“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11047204, filed 2017-11, 8,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10701134, filed 2015-03, 2,500 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11022033, filed 2017-09, 35,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11163530, filed 2018-12, 36,500 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 ?”
