Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2015 Honda Accord

Car does not start even thought battery is fine. honda is unwilling to help without a diagnostic fee on an issue many 2013-2015 accord models have. car was parked after running completely fine, when i was trying to start it again it refused to turn on completely. tire light flashes and avs/engine/battery light are on.

Starter began grinding and skipping at 55,000 miles. i drive 70 miles round trip each day, so the mileage doesn't represent the actual limited amount of starts i have had with this car. tsb from honda declares 'improper clearance in starter with pinion gear may cause starting malfunction.' must rotate torque converter bolts one round clockwise and replace starter to fix. but, this won't fix the issue. the improper clearance is a design flaw. new starter will do the same thing. if the starter malfunctions again, then a new torque converter is required. this is absolutely ridiculous and unfounded in car maintenance. a bad starter design costs owners +3,400$ to remedy the second time. which still won't fix it. the third starter still won't have the proper clearance.

Vehicle is not starting when i push the ignition. i've been to many forums where similar problems have been reported and many solutions tried but no fix found. people have spent thousands of dollars to fix this issue and still no fix. i've replaced the battery and had the electrical system tested with no issue found. honda issued tsb 16-002 for v6 accord models but doesn't acknowledge the issue on my v4 model. vehicle is parked - issue has been ongoing and is getting progressively worse to the point that i am not drving it! spoke with honda customer complaint rep and informed that the tsb still does not apply to my car. in the mid-west during the winter months the risk of being stranded in sub-zero temps is very real with this issue and has already happened to me twice.

Vehicle needs new battery every 2 years. has left me stranded twice. the car has less than 90,000 miles and is only 4 years old. honda has replaced under recall some type of battery sensor but this has not helped. there are two tsb's that i know of: tsb 16-002 and tsb 17-057. car gurus website has a blog with a large number of accord owners all in the same boat. people are replacing starters, alternators, ignition switches, batteries, etc. to no avail. honda has turned its back on its customers. i can not afford this. please help.

My car has 58,000 miles. and now the car start up first time and after starting and stopping it the vehicle will intermittently not start. when i push the push start button the lights come on and the radio and the heat comes on but it just clicks. i took it to the local honda dealer and they recommend the i replace the starter and rotating the torque converter one bold hole counterclockwise.

Inconsistent start up. one click without actually starting. it may take 1-20 attempts to turnover. battery is about a year old. mileage is 117,000 miles. basic maintenance has been performed on this vehicle.

Whenever attempting to start the vehicle after it had recently been turned off (ex: when getting gas or running into store quickly) the dash and interior lights up and chimes but makes no attempt at start (no fuel pump power or attempt to crank over motor) and this occurs frequently amidst my vehicle and others of the same year/ make without ever receiving a check engine light or warning. he noted as well that the vehicle has had the battery, starter, and alternator tested without any conclusive results as to the issue. honda dealership as well failed to give me or other owners a conclusive fix for the issue and remains ongoing.

Intermittent issues with starting. i hear and see a flicker on the dashboard and lights, however it doesn't start.i plug a jumper pack in and it immediately starts, as if nothing happened. this will have 5-6 times a week after running fine throughout the day. just happens surprisingly. the starter has been replaced in which the honda dealership says was the issue. there is clearly some other issue happening, maybe the electrical system but they refused to check to even help diagnose again.

In the last year my car has not turned on 3 times. when i push the start button it just clicks and all the warning lights come on. only after many attempts and waiting more than half hour it finally turns on with all warning lights. in july, we changed the battery. thinking this might be the problem. it was not. again today the car would not start and all the warning lights are on. i took it to the dealer who is charging me $150!to do a diagnostic check. i purchased the car in 2015 brand new. it currently has 35k miles. a car with few miles and only 4 yrs old should not be giving any problems. even less having to pay for a diagnostic or manufacturing related problems.

Defective starter meant i was often stranded, unable to start the car. had to replace starter on car after less than four years of use.

I drove my car for 10 minutes and then stop at the gas station to put some gas then after i tried to turn it on again but my car will not start and then after waiting for more than 30 minutes he did finally start but all the lights were still on then i drove it for another five minutes and stop the car to park and then wait for five minutes and then the car start again but the lights were off this time i'm not sure if this is safe but it's been doing this for more than three times already i don't know what to do.

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.

All of the door actuators failed at 30000 miles i spend 400 dollars fixing just one drivers side)

The ignition switch is a problem, it works on and off. i checked the battery cables and they are clean and firmly secured. i replaced the fob battery to no avail. i have only 35,000 miles on it. i understand this is a problem with honda. this is constant problem when i attempt to start the car.

My battery is experiencing an electrical shortage every time i start my car, when i tap the battery channels the car starts again and i have to reprogram due to shut down. it has continue to happen as of july 15,2019.

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.

Got off work one night got in my car to go home turn the key and it don't start. so then i try to remove the key it also would not let me remove it from the ignition. so then i pulled the hood release. when i opened the hood i see a squirrel under the hood. had the car towed to honda dealership they told me a rodent chewed up some wiring so it made the car think it was in gear that's why it wouldn't start. i did a little research come to find out the wiring in the honda are soy-coated wiring and rodents love chewing on that.

On going starting problem. for the last several month every time in the mornings it hesitate to start. sometime it take seven or more try to get the car started by putting in to neutral, turning the steering wheel, pump the brake etc. don't know why and how and who will be responsible to correct this problem?

The starter in 2015 honda fail.

Takata recall car does not want to start suddenly, it happens after it rains usually but today it did not rain and it happened again i read reviews of others who had same problems all the dash symbols go on too it happens after i shut car off and shortly try to restart it

Purchased vehicle a year ago and having problems with push button starter. lights and radio will come on but when you push the button to start it just clicks. have replaced battery twice and had new starter and still having problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. the vehicle was taken to apostolakis honda (located at 3156 elm rd, cortland, oh 44410, (800) 900-4600) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 21,000.

2015 honda has intermittent issues with starting. i hear a click and then it doesn't start. my radio shows and so do my dash lights. it doesn't seem to be resetting my radio clock. i plug a jumper pack in and it immediately starts. i took it to autozone and my battery is 100%. i took it to the honda dealership and they state that my battery, starter, and alternator are working great. they say there is nothing wrong with my car, but once i leave to stop in to a store for 10 minutes, it suddenly won't start again. it is happening just out of the warranty period. i bought this certified used in june last year and this is my third battery. i am jumping my car regularly each day as i drive around.

Intermittent problems with starting. push ignition button a few times before it will start although there is power. then finally completely failed to start. battery is good, starter good... extra voltage by jump starting seems to temporarily fix it. no honda acknowledgement on the issue although it's widely documented by owners.

Try to start vehicle and one faint click happens, no start. problem persists. if i wait a minute or so and try again, sometimes it will work. other times, i've needed someone to jump my car. the honda dealership says everything is fine. replaced the battery 7 months ago. this has occurred about 5 times over the last 2.5 months. both in the morning and later in the day. both cooler weather and warmer. car is usually stationary for 8-12 hrs before attempting to start the vehicle.

I bought this certified vehicle 8/7/16 from dublin honda. this vehicle has a back up camera as a safety feature that is standard on all models. it has a defective backup camera. back up camera is completely black when i back up. honda should be responsable to replace defective cameras as they are not optional

The car was parked and would not start.. the dash board did not light up. i opened the access panel on the gear shift and put the key in and the car started after 2 attempts. previously, i had trouble starting the car, but it would start. i called carey paul honda and an advisor said it should be corrected when the new sensor was put in. i made an appointment and the new sensor was put in a while ago. now i'm having extensive problems with the car starting. this is a push button to start vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle would not restart and a clicking sound was heard. after several attempts, the vehicle finally restarted and was driven to the contact's home. the contact also stated that the vehicle did not start when the start button was depressed approximately thirty times. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

Problems with the car starting. after pressing the start button it sounds like static, clicks, or does nothing at all. extended warranty has replaced, battery and starter twice in a 2 month period and still same problem. car only has 56,000 miles. dealer can't seem to fix problem. have had car only 13 months.

In 4 years i have had to replace the battery twice and now i am having problems with the starter. and the car has only 48000 miles. poor quality products installed on honda cars that used to be one of the most reliables in the market

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v060000 (fuel system, other). while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle stalled. additionally, when the push start button was engaged, there was an abnormal grinding noise detected and the button had to be pushed multiple times to start the vehicle. furthermore, the check engine warning indicator was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to kendall honda (846 goodpasture island rd, eugene, or 97401 (855) 981-5504), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 09827357. the failure mileage was 52,000.

Takara inflators didn't deploy when my vehicle was involved is a horrible front end accident involving injuries also ad for the electrical system problem my climate control never turns on and i've been back and forth at the honda dealer service department and they can't seem to find the issue they told me its something to do with electrical

June 2018 i took my 2015 honda accord for a battery sensor recall. the honda dealer replaced the battery sensor. now i'm having issue of car not start. at first i thought it was the battery. the honda dealer tested the battery and the battery is good. after several weeks the car won't start again. after reading a service bulletin about the battery sensor. i tested the battery sensor and it the test. the battery sensor that the honda dealer replaced was faulty after 9 months of use.

While driving all my lights came on it is due to the abs going out but my warranty is up. several people have gone into ny mechanic and this must be fixed because if there is a true problem, i wouldn't know it due to the fact all lights are on. the part alone is 1500 dollars. why not fix this issue so consumers are out of pocket for something that is faulty. the burleson dealership stated it was a computer in my car that needs to be replaced. charging me a 100 dollars just to give me the wrong info. and saying the work would be over 2500 dollars. i was on the hwy when all lights came on.

The vehicle was unable to start. jumped the car with another car via battery cable then it started. droved the car home about 4 mile drive. checked battery voltage while the car is running and it reads 12.4 volts which is a low reading. turned off the car and tried to restart and the car won't start. charged the battery with a battery charger and restarted the car again this time the car started. checked the battery voltage again while it running and this time battery voltage reads 14.5 volts. some weird is happening with the charging system with this car. this happen 3 times already. it's intermittent problem that it won't start. it's not the battery and it's not the alternator.

Starter grinding noise! asked honda dealer about the grinding noise? they could not get the starter to make the noise(38,139 miles((5/2017)). speed ahead 1 1/2 years. i put 2 starters and a new battery(2/19). still having grinding issues(51,326 miles). called american honda corp. to see about any recalls.they wanted a honda dealer to diagnose complaint. just got back from dealer(2-16-2019). the honda dealer told me about a service bulletin: starter grinding or spins at startup. (2013-2016 accord v6 a/t only & 2013-2015 crosstour v6 a/t only). corrective action: replace starter (pt# 31200-5g0-a04) and rotate the torque converter clockwise 1 bolt hole). the honda dealer said it would cost roughly $600 plus dollars to remedy the problem. if this is such an issue on these specific vehicles, then why is there not a recall!!!

The actuators on the drivers side and the passengers rear door are both bad mechanic could not fix because of such high demand there was none in stock seemed to be a defect on manufacturer

I am unable to start vehicle when pressing push start button. the vehicle will start after approximately 10-15 times of trying. it started happening two weeks ago but vehicle would ignite with no more than two tries. vehicle will now start after multiple times getting worst every day. battery life was checked and no issues were found with battery. it happens every time i turn off vehicle and try to restart.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. the contact stated that the ignition would not turn over from a cold start in the morning due to starter failure. the contact had to make several attempts before the vehicle would start. the failure was becoming more frequent. the vehicle was taken to holler honda (2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807, (877) 872-9906) where it was confirmed that the starter failed. the manufacturer was not notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 45,000.

We have had intermittent problems where the car will not start. it just makes a clicking sound. we can jump start it and drive it around and sometimes the problem goes away for months at a time. then randomly it will not start again. i have had the battery and charging system checked multiple times by autozone, advance auto, o'reilly, and walmart service center. the battery and charging system always reports as fine. i recently had the oil changed at walmart and the service technician could not get it to start. he jumped it and drove around to the other side of the bay to check the battery and it happened again. he removed the cables and cleaned the terminals and sprayed on battery post protectant and then jumped it again. i drove home and had not had any problems for over a month and now it has happened again. this all started after having the factory recall battery management sensor replaced in late 2017. this is at least the eight time over the past 1+ years. i was told by at least one autozone employee that they have seen many honda vehicles with a similar problem because the battery sensor or main fuse block will intermittently block any voltage coming from the battery into the starting system. it is random and will sometimes even prevent a jump start unless you tap on the top of the sensor. and then it starts fine. my local honda dealership claims there is no such problem and refused to call me back to have the vehicle checked while still under warranty. i am now out of warranty due to the date of purchase and not mileage and all they will say is that it sounds like my starter is bad and needs to be replaced which will cost over $700 now that i am out of warranty.

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.

My 2015 accord has approx 62,000 miles, i have owned the vehicle since new and it has been 100% maintained precisely to all maintenance schedules by scott honda of west chester pa since new. following a dissatisfactory service visit to scott honda, i opened hood to perform minor fluids check, and observed alarming corrosion of battery terminals. i have never seen this level of accumulation of corrosion on battery terminals for any vehicle in my life. this is not normal. i disconnected, carefully inspected and cleaned both positive and negative terminals and hardware. the positive cable fitting is disintegrated and nearly the thickness remaining equivalent to a piece of "aluminum foil". removing the finishing tape of positive harness reveals heavy green/blue corrosion beyond battery fitting and cable swage. also observed heavily corroded negative battery connection behind driver-side wheel. negative terminals and connections are also corroded at battery and battery sensor. battery sensor was serviced immediately upon recall notice by scott honda. battery is oem original and exhibits no signs of battery problems or starting...beyond corrosion. scott honda never alerted of the battery corrosion matter, nor asserted any service need or preventative maintenance to correct condition. thus, there very many "safety checklists" and state inspections are largely systematic "window dressing". scott honda has ignored my written requests and photos for explanation, root cause, or follow up. i will seek compensation from american honda to replace all battery cable harnesses and inspection of electrical system at honda expense. photos are attached. i urge accord owners to visually perform their own under-hood inspections....regardless the amount inspections they perceive to be performed by dealer.

The car fails to start after several turns of the key up to 12 times before starting. once it does start, it starts like there isn't a problem at all. car rarely starts on the first turn of the key. this has happened since about 47,000 miles. car currently has 51,000

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. the contact stated that the push button start malfunctioned and there was inconsistency in the vehicle being able to start. the starter would work sometimes on the first attempt, but other times, it could take up to six attempts. the dealer (brandon honda, 9209 e adamo dr, tampa, fl 33619, (813) 664-1234) acknowledged the failure and stated that the contact would be charged for the repair. the manufacturer was not contacted. the contact had a lifetime warranty with honda, but was not sure if the starter issue was covered. the failure mileage was 100,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. the contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system) in august of 2017. the vehicle was taken to boyd honda of south hill virginia (1121 e atlantic st, south hill, va 23970, (434) 447-3111) where the battery sensor was replaced, but the failure recurred. the contact stated that the battery sensor replacement was to prevent the battery from dying. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 09195187. the approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

2015 honda accord. consumer writes in regard to battery sensor safety recall notice. *as *tr

Honda accord windows opening when car is locked. this is a well documented issue e.g. see https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-c23084_ds575177 it has happened to me twice while the car is parked outside in my driveway during rainy weather. honda does document in the owner's manual that remote opening of windows is possible in certain models with a double press and hold of the door open button on the key fob. so i cannot say for certain that it was not an inadvertent press sequence on my key fob since i did have it in my pocket with other keys in my house. however note that this possible inadvertent press has happened twice - and obviously can happen again. i would also speculate that some random stray signal may trigger this, totally out of my control. key fobs that can actuate windows and doors inadvertently are unsafe and a process needs to be made to deactivate them until a desired action is specifically made by the driver.

Problem with gear box, battery sensor and also starter

Starter dies not start all the time. press button and hear it grind. car as $42,000 miles. dealer says not under warranty. i have read tons of complaints that honda knows about this. it may strand me in the middle of winter. issue is with 2013-2015 v6 accord. dealer wants $800 to replace with same defective part.

I bought this car 8/7/16- certified from dublin honda. based on model year i shouldn't had to deal with a defective starter. replaced approx 12/2018. car would give me a hard time starting it . i drive 10 miles/ day to and from home /work
