System charging error prompts on the dash board continuously. Check my battery and it-??s not my battery. Steering wheel light turned on and car began to lock and the whole dashboard started to flicker while I was driving. I was driving and my steering wheel locked on me always causing an accident. I tried getting a jump and my battery is fine. Then when I try to move the vehicle the steering wheel starts to lock up. My radio even started to reset and glitch and my system was shutting back on and off while I was driving.

In 2017, my vehicle was part of a Honda recall for the battery sensor. I had the recall service completed at Colerain Honda in Cincinnati, OH. Honda marked recall repair as completed in 2017, but the same defect has been ongoing since 2021 through today. I have had to replace multiple alternators and batteries, believing the recall repair (battery sensor issue) was properly resolved, but the issue persists. This raises concern that the recall work was either not done correctly or not done at all. The dealership has refused to provide records or assistance, leaving me to cover repair costs throughout the years. This is a safety and reliability concern that remains unresolved. When I contacted the dealership, they were unable or unwilling to provide documentation of the actual recall repair outside of "it's been completed, we can't see back that far", leaving me uncertain whether the work was properly performed and how they did it. I was also treated rudely and dismissed when requesting answers or proof. This raises a potential safety risk: If the recall repair was never done, my vehicle is still at risk of electrical fire or failure. If the repair was improperly performed, it could leave me and other drivers in danger. I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether Honda and Colerain Honda fulfilled their recall obligations in this case.

Multiple issues having to do with battery replacement, Alternator, and starter. Discussed this same issue with Honda they have ignored the issue had the vehicle inspected by dealership multiple times and by local mechanics. The vehicles also for many years would lock steering wheel and starter would lock wouldn't allow driver to start also when vehicle starts it-??s a full force at once and you feel the force. I am worried that-??s there is an issue also when the fuel travels after it starts from the full force I had mentioned.

I am filing a complaint regarding an unresolved and hazardous safety issue tied to a federally mandated recall on my 2015 Honda Accord (Recall #KH0 -?" Battery Management Sensor). The recall was eventually performed, but only after inappropriate pushback from the dealer due to my vehicle having a salvage title -?" which is irrelevant under federal recall law. The core issue is that this sensor regulates the electrical system and can cause overcharging or undercharging -?" which in my case, led to premature alternator failure. Honda-??s own Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 17-069) acknowledges the link between BMS failure and electrical system damage. Furthermore, Honda-??s own documentation acknowledges that many customers -?" particularly used car or private party buyers -?" were never properly notified of the Battery Management Sensor (BMS) recall. As a result, these customers may be unjustly denied warranty or reimbursement claims, through no fault of their own. This applies directly to my case. I had already replaced the alternator out of pocket due to failure, long before I was ever informed of the recall. Once I became aware of the issue and brought the car in, I was relieved that Honda performed the BMS recall repair, which resolved the dashboard alerts. However, it is unfair and unacceptable that Honda refuses to cover the damage the faulty system caused prior to the recall being completed -?" especially when I was never properly notified in the first place. This places the financial burden of a known safety defect onto the customer, despite the existence of a federally mandated recall directly linked to the damage.

Door locks will stop working randomly. Some doors will not lock or unlock. I took to metro honda once to get it fixed and again it is happening. The driver side back door never locks or unlocks. The other back door started doing the same this past week. And the passenger door wouldn-??t lock or unlock but since taking it to metro it has worked. This will start happening randomly. Also, i have been having problems with the starter. I got it replaced one a couple months ago from a mechanic and again it will not turn on on the first try.

Getting error P2602 Low Voltage Coolant Pump. No visible sings of failure or damage to the pump or wiring. Tested power, ground, and signal and found them all to be ok. Vehicle has 133,000 miles. Engine is not running hot at all. Very cool to the touch, error P2602 causes car to go into limp mode and can not drive past 40 mph. Issue could be from Pump recalls from other honda models that used the same pump that is in the 2015 Honda Hybrids. Honda did not include 2015 Honda Hybrid in the recall when they should have, because its the same pump that was recalled in other hondas. Took the car to dealer in Auburn, WA, Hinshaw's Honda. Please get report from them. To get a second opinion took car to an independent Honda repair. Again same issue, stating pump replacement.

The car is having starter issues. At times I can push the button and it will start right up. Then sometimes it takes several clicks. This a safety concern especially in a dangerous situation. There have been several complaints about this and Honda had yet to do anything. Hopefully someone addresses this soon!

Car first started showing issues with the charge system. The car would randomly not start and would require a jump start. I replaced the battery and the car worked fine for 2 weeks and then it just wouldn't start at all. A new alternator was put in and the care drove fine for 1 month. Took it back to dealer mechanic and he said he needed a new alternator. Got the alternator replace and care worked fine 2 months and then it was back to not starting or it wouldn't accelerate pass 20 mph and the power steering light would come on and the steering wheel would lock up. The tire traction light came on as well as the check engine and battery light ABS and emergency brake light. Took it to the mechanic he replaced the terminal post and components after the car would start at all even with a jump start. The car worked fine for 3 months and then it started cutting off in the middle of traffic on the road while driving it and would not cut back on. Took to the dealer and was told that it was a camshaft sensor. The camshaft sensors was replaced and the car started cutting off while driving it on the road and the steering wheel would lock up. All lights on the dashboard would come on including the power steering wheel, tire traction, check engine, emergency brake, battery light, ABS light. Radio would cut off and reset continuously while driving and make static pops. The car will continue to cut off while driving and cut back on at times or just not restart.

While performing a normal U-Turn at a stop sign, I turned the wheel all the way to the left. When the wheel reached it's max rotation to the left, the Power Steering light on the dash flashed for a second, but at the same time the whole car turned off and then back on. I was stopped mid-turn until the car restarted. Not knowing what happened, I continued the turn slowly and when the wheel reached the max rotation the same light flicker and car restart happened. I tested once again while parked and confirmed that when I turn the wheel completely to the left, the car restarts. My safety was put at risk due to other cars at the stop sign not anticipating my car stopping in the middle of the intersection. No accidents or injuries occured. Based on limited research, it appears this is a defect that has been reported before for my make and model of car. I have not had my car inspected at this time. There were no previous indicators (warnings, messages, or symbols), prior to the failure.

When starting the car via push button start, there is a clicking sound. The battery was replaced fuses checked and sometimes it will start on the first push other times it takes 5 minutes. I had to start my car after I had to leave my car suddenly due to needing to enter a store asap to retrieve my wallet. Upon returning, one person clearly was attempting to enter my car who saw me than left. So I had to leave the area quickly. But the car just clicked when ignition button pushed. 6 mins later I was able to start it. The car only has 36000 miles on it. But I-??ve had every thing checked, alternator, battery etc. the starter is the the obvious problem
