2013 Honda Accord complaints

RECALL NOTICE

TAKATA RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE BATTERY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE LOCAL DEALER (KENS HARVEY DUBLIN HONDA, 6300 DUBLIN BLVD, DUBLIN, CA 94568) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION FOR THE PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

START BUTTON ISSUE ON 2013 HONDA ACCORD. PERIODICALLY, THE START BUTTON DOES NOT START THE CAR. IT SOUNDS LIKE STATIC. THE CAR EVENTUALLY WILL START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. I NOTED MANY COMPLAINTS OF SUCH A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON CARGURUS.COM WEB BLOG. MY CAR ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE STARTER AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,018.61.

I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET. THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK AS I STARTED DOWN THE STREET. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF STREET. THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WAITED 5 MINUTES THEN CONTINUED DRIVING, POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK AGAIN AND INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. AS I PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER AGAIN THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO WORK. LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED WHEN THE POWERING STEERING FAILED.

IN THE FEW YEARS I'VE HAD MY CAR, WHICH I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF AND HAVE LOW MILEAGE ON, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING (VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS!), THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE ONE DAY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PUT IT BACK UP, AND THE DASHBOARD SENSORS GO OFF UNNECESSARILY. VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM A HONDA VEHICLE. BEWARE!

CAR WAS IN DRIVE OF HOME, STARTED CAR AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON. WOULD NOT CLEAR. DROVE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, BRAKES WERE BARLEY OPERABLE, CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND POWER STEERING ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. DEALERSHIP FIRST REPLACED THE BATTERY, CLEARING THE CODES FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE NEXT DAY THEY ARE REPLACING A BAD VSA MODULE THAT CONTROL THE ABS AND OTHER SAFETY FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR. THE ACCORD ONLY HAS 67K MILES AND THESE SENSORS ARE 1700 PLUS DOLLARS. RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND A GREAT DEAL OF THESE FAILING -USUALLY WHEN THE HONDA IS IN MOTION. I WAS FORTUNATE MINE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEALING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (LUTE RILEY HONDA, 1331 N CENTRAL EXPY, RICHARDSON, TX 75080) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

WHILE ON VACATION IN THE MOUNTAINS OF TENNESSEE THE EPS INDICATOR CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY. THAT WAS FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING! IT CAME ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A SHORT SLOW DRIVE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR--SLOW SPEED WITH ACCELERATION. AFTER HAVING THE SOFTWARE UPDATED (WHICH DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE) I AM BEING TOLD ONLY THE RACK & PINION PORTION OF THE EPS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO BE COVERED BY HONDA AND NOT THE EPS CONTROL UNIT WHICH IS THE CODE MY CAR IS SHOWING. EXCUSE ME! THE STEERING OF A VEHICLE IS A MAJOR DEAL. HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS AND BE GLAD TO DO IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. I AM BEING TOLD THE REPAIR COST IS ABOUT $750. THIS HAS REALLY PUT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH FOR HONDA; THIS IS THE FOURTH ACCORD I HAVE OWNED BUT WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST ONE. SHAME ON HONDA FOR NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND COMPONENTS. SHAME ON THE NHTSA FOR NOT FORCING THEM TO RECALL THESE CARS AND KEEP US ALL SAFER ON THE ROADWAYS WHEN THE COMPLAINTS ARE NUMEROUS FOR THE SAME ISSUE!

HAVING TROUBLE WITH STARTER. TAKES ABOUT THREE TO FIVE TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET MY CAR STARTED.. MY CAR WAS IN PARK, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME.IT'S BEEN GOING OVER TWO MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNTIL MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND REPAIRED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AFTER OPERATING THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AGAIN AND WAS TOWED TO POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY (2011 N SALISBURY BLVD, SALISBURY, MD 21801 (410) 749-2301). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,546.

AT TIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED. IT WILL START ON THE SECOND TURN. ON 11/17/2017 , IT DID NOT START ON THE SECOND TRY. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK . THE DRIVER ARRIVED AND AFTER TURNING THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES , THE CAR STARTED. HE STATED THAT IT IS THE STARTER AND TO HAVE IT CHECKED.

POWER STEERING WHEEL FAILURE. POWER STEERING WHEEL WARNING LIGHT CAME OUT AND CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! RECALL IS MANDATORY.

NHTSA RECALL 17V-418. THE DEALER AT STEVEN CREEK ROAD, SAN JOSE, CA CHARGED US $80 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. CALLED THE HONDA AND STILL INSIST THAT WE NEED TO PAY. THE DEALER THREATENED NOT TO RELEASE THE CAR AFTER T HEY DID THE FINAL REPAIR. WE DON'T HAVE CHOICE BUT TO PAY. WE WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE BY HONDA. I FILED A COMPLAINT TO HONDA UNDER CASE # 06455487 BUT JENNIFER INSIST WE NEED TO PAY. WHAT A SHAME? WE HAVE THE CAR BACK BUT WE FEEL WE WERE CHEATED BY THIS COMPANY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COAST HONDA (2110 NJ-35, SEA GIRT, NJ 08750, (732) 974-2211) AND RECEIVED AN INTERIM REPAIR PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOTIFY VEHICLE OWNERS WHEN THE FINAL REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,464.

IGNITION FAILS INTERMITTENTLY WITH GRINDING, SCRAPING NOISE.

TAKATA RECALL. PLUS BATTERY GAP THAT CAN CAUSE IGNITION / FIRE HAZARD. HONDA SAID THEY WILL DO THIS RECALL AT CARSON HONDA (NOV 1, 2017), HOWEVER ONE OF WINDOW STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AFTER RECALL PERFORMED. NOT SURE IF RECALL IS PERFORMED EITHER.

17V-418

HONDA SENSOR NOT FIX CAUSING ELECTRICAL TO HEAT UP AND SMELL OF ELECTRICAL WIRE BURN AND GOES AWAY THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND USUALLY WHEN I ACTIVATE TURN SIGNAL AND HONDA IS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAY THEY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH INTERMITTENT STARTING AROUND 45,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE STARTER PROBLEM, BUT CHARGED ME OVER $800 TO REPAIR IT WITH A NEW STARTER BUTTON. I WAS TOLD WITHOUT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD GET WORSE TILL THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL.

WE PURCHASED THE HONDA ACCORD 2013 V6 10/22/2017. STEERING WHEEL WAS TIGHT WE NOTICED ,THAT NIGHT OF THE 23RD, 2ND TIME DRIVING IT MY SON TURNED THE CORNER AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND HE RAN INTO THE CEMENT POLE AND TOTALED HIS CAR. WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE IT ONE FULL DAY. WE LATER LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET THAT HONDA WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR POWER STEERING LOCKING UP OR ELECTRICAL AND SAW PEOPLE TOTALED THERE CARS OR HAD THE SAME ISSUES 464K CASES. MY SON WAS HURT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. HONDA NEEDS TO BE SUED FOR THIS AND I WANT IN ON IT. THE CAR WAS IN MY NAME I BOUGHT FOR MY 21 YR OLD SON AFTER HIS CAR FLOODED IN HARVEY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

MY STARTER IS BEING REPLACED FOR INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. MY MECHANIC VERY EXPERIENCED AND I HAVE BEEN USING FOR YEARS MADE THE DIAGNOSIS. I WAS PRESENT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. MY CAR IS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH LESS THEN 44000 MILES. I HAVE OWNED 3 HONDA'S ALL STILL IN THE FAMILY. I HAD A 2002 WITH THE ORIGINAL STARTER, WHICH MY DAUGHTER NOW OWNS AND I HAVE A 2010 WITH ALMOST 100,000 WITH THE ORIGINAL STARTER. SOMETHING IS WRONG WHEN YOU HAVE TO CHANGE A STARTER ON A 4 YR OLD CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN THE 2013 LAST JANUARY WITH LESS THEN 40,000 MILES ON IT. I CHANGES THE BATTERY MYSELF.

MY MOTHER OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD LX AND SHE WAS PUT INTO A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION TODAY AND HONDA IS LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED!! SHE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING STALL AT HER WORKPLACE, HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND SHE WAS CREEPING INTO THE STALL AS PER NORMAL. THE CAR THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ONTO A BUNCH OF BUSHES AND THE SIDE WALK BEFORE SHE WAS ABLE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ONLINE WITH HUNDREDS OF STORIES SHARING THE EXACT SAME THING (PLEASE SEE LINK HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/CAR-ACCELERATES-ON-ITS-OWN-PROBLEMS.PHP). HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX IT ASAP! THEY COMPLETELY SIDE-STEPPED MY DIRECT LINE OF QUESTIONING AND ARE HIDING SOMETHING. I AM FILING A FORMAL POLICE REPORT WITH LOCAL HOUSTON PD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED OR THE NHTSA AND HONDA WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT ON THEIR HANDS.

RECEIVED CARD FOR AIRBAG RECALL

BATTERY A PIECE TO BE PLACED ON THE BATTERY SENSOR TO PREVENT MOISTURE FROM ENTERING TO PREVENT A FIRE

JUST ONE DAY AGO I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD EX-L SEDAN 2013 AND I WENT TO TURN UNDER THE UNDERPASS AND THE STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY LOCKED UP ON ME AND I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SO I PANICKED AND I MUST OF HIT THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, BUT I COULDN'T TURN IT ENOUGH AND I RAN OVER THE CURB AND INTO THE UNDERPASSES CEMENT PILLAR TOTALING THE CAR SO THE NEXT DAY I WOKE UP AND WAS SO CONFUSED BY WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE AND WHEN I LOOKED UP WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IT SEEMS THAT PLENTY OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE, BUT MOST OF THEM ENDED UP FINE, BUT SINCE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T LET ME MAKE ONCE I ALREADY ENGAGED IN TRYING TO TURN I WASN'T AS FORTUNATE AS THOSE OTHER DRIVERS LUCKILY I WASN'T KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

TRIED TO START THE CAR. THE VEHICLE JUST LIGHTS UP WILL NOT START BY PUSHING BUTTON. JUST CLICKING AND LIGHTS INSIDE FLICKERING. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING ME TO MISS WORK. GOT IN THIS CAR TO GO TO WORK BUT WILL NOT START.

THE CAR WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE 10-30 MINUTES TO TRY AND START IT WITH THE KEY. YOU WILL TURN THE KEY AND IT CLICKS BUT NOTHING ENGAGES. WE HAD A NEW KEY MADE THINKING IT MAY BE THE CHIP IN THE KEY CAUSING IT NOT TO START. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. TOOK IT IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY AFTER MY DAUGHTER BEING STRANDED YESTERDAY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T CRANK. SERVICE TECH SAYS ITS THE STARTER. OBVIOUSLY THESE 2013 HONDAS HAVE AN ISSUE, IT'S ALL OVER GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE WITH MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND ALL LOW MILEAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AAA WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF CONCORD (7650 BRUTON SMITH BLVD, CONCORD, NC 28027) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY AND STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. REQUIRED NEW STARTER.

DEAR SIR/MADAM:I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2013 AND MY BATTERY WENT BAD THIS YEAR. I CONTACTED HONDA TO INFORM THAT IT IS UNUSUAL TO GET THE BATTERY WENT BAD WITHIN 3 YEARS WHEN I WAS USING IT VERY CAREFUL. I ASKED THEM TO CHANGE THE BATTERY AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE ANY LIABILITY SINCE THEY SAID IT IS REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR. I TOLD THEM EVEN AAA GIVE 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON THEIR BATTERY. LAST MONTH, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM HONDA STATING THE FOLLOWING: "AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (HONDA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2013 - 2016 ACCORD VEHICLES. IN CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE PLASTIC CASE OF THE BATTERY SENSOR MAY HAVE GAPS THAT ALLOW MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. SAFETY RISK: IF MOISTURE CONTAINING CONDUCTIVE SUBSTANCES (SUCH AS ROAD SALT) ENTERS THE BATTERY SENSOR, IT COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY, A FIRE." THEY STILL REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME $300.00 OF WHAT I PAID FOR MY BATTERY ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE RECALL.

MOUSE NEST DISCOVERED IN ENGINE AFTER MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. MOUSE CHEWED THROUGH TUBES TO GAS TANK RESULTING IN NEEDING A WHOLE NEW GAS TANK. LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AFTER BEING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

DRIVING WHEN POWER TO STEERING WENT OUT. IN MOTION/ CITY STREET AUTO IN TO DEALER 3 WKS PRIOR ON RECALL SERVICE AND POWER STEERING LEVEL CHECKED AND REPORT INDICATES "CHECKED AND OK AT THIS TIME. OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE OF SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL - WAITING EVAL BY HONDA NORTH TOMORROW A.M

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD OF MY HONDA AND I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. I DIDNT KNOW WHY THIS WAS SO I CHANGED THE OIL FAST TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGING. NOW 1400 MILES AFTER MY OIL CHANGE THE ENGINE IS HALF WAY DRY OF OIL. MY CAR IS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 42000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL.

ON FRI SEPT 29TH, 2017 I HAD AN SUA (SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION) IN MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD THAT DEVASTATED PART OF AN OFFICE BUILDING AND WRECKED MY CAR. I WAS IN AN OFFICE PARK PARKING LOT AND BACKED UP, HIT A 3 FOOT HIGH CONCRETE BOLLARD, WAS ANNOYED, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, FELT AN ODD LURCH AS THOUGH THE BUMPER WAS STUCK ON SOMETHING ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND AT THAT MOMENT THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED TO WHAT FELT LIKE 30 OR 40 MILES AN HOUR. I TRIED TO BRAKE BUT IT FELT AS THOUGH THERE WAS NO PRESSURE UNDER MY FOOT. I GRIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL IN TERROR AND STEERED THE CAR AWAY FROM OTHER PARKED CARS AND INTO A CONCRETE WHEELCHAIR RAMP WITH RAILS AND AN OFFICE BUILDING. THE AIR BAG WENT OFF. THE CONCRETE RAMP AND OFFICE BUILDING STOPPED THE CAR IN ITS TRACKS. I PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT. I'M DOING OK BUT MOSTLY VERY VERY GRATEFUL I DIDN'T HURT OR KILL ANYONE. MINOR AIRBAG BURN ON MY ARM AND A CONTUSION TO MY KNEE. I FEEL THE AIRBAG ONLY CAME OUT A LITTLE AND HIT MY LEFT ARM, NOT THE REST OF MY BODY. BUT I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THAT. I'M GLAD BECAUSE AS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST I'VE SEEN SOME NASTY AIR BAG INJURIES. ALSO I DID NOT HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON BECAUSE I OFTEN PUT IT ON AS I LEAVE A PARKING LOT. NOT A GOOD IDEA, BUT ALSO NO NASTY SEAT BELT INJURY. JUST STIFF ARMS, PAINFUL LEFT KNEE AND NECK, A FEW DAYS LATER. I REALIZE EVERYONE IS GOING TO SAY I HAD THE FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT I WAS AT A DEAD STOP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO ACCE

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TECHNICAL FLAW WITH VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD OVER A CURB. THE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. UPDATED 10/02/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MCKENNEY-SALINAS HONDA, 4295 WILKINSON BLVD, GASTONIA, NC 28056) WHERE THE BATTERY BOX WAS SEALED TEMPORARILY. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW HOURS, THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (HONDA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR2013 ACCORD VEHICLES. IN CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE PLASTIC CASEOF THE BATTERY SENSOR MAY HAVE GAPS THAT ALLOW MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. IF MOISTURE CONTAINING CONDUCTIVE SUBSTANCES (SUCH AS ROAD SALT) ENTERS THE BATTERY SENSOR, IT COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY, A FIRE. RECALL DATE: JUNE 29, 2017. SO FAR NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. NOW FALL SEASON IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. I AM CONCERNING ABOUT SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE ABOUT ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT RESULT IN FIRE. I CHECKED WITH HONDA DEALER LAST WEEK. HE SAID PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPLACE IT.

CAR CAUGHT FIRE STARTING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, IN LEFT TURN LANE, WHEN SMOKE WAS FIRST NOTICED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND FIRE PROGRESSED IN A FEW MINUTES TO WHERE FLAMES WERE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LOCAL FIRE COMPANY EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. CAR APPEARS TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 17V-418 WAS ONLY RECENTLY RECEIVED AND HAD NOT YET GOTTEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER.

RECENTLY HAD THE RECALL FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR DONE ON THE VEHICLE. NEXT DAY THE CAR HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS STARTING. RETURNED TO DEALER BATTERY TESTS GOOD ALTERNATOR TESTS GOOD. WAS TOLD NEEDS NEW STARTER AND THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF STARTER PROBLEMS THIS MODEL . VEHICLE WILL WORK FINE ONE DAY STARTS FINE THEN NEXT DAY TAKES FIVE TO TEN TRIES TO START. PROBLEM WAS INDUCED ONLY AFTER BMS SENSOR RECAL. NEVER HAD ISSUE PRIOR HONDA TELLS ME ITS NOT THE SENSOR

POWER STEERING FAILURE SHOWS UP ON THE DASHBOARD, AND POWER STEERING FAILS. AFTER TURNING OFF/ ON CAR THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED, BUT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY SUSPECTED IT COULD BE DUE TO THE BATTERY, WHICH I HAD REPLACED. ONCE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT PROBLEM REGARDING THE POWER STEERING IN 2013 HONDA ACCORDS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

THIS IS CAR HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT AND USES ABOUT 1QT OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES! I CURRENLTY HAVE 40% LEFT ON MY OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW! VERY EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION!! SO DISAPPOINTED IN MY FIRST HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HONDA OF HACKETTSTOWN (48 US-46, HACKETTSTOWN, NJ 07840 (908) 852-6200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A MALFUNCTIONING STARTER MOTOR THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,536.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD HAS AN AUTOMATIC STARTER AND THE STARTER HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 50K MILES ON IT. WHEN YOU PRESS THE AUTOMATIC STARTED THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO POWER ON BUT THE STARTER IS NOT WORKING. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED, IT WOULD TAKE 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS.

CAR IN THE MORNING HESITATES JUST PULLING OUT OF ITS PARKING SPACE. PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WON'T MOVE. PUT IT IN DRIVE AND SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S TRYING TO WARM UP MAYBE? WHEN IT DOES START MOVING, IT RUNS AT 5-10 MPH AT 3K RPMS. I LET IT ROLL SLOWLY AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTS TO DRIVE NORMAL. GOING UPHILL, I EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR ISSUE WHERE THE CAR IS RUNNING AT VERY HIGH RPMS AT LOW SPEEDS. I GET THE EFFECT IN ECO AND IN S MODE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. CAR IS A 2013 HAS ABOUT 42K MILES AND STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ABOUT 4-5K MILES AGO. I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WASN'T WARM ENOUGH OR BECAUSE ITS A 4 CYLINDER. LOOKING FURTHER INTO THIS NOTED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA'S CVT.

FOR THE PAST YEAR THE CAR HAS FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE ONLY WAY I'VE FOUND TO GET IT STARTED IS TO USE AN EXTERNAL BATTERY JUMP. EVEN THEN THAT ALSO FAILS ABOUT A THIRD OF THE TIME, THOUGH WAITING SOME TIME ENABLES THE JUMP TO WORK. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS "PROBABLY" THE STARTER AND WANTS $1,000 TO FIX IT. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES AND THE STARTER SHOULD NOT FAIL AT THAT AGE.

THE CAR HAS A PUSH BUTTON CRANK ALSO WOULDN'T START AT ALL AND HAD TO JUMP STAT IT THE OTHER DAY AFTER WORK. AT TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES FOR CAR TO CRANK. IT IS SAID TO BE THE STARTER THE CAR IN VERY OLD LOW MILEAGE AND HONDA HAS HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINS AND THIS IS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMP STARTED AT MY WORK IN GRAHAM NC. FEEL THAT HONDA IS NOT RESPONDING TO THE COMPLAINTS AND FIXING THE ISSUE. WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA IF THIS IS WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY HAVE REGARDING THREAT PRODUCTS!
