CarComplaints.com Notes: Some people think the seats in the 2015 Accord are uncomfortable, which is a problem that has plagued the Accord since 2008.

However our opinion is the seats have gotten better, & aside from that issue, the 2015 model year seems relatively trouble free.

Vehicle is not starting when I push the ignition. I've been to many forums where similar problems have been reported and many solutions tried but no fix found. People have spent thousands of dollars to fix this issue and still no fix. I've replaced the battery and had the electrical system tested with no issue found. Honda issued tsb 16-002 for V6 Accord models but doesn't acknowledge the issue on my V4 model. Vehicle is parked - issue has been ongoing and is getting progressively worse to the point that I am not drving it! spoke with Honda customer complaint rep and informed that the tsb still does not apply to my car. In the mid-West during the winter months the risk of being stranded in sub-zero temps is very real with this issue and has already happened to me twice.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the push start button feature would intermittently fail to function; taking multiple attempts to activate the vehicle. The contact had not taken the vehicle to be serviced by a dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired. Upon investigation, he discovered a technical service bulletin: A16-002 which he related to the failure. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Intermittent issues with starting. I hear and see a flicker on the dashboard and lights, however it doesn't start.I plug a jumper pack in and it immediately starts, as if nothing happened. This will have 5-6 times a week after running fine throughout the day. Just happens surprisingly. The starter has been replaced in which the Honda dealership says was the issue. There is clearly some other issue happening, maybe the electrical system but they refused to check to even help diagnose again.

Vehicle needs new battery every 2 years. Has left me stranded twice. The car has less than 90,000 miles and is only 4 years old. Honda has replaced under recall some type of battery sensor but this has not helped. There are two tsb's that I know of: Tsb 16-002 and tsb 17-057. Car gurus website has a blog with a large number of Accord owners all in the same boat. People are replacing starters, alternators, ignition switches, batteries, etc. To no avail. Honda has turned its back on its customers. I can not afford this. Please help.

The past month my vehicle will start intermittently. I will turn the key and nothing happens. No click from the starter or nothing. Lights come on. Turn key to off and try again and it starts. Battery and alternator tested good. My guess it is the starter going bad or the starter relay. Car has 75000 miles on it. Obviously car is parked. This occurred 11/20/2019 to present. It is random when it does happen and is happening more often.

Vehicle is not starting when I turn the ignition. I've been to many forums where similar problems have been reported and many solutions tried but no fix found. People have spent thousands of dollars to fix this issue and still no fix. I've had to replace the battery twice already on my vehicle after leaving me stranded. Now, the ignition won't even start. I have to try and try for about 10 minutes until it finally turns on. I am afraid I will be stranded again. For a relatively new vehicle, this is unacceptable and should be fixed immediately!

Whenever attempting to start the vehicle after it had recently been turned off (ex: When getting gas or running into store quickly) the dash and interior lights up and chimes but makes no attempt at start (no fuel pump power or attempt to crank over motor) and this occurs frequently amidst my vehicle and others of the same year/ make without ever receiving a check engine light or warning. He noted as well that the vehicle has had the battery, starter, and alternator tested without any conclusive results as to the issue. Honda dealership as well failed to give me or other owners a conclusive fix for the issue and remains ongoing.

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.

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 plus tax and after putting approx $700 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.

Accord

  • 93,000 miles
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.

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.

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.
