STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
While driving home from work, taking my usual country highway, suddenly my car took a sharp turn out of nowhere. I did not brake but tried to steer myself back to my lane. The vehicle jerked that direction, then jerked back the other way. I went back and forth four or five times before very carefully slowing down and pulling the car to the side of the road. Thankfully, no other vehicles were beside or coming toward me, or I am sure this would have resulted in an accident. Multiple dash symbols were lit up and remained on after turning off the car and on again. These were Vehicle Stability Assist, Electric Power Steering, Low Tire Pressure, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning. I waited on the side of the road until a tow truck could pick it up. The service center told us after their test drive that there is nothing wrong with this vehicle. Nothing has been done, and I fear the next time the vehicle decides to "act up."

The vehicle has had several incidents where it won't start when the ignition button is pushed. The dashboard lights come on, but they run through and say that all the ADAS systems are inoperable. This has o cured numerous times I per the years and still hasnt been fixed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE
Warning lights on dash (ABS, Brake, Steering, FCW, LDW, Slip/traction control) all came on at the same time, every time I started the car. Brought to Holler Honda Winter Park, FL and they diagnosed as having faulty VSA modulator-control unit. Part has not been available for over 2 years and don't know when will be available. Dangerous, but told fine to drive car just not to jam on brakes! Doesn't sound safe to me. NO stability control! Miraculously found Honda part at Honda dealer in NJ by searching online after Holler gave me part number. Paid over $900 to buy part/shipping. Brought to Holler to fix. Within 2 weeks had 2 VERY close calls where drivers cut right in front of me almost causing collision and causing me to have to jam on my brakes. BUT...FCW and ABS didn't work. FCW never alerted me to possible collision (used to work perfectly for over 7 years I've had the car) and ABS did not work (brakes locked up and I skidded but miraculously stopped in time). Brought back to Holler Honda and they plugged it in to computer and 1st told me that I had turned off the FCW (I wouldn't know how to do this even if it were possible), then when they could not show me how to turn it back on (because I don't have the ability to turn it off) they told me I must not have FCW (I do) and that the ABS was working just fine (it's not). After speaking with HONDA NA and sharing the info with them, they told me that I did in fact have FCW and that no one could find anything wrong with the car. I think I bought a bad "new" VSA mod. but since Honda refuses to issue a recall when I told them about the problem, I will never know and now can't do anything about it. I know I'm not the only one driving around with a potentially dangerous car because this repair cannot be done and there is an "indefinite, nation-wide waiting list" on the part (due to supply issues). Spent over $1400 to basically have all the warning lights turned off and the car NOT repaired.

Like many others, I have had starter problems on my 2015 Honda Accord. It has less than 50,000 miles and is kept in a garage. The starter should not need to be replaced so soon and I believe it is defective.

STEERING
I was driving at about 30 MPH when the steering wheel froze all of a sudden and Electric Power Steering Malfunction indicator turned on suddenly. The steering became very hard to turn left or right. I was on a road with light traffic so somehow pulled over to the side with manual strength and turned off power. When I turned back the vehicle, it seemed to be ok and I drove for about a mile, only to have the same issue again. The issue seemed to be intermittent which makes it more dangerous. I took the car to a dealer but they could not reproduce the issue and reset the error code. The issue showed up again immediately after leaving dealers place. The car is driven less than 50k miles and about 7 years old. I am the first owner. The power Steering works intermittently, but then again freezes up making it very dangerous to drive. This is a massive safety issue if the system just stops in middle of road as not everyone will have the physical strength to steer the car.I have seen multiple similar reports from people online.

SERVICE BRAKES
ABS Module is defective. Dashboard lights corresponding to ABS and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems continuously turn on and off. A quick online search proves that this is a very common issue on Honda Accords. This was also confirmed by Honda Dealer Service department and two independent mechanics. Honda needs to issue a recall for effected vehicles.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Hello, I turned my car on and saw the engine emissions system warning, which I’ve never seen before. I thought the cold front or sudden temperature change in my city had something to do with it & it would go away because my car is well maintained(all services done at Honda dealership). I was driving on the freeway about 75 mph and all of a sudden my car stops accelerating. I floored the gas pedal but it was only going about 30 mph(felt weak or like it was operating on battery only) this is when the “engine cooling system problem” and “engine temperature too hot” warnings started flashing. The car behind me almost hit me, other cars were passing & honking at me, I was holding up traffic so I got in the emergency lane. While in the emergency lane I had to turn my car on an off about 6 times for it to work normally for about 5/10 minutes before it would start stalling or the acceleration would stop working(this would happen when the coolant warning started flashing) until I got home. I was confused on why the car wasn’t accelerating like normal because I had more than half a gas tank left & my coolant has been replaced. The next day I turn on my car and it’s perfectly normal-no warnings. I took it to the Honda services and showed them the video I took of the warnings because I was scared and felt unsafe driving it, but they told me to bring it back when the warning lights turn back on the dashboard. It was Normal for about a week, then the warning lights popped back up and it would start stalling/not accelerate again. I constantly had to turn my car off and on driving to Honda services. They told me nothing is wrong with the coolant, they did a diagnostic test on it and said it’s the Computer module/electrical interference causing the warning lights/pumps not to not work. I believe it’s the hybrid propulsion system recall 15V602000, I have a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid but my VIN is not recalled? Is there anyway to add my vin to the recall? Please and thank you.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
It is regarding the Starter Grinds or Spins at Startup (Service bulletin 16-002). My car was giving finding noise while starting. When I checked with my dealer they replaced the new starter (I paid from my pocket). Again i got the same issue, then started was replaces 2nd time. On the very next day i received the same issue. So they took their time and did the diagnosis that this is something to do with (Service bulletin 16-002). Dealr is asking for parts and repair cost close to 4.5 grand. I did the research and found that this is an ongoing issue and bulletin was issued. Please advise me as i got stranded on a cold day in Chicago with my family. It is very unsafe.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I had a high pressure fuel pump failure on August 14 2022. I was driving on the highway in stop and go traffic when suddenly my car could not accelerate over 30mph. This was dangerous not only for me but for others around me. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they diagnosed it was a high pressure fuel pump failure. I was then told that this is a very rare part to have failed and there was no cause to the failure. There were no warning lamps, symptoms, or other messages prior to the failure.

ENGINE
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..

AIR BAGS
Both left and right airbags between front doors and front windshield rattle and make noise inside. Noise can be heard clearly while driving above 40 mph and does not stop until vehicle stops. Not sure if this is something that can be looked into by the dealer and repaired but if they are broken or defective, it’s not something the consumer should have to pay for when the airbags have never been used or opened. Defect should be looked at prior to an accident taking place for safety.

STEERING
I am original owner of vehicle, 125,000 miles, well maintained, no accidents. I would like to add to other owner complaints of, "Car is turning without input from driver". My sample turns right. I must actively resist the car in order to maintain my lane. There are no MILs illuminated in the instrument panel. I asked dealer to align the vehicle. Dealer claimed, "Cannot be Aligned", "Power Steering Rack is Leaking". I was skeptical of claim because I have "Electric" Power Steering System. I took vehicle to an independent mechanic. They found minor misalignment and successfully corrected that. The mechanic advised me that he found the vehicle is "wanting to turn right on its own". I have documentation from both establishments.
