2013 Honda Accord complaints

Steering has a mind of its own. Wanders lanes and driver has no control for several seconds. Have drifted into other lanes while trying to control / steer but no response. This lasts for just a brief time but it's extremely unnerving. Recently the car turned hard right with no notice. Luckily had both hands on the wheel and steering worked enough to pull left before I ran off road. Frankly, I am afraid to drive it. Took the car to local dealer yesterday. They ran diagnostics and test drove but found no issues with steering. I advised that I could not retrieve the vehicle late yesterday but would do so this morning. Several hours after that conversation, having heard that they found nothing wrong, the same rep called me and said "you can't drive this car". He relayed that technician was moving the car from the bay to the lot when the car took a hard right and nearly collided with another car parked in their lot. The tech brought the car back to the shop and up on the rack where they observed the car again make a hard right turn. No one was behind the wheel when this occurred. I just rcvd an estimate for repair ~ $3,700.00. Electronic power steering rack assembly accounts for $3,140.00 of this cost. Alignment & some other diagnostic costs take it up from there.

The 9th generation Honda Accord seemed to have a common issue with premature starter failure and excessive engine oil consumption. My starter failed at around 40k miles. I then noticed after a fresh oil change, and with 70% oil life remaining, my engine is bone dry with no oil and the only reason I checked was because of a low pressure warning light. I have complained to honda that this is not normal. There are no leaks whatsoever. To prevent engine damage, I have to fill in a quart of engine oil for every 1500 miles of driving. I have owned several honda's and never once had any issues like this. I even changed the pcv valve and that did not fix the issue. Honda knows about the excessive oil consumption and refused to issue a recall to replace the piston rings. Almost every 9th generation Honda Accord owner faces premature starter failure and excessive oil consumption. This is not normal and Honda is avoiding this issue and give customers like me the run around to perform compression test etc and adding engine oil for every 1000 miles of driving is normal. I have never heard of such thing unless you drive a high performance vehicle. I hope NHTSA will investigate and force Honda to issue a recall and compensate owners who had to pay out of pocket for premature starter failures.

Power steering shut down twice in two days. Orange warning light came on each time. Problem cleared after engine turned off for a minute or so, but returned after 20 further miles driving. Dealer verified there was an error code, said it would be covered under a warranty, and has kept the vehicle until repairs can be made. Dealer stated that there are many problems like this, and cannot yet give me a date when it will be repaired, or even a date by which they can give me that date!

On a clear, rural, dry blacktop county highway at approximately 10:00AM December 19,2018 while driving at 50 miles per hour I suddenly lost steering control of my 2013 Honda Accord. This was instantaneous causing car to move to the right. When I steered to the left the car over-corrected and drove into the left ditch. My effort to straighten the car caused it to hit the frozen ditch bank parallel to left side of car. Side air bags deployed and car came to rest in adjacent hay field. My T-12 vertebra was broken, among other injuries. Cost to repair the car was $8,802.16. I always thought this was my fault, but recently I have experienced strange and unsettling steering glitches with this car. My spouse has also recently mentioned that he has noticed steering glitches while driving this Honda Accord.

I had called up NHTSA earlier also to report the problem but they said - report that to Honda America. Nevertheless, I'm putting it here. My 2013 Honda Accord that had ~36000 miles on it gave me a hard time; as I was driving on the highway with my family; the power steering gave up, it became super heavy and I almost lost control of the vehicle. Luckily, I was able to get off the highway and save my family. Off the highway, I turned off the engine and started it back; and now the steering was back to normal. As I was not far from home, I drove slowly and carefully back home. On reaching home, I called up American Honda and they said - they never heard of such an issue and nothing could be done as the vehicle was out of warranty. The following days, I called up nearby Honda dealers but could not get anything concrete and so took it to one of the dealers who simply changed the Power Steering Electronic Module and the issue was sorted.

In January 2021 we took in my 2013 Honda Accord into my local Honda dealership because the steering wheel would jolt to the left while driving. It was very unsafe. My husband found information about an extended warranty having to do with the steering. Honda said that the car was not registering the specific code to fix it under the extended warranty so we would have to pay out of pocket which was over $3,000. We had read some comments from people experiencing the same issue but their Honda's fixed the issue. Ours would not. We took it back to our local Honda again and I called the corporation, again Honda said they can only fix this safety issue with payment. We then took the vehicle to a reputable mechanic in town and they too agreed that this issue should be covered by Honda. Our Mechanic outreached to our local Honda AGAIN and a Honda 30miles away and both said they cannot do anything without payment. We were shocked by how Honda clearly knew about the safety issue and concern but still would not do anything without payment and clearly the extended warranty impacted the steering. We had no choice but to pay for the repairs. The day we got the car back from being repaired ($3,772.35 later) we see that NHTSA opened an investigation for a safety recall on the steering! I will be contacting Honda for a full refund.

The effort required to make a turn is very inconsistent and can change abruptly in the middle of the turn. For example, while making a left-hand turn, the steering wheel can, without warning, jerk back to the right. While this has primarily occurred at lower speeds, it has been severe enough that it has almost caused us to not make our turn and as a result nearly run off the road, or into a curb or into vehicle next to us (pulling into a parking spot). To be honest, only good luck can be credited for the fact we haven't gotten into an accident up to this point. As stated before, this issue primarily occurs at slower speeds (< 30 mph), and while we've been fortunate enough that we've been able to recover from the momentary loss of control, if this issue were to occur at higher speeds or in a traffic-dense area, there is a very real possibility of a serious accident occurring. None of the vehicle's warning lights have ever indicated that there is an issue with the power steering system. Out of concern, the car was taken to a Honda dealership where they were able to reproduce the issue and recommended replacement of the entire steering rack and control unit at a cost of several thousand dollars. As we believe that the rack and/or it's control unit have a design flaw that would also still be present in a brand new non-revised rack, we have elected not to replace the rack in hopes of Honda taking ownership of it's defective product and offering a real solution to those of us who a

Intermittent activation of vehicle stability assist, electrical power steering, and tire pressure monitoring system lights. Diagnosed as yaw rate sensor failure requiring replacement of anti-lock braking system modulator.

Driving 40-45 miles per hour when steering felt unstable. Pulled in to parking lot when steering wheel symbol came on, car was very hard to steer at this point. Total loss of power steering. No damage or injury.

Car pulls to the right, actually will jerk the steering wheel out of your hands. Only at low speeds and very intermittent. Dealership said I must have hit something and I didn’t. Cost to fix is more than the vehicle is worth. I believe this is a manufacturing defect.

Backup camera not working. Sporadically. Can’t see pedestrians or other vehicles or objects. This is strong safety issue. Car was designed to use it. Can’t visually see without it. Almost hit child on bike, and other pedestrians. Honda had recall on 2018 accord for this, but not 2013. Have read of many, many others this model and exact problem..

Steering began pulling hard to the left within a relatively short space of time, 2-3 days. After checking the tire pressure on all four tires and discovering no variants, we knew there was a serious problem! Our safety and that of others was at risk! The problem was confirmed when the local Honda dealer said they could not perform an alignment on our vehicle until the steering system was fixed. Then, in order to make the vehicle safe to drive, the dealer said our only option was to replace the rack and pinion/power steering system in order to make it possible to align the wheels on the car. The dealer replaced said components on April 6, 2021. The component in question was not inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. However, it was inspected by our dealership who replaced the faulty steering system. There was no warning of any type before the steering began pulling to the left! We were surprised that this should happen with a Honda and especially one with less than 100,000 miles.

The steering turns left. As soon as you start you car, with hands off the steering wheel the entire steering system turns left. Opened 2 cases with Honda and NO RESPONSE. Case # 11941086 and 12222896. Hillside Honda informs us that the codes don't show up so the only thing they can do is replace the steering gearbox and alignment for a customer cost of $3592 + tax. This was a sudden onset incident, no accident to the car. It is a safety hazard and Honda refuses to do anything about it.

This morning noticed the steering felt a little stiff. I started driving down the street and it would randomly pull to the left hard.. all of a sudden it would yank the car left into the other lane. Vehicle has not been to the dealership yet.. just saw this on the news the other evening

When I'm driving, my car will periodically steer itself to the right unless I forcefully hold the steering wheel against the direction it's trying to turn. This issue can also occur when idling at say a red light, or stop sign. This puts mine and others safety at risk because at any point my car could steer itself into another car without input. I have taken the vehicle to the authorized Honda dealer in my city and was told that it was an "alignment" issue. Funny thing is, I went ahead and got an alignment when purchasing new tires a few weeks later and on my way home the issue happened numerous times (with videos to prove it) and continues to happen to this day. My vehicle gave no warning or messages prior to the issue happening. This has been an ongoing issue for close to two years now so I'm very happy to see that the news that this is an issue that the NHTSA is probing. Honda insinuating that this is an alignment issue is an insult to mine, and my families safety.

The steering began pulling to the left. The alignment was examined and adjusted without fixing the problem. I lifted the front of the vehicle off the ground, started the engine and the steering turned slowly by itself to the full left stop. Took the vehicle to the Honda dealer for repair. They reset the error codes and examined everything. Upon leaving the dealer repair depot the steering pulled very hard to the left. I returned and complained. The manager helped out and contacted Honda Factory support. A 4 wheel alignment was performed and adjusted to factory specs. The electronic steering system was fully reset and reprogrammed. This seemed to fix the problem. About 1 month later the steering system began to act erratically and continues to do so. Sometimes when turning a corner the steering system pulls in the direction of the turn, right or left. Sometimes it acts normally. All oddities seem to related to accelleration and braking. When driving in a straight line there is no deviation left or right however it is always harder to turn the wheel left than right.

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

CAR STEERING WHEEL TURNS ALL THE WAY RIGHT ON ITS OWN. YOU HAVE TO USE FORCE IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE CARS PATH OF TRAVEL. STEERING ISSUE OCCURRED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND WE WERE BACKING. THE ISSUE CONTINUE WHEN WE PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE.

STEERING WHEEL TURNS LEFT BY ITSELF WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IGNITION IS FIRST TURN ON AND VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKS HARD LEFT WITHOUT ANY FAIR WARNING ALMOST RIPPING STEERING WHEEL OUT OF HANDS AND TAKES ME INTO OPPOSITE LANE OF HIGHWAY WHEN IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

DIFFERENT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE ORIGINAL OWNERSHIP IN 2012. POWER LOCK SUDDENLY DOES NOT ACTUATE WITH REMOTE NOR DRIVER SIDE CONTROL. ONLY PHYSICAL ACTUATION OF LOCK ENGAGES OR DISENGAGES LOCK

ON TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2021, MY CAR SUDDENLY VERED TO THE LEFT AND I HAD TURN MY STEERING WHEEL EXCESSIVLEY (ABOUT 90 DEGREES) TO GET MY CAR BACK INTO MY LANE. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CAR NEXT TO I WOULD HAVE HIT IT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. I SUDDENLY WAS HEARING A CRACKLING NOISE FROM MY STEERING COLUMN. I DROVE MY CAR A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES BEFORE I TOOK IT TO ROUSH HONDA IN WESTERVILLE ON 5/12/2021. WHEN I TOOK MY CARI EXPLAINED THE PREVIOUS SITUATION AND TOLD THE GENTLEMAN THAT THE NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND HE SAID I WAS GETTING CHARGED $99 TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NOISE IS ABOUT AND WHAT WAS GOING ON. ON 5/13/2021, THE SERVICE DEPART. CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THAT IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE NOISE. I ASKED THEM WHAT ABOUT THE NOISE AND SHE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE SERVICE WRITE UP ABOUT A NOISE. SO I ASKED FOR A MANAGER. WHEN THE MANAGER CALLED, MAX WAGNER, HE TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE TIRE AND AXLE AND NOT THE STEERING COLUMN. YOU CAN CLEARELY HEAR THE NOISE COMING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE A LIFETIME ALIGNMENT WITH FIRESTONE AND TAKE MY CAR ON A REGULAR AND RESPONSIBLE BASIS. HONDA IS CLEARLY GIVING ME A RUN AROUND AND IS AVOIDING TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A PART MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CAN THIS BE INVESTIGATED BY YOUR AGENCY?

MY 2013 ACCORD SPORT SUDDENLY VEERED LEFT ON IT'S OWN AND I HIT A TELEPHONE POLE BREAKING IT IN HALF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS AND I AM INJURED. I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SPINNING HARD TO THE LEFT. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED.

THE FIRST TIME, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STEERED TO THE RIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING WEST. IT WAS LIKE I WAS LOOSING CONTROL. IT TERRIFIED ME. IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO GO OVER THE BRIDGE. IT SCARED ME SO BAD THAT I BEGAN HAVING ANXIETY ISSUES WHEN DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES AS WELL. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED. I NOW ONLY DRIVE STREETS AT 35 TO 40 MPH. PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING. I FELT LIKE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST MY IMAGINATION SO I SOUGHT PSYCHIATRIC ADVICE. THE DOCTOR DIAGNOSED ME HAS BEING AFRAID OF HEIGHT, BUT I KNEW BETTER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THESE HIGHWAYS FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY FEARS. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE RECALL THESE CARS. PLEASE DON'T LET THERE HAVE TO BE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THESE CARS IN GOOD FAITH OF BEING ONE OF THE FINEST. BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS THE CAR, I HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO GET RID OF MINES AS SOON AS I CAN.

MY CAR STEERS TO THE RIGHT WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVEN. IF I LET GO OF WHEEL, IT SUDDENLY DRIFT RIGHT. IT HAPPENS ON LOCAL ROAD OR HIGHWAY. I HAD ALIGNMENT DONE, TIRE ROTATION, THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE DRIFT COMES AND GOES. THE AUTO DEALER SAYS POWER STEERING IS NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE TECH AT THE DEALER BELIEVE IT'S A SENSOR ISSUE AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IS. EVEN AFTER SHUT OFF THE CAR, THE WHEEL TURNS ITSELF TO THE RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER DAUGHTER INFORMED HER THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, SHE LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND BLACKED OUT. AFTER REGAINING CONSCIOUSNESS, HER DAUGHTER NOTICED THAT SHE HAD STRUCK TWO VEHICLES THAT WERE PARKED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER DAUGHTER PICKED HER UP AND UPON TAKING HER BACK TO THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT AXLE HAD DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

YESTERDAY MORNING, (5-10-21), I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK IN MY ACCORD. THERE WAS SUDDENLY NO STEERING AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON A WINDING ROAD I'D BE A 3500 LB. BASE JUMPER WITH NO PARACHUTE. TAKING IT TO A DEALER, TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AFTER REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT INADVERTENTLY. THE CONTACT INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT THE ISSUE WAS BECAUSE OF THE WIND. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN CEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HOSMER HONDA (3825 4TH ST SW, MASON CITY, IA 50401) AND DIAGNOSED WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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. HERE ARE THE LINKS TO THOSE SITES: HTTP://WWW.CONTINENTALHONDA.COM/BLOG/HONDA-DASHBOARD-WARNING-LIGHTS-EXPLAINED/ HTTPS://WWW.DRIVEACCORD.NET/THREADS/SMART-ENTRY-SYSTEM-LIGHT-IS-ON.125729/PAGE-3 HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T43926_DS666390 THANK YOU

WHEN DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING COMPLETELY AND VEHICLE OPERATOR COULD BARELY STEER THE VEHICLE. WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT AND THE DRIVER SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD BUT WAS NOT INJURED. WE HAD TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. IT COST US 2,500 DOLLARS TO GET FIXED. HONDA HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING UNIT STEERING RACK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR BUT WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF OUR OWN POCKETS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY JERKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STEER OUT OF CONTROL, WHAT I DO IS GRIP THE WHEEL TIGHTLY AND I'M ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL. IT'S NOT OFTEN BUT IT'S HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS TO DRAW CONCERN. IT'S ALWAYS WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD, IT WILL SUDDENLY VEER LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. STEERING GOES FROM TIGHT TO LOOSE AT ANY GIVEN TURN/TIME.

ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE FRONT PANEL THAT INDICATE FLAT TIRED, HAND BRAKE, ABS, AIR PRESSURE, ETC ARE ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WENT TO THE RIGHT AND WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF BRIDGEWATER (1201 US-22, BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP, NJ 08807 (908) 722-5566) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000. INVALID VIN.

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.

I HAVE CHANGED MY CARS BATTERY YEARLY SINCE 2016. IT ALWAYS HAVE A STARTING ISSUE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE CHANGED 4 BATTERIES AND THE ISSUE IS STILL COMING EVERY YEAR. 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.

WATER PUMP SEIZED. DRIVE BELT SHREDDED.

EXCESS VIBRATION AND OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO VCM OPERATION. VCM ALSO MAKES THE TRANSMISSION SEARCH FOR GEARS WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED

MY CAR ABS SYSTEM PROPLEM.

ENGINE CONTINUES TO BURN OIL INTERNALLY. HONDA DEALER TELLS ME THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT ACURA HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. OIL FAN HUMMING, ENGINE OVERHEATING. PARKED BEFORE ENGINE LOCKED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE BATTERY AND THE ELECTRONIC STARTER WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

HONDA ACCORD SPORT 2013 I4 CVT. CV AXLES ARE CORRODED DUE TO FAILING PAINT FINISH. THIS CORROSION GETS INSIDE THE RUBBER RESONATOR(DONUT LOOKING PIECE), AFFECTING THE INTEGRITY OF THE AXLE. HONDA HAS RECALLED THESE AXLES IN OTHER STATES, BUT NOT IN UTAH. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN DENIED BY HONDA ON REPLACING AXLES PER THE RECALL.

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING.

STEERING WHEEL TURNS TO RIGHT WHEN CAR IS STARTED...CAR STEERING ON ITS OWN...VERY DANGEROUS!

ALL THE LIGHTS ARE BASICALLY ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX WHICH INCLUDES THE BRAKE, ABS, TPS. I NOTICED THAT EVEN WHEN I HAVE NOT PRESSED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED BY THE CAR. EXPECIALLY IN LOW/IDLE SPEEDS. THIS RESULTS IN ME HABVING TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND RESULTS IN A ROUGH RIDE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TODAY 4/1/2021. DEALER STATES THE CAR HAS A FAULTY VSA MODULATOR AND QUOTED $1400 FOR THE PART (57110-T2FA17) AND $510 FOR THE LABOR. ALSO SAID THE THEY NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKE FLUID AND REPLACE IT. AND THIS SAME PART WAS REPLACED BACK ON 11/5/2014. THIS CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY ACTIVE RECALL, BUT THE VSA MODULATOR HAS NOW FAILED TWICE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 4/20/2013. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS HONDA RECALLED SEVERAL OTHER MODELS AND YEARS FOR THE VSA MODULATOR. I HAVE ATTACHED SOME OF OTHER RECALLS THAT AFFECTED THE VSA MODULATOR

MY CHMSL LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AFTER 108,220 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY QUOTED $258.99 FOR PARTS AND $500.00 FOR LABOR TO REPLACE THE HIGH MOUNT 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO GET THE CAR FIXED WHO TOLD ME THAT FACTORY-INSTALLED LED CHMSL HAD ITS QUICK CONNECTOR WITHOUT A STOP TAB THEREFORE THE WIRE WAS PULLED OUT FROM THE QUICK CONNECTOR. I HAD TO PAY $250.00 FOR TOTAL REPAIRS TO REPLACE LED CHMSL. THE MECHANIC ALSO MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THE PART WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE INTENTIONALLY AS IT HAD SOME PERMANENT MARKINGS ON THE LED FIXTURE. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE LED FIXTURE WAS FUNCTIONAL EXCEPT FOR THE DEFECTIVE LOCKING TAB FOR THE CONNECTOR. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE QUALITY CONTROL AND MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

BASICALLY, MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I DON'T FEEL THAT MY STARTER SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT 36,000 MILES... I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 9 MONTHS.. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS TOO.. BASICALLY TOTALLING $640. IN PARTS AND 360. IN LABOR.. I BOUGHT IT DIRECTLY FROM THE DEALERSHIP.. IT HAS THE PUSH BUTTON START AND IT PUT OUT A 'GRINDING SOUND' WHEN I WENT TO START IT, THEN THE FRONT BAKES STARTED SQUEAKING ALSO..

THESE 2013 EARTH DREAMS HONDA ENGINES NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH BAD PISTON RINGS IN THIS ENGINES THAT CAUSE OVER EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH CAN LEAD UP TO ENGINE SEIZURE. HONDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WHICH IS AFFECTING MANY 2013 OWNERS. MECHANICS HAVE MADE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE STATING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO GET THESE ENGINES RECALLED SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND UPWARDS OF 5000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES WHEN THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BY HONDA. YOU NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES.

LOST POWER STEERING AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR !!

2013 HONDA ACCORD ACCORD WITH 81K MILES IS BURNING OIL ABOUT 1QUART 1000 MILES.
