2013 Honda Accord complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FIRST INTERIM NOTICE CONCERNING AN AIR BAG RECALL HAD BEEN RECEIVED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, BUT THE PARTS HAD NOT BEEN SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SUPPLY THE DEALER WITH PARTS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

APPARENTLY, HONDA HAS BEEN USING WIRING HARNESSES THAT ARE COATED IN SOME SORT OF SOY BASED MATERIAL IN AN EFFORT TO GO GREEN. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS HAS RESULTED IN AN UNWANTED CONSEQUENCE OF RODENTS BEING ATTRACTED TO MY CAR. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO CHEW THROUGH THE WIRES AND THIS CAN RESULT IN A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL FROM HONDA. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY DID TO THE VEHICLES THEY MANUFACTURER, AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE MAKING US VEHICLE OWNERS PAY FOR THE REPAIR BILLS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO? I'VE READ ONLINE THIS IS NOT JUST AFFECTING VEHICLE OWNERS IN RURAL AREAS, BUT OWNERS WHO LIVE IN CITIES LIKE I DO. SO FAR, I'VE HAD TO USE SOME BITTER APPLE SPRAY THAT ONLY CAUSES THE RODENTS TO TRY NIBBLING ELSEWHERE IN THE ENGINE BAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES, BUT I CAN TAKE SOME UPON REQUEST. I'D HATE TO BE DRIVING WHEN SOMETHING FAILS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE CONTACT COASTED TO A FUEL STATION AND THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE STEERING ABILITY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

FOR THE LAST YEAR, THE CAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START AFTER PARKING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. USUALLY AFTER A FEW KEY TURNS IT WILL START. A MONTH AGO IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL SO WE TOWED IT. THE DEALERSHIP DECIDED IT WAS THE STARTER. AFTER 37,000 MILES? IT'S A HONDA! IT WORKED FINE FOR 5 WEEKS AND THEN IT DIED AGAIN AFTER BEING DRIVEN JUST A FEW MILES. THIS TIME THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND CLICKED FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER TOWING IT, THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP TO A JUMPSTART AND IT STARTED! THREE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH SO THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. I CALLED THEM A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. I HATE LETTING MY WIFE DRIVE AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE.

MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS DID NOT OPEN DURING THE WINTER SEASON. I SUSPECT THEY WERE FROZEN FROM THE COLD WEATHER. BUT THEN AGAIN IT ONLY OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. SOMEWHAT OF AN SAFETY ISSUE I WOULD THINK.

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

I CURRENTLY HAVE THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING AND LANE DEPARTURE FAILURE READOUT DISPLAY ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING YELLOW SERVICE LIGHTS; FCW, LDW , ESP, ABS, ELECTRONIC STEERING AND TPS LIGHTS ACTIVATED. THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE SAFETY FEATURE, ANTI-BRAKING SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY ARE NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME AS I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING WHILE IT WAS SNOWING (VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY IN MOTION). I"M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR RESOLUTION FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION.

INTERMITTENTLY, MAYBE 30-50 TIMES IN TOTAL IN THE 112K MILES I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR, WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE START BUTTON, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE STARTER DOES NOT TURN. THERE A NOISE OF AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH TURNING IN THE DASH, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS THE STARTER SOLENOID. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I'VE READ OF A BRAKE SWITCH NOT TELLING THE STARTER IT WAS OKAY TO START, BUT HAVEN'T CHECKED THAT. I'VE READ HONDA REPLACING THE STARTER, BUT I HAVEN'T DONE THAT. SOME POSTS SAY REPLACE THE START SWITCH.

ON JUNE 26, 2015 WE DISCOVERED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED SOME TIME DURING THE NIGHT ON THIS 2013 HONDA ACCORD. MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN EARLY MAY 2015, BUT THE DAMAGE WAS MINOR. ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT. AROUND THE SAME TIME, HER MIRROR GOT KNOCKED OFF HER PASSENGER DOOR. I CONTACTED HONDA, WHO EVENTUALLY SAID THEY HAD DETERMINED IT WAS NOT A DEFECT AND THAT I NEEDED TO PURSUE A CLAIM WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE. MY CASE NUMBER WITH HONDA IS [XXX]. I MADE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, PROGRESSIVE. THAT CLAIM NUMBER IS [XXX]. I SENT NHTSA AN EMAIL COMPLAINT AT THAT TIME, BUT NEVER HEARD BACK. TODAY I RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE ON A 2012 HONDA ACCORD MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER OWNS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NHTSA HAS NOT RESPONDED. I ULTIMATELY PAID $2,984.60 IN REPAIRS FOR THE AIRBAGS. HONDA AIRBAGS HAVE A KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM. I THINK NHTSA SHOULD MAKE THEM REIMBURSE ME. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE INVOICE. MY EMAIL IS [XXX] MY PHONE (CELL) IS [XXX]. MY MAILING ADDRESS IS [XXX] PLEASE HELP. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS/SUNROOF: CAR PARKED IN OKC PARKING LOT FOR 11+ HOURS AND WHEN WENT TO LEAVE, ALL FOUR WINDOWS WERE DOWN AND SUNROOF WAS OPEN. CAR REMAINED LOCKED. THIS IS SECURITY ISSUE SINCE ANYONE CAN ACCESS VEHICLE AND EVEN OPEN TRUNK (NOTHING WOULD BE SAFE).

STEERING GETS PULLED TO ONE SIDE. THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE ALIGNMENT BUT THAT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE I SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING. I HAD THE EPS LIGHT SHOW ON MY DASH. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK TO NORMAL. THE STEERING WAS INCREDIBLY HARD TO TURN. A FEW HOURS LATER I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT AN ERROR CODE WAS LOGGED DURING INCIDENT: DTC 71-01 MOTOR ANGLE SENSOR (SIN/COS SIGNALS) UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ABOVE EPS FAILURE. THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE ISSUE IS "INTERMITTENT" AND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE STARTER ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L SEDAN BEGAN TO FAIL AT LESS THAN 50K MILES. IT BEGAN WITH THE SYMPTOMS OF NOT STARTING WITH THE FIRST PRESS ON THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION, WHICH I WAS TOLD BY HONDA MAY JUST BE A FAULT OF MY OWN FOR NOT OPERATING THE PUSH BUTTON SYSTEM CORRECTLY. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE INCORRECT AS ONCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE CAR STARTED TO REQUIRE MORE AND MOST "PUSHES" TO START. EVENTUALLY I WAS LEFT STRANDED AND THE CAR WOULD ON START AT ALL IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES I TRIED. WHILE THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE I WAS STRANDED, IN OTHER SITUATIONS THIS COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN INJURY, OR IN THE WORST CASE, THE LOSS OF LIFE.

THE TRUNK HAS OPENED BY ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS DEC. 26. IT IS ONLY WHEN IT IS PARKED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE LATCH, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

WHEN I STOPPED FOR PAYING TOLL, CAR DISPLAYED ENGINE LIGHT AND STEERING SAFELY LIGHT WITH JERKING SOUND, NOT ACCELERATION AND STEERING G LOCKED FOR FEW SECONDS AND THEN RELEASED . I PULLED THE VEHICLE TO PARKING LOT AND STOPPED...I STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER 3 MINUTES ... THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND (FCW) WARNING CAME... SAYS FCW SYSTEM FAILED . I LEFT THE CAR AT PARKING LOT AND TOWING BACK TO DEALER TOMORROW... NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS THE ACCELATION IS VERY ERRATIC AND CONSISTENT ...TRAVELING WITH MY KIDS AND SCARED OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR... IT IS ON INTERSTATE 294 CLOSE O'HARE AIRPORT .. CHRISTMAS DAY AND ALL REPAIR SHOPS CLOSED

PUSH START DOESN'T START THE CAR, THERE IS ONLY 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT THE CONTACT TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE WALL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE LEG, ARM, AND HAND. THE PASSENGER RECEIVED INJURIES TO THEIR COLLAR BONE AND KNEE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE EXAMINED FOR A POSSIBLE POWER STEERING FAILURE DUE TO AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS THAT STARTED AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE SAME FAILURE THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. UPDATED 01/31/17*LJ *CN

UNDER NORMAL USE, AT 77,185 MILES, PASSENGER REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED. WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. A RUMBLING TYPE NOISE WAS NOTICED AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40MPH LESS THAN 20 MILES PRIOR TO BRINGING IN TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR.

2013 HONDA ACCORD WON'T START. LIGHTS, A/C, RADIO, WINDOWS WORK. THIS OCCURRED AFTER 50,000 MILES. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN STEERING COLUMN AT FIRST TO GET IT TO START. NOW IT DOESN'T START AT ALL! THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY

THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON A FEW HUNDRED MILES BEFORE A TIRE BLEW OUT. I CONSIDERED THE TEAR IN THE SIDE-WALL OF THE TIRE BEFORE THE BLOW TO BE THE LIKELY CAUSE OF THE TPMS LIGHT ON (LOSING PRESSURE). AFTER A BRAND NEW SET OF FOUR (4) TIRES, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO RE-CALIBRATE THE TPMS, OR CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE MYSELF, OR TAKE THE CAR TO THE TIRE SHOP TO CHECK THE PRESSURES, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON NO MATTER WHAT. THIS IS AN ON0GOING ISSUE THAT CONTINUES DAILY, DESPITE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

WHEN DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN POWER STEERING FAILS ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASH ON AND OFF AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL'S SHUT OFF INCLUDING HEAT/AC. EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FCW, LDW, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

MY CAR IS NOT STARTING. TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING. NO DRAGGING NOISE AND NO CLICKING. ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON. SEEMS TO BE SO COMMON AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME WHATS WRONG BEFORE EVEN EXAMINING THE CAR. THEY SAY ITS THE STARTER. HAVING IT EXAMINED BY THE 3RD AUTO MECHANIC TODAY. ONLY 39,000 MILES, SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. FROM ALL THE RESEARCH I AM DOING, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THAT CONTACT STRUCK A DEER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN HOME AND PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V344000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TRAVELING ON FREEWAY AND A POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON (SEE IMAGE). THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND THE CAR WAS SLIGHTLY SWAYING (SIMILAR TO DRIVING IN A HIGH WIND AREA, EXCEPT THERE WAS NO WIND). ONCE EXITING THE FREEWAY AND DECREASING THE SPEED THE STEERING BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE. ONCE SAFELY AT A GAS STATION THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND TURNED ON AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. CAR WAS DRIVEN TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND SERVICING.

WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ALL FOUR REPLACED WAS DEFECTIVE THE ALL HAS 72,000 MILE AND NOW THE ABS HAS WENT BAD AND THE TPS SYSTEM IS BAD . THE ALUMINUM RIMS FOR BREAKING DO TO SALT CORROSION TWO OF THE FOUR RIMS BROKE COST TO REPLACE EACH RIM 435 IF THE RIMS AREN'T APART OF SAFETY AND ABS AND TPS ISN'T A QUALITY COMPONENTS DIDN'T KNOW CAR IS SAFE ON THE ROAD

MY 2013 IS AT 38,000 MILES AND I SMELL FUEL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING STARTED. I SHOW A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WHEN I ENTER MY VIN# IT SAYS MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL. SOMETHING IS GOING ON AND I THINK IT NEEDS LOOKED INTO. IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE RECALL FOR SOME MODELS, IT'S ODD THAT IT'S ALSO HAPPENING TO MINE BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MILES AN HR. ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES JUST BEFORE A TRAFFIC LIGHT SUDDENLY STEERING THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT AND I NOTICED A WARNING LIGHT ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER STOP THE CAR THEN RESTART IT WITHOUT A STEERING PROBLEM. MENTIONING IT TO MY SON, HE RECALLED HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MY CAR 3 WEEKS AGO. *TR

WHILE PARKING, BUT STOPPED, THE CAR SPED OUT OF CONTROL. FOOT BRAKE AND HAND BRAKE FAILED TO STOP THE SPEEDING CAR. IT LEAPED OVER A CURB AND INTO A RETENTION POND. THE DOORS REFUSED TO UNLOCK. DRIVER AND PASSENGER ESCAPED THRU WINDOWS AND ONTO THE ROOF. PREVIOUSLY, THE UNATTENDED CAR HAD LOCKED ITSELF AND WINDOWS AND SUNROOF HAD OPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE TWO FOBS WERE ON CUP HOOKS IN THE HOUSE. HONDA SHOWS NO INTEREST.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN PARK. VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL YOU HEAR A "CLICK" AND THEN PUSH THE "START" IGNITION BUTTON, THE CAR DOES NOT CRANK, BUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE CAR CABIN COME ON. REPLACED BATTER AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BEFORE VEHICLE WILL FINALLY START. VEHICLE STARTED DOING THIS AT ABOUT THE 33 MONTH OF OWNERSHIP (I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW). VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. HONDA DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANY FAULTS OR CODES. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO AND UN WILLING TO TROUBLESHOOT UNTIL THEY CAN DETECT A CODE/FAULT OR OBSERVE PROBLEM.

OCT 11, 2016, I DROVE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET. AFTER WALKED THEN CLASS, I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE. THE CAR DID NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY, SECOND TRY, BUT IT STARTED ON THIRD TRY. SINCE PURCHASED, I REPLACED BATTERY TWICE DUE TO THE ABOVE REASONS. I HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT'S STILL GOOD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

MY VEHICLE, A 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6, HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE A POWER STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON IN MY WARNING LIGHTS, AND THEN I WOULD LOSE THE ASSISTANCE OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. MY COMMUTE IS A SHORT ONE IN THE SUBURBS OF CHICAGO. HOWEVER, IF I WERE ACTUALLY IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, OR ON A HIGHWAY, THE EPS FAILURE COULD BE FATAL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING ACROSS IRVING PARK ROAD, AND I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. WHEN I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS LOW AND TOOK HALF A BOTTLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID TO FILL. THE PROBLEM RECENTLY RESURFACED TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM CLASS. EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, THE POWER STEERING NEVER CAME BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE POWER STEERING LATER RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ATLANTA INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH THE CAR BECAME HARD TO STEER ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND THE EPS LIGHT CAME-ON ON THE DASH BOARD. THEREFORE, I HAD TO MUSCLE THE CAR OVER INTO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT-OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT THEN THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT PROPERLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE SO FAR.

***HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF*** THIS CAR HAS A "FEATURE" THAT IS NOT DISCLOSED TO CUSTOMERS UPON PURCHASE WHICH CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR PROPERTY AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE KEY FOB IS PLACED IN A POCKET WITH KEYS (AS EVERYONE DOES), THERE IS A COMBINATION OF INADVERTENT BUTTON PRESSES (SPECIFICALLY UNLOCK / UNLOCK / UNLOCK) WHICH CAUSES ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND THE SUNROOF TO OPEN. THIS HAS LEAD TO MY CAR BEING SOAKED BY HAVING ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN DURING A RAINSTORM WHILE I WAS INSIDE MY OFFICE (WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED RIGHT OUTSIDE - THE KEY FOB WORKS FROM QUITE A FAR DISTANCE). IT HAS ALSO LEAD TO MY BELONGINGS BEING COMPROMISED DUE TO ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPENING WHEN I PARKED IN THE CITY AND WAS SITTING IN A BUILDING WITH THE KEYS IN MY POCKET, AMONG OTHER TIMES. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE SELLING DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS FEATURE AND I SHOULD READ THE MANUAL. IT IS NOT DETAILED IN THE MANUAL AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE IT.

2013 STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER TWICE BECAUSE THE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT ON THE 2ND TIME RIGHT BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRE THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT AND REPLACED THE STARTER. FAST FORWARD IN LESS THAN 2000 MILES AND LESS THAN 1 YEAR, I'M HAVING THE STARTING PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVING THESE ISSUES, I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR IN TO DIAGNOSE THE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES YET, BUT IF THE IS BAD AGAIN. I WISH THEY COULD FIGURE OUT IF THE STARTERS ARE BAD OR WHAT'S CAUSING THE STARTER TO FAIL PREMATURELY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE WHEELS LOCKED UP. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A CURB AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEELS LOCKED UP DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR CODE THAT WAS NEEDED TO UNLOCK THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,207.

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

AFTER ONLY 40,000 MILES, 2013 V6 ACCORD, CAR STARTER GIVING PROBLEM. CAR DIDN'T START AT ONE POINT AND AFTER MANY TRIALS, STARTED WITH JUMP START AFTER THAT, STARTED GIVING JERK LIKE ENGINE STALLS DURING DRIVING. SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION.

INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH STARTING ENGINE. DASH LIGHTS COME ON, BUT STARTER DOES NOT ENGAGE. SO FAR, HAS STARTED AFTER SOMETIMES EXTENSIVE OPERATION OF THE SHIFT LEVER. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED AFTER THE BATTERY WAS RECHARGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE DOME LIGHT. THE DOME LIGHT WAS REMOVED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TPM SENSOR LIGHT FAILURE, IT STAYS ON

TWO WEEKS AGO MY ACCORD BEGAN HAVING ISSUES STARTING. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY START AND I WOULD BE ON MY WAY. UNTIL LAST FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2016. I DROVE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE, PARKED, CAME BACK OUT TO START MY CAR AND WOULD HEAR A "POPPING" SOUND LIKE THE ENGINE WAS TRYING TO START UP, BUT TO NO AVAIL. FRIEND'S NEIGHBOR IS A RETIRED AUTO MECHANIC. HE LOOKED AT THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT THE BATTERY, AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE STARTER ITSELF. ALMOST MAGICALLY, THE CAR RANDOMLY DECIDED TO START AGAIN. DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO AN ADDITIONAL AUTO MECHANIC, HE TESTED THE VEHICLE (BATTERY, CABLE CONNECTIONS, WIRES THAT ATTACH TO STARTER) AND ALSO FOUND THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE STARTER. MY ACCORD HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT. THE TOTAL COST TO FIX THIS ISSUE WILL BE $680, KIND OF RIDICULOUS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FROM WHAT I'VE READ. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

THIS WEEK, WITH THE CAR AT 33,000 MILES ON IT, MY ACCORDS' EPS LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF WHEN STARTING THE CAR. IF IT'S LIGHTED UP AND YOU TRY TO DRIVE, YOU HOW NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. SOMETIMES IT TAKE UPMTOMFIVE TRY'S.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING (29,262 MILES) WILL NOT CRANK NOR START. THERE HAS BEEN NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS/WARNINGS, JUST WOULDN'T START ONE MORNING. IT'S PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB ALTHOUGH THE OTHER ONE WAS WORKING TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WHEN I PRESS IT THE CAR UNLOCKS AS NORMAL. THE INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE DIRECTIONS OF HOW TO START THE CAR STILL SHOW. THE CAR IS IN PARK, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES & PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON. THERE IS A SLIGHT BEEPING SOUND AND A FEW LIGHTS SHOWING IN THE DASH, BUT IT WON'T START. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN THE ACCESSORY MODE COMES ON AS NORMAL. THE RADIO PLAYS, MY PHONE CONNECTS, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORKS, LIGHTS WORKS FINE, ETC. WHEN I PRESS IT ONCE TO TURN IT OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE AC COMES ON, & ALL THE PRE-PROGRAMMED WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ONE BY ONE WITH A BEEP. FINALLY I PRESS IT ONE FINAL TIME TO TURN IT OFF. SO EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, IT JUST WON'T START. THIS LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THE STARTER HAS GONE OUT LIKE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO VERIFY THAT. AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS & 29,000 MILES, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. AND I DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $700-$800 WHICH IS ESTIMATED STARTER REPLACEMENT COST.

TPMS LIGHT ILLUMINATES EVEN THOUGH ALL TIRES HAVE THE CORRECT PRESSURE. TWO VISITS TO THE DEALER HAVE NOT RESOVLED THE ISSUE.

I AM THE 1ST OWNER OF MY ACCORD.THE ISSUE OCCURS WITH THE CAR BEING STATIONARY AND PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY, PARKING LOT OR ON A STREET. WITH IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING MY CAR. I WOULD TURN THE KEY THE DASH AND ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS WOULD LIGHT UP BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY WAS FINE. IT WOULD TAKE 3 TURNS OF THE KEY TO GET IT STARTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 8/17/16 AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A BAD STARTER. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS $900-$1000. THE CAR HAS 35000 AND I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 3 YEARS.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT AND VEHICLE STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING FELT VERY LOOSE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHTS WENT AWAY. WENT TO THE STORE AND THE TWO LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK OFF AND THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY AGAIN. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVE LOST CONTROL WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW.
