LAST TIME AT THE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T FIND THE TSB, SO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE LIKELY HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE.

EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE COMING FROM WINDOWS. MAINLY NOTICED FROM DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS. MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. NO WATER LEAKS DETECTED DURING TIME OF RAIN OR DURING CAR WASH.

I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON JULY 2015. MY CAR HAS 5,350 MILES. I NOTICE WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY TO ADJUST TO THE SPEED ALMOST LIKE A PUSH BACK/STALL. THERE IS ALSO RATTLING WHEN I DRIVE THAT I CAN'T ATTRIBUTE TO ANY PERSONAL ITEMS.
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 10, 2015
INTERMITTENTLY, BUT ALWAYS UPON ACCELERATION (COULD BE PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MERGING/SPEEDING UP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR STARTING TO MOVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN) THE CAR WILL FALL FLAT WITH NO POWER. IT DOESN'T STALL, JUST DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. MOST TIMES, HAPPENS IN SECOND GEAR. RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN PRESSING IT AGAIN MOST TIMES RESOLVES THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES, IT TAKES A FEW TRIES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND I HAVE HAD MANY MOTORISTS SWERVE AROUND ME OR BLOW THE HORN AT ME BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE CAR MOVING FAST ENOUGH. I JUST SPENT $30,000 ON THIS NEW CAR, AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY'RE SENDING ME ON MY WAY WITH A VEHICLE THAT'S A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP.
Power train, Other or unspecified, Nov 9, 2015
THIS IS 2015 BRAND NEW ACCORD LX WITH CVT. THE ISSUES ARE: 1. THE CAR HAS OBVIOUS SIDE TO SIDE SWAY AT SPEED 15 MPH. 2. THE CAR HAS BIG AMPLITUDE VIBRATION AT SPEED 25~35 MPH. ESPECIALLY ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE. 3. THE WHOLE CAR IS VIBRATING AT HIGH SPEED (>70 MPH). MY HANDS AND LEGS FELT NUMBED AFTER DRIVING 30 TO 40 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY.

THE HEADREST SLANTS FORWARD PUSHING THE HEAD OUT OF LINE WITH THE BACK. THIS CAUSES NECK PAIN. THE HEADREST WILL ADJUST UP AND DOWN ONLY. AFTER DRIVING LONG DISTANCE YOUR NECK IS IN PAIN.

LOST POWER STEERING, WHICH IS ELECTRIC ON THIS CAR. SUDDEN INCREASED EFFORT REQUIRED TO STEER, LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN GAUGE CLUSTER SHOWING STEERING WHEEL AND EXCLAMATION POINT. DEALER HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT SINCE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A DOZEN OCCASIONS BUT NOT WITH REGULARITY.

WHILE TURNING LEFT AFTER THE STOP LIGHT DISPLAYED GREEN, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. ONLY THEN WAS I ABLE TO ROTATE THE STEERING WHEEL. FORTUNATELY IT WAS A MID-DAY AND THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND. TWO DAYS LATER, AGAIN WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM WORK WHICH IS ABOUT A MILE AWAY, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED WHEN DEPARTING FROM THE INTERSECTION. THIS TIME I WAS GOING STRAIGHT, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED AND WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE. I HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN TO ENTER THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, WHEN WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY WAS ABLE TO MAKE A WIDE SWERVE AND PARK IN THE LOT. I COULD SEE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) INDICATOR TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD. AGAIN TO RELEASE THE LOCK, I HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO NEARBY HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE ENGINEER SAID THAT HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM!!! WHAT A SHAME!!! HIS TOTAL LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PROBLEM IS MORE WORRISOME THAN THE ACTUAL DEFECT ITSELF. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUCH AN ISSUE IN ONLINE. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER CAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS TO TAKE SERIOUS ACTION ON. MY TRUST ON HONDA'S SAFETY IS LOST NOW!

THE TIRES ARE ALL PERMANENTLY DAMAGED DUE TO IMPROPER TIRE WEAR. EXTREMELY LOUD ROAD NOISE REDUCED HANDLING SAFTEY AND STOPPING PROPERTIES. THE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR IS BEING CAUSED BY A MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. ONE THAT HONDA HAS FAILED TO OWN UP TO. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW THE PEOPLE FROM THE TIRE SHOP SAID THAT MANY NEW HONDAS COME IN THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. HOWEVER, I DIDNT SEE ANY ROCKS OR ANY OBJECT FLYING TOWARDS MY CAR. IT WAS VERY STRANGE FOR THE SUNROOF TO JUST EXPLODE OUT OF NOWHERE. I WENT TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS IMPACTED BY AN OBJECT. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING AROUND THAT WOULD HAVE SMASHED INTO THE SUNROOF.
Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 9, 2015
WHILE IDLING DOWN THE STREET , I NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER INDICATED AN RPM OF LESS THAN 500. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE FORWARD AND HAD NO RESPONSE . THE ACCELERATOR WAS THEN DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH STILL NO RESPONSE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS THE LETUP ALL OF THE WAY AND DEPRESSED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE SPEEDED UP AS NORMAL. THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED IN A 2013 HONDA THAT WE JUST TRADED IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT EXISTED FOR THE TWO YEARS THAT WE OWNED IT. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON A FREEWAY. HONDA SAYS THAT THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO VEHICLES THAT HAVE EVER BEEN REPORTED WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. PLEASE ENTER THIS AS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS TRAFFIC PROBLEM .

WHEREAS THIS DOES NOT SERVE AS AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO LIFE OR LIMB, AS A RN OF 10 YEARS, I DO FEEL IT NEEDS ATTENTION FROM NHTSA FOR LONG-TERM HEALTH HAZARDS. THE SEAT IN THIS VEHICLE, WHICH I HAVE OWNED FOR 2 DAYS, IS NOT ONLY UNCOMFORTABLE, IT CAUSES SEVERE LEFT LEG NUMBNESS, PAIN, TINGLING, BURNING THAT DOESN'T RESOLVE WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A STEP ABOVE DISCOMFORT, IT IS A LONG-TERM, POSSIBLY SHORT-TERM HEALTH HAZARD, AS I DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD HANDLE ANOTHER 1 HR DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE AND STILL WALK WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. BEING ABLE TO WALK AND HAVING INTACT NEUROVASCULAR STATUS IN LOWER EXTREMITIES IS QUITE IMPORTANT AND THIS VEHICLE COMPROMISES THAT SIGNIFICANTLY. AS SAID, I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A WIDE GAP BETWEEN ERGONOMICS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. I TRULY FEEL THAT, FROM A MEDICAL STANDPOINT, HONDA HAS BRIDGED THIS GAP AND CREATED A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE DESIGN OF THESE SEATS. I WILL BE RELENTLESSLY SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION IN THE MEANTIME, BUT MY ACHING BUTT AND NUMB LEG ARE CRYING FOR HELP FROM HONDA AND NHTSA.

WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON RT. 95 IN DELAWARE, THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED ON MY THREE MONTH OLD 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE SOUND WAS SIMILAR TO A LOUD GUN SHOT, FOLLOWED BY A CRACKLING NOISE. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN MY CAR DID NOT SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING HIT THE CAR ROOF, AND NONE OF THE SURROUNDING VEHICLES TOOK ANY ACTION THAT WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE SKY. THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED, SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE CABIN. PRICE HONDA IN DOVER, DE, REPLACED THE SUNROOF GLASS UNDER WARRANTY. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARLTON, NJ, (BURNS), WAS RELUCTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED AND EVEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE US FOR TOUCH-UP PAINT. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEWS REPORTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY MAKES AND MODELS. NHTSA SHOULD PUT AUTO MANUFACTURERS ON NOTICE ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND COMPEL THEM TO TAKE ACTION TO ENSURE ALL SUNROOF GLASS IS THICK ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE FUTURE GLASS FAILURE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SEVERE ACCIDENTS WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE HAD THREE INCIDENTS IN THE 4500 MILES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR WHERE THE SUN REFLECTS OFF OF THE SHINY PORTION OF THE CHROME CENTER CONSOLE AND BLINDS ME. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OTHER COMPANY'S USE NON-REFLECTIVE TO AVOID THIS. I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I ALSO THINK FMVSS STANDARDS SHOULD ADDRESS THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION. I THREW A RAG OVER THE PORTION OF THE CONSOLE TO PREVENT THE SUN FROM REFLECTING IN MY EYES SO I WOULD NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT.
