Won't start

Honda Accord 2015 4.3 138000 miles
My 2015 accord sport was running fine then the next day I went to start it and it crank up then spit and sputtered before dying and wouldn't crank back up. I had water in my gas tank so drained it and added new gas still nothing... The main chip in my ECU turned out to be damaged so got a new one but the car won't communicate with it. The honda dealership says it's acting like it's been struck by lighting which it hasn't... any suggestions??

Honda Accord 2013 EX-L Sedan 2.4L CVT 200 miles
I was driving s on i-55 a few miles n of west memphis. As i attempted to change lanes my steering wheel was very hard to turn. I looked all over the dash & found a small light shaped like a steering wheel on the far left of the dash. Fortunately i was near an exit and was able to get to a station. Turning in & parking was almost impossible. The owners manual said to turn car off and on. This corrected the problem and i drove the approximate 200 miles to my home. I planned to get it checked out at honda. Two days later the keyless ignition failed about ten times before finally starting.… Read complete

Honda Accord 2014 EX-L V-6 Sedan 3.5L 6A
I had just left the dealership after they cleared a "fcw system failed" message and i entered the interstate. While traveling in the lane adjacent to the far left at a speed of approximately 68 mph, the car violently jerked, the fcw system failed message returned, all emergency icons were illuminated on the dash, and my car lost acceleration in traffic. Despite repeated attempts to accelerate the vehicle, the engine had no response and was sitting at idle while i decelerated in the middle of traffic. The vehicle was returned to the dealership where it underwent 3 days of service for what was d… Read complete

Problem 2009 Honda Accord 5A 3.5L

Honda Accord 2009 EX-L V-6 Sedan 3.5L 5A
Engine light and vsa warning light came on while driving on the freeway. Luckily my family reached our destination shortly after this occurred in fontana, ca. While the vehicle was in motion it would jerk and hesitate backwards while driving. I took it to rock honda the following morning on 10/18/2013 in fontana, ca and they charged me 638. 60 stating the vehicle needed a pcm updated software and adjusted valves. In doing further research it seems i should have never been charged this as there is a recall id #74308 stating issues with the pcm and tcm and that honda would update the control module software free of charge. *tr

Fix 2011 Honda Accord EX-L 3.5L 6cyl

Honda Accord 2011 EX-L V-6 Sedan 3.5L 5A 4700 miles
Wife was driving at highway speed when car began to violently shake as if engine was misfiring. Check engine light came on, then severely reduced power. She was barely able to exit and make it across the access road and into a turn lane with the accelerator to the floor. Car still shook violently as she placed it in park. Dealership cannot explain shaking. Car only has 4,700 miles and was purchased new from servicing dealer. They said oil was 1. 5-2 quarts low so they topped it off. Tripped a code for a stuck solenoid in the camshaft timing system so they reprogrammed the pcm and gave the car… Read complete
