I am taking my 2015 Honda Accord sport to Honda dealer (southbay Honda, milpitas, ca) to complete "replace battery mgmt sensor" recall 17V-418 completion. My car has started showing unique problem of not starting on first try, some times it starts on first try, other times it takes more than one try to start. This is frustrating & scary to get stranded. Car is less than 22K miles (bought Dec. 2014). After looking at internet this is common problem & should be consider recall of "replace starter". dealer are quoting around $1000 to replace starter, should be covered as it's defective Honda part. To your knowledge there are many Honda Accord 2013-2015 owners with similar issue. Here is one thread:

The car would give a hard time starting once a week, this started 3 weeks ago, then last week it just stopped turning on, after trying couple of times, I turned it on, drove to the Honda dealership were they told me that I needed a new battery and a new starter. They would not cover it since the car passed the 36,000miles, it had 42,000miles. I noticed another car similar to mine had the same problem at the dealership, so I went online to research this issue and found out that Honda knew about this problem happening quiet often and did not issue a recall as well as them having a class action law suit regarding this matter. I have done all the work at a Honda dealership and have documents and receipts it costed me about 840$$ which is a lot of money for a relatively new car.

Towards the end of 2017, I had my Honda Accord service as a result of the battery defect recall. After such repair, my vehicle stalled on a busy highway back in February 2018. I bought the car new and it had approximately 45,000 miles the Honda dealer stated it was the alternator and charged me to repair it. However, on 4/1/18 the car stalled once again and I the engine would not start. I have researched this issue and it appears the too many 2015 Honda Accord are having the same problem following the battery defect recall. This is a safety risk, since the vehicle loses all power leaving one vulnerable to bing hit by other vehicles when the car stalls. My car panel/ system does not give any warning prior to shutting down all power while the car is on motion. Once the car stalls, one can not turn the engine back on. I truly believe that this has to be investigated before some one is killed as a result that F this defect on the Honda Accord.

I received the notice of the recall for the battery sensor and took the car in August but the dealer said that they didn't have the part. Next maintenance in November I reminded them of the recall on the battery and they gave me the temporary fixing. Shortly after this the battery started to fail. I would have my car parked and it wouldn't turn on. This has been more constant now. Went back to the dealer March 7, 2018 and I mentioned about the battery and they told me the battery was fine that nothing was wrong with it.on the third day after my battery died 2 times after having it off for less then 10 minutes. And had to jump start it. I have seen that many have said the solution is to buy a new battery but the car is just 2 years since I bought it new and my mileage is not even 40,000 miles yet. Honda should be the one to fix this.

Battery died suddenly, without warning. On 1/1/2018, I drive to the gas station on my way to the airport. I turned my car off and noticed that pump was out of of order so started my car and drove to another pump without issue. I filled up my tank, which took about 4 gallons of gas, then when I tried so start my car it would not start. I have push button start and all of the electronics worked but the ignition would not turn over. The dash blinked. I tried 3 more times and the brake pedal felt very tight and the car still would not start. This left me stranded at the gas station. I had to call roadside rescue. When the guy jumped my battery he said my battery was so low that when I turn my car off next time it would not start again. This is at 6am in the morning on a holiday, and I'm supposed to be parking my car for 5 days St the airport. I had to cancel my flight and find a place to buy a new battery that same day, without having to turn my car off. The battery cost almost $200. This car was purchased brand new from dealer so it had the original battery that came with the car within. I also have all maintenance done at dealer, most recently two months previous, where all things checked were listed as ok. This car was purchased in July 2015. The battery should not have failed so quickly. The car had 56,165 at the time of battery failure. There was no warning. The car has never not started. This was very dangerous. I know about the recall on the battery sensor, and we received the temporary fix and will get the permanent fix during our next maintenance, however I find it strange that my battery failed in between. I've never, since I've owned a car, had to replace a car battery in just 2.5 years of usage.

On Wednesday November 8th my wife went out to start our 2015 Honda Accord with 38,531 miles. The car did not start. We had the car towed to university Honda. The service advisor checked the car out and said that the car battery was dead. We were required to purchase a new battery for $127.63. I contacted american Honda requesting to be reimbursed the $127.63. They opened a case #06448979. My car is 2,531 miles outside its warranty. It has a recall notice for faulty battery sensors. The car was purchased 7/31/15, so the battery failed after only 27 months. The new battery that I purchased from Honda has a 100 month warranty with no mileage limit. A reasonable person would expect a new car battery to last longer than 27 months, especially since when Honda sells the battery separately from the car you are given a 100 month warranty. So either the battery was faulty or the faulty battery sensors caused the battery to fail prematurely. Tia from american Honda stated that the battery was beyond the 36,000 mile warranty and all she could do is give me 'Honda dollars' that I can spend on Honda products. She would not let me talk to anyone else. After researching this issue online and talking to mechanics, it seems that Honda has sold cars with faulty electrical systems that cause batteries to fail prematurely. I would like Honda to reimburse me for the costs that I have incurred and recall their faulty batteries.

I was informed of a recall affecting the battery/charging system of the vehicle. The mentioned issue already caused my battery to fail as well. When I took the car in for the repair the battery sensor was replaced free of charge. The battery was tested and was no good. This is a direct result of the failed battery sensing which was causing a charging system problem. I had to pay for $118.10 for the battery. I feel I should be reimbursed for the battery. Also, I had already taken the car in a few months before for the charging issue. I was made to feel like an idiot. The recall was not out at the time.

My issue is I purchased the vehicle from the Honda dealership and without any disclosed information, did they say anything about my vehicle being on recall. Also I drove out of the dealership told that my car passed the inspection but then told me I have to go get it inspected. My vehicle failed the inspection after I was told that it passed when it was at the dealership. The monitor catalyst, monitor evap, monitor 02, none we're ready for an inspection. I was then told that I have to keep driving the car to put some miles on it. Never heard of this before that's why I am reaching out.

The 12-volt battery sensor caused my battery to overcharge and spill out most of the battery acid and corroded the cables. The sensor failed to alert me of the battery's state of charge and and now I have a dead battery. Honda of morgan hill will not replace my battery even though it was cased by the faulty sensor. They are having me pick up my car with a dead battery and will not replace it until I pay for a new battery. Yes, my car is passed the 36K miles but the battery and car is only 2 years old.

Prior to today, I had an instance where all my panel lights came on and my car failed to start. After doing research I learned it could be related to a recall. I called the local dealership to schedule the recall repair and was told the parts were not yet available and they could provide a 'temporary fix' if needed until the parts were available. I elected not to have a temporary fix and wait for the parts to be safe. When going in today (2 months later) for an oil change and tire balance I asked about the recall and if the parts were available. I was told they were so I gave permission for the recall repair to be completed while the had my car for the other scheduled maintenance. I picked up my car at 5:45 after being told the repairs were complete. I left the dealer and went to a restaurant and when I got back to my car and tried to start it, all the panel lights came on again and it failed to start leaving me stranded with my 8 year old son 20 minutes from my home. I called the dealership for assistance and the service department was closed. I was told my a salesman to bring my car in tomorrow morning. I expressed my grave concern with the condition of the car considering the repairs were supposed to be done and the possibility of it turning off or not starting. I did not want to chance driving the car as I did not feel it was safe. While waiting for a ride, the instrument panel and display continued to blink and turn on and off when I attempted to start the car. When my ride arrives, we jumped off my battery to see if it would start. It started but was weak. I drove back to the dealership (5 miles) while being followed by my friend. I left the car and was given a loaner in hopes the repairs can be successfully completed. I worry that the repair won't be properly fixed (they don't have the part)and my safety and my son's safety will be compromised.
