2015 Honda Accord Engine

I bought a car from a private seller on Craigslist. I've only driven the car for 2k miles before the check engine light came. Before that I had to spend like 1k on the breaks oilchange etc to get the car upto date. Now it feels really unsafe to be in especially for my daughter who is [XXX]. The dmv suspected odometer fraud. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased a car from AutoNation Toyota Hayward in Hayward California on June 21, 2025. And on June 24,2025, the check engine light appeared. A mechanic checked my car for the code and informed me that the catalytic converter is faulty. The dealership had informed me that they check the car prior to be sold. As it goes through multiple checks. However, the car that was sold was faulty. They refused to answer my questions as to why a faulty car was sold. As I was driving the car back to the dealership, I could smell the fumes throughout my car.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving 25 MPH, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment, and the vehicle started to vibrate, and almost stalled. The contact’s daughter safely drove to the residence, and the vehicle was towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there were two engine cylinders that were inoperable, and that the engine needed to be disassembled for additional diagnostic testing. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V121000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 93,466.

My oil filter is a constant problem for me and no matter how many times i get it replaced it’s still leaking and i was informed that it may cause a fire and i have children in my car every day and i want to avoid that happening

The starter grinds or spins at startup.

Bought the car used from Michigan car dealer in Shelby MI. Car had 44,820 miles. Bought the car 4/29/23. The day after I bought it the starter would not engage properly and makes a loud grinding periodically and have to put it in neutral to start it.

Starter motor.Will not turn the engine over to start. When the push button start is pushed you get a buzzing sound because the starter is not engageing the flywheel on the torque converter.Sometimes you have to push the start button as many as 5-10 times before the engine will start. I feel this is a safety issue because if you have a medical issue and need to go for help and the vehicle will not start that is a big problem. Honda knows about this issue but will do nothing about it.Honda's tsb 16-002 does not fix this problem. I have replaced 4 starters on this vehicle not including the original starter and still have the same problem.This problem needs to be addressed before there is a serious problem caused by this issue.This has been a problem on this vehicle for approx. 5yrs..

On May, 25, 2021 my family were on the highway and all of a sudden the car started stalling. In which the accelerater started braking instead of moving, the car was slowing with all the lights turning on on the dashboard. FCU failure message flashing with engine sign, Ldw, Fcw, tire pressure, stability sign, steering sign all came on. It almost caused us to have an accident. My kids my wife everyones were screaming because other cars and trucks around us, and we didn't know what's going on with out car and other cars were honking at us. We were all so scared and my wife was crying, my kids were crying. We signal with our hands out of the car to get to the shoulder and stopped the car. We thought we are going to die if any of the trucks or cars hit us. Never scared in our life like that day. So still my car is on my driveway parked. There is a recall of the 6 cylinder of 2015 manufactured. But not for the 4 cylinder same safety issues other people have. I contacted the American Honda but they are denying any safety issues 2015 Honda accord 4 cylinder have engin failure. Please issue a safety recall so it will be safer before someone's family is put in danger instead of not knowing when their cars engin fails.

Car intermittently won't start

As the car is running in the highway lost power and can not accelerate

I AM NOW LOOKING INTO BUYING A $400 PART + LABOR TO REPLACE A STARTER ON A LESS THAN 70000 CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. THIS BRAND HAS AN ISSUE AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND I GET THE OIL CHANGED EVERY THREE MONTHS REGARDLESS OF MILAGE. TODAY I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY. THERE WAS NO INDICATION LIGHT AND THE MORE I SEARCH ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD FIX THE DEFECT.

STARTER GRINDS WHEN PRESS START BUTTON. HONDA WANTS $1000 TO FIX BUT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL....

I HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE, NOW ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, GRINDING OF THE STARTER AS DESCRIBED IN HONDA TSB 16-002. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BY OTHER CONSUMERS. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HONDA CONTINUES TO DENY. I WISH TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS IN HOPES OF EVENTUALLY HAVING A RECALL ISSUED.

I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE OF LOSS OF ENGINE POWER THAT MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.IF THE ENGINE LEAKS OIL IN THE PROXIMITY OF A HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST COMPONENTS ,THERE IS A RISK OF FIE. WELL THIS STALL OR NO POWER HAPPENS TO ME FREQUENTLY SINCE IVE OWN THE CAR. TOLD THEM ABOUT IT WHEN I WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGES BUT WAS NEVER WRITTEN DOWN OR LOOKED AT SO I JUST CHALKED IT UP AS DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT SO I'D LET IT GO. SO WHEN I WAS LOOKING UP HONDA ROTO TROUBLES .I SAW THIS RECALL AN WONDERING WHY I DIDN'T GET A RECALL SINCE I THINK MY CAR FALLS INTO THIS. SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT AT NO COST TO ME FOR SURE THAT I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS DANGER FOR 4 YEARS AND IS SCARY THAT I'M TRYING TO GO IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND NO POWER THEN IT PICKS UP. THINK ABOUT IT WHEN AN IF YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND YOUR TRYING TO GO AND A CAR BAREING DOWN ON YOU AND YOU CAN GO BECAUSE OF NO POWER? ONLY WAY LIKE I SAID I FOUND THIS WAS BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING WHY MY REAR ROTORS WERE WARPED AND HAD TO REPLACE THEM. LOVE TO HEAR YOUR INPUT. THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION BUT WON'T BE SURPRISED IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU PEOPLE SEE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CARE!

THE STARTER MOTOR SOLENOID FAILS TO ENGAGE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO NOT START. THIS STARTED AT AROUND 38,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STARTER MOTOR.
