ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
this has actually been a problem since I first got the car in 2015 but probably started happening in 2016. but it happens so intermittently that I hardly thought about it or figured it just needed a new battery. but I changed the battery and it is still happening where the car won't start. I have to push the button repeatedly or put the car in N to get it to start. eventually it works but I'm worried about an electrical issue causing a fire. when it doesn't start all the lights on the dashboard light up. I keep trying and eventually it works. as I said, I'm afraid it will cause a fire. I called honda and they said some cars were recalled for starter issues but not my vin number. seems like if other Hondas had issues mine would too.
STRUCTURE
the visor won't close all the way and once when braking it cut my husband's forehead. if we get into an accident it could cut slice his forehead. my husband and children noticed this but I never did because I am shorter in the driver's seat. it's pretty dangerous that it won't lay flat against the headliner.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
In my 2015 Honda Accord. The ABS, adaptive cruise control, vehicle stability assist, power steering, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, traction control, hill start assist, and brake system dash lights have all been intermittently coming on and off starting right around 150k miles. Now all of the lights have been on for some time now. I spoke to AutoNation Honda and Chapman Honda here in Tucson and both dealerships said it was a known VSA module issue with Honda. One quoted a $3,700 fix while the other estimated the job to be about $3,800. Technicians at AutoNation Honda confirmed that my Accord has the 32-11 ABS Solenoid Valve Malfunction, and the 85-01 VSA Module Malfunction codes that are directly related to the weak solder used by Honda on these modules. It’s unbelievable that this has been a known issue with Honda’s VSA/ABS modules, and nothing can be done because the cars regular brakes can still be used. This issue directly affects almost every safety function this car came with. Everything is disabled. It’s really unfortunate that this known issue can be labeled as normal wear.
WHEELS
the paint on the original rims has a problem and causes air leaking
STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
First time my 2015 Accord 4dr FWD V6 AT failed to turn, I was coming out of parking area onto busy highway when I suddenly wasn't able to turn steering wheel to right enough to complete the turn and crossed over oncoming traffic lane to opposite shoulder. I parked and tried turning both directions while stationary, and was able to get full range to the left smoothly, but continued to meet complete resistance slightly right of center. There were no warnings whatsoever and the car operated normally prior to this incident. After about 4 minutes of sitting, I restarted car and noticed steering was restored both directions, firmer when moving and very smooth when parked. I took it home and had independent mechanic diagnose and troubleshoot with no answers other than possibly suspension or alignment. I replaced suspension components, got 4-wheel alignment, and steering was firm, responsive, and didn't lock up again for about 200 miles. The next time the steering acted up was when my son was driving back from church and couldn't turn left, again without warning. This time the car kept going straight and he was able to stop before hitting a large metal post. I brought the car home on a trailer. There were no codes, warning lights, sounds, smells, or any other indications of malfunction leading up to this failure. Over the next 2 months, I drove short trips within 8 miles of home on not busy streets and found no specific trend; this steering failure is recurrent, intermittent, and spontaneous, sometimes with stutter in turn. I'm not sure if it's related to known magnet problem or electrical/electronic issue. Obstructs evasive maneuvers. If we were on a mountain (not uncommon if hiking, sightseeing, visiting loved ones, or traveling), this car would have taken my family over the side of steep drop-off or crashed into cliff. Either way, cars don't abruptly transition from horizontal to sharp vertical, and this issue poses severe threat to lives and high probability of injury.
SERVICE BRAKES
The Power Steering Light, Traction Light, ABS Light, and Brake Light all came on and would stay on leading me to check the code which was a 121-11 which seems to be a very common issue with the 9th generation Honda Accord.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Honda Accord. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 166,907 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 285,636.
SERVICE BRAKES
The abs module failed. It is designed to fail as the wires are super thin. Repair quote was $4,000. The part, I’m sure, is then sent out and fixed cheaply then resold for a premium.
STRUCTURE
Door latch mechanism failed. The door doesnt stay closed, it will fly open if youre not holding onto it. Causes the dash to light up with door ajar and the locks trigger everytime it registers its open and you're moving.
