2013 HONDA ACCORD Power Train Problems

My driver side cv axle snapped in half as I was reversing my vehicle onto my parking pad, as a result of a failure from manufacturing, the roads were treated in my area from snow we had gotten a day prior. I have always lived in a salt belt state PA and this vehicle was originally offered and sold in a salt belt state from New Jersey. NEVER had this happen to any of my vehicles, there was no warning, no dash lights anything no sounds prior to. Had I'd been driving to work I would've been killed and potentially someone else could've been seriously injured or killed! Honda needs to extend their "recall" because there are surely a lot more vehicles affected than they like to admit. My mechanic came and showed me exactly what happened the axle rod snapped right in the middle and he told me he's had to replace a countless amount of them on my same vehicle because they all break in that spot due to a manufacture failure and he told me I needed to look Into the recall!

The vehicle has a recall for drive axile still showing status as pending, We took the car to the dealer to check on that and also complained about noise during acceleration. On inspection the dealer at Valley honda, Naperville found that the drive axile is the problem. But they said it has nothing to do with the recall, it is because someone else tried to repair it. I was told it is very unsafe to drive. Still we drove it back home, I inspected the axile I could notice so must rust on the axiles and in the shaft, that they can't claim ithe rust is because of the othet repairs performed!. There was also visible fluid leak coming out of the boot area of the axile, because of the rust. The dealership is.just trying to avoid the axile repair and citing other repairs performed as an invalid reason. Please help soon.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while attempting to complete a left turn, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to coast into a nearby parking lot, where the failure persisted. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with failures with the driveshaft and steering gearbox. The driveshaft was repaired at that time. The contact stated that while leaving the independent mechanic at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly veered to the left, prompting the contact to immediately return the vehicle to the independent mechanic. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the steering gearbox. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 160,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact received an NHTSA recall email alert for NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V422000 (POWER TRAIN). After contacting the dealer, who confirmed the VIN inclusion in the recall, an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, upon inspection, the dealer determined that the driveshaft did not require replacement. The contact disagreed with the assessment, stating that the driveshaft was visibly corroded. The contact had taken pictures both before and after the appointment. Despite waiting at the dealer for over two hours, no work was performed on the vehicle. The contact notified the manufacturer about the decision of the dealer not to replace the driveshaft. The manufacturer opened a case and stated that a regional technician would be contacted. The contact sent photos to the manufacturer's case associate, who then communicated with both the dealer and the regional technician and confirmed the dealer's initial assessment that the driveshaft did not need to be replaced. The failure mileage was 53,456.

Mileage: 53,456

See attached document for complaint. I took my 2013 Honda Accord in to my Honda Dealership due to leakage. I was informed the leak was in the intermediate drive shaft that was not under recall. Part Number: H,44500-T2A-A00 (Shaft Assy) Part Total : $871.38 I researched Honda recalls and found an article dated December15, 2020 that Honda was conducting 2 drive shaft recalls for 2013-2015 Honda Accords in 22 states where salt is used to clear roads during the winter. This included Michigan. The article (enclosed) stated the drive shafts can break due to corrosion and the right and left drive shafts were to be replaced. I did not receive any recall notice for this drive shaft problem until I took my car in for a leak inspection and I was then verbally informed of a drive shaft recall.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that in May 2022, the vehicle experienced drive shaft failure. The contact stated the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with drive shaft failure. The contact was informed of an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact was informed that the drive shaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and the contact was provided a discount for the repair. The contact later received the recall notification NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V422000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was contacted regarding the reimbursement of the cost of the repair.

I took my 2013 Accord to the dealership to inspect the driveshaft under the recall for the driveshaft . They determined that it did not need to be replaced. I believe the only reason it does not need replaced at this time is because of the very low mileage. Living in Pennsylvania , there is a great deal of de-icing / salt used here and it is only a matter of time before this becomes an extremely dangerous situation. Honda should be required to replace these driveshafts as they admit this is due to improper manufacturing and a protective coating that may degrade over time. I believe that I am being put in danger just because of the low mileage and how clean I keep this car. I asked the dealer and Honda Headquarters about if this degrades in the future and did not get an answer. We should NOT have to be put in danger because Honda apparently isn't required to replace these.

When pressing gas, vehicle mists and acts like it wants to power off while moving and trying to accelerate. Very dangerous in moving traffic.

I believe my vehicle should be included in a recall (Safety Recall: 2013-15 Accord Driveshaft Inspection) that it is not currently included in. This is a major safety concern that the recall may not include all affected vehicles including mine. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Right driveshaft snapped while I was driving rendering the vehicle without propulsion, as well as allowing the vehicle to roll while in Park How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This occurred while I was driving and I lost the ability to move the vehicle. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes the Honda dealership confirmed the driveshaft snapped. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have a picture of the snapped driveshaft and the Honda dealership inspected it and provided me with a description of the issue. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

I was stopped at a stop light. The light turned green and I started to go. My car had a major issue and was stuck in traffic. I had to push the vehicle out of traffic with the assistance of the Police Department. My vehicle was not operable. After an investigation into the issue, the Driver front axle broke in in half. No lights or prior indicators existed before the incident. Repairs have been made and this issue has caused damage to the other axle. Both have been replaced by authorized repair shops. I continue to have a “wobbling” issue while accelerating. I did go to a Honda dealership for the balance issue. They did say it is common for the axle to break and there was a recall for my Make/ Model and Year that I did not qualify for. Paperwork is attached. I have children and if my children were in my vehicle with me and I was on the highway this incident could have led to serious physical injury or death. There is a current recall which my vehicle doesn’t apply for. I believe my vehicle should apply. A news article from Honda shown to me by a Honda Dealership rep is attached as well as invoices.

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.

On [XXX], my CV axle broke. I was stopped at a stoplight and when the light turned green, I stepped on the accelerator, then heard a VERY loud “clunk” and my car didn’t move. I shifted into all of the other gears, but it didn’t move. I shifted it into Park and called AAA. They dispatched a tow truck driver, who arrived about 45 minutes later. He engaged the emergency brake, after checking under the car and informing me that the driver’s side CV axle had broken, which prevents the car from actually being able to shift into Park. He towed the car to an independent mechanic. Both the tow truck driver and the mechanic said it’s quite uncommon for a CV axle to break. I was about 1/2 mile from getting on the freeway and luckily I didn’t make it that far, because it could have been much worse during rush hour traffic. As it was, I was blocking a lane of traffic at the stoplight. I have both pieces of the driver’s side CV axle in my possession. No one other than the tow truck driver and mechanic have inspected it, yet. I had no warning at all that the axle was about to break. While doing some online research to find out the likelihood of the passenger side CV axle breaking, I came across a recall notice for the drive shaft of certain 2013-2015 Accords in salt belt states. My VIN search showed that my car wasn’t part of this recall and a call to a Honda dealer confirmed this. I’m puzzled, since we live in Wisconsin. Might the recall need to be expanded?

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

Our 2013 Honda Accord driveshaft fractured completely under a low condition when accelerating from a stop straight into a busy intersection. As a result, with the drive train now disabled I had just enough motion to coast a couple of car lengths, across the adjacent gap in the turning lane traffic, to the side of the road stopping adjacent to the curb halfway around the corner. As the corner was heavily traveled by semi-trailer traffic, I needed to get corner cleared as soon as possible to avoid causing an additional traffic hazard. Fortunately, there were those who stopped to help push the car up a hill and clear the way for other vehicles attempting to negotiate the corner. I currently have the defective part in my possession. Due to the location in a busy intersection other including myself were at risk trying to clear the roadway. The repair shop mechanic inspected the failed drive shaft as well as my local Honda service manager. I found afterwards that there is a known recall on component (Part 573 Safety Recall Report [XXX]) for a defect that causes rusting of this component. I was not made aware of the this recall. The recall appears however to be limited to certain states due to their road de-icing/salting policies. Our state of South Dakota was not among them. This prevented owners (and I assume dealers) in our state (South Dakota) from getting any advanced warning of the possible safety hazard. Also, no instrumentation on the vehicle or changes in driving performance can warn you of this impending failure. In my view this defect should have been made know to all owners of 2013 Honda accord and certainly in states such as South Dakota, as even the mud that accumulates on the vehicles drivetrain from the miles driven on unpaved roads can be even more detrimental to improperly protected metal parts, such as this drive shaft.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that upon shifting the vehicle to drive with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle suddenly jolted forward. Later, while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to decelerate, the vehicle suddenly downshifted, losing motive power. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who was able to diagnose the failure, but the contact was unable to recall the diagnostic result. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000.

When driving, the car's steering will jerk sporadically. It is also incredibly hard to turn the wheel. The inspection by the Honda Dealer has proven that it is the power steering rack is faulty. Something has gone wrong and it is making the car dangerous to drive. My safety is at risk because if the car jerks suddenly, I will crash either into a structure or another vehicle likely resulting in death at high speeds. There is no warning light at all. This seems related to the formal safety probe open in May 2021 for 2013-2015 Honda Accords. I have been doing research and a LOT of people are posting about it online.

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)

Antilock brake system module failure/solenoid causing multiple engine light failure and transmission

I was backing my car out of my driveway. I put my car in drive and my driver side drive shaft snapped in half.

Good day on may 14, 2023. Driving on the highway in NYC and axle broke almost causing a major accident. My model car and year and also region is listed for a recall on the same part however my vin was not included.

The contact's son owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that upon depression of the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would intermittently shake without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer on multiple occasions; however, the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V769000 (Power Train) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. THE CONSUMER STATED TWO TIRES WERE THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATIONS. TWO NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

All warning lights on the dashboard suddenly lit up one day. The car is in excellent condition with all recommended maintenance up-to-date and no accidents. Honda dealer said the VSA modulator needed to be replaced and quoted $1756 + tax for the repair. Parts are unavailable, so repairs cannot be made. Dealer admits this is a very common problem with Honda vehicles and suggests I do not worry about it and just keep driving the vehicle - even though safety features are all disabled and the car may not be safe to operate. An online search reveals this is a VERY common and known issue that Honda USA has failed to address.

Driveshaft failed at dynamic damper by metal breaking.

It happens at least twice a year for the past 8 years I’ve owned the car , the eps light comes on and it’s hard to steer my car, ive almost been in accidents every time this happens , there should be a recall on This issue and so thing should be done before someone or myself gets hurt

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.

I believe that my vehicle, a 2013 Honda Accord Sport CVT, should be included in this recent safety recall in regards to CV Axles that are at risk of excess rust/corrosion which left untreated could lead to a crash or injury. Safety recall in question (Service bulletin 20-125) - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCRIT-20V769-5506.pdf Honda of America refuses to look at my case because my VIN is not a part of the original recall. My local Honda dealership did let me know that this recall was issued only for vehicles sold in the Midwest because they are more susceptible to rust and corrosion. I originally purchased the vehicle in Florida (I'm the original owner) in October of 2012. I moved to Iowa in 2015 and am now experiencing the same problems as the safety recall in question. I've had my vehicle inspected by my local Honda dealership in Des Moines IA and they have confirmed that I'm showing the same symptoms as the recall that require a complete CV axle replacement. Because my VIN number was not included in this recall, they are unable to perform any repairs. I've called Honda of America and because of my VIN, they also refuse to even look at my case even though I now live in an area that uses a high volume of salt on the roads during the wintertime. I believe that I am not the only one and others could be at risk if they also moved to an area with a high volume of salt on the roads. I’m concerned about driving my vehicle anywhere because I know that my CV axles are at risk of breaking under load.

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.

TSB 13-053 has not been honored, no notice was sent recently made aware due to CVT juddering/shaking issues. Needs Throttle Body Replaced and updated software for optimum performance. Noticble mostly start stop or under 15mph.

Drivers-side CV Axle Broke on 9/8/2021. Lost all drive power on residential street while backing out a driveway. No accident occurred.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE DASH ON THE CAR DISPLAYED A "START STOP" ERROR. THEN, THERE WAS MUCH LESS HORSEPOWER. I AM GUESSING THERE WAS BETWEEN 10 AND 20 HORSE POWER. THE CAR COULD BARELY GO 20 MILES PER HOUR. THEN, THE DASH SAID, STOP THE CAR. YOUR CAR IS OVER HEATING. SO, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND STOPPED THE CAR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL SIDE STREET. WHERE I LIVE, SOME SECTIONS OF FREEWAY ARE 12 AND 16 LANES WIDE. IF I HAD LOST POWER IN THIS SITUATION, I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE WATER PUMP ON MY MODEL CAR WAS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL.

MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS VERY LOW SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. PRIOR TO THIS MY BROTHER DROVE MY CAR AND SAID IT WAS NOT GOING INTO GEARS SMOOTHLY. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID CAN MAKE THE CAR RUN NOT TOO SMOOTH. HE DID MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A NOTICE FOR A FOUL SPARK PLUG AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND IF THE PROBLEM DOESN'T FIX ITSELF THEN TO BRING IT BACK IN SO THEY CAN LOOK FURTHER INTO THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS IF I HAVE A RECALL AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS THAT COULD BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY SPARK PLUG SHOULDN'T THEY AUTOMATICALLY BRING MY CAR IN AND REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS? ON YOUR SITE IT APPEARS THAT I HAVE HAD TWO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. NOT ONCE HAVE I BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS NEW TO ME. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROCESS. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME SOME GUIDANCE? THANK YOU, CONCERNED CUSTOMER *TR

TWO WEEKS AGO, MY STEERING WHEEL PULLED LEFT QUICKLY AND THEN BACK. I THOUGHT I HIT A ROCK. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS SAME ISSUE. YESTERDAY, PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. READ THE BOOK. RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT WENT AWAY. TODAY, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5 MINUTES INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. STEERING WHEEL FROZE. RESTARTED AND OK. DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL STEERING WAS FROZEN. I AM TRAVELING, THEREFORE HAD TO FIND THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER. I AM NOW STRANDED FOR TWO DAYS AWAITING REPAIR. I'M 8 HOURS FROM HOME, AND NOW SUSPICIOUS AND WORRIED WHETHER I WILL RETURN HOME SAFELY. AFTER READING SOME ENTRIES, I TOO HAD SLOW MOVEMENTS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE -- THOUGHT IS WAS THE NEW CVS ENGINE.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2013 HONDA ACCORD, EX-L,. MY HONDA HAS 42K MILES. AT ABOUT 25K MILES MY ACCORD STARTED TO MAKE A VERY OBVIOUS AND DISTURBING DRONING/HUMMING NOISE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH. THE NOISE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER AS TIME WENT BY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER 2 TIMES AND ASKED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, TO NO AVAIL. AFTER HAVING NEW TIRES INSTALLED AT 42K MILES, AND THE DRONING NOISE WAS STILL OCCURRING, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER A THIRD TIME AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE NOISE PROBLEM AS COMING FROM A DEFECTIVE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING AND A DEFECTIVE REAR LEFT WHEEL BEARING. BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED ON JULY 27, 2016 AND THE DRONING NOISE ABOVE 40 MPH IS GONE. REPLACING THE WHEEL BEARINGS FIXED THE PROBLEM! THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED, AND HE STATED THAT THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHY/HOW THE BEARINGS FAILED EITHER. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA HQ ON AUGUST 1, 800-999-1009, AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA AMERICA WOULD NOT DISCLOSE THE DETAILS OF THE BEARING FAILURES. THEY ALSO DECLINED MY REQUEST TO AUTHORIZE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE REMAINING 2 WHEEL BEARINGS. HONDA AMERICA ESTABLISHED A CASE NUMBER FOR MY ISSUE, CASE # 04884545. DUE TO THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY FROM HONDA AMERICA AS TO THE CAUSE/RESOLUTION OF THE WHEEL BEARING FAILURES, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE UNDERLYING BEARING OR WHEEL STRUCTURE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED, AND THAT MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD WILL BE SUBJECTED TO FUTURE WHEEL BEARING FAILURES.

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.

I HAVE A 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT THAT IS ONLY 2.5 YEARS OLD WITH 40,318 MILES. THE VEHICLE KEPT HESITATING TO START FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I WOULD PLAY WITH KEY AND THEN IT WOULD START. ON SUNDAY, I STOPPED VEHICLE TO PUT GAS. THEN IT DIDN'T START. I BROUGHT BATTERY TO AUTO ZONE AND IT WAS FINE. I CALLED HONDA ROAD HAZARD TO HAVE TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY PUT ON DIAGNOSTIC AND IT WAS A BAD STARTER. THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ENDED. THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED. THE PARTS AND LABOR WERE $896.34 TO FIX. I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED BILL FOR TOW THAT WASN'T COVERED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME REPAIR. THIS IS PRACTICALLY A NEW CAR WITH THIRTY MORE CAR PAYMENTS. HONDA USED TO BE RELIABLE. AT LEAST IT KILLED IN A GAS STATION WITH PEOPLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN DARK PARKING LOT. IT WAS LATE IN AFTERNOON AND THE TOW TOOK OVER 45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE. A NEW CAR SHOULD START.

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!!

IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND AGAIN IN JANUARY 2016 I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MOVE INTO A PARKING SPACE (ONCE IN A PARKING LOT AND ANOTHER ON A SIDE STREET) WHEN MY CAR HAD A SUDDEN JOLT OF POWER. FORTUNATELY, BECAUSE I WAS GOING AT A SLOWER SPEED I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKE AND COME TO A STOP, BUT BOTH TIMES IT WAS WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE JOLT WAS SUDDEN AND IS NOT THE SAME SURGE OF POWER ONE FEELS IF YOU STEP HEAVY ON THE GAS PEDAL.

AFTER MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH CVT TRANSMISSION SITS FOR AWHILE (1- 2 DAYS) WITHOUT BEING MOVED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS IN REVERSE OR NEUTRAL. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THE CAR WILL MOVE, BUT VERY SLOWLY ALTHOUGH THE RPMS ARE HIGH. THE CAR IS FINE AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE. MY CAR NOW HAS 45,000 MILES BUT IT HAS HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE 30,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID "IT IS AT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." I ALSO CALLED THE HONDA HOTLINE, BUT THEY COULD OR WOULD NOT HELP. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. MY TOWN ONLY HAS ONE DEALERSHIP; SO, I GUESS I'M OUT OF LUCK. DON'T BUY A HONDA WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION.

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

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FINE UP TO 9,205 MILES. WE HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BACK THREE TIMES TO OUR HONDA DEALER INCLUDING THIS ORIGINAL DATE FOR SHUTTERING, JERKING, VIBRATION,LAGGING AND LOSS OF POWER 0-25 M.P.H. WORSE WITH A/C OR ECON BUTTON ON AS WELL. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, TRANSMISSION JUMPED OUT OF GEAR THEN REVS OUT THEN GOES BACK INTO GEAR, THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED ONCE ON DECELERATION INTO A RESIDENTIAL TURN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER OUR LAST VISIT TO DEALER IN JULY 2015. VIBRATION SEEMS FROM DRIVE LINE IN GEAR AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL BY DEALER. THESE ISSUES I FEEL ARE NOT NORMAL. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR IN TRAFFIC AND ARE UNSETTLING BECAUSE WE ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE DAY FOR THE CAR NOT TO RESPOND CORRECTLY WHEN THROTTLE IS PUSHED AND A REAR END COLLISION TO OCCUR OR CROSSING AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THROTTLE RESPONSE, SHUTTERING, JERKING AND LAGGING IN POWER OR EVEN HAVE AN ISSUE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION.AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 55 M.P.H PROBLEMS WITH SHUTTERING AND LAGGING NOT PRESENT. ON 8-8-2014 THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT WAS MADE TO MY HONDA DEALER FOR THESE ISSUES. WE WERE TOLD BY DEALER ON THAT DATE THAT AN UPDATE HAD TO BE PERFORMED FOR TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY, P.C.M UPDATE, AND NEW C.V.T FLUID, THE UPDATE WAS TSB-013-053. WE RESCHEDULED FOR 9-6-2014 AND THE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED( MILEAGE AT THAT TIME 10,031). THIS UPDATE REALLY NEVER SOLVED THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT HONDA DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT. SEEMS LIKE SERVICE ADVISERS (WHO HAVE BEEN COURTEOUS) ARE BEING COACHED IN WHAT TO SAY TO CUSTOMERS WITH THEIR UNDERLYING ISSUES SO THAT THE PROBLEMS CAN BE PUT OFF POSSIBLY PAST WARRANTY SO THAT THEY CAN CONTEND WITH OTHER MAJOR COST INDUCING RECALLS OR T.S.B'S LIKE AIR BAGS TO CONTEND WITH.

FOR OVER A WEEK MY 2013 HONDA SPORT HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. I WAS THINKING THIS WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND IN SPEAKING WITH MY COUSIN WHO HAS SAME VEHICLE HE SAID HIS DID THE SAME AND IT WAS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WITH THE CVT. SO I FELT OK UNTIL WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14TH I WENT TO LEAVE WORK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD 2 PEOPLE TRY AND JUMP ME NOTHING. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO BROWN'S HONDA IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. THE NEXT DAY I GOT A CALL SAYING THAT MY STARTER HAD GONE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $879 TO REPLACE IT. THE PART ALONE WAS $430 GIVE OR TAKE. I DID NOT HAVE THAT KINDA OF MONEY FOR I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN AND THE GUY FOUND USED PART OF A 2013 HONDA THAT HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK HIM ALL OF AN HOUR TO PUT IT ON. CHARGED $50 FOR LABOR AND PART WAS HAVE THE PRICE. HE SHOWED ME THAT PART THAT HE RETURNED TO ME AND SAID IT WAS DEFECTED. HE EVEN WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA ON MY BEHALF AS WELL. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS MY CAR HAS YET TO EVEN SEE IT'S 3RD BIRTHDAY! ALSO MY BACKUP CAMERA TENDS TO GO OUT AS WELL. LIKE WHEN A TV MESSES UP AND GETS STATIC. *TR

05/25/14 WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY I NOTICED THE A THUMPING SOUND AND A JERKING FROM THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED GREAT ALARM FROM ME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE KEPT IT FOR ABOUT A DAY AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING TO A NEW VEHICLE, THAT THE NOISE AND JERKING WAS JUST THE WAY IT WAS. THEY CALLED IT A HARD SHIFT. MY CAR IS NOT A DAILY DRIVEN VEHICLE BEING I HAVE TWO OTHER CARS THAT I PRIMARILY USE. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT MY CAR HAD APROX. 303 MILES ON IT. NOW SEVERAL MONTHS LATER ON 01/01/15 WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND BEING THAT I HAD ALREADY TAKEN IT ONCE TO THE DEALER AND THEM TELLING ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, I HAD NO SECOND THOUGHT OF TAKING IT OUT ON THE ROAD. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN MY RESIDENTIAL STREET AND REALIZED I HAD FORGOT SOMETHING AT HOME. SO ON THE RESIDENTIAL INTERSECTION I STARTED TO MAKE A U TURN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING CUT OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN. I NARROWLY MISSED ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND STOPPED RIGHT BEFORE I HIT THE CURB AND A PARKED CAR. WHEN I DID STOP AND GOT MY COMPOSURE BACK I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS A STEERING WHEEL LIGHT ON AND A BUZZING NOISE. ALL THIS WHILE GOING NO MORE THEN 6 MILES AND HOUR. AT THIS CURRENT MOMENT MY CAR IS LESS THEN 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THEN 400 MILES ON IT AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO SUCH A NEW CAR WITH SO LITTLE MILES ON IT. FOLLOWING THIS INCIDENT I GOOGLED MY CAR TO SEE IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND LORD BEHOLD I WAS NOT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE SOME RESULTING IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. BUT MOST OF THE CARS IN THOSE INCIDENTS THAT I COULD SEE HAD ABOUT 20K TO 30K MILES ON THEM AND MINE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 1K ON IT YET. *TR

DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING (APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH) AND SQUEAKING NOISE WAS EMITTING FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. PRIOR TO THIS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT, ANTI LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, ANTI SKID WARNING LIGHT, ALL ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AT DCH HONDA, TEMECULA IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING WAS BROKEN / FALLING APART. IT WAS STATED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE BEARING WAS REPLACED AND THAT THIS WAS COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS NOTIFICATION (TECHNICAL BULLETINS, RECALLS) ON THIS ISSUE. DRIVERS BEWARE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT "PLAY" IN THE REAR WHEEL WHILE ATTACHED TO THE HUB. IF THE BEARING CAME COMPLETELY UNDONE, THE WHEEL COULD COME OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. IT HAPPENS IN BOTH REVERSE AND DRIVE. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE REVS REALLY HIGH (4,000 TO 5,000 RPM) BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVES AT ALL. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 20 - 30 SECONDS EVEN AFTER SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS PRETTY RANDOM (I.E. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME), BUT I HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. IF THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN ANGLE SUCH AS THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE SUCH AS IN SLOPED PARKING LOT, OR THE FRONT HIGHER THAN THE BACK ON AN INCLINE LIKE MY DRIVEWAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS SAFETY RELATED BECAUSE WITH THE ENGINE AT A VERY HIGH RPM IF THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY "KICKS IN" IT WOULD CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION - IMAGE A CAR UNEXPECTEDLY LUNGING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, OCCASIONALLY THE 2013 ACCORD CVT HAS A LOT OF DIFFICULTY MOVING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACTING UP, I HAVE TO PUSH THE THROTTLE OVER HALF WAY DOWN TO BACK THE CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. DEPENDING ON HOW COLD AND HOW LONG THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING, THIS MAY CONTINUE AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN PUSH THE THROTTLE HALF WAY OR ALMOST ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. SOMETIMES IF I ROCK IT BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE IT WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. THE PROBLEM RESOLVES AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BUT THE CAR IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT REQUIRES SO MUCH THROTTLE TO MOVE AT A SLOW SPEED. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND INTO LOWER GEAR, CAUSE VERY HIGH ENGINE REVS AND SHARP DECELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO RE-ENGAGE TRANSMISSION AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO NEAR STOP, SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, AND THEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I WAS ON AN URBAN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. FROM THEREAFTER, THIS WOULD RE-OCCUR PERIODICALLY AND GRADUALLY INCREASED IN FREQUENCY. *TR

THIS CAR HAS THE V6 ENGINE IN IT. I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE CAR HAD 6500 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AND SAID THEIR EXPERTS IN CALIFORNIA COULD NOT SEE IT ON THE COMPUTER DATA COLLECTED. OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MONTHS, I HAD IT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND FINALLY THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE ISSUE GOT CONSIDERABLE WORSE AFTER THAT. I BROUGHT IT BACK SEVERAL MORE TIMES, A TOTAL OF OVER 30 DAYS IN THEIR SHOP, AND THEY NOW SAY THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE CAR. THEY SAY THE VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM) SYSTEM IS PULSING AT 50 HZ TO SAVE FUEL AND THIS PULSING CAUSES A RESONANCE THAT I AM FEELING AND HEARING. THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THEM. THE VIBRATION AND NOISE NOW OCCURS AT ANY SPEED FROM 15 TO 60 MPH. IN MY EXPERIENCE, ANY MECHANICAL SYSTEM THAT HITS A RESONATE FREQUENCY EVENTUALLY FAILS. THE DEALER'S ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS THE WORST HE HAS EVER FELT OR HEARD BUT HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS THE CALIFORNIA BOYS APPROVE IT. HE SAID IF HE UNPLUGS THE VCM THE NOISE AND VIBRATION GO AWAY. THEY TOLD ME IF I PAID THEM $6500 THEY WOULD GIVE ME A NEW CAR. ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

THE TACHOMETER SHOWS INCREASED ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVES. AFTER ~ 30 SECONDS TRANSMISSION STARTS TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY (~ 3 - 4 TIMES PER MONTH). DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM (NOT SURPRISING GIVEN FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE) AND CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION AND WHETHER THIS PROBLEM WILL MANIFEST ITSELF IN A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JS

FIRST INCIDENT WAS APPROX IN AUG, 2013. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ACCELERATING AT 36-40 MPH, CAR STARTING SHUDDERING AND LUNGING FORWARD, LOUD NOISE COMING FROM CAR AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. SLOWING DOWN DIDN'T HELP- IT MADE IT SHUDDER MORE. PULLED OFF ROAD THINKING, MAYBE A FLAT TIRE? I STOPPED THE CAR CHECKED AND NOTHING.I WAS SHAKEN UP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS JERKING AND SHUDDERING AND YOU COULDN'T CONTROL IT.I LET IT SIT, WHILE DRIVING HOME, IT HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 50. IT THEN SHUDDERED AS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WHEN YOU TOOK YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, LET IT COAST TO A STOP W/O APPLYING THE BRAKES. TRYING TO ACCELERATE, IT WAS VERY SLUGGISH, THEN IT KICKED IN AND TOOK OFF. AS IF THE A/C WAS ON, STRAINING THE ENGINE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND OF COURSE, COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. THEY INSISTED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND IT WAS JUST SOME ODD INCIDENT. I KNOW WHAT THE CAR DID. I DROVE IT FOR ALMOST A YEAR, EXPERIENCING THIS OFF AND ON BUT NOT TO THAT DEGREE THE FIRST TIME, WITH THE SHUDDERING WHEN YOU SLOWED DOWN AND THE LACK OF ACCELERATION AND THEN THE "KICK IN"... IT GOT PRETTY BAD IN THE MID PART OF JULY, 2014. THIS WAS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THE LACK OF ACCELERATION - BIG PROBLEM WITH EXPRESSWAY DRIVING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY INDICATED A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED. THEY ORDERED A KIT (VALVE?) AND REPLACED THE HARDWARE AND ADJUSTED THE SOFTWARE PER THE RECOMMENDATION OF HONDA.IT SEEMED TO BE FIXED, FOR FIVE DAYS. IT STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY, I COULD BARELY GET TO 70 MPH IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. DANGEROUS! I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN 10 DAYS LATER AND TOLD THEM IT WASN'T FIXED. THE HEAD SERVICE TECH DROVE IT, WONT DUPLICATE. THEY ARE TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT. I'M CONCERNED THAT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR WITH THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION.

PROBLEM BEGAN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW ACCORD EX V-6 COUPE. ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING (E.G. HAVEN'T DRIVEN SINCE THE PRIOR AFTERNOON/EVENING), THE VEHICLE WILL STUTTER WHEN TRANSITIVITY FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR.

INITIALLY CAR DROVE FINE AND I DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS. OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS I STARTED EXPERIENCING HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDSTILL POSITION I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BOARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD MOVE. THE HESITATION MAY LAST APPROX 5 TO 8 SECONDS & THEN JERKINGLY THE CAR WOULD GET INTO PROPER GEAR TO MOVE FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED A KIT ON IT A LEAST TWICE WHICH INITIALLY SEEMED TO HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. ON JUNE 14TH, JUST BEFORE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING AT ABOUT 40MPH & CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN A QUICK FORWARD JERKING MOTION & NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH. WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED THE JERKING MOTION WOULD DECLINE AS SPEED DECLINED. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR WE WENT OUT ON THE ROAD BUT THE PROBLEM NEVER MANIFESTED ITSELF. THEY'VE KEPT THE CAR TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT?S GOING ON. MEANWHILE I AM CAR-LESS. THE CAR IS NO OLDER THAN 16 MONTHS AND I'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY SINCE APRIL AND THEY KEEP SAYING, IT'S NORMAL OR NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN THEY DRIVE OR HOOK IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTERS OR WE CAN'T DIAGNOSE OR FIX A PROBLEM THAT ISN'T HAPPENING WHEN WE DRIVE THE CAR. THE SUPERVISOR FURTHER STATED THAT EVEN IF SOMEONE FROM HONDA HEADQUARTERS CAME THEY WOULD SAY THE SAME THING IF NOTHING HAPPENED AND WOULD GIVE THE KEY BACK TO THEM BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIX A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T MANIFEST. I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HONDA NEED TO FIX IT. HONDA KNOWS THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WITH THE INSERTION OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THEIR 2013 ACCORD. WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO FIX IT?

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSIONS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, RIGHT FROM THE START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE TRANSMISSION HAD A BAD SHUDDER AT TIMES, AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHERE THERE WAS NO ENGAGEMENT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND INSTALLED A KIT IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH ONLY SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. IT ALSO CREATED A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION AS A SEAL WASN'T PROPERLY INSTALLED. A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE SHUDDER AND STALLED WERE NORMAL. HOWEVER, THE DEALER RODE WITH THE CONSUMER, AND STATED PERHAPS, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER GETTING NO SATISFACTION FROM ANYONE, THE CONSUMER TRADED THE VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 10, 2014. *JB

WHEN YOU COME TO A ROLLING STOP THEN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE IT WILL ACCELERATE. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAYS THIS IS COMMON IN ALL 2013 ACCORDS. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. *TT

AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR SIGN, ACCELERATING FROM THE STOP RESULTS IN A SUDDEN JOLT (JERK) FORWARD. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN OR IT'S YOUR TURN TO GO, SLOWLY PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE. INSTINCTIVELY YOU PRESS A LITTLE MORE. AS THIS IS OCCURRING, THE RPM WILL STEADILY INCREASE, BUT AGAIN NO FORWARD MOVEMENT OCCURS. AT SOME POINT, TYPICALLY AROUND 2500-3000 RPM'S, THE TRANSMISSION GRABS (KICKS-IN) AND SUDDENLY HURLS YOU FORWARD. THE JOLT CAN BE SO SEVERE THAT YOU TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I OWNED THE CAR 8 MONTHS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING. NOW IT OCCURS ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. THE HONDA DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL - IT IS UNSAFE. *TR

AFTER ACCORD EX-L WITH 2.4L ENGINE & CVT SITS OVERNIGHT IN GARAGE IT DOES NOT BACK OUT NORMALLY. MUST PRESS ACCELERATOR TO GET MOVEMENT. NORMAL JUST TAKING FOOT OFF BRAKE & VEHICLE TO ROLL OUT ON OWN. PRESS ACCELERATOR TO GET CAR TO GO, RPM'S INCREASE & TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE SLIPPING WHEN BACKING INTO THE STREET. SHIFT TO DRIVE & CVT SLIPS UNTIL TRAVEL ~100 FEET. THEN CVT SEEMS TO RESPOND NORMALLY TO ACCELERATOR. WE HAVE TO BACK INTO STREET WITH BLIND HILL SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALER FOR THIS SPORADIC, RECURRING PROBLEM ON 4/16/13, ON 11/12/13 & LEFT W/ DEALER FOR FEW DAYS & ON 02/10/14 & LEFT W/ DEALER 9 DAYS. CAR WAS DRIVEN BY SERVICE PERSONNEL & SERVICE MGR. THEY COULD NOT GET CAR TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I OPENED CASE W/ HONDA IN CA ON 02/07/2014 AND DISCUSSED W/ THEIR REP, [XXX] OPENED CASE NO. [XXX]. AS DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, [XXX] CLOSED CASE &SAID HONDA WOULD KEEP ON FILE & REOPEN IF NECESSARY. [XXX] SAID HE HAD CHECKED WITH THEIR ENGINEERS & CLAIMED THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS ISSUE WITH ACCORD. IF ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WERE CLOSED WHEN THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM IT MAKES SENSE THEY HAVE "NO RECORD" OF PROBLEM. ALSO SEEMS VERY CONVENIENT TO FALL BACK ON "NO RECORD" AND "COULDN'T DUPLICATE" EXCUSES TO RELIEVE HONDA OF ANY LIABILITY FOR WHAT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT. MY WIFE ALSO HAD SAME PROBLEM. INTERNET SEARCH YIELDS SITES THAT REFERENCE SAME PROBLEM IN 2013 ACCORDS. CARCOMPLAINTS.COM 5 COMPLAINTS LISTED FOR CVT SLIPPING. EDMUNDS.COM FORUM SECTION ON ACCORD HAS A REPORT OF OWNER OF 2013 ACCORD WHO GOT CVT TO "SLIP" W/ THE SVC MGR WITH HIM. OWNER SAID HE & MGR TOOK A BRAND NEW ACCORD OFF LOT & DUPLICATED PROBLEM. YET WHEN SVC DEPT PUT HIS ACCORD ON COMPUTER IT WOULD NOT SHOW A CODE SO SVC MGR TOLD HIM IT WAS "NORMAL". SAME AS I WAS TOLD. MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I JUST RECOMMENDED TWO OF MY RELATIVES TO BUY TOYOTA, THEY ARE QUICK AT RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEFORE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND REMOVING HIS FOOT OFF THE GASOLINE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFT. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER AND THE DEFECTS WERE NOT DUPLICATED. NONE OF THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5000.

AS MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, I LOST ALMOST ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE, AND IT BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY TIRE WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED HAD A CAR BEEN FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND. ONCE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, A BURNING ODOR COULD BE SMELLED BY ALL 4 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TIRES. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS WHICH ARE PENDING. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE NEW "CVT" TRANSMISSION, AND I SUSPECT THIS MAY BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE. *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION DEFECT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION, WHICH CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. SPECIFICALLY, IN SOME LOW SPEEDS SITUATIONS, THE VEHICLE LACKED IMMEDIATE RESPONSIVENESS NEEDED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A TIGHT AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE SITUATION. THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. THEREFORE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY FIX AND ONLY DESCRIBED IT AS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. *JB

AT 11:00 A.M. ON NOV.6 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD. I PULLED INTO A STORE PARKING AREA AT ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TURNED TO ENTER THE PARKING SPACE WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HEARD THE CAR REV-UP AND PUSHED ON THE BRAKE MORE. THE REVVING STOPPED, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY. THE CAR MOVED OVER THE PARKING BARRIER AND HEADED FOR THE STORE WALL. IT BROKE THROUGH THE STORE WALL AND I PUSHED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND PUSHED THE BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE CAR STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. I WAS NOT HURT AND LEFT THE CAR TO LET THE OWNER OF THE STORE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. MY CAR HAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. *TR

ON COLD STARTS THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY FAILS TO DRIVE WITH FULL POWER. IS HAPPENING ABOUT 10 TIMES A MONTH. FEELS LIKE CAR OPERATES WITH ONLY 20% POWER & FEELS LIKE CVT TRANNY BELTS SLIPPING. THE ENGINE REVS UP, WHINES AND THE CAR BARELY MOVES. HONDA SAYS "THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT HAVE NO FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME." VEHICLE BOUGHT NEW, HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE 5-7 TIMES WITH VARIOUS HONDA REPAIR CENTERS KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR 25+ DAYS. HAVE DEALT WITH SERVICE PERSONNEL, MANAGERS, GENERAL MANAGERS AND REGIONAL MANAGERS. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS EXPENSIVE CAR IS BROKEN WHILE HONDA IS UNRESPONSIVE TO RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE STARTING AROUND 20 MPH TO A COMPLETE STOP, FREQUENTLY THERE IS A NOTICEABLE JERK TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. OTHER PEOPLE WHO DROVE THE CAR ALSO FELT THE JERK WHEN STOPPING. SOME PEOPLE ON TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM AND ON DRIVEACCORD.NET HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO ON THESE ONLINE FORUMS OTHER PEOPLE SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT THERE CAR RIDES SMOOTHLY. *TR

THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN I NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. IT FEELS AS IF THE ROTOR IS WARPED WHEN IT WANTS TO STOP THEN SUDDENLY JERKS FORWARD AS IF SOMETHING RELEASES. THIS IS PROBABLY A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAS A JUDDER SHAKING FEELING WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN COLD IT IS MORE SEVERE. WHEN HOT IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO LOW GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD. HAVE A CASE WITH HONDA, THEY SAID ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A FIX BUT I NEED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER SO THEY CAN DIAGNOSE. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK. THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE. THEY SAY HONDA TAC SAYS ITS NORMAL. ITS NOT NORMAL, FEELS LIKE GOING INTO LOCKUP TOO EARLY BUT WHO KNOWS ITS A CVT TRANS. MAN I SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THIS CAR. PICKED CAR UP FROM DEALER GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC AGAIN,,TRANSMISSION LUNGING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. STINKS!!!! *TR

THIS STARTED OFF AS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE (TWICE A DAY) UNTIL HONDA FLASHED AN UPDATE [A2A690] TO MY CAR. NOW IT'S INTERMITTENT AGAIN (ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK). THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPENS FROM A COLD START. THE ISSUE IS AFTER CRANKING MY CAR, WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR (REVERSE OR DRIVE) THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE. I CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S WILL SHOOT UP BUT THE MPH DOESN'T MOVE, IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, IF I DON'T LET OFF THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION WILL ABRUPTLY ENGAGE AND CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN THE PARKING GARAGE AT WORK AND THIS ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T DO THIS EVERY TIME I PUT MY CAR IN GEAR. I'VE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS FOR A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T EVER REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. HERE'S A LINK TO A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE WHEN I CAUGHT IT ON VIDEO. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MJ1QDYJXGTE&FEATURE=EM-UPLOAD_OWNER#ACTION=SHARE. *TR

TO STATE MY ACCORD TROUBLES, THE CAR JERKS/PULLS AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE. I AM A SOFT DRIVER AND I ACCELERATE/DECELERATE THE SAME AT ALL TIMES, THESE ARE THE SPEEDS A NOTICED IT MOST: @15MPH, THE CAR JERK/PULLS AND DECELERATES SIGNIFICANTLY. @ 5MPH, THE CAR JERKS/PULLS (VERY UNSMOOTH) BOTH WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING PAST 5MPH. I'M IN TRAFFIC MOST OF MY DRIVE SO HAVING THE CAR ROUGHLY DOWNSHIFTING/JERKING SUDDENLY MULTIPLE TIMES IN AT LOW SPEEDS IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING. I AM ALSO CONCERNED OF THE WEAR AND TEAR THIS MIGHT ENSUE ON THE ENGINE FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS HONDA PRODUCT, BUYER BEWARE! *TR
