THE CARS RADIO RANDOMLY REBOOTS AND FREEZES WHILE IN USE AND DRIVING. CALLS WILL DROP, DISPLAY WILL BLANK, AND RESET ITSELF. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE HAVE TO PARK THE CAR, POWER IT OFF AND RESTART TO CLEAR THE ISSUE. HONDA TELLS US THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND IT IS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE.

IN THE LAST YEAR MY CAR HAS NOT TURNED ON 3 TIMES. WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON IT JUST CLICKS AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. ONLY AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS AND WAITING MORE THAN HALF HOUR IT FINALLY TURNS ON WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS. IN JULY, WE CHANGED THE BATTERY. THINKING THIS MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT. AGAIN TODAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO IS CHARGING ME $150!TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2015 BRAND NEW. IT CURRENTLY HAS 35K MILES. A CAR WITH FEW MILES AND ONLY 4 YRS OLD SHOULD NOT BE GIVING ANY PROBLEMS. EVEN LESS HAVING TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC OR MANUFACTURING RELATED PROBLEMS.

DEFECTIVE STARTER MEANT I WAS OFTEN STRANDED, UNABLE TO START THE CAR. HAD TO REPLACE STARTER ON CAR AFTER LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OF USE.

I DROVE MY CAR FOR 10 MINUTES AND THEN STOP AT THE GAS STATION TO PUT SOME GAS THEN AFTER I TRIED TO TURN IT ON AGAIN BUT MY CAR WILL NOT START AND THEN AFTER WAITING FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES HE DID FINALLY START BUT ALL THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON THEN I DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES AND STOP THE CAR TO PARK AND THEN WAIT FOR FIVE MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR START AGAIN BUT THE LIGHTS WERE OFF THIS TIME I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS SAFE BUT IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR MORE THAN THREE TIMES ALREADY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD COUPE NOT STARTING. ONE TIME I WAS PARKED OUT OF TOWN. ANOTHER TIME I WAS IN TOWN, AFTER STOPPING MY VEHICLE AT A RESIDENCE WHERE I WAS VISITING. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE OTHER DAY IT TOOK 50 ATTEMPTS BEFORE MY CAR FINALLY STARTED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WONDER IF MY 4 YEAR OLD CAR WILL START WHEN I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE. THE STARTER IS $640.00 PLUS TAX AND AFTER PUTTING APPROX $700.00 IN ALREADY TO ONLY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MORE MONEY IN TO POSSIBLY SOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A GROWING CONCERN FOR NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON A CAR DISCUSSION BOARD. SOME HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR IF NEEDED.

AT ~92,500 MILES, THIS CAR HAS SUDDENLY BEGUN IN THE PAST WEEK TO SHUT OFF WHILE ACCELERATING/DRIVING (IN MOTION) ON SURFACE STREETS AND FREEWAYS. THE MULTIFUNCTION SCREEN AND/OR SOUND SYSTEM AND/OR DASH/ENGINE/ACCELERATION WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC ANYWHERE FROM 15-65 MPH. WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED, THE SYSTEM HAS QUICKLY REBOOTED AND ALLOWED ME TO RESUME DRIVING. IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE.

MY BATTERY IS EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE EVERY TIME I START MY CAR, WHEN I TAP THE BATTERY CHANNELS THE CAR STARTS AGAIN AND I HAVE TO REPROGRAM DUE TO SHUT DOWN. IT HAS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AS OF JULY 15,2019.

NHTSA ODI 11244926

THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS TROUBLE STARTING. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AS THE ORIGINAL WENT BAD (THE ORIGINAL BATTERY WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD AROUND 35,000 MILES). THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE RESOLVED AND NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER THE CAR IS ACTING UP AGAIN. IT ONLY HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND I CANNOT REPRODUCE THE SYMPTOMS. THIS IS BASICALLY A BRAND NEW CAR BUT IT SEEMS AS THE ALTERNATOR OR STARTER IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

NHTSA ODI 11244237

THE IGNITION SWITCH IS A PROBLEM, IT WORKS ON AND OFF. I CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES AND THEY ARE CLEAN AND FIRMLY SECURED. I REPLACED THE FOB BATTERY TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA. THIS IS CONSTANT PROBLEM WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR.
