What 609 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid

Car was in accident late August 2024. Car was brought to Honda dealership in Harrisonburg, VA. Repairs were made early September 2024 except for driver seat belt. Part is currently still on backorder with Honda (today is 1/16/2025). A case (#XXX) has been opened with Honda Corporate but part has no estimated date available. Car can not be driven as it is not legal or safe to drive without part. Part must be a new part, no used or remanufactured part is acceptable. Honda continues to produce new vehicles with seat belts but they are not providing required safety parts for existing cars. Waiting 5 months is unacceptable and being without this car comes at expense and burden to us. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving in rainy conditions, no puddles or standing water observed on road. Driving about 50mph, slight bend in road. The car suddenly veers left and I cannot control the car with steering wheel. The car hits the median, spins completely around and then hits median again and stops. I put the car in park and turned the car off. The airbags on driver’s side windows, steering wheel, and driver’s seat deployed. I did not see any warning lights. I have second degree burns on left hand and left forearm. The car is being looked at by an independent service at this time. I have not contacted manufacturer. If the insurance company does not think the car is totaled, and we fix the car, how do I know this won’t happen again?

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.

My daughter was driving my car on Route 80 on Thursday, May 13th around 9:10 am when she heard a noise and thought it might be her tire. She pulled off the exit Ramp for Parsippany and pulled over. When she stepped out of the car she felt heat. She turned around and saw flames under the car. She reached in for her bag and purse and when she moved away the entire car was in flames by the time the State Police arrived. She did sustain a burn to her ankle which is still healing and will take about 6-8 weeks. She got burnt on her arm, neck, ear lobe, her hair line was singed as well as her eyelashes. I am waiting for the report from the Parsippany Fire Department. The Netcong State Police were on the scene and I have that Report Number, I have not been able to retrieve this report. The car was examined by the insurance company and listed as a total loss. Unfortunately, we do not know the cause of the fire and Honda was not the most responsive during this entire thing. There was absolutely no warning of what was going on and if she did not hear something and think it was a tire she would not be here today. I will attach the photos we have of the car.
