2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power. The contact stated that the battery symbol and a message "12V Battery Inoperable" appeared on the instrument cluster. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact pulled over, and the vehicle had a power steering assist function; however, the brakes failed to respond as needed while depressing the brake pedal, and the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The vehicle stalled, and the contact coasted to a stop and attempted to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle restarted but almost immediately stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic scanned the vehicle and retrieved DTC: P0A94 related to the DC power converter. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V418000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.

Hello, I turned my car on and saw the engine emissions system warning, which I’ve never seen before. I thought the cold front or sudden temperature change in my city had something to do with it & it would go away because my car is well maintained(all services done at Honda dealership). I was driving on the freeway about 75 mph and all of a sudden my car stops accelerating. I floored the gas pedal but it was only going about 30 mph(felt weak or like it was operating on battery only) this is when the “engine cooling system problem” and “engine temperature too hot” warnings started flashing. The car behind me almost hit me, other cars were passing & honking at me, I was holding up traffic so I got in the emergency lane. While in the emergency lane I had to turn my car on an off about 6 times for it to work normally for about 5/10 minutes before it would start stalling or the acceleration would stop working(this would happen when the coolant warning started flashing) until I got home. I was confused on why the car wasn’t accelerating like normal because I had more than half a gas tank left & my coolant has been replaced. The next day I turn on my car and it’s perfectly normal-no warnings. I took it to the Honda services and showed them the video I took of the warnings because I was scared and felt unsafe driving it, but they told me to bring it back when the warning lights turn back on the dashboard. It was Normal for about a week, then the warning lights popped back up and it would start stalling/not accelerate again. I constantly had to turn my car off and on driving to Honda services. They told me nothing is wrong with the coolant, they did a diagnostic test on it and said it’s the Computer module/electrical interference causing the warning lights/pumps not to not work. I believe it’s the hybrid propulsion system recall 15V602000, I have a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid but my VIN is not recalled? Is there anyway to add my vin to the recall? Please and thank you.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated that on three separate occasions, the vehicle would independently accelerate soon after the start of the vehicle with his foot on the brake pedal.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, several battery warning messages would appear on the instrument panel. The contact initially took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that there was a faulty chamber in the battery. The contact stated that the battery was replaced. Since the initial failure, the contact had to replace the battery two more times as the battery warning messages continued to appear on the instrument panel. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V418000 (Electrical System) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH POWER SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD TO TAKE THE EXIT SINCE I WAS LUCKILY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND CLOSE TO THE EXIT. CAR WAS RUNNING ON BATTERY ONLY AT AROUND 30 MPH. I PULLED OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF POWER AND TURNED BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO REACH HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE CARDIE TO DRIVABILITY ISSUE. THEY CALLED US BACK AFTER 2 DAYS AND TOLD US THAT THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE NECESSARY ACTION IMMEDIATELY.

PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS DURING THE DAY AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT. POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM DISPLAY COMES ON AND ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT AS WELL. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON HELPS BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ANOTHER 24 HRS OR SO BEFORE TURNING OFF. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT LOSE GAS ENGINE POWER AND OPERATES ELECTRIC ONLY. I WAS GOING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY, AND WHEN I TRY TO STEP ON THE GAS PEDDEL, I CAN MAINTAIN THAT SPEED AS LONG AS THE BATTERY HAD ENOUGH POWER BUT THE GAS ENGINE WILL NOT KICK ON. IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE LEFT LANE AND WAS QUICKLY TRYING TO MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT ON A FREEWAY WITHOUT SHOULDERS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT NEAREST EXIT, HALF A MILE AWAY. HAD THE ERROR MSG APPEAR 4 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME. MY FIRST VISIT, THEY DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG, NO DTC CODES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SECOND VISIT, I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE I SAW ON THIS SITE. THEY APPLIED PATCH TSB 15-057 HV CELL VOLTAGE SENSOR (CVS) SOFTWARE UPDATE, TOOK THE CAR HOME, WHEN TO WORK LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, AND POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN. THIRD VISIT, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAYED ON ONCE AGAIN, TOLD THEM ABOUT HOW IT WAS MY 3RD VISIT IN 2 WEEKS. TECH DROVE THE CAR FOR 10 MILES, POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM POPS UP. FOUND DTCS CODES FINALLY. CODE P108 - GENERATOR MOTOR INVERTERS, AND CODE 0562 - GENERATOR MOTOR CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM LOW VOLTAGE. TECH PERFORMED TROUBLESHOOTING FOR P108C AND REAPPLIED PATCH, I GUESS IT DIDNT GO THRU THE FIRST TIME? DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER 10 MILES AND FOUND NO ERRORS THIS TIME. IT HAS BEEN 5 DAYS SINCE MY LAST VISIT AND I HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE. ALSO TO NOTE, IT HAS NOT BEEN AS HOT HERE IN THE NORTHEAST THE LAST FEW DAYS. HIGHS IN THE 70S COMPARE TO 80S-90S WHEN I BEGAN HAVING THIS ISSUE.

I WAS COMMUTING TO WORK, DRIVING ON A MAJOR, HIGH-TRAFFIC HIGHWAY IN THE HIGH-OCCUPANCY VEHICLE LANE, WHEN WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, SAYING THERE WAS A POWER SYSTEM PROBLEM, A BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND SOME PROBLEM WITH ELEVATED TEMPERATURE THAT MEANT POWER WAS BEING REDUCED. I PUT ON MY FLASHER, HOPING TO MAKE MY WAY ACROSS THREE LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO PULL OFF ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. BUT I HAD NO POWER AT ALL. LUCKILY, THERE WAS A SHOULDER TO THE LEFT WHERE I COULD PULL OFF. (DESPITE THE WARNING, THE BRAKES SEEMED OKAY.) THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND IT WAS PURE LUCK THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS "A COMMON PROBLEM" WITH THE ACCORD HYBRID AND THAT HONDA HAD ISSUED A SOFTWARE FIX THAT SHOULD SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS TRUE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SO OWNERS WILL BECOME AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CAN GET IT FIXED RATHER THAN WAITING UNTIL POWER FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS OCCUR.

DRIVING IN MIDDLE LANE OF THREE-LANE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ADVANCE WARNING. INDICATOR CAME ON STATING "BATTERY CHARGING" PROBLEM. THE TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK, THE EMERGENCY FLASHER DID NOT WORK, POWER STEERING STOPPED AND BRAKES WORKED ONLY WITH PUMPING AND PUSHING HARD, CAR HAD NO POWER. WITH TRACTOR-TRAILERS AND VEHICLES ON BOTH SIDES, IN FRONT AND IN THE REAR, ALL GOING 70 MPH THE SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT HIT AND WITH THE CAR'S INERTIA, I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND BRING THE CAR TO A STOP.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGH WAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN A LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID "POWER SYSTEM FAIL" AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO USE THE ACCELERATOR. I STAYED CALM BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS ALL AROUND ME AND I BEGAN TO COAST AND USE MOMENTUM TO DRIFT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THEN A SECOND LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID 'BRAKE SYSTEM POWER FAIL". I TAPPED THE BREAK AND IT SEEMED TO WORK BUT I CONTINUED TO COAST DOWN THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I RAN OUT OF MOMENTUM. I THEN TURNED MY BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD EXL HYBRID OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON BUT THE ACCELORATOR WAS WORKING SO I DROVE THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST SERVICE AREA ON THE HIGHWAY. I THEN CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE WHO TOLD ME TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. HE SAID THAT I MUST HAVE BROKEN A BELT. WHY HE SAID OR THOUGHT THAT HE COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FROM A CALL CENTER I'M NOT SURE. IT WAS OVER 100 DEGREES SO I DID NOT LISTEN TO THE MAN FROM HONDA BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HOT AND NOT SAFE FOR ME TO SIT IN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT AIR. I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK WHICH COST ME $250 EVEN THOUGH ITS A BRAND NEW CAR AND I HAVE HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. MY HUSBAND CAME AND MET ME WHERE THE TOW LEFT ME. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO OUR DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS EVER HAPPENING AND THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW THAT ANYTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS SO SCARY AND DANGEROUS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. THEY EVEN ASKED ME IF I ACCIDENTALLY TURNED THE CAR OFF WHILE DRIVING?!?!?! THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE!!!! I JUST FOUND THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT FROM ANOTHER HONDA DRIVER ON HERE WHICH ALSO SHOWS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND SOMETHING IS WRONG. AS A WOMAN WHO CHOSE THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SO RELIABLE AND SAFE I AM SO UPSET. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE.
