The right rear door does not open with the remote, or with the lock/unlock inside button or manually. The system is frozen on that side creating a very dangerous situation for my children that have to travel in the rear seat. There is no way to open the rear door in case of accident/fire or any other emergency.

For the past few months my car has been having trouble turning on. I have had to call geico for a jump start on multiple occasions already. Sometimes when I press the power button, it struggles to turn on and I have to try multiple times. Other times it won't turn on unless I use the remote start option with my key. The car has never turned off on my while I am driving, but a few times while I am driving, the display restarts and it startles me because it goes completely blank as if the car is going to shut off.

My sunroof exploded twice while I was driving on the highway, January 31, 2018 and again on February 26, 2018. After escalating my concerns to Honda corporate in California, lucas Honda made the repairs, although the second repair was improperly done. I had the car towed to lucas Honda March 13, 2018 for the second repair because it was unsafe to drive with all the loose and broken glass everywhere, plus I had just returned to fl from tx after having major surgery which limited my mobility. I called and emailed tracy to let him know that there was a small gap in the rubber lining that was affixed to the glass as well as there was still loose glass that I could hear when turning the car or opening the sunroof. In fact, the sunroof jammed and it took about 10 minutes to get it closed again, from that point I didn't open it again. He left a voicemail on 03/16/18 saying that once it heats up the rubber should mold in place securing the glass. I received a letter from darian curtis at Honda corporate that a district parts and service manager would be overseeing the 3rd repair. I picked up my car shortly thereafter and have heard nothing else, no explanation, no resolution, nothing at all. I have since traded in the vehicle for something else since it is unsafe to drive and I am fearful of driving it. These unexplained instances could cause harm to me and other drivers on the road.

Takata recall - while driving home on the southern state parkway, a leveled highway, I veered towards the right in an effort to avoid a potential accident with another car speeding from behind me. Car passed on my left - all was ok. Then as I went from the break peddle to the gas peddle, boom then driver side and driver seat airbags deployed on my 2015 Honda Accord, the steering wheel began to locked, pulling me towards the left, all of this without collision or known impact to the car.

The plastic case of the battery sensor may have gaps that allow moisture to enter the sensor. If moisture containing conductive substances (such as road salt) enters the battery sensor, it could cause an electrical short and subsequently, a fire.

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.

I recently bought this car in April 2017 and noticed whenever it rains, the interior stinks like mold. I checked for leaks and the rubber trim around the doors and found nothing wrong with them. Since this is a problem that is detected by smell, there is no way for me to prove this to a dealer.

I was going home on 6/9/17 on a very busy highway 52-N at approx 60 mph. The car quit running, the rear wheels lock, and I am sliding sideways. The car just died. There was a tanker truck behind me, who had to lock down his brakes to avoid hitting me while I have my daughter who is under 12 years of age in the car with me! I called the dealership and they said have it towed to them! on 6/10/17, I was told that the battery was dead and that they would replace it and have the tech drive car home and see what happens. On 6/12/17, I was told that they reset warning sensor and that a diode was bad. They wanted tech to drive car again and see what happens. On 6/13/17, I was told that a sensor was bad and they wanted tech to drive car again to see what happens. The morning of 6/14/17, I told that the high pressure steering hose needed replacing, and they wanted a tech to drive the car again! they also stated they were calling the tech line in California to get further info. The afternoon of 6/14/17, I was told that the tech line suggested changing the fuel pump and that should fix the problem. They told me that it would take 2 days to get the part and 1.5 - 2 hours to install. I said okay the morning of 6/15/17, they called me and said part was in and installed, but they wanted tech to drive again to see what happens. I said okay. The morning of 6/16/17, I was called and told car was ready for pick up. I picked car up the afternoon of 6/16/17 and drove home. I immediately noticed a terrible smell. It also acted funny between 3rd and 4th gear. I went to remove a bag from trunk and the trunk smells like a dead animal now. Sat. Afternoon, I am going home and the car does the same exact thing but only worse now since I have both kids in the car with me! something I noticed. The tech only drove it 8.5 miles a day (60 miles total). 6/19 got car towed to dealership again!

Within 5 seconds after we got into the car and closed the doors on the 2 door coupe the back glass exploded. Lucky I was not driving on the highway. It sounded like a bomb and glass flew all over the car. I had not even started the engine. It was in my parking space behind my home. No one was near and the weather was about 40 degrees and clear.

I have a 2015 Honda Accord LX. I started experiencing problems with the stereo approx November 2016. When I would toggle between the radio pre-sets I would loose everything, now sound no stations. It is not till after I shut my car off for a few minutes that it will reset. I have taken video and an actual service advisor at the Honda dealership has seen what it is doing. Since they could not figure out why it was doing this, they replaced the stereo with, which I thought was a new one, but it was a re-manufactured one I found out after I went to connect my phone back to my car and a bunch of names popped up in the phone area. I was told Honda will only authorize a re manufactured one. The stereo that was installed now it doing the same thing. I took it back to the dealership and was told that it was my iphone and I needed to get a new phone. My phone has nothing to do with the actual radio stations. Bluetooth, itunes and pandora yes my phone affects those but not the radio. And if it was my phone then how can I make calls when it all was not working?

Purchased 2 Honda Accord ex-L V6's in December of 2014. Just 1 week ago one of the batteries suddenly died and eventually showed "check charge system" on the display. Honda determined that the battery was really low and replaced it. Fast foward just a couple of days and the other one starts to exhibit the same exact problems. Taking it to Honda again today but assume they will replace the battery as well. Seems odd that the battery would die on both vehicles less than 2 years after purchase. Cars are driven daily for atleast a 20 minute commute each way plus other trips/errands/etc. Very unacceptable and seems to be a common issue dating back to previous models.

Sunroof exploded on 2015 Honda Accord at 9:30 am on 9/19/16 while traveling on highway one mile before exiting. Sounded as if a semi tire exploded near by. It was not an impact break. It exploded outward not inward. There were no vehicles close enough to shoot a rock and it would have hit windshield. I now have on my once perfect unblemished car scratches on top and on trunk. Vehicle is 1.5 years old, 18,000 miles and Honda has informed me they will not cover under the warranty despite that it is obviously a known defect. I have images on phone but having a hard time attaching.

Headlights on low beam have a sharp top side cutoff that makes seeing the road and signs and objects difficult to see at night. Also when going down hill and if the road rises sharply, you cannot see very far ahead, I almost hit someone crossing a street because of this. Also, the heater/ac controls are needlessly complicated, as are the radio controls. Where one knob could control the on/off and fan speed, this car has three separate small buttons where you must take yours eyes off the road to find. The same applies to changing the temperature; there are two up/down separate buttons, where one simple knob would work. The radio, too has too many needless buttons to push. If texting is dangerous while driving, they have made this car dangerous to change almost any control. There should be the rule that controls be kept as simple as possible. I understand that the Lexus even has a separate mouse you must use to change settings! it has gotten out of control.

On Friday May 6, 2016 while driving on interstate 4, driver side window exploded inward hitting me with glass and distributing glass throughout entire inside of car, front and back. Very loud explosion and all glass came inside car. There were no other cars beside me or in front of me at the time. I almost lost control of the vehicle while doing 70 mph. Honda service sanford Florida said there is no issue with their windows doing this, however, when I go on line I see many entries on the internet outlining this same identical issue, plus there are law suits that have been filed against Honda due to this issue. Honda service sanford cleaned all of the glass from within the interior of car without taking pictures. I will take pictues of the inside of door once they remove panels. Something needs to be investigated to ensure that that is there is a defect in the glass that its replaced before someone looses control of their vehicle and causes injury or death to other.
