2013 Honda Accord Complaint Log

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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

PRE MATURE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION.

My vehicle was taken to Matt Burne Honda on at [XXX] for recall work on driveshafts since I got my vehicle back I have been having issue after issue. My vehicle was in there twice. He diagnosed the issue as a speed sensor from sitting in my passenger seat never even took on highway to see what the problem really was. My car has been unsafe for the road since I got it back. Brand new tires are now destroyed my car has a horrible death wobble. Did not do this prior to bringing it there INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

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".

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.

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 10/2015 FROM A HONDA DEALER. IT HAS 18,000 MILES. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER OF HONDA'S FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS. *JS

THE POWER STEERING FAILED AT 62K MILES WITH NO EARLIER INDICATIONS/WARNINGS THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AT MY EXPENSE TO A HONDA DEALER. FORTUNATELY, THIS OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITHOUT MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR TOOK ONE WEEK (HAD TO ORDER PARTS, HOLIDAY, STAFFING SHORTAGE) AND WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH HONDA DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,500. THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR AWARENESS. 2013 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AFTER 2ND START UP OF THE DAY SEVERAL HOURS LATER. AMBER LIGHT ON DASH, NO STEERING. CANNOT MOVE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON DOESN'T HELP RESOLVE ISSUE AS PER SOME COMPLAINTS. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO HONDA TSB #15-055 AND 15-056.

MY CAR IS MAKING THIS "CLICKING" SOUND WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS ON THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN. MY CAR HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR KNOWN BY HONDA! I THINK THIS IS A LOAD OF CRAP.

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

MY 2013 4 CYLINDER ACCORD AT APPROX. 35,000 IS BURNING OIL. I HAVE TAKEN TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE SERVICING PER THE MAINTENANCE MINDER SYSTEM, LAST VISIT WAS 4,000 MILES /3 MONTHS AGO. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS BELOW THE MARK ON THE DIPSTICK TO INDICATING TO ADD OIL. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE WHO SUGGESTED I TAKE IN TO THE DEALER. APPOINTMENT IS IN TWO DYES FROM NOW. I SURELY HOPE I AM NOT TOLD THIS IS NORMAL AS NO ENGINE THIS NEW SHOULD BURN OIL AT THIS RATE; FORTUNATELY I AM STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER AND POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL HARDER SOMETIMES SOLVES PROBLEM, SOMETIMES NOT. CHANGED BATTERIES IN KEY FOBS. REPLACED CAR BATTERY. STILL INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. CAN HEAR "CLICK", DASH LIGHTS-UP BUT ENGINE DOES NOT ENGAGE. REPEATED ATTEMPTS UNTIL ENGINE STARTS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING BETWEEN 48K AND NOW 50K MILES.

MY ACCORD HESITATES WHEN PUT TO D FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM STOP, LOW RPM OR ZERO SPORADICALLY EVEN WHILE LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY. IT USUALLY HAPPENS FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE TO DRIVE. IT HAS STALLED WHILE LEAVING A STOP SIGN OR AN INTERSECTION ON THE STREET, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IS A HONDA ISSUE AND TO BASICALLY LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN HAVE THIS ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2015.

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.

EPS LIGHT CAME ON. LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. HARD TO STEER THE VEHICLE. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED BACK ON COUPLE TIMES WAITED A FEW MINUTES IN BETWEEN. WARNING LIGHT WAS GONE AND GOT POWER BACK.

CAR WILL NOT START IN THE MORNINGS: WITHIN A MONTHS 3 TIMES. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CONSTANTLY LIGHTING UP. BACK AND BUTT PAIN INCLUDING LEGS FALLING ASLEEP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, A FUEL ODOR WAS NOTICED. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK LINE WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V297000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,829.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAPPENED TO ME RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2013 ,LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT.I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR FOR MY LIFE.I WAS DRIVING IN PENNSYLVANIA ON RT 33 SOUTH TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED.I HAD TO LEAN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH ALL MY BODY WEIGHT TO TRY TO GET IT TO TURN BUT IT WAS LOCKED .I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF.AFTER A FEW MINUTES I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL,I WAS LUCKY THAT PART OF THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING ON WAS STRAIGHT AND CURVE OR MOUNTAIN SECTION LIKE MOST OF PENNSYLVANIA.I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAINST AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY.PLEASE INVESTIGATE MY VEHICLE AND WORK WITH HONDA TO GET THIS FIXED SO NO ONE HAS TO DIE. IT MORE THAN THIS ,I BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO,SUNROOF,KIEYS ALARM GO ON WENT I WAS DRIVING .

EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS REPORTED IN NHTSA REFERENCE #10055834 TSB REFERENCE #IN-4-18-2014 HONDA: SOME VEHICLES, WITH THE COMPLAINT OF A REAR WHEEL BEARING NOISE, ARE BEING INVESTIGATED NOISE CAN BE COMPARED TO A GROWLING, HUMMING GROANING, WHIRRING, OR ROARING. *JS

SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2013, THIS CAR HESITATES AFTER STOPPING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WITH THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT FOR A LEFT TURN. THE CAR SHUTTERS AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN- VERY DANGERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT ON A DIVIDED STREET OR HIGHWAY WITHOUT A SIGNAL LIGHT.

SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2013, THE RADIO SOMETIMES WILL NOT GET A LOT OF STATIC AND FUZZ. TO CLEAR UP THE STATIC, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF THEN RESTART THE CAR AND RADIO PLAYS CLEARLY. I LEARNED THIS TECHNIQUE FROM A HONDA FORUM

SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2013 THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD ROARING SOUND WHEN APPLIED AT HIGH SPEEDS ( 55- 70) MPH. THE FASTER THAT YOU'RE DRIVING WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE LOUDER THE ROAR. ROAR HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT BRAKES ARE APPLIED.

10/27/2015 SUDDENLY LOST STEERING ABILITY WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING UNDER 15 MPH. THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET. STEERING BECAME STIFF AND ALMOST UNMOVABLE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED. STEERING FUNCTIONING AGAIN. 10/28/2015 RECEIVED IN THE MAIL FROM HONDA A PRODUCT UDATE CONCERNING THE EPS TORQUE SENSOR(DTC53-1 OR 53-2).I WILL UPLOAD THE HONDA.THIS ACCORD HAS LESS THAN 20000 MILES ON IT. I AM BRING THE CAR TO A DEALER TOMORROW. GREATLY CONCERNED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WILL NOT BE A BENEFIT IF THE STEERING FAILS AGAIN. PRODUCT UDATE FROM HONDA THIS WEEK

CAR HAD INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. TURNED THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES AND JUST HEARD CLICKS. ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK. WOULD NOT START WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS AND HAD TO PUSH IT TO A NEARBY GARAGE. THEY REPLACED THE STARTER AND IT NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN. CAR HAD JUST PASSED 36K AND AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT REIMBURSE FOR THE WORK DONE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A HONDA DEALERSHIP, BUT IT WAS OEM STARTER. BAD STARTERS ON THESE CARS. HONDA SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AS THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW THE AVERAGE LIFE OF A STARTER. UNACCEPTABLE...

MY POWER STEERING FAILED TWICE IN ONE DAY. WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. EACH TIME IT WAS FROM A STATIONARY POSITION ON A CITY STREET TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK. I AM LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY.

AFTER MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH CVT TRANSMISSION SITS FOR AWHILE (1- 2 DAYS) WITHOUT BEING MOVED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS IN REVERSE OR NEUTRAL. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THE CAR WILL MOVE, BUT VERY SLOWLY ALTHOUGH THE RPMS ARE HIGH. THE CAR IS FINE AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE. MY CAR NOW HAS 45,000 MILES BUT IT HAS HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE 30,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID "IT IS AT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." I ALSO CALLED THE HONDA HOTLINE, BUT THEY COULD OR WOULD NOT HELP. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. MY TOWN ONLY HAS ONE DEALERSHIP; SO, I GUESS I'M OUT OF LUCK. DON'T BUY A HONDA WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION.

ON 10/09/2015 THE EPS SYSTEM INDICATOR CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN WHILE RE-PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A DRIVEWAY. ON 10/10/2015 THE EPS SYSTEM INDICATOR CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN WHILE PULLING UP TO A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW. ON 10/12/2015 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. ON 10/15/2015 REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE. INVOICE STATES: CST: CUSTOMER STATES CHECK ESP LIGHT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON, AND STIFF STEERING INTERMITTENTLY CAUSED BY 53601-T2G-A02 DTCS 53-01, 53-02. VERIFIED STIFF STEERING. CORRECTED BY (5Z200) (JT600)

I PURCHASED A NEW 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT (CVT) IN 2013. AS OF OCTOBER 6, 2015, THE CAR IS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 37,447 MILES. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK AND ALL I HEAR ARE CLICKS. IT TAKES 3-5 IGNITION ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. SOMETIMES IT WILL START ON THE FIRST TRY. FURTHERMORE, SOMETIMES I LEAVE IT ALONE FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO WITH THE KEY OUT AND THEN IT WILL START. ONCE IT STARTS, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE FINE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TEST THE BATTERY AND THE RESULT WAS A GOOD BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE AND WILL NOT GIVE A GOODWILL WARRANTY TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THIS STARTUP PROBLEM. THEY SAID I WOUD HAVE TO PAY IF NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

I AM DRIVING BETWEEN 20-30 MPH. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES AND IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER STEERING. I AM A BIG GUY AND I HAVE TO USE A LOT OF STRENGTH TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART CAR. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED 3X TIME IN THE LAST MONTH

THE DESIGN OF THE DRIVERS SEAT CAUSES SEVER BACK PAIN

HONDA HAS NOTIFIED OF AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR DEFECT WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THEY PROVIDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH ONLY RETAINS PARTIAL STEERING CONTROL AND THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL BE DISABLED, I WOULD BE STRANDED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED. I HAVE REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT MY HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE SAFETY DEFECT BUT ARE ONLY WILLING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IF THERE IS A FAILURE. AFTER DISCUSSIONS, THEY OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE COST (APPROX. $500) BUT I CAN'T AFFORD $500. I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE IN CORRECTING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

STEERING WHEEL IS STIFFER TO THE RIGHT THAN TO THE LEFT. I NEED EXTRA EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

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.

CANNOT STEER WHEN TURNING AND WHEN TURNING THE WHEELS KEEP TURNING, CANNOT GET THE SPEED UP NORMALLY HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS HARD FOR CAR TO ACCELERATE.
