ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TOWARDS THE END OF 2017, I HAD MY HONDA ACCORD SERVICE AS A RESULT OF THE BATTERY DEFECT RECALL. AFTER SUCH REPAIR, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY BACK IN FEBRUARY 2018. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES THE HONDA DEALER STATED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND CHARGED ME TO REPAIR IT . HOWEVER, ON 4/1/18 THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN AND I THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THE TOO MANY 2015 HONDA ACCORDS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FOLLOWING THE BATTERY DEFECT RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK, SINCE THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER LEAVING ONE VULNERABLE TO BING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THE CAR STALLS. MY CAR PANEL/ SYSTEM DOES NOT GIVE ANY WARNING PRIOR TO SHUTTING DOWN ALL POWER WHILE THE CAR IS ON MOTION. ONCE THE CAR STALLS, ONE CAN NOT TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED AS A RESULT THAT F THIS DEFECT ON THE HONDA ACCORD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE RECALL FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR AND TOOK THE CAR IN AUGUST BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. NEXT MAINTENANCE IN NOVEMBER I REMINDED THEM OF THE RECALL ON THE BATTERY AND THEY GAVE ME THE TEMPORARY FIXING. SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE BATTERY STARTED TO FAIL. I WOULD HAVE MY CAR PARKED AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. THIS HAS BEEN MORE CONSTANT NOW. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER MARCH 7, 2018 AND I MENTIONED ABOUT THE BATTERY AND THEY TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS FINE THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER MY BATTERY DIED 2 TIMES AFTER HAVING IT OFF FOR LESS THEN 10 MINUTES. AND HAD TO JUMP START IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY HAVE SAID THE SOLUTION IS TO BUY A NEW BATTERY BUT THE CAR IS JUST 2 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND MY MILEAGE IS NOT EVEN 40,000 MILES YET. HONDA SHOULD BE THE ONE TO FIX THIS.

SERVICE BRAKES
FAULTY BRAKE CALIPERS: MY 2015 ACCORD 4DR WITH 42K MILES WAS RECENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALER HERE IN GREENWICH, CT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE "ALMOST METAL ON METAL" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REMINDED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT REAR BRAKES SHOULD NEVER WEAR OUR BEFORE FRONT BRAKES. THEY REPLIED THAT THIS IS "NORMAL IN NEWER CARS". I ASKED TO RETAIN THE PARTS FOR EXAMINATION. NO SURPRISE THAT THE PADS ARE WORN ABNORMALLY. ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR REAR PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (SEE PHOTO), CLEARLY INDICATING A STICKING CALIPER. I WANTED TO NOTIFY NHTSA AS THIS MAY BE A SAFELY CONCERN, AND NOT JUST POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

SERVICE BRAKES
REAR BRAKE WEAR- 2015 ACCORD 4DR. WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AT 42K MILES BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY DIED. DURING INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE "ALMOST METAL ON METAL". SERVICE MANAGER LIED AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT THIS WAS "NORMAL FOR NEWER CARS". BRAKE WEAR IS GENERALLY 70/30 FRONT TO REAR, NEVER REAR BRAKES FIRST. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, ONLY 1 OUT OF THE 4 REAR PADS WAS WORN DOWN TO 2MM, AND THE OTHER 3 WERE AT LEAST 4MM. THIS CLEARLY INDICATING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM OR FROZEN CALIPER. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY DEALER AND HONDA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD PURCHASED BRAND NEW ACCORD HYBRID 2015 IN DECEMBER 2015 AND IN JANUARY 2018 CAR BATTERY IS DRAINED FULLY DUE TO UNKNOWN REASON. LAST NIGHT , IN -5F TEMPERATURE MY CAR BROKE ON THE ROAD AND I HAVE SEEN WORST IN MY LIFE DUE TO CAR ISSUE ON THE ROAD. I WOULD APPRECIATE , IF YOU LOOK INTO THE QUALITY OF BATTERY ISSUE BEING PLACED IN CAR FROM HONDA AND VARIOUS DEALERS AS IT SOUNDS SKETCHY TO ME. EVEN IF I DROVE 45K MILES BATTERY SHOULD LAST LONGER ON NEWER CAR COMPARE OLDER CARS. I WOULD APPRECIATE , IF YOU CAN LOOK INTO IT MORE CLOSELY.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BATTERY DIED SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING. ON 1/1/2018, I DRIVE TO THE GAS STATION ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND NOTICED THAT PUMP WAS OUT OF OF ORDER SO STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE TO ANOTHER PUMP WITHOUT ISSUE. I FILLED UP MY TANK, WHICH TOOK ABOUT 4 GALLONS OF GAS, THEN WHEN I TRIED SO START MY CAR IT WOULD NOT START. I HAVE PUSH BUTTON START AND ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS WORKED BUT THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE DASH BLINKED. I TRIED 3 MORE TIMES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT VERY TIGHT AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED AT THE GAS STATION. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE RESCUE. WHEN THE GUY JUMPED MY BATTERY HE SAID MY BATTERY WAS SO LOW THAT WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF NEXT TIME IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS IS AT 6AM IN THE MORNING ON A HOLIDAY, AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE PARKING MY CAR FOR 5 DAYS ST THE AIRPORT. I HAD TO CANCEL MY FLIGHT AND FIND A PLACE TO BUY A NEW BATTERY THAT SAME DAY, WITHOUT HAVING TO TURN MY CAR OFF. THE BATTERY COST ALMOST $200. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM DEALER SO IT HAD THE ORIGINAL BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WITHIN. I ALSO HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT DEALER, MOST RECENTLY TWO MONTHS PREVIOUS, WHERE ALL THINGS CHECKED WERE LISTED AS OK. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2015. THE BATTERY SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED SO QUICKLY. THE CAR HAD 56,165 AT THE TIME OF BATTERY FAILURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE CAR HAS NEVER NOT STARTED. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE BATTERY SENSOR, AND WE RECEIVED THE TEMPORARY FIX AND WILL GET THE PERMANENT FIX DURING OUR NEXT MAINTENANCE, HOWEVER I FIND IT STRANGE THAT MY BATTERY FAILED IN BETWEEN. I'VE NEVER, SINCE I'VE OWNED A CAR, HAD TO REPLACE A CAR BATTERY IN JUST 2.5 YEARS OF USAGE.
