2013 Honda Accord complaints

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD BURNING OIL, I GOT AN OIL CHANGE 4 MONTH AGO,ITS NO OIL LEAKS OR ANYTHING MY OIL LIFE IS 70%. HOWEVER WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP MY OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND NO OIL IN DIPSTICK. NOW THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NO OIL IN DIPSTICK FIRST TIME IN 64008 MILES ON 05/26/18 AND THE SECOND TIME IN 71689 MILES ON 01/03/19 AND THE THIRD TIME 75000 MILES 03/20/19 AND FOURTH TIME 80000 MILES ON 07/13/19. I WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE TO CHECK MY CAR AND DEALERSHIP SAY NO ISSUE AND I DID TWO ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FIRST TIME IN 64008 MILE ON 05/26/18 AND THE SECOND TIME IN 71689 MILE ON 01/03/19 AND ALL PASSED AND DEALERSHIP SAY NO ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT MY CAR ENGINE GET BROOKING OR FIRE. PLEASE I NEED HELP.

THE CAR BURNS A LOT OF OIL. 1.5 QUARTS FROM TRAVELING 55 MILES IN THE LAST WEEK.

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

AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURNED ON. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH REAR TIRE ON THE PASSANGER SIDE

ON 11-28-2019@ APPROXIMATELY 1835 HRS. MY HONDA ACCORD LX-AUTOMATIC WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING 5 CARS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR WAS HIT FROM THE REAR AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT. 2 IMPACTS WERE FELT FROM BEHIND FROM. AT THIS TIME THE CAR IS DISABLED AND I AM AWAITING FOR ESURANCE TO EVALUATE MY LOSS. I AM VERY CONCERN THAT THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN A DEADLY SITUATION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR. I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE TRAVELING WESTBOUND WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND THE CAR FROM BEHIND PUSHED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE LIE 495 WESTBOUND IS 50 MPH.

AFTER SERVICE AT HONDA SERVICE STATION AT ROSENBERG, TX... I HAD ISSUES WITH THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE FRONT OF THE GRILL, ALSO A CODE SHOWED UP 2 DAYS LATER, ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT... WHEN SCANNED IT WAS "P0420"... WAS WONDERING IF, THE MECHANICS WHILE CLEANING, USED WATER UNDER PRESSURE TO CLEAN, AND DURING THE CLEANING, DID THEY FLOOD MY EXHAUST... "CREATING BUSINESS?""

WE BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP BRAND NEW AND TOOK DELIVERY 11/4/2013. ON SATURDAY 11/16/2019, WITH JUST OVER 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR WE NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. IT WAS NOT ONLY HARD TO STEER BUT ALSO WOULD CONTINUE PROGRESSING IN THE DIRECTION TURNING. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY 11/18/2019 WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE RACK, POWER STEERING NEEDED REPLACE FOR A TOTAL COST OF $2,797.49. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP. CONTACTED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED 12 DAYS EARLIER. THEY WOULDN'T HELP. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS VERY LOW MILLAGE. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND AND ARTICLE IN EDMUNDS "FEDS PROBE 2013 HONDA ACCORD FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE", ESTIMATE 374,000 COMPLAINS ABOUT THE 2013 HONDA ACCORDS. ISN'T THAT ENOUGH TO FORCE HONDA TO DO A RECALL?

I WAS DRIVING ON BUSY 4 LANE ROAD AND WAS TURNING TO THE LEFT TO GET IN THE TURN LANE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO MOVE. I WAS ABLE WHILE STRUGGLING TO MAKE THE TURN. IT WAS LUCKY AS THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TOWED TO THE DEALER AND NOW HAVE A $3,000 REPAIR BILL TO FIX THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE NOTICED ALL THE COMPLAINTS GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL YEAR THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT CAUSED A RECALL.

THIS PROBLEM STARTED TWO YEARS AGO AND GOT WORSE IN MAY. IT ALL STARTED WHE WE HAD A ROUGH TIME STARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD TAKE UP TO 6 TIME UNTIL THE CAR WOULD FINALLY START. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY SO WE CHANGED THE BATTER UP TO FOUR TIME AND IT STILL KEPT HAVING STARTING ISSUES SO THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE STARTER SO WE HAD IT REPLACED AND WE ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES AND NOW THE CAR STALLED ON ME WHILE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT TOOK NUMEROUS TRIES AND IT FINALLY TURNED OVER. 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. WE HAVE HAD TWO ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STARTING ISSUES AND THE BATTERY DRAINING AND THEY BOTH TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE LOTS OF VIDEO AND DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT THE CA

ALONG SEVERAL OTHERS, I BEGAN HAVING THE INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS ON MY 2013 2.4 L ACCORD AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. THIS TYPE OF STARTER USES A SOLENOID TO MOVE THE STARTER MOTOR'S PINION GEAR FORWARD TO MESH WITH THE FLYWHEEL'S RING GEAR WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PULLING THE PLUNGER AND ITS COPPER CONTACT DISC ONTO THE BATTERY CONTACT AND THE STARTER MOTOR CONTACT TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT FROM THE BATTERY TO THE STARTER MOTOR. WHEN FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, TURNING THE IGNITION KEY OR STARTER BUTTON SHOULD MESH STARTER'S PINION GEAR WITH THE FLYWHEEL AND TURN THE STARTER MOTOR TO CRANK THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM WITH THESE STARTERS IS THAT THE BATTERY-SIDE CONTACT AND THE BATTERY-SIDE OF THE PLUNGER CONTACT ERODE EXCESSIVELY DUE TO ARCING AND CONSEQUENT PITTING. THIS INTERMITTENTLY PREVENTS THE PLUNGER'S CONTACT FROM CONTACTING THE BATTERY-SIDE CONTACT TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND STARTER MOTOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE PINION GEAR MESHES WITH THE FLYWHEEL BUT THE STARTER MOTOR DOESN'T TURN. NOTE THAT THE PINION GEAR ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING THE FLYWHEEL IS THE CLICKING SOUND HEARD FROM UNDER THE CAR DURING A FAILED START. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY REPLACING THE CONTACTS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN HONDA BRUSH HOLDER (HONDA PART NUMBER: 31210-5A2-A01) WHICH COST ME $45 AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. I BELIEVE 2013 THROUGH 2017 2.4 L ACCORDS USE THIS PART WHICH SUGGESTS THAT THEY WILL, OR ARE, EXPERIENCING THE INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM. ONE WOULD THINK HONDA WOULD HAVE HAD A

PAINT IS FLACKYING FROM CAR. VISIBLE AREAS THAT CAN BE SEEING WHERE PAINT IS PEELING AWAY AND PRIMER IS EXPOSED. I HAVE ASKED IF I COULD DRIVE CAR IN OR SEND PICTURES TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS NOT DO TO LACK OF CARE. MY VEHICLE LOOKS AND RUNS EXCELLENT. LARGE AREAS OF PEELING PAINT THAT CAN EASILY BE SEEN.I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT CONTACTING BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA, YET I HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS AT A RESOLUTION.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. I TRAVEL ABOUT 30K A YEAR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY METICULOUS WITH THE EXTERIOR AND MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE. DURING THE COURSE OF MY TRAVELS, I HAVE ON AT LEAST 4-5 OCCASIONS HAD DIFFICULTY CHANGING LANES. MORE SPECIFIC, WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE AT LOW SPEED (5-35 MPH) I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE. THE ABILITY TO STEER CAME BACK QUICKLY, BUT FOR A SECOND OR TWO, A TURN WAS NOT POSSIBLE. THIS PAST WEEK, ON 10/30/2019, A SIMILAR SCENARIO TRANSPIRED. I WAS STOPPED AT A "STOP" SIGN AND NEEDED CROSS AN INTERSECTION AND MAKE A LEFT TURN. JUST WHEN IT WAS TIME TO TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, NOT ALLOWING ME TO TURN LEFT. AS THERE WAS AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE SLOW DOWN BUT STRUCK A CURB WITH MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE IMPACT BEAT UP THE RIM PRETTY BAD AND DEFLATED THE TIRE. I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND HEADED TO A NEAR MECHANIC, ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY. THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DAMAGE INCLUDED CRACKED RIM, POWER STEERING RACK AND ELECTRONIC STEERING BOX TO NAME A FEW. IN RESEARCHING PARTS, I CAME ACROSS MANY INCIDENTS IN WHICH A 2013 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD FAILED STEERING CAPABILITY. I CONTACTED HONDA (CASE #10012315), THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM NOW, NOR IN THE PAST AND COULD NOT COMMENT ON PROBLEMS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OLD AND HAD A LOT OF MILES. THEY TOLD ME "YOU HAD AN ACCIDENT, WHY ARE YOU CALLING HONDA, YOU SHOULD

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE, MOTHER IN-LAW AND MY TWO YEARS DAUGHTER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD AND STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BECAUSE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY! I TOOK THE NEAREST EXIT IT WAS VERY DIFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR. I STOPPED THE TO CHECK MY PHONE ON WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE? THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE BEFORE AND HAD REPORTED IT TO THE NHTSA. BUT NOTHING WAS DONE! I CARE FOR MY FAMILY' SAFETY AND I WILL HOLD THE NHTSA RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY DUE TO THIS ISSUE.THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA.

THE CAR LOOSES ITS STEERING CONTROL. WHEN STATIONARY (AND DRIVING), IF I TAKE MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING, IT AUTOMATICALLY STEERS ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. IT SOMETIMES RESETS THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED OR WHEN IT IS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT, THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN SHORTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT LIKE OTHERS, I ONLY GOT A BIG BILL OF $2800.

REPEATED IGNITION SYSTEM FAILURE ON 2013 HONDA ACCORD V6 TOURING WITH PUSH BUTTON START THAT LEFT MY DAUGHTER AND ME STRANDED ON A NIGHT WHEN IT WAS ONLY 13 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO. PUSH BUTTON START ONLY RESULTED IN A GRINDING NOISE, NO ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE FLYWHEEL TO START THE ENGINE. STARTER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER ONCE (AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEALER TO FIX THIS ISSUE) WITH THE SAME RESULTING GRINDING NOISE AND FAILURE OF THE ENGINE TO START. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HONDA CORPORATION MANY TIMES; IT IS A POORLY ENGINEERED AND FAULTY DESIGN THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND CANNOT FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN EAGLE HONDA OF HOUSTON (18787 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065, (281) 528-1165) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST MODULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

WHEN TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND RESTARTS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP

WHEN I TURN KEY IGNITION CAR DOESNT START, I HAVE TO TURN KEY BACK AND FORTH FOR IT TO START

THE WHITE PAINT HAS BEGUN PEELING IN THE RAIN CHANNEL OF THE BACK GLASS. I AM UNCERTAIN IF THIS AFFECTS THE INTEGRITY OF THE BACK GLASS. THE PRIMER IS EXPOSED IN SEVERAL PLACES.

MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. HE WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. HE JUST CAME OFF AN ACCESS ROAD AND HAD VEERED TO THE RIGHT TO MERGE INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 38K MILES. THE WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT AND TOOK GREAT EFFORT TO CENTER THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO A STOP. HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND CALLED ME. STATED IT WAS STILL DRIVEABLE AND DROVE HOME, BUT CONTINUED TO HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE FOR STEERING WHEEL JERKING TO THE RIGHT AND CIRCULATING OUT OF CONTROL WHEN LET GO. I DROVE THE CAR UPON HIS RETURN AND EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE. TAKING VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.

2013 ACCORD DID NOT START AND MAKE A CLICK SOUND. HONDA DEALER NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM. BATTERY, STARTER REPLACED BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON CITY STREET WITH HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL, SOMETHING JERKED IT TO THE LEFT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING, I GOT OVER STEERING MANUALLY INTO A PARKING LOT. I TURNED IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STARTED WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN.

VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT START. WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON, A STATIC NOISE IS HEARD. THE STARTER IS SPINNING, BUT NOT ENGAGING WITH THE TORQUE GEAR. THE STARTER MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES BUT THE RESULT IS THE SAME. THESE START ISSUES ARE A DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE ONLY WAY IT STARTS IS IF I SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TRY. OCCASIONALLY THAT DOESN'T WORK AND I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND TRY TO START IT THERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR EMERGING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FLOW HONDA (2600 PETERS CREEK PKWY, WINSTON-SALEM, NC 27127, (336) 785-3380)WHERE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS ADDED AND THE BATTERY WAS JUMPED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,005.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE START BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-002. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALSER HONDA (LOCATED AT 14800 BUCK HILL RD, BURNSVILLE, MN 55306, (952) 388-2231), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER FOR NO REASON. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL. THERE ARE ALMOST 400,000 COMPLAINTS I'VE NOTICED AND I'M WONDERING WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. I HAD 3 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME AT THE TIME AND I FEEL EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT OUR VEHICLE DID NOT CRASH AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS CONSIDERED SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR A RECALL?

WE ARE A COLLISION REPAIR FACILITY IN OREGON SCOTTIES AUTOBODY THIS VEHICLE HAS A BROKEN STEERING SHAFT IN THE COLUMN THAT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE METAL . I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS A RANDOM PROBLEM BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INSPECTED . THIS BROKEN SHAFT CAUSES 100% LOSS OF STEERING

TAKATA RECALL MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT ABS PUMP ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PART MODULATOR ASSEMBLY SEDAN CVT FITS 13 ACCORD 503036 THE LIGHTS ARE ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND IN THE DEALER TOLD ME TO REPLACE THAT PART.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. ADDITIONALLY, VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA HAS REPAIRED ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 BUT NOT 2013-2016 WHICH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. VARIOUS FORUMS AND MY OWN VEHICLE HAS THE ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEOS AND SOUND TO PROVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA IS REPAIRING ON ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STARTS WITH A LOUD START-UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE WEATHER IS REALLY COLD, THE ENGINE WON'T START. HONDA DOES HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FOR OLDER CARS.

THE CAR IS HAVING STARTER ISSUES. RANDOMLY WILL START AND THEN WON'T. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. SAME MAKE AND MODEL, SAME ISSUE. THE SYSTEM OR STARTERS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME FOR US- AT LEAST A YEAR OR MORE.

2013 HONDA ACCORD IS FAILING TO START. PUSH STARTER BUTTON AND IT WILL NOT START, THEN AGAIN AND WILL NOT START, THEN AGAIN AND IT WILL START. BEGINNING TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY. HAVE A NEW BATTERY AND CHECKED ALTERNATOR AND EVERYTHING FINE.THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME I WAS TRYING TO START IT.

THE CAR IS HAVING STARTER ISSUES. RANDOMLY WILL START AND THEN WON'T. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. SAME MAKE AND MODEL, SAME ISSUE.

I OWN A 2013 (BOUGHT NEW) WITH 45000 MILES ON IT. THE STARTER WENT OUT AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACED AS WELL. IT A BEAUTIFUL CAR AND ITS WAY TO SOON TO BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THE CAR WON'T START AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE.

KEY-LESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT IS VERY UNRELIABLE. THE PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE. THIS MAKES STARTING THE CAR A VARIABLE TIME EVENT AND NOT SUITABLE FOR MOVING THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THE PROBLEM WAS WELL KNOWN BY HONDA AND PRESUMABLY FIXED IN SOME 2013'S. HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 13-038 TOLD HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO REPLACE THE MODULE AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. THEY CUT THIS OFF AT VIN DL002124, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. STREETSBORO OHIO HONDA TELLS ME THEY CAN ORDER THE PART BUT THEY WANT OVER $600 TO REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2013 AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS JUST HARD TO START. I MENTIONED IT TO A SERVICE MAN AT BEDFORD HONDA AT THE TIME, BUT THE CAR STARTED UP FOR HIM SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW SO I JUST LIVED WITH IT. IT'S NOW MUCH WORSE.

REARVIEW CAMERA SCREEN IS BLACK WHEN I PUT CAR IN REVERSE

CAR STALLS GOING THRU INTERSECTIONS WHICH I COMPLAINED ABOUT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN FT .MYERS IN 2013. I HAVE PAPERWORK THAT SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT HOWEVER, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS. SO FAR, I AM LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT! BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON 7/15/19 , I STARTED TO TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKES LOCKED AND I HAD TO VEER ONTO THEIR LAWN ON AN EMBANKMENT, RAN OVER A CEMENT PARKING BLOCK AND THROW IT INTO PARK AND TURN IT OFF IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR FROM HITTING ANYONE! THE CAR WAS TOWED FROM PROSPECT AVE AND BRADY STREET IN MILWAUKEE WI. RUSS DARROW HONDA RAN A SAFETY CHECK AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I THINK THEY SHOULD CHECK THE VSA MODULATOR. ABRA AUTO REPAIR IN GLENDALE HAD IT TOWED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT AND SENT IT TO RUSS DARROW HONDA. CLEARLY, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT! I HAVE A FL DRIVERS LICENSE AND I AM IN WI NOW FOR THE SUMMER, WHICH IS WHERE THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE PICTURES BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD THEM TO YOUR SITE?

MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG TURNED ON AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE ALSO WHEN I PRESS ON MY BREAKS THE THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS MAKE A CLICKING NOISE

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.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND STATIONARY, ONCE IT WAS TURNED ON THE (EPS) ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. STEERING WHEEL WAS THEN DIFFICULT TO MOVE OR TURN. THE INDICATOR WAS CONSTANT FROM THAT POINT.

PUSH BUTTON STARTER DOESN'T WORK NEARLY EVERY DAY. TODAY JULY 9 2019 IT WOULDN'T START 3 TIMES. EVERYTHING FREEZES (STEERING, BRAKE) BUT ALL LIGHTS LIGHT UP. THERE ARE 1,000'S OF PEOPLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TOO... SO FAR ONLY WHEN STARTING.

KEYLESS PUSH BUTTON START WORKS INTERMITTENTLY TO START CAR - SOMETIMES TAKES 10 TRIES TO CRANK; BATTERY IS GOOD

MARCH 2019 DROVE CAR TO GYM WITHOUT INCIDENT. CAR WOULDN'T START AN HOUR LATER. AAA CAME AND THE TECH'S TOOLS INDICATED BATTERY HAD SUFFICIENT POWER. TECH TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO START CAR AND GOT IT TO RUN. HE ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO SHOP TO GET STARTER FIXED. I DROVE IT HOME INSTEAD AND THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR A MONTH. ONE MORNING IT DIDN'T START AGAIN. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER AND IT WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY IT DIDN'T. FINALLY IN JULY 2019 I CALLED FOR A TOW. AAA CAME, JUMPED THE CAR AND ADVISED ME TO DRIVE DIRECTLY TO SHOP. AT SHOP, DETERMINED IT WAS JUST A DEAD BATTERY. REPLACED IT TODAY. AT 120000 MILES AND IN THE SPAN OF 6 YEARS, THIS IS THE THIRD BATTERY.

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).

STARTER FAILURE DESCRIBED IN HONDA'S TSB 16-002. CAR EXHIBITED A GRINDING NOISE UPON TRYING TO START. IT WOULD FAIL TO START. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. HONDA FINALLY REPLACED THE STARTER BUT WAS UNWILLING TO WARRANTY THE KNOWN PROBLEM. A YEAR LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE CAR AT TIMES. IT STARTED WHEN ON A ROAD TRIP. WE WERE AN HOUR OUT FROM HOME, HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2.5 HOURS. WE STOPPED AT A REST AREA TO USE THE FACILITIES, CAME BACK TO THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, IT TRIED TURNING OVER BUT DID NOT. WE RECEIVED A BOOST AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER WERE ALL FINE. I ACTUALLY DRIVE WITH A JUMP STARTER IN THE CAR SO THAT I WON'T BE STRANDED. IT IS FRUSTRATING TO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG.

BATTERY DRAINS OFTEN. HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY TWICE & I BELIEVE I WILL HAVE TO CHANGE IT AGAIN. I BELIEVE IT'S THE CHARGING SYSTEM FOR THE BATTERY

PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE BECAUSE IT FREQUENTLY FAILS TO START WHEN I PUSH THE ENGINE BUTTON. SOMETIMES IT STARTS ON THE FIRST TRY, BUT I AM FREQUENTLY LEFT TRYING TO CRANK THE CAR FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES. ONE DAY IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL BUT STARTED IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT MORNING. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR MONTHS AND THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES. I READ ON 'COMMUNITY TALK' THAT OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. ON JUNE 27, 2019, I HAD TO PAY OVER $773.84 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. THE DEALERSHIP IN DANVILLE, VA. SAID THEY KEEP THE STARTERS IN STOCK BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING ALL OF THEM.

THE CAR HAS A PUSH BUTTON START. SOMETIMES THE STARTER ON THE CAR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. AT TIMES, THE CAR FAILS TO START FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND INDICATES THAT THE STARTER SYSTEM IS NOT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT ALSO INDICATES THAT THE POWER IS STILL ON. 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.
