I purchased a car from AutoNation Toyota Hayward in Hayward California on June 21, 2025. And on June 24,2025, the check engine light appeared. A mechanic checked my car for the code and informed me that the catalytic converter is faulty. The dealership had informed me that they check the car prior to be sold. As it goes through multiple checks. However, the car that was sold was faulty. They refused to answer my questions as to why a faulty car was sold. As I was driving the car back to the dealership, I could smell the fumes throughout my car.

On June 17, 2025, I went with my mechanic to inspect a car I was considering purchasing. The vehicle is a 2015 Honda Accord Sport, showing approximately 60,000 miles on the odometer. My mechanic performed a diagnostic scan, and everything appeared to be in good working order at the time. However, on June 23, 2025, I went to the DMV to register the vehicle, and I was informed that the car has a fraudulent odometer reading. The DMV has opened an investigation, but I won-??t receive the results for a few months. I am now concerned that the car may not be safe to drive. It emits a burnt plastic smell after being driven and turned off, which raises serious safety concerns. I paid $10,700 for the vehicle and an additional $311 to register it and obtain a temporary plate.

I own a 2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 3.5L that I purchased brand new from the dealership with zero miles. I-??ve taken excellent care of the vehicle, and because I typically drive short distances, it only has 93,000 miles as of June 2025. Despite the low mileage and proper maintenance, the intake manifold plenum (part #17160-5G0-A00) now needs to be replaced due to significant deterioration. The material used for this part is poorly made, it corrodes and breaks down over time, causing vacuum leaks. This is a well-documented, widespread issue in Honda vehicles globally. In my case, the deterioration has caused performance and safety concerns and has rendered my car undrivable. To make matters worse, this part is on national backorder with no estimated delivery date. I-??ve contacted numerous dealerships and suppliers with no success, leaving me without a working vehicle or timeline for repair. I rely on this car for transportation, work, and daily responsibilities. It is extremely frustrating that a critical engine component is both defective and unavailable, especially when so many other Honda owners are facing the same problem. I am filing this complaint to raise awareness and request a timely investigation and resolution.

ABS Modulator Assembly has left me stranded I see that this has been a major issue for Honda's. There has not been any recalls for this issue but they see that it is a major problem. I was told by King Honda in Auburn Alabama that this is a $2000 dollar issue and they do not know when the part will be available due to being on backorder. Please advise.

While making a left U-turn my car suddenly restarted which caused a loss of power steering and acceleration. This issue occurred 2 more times until I was able to straighten the car out into the intended lane of traffic. During the vehicle restart, I noticed several dash lights appear in the left area of the dashboard, however could not identify the meaning.

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.

Problems began at 50,000 miles and now at 60,000 a year and 1/2 later they are ongoing. Electrical and engine -??. Honda knows all the problems bless I am having are in many of their models! This is DANGEROUs and Honda is negligent ! First it was my car wouldn-??t start. The alternator went also It needed to have the front and rear seal replaced. That is crazy ! It must be leaking oil and needed the seals due to improper torque. Had that repaired and within 2 weeks I kept saying it wasn-??t running right. THEN My car overheated after driving for 10 min on a busy highway in Atlanta. Smoke pouring out of the hood. I was trapped and couldn-??t get out because of traffic. HORRIFIC experience.! Electrical issue began at 50,000 miles at the same time. Electrical issues ongoing AND engine does not run right. It-??s rough loud, judders, it can be sluggish or no responsive, Last year my car had 50,000 miles. It had gone through a battery every year and 1-2. Then 16 months ago it wouldn-??t start. Since I have replace the starter, alternator, battery and battery cable. In individual events of warning lights or failing to start. Today the charging systems warning light and fcw light flashed while driving. The electrical system in this car is a known problem. It MUST be recalled. The 4cl has now time to recall the v-6 for torque and parasitic battery drain. This is potential for fire, car sudden loss of power it-??s negligent to not recall. I have invoice after invoice but the problem persists. Why are you only recalling the 4L engine " There is a class action about battery drain but only for 4 L" I know the didnt produce many accord V6 but the V6 is used in the Acura and I believe the Odysse. I have called and called Honda. I emailed the head of Honda in Japan. He sent my email back to the dealer. This is my 4th Honda. We were an entire Honda family but not any more. Safety is not first.My accord problems will result in a terrible accident. Please do something

I Was driving my vehicle on, standing on the Expressway heading east. The roads were snow and sleek. Out of nowhere. My vehicle start to lose power. And suddenly stopped. I was stuck in the middle of the highway, very scared and feared for my life and I feared for the other peoples lives and their vehicles and hoping no collision occurs. Luckily. I was able to avoid the collision. And a tow truck came to tow my car to the Honda dealership. I had a recall for the drive shaft. A corroded drive shaft broke on which the vehicle was unmovable. My vehicle also roll away when I shifted to parked and I had to set the parking brake. This almost cost me the risk of a crash or injury without prior warning. And the Honda dealership did not correct the problem. I had to tow The vehicle To my mechanic shop and the next following day my mechanic expected that my drive shaft was not good. Mechanic had to order The drive actual shaft And get it replaced and fixed.

Starter motor.Will not turn the engine over to start. When the push button start is pushed you get a buzzing sound because the starter is not engageing the flywheel on the torque converter.Sometimes you have to push the start button as many as 5-10 times before the engine will start. I feel this is a safety issue because if you have a medical issue and need to go for help and the vehicle will not start that is a big problem. Honda knows about this issue but will do nothing about it.Honda's tsb 16-002 does not fix this problem. I have replaced 4 starters on this vehicle not including the original starter and still have the same problem.This problem needs to be addressed before there is a serious problem caused by this issue.This has been a problem on this vehicle for approx. 5yrs..

I was coming out of a turn on a local street, going very slow. My vehicle ended up crossing the two lane road and hit a telephone pole. The pole did not fall down. Thankfully, neither myself nor my front passenger were seriously injured. We had on seat belts and the air bags DID NOT deploy. There was no warning of a crash in terms of instruments or trouble with handling. The vehicle motor was shut off because I tried to cut the motor after impact and it was already stalled.The vehicle was declared a total loss. No one to my knowledge did any safety inspections. I have since learned that the crash may be a result of some known defects in the model. I have never received any recall notices in the years of owning the car. I purchased as certified pre-owned in 2018. This is a courtesy notice to help others.
