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.

My battery is having trouble. Car continues to randomly die. There are no lights or items being left on while I am outside of my vehicle. Battery has been tested and replaced with same issue. Inside car all electrical starts to flash quickly when trying to start my car (this shows car is dead)
For the past few months my car has been having trouble turning on. I have had to call geico for a jump start on multiple occasions already. Sometimes when I press the power button, it struggles to turn on and I have to try multiple times. Other times it won't turn on unless I use the remote start option with my key. The car has never turned off on my while I am driving, but a few times while I am driving, the display restarts and it startles me because it goes completely blank as if the car is going to shut off.
My 2015 Honda Accord with abt 70,000 miles on it; the car wouldn't start, the engine wouldn't turn. In the process of troubleshooting we discovered that his starter went out. We called the dealership and they said it wasn't covered under warranties. Just a few months ago, our neighbor had exactly the same problem - he has a 2015 Honda Accord and his car's starter went out. He spent some $700 fixing it and it was only a few months out of 3 years 36,000 miles warranty. There seems to be a high rate of starter failures on newer Honda Accord, which may necessitate a recall.
Difficulty starting. Keyless entry senses key but fails to start when brake is depressed and ignition button is pressed. Happening multiple times/week and becoming more frequent. Often starts after 2-3 attempts. Not resolved by replacing battery, resolving battery sensor recall, or checking fuel pump. Problem seems to be starter and has left me stranded when car does not start.

I am taking my 2015 Honda Accord sport to Honda dealer (southbay Honda, milpitas, ca) to complete "replace battery mgmt sensor" recall 17V-418 completion. My car has started showing unique problem of not starting on first try, some times it starts on first try, other times it takes more than one try to start. This is frustrating & scary to get stranded. Car is less than 22K miles (bought Dec. 2014). After looking at internet this is common problem & should be consider recall of "replace starter". dealer are quoting around $1000 to replace starter, should be covered as it's defective Honda part. To your knowledge there are many Honda Accord 2013-2015 owners with similar issue. Here is one thread:
The car would give a hard time starting once a week, this started 3 weeks ago, then last week it just stopped turning on, after trying couple of times, I turned it on, drove to the Honda dealership were they told me that I needed a new battery and a new starter. They would not cover it since the car passed the 36,000miles, it had 42,000miles. I noticed another car similar to mine had the same problem at the dealership, so I went online to research this issue and found out that Honda knew about this problem happening quiet often and did not issue a recall as well as them having a class action law suit regarding this matter. I have done all the work at a Honda dealership and have documents and receipts it costed me about 840$$ which is a lot of money for a relatively new car.
Car battery died 3 times in 2 months the year make model has recall for battery sensor short causing battery drain/failure as well as potential fire hazard with negative terminal. My vehicle should be included in this recall
Towards the end of 2017, I had my Honda Accord service as a result of the battery defect recall. After such repair, my vehicle stalled on a busy highway back in February 2018. I bought the car new and it had approximately 45,000 miles the Honda dealer stated it was the alternator and charged me to repair it. However, on 4/1/18 the car stalled once again and I the engine would not start. I have researched this issue and it appears the too many 2015 Honda Accord are having the same problem following the battery defect recall. This is a safety risk, since the vehicle loses all power leaving one vulnerable to bing hit by other vehicles when the car stalls. My car panel/ system does not give any warning prior to shutting down all power while the car is on motion. Once the car stalls, one can not turn the engine back on. I truly believe that this has to be investigated before some one is killed as a result that F this defect on the Honda Accord.
I received the notice of the recall for the battery sensor and took the car in August but the dealer said that they didn't have the part. Next maintenance in November I reminded them of the recall on the battery and they gave me the temporary fixing. Shortly after this the battery started to fail. I would have my car parked and it wouldn't turn on. This has been more constant now. Went back to the dealer March 7, 2018 and I mentioned about the battery and they told me the battery was fine that nothing was wrong with it.on the third day after my battery died 2 times after having it off for less then 10 minutes. And had to jump start it. I have seen that many have said the solution is to buy a new battery but the car is just 2 years since I bought it new and my mileage is not even 40,000 miles yet. Honda should be the one to fix this.
Battery died suddenly, without warning. On 1/1/2018, I drive to the gas station on my way to the airport. I turned my car off and noticed that pump was out of of order so started my car and drove to another pump without issue. I filled up my tank, which took about 4 gallons of gas, then when I tried so start my car it would not start. I have push button start and all of the electronics worked but the ignition would not turn over. The dash blinked. I tried 3 more times and the brake pedal felt very tight and the car still would not start. This left me stranded at the gas station. I had to call roadside rescue. When the guy jumped my battery he said my battery was so low that when I turn my car off next time it would not start again. This is at 6am in the morning on a holiday, and I'm supposed to be parking my car for 5 days St the airport. I had to cancel my flight and find a place to buy a new battery that same day, without having to turn my car off. The battery cost almost $200. This car was purchased brand new from dealer so it had the original battery that came with the car within. I also have all maintenance done at dealer, most recently two months previous, where all things checked were listed as ok. This car was purchased in July 2015. The battery should not have failed so quickly. The car had 56,165 at the time of battery failure. There was no warning. The car has never not started. This was very dangerous. I know about the recall on the battery sensor, and we received the temporary fix and will get the permanent fix during our next maintenance, however I find it strange that my battery failed in between. I've never, since I've owned a car, had to replace a car battery in just 2.5 years of usage.
Battery has left me stranded 3+ times. Not to mention that I have taken in the car a few times due to all the re-calls its hard. Battery and electronica blue tooth has its issues as well.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the battery died after the vehicle was parked. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not towed. The vehicle was taken to Honda of freehold (4244 U.S. 9, freehold, NJ 07728, (732) 410-5508) where it was diagnosed that there was a dead cell in the battery. The vehicle was repaired with a new battery. The failure occurred after the vehicle had an open recall repaired for electrical issues related to the battery and a new recall was issued under NHTSA campaign number: 17V418000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 40,935.
On Wednesday November 8th my wife went out to start our 2015 Honda Accord with 38,531 miles. The car did not start. We had the car towed to university Honda. The service advisor checked the car out and said that the car battery was dead. We were required to purchase a new battery for $127.63. I contacted american Honda requesting to be reimbursed the $127.63. They opened a case #06448979. My car is 2,531 miles outside its warranty. It has a recall notice for faulty battery sensors. The car was purchased 7/31/15, so the battery failed after only 27 months. The new battery that I purchased from Honda has a 100 month warranty with no mileage limit. A reasonable person would expect a new car battery to last longer than 27 months, especially since when Honda sells the battery separately from the car you are given a 100 month warranty. So either the battery was faulty or the faulty battery sensors caused the battery to fail prematurely. Tia from american Honda stated that the battery was beyond the 36,000 mile warranty and all she could do is give me 'Honda dollars' that I can spend on Honda products. She would not let me talk to anyone else. After researching this issue online and talking to mechanics, it seems that Honda has sold cars with faulty electrical systems that cause batteries to fail prematurely. I would like Honda to reimburse me for the costs that I have incurred and recall their faulty batteries.
I was informed of a recall affecting the battery/charging system of the vehicle. The mentioned issue already caused my battery to fail as well. When I took the car in for the repair the battery sensor was replaced free of charge. The battery was tested and was no good. This is a direct result of the failed battery sensing which was causing a charging system problem. I had to pay for $118.10 for the battery. I feel I should be reimbursed for the battery. Also, I had already taken the car in a few months before for the charging issue. I was made to feel like an idiot. The recall was not out at the time.
My issue is I purchased the vehicle from the Honda dealership and without any disclosed information, did they say anything about my vehicle being on recall. Also I drove out of the dealership told that my car passed the inspection but then told me I have to go get it inspected. My vehicle failed the inspection after I was told that it passed when it was at the dealership. The monitor catalyst, monitor evap, monitor 02, none we're ready for an inspection. I was then told that I have to keep driving the car to put some miles on it. Never heard of this before that's why I am reaching out.
Went to leave from our garage and tried to start the car and it would not crank, radio come on but then everything begin to flicker but would not start, however this is not the first tome. I took vehicle to Honda dealer 2 wks ago and they said that everything they see is good...but it's apparent something is wrong.
