2013 Honda Accord Complaint Log

AFTER STARTING THE CAR, THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING CAME ON AND SAID FAILURE. AT THE SAME TIME, ALL THE OTHER WARNINGS WERE ON( I.E. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, ENGINE WARNING, TIRE PRESSURE WARNING VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST WARNING ETC.) ALSO, THE ECON ASSIST WENT OFF. DID NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL WED. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER. AFTER INSPECTING THE COMPUTER READOUT, SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT TO THEM WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. SAID HE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE TROUBLE WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS OFF. THE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO COME ON AND THE FCW CONTINUES TO SHOW FAILURE, BUT ITS NOT A CONTINUING PROBLEM, ONLY INTERMITTENT ONE. VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TO THE DEALER AFTER HOURS OR ON SUNDAY, WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AS SHE PULLED INTO HER DRIVEWAY, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. SHE PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, AND SHE FORCED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. IT CAME TO A STOP, BUT NOT BEFORE SHE CRASHED INTO HER GARAGE DOOR. AMERICAN HONDA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT CONCLUDED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG.

SINCE DELIVERY DATE OF VEHICLE FROM DEALER MY VEHICLES NAVIGATION AND STEREO HAVE NOT WORKED. I BROUGHT IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, THEY REPLACED THE NAVIGATION AND STEREO AND THE PROBLEM STILL TO THIS DAY EXIST. WHEN THIS RADIO IS ON SOMETIMES IT FREEZES AND THE NAV UNIT STATES THE RADIO IS OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT JUST STAYS ON, VOLUME INCREASES ON ITS OWN, CANNOT USE TOUCH SCREEN, CANNOT CHANGE STATIONS AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GO ON AND OFF AND CAR SHUTS OFF. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IF IT GOES BACK TO WORKING THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO KEEP DRIVING IT AND BRING IT BACK. ON SEPT 21 I BROUGHT IT IN TO DEALER AND IT SHUT OFF AT DEALER 3X'S MAKING THEM JUMP START IT AND I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RECEIVED MY CAR WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WORKS. THEY SAID THE BATTERY AND COMPUTER TEST COME BACK OK BUT THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY IN HOPES THAT THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT IS 9/24/15 AND SAME THING HAPPENED THIS MORNING. BUT SINCE AFTER 3 HOURS OF TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON IT DID AND I CANT GO BACK TO BEING WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, HAVE TO WORK AND KNOW THE DEALER WILL SAY ITS WORKING AGAIN I HAVE TO JUST PRAY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN WHILE ON THE ROAD

AUTO ADJUSTING REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE. SENSOR IS INACCURATE AND DURING AMBIENT BRIGHT LIGHTS IN DARKNESS OR AT DAWN OR DUSK THE MIRROR WILL NOT ADJUST CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION FROM HEADLIGHTS OF FOLLOWING CARS THRU THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST OR OVERRIDE THIS CONDITION. AUTO DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRRORS SHOULD COME WITH A MANUAL OVERRIDE FUNCTION. I HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS WITH THE REAR VIEW POINTED AWAY FROM MY EYESIGHT IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING BLINDED. *TR

FRONT BRAKES MAKE A LOUD SCREETCHING NOISE AT ANY SPEED. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES. REPAIRED 5 TIMES ACCORDING TO HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM ONLY GETS WORSE. HONDA STATES THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CURRENTLY THERE IS NO REPAIR YET AVAILABLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY BRAKE PAD RETENTION SPRING AND THE BRAKE PADS ARE LOOSE. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED AN ACCORD 2013 EXL-V6 . THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING NORMAL ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN A BIT, SO I SLIGHTLY HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY COMPLETELY LOCKED AS IF TOO MUCH FORCE WAS APPLIED AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DID NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP BRAKING AND SEEMED LIKE IT WAS IT CONTROL AND NOT ME. *TR

WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING A NEW HONDA I EXPERIENCED A 2 TO 3 SECOND HESITATION PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON A GREEN LIGHT TURNING LEFT, SO I HAD TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 3 OR 4 MPH BUT TRIED TO ACCELERATE ONCE THE WAY WAS CLEAR ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO POWER! I THEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAD STALLED. JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO TRY AND RESTART THE CAR IT KICKED IN AND I SURGED AHEAD JUST SECONDS BEFORE BEING HIT HEAD ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER. THIS TIME THE ONCOMING CAR HAD TO GO AROUND ME OR WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED. MY CAR IS NOW CLOSE TO 7 MONTHS OLD AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND REPORTED IT TO HONDA OF AMERICA. MY CASE NUMBER IS #12013-04-1600114. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM MANY TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT'S AN INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCE AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RECREATE WHILE RIDING AROUND WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER IN THE CAR. I HAVE FOUND MANY INSTANCES ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET AS WELL AS FINDING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH IS PENDING IN CALIFORNIA, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY MUST SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FROM MY DESCRIPTION, ESPECIALLY SINCE OTHER DRIVERS ARE RELATING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR A TOTAL OF 34 DAYS WHILE IT SAT IN THE SHOP OF 2 DIFF. DEALERSHIPS WAITING FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX MY PROBLEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING EXCEPT TEST DRIVE IT AND THEN SAY "PROBLEM NOT FOUND". I FIND THAT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF TO ME ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME I DRIVE IT. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE SAFETY IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME, BUT THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE! PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

I HAVE NOTICE AFTER DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD ON OR AFTER A RAINY DAY OR IF THE ROADS ARE WET A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER SATURATION APPEARS INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE WATER SATURATION IS ON ALMOST ALL ENGINE PARTS. MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT THE MOISTURE WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRIC COMPONENT AND OTHER VITAL ENGINE PARTS. I HAVE OWNED HONDA(S) SINCE 1987 AND CAN ATTEST TO THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF MOISTURE UNDER ANY PREVIOUS HONDA(S) OWNED. I AM NOT SURE IF THERE'S A FIX IS IN THE WORKS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT I SEE MAJOR PROBLEMS IF A FIX IS NOT INSTITUTED NOW. THE SPEED AND FAILURE MILEAGE DATE ARE ESTIMATED WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED UNDER HOOD PROBLEM BY ME.

IN MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD THE NO KEY ICON APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD WHEN THE CAR IS ON THEN IT EVENTUALLY GOES OFF ALL WHILE THE KEY IS INSIDE OF THE CAR. NOW WHILE THE CAR IS ON THE WARNING BELL GOES OFF AND NO KEY IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH, YET AGAIN ALL OF THIS WHILE THE KEY IS INSIDE OF THE CAR.

TAKATA AIR BAG

MY WIFE HAD PLACED HER FOB IN HER PURSE & PLACED THE PURSE IN THE TRUNK. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR (WITH MY FOB IN MY POCKET), THE TRUNK OPENED. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT, CLOSED THE TRUNK & STARTED DRIVING. AGAIN THE TRUNK OPENED, I PULLED OVER, CLOSED THE TRUNK & BEGAN DRIVING. THE TRUNK AGAIN OPENED, I PULLED OVER & MY WIFE REALIZED THAT HER PURSE WAS IN THE TRUNK WITH THE FOB IN IT & THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM. SHE REMOVED HER PURSE, WE STARTED DRIVING & THE TRUNK STAYED CLOSED. WE DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE AT THE TIME BUT HAVE SINCE REALIZED THAT IF AN ITEM HAD FLOWN FROM THE TRUNK INTO THE PATH OF A FOLLOWING CAR, IT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE SPORADIC FAILURE OF THE RADIO TO OPERATE, COME ON IS SOME INSTANCES, OR TO DISPLAY PRESETS AND THE CD PLAYER NOT OPERATING ALL AT THE SAME TIME IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! THE DRIVER SEAT MEMORY SYSTEM NOT REVERTING WHEN RE-ENTERING VEHICLE AND STARTING, ALL POINT TO A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT HONDA WOULD DO GOOD TO LOOK INTO -- THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED RADIO MALFUNCTIONS AS WELL. THE PREVIOUS MODEL ACCORD I OWNED, 2011, HAD NO SUCH PROBLEM. WITH REGARDS TO ANOTHER OWNER COMPLAINT ON THE ENGINE'S MOMENTARY HESITATIONS UPON ACCELERATION, WAS ALSO EXPERIENCED. ALSO, COMPLAINED BY OTHER OWNER, WAS THE DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR: THE 1/4 END WILL CAUSE YOU TO IMMEDIATELY ADJUST TO RIGHT IN ANTICIPATION OF CAR COMING INTO YOU. THIS POTENTIAL CORRECTION ACCIDENT CAN BE AVOIDED BY ANOTHER LEFT SIDE BLIND SPOT DEVICE OR MIRROR REPLACEMENT ALTOGETHER: I AM TRYING NOT TO PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THAT 1/4 END PART OF MIRROR. THE HORN IS ANNOYINGLY DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS YEAR AND NOT AS LOUD. *TR

I HAVE PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING MODEL. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (FCW) WHICH HAS A RADAR SENSOR IN THE GRILLE. THE SYSTEM ALERTS CAN BE SET FOR LONG, NORMAL OR SHORT. WHEN SET FOR LONG THE ALERT SHOULD COME ON ABOUT THREE CAR LENGTHS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD. IF THE SYSTEM DETERMINES A COLLISION IS POSSIBLE, IT SHOULD GIVE BOTH VISUAL & AUDIBLE ALERTS, INCLUDING A HEADS-UP WARNING THAT FLASHES ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE FCW SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AS IT IS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. IN FACT IT ONLY ALERTS @ RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE DEALERS TECHNICIAN CHECK IT OUT ON HIGHWAYS, MAIN STREETS & LOCAL STREETS. HE COULD ONLY GET THE SYSTEM TO GIVE AN ALERT ONCE WHEN THE CAR AHEAD WAS STANDING AT A RED LIGHT. THE ALERT CAME WHEN WE WERE ABOUT ONE CAR LENGTH AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD. HE TRIED IT AGAIN @ THE NEXT RED LIGHT & IT DID NOT GIVE ANY ALERT. I HAVE TESTED THE SYSTEM AT ALL SPEEDS & DISTANCES DRIVING BEHIND A CAR DRIVEN BY MY WIFE, NO ALERTS. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING & HE WOULD CALL AMERICAN HONDA TO GET INFORMATION ON HOW THE SYSTEM SHOULD WORK. HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH AMERICAN HONDA & AT THIS POINT IN TIME THEY DO NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM HAVING THEM OR ANY THIRD PARTY CHECK OUT THE FCW SYSTEM. *TR

TO STATE MY ACCORD TROUBLES, THE CAR JERKS/PULLS AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE. I AM A SOFT DRIVER AND I ACCELERATE/DECELERATE THE SAME AT ALL TIMES, THESE ARE THE SPEEDS A NOTICED IT MOST: @15MPH, THE CAR JERK/PULLS AND DECELERATES SIGNIFICANTLY. @ 5MPH, THE CAR JERKS/PULLS (VERY UNSMOOTH) BOTH WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING PAST 5MPH. I'M IN TRAFFIC MOST OF MY DRIVE SO HAVING THE CAR ROUGHLY DOWNSHIFTING/JERKING SUDDENLY MULTIPLE TIMES IN AT LOW SPEEDS IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING. I AM ALSO CONCERNED OF THE WEAR AND TEAR THIS MIGHT ENSUE ON THE ENGINE FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS HONDA PRODUCT, BUYER BEWARE! *TR

OUR 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L IS EQUIPPED WITH A RIGHT TURN SIGNAL BLIND SPOT CAMERA WHICH ACTIVATES WHEN THE DRIVER INITIATES A RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. THE DASH CONSOLE DISPLAY SCREEN GIVES THE DRIVER A VIEW OF THE BLIND SPOT AREA. THE SCREEN ALSO DISPLAYS THE AREA DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CAR WHENEVER THE DRIVER PLACES THE CAR INTO REVERSE. ON THE DAY SPECIFIED, THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL CAMERA ACTIVATED AS I WAS MERGING INTO THE RIGHT LANE, BUT THEN, INSTANTANEOUSLY, THE DISPLAY SYSTEM FROZE, POPPED REPEATEDLY, AND THEN WENT TO A DARK SCREEN--MUCH LIKE STATIC ON A TELEVISION SET. THIS HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN TWO DOZEN TIMES, EVEN AFTER MY LOCAL DEALER REPLACED THE UNIT. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE REAR BACK-UP CAMERA EITHER FREEZES, POPS, AND GOES TO DARK SCREEN OR FREEZES IN POSITION--WHILE I AM DRIVING FORWARD DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER FIVE TIMES ALREADY, AND, AS OF YET, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE WHOLE SYSTEM POPS, FREEZES, AND REBOOTS ITSELF MULTIPLE TIMES EACH DAY. SOMETIMES IT IS NECESSARY FOR ME TO STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, AND THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THESE FEATURES TO WORK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A CAR WAS VEERING INTO MY LANE. AS I WENT TO THE LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL JUST KEPT SPINNING AND THE TIRES WERE GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT CORRESPONDING WITH THE TIRES. WE JERKED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM LANE TO LANE UNTIL WE FINALLY CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL OF THE HIGHWAY. WE THEN SPUN OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE WE RESTED. HONDA HAD NOT RESPONDED AT THIS TIME BUT EVERYONE INCLUDING THE GUYS AT THE HIS BODY SHIP FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I VEERED TO THE LEFT AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED FREE SPINNING AND THE TIRES WERE NOT CONTROLLED BY THE STEERING WHEEL ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HIT A WALL AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. HONDA HAS NEVER COME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD. MY VEHICLE IS STILL SITTING AT THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT ANYTHING DONE TO IT. HONDA WILL NOT LOOK INTO WHAT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LOSE STEERING. *TR UPDATED 06/13/13*LJ

THIS CAR HAS PUSH BUTTON START ON AND OFF. THE ENGINE CAN BE CUT OFF WITH CAR IN ANY GEAR AND IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN PARK. I LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE ON A HILL AND WENT TO GET OUT AND THE CAR WAS DRIFTING FORWARD. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY FEATURES AND THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN. HAS COLLISION ,LANE CHANGE WARNINGS AND THEY ARE SO LOW YOU CAN NOT HEAR THEM. I AM 67 AND MY HUSBAND IS 71 AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR FOR OUR AGE GROUP.CALLED HONDA AND THE WARNINGS CAN NOT BE CUT UP AND THERE IS NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT CAR DRIFTING IF YOU DO NOT PUT IN PARK. VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO INTO REVERSE AFTER THE CAR HAS SAT IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT IT DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE. THE RPM'S GO UP BUT NO MOVEMENT. HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE, IT WILL BEGIN MOVING VERY SLOWLY ALMOST LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. ONCE IT GETS FAR ENOUGH OUT OF THE GARAGE AND AM ABLE TO PUT IN DRIVE IT APPEARS TO WORK NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES AFTER THE CAR HAS SAT OVERNIGHT. *TR

ON 1/16/2013 WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ON AND BLINKED OFF AND ON THREE TIMES AND WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE GAS CAP WAS CHECKED IT WAS NOT LOOSE. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT THEN CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED OVER THE PHONE AND A TECHNICIAN SAID THIS WAS NORMAL AND THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WOULD GO OUT.THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT AND AFTER A COUPLE DAYS YOU COULD SMELL FUEL IN THE CAR IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE A FAULTY GAS TANK THAT WAS LEAKING AT A SEAM. NO LEAKAGE WAS NOTED UNDER THE VEHICLE. DEALER IS REPLACING THE GAS TANK UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN THERE WAS A SLIGHT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND INTO LOWER GEAR, CAUSE VERY HIGH ENGINE REVS AND SHARP DECELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO RE-ENGAGE TRANSMISSION AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO NEAR STOP, SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, AND THEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I WAS ON AN URBAN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. FROM THEREAFTER, THIS WOULD RE-OCCUR PERIODICALLY AND GRADUALLY INCREASED IN FREQUENCY. *TR

AFFECTED PARTS: WINDSHIELD AND WIPERS. THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY TIME, ABOUT 8:45 AM: A GENTLE RAIN WAS ENCOUNTERED SO I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO SLOW AND STEADY (NOT INTERMITTENT). THE WATER PILED UP ON THE WINDSHIELD TO THE LEFT BY THE DOOR POST AND TO THE RIGHT NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND CONTINUED TO STAY THERE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN OFF THE ROAD. THE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS CLEAR. THE WATER RESTRICTED MY VIEW TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT (FROM THE LEFT DOOR POST TO ABOUT 10:30 CLOCK POSITION, AND FROM ABOUT 1:30 TO 2:30 POSITION. DANGEROUS IN STANDARD DAYLIGHT, BUT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, OR WITH A MUCH HEAVIER RAIN. THE CAR IS NEW AND THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH ENOUGH RAIN THAT I'VE HAD TO TURN THE WIPERS ON STEADY. *TR

SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L IN JANUARY 2013, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH STEREO SYSTEM. AT TIMES, THE STEREO WILL NOT TURN ON OR IT WILL TURN ON BUT THE DISPLAY SCREEN IS BLANK. OTHER TIMES, "NO DISC" APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON. I DON'T LISTEN TO CDS, THEREFORE, I NEVER CHANGED THE SOURCE TO PLAY A CD. I ONLY LISTEN TO XM. THE DEALER STATED THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX UNLESS I BRING THE CAR IN WHILE THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND NEVER HAPPENS WHILE NEAR A DEALER. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL IN APRIL 2013 AND TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE STEREO SOFTWARE UPDATE. DID NOT SOLVE MY ISSUES. *TR

WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE WHILE SLOWING DOWN FROM 20+ MPH TO COME TO A STOP THERE IS A NOTICEABLE JERK (WHEN THE RPM INDICATOR IS CLOSE TO 1) BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GUN HONDA, SAN ANTONIO) AND THE TECHNICIAN COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT MENTIONED IT AS A FEATURE OF THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION AND SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW OF ANY WAY TO FIX THE SAME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN I NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPACE, THE BACK UP CAMERA AND THE WARNING CHIME DID NOT ACTIVATE TO NOTIFY THE CONTACT THERE WAS A VEHICLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS NHTSA ID# 10504663 DATED 3/27/13. FRONT BRAKE SQUEAL- SOUNDS LIKE THE WEAR SENSORS BUT IN FACT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER(BAYRIDGE HONDA) IN BROOKLYN N.Y. THAT IT IS INFACT THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE PADS IN PLACE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE REPAIR PARTS TO ARRIVE ALONG WITH THE SERVICE BULLITEN. HOPE IT IS SOON BECAUSE FOR A NEW CAR IT SOUNDS BAD AND I WONDER JUST WHAT THIS RUBBING OF THE CLIPS MY BE DOING TO THE ROTORS. SO FAR, NO REAL BRAKE PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THE SQUEAL. I HAD A 04 ACCORD EXL V-6 AND SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I TRADED IT IN.NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH IT..... *TR

WHEN BRAKING FROM 20+ MPH TO COMPLETE STOP. THE CVT TRANSMISSION JERK/JUMP/SURGE FORWARD. FEELS LIKE STRONG ENGINE BRAKE THEN CVT ADJUST TO HAVE A SMOOTH STOP. THE JERK/JUMP/SURGE HAPPENS AROUND 15 MPH. THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON DRIVEACCORD.NET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW APPEARED DISTORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH THE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,200.

WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE WHILE SLOWING DOWN FROM 20+ MPH TO COME TO A STOP THERE IS A NOTICEABLE JERK BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN I NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. IT FEELS AS IF THE ROTOR IS WARPED WHEN IT WANTS TO STOP THEN SUDDENLY JERKS FORWARD AS IF SOMETHING RELEASES. THIS IS PROBABLY A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

NOTICEABLE JERK WHEN STOPPING THE CAR RIGHT BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALSO, THE CAR JERKS CONSIDERABLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A SMOOTH ACCELERATION LIKE MY PREVIOUS HONDA HAD. PRETTY SURE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. *TR

NEAR MISS AT 1300 MILES. DID YOU KNOW OWNER FILED NHTSA SAFETY COMPLAINTS RELATED TO SEATS/HEAD RESTRAINTS FOR THE 2012 AND 2013 ACCORD ARE OCCURRING AT A RATE 49 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE COMBINED RATE FOR ALTIMA, CAMRY, ELANTRA AND TAURUS? MOST ACCORD COMPLAINTS INCLUDE THE SAME ELEMENTS: AWKWARD POSTURE, PRESSURE ON HEAD AND NECK, PAIN AND DISTRACTION CAUSED BY THE SEAT/HEAD RESTRAINT. HONDA TELLS OWNERS THAT ALL MANUFACTURERS GET THE SAME COMPLAINTS, AND BLAMES NHTSA FMVSS 202: BOTH ARE UNTRUE! AFOREMENTIONED 4-12-2013 COMPLAINT COUNT SHOWS THIS IS A VERY SEVERE PROBLEM FOR ACCORDS, BUT NOT ALL OTHER MANUFACTURERS. THE SEATS IN MY 2013 ACCORD ARE PAINFUL PARTLY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE NO BACKSET BETWEEN THE HEAD RESTRAINT AND MY HEAD; INSTEAD, THEY IMPOSE A PUSH OF A LEAST 13 MM. THIS YIELDS MAJOR DISTRACTION IN 30 MINUTES, SEVERE PAIN IN 2 HOURS; BOTH IMPAIR DRIVING. OTHER SEAT ERGONOMIC FEATURES EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. DURING FMVSS 202 RM, UMTRI RESEARCH SHOWED A 50 MM BACKSET WOULD RESULT IN HEAD RESTRAINT INTERFERENCE FOR 13% OF THE DRIVING PUBLIC. THE MAJORITY OF MANUFACTURERS, INCLUDING GM, MAGNA, JOHNSON CONTROLS, AIAM, THE ALLIANCE, NISSAN, PORSCHE, DAIMLERCHRYSLER, AND FORD, STATED THAT A BACKSET OF 50 MM MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INTRUSIONS INTO THE SPACE WHERE THESE OCCUPANTS TYPICALLY PLACE THEIR HEADS, FORCING THEIR HEADS INTO AN UNNATURAL FORWARD-TILTING POSITION. NHTSA LISTENED, ALLOWS 55 MM. HONDA IGNORED THESE FINDINGS, IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BAD SEAT DESIGN. A 1997 CDC REPORT FOUND STRONG EVIDENCE OF A CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AWKWARD NECK AND SHOULDER POSTURE/ PROLONGED STATIC LOADS AND MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (MSD); MORE RESEARCH REVEALS THE IMPAIRMENTS FROM MSD: PAIN AND FATIGUE. THE ACCORD IS A DANGER TO ME, MY PASSENGERS, BYSTANDERS AND OTHER DRIVERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. FORMAL PETITION SENT 9/6/13

NEAR ACCIDENT AT 1300 MILES. DID YOU KNOW THE RATE OF OWNER FILED NHTSA SAFETY COMPLAINTS RELATED TO SEATS/HEAD RESTRAINTS FOR THE 2012 AND 2013 ACCORD ARE OCCURRING AT A RATE 49 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE COMBINED RATE FOR ALTIMA, CAMRY, ELANTRA AND TAURUS? ALMOST ALL ACCORD COMPLAINTS INCLUDE THE SAME ELEMENTS: AWKWARD POSTURE, PRESSURE ON HEAD AND NECK, PAIN AND DISTRACTION CAUSED BY THE SEAT/HEAD RESTRAINT. HONDA TELLS OWNERS THAT ALL MANUFACTURERS GET THE SAME COMPLAINTS, AND BLAMES NHTSA FMVSS 202: BOTH ARE UNTRUE! AFOREMENTIONED 4-12-2013 COUNT SHOWS THIS IS A VERY SEVERE PROBLEM FOR ACCORDS, BUT NOT FOR ALL OTHER MANUFACTURERS. THE SEATS IN MY 2013 ACCORD ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PARTLY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE NO BACKSET BETWEEN THE HEAD RESTRAINT AND MY HEAD; INSTEAD, THEY IMPOSE A PUSH OF A LEAST 13 MM. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTION WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, AND WITHIN TWO HOURS GENERATES SEVERE PAIN WHICH IMPAIRS MY DRIVING. DURING THE FMVSS 202 PROCESS, UMTRI SUBMITTED A RESEARCH FINDING THAT SAID A 50 MM BACKSET WOULD RESULT IN HEAD RESTRAINT INTERFERENCE FOR 13% OF THE DRIVING PUBLIC. A MAJORITY OF THE MANUFACTURERS, AMONG THEM GM, MAGNA, JOHNSON CONTROLS, AIAM, THE ALLIANCE, NISSAN, PORSCHE, DAIMLERCHRYSLER, AND FORD, STATED THAT A BACKSET OF 50 MM MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INTRUSIONS INTO THE SPACE WHERE THESE OCCUPANTS TYPICALLY PLACE THEIR HEADS, FORCING THEIR HEADS INTO AN UNNATURAL FORWARD-TILTING POSITION. HONDA IGNORED THESE FINDINGS,IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BAD SEAT DESIGN A 1997 CDC REPORT THAT FOUND STRONG EVIDENCE OF A CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AWKWARD NECK AND SHOULDER POSTURE/ PROLONGED STATIC LOADS AND MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (MSD), AND ADDITIONAL RESEARCH REVEALS THE IMPACTS OF MSD, INCLUDING PAIN AND FATIGUE. THE ACCORD IS A DANGER TO ME, MY PASSENGERS, BYSTANDERS AND OTHER DRIVERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

CAME TO STOP AT STOP SIGN. NEW HONDA ACCORD 2013 4 DOOR SUDDENLY TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I PUSHED DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE MOTION FORWARD. IT ONLY MOVED A FOOT OR TWO AND WITH MY WIFE YELLING I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL. SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF US. I AM 51 AND A FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL. MY WIFE IS 52 AND A PHYSICIAN. THIS WAS COMPLETELY REAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME HARD TO CONTROL WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE ELECTRONIC POSITION SENSOR AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,162 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1 6,922.

WAS STOPPED WITH CAR IN GEAR FRONT COLLISION WARNING PROBLEM AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM WARNINGS COME ON IN THE DASH IT ALSO HAPPENED TODAY IN A DRIVE THRU AT COFFEE SHOP THIS MORNING. *TR

PLEASE, PLEASE BACK OFF ON YOUR HEAD REST REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY. PLEASE ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO CHOOSE THE POSITION OF THE HEAD REST. NOT ONLY HONDA, BUT FORD, GM, CHRYSLER, ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE CREATING VERY PAINFUL CAR SEATS SINCE 2009 DUE TO THIS AWFUL HEADREST REQUIREMENT. SEATBELTS ARE A LAW, BUT I CHOOSE TO WEAR THEM. MOTORCYCLE HELMETS ARE NO LONGER A LAW, BUT I CHOOSE TO WEAR THEM. NOW LET ME CHOOSE MY HEADREST POSITION. I THINK THESE NEW DESIGNS ARE GOING TO CAUSE FAR MORE INJURIES AND INSURANCE CLAIMS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THEIR HEADS COCKED FORWARD, IN A FORCED IMPROPER POSTURE. I HAD MIGRAINES DUE TO MY HEADREST BEFORE I RESOLVED THIS ISSUE IN MY CAR BY MAKING MODIFICATIONS. I SIT WITH PROPER POSTURE AND MY HEAD IS FORCED FORWARD. THE ONLY CHOICE I HAD WAS TO SIT IMPROPERLY IN ORDER TO TRY TO AVOID THE TERRIBLE DISCOMFORT THIS NEW LAW FORCES ON ME. PLEASE CHANGE THIS LAW. *TR

THE SEATS ARE HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. THE WAY THEY ARE DESIGNED, THEY MAKE YOU HUNCH OVER, WHERE YOUR SPINE IS IN THE SHAPE OF A C, INSTEAD OF HOW IT SHOULD BE. THE HEADREST PUSHES YOUR HEAD FORWARD THAT FURTHERS THE PAIN. I GOT A LUMBAR CUSHION (TO MAKE DRIVING THE CAR BEARABLE), BUT NOW THERE IS AN GAP BETWEEN MY UPPER BACK AND THE SEAT. I'VE ALSO HAD TO TURN AROUND THE HEADREST, BECAUSE IT WAS HURTING MY NECK PUSHING MY NECK SO FAR FORWARD WHEN THE REST OF ME IS SET BACK. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!! NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PAIN WITH A NEW CAR OR ANY CAR. MAKE THE HEADRESTS ADJUSTABLE AND SEATS WITH ERGONOMIC SUPPORT STANDARD! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO HER HEIGHT, SHE WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE REQUIRED POINT OF THE HEAD REST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 253.

RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION MAKES A METAL TO METAL SQUEAL NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT WHILE THE WHEELS ARE ROLLING. CROWN HONDA, DURHAM, NC REPLACE THREE PARTS IN THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION UNDER WARRANTY AS DIRECTED BY HONDA TECH LINE ON NOV. 20, 2012. HOWEVER, AS OF DEC. 5, 2012, THE SQUEAL NOISE HAS RETURNED WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION NOW MAKES A CLUNK NOISE WHEN TRAVELING OVER SMALL DIPS IN THE ROADWAY. SINCE THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE METAL TO METAL RUBBING, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT BREAKAGE OF THESE MOVING PARTS AND MY OVERALL SAFETY. *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN, V6, TOURING MODEL I STOPPED AT THE SIGNAL LIGHT AT ROUTE 50 AND CHAIN BRIDGE ROAD; WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO LEAVE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED - THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING OR ACCELERATING. CARS BEHIND ME HONKED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MORE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES SPUN A LITTLE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF. THIS GAVE ME A SCARE! THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 10-15 MILES LATER AS I WAS ARRIVING NEAR MY HOME IN ALEXANDRIA, VA. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE IS NOT CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK, SURGE, OR ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN; DURING THIS PERIOD OF HESITATION, WHEN I NEED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE, IT APPEARS TO MOMENTARY DIE, STALL, OR RUN OUT OF GAS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS VERY ODD, SO I INSPECTED THE ACCELERATOR AREA, FLOOR MATS, ETC. AND EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2012, NOVEMBER 27, 2012, DEC 4, 2012 AND DEC 11, 2012. I VISITED FAIRFAX HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT HOPING FOR A QUICK REMEDY. UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE SERVICE MANAGER AND I DROVE THE CAR TOGETHER DURING MY 11 DEC 2012 VISIT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 2012 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN. HE AND I THEN DROVE A 2012 HONDA ACCORD AND I FOUND THIS TO BE OBVIOUS WHEN DRIVING THE 2012 HONDA. I AM VERY SURPRISED THIS DANGEROUS TECHNICAL PROBLEM/ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN HIGHLIGHTED AND REMEDIED FOR THE 2013 VEHICLE. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CONCERNED THAT DUE TO THE HESITATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE I MAY BE HIT FROM THE REAR OR HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECURRING MALFUNCTION. MY WIFE FEELS THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED THIS TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY HAVE OPENED A CASE FILE [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD, THE HONDA HAS INTERMITTENT HESITATIONS AFTER STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, PARKING AND SO FORTH. FOR INSTANCE, FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST FIVE DAYS, I STOPPED, WENT INTO A STORE, RETURNED, CRANKED HONDA ACCORD, BACKED OUT, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO." IT SIMPLY "STALLED" , FEBRUARY 03, 2014. THIS WAS MENTIONED IN 2012 TO SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], AT HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER; IN MOBILE, AL, HE HAD ONE OF HIS TECHNICIANS TO TEST DRIVE MY HONDA. TECHNICIAN RETURNED AND CLAIMED, AFTER TESTING, AND TEST DRIVE, THAT HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK OTHER THAN A VERBAL ASSURANCE THAT I WAS PROBABLY JUST GETTING ADJUSTED TO THE "NEW CAR." AFTER THAT, EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO, I WOULD HAVE A "WHOLE WEEK OF INTERMITTENT" HESITATIONS AND STALLINGS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT - I HAVE TO REALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE CAR TO FINELY DECIDE TO "GO". THIS PROBLEM WAS VERBALLY REPORTED AGAIN TO [XXX], SERVICE MANAGER, AND TECHNICIANS, JANUARY 10, 2013 - MILES 5,384. THE REPORT WAS, "GIVE IT SOME TIME, THE CAR IS STILL NEW." - NOW, AT 24,200 MILES, THIS 2013 HONDA ACCORD STILL SCARES ME. YESTERDAY (2/3/2014), AT A FOUR-WAY STOP, MY HONDA STALLED, THE ENGINE DID NOT "TURN OFF", BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO." FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SOFTWARE ISSUES AND SEEKS A NEW VEHICLE AT NO COST TO THEM. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE IS A LEMON LAW ISSUE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR OR CORRECT ANY OF THE NON-CONFORMITIES AFTER A REASONABLE NUMBER OF REPAIRS OVER A TEN MONTH PERIOD. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TPMS PERSISTED FROM THE SECOND WEEK OWNERSHIP. THE PRESSURE LIGHT PROBLEM WOULD COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES ON A MONTHLY BASIS. AFTER TEN MONTHS, HONDA STATED IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH OUT OF A DRIVEWAY THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE UPON ENGAGING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WERE UNAVAILABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

MY NEW 2013 ACCORD HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE USER INTERFACE TO THE PHONE AND MUSIC. THE PHONE BOOK, XM, AND USB MUSIC ARE DISPLAYED IN LONG LISTS. MY 32 GB DRIVE HAS 300 ALBUMS. MY FULL COLLECTION HAS MANY MORE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO FAST WAY TO SCROLL THESE LISTS. THE DRIVER MUST REACH TO THE FURTHEST-RIGHT KNOB AND TWIST. THIS MOVES THE LIST DOWN ONE ITEM. SO SELECTING ANY LIST ITEM WHILE DRIVING TAKES THE DRIVER'S EYES OFF THE ROAD, CAUSES BODILY CONTORTIONS (IT IS A LONG REACH), AND MAKES I IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY SCROLL MORE THAN A FEW DOZEN PLACES DOWN THE LIST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR WAS THE SIZE OF A SPOT MIRROR AND PREVENTED HIM FROM HAVING FULL VIEW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT WAS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED AND IT NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15.

DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR HAS A LINE ON IT MAKING THE PART OF THE MIRROR WIDE ANGLE LOSING VISION OF VEHICLES ON THE LEFT SIDE . WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE LANES RIGHT LANE TO THE MIDDLE I ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE . THE SALESMAN AGREED THAT THEY DON'T CARE FOR THE MIRROR AND COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT .VEHICLES ARE 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT . *TR

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY NEW 2013 HONDA ACCORD LX APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS AGO, THE MEMORY SEAT ADJUSTMENT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY HONDA DEALER, AND EACH TIME IT WAS CONTRIBUTED TO MALFUNCTION OF THE INSTALLED SOFTWARE, AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM WAS DEEMED "FIXED"...ALTHOUGH IT CONTINUES TO EXIST. THE MEMORY SEATS SIMPLY DO NOT ADJUST THEMSELVES TO THE DRIVER'S SETTING, AND EACH TIME I FIND IT NECESSARY TO READJUST THE SEATS MANUALLY TO MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE, WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING! I AM NEARLY AT THE POINT NOW AT WHICH I AM ALMOST SORRY I PURCHASED THIS CAR, AND I WISH THAT SOMEONE COULD OFFER ME A SOLUTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL! *TR

WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE WHILE SLOWING DOWN FROM 20+ MPH TO COME TO A STOP THERE IS A NOTICEABLE JERK (WHEN THE RPM INDICATOR IS CLOSE TO 1) BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN I NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. *TR

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. *TR
