2013 Honda Accord complaints

PUSH BUTTON STARTING ISSUES

INTERMITTENTLY CAR STARTS WITH STARTER CLICK NOISE ALMOST EVERYDAY ON BOTH COLD AND HOT WEATHER. BATTERY REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RAN INSIDE THE HOME TO FETCH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER; HOWEVER, UPON RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE, IT WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INSURANCE LOT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED, BUT THERE WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE INVOLVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 06150747. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. UPDATED 11/06/17*LJ *JS

MY CAR IS 2013 ACCORD BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM GARDENA HONDA AND NO OTHER MECHANIC TOUCHED IT. SINCE 2013, I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR AT THE SAME LOCATION. MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE HOWEVER, ONCE I RECEIVED THE BATTERY RECALL LETTER I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR INTO GARDENA HONDA. PLEASE NOTE MY CAR STILL HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. AUGUST 2017 I WENT TO GET MY CAR CHECKED FOR THE BATTERY RECALL THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT THEY APPLIED KONSHI BOND TO PROTECT BMS. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER WORK MY CAR DID NOT START (STATIONARY). CHECK ENGINE WAS ON, CHECK STEERING LIGHT ON & TRACTION LIGHT ON PLUS LOW PRESSURE ON. I IMMEDIATELY FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO IT. HONDA SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THAT NOW THE PROBLEM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BATTERY. INSTEAD, IT WAS MY ENGINE WIRE HARNESS. THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED FOR A PRICE OF ~$2,800 BUT THEY COULD LOWER IT TO $669.15 + TAX I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM IN HONDA. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR. BACK IN MARCH 2016 THEY TOLD ME BY BATTERY FAILED THE BATTERY TEST AND DECIDED TO CHARGE IT. NOVEMBER 2016, THEY MADE ME BUY A NEW BATTERY, AT THAT TIME MY CAR WAS STILL BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS COINCIDENCE. I GOT A HONDA FOR RELIABILITY REASONS. I ALSO KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SERVICE THE CAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE 3 TIMES AND I SHOULDN'T BE CONCERN OF MY 2013 HONDA CAR THAT STILL HAS

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

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

SOMETIMES WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED, NOTHING HAPPENS. THE CAR WON'T START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 16 AUG 2017. THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE STARTER. I SAID NO. THIS IS A CAR WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. SOMETIMES I NEED TO TURN THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS OR CRANKS OR DOES ANYTHING. DEALER ALSO SAID IT WOULDN'T START WITH THEM.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION: I HAVE A 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH 74,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE ACCORD ENGINE HAS STARTED USING OIL. AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE THERE WAS ONLY 1 QUART OF OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE. CONSUMPTION TESTING DID NOT SHOW 1 QUART/1,000 MILES SO NOTHING WAS DONE BY HONDA. BETWEEN 2,000 AND 3,000 MILES OF THE CONSUMPTION TEST OIL WAS CONSUMED AT A RATE OF 1 QUART OR MORE PER 1,000 MILES. HONDA STILL DID NOTHING. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT NO WHERE. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL HONDA'S SINCE 1987 BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER BECAUSE OF THIS WILLINGNESS TO DO NOTHING. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY TIME I STOPPED FOR GAS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT (ITS A LITTLE ORANGE STEERING WHEEL WITH AN ! NEXT TO IT) COMES ON AND THE WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. THE CAR ALSO FEEL UNSTABLE AS IF I WERE DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE IN HIGH WIND. THIS HAS HAPPEND TWICE SO FAR IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. BOTH TIMES WERE AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO A 45 MIN COMMUTE. LUCKILY FOR ME IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT AFTER A MINUTE TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM.

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

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

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AC FOR 15 MINUTES; A LITTLE SMOKE STARTS TO COME OUT OF THE CENTER CONSOLES TWO VENTS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE FOR OVER 15 MINUTES. THE SMOKE LAST FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS THEN STOPS. ONCE IT IS DONE, A SLIGHT ODOR OF BURNED ELECTRICAL CAN BE NOTICED.

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

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE STEERING LOCKED, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON 07/18/2017 AND 04/20/2017. I THANK GOD FOR MY LIFE

THIS IS AN UPDATE ON WHAT I EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD 7/4/2017. ON THIS DAY WHICH WAS INDEPENDENCE DAY MY EPS LOCKED UP WHILE LEAVING SOUTH CAROLINA HEADED BACK TO NORTH CAROLINE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO EXAM THE CAR TO SEE WHY THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP. AS I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I NOTICE SEVERAL ISSUE WITH THE EPS SYSTEM IN THIS YEAR MODEL. I READ THAT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS GIVEN ON THE TORQUE SENSOR 5 YEAR. AS HONDA DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE THEY DID THE UPDATE AND REPLACED THE TORQUE SENSOR, BUT THE PART THAT WOULD ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO WORK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT WAS THE CONTROL UNIT. I LOCATED ANOTHER ARTICLE AN IT ALSO HAD THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS WELL, BUT EXTENDED THIS WARRANTY TO ONLY THE FIT AND CIVIC NOT THE ACCORDS. I WILL BE WRITING A LETTER TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY WOULD ONLY EXTEND IT TO THOSE TWO CARS WHEN ACCORD ARE THE NUMBER #1 SELLER. THIS WAS MY SECOND HONDA CAR AND OVER ALL MY FAMILY HAVE PURCHASED 4 HONDA CARS. THE COST FOR THE CONTROL UNIT WAS ALMOST $600.00 WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY AND HONDA SERVICE BROUGHT THE BALANCE TO $500.00 EVEN AS IF THEY WAS DOING ME A FAVOR. THE SERVICE MEMBER AND SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE AND RIGHT NOW AS A OWNER I'M NOT A SATISFIED CLIENT. IF EPS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHY WAS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM EXTENDED UNDER WARRANTY. YOU KNOW WHY IT WASN'T EXTENDED BECAUSE THEY WANT THE CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR SOMETHING AT

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

MY CARE IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. OIL LIGHT WARNING DOES NOT COME ON.

THE ENGINE STARTED EXCESSIVELY CONSUMING OIL ONCE IT PASSED 60,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT APPEARS TO BE BURNING OIL AT A RATE OF 1/2 QUART PER 1,000 MILES.

7/4/2017 WAS OUT OF TOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND MY EPS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN LEAVING A FUNCTION. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AS NORMALLY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TRYING TO RESET THE CAR THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITH THE WHEEL AND STEERING HAVE ISSUES. WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA AND HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED. NOW MY CAR IS AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHICH IS THE COMPANY I PURCHASED FROM AND THEY HAVE TO DETERMINE WHY LIGHT CAME ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD WHICH I SHOW REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT A KNOWN ISSUE.

PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK SOMETIMES. GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME.

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

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WONT START WHEN START BUTTON IS PUSHED.

THE FCW 03 SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. ON JUNE 27, 2017 THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE FCW 03 CODE FLASHING ON AND OFF. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HONDA MADE RELIABLE AND SAFE CARS, BUT THIS IS PROVING TO BE UNTRUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR COMPANY ADDRESSING THE ISSUES AT HAND WITH MY CAR. THANKS

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

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TOOK IT TODEALER AFTER 3 HRS OF DIGNOSTICS THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS WRONG, I CALLED HONDA USA THEY ASSIGNED A INDIVIDUAL TO HELP,, NE NEVER DID ANYTHING AND WOULD CALL WHEN HE KNEW I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER IM CONCERNED AS I DONT KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS FAULTY OR THE WARNING LIGHT ABSOLUTELY NO ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA

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

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

AUTO HAS 37K MILES AND BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE NEW. RECENTLY, PUSH BUTTON START HAS FAILED, REQUIRING MULTIPLE TRIES IN KINDER TO START CAR. DEALER INDICATED THAT STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED FOR ROUGHLY $720. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

CAR KEEPS LOSING ITS POWER STEERING. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED, NOR HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT, IT'S EVEN GONE OUT SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. VERY SCARY WHEN IT GOES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE IN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STARTER MISFIRED AND TENDED TO BE STARTED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT RESPONDED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HERITAGE HONDA IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

ACCORD V6 COUPE BOUGHT NEW (AND SPOTLESS) AND NEVER IN ACCIDENT, 33,000 MILES AND 47 MONTHS OLD- CAR WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK WAS COMPLETELY FLACCID. THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ESSENTIALLY IN THE FULL RECLINED POSITION RESTING AGAINST THE BACKSEAT. IT COULD BE MOVED UP AND DOWN EASILY TO THE TOUCH WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LOCKING MECHANISM (IE IF IT WASN'T BEING MANUALLY HELD UP IT WOULD FALL BACK). I TOOK IT INTO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT "THE SEAT FRAME HAD FAILED." I CALLED HONDA TO TELL THEM AND, GIVEN THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, WILL CALL ME BACK IF THEY WILL COVER IT. AGAIN, DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME FAILED AND SEATBACK COMPLETELY FLACCID AND CAN OFFER NO BACK SUPPORT.

MY DAUGHTER HIT TELEPHONE PULLING IN A PARKING AT 50 MPH OFF OF A CITY STREET. SHE IS A NEW DRIVER AND WAS SPOOKED BY A CAR TAILGATING HER VERY CLOSE. THE DRIVERS SIDE CURTIN AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. BUT THE DRIVERS STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT AND HIS AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. THE SIDE CURTIN ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. BOTH PASSENGER'S WHERE WEARING SEAT BELTS AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. QUESTION IS WHY DID THE DRIVERS AIR BAG NOT DEPLOY?

POWER STERING GETS REALLY TIGHT AND WAS HARD TO STEER

STARTER PROBLEMS, CAR STARTS THEN DOES NOT START, STATIONARY

HONDA HAS A "LANEWATCH" CAMERA THAT A SCREEN COMES ON WHEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS DEPLOYED. OUR HONDA'S CAMERA FAILS TO COME ON LEAVING THE SCREEN IN A NORMAL MODE. THIS WOULD BE SUCH AS GAS MILEAGE ETC. DEALER AND HONDA MOTOTORS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO "REPLICATE" AT DEALER. WE CALLED THEM TO COME TO OUR HOME WHICH IS LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AWAY. THEY ALWAYS ARE BUSY OR HAVE AN EXCUSE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FORWARD READY TO TURN ON A CITY STREET. WE TOOK THE VIDEO TO SHOW THE TURN SIGNAL ON AND NO "LANEWATCH". WE HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT ON OUR REAR CAMERA BLACKING OUT. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX. DRIVEACCORD.COM IS FULL OF SIMILAR CASES. SEEMS LIKE A HONDA DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

WHEN REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPACE AND WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE EPS LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN/WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I SHUT OFF THE CAR 3 TIMES AFTER WAITING A MINUTE EACH TIME. THE LIGHT STILL CAME ONE AND THE WHEEL WAS STILL STUCK. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND RESTARTING, IT WENT AWAY. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND IT IS THERE NOW. THEY ARE STATING I MAY NEED TO USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR COVERAGE BUT AFTER RESEARCHING, SEEMS TO BE A GLITCH IN THE TORQUE CENSOR. HOPING THEY WILL DO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WITHOUT NEEDING TO USE MY WARRANTY.

I'VE OWN MY CAR FOR FOR 1 AND 1/2 YEARS AND IT'S DEAD FOR THE 4TH TIME I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED A MONTH AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE STARTER? IT WAS PARKED AT WORK FOR 4 HOURS THEN I MOVED PARKING SPOTS AND SHUT IT OFF TURNED BACK ON 10 MINUTES LATER TO CLOSE WINDOWS AND IT'S DEAD.

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE AT A RED LIGHT ON 5/21/2017. IT FIXED ITSELF AFTER 3 CAR RESTARTS (OVER THE COURSE OF ~5 HOURS). THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 5/22/2017 FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT. THE CAR DROVE FINE UNTIL 5/27/2017 WHEN IT AGAIN LOST POWER STEERING, THIS TIME WHILE NAVIGATING A TURN AT 50MPH ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WITHOUT HITTING ANY OTHER CARS. CLEARLY, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AND THEIR SOFTWARE UPDATE DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

FAILURE OF POWER STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY..WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAID SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED.. FEW MONTHS LATER LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND STEERING LIGHT COMES BACK ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE LOCAL ROAD.. IF YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR AND POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN

MY CARE IS CONSUMING OIL.

UNABLE TO START VEHICLE. PUSH BUTTON, LIGHTS BLINK, CLICKING NOISE BUT CAR WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES WORKS AFTER WAITING 1 HOUR OR MORE.

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE PUSH BUTTON START HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. SOMETIMES IT WILL START RIGHT AWAY, SOMETIMES ALL I GET IS A CLICK, AND SOMETIMES NOTHING. OFTEN HAVE TO PUSH IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WILL FINALLY START. THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB IS NEW, THE CAR BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED. I ASSUME IT'S THE STARTER FROM THE SOUND OF IT. ALL THE LIGHTS AND POWER WINDOWS WORK. I RESEARCHED THE COST AND IT'S ANYWHERE FROM 600-800 TO REPLACE STARTER, THAT'S MORE THAN THE CAR PAYMENT! THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD! CONSUMERS SHOULD BE PROTECTED AGAINST MANUFACTURES TRYING TO MAKE MORE MONEY OFF OF PARTS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE STARTER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. NOW IT COULD BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE ALONG WITH THE STARTER. TODAY WAS FINAL STRAW, AFTER GETTING ICE CREAM WITH MY 2 LITTLE KIDS IN 92 DEGREE WEATHER, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL! SO I HAD TO CALL A FRIEND TO PICK ME AND THE KIDS UP, WE HAD TO WAIT IN 92 DEGREE WEATHER! NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS EVENT WITH A NEW CAR! HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS STARTER DEFECT AND FIX STARTERS ISSUES IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU.

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

DID MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT HONDAS RECOMMENDED 15% OIL LIFE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN AUGUST 2013 LAST YEAR JULY 2016 WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AFTER A FEW MONTHS I WAS DOWN TO ABOUT 30% OIL LIFE I WAS DRIVING HOME I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE MOTOR I STOPPED AND CHECKED OIL IT WAS VERY LOW HARDLY ANY ON DIP STICK I THOUGHT MAYBE WHEN I DID THE OIL CHANGE AT DEALER THEY DIDN'T PUT CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL SO I THAN DID MY OWN OIL CHANGE TOPPED IT OFF RAN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND CHECKED OIL IT WAS FILLED I THAN DROVE IT AND AGAIN THE OIL WAS LOW BUT THIS TIME ONLY WITH 40% OIL LIFE LEFT I TOOK IT TO DEALER FEW WEEKS BACK THEY DID THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AM WAITING TO HIT A 1000 MILES TO TAKE IT BACK TO THEM

HEARD GROWLING SOUND FROM ENGINE WHEN COMING TO A STOP, OCCASIONALLY DURING ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS AND DURING COLD START. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE DUE TO LOW ENGINE OIL (3 QUARTS LOW) . HAD THE OIL CHANGED ABOUT 6000 MILES BEFORE THIS ISSUE OCCURRED.

WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE REAR CAMERA GOES BLACK, LEAVING ONLY LIGHTED TRAJECTORY LINES ON THE SCREEN. FOR 2 YEARS THE CAR HAS BEEN UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED STATIONARY AND MOVING. ON A CITY STREET ONLY. WE HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS AND PICTURES IF NEEDED.

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN 6 MOS. FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE STEERING BY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING. THIS TIME 4/20/17 CAN'T GET THE EPR TO RETURN!!! THE CAR WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES ON LOCAL STREETS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT AND HARD TO TURN LEFT AND RIGHT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO UPDATE THE EPS SOFTWARE AND ADDRESS THE EPS TORQUE SENSOR BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE MANUFACTURER SOLUTION WOULD PROVIDE A REMEDY TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

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