The engine makes a very loud rattle at cold startup for about 1 to 3 seconds. It only makes this noise when starting the car for the first time that day, unless it has been sitting for 5+ hours, then will rattle again at cold startup. Also, The engine burns 1 quart of oil approximately every 2500-3000 miles requiring additional oil to be added.

Car intermittently won't start

- Darrington, WA, USA

Driving at Interstate speeds, I had the engine suddenly **THUNK** and lose power. I limped it to the side of the road to get out of traffic. I went to investigate and the vehicle would not even idle. It just shut off After having it towed back to local service company, looked at, and the dealership I bought it at to look at, I am told the main bearing failed on the connecting rod. The thunks I hear is the rod spinning in there, shearing off metal shavings that are now all over inside the engine bay. Honda has a TSB out for the car, for this exact issue, but my VIN number somehow doesn't fit in their window. Component that failed - Main bearing on the Connecting Rod Safety of myself and others - Gave out while driving highway speeds, which caused the car to lose power to keep it at highway speeds. Had to limp it to the shoulder Reproduction of problem - Yes, at an independent service center and a dealership service center Component inspected - not by any of the listed people, just the service centers Warning lamps, messages, symptoms - None whatsoever I have amazon receipts of items purchased for all at home maintenance done on the vehicle since it was bought new. I do not have a scanner handy for the service center documentation and receipts

On May, 25, 2021 my family were on the highway and all of a sudden the car started stalling. In which the accelerater started braking instead of moving, the car was slowing with all the lights turning on on the dashboard. FCU failure message flashing with engine sign, Ldw, Fcw, tire pressure, stability sign, steering sign all came on. It almost caused us to have an accident. My kids my wife everyones were screaming because other cars and trucks around us, and we didn't know what's going on with out car and other cars were honking at us. We were all so scared and my wife was crying, my kids were crying. We signal with our hands out of the car to get to the shoulder and stopped the car. We thought we are going to die if any of the trucks or cars hit us. Never scared in our life like that day. So still my car is on my driveway parked. There is a recall of the 6 cylinder of 2015 manufactured. But not for the 4 cylinder same safety issues other people have. I contacted the American Honda but they are denying any safety issues 2015 Honda accord 4 cylinder have engin failure. Please issue a safety recall so it will be safer before someone's family is put in danger instead of not knowing when their cars engin fails.

- Brownsville , TX, USA

Car will not start, fcw/ldw light on cranks over but will not start after about ten tries it will finally start with check engine light, tire pressure monitor flashing, fcw, ldw lights on and the message display says fcw failure. After system is re set with a scanner it has done it three more times, Honda does not seem to know what is wrong with the car.

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.

- Garden Grove, CA, USA

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.

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.

- Hanford, CA, USA

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.

Vehicle caught on fire while parked at the airport. No prior mechanical issues or problems with the vehicle

- San Antonio, TX, USA

The vehicle is consuming excessive oil has been doing so for last 20,000 miles or that's when I noticed it. It's losing a quart every 1500 miles. It also seems to have bad seals on the doors and windshield air seems to be getting inside while vehicle is in motion. At highway speeds makes unbearable noises which is a huge discomfort to all passengers in the vehicle Honda refused to make any correction on these problems. As both are manufacture defects. Vehicle only has 73,000 miles I'm hoping that my message here can be seen by NHTSA and I hope they can help with my problems because Honda has failed to do anything.

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. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,973.

My car has been burning oil at an excessive rate. There are no leaks and I get the oil changed every three months regardless of milage. Today I checked my oil and it was empty. There was no indication light and the more I search online for solutions, it seems this is a common problem with this vehicle. I feel Honda should fix the defect.

At only 38, xxx miles this vehicle has intermittent starting issues. Internet research and mechanic diagnosis indicates that the starter needs to be replaced. It is a known issue at the local dealership, but yet they could not give me a concrete answer as to if replacing the starter will fix the problem long term. With a quoted replacement cost of $1,000 I am leery to have the starter replaced if it does not actually fix the problem. I have been stranded multiple times in the cold because of this issues. A vehicle with only 38, xxx miles and barely out of warranty should not be having these issue. I am okay with fixing a faulty part, but I am not okay with a reoccurring issues not having an exact solution to the problem. Are the starters in these vehicles truly bad or is it something else within the car that is causing the starter to blow? a recall or research outside of Honda (because obviously they are ignoring the issues) needs to be rolled out to get to the bottom of, and fix, these starting problems. Starters should not fail prior to 50,000 miles. If they are constantly failing at low mileage, there needs to be a recall done with the option of replacing the original starters with non-faulty parts. If the starters are solid parts as-is, research needs to be done to determine why the starters are failing. At $1,000 per repair, Honda is making too much money fixing known safety issues with their vehicles.

When putting in reverse or drive, engine stutters and electrical system cuts out and entertainment console reboots. Sometimes the car stalls all together. Replaced the battery and alternator, and problem starts again after a few weeks.
