2013 HONDA ACCORD Electrical System Problems

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase of the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 100,900. It was later discovered upon checking Google that the mileage was 260,000.

Mileage: 260,000

No Start condition. Car takes minutes to start due to faulty push button start. This is a well documented condition by the public. The safety concern is that repeated attempts to start will drain the battery and cause degradation of the starter, which in case of an emergency or an occupant in an unsafe environment, or on a public roadway, puts the driver, occupants at risk. Honda is well aware of this problem but rejects any liability.

Started car and dashboard light came on then off showing steering wheel and exclamation point. Then re-started and drove normally. A few days later, when starting the steering wheel unable was unable to be turned. Dashboard light show steering wheel and exclamation point. Required towing. Dealer determined diagnostic code DTC 34-05 Power Relay Stuck OFF I found multiple reports of power steering failure in this model Honda Accord 2013. Since there is no RECALL, it should be an extended warranty until next year. I’m asking if the power relay is covered by the extended warranty. Is there going to be a recall since this is so dangerous?

Dash board lights indicated ABS system module malfunction, per Illinois Honda dealership diagnosis. ABS module failure also causes failure of forward collision warning system and lane departure warning system.

In the past 2–3 months, multiple door lock actuators/latches on my 2013 Honda Accord have failed. Both rear doors will not reliably lock or unlock, and the front driver door actuator is intermittent. This means that three of the four doors cannot be secured or opened normally. This is a serious safety and security issue. The car cannot be locked to prevent theft or unauthorized entry. Children or passengers in the rear may not be able to exit safely in an emergency. I am also concerned that the failure could compromise crash safety if doors cannot be unlocked quickly after a collision. Performance Kings Honda (Cincinnati, OH) inspected the vehicle, confirmed the failures, and diagnosed both rear door latch/actuator assemblies as faulty. They provided an estimate of $1,000+ for repairs. I have an open case with American Honda. Honda acknowledges there is no recall, but this appears to be a systemic defect rather than normal wear, since multiple actuators have failed simultaneously. There were no warning lights or messages. The issue developed gradually, starting with difficulty locking/unlocking one door, followed by failure of the others. The vehicle remains available for inspection at the Honda dealership.

I have been having problems with many dashboard lights coming on at once. I got it checked out and I got ABS code 123 - 11 and code 81 - 20. This has been going on since the beginning of August 2025. This could lead to dangerous malfunctions, And is one of the most expensive things to repair. It is my understanding that many many vehicles between 2013 and 2017 in the Honda range I've been experiencing this to the point of where we need a recall.

The contact purchased a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the advertisement and the odometer indicated that the mileage was 156,000. The contact stated that upon test driving the vehicle, the odometer became inoperable. The dealer took the vehicle into the service department, and after resetting the odometer, the vehicle was purchased by the contact. The vehicle was a used car dealer sale. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to purchase and replace the battery. The contact stated that after the new battery was installed, the odometer indicated that the mileage was 453,000. The dealer was contacted and made aware of the discrepancy. The contact stated that upon researching, the contact noticed that the dealer had changed the mileage on the original advertisement.

Mileage: 453,000

After a driveshaft recall repair was performed on July 10, 2025, at Germain Honda of Dublin, my 2013 Honda Accord EX-L immediately began showing multiple safety system warning lights, including ABS, VSA, traction control, and check engine. These lights had never appeared prior to the repair. Diagnostic codes included: •VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction •Modulator Control Unit Power Source Circuit (IG) Low Voltage These point directly to the ABS/VSA modulator, which is located near where the driveshaft repair was done. Despite the timing, Honda has refused to cover the repair, quoting me nearly $3,000. The dealer also cleared the codes before I arrived and then claimed they were “historic” with no documentation. I’ve confirmed my battery and alternator are in good condition, ruling out the common causes of voltage errors. I believe something was disturbed or left improperly connected during the recall service, resulting in a dangerous condition involving the vehicle’s braking and stability systems. This is a potential safety risk that arose after a manufacturer-issued recall repair, and I am requesting a formal investigation into similar cases if reported.

The car has starting issues where it takes up to 20 attempts at the start button to get the car to start. This is a safety issue, since a person can get stranded in the middle of nowhere. I now leave my car engine on all the time (wasting gas, adding CO to the atmosphere, overheating the car) while I run errands, as I don't want to get stranded.

The ABS pump/motor, ABS modulator needs to be replaced. This is a pretty common issue with the Honda Accord from 2008-2017. Fixing this problem is expensive at the dealer. I believe Honda motors should have a recall about this situation because how pricy this is. Looking online for information and videos on youtube many people have been quoted 2,800 dollars and up to replace it. I just replace the ABS sensor driver side and ABS, Brake, Steering Wheel came out. These are coming on and off. Please I would like to get some help with this situation.

Vehicle included in 2017 Battery sensor recall, repaired promptly upon notice. This is a separate issue/sensor. ***Electrical Safety Hazard impacting EPS, ABS, TPMS*** *** All other electrical components involved *** Car has had electrical issues since the day I purchased it in 2016, with no codes indicating an issue. Car would fail to start, testing would indicate starter or battery failure. For the last three months, voltage would drop to unacceptable levels whenever the headlights were off (6 week old, brand new, not reman alternator unit maintained 14 amps with lights on, dropped to 12.1 with them off). On July 11, 2025 (4 days ago as of this report), while driving approximately 47 mph, the plug in voltmeter on the car abruptly started plummeting on a road with sharp angles and no shoulder to pull onto, despite lights being on. No improvement after shutting off lights, climate control, and radio displays, continues lowering to 11.8. Turned climate control back on, headlights back on, briefly alternator reached 12.2 amps, before rapidly dropping to unsustainable levels (I was aware of this because of my plug in voltmeter. The car's built in electrical system didn't alert until the voltage hit 8.8). Still nowhere to pull over safely. Electronic power steering cuts out abruptly, followed by abs, tpms, traction control. Turning the car into the first available lot to get out of traffic, on my left took an inordinate amount of strength, and I barely coasted to a stop when every single electronic component on the car blinked out and the entire car shut down. The car is exclusively maintained by a licensed, accredited automotive repair facility's owner, who is a master automotive technician and able to provide proof of all of the above, including previous electrical repairs listed below. The issue is the vehicle's ELD sensor. One small part has cost me nearly 7 figures in repairs Car has gone through 4 starters, 8 batteries, and is now waiting on a 3rd alternator

While driving the car the power steering light comes on and power steering goes out then. No warning just goes off and power to steering wheel is not working. This has happened going 55 mph. Very dangerous. I feel this should be investigated. I did read this was a problem with this car. WHY NO RECALL??!! ALSO WAS CHECKED BY MECHANIC. This has happened more than once before today

VSA ABS FCW EPS warning lights, according to Honda dealership it needs a VSA ABS module, these are thousands of dollars and there’s thousands and thousands of pissed off customers. This should be warranted. It looks like honda of Europe did warranty it. I’m not sure what’s going on in honda North America. It can cause the brake pedal to go soft, and is definitely a safety hazard

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that upon having the vehicle appraised to sell the vehicle, a Carfax report discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was approximately 120,000; however, according to the Carfax report, as of October 2024, the vehicle mileage was approximately 217,000.

Mileage: 217,000

Failure to start problems began about 3 years ago. Initially we had to push the start button several times to get the car started. It got progressively worse. We paid $810. to replace the starter with a remanufactured starter part. The dealership said they used the remanufactured part because it had a 3 year warranty while a new starter would have only a 1 year warranty. It worked for 3 or 4 months and then started to act up again. The dealership replaced the starter again with another remanufactured starter part in November of "24. Now it is March of "25 and my wife is marking the calendar again on the days the starter malfunctions which has been several days in the past month. We have been left stranded and I fear this could result in a serious safety problem if it happended in heavy traffic or some other vulnerable situation. There are many Honda starter complaints on the internet! Why hasn't there been a recall?

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to start. The contacted stated that the battery was replaced several times; however, the failure recurred approximately 3-4 months later. The vehicle was jumpstarted and was towed to a Toyota dealer, where the battery, the alternator and alternator belt were replaced; however, the failure recurred the following morning. Additionally, the contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V418000 (Electrical System); which the contact related to the failure; however, the contact had not received a recall notification from the manufacturer. The Honda dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 70,722.

Mileage: 70,722

My 2013 Honda Accord touring with 110,000 miles all of a sudden all the lights on the dash came on. I took it to the dealer. The dealer told me that the electronic control module or the vehicle stability control module was bad. At that time, the dealer could not get the part and at that time, the part was $1400so a year later. when I had the money I went to get the car fixed at that point the part was $2600. It cost me $3500 to get the vehicle repaired. It was not under warranty. There was no recall and I was left holding the bag I have found there are many cases of the same part going bad and Honda refuses to accept responsibility, leaving us owners out in the cold.

The car has keyless entry and push button to start. Recently I noticed the car was not able to start correctly when pushing the push button. Sometimes it can start but it needs the keyfob to be very close to the push button. 3 days ago the car wont start at all no matter how I tried it. Testes battery and starter all are at working condition. I suspected the keyless push start button is faulty.

On December 10, 2024, while driving at approximately 45 mph on State Street, my vehicle suddenly lost all power and stalled. The dashboard lights went out, and there were no prior warning indicators. Thankfully, I was able to coast safely off the road and restart the vehicle after it stalled. Before this incident, I had experienced multiple occasions when my car took unusually long to start. When pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle struggled to accelerate, feeling like it had no power. On December 26, 2024, I received an email stating that certain 2013–2023 Honda Accords might be subject to a recall due to a faulty fuel pump. However, after checking my specific VIN, I found no active recalls listed for my vehicle. Given the issues I have been experiencing over the past year—including stalling and power loss—I believe my vehicle may be affected by the same faulty fuel pump issue. I am filing this complaint to document that the identified fuel pump issue may affect more vehicles from these model years.

While driving my 2013 Honda Accord sedan on the turnpike, I experienced a critical failure of the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator, which was later inspected and confirmed to be malfunctioning by a Honda service technician at South Motors Honda. This component is available for inspection upon request. As I was traveling at approximately 65 mph, the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) malfunctioned, causing the brakes to lock up when I attempted to slow down for traffic ahead. This sudden loss of braking control put my safety and the safety of others at significant risk, as I nearly collided with the vehicle in front of me. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by an independent service center. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Prior to the failure, several warning lamps, including the VSA, ABS, and BRAKE lights, illuminated on the dashboard. These warning lights first appeared about a week before the incident, but I was unable to get the vehicle serviced immediately due to scheduling constraints. Additionally, the Front Collision Warning system was not functioning, which further compromised my ability to avoid a potential accident. This malfunction was particularly concerning as it failed to alert me to the rapidly approaching vehicle ahead, exacerbating the dangerous situation caused by the ABS failure.

2013 Honda Accord EX-L V6 2 Separate Malfunctions Loss of all Power Steering Faulty VSA Module effecting Dashboard Indicators Broken VSA (Vehicle Stability Assistance) Module causes the ABS, FCW, LDW VSA, Steering, and Tire Gauge Warnings to light up solid. Causing the driver to be unaware if anything is wrong with the vehicle. Also leaving the car without working safety features promised by Honda such as the (FCW) Forward Collision Warning and (LDW) Lane Departure Warning Due to the Faulty VSA Module I did not receive a warning at my loss of power steering. I was able to maneuver myself off the main road and take it to a local mechanic who after scanning and checking was confused and suggested that it would most likely need an entire steering rack replacement. Still haven't gone to an Official Honda Dealership. I did not receive any warning from the vehicle when my power steering went out. Due to the faulty VSA module affecting the lights on my dashboard that included the one that would indicate faulty Power Steering. This is the first year of the model to incorporate ESA. NHSTA has had a open investigation into the faulty Power Steering but was eventually closed due to lack of reports. Many people have been reporting similar issues with this model and it has caused accidents and allegedly some deaths. At this current time there is no safety recall by Honda to fix either the Broken VSA Module or more importantly the Power Steering. VSA Modules have been recalled and replaced by Honda in different countries but not in the United States. The Faulty VSA Module puts drivers at risk by leaving the driver unaware of any potential issues with their vehicle until the problem already happens and leaves mechanics confused as to what the issue actually is. I implore NHTSA to take action against this very dangerous issue with both the loss of Power Steering and the VSA module with this year and model of Honda.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to start while depressing the Push-to-Start button, with an abnormal grinding sound coming from under the hood. No warning light was illuminated. The contact who is an independent mechanic, diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the starter needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulleting: 16-002; however, the vehicle was not included. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 159,000.

Mileage: 159,000

All the safety error lights come up on dash (ABS, steering control, tire pressure, stability control) all aluminate. Initially they would only come on when vehicle sat while running for more than a few min and once parked overnight they would not come back on. Now they are on 100% of the time and never go off. There a a ton of videos out there with a faulty ANS module. Honda is selling them for like $1400 part + labor. An entire industry has started to repair them and video showing the fault in wiring showing bad soldering joints where very thin wire is attached. My car has 95,500 miles on it.

the fuel pump on my 2013 honda accord went out. Ive taken the vehicle to the honda dealer multiple times to get it diagnosed and they keep telling me its the high pressure fuel pump and once replaced my car will run smoothly.NOT the case ive replaced it more than 6 times, my car still stalls and turns off at random so im unable to drive the vehicle. it starts and drives but you have to look at the rpms while driving, if i go over 2000 rpms itll stall. when the issue first started i was at a redlight when the vehicle stalled, thankfully no one was around me since it was late but had there been traffic my car would have been hit. i have 2 children and I cant and will not put them in that car knowing it has a problem no one is willing to take a deep dive into. Due to this issue multiple lights on the dash are on and wont go off until the problem is fixed.

I was involved in a accident in which my car had stalled on me in the middle of a intersection and I was hit by on coming traffic and I also got hit by a truck on my left hand side which had been just repaired by someone who was certified and pay through insurance company when I got my vehicle back the ads light was on my dash as well I was hurt And the airbags split open my lips and my head

There is something wrong with the electric power steering. Every time I drive my steering wheel pulls to the left so if I let go of the steering wheel the steering wheel will pull to the left and could potentially cause a car crash and while driving and difficulty steering (either steering feeling too firm or too loose). This is happening without the electric power steering warning light being illuminated. I do not feel safe.

When my 2013 Accord was around 80,000 miles my dashboard lit up with "Forward Collison Warning System Failure." The following lights are also on, LDW, Power Steering, TPMS, Traction Control. I took my car to a mechanic and was told I needed a new VSA/ ABS Brake Control Module. I was told this is a common problem for Hondas and is dangerous as it disables traction control and could affect braking as well. The mechanic and a honda dealer quoted me $3,200 for this repair.

ABS module failure. Lights up emergency brake, tire pressure warning, Electrical power steering, and Vehicle Stability Assist indicator. Did some research and the failure is caused by faulty soldering inside the ABS module.

The ABS system went out. All the lights in the dashboard is on. The module was on back order for months and it’s cost $2500. Why should I have to pay for a faulty electrical system that my actions had no bearing on?

The ABS module failure has caused all my dash boards lights to remain on making the lan assist and calibration impossible to complete. This needs to be investigated for all Honda accords from 2012 - 2018. I have had several mechanics say this should be recalled due to its occurrence. The other issue is the timing belt slips without any wrecks due to being poorly built.

Car started to show FWC lights, LDW lights, steering warning, Traction control. Inspected by two mechanics and say the codes come back to ABS module defect.

Code 123_11 for bad ABS module. Lights that turn on within the dashboard are: Front Crash Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), TPMS, Traction Control, and Electronic Power steering. This issue is common within this generation of Accord and Honda needs to issue a recall.

I was driving into a parking spot and the car started flickering, the screen turned off and the steering locked and would not allow me to move the car at all even though it was in drive.

The car has just over 91,000 miles on it and the push button start is working only intermittently. I know I’m not the only one because the online forums are full of started problems with these. It’s my only car and Honda has known for years it is a problem with these.

The ABS module is malfunctioning which is a common issue with this car and should have been recalled many years ago.

When starting the engine and while driving at speeds of 60+MPH, Malfunction lamp, FCW, VSA, LDW, Low tire pressure (TPMS), ECON mode, and EPS warning lights come on and vehicles slows to 10 MPH. Vehicle will remain in this condition until restarted which may or may not resolve the issue. Car will drive but not at speed desired and vehicles appears/sounds as if it is trying to change gears but cannot. The car continues to try to slow down to lower speeds.

The ABS/VSA Module failure: Tire pressure, traction control, steering, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) dash lights come on; the vehicle is available for inspection upon request, pending recall or private repair. The safety of the driver, passengers, and outside parties is at risk in case of brake failure or brake locking in a situation where the LDW or FCW has failed to alert the driver of a pending collision. The dealer conducted a diagnostic service on the morning of 07/01/2024 indicating ABS Module and Brake Flush, codes 81.19 and 81.20, with a repair cost of $2,385.49 for the ABS Module part and labor of 4.95 ($3335.49) and Brake Flush labor of .8 ($179.95) for a total cost of $3,575.44. The vehicle or parts have not been inspected by police, insurance representatives, or others, although Galpin Honda performed the above diagnostic. The vehicle dashboard lights mentioned above come on shortly after driving the vehicle at times, with the lights alternating between on and off at any given start-up—they can light up or be off at start-up/drive-off.

My vehicle dash has been displaying the TPMS light (blinking then solid), Power Steering, Traction control light for the past year to two. I have checked my tire pressure they are to specifications the sensors are fine, my traction control does not respond to the button in the car to enable or disable the traction control. I thankfully have not yet lost power steering but the light is on. I had researched the problem and have found several and I mean several honda accord owners all with the same problem. Only yesterday did my ABS light on my dash turned on and has consistently stayed on (on occasion would turn off like the others but then reappear). Based on internet searches and forums all things point to a faulty ABS module, a module countless honda accord owners have indicated Honda is aware of such fault and expect honda owners to pay an exorbitant amount of money to repair it when its a model wide issue. The danger this poses is the uncertainty of the reliability of these features that are meant to keep motorists safe. To make matters worse I am concerned about the safety of my family with a toddler and infant when riding my vehicle. This is not something that broke down due to negligence on the vehicle owners part. This is a manufacturer issue that affects every single honda accord from 2013 through 2022. To make matters worse when people tried to get the ABS module fixed its unavailable. Honda needs to repair all these modules and a recall needs to be issued. This is unacceptable. I will be very hesitant to buy another Honda again.

I lost control of vehicle while driving because the electrical steering motor stopped working. I’ve had the electric starter already replaced twice with Honda parts and it’s still not working. There’s something wrong with the steering. I already placed a complaint and I have not heard back from Honda or NHTSA. I sent letters to NYS Senators Schumer and Hillabrand and I have not yet heard back from them yet either. I sent letters emails to Congress and the Senate transportation committees. I’ve found testimonials for the same issues online even with videos. I just read a complaint that was nearly identical the experience I had except it happened in 2020. The power steering stops and starts same for the cars starter and windows. I took the car to Honda dealer to repair it on March [XXX], 2024. I now have a car repair bill for $8500 at Curry Honda in Yorktown Heights. They said I needed to replace entire exhaust system $3000 because they couldn’t get to the steering column without taking down the fragile exhaust system. Basically, I had no choice. In order to start the repairs they wanted a $4,500 down payment which I paid. They’ve now had the car for 37 days. They described the steering column and motor system as being completely corroded to the point where the steering column was going to snap/break. What they said at the Honda dealer was the Honda steering motor and wiring was completely corroded which is not common. A few weeks later they told me that the knuckle/ball bearings were rusted out and that all the shock absorbers needed replaced as they were also rusted out even the screws according to them. They said these should all be replaced or I would fail inspection. The bill went from $3000 to $4700 to $6200 to $7900 to now $8500 includes tax. They’re still working on the vehicle and they’ve had it since March [XXX], it’s now May [XXX], 2024. I’ve asked them for the parts that they’re removing and they said they’ll save the parts. Do you want them? Recall? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM O

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the traction control, vehicle stability assist, the low tire pressure, and steering wheel symbols were illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle but was worried that the warnings had indicated a larger mechanical failure with the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS module and motherboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Mileage: 120,000

Several Dashboard lights came on. Electric Steering ,Tire Pressure Sensor, Traction Control, ABS, Brake lights. Paid 300 dollar diagnostic fee for Honda dealer to tell me this is a known issue on Hondas and would cost 3,000 dollars to repair. Final verdict, ABS module needs replacement. Also seems to be causing issues with the transmission shift points due to the Vehicle speed sensor having an error with code P-0717 input shaft speed error. Upon doing research, the mother board connections from connector to the motherboard are very thin and lose connection over time causing safety issues since it's unknown if the ABS is working correctly with the fault lights on, also the tire pressure is not currently monitored correctly due to the light is always on among other monitored systems that have lights illuminated on the dashboard.

Hoping to take care of the starter grinding on startup for my 2013 Honda Accord V6… It’s a known issue with the 2013-2017 Accord V6 redesigned starter (starter part number 31200-5G0-A02). Honda's fix (TSB 16-002) is yet another redesigned starter (redesign of the redesigned starter part number 31200-5G0-A04 ), plus a one time only one hole rotation of the flywheel. In the TSB 16-002 it states: If replacing the starter with the redesigned starter and rotating the flywheel doesn't work, then the next course of action is to replace the torque converter (which is not cheap and who knows if it’s a good fix…REALLY). I had the starter and engine battery replaced before on this car at a Honda dealership to correct the problem. Needless to say, it did not correct the screeching noises upon pushing the start engine button. The safety of the driver and the occupants will be in peril when being stuck in hazardous weather (storms, heat alert indexes, snow, freezing weather) without the ability to start the car. This is a design flaw that Honda clearly knows about with no solution in sight. I already had this repaired before at a Honda dealership, but it never corrected the problem. Honda needs to initiate a recall since it knows it’s a massive problem by issuing a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 16-002).

ABS Contol Module Failure. Error code 81-19. Ther is a major defect with the modules failing from 2013 through 2017 Hondas. There are so many failing that there are no parts in the market and the part cost around $1600. this is a safety concern as abs breaks can lock up.

ABS Control Module failure. This is a safety issue because it causes the anti-lock brakes and traction control to not work. Cost of repair $2,537.95 at Honda dealership. Representative seen the lit up dashboard and knew exactly what the issue was before technician even diagnosed it. Told me that the chip to fix it has been out of stock for well over a year.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that there was a vibrating rumbling sound while starting the vehicle. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The contact related the failure to NHTSA ID Number: 10088442 (Electrical System) however, the vehicle was not included. The vehicle had not been taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to urgently bring to your attention a pervasive issue with the starter in Honda Accord 2013 models equipped with a push-start system. The problem began in January 2023, leading to the replacement of the car battery, brakes, and tire sensors. Despite these efforts, the issue persisted, prompting the replacement of the starter in December 2023. However, within two weeks, the newly replaced starter failed again. The problem recurred on January 09, 2024, despite cumulative repairs exceeding $3000. I have found numerous online complaints from other Honda Accord 2013 owners, indicating a widespread problem that requires immediate investigation to ensure the safety of vehicle owners. If additional information or clarification is required, please do not hesitate to contact me at [XXX] Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have had car serviced faithfully since ownership in 2013. Last visit to dealer I was informed that the VSA modulator control unit has malfunctioned. It’s very concerning that there has not been a recall on this since it impacts brakes, tires, steering. I am requesting a replacement of this modulator at no charge.

Lost ability to steer vehicle. It was impossible to steer the car. The car was running on and in one instance moving at low sped in my own driveway. There have been 3 instances when this happens. The problem went away after turning the car off and restarting the vehicle. 2) the starter won’t start on occasion as it takes multiple attempts to start vehicle. 3) I had to replace the starter and also a sensor forward collision sensor so the entire dashboard display for every light would turn off. Literally, every light on the dashboard turns on, even for low tire pressure. The bidders concern from operation perspective is the steering. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is a critical and serious defect with this make and model of the 2013 Honda Accord. I looked online and there are literally thousands of reports of the same issue. There are complaints of uncontrollable steering too. One gentleman did a YouTube video demonstrating what’s happening. I will do the same for the steering in this vehicle the next time it happens. Why hasn’t the NHTSA issued a mandatory recall and forced Honda to make this recall happen now. I hope this isn’t a political decision because I know lives are in serious jeopardy with this loss of ability to steer the vehicle with no warning. Lastly, I’ve bought and owned 5 Honda in my lifetime: 3 Honda Accords, 1 Odyssey and 1 Pilot and I’ve never needs to file a complaint in the past as they’ve always been a reliable, safe vehicle. I’m extremely concerned about this problem and I urge NHTSA and Honda to do the right thing and issue an immediate recall to remedy this issue. You are now aware of this issue in a formal complaint and it appears that there are already several thousand complaints based on what’s online. Please take action.

The passenger side window stop and starts and when it gets to full close, it opens back up on its own a few inches. For another Honda Accord that I own if the same year, the passenger window does not go up/down from the drivers side.

Info Entertainment System. It was going on and off I took it to Honda and the price was well over $1,200. I have taken my car for maintenance only to Honda and think that at 120,000 miles after I replaced the starter a month before that this car should be working in full condition. I am a senior and now the radio Bluetooth cameras are no longer available. Called Honda customer service to ask for help I know 2013 was the first year they used this system because I have and XL Accord. when I called the Rep she said honda had a Goodwill program and sure they could help me ,then the second girl called and customer service and said please send me your car dealers mechanic price and Diagnostics. I scan them in and sent it to her Next day the third person in customer service called and said oh I'm sorry you are over the 90,000 warranty. But I told her customer service lady number One never said anything about the Goodwill program being s 90,000 mile warrenty. A bulony story. No help either from the email I sent to a Mr Corbin VP vomplaunts. now I have to drive around and as a senior I would like to have my cameras working anda radio. Bluetooth . I have no working camera and all the maintenance I have done on the car I am really upset I do not have any of it and I cannot go very far for example when a family member got very sick I could not travel in dark to that area because the car is not helpful without that connection.. Yes I can use the GPS on my phone but it is ridiculous that now that I have paid this car off that at 120,000 miles I'm going to have to get rid of it and I just can't afford a new one. They should fix it for less than $1,300. As a senior I really need the cameras working and I've never heard of any car without a radio. I know now that the younger cars also have the info system problem on recall. Mine should also be on that recall list. Can you help? I feel they left me rude, without even a sorry or suggestion

intermittent warning signal lights on on all three components: ABS, power steering, TPMS. It is being shown on the internet and youtube that the ABS module has faulty soldering inside that connections break easily. We need honda to recall this as this is a known problem if you search around on the internet.

I get a light that comes on my dash board that says “Failed FCW System”.. most of the time it is on. Rarely it will go off the screen. Sometimes my car will randomly beep to signal that something is infront of me when there is nothing infront of me, which is what I believe to be an issue with the FCW system. This is startling and distracting to me while driving, as it is supposed to signal and keep me safe from potentially hitting objects infront of me, but it has proven itself unreliable for what its purpose is. Also with the “Failed FCW System” message on the dash, it has my other lights signaled such as the air pressure light for my tires as well as the oil light so I never know when my tires actually need air, etc…

The ABS Module has failed on my 2013 Honda Accord LX. The ABS system may not function properly in reducing braking distances and could cause the car to slide in wet or slippery conditions increasing the chances of a collision or loss of vehicular control while driving. The car was taken to a Honda Specialist and upon inspection, the vehicle was diagnosed to have a faulty ABS module. The quoted repair was in excess of $2000 USD. The ABS, Power Steering, TPMS Check Tire, Traction Control warning lights are all ON indicating an issue with aforementioned faulty ABS Module. The warning lights all appeared simultaneously in February, 2023. Diagnostics were run and all error codes indicated a faulty ABS (VCS) module

My vehicle was inspected at a Honda Dealership in the state of CO & it all appears the VSA Modulator unit have an internal failure & it’s not functioning properly. Due to this effective issue the traction control would not be able to operate appropriately & it can cause an accident & endanger my life in traffic & other people’s life. Unfortunately, the VSA Modulator unit is “Nationally” out of stock & unable to find the VSA Modulator unit.

The ABS Module seems to fail on all 2013 Honda Accords and many other year models as well. This causes the antilock break system to not work properly, potentially causing a very serious accident. The quoted replacement from a Honda dealer is over $2k which is very cost prohibitive for many people. I'm sure you have received many complaints on this and if you don't believe the severity of this please look on any online car repair forum and you can see the countless drivers with this issue. Honda needs to pay for this not stick unsuspecting customers with a very expensive repair.

ABS solenoid valve malfunction. VSA solenoid malfunction

My EPS light came on and could not steer the car. It would not turn either left or right. I had car towed to garage who told me power steering rack. I called Honda Dealership who told me I had o have it towed to them. I had towed to them and they told me EPS control unit. The only warning was the eps light. Why is my car not part of 15-550 or 15-056. There has been numerous issues with this year make and model when will it be resolved now that I’m having to pay $1300 and over $300 for towing

The ABS modulator failed causing all ABS, brake, seat belt and steering lights to go on.

I got off work and went to car and open the door and it was smoke everywhere the electricity problem occurred between the radio dash and the middle car components everything is burned and melted through in the middle and I have sent in pictures to the car max claims to investigate.

The ABS Module Failure All of the dashboard light are on due the a Faulty ABS Module, YouTube and other Honda forums reported the same problems. The ABS Module is poorly designed The connectors are very thin and they break apart with the vehicle vibration, the Abs dashboard light, Steering control dashboard light, Traction control dashboard light,TPMS dashboard light all are in the ABS Module control unit. Honda need to Issue a Recall for the abs Module failing after 35k miles of its vehicles its a safety issue and it should be dressed. Thank You

My dashboard is lit up like a christmas tree. Went to dealer who found the ABS control module went out. The nation is out of this part as it is a common problem. There are several articles on the web that discuss how these have gone out and there is no where to buy the part and is not recalled yet. ABS system will not engage without this which is extremely unsafe. Apparently this is effecting 2013-2107 accords.

ABS, BRAKE, TCS and PSC lights illuminated indicative of VSC Modulator failure at 122,000 miles. Dealer stated part needs replacement. Too many issues on this issue to not be addressed by Honda.

All dash lights come on. Fcw system failure. Abs/vsa module failed is what me and a lot of other people with the same car, have the same issues. Abs brake module to replace is $1100 and on backorder and alot of people can't drive there cars, some have had issues that almost caused accidents, mine seems to run fine for now, just started happening. Honda needs to do something about this, way to many people have this problem and Honda should be way more reliable and helpful for this common failure.

Abs module is a common issue on these vehicles I think it’s ridiculous that owners have to come out of pocket 2600$ for a part that should be recalled ! The part is on back order and has been for almost a year now and it’s impossible to get it anywhere else . Please do something about this as I love Honda but have never delt with something like this before . I would hate to have to switch to a different car at another company !

About six months ago the starter began to malfunction. It has malfunctioned intermittently ever since. A week ago my wife who drives this car told me the car fails to start more often as she goes to pick up our grandchildren and she is afraid it will simply quit working at all. I am fearing the same thing. She says it makes a clicking or grinding noise and the the dash board lights all come on. After several tries it has started, but I am afraid it will leave them stranded in an unsafe situation. These problems with the 2013-2017 Honda Accords are well know and documented. These cars should be recalled to address this issue. It's a crime that they haven't been. In many cases persons have spent a great deal of money without a solution. O'Daniel Honda in Omaha gave me a price of $818. to replace the starter motor. Yet for some people the problem is ongoing even after replacing the starter motor! Why hasn't a recall been issued?

Started vehicle and power steering was not functioning. Steering light illuminated on dashboard. Car was towed to dealership who started they secured the connection and the problem would not happen again. Two days later exact same issue occurred, no power steering and extremely difficult to steer.

Drivers side front door and passenger rear door lock actuator failed to lock and unlock doors. No warning lamps. Could not access door and could not open doors from inside. 2013 Accord Sport.

My car has had problems turning on. The alternator and battery had been changed twice in the past 4 years. I’ve recently changed the battery and alternator and my car still has that problem of turning on my mecanic said it could be the starter now. So battery, alternator and starter problems.

Started noticing problem with steering a few weeks ago. Trying to turn left is very loose and oversteers so much that it almost takes me to a U-turn. Even driving straight, I often notice the car being pulled to the left like it's trying to make a turn on its own. Turning right seems more "normal" but also more difficult that I have to use more force to complete the turn. When I took my car in for state-mandated annual inspection, the inspector immediately notified me something is wrong with the steering rack and wouldn't pass inspection, and I should take the car to a mechanic. Manual examination of the car revealed no issues with physical parts, and alignment check also had no issues. So I had another appointment for the electrical system, which diagnosed that the EPS (electrical power steering) sensor is failing, giving inaccurate readings, pulling too much to left and "skipping" on right. They informed me this was a known issue with all 2013/2014 Honda Accords, and I have to spend $3000+ to replace the entire steering rack. Upon further research, I became aware that there have been thousands of complaints filed with NHTSA regarding the same issue, and there is a service bulletin 15-056 extending the EPS sensor warranty to 13 years. So I took my car to a Honda dealer. The technician and the service advisor both recognized the exact same symptoms as described by bulletin 15-056 and recommended the same $3000+ repair to replace the steering rack. However, they said this will NOT be covered by the extended warranty due to lack of DTC codes. She suggested maybe driving around more until I get a code, which according to the technician, only happens upon a catastrophic failure of the torque sensor. I contacted American Honda, and my request for coverage was out-right rejected. Only 41k miles on the car and had been so scared driving since issue started. Outrageous to me they want me to drive dangerously until sensor COMPLETELY fails when it's a known issue for years.

2013 Honda Accord Deadly Electronic Power Steering Failure. Once the slightest input is received from the operator to move the wheel left, the wheel starts turning on its own in that direction and does not return to center. In some cases, the turn can be abrupt causing the vehicle to steer sharply into oncoming traffic or out of its lane. The problem is so bad that I had to have the fuse for the power steering pulled in order to avoid collisions, especially when my teenage son is operating the vehicle. The vehicle was purchased used with about 111, 000 miles on it and the steering worked for about 30 days. After that the above noted problem occurred without remedy. I made and posted a video that illustrates the problem. Please use the link below to see exactly what is happening. https://youtu.be/SNiLWlmFbm8

No warning lights displayed on dashboard. Steering wheel began turning right by itself sitting in the driveway in park . I turned it back to the straight position only to have it turn again one half or more rotation. Took it to a parking lot ( flat area) it went in a circle by itself. I could stop it with some effort. While driving straight it kept pulling me right hard, not like a crowned road would do! The vehicle was bought new and only has 76,000 miles.

The electronic push start button doesn't work all the time. On most occasions, I have to press the push button 10-15 times before it engages. Have read many complaints online regarding the same issue, especially for 2013 models.

The electric power steering rack is binding up and making the car veer towards the right. It is not an alignment issue was check by Honda dealership. It’s a EPS , need replacement to correct. It’s a Honda Accord 2013 and I’m seeing it’s under review due to lots of complaints . The part to fix this issue is also 8-12 months to get . I need my car, and hoping this issue is recalled soon!

Since I bought this new accord, I replaced starter 3 times and I only have 73000 miles on it. The third time 4 lights came on. Honda company should recall these issues. No accidents

My car just started clicking when trying to crank it. Had it tested everything is good but continues to click multiple times before turning over

Their is an issue when trying to start the vehicle. When the ignition button is pressed, the engine does not start. Instead, their is a grinding and whirring sound. I believe this is coming from the starter. It takes 3-4 attempts to start the car. Their are numerous complaints on many forums about this issue.

The vehicle randomly won't start. Then after a few minutes with no intervention will start normally. The battery is new and fully charged. Mileage: 83k.

Eletric power steering was bad making it impossible to drive. Had it replaced at auto shop for 2 091 dllars. Honda dealer diagnosed it as power steering rack, independent auto shop said same, transmission warning light came on but was cleared by independent auto shop.

VSA modulator seems to be a defective part in many Hondas and Honda is not doing anything about it. It is a safety issue the should be taken care by Honda. My car has only 100K miles and is needing this repair that is going to cost me over $2000! Not fair for a consumer.

Car is just randoming not starting, having to get it jumped to start it & pistons are knocking!

Steering wheel spins to the left, I had it evaluated and it was a electrical problem with the steering wheel.

As i was driving i felt my steering wheel jerk violently to the right with no warning, as i continued to drive my steering wheel than jerked towards the right again on its own before locking up. I was not able to turn my wheel which was not only extremely dangerous but also very scary. I was luckily passing by a Honda dealership and they confirmed to me that my electric power steering was the reason behind the incident that occured. What is disturbing is that the day before i went to priority honda in chesapeake virginia and they changed my oil and supposedly checked the fluids etc on my car. They provided me with a report that stated my brake fluid was good. The other honda told me i had no brake fluid……….. they marked my power steering fluid as good… i have no power steering. I am considering my options right now and have not ruled out legal action. This was a very scary situation. The icing on top is the fact they spelled my name incorrectly as well as the wrong address…

My vehicle trunk randomly unlatches and opens. The trunk does both while driving and when parked. The key fob button to open the trunk is not pressed or in range during these incidents. This is a safety concern in that if can block my rearward view. It is also an inconvenience since it can lead to theft of contents and the car.

Bought the car in 2013, and around 2015 it started having intermittent problems starting the car. After about 5-6 tries it would start normally and everything would be fine for couple of months. This went on all the way up to this year 2022. At least 6 different times of having my car inspected for this, they could not determine a cause. Come today, it won't start again, and after numerous times it won't start at all. After reading through many numerous owners having the same issues on Accord forums, Reddit and YouTube, the obvious cause is the starter is prone to failure. I am now trying to figure out a way to have my car towed to the dealer and dreading the cost of replacement for the starter including labor costs (when I've done everything pro-active to try to find the cause of this issue). I am sure I am not covered under any equipment warranty for this (but I sure was when I first reported this to them from 2015-2022.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated while starting the vehicle there was a grinding sound coming from the engine. The vehicle would not start immediately. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed the failure with the starter switch. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

When pulling into my driveway, the dash lights suddenly all turned on, and the engine started racing causing the car to crash into my house.

Car has intermittent problem starting the engine, will not start. The starter, battery, key fob battery have been replaced.

Accord does not start frequently. Lights and electrical turn on, but does not turn on. Battery, alternator, key battery and starter were replaced with the same problem. After about 10 minutes or so after trying the vehicle will start. It has left me stranded many times. Honda will not assume responsibility. After reading blogs many owners with 2013 and 2014 Accords experience same problem with no known fixes.

VSA, brake, ABS, EPS, tire pressure light always on and won’t go away! I thought there would be enough information about this in the web. There is but, not actual solution. You would have to change out so much and still the lights would come back. Recently, my VSA light coming on and off have made my brakes and something else grind whenever i press on the brakes. To a point where I would need to pull over and hold vSA off button to not have brake grind when pressing on them. There should be enough content to be able to realized that this is a cause and concern for Honda vehicles.

At 73,000 miles was not able to use push start to start vehicle. It would take several tries and was stranded where we were. It progressively got worse and finally we could not start vehicle. Since they have no other way to start this vehicle. Tried to take to Miller Honda Winchester they were rude charged over $800 just to look at. Couldn’t get us in for a while. So took to another repair garage in Winchester since we needed vehicle.

The ABS Module has failed on this car. Upon a lot of research, I have found that a lot of people are stating they have had this same issue with their honda accords within a few years before and after. This is a $1700 fix from Honda that most people are not going to be able to afford and a lot of people are having problems with..... the part is also on a nationwide backorder which to me seems like they have surely had to replace a lot of them..... I believe that this should be investigated for a recall. I spoke with someone at Honda and they also agreed that this should be looked at for a recall. This could be very dangerous to have failing ABS systems on vehicles. Research on forums where people discuss this will show that this is a common problem and a recall should be considered.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. The failure occurred intermittently at first; however, the failure was occurring more often. The contact stated that the failure was related to Manufacturer Communication Number: A16-002 (Electrical System). The contact had not taken the vehicle to be diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.

The vehicle has an issue with the charging system which has persisted for at least 1year. The vehicle is unsafe to drive because once the battery has low charge, power steering fails and ultimately the car dies/cuts off (which has happened to me while on a public road at least twice). The vehicle has been checked out by my mechanic numerous times but the issue has never been remedied. The alternator (replaced twice), electronic load detector, battery sensor and battery sensor connector have all been replaced. Wiring has also been inspected but there were no problems to report. A check charge system warning stays on, and sometimes the battery light illuminates. I have seen countless complaints about the same issue regarding the 9th generation honda accord online but the dealer does not acknowledge the issue exists in many of these particular model.

Failure of keyless remote system - Honda Service Bulletin 13-038 System will not respond to keyless remotes and eventually will disable car ignition system. This is a safety for several reasons: 1. The doors can only be opened using the key which is embedded in the keyfob. In case of emergency or for people with disabilities, this is a huge problem. 2. The trunk cannot be accessed unless the door is opened and the trunk released manually inside. There is no key lock to access the trunk from outside the vehicle. 3. The panic button will not function on the keyfob. 4. The car will not start unless the keyfob is placed next to the driver's dash. Eventually, the car will not start at all and the occupants will be stranded. This is a huge issue. The vehicle has been inspected by a Honda dealer and a ticket opened with Honda. Honda now states that they will not help with repairs as the vehicle is past warranty.

The car will intermittently lose power steering all of the sudden and jerk the car to the right. On other occasions the car will automatically steering right at a stand still. It is believed to be either electrical or mechanical but involving the EPS and rack and pinion. The vehicle was inspected by a certified Honda technician. My personal safety and safety of others that have entered my car have been at risk any time I am in this vehicle. On most occasions the EPS light would fail to come on when this occured. It may be on one out of every ten times the issues occured. The code that occurs is a visa system malfunction.

Battery sensor. Recall fixed it once. Same issue reoccurred on 7/20/21 and it is melting the fuse box making it unsafe to drive

The contact's daughter owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated her daughter was attempting to start the vehicle however, it was approximately five minutes before the vehicle started. The contact stated her daughter was not aware if there were any warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

During the winter i started having issues with my car the bad battery sensor drained my battery had to buy a new one. Then i find out from Honda that i have a recall on that battery sensor still was having issues with the car going on. Finally got the battery sensor changed and now the starter is not working. This sensor is becoming costly for me first a battery and now a starter. This is ridiculous that i have to keep dishing out money for problems with my car that has to due with a faulty sensor that was recalled.

when attempting to start car , you can hear grinding noise, car fails to start , have to attempt several times to have the car to start, the procces to start car gets worse by every attempt

ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD 2.4L SEDAN WOULD NOT START. THE FIRST TIME AAA CHANGED THE BATTERY. THE NEXT TIME AAA DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY WAS FINE BUT THE CAR REACTED WITH A FAST CLICKING SOUND. PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK AND THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. THE THIRD TIME WE LEFT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THEN IT STARTED. EACH TIME THE CAR WAS LEFT IN THE ON POSITION, IN ONE CASE CHARGING A CELLPHONE, IN ANOTHER CASE LISTENING TO THE RADIO. IN THE PAST I HAVE NOTICED THE SMART ENTRY SYSTEM LIGHT COME ON AND OFF BUT WAS TOLD IN ONE CASE (BY A HONDA SERVICE REP!) THAT THEY COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM AND NOI CODE WAS REGISTERED. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON BUT IT IS INTERMITTENT. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE COULD BE INTERFERENCE FROM MY OTHER CAR'S REMOTE KEY OR MY CELL PHONE SO I HAVE BEEN MOVING THOSE TO THE BACK OF THE ACCORD. I HAVE ATTACHED SCREEN SHOTS FROM THE WARNING LIGHT AND TWO WEBSITES/BLOGS WITH MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT.

MY CAR IS FACING NO STARTING ISSUES SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE DONE EVERY SINGLE MAINTAINANCE ON TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS A BULLETIN 19-034 AND NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENED IN A SMALL PARK AND I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOW. THERE IS ALWAYS SOME STARTING ISSUES OF MY HONDA ACCORD SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES EVERY YEAR. SOMETIMES THE DEALER ASK ME TO CHANGE BATTERY AND SOMETIMES THE DEALER AKSED ME TO CHANGE ALL KINDS OF FLUIDS. I HAVE CHANGED EVERY SINGLE FLUIDS, PCV VALVE, BRAKE PADS AND ROLLTERS IN THE CAR ALMOST YEARLY AND THE NO START ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. I FEEL IT TAKES ME TOO MUCH TIME AND COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR IS TOO MUCH. ALSO, IF THE TURNOFF HAPPEND ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM HESITATE TO TAKE MY KIDS IN THE CAR SINCE THE PROBLEM. VERY ANNOYING. ALSO, THE SOFTWARE PROBLEM SHOULD BE SOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER FREE BUT THEY ARE CHARGING ME EVERY SINGLE TIME.

LAST TIME WAS HAPPENED IN A PARK WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS. FORTUNATELY, MY SPEED WAS ONLY 20 MPH AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND CANNOT START. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I THINK THE BATTERY OF ACCORD HAS SOME PROBLEMS AS I ALWAYS CHANGE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY FROM THE DEALER. MY OTHER CARS ONLY NEED TO CHANGE BATTERY AFTER 4 TO 5 YEARS OF USE BUT MY ACCORD NEED TO CHANGE A NEW BATTERY EVERY YEAR. THERE MUST BE SOME ISSUES OF THE CAR IT SELF. IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD BE REALLY DANGEROUS.

AFTER MY 100,000 MAINTENANCE IN SEPTEMBER 2020, MY HONDA ACCORD BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER. WHEN I START THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY, IT STARTS. AFTER PARKING THE CAR AFTER I HAVE GONE SOME PLACE, THE CAR WILL NOT START. THEN, I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING THE ELECTRICAL START BUTTON UNTIL THE CAR STARTS. SO FAR, AT TIMES, IT TAKES ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES TO RE-START THE CAR. I REPORTED THE SITUATION TO HONDA USA ON 02/01/2021 AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE SO THEY CANNOT HELP ME. HOWEVER, HONDA USA DID START A CASE FOR ME. MY WIFE AND I DO NOT WANT TO GET STRANDED AFTER DRIVING SOME PLACE. AFTER REVIEWING THE INTERNET, THE ELECTRICAL STARTING SYSTEM IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD. HONDA USA SAYS YOU CANNOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET. SEE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM

Mileage: 83,000

I LOST MY POWER STEERING AT 65MPH DRIVING TO THE COAST ON HIGHWAY 26 IN OREGON. I NEARLY CRASHED MY CAR ON THE CURVE WHEN MY WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES. I HAD TO YANK THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO STAY ON THE ROAD. I WAS TERRORIST! I SLOWED MY CAN TO 50MPH THE REST OF THE 45 MILES TO MY BEACH HOUSE IN SEASIDE OREGON. THE STEERING CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND I HAS HAPPY TO HAVE THE TRAFFIC SLOW DOWN 20 MILES OUT OF SEASIDE TO BUMPER TO BUMPER. I BARELY GOT THE WHEEL TO TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT OUR SEASIDE, OREGON HOME. I STARTED MY 'RESEARCH' TO SEE IF A RECALL HAD BEEN MADE ON MY CAR FOR POWER STEERING BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE DIED HITTING THE WALL OF DIRT AND TREES LEAVING THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! I FOUND AN ARTICLE FROM 2014 THAT 374,000 PEOPLE HAD COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. AND THAT YOU WERE INVESTIGATING BACK IN 2014! MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 42,000 MILES ON IT AND THAT WAS THE TIME OF THEM GOING OUT ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE. CARS EFFECTED WERE 2013-2017 HONDA ACCORDS EX. MINE IS THAT AND A V6. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE CRASHED & DIED WITH THIS FAULTY PART? DO YOU HAVE RECORD OF IT? I WANT THIS ELECTRIAL POWER STEERING PART RECALLED!! YOU HAVE FAILED WITH NOT RECALLING IT BACK IN 2014!! I AM HOLDING "YOU" ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS HAPPENING TO ME!! I WANT YOU TO PAY FOR MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND MY RENTAL CAR! I NEED YOU TO RESPOND TO ME [XXX] [XXX] IS MY CELL. YOU ARE LUCKY I DIDN'T CRASH!! MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY IN SEASIDE, OREGON AND I NEED IT TOWED TO BEAVERTON, OREGON TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE POSTED THE 2014 ARTICLE OF YOU NOT RECALLING THIS!

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED SOMETIMES THE PUSH START WOULD STALL OR SOUND LIKE IT WAS FAILING. ALSO MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO MY KEY FOB. ALL OTHER DOORS RESPOND TO IT EXCEPT THE DRIVER DOOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND STILL THE ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE ACTUAL KEY OUT OF THE FOB AND INSERTING IT INTO THE CAR DOOR TO UNLOCK MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. NOW THE AC HAS BEGAN TO STOP AND START. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE FAN MOTOR IS KICKING ON AND OFF. AND MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS NOT SLIDING BACK PROPERLY. IT WILL BEGAN TO GLIDE THEN STOP. THEN I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING AND IT'LL GLIDE BACK A LITTLE AND THEN STOP AGAIN. OVERALL I THINK THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE OR SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH IT. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALL SENT OUT JUNE 29, 2017.

INTERMITTENT IGNITION FAILURE. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY IN COLDER WEATHER, BUT I HAVE HAD ISSUES ALL YEAR LONG. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, YOU HEAR A LOUD STATIC NOISE WITH NO ENGAGEMENT OF THE ENGINE. I'VE HAD TO ABANDON MY CAR ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS DUE TO THIS FAILURE. HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND OFTEN RESULTS IN REPLACING THE STARTER. I DON'T HAVE A WRITTEN QUOTE, BUT HE VERBALLY ESTIMATED THE COST TO BE AROUND $1,000.

THE SMART ENTRY KEY WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD RANDOMLY GOES ON AND OFF. I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY IN KEY FOB WITH SAME RESULT. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE AT SOME POINT VEHICLE MAY NOT START. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY AT TIMES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

STARTER PROBLEMS: CHANGED BATTERY TWICE WITHIN 40K MILEAGE (ODOMETER READING) THE LAST TIME THEY CHANGED BATTERY IT WAS BY HONDA SAID MY BATTERY IS NOT GOOD AND REASON BECAUSE SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRICAL WITHDRAWING POWER AND KILLING THE BATTERY AND AFTER 4 DAYS AT HONDA DEALER AND CHARGED ME OVER $600 THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM (THEY SAID)...IN FACT THEY SAID WE THINK IN THE RADIO MAYBE! WELL AFTER 6 MONTHS I FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WHAT THEY SAY BUT IN THE STARTER! THE STARTER CAUSE THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT FINALLY THE STARTER WENT DEAD! I OPEN THE STARTER MYSELF AND ITS DEFINITELY THE STARTER CAUSING THIS AND I THOUGHT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. HONDA MUST KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SURE! THESE CONDITION IT CAUSED WHEN ITS STATIONARY. BUT SO MUCH PAIN. YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND THEN YOU PARK AND THEN WHEN START NOTHING, PAINFUL EXPERIENCES. IT HAPPENED IN MAY OCCASIONS, SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM DEALER AND UNTIL DECEMBER 8 THAT IS WHEN I OPEN THE STARTER AND SAW THIS TO FOR SURE ITS THE STARTER PROBLEM THAT CAUSE BATTERY TO DIE EARLY AND HONDA COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AT ALL UNTIL FINALLY THE STARTER WEN DEAD. I AM AN ENGINEER AND CONFIDENT ITS FROM THE STARTER. I LEAVE THE MATTER TO YOU TO CHECK AND DECIDED. THANKS

OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR 13 WEEKS AND TOLD US THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STARTING ISSUES AND THEN TOLD US A FEW DAYS LATER THEY DIDNT PUSH THE BUTTON IN LONG ENOUGH SO IT WAS THERE MECHANICS FAULT AND THEN TELL US THEY FIND A DRAW ON THE BATTERY AND A FEW DAYS LATER TELLS US THERE MECHANIC USED A FAULTY METER AND THEN THEY BLAME IT ON OUR INTERNET, SMART TVS, GARAGE DOOR OPENER AND WIFI. I AM SO TIRED OF ALL THE EXCUSES AND NEED A CAR THAT'S NOT GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED AND THAT I CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR OUT OF TOWN RIGHT NOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE. I DO HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE HAD TO COME TO MY RESCUE TO JUMP START MY CAR OR WE HAVE HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

SOMETIMES MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD CAR WON'T START IMMEDIATELY. IT WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE AFTER THE FIRST FEW TRIES. IT A STARTER ISSUE. IT NOT THE BATTERY I PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY AND I I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED NEW A 2013 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYL IN AUGUST 2013 WHICH HAD THE BATTERY SENSOR REPLACED AT 26,010 MILES IN OCTOBER 2017. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I STARTED EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM. WHEN I TURN THE KEY, THE DASH LIGHTS TURN ON AS NORMAL, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER OR EVEN CRANK. WHILE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND IT CAN TAKE BETWEEN 2-6 TRIES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTS AT HOME OR ANYWHERE I TRAVELED. AAA JUMPED ME ONCE TOO. DEALER SAID TO SWITCH KEYS AS IT MAY BE THE IMMOBILIZER SENSOR IN MY KEY. THEN DECEMBER 2018 AT 32,935 MILES, DEALER RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE BATTERY WHICH I DID, BUT ISSUE CONTINUED, JULY 2019 AT 36,555 MILES, DEALER PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS STATING THE STARTER WAS BAD BUT THERE WASN'T A RECALL AND IT'S MORE THAN 36 MONTHS SO OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER DOES NOT APPLY THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTICS AGAINST THE REPAIR. TOTAL COST FOR DIAGNOSTICS, STARTER AND TAX WAS $889.47. PLUS THE DEALER SOLD ME A REFURBISHED STARTER WITH A 3 YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY STATING A NEW STARTER ONLY CARRIES A 12 MONTH WARRANTY. ALMOST $1K IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR ONE REPAIR FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN FOR A CAR WITH 36K MILES. APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE SO HONDA MOTOR CO SHOULD RECALL THE STARTER AND PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT TO THOSE WHO HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED TO AVOID BEING STRANDED.

I THINK THIS MIGHT BE MY 3RD COMPLAINT, I LOVE HONDA AND HAVE HAD HONDA CARS FOR YEARS, BUT THIS HAS REALLY TESTED MY PATIENCE. FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE GONE THROUGH 3 STARTERS AND 2 ALTERNATORS, EVERY TIME I CONTACT HONDA THEY TELL ME TO DROP THE CAR OFF SO THEY CAN TEST IT, I PAY THEM $130 SO THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW. MY PROBLEM IS THAT STARTER ISSUE IS VERY COMMON, AND THERE IS NO LONG TERM FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. SO THE ISSUE IS BACK, I END UP GETTING STRANDED IN PLACES FOR HOURS AT A TIME, AND SOMETIMES EVEN END UP BEING LATE TO WORK, DUE TO MY STARTER SPINNING AWAY UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO CATCH EVENTUALLY. I TOOK IT TO GET APPRAISED THE OTHER DAY, AND IT WOULDN'T START OFCOURSE, THE DEALER REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE OFCOURSE, BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO SELL A LEMON. AT THIS POINT, I AM EITHER LOOKING FOR HONDA TO BUY MY CAR OFF ME, REPLACE IT, OR COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX. IF YOU GO ON YOUTUBE AND TYPE IN HONDA STARTER ISSUE YOU WILL FIND PLENTY OF VIDEOS, AND I ALSO HAVE RECIEPTS FOR ALL THE TRIPS MY CAR TOOK TO THE DEALER. I AM NOT GOING TO INSTALL A 4TH STARTER, THAT IS THAT REDICULOUSE, I REFUSE TO GO TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THEM TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW.

IN EARLY 2019, AFTER MY HONDA DEALER REPLACED MY VEHICLE'S WATER PUMP, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START FEATURE ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD. SOMETIMES, MY CAR STARTS RIGHT AWAY. BUT MORE OFTEN, IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE MY CAR WILL START USING THE PUSH BUTTON START FEATURE. WHEN REPEATED ATTEMPTS ARE NECESSARY TO START MY CAR, I HEAR A 'CLICKING' TYPE NOISE WHEN I PRESS THE START BUTTON, BUT MY CAR DOES NOT TURN OVER. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS PUSHING THE 'START' BUTTON, MY CAR EVENTUALLY STARTS (SOMETIMES AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND A FEW ATTEMPTS, SOMETIMES AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS AND TWO OR THREE MINUTES). THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY, WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND WARM. I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM UNTIL HONDA REPLACED THE WATER PUMP ON MY CAR EARLIER THIS YEAR. BASED ON OTHER WEB POSTS, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START FEATURE IN 2013 HONDA ACCORDS. ONCE MY CAR STARTS, IT RUNS WELL. AT THIS PRESENT TIME, I HAVE NO OTHER MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE PUSH BUTTON START FEATURE. HOWEVER, MY CAR'S FAILURE TO START IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN ITSELF IF A CAR FAILS TO START IN A SITUATION WHERE A QUICK GET AWAY IS NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FLOOD, WILD FIRE, OR OTHER NATURAL OR OTHER DISASTER THAT MAY REQUIRE THAT MY CAR START WITHOUT DELAY).

EVEN AFTER THE IGNITION IS OFF, THE POWER IS STILL ON. ON JUNE 27, 2019, I HAD TO PAY $773.84 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 51,562 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED BEFORE 50,000 MILES BUT HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY. OVER THE MONTHS, THE PROBLEM GREW WORSE. NOW THE CAR MAY NOT START IN THE EVENING BUT STARTS IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT MORNING. GETTING STRANDED IS A DEFINITE RISK. THE DANVILLE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN VIRGINIA SAID THEY KEEP THE STARTERS IN STOCK BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING A LOT OF THEM. THERE ARE ALSO DISCUSSIONS ON-LINE ABOUT THE PROBLEM - COMMUNITY TALK. THEREFORE, HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE STARTERS FREE OF CHARGE.

IN 2018 MY BATTERY WENT DEAD AND THE LINES WERE CORRODED. BATTERY WAS REPLACED. 3 MONTHS AGO MY CAR STARTED TO NOT START RANDOMLY. ALL LIGHTS ON DASH LIT UP, STARTER MAKING NOISE AS IF IT IS STARTING, CAR DOESN'T START. THIS WAS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK BUT IS NOW UP TO TEN TIMES A WEEK. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE WHERE OTHERS REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM, SAID PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START (TRUE) AND THAT HONDAS WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH CONNECTION TO BATTERIES. SAID STEP ONE WAS TO CHANGE OUT SENSOR UNTIL PART BECAME AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND TO CONTACT RECALL WITH VIN NUMBER TO GET VEHICLE FIXED. I HAD A RECALL ON A SENSOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND TOOK CAR IN FOR SAME AND HAD WORK DONE--NOT SURE IF THIS IS SAME PROBLEM OR NOT, BUT AS I WAS ABLE TO LOOK THE EXACT PROBLEM UP ONLINE WITH EXPLANATION AND SOLUTION HOW TO CIRCUMVENT PROBLEM I EXPECTED TO SEE A RECALL ABOUT THIS. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT MY NEXT STEP IS. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

THE CAR IS ALSO IS PART OF AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR. WE RECEIVED 2 NOTICES (AUGUST 2017/FEB 2019) AND I WAS TOLD EACH TIME THAT THE CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY ALONG WITH OPENED UP A CASE WITH HONDA. I ALSO FILED A CONSUMER COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA FOR A DEFECTIVE CAR. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME IT CAUGHT ON FIRE BUT THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS AS IT DESTROYED THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR.

CAR NOT STARTING. HAVING TO JUMPSTART PERIODICALLY. REPLACED BATTERY EVEN THOUGH BATTERY REGISTERED GOOD. REALIZING IT'S IN THE ELECTRIC START SWITCH. I BUILT THESE CARS, I'M TROUBLESHOOTING NOW. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY EXACT ISSUE. BOUGHT IT NEW, HIGHWAY MILES BETWEEN OH AND FL. 69K. SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. ALWAYS SERVICED AND MAINTAINED. I DON'T FEEL THIS SHOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET. FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED IT, WAS OUT WITH FRIENDS, PAID FOR A TAXI TO GET HOME, JUMPSTARTED NEXT DAY TO GET IT HOME. THE SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABLE TO JUMPSTART IT HERE. IT'S IN THE ELECTRIC START. PURCHASED BATTERY 3/9/19, STILL HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH IT TURNING OVER. $164. FOR A NEW BATTERY. WHICH I KNEW IT WASN'T BATTERY, FIANC HAD IT REPLACED WORRYING ABOUT ME BEING STRANDED. I CAN SEE THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR ME. I FIRST NOTICED IT JULY 2018. WOULDN'T START IN OH, I THOUGHT I HAD JUST LEFT MY TRUNK OPEN TOO LONG WHILE PACKING.

I HAVE 2013 ACCORD EXL 40K MILES, AND HAD INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM FROM LAST FEW WEKKS, DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S COLD OR HOT, SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESN'T START.

ISSUE WITH PUSH BUTTON START. STARTED EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PUSHING BUTTON, CAR WON'T START. TYPICALLY HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN AND CAR STARTS. NOW, HOWEVER, IT IS TAKING A FEW TO SEVERAL TIMES OF PUSHING THE START BUTTON FOR CAR TO START. THIS CAN HAPPEN AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A MINUTE TO OVERNIGHT. THERE IS NO PATTERN. I'VE SEEN THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OWNERS OF THE '13 HONDA ACCORD WHEN I LOOK ONLINE. WHY HASN'T HONDA TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY & ISSUED A RECALL. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU GET STUCK SOMEWHERE & CAR WON'T START. (COPY/PASTE- SAME PROBLEM!!)

THERE THREE WARNING INDICATORS THAT COME ON MY DASH AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE INDICATORS ARE THE POWER STEERING SENSOR, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM AND THE VSA ENGAGED INDICATOR. I HAVE 4 FRIENDS WITH HONDA ACCORDS RANGING FROM 2013 - 2015 AND WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I TALK TO A MECHANIC AS WELL AS HONDA NO ONE KNOWS WHY THESE INDICATORS ARE ILLUMINATED. NO ISSUES CAN BE FOUND TO WHY THESE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF. THE VEHICLE STARTS IN THE AM AND THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON AND WHEN I DRIVE ABOUT 30 MILES THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY THE REMAINING TIME. THESE LIGHTS STAY ON, HIGHWAY AND STREET DRIVING AS WELL AS SITTING STATIONARY.

SINCE PURCHASE IN 2017. WE HAVE HAD TO GET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE MULTIPLE TIMES TO JUMP THE BATTERY BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. WE HAVE SPOKE TO HONDA THAT PERHAPS THIS VIN# VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON A RECALL...BUT NOT INCLUDED ON A THE 11/8/17 KGO RECALL. WE THEN TURN TO LOCAL PEPBOYS TO DO A 1ST DIAGNOSTIC ON 10/2/2018 AND SHOWED DAMAGED BATTERY AND SO WE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND THEN 2 WEEKS LATER ON 11/2/18 HAD TO HAVE TWO JUMP STARTS THAT WEEK AND WE RETURNED TO PEPBOYS FOR A 2ND DIAGNOSTICS THAT PINPOINTED SOMETHING CAUSING BATTERY DAMAGE. INSTALLED A NEW 2ND BATTERY WHICH BRINGS US TO WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY. IN CONCLUSION, WE ARE FEARFUL AS WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND PARK AND WORRY THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE LEFT STRANDED SOME WHERE WHEN WE GO TO CRANK VEHICLE OR WORSE A FIRE DUE TO SOME ELECTRICAL SHORT. WE BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE A VOUCHER TO TAKE VEHICLE TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AT THEIR COST TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE SINCE THEY SHOULD KNOW THEIR VEHICLE THE BEST.

AT 61XXX MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO NO LONGER START RELIABLY. SOMETIMES I WOULD PUSH THE START BUTTON AND IT WOULD START NORMALLY AND SOMETIMES I WOULD JUST HEAR A SINGLE CLICK BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START IT WOULD SOMETIMES START IF YOU RETRIED IT, BUT USUALLY IT WOULD ONLY RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE PUSHES OF THE START BUTTON. SOME DAYS I COULD NOT START IT AFTER 20 OR MORE ATTEMPTS. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED I DROVE IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC'S SHOP AND LEFT IT FOR THEM TO DEAL WITH. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD STARTER, REPLACED THE STARTER AND NOW IT WORKS OK. I HAD TESTED THE CAR BATTERY AND IT HAD 13.6 VOLTS. I TESTED THE KEY FOB BATTERIES AND THEY HAD WELL OVER THEIR ADVERTISED 3V . I READ THE HONDA ACCORD FORUMS AND FOUND MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE 6TH HONDA I HAVE OWNED AND NEVER REPLACED A STARTER ON ANY OF THEM - 3 OR 4 OF THEM HAVE GONE NEARLY 200K MILES WITH NO STARTER PROBLEM. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORTED BAD STARTERS IN THE FIRST 75000 MILES I WOULD HAVE TO SAY HONDA, WAS EITHER TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BY USING CHEAP STARTERS OR HAS A BAD SUPPLIER FOR THEIR STARTERS. WHATEVER IT IS, THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IND SOME VERY INCONVENIENT AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE END OF ITS 3 YEAR WARRANTY 2 YEARS AGO. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER AND BATTERY REPLACED (09/16).

INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. CAR HAS NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. PLEASE SEE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE. ONE TIME I DROVE HOME FROM WORK FOR ABOUT 15 MILES, TURNED OFF CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY, TRIED TO START THE CAR AND WONT START.

I HAD ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES THAT THE CAR DOESN'T START AT FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. THOSE TIMES, I HAD TO TRY FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. NOW I THINK OF IT IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER REPLACING THE RECALLED PART, BATTERY SENSOR ON 3/23/2018. ON 9/10/2018, I TRIED SO MANY TIME TO START THE CAR BUT HAD TO TOWED TO HONDA DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK. NEXT DAY, I WAS TOLD THE STARTER NEEDED THE STARTER REPLACEMENT COSTING $850, AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 35600 MILES ON IT.

THE HONDA HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY STARTING FOR THE PAST MONTH. WHEN YOU INITIALLY TRY TO START THERE IS A CLICK AND IF YOU TRY AGAIN OFTEN 3-4 ATTEMPTS IT WILL START. SUMMER MONTHS THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING THE VEHICLE HAS A BATTERY SENSOR RECALL AND SINCE THE RECALL THIS HAS STARTED TO OCCUR.

SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START. BRAKE IS DEPRESSED AND BUTTON IS PUSHED TO START, GREEN LIGHT GOES ON BUT CAR DOES NOT START. AIR CONDITIONER WILL RUN. I THEN PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON AND EVERYTHING GOES OFF AND TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN. CAR USUALLY STARTS AFTER ONE OR TWO TIMES.

Mileage: 60,000

MY CAR HAS JUST GONE BEYOND THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTEE & IS NOW HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. WHEN THE START BUTTON IS PUSHED, ALL I GET IS SOME WARNING LIGHTS. IT WILL START AFTER 6 - 12 ATTEMPTS.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE REPAIR WILL COST ABOUT $600.

I THINK IT'S CRAZY, AFTER ALL THESE COMPLAINS EVERYWHERE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I GAVE HONDA THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, BECAUSE OF THEIR HISTORY OF RELIABILITY, BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH.

SINCE THE BATTERY SENSOR WAS FIXED DECEMBER, 2017 MY PUSH START WILL NOT ALWAYS START MY CAR AND THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT TO SHOW ANYTHING IS WRONG. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE MY CAR. I NOTIFIED HONDA, THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND REFERRED BACK TO DEALER. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL 2013 AND 2014'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. WOULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE? THESE STARTERS ARE DANGEROUS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2013 AND WAS COMING UP A SNOW COVERED DRIVE MY CAR QUIT AND I SLID BACKWARD BECAUSE I COULD NOT RESTART CAR WITHOUT USING THE BRAKE. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA THEN, THEY OPENED A CASE, THEN NOTHING. I TOLD THEM THEN THAT I WAS SLIDING BACKWARD AND COULD HAVE GONE OVER AN EMBANKMENT..

THE PROBLEM IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND/OR A SUDDEN INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT AND DEALER IDENTIFIED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACEMENT FOR A TOTAL OF $2100.00. FOR A "NEW" CAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD BE HONDA'S FIX NOT THE COSTUMER.

MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE HOWEVER, ONCE I RECEIVED THE BATTERY RECALL LETTER I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR INTO GARDENA HONDA. PLEASE NOTE MY CAR STILL HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. AUGUST 2017 I WENT TO GET MY CAR CHECKED FOR THE BATTERY RECALL THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT THEY APPLIED KONSHI BOND TO PROTECT BMS. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER WORK MY CAR DID NOT START (STATIONARY). CHECK ENGINE WAS ON, CHECK STEERING LIGHT ON & TRACTION LIGHT ON PLUS LOW PRESSURE ON. I IMMEDIATELY FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO IT. HONDA SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THAT NOW THE PROBLEM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BATTERY. INSTEAD, IT WAS MY ENGINE WIRE HARNESS. THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED FOR A PRICE OF ~$2,800 BUT THEY COULD LOWER IT TO $669.15 + TAX I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM IN HONDA. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR. BACK IN MARCH 2016 THEY TOLD ME BY BATTERY FAILED THE BATTERY TEST AND DECIDED TO CHARGE IT. NOVEMBER 2016, THEY MADE ME BUY A NEW BATTERY, AT THAT TIME MY CAR WAS STILL BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS COINCIDENCE. I GOT A HONDA FOR RELIABILITY REASONS. I ALSO KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SERVICE THE CAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE 3 TIMES AND I SHOULDN'T BE CONCERN OF MY 2013 HONDA CAR THAT STILL HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES OF ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I AM CONCERN OF SERVICE FRAUD BECAUSE I WAS CHARGE TO RECHARGED AND REPLACE THE BATTERY. ONE TIME I WAS WITHIN WARRANTY AND THE OTHER WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTERWARD. I AM REQUESTING A REIMBURSEMENT OF SOME MANNER; IT CAN BE MONETARY OR FREE SERVICING MY CAR.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO START MY CAR IT WON'T START. I HAVE TO TRY MAYBE 4 OR MORE TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THIS CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD. WHEN I'M AT WORK AND GO TO START THE CAR IT STAGS. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. THIS PROBABLY HAPPENS EVERYDAY. EVERYTHING IS ON BUT IT STILL TAKES MANY ATTEMPTS TO START. I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING MANY COMPLAINTS BUT DIDN'T OFFER A SOLUTION,SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK WITH ME. READING OTHER COMPLAINTS I THINK THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (CORAL SPRINGS HONDA, LOCATED AT 9400 W ATLANTIC BLVD CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY, CLAMP, AND CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 04760408. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,080.

SOMETIMES I NEED TO TURN THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS OR CRANKS OR DOES ANYTHING. DEALER ALSO SAID IT WOULDN'T START WITH THEM.

INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES, PUSH START BUTTON, CAR MAKES GRINDING NOISES AND CLICKING, BRAKE THEN LOCKS DOWN TO THE FLOOR. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO PUSH BUTTON, CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START..THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, HAS OCCURED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN PAST 4 MONTHS. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. HAVE HAD CAR TO HONDA DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC, THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM BUT STATE THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HONDA CONSUMERS. THIS ISSUE HAS NO CERTAIN TIME OF HAPPENING, HAS OCCURED ON A COLD AND WARM START. I NEVER KNOW WHEN CAR WILL START OR NOT. TAKING CAR BACK TO HONDA SERVICE NEXT WEEK TO TRY TO DIAGNOSE AGAIN.

VEHICLE IS 2013 AND I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTED AND BATTERY 4 TIMES DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE, IT TURN ON AND IMMEDIATLY DIES OFF, MY CAR HAS BEEN TOWED 6 TIMES OR MORE SINCE I BOUGHT, I HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ALL THE TIME AND COMPUTER NEVER IDENTIFIES THIS PROBLEM. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS TRASH CAR, I STILLOWE ON IT OR ELSE I WOULD JUST PARK IT ON THE FRONT LOT OF A DEALER AND PUT A BIG SIGN SAYING DO NOT BUY HONDA ACCORDS, MANY PROBLEMS ALWAYS. LASTLY, I ASKED THE DRIVER FOR THE TOW TRUCK WHICH KIND OF CARS HE TOWS THE MOST DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE AND HE SAID, LAUGHING "HONDAS"...FIRST TIME IT FAIL TO START WAS AT 54K MILES.

Mileage: 54,000

THE I4 ENGINE WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. THE BATTERY IS NEW AND FULLY CHARGED. MANY TIMES, I GET IT STARTED BY STRAIGHTENING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH 51K MILES SO OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER WANTS A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO TEST OTHER COMPONENTS. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO CONSUMERS FOR THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT BUT ALSO A CONSUMER HAZARD IN TERMS OF SAFETY NOT TO MENTION T REPUTATIONAL RISK TO HONDA.

Mileage: 51,000

VEHICLE HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS DUE TO FAILURE TO START, ONLY CLICKING SOUND. BEFORE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO START, I WOULD HAVE TO TRY 3 OR MORE TIMES FOR IT TO START. FIRST TIME I CHANGED THE BATTERY AN VEHICLE WAS OK FOR A WHILE BUT THEN STARTED FAILING TO START INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD ONLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I DO NOT MIND REPLACING THE STARTER BUT IT BOTHERS ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 3-4 YEAR OLD AND BELIEVE REPLACING THE STARTER MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LONG RUN AS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME STARTERS THAT ARE FAILING. PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THE STARTERS ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD - BUT HONDA STILL HAS NOT MADE A RECALL?? THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE AND THEY ARE NOT HELPING ANYONE? I AM AFRAID I WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE AND MY CAR WILL NOT START - BUT IT IS ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET IT REPAIRED!!!! I HAVE TO CRANK IT MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. THE ONE SHOP MADE ME GET A NEW BATTERY - BUT THAT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I FEEL LIKE I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE!

CAR WOULD NOT START CONSISTENTLY. PUSH BUTTON START NEEDED TO BE ENGAGED UP TO 10 TIMES FOR CAR TO EVENTUALLY START. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO BECOME WORSE OVER TIME. ULTIMATELY THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 3.5 YEARS AND APPROXIMATELY 49,000 MILES. PROBLEM CAN LEAVE DRIVER STRANDED AT REMOTE LOCATIONS CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

BATTERY TERMINAL CORROSION - THE FACTORY BATTERY HAD SEVERE CORROSION PROBLEMS AFTER 2 YRS (UNLIKE ANY OF MY OTHER 3 CARS). ON THE THIRD YEAR IT DIED AND WAS REPLACED WITH A AAA BATTERY. AFTER 6 MONTHS THIS BATTERY IS ALSO SHOWING CORROSION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AFTER DOING GOOGLE SEARCHES. WHAT'S WORSE IS THE POSITIVE BATTER CABLE IS NOT AN EASY NOR ECONOMICAL REPLACEMENT ONCE THE CORROSION FINDS ITS WAY INSIDE. I BELIEVE THE CORROSION IS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE 'SMART CHARGING SYSTEM' HONDA IS USING ON THIS VEHICLE. NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN MY 30+ YRS OF OWNING DOZENS OF CARS.

FOR THE LAST MONTH I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE KEY INTO THE IGNITION 4-7 TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. TODAY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS AUTO PARTS IN EL PASO, TX AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO CHANGE THE STARTER BECAUSE IT IS WEARING OUT AND IS A RARITY BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN TO A HONDA ACCORD THAT IS ONLY 3 + YEARS OLD. I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND ALL ENGINE PARTS ARE OPERATING NORMALLY. UNBELIEVEABLE THAT MY HONDA ACCORD IS BREAKING DOWN ON ME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL.

I OWN 2013 ACCORD WITH 40K MILEAGE AND FACED STARTING PROBLEM FROM OCTOBER 2016, BATTERY WAS DEAD SUDDENLY AND REPLACED IT IN NOVEMBER 2016. EVEN AFTER THAT I WAS FACING STARTING PROBLEM AND HEAR A CLICK SOUND WHILE STARTING AND GETS STARTED VERY NEXT TIME. CHECKED WITH MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD STARTER IS DEAD AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I OWN A 2013 HONDA ACCORD LX AND IT HAS STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES STARTING. THE BATTERY IS TWO MONTHS OLD AND HAS BEEN CHECK AND IT'S FINE. STARTER HAS BEEN CHECKED AND ITS FINE. CAR WILL START SOMETIMES ON FIRST TRY, BUT OTHER TIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. TURNING STEERING SOMETIMES HELPS, TURNING OFF ALL LIGHTS SOMETIMES HELPS AND PRESSING GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES HELPS, BUT ISSUE IS NOT CONSISTENT. SEE OTHERS ARE HAVING SAME TYPE OF ISSUES ON SEVERAL FORUMS.

APPARENTLY, HONDA HAS BEEN USING WIRING HARNESSES THAT ARE COATED IN SOME SORT OF SOY BASED MATERIAL IN AN EFFORT TO GO GREEN. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS HAS RESULTED IN AN UNWANTED CONSEQUENCE OF RODENTS BEING ATTRACTED TO MY CAR. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO CHEW THROUGH THE WIRES AND THIS CAN RESULT IN A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL FROM HONDA. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY DID TO THE VEHICLES THEY MANUFACTURER, AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE MAKING US VEHICLE OWNERS PAY FOR THE REPAIR BILLS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO? I'VE READ ONLINE THIS IS NOT JUST AFFECTING VEHICLE OWNERS IN RURAL AREAS, BUT OWNERS WHO LIVE IN CITIES LIKE I DO. SO FAR, I'VE HAD TO USE SOME BITTER APPLE SPRAY THAT ONLY CAUSES THE RODENTS TO TRY NIBBLING ELSEWHERE IN THE ENGINE BAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES, BUT I CAN TAKE SOME UPON REQUEST. I'D HATE TO BE DRIVING WHEN SOMETHING FAILS.

FOR THE LAST YEAR, THE CAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START AFTER PARKING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. USUALLY AFTER A FEW KEY TURNS IT WILL START. A MONTH AGO IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL SO WE TOWED IT. THE DEALERSHIP DECIDED IT WAS THE STARTER. AFTER 37,000 MILES? IT'S A HONDA! IT WORKED FINE FOR 5 WEEKS AND THEN IT DIED AGAIN AFTER BEING DRIVEN JUST A FEW MILES. THIS TIME THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND CLICKED FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER TOWING IT, THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP TO A JUMPSTART AND IT STARTED! THREE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH SO THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. I CALLED THEM A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. I HATE LETTING MY WIFE DRIVE AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE.

WHILE PARKING, BUT STOPPED, THE CAR SPED OUT OF CONTROL. FOOT BRAKE AND HAND BRAKE FAILED TO STOP THE SPEEDING CAR. IT LEAPED OVER A CURB AND INTO A RETENTION POND. THE DOORS REFUSED TO UNLOCK. DRIVER AND PASSENGER ESCAPED THRU WINDOWS AND ONTO THE ROOF.

WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL YOU HEAR A "CLICK" AND THEN PUSH THE "START" IGNITION BUTTON, THE CAR DOES NOT CRANK, BUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE CAR CABIN COME ON. REPLACED BATTER AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BEFORE VEHICLE WILL FINALLY START. VEHICLE STARTED DOING THIS AT ABOUT THE 33 MONTH OF OWNERSHIP (I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW). VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. HONDA DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANY FAULTS OR CODES.

***HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF*** THIS CAR HAS A "FEATURE" THAT IS NOT DISCLOSED TO CUSTOMERS UPON PURCHASE WHICH CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR PROPERTY AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE KEY FOB IS PLACED IN A POCKET WITH KEYS (AS EVERYONE DOES), THERE IS A COMBINATION OF INADVERTENT BUTTON PRESSES (SPECIFICALLY UNLOCK / UNLOCK / UNLOCK) WHICH CAUSES ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND THE SUNROOF TO OPEN. THIS HAS LEAD TO MY CAR BEING SOAKED BY HAVING ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN DURING A RAINSTORM WHILE I WAS INSIDE MY OFFICE (WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED RIGHT OUTSIDE - THE KEY FOB WORKS FROM QUITE A FAR DISTANCE). IT HAS ALSO LEAD TO MY BELONGINGS BEING COMPROMISED DUE TO ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPENING WHEN I PARKED IN THE CITY AND WAS SITTING IN A BUILDING WITH THE KEYS IN MY POCKET, AMONG OTHER TIMES. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE SELLING DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS FEATURE AND I SHOULD READ THE MANUAL. IT IS NOT DETAILED IN THE MANUAL AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE IT.

2013 STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER TWICE BECAUSE THE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT ON THE 2ND TIME RIGHT BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRE THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT AND REPLACED THE STARTER. FAST FORWARD IN LESS THAN 2000 MILES AND LESS THAN 1 YEAR, I'M HAVING THE STARTING PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVING THESE ISSUES, I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR IN TO DIAGNOSE THE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES YET, BUT IF THE IS BAD AGAIN. I WISH THEY COULD FIGURE OUT IF THE STARTERS ARE BAD OR WHAT'S CAUSING THE STARTER TO FAIL PREMATURELY

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING (29,262 MILES) WILL NOT CRANK NOR START. THERE HAS BEEN NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS/WARNINGS, JUST WOULDN'T START ONE MORNING. IT'S PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB ALTHOUGH THE OTHER ONE WAS WORKING TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WHEN I PRESS IT THE CAR UNLOCKS AS NORMAL. THE INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE DIRECTIONS OF HOW TO START THE CAR STILL SHOW. THE CAR IS IN PARK, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES & PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON. THERE IS A SLIGHT BEEPING SOUND AND A FEW LIGHTS SHOWING IN THE DASH, BUT IT WON'T START. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN THE ACCESSORY MODE COMES ON AS NORMAL. THE RADIO PLAYS, MY PHONE CONNECTS, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORKS, LIGHTS WORKS FINE, ETC. WHEN I PRESS IT ONCE TO TURN IT OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE AC COMES ON, & ALL THE PRE-PROGRAMMED WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ONE BY ONE WITH A BEEP. FINALLY I PRESS IT ONE FINAL TIME TO TURN IT OFF. SO EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, IT JUST WON'T START. THIS LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THE STARTER HAS GONE OUT LIKE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO VERIFY THAT. AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS & 29,000 MILES, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. AND I DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $700-$800 WHICH IS ESTIMATED STARTER REPLACEMENT COST.

THE STARTER CHECKED OUT OK BUT SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE STARTER AND KEPT THE ORIGINAL INCASE I CONTINUED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM THEY COULD RETURN THE ORIGINAL AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.

DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS WAY TOO EARLY FOR A STARTER TO GO OUT ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 550 MILES ON IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE U.S. HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE.

NEXT IS THE STARTER BUT HONDA CHANGED ITS LOCATION AND PLACED IT UNDER THE MOTOR. I SUBMITTED LINKS FROM A HONDA FORUM TO THIS WEBSITE DOCUMENTING MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHETHER THEY DRIVE LX, EX, OR SPORT. CVT MANUAL IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER.

CAR WON'T START,ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BOUGHT A 2013 HONDA ACCORD EXL V6, IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, BUT SOON AFTER THAT I STARTED EXPERIENCING STARTING PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC MANY TIMES, I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED, REPLACED STARTER, THE BATTERY ETC. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY WIDE SPREAD, THERE ARE SEVERAL YOU TUBE VIDEOS, AND POSTS OF FRUSTRATED OWNERS UNABLE TO START THEIR CARS CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE THE STARTED IN MOST CASES. EVERY CAR FROM 2013-2016 IS SUFFERING FROM THIS PROBLEM, OF BEING UNABLE TO START, AS A COLLEGE STUDENT I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO CONSTANTLY FIX IT AS IT HAPPENS. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR, TO REPLACE MY OLD CAR WHICH WAS DEVELOPING MAJOR PROBLEMS, BUT AT LEAST THE CAR STARTED EVERY TIME.

I DRIVE A LOT OF MILE TO WORK SO I HAVE OVER 60K MILES IN 2 YEARS. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.

I THINK THE STARTER SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO REPLACE STARTERS THAT THE DEALER SEEMED TO KNOW WAS BAD.

MY 2013 ACCORD IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON. THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN ONE WEEK OUR CAR HAD TROUBLE STARTING. IT WOULD MAKE A SOUND OF HESITATION BEFORE STARTING FOR 3-5 SECONDS. WE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED THIS PAST WINTER. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR A CHECK ON THE ELECTRICAL AND STARTING SYSTEMS. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO NOT START IN ORDER FOR HONDA TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG.

KEYLESS FOB HAS TWO TIMES OPENED ALL FOUR WINDOWS AND SUN ROOF WHILE IN MY PANTS POCKET A COUPLE OF INCHES. THE LAST TIME ON APRIL 11, 2016 IT RAINED TWO INCHES AND THE CAR WAS LEFT IN THE RAIN. THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE CAR WOULD NOT START . THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE FLICKERING LIKE CRAZY. YOU CAN NOT TELL THE SUN ROOF IS OPEN BECAUSE THE SLIDING COVER IS CLOSED. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REMOVE THIS FEATURE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO OPEN THE SUNROOF FROM PRESSING A BUTTON FROM YOUR FOB. THIS COST ME A LOT OF MONEY AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE SUN ROOF WAS LEFT OPEN.

IN NOVEMBER 2015 I PARKED MY CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY. WENT OUT AN HOUR LATER AND IT WOULDN'T START. JUMPED THE CAR AND IT DROVE FINE. IN JANARY 2016 I PULLED UP TO GET GAS. AFTER FUELING THE CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD TO PUSH MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY AND HAVE SOMEONE JUMP IT AGAIN. HAD BATTERY TESTED AT TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS AND IT IS FINE. CAME HOME FROM WORK TONIGHT APRIL 1, 2016. WENT TO LEAVE TWO HOURS LATER AND IT WON'T START AGAIN.

INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING. ONCE YOU STICK THE KEY IN THE INGNITION AND TURN THE KEY THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE FULL POWER TO ALL THE ELECTRONIC IN THE CAR BUT THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE CAR TO START. THE CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST

I PARKED MY CAR IN OUR HOME GARAGE AFTER DRIVING 15-20 MILES. AN HOUR LATER, WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE THE CAR OUT, AT IGNITION IT JUST REFUSED TO START. I GOT MANY DASHBOARD CHATTERING INDICATORS ON BUT NO ENGINE CRANKING. TRIED COUPLE OF TIMES BUT SAME RESULTS. CHECKED HEAD LIGHTS AND FOUND THEM BRIGHT AND OK INDICATING NO POSSIBLE BATTERY ISSUE. THEN I JUMP STARTED FROM OUR OTHER CAR PARKED NEXT TO IT. IT STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. BUT THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS REMAINED 'ON'. I USED VEHICLE SETTING MENU AND SELECTED FACTORY DEFAULT RESET. BUT THE INDICATORS REMAINED 'ON'. I TOOK THE CAR FOR A SHORT DRIVE. AS SOON AS I DROVE SOME 15-20 FEET, THE INDICATORS WENT OFF. I DROVE FOR SOME TIME AND TRIED TO STOP THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT COUPLE TIMES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IN MY CASE, I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPENED AT HOME GARAGE AND NOT MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BUT WHEN I TRIED TO RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND MANY SUCH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND SOME OF THEM WERE INDICATING POSSIBLE 'BAD' STARTER ISSUE WHICH REQUIRED $800-1000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS. MY CAR IS AROUND 18 MONTHS OLD WITH CLEAN RECORDS OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THE CAR HAS LOGGED AROUND 32,400 MILES AND MAINTAINED WITH CARE. AS A CONCERNED OWNER, AFTER READING THOSE ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS, I THOUGHT OF SHARING MY ISSUE HERE AND RECORD IT TOO. I SEE THERE ARE ENOUGH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS TO ARRIVE AT THERE COULD BE A FAULTY COMPONENT (MAY BE STARTER OR SOMETHING ELSE, I AM NOT AN EXPERT) WHICH MIGHT NEED ATTENTION AND POSSIBLE RECALL REPAIRS BY THE MANUFACTURER

I BOUGHT MY 2013 ACCORD SPORT NEW. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT AFTER I START IT AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. SLIGHT PRESS OF THE ACCELERATION PEDAL AND SLOWLY IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD, HOWEVER WITHIN APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL PRESS AND THE VEHICLE MOVING WOULD WORK AS THEY SHOULD. SINCE I ONLY CONSIDERED THIS AN INCONVENIENCE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT " NORMAL", I IGNORED THE ISSUE. IN MID 2014, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, IN LOS ANGELES, THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE DASHBOARD WENT COMPLETELY OUT, ONLY TO FLICKER BACK TO LIFE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO SECONDS. A FEW MONTHS AFTER, WITH NO WARNING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, I DISCOVERED IT TO BE COMPLETELY DEAD. NO CLICKS, NO FLICKERING LIGHTS. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AT ABOUT 25K MILES. OVER THE NEXT YEAR, THE SUDDEN ELECTRICAL SHORT, WHERE THE DASHBOARD ELECTRONICS AND EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL ON THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF SUDDENLY, CONTINUED. EVERY TWO MONTHS ON AVERAGE I WOULD EXPERIENCE AN EPISODE, SOME WHILE DRIVING, SOME WHEN I WAS STATIONARY, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING FOR COUPLE OF MINUTES. BEGINNING OF 2016, I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, AGAIN NO SIGN OF LIFE, OUT OF THE BLUE. I JUMP STARTED IT, HAD IT CHECKED, NO APPARENT PROBLEMS OR ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY. END OF MARCH 2016, SAME PROBLEM. I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE, IT TURNED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON, THEN IT DIED...NO CLICKS, NO LIGHTS FLICKERING. I HAD IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC, COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.I LIKED WHAT HONDA USED TO REPRESENT, I AM NOT SURE ANYMORE ABOUT ITS RELIABILITY.

2013 ACCORD SPORT IS STARTING TO HAVE A STARTING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER WHEN FIRST TURNING THE KEY. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THIS SITE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GOING TO GET TO THE POINT OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE STARTER. NOT HAPPY. I WAS HOPING ON HAVING A RELIABLE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR HOWEVER I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES TWO BEING MAJOR BUT THANK GOD IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. ONE BEING TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT AROUND 8,000 MILES AND THE TIMING BELT/TENSIONER ISSUES.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT WITH 42K MILES BECAME HESITANT TO START. A TURN OF THE KEY AND I JUST HEARD CLICKS , AFTER 3-5 TRIES IT USUALLY STARTED ON UP. THE PROBLEM PROGRESSED, YET I CONTINUED TO "MAKE DUE", I STARTED PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO START IT, AND EVEN HAD TO BE JUMPED OFF A FEW TIMES. EVENTUALLY IN EARLY FEBRUARY MY BATTERY WENT BAD, AND I PURCHASED A NEW ONE. ON MARCH 12,2016 MY CAR REFUSED TO START. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM - IN 2013 WITH 18 MILES ON IT...ON 3/14/16 I WAS JUST INFORMED THAT MY STARTER IS BAD. TO REPLACE THE STARTER IT WILL BE $850....NOT INCLUDING THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $110 AND THE TOWING COST OF $80, ALL BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE 3/36K WARRANTY THAT IS STANDARD WITH HONDA. SEEMS LIKE A RIDICULOUS PRICE TO PAY, ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING THE OTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON HONDAS PART. 2013 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THEY MADE THE HONDA ACCORD SPORT EDITION ( I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP), OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WENT AWRY AT THE FACTORY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM, I GAVE THE YEAR,MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY CAR. THE TECHNICIAN THAT ANSWERED THE PHONE REPLIED WITH "OH, YES MA'AM, I JUST SPOKE WITH YOU 10 MINUTES AGOI?" IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD CALLED. THAT TELLS ME THERE ARE OTHER 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. MAKE IT RIGHT HONDA!!

I HAVE HONDA ACCORD WHITE EX-L SINCE 11/10/2012 WITH CURRENT MILEAGE OF 16,300. 1. RECENTLY, I WENT TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE AIR PRESSURE CHECKED ON MY CAR, SINCE I WAS GOING FOR A LONG TRIP. WHILE, AIR PRESSURE WAS BEING CHECKED, I LEFT THE CAR ON IN ACCESSORY MODE FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. WHEN I WENT ON TO TURN THE CAR ON, IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. DASH BOARD LIGHTS, FLICKERED AT EVERY ATTEMPT, WHEN I TRIED TURNING ON THE CAR. MY MECHANIC CHECKED THE BATTERY, HE SAID, BATTERY IS DEAD. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. ONCE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, MECHANIC CHECKED ALTERNATOR. HE STATED, ALTERNATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I TOLD HIM, I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO HONDA DEALER. THIS REMINDED ME, THAT SAME THING HAPPENED ON 7/4/2014, WHERE I HAD LEFT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND RADIO ON AT THE SAME TIME IN POWER MODE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I CALLED HONDA CARE, 1ST DRIVER, COULDN'T JUMP START MY CAR. 2ND DRIVER CAME, AND HE WAS ABLE TO JUMP START MY CAR. HE STATED BATTERY WAS FINE AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, I JUST REALIZED, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS TAKING LOT LONGER TO OPEN AND CLOSE THAN IT SHOULD. WITH NEW BATTERY, I WILL BRING CAR TO DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED. ALSO, SINCE ABOVE INSTANCES, I TURN OFF MY HEADLIGHTS FROM AUTO MODE, AND ALSO INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM DIMMING OR TURNING OFF AUTOMATICALLY TO SAVE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. 2. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2013, I HAVE NOTICED THAT, I CAN HEAR FUEL MOVING IN THE FUEL TANK. IN MY OLD 2000 HONDA ACCORD, I NEVER HEARD SUCH A THING. 3. SINCE 2012, I HAVE GOTTEN ALIGNMENT DONE 3 TIMES, BUT I STILL FEEL THE VIBRATION THROUGH OUT MY CAR, AND CAR FEELS LIKE WOBBLING IN THE FRONT. 4. NOT HAPPY WITH MPG. IN CITY, I GET 9 TO 11 MPG. HIGHWAY, IT IS JUST ABOUT 32 TO 35 MPG AS ADVERTISED AND TESTED. 5. SOMETIMES, WHEN PUTTING ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT, IT GETS STUCK. I HAVE TO RETRACT IT AND THAN I AM ABLE TO SECURE IT IN SEAT BELT CLIP.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAPPENED TO ME RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2013 ,LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT.I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR FOR MY LIFE.I WAS DRIVING IN PENNSYLVANIA ON RT 33 SOUTH TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED.I HAD TO LEAN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH ALL MY BODY WEIGHT TO TRY TO GET IT TO TURN BUT IT WAS LOCKED .I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF.AFTER A FEW MINUTES I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL,I WAS LUCKY THAT PART OF THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING ON WAS STRAIGHT AND CURVE OR MOUNTAIN SECTION LIKE MOST OF PENNSYLVANIA.I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAINST AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY.PLEASE INVESTIGATE MY VEHICLE AND WORK WITH HONDA TO GET THIS FIXED SO NO ONE HAS TO DIE. IT MORE THAN THIS ,I BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO,SUNROOF,KIEYS ALARM GO ON WENT I WAS DRIVING .

CAR WILL NOT START IN THE MORNINGS: WITHIN A MONTHS 3 TIMES. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CONSTANTLY LIGHTING UP. BACK AND BUTT PAIN INCLUDING LEGS FALLING ASLEEP

IT SO FAR HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE THAT I NEED TO JUMP-START THE CAR. THERE PROBABLY HAS SOME ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE ISSUES OR SOMETHING RELATED TO IT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS MORE THAN A YEAR AGO THAT WHEN I CAME EARLIER TO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT WAITING FOR THE CLINIC TO OPEN, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LEFT THE CD PLAYER ON. BUT IT ONLY PLAYED FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR OR SO IT TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY DUE TO THE BATTERY POWER HAS ALREADY BEEN DEPLETED AND THE CARD COULD NOT START AT ALL THAT I HAD TO CALL AAA AFTER THE DOCTOR APPOINTMENT TO JUMP-START FOR ME. I THOUGHT AT THAT TIME IT WAS DUE TO THE CD PLAYER TOOK TOO MUCH POWER SO I DID NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. BUT THE SECOND TIME IT WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO ON SUNDAY, WHICH GIVE ME THE CONCERNS THAT THERE MUST BE SOME ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE ON MY CAR. AFTER PARKING FOR THE CHURCH MEETING AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, BOTH MY WIFE AND I DECIDED TO OPEN THE WINDOW A LITTLE BIT TO LET THE AIR FLOWS IN THE HOT WEATHER SINCE WE PARKED UNDER A COVERED PARKING AND WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT POSSIBLE RAINFALL. SO BEFORE WE OPEN THE DOORS, WE OPENED BOTH FRONT WINDOWS A VERY LITTLE BIT AND LEFT FOR THE MEETINGS. THEN ABOUT 3.5-4 HOURS LATER WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME, WE FOUND OUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AND WE HAD TO ASK FOR HELP TO JUMP-START IT AGAIN. THIS TIME IT GAVE A DEFINITE GUESS THAT THERE MUST BE SOME ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE IN THE CAR. I ALSO COMPLAINED IN EARLY JUNE OF THIS YEAR ABOUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ISSUE. I RECEIVED A MAIL FROM HONDA TO FIX IT, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERS, NONE OF THEM EVEN OFFER LOANER CARS FOR SUCH RECALL AND MANUFACTURE FAILURE REPAIRS. HONDA IS BAD FOR THINGS LIKE THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I SHOULD PURCHASE HONDA AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I NEVER COMPLAINED ONCE FOR MY TOYOTA FOR YEARS. EVEN THEY SCHEDULE FOR MANUFACTURE RECALLS, WHICH I NEVER ENCOUNTER MYSELF, I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE LOANER CAR.

SINCE DELIVERY DATE OF VEHICLE FROM DEALER MY VEHICLES NAVIGATION AND STEREO HAVE NOT WORKED. I BROUGHT IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, THEY REPLACED THE NAVIGATION AND STEREO AND THE PROBLEM STILL TO THIS DAY EXIST. WHEN THIS RADIO IS ON SOMETIMES IT FREEZES AND THE NAV UNIT STATES THE RADIO IS OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT JUST STAYS ON, VOLUME INCREASES ON ITS OWN, CANNOT USE TOUCH SCREEN, CANNOT CHANGE STATIONS AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GO ON AND OFF AND CAR SHUTS OFF. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IF IT GOES BACK TO WORKING THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO KEEP DRIVING IT AND BRING IT BACK. ON SEPT 21 I BROUGHT IT IN TO DEALER AND IT SHUT OFF AT DEALER 3X'S MAKING THEM JUMP START IT AND I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RECEIVED MY CAR WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WORKS. THEY SAID THE BATTERY AND COMPUTER TEST COME BACK OK BUT THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY IN HOPES THAT THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT IS 9/24/15 AND SAME THING HAPPENED THIS MORNING. BUT SINCE AFTER 3 HOURS OF TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON IT DID AND I CANT GO BACK TO BEING WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, HAVE TO WORK AND KNOW THE DEALER WILL SAY ITS WORKING AGAIN I HAVE TO JUST PRAY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN WHILE ON THE ROAD

I PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA NOVEMBER OF 2013 AT ROCK HONDA IN FONTANA, CA. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS FROM THE CAR SITTING SO LONG & IT BEING SO COLD.(THIS SHOULD HAVE SENT A RED FLAG). AFTER A FEW MONTHS & THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO START. I WAS THEN STRANDED ON THE FREEWAY. I CALLED HONDA CARE. THE FIRST DRIVER CAME TO MY CAR TOOK TWO MINUTES TRIED TO START IT, SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG (AS HE WAS RUSHING & DID NOT HAVE TIME TO LOOK) HE ASKED TO USE MY PHONE CHARGER, LEFT MY HOOD UP (WHICH CAUSED DENTS IN MY HOOD FROM BEING ON THE FREEWAY WITH STRONG WINDS) & LEFT. THE SECOND DRIVER CAME & HAD TO GIVE ME A JUMP START & DO SOMETHING WITH THE GAS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER UPON GETTING MY OIL CHANGE, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, & THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING. THEN MY CAR DIED AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN & THEY WERE SENDING SOMEONE OUT TO JUMP START IT BUT I WALKED OVER TO THE SEARS NEXT DOOR & THEY JUMPED IT. THEN IT HAPPENED 2 DAYS IN A ROW. THE FIRST DAY, THE HONDA CARE DRIVER HAD TO USE TWO SETS OF JUMPER CABLES TO JUMP MY CAR. THE SECOND DAY THE DRIVER HAD TO JUMP MY CAR AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I RECORDED IT. I THEN AGAIN BROUGHT MY CAR TO PENSKE HONDA IN ONTARIO WHERE I EXPLAINED TO A SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHAT HAPPENED & I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD HONDA CORPORATE ABOUT MY HOOD & HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO CALL HONDA CARE. THEY SUPPOSEDLY OPENED A CLAIM BUT NEVER CALLED ME BACK & GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND WHEN I CALLED THEM. THE DEALERSHIP THEN DID MY OIL CHANGE & CHECKED THE CAR OUT & FOUND NOTHING. I THEN GOGGLED THE SYMPTOMS OF MY CAR & FOUND RECALL WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH SHUTS DOWN THE BATTERY ON THIS SITE. I BELIEVE ROCK HONDA SOLD ME THE VEHICLE WITHOUT REMEDYING THE RECALL PRIOR TO SALE. HONDA CORPORATION DID NOTHING.

DRIVERS WINDOW WOULD GO HALF WAY UP STOP ON IT'S OWN THEN GO BACK DOWN AND STICK, DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUT. COULD NOT GET OUT OF CAR, HAD TO CRAWL OVER TO PASS. SIDE AND GET OUT. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STARTED EXHIBITING THE SAME BEHAVIOR, STILL NOT RESOLVED. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES HAPPEN, SAFETY ISSUE. BACK UP CAMERA WENT BLACK, THEY REPLACED CAMERA, STILL THE COLOR IS OFF AT TIMES, OTHER TIMES IT IS BLACK OR BECOMES DISTORTED, COLOR AT NIGHT IS IN NEGATIVE AT TIMES. SHOWED THEM THE PICS. AND I WAS TOLD IT DOES WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROB. THE DOOR IS THE MOST CONCERNING PART, IF MY CHILD IS IN THE PASS. SIDE SEAT AND I HAVE TO GET THEM OUT, AND THE DOOR DECIDES IT DOESN'T WANT TO OPEN, THEN WE HAVE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 8 TO 10 TIMES SINCE FEB. 2015, I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY DON'T SEEM TO HELP, I AM OUT OF OPTIONS. THIS IS ONLY JULY 2015, I NEED HELP IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER WITH THE DOOR, I CAN LIVE WITH THE CAMERA EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AND THE CAR EPS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND COMING OF THE HIGHWAY RAMP. I LOST CONTROL OF ALL STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAR CANNOT BE CONSIDERED SAFE AT ALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTERWARDS AND WAS FORCED TOO WITHOUT POWER STEERING BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD I DONT KNOW WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED THEN.

Mileage: 35,989

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR THE 5TH TIME IN THE LAST MONTH. EPS LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON DASHBOARD, TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WAS ORIGINALLY CLEARED BY TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, BUT NOW FAILS IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1,700 REPAIR - THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SO THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, ONCE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND TWICE LAST WEEK (AFTER HAVING THE CAR DROPPED OFF TO FIX THE BRAKE TSB THAT CAUSES A SQUEAK ON TURNS). I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FROM AGGRESSIVE TO NORMAL DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOK AT MY DASH ONLY TO SEE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. ONCE THIS HAPPENS YOU CAN SEE THE MPG INDICATOR HAS A DELAY, A CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR OF THE CARS CONTROLS, LDW SWITCH NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, AND LDW AND FCW STOP WORKING. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE BUT YOU CAN TELL ALL ELECTRONICS ARE EXPERIENCING A DELAY OR ISSUE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NAVI AND RADIO. SOME OF THE LIGHTS GO AWAY AND COME BACK AS YOU DRIVE, AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FCW AND LDW WITH THE "FCW SYSTEM FAILURE" MESSAGE WHICH REMAIN, THAT GOES AWAY AFTER A FEW HOURS.

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TODAY I GOT A BLINKING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT LOOKED LIKE A BATTERY. I LOOKED IT UP IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND IT SAID "BATTERY NOT CHARGING" AND TO "CONTACT THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIRS". I'LL CALL THEM TOMORROW. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO GET IT JUMPED AND LATER TOOK IT IN. THEY REPLACED AN UNDER DASH RELAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN OK OTHERWISE.

I GOT OFF WORK AND THE HORN WAS HONKING. IT HAD BEEN HONKING SO LONG THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AND THEN WHEN SOMEONE JUMP STARTED IT AND I STARTED TO DRIVE OFF, IT HONKED SOME MORE. A FEW MINUTES LATER ENTERING THE FREEWAY IT STARTED HONKING ONCE AGAIN! EACH TIME THE HONKING STOPPED WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL. 3 TIMES IN ONE MORNING IT HONKED AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED THE WHEEL. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE THE HONKING COMES AND GOES ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. BUT THIS LATEST INCIDENT HAS BEEN THE WORST BY FAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE FELLA BEHIND ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM..HE CALLED IT RANDOM HONKING. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE PARKED IN AN PLAZA ON PEMBROKE ROAD AT THE BEGINNING ON MARCH 2015. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN X 2 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (ENGINE RUNNING) ON SEPARATE DAYS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ALONG PINES BOULEVARD IN PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC (TUESDAY APRIL 21ST 2015), AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION OF HIATUS ROAD AND PINES BOULEVARD, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE THEN SHUT DOWN/STALLED AGAIN. THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A RED LIGHT HELPED TO PREVENT AND ACCIDENT, AS EVERYONE DRIVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION HAD TO STOP. THIS TIME I HAD TO CALL FOR A POLICE CRUISER TO STAND IN PLACE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET A TOW OR GET IT STARTED AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AGAIN AND MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 22, 2015. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY (4-23-2015), FUEL PUMP (4-24-2015) THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS AND IS NOW GETTING MORE FREQUENT. THEY (AUTONATION HONDA IN MIAMI LAKES) HAVE BEEN TRYING TO 'FIX' THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET SUCCEEDED. TODAY IS MAY 3RD 2015 I AM ASKING THAT THE NTSB LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE, AS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC, THIS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FCW LIGHTS SOMES ON SOME TIME FOR NOTHING,, NOISE FROM BEHIND AND UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING UP AND ABOUT TO PUT IN PARK. AND SOME TIMES WHEN BACKING UP. THE FCW DEFAULTS. OVERALL THIS IS NOT A GOOD RUNNING OR PERFORMANCE CAR. EVERYTIME YOU BRING IT TO THE SHOP THE SERVICEMEN SAID I SORRY BUT THAT IS NORMAL WHEN THEY CAN NOT FIX OR KNOW HOW TO FIX SOMETHING IT IS EASY FOR THEM TO SAY I SORRY THAT IS NORMAL OR YOU GOT TO BRING IT TO THE SHOP WHEN IT IS ACTING UP AT THE TIME. I TOLD THEM THAT IS HARD TO DO IT MAY NOT BE DOING IT WHEN IT IS THERE AT THAT TIME. BUT I THOUGHT THAT WHAT THE MACHINES WERE FOR TO FIND THE PROBLEMS. THE APPEARANCE IS GOOD BUT THE PERFORMANCE IS BAD. HAD THE CAR SEAL FOR BUGS PAID OVER 700.00 THEY DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB OR DID NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE PAID FOR AT ALL. BUGS ARE HARD TO COME OFF OF THE VEHICLE.MAY BE OTHER PROBLEMS BUT THIS IS A FEW THAT COMES TO MIND AT THIS TIME. THE BIGGEST THING IS THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATION AND SUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON OCTOBER 9 2013 I HAD GOTTEN UP TO GO TO WORK, AS I GOT UP TO GO TO WORK THAT MORNING I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT. DID NOT MOVE UP WARD. I STARTED TO DRIVE TO WORK BUT I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY SEATING POSITION. SO AS I WENT TO READJUST THE SEAT THE WHO SEAT SLAMMED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. AND I FELT LIKE A LOWER WHIPLASH TO MY LOWER BACK AND SPINE. THE SEAT FELL BACK AS I WAS DRIVING AND ADJUSTING THE SEAT I ALSO TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC AND PERSON NEXT TO ME. I REGAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR BUT NOW I WAS SITTING ON THE LOWEST LEVEL OF THE SEATS POSITION. I PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY LOWER BACK WAS HURTING AND LOOKED AT THE SEAT. NOTHING HAD BEEN TAMPERED OR TOUCHED. I THEN MANUALLY PUT THE SEAT BACK INTO ITS UPPER POSITION SINCE IT NOW NO LONGER COULD ADJUST WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL. FORWARD, AND BACK AND DOWN YOU COULD STILL MOVE BUT UPWARD NO MORE. AGAIN GOT BACK IN MY CAR ONLY NOW TO JUST MOVE FORWARD A FEW MPH THE SEAT AGAIN FELL BACK DUE TO THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR AND GRAVITY. I TOOK THIS TO THE HONDA BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE TO SHOCKLEY HONDA ONLY FOR THEM TO SAY THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $120 TO JUST LOOK AT THE ISSUE. AND THEN TO TELL ME IT WILL TAKE $1200 TO FIX IT! SO SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN ONLY PROFIT. I SINCE HAVE TO PUT A BOX UNDER THE SEAT TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING BACK AND FROM HURTING MY BACK FURTHER MORE. BUT TIME TO TIME THE BOX MOVED AND THE SEAT CONTINUES TO SLIDE BACK AND FURTHER INJURY TO MY BACK OR IF NOT ADDRESS COULD CAUSE FURTHER INJURY TO OTHERS DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS STILL A CAR TO GET ME TO WORK. *TR

MY CENTER CONSOLE HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK. THE SCREEN ITSELF GETS STUCK IN REVERSE AND HAS NOW THE SIDE CAMERA HAS GOTTEN STUCK AS WELL. THE BLUETOOTH IS ALSO MESSING UP AND THE USB MESSED UP MY PHONE. THERE IS SOMETHING MAJORLY WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN MY CAR. IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR AND THE RADIO WOULD SWITCH TO THE CD PLAYER AND I WOULDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING. THEN THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN WOULD GET STUCK AND NOW THE SIDE CAMERA AND NOW THE BLUETOOTH. I'M DONE! THIS IS MY 4TH ACCORD OUT OF 5 CARS. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT CARS AND THIS ISN'T RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE UPDATED IT AND SAID IT WOULD BE FIXED AND IT ISN'T. FIX THE THING OR LEMON LAW IT. IT'S GOING BACK INTO THE SHOP TONIGHT, SO LETS SEE! *TR

THE VEHICLE STEERING SIMPLY 'SHUT-DOWN', OR LOCKED-UP OUT OF NOWHERE. IT APPEARS THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM SIMPLY FAILED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING BY BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP IN ORDER TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT... AS THOUGH I WERE REBOOTING A CRASHED COMPUTER! THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF THREE TIMES THE NEXT DAY, ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED ON A PUBLIC STREET. WE RESOLVED TO STOP DRIVING IT, BUT BY REFLEX I TOOK IT OUT THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE DAY ONLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE RECUR TWICE, THANKFULLY NONE OF THESE FAILURES OCCURRED WHILE WE WERE EXECUTING A TURN, OTHERWISE WE MAY HAVE CRASHED INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE, AS SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS DESCRIBE. I HAVE NOW PUT THE VEHICLE INTO STORAGE UNTIL HONDA ADDRESSES THE ISSUE DEFINITIVELY, AS OTHERS DESCRIBE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSES ACROSS THE BOARD, WITH VIRTUALLY ALL ADMITTING THE ISSUE WAS UNRESOLVED, EVEN AFTER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DIAGNOSED COMPONENT(S). WHETHER I SIMPLY HAVE A LEMON, OR THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE IN THE MAKING, I DO NOT YET KNOW, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE RENDERING THE VEHICLE TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

ON JAN 24TH, 2013 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A PROBLEM WITH MY POWER STEERING. THE EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) SYSTEM INDICATOR CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND LOST POWER STEERING DURING THOSE TIMES. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM 3 TIMES. ON FEB 5TH, 2013 THE INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED. THEN ON AUG 21ST, 2014 THE POWER STEER PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HONDA TRIED AGAIN TO FIX THE INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING PROBLEM. ON AUG 22ND, I DROVE MY HONDA ACCORD OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO TURN AROUND AND BRING IT BACK BECAUSE THE CARS' EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AGAIN AND I LOST POWER STEERING DURING THAT TIME. I'M NOW WAITING TO SEE IF THE INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND AND FIXED. SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR THE SMART ENTRY SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT HAS TURNED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT AN ADVERSE EFFECT THAT I KNOW OF. I KNOW AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS HARD DIAGNOSE AND FIX BUT I'M STARTING HAVE LESS AND LESS CONFIDENCE IN HONDA THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURED MY CAR..UPDATED 11/03/14 *BF

WHILE DRIVING TO CHICAGO (2 HOURS AWAY) WITH MY WIFE AND 11 YEAR OLD MY MAINTENANCE MINDER LIGHT CAME ON TO TELL ME IT WAS TIME TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY I COULDN'T TAKE IT IN. I COULDN'T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL 7/16 TO GET IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. ON 7/16 I SAT IN MY CAR TO GO HOME, BUT MY DASH LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT UP. BRAKES, ELECTRIC STEERING, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, MY SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING AND MANY MORE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT OVER TO THEM ALTHOUGH I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND, MY BRAKES WERE SOFT AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY STIFF. I WENT VERY SLOW SINCE MY SPEEDOMETER OR MILEAGE WASN'T WORKING AT ALL. THE NEXT MORNING MY DEALER CALLED AND CLAIMED THAT A RODENT WAS THE CULPRIT WHO CHEWED ON SOME MAIN WIRING HARNESS OF THE ENTIRE CAR. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE WHY DIDN'T IT HAPPEN AFTER THE OIL LIGHT CAME 2 DAYS BEFORE? WHY DIDN'T MY WIFE'S SUV GET AFFECTED BY THIS? THIS IS A HUGE QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF ALL OF THESE LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY? *TR

FALSE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATION. HONDA ACCORD OWNED FOR 12 MONTHS, LESS THAN 12,000 MILES, I HAVE RECEIVED A LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATION FOR THE FOURTH TIME. THE PREVIOUS THREE TIMES, BEFORE TAKING MY ACCORD TO THE DEALERSHIP, I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE. ALL FOUR TIRE PRESSURES ARE WITHIN RECOMMENDED SETTINGS. AFTER RECEIVING MY VEHICLE AFTER SERVICE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTS ALL FOUR TIRE PRESSURES ARE LOW. THE LAST TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATES THE TIRES NEED TO BE RE-INFLATED EVERY 2 - 3 THOUSAND MILES. CONTINUED FALSE INDICATIONS IS AS MUCH AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE INDICATOR NOT WORKING AT ALL. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD REGARDING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A GARDEN NURSERY I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND IN ANYWAY, THE ENGINE THEN REVVED UP MAKING A LOUD NOISE, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD OVER SEVERAL RAILROAD TIE BARRIERS, BUSHES, HIT A TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED IN THE LOT AND CAME TO REST IN A MULCH PILE. LUCKILY THE TRUCK AND MULCH STOPPED THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN IT OFF. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND THE PROPERTY OF THE NURSERY. THIS HAPPENED ON MAY 8, 2014 AT 5:00 PM. IT WAS A GRAVEL PARKING LOT, DRY SUNNY DAY. THIS HONDA WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2013 AND IS A 4CYL WITH CVT TRANSMISSION AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT SITS NOW WAITING FOR A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. IT WAS A BLESSING THAT NO ONE WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF MY CAR. MUCH OF MY DECISION TO PURCHASE A HONDA WAS BECAUSE OF RELIABILITY AND SAFETY; HOWEVER, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS MY FIRST HONDA AND I AM THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND ALARMED AFTER THIS INCIDENT. *TR

OUR PREVIOUS CAR HAD A KEY AND IF I FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK, THE CAR COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF LETTING ME KNOW RIGHT AWAY WHAT I HAD DONE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS CERTAINLY HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A MAJOR FLAW TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEMS. *TR

TWO MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, THE NAVI WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE. THE NAVI WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, MARCH 3RD, THE BACK-UP CAMERA WENT DARK ON THE SCREEN; AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WORKED AGAIN. MAR 8-10TH, I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEMS. MAR 11TH, I WORKED FROM HOME; THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVED DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. THE VEHICLE KEYS REMAINED ON THE KITCHEN TABLE. TUESDAY, MAR 11TH, AT 3:00A.M. (SPOUSE MOVED HIS VEHICLE TO THE STREET) THE VEHICLE WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED. I REITERATE, THE KEYS WERE ON THE TABLE AND THE WINDOWS TO THE VEHICLE WERE ALL CLOSED. MAR 12TH, 7:00, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I NOTICED FIRST THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY ROLLED DOWN AND RAIN HAD POURED IN. WHEN I OPENED THE CAR DOOR, I WAS AMAZED TO SEE THAT ALL OF THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN AND THE SUN ROOF COMPLETELY OPEN. I'VE NEVER EVEN OPENED ALL THE WINDOWS AT THE SAME TIME SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR, ALL THE SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AND FDS FAILED WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR. I CALLED HONDA, INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS LATER INFORMED BY THE SERVICE ASSISTANT THAT BOTH BOXES (I'M GUESSING ELECTRICAL BOXES) HAD A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THEM, SHORTING OUT THE SYSTEM. HONDA IS SEEMINGLY COMFORTABLE WITH SHIFTING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, E.G., THAT I PROBABLY...LEFT THE WINDOWS OPEN, PRESSED ALL THREE BUTTONS ON THE AUTOMATIC KEY (DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD DO THIS) OR MAYBE HAD THE KEYS IN MY PURSE AND SOMETHING PUSHED ALL THREE BUTTONS SIMULTANEOUSLY. IN SHORT, THE WINDOW AS WELL AS WHO KNOWS OTHER PARTS WERE AFFECTED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

DEALER DID A RECALL UPDATE OF AUDIO SYSTEM IN MARCH 2013 TO REPAIR DEFECTS IN AUDIO SYSTEM. THIS UPDATE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO INTERFERE WITH THE CAR'S CELL PHONE BLUE TOOTH CONNECTION CAUSING LOSS OF PAIRING, LOSS OF SPEED DIALS, ETC. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HONDA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE REPEATEDLY. THE ONLY RESPONSE I GET IS THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. SPOKE TO HONDA ENGINEERING SEVERAL TIMES. THEY OFFERED TWO SUGGESTIONS WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY I SPOKE TO ENGINEERING AND THEIR SUGGESTION THIS TIME CONCERNS ME. I WAS TOLD THAT SHIFTING THE CAR OUT OF PARK BEFORE THE PHONE PAIRS SEEMS TO CAUSE THE PHONE FAILURE AND IF I DELAY UNTIL THE PHONES SYNCS THAT APPEARS TO BE AN REMEDY. WHEN I ASKED IF THIS WAS THE PERMANENT SOLUTION I WAS TOLD NO BUT NOW THEY KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL HAVE A FIX SOON. I AN CONCERNED BECAUSE WHAT WOULD SHIFTING OUT OF PARK HAVE TO DO WITH MY PHONE CONNECTING TO THE CAR. IF HONDA IS USING A SYSTEM THAT IS SO INTEGRATED THAT A FAILURE OF THE PHONE SYSTEM TIES IN WITH SHIFTING OUT OF PARK WHAT OTHER POTENTIAL FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE MARCH UPDATE OF A RADIO ? COULD THAT UPDATE ALSO AFFECT THE TRANSMISSION, ENGINE OR BRAKING SYSTEM? HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT MY PROBLEM, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, SINCE MARCH AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A SOLUTION SINCE THEN. COULD IT BE THE PROBLEM IS MORE SEVERE THEN HONDA WILL ADMIT? IN THE MEAN TIME I OWN A CAR WITH A DEFECT THAT IS UNSELLABLE AND ONE THAT COULD ALSO BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. MY FEAR IS THAT MANY CAR OWNERS WILL JUST WRITE OFF THIS SYSTEM FAILURE AS NO BIG DEAL AND WILL USE THEIR CAR PHONES MINUS THE HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH. IF SO THEY COULD BE DRIVING A CAR WHICH HAS BEEN IMPAIRED IN OTHER WAYS, POSSIBLY WITH A DEFECTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM THAT RESULTED FROM HONDA'S AUDIO UPDATE. *TR

THE SYSTEM ALERTS CAN BE SET FOR LONG, NORMAL OR SHORT. WHEN SET FOR LONG THE ALERT SHOULD COME ON ABOUT THREE CAR LENGTHS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD. IF THE SYSTEM DETERMINES A COLLISION IS POSSIBLE, IT SHOULD GIVE BOTH VISUAL & AUDIBLE ALERTS, INCLUDING A HEADS-UP WARNING THAT FLASHES ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE FCW SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AS IT IS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. IN FACT IT ONLY ALERTS @ RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE DEALERS TECHNICIAN CHECK IT OUT ON HIGHWAYS, MAIN STREETS & LOCAL STREETS. HE COULD ONLY GET THE SYSTEM TO GIVE AN ALERT ONCE WHEN THE CAR AHEAD WAS STANDING AT A RED LIGHT. THE ALERT CAME WHEN WE WERE ABOUT ONE CAR LENGTH AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD.
