2015 Honda Accord Hybrid Engine Problems

Car goes into like a safety mode and does not accelerate when given gas. Car also will not go past 40mph. We see there is a recall for this issue for 2015 Honda accords but vin says it does not apply for this recall even though we are having the exact issue.

While driving on interstate highway at normal speed (55-60 mph), all dash warning lamps lit up and i could hear a rattling sound and saw white smoke coming out of exhaust/back of car. Luckily i was able to safely pull car over as engine failed. I checked underneath car to see if anything was loose and did not notice anything. My car needed to be towed since engine was dead. Independent mechanic confirmed that engine rod bolts blew out and an entirely new engine was needed. All proper maintenance was completed and car was running fine with no warning lights or sounds/problems noticed prior to time of incident.

TAKATA RECALL: WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON STATING: "EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM & ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM." THIS SOMEHOW TRIGGER A SAFE FAIL MODE THAT PROHIBITS THE CAR GOING FASTER THAN APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, IT SHOWED DTC P2602 STORED FOR ELECTRIC WATER PUMP LOW VOLTAGE. THEY WERE ABLE TO PERFORM THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP PERFORMANCE AND IT CLEARED THE CODE. BUT WITHIN 24 HOURS, THE DTC RETURNS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T BE ABLE GO FASTER THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR..

I WAS TRAVELING N/B ON I-95 IN THE LAUREL, MD AREA WHEN THE DASH BOARD DISPLAYED WARNINGS THAT THE CAR WAS OVER HEATING, BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND REDUCING POWER. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE RAPIDLY. I FELT THE IMMINENT DANGER OF HAVING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS DRIVING BY WITH SPEEDS IN EXCESS 75MPH, AS MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. I SINCERELY FEEL THAT A GUARDIAN ANGEL WAS LOOKING OVER ME, ALLOWING ME FIND A BREAK IN TRAFFIC AND EXIT THE ROADWAY. ITS FRIGHTENING TO THINK OF THE OUTCOME IF I WERE UNABLE TO EXIT THIS HIGHWAY SAFELY. THIS 2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID WAS PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2015. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE FIRST EXTENDED ROAD TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL NOT JEOPARDIZED MY LIFE, OR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY BY OPERATING THIS NEW VEHICLE EVER AGAIN.

A NEW CAR THAT SHUTS DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY, OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE ANYTIME. THE DEFECTIVE PART NUMBER IS 1K100-5K1-A03, WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER, AND WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHEN THIS PART WOULD ARRIVE. *TR UPDATED 10/06/15*LJ UPDATED 11/22/2017*CN
