ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, several battery warning messages would appear on the instrument panel. The contact initially took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that there was a faulty chamber in the battery. The contact stated that the battery was replaced. Since the initial failure, the contact had to replace the battery two more times as the battery warning messages continued to appear on the instrument panel. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V418000 (Electrical System) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
6/24/2022 I was driving my 2015 Honda Accord with 65k miles when the car had no power, unable to accelerate, and limited steering. The following warning lights went on : Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Vehicle Stability System Indicator, Electric Power Steering System Indicstor, and Low Tire Pressure indicator (new tires last week). I let the car sit for awhile and restarted it with the same warnings showing. Very scary and unsafe to suddenly lose power and steering. I had just returned from a trip on a mountain road and busy highway which could have had deadly results. My car is a 2015 with 65 thousand miles on it- how does something this dangerous occur?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My AC compressor is failing, despite the fact that the car is less than 7 years old (purchased Nov 2015) and was driven sparingly for two pandemic years. Other Hondas and several other 2015 car models are known to have AC compressor recalls, of which I think this is related. These units should not have to be replaced so early. Also, my dealer charged $400 just to identify the issue and wanted more than $1700 to fix it despite the part being available for less than $500. That’s price gouging on top of selling defective vehicles.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Starter is inconsistent. Looked online and many customers have complained about it. It’s not just a starter it’s a flaw in the design. Looks like other parts need to be replaced in order to correct the issue. This should be a recall.

POWER TRAIN
I can always feel that the transmission is not responsive. Every now and then when I back up or the car moves into the first gear after I put it in the drive mode it takes awhile before it really moves. It staggers and stalls before the acceleration finally kicks in. The scariest incident was when I needed to accelerate onto the highway on the entry ramp and the car was stalling and refusing to increase torque and speed even though the acceleration pedal was all the way floored. It almost caused a major crash from the rear. Every Honda dealer I go to cannot seem to replicate the issue I keep experiencing and dismiss my account as if it is in my head. I wish someone addresses this important warning urgently before there is a catastrophic car incident involving our lives. Looking forward to a prompt resolution to a recurring issue. My guess is that there was a transmission software update from the dealership when I first bought the car which has caused this recurring transmission issue which Honda refuses to acknowledge.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am having issues starting my vehicle. I have a manufacture alarm system installed in a vehicle. I've never had issues but recently, when I sometimes (not consistently) hear my alarm honks twice before my the car engine starts. Now, my car doesn't even start, no click whatsoever. All the lights do come on when I attempt to start the car. I got a diagnosis done with Napa, no issues with the battery or starter. I also changed the battery on my key. Starting my vehicle was never an issue but recently, maybe 3 months ago. I've searched this issue on the internet and saw that some customers are having the same honking issues and problems with starting their car. I am very concern for my safety that my vehicle does not start. I am not able to quickly start my vehicle when there is an emergency and Ia stranded trying to start my car. Currently, I have been successful in starting my vehicle after multiple attempts, activating and deactivating my alarm, closing and opening the car door, just trying to troubleshoot the issue so I could get my car started. It's becoming an issue as my car is having issues starting daily and I fear for my safety. I contacted a Honda dealership to see what could be done but I was told it would cause me $175 to simply diagnose my vehicle which I don't have the capability of paying for. I currently have 98,000 miles on my vehicle and get an oil change, other maintenance done regularly. I don't expect this issue to happen on a reliable vehicle like a Honda Accord so this issue is surprising to me. It is causing me alot of stress and trauma whenever I start my car, not knowing if I will get stranded or not.

STEERING, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Possible starter/electrical issue when trying to start vehicle. Will start up with no problems at time and then others it will only click and display all dash lights. At times it will take only a few attempts and then it will start while other times it takes several minutes to start. This has been an issue leaving you stranded in a excessively hot vehicle oftentimes with small children in car seats in the back with no air. Dealers say this is a common issue with this make and model although no recall has been put in place. This issue first began in 2020 and has been intermittent since then.

STEERING
Electric power steering failed to work properly, including turning wheels hard to the left without driver effort; driver could override this through continuous effort to hold wheels straight against steering system pull. Dealer service confirmed the problem; replacement cost was $2837, mostly for parts. Vehicle has less than 28,000 miles. There were no warning lamps, messages, etc. Repair notes that DTC vehicle scanned no stored codes.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
While driving my FCW lights came and said failure. I took my car to an independent service center and they confirmed that many Hondas with the same year have had this same problem. Told me that he wouldn't even be able to repair because the part needed to fix the light from coming on was unavailable all across the world. So many Hondas have had this same issue and needed to repair this issue that it's unavailable. I had the car less than one year after I bought it used with less than 95,000 miles. I've owned 5 other Honda accords that would go forever and have 200,000+ miles without any issues. I've already had to place my alternator 5 times and starter as well.

Backup camera doesn’t work anymore it gives me a black screen. I’ve seen multiple people with this problem on the same car this a safety hazard because of the camera not allowing me to see what’s behind me. Car is also fairly new with 45000 miles.

STEERING
While driving on the freeway at 65mph my electric power steering failed. The steering suddenly became very difficult to manage. Fortunately for me, I am a big strong man and was able to control the car. The reason I want to report this is if a person with little strength or disability would not be able to control the car. Especially in a high speed turning situation. I have researched this online and found a few people have had accidents because of the steering failure. The EPS (electric power steering) module failed. Replacing this unit fixed the problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
April 2021 while driving dash guages stopped. No speedometer, no rpm, no temperature. Flashing fcw system failed began to flash. Multiple warning lights appeared. Check engine, power steering, break, abs, fcw, ldw, airbag, vsa and tpms. Honda of Gainesville in Florida has had my car for almost a year. No fix. Replaced engine harness, engine fusebox, computer, and cluster. To no avail. Now they say I need an interior fuse box and entire interior wiring harness. I believe they are just guessing at this point. According to honda internet forums this is a common issue with many years and models. No fix. This has been reported by many honda owners as a safety issue that should be recalled. It is incredibly unsafe to drive this vehicle with all these systems in fail. Please review. Photos and documents attached.
