The electric steering pump
- Goldsboro, PA, USA
The vehicle has had several incidents where it won't start when the ignition button is pushed. The dashboard lights come on, but they run through and say that all the ADAS systems are inoperable. This has o cured numerous times I per the years and still hasnt been fixed.

Car intermiittantly does not start Has happened at least four times this month(Jan 2023). Had battery and alternator checked they are fine.. Sometimes will start on second try. Car only has 44,400 miles on it. Have read hundreds of complaints for the same issue. It is time for a recall on a defective part.

Like many others, I have had starter problems on my 2015 Honda Accord. It has less than 50,000 miles and is kept in a garage. The starter should not need to be replaced so soon and I believe it is defective.

Hello, I turned my car on and saw the engine emissions system warning, which I-??ve never seen before. I thought the cold front or sudden temperature change in my city had something to do with it & it would go away because my car is well maintained(all services done at Honda dealership). I was driving on the freeway about 75 mph and all of a sudden my car stops accelerating. I floored the gas pedal but it was only going about 30 mph(felt weak or like it was operating on battery only) this is when the -??engine cooling system problem-?? and -??engine temperature too hot-?? warnings started flashing. The car behind me almost hit me, other cars were passing & honking at me, I was holding up traffic so I got in the emergency lane. While in the emergency lane I had to turn my car on an off about 6 times for it to work normally for about 5/10 minutes before it would start stalling or the acceleration would stop working(this would happen when the coolant warning started flashing) until I got home. I was confused on why the car wasn-??t accelerating like normal because I had more than half a gas tank left & my coolant has been replaced. The next day I turn on my car and it-??s perfectly normal-no warnings. I took it to the Honda services and showed them the video I took of the warnings because I was scared and felt unsafe driving it, but they told me to bring it back when the warning lights turn back on the dashboard. It was Normal for about a week, then the warning lights popped back up and it would start stalling/not accelerate again. I constantly had to turn my car off and on driving to Honda services. They told me nothing is wrong with the coolant, they did a diagnostic test on it and said it-??s the Computer module/electrical interference causing the warning lights/pumps not to not work. I believe it-??s the hybrid propulsion system recall 15V602000, I have a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid but my VIN is not recalled" Is there anyway to add my vin to the recall" Please and thank you.

Vehicle failing to start consistently. Battery is fine. No noise is heard when moving key to start. Either starter or ignition is bad. Concern about being stranded.

6/24/2022 I was driving my 2015 Honda Accord with 65k miles when the car had no power, unable to accelerate, and limited steering. The following warning lights went on : Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Vehicle Stability System Indicator, Electric Power Steering System Indicstor, and Low Tire Pressure indicator (new tires last week). I let the car sit for awhile and restarted it with the same warnings showing. Very scary and unsafe to suddenly lose power and steering. I had just returned from a trip on a mountain road and busy highway which could have had deadly results. My car is a 2015 with 65 thousand miles on it- how does something this dangerous occur?

Back up camera black screen, safety issue.
- Ridgefield , WA, USA
Starter is inconsistent. Looked online and many customers have complained about it. It-??s not just a starter it-??s a flaw in the design. Looks like other parts need to be replaced in order to correct the issue. This should be a recall.
- Edwardsville , IL, USA
Possible starter/electrical issue when trying to start vehicle. Will start up with no problems at time and then others it will only click and display all dash lights. At times it will take only a few attempts and then it will start while other times it takes several minutes to start. This has been an issue leaving you stranded in a excessively hot vehicle oftentimes with small children in car seats in the back with no air. Dealers say this is a common issue with this make and model although no recall has been put in place. This issue first began in 2020 and has been intermittent since then.
- Loma Linda, CA, USA
Backup camera doesn-??t work anymore it gives me a black screen. I-??ve seen multiple people with this problem on the same car this a safety hazard because of the camera not allowing me to see what-??s behind me. Car is also fairly new with 45000 miles.

2015 accord with 39000 mi. has had a starter motor fail, this apparently a common problem.
- Chapel Hill, NC, USA
Intermittent starting of car. Push button start works inconsistently. All lights on dashboard light up and system sometimes makes clicking sound. Have been stranded numerous times. I often times have young grandchildren in car so this is a safety issue.
- Brookfield , WI, USA
April 2021 while driving dash guages stopped. No speedometer, no rpm, no temperature. Flashing fcw system failed began to flash. Multiple warning lights appeared. Check engine, power steering, break, abs, fcw, ldw, airbag, vsa and tpms. Honda of Gainesville in Florida has had my car for almost a year. No fix. Replaced engine harness, engine fusebox, computer, and cluster. To no avail. Now they say I need an interior fuse box and entire interior wiring harness. I believe they are just guessing at this point. According to honda internet forums this is a common issue with many years and models. No fix. This has been reported by many honda owners as a safety issue that should be recalled. It is incredibly unsafe to drive this vehicle with all these systems in fail. Please review. Photos and documents attached.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that since she owned the vehicle, the battery had failed on three separate occasions. The first two batteries were replaced by independent mechanics; however, on the latest failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer. Despite another battery replacement, the failure occurred again five months later. The contact sent an email to the manufacturer and received a case number. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car does not start all the time. After a few attempts it will start. Some times it starts without issue. This vehicle is unreliable and can leave you stranded. Regretting my purchase. Car only has 44k miles. Pathetic

Ignition switch failed and had to be replaced. Car only has 65,000 miles. This must be a manufacturing defect, but American Honda refuses to accept any responsibility.
