2013 HONDA Accord

The car pulls hard to the left all the time. This occurrence has been reported by many others, but Honda has yet to issue a recall. My mechanic says Honda ran out of a regular front-end part and substituted an inferior part on some models over several model years. I have developed shoulder problems requiring surgery from fighting to keep the car in the lane for so long now. I fear it is just a matter of time before this issue causes death or dismemberment, if it hasn’t already.

Last week, I experienced steering issues and brought my car to the dealership in Dartmouth, MA.

My VIN # is associated with the Warranty Extension EPS Torque Sensor but my car did not populate the codes associated with this warranty, just like many complaints I have seen online. I am now responsible to pay $3,000 out of pocket for this service.

I contacted the manufacturer today. Honda said because my car did not pull the codes they can’t do anything for me.

The dealership did let me know my car is unsafe to drive as I could lose control at any time.

The dealership let me know I needed my power steering gear box replaced.

A few days after the recall work was completed the car would not start when I pressed the start button. It went into accessory mode instead of starting. Every day since then it has intermittently started after several attempts. It sometimes requires four, five or more attempts to start the engine. We replaced the battery on May 4, 2019. The intermittent starts continue. I found several internet sites that list other 2013 Honda Accord owners experiencing the same problem with no positive

Unexplainable / unwarranted variably loud roaring sound appearing to come from rear wheel / back of vehicle and seems to be louder at faster rates of speed such as highway speed limits as well as in combination related to the sharpness of, if any, turns encountered.

Sun visor driver side broke and didn\\\\\\\'t stay up.

VSM brakes modulator failed as soon as I bought it and paid fix 1600.
I\'ve found the modulator wire made by soybeans and rabit or mouse bited it and broke it. The car company must promiss for safe to the driver and it happens by maker\'s failure that made by soybeans to involve the animal chewed to threaten safety.

I have spent more than the $184.25 in total. In 3 separate attempts to resolve the soy based wiring attracting rodents/rabbits issue, the issue continually persists with no relief in sight. I\'ve even spent over $300 on a separate occasion to have a Honda dealer try to tape up as much of the wiring harness as possible, but to no avail. The rabbits/squirrels/rodents have chewed through that! These car manufacturers that have opted to use the soy based coating are solely responsible for this mess that millions of car owners across the country are facing. It is NOT right for any of us to PAY out of pocket for their shortsightedness.

Mouse nest discovered in engine area. Malfunction light came on due to mouse chewing through tubes to the gas tank. Needs a new gas tank to fix the problem.

2013 Honda Accord uses oil on an erratic basis in between oil changes. Since it does not consume more than 1 quart every 1,000 miles Honda refuses to do anything. I have 74,000 miles and between 2,000 and 3,000 mile range oil consumed is equal to or exceeds 1 quart. Last oil change the accord only had 1 quart remaining in the engine. I purchased extended warranty to 125,000 miles.
I have purchased several Honda\'s in the past since 1987 but will never again due to lack of customer care.

The car 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.

My car is consuming oil

My car keeps on burning threw a lot of engine oil. Just yesterday I heard the car make a weird noise so I checked under the hood and everything looked fine but when I checked the dipstick it was empty, what makes it weird is that it still has about 50% of the oil life left. I had to add 4 quarts to it, This is not right, What should I do

The 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 on-going issue that occurs every day, under all driving conditions.

TPMS Warning Light stays On, tire pressure has no problem

The head restraint on this car causes extreme pain. Stiffening of the neck causes my ability to turn left and right after 5 mins of driving. Lumbar support is insufficient and causes lower back pain along with numbness of my legs. These issues lead me to believe that the FRONT SEATS on this car are a safety risk. They should be replaced.

The drivers seat is built is such a way that is is the cause of sever back pain.

I have a 2013 Honda Accord lease with 17,000 miles on it. I was told today that the reason my air conditioner does not work is because of two holes in the condenser caused by stones/road debris. The cost to fix this issue is approx. $600.00. This repair is not covered by the 36/36,000 mile warranty. After doing some research I have found that Honda was sued in 2012 (Alin v American Honda Co., Inc.) regarding this issue and yet no fix seems to have been implemented. It appears the condenser is very close to the grill allowing debris to enter through the grill and cause damage. I could fix this today and have it happen again on the way home and were I stupid enough spend another $600.00 to fix it. It seems Honda does not want to re-design and spend their money but have no problem taking mine. This is my last Honda!!

the seats on this car terrible. i cant sit in this car for more than a half hour or my back, legs and buttock start to hurt. the seat is too narrow for wide shouldered people. My shoulders stick past the seat and i get pain in my shoulders because they get pinched by the hard, narrow seats. the lumber support is horrible because it sticks into my back and causes pain. the seat bottom is very hard and my buttock goes numb if i sit on it for more than a half hour. Honda should at least make power seats standard with multiple settings because these seats are hurting people. i would never take this car across country because these seats are like sitting on cinder blocks. Honda should at least offer chiropractic seat cushions as options to buy so a customer doesn’t have to suffer. Someone is going to get a blood clot from these horrible seat designs as well as many people willing be visiting a chiropractor.

After about 2 and a half hours of driving, my butt 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.

Driver’s seat is causing so much pain I cannot drive, wake up in pain.

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 seat/headrest is the main issue. It pushes my head to far forward and makes it very comfortable to drive. I love my car except for the seat/headrest. I am considering trading in the car for something different or replacing the headrest and/or seat. Though I feel after buying the car new and opting for the model with extra adjustable seat I should not have to. I believe the long-term implications for this issue, as it appears to be a common problem with many of the newer cars, is that people will remove or modify their headrest creating an unsafe restraint system during an accident.

Radio has with interference noise and fading of radio signal

Head rest on seats is very uncomfortable, feels like you need to keep your head down while driving.
We decided to remove the head rest, even thou it is a safety feature

The vehicle since new & delivery has had a slight vibration which has gotten worse.I returned the vehicle to the dealer and a front wheel bearing was replaced. The vibration has continued. I took the vehicle to a different Honda dealer who stated. they all have that vibration. I called the Honda company and was told they have a problem with the transmission . They do not have a fix at this time. If something is discovered to correct the problem they will contact me?? It feels somewhat like snowtires on all four wheels. Or driving on small rumble strips. Can you help me. The vehicle has less than 5000 miles.Vibration is very noticeable in the steering wheel.( When I was making a previous compl. after I entered my vin # the screen closed out??)
NOTE: I started a previous compl. and after I entered my veh number the screen closed out???

I have developed severe neck and back aches due to the design of the drivers seat. I have adjusted the seat in everyway possible and in just two weeks, I can’t move my neck properly due to this problem

Shortly after purchasing my 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L w/NAV, I started having severe and lingering back pain. It is NOT POSSIBLE to adjust the drivers seat into a comfortable driving position. Within 10 minutes, legs/hips begin to go numb, fatigue forms in arms. Constant adjusting and re-adjusting the 8-way seat does no good, especially when driving down the freeway. This is an accident waiting to happen. Even with the lumbar feature disengaged, there is a constant pressure on the lower back and the seat itself seems too small for an average adult (5’7″, 188 lbs). At the 400 mile mark, I returned to the dealer with my complaint and asked them to buy the car back from me. They offered approximately $5,500 less than I paid 7 days earlier when I purchased it. Unable to absorb such a loss, the car now sits in my garage and is rarely driven. I have never suffered with back pain of any kind. I have had to take ALEVE since the pain often lingers long after you’ve exited the vehicle. I traded in my 2004 HONDA ACCORD which was the most comfortable car I’ve driven, never had a complaint. But this new model has seats that are simply unacceptable. HONDA has to recognize this and make good on this purchase. The salesman denied ever hearing of this type of complaint, but the internet is full of sites devoted to this exact complaint, so I know he’s heard it all before. I have gone so far as to investigate the possibility of changing out the front seats with an after-market set. After spending $33,000+ for a new car, that doesn’t seem right somehow.

Seat back is shaped like the letter “C” and forces a person’s back into an un-natural shape. Shoulder blades and pelvis are pushed forward with the middle back not having any support unless you are a hunchback. Front seat head restraints are canted forward at an extreme angle causing the head to be pushed forward with the chin close to the chest. A very uncomfortable position for longer than a ten minute drive.

This car has push button start. Can be stopped in any gear and I forgot to put in park and I went to get out and the car was drifting. Also has front collision warning, lane change etc. and the warnings are so low you can not hear them. This car is not safe for my age group of 67 and 71. I bought the car thinking it was going to be safe and we can not hear the warnings. Very disappointed. Honda says the warnings can not be turned up.

I have not listed a repair cost, as Honda deny’s that this is a problem. I purchased a 2013 Honda Accord after my former car was rear ended and I suffered severe whiplash and back pain. As a result of this I did not realize the poor design of the seat, and more specifically the head rests. In my test drive lasting 10 – 15 minutes I did not notice it, but after two weeks of ownership and driving the car 1 hour each way to and from work, I have noticed that the head rest sticks out so far that it is impossible to get comfortable in the car, and additionally, it hurt the thoracic portion of my middle back. I know this, because although I am still in physical therapy, on the weekend when I don’t drive the car my back hurts much less than it does during the week when I make my commute to work. Additionally this weekend my wife was a passenger in the car for a long drive and she suffered from the same pain that I suffered from. It is so bad, we had to cut our trip short. I contacted the dealer ship where I purchased the car and they stated that this is not a defect but a requirement by the US government. Therefore I am contacting you concerning help in resolving this issue.

(from the service department's invoice on 08/09/16) 2 sensor one wires chewed on by rodent shorting pcm. triggered shut off. replaced sensor. my complaint is that the wires were not vinyl but were soy and that's the cause of the problem. the car had to be towed to the dealer for repair. since the car was out of warranty, i was charged $422 to replace the sensor. i want a refund. i understand that there is a class action law suit against honda over the issue of the soy coated wires. ( my husband, roy baker, is most familiar with this issue.)

I was parked in an alley behind a coffee shop. i turned the car on and put my seat belt on and put it in gear. it suddenly lurched forward and struck a parked car one car's width from me, ricocheted and hit another parked car (which then hit the car next to it). i could not stop the car, though i tried; then i pivoted again and hit and took down the cinder block wall of a garage. i turned the car off either right before hitting the garage wall or right after. no airbags were ever released. in retrospect, after the shock at all the damage, i believe something was defective about my new honda accord.

My 2013 accord sport suddenly veered left on it's own and i hit a telephone pole breaking it in half. the air bags did not deploy. the car is a total loss and i am injured. i was driving in a straight line when this happened.

The first time, while driving on the highway, my car steered to the right as i was driving west. it was like i was loosing control. it terrified me. it seemed like i was about to go over the bridge. it scared me so bad that i began having anxiety issues when driving over a bridge. it has happened several other times as well. i can no longer drive on the highway because i am terrified. i now only drive streets at 35 to 40 mph. please listen to what i am saying. i felt like that it was something wrong with the car but didnt know what to do. i thought maybe it was just my imagination so i sought psychiatric advice. the doctor diagnosed me has being afraid of height, but i knew better. i have been driving these highways for years and never had any fears. please, please, please, please recall these cars. please don't let there have to be an accident before something is done to resolve the issue. we bought these cars in good faith of being one of the finest. because i felt like it was the car, i have already decided to get rid of mines as soon as i can.

I was making a right hand turn into a parking lot and steering wheel began spinning hard to the left. i was unable to control the steering. i took the car to my honda dealer and they told me there was complete failure of the steering column which had to be replaced.

Yesterday morning, (5-10-21), i was leaving for work in my accord. there was suddenly no steering and i was unable to make the right turn out of my driveway. had this happened on a winding road i'd be a 3500 lb. base jumper with no parachute. taking it to a dealer, terrified to drive the car after repairs.

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that her daughter informed her that while driving 20 mph, she loss control of the vehicle and blacked out. after regaining consciousness, her daughter noticed that she had struck two vehicles that were parked. the contact stated that her daughter picked her up and upon taking her back to the vehicle, she noticed that the front axle had detached from the vehicle. a police report was filed. no injuries were sustained. the vehicle was towed to a tow lot and deemed a total loss by the insurance company. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed by a dealer or an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 120,000.

My car steers to the right with no warning while driven. if i let go of wheel, it suddenly drift right. it happens on local road or highway. i had alignment done, tire rotation, that did not solve the issue. the drift comes and goes. the auto dealer says power steering is not covered under power train warranty. the tech at the dealer believe it's a sensor issue and not safe to drive as is. even after shut off the car, the wheel turns itself to the right.

On three occasions over the past two years the 2013 honda accord 2.4l sedan would not start. the first time aaa changed the battery. the next time aaa determined that the battery was fine but the car reacted with a fast clicking sound. pressing the brake pedal would not work and the gear shift would not move out of park. the third time we left the car for about 15 minutes and then it started. each time the car was left in the on position, in one case charging a cellphone, in another case listening to the radio. in the past i have noticed the smart entry system light come on and off but was told in one case (by a honda service rep!) that they could not detect a problem and noi code was registered. they said i would have to bring it in when the light was on but it is intermittent. i was wondering if there could be interference from my other car's remote key or my cell phone so i have been moving those to the back of the accord. i have attached screen shots from the warning light and two websites/blogs with many people who have problems that may be relevant. here are the links to those sites: http://www.continentalhonda.com/blog/honda-dashboard-warning-lights-explained/ https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/smart-entry-system-light-is-on.125729/page-3 https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t43926_ds666390 thank you

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle veered to the left inadvertently. the contact initially thought that the issue was because of the wind. the steering wheel then ceased. the vehicle was towed to hosmer honda (3825 4th st sw, mason city, ia 50401) and diagnosed with power steering failure. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unavailable. the vin was unavailable.

While driving my 2013 honda accord, it will suddenly veer left or right without warning. steering goes from tight to loose at any given turn/time.

When driving the power steering would stop working completely and vehicle operator could barely steer the vehicle. when going around a corner the power steering cut out and the driver skidded off the road but was not injured. we had to get this fixed because it was a life threatening problem. it cost us 2,500 dollars to get fixed. honda had to replace the power steering unit steering rack. this is obviously a manufacturers defect that honda should have paid for but we had to pay out of our own pockets because it was too dangerous to drive the vehicle.

My car’s steering wheel randomly jerks like it’s going to steer out of control, what i do is grip the wheel tightly and i’m able to gain control. it’s not often but it’s happened a few times within the past 2 months to draw concern. it’s always while i’m driving on the highway.

All the lights in the front panel that indicate flat tired, hand brake, abs, air pressure, etc are on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the steering wheel went to the right and was difficult to turn. the brake pedal was depressed however, was slow to respond. the vehicle was taken to honda of bridgewater (1201 us-22, bridgewater township, nj 08807 (908) 722-5566) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the steering needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 64,000. invalid vin.

I have changed my cars battery yearly since 2016. it always have a starting issue after several months. i have changed 4 batteries and the issue is still coming every year. last time was happened in a park when i was driving my kids. fortunately, my speed was only 20 mph and the car turned off and cannot start. if this happened on the highway, it would be very dangerous. i think the battery of accord has some problems as i always change the original battery from the dealer. my other cars only need to change battery after 4 to 5 years of use but my accord need to change a new battery every year. there must be some issues of the car it self. if this happened when i was on the highway, it would be really dangerous.

My car is facing no starting issues several times a year even though i have done every single maintainance on time at the dealership. this time the dealer told me it is a bulletin 19-034 and need a software update. this could be very dangerous if it happened on the highway. fortunately, it happened in a small park and i was driving very slow. there is always some starting issues of my honda accord since i bought it. i went to the dealership several times every year. sometimes the dealer ask me to change battery and sometimes the dealer aksed me to change all kinds of fluids. i have changed every single fluids, pcv valve, brake pads and rollters in the car almost yearly and the no start issue is still happening. i feel it takes me too much time and cost me several thousand of dollars every year is too much. also, if the turnoff happend on the highway it is very dangerous. i am hesitate to take my kids in the car since the problem. very annoying. also, the software problem should be solved by the manufacturer free but they are charging me every single time.

Water pump seized. drive belt shredded.

Excess vibration and oil consumption due to vcm operation. vcm also makes the transmission search for gears while driving at a steady speed

My car abs system proplem.

Engine continues to burn oil internally. honda dealer tells me that is impossible but acura had a recall for the same issue. oil fan humming, engine overheating. parked before engine locked up.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that after the vehicle was parked, the vehicle could not be restarted. the battery and the electronic starter were replaced several times however, the failure persisted. an unknown dealer was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Honda accord sport 2013 i4 cvt. cv axles are corroded due to failing paint finish. this corrosion gets inside the rubber resonator(donut looking piece), affecting the integrity of the axle. honda has recalled these axles in other states, but not in utah. i am the original owner of the car and have been denied by honda on replacing axles per the recall.

The windshield washer motor stopped working.

My chmsl lights were not working after 108,220 miles. i took the car to honda dealer and they quoted $258.99 for parts and $500.00 for labor to replace the high mount 3rd brake light. i took it to a private mechanic to get the car fixed who told me that factory-installed led chmsl had its quick connector without a stop tab therefore the wire was pulled out from the quick connector. i had to pay $250.00 for total repairs to replace led chmsl. the mechanic also mentioned to me that the manufacturer installed the part which was defective intentionally as it had some permanent markings on the led fixture. he also mentioned that the led fixture was functional except for the defective locking tab for the connector. the problem appears to be quality control and manufacturing defect.

Basically, my complaint is that i don’t feel that my starter should have to be replaced at 36,000 miles... i have only had the car for 9 months.. i also had to replace the front pads and rotors too.. basically totalling $640. in parts and 360. in labor.. i bought it directly from the dealership.. it has the push button start and it put out a “grinding sound” when i went to start it, then the front bakes started squeaking also..

Steering wheel turns to right when car is started...car steering on its own...very dangerous!

All the lights are basically on the 2013 honda accord ex which includes the brake, abs, tps. i noticed that even when i have not pressed the brakes, the brakes are applied by the car. expecially in low/idle speeds. this results in me habving to press the gas pedal and results in a rough ride. i took the car into the dealer today 4/1/2021. dealer states the car has a faulty vsa modulator and quoted $1400 for the part (57110-t2fa17) and $510 for the labor. also said the they need to bleed the brake fluid and replace it. and this same part was replaced back on 11/5/2014. this car is not part of any active recall, but the vsa modulator has now failed twice. the car was purchased brand new 4/20/2013. searching online shows honda recalled several other models and years for the vsa modulator. i have attached some of other recalls that affected the vsa modulator

Lost power steering and almost lost control of car !!

These 2013 earth dreams honda engines need to be recalled for excessive oil consumption. there are known issues with bad piston rings in this engines that cause over excessive oil consumption, which can lead up to engine seizure. honda has not addressed this issue which is affecting many 2013 owners. mechanics have made videos on youtube stating the same issue. please open an investigation to get these engines recalled so people don’t have to spend upwards of 5000 dollars to replace their engines when this issue should be fixed by honda. you need to issue a recall for these engines.

2013 honda accord v6exl starter makes grinding noise when being started. sometimes takes multiple trys to finally turn over and start engine. brought to dealership but they said they could not replicate the issue. only offered to replace entire starter system for $900.

2013 honda accord accord with 81k miles is burning oil about 1quart 1000 miles.

Steering rack/ pinion : cars steering wheel just randomly turning on its own to the left and become hard to steer when driving on highway at higher speed

According to uber, this vehicle [xxx] has been salvaged or has a rebuilt title. the dealer does not agree and carfax report denies being involved in any accident in the past. per uber " uber will be notified by nhtsa and reactivate the vehicle automatically." information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

This is to inform you i made an appointment for 2/20/2021 with my local honda dealership one week prior based on the recall letter received from your office. i was was physically there, i was told by one of the advisor that they ran out of parts. no future appointment were made by the dealership. not sure what is means but this was written under comments :da212407, from the "complimentary multi point inspection" form. personal arrangements were made to leave my car based on my convenience; the road conditions were very icy and treacherous to get there; my ride back home was waiting in the parking lot. after going through the process of checking in my car and leaving the dealership, then i received a phone call from one of the employees (yvonne) they could not accommodate me. in addition, i called your vehicle safety hotline yesterday 2//02/20/2021 to report this but your office was closed. i am very disappointed in the customer service i experienced. thank you for your anticipated cooperation with this matter.

I have not owned the car in question since may 2016 after this car was totaled in an accident and i keep getting calls from honda of pasadena (pasadena, ca). the process on the nhtsa website says that the manufacturer contacts car owners to notify them of safety recalls correct? are dealers allowed to use my personal phone number/data to solicit me for these repairs multiple times like this? i mean, the notification from the manufacturer appears to be enough; this will allow the customer to choose the dealership on their own. the practice of the dealership reaching out to me is more like an unethical practice to bait customers into getting repair money from the manufacturer. this is in fact baiting. please help and respond as soon as possible.

The power steering suddenly stop working almost causing me to crash my car.

When i push the start button it doesn't always start - get a grinding noise.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

My care is consuming too much oil. oil light warning does not come on.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 the end of the day. i know we all look for new improve ways to make technology better, but making an electric power steering was not a bright idea in my option. luckily i was not driving on a highway doing 70 miles an hour and the steering locked up it could have been fatal for me or someone else. today i think my option on purchasing a vehicle with honda will be last on the list.

Push button start does not work sometimes. getting progressively worse over time.

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.

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.

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

Vehicle intermittently wont start when start button is pushed.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Power stering gets really tight and was hard to steer

Starter problems, car starts then does not start, stationary

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?

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.

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

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.

Under light, medium, and heavy acceleration transmission slips, shutters, jerks  back and forth, hesitates and does not accelerate the vehicle properly.  when entering freeway the vehicles transmission slips, shutters, jerks back and forth, hesitates, engine revs loud, but transmission does not accelerate the  vehicle. these symptoms are consistently inconsistent and unsafe.

Unable to start vehicle. push button, lights blink, clicking noise but car will not start. sometimes works after waiting 1 hour or more.

My care is consuming oil.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

***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

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.

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.

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.

Tpm sensor light failure, it stays on

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Push start failure my car had 50000 miles on it when it started having trouble with the push start button. it did it once a week sometimes and eventually happened every time i tried to start the car. i took it to a mechanic and they were unable to pin point the problem. the starter checked out ok but since they could not find any other problem, they replaced the starter and kept the original incase i continued to have the problem they could return the original and give me my money back. it's been two weeks and so far i havent had the problem anymore. only time will tell.

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.

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.

The starter in my 2013 honda accord coupe failed after only 3 years and 55,000 miles. the car would not start when i pressed the push to start button and would finally turn on after numerous attempts. this went on for 3 weeks until the car would no longer start.

I parked vehicle on residential city street. returned to the vehicle 15 minutes later and vehicle would not start. many of the indicator lights came on. called aaa, initial technician responded and could not start the car by jumping with battery pack. battery tested ok. tow truck was called, operator tried to jump the vehicle again with battery pack and the vehicle started. tow truck operator suggested i tell the dealership he suspected the starter or the wiring to the starter was the problem. a/c prior to this event had been working now had no power. drove the vehicle immediately to dealership. vehicle was left and diagnosed with faulty starter. fuse was blown to a/c. (we did note that the car had been harder to start recently - having to turn the key more than 1 time to get the car to start. still this was hardly noticeable or apparent that a problem was developing.) starter and fuse to be replaced at dealership will be picking up car hopefully today. this was not merely inconvenient and unpleasant but extremely dangerous emergency for persons with health/medical issues - it was very hot out with poor air quality and passenger and myself were stranded and without a/c for 4 hours. concerned about this happening again and why this happened. vehicle is maintained, 3yrs old with approx. 35,000. i am seeing numerous similar/identical reports from other owners.

Go to start my car and lights and ac work fine. the engine does not want to turn over and takes several attempts sometimes and other times it starts right off. the battery is only two months old and the dealer said it was the starter which is going to cost me $700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the. dealer said that this is way too early for a starter to go out on a 3 year old car with 550 miles on it. i have researched this and have found there are hundreds of people across the u.s. having this same exact issue. this needs the upmost immediate attention as this is a very costly and detrimental issue and some of us have no money to fix this!!! this must be dealt with now before lawsuits start happening!

I am the first owner of my 2013 honda accord sport and 2 months ago i developed an issue with the starter. i've replaced the starter twice and tonight got stranded and had to call a tow truck to bring it home. i've gone to the honda dealer and, of course, there's an issue with the starter, but it will cost $1000+ to fix! this issue must be investigated and recalled as soon as possible. honda is fully aware of all of these issues and if you get the right technician at the dealership - they'll tell you honda is fully aware, but couldn't care less! 2 starters later - i'm still in the same position!

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the electronic power steering warning light illuminated and the steering wheel very difficult to turn. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 39,000.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

After my 100,000 maintenance in september 2020, my honda accord began having problems starting. since then, i have replaced the battery, the alternator and starter. when i start the car for the first time of the day, it starts. after parking the car after i have gone some place, the car will not start. then, i have to keep pressing the electrical start button until the car starts. so far, at times, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to re-start the car. i reported the situation to honda usa on 02/01/2021 and they said there are no recalls on this vehicle so they cannot help me. however, honda usa did start a case for me. my wife and i do not want to get stranded after driving some place. after reviewing the internet, the electrical starting system is a major issue for the 2013 honda accord. honda usa says you cannot believe everything on the internet. see carcomplaints.com. something needs to be done because it is a safety issue.

Headlight assembly is accumulating moisture condensation inside of it.

While driving on the freeway the electronic power steering went out making the car extremely difficult to steer. i was able to muscle the steering with brute force and get the car home. after sitting in my driveway for a few hours the problem improved (the power assist was back) but the car makes scraping sound when the wheels are turning.

When i start to take off the car stalls our on me for like 3 or 4 seconds, it has almost caused me to wreck a lot of times and my 2013 honda pilot does the same thing

Error lights on dashboard come up (lots of them) and in the center it states "fcw system failure". honda trying to charge me $1,600 to fix the errors and apparently this is happening to a ton of people. clearly something that needs to be recalled

My car suddenly starting being very difficult to steer to the right and when trying to steer to the left it spins. this occurs while driving. i live in the mountains so it is terrifying to think of the potential should i be unable to control the car and run off the road. the car is unsafe to drive and i fear for my safety so i took it to the honda dealership in boone, nc. this leaves me without a car to drive and no access to alternative transportation in my small rural mountain community. the dealership was unable to pull a diagnostic code from the computer. they used a diagnostic troubleshooting tree and found it to be an issue with the power steering rack and the repair would be nearly $3k. i have been a loyal honda customer for 25 years and expect better. this appears to be a widespread issue that isn’t being addressed by the company. there are hundreds of reports that i have seen online with this same issue so it is clearly a manufacturing flaw that needs to be remedied by honda. i am an elderly widow and need reliable transportation. i do not have the funds to repair this car and need assistance from honda and the nhtsa to help get this resolved. thank you for your assistance and urgent attention to this matter for me and the many many many others facing this same failure in the 2013 accord. please do the right thing. people’s safety should be foremost for any company like honda.

When we fill gas to the full tank, it is smelling

When driving or when car starts, several lights on the dash come on, fdw, brake, steering wheel, lane departure, abs... the warning fcw system failed flashes on message center. this has been doing for years on and off. has gotten worse recently on more than not lately. also the steering wheel has been locking up when i start my car.

Intermittent start button not engaging. new battery, new batteries in both fobs. usually occurs after initial start when you have driven, stopped at a designation, even just to gas up. you press start button, all lights come on, you turn it of and usually on the third attempt it starts.

While driving my steering wheel sharply turns left if let go of steering wheel. accidently i noticed i have a letter from honda to bring the car for steering gear software update where it references to two codes that if they are set honda will replace the steering gear assembly and extends warranty to 13 years after the purchase. dealer upgraded the software but test driving it and still car turns left sharply but their diagnostic is not coming with any code to say the what the issue is. the steering gear apparently is electrically driven. their recommendation is to replace it at my own cost of $3750. i directly contacted the honda corporate at 800-999-1009 and described the situation and a case number assigned (#11377924). separately discussing the issue with dealer management and they said they also talk to honda engineering to find the issue and hopefully at no cost to me. unfortunately a couple of days the case has been turned down and honda case manager indicated they are not willing to cover the cost. i argued this is a safety matter and accident can happen. your honda diagnostic could not come up with any code and you need to figure this out for your own sake and honda reputation, but to no avail unfortunately. dealer final offer was to give a couple of hundreds off of replacement cost. if there was a diagnostic and would be able to indicate the cause that would have been acceptable. currently this is a safety issue. i have the honda letter and dealership done the software upgrade but currently at the car is at the dealership the dealership is gillman honda in houston, tx at hwy 59 and sam houston beltway south.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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. 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.

Power steering stopped working out of nowhere with no warning. extremely dangerous situation if driving on highway or anywhere for that matter. fortunately the car was parked when the power steering went out. took car to the honda dealer and they told me that the car had no recalls.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds in the rain, the brake pedal was depressed however, vehicle was hard to stop and unstable. the brake, tpms, and vehicle stability assist warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to walsh honda (2056 eisenhower pkwy, macon, ga 31206, (478) 788-4510) where the contact was informed that the repair parts were on back order. the contact stated the wrong part was previously installed in the vehicle. the manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 132,000. invalid vin.

Vehicle stability assist is de-activated due to dtc 85-01 signal failure indicated in electronic power steering module. because of this, anti-lock brakes are not functional. ordered replacement vsa modulator through local repair shop first week in aug 11, 2020, but honda america estimates ship date of dec 21, 2020 (19 weeks)! they ship thousands of new cars every week with new vsa modulators, meanwhile i have to drive my car with the critical safety equipment deactivated!

Power steering not working at all. got into my honda to go up the street but could not turn the steering wheel. notice the power steering light on. tried several time to cut the engine off and restart, but the system never came on. like riding a dead mule!

According to uber, this vehicle 1hgcr2f58da240979 has been salvaged or has a rebuilt title. the dealer does not agree and carfax report denies being involved in any accident in the past. per uber " uber will be notified by nhtsa and reactivate the vehicle automatically."

Car will not start even with the key fob inside the car. key fob has new battery, car battery is fine as well. bringing the fob close to the start button occasionally starts the car. similar issue was recalled in earlier models, no recall has been issued for later vins

Starter button fails to start engine,50% of the time,even with brake fully depressed.

On 10/8/20 power steering went out while driving about 20 mpg in a parking lot. warning icon came on. problem resolved after turning car off and restarting. this is the 2nd time it’s has happened.

After working a late shift at her job, my wife went to drive home only to have the car fail to start. at 11pm, she was left stranded in an empty parking lot until i could reach her (45 minutes from our home). the car's starter had failed. a google search shows that this is a common and well-documented flaw with the 2013 accord. called the local dealer and they insist that they have no reports of known starter issues. repair cost is over $300 ($200 for part plus labor costs). reached out to honda corporate, no response.

I own a 2013 honda accord sport, 4 cylinder earth dreams engine with 65000 miles on it. there is a very known issue with excessive oil consumption and oil burning in these earth dreams engines. the piston rings are faulty causing oil to be burned in the combustion chamber. honda had a recall for this issue in 2008-2012 and this issue is happening in my vehicle. prolonged oil consumption can seize the engine due to no oil being left in the engine to lubricate it. this needs to be addressed asap as this oil consumption issue has never been rectified. this engine is burning 4 quarts of oil in 2500 miles..there is black soot and the end of the tailpipe, which is a clear indication of oil burning. honda beeda to address this issue with a recall to replace stuck or worn piston oil rings. repairs for this issue are over 3000 dollars. this cost should not be passed on to the customer due to faulty parts or faulty engineering

Power steering went out. warning light for power steering came on. turned off car, restarted and the same warning light came on. turned off the car again, restarted and power steering was then working. this did not cause an accident.

Driver airbag did not deploy, however, passenger airbag did deploy. car was stationary and hit from behind by another vehicle moving at least 35 mph and car pushed into another stationary vehicle in front. car was hit straight from behind. driver has concussion and neck injury; passenger does not, but had eye irritation.

While driving on the highway, i had the cruise control activated at approximately 70mph. my vehicle has adaptive cruise control and on two separate occasions within one day, there was no one in front of me but the car started braking hard. fortunately, no one was behind me or they probably would have rear-ended me as it took me a few seconds to cancel the cruise control since it caught me by surprise. in at least one of the instances, there was a large tractor-trailer to the right of me so i'm not sure if it perceived it's shadow as being a vehicle. i bought this vehicle new in 2013 and this was the first time that the adaptive cruise control caused the vehicle to brake when no one was actually in front of me.

Bought the honda accord in november, 2012. i am the only driver. car has approximately 14,000 miles on it and the seat motor has failed. it makes noise. seat cannot be properly adjusted by motor. others have complained and said seat could collapse down and that is dangerous. this is a costly repair involving replacing entire front seat.

Rear view camera goes completely black only showing guildance lines

My steering stopped working while in a parking lot and fortunately not while making a turn. i was able to muscle it home but it was fighting me the whole time and i had to take very wide turns. there was a related recall for a steering software update and an extended warranty for a steering torque sensor. in this case it was the eps steering module which had to be replaced so it was not covered. since there are known problems with the steering, i think the eps module should be considered in the recall/extended warranty bulletin since it impacts the same safety issue as the recall.

The electronic power steering (eps) is progressively failing just like many other owners have reported previously. i first noticed this while driving on the highway 65 to 75 miles per hour but it continues to get worse regardless of speed. the steering wants to turn left on its own and it is sluggish whenever i make a turn either direction. in fact i can even feel the sluggish steering while the car is parked. i've been commuting to work in my old gmc truck while this problem is being looked at by a local garage. this is clearly a safety hazzard and considering how many people have encountered failures with the eps over multiple model years i don't understand why honda hasn't recalled it. my local garage said it requires the steering rack replaced which is an expensive part and will require significant labor cost as well. i've been a loyal honda customer since 1992 because of the historical quality of their vehicles so it's disappointing they don't want to recall this. i guess it's time to look at other brands of vehicles for my next purchase.

The engine and transmission have class 1 leaks gasket area. to be more specific, leaks found on engine head gasket and transmission housing area.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the starter would intermittently grind preventing the vehicle from starting. the contact stated he would let the vehicle sit for a couple minutes before the vehicle was started. several attempts were made while starting the vehicle. the contact contacted the dealer kelly honda (540 lynnway, lynn, ma 01905; (781) 595-5252) who informed the contact of service bulletin 16-002. the vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

I have owned this vehicle for 4 years with no problems. i recently started using the auto feature of the climate control system. both times that i have used it after a couple days of driving my power steering goes out and the speed of the car doesn't seem to matter. i have researched this on social media and can't find a solution to this problem other than to take it to a honda dealership and spend $2000 to replace the components. my solution now is not to use the auto climate control system. i only have just over 60000 and the problem is not from wear and tear. i have contacted the local honda dealer and honda customer service with no help as to some advice to deal with this. looking at what is on social media, i can't believe this hasn't been recalled. this has really blown my bubble as to the high regard i had for honda vehicles over the years.

Paint around rear window is peeling/delaminating. bare metal exposed.

Engine is making grinding/screeching noise when the car starts, every single time. the mileage on the car is just 65,000. honda dealership does not even know what the issue is. no recall yet.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while at an intersection stop, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal to proceed driving and at 6 mph, another vehicle crashed into the contacts driver side door. no airbag deployed. no injuries were sustained. no police report was filed. the contact stated that the other vehicle left the seen. the contact managed to drive the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a diagnostic testing and informed the contact that the airbag senor needed to be replaced. the vehicle at this time was being repaired. the contact mentioned nhtsa action number: ea19001 (air bags) as a possible solution to why the airbags did not deploy. the dealer bill kay honda (1360 locke dr, bourbonnais, il 609140) was contacted and confirmed no recall was present under the vin. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was offered. the failure mileage was approximately 121,000. the vin was not available.

2-3 months ago, at approx 72,000 miles, the starter would not work on occasion. independent diagnostic suggested issue with alternator (replaced) and battery (replaced). issue continued. now we have not been able to start the car for days. a test of the starter shows nothing wrong. then fcw system failed while trying to start the car, cleared and failed again. pushing starter button results in all lights and power coming on, but no start of the car. when power is off and door open, there is a warning signal similar to when lights are left on, but lights are off. seems the starter problem is common, but the recommended fixes are not working. repeatedly replacing parts does not resolve the issue. i was 150 miles from home before the last start. when the car started after several attempts, i immediately drove home. i can't risk being stranded.

I am getting error readings on my 2013 honda accord exl, v6 that the fcw has failed which is causing other error lights (tire pressure, traction, etc). i have only 65,000 miles on this car. should this failure occur at this small mileage? should this not be a recall issue?

Power steering locked up while driving. warning light came on. problem repeated 3 to 4 times. steering hard to turn in either direction. safely drive to a side. turn car ignition off for a minute that reset steering to normal. at traffic singnal when stopped at 0 speed clicking noise felt at break padel and at accelerator. take it to a deler in orlando found steering rack gear box need to replace(52-02) also needs wheel alignment.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while her husband was driving at 35 mph, when the steering wheel began to pull to the left independently. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to independent mechanic and was informed to have the vehicle taken to local dealer. the vehicle was then taken to local dealer cookeville honda located at 560 neal st, cookeville, tn 38501, (931) 528-6009, where it was diagnosed with needing "gear box" to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. the manufacturer had been informed of failure. the failure mileage was 112,000.

Vehicle is a push start. sometimes it acts like the starter has a problem. won’t crank every time. vehicle driver side door will not unlock with the key fob. had it diagnosed at dealership said that the motor in the door went out.

The traction control, brake, power steering and fcw error lights come on while driving. the message states "fcw failed". this happens while driving, parked and on all road surfaces. even while parked in the garage. all lights come on at the same time.the come on as the vehicle gets to normal operating temperature.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while the vehicle was at a stand still at her residence, the forward collision avoidance and lane departure warning lights illuminated. the contact stated two weeks later the tire pressure measuring system, electronic power steering and abs warning lights illuminated intermittently. the vehicle was taken to local dealer nelson honda located at 2500 greensboro rd, martinsville, va 24112, (855) 910-6219, where it was diagnosed with needing vsa (vehicle stability assist) module to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. the manufacturer had been informed of failure. the failure mileage was 110,000.*dt

No power steering, went out while driving. low mileage, always did manu repairs.

Wife was driving at around 35 mph when the power steering cut out. no warning lights or anything. i drove it next day and no issues....day after that i drove it with essentially no power steering. i bring it to the dealer, "electronic power steering motor" they tell me....they replace that and then decide the "control box" for it also needs replaced....they replace that and the issue is still not resolved. now they are telling me they dont know whats wrong with it and they are in direct contact with honda (its at a honda dealer.) he tells me last night to be patient "theres something we need to try" i said ok keep me updated havnt heard back yet. i see theres lots of issues on here about this how is it not a recall? i also found a thread from 2015 where people have paperwork about a recall....but can find nothing about this recall on hondas website. not sure what to do being the bill is already over 2k and they dont even know what they need to fix....

I purchased my 2013 honda accord last fall. it had 28,000 miles on it at purchase and has 36,700 miles today. two weeks after i had an oil change and tires rotated, i began having issues with the power steering pulling left. while traveling at 50mph on a crowded city highway, my steering wheel jerked left and i could have hit the car in the lane next to me. the problem presented at intermittent times occurring later in a trip. i did an experiment in a parking lot; rolling forward very slowly, i let go of the steering wheel. the steering wheel spun to the left and the car executed a perfect 90-degree left turn by itself. the car did this again twice more despite turning the engine off for a period before turning it back on. i took it back to my local mechanic who could find no error code but could replicate the problem. after resetting the torque sensor, it was a bit better but not fixed as the car still wants to turn left. the steering is erratic sometimes it is hard to turn right and sometimes the steering feels loose. my local mechanic sent me to the dealership where i purchased the car who suggested i take it to a honda dealer. the dealer’s service department also replicated the problem but could not fix it because the car did not show any error codes and honda will only reimburse them if the car shows two specific error codes. i followed their suggestion to call honda; [xxx]. the regional case manager called me back, did not ask me any questions about my problem but rudely launched into a rapid-fire lecture about why honda was not responsible for fixing this problem in my car. both mechanics who looked at my car state it needs a new power steering rack and this is a safety issue. i am a doctoral student, i cannot afford a $2500 car repair quoted by both mechanics. *js *js parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Intermittent starting problem

Sun visor falling in front of my face. will not stay up at all now.

My car just got 22,000 miles but has problems with the starter. i joined a forum of people who own same type of my car. there are many people has same problems with mine. some lucky people got the problem when the car has 80,000 miles. some unlucky people got the problem with the low miles on the car as me. i think honda need to have a recall for starter problem of honda accord 13 model.

My daughters 2013 honda accord v6 had a stutter upon acceleration. after researching the issue, the transmission was flushed 4 times. this is a common problem with these new transmissions honda put in the 2013. a few days ago the side wall of the side mission exploded. chunks of metal was found on the ground and it smelled like it might catch on fire.

Having "grinding" sounds when trying to start the car, heard this is a common issue for multiple 2013-2015 accord owners. this is a intermittent issue that doesn't let the car start. last time it happened was 07/28/2020 but it had happen multiple times in the last year.

I lost my power steering at 65mph driving to the coast on highway 26 in oregon. i nearly crashed my car on the curve when my wheel would not turn like it normally does. i had to yank the wheel to the left to stay on the road. i was terrorist! i slowed my can to 50mph the rest of the 45 miles to my beach house in seaside oregon. the steering continued to get worse and i has happy to have the traffic slow down 20 miles out of seaside to bumper to bumper. i barely got the wheel to turn into my driveway at our seaside, oregon home. i started my 'research' to see if a recall had been made on my car for power steering because i would have died hitting the wall of dirt and trees leaving the highway. this is a huge safety issue! i found an article from 2014 that 374,000 people had complained of this same problem. and that you were investigating back in 2014! my car only has about 42,000 miles on it and that was the time of them going out according to the article. cars effected were 2013-2017 honda accords ex. mine is that and a v6. how many people have crashed & died with this faulty part? do you have record of it? i want this electrial power steering part recalled!! you have failed with not recalling it back in 2014!! i am holding "you" accountable for this happening to me!! i want you to pay for my car to be fixed and my rental car! i need you to respond to me [email protected] 503-367-3072 is my cell. you are lucky i didn't crash!! my car is sitting in my driveway in seaside, oregon and i need it towed to beaverton, oregon to get it fixed. i have posted the 2014 article of you not recalling this!

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and vibrated abnormally with the electronic power steering failure warning light illuminated. additionally, the vehicle went into limp mode and decelerated to 40 mph. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. bob howard honda located at 13201 n. kelly ave, oklahoma city, ok 73131, and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 150,000.

When pressing start button light will flicker but the car will not start

1. there is hesitation when accelerating and the shifts are hard and jolting 2. the downshifting coming from highway speeds is terrifying. hard, jolting shifts that happen way too early and way too close together. it makes it like the car is stalling causing a serious safety hazard. a lot of people have this issue with this model and there really needs to be a recall or a tuning software update that fixes this.

Vehicle stall, failed to accelerate . the stall is common and honda needs to fix this issue before someone gets into an accident . i went to honda and no issue was found, i am thinking this might be fuel pump recall.

When i first purchased my 2013 honda accord from the dealership i noticed sometimes the push start would stall or sound like it was failing. also my driver side door would not respond to my key fob. all other doors respond to it except the driver door. i have replaced the battery and still the issue hasn't been resolved. i have been taking the actual key out of the fob and inserting it into the car door to unlock my driver side door. now the ac has began to stop and start. it almost sounds like the fan motor is kicking on and off. and my driver side seat is not sliding back properly. it will began to glide then stop. then i have to keep pressing and it'll glide back a little and then stop again. overall i think there is some sort of electrical shortage or something is happening with it. according to the national highway traffic safety administration there was an electrical system recall sent out june 29, 2017. as stated on their website this could result in an electrical short increases the risk of a fire. the nhtsa campaign id is 17v418000 !

The car sometimes starts without key, the car steals power when kept out

We were driving on the highway on a trip to texas and the steering wheel automatically turned on its own, causing us to almost crash into other cars on the highway. no lights appeared on our dash and it was out of the ordinary. we were driving 75-85 mph and could have injured multiple people if we had crashed. the steering wheel became so hard to control requiring my fiancÉ to grip the steering wheel to turn it into the emergency lane of the highway. once he let go of the steering wheel, it would turn really fast on its own to the left. he tried turning the car on and off, but the issue was still there. i called the honda dealer and explained what i found on the nhtsa website. he said he would research it and call me back but he never returned my call. this is big safety issue that honda is aware of and should cover the repair cost. i tried calling corporate only to have my call cut off 3 times. what is the actual problem; because without a dashboard light and no code we don’t know? *tr

I was driving my car in a residential neighborhood. the dash on the car displayed a "start stop" error. then, there was much less horsepower. i am guessing there was between 10 and 20 horse power. the car could barely go 20 miles per hour. then, the dash said, stop the car. your car is over heating. so, i pulled to the side of the street and stopped the car. i was lucky that i was on a residential side street. where i live, some sections of freeway are 12 and 16 lanes wide. if i had lost power in this situation, i don't think i could have made it to the side of the road safely. the water pump on my model car was part of a safety recall. audi claims that they have fixed the problem with the design before my car was manufactured. however, the water pump on my car only lasted for 49,000 miles. i suspect that the re-design of the water pump is still not adequate. please investigate the issue with our water pump. *tr

I was driving on a highway at 50mph and suddenly felt my car slightly jerk and make a popping noise. i did not see any obstructions prior to this, even though it felt like i had run over a tree branch. i pulled over as soon as possible and everything on my car seemed fine until i saw my sunroof was shattered. the middle part had completely broken off while the rest of the glass was shattered. it looked like something had fallen out of the sky and hit it, although it did not feel like anything had bounced off my car while driving. the sunroof door had been closed and i rarely open it (the last time i used it was at least 6 months ago). *tr

My honda accord 2013 has a burning oil issue. for every 3,000miles, my dipstick will only have 1/2 or 1/4 from the original top level. i noticed this problem last september 2018 when i to a road trip in fresno. when i checked my dipstick, it hardly had any oil on the supposed level. i dropped by a gas station and poured 1quart of oil and the oil level went up to 1/2 of the dipstick. if i did not put oil, then my car would have been running without any oil and could just stop any moment i was driving. i informed century honda on 12/01/2018 about the problem and powertrain warranty was still in effect. as of today, it appears century honda refuses to address the issue.

While trying to diagnose the check engine light my mechanic noticed that the fuel tank has a crack at the top of the tank which leaks gasoline when filled up. this is the same issue that has been reported and recalled for some other 2013 accords but not ours. honda needs to issue a recall for any vehicle that this is happening to. but as it currently stands they are not.

Intermittent starting issues. sometimes it will start on first push of the push to start button. other times it takes 10+ minutes of attempts to get it started. sometimes it just hasn't started. took to a mechanic, diagnosed as the starter, replaced starter. issue is still present this did not fix the problem

Car has 52000 miles and car is burning excessive oil. i have read hundreds of complaints about the excessive oil consumption in the 2013 accord earth dreams engines. please investigate this issue. the 2008-2012 accord engines had a class action lawsuit and i believe another one is warranted for the 9th gen 2014-2017 accord 2.4l models..i am losing about 1qt of oil per 1000 miles. these honda engines are notorious for excessive oil consumption and the owners need help.

Twice in the past week the power steering has suddenly stopped working while driving on both a city street and a highway. it also suddenly starts working again while driving, usually the next day.

The car has intermittent starting issues. i have had the battery and alternator changed and checked and there appear to be no issues there. online forums suggest that this is a endemic starter issue with honda accords. sometimes the car will start with ease. other times it will not start at all. when it does not start i have to jump it, but when i take it to the auto shop afterwards they tell me that there are no apparent issues with the battery or alternator.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda acord. the contact stated that when he was driving the vehiclde down a small hill. then the abs lights illuminated when he tried to brake. the contact had to angle the wheels to come to a stop on a slightly icy. the contact went to an independent mechanic and they said there was a short in the abs system and referred him to a dealer curry honda yorktown 3845 crompond rd, yorktown heights, ny 10598 914) 739-7600 .they said there were no recalls and said to bring it in. the manufacturer had not been called yet. the failure mileage was 190,000.

My son was practicing parallel parking. and car's steering wheel became stiff and hard to turn. i was able to make wheel straight and drove around slowly, mostly straight line, and steering wheel became normal, able to tune it without forcing it hard. it was scary.

I was getting off the highway and was driving home along the service road when i noticed the steering wheel automatically turned on its own, causing me to almost crash into parked cars. no lights appeared on my dash and it was out of the ordinary. luckily i was off the highway driving at low speeds, otherwise i would have injured multiple people. the steering wheel became so hard to control requiring you to grip the steering wheel to turn it. once you let go of the steering wheel, it would turn really fast on its own to the right. i tried turning on and off the car, unplugging the battery, but the issue was still there. i took it to the honda dealer and also contacted corporate in which i was told that the rack and pinion is bad, and if the car doesn't show a code, they won't cover it. my car only has 46k miles, and a big safety issue like this should have been covered or partially covered. instead, i was told it was going to be over $3k for install and parts, which is ridiculous.

Intermittent ignition failure. this seems to occur more frequently in colder weather, but i have had issues all year long. when attempting to start the engine, you hear a loud static noise with no engagement of the engine. i've had to abandon my car on a couple occasions due to this failure. honda service technician advised me that this is a common issue and often results in replacing the starter. i don't have a written quote, but he verbally estimated the cost to be around $1,000.

The smart entry key warning light on dashboard randomly goes on and off. i have replaced battery in key fob with same result. i am concerned because at some point vehicle may not start. vehicle was in motion and stationary at times when this occurred. has been happening for last several years.

Driver's side rear wheel bearing hub assemply failed at 66,000 miles on the odometer. this was the original honda part when i bought the car new. whirring noise was increasingly worse when i was driving, prompting me to have it evaluated by my independent mechanic where he showed me the noise made when the one wheel was turned with the car on the rack. part was replaced. the other rear bearing assembly seems ok so far. repair bill was $430. mechanics tell me this is very unusual for a wheel bearing to fail with so little miles on the car.

Starter problems: changed battery twice within 40k mileage (odometer reading) the last time they changed battery it was by honda said my battery is not good and reason because something in the electrical withdrawing power and killing the battery and after 4 days at honda dealer and charged me over $600 they could not identify the problem (they said)...in fact they said we think in the radio maybe! well after 6 months i found out the problem was not what they say but in the starter! the starter cause this issue until it finally the starter went dead! i open the starter myself and its definitely the starter causing this and i thought to bring it to your attention. honda must known about this for sure! these condition it caused when its stationary. but so much pain. you drive the car and then you park and then when start nothing, painful experiences. it happened in may occasions, since i bought the car from dealer and until december 8 that is when i open the starter and saw this to for sure its the starter problem that cause battery to die early and honda could not identify the problem at all until finally the starter wen dead. i am an engineer and confident its from the starter. i leave the matter to you to check and decided. thanks

I was driving on busy 4 lane road and was turning to the left to get in the turn lane when the steering wheel became very hard to move. i was able while struggling to make the turn. it was lucky as there was no oncoming traffic. i had the car immediately towed to the dealer and now have a $3,000 repair bill to fix the power steering. i have noticed all the complaints going back to the original year the vehicle was built and cannot believe that this problem has not caused a recall.

We bought the honda accord from the dealership brand new and took delivery 11/4/2013. on saturday 11/16/2019, with just over 40,000 miles on the car we noticed that the power steering was not functioning. it was not only hard to steer but also would continue progressing in the direction turning. we took the car back to the dealership on monday 11/18/2019 where they stated that the rack, power steering needed replace for a total cost of $2,797.49. contacted honda customer service and they refused to help. contacted the extended warranty company since the extended warranty expired 12 days earlier. they wouldn't help. this was a very dangerous failure on a vehicle that was well taken care of and has very low millage. did some research and found and article in edmunds "feds probe 2013 honda accord for power steering failure", estimate 374,000 complains about the 2013 honda accords. isn't that enough to force honda to do a recall?

After service at honda service station at rosenberg, tx... i had issues with the temperature sensor in the front of the grill, also a code showed up 2 days later, along with check engine light... when scanned it was "p0420"... was wondering if, the mechanics while cleaning, used water under pressure to clean, and during the cleaning, did they flood my exhaust... "creating business?""

This problem started two years ago and got worse in may. it all started whe we had a rough time starting the vehicle it would take up to 6 time until the car would finally start. we were told it was the battery so we changed the batter up to four time and it still kept having starting issues so then we were told it was the starter so we had it replaced and we are still having issues and now the car stalled on me while stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and it took numerous tries and it finally turned over. our local dealership had the car for 13 weeks and told us they were able to duplicate the starting issues and then told us a few days later they didnt push the button in long enough so it was there mechanics fault and then tell us they find a draw on the battery and a few days later tells us there mechanic used a faulty meter and then they blame it on our internet, smart tvs, garage door opener and wifi. i am so tired of all the excuses and need a car that's not going to leave me stranded and that i can feel safe driving the car out of town right now that's not the case. i do have several friends and family members that have had to come to my rescue to jump start my car or we have had to call a tow truck to get it to the dealership. we have had two ase certified mechanics look at it and were able to duplicate the starting issues and the battery draining and they both told us to take it to our local dealership. we have lots of video and documentation of what the car is doing and also friends that will speak on our behalf. no one will ride with me anymore in fear the car wont start or stall while stopped in a busy intersection. we started having issues two years ago but got alot worse in may of this year.

I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord. i travel about 30k a year. i have been extremely meticulous with the exterior and maintenance of the vehicle. during the course of my travels, i have on at least 4-5 occasions had difficulty changing lanes. more specific, while trying to make a lane change at low speed (5-35 mph) i was unable to turn the wheel to make a lane change. the ability to steer came back quickly, but for a second or two, a turn was not possible. this past week, on 10/30/2019, a similar scenario transpired. i was stopped at a "stop" sign and needed cross an intersection and make a left turn. just when it was time to turn, the steering wheel locked, not allowing me to turn left. as there was an oncoming vehicle, i was able slow down but struck a curb with my right front tire. the impact beat up the rim pretty bad and deflated the tire. i replaced the tire with the spare and headed to a near mechanic, about 1 mile away. the mechanic advised me not drive the vehicle. the damage included cracked rim, power steering rack and electronic steering box to name a few. in researching parts, i came across many incidents in which a 2013 honda accord has had failed steering capability. i contacted honda (case #10012315), they did not acknowledge a problem now, nor in the past and could not comment on problems that other people have had. i was told that the vehicle was old and had a lot of miles. they told me "you had an accident, why are you calling honda, you should be calling an insurance company". honda would not do anything. i expressed my regret in not purchasing a future honda vehicle... shame on honda.

Along several others, i began having the intermittent starting problems on my 2013 2.4 l accord at around 60,000 miles. this type of starter uses a solenoid to move the starter motor’s pinion gear forward to mesh with the flywheel’s ring gear while simultaneously pulling the plunger and its copper contact disc onto the battery contact and the starter motor contact to complete the circuit from the battery to the starter motor. when functioning properly, turning the ignition key or starter button should mesh starter’s pinion gear with the flywheel and turn the starter motor to crank the engine. the problem with these starters is that the battery-side contact and the battery-side of the plunger contact erode excessively due to arcing and consequent pitting. this intermittently prevents the plunger’s contact from contacting the battery-side contact to complete the circuit between the battery and starter motor. when this happens the pinion gear meshes with the flywheel but the starter motor doesn’t turn. note that the pinion gear engaging and disengaging the flywheel is the clicking sound heard from under the car during a failed start. this problem was fixed by replacing the contacts which are included in honda brush holder (honda part number: 31210-5a2-a01) which cost me $45 at my local honda dealer. i believe 2013 through 2017 2.4 l accords use this part which suggests that they will, or are, experiencing the intermittent starting problem. one would think honda would have had a recall to fix this problem.

The car looses its steering control. when stationary (and driving), if i take my hands off the steering, it automatically steers all the way to the left. it sometimes resets the problem when the car is restarted or when it is turned all the way to the right, the problem occurs again shortly. i took it to the dealership but like others, i only got a big bill of $2800.

Paint is flackying from car. visible areas that can be seeing where paint is peeling away and primer is exposed. i have asked if i could drive car in or send pictures to ensure that this is not do to lack of care. my vehicle looks and runs excellent. large areas of peeling paint that can easily be seen.i have made several attempts at contacting both the dealership and american honda, yet i have had no success at a resolution.

I was driving on the highway with my wife, mother in-law and my two years daughter and all of a sudden the steering wheel became very hard and steering light came on. i was very concerned about my family and myself because we were on the highway! i took the nearest exit it was very dificult to control the car. i stopped the to check my phone on what could be the cause? this seems to be a serious problem that happened to many people before and had reported it to the nhtsa. but nothing was done! i care for my family' safety and i will hold the nhtsa responsible if anything happens to me or my family due to this issue.this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed by honda.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving at an unknown speed, the forward collision avoidance warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to john eagle honda of houston (18787 northwest fwy, houston, tx 77065, (281) 528-1165) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle stability assist modulator needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 118,000. the vin was not available.

Sometimes my 2013 honda accord car won’t start immediately. it was stationary. i have to wait a minute after the first few tries. it a starter issue. it not the battery i purchase a new battery and i i’m still having the same problem.

Repeated ignition system failure on 2013 honda accord v6 touring with push button start that left my daughter and me stranded on a night when it was only 13 degrees above zero. push button start only resulted in a grinding noise, no attempt to engage flywheel to start the engine. starter has been replaced twice and the torque converter once (at the recommendation of the dealer to fix this issue) with the same resulting grinding noise and failure of the engine to start. this issue has been reported to honda corporation many times; it is a poorly engineered and faulty design that they refuse to acknowledge and cannot fix.

I purchased new a 2013 honda accord 4 cyl in august 2013 which had the battery sensor replaced at 26,010 miles in october 2017. shortly thereafter, i started experiencing an intermittent starting problem. when i turn the key, the dash lights turn on as normal, but the engine does not turn over or even crank. while this does not happen all the time, it happens frequently and it can take between 2-6 tries before it finally starts at home or anywhere i traveled. aaa jumped me once too. dealer said to switch keys as it may be the immobilizer sensor in my key. then december 2018 at 32,935 miles, dealer recommended i replace the battery which i did, but issue continued, july 2019 at 36,555 miles, dealer performed diagnostics stating the starter was bad but there wasn't a recall and it's more than 36 months so out of warranty. dealer does not apply the cost of the diagnostics against the repair. total cost for diagnostics, starter and tax was $889.47. plus the dealer sold me a refurbished starter with a 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty stating a new starter only carries a 12 month warranty. almost $1k is a lot of money for one repair for a senior citizen for a car with 36k miles. appears this is a common issue so honda motor co should recall the starter and provide reimbursement to those who had to have it replaced to avoid being stranded.

Takata recall. nothing has been resolved. additionally, vtc actuator. honda has repaired accord's from 2008-2012 but not 2013-2016 which have the same issue. various forums and my own vehicle has the issue. i have videos and sound to prove the same issue that honda is repairing on accord's from 2008-2012 on the service bulletin. the vehicle is stationary. when turning on the vehicle, the vehicle starts with a loud start-up and sometimes when the weather is really cold, the engine won't start. honda does have a recall for the same issue but for older cars.

The car is having starter issues. randomly will start and then won't. there are thousands of complaints about this on the internet. same make and model, same issue. the system or starters are obviously defective and should be recalled. this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time for us- at least a year or more.

2013 honda accord is failing to start. push starter button and it will not start, then again and will not start, then again and it will start. beginning to occur more frequently. have a new battery and checked alternator and everything fine.the car was stationary at the time i was trying to start it.

I own a 2013 (bought new) with 45000 miles on it. the starter went out and the torque converter needs replaced as well. it a beautiful car and its way to soon to be having these issues. the car won't start and makes a grinding noise.

Rearview camera screen is black when i put car in reverse

Key-less access control unit is very unreliable. the push button start does not always engage. this makes starting the car a variable time event and not suitable for moving the car in an emergency situation. the problem was well known by honda and presumably fixed in some 2013's. honda service bulletin 13-038 told honda service departments to replace the module as a warranty repair. they cut this off at vin dl002124, but the problem continues. streetsboro ohio honda tells me they can order the part but they want over $600 to repair this design flaw. i purchased the car in december of 2013 and was unaware of the issue for a long time. i thought the car was just hard to start. i mentioned it to a service man at bedford honda at the time, but the car started up for him several times in a row so i just lived with it. it's now much worse.

I think this might be my 3rd complaint, i love honda and have had honda cars for years, but this has really tested my patience. for the last 4 years i have gone through 3 starters and 2 alternators, every time i contact honda they tell me to drop the car off so they can test it, i pay them $130 so they can tell me what they already know. my problem is that starter issue is very common, and there is no long term fix for this issue. so the issue is back, i end up getting stranded in places for hours at a time, and sometimes even end up being late to work, due to my starter spinning away until i can get it to catch eventually. i took it to get appraised the other day, and it wouldn't start ofcourse, the dealer refused to look at the vehicle ofcourse, because no one wants to sell a lemon. at this point, i am either looking for honda to buy my car off me, replace it, or come up with a permanent fix. if you go on youtube and type in honda starter issue you will find plenty of videos, and i also have reciepts for all the trips my car took to the dealer. i am not going to install a 4th starter, that is that rediculouse, i refuse to go to a honda dealership again for them to tell me what i already know.

Car stalls going thru intersections which i complained about when i bought it in ft .myers in 2013. i have paperwork that says nothing is wrong with it however, this has happened numerous times over the years. so far, i am lucky not to be hit! brakes locked up while driving on 7/15/19 , i started to turn into a driveway and the brakes locked and i had to veer onto their lawn on an embankment, ran over a cement parking block and throw it into park and turn it off in order to stop the car from hitting anyone! the car was towed from prospect ave and brady street in milwaukee wi. russ darrow honda ran a safety check and said it was fine. i think they should check the vsa modulator. abra auto repair in glendale had it towed and said they couldn't duplicate it and sent it to russ darrow honda. clearly, something is wrong with it! i have a fl drivers license and i am in wi now for the summer, which is where this happened. i have pictures but i don't know how to upload them to your site?

The vehicle was parked and stationary, once it was turned on the (eps) electrical power system light was displayed on the dash. steering wheel was then difficult to move or turn. the indicator was constant from that point.

My 16 year old son was driving my 2013 honda accord when the power steering failed. he was in motion on a county highway, traveling approximately 45 mph. he just came off an access road and had veered to the right to merge into on-coming traffic. the vehicle has less than 38k miles. the wheel jerked to the right and took great effort to center the vehicle and continue to a stop. he turned off the car and called me. stated it was still driveable and drove home, but continued to have to accommodate for steering wheel jerking to the right and circulating out of control when let go. i drove the car upon his return and experienced same issue. taking vehicle to honda dealership for diagnostic check.

The white paint has begun peeling in the rain channel of the back glass. i am uncertain if this affects the integrity of the back glass. the primer is exposed in several places.

When turning my steering wheel while driving my engine shuts down and restarts. when this happens my steering wheel locks up

When i turn key ignition car doesnt start, i have to turn key back and forth for it to start

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving unknown speeds, the vehicle stalled and there was an abnormal burning odor emerging from the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to flow honda (2600 peters creek pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27127, (336) 785-3380)where transmission fluid was added and the battery was jumped. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 126,005.

While sitting at a stop light on city street with hands on steering wheel, something jerked it to the left and i had no power steering, i got over steering manually into a parking lot. i turned ignition off and back on and it started working properly again.

2013 accord did not start and make a click sound. honda dealer not able to figure out the actual problem. battery, starter replaced but did not resolve the issue.

Vehicle would occasionally not start. when pressing the button, a static noise is heard. the starter is spinning, but not engaging with the torque gear. the starter motor has been replaced three times but the result is the same. these start issues are a daily occurrence. the only way it starts is if i shift to neutral and try. occasionally that doesn't work and i have to shift back to park and try to start it there.

Vehicle became extremely difficult and almost impossible to steer for no reason. took it to the honda dealership where i purchased it and was told there is no safety recall. there are almost 400,000 complaints i’ve noticed and i’m wondering why there hasn’t been a recall. i had 3 of my children with me at the time and i feel extremely fortunate that our vehicle did not crash and there were no injuries. does someone need to die before this is considered serious enough for a recall?

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while the vehicle was parked, the contact had to depress the start button multiple times to start the ignition. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact associated the failure with technical service bulletin number: 16-002. the vehicle was taken to walser honda (located at 14800 buck hill rd, burnsville, mn 55306, (952) 388-2231), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000.

Honda refuses to take responsibility for defective torque converters problem. the car will not start (major safety issue) or as they put it in the tsb starter grinds. there is probably only a small amount of defective torque converters that may or may not issue a recall

When driving the car it would turn easy to the right but turn hard to the left. we took it in to a dealership and they reprogrammed the neutral sensor because it lost its programming they say. the car drove good for a couple of days, but it started doing the same thing as before, but on the opposite side and started jerking to the left and over steering with out warning. we took it back to the same dealership and they now said it needed the whole steering rack replaced for $2300. however, there is an extended warranty on this problem that states this problem is covered and honda is supposed to pay for all cost associated with this problem. as stated above the problem got worse after it came back from the dealership.the service bulletin # is 15-056 which is the eps torque sensor which they said needed to be reprogrammed, which made the steering good only for a couple of days. with that said i am not sure how the eps torque sensor is not a defect covered under the extended warranty? the honda dealership as well as honda incorp. claims this problem is not related to the torque sensor. the dealership and honda says the power steering gear box assembly needs to be replaced. the extended warranty bulleting says the power steering gear box assembly needs to be replaced and that honda is to pay for it.

Hen attempting to start engine of parked vehicle, nothing happened when key was turned. took several attempts to start car each time.

Engine knocks on start up, knocks only on first start up or when sitting for long periods of time, after that no knock'

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and all the warning indicators illuminated. the contact also stated that the vehicle took ten minutes before it started. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but a failure code could not be found. the vehicle was later taken to another independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer due to diagnostic and repair fees. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

While backing out of a residential driveway onto a busy neighborhood street, the steering wheel locked up and the steering malfunction warning light came on. i attempted to steer the vehicle but the electronic power steering(eps) was countering the steering effort. i tried multiple times to restart the vehicle in hopes to regain steering control, but the vehicle would not operate properly. the only way i was able to regain steering control was with the car off and in neutral, meaning i had no ability to accelerate to maneuver the vehicle from oncoming traffic, relying only on the momentum of the sloped road to help guide the vehicle safely away from traffic lanes. i had the vehicle towed the the dealer the next morning. service adviser looked up vehicle history and the recall for eps controller software had already been performed 2 years prior. honda had extended the warranty on the rack and pinion system due to known torque sensor failure issues. adviser said if, obd scan shows fault code relating to torque sensor failure, honda would cover complete cost to replace entire rack and pinion system. hours later, adviser contacts me and says the scan shows that it was not the the torque sensor that failed, but the electronic power steering computer failed and needed to be replaced at my cost. i argued that there was no possible way for the consumer to prevent such an issue from occurring, and the fact that a computer system controlling the steering failed while i was operating the vehicle is an alarming safety issue that american honda should look into and i should not have to bear the burden of paying for such a repair. vehicle has 83,100 miles, original owner and all scheduled maintenance performed at same dealer. never had prior steering issues and was never advised of any potential issues. honda sympathetically only agreed to cover half the repair cost.

On 4/12/2019, i was driving home from work at around 24:00 (midnight) on freeway 22 westbound near the block that i suddenly realized i lost control of my steering wheel while i was traveling at 70mph plus. the steering wheel icon light up on my dashboard. this happened so fast at a curve area of the freeway, i turned on my emergency light and slowed the car down by hitting the break. there were around 4 cars to my right when this happened. fortunately, i was able to safely reach the exit lane to the right due to the curvature of the freeway turning left by going straight. as i slowed down the car on the exit lane, i yanked the steering wheel very hard to the left then right to maneuver the car to stay in the lane. after i exited the freeway on haster street, i yanked the steering wheel very hard to the right to make the turn and found a small street then come to a stop. at this time, the steering wheel icon still illuminated on my dashboard. i turned of the car after put it to park then turned it back on and the icon disappeared. i got control of steering wheel back. i proceeded to garden grove street heading west toward my home. at the first red light on garden grove, i stopped and did not steer the wheel. again, the steering wheel locked on me again. the icon appeared again on my dashboard. i again turned off and on the car and the icon disappeared and i had my control back. from there, i drove slowly in the right lane to my home. this time, there was no problem. on 4/13/2019, which is today, i dropped off my car at honda world dealer on 13600 beach blvd, westminster, ca 92683 and told one of the reps about the problem. he did the inquiry on my car and system showed there was a recall of eps gearbox replacement at this dealership. i hope nhtsa will take this serious and help people like me. it's extremely dangerous to drive with no control of the steering wheel.

Starter is malfunctioning. grinds at first and typically starts on second or third attempt.

When pushing start button the engine would make a grinding screeching noise. at 34,000 miles starter was replaced. now at 70,000 miles same noise is coming again from engine. seems to be a common issue with v6 models. there is a service bulletin 16-002 for this issue however after addressing the issue once already it seems to be a reoccurring issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the starter was malfunctioning. when the contact pressed the start button, the engine would not crank. after a few attempts, the engine finally started. pensacola honda (6675 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505, (800) 747-3966) stated that the warranty expired 24 days ago and they could not fund the repairs. the manufacturer also stated that the warranty expired. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to have the starter replaced. the failure mileage was 50,000.

Vehicle only has 77,000 and seems to turn off on it own , lights on the vehicle stays on but when trying to turn on the vehicle it wont turn on

Push button start is not responding on a regular basis. when button is pushed,the battery is activated and all lights and radio are operational, however the car does not start. battery has been tested and all connections seem to be working properly. v6 models of this car have had a service bulletin 16-002 issued for starter, however my car is a four cylinder and therefore not eligible to be looked at under service bulletin.. issue can happen after several starts during the day, after sitting in cold or garage. it does not seem to make a difference whether the car has been running or not. car has 102,000 miles on it, and is in good condition. there are many complaints online regarding this same situation with my model, seems as though it is the exact same issue as with the v6. this is an ongoing and random issue. i have never been unable to start the car after several tries, but not sure if this luck will end soon.

On wednesday, april 3, 2019 we made a 600 mile trip from cookeville, tn to shelby township, mi with no problems noted. the next morning, backing out of the driveway i noticed the steering was normal at one point, i rotated the wheel to the right and the wheel continued turning by itself while the car was not even in motion. i rotated the wheel to the left and met with resistance. i rotated the wheel to the right and the wheel started turning by itself. i then noticed the eps light was on. i continued to rotate the wheel back and forth. i got to the center positioned and the wheel then turned rapidly to the right by itself . i immediately decided to take the car to the nearest honda dealer. on the way there the wheel violently turned to the right and nearly caused me to run into the curb at 35 mph.i then arrived at jim riehl honda in sterling heights , michigan. they diagnosed the problem as a "position sensor". they related to me that they had downloaded the software and this seemed to have cleared the problem. while driving back to my next destination (10 miles) the original problem resurfaced. i called the dealership service department, which was closed. i left a message that i was bringing the car in monday morning, april 8, 2019.

The visor on the driver side suddenly popped and now it keeps falling, impairing visibility. this appears to be an issue with other honda's and if that's the case, you need to investigate this and put a recall on it because not only is it annoying, but it is a hazard that most definitely impairs driving. please look into this!!!

Starter stopped working.

The battery sensor has gaps which could lead to a fire or other dangerous complications. the car often doesn’t start. there have been recalls on this make/model/year but not this vin.

In early 2019, after my honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, i began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 honda accord. sometimes, my car starts right away. but more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature. when repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, i hear a 'clicking' type noise when i press the start button, but my car does not turn over. after several attempts pushing the 'start' button, my car eventually starts (sometimes after a few seconds and a few attempts, sometimes after many attempts and two or three minutes). the problem occurs randomly, when the car is cold and warm. i never experienced this problem until honda replaced the water pump on my car earlier this year. based on other web posts, this sounds like a common problem with the push button start feature in 2013 honda accords. once my car starts, it runs well. at this present time, i have no other mechanical problems other than the push button start feature. however, my car's failure to start is a safety issue in itself if a car fails to start in a situation where a quick get away is necessary (for example, flood, wild fire, or other natural or other disaster that may require that my car start without delay).

March 2019 drove car to gym without incident. car wouldn’t start an hour later. aaa came and the tech’s tools indicated battery had sufficient power. tech tried multiple times to start car and got it to run. he advised me to take it to shop to get starter fixed. i drove it home instead and the car worked fine for a month. one morning it didn’t start again. i tried to start it again two weeks later and it was fine. the next day it didn’t. finally in july 2019 i called for a tow. aaa came, jumped the car and advised me to drive directly to shop. at shop, determined it was just a dead battery. replaced it today. at 120000 miles and in the span of 6 years, this is the third battery.

Keyless push button start works intermittently to start car - sometimes takes 10 tries to crank; battery is good

Push button starter doesn't work nearly every day. today july 9 2019 it wouldn't start 3 times. everything freezes (steering, brake) but all lights light up. there are 1,000's of people that this is happening too... so far only when starting.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. after starting the vehicle, the traction control and power steering indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to wetzel honda (3505 chester blvd, richmond, in) where a steering service update was performed per an extended warranty program. after retrieving the vehicle from the dealer, the power steering immediately malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn. the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 99,000.

Battery drains often. have changed the battery twice & i believe i will have to change it again. i believe it's the charging system for the battery

Starter failure described in honda's tsb 16-002. car exhibited a grinding noise upon trying to start. it would fail to start. this was an intermittent problem. honda finally replaced the starter but was unwilling to warranty the known problem. a year later i am having the same problem.

Having problems with starting the car at times. it started when on a road trip. we were an hour out from home, had been driving for approximately 2.5 hours. we stopped at a rest area to use the facilities, came back to the car and it wouldn't start, it tried turning over but did not. we received a boost and it started right up. this happens intermittently with no warning. i have been stranded on several occasions. the car was checked out and i was told that the battery, alternator and starter were all fine. i actually drive with a jump starter in the car so that i won't be stranded. it is frustrating to not know what is wrong.

The car has a push button start. sometimes the starter on the car does not work properly. at times, the car fails to start for 5 to 10 minutes and indicates that the starter system is not not working properly. it also indicates that the power is still on. even after the ignition is off, the power is still on. on june 27, 2019, i had to pay $773.84 to replace the starter. this problem has been going on for months. the car only has 51,562 miles. the problem started before 50,000 miles but happened infrequently. over the months, the problem grew worse. now the car may not start in the evening but starts immediately the next morning. getting stranded is a definite risk. the danville honda dealership in virginia said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing a lot of them. there are also discussions on-line about the problem - community talk. therefore, honda should replace the starters free of charge.

Push button start does not function properly. the car is unpredictable because it frequently fails to start when i push the engine button. sometimes it starts on the first try, but i am frequently left trying to crank the car for 5 to 10 minutes. one day it would not start at all but started immediately the next morning. this problem has existed for months and the car has approximately 52,000 miles. i read on “community talk” that other honda owners are experiencing the same issue. on june 27, 2019, i had to pay over $773.84 to replace the starter. the dealership in danville, va. said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing all of them.

In august of 2018 i brought my vehicle into balise honda in west springfield, massachusetts with a loss of power steering during operation on a highway. they worked on the vehicle and reported no recalls for loss of power steering. when i picked up the vehicle, i regained power steering. on june 5, 2019, i lost the power steering again during operation of the motor vehicle on a city street. i successfully drove the vehicle home without power steering and it continued into june 6, 2019. please help me understand why accidents have occurred due to the loss of power steering in the 2013 honda accord and no recalls have been issued? this safety issue cannot continue...

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 a 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 accelerate and seriously, after almost 40 years of driving, i have never felt anything like this terror and loss of control. the policeman who came to the scene would testify to the fact that i was completely sane and sober at the time. today, we heard the car will be appraised as totaled. i have driven and loved my hondas since 1991 but no more, and i would hate to think this car would be fixed and resold.

2013 honda accord caught on fire in our complex on sunday 6/9/2019. the car was stationary for about 4 hours prior to the vehicle catching on fire. we were called by our neighbor that the car was on fire just before 4pm that day. when we got back, the fire department had just put out the fire. a police report was also filed. the car is also is part of an active recall for the battery sensor. we received 2 notices (august 2017/feb 2019) and i was told each time that the car was not part of the recall. i have filed a claim with my insurance company along with opened up a case with honda. i also filed a consumer complaint against honda for a defective car. no one was in the car at the time it caught on fire but the vehicle is a total loss as it destroyed the entire front end of the car. my insurance company along with honda will be sending out their fire inspectors to identify the origin of the fire to determine liability.

In 2018 my battery went dead and the lines were corroded. battery was replaced. 3 months ago my car started to not start randomly. all lights on dash lit up, starter making noise as if it is starting, car doesn't start. this was about once a week but is now up to ten times a week. i looked it up online where others reported the same problem, said put it in neutral and it will start (true) and that hondas were having trouble with connection to batteries. said step one was to change out sensor until part became available to fix this problem and to contact recall with vin number to get vehicle fixed. i had a recall on a sensor a couple of years ago and took car in for same and had work done--not sure if this is same problem or not, but as i was able to look the exact problem up online with explanation and solution how to circumvent problem i expected to see a recall about this. please advise what my next step is. thank you.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while the key was in the ignition, the vehicle stalled without warning. after twenty minutes, the vehicle returned to normal. the vehicle was towed by aaa to balise honda of west warwick (509 quaker ln, west warwick, ri 02893, (401) 822-2000) to be diagnosed, but no failure was found. the failure recurred. the dealer installed a new battery and starter. the manufacturer was notified and did not assist. the failure mileage was 100,000.

While cornering, the vehicle suddenly became very difficult to steer and did not right itself coming out of the corner. over the next several days, the steering occasionally failed. no warning lights came on and when honda tested the car, no torque sensor failures were noted. on that basis, honda declined to apply their extended warranty covering the failed steering. honda was not interested in pursuing the failure to see if it might improve their knowledge of a known problem with this model's steering. honda claimed that the failure was rare and that there was no information out there to determine whether the vehicle would be safely drivable without repair. they could not assure me that the failure was just a loss of power steering, of something more dangerous. it wasn't until after i paid for the repair, that i found numerous similar complaints online.

The ignition switch didn’t work well only a few years after i purchase the new car (2013 honda accord). the factory must have a recall!

2013 honda accord. consumer writes in regard to power steering failure while driving. *as the consumer stated the dealer found the steering gear box to be the cause of the failure and needed to be replaced. the consumer was also concerned about the warranty for the steering assembly. *js

Having problems starting the car, keep saying check charge system. went to mechanics they said there was a recall for the battery sensor, went to the dealer and change the sensor but still saying check charge system. put the key in everything light but wont start the car. every now and then it works fine but some days it take time for the car to start.

A few days after the recall work was completed the car would not start when i pressed the start button. it went into accessory mode instead of starting. every day since then it has intermittently started after several attempts. it sometimes requires four, five or more attempts to start the engine. we replaced the battery on may 4, 2019. the intermittent starts continue. i found several internet sites that list other 2013 honda accord owners experiencing the same problem with no positive solutions.

My 2013 accords steering just stopped working when i was driving the car on 1/12/19, i am lucky that i wasn't going very fast, i was driving on a city street. also glad that i was able to get it to the side of the road, to get it out of the way. how can this not be a recall??

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. while the contact was at the doctor's office, she was alerted that her vehicle was on fire in the parking lot. the contact was unsure if a police report was filed. the fire department extinguished the fire. the vehicle was towed to the local police department. the contact's insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled after the police inspection. there were no injuries. the manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. the cause of the failure was not determined. the vin was unknown. *tt consumer stated she received a recall for a battery part that could cause fire. consumer took the vehicle for an oil change to honda dealer but part was not replaced. consumer states while in the doctors office, car started a fire in the parking lot. fire was extensive but manufacturer claims it is not their problem.*jb

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. while driving at an unknown speed, an abnormal noise was heard under the hood of the vehicle. the contact noticed smoke and fire coming from the front of the vehicle. the fire department extinguished the fire. a fire report was filed. the fire department stated that the battery exploded, which caused the failure. there were no injuries. the vehicle was towed to an auto collision lot. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Vehicle has excessive oil consumption which has caused the vehicle to run out of oil in between oil changes. this has now damaged other vehicle parts like catalytic converter.

After experiencing hard starting where key would not activate engine, the vehicle finally would not start. after dealership investigation, the dealership indicated starter solenoid and starter motor were faulty and needed to be replaced. starter motor on a vehicle with less than 42,000 miles should not require replacement. honda has a larger issue with starter motors in my opinion. vehicle was stationary when it would not start.

Car has issues starting and with 60k miles only. there might be a defective battery sensor or starter. alternator checked and battery checked with no issues. ignition will need to be turned a few times before car starts right up. no lights on dashboard indicating any issues mechanically. something that needs to be looked into as my vehicle is maintained regularly and serviced by honda. sometimes it starts right up and other times it takes 3 to 5 turns on the ignition for the car to start.

There three warning indicators that come on my dash and will not go off. the indicators are the power steering sensor, the tire pressure monitoring system and the vsa engaged indicator. i have 4 friends with honda accords ranging from 2013 - 2015 and we have all experienced the same issue. when i talk to a mechanic as well as honda no one knows why these indicators are illuminated. no issues can be found to why these lights will not go off. the vehicle starts in the am and these lights are not on and when i drive about 30 miles these lights come on and stay the remaining time. these lights stay on, highway and street driving as well as sitting stationary.

Starter is bad will not start brought car to a mechanic. he recommended me to get a new starter. checked battery and alternator well within working parameters.

Issue with push button start. started experiencing intermittently when pushing button, car won't start. typically hit the button again and car starts. now, however, it is taking a few to several times of pushing the start button for car to start. this can happen after being turned off for a minute to overnight. there is no pattern. i've seen this problem has happened to many owners of the '13 honda accord when i look online. why hasn't honda taken responsibility & issued a recall. this can be a safety issue if you get stuck somewhere & car won't start. (copy/paste- same problem!!)

Bought this car at the end of its 3 year warranty 2 years ago. i immediately had to have the starter and battery replaced (09/16). car began not starting when the push button is engaged, starter was replaced again in (03/18). now in september the car began taking 5 or 6 presses of the start button to start. dealer replaced the battery (09/18). one week later the problem began again and the starter was replaced again (10/18).

I was in a parking lot trying to park my car in a spot on the right side. as i pressed the accelerator at a normal pressure, the car just started accelerating and did not stop. i first slightly hit a car which had just pulled out of a parking spot. i tried to use the brakes multiple times and tried to shift gears to make anything happen which could help stop the car. it was out of control and in order to avoid a cliff, i veered to the right after passing about 30 parked cars and hit an embankment with a tree on it. my car crashed into a parked lexus suv which then was lifted and moved to the right and hit another parked car. the air bags came out and the car stopped. my wife and i and other people could have died if there were any pedestrians in the parking lot. we both have many life threatening injuries and cannot drive due to those for a long time. in addition we are now quite frightened. the car was completely out of control and i could not stop it.

While driving at about 40 miles per hour the power steering stopped working. in october 2016 i had the same problem and the repair was done as per warranty extention 15-056. the car had 51693 miles. i now have 75000 mile on the vehicle and the the same problem occurred 2 times within about 20 minutes. i read a report that the nhtsa determined that the problem was decreasing in frequency and that the problem was with early equipment that had been repaired. obviously this is not the case.

Multiple times, while driving, my power steering will go out and it becomes very difficult for me to turn the wheel. i had to pull over while on the highway and restart my 2013 honda accord to temporarily fix the issue. this only happens while i am driving.

I had about 3 to 4 times that the car doesn't start at first time this year. those times, i had to try four or five times. now i think of it it started to happen after replacing the recalled part, battery sensor on 3/23/2018. on 9/10/2018, i tried so many time to start the car but had to towed to honda dealer to take a look. next day, i was told the starter needed the starter replacement costing $850, and my car only has 35600 miles on it.

Intermittent starting problems. car has new battery and alternator is good. please see same complaints online. one time i drove home from work for about 15 miles, turned off car in the driveway, tried to start the car and wont start.

I had pulled into a parking stop and stopped. i was about to reverse to park straight when my car shot forward. the brakes were not working and the car accelerated forward until it was stopped by a brick column. i was in a parking lot in front of a retail strip center.

Faulty starter: has been an issue for more than a year. increasingly, it has taken more than one time to start the car. at times it has taken more than 8 times pushing the "push-to-start" button to get the car to start. based on my research this has been a know issue for honda for more than 2 years, but they have yet to issue a recall to remedy the problem. it cost me ~$650 to replace the starter.

While driving, the power steering light illuminated and i lost power steering. luckily i was driving locally so gain control of vehicle quickly.

While driving, the power steering fails and becomes difficult to steer. the power steering warning light illuminates when this occurs. this condition has occurred at least 10 separate times in the last month and once was on the freeway traveling at 75 mph and another while traveling at 50 mph, both of which caused me to nearly lose control as i was changing lanes. all other instances occurred while making slow speed turns. shutting off the vehicle and restarting usually reset the system but last friday the steering failed again and has not been able to reset, going on 5 days now. this issue is dangerous and has been diagnosed at the local honda dealer as a faulty power steering rack unit. i have researched this concern and have found several other vehicles have exhibited the same problem.

Eps light came on. was very difficult to steer. first time happened 09/05/2018, second time- 09/06/2018. just had a recall work done re: battery on 08/30/2018. could it be related? i see many other complaints regarding the same issue. shouldn't there be a recall? looks like there were accidents caused by this problem. i took the car to the shop yesterday, paid $160- nothing was found wrong. i feel unsafe driving like this. please respond. https://www.aboutlawsuits.com/honda-accord-power-steering-problems-nhtsa-73811/

"takata recall". (long term exposure to high heat and humidity can cause these airbags to explode when deployed) my horn located in the steering wheel constantly blares when exposed to high heat while in motion on city streets and highways and stationary. this issue comes and goes and the dealership "honda world" located in downey, ca. refuses to inspect the issue. they tell me the probelm needs to occur for them to inspect the issue. since i bought the car in 05/2016 this issue only occures in the summer time not the winter which tells me it's being caused by heat. because the airbag is also located in the steering wheel this issue needs to be inspected asap. i have videos on my cell phone camera as proof.

Electric power steering malfunction light came on could barely turn the wheel, the first time it happened was running about 40 mph and again it happened was running at 50 mph and going into a curve and the third time my speed was 55 mph all three times this has happened i was on a highway. the first time i had just got off the interstate. if you are where you can pull off the road and turn the vehicle off and start it again the steering is fine. seems this should be a recall as researching on the internet i'm not the only one with this issue. places i need to go is usually on the interstate and running 60 to 70 mph is scary not know when this may happen again. i did see on the internet where 2 accidents has occurred from this issue and thank goodness there were no injuries. i have called honda headquarters and they act like they don't know what i am talking about and had a record that i had called in regarding this issue. so does it take someone being seriously injured or killed before this is looked at. i was told to replace the electric power steering gear. i asked about the software upgrade that i had read about and also regarding hoses that were getting hot causing this. all the dealerships know is it will cost more than $2000 for a new steering gear. this shouldn't happen in the first place. i know parts go bad and if this is an issue with other vehicles maybe due to this being dangerous driving auto makers may go back to steering fluid and do away with electric power steering. please check on a recall issue. this has happened 3 times 08/10/2018 and twice on 08/12/2018. i am at the point i am afraid to drive the car no matter the speed and especially on certain roads. thank you

While driving, without any warning, the power steering cuts out. after shutting the car down it the steering works. i was on a highway & had close call accidents trying to pull over. it has now happened 4 times in 5 days. the vehicle has under 50,000 miles

Car clicks before starting, cuts off while driving, steering locks when car cuts off. i drive a considerable amount of time on the freeway with my family. this is a very dangerous situation to the lives of myself, family and other drivers on the road. this is a daily occurrence. speed varies when this happens. sometimes it occurs from a cold or warmed start.

The steering wheels automatically become stiffer and hard to turn right or left while driving.it takes a lot of muscling to keep it under control before an accident occurs. this is the second time this incident occurred.my car has got 84000 miles on it and regularly serviced and maintained. the next day it happened it became normal as usual with no repairs. i understood later that there is no power steering fluid and this function is electrically controlled! from online, google search indicated several of the honda customers owning the same car model ear has experienced the same problems with the steering wheel. this situation is very dangerous especially in highway exits and entrances where car drives in over 50-60 miles.it can create life threatening accidents if not corrected. dealers could not diagnose the problem and do not have the capability to fix it and might cost a future. i would like honda to recall this car and fix it immediately before another emergency situation, accident or threts to safety and life.

Vehicle was parked on gravel parking area. when vehicle was started the eps warning light came on. the steering wheel acted frozen and was not able to be turn left or right even with significate force and attempted movement forward or in reverse. stop vehicle and followed instructions in vehicle manual. when restarting vehicle warning light did not display and steering was normal. vehicle was taken in for diagnostics and eps unit was replaced. vehicle has 70,533.

Push button start is acting up. at times when you push button to start the car it only clicks, after a few tries the car will start. i have seen several complaints on this. honda has admitted to an issue with the v6 model but not the v4 model that is having the same issue

My airbag light is on in my 2013 honda accord and i'm not sure if this has anything to do with the takata recall. my car was just sitting in the drive way the next morning i came out and the airbag light was on and won't go away now.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start upon turning the key in the ignition. the vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. the manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact to have the failure diagnosed by a dealer. the approximate failure mileage was 41,000.

So just like all the other complaints, my car won't start every time i hit the starter button. after i press it it makes a really loud whining sound, i am currently on my 3rd replacement starter, and 2nd alternator. i think it's crazy, after all these complains everywhere that nothing has been done. i gave honda the benefit of the doubt, because of their history of reliability, but this is too much. i need a new starter too actually so starter #4 here i come. this is a serious issue.

Honda accord recall nhtsa recall number17v-418 called local honda service center, honda city in bethpage ny. they stated the don't have the parts for the recall and don't expect to get them for a couple of months. please advise.

The humming noise on and off randomly in recent days ( 06/06/2018 ), sometimes very loud like a motorcycle roaring beside the car. most of the noise happen around 40-70 mph while driving on highway ( louder ) and city ( humming ). my 2013 honda accord is around 70000 +/- miles, replace new tires at around 63000 miles, and regular maintenance at dealer, thus not the tires problem. don't know where the noise come from. many drivers indicate the same problems when surf online complains, and maybe some safety issue to worry.

Honda used a bad starter when making the 2013 accord. they also put the exhaust manifold right over it. so the starter fails right as the warranty expires on your car. i know i’m not the only one to have this happen. the car will not start. the starter is garbage. it should not have failed this soon.

We turned right out of a parking lot onto a busy city street and got down to the light. as we turned the steering wheel to the right and before pushing the accelerator the steering wheel became extremely hard to turn. it was extremely hard to turn the steering wheel left or right. it was very hard to control the steering wheel at this point as we are trying to find another parking lot to turn into so we could try and figure out what was going on. we looked around the car to make sure nothing visible was wrong and didnt see anything so we turned the engine off and sat there for a bit and then turned the engine back on. once we turned the engine back on the steering was fine. we decided to look online and see if anyone else had experienced these problem and seen many have. if we turn the steering wheel right or left while at a complete stop the steering wheel becomes hard to turn but if you turn the engine off then back on it works again. i'm hoping the manufacturer can recall the problem and fix it beings there are many complaints of this particular problem.

Trouble starting car. changing battery did not help.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the start button had to be pushed several times before the engine would finally start. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sunset honda, 12250 los soso valley rd, luis obispo, ca) where it was diagnosed that the starter was faulty and needed to be replaced and the torque converter needed to be rotated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the contact was informed by the dealer that the manufacturer's tsb number: 16-002 was for the same failure. the failure mileage was 34,000.

My accord has 38769 miles on it, has always been serviced be a honda dealer, and recalls have been fixed. since the battery sensor was fixed december, 2017 my push start will not always start my car and there is no indicator light to show anything is wrong. the dealer wants to charge me to diagnose my car. i notified honda, they assigned a case number and referred back to dealer. i have googled this problem and it seems that several 2013 and 2014's have this problem just after warranty expired. would you please investigate? these starters are dangerous. when i purchased the car in 2013 and was coming up a snow covered drive my car quit and i slid backward because i could not restart car without using the brake. i complained to honda then, they opened a case, then nothing. i told them then that i was sliding backward and could have gone over an embankment.. they just closed that case when i called about current problems. i will never own another honda.

I have a 2013 honda accord 2013 with 75,000 miles on it. for the past few moth i’ve been having problem with the starter. the car will turn on, but after a few tries. i brought the car to the honda dealer and they confirmed there was a problem with the starter. i did not replaced it because i did extensive research and found out that there are too many customers with the same complaint and it’s not fair for some that only have a few thousand miles on their cars for them to be paying over $800 for car defect that honda knows that many of their vehicles should already have a recall.

When try to start my car and press push button it wont startjust gives me sound klic klic

Starter problem all my lights , radio ac windows work but won't crank up. called local dealer and was told sounds like a starter problem and will have to have it towed to dealer. with only 56k on it i have never had a starter fail in such a short time. it must be true japanese cars not as reliable as once thought to be.

Takata air bag

Car not starting. having to jumpstart periodically. replaced battery even though battery registered good. realizing it’s in the electric start switch. i built these cars, i’m troubleshooting now. have read several complaints about my exact issue. bought it new, highway miles between oh and fl. 69k. shouldn’t be having this issue. always serviced and maintained. i don’t feel this should come out of my pocket. first time i experienced it, was out with friends, paid for a taxi to get home, jumpstarted next day to get it home. the several other times, i was in my driveway and was able to jumpstart it here. it’s in the electric start. purchased battery 3/9/19, still having difficulty with it turning over. $164. for a new battery. which i knew it wasn’t battery, fiancÉ had it replaced worrying about me being stranded. i can see this is going to be a problem for me. i first noticed it july 2018. wouldn’t start in oh, i thought i had just left my trunk open too long while packing.

Starter failure, starter just clicks. i have the same starter problem as all the other compliants for a 2013 honda accord.

Upon start up, all the lights on the dashboard lit up. fcw failure noted on the digital display. acceleration non existent in this state. several restarts (34 was the max), no lights on the dash. car ran fine. dealer diagnosed it as a timing chain that had expanded. seems to be fixed. (only been two days). i think it is a major safety issue because the lack of power could manifest itself at any time. imagine getting on a highway with no power to accelerate.

Over time, driver's and passenger's sun visors no longer fold up flush with ceiling. they instead sag; partially blocking driver's view. this is due to a faulty hinge system that, with repeated use, becomes detached from the visor.

2013 accord fails to start when using either push button start or dealer installed remote start. engine does not turn over, only a grinding sound is produced. it can take as many as 5 or 6 attempts to start before the starter will actually engage and start the engine. starter replaced in accordance with honda tsb 16-002, but the issue continues. issue first occurred when the vehicle had just over 40k miles and has been happening for last 18 -24 months and is getting worse. this occurs in both warm and cold weather, and with either a hot or cold engine. car now only has 64k miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. approximately three months after the contact purchased the vehicle, it started to stall. on several occasions, after the vehicle stalled, the contact would have to jumpstart the vehicle. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system). the vehicle was taken to brickell honda (690 sw 8th st, miami, fl 33130, (305) 856-3000) where the battery sensor was replaced. the contact was unsure if the battery sensor was replaced or if adhesive was applied to the battery case to prevent water intrusion. the contact stated that the failure recurred and the battery had to be recharged three times after the recall repair was completed. the contact stated that all of the warning indicators illuminated on and off. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that the vehicle was currently being diagnosed by an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 13,000.

My 2013 honda accord 4 door was working great. until i took it for a battery censor recall at. honda of rock hill,sc in december 2017. my keyless switch was not working properly. battery on car was replaced and battery on keys were replaced as well. took it to honda of rock hill, on 2/2018, they stated it was the starter.?? went on youtube and internet and this has been happening a lot to 2013 honda accords. but there is not a recalled. called and open a case with honda of north america they wanted to know if starter failed was caused by recall. called dealer and technician could not determine if failed of starter was caused by changing of part in recalled.

Takata recall i own two honda accords, a 2010 honda accord (vin [xxx]) and a 2013 honda accord vin [xxx]). both accords have been identified in the takata bankruptcy proceedings as needing air bag replacements. i finally received the official honda recall for the 2010 honda accord passenger side airbag this past friday, 2/23/18. i have still not received any recall to fix the 2013 honda accord air bag(s). i called the honda dealership where i purchased both cars new and was told there would be a recall "at some future point" for the 2013 honda accord, but the service advisor i spoke to could not be more specific than that. in december, 2017 there were no airbag recalls for either honda accord on the nhtsa website. i just checked again for an airbag recall on the 2013 honda accord and nothing for airbags. the recall for the 2010 honda accord specifically states: "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall has been performed." obviously, this is pretty dangerous stuff. i have received no advisories and no safety advice or precautions from honda automobile division / american honda motor company regarding front passengers or steps to take to avoid injury in case of air bag deployment in the meantime (or until such time as a recall is officially ordered). if these takaka airbags are a known dangerous issue for over two years now and these airbags can kill or injure passengers, and my 2010 honda just received it's recall now, in february, 2018 - when can i expect to see the recall on my 2013 honda accord? 2021?i cannot sell or trade my 2013 because of this known airbag problem, other dealers will not touch this car. please take action to force honda to advise owners to give a projected date for a recall and what to do until such time as a recall is ordered / available. thank-you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 2013 honda accord touring model electric power steering failed. the car only has 49,000 miles. the dealer states it is no longer a extended warranty issue and will not cover issue. the problem was noticed while driving the vehicle and then taken to the dealer for evaluation. the problem is loss of power steering and/or a sudden increase in steering effort and dealer identified that the electric power steering box needs replacement for a total of $2100.00. for a "new" car this is ridiculous and should be honda's fix not the costumer.

Starter failed, and we were stranded at the new market post office for an hour. the battery is good, but honda mechanic said the starter is failing. we replaced the starter engine, and the car starts up good every time. it cost $515 to replace starter engine. honda refused to pay for defect, because the car is past warranty.

" starter needed to be replaced" my 2013 accord only has 65,000 miles and had to have the starter replaced. i would have to turn the key multiple times in order for the car to start- i thought it had to do with the recent battery recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that there was smoke coming from under the hood to the fuse box, which caused excessive smoke. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was included in, but the contact had not yet received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system). the vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 59,000.

Starter stop working

I was driving down hill on a slightly inclined city street when the car suddenly veered to the left. i was unable to control the steering and in panic was unable to stop the car before crossing several lanes and hitting a building. there were injuries to myself and my passenger. the car was a total loss and the building sustained structural damage.

The honda accord power steering completely shut off on me while driving on the highway. i experienced this very frightening situation yesterday with my 2013 honda accord v6 while driving about 40mph in a straight line i suddenly lost power with no apparent reason. i had the eps light show on my dash. i pulled over and restarted the car but with no success the power steering wouldn’t turn on it was completely dead. i did not see no fluid leaks under the car and the power steering pump has plenty of fluid.

Two nights ago i was driving on i-75 back home from work , i was going speed limit 70-75 mph and the car suddenly started "bogging down", didn't want to go above 30 mph and a number of dash lights were on: service engine, power steering, tire pressure and maybe traction control. i turn off the car, turn it back on, and the lights still on. i drive short distance home at 25-30 mph.  the following morning i looked at the car, didn't see anything wrong i felted very unsafe from car suddenly slow in the middle of hwy i-75 going from 70-75 mph to 25-30 mph, this happened with out any warning or enough time to pull over the shoulder, definitely a bad accident would happened here.

Takata recall starter motor (mitsuba) (v6) starter grinds or spin at startup

Had to replace the starter as it started going out with just over 51,000 miles on the car

When attempting to start engine of parked vehicle, nothing happened when key was turned. took several attempts to start car each time. starter had failed and was replaced.

I have 2013 accord lx 55k miles, and had intermittent starting problem from last few months, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, sometimes it just doesn't start. i leave it alont for about a min or two with key out and then it'll start, sometimes longer. battery is not the problem and i've already taken to the dealership to have them check the battery and the starting system. checked out ok, they couldn't duplicate. anybody else have this problem? now it won't start at all. i found the recall is for v6 models only. what should i do at this point?

Since purchase in 2017. we have had to get roadside assistance multiple times to jump the battery because vehicle wouldn't start. we have spoke to honda that perhaps this vin# vehicle should have been on a recall...but not included on a the 11/8/17 kgo recall. we then turn to local pepboys to do a 1st diagnostic on 10/2/2018 and showed damaged battery and so we purchased a new battery and then 2 weeks later on 11/2/18 had to have two jump starts that week and we returned to pepboys for a 2nd diagnostics that pinpointed something causing battery damage. installed a new 2nd battery which brings us to where we are currently. in conclusion, we are fearful as we drive this vehicle and park and worry that we are going to be left stranded some where when we go to crank vehicle or worse a fire due to some electrical short. we believe that honda should provide a voucher to take vehicle to local honda dealership at their cost to determine the root cause since they should know their vehicle the best.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the vehicle failed to start with no warning lights illuminated. the contact stated that the vehicle was able to restart after an hour but failed to turn off. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as the starter needing replacement. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer holler honda (2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807 (877)-872-9906) was contacted and a diagnostic appointment was scheduled. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 77,774.

Issue with push button start. started experiencing intermittently when pushing button, car won't start. typically hit the button again and car starts. now, however, it is taking a few to several times of pushing the start button for car to start. this can happen after being turned off for a minute to overnight. there is no pattern. i've seen this problem has happened to many owners of the '13 honda accord when i look online. why hasn't honda taken responsibility & issued a recall. this can be a safety issue if you get stuck somewhere & car won't start.

My car will not start at times, i make several attempts and after 4 or 5 trys it them starts.

I have been stranded about 15 times due to my car not starting and having several warning lights on. i bought this vehicle new and have completed all the necessary scheduled maintenance. i should not be experiencing this. after doing some research, several honda owners are experiencing thus same issue. this problem is starting to diminish my quality of life. i have to work for a living and not having a reliable vehicle has caused me to be late or miss work. honda is supposed to be one of the reliable vehicles but that is not the case for me. i truly believe this car is a lemon. when this has happened, my vehicle was off and stationary. i want to stress that this has happened 15 times and i wish i had stumbled on this site the first time because i would have logged each incident. it does not feel good to be stranded with a broken vehicle.

I own a 2013 honda accord. the power steering (eps) will go off randomly. in the past week it went off about 6 or 7 times per day. it will shut off even on the highway which makes it very dangerous to get control of the car. this happens daily.

Power steering failed while driving 65 mph on highway, luckily one exit from a dealer. eps warning light came on. took car to dealer and fixed it for 2900.00. warranty has since been extended from 5 to 13 years for this issue on my specific vehicle.

At 61xxx miles the vehicle began to no longer start reliably. sometimes i would push the start button and it would start normally and sometimes i would just hear a single click but the engine would not turn over. when the engine would not start it would sometimes start if you retried it, but usually it would only restart after multiple pushes of the start button. some days i could not start it after 20 or more attempts. after about a week of this when i finally got it started i drove it to my local mechanic's shop and left it for them to deal with. they diagnosed it as a bad starter, replaced the starter and now it works ok. i had tested the car battery and it had 13.6 volts. i tested the key fob batteries and they had well over their advertised 3v . i read the honda accord forums and found many, many people with the same symptoms. i believe this is the 6th honda i have owned and never replaced a starter on any of them - 3 or 4 of them have gone nearly 200k miles with no starter problem. judging by the number of people who have reported bad starters in the first 75000 miles i would have to say honda, was either trying to save money by using cheap starters or has a bad supplier for their starters. whatever it is, they are putting their customers ind some very inconvenient and potentially dangerous situations.

When attempting to use the push button to start the car,i am unable to start it. all the dashboard lights come on and i get a clicking sound. after 6-10 times trying to start the car it finally starts. car has 48,000 miles. has happened a few times.

When starting the car with the push button, about 50% of the time the engine does not start, there is a noise like static. looked on the internet and it appears that many many people have this problem on the 2013 accord. 99.9% of the time they have to replace a defective starter at $800. honda should step up and resolve this dangerous situation where the car does not start. this really is a safety issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving on the highway, the sun roof spontaneously shattered without warning. there were no injuries. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 125,000. *tt

Since last fall, engine does start only after multiple tries of pushing the button. lately we need a lot more tries before starting the car. based on the symptoms on file, it looks like it is the starter.

Sometimes the car will not start. brake is depressed and button is pushed to start, green light goes on but car does not start. air conditioner will run. i then push the starter button and everything goes off and try to start the car again. car usually starts after one or two times.

The honda has been intermittently starting for the past month. when you initially try to start there is a click and if you try again often 3-4 attempts it will start. summer months this is very frustrating the vehicle has a battery sensor recall and since the recall this has started to occur.

My car has just gone beyond the 36,000 mile warrantee & is now having difficulty starting. when the start button is pushed, all i get is some warning lights. it will start after 6 - 12 attempts. it does not seem to matter if the engine is cold or warm. three different people have experienced this problem when starting this vehicle. the problem has lasted weeks & is still present. it looks like the repair will cost about $600.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact was unable to start the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to scott robinson honda service center (2280 crenshaw blvd, torrance, ca) where it was diagnosed that the electronic ignition harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. after retrieving the vehicle, the failure continued. the vehicle was towed back to the service center where it was diagnosed that the starter was faulty. the starter was replaced and the failure was remedied. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 45,000.

Three malfunction indicators have come on in car and will not go off. those indicators are tpms tire pressure light, vsa vehicle stability assits and eps electronic power steering. this only began after i had my brakes in rear of car done and car was actually stationary when these lights came on. the lights will stay on when vehicle is in motion with really no change in driving. i have googled the issue and found that many honda owners are having the same issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while the contact's spouse was driving 40 mph, the power steering failed and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. the dealer was not contacted. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 98,000.

At 5 years old my honda accord will now only start on the first time about 50% of the time. this started about a month ago. the interior lights and radio all power on but the car will not turn over. sometimes it takes me several times/minutes to start. i had to change my battery $176 & now the key fobs too and this still occurred. this has 411,000 results if googled. this is very common although honda continues to not recognize this as an issue. please look into this!

Vehicle shakes back and forth while reducing or increasing speed around 10 mph. this happens often in stop and go traffic. honda appears to have documented the problem under sb 13-053.

I was driving my 2013 honda accord in a school zone and attempted to turn left, but the steering wheel was very difficult to turn. i needed to use a lot of force in order to turn the steering wheel to the left. i pulled over and stopped the car. when stopped, i still couldn't turn the wheel to the left, but it could be spun to the right continuously like it wasn't connected to anything. i called my honda dealership and was told to bring it in. they are replacing the steering gear box but it will cost me about $3,000. i consider myself lucky in that i was in a school zone and driving slowly, and not on the highway. otherwise, i would have lost control of my car while going at a higher speed.

I have been monitering my oil level consumption and for about 3 different oil changes (6200-6400 mile intervals). my dash shows 40% oil life remaining but when i check the dipstick there is no oil on it at all. it's bone dry. took the car in for a diagnosis and there are no signs or leaks either. the car is burning through 5 quarts of oil. when asked honda they say this is normal. i have never experienced this in any other car or my of other honda. and the low oil pressure light doesn't even come on until i apply the brakes harder than usual.

2013 accord. original battery died september 2016 - replaced battery again july 2018. beginning in may 2018 turn the key and lights come on but engine doesn't crank. it takes 2 or 3 tries then cranks and starts like normal. very disappointed in honda brand. they were know for reliability - no longer! would not recommend honda to anyone i know looking for a car.

When pushing my ignition button, my car won’t start, it makes a chocking noise. this chocking noise happens one to twice daily for the last several months. the car usually starts after two tries of pushing the ignition button. this ignition failure can happen failure can happen first thing in the morning or even when my car has been in use all day.

Since i had the car when i pushed the start button the car made a grinding noise and would not start. i figured it was the starter and dealt with it. i recently had my brakes fixed and the mechanic said it was the fly wheel. i looked on line and saw numerous complaints and a class action law suit. there if obviously a defect in the part. the service bullitn was issued in 2013 so my car would have been under warranty. i bought 2 2013 hondas i'm hoping honda will take care of the issue at their expense. i have an appt monday at the dealer 973-464-0037

I have honda accord 2013 and it’s only 60000 miles and start problem like i just change battery and just started problem for ignition switch and it’s hard to turn on may be starter problem but it’s only 5 year and it’s too early to have that problem

2 items- was there an air bag recall? & starter push button malfunction, it doesn't start at times when pushed, it's getting worst, i'm up to over five trys and now it feels like i'd be stuck at any location. it started about two months ago. someone on youtube claimed that there was a recall on the 2013 accord push button starter.

While driving the car on a busy street, all of a sudden the steering wheel became extremely hard to turn either left or right. stopped the car carefully and turned of the engine. after a while, turned the engine back on and the steering was fine. call the dealer today about the problem and going to the dealership thursday july 05, 2018

Early failure of starter. the starter failed within 5 years of purchase (new car) with very low mileage 46k miles. i could not start my engine on multiple occasions.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check oil and engine warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the contact’s residence. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 130,000.

The electric power steering eps warning light , coupled with steering wheel stiff resistance, occurred during several random events over the last four days - once the first day 30 mph on rural road, twice the second at 50 and 30 mph on highway then rural road, four times yesterday within those speeds on city streets, then twice while driving to the dealership this morning at 60 mph on interstate highway. shutting off the engine, then restarting, only temporarily cleared the issue. i was fortunately driving during the events, and not allowing my wife or daughter to even consider handling. tight turns were not possible - period. the dealership, upon completing diagnostics today, determined the steering box/rack and pinion were the source of failure. with <59,000 miles, spotless record of maintenance at this original dealer, and never abused, this type of either mechanical or electrical failure is unacceptable, as well a danger to the public. i reviewed 158 comments/cases on car complaint websites, specific to honda accord 2013 models with similar eps/steering box issues. driving at any speed, where a passenger is presented a non-responsive steering event, would not be accepted by honda management, nor any of their employees. statistically, this appears a design flaw is the apparent issue, and replacement-in-kind in my logic doesn't resolve the issue, especially at my expense. in my area of expertise in crude refining, any failure is unacceptable in a mechanically sound piece of well-maintained equipment. if a steerable piece of equipment lost power in our facility, company resources and focused teams, safety audits, and possibly osha oversight would ensue. i'll be contacting honda with the news that i cannot further support their products designed with eps. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving approximately 25 mph, the trunk automatically opened. the contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and was able to close the trunk. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (san leandro honda, 1302 marina boulevard, san leandro, california 94577) where it was diagnosed that the trunk latch failed and needed replacement. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

Car developed problems starting. all lights, radio, etc would turn on but the starter will not start the vehicle. it began slowly and got increasingly worse with time. problem got even worse after the recalled battery sensor was replaced.

Car would not start after pushing push start multiple times at 5:00 p.m. car was stationary .tried to start again at 6:00 p.m., would not start. next morning tried to again to start car, failed to start. called aaa they came twice the first tech stated battery was fine and that it was the starter he didn't have tow truck so a second tech came again stated it was the starter. car was towed to honda dealership and the diagnosis was starter needed to be replaced.

Car won't start. after battery sensor recall was completed the problem started. brake pedal does not go down. press keyless start and only dashboard lights go on. have to get the car jumped every 2-3 days. afraid to turn the car off. all recalls completed. dealer where i purchased the car from was not familiar with the problem. brand new battery.

The starter intermittently grinds/spins when starting, replaced starter and problem still happens. multiple complaints to the problem on line.have located honda's service bulletin tsb 16-002 but honda claims my vin not covered by extended warranty.

Starter issue that is affected by not engaging due the heat of the engine or other heat source i.e. oil pan or exhaust system. driving my honda accord from lake mary to fort meyers beach where i pulled into a rest area near rubonia fl, parked the car and turned the engine off. i came back to the car and proceeded to insert my key and nothing happened. luckily there was a state farm road ranger in the rest stop and he moved his truck to mine and proceeded to give me a jump. once the jumper cables were on, the car turned over without an issue.

2013 honda accord. consumer writes seeking reimbursement for vehicle repairs related to a safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the high pressure fuel pump failed and had to be repalced. *js

I noticed several weeks ago that the car would not start at first attempt and today (01-25-18) my 2013 honda accord failed to start completely. i have about 50,000 miles on it and i feel that this problem should not happen since the car is not very old. now i have to pay about $900 to have it repaired because a new starter is needed. hopefully, the car was in the parking lot of my local library so no accidents happened. the only reason i have this car is for its reliability but now i have second thoughts.

I woke up this morning to drive to work, while i was driving the engine cut off, i almost hit a fire hydrant. i drove 0.3 miles, i was at the red light ,about to make a right turn, the vehicle cut off again. the steering got locked and i coudln't position the vehicle. ever since the recall was done on my vehicle regarding the battery issue, i've been having problem, it's either i jump start today, or the car wont start. i was told they didnt touch nothng in the vehicle. honda claim the vehicle is okay.

The car has gradually required numerous attempts to start anywhere from 2 to 12 and on some occasions required a jump to start from another vehicle. this started two weeks ago and has progressively gotten worse over that time. diagnostic testing on 1-15-18 revealed no problems with the car specifically the electrical system.

The driver side sun visor falls down blocking the view and distracting the driver. this is obviously a wide spread problem as there are a number of videos on you tube claiming to show how to repair it. honda should have to replace these visors when they malfunction. nhtsa is derelict if it does not address this problem! this problem happens without warning or any action on the part of the driver.

It turns over the battery light goes on smells like smoke

When trying to start, it makes a clicking sound, doesn't turn over and the dashboard lights flicker. replaced the battery, but didn't help. sometimes, after several attempts, it may start, but not usually. went on "honda blog" and found several same type of complaints. some believe it may be a starter defect.

Sudden loss of power steering and power steering warning light appeared while vehicle was in motion on city street. continued to drive vehicle and power steering returned after 20 to 30 minutes. indicator light shut off 30 to 40 minutes after power steering returned.

60,000 miles car would not start. after several attempts it started ok. again a few days later tried to start and would not. bought a new battery and worked ok for a couple days. getting worse and worse and now instead of once a week it's 4-5 times a week. took to honda dealership in leesberg fla and they told me i was putting "cell phone" to close to key fob therefore blocking signal to ignition. the next day i replaced key fob and did not have cell phone anywhere close. car would not start. after now knowing if car would start or not and dealer telling me unless it happened "all" the time they could not fix. got on the internet and it said that everyone is having this problem and honda has a defective starter. i took car to have new starter installed and have not had any problems since. i find it strange that the honda "dealer" was not aware of this and i had to research info thru the internet to find the problem and don't know why honda does not repay the customer and or have a recall on the starter. my problem is now fixed with the installation of a new starter!

Our 2013 honda accord push button engine start button is not working reliably. we depress the brake and push the button, lights come on but no starter noise. we recently had the honda recall for the battery boot completed. within 2 months we began having difficulty with the push button engine start. the car battery was replaced approximately 4 months ago so we were sure it wasn't that. next step, replaced both fob batteries. still having the same difficulty. is it a coincidence that honda dealer has been in the engine/electrical system recently or is this a bad sign of honda's poor workmanship?

I have been having trouble with starting up my honda accord. i thought it was the battery so i got that replaced but am still having issues. i press the start button and the power turns on but does not start the engine. it does this multiple times. sometimes it will start the engine but lately, it has turned more into a gamble on when it will actually start the engine.

I had a recall affecting the charging system of my car. i did take my car in for the second part of the recall but unfortunately since that work was done my car is emitting smoke like smell as i am driving even when the heat is not on. also it is heating without me turning the heater on as well. it is to be noted that i never had that issue before. i had the work done on 12/18/2017

The starter grinds or spins at startup. the issue is similar to https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/sb-10088442-2280.pdf . it appears other honda accord models are also impacted. i have honda accord ex

The starting can’t start the car and i had it replaced and it still won’t start. i’ve seen a lot of complaints about the 2013 honda accord starter and i don’t know why it hasn’t been recalled

(from the service department's invoice on 08/09/16) 2 sensor one wires chewed on by rodent shorting pcm. triggered shut off. replaced sensor. my complaint is that the wires were not vinyl but were soy and that's the cause of the problem. the car had to be towed to the dealer for repair. since the car was out of warranty, i was charged $422 to replace the sensor. i want a refund. i understand that there is a class action law suit against honda over the issue of the soy coated wires. ( my husband, roy baker, is most familiar with this issue.)

Bought 2013 honda accord sedan sport on 06/13. i just reached the 32000miles and my starter is slipping and causing me to turn the ignition a few times before it starts. i strongly believe there may be a fault on the product or installation of part.

Had two of my car door actuators went up had to pay over $800 to repair them people were getting locked in my car when to stopped .next day doors making some noise took my car back to dealer they said the other two doors were going up .talk to the mechanic that did the work he said he would do the work for a discount if they would ok it. since they did not find it same day.they said no way they want another $800 to fix them . so people are still getting locked in my car. i think this would be a saftey issue.

Driving down the highway when all of a sudden i heard a loud noise thinking i had a blowout to find out my sunroof glass just shattered .not a car was around me when this happen.

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.

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.

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!

I have a 2013 honda accord and i have been the only owner. i recently had to replace the starter! it's rediculous to have to do that on a 2013. i would press the start button and it would just click. after several attempts, it would finally start.

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!

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.

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.

@31000 mles,trunk lid no longer responds to key fob. opening trunk requires inside lever action. estimated cost to repair seems out of reason for a part that failed while car was in garage.

Takata recall

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.

My 2013 honda accord sport experienced engine starting problem. sometimes it took 3 or 4 times to turn the key to get the car started. i took the car to the sunnyvale honda dealer for diagnostic and they told me it was the starter problem. it costs me $936 to replace the starter including parts and labor. i can't believe that my car is only about 4 years old with less than 40k mileage having the starter issue that needs to be replaced. what a shame with the honda brand!!!

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.

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.

Ignition fails intermittently with grinding, scraping noise.

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.

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.

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.

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.

17v-418

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.

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

Battery a piece to be placed on the battery sensor to prevent moisture from entering to prevent a fire

Received card for airbag recall

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.

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.

Intermittent starting problems. required new starter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was unknown. vin tool confirms parts not available.

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.

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.

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.

Hesitation when moving forward. it bumps three to four times on low speeds.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the push to start feature failed without warning. in addition, the instrument panel lights illuminated normally; however, the vehicle failed to start. when the vehicle did start, it took approximately ten previous attempts. the vehicle would no longer start at all. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (honda cars of katy, 210021 katy fwy, katy, tx 77450) where it was diagnosed that the starter failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted directly; however, the contact wrote a letter to the ceo. the failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

Push button starting issues

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 less than 30,000 miles of any electrical issues. i am concern of service fraud because i was charge to recharged and replace the battery. one time i was within warranty and the other was just a few months afterward. i am requesting a reimbursement of some manner; it can be monetary or free servicing my car.

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 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

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.

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.

I have owned my 2013 honda accord since 2013. i have had numerous problems with this model. the most being with the car starting. i have replaced the battery and the starter and am still having problems starting the car. i went online and noticed that this is a huge problem with this model. th car makes a clicking noise as if it is going to start then it doesn't start. all the lights come on and it then begins to start after a couple of minutes have gone by. pushing the button does not get the car to start. you have to push it numerous times to get it to start. this problem has cost me upwards of $700 to $1,000 to replace every time there is an issue. this should be a manufacturers issue as a starter should not be worn out in 3 years. please take a look at this problem as i am sure it will be a lawsuit coming soon based on all the other complaints i have read with this issue. i am taking my car back to the dealer today to have this issue looked at again.

Intermittent engine starting. starter is energized but fails to start motor. a loud gnashing or grinding can be heard as the starter tries to turn motor. it sounds as if the starter doesn't fully engage the flex plate/flywheel. engine eventually starts after several (as many as 10) attempts. the problem is not consistent with any condition. i've driven 2 weeks with no issues then will have 5 episodes in 2 days. a completely random occurrence but very frustrating and embarrassing.

While driving on a 2 lane road, i suddenly lost power in my steering and as i was approaching a curve i nearly crashed into the car next to me. the steering light came on and steering the car was nearly impossible. i continued to drive and exited a the nearest exit and turned off the car. when i turned it off and on again the light on the dashboard vanished and the steering was back to normal. since then i haven't felt comfortable driving the vehicle. i called my local honda service department and they said that without the light on or the issue being apparent, there is nothing they can do. i am concern with this issue as it implies a serious safety issue. i have read some posts and this seems to be a problem with this year and model.

I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord, ex-l,. my honda has 42k miles. at about 25k miles my accord started to make a very obvious and disturbing droning/humming noise at speeds above 40 mph. the noise became progressively louder as time went by. i brought the car to my local honda dealer 2 times and asked them to fix the problem, to no avail. after having new tires installed at 42k miles, and the droning noise was still occurring, i brought the car to my local honda dealer a third time and they diagnosed the noise problem as coming from a defective front right wheel bearing and a defective rear left wheel bearing. both wheel bearings were replaced on july 27, 2016 and the droning noise above 40 mph is gone. replacing the wheel bearings fixed the problem! the service advisor at the dealer was not able to explain why the wheel bearings failed, and he stated that the technicians at the dealership did not know why/how the bearings failed either. i contacted honda america hq on august 1, 800-999-1009, and was told that honda america would not disclose the details of the bearing failures. they also declined my request to authorize the replacement of the remaining 2 wheel bearings. honda america established a case number for my issue, case # 04884545. due to the lack of transparency from honda america as to the cause/resolution of the wheel bearing failures, i am concerned that the underlying bearing or wheel structure problem has not been corrected, and that my 2013 honda accord will be subjected to future wheel bearing failures.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the engine failed to start and the navigational system failed intermittently. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition electrical system caused the battery to drain. the navigational electrical system failed to operate due to battery failure. the dealer replaced the battery and the starter assembly; however, the failure was not corrected. the vehicle failed to start and the navigational system continued to fail. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 52,031.

While driving on a local street i attempted to male a left when suddenly the vehicle lost power steering. i turned the vehicle off for a few minutes, turned it on and the steering responded. that same day when returning home i decided not to take the highway because of the steering problem. again, this time while driving in a straight line the vehicle lost steering. turning it off again for three minutes seemed to restore steering.

The key turns over but engine does not crank

My 2013 honda accord ex-l has been having intermittent starting problems (push button start). this starting happening approximately three weeks ago. yesterday, july 14, 2016, the car would not start at all. this is not a car battery issue because all electrical components are working, i.e. radio, dash lights, horn etc. this also is not a key fob battery issue because the key fob still locks and unlocks the door. car was taken to the honda dealership to have problem diagnosed and repaired. this car is still under the original manufacturer's warranty, car is less than 3 years old and has a little over 32,000 miles.

2nd time having the fcw failed issue. dash lights up like a christmas tree. traction and sluggish response to foot on pedal. makes me nervous to drive. cost me a ton to fix the first time, i'm sure they will charge me again. reading online i am not alone. this is extremely dangerous.

Premature brake wear. replaced front rotors and front pads last year due to vibration along with rear pads. around june 2015 with 55,000 miles on car. then the rear caliper seized up on the passenger side in march 2016, 70245 miles. rear rotors resurfaced and pads replaced. now i just had service done because rear driver side caliper seized up. they also did front rotors and pads due to excessive wear. mileage 79000.

While driving 7/15/16 the electric steering warning indicator light went on, and the steering wheel became impossible to turn or steer until it finally ceased to turn (total time for complete loss of steering capability was less than 1 min.). i was driving on a 4-lane city street traveling at about 45mph. i turned the vehicle off for about 3 mins. and then restarted it. the indicator light was off and the steering worked fine. i immediately drove to a honda dealership who told me the car is probably fine as it had a software update installed 9 mos. ago and if it happens again i should bring the car in for replacing the steering box. i requested a note be made in my car repair history. they did not provide me with any paperwork.

On two of our tires the rubber cracked and completely split from the radial around 1/3 to 2/3 around the tire about 0.25" from the wheel rim. this happened on 2 of the 4 tires (all the same dot and installed at the same time.) the rear tires show the initial signs of the same defect but the rubber hasn't separated yet from the radial. the tires have about 45,000 miles on them installed and service by firestone. luckilly there was not an accident, breakdown, fire, etc; however, it is very suspicious that all four tires have nearly the same defect. i have pictures of the tires. dot y9bc clhx 3315. brand prime wall size 205/65/r16 on 2013 honda accord. located in san diego california.

I went to crank my car, which was perfectly fine yesferday , and it wont turn over and there are several lights on and clicking and blinking. i thought it might be the battery and tried to jump it off and nothing changed. a symbol that looks like a steering wheel and exclamation point, low tire light, brake light, and skid control symbols were all on.

In about three weeks ago, when sometimes i turn the wheels i loose the power and the car restarted. it making me scary to drive the car. i went to the honda dealer in collage park, maryland with the recall letter for the eps system that i received and explained to them the problem that i am having, but i did not get any help. they said that there was an update on my system last year and that the problem is not caused by the eps system and i have to pay $130 for the diagnose.

First occasion it happened, the steering wheel jerked to the right, the steering wheel light did not come on.. (30 mph) second occasion it happened, the steering wheel jerked to the right, the steering wheel light did not come on. i was driving roughy 20 mph. third time it happened, i was driving 70 mph and almost hit the guy next to me. the steering wheel light did not come on the fourth time it happened, i was driving 40 mph and the steering wheel light did come on. i did not have power steering for about 30 miles. the fifth time it happened, i was driving about 80 mph and the light did not come on.

Starter motor had progressive premature failure. began having problems with car not starting about a month ago. loud click, all dash lights would come on, but no crank or start. eventually would not re-start and left car stranded. car started with jumper cables. dealer diagnosed starter failure. vehicle is 2-1/2 years old with 49,845 miles. dealer did not offer warranty repair. cost for replacement was $724.00.

While driving my 2013 honda accord my steering wheel locked up twice after a dash light came on. this almost resulted in a crash both times i was able to stop. to get the wheel to unlock i had to turn the car off restart it and it would work properly agan. this is a v6 accord and has approx 38000 miles on it well maintained. please help this could cause serious injuries or death if locks up especially on the highway. this needs to be a recall. note that i was making left turns both times.

My 2013 accord sport has been intermittently starting for months when stationary. i changed the battery to a stronger cranking one and it did not fix it although now it will start eventually after several tries. i have tested the alternator and it passed. next is the starter but honda changed its location and placed it under the motor. i submitted links from a honda forum to this website documenting many others having the same issue whether they drive lx, ex, or sport. cvt manual it doesn't seem to matter. i have not replaced the starter and think it should be recalled if that's the issue. there are youtube videos also popping up with 2013 accords not starting.

There was total power steering failure while doing parallel parking twice in an hour today (5/30/2016). it too much effort to turn even a little. we were lucky we were not on highway or street. restarting the car seemed to resolve first failure. second failure corrected itself upon driving couple of feet. now, i am afraid to drive the car till this problem is fixed as it may result in crash.

2013 accord having issues starting, turn once nothing, i give it a minute then it starts, this is every time i get in my car to drive. i've already had to replace battery. this is embarrassing considering the car is not yet 3 years old!

2013 honda accord sport is starting to have starting problems, sometimes engine doesn't turn over when first turning the key. and from what i have read on this site it sounds like it is progressively going to get to the point of having to replace the starter, not happy i was hoping on having a reliable car.

This issue stared last week i didn't think too much on this but as the days goes on it take longer for me to start my car and me day i have to stop at lease 2 to 4 times to get the car to start. as i continue to search online to see what was the issue i am seeing more and more of this problem of what i am having. my car has been parked and there is no wires connected to the car to drain the battery, i have change both my car battery in my key battery already. this is very annoying i've been using honda for many years now and i never had this problem. with my other pass honda i would have to turn the key.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the driver side headrest caused her neck pain. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown. the vin was not included.

I got in my car this morning and couldn't get it to start again. i had to call aaa to jump my car.

I had to tow my car home today. it wouldn't start. i have had trouble with it in the past weeks now but it would start eventually. but not this time. i might lose my job because of this car failure. weither it was stationary yes but could of been blocking traffic.

The starter in the car is not starting until 3rd attempt to start or not starting at all. we have had to wait and try again minutes later then on the third attempt it starts, the battery has been replaced and the connections to the battery are good. this has been happening for about 3 weeks now.

Fuel tank leak nhtsa recall number 13v-297, mfr campaign id ja9 honda has issued a recall for vehicles manufactured from 1/15/13 - 4/5/13. my vehicle was manufactured in 3/13 and they claim it does not fall in the recall. i have the 'check fuel cap' warning and the "malfunction indicator light' coming on which are the indicators something is wrong with the seal. honda is refusing to address my vehicle for this recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the accelerator pedal became stuck and the vehicle continued to accelerate. the contact was able to stop the failure by pulling on the accelerator pedal by hand. the failure recurred intermittently. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 82,000.

In attempting parallel parking practice with son, experienced total power steering failure (multiple instances) when wheel was fully turned. vehicle was either stopped to turn wheel into parking spot, or moving very slow (under 2 mph).

My 2013 accord is having problems with the push start button. three separate times in one week our car had trouble starting. it would make a sound of hesitation before starting for 3-5 seconds. we had the battery replaced this past winter. we took the car to our local honda dealer for a check on the electrical and starting systems. they could not find anything wrong. we might have to wait for the car to not start in order for honda to find out what is wrong.

Car won't start,about a month ago i bought a 2013 honda accord exl v6, it worked fine for about a week, but soon after that i started experiencing starting problems. i have taken it to the mechanic many times, i have had the electrical system checked, replaced starter, the battery etc. the problem still persists, after doing much research i have learned that this is a problem that is very wide spread, there are several you tube videos, and posts of frustrated owners unable to start their cars constantly having to replace the started in most cases. every car from 2013-2016 is suffering from this problem, of being unable to start, as a college student i don't have that much money to constantly fix it as it happens. this was supposed to be a reliable car, to replace my old car which was developing major problems, but at least the car started every time. please, address this issue with urgency many people depend on these vehicles, to get to work school etc.

My family and i were stranded due to our 2013 honda accord not starting. we just came out of the movies and the car was stationary in the parking lot. i turned the key and it would just click. i had to pay for towing and over $800 to have the starter replaced at the honda dealer. it would have been more, but i called another dealer and they price matched the starter. i drive a lot of mile to work so i have over 60k miles in 2 years. after doing a little research i found that this problem is happening to a lot of people. the problem can be seen on forums and youtube videos. this problem seems to affects new cars, base models, push buttons, v6's etc. i think the starter should be recalled because many people are being forced to replace starters that the dealer seemed to know was bad.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the steering wheel seized without warning. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering box failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 38,000. the vin was not available.

Keyless fob has two times opened all four windows and sun roof while in my pants pocket a couple of inches. the last time on april 11, 2016 it rained two inches and the car was left in the rain. the following morning the car would not start . the lights on the dash were flickering like crazy. you can not tell the sun roof is open because the sliding cover is closed. i think honda should remove this feature that allows you to open the sunroof from pressing a button from your fob. this cost me a lot of money and i didn't even know the sun roof was left open.

While driving the vehicle on city streets, the power steering fails, making it very difficult to steer the vehicle and requires a great amount of effort to control the steering. a power steering message appears on the dashboard. after stopping the vehicle and shutting it down, then restarting it, seems to tentatively correct it.this has happened three times in three days. i am very concerned with our safety in driving this car!

In november 2015 i parked my car in the driveway. went out an hour later and it wouldn't start. jumped the car and it drove fine. in janary 2016 i pulled up to get gas. after fueling the car wouldn't start. had to push my car out of the way and have someone jump it again. had battery tested at two different shops and it is fine. came home from work tonight april 1, 2016. went to leave two hours later and it won't start again.

Starter went off. car was not starting immediately. it was taking long time to start after tried several time. mechanic replaced the new starter cost $750.00 labor and parts.

Check engine light keeps going on since the car hit exactly 60,000 miles. code said it is related to the fuel system. changed the sensor; light was off and now back on. continuously occurs while driving the vehicle on the highway or city streets. all gauges are fine and car is maintaining gas mileage. could it be that the o-ring and fuel tank are only slightly better than that on the original 2013 honda accords (built with faulty fuel tanks) causing the o ring to wear out? how can this be checked. also just want to note that my wife had a 2009 pilot that kept needed spark plugs and had excessive oil consumption--she got rid of the car because she kept arguing that something was wrong with the vehicle with the honda dealership--honda admitted to the problem and extended the powertrain warranty right after she got rid of the car.

I was on a road trip. my car started pulling to the left. then it became extremely hard to turn the wheel to the right. i pulled into a fast food parking lot, and when i turned loose of the wheel, it spun to the left. i continued to my destination with both hands tight on the wheel, scared to even change lanes. i had called ahead for an appointment with a wheel alignment shop. when i got there, they put the car on a hydraulic lift, up several feet in the air, turned the key on, and turned the steering wheel. the wheel and the tires were spinning to the left. they had no idea what was wrong. i called the local honda dealership. i was told there that they had no idea, and had to call honda. they determined the electronic power steering was faulty, and had to replace the power steering gear assembly. even though the car was out of warranty (i had 37,000 miles on it), honda paid for all but $182 of the cost. i was told it would have been a $2,100 repair.

I bought my 2013 accord sport new. almost immediately i noticed that after i start it and put it in drive, it would not go anywhere. slight press of the acceleration pedal and slowly it would move forward, however within approximately a minute the acceleration pedal press and the vehicle moving would work as they should. since i only considered this an inconvenience, even though this is not " normal", i ignored the issue. in mid 2014, while driving on the freeway, in los angeles, the vehicle's electrical system and the dashboard went completely out, only to flicker back to life within the next two seconds. a few months after, with no warning and for no apparent reason, while i attempted to start the vehicle, i discovered it to be completely dead. no clicks, no flickering lights. i replaced the battery at about 25k miles. over the next year, the sudden electrical short, where the dashboard electronics and everything electrical on the car would turn off suddenly, continued. every two months on average i would experience an episode, some while driving, some when i was stationary, with the engine running for couple of minutes. beginning of 2016, i attempted to start the vehicle, again no sign of life, out of the blue. i jump started it, had it checked, no apparent problems or issues with the battery. end of march 2016, same problem. i went to start the vehicle, it turned the dashboard lights on, then it died...no clicks, no lights flickering. i had it checked by a mechanic, could not find anything wrong with it. i don't know what to do.i liked what honda used to represent, i am not sure anymore about its reliability.

2013 accord sport is starting to have a starting problem. sometimes engine does not turn over when first turning the key. and from what i have read on this site it sounds like it is progressively going to get to the point of having to replace the starter. not happy. i was hoping on having a reliable car when i bought this car however i have had multiple issues two being major but thank god it was under warranty. one being transmission replacement at around 8,000 miles and the timing belt/tensioner issues.

Intermittent issues with the car not starting. once you stick the key in the ingnition and turn the key the car will not start. i have full power to all the electronic in the car but the car will not start. i have to turn the key multiple times for the car to start. the car only has 40,000 miles on it and i have replaced the battery but the problem persist

I parked my car in our home garage after driving 15-20 miles. an hour later, when i tried to take the car out, at ignition it just refused to start. i got many dashboard chattering indicators on but no engine cranking. tried couple of times but same results. checked head lights and found them bright and ok indicating no possible battery issue. then i jump started from our other car parked next to it. it started almost immediately. but the dashboard indicators remained 'on'. i used vehicle setting menu and selected factory default reset. but the indicators remained 'on'. i took the car for a short drive. as soon as i drove some 15-20 feet, the indicators went off. i drove for some time and tried to stop the engine and restart it couple times without any problems. in my case, i was fortunate to have this happened at home garage and not middle of the road. but when i tried to research online about this problem, i found many such similar complaints and some of them were indicating possible 'bad' starter issue which required $800-1000 for the replacement and repairs. my car is around 18 months old with clean records of regular maintenance. the car has logged around 32,400 miles and maintained with care. as a concerned owner, after reading those online complaints and reports, i thought of sharing my issue here and record it too. i see there are enough similar complaints to arrive at there could be a faulty component (may be starter or something else, i am not an expert) which might need attention and possible recall repairs by the manufacturer

A few months ago, my 2013 honda accord sport with 42k miles became hesitant to start. a turn of the key and i just heard clicks , after 3-5 tries it usually started on up. the problem progressed, yet i continued to "make due", i started putting the car in neutral to start it, and even had to be jumped off a few times. eventually in early february my battery went bad, and i purchased a new one. on march 12,2016 my car refused to start. i had to have it towed to the dealership i purchased the car from - in 2013 with 18 miles on it...on 3/14/16 i was just informed that my starter is bad. to replace the starter it will be $850....not including the diagnostic fee of $110 and the towing cost of $80, all because this doesn't fall under the 3/36k warranty that is standard with honda. seems like a ridiculous price to pay, especially after seeing the other complaint on this site of other honda owners with the same issue. i personally feel this should be a recall on hondas part. 2013 was the first year they made the honda accord sport edition ( i was told at the dealership), obviously something went awry at the factory. when i called the dealership to explain my problem, i gave the year,make, and model of my car. the technician that answered the phone replied with "oh, yes ma'am, i just spoke with you 10 minutes agoi?" it was the first time i had called. that tells me there are other 2013 honda accord sport owners experiencing the same problem. make it right honda!!

I have a 2013 honda accord sport that is only 2.5 years old with 40,318 miles. the vehicle kept hesitating to start for about a week. i would play with key and then it would start. on sunday, i stopped vehicle to put gas. then it didn't start. i brought battery to auto zone and it was fine. i called honda road hazard to have towed to honda dealership. they put on diagnostic and it was a bad starter. the 36,000 mile warranty ended. the repair was not covered. the parts and labor were $896.34 to fix. i still haven't received bill for tow that wasn't covered. this should be a recall with multiple other complaints for this same repair. this is practically a new car with thirty more car payments. honda used to be reliable. at least it killed in a gas station with people. i could have been stranded in dark parking lot. it was late in afternoon and the tow took over 45 minutes to arrive. a new car should start.

I have honda accord white ex-l since 11/10/2012 with current mileage of 16,300. 1. recently, i went to my mechanic to have air pressure checked on my car, since i was going for a long trip. while, air pressure was being checked, i left the car on in accessory mode for about 3 minutes. when i went on to turn the car on, it wouldn't turn on. dash board lights, flickered at every attempt, when i tried turning on the car. my mechanic checked the battery, he said, battery is dead. i had the battery replaced. once battery was replaced, mechanic checked alternator. he stated, alternator is not working properly. i told him, i will take the car to honda dealer. this reminded me, that same thing happened on 7/4/2014, where i had left the hazard lights on and radio on at the same time in power mode for about 5 minutes. i called honda care, 1st driver, couldn't jump start my car. 2nd driver came, and he was able to jump start my car. he stated battery was fine at that time. however, i just realized, my driver side window was taking lot longer to open and close than it should. with new battery, i will bring car to dealer to have the car checked. also, since above instances, i turn off my headlights from auto mode, and also interior lights from dimming or turning off automatically to save battery from draining. 2. since i bought the car in november 2013, i have noticed that, i can hear fuel moving in the fuel tank. in my old 2000 honda accord, i never heard such a thing. 3. since 2012, i have gotten alignment done 3 times, but i still feel the vibration through out my car, and car feels like wobbling in the front. 4. not happy with mpg. in city, i get 9 to 11 mpg. highway, it is just about 32 to 35 mpg as advertised and tested. 5. sometimes, when putting on the driver side seat belt, it gets stuck. i have to retract it and than i am able to secure it in seat belt clip.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact noticed that the front passenger side was leaking under the hood. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the washer reservoir, hose, and the hood liner were chewed through completely. the technician informed the contact that the hoses, washer motor, and spray nozzle needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 15,504. the vin was not provided. updated 04/20/16*lj consumer stated on 2/15/16 she noticed leak underneath passenger side front. found hoses had been chewed through in several locations. also found chewing of metal in engine compartment and hole chewed through liner of hood. consumer found online there is a federal class action lawsuit filed 1/21/16 involving american motor company inc (honda) for vehicles 2012 thur 2015. the suit charges honda used soy-based products in their manufacturing which attracts rodents. updated 6/25/18*jb

Serious engine vibration when cold, began around 30,000 miles. recently, computer generated mpg numbers fluctuate wildly for same trip. example, today 10 mile trip, 23.3 mpg going 33.3 mpg returning. inaccurate oil life reminder, showing 70% left after 7,000 mi. used to show 20% after 5,000 when i have oil changed. dealer says all normal, call honda ifi have a problem. radio on off problems since new. all occur regardless of vehicle location or moving or not.

Pre mature engine oil consumption.

The head restraint causes serious neck pain. the seat design is improper and does not allow for comfortable seating. my legs go numb which can lead to invalid response in braking. stiff neck pain can cause me to miss blind spots or have reaction time neccessary to avoid dangerous collisions. these seats have not been corrected and should be replaced immediately. multiple positions do not help. driving for extended amount of time cause neck to leg pain.

I got in my car in the morning in the garage, stepped on the brake to start the engine and it wouldn't start but the car power was on. i ended up having to call aaa to tow the car to honda. aaa was able to jump the car and i drove it to san leandro honda. they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. i looked on line and saw you tube videos with other people who had honda's and the same thing happened to them.

In november 2015 and again in january 2016 i was slowing down to move into a parking space (once in a parking lot and another on a side street) when my car had a sudden jolt of power. fortunately, because i was going at a slower speed i was able to immediately hit the brake and come to a stop, but both times it was within inches of hitting the vehicle in front of me. the jolt was sudden and is not the same surge of power one feels if you step heavy on the gas pedal.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired; however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed a new battery. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

While driving on a city street at 30 mph experienced loss of power steering and eps warning light simultaneously came on. turned vehicle off and restarted as manual instructed; warning light went out and power steering appeared ok. later the same day while driving on a city street at 30 mph the eps warning light came on and vehicle was once again very difficult to steer due to loss of power steering. the next day light was still on and power steering did not work. vehicle had to be repaired. dealer stated it needed a "software update" and they found a "loose pin fit at eps control unit".

On several occasions over the last six weeks when turning left, the car will stall for a second or so losing all power. it then will suddenly accelerate. i have nearly been hit when turning onto a road by on coming traffic when i should have had plenty of time to get out of the way. this is a major safety issue! the dealer had the car for three days. the service rep drove it home. the mechanic drove it. they could not reproduce the problem. the day i got the car back it again stalled or lugged. most of the time it stalls when turning left but it has failed in reverse and when leaving a stop lite. the service manager said he would call honda engineering to see what problems they might be aware of. that was a week ago and i've not heard back. the problem does not happen if you are over 20 mph. this is a 6 cylinder honda. the problem happens with ecco off or on. i purchased the car certified used 10/201
