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.
The car was making clicking sound, the check engine light wasn't on. drove on the highway and the sound start to sound worse. so drove back home, speed was dropping. it shut off while idling at stop sign. took a while to turn back on. finally turned back on and was able to get home. haven't used the car since. have someone check the car but when he tried to start the car it sound horrible so he turn it off and said not to touch it. he was checking to see if the check engine light was on. and it wasn't. *tr

Starter grinds when press start button. honda wants $1000 to fix but it is a known problem and should be a recall....
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.
Takata recall: when starting the car, the engine light is on stating: "emission system problem & engine cooling system problem." this somehow trigger a safe fail mode that prohibits the car going faster than approximately 40 miles an hour. when the car was brought to the honda dealership for diagnosis, it showed dtc p2602 stored for electric water pump low voltage. they were able to perform the electric water pump performance and it cleared the code. but within 24 hours, the dtc returns and the engine light is on again and the car wouldn't be able go faster than 40 miles per hour..
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.
Manual transmission keeps slipping out of 2nd gear and can't engage in 2nd gear. was told from transmissions shops that this problem is happening with other 2015 honda accords with low mileage.
I tried to start my vehicle with the push button and it won't start. only 62000 miles and the battery tested good. seems to be the starter or something electronic that is failing. but sometimes it fires right up. i've read starters have been an issue and wanted to report mine as well.

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.
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!

The starter button only produces a clicking sound when depressed. the engine will not turn over and does not start. the condition is a safety matter as it makes the car unusable and not available for emergencies.
I took my car for a battery recall. the dealer corrected the battery recall but i noticed some issues. my car sometimes experiences hard start and then i will get multiple alerts - engine light, check steering light, traction light and tire pressure low light on. i checked the internet and multiple complaints have been posted with similar issue and symptoms.
Difficulty starting. keyless entry senses key but fails to start when brake is depressed and ignition button is pressed. happening multiple times/week and becoming more frequent. often starts after 2-3 attempts. not resolved by replacing battery, resolving battery sensor recall, or checking fuel pump. problem seems to be starter and has left me stranded when car does not start.
I had my battery check due to a battery recall from honda. after they fixed the issue. i experience a hard start and then after the car start. i see engine light turned on and other warning lights. engine code p2101.
My 2015 honda accord after 33,000 miles is giving me a lot of problem battery wise. i had to have it boosted several times, i took it to a honda dealer who did a thorough check and who claim there was nothing wrong with the battery. even being very careful about not leaving anything electric when the power is not on, i still experience tremendous problems with starting the car; i hope i wont have to change the battery at 34,000 miles and barely 40 months old car. also while in motion i experienced the car wanting to stall, with the power of the car shutting down for a second or 2. there was a recall having to do with the battery.
My 2015 honda accord with abt 70,000 miles on it; the car wouldn't start, the engine wouldn't turn. in the process of troubleshooting we discovered that his starter went out. we called the dealership and they said it wasn't covered under warranties. just a few months ago, our neighbor had exactly the same problem - he has a 2015 honda accord and his car's starter went out. he spent some $700 fixing it and it was only a few months out of 3 years 36,000 miles warranty. there seems to be a high rate of starter failures on newer honda accords, which may necessitate a recall.
Acceleration hesitation. i have bow owned this car one year and today (may 23, 2018) was the 7th time that hesitating while leaving a stop sign or signal light, has happened. twice its cause a vehicle to slam on their brakes behind me.

When starting car initially in the mornings and driving car in reverse with only braking and not applying any gas, after the first 10 feet in reverse the engine will rev up by itself and then stabilize, or engine will gulp air with engine jerking, or engine will rev up very high with the final last sound of clashing metal between the engine/transmission and the engine dying on the spot. these problems only occur with the initial starting of the car and only in reverse. the car functions normally after the events described above. the car is always garaged. the engine behavior described is intermittent and unpredicatable. clashing metal and stopping of engine last occurred july 26, 2017.
While driving on a rural highway at 65 mph and seeing a posted reduced speed limit sign of 45 mph ahead, i started slowing the car by decreasing pressure the gas pedal(never removing my foot). as i reached 45 mph i increased pressure on the gas pedal and felt the car braking. i removed pressure from the gas pedal and the car continued to coast. i stepped(increased pressure) on the gas pedal again and i felt the car braking again. i removed my foot from the gas pedal and doubled checked my foot position and i was using the gas pedal. i moved my foot to the brake and felt the brakes were working. i was able to coast to an open area beside the highway and stop the car safely. after stopping i notice the engine oil and service lights on and engine was off but power was on. i shut the power off. after a minute i restarted the car and it runs like nothing happened. outside temperature was 95 f.
Due to honda using soy based wiring, rodents chewed through the wiring in our engine area and in the underside of our hood area. required repair of over $3000 at folsom lake honda. honda knows this is a problem... why no recall? they should pay for repairs. they are selling rodent proof tape at dealer or suggest putting dryer sheets in our engine area??!,, i believe class action suit has begun in california. we would like to be involved.
Page 1 of 2 - i purchased my 2015 honda accord coupe ex-l with 2.4l cvt in june of 2015 new with maybe 5 miles on the odometer. i started having issues just months after purchasing the vehicle from brandon honda. the first incident occurred when pulling out of my office complex onto a busy highway when the car decided to just shut off causing the steering column to also seize while the odometer flashed "fcw failure" along with several other instrument panel lights on steady. since that occurrence it seems as if i've had nothing but problems with the vehicle. i have on several occasions taken the vehicle in for repeated transmission/front end issues ' such as jerking between rpms, down 'shifting' for no reason causing rpms to just drop instead of holding when releasing my foot from the accelerator and while traveling at highway/interstate speeds of 55+ mph, etc. the last 3 times included an additional issue where the gearshift would go from (d) drive and into (r) reverse while continuing to go in a forward motion with back up camera displaying on dash screen and (r) displaying on the odometer where the gear is displayed. the discovery of this safety hazard took place for the first time on an interstate while traveling 65+ mph. the passenger at the time was reaching to grab their beverage from cup holder closest to the gear shifter when it was hit/tapped in the upward motion engaging the transmission into (r) reverse. it took me a minute to grasp what happened because while i'm looking forward into the direction i'm driving, i glance down at the odometer and notice (r) in place of the (d) where the current gear engaged would be indicated. then out of the corner of my eye i notice the camera was on display but not realizing the camera was from the rear and could see the vehicles directly behind me on the interstate. *tr
Page 2 of 2 - i have since taken the vehicle to brandon honda and basically was advised by a service advisor, manager and america honda co that my vehicle is 'operating by design', 'my issues could not be duplicated on several test drive attempts' and 'it's a safety feature' talking about when the vehicle can engage into reverse. as of today i have no resolution to the cvt transmission and front end concerns brought to the attention of brandon honda. i was also told by a service technician that 'this was a safety feature' and 'it's operating as designed' which both are not solutions to resolve a mechanical/safety defect in the vehicle or design. i have given brandon honda multiple tsbs to review each visit and kept having them rejected. one of those tsbs mentions having to drop the transmission to replace a module inside of the casing. obviously the dealership is doing whatever they can to avoid having to perform this repair and keep dragging their feet to accomplish absolutely nothing. the original honda case # [xxx] was opened and then closed via voicemail prior to me receiving my vehicle back from the dealership to determine if the issue was resolved, yet to my satisfaction. what will it take for honda to act and make my vehicle, experience whole????? i bought my vehicle with hard earned $ not counterfeit, broken or life threatening. note: i have video of the vehicle in reverse motion while continuing forward, along with several tsbs, work orders, pictures and documents to support my case. this is my only means of transportation and i'm driving over the howard franklin bridge (15,899') every day in my commute to and from my office. feel free to contact me for the video, pictures or documents needed to support my case. respectfully, a very unsatisfied brandon honda customer information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

When making a lane change at a speed of ~60mph on the highway. the car lost control and jerked towards the left. it zigzagged between the left and middle lane and hit another vehicle twice. although damage to our honda accord was mainly cosmetic, the engine was dead before/after the collision. the accident occurred in new brighton, mn, and the law enforcement case # is 16507355. we've reported this issue to american honda (case number 04824446) on july 11th, 2016, but didn't receive proper attention. after a simple check and test drive, they claimed there was no issue/defect with the vehicle. contacted american honda several times but haven't receive any follow-up yet.
Engine misfires at highway speeds with the tachometer surging 1,000 rpm's with each misfire. you cannot maintain your speed and therefore are not able to safely drive on the highway. took it to a dealer who stated someone else had recently been in with the same problem, but could not recreate the probelm on a test drive. they reset the computer to factory settings, but didn't hear back yet from the owner if it resolved the issue. they didn't reset my car's computer, however. my problem appears to match that of nhtsa id number 10838521.
When i drive my car it stalls and hesitates when accelerating and driving. there is a recall for this involving the short box and it can cause an accident or if the old leaks it can catch on fire. the recall is printed on the internet. i will email it to you later as i do nat have it with me. this has happened every month and many times every month. they will not fix it and they will not call me back. i want a new car under the lemon law. please help. others need to know there is a danger here but this is top secret.
Engine misfires at 50-60 mph with the tachometer surging from 1400 rpm to 2500 rpm with each misfire. you cannot maintain your speed and therefore are not able to safely drive on the highway. took it to the dealer who stated that honda has been aware of this issue for some time but does not have a fix for it yet.
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. while driving at 80 mph, the vehicle started to shake. the contact stated that the vehicle started to decelerate rapidly to 40 mph. the contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 2,200.
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.
I was driving on a high way and all of the sudden a light came on that said "power system fail" and i lost the ability to use the accelerator. i stayed calm because there were cars all around me and i began to coast and use momentum to drift to the shoulder of the highway. then a second light came on and said 'brake system power fail". i tapped the break and it seemed to work but i continued to coast down the shoulder of the highway until i ran out of momentum. i then turned my brand new honda accord exl hybrid off and restarted the car. the lights remained on but the accelorator was working so i drove the car to the closest service area on the highway. i then called honda roadside who told me to turn the vehicle off and wait for a tow truck. he said that i must have broken a belt. why he said or thought that he could diagnose the problem from a call center i'm not sure. it was over 100 degrees so i did not listen to the man from honda because it was too hot and not safe for me to sit in the vehicle without air. i waited for a tow truck which cost me $250 even though its a brand new car and i have honda roadside assistance. my husband came and met me where the tow left me. he drove the vehicle to our dealership. the dealership told us that they have no record of this ever happening and the computer does not show that anything happened. it was so scary and dangerous and i could have been killed. they say that they can't diagnose the problem because it seems like nothing is wrong. they even asked me if i accidentally turned the car off while driving?!?!?! that isn't possible!!!! i just found the exact same complaint from another honda driver on here which also shows that this has happened before and something is wrong. as a woman who chose this car because it is supposed to be so reliable and safe i am so upset. i do not believe that my vehicle is safe.
