Door latch mechanism failed. The door doesnt stay closed, it will fly open if youre not holding onto it. Causes the dash to light up with door ajar and the locks trigger everytime it registers its open and you're moving.
An accident occurred in my vehicle on 05/29/2026. It resulted in both air bags deploying even though the passenger side that was involved in the collision and damaged. It was considered a total loss due to the frame and passenger side as well as both air bags deployments. The driver sustained major lacerations on his forearm and was bleeding profusely from his arm during the time of the accident. The vehicle did not have comprehensive insurance therefore had to be salvaged and sold to the junk yard.
PAINT IS PEELING FROM LEFT PASSENGER PANEL, BY THE TRUNK, AND SPOILER. RIGHT SIDE LOOKS TERRIBLE ALSO.
THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL HAS BEEN DOING SO FOR LAST 20,000 MILES OR THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED IT. IT'S LOSING A QUART EVERY 1500 MILES.

THE CAR WENT ON FIRE; THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY BURNT. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, IT STARTED SMOKING UP UNDER THE HOOD, I PULLED OVER, AND AS I OPENED THE HOOD IT WAS FLAMING.

THERE IS A WARRANTY EXT. ON THE PAINT AND HONDA CORP. WILL NOT COVER RENTAL WHICH WILL TAKE 7 DAYS TO REPAIR. IT IS NO FAULT OF MY OWN THAT THE PAINT IS PEELING, AND I CAN GO WITH OUT A CAR.
I HAVE THE WHITE ORCHARD PAINT AND IT IS PEELING FROM AROUND THE EDGES OF MY REAR ROOF AND SIDE PANELS. I WASH IT ABOUT ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS WITH QUALITY REPUTABLE PRODUCTS AND DRY IT AFTER. EVEN TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF IT AFTER 5 YEARS-THE PAINT SHOULD NOT BE PEELING!
I HAVE A 2015 HONDA ACCORD SPORT, PEARL WHITE COLOR WITH 48,900 MILES. I WAS WASHING MY CAR (9/01/19) AND I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING ON THE SIDES OF THE REAR WINDOW CHANNEL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PUT SOMETHING INSIDE THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK CLOSED AND STRUCK THE CONTACT ON THE NOSE. HER NOSE WAS SORE, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

THE TRUNK LID WILL NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE. NO ISSUES WITH LID CLOSING HAVE OCCURRED WHILE PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND. BUT, WHEN PARKED ON A SLOPING DRIVEWAY, TRUNK LID WILL DROP TO THE CLOSED POSITION WITHOUT WARNING HITTING ANYONE ACCESSING ITEMS IN THE TRUNK. INCIDENTS OF THE TRUNK LID HITTING SOMEONE IN THE HEAD OR BACK HAVE OCCURRED. WHILE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SO FAR, IF TRUNK LID WERE TO FALL THE ENTIRE DISTANCE AND HIT SOMEONE'S HANDS, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR INJURY.
THE TRUNK ON MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY OPENS SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE THE TRUNK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM LEAVING MY HOUSE SO I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRUNK OPENING FEATURE ON THIS CAR. I BACK OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND AFTER DRIVING FOR 1/2 A BLOCK OR 1 BLOCK THE TRUNK OPEN LIGHT COMES ON. THEN I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUNK OR THE TRUNK LID WILL OPEN FULLY AND BLOCK MY VISIBILITY OUT OF MY REAR WINDOW. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM NOT SURE IF STARTING THE CAR CAUSES THIS PROBLEM OR PUTTING THE CAR IN GEAR OR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THAT SERIES OF ACTIONS THAT CAUSES THE TRUNK TO OPEN. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I LEAVE MY HOUSE BUT IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON HONDA CARS SO I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR
EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE COMING FROM WINDOWS. MAINLY NOTICED FROM DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS. MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. NO WATER LEAKS DETECTED DURING TIME OF RAIN OR DURING CAR WASH.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME AROUND THE CUP HOLDERS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL CAUSED A BLINDING AFFECT WHEN THE SUN HIT IT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD TO PULL OVER TO KEEP THE GLARE FROM THE SUN FROM MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES AND THE ROADWAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 6/3/15*CN
ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, 2015 HONDA ACCORD SPORT'S GAS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN AFTER 10-15 ATTEMPTS AT THE GAS STATION. ON TWO OCCASIONS, I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO OPEN THE GAS DOOR AND FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION AND THE OTHER TWO TIMES, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR (HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE). ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS SENT BACK WITHOUT SERVICE BEING DONE SINCE THE GAS DOOR OPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT. *JS
AFTER LEASING MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT, I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY, AFTER REACHING THE SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR I STARTED HEARING A NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. FIRST I THOUGHT MY DOOR OR WINDOW WAS NOT FULLY CLOSED BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. IT SOUNDS LIKE AIR IS LEAKING THROUGH THE DOOR ONCE I GET ABOVE 55 MPH. I RECHECKED THE SEALS ON THE DOORS, EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE BUT THE NOISE KEEPS HAPPENING. I MIGHT NEED TO GET THE DOOR SEALS ON THAT SIDE TO BE REPLACED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. *TR
