2009 Honda Accord Electrical Problems

Your car's alternator caught fire. This is a serious electrical system failure that created a fire hazard. The alternator will need to be replaced immediately, and the electrical system should be inspected for any damage caused by the fire.

Your 2009 Accord developed an oil leak traced to a hairline fracture in the engine housing, which was replaced by the dealer. After the repair, you noticed loud noises under the hood, jerky gear shifting with sudden forward lurching, and a burning chemical smell while driving at highway speeds. Your check engine light came on, and when you pulled over and opened the hood, you discovered the battery had melted.

You discovered that your 2009 Honda Accord's odometer reading was incorrect after purchase. The odometer showed 92,000 miles when you bought the car, but your insurance company found the actual mileage was 225,000 miles. This suggests the odometer may have been tampered with or rolled back before the sale. You may want to consult with your insurance company and consider legal options regarding the private sale.

You purchased a 2009 Honda Accord that wouldn't start after several attempts. When you checked the vehicle history report, you discovered the mileage was significantly higher than what was shown at the time of purchase—the odometer showed about 52,000 miles when you bought it, but the actual mileage was around 148,000 miles. This suggests odometer fraud occurred before you owned the vehicle. Addressing this will likely require filing a complaint with your state's motor vehicle fraud division or consulting with an attorney about your purchase agreement.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to three different independent mechanics; however, the mechanics were unable to determine the cause of failure. The contact was informed that the failure might be related to a faulty electrical system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 147,000.

Had to replace the battery. Turns out the alternator was not charging the battery. I then replaced the alternator. The alternator was contaminated with oil from the VVT. The Variable Valve Timing Solenoid Assembly that is located above the alternator needs to be replaced also. Otherwise the oil leak will damage the alternator again.

THE SRS UNIT HAS FAILED WHICH IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN SOME 2008-2010 HONDA ACCORDS BUT MY PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. CONSIDERING THE FAILURE AND THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM HONDA ON THIS EXACT ISSUE, MY CAR SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL FREE OF CHARGE. I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON.

WE HAVE FOUND THAT ARE 2009 HONDA ACCORD HAS A PARASITIC DRAW WE HAVE TO PULL FUSES SO THE BATTERY DOES NOT GO DEAD WITHIN HOURS. HAVE TRIED NEW BATTERIES, CHARGE BATTERIES. THROUGH OUR OWN RESEARCH PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS PROBLEM A PARASITIC DRAW FROM THE BATTERY AND ITS A MATTER OF TRACING WIRES DOWN AND PULLING FUSES. AND IF YOU WANT TO USE CAR WITHOUT RUNNING BATTERY DOWN MY HUSBAND HAS PULLED A FUSE OR TWO BUT THIS DISABLES SEVERAL THINGS RADIO, SOME DASHBOARD FUNCTIONS. WHICH IF IT KEEPS GOING COULD BE PROBLEMATIC ON THE FUNCTION OF THE HONDA MAYBE AFFECTING LIGHTS EVENTUALLY OR OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. SO WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND HOW BAD IT CAN GET AND HOW IT CAN BE FIXED. SOME PEOPLE WERE DISCONNECTING WIRES TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. WHEN WE BOUGHT CAR IT HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. SO THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY INCREASED AS TIME HAS PASSED.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE RECALL FOR THE MODULE WAS COMPLETED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ODDLY ENOUGH THE SRS LIGHT AND TPS ARE ON AS WELL ALL CAME IN ABOUT THE SAME TIME BUT UNKNOWN AS TO WHY

2009 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE MISFIRING AND LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. *LD *TR

I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT SHORTING OUT WITH MY RADIO AND LOCKS WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING. TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECKED OUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH BATTER OR ALTERNATOR. BRAND NEW BATTERY 2 MONTHS OLD AND IS STILL DOING IT. DIED THIS TIME AFTER ARRIVING TO WORK AND WILL NOT START.

MISSING SOME OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON THE 2009 HONDA ACCORD; MAINLY RADIO, CLIMATE AND SHIFTER BUTTON DISPLAYS; REST OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WORK AND STILL HAVE FUNCTIONALITY

THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT PERIODICALLY APPEARS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS NOT LOW ON MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE TPMS LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VERIFIED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS NORMAL. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS WHILE THE LIGHT REMAINED ON.

POWER WINDOW REAR RT - WON'T CLOSE. THE MOTOR GETS VERY HOT. VERY UNSAFE, HAD MY MECHANIC DISCONNECT THE MOTOR. THE WINDOW STARTED OPENING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION & WOULDN'T CLOSE. WHEN ENGINE IS ON, THE MOTOR IS ON ALL THE TIME AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHEN KEY IS ON POSITIIN.I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS HAD TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE MELTED MOLDING ONLY ON THAT ONE WINDOW. RARELY OPEN THIS WINDOW THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

AFTER PULLING INTO A SHOPPING AREA PARKING LOT, WITH THE CAR STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE OFF, THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO OPEN TRAPPING US IN THE CAR IN THE SUNLIGHT OF A 90 DEGREE DAY, PRESSING THE KEY UNLOCK ACTUATOR TO UNLOCK THE DOORS BY USING THE KEY UNLOCK BUTTON FAILS TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THEREBY PREVENTING THE OCCUPANTS FROM GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND HAS SUBJECTED MY WIFE AND I TO BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IN RAPIDLY RISING HEAT FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES UNTIL AFTER REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE KEY UNLOCK BUTTON THE DOORS UNLOCK. THE CAR IS NOT CAPABLE OF STARTING DURING THIS TIME. THIS FRIGHTENING CIRCUMSTANCE HAS NOW HAPPENED A FEW TIMES - NOT COMFORTABLE FOR TWO PEOPLE IN THEIR SEVENTIES.

MY DRIVER SIDE (LEFT) COURTESY LIGHT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON WHEN THE DOOR(S) OPEN NOR WHEN THE REMOTE IS USED TO UNLOCK THE CAR. YES THE SWITCH IS SET TO DOOR MODE. YES THE LIGHT WORKS WHEN MANUALLY PUSHED. YES ALL OTHER LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE DOOR(S) OPEN. THE BULB IS FINE, THE FUSE IS FINE, AND THE DOOR-LIGHT SWITCH IS FINE. I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT PARTICULARLY REGARDING DRIVING, BUT FOR MY PHYSICAL SAFETY. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SO IF I NEED TO USE THIS LIGHT IN PARTICULAR, I CAN. *TR

ENGINE SURGED AND VEHICLE SPED UP, ON IT'S OWN, WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH BOULDERS AND RAILROAD TIES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT, REAR, UNDERCARRIAGE, AND RUPTURED THE FUEL TANK. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST, PEOPLE WERE YELLING FOR THE OCCUPANTS TO "GET OUT" OF THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE FUEL WAS GUSHING ALL OVER THE GROUND. DRIVER IS 84 AND PASSENGER IS 82. BOTH SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THEIR SPINES AND DRIVER IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AS OF 3/8/2015. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

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

12 VOLT POSITIVE CONNECTION FOR BATTERY GET CORROSION. THE CONNECTION WAS COVERED BY PLASTIC COVER SO I COULD NOT SEE ANY DAMAGE UNTIL MY CAR DIDN'T START. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENED AT MY GARAGE. HOWEVER, I AM VERY SCARED BY THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE, I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROTECTION WITHOUT BATTERY IF THE TERMINAL IS DISCONNECTED ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME OR MORE DANGEROUS AS GM'S IGNITION KEY RECALL. PLEASE RESEARCH HOW MANY HONDA VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HOW MANY PEOPLE GOT INJURY OR FATALITY AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. *TR

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE V6 ENGINE THAT HAS VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT). I HAVE READ SEVERAL DIFFERENT REASONS FOR THE PROBLEM AT HAND BUT, THE CAR IS CONSUMING FAR MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD. FROM THE CONSUMING OF THE OIL IT IS ALSO CAUSING SPARK PLUGS TO FOUL. THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT THAT WAS FILED SOMETIME IN 2012. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ FROM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, HONDA EITHER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLS SOME COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, TELLS PEOPLE THEIR ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, IS TOLD THEY NEED TO RUN A DIFFERENT TYPE OF OIL, OR LIKE MYSELF WAS TOLD THAT IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR THESE ENGINES TO CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1000 MILES DRIVEN. ITS SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVES OR VALVE SEALS SEALING OFF COMPLETELY. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM YET HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR
