Complaints per year on the road: 54.45
Verbatim reports filed with the United States safety regulator (NHTSA) by owners of this exact model year. Public record.
The Power Steering Light, Traction Light, ABS Light, and Brake Light all came on and would stay on leading me to check the code which was a 121-11 which seems to be a very common issue with the 9th generation Honda Accord.
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Honda Accord. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 166,907 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 285,636.
The abs module failed. It is designed to fail as the wires are super thin. Repair quote was $4,000. The part, I’m sure, is then sent out and fixed cheaply then resold for a premium.
