Car was in motion on county road when the steering wheel took over the operation of the vehicle and went odd the road into a wooded area. Towed to nick nicholas Ford who telephoned to tell me that the problem cannot be repaired. I then had to total said vehicle. 30;000 plus miles is too low mileage for this to happen. Something is wrong as I did my due diligence before purchase of vehicle. Driving straight. Photos to follow don't have at this time.

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.

My 2015 Honda Accord sport started giving me trouble by not starting. It would do it every once in awhile starting the summer of 2019. By the winter, it wasn't starting up up to 3 times a week. Eventually by the summer of 2020, the car wouldn't start at all.

I was pulling slowly into a parking spot in a parking lot when suddenly car accelerated out of control and brakes did not function..car was going extremely fast..I hit a post and a building..airbag deployed..car was totaled.. airbag saved me. Car only had little over 30,500 miles..in excellent condition. My family who drove the car car said that at times when releasing brake the car would lurch fast forward or back when in reverse. When the car came to a stop after hitting building the 1st thing I did was look where my foot was..it was on the brake. I knew it would be considered "driver error" because I am 80 yrs. Old. But it was the car. Actually this happened before a few months ago but I was able to stop car. Same situation..pulling slowly into a parking spot in a mcdonald's parking lot. Car suddenly accelerated, jumped curb went down a hill and ended up on new road under construction..that lane had not opened yet. I managed to stop at bottom of hill. Consumer has injuries from the airbags. I have a clean driving record..no accidents. I am a retired rn..very clear minded. No serious health problems.

My sirius/xm radio reception is intermittent. I've had it to the dealer twice and they were unable to diagnose the problem. Internet searches suggest this is not an uncommon problem with Honda vehicles. Has this problem been reported to NHTSA and is NHTSA considering a recall?

While driving our 2015 Honda Accord North on I-15 near salt lake city, ut, we heard a very loud, explosion like noise on the top of our car. We exited the interstate and found that the sunroof was shattered. It had exploded! the areas of the car surrounding the sunroof were not affected.

Attempt to start car first thing in the am. Car is in the garage. Does not start, and the fcw, ldw, tire pressure, power steering, engine check, lights come on. Reading the codes shows P2101 set. This has happened 3 times. First time, aaa checked and charged battery and a erased P2101 code. Second time aaa checked battery said it was bad, replaced battery, I reset P2101 code. This last time, a few weeks after new battery installed, tried multiple times to start. On third try car started, ran ok, the fcw, ldw, and other above mentioned code were on. Read the code and it was P2101. Tried resetting codes, was unable to reset code. Drove the car for awhile, ran fine. This is an intermittent problem and could be a safety issue. Doing an internet search, I see this has been a problem with Honda Accord since 2013. Looks like dealers are unable to determine cause. I will be taking my car to the dealer since this time I am unable to reset codes

The car went on fire; the front passenger side was completely burnt. I was at a red light, it started smoking up under the hood, I pulled over, and as I opened the hood it was flaming. Now I have been attempting to repair it as I am still paying the car note. I don't understand how it even happened.

My car won't start on the first time I turn the key. I have to turn the key maybe 3-4 times to get the car started. I'm not sure what it could be. I've done research and I'm not the only one that has the problem. It may be a manufacturer problem.

Accord 4-cyl

  • 79,000 miles
Started car, drove on highway 20 miles. Parked car to run an errand. Tried to start car 5 mins later; lights lit up on dash but car would not start. Tried several times, finally was successful starting car and continued drive to work. Drove to madison Honda, rt 24, madison, NJ. Advised them of issue while car was running. They examined car and came back 45 mins later saying all systems (battery, starter and alternator) were in good working order. No issues found. They could not repeat my problem so disregarded it. Drove last 10 mins to my office. Several hours later, tried to start car, would not crank. Tried several more times, still nothing. I felt stranded at this location with no means of getting home. Waited a few minutes and tried again and it started with no problem. Every morning since this began it's the same thing. The car is unreliable. Yesterday had to try a handful of times before it started. Today I tried to start the car for 25 minutes before I was successful. Drove to my meeting and later began having problems starting the car again. Problem is quickly and progressively getting worse.this car has less than 80,000 miles on it. I have owned this vehicle since early 2015. The dealership has taken care of regular maintenance. This vehicle is unsafe. I never know if and when it will start again! I'm worried about when it will stop starting at all! and where I'll be when it completely fails! this is a huge safety issue! what about tsb 16-002" a design issue that is going unnoticed and unaddressed? why is Honda not responding to these complaints" because of Honda's lack of consideration and the car's unreliability, I won't be buying another Honda!!! please help!

This car has a push button start. You engage the brake and press the button to start. It will not start. It only makes a grinding sound. I can release the brake, press the start button to disengage the start effort. Then reapply the brake, press the start. Sometimes it will then crank and sometimes I have to go through this scenario multiple times before it will crank. This issue does not happen every time you attempt to crank the car but the problem with that is you never know when it will and when it won't. I'm very concerned when is it going to finally not crank and where might I be, this is a safety issue. This has been reported to the dealership many times, only to get the response, "the starter is going bad", this vehicle has less than 70,000 miles and this chain of events has been going on over a year. I purchased this vehicle new and it has been serviced regularly at the dealership. I also have another Honda Accord 2014 (VIN#[xxx]) that has the exact same issue. My daughter and grand daughter depend on this car. I'm so worried about their safety and when they may get stranded. On you tube there is many examples of the same issues, this is very scary.

Problems starting. Thought it was time for a new battery so I bought a top of the line one so that I do not have to replace every 3 years. Still does the same thing. Takes sometimes 4 and even 7 times to start. When leaving in the morning for errands will start but don't want to turn off afraid that I will be stuck. I bought the Honda thinking I was getting a reliable car. So is my starter or ignition an issue. Or electrical. I don't like having car problems, I am not very happy. Please help

The car been having hard time starting. Most of the time it starts right away and sometime it will just click and wont start. But will start after a few tries. Had the battery, alternator, and starter check. And everything came out good. Sometimes after a quick stop to the store the car wont start. Check for recall on my car and it shows 0 unrepaired calls. Seem like alot of people are having same issues.
