2015 Honda Accord Brakes Problems

The contact's father owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the ABS, stability control, Forward Collision Avoidance, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that due to the failure, several electrical and braking features failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and was diagnosed with a defective VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) module. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the part for the repair was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

ABS Module is defective. Dashboard lights corresponding to ABS and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems continuously turn on and off. A quick online search proves that this is a very common issue on Honda Accords. This was also confirmed by Honda Dealer Service department and two independent mechanics. Honda needs to issue a recall for effected vehicles.

While driving my FCW lights came and said failure. I took my car to an independent service center and they confirmed that many Hondas with the same year have had this same problem. Told me that he wouldn't even be able to repair because the part needed to fix the light from coming on was unavailable all across the world. So many Hondas have had this same issue and needed to repair this issue that it's unavailable. I had the car less than one year after I bought it used with less than 95,000 miles. I've owned 5 other Honda accords that would go forever and have 200,000+ miles without any issues. I've already had to place my alternator 5 times and starter as well.

The VSA Modulator-Control Unit failed at only 25K miles

SOME TIME CAR WON'T START WHILE PRESSING START BUTTON, I REPLACED THE BATTERY , STILL ISSUE IS THERE. I NOTICED THAT, WHEN I HAVE THIS ISSUE BREAK BECOME STIFF. I CONTACTED HONDA SERVICE THEY TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE ACROSS HONDA 2015. THE Y QUOTE ME 190$ FOR STARTER INSPECTION AND ANOTHER 190$ FOR BREAK INSPECTION, THESE ARE JUST FOR INSPECTIONS. SINCE THEY TOLD MY CASE WAS THE 3RD CASE IN THAT DAY AND HONDA 2015 ACCORD MODEL HAS FAULTY STARTER , I WONDER WHETHER CAN YOU DO A RESEARCH AND MAKE A RECALL ?

LEFT REAR CALIPER FROZEN. /STUCK LEFT REAR BRAKE PAD UNEVENLY WORN DUE TO BRAKE CALIPER BEING STUCK. CALIPER IS DEFECTIVE , AND NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY

PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE CAPILER SEIZED ON A 2015 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 41,400 MILES ON THE CAR. THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BEFORE THE FAILURE, BRAKE PADS WERE GOOD AND MEASURED 7 ON FRONTS AND 6 ON THE REARS. THE CAR HAD ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND THE 3 YEAR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY HAD ENDED ABOUT 9 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OF THE CAPILER DESTROYED THE BRAKE PAD MAKING THE BRAKE METAL ON METAL WHICH RUINED THE ROTOR. THE FAILURE REQUIRED THE CAR TO NEED REPLACEMENT OF REAR CAPILERS, BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS ON BOTH REAR TIRES. THE SAFETY DEPARTMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO DEFECTS OF THE HONDA ACCORD REAR BRAKING SYSTEM BECAUSE THESE DEFECTS/FAILURES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES.

WHY IS THERE EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN REAR WHEEL BREAK PAD WEAR ON MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V-6 ? THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN DRIVEN SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ON THE HIGHWAY THEN IN THE CITY. AND THE WORST OF THE EXCESSIVE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR OCCURRED DURING THE LAST 8743 MILES. THE FOLLOWING BREAK INSPECTIONS WERE PERFORMED AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND DATA CAME FROM THE ?HONDA MULTI-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION CHECKLIST? DATE MILEAGE LF RF LR RR 11 NOV 15 7008 85% 85% 90% 90% BREAK CONDITION PROGRESSION 01 SEP 16 15768 85% 85% 90% 90% BREAK CONDITION PROGRESSION 19 JUN 17 24734 75% 75% 80% 80% BREAK CONDITION PROGRESSION 19 JUL 18 30291 70% 70% 70% 70% BREAK CONDITION PROGRESSION 07 MAY 19 39034 65%, 65% 30% 30% BREAK CONDITION PROGRESSION (7MM) (7MM) (4MM) (5MM) REMAINING BREAK PAD THICKNESS AS OF 07 MAY 19 THE CAR DEALER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKES DO MOST OF THE STOPPING BUT COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE REAR BRAKE PADS ARE NOW WEARING FASTER THAN THE FRONT PADS. EXCEPT FOR THE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR THE MULTI-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION FOUND ON OTHER ISSUES.

HAD MY 2015 HONDA ACCORD EX-L IN FOR SERVICE TODAY, AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES BECAUSE THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AGAIN. IN THE LAST YEAR TO TRY AND CORRECT THE SOFT PEDAL I HAVE REPLACED THE PADS AND ROTORS, AND A FEW MONTHS HAD THE BRAKES BLED. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY HAVE SEEN ISSUES WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER, LUCKY I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT WILL ONLY COST ME THE DEDUCTIBLE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HAVE MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEMS AT 36000 MILES.

FAULTY BRAKE CALIPERS: MY 2015 ACCORD 4DR WITH 42K MILES WAS RECENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALER HERE IN GREENWICH, CT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE "ALMOST METAL ON METAL" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REMINDED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT REAR BRAKES SHOULD NEVER WEAR OUR BEFORE FRONT BRAKES. THEY REPLIED THAT THIS IS "NORMAL IN NEWER CARS". I ASKED TO RETAIN THE PARTS FOR EXAMINATION. NO SURPRISE THAT THE PADS ARE WORN ABNORMALLY. ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR REAR PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (SEE PHOTO), CLEARLY INDICATING A STICKING CALIPER. I WANTED TO NOTIFY NHTSA AS THIS MAY BE A SAFELY CONCERN, AND NOT JUST POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

REAR BRAKE WEAR- 2015 ACCORD 4DR. WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AT 42K MILES BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY DIED. DURING INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE "ALMOST METAL ON METAL". SERVICE MANAGER LIED AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT THIS WAS "NORMAL FOR NEWER CARS". BRAKE WEAR IS GENERALLY 70/30 FRONT TO REAR, NEVER REAR BRAKES FIRST. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, ONLY 1 OUT OF THE 4 REAR PADS WAS WORN DOWN TO 2MM, AND THE OTHER 3 WERE AT LEAST 4MM. THIS CLEARLY INDICATING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM OR FROZEN CALIPER. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY DEALER AND HONDA.

THE HAND BREAK HAS COME LOOSE IT USES TO COME UP ONLY ONE CLICK BUT NOW IT GOES UP 6-7 CLICKS. CHANGED REST BREAK PADS BUT NO RESOLUTION. ALSO WHEN I ACTIVATE THE HAMSBREAK THE RIGHT SIDE GOES NOT SEEM TO ENGAGE

ON OCTOBER 23RD, 2017 I PRESSED ON A BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR DID NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN. I FRANTICALLY STARTED PRESSING IT A NUMBER OF TIMES AND AFTER ABOUT A 3RD TIME, AN INCH AWAY FROM A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY CAR FINALLY STOPPED. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TAMAROFF HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 45 MPH STREET CALLED ORCHARD LAKE.

THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED WHEN I INITIALLY CONTACYED THE HONDA DEALER THE SAID THE CHATTERING FROM MY BRAKES WAS COMMON WITH ANTI LOCK BRAKES.I KNEW THIS WAS A LIE AND FINALLY MADE THEM TURN THE ROTORS. 220 BUCKS LATER THE BRAKES WORKED. THEY E SHOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR FREE.

2015 HONDA ACCORD HAS PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE NOISE PROBLEM. LUTE RILEY DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS DUE TO BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY RARE THAT A NEW CAR WITH LESS TWO AND HALF YEARS OLD AND MILEAGE LESS THAN 35K HAS REAR BRAKE WEAR-OUT. MY PREVIOUS TOYOTA CAMRY NEVER HAD REAR BRAKE PAD OUT FOR MORE THAN 12 YEARS AND > 155K. THE HONDA REAR BRAKE PAD PROBLEM IS DUE TO HONDA'S REAR BRAKE DESIGN/FABRICATION/MATERIAL PROBLEM. THUS HONDA SHOULD TAKE ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AT THE END OF DECEMBER 2015 WITH 100 MILES ON IT. BY THE END OF JUNE, I NOTICED WHEN I WOULD BRAKE I WOULD FEEL VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET, ANY MILEAGE OVER 55. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ROTORS NEED TO BE RESURFACED. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN TOWARDS THE END OF JANUARY 2016. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER ON FEBRUARY 5, 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT HONDA WOULD ONLY PAY FOR ONE OF THESE PROCEDURES AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE OTHER. I ASKED THE SALESMAN IF THIS WAS AN FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WITH HONDA? WERE THE ROTORS OR BRAKES INEXPENSIVE? HE ASKED THAT MOST LIKELY WAS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF HONDAS ON THE ROAD. THIS WASN'T A JUSTIFIABLE ANSWER FOR ME SO I ADVISED HIM THAT I WOULD DO MY OWN RESEARCH AND REPORT THIS ISSUE IF NECESSARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE PEDAL DEPRESSED IN EXCESS INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 02/10/16*LJ UPDATED 02/25/16.*JB

I PARKED MY CAR IN TARGET PARKING LOT.( THE CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION .) I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE WHERE I DID HEAR A COUPLE OF CLICKS OF ENGAGEMENT OF BRAKE. ENTERED STORE , RETURNED APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER AND MY CAR HAD ROLLED FROM ITS PARKED SPOT APPROXIMATELY 35 -40 FEET BACKWARDS INTO FRONT END OF ANOTHER STATIONARY, UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE. *TR
