Purchased Used 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid from Dealer March 25, 2021. Vehicle ran clean for two months, but now in the last month and a half, vehicle randomly will not start on 3 separate occasions. During these incidences vehicle will also not give power to door locks, etc, leaving driver stranded with no way to lock themselves in the vehicle for safety if necessary. Vehicle is keyless/push-button start. Battery tests good. ***Incident 1: Vehicle did not start on 88 degree day. No accessory power either. Would not power door locks. Left my 17 year old daughter stranded in excessive heat, in a Metro area parking lot until I could get to her two hours later. Multiple attempts to start the vehicle/pressing brake/start button with key fob next to start button. Replaced batteries in Key fobs with no change. Vehicle started with a jump. ***Incident 2: Similar to 1st incident, vehicle randomly would not start, no accessory power or power to door locks. Again, very hot and humid evening. Multiple attempts were made to push-button-start the vehicle with key fob well within area to start it. Called someone to come get us but continued attempts to start the car. It randomly started after about 45 minutes. Battery indicator on dashboard indicates good charge on battery. Left our family stranded in a rural area in the dark with excessive heat during this time. ***Incident 3: Vehicle will not start when pressing brake, start button, and key fob close by. My daughter was stranded again in 89 degrees outside. I picked her up with no success in starting the vehicle. Car's still sitting. ** There is no 'suspicious' activity of the vehicle before this happens. Completely random. New batteries in fobs. Concerned this could develop into a bigger problem of these models I've discovered; stalling while driving. (??) It appears our problem is large enough that there are public videos online about this. Hopefully we can rectify this as it poses a risk to stranded motorists left alone.

Took my sister to a car dealership to look at a car and had my car running for a couple of hours due to me having kids and it was hot out. And I accidentally turned my car off and car wouldn-??t start back up it kept saying key fob was missing and the key was hanging up on my rear view mirror. Had to literally wait 10 minutes before car would start back up. Honda really needs to get that fixed A.S.A.P that was definitely a scary experience for me especially having my two young kids with me. I can-??t afford to be stranded somewhere.

Ignition key turned and only heard a click. Had to turn off and on many times for it to eventually start engine, if lucky. Did not even hear the engine crank. Best guess is starter failure.

Almost on a daily basis the car will not start. After several tries it will start as if nothing happened. When I would try to start it, it just clicks, doesn't turn over. All my lights and radio lights turn on except the car. After 2-3 tries it comes on. Then there are some mornings where it starts no problem. Just hit and miss. I am scared of getting stranded somewhere out of the blue! this is a recall problem due to a bad design change of the solenoid in the starter. I also smelled smoke a few times.

My 2015 Honda Accord ex-L V6 will randomly decide not to start. There is no warning and battery has been changed multiple times. It passes all tests for voltage, but just doesn't start at least 3 times a day. Very dangerous, and leaves you unsure of how you will make it home. Causes extreme anxiety.

My 2015 Accord V6 has a starting problem where the starter will grind several times before the car will start. This happens about every 3 to 5 weeks. The car will eventually start after several attempts. Although this problem does not occur every time, I am concerned I will be stranded.

Engine will not start. 2015 Honda Accord has about 84K miles. I have been stranded twice now because my car won't start and often requires between 2-4 attempts to start the engine. The cluster lights turn on and everything powered by the battery is working, without the engine starting. I have replaced the battery 3 times (March 2018, January 2020, March 2021). Previous battery was tested and had plenty of voltage left and was charging well, so the alternator is working well. Key fob battery replaced 2 times, most recently December 2020 and is working fine. I believe the starter is defective and I have read countless reports online stating the same issue, and this needs to be investigated and addressed, especially because the part itself is between $150-180 online and the dealership cost to replace this is $1K and above...

Intermittent starting issues - have replaced battery 3 times. Took to Honda dealer on 9/8/17 & 12/29/20. Honda stated no issues. Had alternator and starter tested several times at parts store and they tested fine. Issues have increased to leaving me stranded 3 times in 2 weeks. New battery 12/29/20 is not dead and tests fine but car needs jump to start. Car does have remote start and will not start with key or fob.

I have a 2015 Honda Accord with 51K miles. I had to replace the battery at 40K miles. I recently had the same intermitten starting problem that many of you described. Sometimes I have to turn the ignition key 20 times for the car to start. I brought the car to the Honda dealer. They probably saw 100 of similar cases. However, they acted as if my starting problem is a rare case, and charged me $900 to replace the starter. I am disappointed with both Honda and the dealer.

At about 48,000 miles I started having intermittent no start situations which rendered the car unreliable. If you turn the key nothing happens. But usually after several attempts the car would start and then the problem would not repeat for several subsequent starts. Then it would reappear. I found a mechanic who located the problem requiring a starter replacement. Honda should recall these vehicles.

My Honda Accord 2015 has been driven for 48000 miles. I am having problems with the starter. The car doesn't start at times and has become unreliable to drive. This appears to be a problem with many similar model Honda. Request Honda to take action and resolve this issue for all Honda Accord owners and continue to keep their brand promise of reliability and quality. My car continues to have this problem and will take it to the dealership.

My 15 Accord exl V4 is about 5 years ago and 68K. Start having issue to start the car. Push the button and break, car doesn't start. Took my car for a check, I was been told I need to replace the starter. I searched online and lots of 9th gen owners are having same issue. Unacceptable for such age car with starter issue

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the tire pressure warning light illuminated. The contact inspected the tires and noticed nothing wrong. The next day the contact re-calibrated the system and the warning light was no longer illuminated. The contact then stated that while in reverse the battery sensor light was illuminated and the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact restarted the vehicle however, a little while later while moving the vehicle, the vehicle stalled again. The contact restarted the vehicle again and drove back to the residence. The contact contacted first Texas Honda (3400 steck ave, austin, tx 78757; (512) 220-1121) who stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired.
