This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Intermittently starts. Will only start when using push start 75% of the time. Other 25% there is a winding and grinding sound. Must repeat push start 5 to 6 times before ignition will fire. This occurs randomly while vehicle is not in motion. Starter will not fire the engine and may be shorting out or is hung up or miss firing. Smells of heated plastic noted during and after miss fire.
Battery has been replaced 3 times and constantly drains despite turning off automatic lights and air conditioning to utilize less battery power. Turning over will choke at times and start but about every time that I take my car in for an oil change the battery power tests low.
Driver side led strip went out around 33K partially, dealership wants to charge 1K to fix it, stating it will need an entire need headlight. Led strips should last longer than 2 1/2, 33K miles.
Car shook every light came on lost brakes and burst into flames. I used emergency brake to stop vehicle. I was on ramp to expresseaylie on long island. Thankfully was right near shoulder and not going to fast other wise I wouldn't have been able to control car and may have hit another car tree or wall. Car was melted and fire dept came and put it out.
My 2016 Honda Accord sedan sport driving running light (drl) has burned out. I have 40,000 miles and hionda is telling me th is that it ccanot be replaced and ask for ne to pay $1,200 to replace this problem.
Both my Accord daytime running lights burned out after 30,000 miles. It is apparently not fixable so to fix this would be a whole new headlight ? every Accord I see on the road now has the drls burned out.. really annoying and a safety hazard as almost all newer vehicles come standard with them and not burned out already.. and coincidentally around the time the warranty runs out. Very disappointing please recall asap. Thanks

My car has cut off on me twice and both times are after I went through the car wash. There is a battery sensor recall that was fixed previously but I think that it is still not fixed. The last time I had to get my car towed bc it would not start. I had to get the car jumped and took it to get the battery tested. I was told the battery is good and showing 100%.
A year after having the vehicle I had to get a new transmission on 5/2017. After the the first repair I started to have issue with my dash board lights and gear indicator would scrambled on and off. Three months later I had my vehicle wouldn't start and I was told I needed a new battery. 8/19/2018 the vehicle broke down again. Its currently at the shop and they are saying its the transmission. Each time the vehicle broke down I was traveling on the interstate when the vehicle started to shift gears.
The daytime running lights failed after the headlight assembly was flickering and hot, this issue started in the passenger side and now both daytime running lights are out. I contacted Honda about this issue and they informed me that they do not have a current recall for this issue and to contact the dealer. The dealer will not fix the problem because the warranty expired. I bought this car because the day time running light safety feature. I did a research of this problem and it is a common problem in this vehicle. I am concern that this electrical problem can cause a fire.

Since the car was purchased in March 2016 has been having electrical issues, almost everyday no start condition. Needs to be jumped everyday. Had the dash board fuse blown within 2 months of purchase of the car, had battery replaced within 9 months of purchase and had alternator tested. Since the transmission recall rough idle on drive and rpms lower then what normally were. No recall as oer VIN for battery sensor but theres some serious issue car wants to stall while driving sometimes. Someting seriously wrong. Randomly steering light, traction control, brake lighy comes on and goes off
Issue 1: led strip on front headlight defective. Had two defective headlight led strips go out on my vehicle. Issue 2: chasis making squeaking sound when driving less than 5 mph driving on incline.
A recall was issued regarding the battery management sensor and battery is out at 46K miles. How do we know that the battery management sensor didn't take out the battery also since is it managing the battery? also, half of the daytime running lights on the driver side headlight decide to go out too. If you web search these issues, these are common issue for the Honda Accord. I guess Honda is only known to be reliable until the warranty period is over.
