2013 Honda Accord Complaint Log

MY VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME FROM BEHIND. AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON YET DID NOT DEPLOY. IMPACT CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY CHEST BY THE SEATBELT. IT CAUSED A TISSUE EXPANDER IMPLANTED IN MY RIGHT BREAST TO BE DAMAGED AND RIPPED OUT THE PLACES STITCHED TO ME. THE TE WAS THERE AS PART OF A BREAST CANCER RECONSTRUCTION PROCESS. SURGERY WAS REQUIRED TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE TE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, SENSORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AND SEATBELT STRUCTURE ALSO NEEDED REPLACEMENT.

THE DRIVER WAS TURNING LEFT INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND HE COULD NOT TURN. THE VEHICLE WENT OVER THE CURVE AND CRASHED INTO A FIRE HYDRANT. IT PUSHED THE CAR UP IN THE AIR AND BACK DOWN HARD. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

INITIALLY CAR DROVE FINE AND I DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS. OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS I STARTED EXPERIENCING HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDSTILL POSITION I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BOARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD MOVE. THE HESITATION MAY LAST APPROX 5 TO 8 SECONDS & THEN JERKINGLY THE CAR WOULD GET INTO PROPER GEAR TO MOVE FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED A KIT ON IT A LEAST TWICE WHICH INITIALLY SEEMED TO HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. ON JUNE 14TH, JUST BEFORE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING AT ABOUT 40MPH & CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN A QUICK FORWARD JERKING MOTION & NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH. WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED THE JERKING MOTION WOULD DECLINE AS SPEED DECLINED. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR WE WENT OUT ON THE ROAD BUT THE PROBLEM NEVER MANIFESTED ITSELF. THEY'VE KEPT THE CAR TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT?S GOING ON. MEANWHILE I AM CAR-LESS. THE CAR IS NO OLDER THAN 16 MONTHS AND I'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY SINCE APRIL AND THEY KEEP SAYING, IT'S NORMAL OR NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN THEY DRIVE OR HOOK IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTERS OR WE CAN'T DIAGNOSE OR FIX A PROBLEM THAT ISN'T HAPPENING WHEN WE DRIVE THE CAR. THE SUPERVISOR FURTHER STATED THAT EVEN IF SOMEONE FROM HONDA HEADQUARTERS CAME THEY WOULD SAY THE SAME THING IF NOTHING HAPPENED AND WOULD GIVE THE KEY BACK TO THEM BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIX A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T MANIFEST. I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HONDA NEED TO FIX IT. HONDA KNOWS THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WITH THE INSERTION OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THEIR 2013 ACCORD. WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO FIX IT? THIS IS MY VERY FIRST HONDA EXPERIENCE AND I'M TOTALLY DISSATISFIED. *TR

SUN VISOR ON PASSENGER SIDE KEEPS GOING DOWN BLOCKING VIEW, THAT HAPPENED 3 WEEKS AGO AND LAST THURSDAY THE ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BEGAN TO ACT THE SAME WAY... BLOCKING DRIVERS VISION, I AM 6-02 AND REALLY GETS REAL HAZARD WHEN A BUMPY ROAD IS AHEAD OR WHILE DRIVING ENVIER 35 MILES PER HOUR.... *J'S

WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN MY PARKING SPOT, I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, WITH ENGINE SURGE /LOUD NOISE AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES...... CAR PLOWED OVER PARKING SPOT BARRIER, INTO SHRUBS, BALCONY BEAM AND NEIGHBOR'S SCREENED PATIO. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE , SHRUBS, NEIGHBOR'S PATIO AND MY BALCONY. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EVENT. INVESTIGATIONS BY INSURANCE CO AND MECHANIC ARE PENDING AT THIS TIME. *TR

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

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSIONS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, RIGHT FROM THE START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE TRANSMISSION HAD A BAD SHUDDER AT TIMES, AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHERE THERE WAS NO ENGAGEMENT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND INSTALLED A KIT IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH ONLY SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. IT ALSO CREATED A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION AS A SEAL WASN'T PROPERLY INSTALLED. A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE SHUDDER AND STALLED WERE NORMAL. HOWEVER, THE DEALER RODE WITH THE CONSUMER, AND STATED PERHAPS, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER GETTING NO SATISFACTION FROM ANYONE, THE CONSUMER TRADED THE VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 10, 2014. *JB

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2013 SINCE PURCHASE. BROUGHT IT IN TO MIKE SMITH HONDA ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS FOR PROBLEMS SUCH, AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES, THE BRAKES SOMETHING IS WRONG (MAKES A NOISE) CAR HAS A SUCTION TO IT,BARELY ACCELERATES WHEN LEAVING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, ONE TIME IT ACCELERATED TO MUCH AND I LIKE TO HIT THE WALL OF MY GARAGE. FCW LIGHTS SOMES ON SOME TIME FOR NOTHING,, NOISE FROM BEHIND AND UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING UP AND ABOUT TO PUT IN PARK. AND SOME TIMES WHEN BACKING UP. THE FCW DEFAULTS. OVERALL THIS IS NOT A GOOD RUNNING OR PERFORMANCE CAR. EVERYTIME YOU BRING IT TO THE SHOP THE SERVICEMEN SAID I SORRY BUT THAT IS NORMAL WHEN THEY CAN NOT FIX OR KNOW HOW TO FIX SOMETHING IT IS EASY FOR THEM TO SAY I SORRY THAT IS NORMAL OR YOU GOT TO BRING IT TO THE SHOP WHEN IT IS ACTING UP AT THE TIME. I TOLD THEM THAT IS HARD TO DO IT MAY NOT BE DOING IT WHEN IT IS THERE AT THAT TIME. BUT I THOUGHT THAT WHAT THE MACHINES WERE FOR TO FIND THE PROBLEMS. THE APPEARANCE IS GOOD BUT THE PERFORMANCE IS BAD. HAD THE CAR SEAL FOR BUGS PAID OVER 700.00 THEY DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB OR DID NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE PAID FOR AT ALL. BUGS ARE HARD TO COME OFF OF THE VEHICLE.MAY BE OTHER PROBLEMS BUT THIS IS A FEW THAT COMES TO MIND AT THIS TIME. THE BIGGEST THING IS THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATION AND SUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SEAT CAUSES NECK AND BACK ISSUES. NO ADJUSTMENT SEEMS TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. TRY ADDING SEAT AND BACK CUSHION WITH NO RELIEF. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RESOLUTION OFFERED BY HONDA. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TWO MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, THE NAVI WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE. THE NAVI WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, MARCH 3RD, THE BACK-UP CAMERA WENT DARK ON THE SCREEN; AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WORKED AGAIN. MAR 8-10TH, I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEMS. MAR 11TH, I WORKED FROM HOME; THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVED DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. THE VEHICLE KEYS REMAINED ON THE KITCHEN TABLE. TUESDAY, MAR 11TH, AT 3:00A.M. (SPOUSE MOVED HIS VEHICLE TO THE STREET) THE VEHICLE WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED. I REITERATE, THE KEYS WERE ON THE TABLE AND THE WINDOWS TO THE VEHICLE WERE ALL CLOSED. MAR 12TH, 7:00, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I NOTICED FIRST THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY ROLLED DOWN AND RAIN HAD POURED IN. WHEN I OPENED THE CAR DOOR, I WAS AMAZED TO SEE THAT ALL OF THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN AND THE SUN ROOF COMPLETELY OPEN. I'VE NEVER EVEN OPENED ALL THE WINDOWS AT THE SAME TIME SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR, ALL THE SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AND FDS FAILED WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR. I CALLED HONDA, INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS LATER INFORMED BY THE SERVICE ASSISTANT THAT BOTH BOXES (I'M GUESSING ELECTRICAL BOXES) HAD A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THEM, SHORTING OUT THE SYSTEM. HONDA IS SEEMINGLY COMFORTABLE WITH SHIFTING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, E.G., THAT I PROBABLY...LEFT THE WINDOWS OPEN, PRESSED ALL THREE BUTTONS ON THE AUTOMATIC KEY (DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD DO THIS) OR MAYBE HAD THE KEYS IN MY PURSE AND SOMETHING PUSHED ALL THREE BUTTONS SIMULTANEOUSLY. IN SHORT, THE WINDOW AS WELL AS WHO KNOWS OTHER PARTS WERE AFFECTED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE CAR IN GEAR, TURN THE CAR OFF AND START TO LEAVE THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED ROLLING DOWNHILL. I HAVE DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES WHEN EXITING THE CAR QUICKLY. THE CAR DOES GIVE A SLIGHT BEEP, BUT NOT ENOUGH NOTIFICATION FOR ME TO REALIZE THAT I AM NOT IN PARK. OUR PREVIOUS CAR HAD A KEY AND IF I FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK, THE CAR COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF LETTING ME KNOW RIGHT AWAY WHAT I HAD DONE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS CERTAINLY HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A MAJOR FLAW TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEMS. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN A CORNER, OR SLOW DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING AT A SLOW SPEED FROM APPROX. 15 MPH TO 25 MPH, THE CAR APPEARS TO STALL. AS IF THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED. WHEN I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENS. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THEN PUSH DOWN AGAIN, THE CAR SURGES AHEAD. I HAVE CALLED THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECH ALWAYS SAYS THAT THEY CHECKED IT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I AM AFRAID THAT ON ONE OF THOSE TIMES THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER THAT I WILL BE TAILGATED IF THERE IS SOMEONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. I AM ALSO AFRAID THAT ONE OF THE TIMES I AGAIN PUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL THAT THE CAR MAY SURGE AHEAD TOO FAST AND I MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SANE EXPERIENCE. *TR

THERE'S A LOT OF VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO THERE IS A LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, YOU CAN HEAR THE WIND LIKE IT'S NOT COMPLETELY SEALED.

IN GENERAL I LIKE MY ACCORD 2013; HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING HESITATION AND/OR ABRUPT DOWNSHIFT OF GEAR WHEN I DRIVE BELOW 25 MILES. I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS ISSUE, FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. SHAME ON HONDA FOR NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE. I JUST RECOMMENDED TWO OF MY RELATIVES TO BUY TOYOTA, THEY ARE QUICK AT RECALL. *TR

DURING A SNOW STORM IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, WHILE I WAS IN MY HOUSE, MY CAR WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED DOWN, COVERING THE SEATS, SEAT BELTS AND CAR SEATS WITH SNOW. DUE TO A FEATURE OF THE CAR DOCUMENTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ON PAGES 128-129, IF THE LOCK BUTTON IS COMPRESSED TWICE WITHIN 10 SECONDS, AND HELD DOWN (E.G., IN A BRIEFCASE OR PURSE WHEN SOMETHING HEAVY LANDS ON IT), THE WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN. THIS WORKS WELL ENOUGH TO TRANSMIT FROM INSIDE A HOUSE TO A DRIVEWAY. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ALL LOCKED UP, BUT IT WAS NOT. GOOGLING "HONDA WINDOWS ROLL DOWN" LED ME TO A LITANY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING, IN SNOW STORMS, RAIN STORMS, ETC. APPARENTLY THE FEATURE IS FOR HOT CLIMATES (TEXAS, CALIFORNIA--OR OHIO IN THE SUMMER), BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF. GIVEN HOW DAMAGING THIS CAN BE TO A CAR, IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A FEATURE ONE COULD TURN OFF. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME SHE HAD A CALL FROM A WOMAN THE WEEK BEFORE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE EASIER TO KEEP A CAR INTERIOR PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS. HONDA INDICATED THEY HAVE NO PLANS TO ADDRESS THIS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

BROUGHT THE CAR IN COUPLE MONTHS AGO BECAUSE OF VIBRATING PROBLEM. DEALER CHECK AND SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT NORMAL AS I KNOW MY CAR. NOW, WITH THE ROUTINES CHECK I NOTED THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING BETWEEN CYLINDER HEAD AND CYLINDER BLOCK WHERE THE ENGINE GASKET IS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT CAUSES SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN AND ALSO NECK PAIN IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. TRIED MULTIPLE SEAT ADJUSTMENTS WITHOUT SUCCESS. VERY DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE I WAS DISTRACTED WITH PREOCCUPATION WITH THE SEAT ISSUE. ALSO MY WIFE COMPLAINS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST CAUSES HERE SEVERE NECK PAIN AND STRAIN. *TR

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

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 CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD (OVERNIGHT OR DURING THE DAY WHILE AT WORK) THE CVT TRANSMISSION INITIALLY DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE TACHOMETER SHOWS INCREASED ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVES. AFTER ~ 30 SECONDS TRANSMISSION STARTS TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY (~ 3 - 4 TIMES PER MONTH). DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM (NOT SURPRISING GIVEN FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE) AND CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION AND WHETHER THIS PROBLEM WILL MANIFEST ITSELF IN A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JS

VEHICLE DOES NOT START EASILY. 3-5 IGNITION ATTEMPTS ARE NEEDED TO START IT EVERY TIME. HOWEVER, ONCE IT STARTS EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE. THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND FOUND TO BE FINE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT COLD RELATED AS IT OCCURS EVEN AT 40 F. *TR

WHEN YOU COME TO A ROLLING STOP THEN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE IT WILL ACCELERATE. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAYS THIS IS COMMON IN ALL 2013 ACCORDS. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. *TT

AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR SIGN, ACCELERATING FROM THE STOP RESULTS IN A SUDDEN JOLT (JERK) FORWARD. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN OR IT'S YOUR TURN TO GO, SLOWLY PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE. INSTINCTIVELY YOU PRESS A LITTLE MORE. AS THIS IS OCCURRING, THE RPM WILL STEADILY INCREASE, BUT AGAIN NO FORWARD MOVEMENT OCCURS. AT SOME POINT, TYPICALLY AROUND 2500-3000 RPM'S, THE TRANSMISSION GRABS (KICKS-IN) AND SUDDENLY HURLS YOU FORWARD. THE JOLT CAN BE SO SEVERE THAT YOU TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I OWNED THE CAR 8 MONTHS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING. NOW IT OCCURS ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. THE HONDA DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL - IT IS UNSAFE. *TR

AS MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, I LOST ALMOST ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE, AND IT BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY TIRE WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED HAD A CAR BEEN FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND. ONCE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, A BURNING ODOR COULD BE SMELLED BY ALL 4 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TIRES. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS WHICH ARE PENDING. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE NEW "CVT" TRANSMISSION, AND I SUSPECT THIS MAY BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SURE. *TR

AS A RESULT OF MY CAR HAVING TO BRAKE SO HARD AND SUDDEN TO STOP A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS EXPLODED ALSO BRAKING THE SEAT BELTS WITHOUT THERE BEING AN ACTUAL IMPACT. THE POLICE ARRIVED, BOTH THE SHERIFF AN A LOCAL OFFICER. THEY TESTIFIED AS THERE BEING NO IMPACT AND THAT IT WAS A FACTORY MISTAKE AND SAID AN ACCIDENT REPORT WAS USELESS ALSO TO CALL HONDA AND STATE OUR PROBLEM. WE DID SO AND HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. WHEN THE INSURANCE GOT INVOLVED THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A ACCIDENT AND REFUSED TO PAY. I UNDERSTAND IS DIFFICULT FOR HONDA TO ACCEPT AN ERROR IN ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES; BUT IT ALSO HAS TO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT I SHOULDN'T PAY FOR AN ERROR THAT I DIDN'T COMMIT. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7000.

THE STEERING INDICATOR ON DASH FEZZES, DASH LIGHTS TURN OFF WILE DRIVING (DAY OR NIGHT). TAKEN TO DEALER TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED THEY KEEP OVER NIGHT CALL, ESTATE THE PROBLEM HAS BEAN CORRECTED, THIS IS NOT TRUE. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING TO DAT" OUR 2013 HONDA ACCORD IS BACK IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS / ISSUES. NEED TO GET HELP FOR THIS ON GOING PROBLEM OR REPLACE THE CAR. THIS HAS BEAN ON GOING AND BROUGHT TO THE ROCK HONDA SERVICE RIGHTER ATTENTION, TO UP TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ATTENTION, EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY ALL HAVE SEEN WHAT I WAS TALKING A BOUGHT. AL I AM ASKING FOR IS HELP WITH THIS. I HAVE A LOT OF SERVICE PAPER WORK BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS THE SAME. ROCK HONDA FONTANA CA. NOTE:HOPPING THIS PICTURE HELPS, CANT DRIVE THIS CARE AND FIELD SAFE NOT NO-ING IF THE MOTORS GOING TO SHUT DOWN OR DRIVING AT NIGHT LIGHTS ARE GOING TO TURN OFF / OUT. *TT *JS

OIL LAMP INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING AND HEARD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND BASICALLY THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL ABOUT 2 QUARTS ARE BURNING AROUND 3000 MILES AND OIL LAP INDICATES OIL CHANGE IS NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER 70 PERCENT. I DID THE TEST MANY TIME AND THEY ARE BUYING TIME. IF I DON'T CHECK OIL AND KEEP DRIVING THEN THE ENGINE WILL BURST. THE DEALER WONT HELP ME ITS A MANUFACTURE DEFAULT VEHICLE AND THEY KEEP SAYS ITS NORMAL. ITS NOT NORMAL FOR OIL LAP LIGHT TO COME ON A BRAND NEW CAR AND THE OIL CHANGE WAS NOT EVEN DUE. ITS A LEMON AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND TRAVELED THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL YARD. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER SYSTEM FAILED TO CLEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH INTERFERED WITH THE WIPERS BLOCKING THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000. UPDATED 3/5/14*CN THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, THE DRAINAGE WOULD FREEZE.

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.

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION DEFECT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION, WHICH CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. SPECIFICALLY, IN SOME LOW SPEEDS SITUATIONS, THE VEHICLE LACKED IMMEDIATE RESPONSIVENESS NEEDED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A TIGHT AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE SITUATION. THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. THEREFORE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY FIX AND ONLY DESCRIBED IT AS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. *JB

AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. IT HAPPENS IN BOTH REVERSE AND DRIVE. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE REVS REALLY HIGH (4,000 TO 5,000 RPM) BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVES AT ALL. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 20 - 30 SECONDS EVEN AFTER SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS PRETTY RANDOM (I.E. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME), BUT I HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. IF THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN ANGLE SUCH AS THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE SUCH AS IN SLOPED PARKING LOT, OR THE FRONT HIGHER THAN THE BACK ON AN INCLINE LIKE MY DRIVEWAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS SAFETY RELATED BECAUSE WITH THE ENGINE AT A VERY HIGH RPM IF THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY "KICKS IN" IT WOULD CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION - IMAGE A CAR UNEXPECTEDLY LUNGING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

LOW VOLUME...CLICKING/RUBBING NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS. HONDA KNOWS OF PROBLEM.. SAID THERE IS NO FIX AND IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS CAR. THEIR WORDS NOT MINE .... SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

DRIVER WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. STEERING JERKED TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE LANE NEXT TO THE DRIVER, AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. AFTER FIRST AND SECOND INCIDENT, HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN BURLESON, TX STILL SAY THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HONDA OF BURLESON IS STILL IN POSSESSION OF THIS VEHICLE. THEIR ADVICE TO US WAS TO TRADE IT IN AND THEY WOULD SELL IT AT AUCTION. WE FOUND THAT TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING THIS CAR, AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, SHE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO TO A HANDICAP SIGN AND PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO A TREE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE BODY REPAIRS WERE SCHEDULED TO BE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT AN ENGINEER WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50. UPDATED 2/18/14*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 4 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250. UPDATED 1/7/15*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE'S HESISTATION HAD OCCURED SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE AND CONTINUED. UPDATED 06/3/2015 *JS

AT 11:00 A.M. ON NOV.6 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD. I PULLED INTO A STORE PARKING AREA AT ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TURNED TO ENTER THE PARKING SPACE WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HEARD THE CAR REV-UP AND PUSHED ON THE BRAKE MORE. THE REVVING STOPPED, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY. THE CAR MOVED OVER THE PARKING BARRIER AND HEADED FOR THE STORE WALL. IT BROKE THROUGH THE STORE WALL AND I PUSHED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND PUSHED THE BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE CAR STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. I WAS NOT HURT AND LEFT THE CAR TO LET THE OWNER OF THE STORE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. MY CAR HAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, MY FCW AND LDW LIGHTS CAME ON AND SYSTEM FAILURE WAS FLASHING IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SPEEDOMETER. PULLED OVER TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON, WARNING LIGHTS STILL FLASHING. DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED (IT WAS A SUNDAY EVENING). THE NEXT DAY, STARTED THE CAR AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER FLASHING. ON TUESDAY, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AS I AM DRIVING, FOLLOWED BY THE FCW AND LDW LIGHTS AND SYSTEM FAILURE WAS FLASHING AGAIN. CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME ALL OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO LOW TIRE PRESSURE. BUT, I HAD JUST HAD MY TIRES ROTATED AT THAT DEALERSHIP THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE EXIT 9 HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. *TRUPDATED 06/03/14 *BF ON 9/30/13, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED (TECHNICALLY THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING, OR EPS, MALFUNCTIONED AND STOPPED WORKING) ON A HIGHWAY AS I WAS CHANGING LANES AT HIGH SPEED (AND THE STEERING SYSTEM PROCEEDED TO MOVE THE CAR IN THE DIRECTION OF THE HIGHWAY MEDIAN) AND I HAD TO FORCE THE WHEEL AS STRONGLY AS I COULD TO TURN IT BACK ONTO THE ROAD- ALL LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR BRAND NEW. 10/30/13, THE EPS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON A SHARPLY BENDING ON-RAMP TO A HIGHWAY AND VEERED THE CAR INTO THE MEDIAN ON THE RAMP.UPDATED 9/15/2014 BY SC THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM INDICATOR APPEARED AFTER THE STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE WARNING APPEARED ON 10/30/2013. THE VEHICLE FIRST FAILED ON 9/30/2013 THEN AGAIN ON 10/30/2013. THE POWER STEERING WAS REPAIRED AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE. THE STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 06/09/2014 *JS

THIS CAR HAS THE V6 ENGINE IN IT. I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE CAR HAD 6500 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AND SAID THEIR EXPERTS IN CALIFORNIA COULD NOT SEE IT ON THE COMPUTER DATA COLLECTED. OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MONTHS, I HAD IT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND FINALLY THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE ISSUE GOT CONSIDERABLE WORSE AFTER THAT. I BROUGHT IT BACK SEVERAL MORE TIMES, A TOTAL OF OVER 30 DAYS IN THEIR SHOP, AND THEY NOW SAY THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE CAR. THEY SAY THE VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM) SYSTEM IS PULSING AT 50 HZ TO SAVE FUEL AND THIS PULSING CAUSES A RESONANCE THAT I AM FEELING AND HEARING. THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THEM. THE VIBRATION AND NOISE NOW OCCURS AT ANY SPEED FROM 15 TO 60 MPH. IN MY EXPERIENCE, ANY MECHANICAL SYSTEM THAT HITS A RESONATE FREQUENCY EVENTUALLY FAILS. THE DEALER'S ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS THE WORST HE HAS EVER FELT OR HEARD BUT HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS THE CALIFORNIA BOYS APPROVE IT. HE SAID IF HE UNPLUGS THE VCM THE NOISE AND VIBRATION GO AWAY. THEY TOLD ME IF I PAID THEM $6500 THEY WOULD GIVE ME A NEW CAR. ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

TURNING A CORNER (RIGHT OR LEFT) AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE WILL STALL. AFTER THIS THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGES FORWARD. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND PRESENTS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 10MPH, I PRESSED THE ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH AND IT SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN COMPLETELY. AFTER APPLYING MY BRAKES AND COMING TO A FULL STOP, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO PARK AND IT STARTED AUTOMATICALLY BACK UP. THIS EVENT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY HONDA AND A SAFETY INTERFACE DESIGNED AND INSTALLED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEEDS POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SERIOUS AND DEADLY ACCIDENT ASAP. THE ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES AWAY FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING TEMPERATURE CONTROL UP AND DOWN BUTTON SWITCHES. THE DEPRESSION OF THE START/STOP SWITCH COULD OCCUR WHILE DRIVING ATTEMPTING TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING.

Hoping to take care of the starter grinding on startup for my 2013 Honda Accord V6… It’s a known issue with the 2013-2017 Accord V6 redesigned starter (starter part number 31200-5G0-A02). Honda's fix (TSB 16-002) is yet another redesigned starter (redesign of the redesigned starter part number 31200-5G0-A04 ), plus a one time only one hole rotation of the flywheel. In the TSB 16-002 it states: If replacing the starter with the redesigned starter and rotating the flywheel doesn't work, then the next course of action is to replace the torque converter (which is not cheap and who knows if it’s a good fix…REALLY). I had the starter and engine battery replaced before on this car at a Honda dealership to correct the problem. Needless to say, it did not correct the screeching noises upon pushing the start engine button. The safety of the driver and the occupants will be in peril when being stuck in hazardous weather (storms, heat alert indexes, snow, freezing weather) without the ability to start the car. This is a design flaw that Honda clearly knows about with no solution in sight. I already had this repaired before at a Honda dealership, but it never corrected the problem. Honda needs to initiate a recall since it knows it’s a massive problem by issuing a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 16-002).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEEL SEIZED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

ON OCTOBER 9 2013 I HAD GOTTEN UP TO GO TO WORK, AS I GOT UP TO GO TO WORK THAT MORNING I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT. DID NOT MOVE UP WARD. I STARTED TO DRIVE TO WORK BUT I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY SEATING POSITION. SO AS I WENT TO READJUST THE SEAT THE WHO SEAT SLAMMED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. AND I FELT LIKE A LOWER WHIPLASH TO MY LOWER BACK AND SPINE. THE SEAT FELL BACK AS I WAS DRIVING AND ADJUSTING THE SEAT I ALSO TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC AND PERSON NEXT TO ME. I REGAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR BUT NOW I WAS SITTING ON THE LOWEST LEVEL OF THE SEATS POSITION. I PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY LOWER BACK WAS HURTING AND LOOKED AT THE SEAT. NOTHING HAD BEEN TAMPERED OR TOUCHED. I THEN MANUALLY PUT THE SEAT BACK INTO ITS UPPER POSITION SINCE IT NOW NO LONGER COULD ADJUST WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL. FORWARD, AND BACK AND DOWN YOU COULD STILL MOVE BUT UPWARD NO MORE. AGAIN GOT BACK IN MY CAR ONLY NOW TO JUST MOVE FORWARD A FEW MPH THE SEAT AGAIN FELL BACK DUE TO THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR AND GRAVITY. I TOOK THIS TO THE HONDA BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE TO SHOCKLEY HONDA ONLY FOR THEM TO SAY THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $120 TO JUST LOOK AT THE ISSUE. AND THEN TO TELL ME IT WILL TAKE $1200 TO FIX IT! SO SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN ONLY PROFIT. I SINCE HAVE TO PUT A BOX UNDER THE SEAT TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING BACK AND FROM HURTING MY BACK FURTHER MORE. BUT TIME TO TIME THE BOX MOVED AND THE SEAT CONTINUES TO SLIDE BACK AND FURTHER INJURY TO MY BACK OR IF NOT ADDRESS COULD CAUSE FURTHER INJURY TO OTHERS DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS STILL A CAR TO GET ME TO WORK. *TR

LTR RE A SIMILAR VERSION OF A PETITION TO REVIEW THE SAFETY OF THE SEATS USED IN 2012 AND 2013 HONDA ACCORDS- THE HEAD REST AND OTHER SEAT ELEMENTS CAUSE DRIVER DISTRACTION/IMPAIRMENT (ATTACHMENT NOT IMAGED FWD TO NVS-200) *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEAD REST RESTRAINT CAUSED DISCOMFORT AND WAS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THE DRIVER'S SEAT PUT THE CONSUMER IN AN AWKWARD POSITION AND IMPOSED A LONG DURATION STATIC LOAD ON HIS NECK AND UPPER SPINE. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS DISTRACTED BY THE PUSH OF THE HEAD REST, WHICH WAS TOO FAR FORWARD. IT PUSHED HIS HEAD FORWARD FROM A NEUTRAL POSITION BY AT LEAST ONE-HALF INCH. THE UPPER SEAT WAS VERY CONCAVE AND CAUSED TENSION TO HIS UPPER SPINE. FINALLY, THE SHAPE OF THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT BACK FORCED HIM INTO A SLUMPED POSITION WHICH CAUSE LOWER BACK PAIN. WHEN THE LAST REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AT THE DEALER, THEY REVERSED THE HEAD RESTRAINT, WHICH APPARENTLY, WAS COMMON AND UNSAFE, A PRACTICE DEALERS USED TO RESOLVE OWNER COMPLAINTS.

WHEN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THEY DO NOT SHINE HIGHER THAN 3-4 FEET HIGH. IF A PERSON IS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CAR YOU COULD NOT SEE ABOVE THEIR WAIST. I THINK IT A *TR

I AM FINDING THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TO BE UNBEARABLE. I AM 5' 10" AND 160 LBS, AND DRIVE 20 MILES TO WORK, WHICH TAKES AN AVERAGE 35 MINUTES. AS MANY HAVE SAID, THE HEAD RESTS ARE PITCHED TOO FAR FORWARD, CAUSING NECK PAIN. I HAVE TRIED TURNING THE HEAD REST AROUND, BUT THIS ALLOWS TOO MUCH SPACE, AND IS MOST LIKELY VERY DANGEROUS, BUT I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO LUMBAR SUPPORT AT ALL, AND THE UPPER PART OF THE SEAT CURVES YOUR UPPER BODY FORWARD. THE RESULT IS THAT YOUR BODY IS CURVED INTO A C SHAPE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND PAINFUL. *TR
