2013 Honda Accord complaints

AFTER ABOUT 2 AND A HALF HOURS OF DRIVING, MY BUTT (RIGHT SIDE) AND LEG WOULD HURT UNBEARABLY, TO THE POINT OF ME TWISTING AND TURNING TO GET COMFORTABLE. I WOULD PULL OVER AT A REST STOP, WALK AROUND FOR 10 - 15 MINS, BUT ABOUT 90MINS OF DRIVING LATER THE PAIN IS BACK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS IN BOTH FRONT SEATS. I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE BACK SEATS AS YET. I LIKE THE CAR, BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE.

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED IN THE VEHICLE, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. A CAUTION LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS WITHIN A FEW MILES OF A HONDA DEALERSHIP, SO I DROVE THERE. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON; AND, THE POWER STEERING APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS TRANSITORY AND I RESUMED TRAVELING ON I-95. LESS THAN 20 MILES LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND ONCE AGAIN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. I THEN DROVE APPROXIMATELY 250 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. LATER THAT SAME DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. AT THE SAME TIME, THE CAUTION INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TWO DAYS LATER AT ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP. ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT, WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC AT 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED THREE TIMES BEFORE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER. THAT DAY, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY CLEARED THE FAULT INDICATOR FROM THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY; AND, TOLD ME TO RETURN IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT 55 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ONE MORE TIME, ALONG WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT AGAIN APPEARING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT THE SAME TIME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME, THAT AFTER TALKING WITH HONDA ADVISORS VIA TELEPHONE,

THE CAR HAS LOST POWER STEERING ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST ONE AND ONE HALF WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME, 8/19/2015, AFTER WAITING AT A RED LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE THE TURN. I FORCED THE TURN AND COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, READ THE MANUAL, THEN TURNED THE CAR ON AND DROVE THE LESS THAN A MILE TO MY HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. ON 8/26/2015, AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN A HALF MILE FROM HOME AT NOT MORE THAN 20-30 MILES AN HOUR, THE CAR LOST STEERING POWER AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I RETURNED HOME AND DROVE THE CAR LESS THAN 20 MILES TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN WESLEY CHAPEL FLORIDA. THEY KEPT THE CAR. WHEN I PICKED IT UP ON 8/27/2015, I WAS TOLD THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE HAD BEEN DONE. ON 8/28/2015, I DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES AROUND TOWN DOING ERRANDS. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR TO BACK OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT, I NOTICED THE STEERING SYMBOL WAS LIGHTED AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STEER. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, THEN RIGHT BACK ON AND RETURNED HOME. I AM NOW GOING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER IN WESLEY CHAPEL.

WHILE CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED ,THAT CAUSED ME TO GO TO THE SHOULDER WITH BREAKING HARD TO STOP FROM GOING INTO THE GUARD RAIL.

WENT FOR LUNCH, AND PARKED MY CAR ON THE STREET. AFTER FINISHING LUNCH, ABOUT HALF AN HOUR LATER, GOT INTO THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO START IT. EVERYTHING WORKED, BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF (RADIO AND AC WOULD STAY ON HOWEVER). TRIED AGAIN, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED. FOLLOWED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING, AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. TOOK KEY OUT OF IGNITION, WAITED A MINUTE, BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. THIS TIME, TURNED OFF RADIO AND AC. CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF STILL. TRIED 2-3 MORE TIMES, AND CAR FINALLY STARTED, ALL WITH A TOTAL OF 4 WARNING LIGHTS. CHECK ENGINE, TIRE PRESSURE, POWER STEERING, AND ANOTHER ONE I CANNOT RECALL. TOOK IT THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, AND WAITED 2-4HRS FOR THEM TO TELL ME, THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. THEY ADVISED IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME, SO THEY GAVE ME A FREE RENTAL UNTIL IT CAN BE FIXED.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. UPON PRESSING BRAKE TO SHIFT TO "DRIVE" THE VEHICLE JOLTED MULTIPLE TIMES THEN ACCELERATED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT INJURING A PERSON WHO WAS BETWEEN BOTH VEHICLES AT THE TIME.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA NOVEMBER OF 2013 AT ROCK HONDA IN FONTANA, CA. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS FROM THE CAR SITTING SO LONG & IT BEING SO COLD.(THIS SHOULD HAVE SENT A RED FLAG). AFTER A FEW MONTHS & THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO START. I WAS THEN STRANDED ON THE FREEWAY. I CALLED HONDA CARE. THE FIRST DRIVER CAME TO MY CAR TOOK TWO MINUTES TRIED TO START IT, SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG (AS HE WAS RUSHING & DID NOT HAVE TIME TO LOOK) HE ASKED TO USE MY PHONE CHARGER, LEFT MY HOOD UP (WHICH CAUSED DENTS IN MY HOOD FROM BEING ON THE FREEWAY WITH STRONG WINDS) & LEFT. THE SECOND DRIVER CAME & HAD TO GIVE ME A JUMP START & DO SOMETHING WITH THE GAS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER UPON GETTING MY OIL CHANGE, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, & THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING. THEN MY CAR DIED AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN & THEY WERE SENDING SOMEONE OUT TO JUMP START IT BUT I WALKED OVER TO THE SEARS NEXT DOOR & THEY JUMPED IT. THEN IT HAPPENED 2 DAYS IN A ROW. THE FIRST DAY, THE HONDA CARE DRIVER HAD TO USE TWO SETS OF JUMPER CABLES TO JUMP MY CAR. THE SECOND DAY THE DRIVER HAD TO JUMP MY CAR AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I RECORDED IT. I THEN AGAIN BROUGHT MY CAR TO PENSKE HONDA IN ONTARIO WHERE I EXPLAINED TO A SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHAT HAPPENED & I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD HONDA CORPORATE ABOUT MY HOOD & HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO CALL HONDA CARE. THEY SUPPOSEDLY OPENED A CLAIM BUT

AT A STOP SIGN, MADE A RIGHT TURN. RIGHT AFTER I MADE THE TURN, AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH THE POWER STEERING ABRUPTLY FAILED. POWER STEERING FAILURE LIGHT THEN CAME ON. PULLED OVER AND AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND THEN BACK ON, THE STEERING WORKED AGAIN, THOUGH IT FAILED IN A SIMILAR MANNER AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 5 MINUTES.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. EPS IS THE PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE STEERING WHEEL THEN BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,015.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. SECONDS LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN UP AND WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. I IMMEDIATELY TURN ON MY HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS AND STARTED TO DECREASE MY SPEED. EVENTUALLY, WITH MUCH PHYSICAL FORCE AND EFFORT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT "SAFELY" OFF THE MAIN ROAD INTO AN ENTRANCE TO A CONSTRUCTION SITE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECOND, I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING RETURN TO NORMAL AND THE EPS DASHBOARD LIGHT WENT OFF. CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT CAN CAUSE GREAT HARM TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND OTHER DRIVES IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A HONDA ACCORD 2013 (JUST 2 YEARS OLD) WITH 59209 MILES ON IT. CAR SOMETIMES CLICKS AND WILL NOT START. SOMETIME IT WILL START AFTER ABOUT 5 TO 10 TRIES, OR WAITING FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS FINE ON THE FIRST TRY. I TALKED TO HONDA OF AMERICA ON 7/20/2015 AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE STARTER OR IGNITION GOING BAD AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR/60K POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT TO THE STARTER MOTOR AND REPLACED IT AND SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I THEN TALKED TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE SORRY FOR THE MISINFORMATION I RECEIVED AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE NEW CAR WARRANTY IS COVERED ONLY BY THE 3 YR/36K WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND THE STARTER MOTOR SHOULDN'T GO BAD.

I WAS MANEUVERING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A 6 TIERED PARKING LOT AND CUTTING MY WHEEL TO NAVIGATE INTO THE SPOT AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN. THEN THE ERROR LIGHT POPPED ON. WITH ALL MY MIGHT I HAD TO TRY AND BACK INTO A SPOT BUT COULD NOT HARDLY TURN THE WHEEL. WHEN I DID BACK UP TAKING UP 2 SPOTS I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND IT SEEMS TO ALLOW ME EASIER TO STEER (TOO EASY ACTUALLY) I THEN MANEUVERED TO GO INTO ANOTHER SINGLE SPOT AND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL IT LOCKED ON ME AGAIN BUT I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO GET INTO THE SPOT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND THANK GOD THAT IT WAS NOT LAST NIGHT AS I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT MIDNIGHT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A 2013 AT ALL. I AM SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS AND HONDA IS JUST TURNING THEIR HEADS AND HAVING US PAY FOR THIS MANUFACTURERS ERROR WITH OUR MONEY AND POSSIBLE OUR LIVES?

THE HEADRESTS CAUSE NEVK PAIN. THE HEADRESTS PUSH YOUR HEAD FORWARD IN AN UNNATURAL WAY ALMOST PUSHING YOUR CHIN INTO YOUR CHEST. I STARTED HAVING NECKPAIN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING. SO INTENSE IT WENT DOWN MY ARM AND CAUSED NUMBESS IN MY FINGERS. SPENT SERVAL DAYS GOUNG TO DOCTORS AND MRIS INJECTIONS ETC. THIS SUMMER MY 13 TEAR OLD STARTED COMPLAINING. WE NOTICED WHEN SWITCHING TO MY SUMMER 35Z THE PAIN GOT BETTER AND RETURNED WHEN DRIVING THE HONDA. THE SEATS ARE ALSO PART OF THE ISSUE I NOTICED AFTER 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING HARD TO GET COMFORTABLE. MY NECK SPINE AND LOWER BACK ALL AFFECYED. I FINALLT TRADED MY VEHICLE JULY 11 OF 2015 BECAUSE I COULD NO LONGER TOLERATE THE PAIN. IM VERY DISTURBED BY THIS AND THE PAIN BECAUSE I USUALLY KEEP MY VEHICLES A LONG TIME. .. UPDATED 09/30/15*BF

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2013 EX-L V6 ON INTERSTATE 405 IN WASHINGTON STATE BETWEEN BELLEVUE AND KIRKLAND WHEN I HEARD A LARGE EXPLOSION OVER MY HEAD. GLASS IMMEDIATELY FELL ON ME AND ALL OVER MY CAR. I LOOKED UP AND SAW THAT MY SUNROOF HAD BROKEN INTO MANY PIECES. THE BRUNT OF THE GLASS FELL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT SO I WAS LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS RIDING WITH ME, BUT I STILL HAD A FEW CUTS ON MY ARM FROM THE GLASS FALLING ON ME. OF COURSE, IN SHOCK FROM THE EXPLOSION, I SWERVED OUT OF PANIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ANOTHER ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE WAS ON THE RIGHT OF ME. HONDA DENIES THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AND THAT A ROCK MUST HAVE HIT THE SUNROOF, BUT I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS ON THE INTERNET DETAILING THIS SAME EXPERIENCE ON MULTIPLE HONDA VEHICLES. HONDA WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR IMPALED FROM THE GLASS. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE SUNROOF GLASS IS NOT UP TO PAR AND THERE WAS NO ROCK CONTAINED WITHIN MY VEHICLE AND I DID NOT HEAR A LOUD THUD WHEN THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FINE UP TO 9,205 MILES. WE HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BACK THREE TIMES TO OUR HONDA DEALER INCLUDING THIS ORIGINAL DATE FOR SHUTTERING, JERKING, VIBRATION,LAGGING AND LOSS OF POWER 0-25 M.P.H. WORSE WITH A/C OR ECON BUTTON ON AS WELL. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, TRANSMISSION JUMPED OUT OF GEAR THEN REVS OUT THEN GOES BACK INTO GEAR, THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED ONCE ON DECELERATION INTO A RESIDENTIAL TURN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER OUR LAST VISIT TO DEALER IN JULY 2015. VIBRATION SEEMS FROM DRIVE LINE IN GEAR AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL BY DEALER. THESE ISSUES I FEEL ARE NOT NORMAL. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR IN TRAFFIC AND ARE UNSETTLING BECAUSE WE ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE DAY FOR THE CAR NOT TO RESPOND CORRECTLY WHEN THROTTLE IS PUSHED AND A REAR END COLLISION TO OCCUR OR CROSSING AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THROTTLE RESPONSE, SHUTTERING, JERKING AND LAGGING IN POWER OR EVEN HAVE AN ISSUE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION.AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 55 M.P.H PROBLEMS WITH SHUTTERING AND LAGGING NOT PRESENT. ON 8-8-2014 THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT WAS MADE TO MY HONDA DEALER FOR THESE ISSUES. WE WERE TOLD BY DEALER ON THAT DATE THAT AN UPDATE HAD TO BE PERFORMED FOR TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY, P.C.M UPDATE, AND NEW C.V.T FLUID, THE UPDATE WAS TSB-013-053. WE RESCHEDULED FOR 9-6-2014 AND THE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED( MILEAGE AT THAT TIME 10,031). THIS UPDATE REALLY NEVER SOLVED THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT HONDA DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE IT. SEEMS LIKE SERVICE ADVISERS (WHO H

WHEN MOVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH OR MAKING A ROUTINE TURN, THE POWER SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT APPEARS. ALL POWER ASSIST IS LOST. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALERSHIP AT LEAST THREE TIME. PROBLEM NOT CORRECTED. DEALERSHIP SUGGEST TURN IGNITION OFF AND RESTART. THIS WORKS SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALWAYS. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY DUE TO THIS UNPREDICTABLE ONGOING PROBLEM!!! UPDATE 9/15/15*CW *CN

DRIVING DOWN HOUSTON FREEWAY WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME TOO HARD TO MOVE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LIGHT ON DASH FOR STEERING WHEEL CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE MY WAY TO FAR RIGHT LANE WHERE I WAS ABLE TO EXIT. ONCE I EXITED I TURNED OFF VEHICLE RESTARTED AND BOTH STEERING AND LIGHT WERE BACK TO NORMAL. I DROVE DOWN MAYBE 4-5 MILES GOING 30 (I DIDN'T GET BACK ON FREEWAY) AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN! ONCE AGAIN I STOPPED CAR AND RESTARTED WITH SAME RESULTS. I HAD ALREADY CONTACTED DEALER SINCE IT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE BEFORE BUT AT NIGHT IN A BACK COUNTRY ROAD. THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD DO A DIAGNOSTICS TEST FOR A FEE. (THEY HAVE DONE THIS TEST BEFORE BUT FOR 2 OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE THE KEY LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND THE REAR CAMERA SCREEN KEPT GOING BLACK) I REMEMBER THEN THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME SINCE THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM SO GLAD MY LITTLE ONES WERE NOT IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE ITS UNBELIEVABLE THAT WITH ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY SITUATION.

DRIVING THROUGH TOWN APPROXIMATELY 30MPH AND 3 YELLOW LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH. THE PRESSURE ,AIR TIRELIGHT, SKID LIGHT, AND THR POWER STEERING PER THE GUIDE BOOK. MY STEERING REMAINED OK, LIGHT STAYED ON. PICKED MY SISTER UP, ALL 3 LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. WE SWITCHED CARS AND DROVE HERS. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN HER DRIVEWAY UNTIL 3;00PM I HAD LEFT IT THERE AT 6;00AM.. AT 3;00 STARTED CAR, POWER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, STEERING STILL OK, LIGHT WENT OFF A MINUTE LATER AND HAS REMAINED OFF. MY HUSBAND IS WORKING THE NIGHT SHIFT TONIGHT SO HE IS TAKING MY CAR, I AM TOO FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IT, SEEING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND ACCIDENTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS! WHY IS TAKING THIS LONG FOR A RECALL? SO DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD!

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD I STOPPED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, AS SOON AS I MADE THE RIGHT TURN THE STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED UP TOT HE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT TURN PROPERLY. AS SOON AS I TRIED TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE TO A GAS STATION AND TURNED OFF CAR. ONCE IT WAS SHUT DOWN WE CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS FULL. CHECKED FOR ANY LEAKS COULD NOT FIND ANY. LEFT VEHICLE TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED. THE LIGHT DID NOT STAY ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME MANAGEABLE. WILL CONTACT DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. I DOUBT IT THOUGH, NOT UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE INCIDENT THEMSELVES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AFTER THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,800.

WHEN DRIVING THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD THIS MORNING AT 60 MPH FOR SEVERAL MILES, THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM LIGHT LIT ON THE DASH AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER TO TURN THE STEERING. AFTER ANOTHER MILE OR SO, AND BARELY BEING ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE, THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THIS MUST HAVE RESET THE COMPONENT AS THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS NOT IN A TURN WHEN THIS OCCURRED AS IT MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. 2 HOURS LATER, I WAS AT THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD CHANGE OUT THE RACK FOR $1700. THIS PART HAS A 3 YEAR / 36K WARRANTY. MY CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD BUT WITH 58K MILES (HIGHWAY). A RACK SHOULD LAST FAR LONGER THAN 2 YEARS, PLUS WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY, HONDA SHOULD BE WILLING TO FIX IT TO LEARN TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING ON FUTURE MODELS.

DRIVERS WINDOW WOULD GO HALF WAY UP STOP ON IT'S OWN THEN GO BACK DOWN AND STICK, DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUT. COULD NOT GET OUT OF CAR, HAD TO CRAWL OVER TO PASS. SIDE AND GET OUT. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STARTED EXHIBITING THE SAME BEHAVIOR, STILL NOT RESOLVED. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES HAPPEN, SAFETY ISSUE. BACK UP CAMERA WENT BLACK, THEY REPLACED CAMERA, STILL THE COLOR IS OFF AT TIMES, OTHER TIMES IT IS BLACK OR BECOMES DISTORTED, COLOR AT NIGHT IS IN NEGATIVE AT TIMES. SHOWED THEM THE PICS. AND I WAS TOLD IT DOES WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROB. THE DOOR IS THE MOST CONCERNING PART, IF MY CHILD IS IN THE PASS. SIDE SEAT AND I HAVE TO GET THEM OUT, AND THE DOOR DECIDES IT DOESN'T WANT TO OPEN, THEN WE HAVE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 8 TO 10 TIMES SINCE FEB. 2015, I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY DON'T SEEM TO HELP, I AM OUT OF OPTIONS. THIS IS ONLY JULY 2015, I NEED HELP IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER WITH THE DOOR, I CAN LIVE WITH THE CAMERA EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A FUEL ODOR EMITTED IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V297000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER STEERING. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON THE PROBLEM NORMALLY RESLOVES. THERE WAS ONE INSTANCE THAT TOOK TURNING THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO RESET. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCUR ATLEAST 6 -8 TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURING. I HAVE SCHEUDLED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK.

I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE 35,000 MILES ON THE CAR, AND THIS IS MY 3RD SET OF BRAKES, AND SECOND SET OF ROTORS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ISSUE LOOKED AT, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT INTO A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE CENTER FOR A SECOND LOOK, AS THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING, AND FELT LIKE WOBBLING WHEN SLOWING. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT ROTOR. THERE WAS A LITTLE WOBBLING AND SQUEALING AFTER THE REPAIR, BUT THE GRINDING STOPPED. I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE MECHANIC, AND HE SAID IT WAS EXPECTED FROM NEW BRAKES. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS LATER BECAUSE THE WOBBLING STARTED GETTING WORSE, AND THE GRINDING STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE BRAKES WERE WORN COMPLETELY ON BOTH SIDES IN THE FRONT, AND THE ROTORS WERE GOUGED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE STEERING WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS OT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,600.

DROVE THE CAR ON WEDNESDAY, WITH NO ISSUES. ON THURSDAY, MY DAUGHTER WENT TO USE THE CAR. CAR STARTED, EPS WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, ON DASH. THERE WAS NO STEERING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. LUCKILY, I WASN'T FAR FROM THE NEAREST DEALER AND PULLED INTO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I TURNED MY CAR OFF WHILE WAITING FOR A TECHNICIAN. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN STARTED THE CAR THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING. THEY STILL TOOK THE CARE BACK TO CHECK IT OUT, BUT SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THEY SAID THAT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN I MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSOR(DTC 53-01), WHICH WOULD COST $674.88.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY EPS FAILED CAUSING ME TO BE UNABLE TO STEER MY VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THE EPS SYSTEM RESET ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-15 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR 2 WEEKS NOW TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. SO FAR, NO LUCK!

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AND THE CAR EPS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND COMING OF THE HIGHWAY RAMP. I LOST CONTROL OF ALL STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAR CANNOT BE CONSIDERED SAFE AT ALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTERWARDS AND WAS FORCED TOO WITHOUT POWER STEERING BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD I DONT KNOW WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED THEN.

I WAS STARTING TO DRIVE AFTER PAYING A TOLL ON A BRIDGE, WHEN THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. CAR TURNED 45 DEGREES AND WAS HIT BY A PETERBUILT TRUCK. THERE WAS $7000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. HONDA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

I STARTED MY ENGINE AND WAS BACKING UP MY CAR, WHEN I NOTICED I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I STOPPED THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AS INDICATED IN THE MANUAL. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME A BILL OF $1800 TO WORK ON THE POWER STEERING TO TORQUE SENSOR? AND THE PINS AND RACK? I'M TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN, BUT WHEN I AM DRIVING RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL FAIL. THIS IS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD COUPE, I DON'T THINK THE POWER STEERING SHOULD BE FAILING IN 2015. WHAT WILL PREVENT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM BEING JUST AS FAULTY? I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MODEL, BUT HONDA DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BE SITTING DOWN UNTIL PEOPLE ARE INJURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO RECOMMENDED THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14033 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED.

IF I WAS ON FREEWAY I DONT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. ..BIG SAFETY HAZARD.

POWER STEERING FAILED. UPDATED 9/25/15 *LN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 10 AND 35 MPH. UPDATED 12/28/2015*JS

I WAS DRIVING S ON I-55 A FEW MILES N OF WEST MEMPHIS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. I LOOKED ALL OVER THE DASH & FOUND A SMALL LIGHT SHAPED LIKE A STEERING WHEEL ON THE FAR LEFT OF THE DASH. FORTUNATELY I WAS NEAR AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO A STATION. TURNING IN & PARKING WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THE OWNERS MANUAL SAID TO TURN CAR OFF AND ON. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND I DROVE THE APPROXIMATE 200 MILES TO MY HOME. I PLANNED TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AT HONDA. TWO DAYS LATER THE KEYLESS IGNITION FAILED ABOUT TEN TIMES BEFORE FINALLY STARTING. THE DOME LIGHTS HAD COME ON BUT NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON & IT JUST BEEPED AT ME. PREVIOUSLY I HAD A LOW BATTERY (LISTENED TO MUSIC TOO LONG) WHICH FAILED TO START BUT EVEN THEN THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP & FLASHED. IT SEEMED LIKE BOTH INCIDENTS INDICATED AN ELECTRICAL OR ECU PROBLEM. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECREATE THE INCIDENTS. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR 3 1/2 DAYS WITH NO WORD. I FINALLY CALLED TODAY. WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T RECREATE IT SO COULDN'T DO ANYTHING! I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. I POINTED OUT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THE ARFC.COM SITE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TALKED TO HONDA ENGINEERS WHO CONTINUED TO CONTEND IT HAD TO BE DUPLICATED IN THE COMPUTER TO SOLVE IT. I STRESSED THE SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN WITHOUT SOLVING THIS. THEY ARE GOING TO DO MORE TESTING. AN HOUR EARLIE

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR THE 5TH TIME IN THE LAST MONTH. EPS LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON DASHBOARD, TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WAS ORIGINALLY CLEARED BY TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, BUT NOW FAILS IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1,700 REPAIR - THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

I'M IN MY EARLY 20'S AND RECENTLY DEVELOPED A SEARING PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK THAT WOULD STRIKE EVEN WHEN I AM LYING MOTIONLESS. I STILL WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHY IT WAS HURTING UNTIL ANOTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNER (2015) TOLD ME HE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE SEATS! I BOUGHT THE SACRO EASE SEAT ADAPTER FROM RELAX THE BACK ($269) AND IT FIXED MY PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. HONDA SHOULD NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OF THE HEALTH RISKS, REPLACE BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT, AND PAY FOR SOME SORT OF THERAPY.

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON; AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING POWER. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT. WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY I WAS ABLE TO STEER OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE SYMPTOM WENT AWAY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED ON. THE SYMPTOM AGAIN HAPPENED AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING.

SO THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, ONCE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND TWICE LAST WEEK (AFTER HAVING THE CAR DROPPED OFF TO FIX THE BRAKE TSB THAT CAUSES A SQUEAK ON TURNS). I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FROM AGGRESSIVE TO NORMAL DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOK AT MY DASH ONLY TO SEE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. ONCE THIS HAPPENS YOU CAN SEE THE MPG INDICATOR HAS A DELAY, A CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR OF THE CARS CONTROLS, LDW SWITCH NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, AND LDW AND FCW STOP WORKING. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE BUT YOU CAN TELL ALL ELECTRONICS ARE EXPERIENCING A DELAY OR ISSUE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NAVI AND RADIO. SOME OF THE LIGHTS GO AWAY AND COME BACK AS YOU DRIVE, AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FCW AND LDW WITH THE "FCW SYSTEM FAILURE" MESSAGE WHICH REMAIN, THAT GOES AWAY AFTER A FEW HOURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DEACTIVATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO TWO OTHER VEHICLES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. PRIOR TO ACTIVATING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE BRAKES OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

NO ACCIDENT. SMELL OF FUEL LEAK AT ALL TIMES BUT NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE SOURCE OF LEAK. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AFTER FUEL IS ADDED TO TANK.

HAD GOTTEN BACK IN MY CAR AFTER A STOP AT A RETAIL STORE. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST LIGHT WAS ON. I PULLED OVER AT ANOTHER STORE WITHIN A HALF MILE. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE TIRES FOR A POSSIBLE FLAT - NO PROBLEM. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND SAME SCENARIO WITH THE 3 LIGHTS ON. ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING BUT STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. I LOOKED IN CAR MANUAL, PAGE 6 OF HONDA TECHNOLOGY REFERENCE GUIDE, UNDER THE HEADING OF MALFUNCTION INDICATORS AND IT SAID, "IF AN INDICATOR REMAINS ON, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM; SEE YOUR DEALER". I WILL CALL MY CAR DEALER IN THE MORNING. I WANT TO STATE THAT I STILL HAD FULL CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING. I READ OF OTHERS LOSING THE POWER STEERING BUT MINE WAS OKAY. AFTER THE SECOND STOP THE 3 MALFUNCTIONING INDICATOR LIGHTS WENT OUT.

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TODAY I GOT A BLINKING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT LOOKED LIKE A BATTERY. I LOOKED IT UP IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND IT SAID "BATTERY NOT CHARGING" AND TO "CONTACT THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIRS". I'LL CALL THEM TOMORROW. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO GET IT JUMPED AND LATER TOOK IT IN. THEY REPLACED AN UNDER DASH RELAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN OK OTHERWISE.
