On june 26, 2015 we discovered the passenger side air bags had deployed some time during the night on this 2013 honda accord.my daughter hadan accident in early may 2015, but the damage was minor.on the driver's side front.around the same time, her mirror got knocked off her passenger door.i contacted honda, who eventually said they had determined it was not a defect and that i needed to pursue a claim with my auto insurance.my case number with honda is [xxx].i made a claim with my insurance company, progressive.that claim number is [xxx].i sent nhtsa an email complaint at that time, but never heard back.today i received an airbag recall notice on a 2012 honda accord my youngest daughter owns.i am very disappointed that nhtsa has not responded.i ultimately paid $2,984.60 in repairs for the airbags.honda airbags have a known airbag problem.i think nhtsa should make them reimburse me.i have attached a copy of the invoice.my email is [xxx]my phone (cell) is [xxx].my mailing address is [xxx] please help.sincerely, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My airbag light is on in my 2013 honda accord and i'm not sure if this has anything to do with the takata recall. My car was just sitting in the drive way the next morning i came out and the airbag light was on and won't go away now.
I was parked in an alley behind a coffee shop.i turned the car on and put my seat belt on and put it in gear.it suddenly lurched forward and struck a parked car one car's width from me, ricocheted and hit another parked car (which then hit the car next to it).i could not stop the car, though i tried; then i pivoted again and hit and took down the cinder block wall of a garage. I turned the car off either right before hitting the garage wall or right after.no airbags were ever released. In retrospect, after the shock at all the damage, i believe something was defective about my new honda accord.
Car was in drive of home, started car and all warning lights stayed on. Would not clear. Drove vehicle to dealership, brakes were barley operable, car was sluggish and power steering almost non-existent. Could have been very dangerous had this happened on the freeway. Dealership first replaced the battery, clearing the codes for a few minutes, the next day they are replacing a bad vsa module that control the abs and other safety functions of the car. The accord only has 67k miles and these sensors are 1700 plus dollars. Researching, i have found a great deal of these failing -usually when the honda is in motion. I was fortunate mine was stationary at the time.
Got hit on passenger side tboned on front and back doors and no diployment i took the car to honda dealer to do the repair thru my insurance dealer tells me the side doors need to be replaced and damage to the pillar and needed new hinges. Two days later go over a bump and airbags deploy. Not when im hit but over a bump they deploy on same side the work was done to the pillar and doors.two days later . Dont understand why diployment going over a bump but not when i got hit by another car to the passenger side pillar.
While driving alone into a marked space in a public parking lot, my foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator. The vehicle then accelerated into the concrete base of a light pole. Immediately, the vehicle bumper crumpled, the left side of the hood crumpled, and the passenger side air bag activated.there was no one except myself in the vehicle and the driver side airbag did not activate. At this date, november 10, i have no idea how much damage was done to the vehicle.
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.
2 items- was there an air bag recall? & starter push button malfunction, it doesn't start at times when pushed, it's getting worst, i'm up to over five trys and now it feels like i'd be stuck at any location. It started about two months ago. Someone on youtube claimed that there was a recall on the 2013 accord push button starter.
Received card for airbag recall
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.
I was in an accident on 4-10-15 in my 2013 honda accord. I hit another vehicle from behind.it was a very hard in pact but the air bag didn't come out until i tried to open the door to get out of the car.the air bag hit the right side of my face, neck, shoulder and breast.i contacted the honda dealer and they said its not a big deal and must of pinched a line to the sensor. The paint and body shop said they have never heard of this happening. The insurance wants to fix it for 10,000 and i'm very scared to get my car back and drive it. Please contact me if this has happened to you. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My husband fell asleep driving and hit a tree, mailbox and went into a ditch head on. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The airbags did not deploy at all.. ....updated 01/23/15
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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the steering column was difficult to maneuver and needed excessive effort to operate while being operated at 15 mph. The failure occurred without warning. Greenwich honda (289 mason st, greenwich, ct) diagnosed that the power steering rack was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
On fri sept 29th, 2017 i had an sua (sudden unintended acceleration) in my 2013 honda accord that devastated part of an office building and wrecked my car. I was in an office park parking lot and backed up, hit a 3 foot high concrete bollard, was annoyed, put the car in drive, felt an odd lurch as though the bumper was stuck on something although it was not. I put my foot on the accelerator and at that moment the car rapidly accelerated to what felt like 30 or 40 miles an hour. I tried to brake but it felt as though there was no pressure under my foot. I gripped the steering wheel in terror and steered the car away from other parked cars and into a concrete wheelchair ramp with rails and an office building. The air bag went off. The concrete ramp and office building stopped the car in its tracks. I put it in park and got out. I'm doing ok but mostly very very grateful i didn't hurt or kill anyone. Minor airbag burn on my arm and a contusion to my knee. I feel the airbag only came out a little and hit my left arm, not the rest of my body. But i could be wrong about that. I'm glad because as a physical therapist i've seen some nasty air bag injuries. Also i did not have my seat belt on because i often put it on as i leave a parking lot. Not a good idea, but also no nasty seat belt injury. Just stiff arms, painful left knee and neck, a few days later.i realize everyone is going to say i had the foot on the accelerator but i was at a dead stop when i put the car in drive to accelerate and seriously, after almost 40 years of driving, i have never felt anything like this terror and loss of control. The policeman who came to the scene would testify to the fact that i was completely sane and sober at the time.today, we heard the car will be appraised as totaled. Good news meaning it will no longer be driven.
Airbag warning light came on took it todealer after 3 hrs of dignostics they could not find what was wrong, i called honda usa they assigned a individual to help,, ne never did anything and would call when he knew i would not be able to answer im concerned as i dont know if the airbag is faulty or the warning light absolutely no assistance from honda
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the first interim notice concerning an air bag recall had been received several months ago, but the parts had not been supplied to the dealer from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was unable to provide a reasonable time frame to supply the dealer with parts. The vin was not available. The contact was not experiencing a failure.
Takata recalli own two honda accords, a 2010 honda accord (vin [xxx]) and a 2013 honda accord vin [xxx]). Both accords have been identified in the takata bankruptcy proceedings as needing air bag replacements. I finally received the official honda recall for the 2010 honda accord passenger side airbag this past friday, 2/23/18. I have still not received any recall to fix the 2013 honda accord air bag(s). I called the honda dealership where i purchased both cars new and was told there would be a recall "at some future point" for the 2013 honda accord, but the service advisor i spoke to could not be more specific than that. In december, 2017 there were no airbag recalls for either honda accord on the nhtsa website. I just checked again for an airbag recall on the 2013 honda accord and nothing for airbags. The recall for the 2010 honda accord specifically states: "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall has been performed." obviously, this is pretty dangerous stuff. I have received no advisories and no safety advice or precautions from honda automobile division / american honda motor company regarding front passengers or steps to take to avoid injury in case of air bag deployment in the meantime (or until such time as a recall is officially ordered).if these takaka airbags are a known dangerous issue for over two years now and these airbags can kill or injure passengers, and my 2010 honda just received it's recall now, in february, 2018 - when can i expect to see the recall on my 2013 honda accord? 2021?i cannot sell or trade my 2013 because of this known airbag problem, other dealers will not touch this car. Please take action to force honda to advise owners to give a projected date for a recall and what to do until such time as a recall is ordered / available. Thank-youinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
"takata recall". (long term exposure to high heat and humidity can cause these airbags to explode when deployed) my horn located in the steering wheel constantly blares when exposed to high heat while in motion on city streets and highways and stationary. This issue comes and goes and the dealership "honda world" located in downey, ca. Refuses to inspect the issue. They tell me the probelm needs to occur for them to inspect the issue. Since i bought the car in 05/2016 this issue only occures in the summer time not the winter which tells me it's being caused by heat. Because the airbag is also located in the steering wheel this issue needsto be inspected asap. I have videos on my cell phone camera as proof.
After hearing a noise coming from the steering wheel (such as a clicking noise or squeaking), turning it left and/or right, i took it to the honda dealership on 08/20/2013. The dealership removed the steering wheel and determinedthat the cable reel for the air bag was defective and needed to be replaced. The dealership did not return the vehicle to me for "safety" until the part was to be replaced (and the steering console had been disassembled). The dealer replaced the cable reel on the car.2 months after the repair, i started hearing the same noise turning the steering wheel left/right. I took the car back to the dealer on 12/26/2013 with the same complaint. The dealer inspection determined that the cable reel needed to be replaced again (5,484 miles). The dealer indicated that they would not disassemble the steering console, they would order the replacement part and i would have to bring the vehicle in again for the replacement when the part arrives (this is the second repair in less than 6 months).i asked the dealership why this was a recurring issue? they indicated that the manufacturer provided them with the part and they are replacing it according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the issue happens for a third time, they will report this to american honda for possible engineering issue and recall.

I purchased a brand new 2013 accord ex-l on tuesday morning, during the test drive i noticed the air bag light on, i was told oh this is the passenger air bag deactivation light, as this car has so many features i thought ok, loved the car and bought it, then before i pulled off the lot i read the book and it said this was to total failure of the srs system air bags, i went back in to the dealership and told them, they took it back to the service dept. And 11 hours later they said the airbag unit in the steering wheel had failed and because this is a safety issue i could leave with the car we will give you a rental, and i could pick my car up in a day or 2, i said ok, then that day turned into another then another, then after me driving back to the dealer ship and waiting another 4 hours while they figured out what to do i was told that the part honda has not even released yet, and the release date is june 4th, i was livid, i told them they need to put me in another one, that this was very unprofessional because this was the 4th honda i got from them, they told me they like to try and fix it, i said by the time i get it my first payment on the car would almost be due, they said well let me see if we can figure something out, call us next wednesday and talk to them again, i am so mad that honda does not even make these parts available on a car that has been out for 8 months, i left in the rental and called honda and was told they normally do this on newer cars, but we will give you call back after the holiday, to date still waiting on my car that i have never even got to take home, someone needs to inform honda that they need to have these part available when the cars are. Very disappointed in them.please contact honda about this issue... Thank you
Driver airbag did not deploy, however, passenger airbag did deploy. Car was stationary and hit from behind by another vehicle moving at least 35 mph and car pushed into another stationary vehicle in front. Car was hit straight from behind. Driver has concussion and neck injury; passenger does not, but had eye irritation.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while at an intersection stop, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal to proceed driving and at 6 mph, another vehicle crashed into the contacts driver side door. No airbag deployed. No injuries were sustained. No police report was filed. The contact stated that the other vehicle left the seen. The contact managed to drive the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a diagnostic testing and informed the contact that the airbag senor needed to be replaced. The vehicle at this time was being repaired. The contact mentioned nhtsa action number: ea19001 (air bags) as a possible solution to why the airbags did not deploy. The dealer bill kay honda (1360 locke dr, bourbonnais, il 609140) was contacted and confirmed no recall was present under the vin. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 121,000. The vin was not available.
Takata recall. I received a notice from www.autoairbagsettlement.com about an airbag lawsuit for my car. The website lists my car on https://autoairbagsettlement.com/content/documents/honda/honda%20subject%20vehicles.pdf it also shows up if i do a vin search on the website, but honda shows no recall for it and it is not listed on here?[note my complaint is the exact same complaint as complaint number 11053674 filed on 12/09/2017]
Takata recall
I contactedpohanka honda in salisbury maryland about the danger of the air bag exploding and causing injury to me or my family. I was told that there was a recall but it was regional and this area and my vehicle was not included.they referred me to hondaof north america and i was told that if i wanted to check out my airbag i would have to pay for the inspection. I disagree because this region becomes hot andthe conditions can be as humid as florida or othersouthern states. It does not make any sense. I do not think i should have to pay for the inspection or put my family in danger.
The driver wasturning 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.
Recall notice
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
I bought the car new with very low mileage (maybe 200 miles).from the time i bought it or very shortly afterwards, the red air bag light was lit on the dashboard.i thought it was normal because it was a brand new car.then i started focusing on it and noticed that sometimes it wasn't on but most of the time it was.i inquired about it when i took it in for the 5,000 mile oil change and was told there was faulty wiring and the air bag unit needed to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v344000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
My daughter hit telephone pulling in a parking at 50 mph off of a city street. She is a new driver and was spooked by a car tailgating her very close. The drivers side curtin air bag did deploy. But the drivers steering wheel air bag did not deploy. There was a passenger in front seat and his air bag did deploy. The side curtin on the passenger's side did not deploy. Both passenger's where wearing seat belts at the time of accident. Question is why did the drivers air bag not deploy?
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that there was a sudden loss of power and control of the vehicle. While driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle veered to the right and crashed into a pole. The front driver and passenger side air bags deployed with force. The driver sustained a broken right arm, minor bruising, and scratches from the impact, which required medical assistance. The front passenger sustained shock and whiplash, which also required medical assistance. A police report was filed. The insurance company towed the vehicle to a collision center. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure years later. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
Takata recall. Plus battery gap that can cause ignition / fire hazard. Honda said they will do this recall at carson honda (nov 1, 2017), however one of window started malfunctioning after recall performed. Not sure if recall is performed either.
My 2013 accord sport suddenly veered left on it's own and i hit a telephone pole breaking it in half. The air bags did not deploy. The car is a total loss and i am injured. I was driving in a straight line when this happened.
My driver side air bag turned on and has been on ever since also when i press on my breaks the the locks on the doors make a clicking noise
Takata recall. I received a notice from www.autoairbagsettlement.com about an airbag lawsuit for my car. The website lists my car on https://autoairbagsettlement.com/content/documents/honda/honda%20subject%20vehicles.pdfit also shows up if i do a vin search on the website, but honda shows no recall for it and it is not listed on here?
Received notice of recall.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving 45 mph, that contact struck a deer. The air bags failed to deploy on the driver side. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was taken home and parked. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 127,000.
Takata recall. Nothing has been resolved.additionally, vtc actuator. Honda has repaired accord's from 2008-2012 but not 2013-2016 which have the same issue. Various forums and my own vehicle has the issue. I have videos and sound to prove the same issue that honda is repairing on accord's from 2008-2012 on the service bulletin. The vehicle is stationary. When turning on the vehicle, the vehicle starts with a loud start-up and sometimes when the weather is really cold, the engine won't start. Honda does have a recall for the same issue but for older cars.
On 11-28-2019@ approximately 1835 hrs. My honda accord lx-automatic was involved in a multiple car accident involving 5 cars.i am concerned that the airbags did not deployed when the car was hit from the rear and pushed into the car in front.2 impacts were felt from behind from.at this time the car is disabled and i am awaiting for esurance to evaluate my loss.i am very concern that this could have potentially been a deadly situation for myself as well as the occupants of the car.i was on the left lane traveling westbound when the car in front of me suddenly slammed on the breaks and the car from behind pushed my car into the car in front of me.the speed limit on the lie 495 westbound is 50 mph.
The backup camera display intermittently goes to all black except for the yellow guidance lines that normally overlay the image. The passenger-side camera continues to work normally as do all the other dash displays. This has been happening for a several months. It seems to be happening more frequently now. These are the same symptoms as what triggered the accord 2018 recall to fix buggy camera software.without the backup camera display it is difficult to determine how far you are away from objects behind you and lower height objects such as small children are completely out of sight. The rear cross traffic view is also unavailable. Yesterday my wife nearly backed up into a car behind her because the backup camera view was blacked out. The problem occurred twice today. Once while in our driveway and once while my wife was backing out of a parking space.the problem has not been reproduced as it is intermittent.
Backup camera not working. Sporadically.canā€™t see pedestrians or other vehicles or objects.this is strong safety issue. Car was designed to use it.canā€™t visually see without it.almost hit child on bike, and other pedestrians.honda had recall on 2018 accord for this, but not 2013. Have read of many, many others this model and exact problem..
I have a 2013 honda accord and i have been the only owner. I recently had to replace the starter! it's rediculous to have to do that on a 2013. I would press the start button and it would just click. After several attempts, it would finally start.
I've own my car for for 1 and 1/2 years and it's dead for the 4th time i had the battery replaced a month after buying the car and am still having problems with it i don't know if it is the starter? it was parked at work for 4 hours then i moved parking spots and shut it off turned back on 10 minutes later to close windows and it's dead.
Sometimes when the key is turned, nothing happens. The car won't start. I took it to the dealer 16 aug 2017. They wanted to change the starter. I said no. This is a car with less than 50,000 miles. Sometimes i need to turn the key several times before it starts or cranks or does anything. Dealer also said it wouldn't start with them.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start until multiple attempts were made. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic and repaired. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the starter was the cause of the failure. After operating the vehicle three times, the vehicle experienced the failure again and was towed to pohanka honda of salisbury (2011 n salisbury blvd, salisbury, md 21801 (410) 749-2301). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was 123,546.
***happens when vehicle is parked and turned off*** this car has a "feature" that is not disclosed to customers upon purchase which can lead to a dangerous condition for property and the interior of the vehicle. If the key fob is placed in a pocket with keys (as everyone does), there is a combination of inadvertent button presses (specifically unlock / unlock / unlock) which causes all of the windows and the sunroof to open. This has lead to my car being soaked by having all the windows open during a rainstorm while i was inside my office (with the vehicle parked right outside -the key fob works from quite a far distance). It has also lead to my belongings being compromised due to all of the windows opening when i parked in the city and was sitting in a building with the keys in my pocket, among other times. When i returned to the selling dealer i was told that they were unaware of this feature and i should read the manual. It is not detailed in the manual and there is no way to disable it.
Issue with push button start. Started experiencing intermittently when pushing button, car won't start. Typically hit the button again and car starts. Now, however, it is taking a few to several times of pushing the start button for car to start. This can happen after being turned off for a minute to overnight. There is no pattern. I've seen this problem has happened to many owners of the '13 honda accord when i look online. Why hasn't honda taken responsibility & issued a recall. This can be a safety issue if you get stuck somewhere & car won't start. (copy/paste- same problem!!)
My 2013 honda accord ex-l has been having intermittent starting problems (push button start).this starting happening approximately three weeks ago. Yesterday, july 14, 2016, the car would not start at all.this is not a car battery issue because all electrical components are working, i.e. Radio, dash lights, horn etc. This also is not a key fob battery issue because the key fob still locks and unlocks the door.car was taken to the honda dealership to have problem diagnosed and repaired. This car is still under the original manufacturer's warranty, car is less than 3 years old and has a little over 32,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving approximately 10 mph, the power steering malfunctioned and caused the steering wheel to become very difficult to turn. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The contact indicated that the failure previously occurred after the battery was recharged. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was an electrical short in the dome light. The dome light was removed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 55,000.
Push start doesn't start the car, there is only 42,000 miles on the car and i've only had the car a little over three years.this should be a recall as it appears to be an electrical issue.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated when driving at low speeds or coming to a stop, the lighting on the instrument panel would dim and the vehicle stalled without warning. Upon placing the vehicle in park and restarting the engine, the vehicle resumed normal function. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was not able to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 18,000.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the bluetooth function would not disconnect properly.as a result, the contact would have to remove his eyes from the roadway, reach down and attempt to reconnect the bluetooth. The contact would also have to shut off and restart the engine in order to establish a connection.the manufacturer performed a software update during production, but that update failed to remedy the failure. The failure mileage was 25 and the current mileage was 500.
The seat memory sensors do not work with key fob close to the door or when in car. Must be set manually each time. The car was stationary at the time of entry.
My car is not starting. Turn the key and nothing. No dragging noise and no clicking. All the lights come on. Seems to be so common at the honda dealership they tell me whats wrong before even examining the car. They say its the starter. Having it examined by the 3rd auto mechanic today. Only 39,000 miles, should not be having these out of pocket expenses. From all the research i am doing, this should be a recall.
My family and i were stranded due to our 2013 honda accord not starting. We just came out of the movies and the car was stationary in the parking lot. I turned the key and it would just click. I had to pay for towing and over $800 to have the starter replaced at the honda dealer. It would have been more, but i called another dealer and they price matched the starter. I drive a lot of mile to work so i have over 60k miles in 2 years. After doing a little research i found that this problem is happening to a lot of people. The problem can be seen on forums and youtube videos. This problem seems to affects new cars, base models, push buttons, v6's etc.i think the starter should be recalled because many people are being forced to replace starters that the dealer seemed to know was bad.
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.
Starter failure at only 45,000 miles.vehicle will sometimes start immediately and other times will only start after multiple attempt over a period of several minutes.when the system fails, the lights on the dash will be on, but there is not sound coming from the starter.
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.
The car has gradually required numerous attempts to start anywhere from 2 to 12 and on some occasions required a jump to start from another vehicle. This started two weeks ago and has progressively gotten worse over that time. Diagnostic testing on 1-15-18 revealed no problems with the car specifically the electrical system.
Starter problemall my lights , radio ac windows work but won't crank up. Called local dealer and was told sounds like a starter problem and will have to have it towed to dealer. With only 56k on iti have never had a starter fail in such a short time. It must be true japanese cars not as reliable as once thought to be.
Starter issue. Electrical problems. 400-700$ repair multiple complaints online about same problem my car 2013 accord exl 81000k.
So this has now happened 3 times in the last few months, once about a month ago and twice last week (after having the car dropped off to fix the brake tsb that causes a squeak on turns). I will be driving down the road from aggressive to normal driving and all of a sudden i look at my dash only to see all the warning lights on. Once this happens you can see the mpg indicator has a delay, a change in behavior of the cars controls, ldw switch no longer functions, and ldw and fcw stop working. The car continues to drive but you can tell all electronics are experiencing a delay or issue with the exception of the navi and radio. Some of the lights go away and come back as you drive, and after turning the car on and off a few times all lights turn off with the exception of fcw and ldw with the "fcw system failure" message which remain, that goes away after a few hours.
I was pulling away from a stop sign and had accelerated to about 15 mph. All of a sudden the car slowed down and stopped. I stepped on the accelerator and the car didn't move and the engine shut down. At the same time all the dash warning lights came on, including check engine, the big exclamation mark, anti-skid control, and the electric steering wheel warning light. I put the car in park and was able to restart the engine. At this time i noticed all the warning lights were still on, including the fcw light in the center of the speedometerwith the message fcw failure. When the car was checked at the honda dealership they could find no codes related to the above issues.they did find code dtc p2176 set for throttle actuator control not learned stored in history.
When pressing start button light will flicker but the car will not start

I lost my power steering at 65mph driving to the coast on highway 26 in oregon. I nearly crashed my car on the curve when my wheel would not turn like it normally does. I had to yank the wheel to the left to stay on the road. I was terrorist! i slowed my can to 50mph the rest of the 45 miles to my beach house in seaside oregon. The steering continued to get worse and i has happy to have the traffic slow down 20 miles out of seaside to bumper to bumper. I barely got the wheel to turn into my driveway at our seaside, oregon home.i started my 'research' to see if a recall had been made on my car for power steering because i would have died hitting the wall of dirt and trees leaving the highway. This is a huge safety issue! i found an article from 2014 that 374,000 people had complained of this same problem. And that you were investigating back in 2014!my car only has about 42,000 miles on it and that was the time of them going out according to the article.cars effected were 2013-2017 honda accords ex. Mine is that and a v6. How many people have crashed & died with this faulty part? do you have record of it? i want this electrial power steering part recalled!!you have failed with not recalling it back in 2014!!i am holding "you" accountable for this happening to me!!i want you to pay for my car to be fixed and my rental car!i need you to respond to me[xxx][xxx] is my cell.you are lucky i didn't crash!! my car is sitting in my driveway in seaside, oregon and i need it towed to beaverton, oregon to get it fixed. I have posted the 2014 article of you not recalling this!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I got off work and the horn was honking. It had been honking so long the battery was dead. And then when someone jump started it and i started to drive off, it honked some more. A few minutes later entering the freeway it started honking once again! each time the honking stopped when i turned the wheel. 3 times in one morning it honked and would not stop until i turned the wheel.since i have had this vehicle the honking comes and goes about every 6 months. But this latest incident has been the worst by far. I took it to the dealer and the fella behind also had the same problem..he called it random honking.
The battery sensor has gaps which could lead to a fire or other dangerous complications. The car often doesn't start. There have been recalls on this make/model/year but not this vin.
I purchased my honda accord 4cy, no navigation in april 2013.after having the vehicle for two weeks, i was backing out of my garage and when i put the vehicle in drive, the monitor where the rear view camera shows up went blank.the radio came on but i could not see any of the channels on the monitor.i turned the power off and then back on and everything works again.this happens on a regular basis and the dealership where i purchased the vehicle said they can only run a test on the car when it actually happens and for me to bring it to them when i have the problem.they do not show any service warranties for this issue.the problem is this happens when i am going to work at 5:00 a.m. And only when the vehicle is inside a garage.if the vehicle is parked outside it does not happen.
2013 started having intermittent starting problems and i took it to the dealer where i bought the car and was told nothing wrong.i went to another dealer twice because the couldn't replicate the issue but on the 2nd time right before the warranty expire they were able to reproduce it and replaced the starter.fast forward in less than 2000miles and less than 1 year, i'm having the starting problems.there is no way that i should having these issues, i haven't taken the car in to diagnose the intermittent starting issues yet, but if the is bad again. I wish they could figure out if the starters are bad or what's causing the starter to fail prematurely
Don't install an after market amplifier and sub woofer. The anc system will cause a loud buzzing sound when you first turn on the car and put it in gear.don't be like me and waste money like i did because honda has yet to address the issue.
Trouble starting car. Changing battery did not help.

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.
2013 accord did not start and make a click sound. Honda dealer not able to figure out the actual problem. Battery, starter replaced but did not resolve the issue.
My 2013 accord sport has been intermittently starting for months when stationary. I changed the battery to a stronger cranking one and it did not fix it although now it will start eventually after several tries. I have tested the alternator and it passed. Next is the starter but honda changed its location and placed it under the motor. I submitted links from a honda forum to this website documenting many others having the same issue whether they drive lx, ex, or sport. Cvt manual it doesn't seem to matter. I have not replaced the starter and think it should be recalled if that's the issue. There are youtube videos also popping up with 2013 accords not starting.
Outside my house

I have a 2013 honda accord 2013 with 75,000 miles on it. For the past few moth i've been having problem with the starter. The car will turn on, but after a few tries. I brought the car to the honda dealer and they confirmed there was a problem with the starter. I did not replaced it because i did extensive research and found out that there are too many customers with the same complaint and it's not fair for some that only have a few thousand miles on their cars for them to be paying over $800 for car defect that honda knows that many of their vehicles should already have a recall.
As i was making a left turn all the dashboard lights turned on. I took it to autozoneand they told me there is something wrong with rear tire on the passanger side

The car sometimes starts without key,the car steals power when kept out
2-3 months ago, at approx 72,000 miles, the starter would not work on occasion. Independent diagnostic suggested issue with alternator (replaced) and battery (replaced). Issue continued.now we have not been able to start the car for days. A test of the starter shows nothing wrong. Then fcw system failed while trying to start the car, cleared and failed again. Pushing starter button results in all lights and power coming on, but no start of the car.when power is off and door open, there is a warning signal similar to when lights are left on, but lights are off.seems the starter problem is common, but the recommended fixes are not working.repeatedly replacing parts does not resolve the issue.i was 150 miles from home before the last start.when the car started after several attempts, i immediately drove home.i can't risk being stranded.
There are many many complaints on line about the starters on the 2013 honda accord - but honda still has not made a recall??this is an expensive part to replace and they are not helping anyone?i am afraid i will get stuck somewhere and my car will not start - but it is almost one thousand dollars to get it repaired!!!!i have to crank it many times before it will start.the one shop made me get a new battery - but that did not make any difference.i feel like i will get stranded somewhere unsafe!
I am the 1st owner of my accord.the issue occurs with the car being stationary and parked in a driveway, parking lot or on a street. With in the last two weeks i started having problems with starting my car.i would turn the key the dash and all associated parts would light up but the engine would not start.the battery was fine.it would take 3 turns of the key to get it started.took it to the dealership today 8/17/16 and they diagnosed it with a bad starter. The cost of the repair is $900-$1000.the car has 35000 and i have owned it for 3 years.

This issue stared last week i didn't think too much on this but as the days goes on it take longer for meto start my car and me day i have to stop at lease 2 to 4 times to get the car to start.as i continue to search online to see what was the issue i am seeing more and more of this problem of what i am having. My car has been parked and there is no wires connected to the car to drain the battery, i have change both my car battery in my key battery already.this is very annoying i've been using honda for many years now and i never had this problem. With my other pass honda i would have to turn the key.
It so far has happened to me twice that i need to jump-start the car. There probably has some electrical leakage issues or something related to it.the first time it was more than a year ago that when i came earlier to a doctor appointment waiting for the clinic to open, i turned off the car and left the cd player on. But it only played for about half an hour or so it turned off automatically due to the battery power has already been depleted and the card could not start at all that i had to call aaa after the doctor appointment to jump-start for me. I thought at that time it was due to the cd player took too much power so i did not complain about it.but the second time it was a few weeks ago on sunday, which give me the concerns that there must be some electrical leakage on my car. After parking for the church meeting and turned off the car, both my wife and i decided to open the window a little bit to let the air flows in the hot weather since we parked under acovered parking and would not worry about possible rainfall. So before we open the doors, we opened both front windows a very little bit and left for the meetings. Then about 3.5-4 hours later when it was time to go home, we found out the car would not start, and we had to ask for help to jump-start it again. This time it gave a definite guess that there must be some electrical leakage in the car.i also complained in early june of this year about the steering wheel lock issue. I received a mail from honda to fix it, but when i call the dealers, none of them even offer loaner cars for such recall and manufacture failure repairs.honda is bad for things like this.i don't know whether i should purchase honda again in the future.i never complained once for my toyota for years. Even they schedule for manufacture recalls, which i never encounter myself, i did not have to worry about the loaner car.
My chmsl lights were not working after 108,220 miles. I took the car to honda dealer and they quoted $258.99 for parts and $500.00 for labor to replace the high mount 3rd brake light. I took it to a private mechanic to get the car fixed who told me that factory-installed led chmsl had its quick connector without a stop tab therefore the wire was pulled out from the quick connector. I had to pay $250.00 for total repairs to replace led chmsl. The mechanic also mentioned to me that the manufacturer installed the part which was defective intentionally as it had some permanent markings on the led fixture. He also mentioned that the led fixture was functional except for the defective locking tab for the connector.the problem appears to be quality control and manufacturing defect.

In 2018 my battery went dead and the lines were corroded.battery was replaced. 3 months ago my car started to not start randomly. All lights on dash lit up, starter making noise as if it is starting, car doesn't start.this was about once a week but is now up to ten times a week.i looked it up online where others reported the same problem, said put it in neutral and it will start (true) and that hondas were having trouble with connection to batteries. Said step one was to change out sensor until part became available to fix this problem and to contact recall with vin number to get vehicle fixed. I had a recall on a sensor a couple of years ago and took car in for same and had work done--not sure if this is same problem or not, but as i was able to look the exact problem up online with explanation and solution how to circumvent problem i expected to see a recall about this.please advise what my next step is. Thank you. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*pm
Car would not start consistently. Push button start needed to be engaged up to 10 times for car to eventually start. Problem continued to become worse over time. Ultimately the starter needed to be replaced after only 3.5 years and approximately 49,000 miles. Problem can leave driver stranded at remote locations creating an unsafe condition.
Tried to start the car. The vehicle just lights up will not start by pushing button. Just clicking and lights inside flickering. This problem is causing me to miss work. Got in this car to go to work but will not start.
My car just got 22,000 miles but has problems with the starter. I joined a forum of people who own same type of my car. There are many people has same problems with mine. Some lucky people got the problem when the car has 80,000 miles. Some unlucky people got the problem with the low miles on the car as me. I think honda need to have a recall for starter problem of honda accord 13 model.
It's been over 2 moths and 5 visit to dealer still got same problem car is honda accord 2013 and it's smart start car won't start sometimes it takes 20 min 40-50 try to start the car lost of same year honda owners are having same exact problem you can see it in google search or youtube dealer always told us the car got no problem but were having same problem 2-3 times a day we get stuck every where we go since car does not start.
American honda motor co., inc. (honda) is recalling certain model year2013 accord vehicles. In certain vehicles, the plastic caseof the battery sensor may have gaps that allow moisture to enter the sensor. If moisture containing conductive substances (such as road salt) enters the battery sensor, it could cause an electrical short and subsequently, a fire. Recall date: june 29, 2017. So far no action has been taken. Now fall season is about to happen. I am concerning about safety of my vehicle about electrical short circuit result in fire. I checked with honda dealer last week. He said parts are not available to replace it.
Sometimes the car will not start. Brake is depressed and button is pushed to start, green light goes on but car does not start. Air conditioner will run. I then push the starter button and everything goes off and try to start the car again. Car usually starts after one or two times.
The car will not start intermittently. Sometimes it can take 10-30 minutes to try and start it with the key. You will turn the key and it clicks but nothing engages. We had a new key made thinking it may be the chip in the key causing it not to start. That was not the case. Took it in to the honda dealership today after my daughter being stranded yesterday because it wouldn't crank. Service tech says its the starter. Obviously these 2013 hondas have an issue, it's all over google and youtube with many people having the same issue and all low mileage.
Driver door lock actuator not working
Went to wedding 125,miles away, at the reception noticed my cell phone charger laying in the seat" berried haft way in the leather seat burnt a hole in the seat. Wife not happy her car. I took the first charger to verizon to be check out at the same time i perches a second charger and to let them no a bought the burn in the seat, after verizon checked charger it was determined not to be there charger after coming home from the wedding t went to rock honda to ask if there was or is a recalls on the electrical the accord for this year, not that they a where of.i check in to the cost of having this seat repaired, the cost was small but significant. I waited to see f there where going to any more occurrences be for taking the vehicle passenger seat to be repaired, yes there was a third incident. My wife and i where returning from a funeral on 4/21/2015 when the rear view camera froze on the window screen keeping from viewing any in my blind spot or to the rear of my vehicle.i drove from the cemetery to rock honda with the problem still showing on my dash. The wait was long at the dealer, but be for i turned off the car i took a picture of the of the dash board shoeing it was frozen.i received @ 12:22 4/22/2015 telling me thatthey were going to replace the rear view camera but not going to do any thing for the charger or the burn /hole in the seat.

Note there was no mention on the dimming or brightening of our dash lights, when i ask' they told me they did a complete reset of the computer and this will take care of the problem.
Intermittent startingproblem
I bought my 2013 accord sport new. Almost immediately i noticed that after i start it and put it in drive, it would not go anywhere. Slight press of the acceleration pedal and slowly it would move forward, however within approximately a minute the acceleration pedal press and the vehicle moving would work as they should. Since i only considered this an inconvenience, even though this is not " normal", i ignored the issue. In mid 2014, while driving on the freeway, in los angeles, the vehicle's electrical system and the dashboard went completely out, only to flicker back to life within the next two seconds. A few months after, with no warning and for no apparent reason, while i attempted to start the vehicle, i discovered it to be completely dead. No clicks, no flickering lights. I replaced the battery at about 25k miles. Over the next year, the sudden electrical short, where the dashboard electronics and everything electrical on the car would turn off suddenly, continued. Every two months on average i would experience an episode, some while driving, some when i was stationary, with the engine running for couple of minutes. Beginning of 2016, i attempted to start the vehicle, again no sign of life, out of the blue. I jump started it, had it checked, no apparent problems or issues with the battery. End of march 2016, same problem. I went to start the vehicle, it turned the dashboard lights on, then it died...no clicks, no lights flickering. I had it checked by a mechanic, could not find anything wrong with it. I don't know what to do.i liked what honda used to represent, i am not sure anymore about its reliability.
While parking, but stopped, the car sped out of control. Foot brake and hand brake failed to stop the speeding car.it leaped over a curb and into a retention pond.the doors refused to unlock. Driver and passenger escaped thru windows and onto the roof.previously, the unattended car had locked itself and windows and sunroof had opened on several occasionsthe two fobs were on cup hooks in the house. Honda shows no interest.
False low tire pressure indication.honda accord owned for 12 months, less than 12,000 miles, i have received a low tire pressure indication for the fourth time.the previous three times, before taking my accord to the dealership, i checked the tire pressure.all four tire pressures are within recommended settings.after receiving my vehicle after service, the service department reports all four tire pressures are low.the last time the service manager indicates the tires need to be re-inflated every 2 - 3 thousand miles.continued false indications is as much as a safety issue as the indicator not working at all.
When i start my vehicle, the engine turns on, but only stays on for a second or two before loosing power. The battery seems to be working perfectly fine as the lights and indicators are properly lit. The starter also cranks properly. The engine however turns on but doesn't stay o. This has happened to me multiple times and i have changed my car battery 3 times now as the dealership isn't unable to identify what the issue is and my battery keeps getting drained. The car is particularly susceptible to this issue in the mornings in colder temperatures (50 degrees or so as i live in southern california) after not being used overnight
Starterbutton fails to start engine,50% of the time,even with brake fully depressed.
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.
I have been having trouble with starting up my honda accord. I thought it was the battery so i got that replaced but am still having issues. I press the start button and the power turns on but does not start the engine. It does this multiple times. Sometimes it will start the engine but lately, it has turned more into a gamble on when it will actually start the engine.
When i first purchased my 2013 honda accord from the dealership i noticed sometimes the push start would stall or sound like it was failing. Also my driver side door would not respond to my key fob. All other doors respond to it except the driver door. I have replaced the battery and still the issue hasn't been resolved. I have been taking the actual key out of the fob and inserting it into the car door to unlockmy driver side door. Now the ac has began to stop and start. It almost sounds like the fan motor is kicking on and off. And my driver side seat is not sliding back properly. It will began to glide then stop. Then i have to keep pressing and it'll glide back a little and then stop again. Overall i think there is some sort of electrical shortage or something is happening with it. According to the national highway traffic safety administration there was an electrical system recall sent out june 29, 2017. As stated on their website this could result in an electrical short increases the risk of a fire. The nhtsa campaign id is 17v418000 !
I own 2013 accord with 40k mileage and faced starting problem from october 2016, battery was dead suddenly and replaced it in november 2016. Even after that i was facing starting problem and hear a click sound while starting and gets started very next time. Checked with mechanic and i was told starter is dead and not covered under warranty.
Electronic power steering system has failed for the 5th time in the last month.eps light illuminates on dashboard, total loss of steering control.vehicle is not safe to drive.was originally cleared by turning the car on and off, but now fails immediately upon starting vehicle.dealership quoted $1,700 repair - this should be a recall.
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!!
My starter is being replaced for intermittent starting issues. My mechanic very experienced and i have been using for years made the diagnosis. I was present for the diagnostic test. My car is a 2013 honda accord with less then 44000 miles.i have owned 3 honda's all still in the family.i had a 2002 with the original starter, which my daughter now owns and i have a 2010 with almost 100,000 with the original starter. Something is wrong when you have to change a starteron a 4 yr old car with low mileage. I have also had to change the battery in the 2013 last januarywith less then 40,000 miles on it. I changes the battery myself.
The key turns over but engine does not crank
Two false tpms low pressure warnings, second occurrence 7/19/2013. Tire pressure during both occurrences was correct when subsequently measured with tires 'cold' after warning.tpms was recalibrated after both false warnings. Tpms is an indirect system, computed through abs system. Checked with american honda for a firmware update, none pending.
Keyless push button start works intermittently to start car - sometimes takes 10 tries to crank; battery is good
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.
Our 2013 honda accord push button engine start button is not working reliably.we depress the brake and push the button, lights come on but no starter noise.we recently had the honda recall for the battery boot completed.within 2 months we began having difficulty with the push button engine start.the car battery was replaced approximately 4 months ago so we were sure it wasn't that.next step, replaced both fob batteries.still having the same difficulty.is it a coincidence that honda dealer has been in the engine/electrical system recently or is this a bad sign of honda's poor workmanship?

Intermittent starting issues. Sometimes it will start on first push of the push to start button. Other times it takes 10+ minutes of attempts to get it started. Sometimes it just hasn't started. Took to a mechanic, diagnosed as the starter, replaced starter. Issue is still present this didnot fix the problem
My 2013 honda accord has an automatic starter and the starter has not been working properly. The vehicle has just over 50k miles on it.when you press the automatic started the vehicle appears to power on but the starter is not working. Each time this happened, it would take 5-10 minutes before it actually starts.
Keyless fob has two times opened all four windows and sun roof while in my pants pocket a couple of inches. The last time on april 11, 2016 it rained two inches and the car was left in the rain. The following morning the car would not start . The lights on the dash were flickering like crazy. You can not tell the sun roof is open because the sliding cover is closed. I think honda should remove this feature that allows you to open the sunroof from pressing a buttonfrom your fob. This cost me a lot of money and i didn't even know the sun roof was left open.
My car is 2013 accord bought brand new from gardena honda and no other mechanic touched it. Since 2013, i have serviced my car at the same location. My car was perfectly fine however, once i received the battery recall letter i decided to take my car into gardena honda. Please note my car still has less than 30,000 miles on it. August 2017 i went to get my car checked for the battery recallthey said everything was fine and that they applied konshi bond to protect bms. Two days later after work my car did not start (stationary). Check engine was on, check steering light on & traction light on plus low pressure on. I immediately felt unsafe to drive my car but had to take it back to honda to see what they had done to it. Honda said it was not their fault and that now the problem had nothing to do with my battery. Instead, it was my engine wire harness. That needed to be fixed for a price of ~$2,800 but they could lower it to $669.15 + tax i just want to express how disappointed i am in honda. I bought a honda because they are supposed to be a reliable car. Back in march 2016 they told me by battery failed the battery test and decided to charge it. November 2016, they made me buy a new battery, at that time my car was still brand new with only 22,000 miles on it. I don't believe this is coincidence. I got a honda for reliability reasons. I also know you are not supposed to service the car for the same issue 3 times and i shouldn't be concern of my 2013 honda car that still has less than 30,000 miles of any electrical issues. I am concern of service fraud because i was charge to recharged and replace the battery. One time i was within warranty and the other was just a few months afterward. I am requesting a reimbursement of some manner; it can be monetary or free servicing my car.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While the key was in the ignition, the vehicle stalled without warning. After twenty minutes, the vehicle returned to normal. The vehicle was towed by aaa to balise honda of west warwick (509 quaker ln, west warwick, ri 02893, (401) 822-2000) to be diagnosed, but no failure was found. The failure recurred. The dealer installed a new battery and starter. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 100,000.
When attempting to start car , you can hear grinding noise, car fails to start , have to attempt several times to have the car to start, the procces to start car gets worse by every attempt
Battery terminal corrosion - the factory battery had severe corrosion problems after 2 yrs (unlike any of my other 3 cars). On the third year it died and was replaced with a aaa battery. After 6 months this battery is also showing corrosion. This seems to be a common issue after doing google searches. What's worse is the positive batter cable is not an easy nor economical replacement once the corrosion finds its way inside. I believe the corrosion is happening because of the 'smart charging system' honda is using on this vehicle. Never seen this problem in my 30+ yrs of owning dozens of cars.
The starter in my 2013 honda accord coupe failed after only 3 years and 55,000 miles. The car would not start when i pressed the push to start button and would finally turn on after numerous attempts. This went on for 3 weeks until the car would no longer start.
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.
The smart entry key warning light on dashboard randomly goes on and off. I have replaced battery in key fob with same result. I am concerned because at some point vehicle may not start. Vehicle was in motion and stationary at times when this occurred. Has been happening for last several years.
Honda sensor not fix causing electrical to heat up and smell of electrical wire burn and goes away this happens randomly and usually when i activate turn signal and honda is not able to fix the problem i have taken it to honda dealer service department and they say they fix the problem but problem keeps coming back
2013 honda accord v6exl starter makes grinding noise when being started.sometimes takes multiple trys to finally turn over and start engine.brought to dealership but they said they could not replicate the issue. Only offered to replace entire starter system for $900.
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
To begin with i've had to change my battery atleast4 times(one time it exploded with battery acid)in the last 2 years. Also 6 different lights in the panel are on(brake/abs/tire pressure/a steering wheel with an !/maintenance/power steering. I recently purchased 4 new tires from firestone and got the car alignedthe mechanic said he tried to reset the notification on the dashboard but it wouldn't turn off. I also had a family mechanic put it under the computer which diagnosed an electrical issue. Another issuethe car is having is it short circuits my head lights when it rain, which means i'm replacing them almost monthly. The car tends to shake when its stopped but only if the ac is on. So in conclusion after reading this recall in credit karma i am sure my car needs to be repaired
Fcw system failed, abs, tps message popped up out of the blue. I braked and the car spoed up, i had to pull up my emergency brakes, and almost rear ended another car with infant because of this. Took the car to a certified mechanic with 18 certs. The brake lines, fluid, rotors, fluid were perfect. No leaks, the message is still up.he cannot pull up any codes. I am taking a screenshot of this statement with todays front page paper indicating the date i am sending this to you. Please send out an emergency alert so other honda drivers do not have to use their emergency brake and possibly killing an infant or other passengers when their brakes fail.
I currently have the front collision warning and lane departure failure readout display along with the following yellow service lights; fcw, ldw , esp, abs, electronic steering and tps lights activated.the front collision warning, lane departure safety feature, anti-braking system and electronic stability are not working at this time as i drove to the dealership this morning while it was snowing (vehicle obviously in motion). I"m currently waiting for resolution from the dealership and american honda corporation.
The ignition switch didn't work well only a few years after i purchase the new car (2013 honda accord). The factory must have a recall!
Push start failuremy car had 50000 miles on it when it started having trouble with the push start button.it did it once a week sometimes and eventually happened every time i tried to start the car.i took it to a mechanic and they were unable to pin point the problem.the starter checked out ok but since they could not find any other problem, they replaced the starter and kept the original incase i continued to have the problem they could return the original and give me my money back.it's been two weeks and so far i havent had the problem anymore.only time will tell.
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
Vehicle would occasionally not start.when pressing the button, a static noise is heard.the starter is spinning, but not engaging with the torque gear.the starter motor has been replaced three times but the result is the same.these start issues are a daily occurrence.the only way it starts is if i shift to neutral and try.occasionally that doesn't work and i have to shift back to park and try to start it there.
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.
Issue with push button start. Started experiencing intermittently when pushing button, car won't start. Typically hit the button again and car starts. Now, however, it is taking a few to several times of pushing the start button for car to start. This can happen after being turned off for a minute to overnight. There is no pattern. I've seen this problem has happened to many owners of the '13 honda accord when i look online. Why hasn't honda taken responsibility & issued a recall. This can be a safety issue if you get stuck somewhere & car won't start.
Starter motor had progressive premature failure. Began having problems with car not starting about a month ago. Loud click, all dash lights would come on, but no crank or start. Eventually would not re-start and left car stranded. Car started with jumper cables. Dealer diagnosed starter failure. Vehicle is 2-1/2 years old with 49,845 miles. Dealer did not offer warranty repair. Cost for replacement was $724.00.
Car won't start.after battery sensor recall was completed the problem started.brake pedal does not go down.press keyless start and only dashboard lights go on.have to get the car jumped every 2-3 days.afraid to turn the car off.all recalls completed.dealer where i purchased the car from was not familiar with the problem.brand new battery.
In early 2019, after my honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, i began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 honda accord.sometimes, my car starts right away.but more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature.when repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, i hear a 'clicking' type noise when i press the start button, but my car does not turn over.after several attempts pushing the 'start' button, my car eventually starts (sometimes after a few seconds and a few attempts, sometimes after many attempts and two or three minutes).the problem occurs randomly, when the car is cold and warm.i never experienced this problem until honda replaced the water pump on my car earlier this year.based on other web posts, this sounds like a common problem with the push button start feature in 2013 honda accords.once my car starts, it runs well.at this present time, i have no other mechanical problems other than the push button start feature.however, my car's failure to start is a safety issue in itself if a car fails to start in a situation where a quick get away is necessary (for example, flood, wild fire, or other natural or other disaster that may require that my car start without delay).

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and all the warning indicators illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle took ten minutes before it started. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was later taken to another independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer due to diagnostic and repair fees. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
My accord has 38769 miles on it, has always been serviced be a honda dealer, and recalls have been fixed. Since the battery sensor was fixed december, 2017 my push start will not always start my car and there is no indicator light to show anything is wrong.the dealer wants to charge me to diagnose my car. I notified honda, they assigned a case number and referred back to dealer. I have googled this problem and it seems that several 2013 and 2014's have this problem just after warranty expired. Would you please investigate? these starters are dangerous.when i purchased the car in 2013 and was coming up a snow covered drive my car quit and islid backward because icould not restart car without using the brake. I complained to honda then, they opened a case, then nothing. Itold them then that iwas sliding backward and could have gone over an embankment.. They just closed that case when i called about current problems. I will never own another honda.
March 2019 drove carto gym without incident. Car wouldn't start an hour later. Aaa came and the tech's tools indicated battery had sufficient power. Tech tried multiple times to start car and got it to run. He advised me to take it to shop to get starter fixed. I drove it home instead and the car worked fine for a month. One morning it didn't start again. I tried to start it again two weeks later and it was fine. The next day it didn't. Finally in july 2019 i called for a tow. Aaa came, jumped the car and advised me to drive directly to shop. At shop, determined it was just a dead battery. Replaced it today. At 120000 miles and in the span of 6 years, this is the third battery.
After working a late shift at her job, my wife went to drive home only to have the car fail to start. At 11pm, she was left stranded in an empty parking lot until i could reach her (45 minutes from our home).the car's starter had failed. A google search shows that this is a common and well-documented flaw with the 2013 accord. Called the local dealer and they insist that they have no reports of known starter issues. Repair cost is over $300 ($200 for part plus labor costs).reached out to honda corporate,no response.
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.
Takata recall. Plus battery gap that can cause ignition / fire hazard. Honda said they will do this recall at carson honda (nov 1, 2017), however one of window started malfunctioning after recall performed. Not sure if recall is performed either.
Vehicle was stationary and in park. Vehicle intermittently will not start. When you put your foot on the brake pedal you heara "click" and then push the "start" ignition button, the car does not crank, but the electrical instruments in the car cabin come on. Replaced batter and still have the same problem. Takes multiple attempts before vehicle will finally start. Vehicle started doing this at about the 33 month of ownership (i purchased it brand new). Vehicle had approximately 58,000 miles on it when it started having this problem. Vehicle continues to intermittently not start. Honda dealership can not find any faults or codes. Dealership is unable to and un willing to troubleshoot until they can detect a code/fault or observe problem.
Car developed problems starting.all lights, radio, etc would turn on but the starter will not start the vehicle.it began slowly and got increasingly worse with time.problem got even worse after the recalled battery sensor was replaced.
Power steering went out.warning light for power steering came on.turned off car, restarted and the same warning light came on.turned off the car again, restarted and power steering was then working.this did not cause an accident.
I have changed my cars battery yearly since 2016. It always have a starting issue after several months. I have changed 4 batteries and the issue is still coming every year. Last time was happened in a park when i was driving my kids. Fortunately, my speed was only 20 mph and the car turned off and cannot start. If this happened on the highway, it would be very dangerous. I think the battery of accord has some problems as i always change the original battery from the dealer. My other cars only need to change battery after 4 to 5 years of use but my accord need to change a new battery every year. There must be some issues of the car it self. If this happened when i was on the highway, it would be really dangerous.
Ignition fails intermittently with grinding, scraping noise.
Starter motor does not activate all of the time. The starter just clicks about 50% of the time. This has been going on for 3 months. The car will eventuallystart after numerous tries. Approximate mileage 67000
For the past year the car has failed to start intermittently. The only way i've found to get it started is to use an external battery jump. Even then that also fails about a third of the time, though waiting some time enables the jump to work. The dealer says it is "probably" the starter and wants $1,000 to fix it. The problem began at about 40,000 miles and the starter should not fail at that age.
I own a 2013 honda accord ex-l v6 w/ navitoday i started my car and when the stereo came on it was all static with a little background music from the radio. I switched the source to xm radio, ipod, bluetooth, fm radio... All of which were loud and statickey with hardly any music. I turned the car off and turned it back on and the problem went away. The is the first occurrencebut i have read online that this is a common problem in the 2013 accords.
Intermittent starting issues, push start button, car makes grinding noises and clicking, brake then locks down to the floor. After repeated attempts to push button, car will eventually start..this is an intermittent problem, has occured at least 6 times in past 4 months. Does not happen all the time. Have had car to honda dealer for diagnostic, they cannot find problem but state there has been multiple complaints from other honda consumers. This issue has no certain time of happening, has occured on a cold and warm start. I never know when car will start or not. Taking car back to honda service next week to try to diagnose again.
Battery drains often. Have changed the battery twice & i believe i will have to change it again. I believe it's the charging system for the battery
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.
2013 accord. Original battery died september 2016 - replaced battery again july 2018. Beginning in may 2018turn the key and lights come on but engine doesn't crank. It takes 2 or 3 tries then cranks and starts like normal.very disappointed in honda brand. They were know for reliability - no longer!would not recommend honda to anyone i know looking for a car.
Dealer did a recall update of audio system in march 2013 to repair defects in audio system.this update immediately began to interfere with the car's cell phone blue tooth connection causing loss of pairing, loss of speed dials, etc.i have contacted the dealer and honda factory representative repeatedly.the only response i get is they are working on a solution.spoke to honda engineering several times.they offered two suggestions which did not solve the problem.recently i spoke to engineering and their suggestion this time concerns me.i was told that shifting the car out of park before the phone pairs seems to cause the phone failure and if i delay until the phones syncs that appears to be an remedy.when i asked if this was the permanent solution i was told no but now they know what is causing the problem and they will have a fix soon. I an concerned because what would shifting out of park have to do with my phone connecting to the car.if honda is using a system that is so integrated that a failure of the phone system ties in with shifting out of park what other potential failure was caused by the march update of a radio ?could that update also affect the transmission, engine or braking system?honda has known about my problem, there are many others with the same problem, since march and they claim they have been working on a solution since then.could it be the problem is more severe then honda will admit?in the mean time i own a car with a defect that is unsellable and one that could also be potentially very dangerous.my fear is that many car owners will just write off this system failure as no big deal and will use their car phones minus the hands free blue tooth.if so they could be drivinga car which has been impaired in other ways, possibly with a defective safety system that resulted from honda's audio update.
Intermittent ignition failure. This seems to occur more frequently in colder weather, but i have had issues all year long. When attempting to start the engine, you hear a loud static noise with no engagement of the engine. I've had to abandon my car on a couple occasions due to this failure. Honda service technician advised me that this is a common issue and often results in replacing the starter. I don't have a written quote, but he verbally estimated the cost to be around $1,000.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.parts distribution disconnect.
Apparently many have complained about faulty starters in this particular model, and sure enough i experienced it today. The starter failed. This is from a cold start and it's happened three times already.
During three hour night drive the dash display dimmed to black at interstate speeds.after an hour or so the panel lights came back on.after a few minutes they went out again.the nextday during the return drivein daylight panel seemed normal.
I think this might be my 3rd complaint, i love honda and have had honda cars for years, but this has really tested my patience. For the last 4 years i have gone through 3 starters and 2 alternators, every time i contact honda they tell me to drop the car off so they can test it, i pay them $130 so they can tell me what they already know.my problem is that starter issue is very common, and there is no long term fix for this issue. So the issue is back, i end up getting stranded in places for hours at a time, and sometimes even end up being late to work, due to my starter spinning away until i can get it to catch eventually. I took it to get appraised the other day, and it wouldn't start ofcourse, the dealer refused to look at the vehicle ofcourse, because no one wants to sell a lemon. At this point, i am either looking for honda to buy my car off me, replace it, or come up with a permanent fix. If you go on youtube and type in honda starter issue you will find plenty of videos, and i also have reciepts for all the trips my car took to the dealer.i am not going to install a 4th starter, that is that rediculouse, i refuse to go to a honda dealership again for them to tell me what i already know.
Car 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.
2nd time having the fcw failed issue. Dash lights up like a christmas tree. Traction and sluggish response to foot on pedal. Makes me nervous to drive. Cost me a ton to fix the first time, i'm sure they will charge me again. Reading online i am not alone. This is extremely dangerous.
The car is having starter issues. Randomly will start and then won't. There are thousands of complaints about this on the internet. Same make and model, same issue. The system or starters are obviously defective and should be recalled. This has been an ongoing issue for quite some time for us- at least a year or more.
The fcw 03 system failure light continues to come on. The car is only four years old and has had several electrical problems. On june 27, 2017 the car cut off on me while driving on the highway due to the fcw 03 code flashing on and off. I always thought that honda made reliable and safe cars, but this is proving to be untrue. I would appreciate your company addressing the issues at hand with my car. Thanks
Sometimes my 2013 honda accord car won't start immediately. It was stationary.i have to wait a minute after the first few tries. It a starter issue. It not the battery i purchase a new battery and i i'm still having the same problem.
Push button start does not work sometimes.getting progressively worse over time.
2013 honda accord v6exl starter makes grinding noise when being started for the first time that day. Happens more on colder mornings than warm mornings. It is a known problem with this year accord.
This problem started two years ago and got worse in may.it all started whe we had a rough time starting the vehicle it would take up to 6 time until the car would finally start.we were told it was the battery so we changed the batter up to four time and it still kept having starting issues so then we were told it was the starter so we had it replaced and we are still having issues and now the car stalled on me while stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and it took numerous tries and it finally turned over.our local dealership had the car for 13 weeks and told us they were able to duplicate the starting issues and then told us a few days later they didnt push the button in long enough so it was there mechanics fault and then tell us they find a draw on the battery and a few days later tells us there mechanic used a faulty meter and then they blame it on our internet, smart tvs, garage door opener and wifi.i am so tired of all the excuses and need a car that's not going to leave me stranded and that i can feel safe driving the car out of town right now that's not the case.i do have several friends and family members that have had to come to my rescue to jump start my car or we have had to call a tow truck to get it to the dealership.we have had two ase certified mechanics look at it and were able to duplicate the starting issues and the battery draining and they both told us to take it to our local dealership.we have lots of video and documentation of what the car is doing and also friends that will speak on our behalf.no one will ride with me anymore in fear the car wont start or stall while stopped in a busy intersection.we started having issues two years ago but got alot worse in may of this year.
Having problems with starting the car at times. It started when on a road trip. We were an hour out from home, had been driving for approximately 2.5 hours. We stopped at a rest area to use the facilities, came back to the car and it wouldn't start, it tried turning over but did not. We received a boost and it started right up. This happens intermittently with no warning. I have been stranded on several occasions. The car was checked out and i was told that the battery, alternator and starter were all fine.i actually drive with a jump starter in the car so that i won't be stranded. It is frustrating to not know what is wrong.
My car does not always start. When i push the start button the lights come on and the car chimes, but it doesn't always start. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a bad starter. I had the starter replaced and it appeared to be working fine. Now, after a month i am having the same problem.i am the original owner and have also had a dead battery twice since buying it. My car currently has about 77k miles on it.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The vehicle failed to start with no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to restart after an hour but failed to turn off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as the starter needing replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer holler honda (2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807 (877)-872-9906) was contacted and a diagnostic appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,774.

Having problems starting the car, keep saying check charge system. Went to mechanics they said there was a recall for the battery sensor, went to the dealer and change the sensor but still saying check charge system. Put the key in everything light but wont start the car. Every now and then it works fine but some days it take time for the car to start.
The starter in the car is not starting until 3rd attempt to start or not starting at all. We have had to wait and try again minutes later then on the third attempt it starts, the battery has been replaced and the connections to the battery are good. This has been happening for about 3 weeks now.
I have honda accord 2013 and it's only 60000 miles and start problem like i just change battery and just started problem for ignition switch and it's hard to turn on may be starter problem but it's only 5 year and it's too early to have that problem
The vehicle steering simply 'shut-down', or locked-up out of nowhere.it appears the power steering system simply failed.i was only able to regain control of the steering by bringing the vehicle to a full stop in order to turn it off and then restart it... As though i were rebooting a crashed computer!the issue repeated itself three times the next day, once while driving at full speed on a public street.we resolved to stop driving it, but by reflex i took it out the third consecutive day only to have the issue recur twice, thankfully none of these failures occurred while we were executing a turn, otherwise we may have crashed into something or someone, as some of the other complaints describe.i have now put the vehicle into storage until honda addresses the issue definitively, as others describe dealership diagnoses across the board, with virtually all admitting the issue was unresolved, even after repair or replacement of the diagnosed component(s).whether i simply have a lemon, or this is a recall issue in the making, i do not yet know, but what i do know is that this appears to be a very serious safety issue rendering the vehicle too dangerous to drive.
At times the car will not start when the ignition key is turned. It willstart on the second turn. On 11/17/2017 , it did not start on the second try. I called for a tow truck . The driver arrived and after turning the key multiple times , the car started. He stated that it is the starter and to have it checked.
Repeated ignition system failure on 2013 honda accord v6 touring with push button startthat left my daughter and me stranded on a night when it was only 13 degrees above zero.push button start only resulted in a grinding noise, no attempt to engage flywheel to start the engine.starter has been replaced twice and the torque converter once (at the recommendation of the dealer to fix this issue) with the same resulting grinding noise and failure of the engine to start.this issue has been reported to honda corporation many times; it is a poorly engineered and faulty design that they refuse to acknowledge and cannot fix.
Intermittent starting problems. Car has new battery and alternator is good. Please see same complaints online. One time i drove home from work for about 15 miles, turned off car in the driveway, tried to start the car and wont start.
The windshield washer motor stopped working.
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 damageto my vehicle , shrubs,neighbor'spatio and my balcony.this was a terrifying event.investigations by insurance co and mechanic arepending at this time.
I have 2013 accord lx 55k miles, and had intermittent starting problem from last few months, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, sometimes it just doesn't start. I leave it alont for about a min or two with key out and then it'll start, sometimes longer. Battery is not the problem and i've already taken to the dealership to have them check the battery and the starting system. Checked out ok, they couldn't duplicate. Anybody else have this problem?now it won't start at all. I found the recall is for v6 models only. What should i do at this point?
The battery loses connection at random times, sometimes during driving, sometimes while turned off and have to adjust sensor to get car to start.
So just like all the other complaints, my car won't start every time i hit the starter button. After i press it it makes a really loud whining sound, i am currently on my 3rd replacement starter, and 2nd alternator. I think it's crazy, after all these complains everywhere that nothing has been done. I gave honda the benefit of the doubt, because of their history of reliability, but this is too much. I need a new starter too actually so starter #4 here i come. This is a serious issue.
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.
Vehicle is a push start. Sometimes it acts like the starter has a problem. Won't crank every time. Vehicle driver side door will not unlock with the key fob. Had it diagnosed at dealership said that the motor in the door went out.
Intermittent starting problems. Depress the brake, push the start button: a click, dashboard lights some on, radio works, starter does not even try to turn over....nothing. After a few tries, the car starts just fine. Car was stationary when trying to start.
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
My car has just gone beyond the 36,000 mile warrantee & is now having difficulty starting. When the start button is pushed, all i get is some warning lights. It will start after 6 - 12 attempts. It does not seem to matter if the engine is cold or warm. Three different people have experienced this problem when starting this vehicle. The problem has lasted weeks & is still present. It looks like the repair will cost about $600.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the push to start feature failed without warning. In addition, the instrument panel lights illuminated normally; however, the vehicle failed to start. When the vehicle did start, it took approximately ten previous attempts. The vehicle would no longer start at all. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (honda cars of katy, 210021 katy fwy, katy, tx 77450) where it was diagnosed that the starter failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted directly; however, the contact wrote a letter to the ceo. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.
I push the button but the car does not start. All lights turn on, battery works great. The starter won't engage and engine won't crank.car was in parking mode and stationary.
The car is having starter issues.randomly will start and then won't.there are thousands of complaints about this on the internet.same make and model, same issue. The system or starters are obviously defective and should be recalled.this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time for us- at least a year or more.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While the vehicle was parked, the contact had to depress the start button multiple times to start the ignition. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact associated the failure with technical service bulletin number: 16-002. The vehicle was taken to walser honda (located at 14800 buck hill rd, burnsville, mn 55306, (952) 388-2231), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Apparently, honda has been using wiring harnesses that are coated in some sort of soy based material in an effort to go green. Unfortunately, this has resulted in an unwanted consequence of rodents being attracted to my car. They are constantly trying to chew through the wires and this can result in a very expensive repair bill from honda. This is something they did to the vehicles they manufacturer, and the fact that they're making us vehicle owners pay for the repair bills is unacceptable to me, but what can you do? i've read online this is not just affecting vehicle owners in rural areas, but owners who live in cities like i do. So far, i've had to use some bitter apple spray that only causes the rodents to try nibbling elsewhere in the engine bay.i don't have any pictures, but i can take some upon request. I'd hate to be driving when something fails.
Start button issue on 2013 honda accord.periodically, the start button does not start the car.it sounds like static.the car eventually will start after multiple attempts.i noted many complaints of such a similar problem on cargurus.com web blog.my car only has 42,000 miles.the dealer said it was the starter and it has been replaced at a cost of $1,018.61.
The vehicle has an electronic power steering problem. The car was being driven and the car eps light came on while i was driving at about 30 mph and coming of the highway ramp. I lost control of all steering and almost caused an accident. This car cannot be considered safe at all. I was not able to drive my car afterwards and was forced too without power steering because i have to drive to work. If this is not a safety hazard i dont know what would be considered then.
I had about 3 to 4 times that the car doesn't start at first time this year. Those times, i had to try four or five times. Now i think of it it started to happen after replacing the recalled part, battery sensor on 3/23/2018. On 9/10/2018, i tried so many time to start the car but had to towed to honda dealer to take a look. Next day, i was told the starter needed the starter replacement costing $850, and my car only has 35600 miles on it.
2013 honda accord caught on fire in our complex on sunday 6/9/2019.the car was stationary for about 4 hours prior to the vehicle catching on fire. We were called by our neighbor that the car was on fire just before 4pm that day.when we got back, the fire department had just put out the fire.a police report was also filed. The car is also is part of an active recall for the battery sensor.we received 2 notices (august 2017/feb 2019) and i was told each time that the car was not part of the recall.i have filed a claim with my insurance company along with opened up a case with honda.i also filed a consumer complaint against honda for a defective car.no one was in the car at the time it caught on fire but the vehicle is a total loss as it destroyed the entire front end of the car.my insurance company along with honda will be sending out their fire inspectors to identify the origin of the fire to determine liability.
On jan 24th, 2013 i took my car to the honda dealership for a problem with my power steering. The eps (electric power steering) system indicator came on and off several times and lost power steering during those times.the problem has been intermittent. The honda dealership tried to fix the problem 3 times. On feb 5th, 2013 the intermittent power steering problem seemed to be fixed. Then on aug 21st, 2014 the power steer problem started again. I returned to the honda dealership and honda tried again to fix the intermittent power steering problem.on aug 22nd, i drove my honda accord out of the dealership and had to turn around and bring it back because the cars'eps (electric power steering) system indicator light came on and off again and i lost power steering during that time. I'm now waiting to see if the intermittent power steering problem can be found and fixed. Since i bought my car the smart entry system indicator light has turned on and off intermittently without an adverse effect that i know of.i know an intermittent problem is hard diagnose and fix but i'm starting have less and less confidence in honda the company that manufactured my car..updated 11/03/14
I have 2013 accord exl 40k miles, and had intermittent starting problem from last few wekks, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, sometimes it just doesn't start. I leave it alone for about a min or two.battery is not the problem and i've already had it tested. Took it in for service, they couldn't duplicate. Anybody else have this problem?what should i do at this point?
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact experienced difficulty starting the vehicle. The contact stated that the starter was too new to have to replace so soon. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.
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.
My center console has been getting stuck. The screen itself gets stuck in reverse and has now the side camera has gotten stuck as well. The bluetooth is also messing up and the usb messed up my phone. There is something majorly wrong with the electrical in my car. It all started when i would start my car and the radio would switch to the cd player and i wouldn't touch anything. Then the backup camera screen would get stuck and now the side camera and now the bluetooth. I'm done! this is my 4th accord out of 5 cars. I know a lot about cars and this isn't right. It has been to the dealership numerous times and they have updated it and said it would be fixed and it isn't. Fix the thing or lemon law it. It's going back into the shop tonight, so lets see!
My driver side air bag turned on and has been on ever since also when i press on my breaks the the locks on the doors make a clicking noise
Vehicle is 2013 and i have replaced the started and battery 4 times due to engine failure, it turn on and immediatly dies off, my car has been towed 6 times or more since i bought, i have done all the maintenance all the time and computer never identifies this problem. I am so tired of this trash car, i stillowe on it or else i would just park it on the front lot of a dealer and put a big sign saying do not buy honda accords, many problems always. Lastly, i asked the driver for the tow truck which kind of cars he tows the most due to engine failure and he said, laughing "hondas"...first time it fail to start was at 54k miles.
2 items- was there an air bag recall? & starter push button malfunction, it doesn't start at times when pushed, it's getting worst, i'm up to over five trys and now it feels like i'd be stuck at any location. It started about two months ago. Someone on youtube claimed that there was a recall on the 2013 accord push button starter.
Bought this car at the end of its 3 year warranty 2 years ago.i immediately had to have the starter and battery replaced (09/16).car began not starting when the push button is engaged, starter was replaced again in (03/18).now in september the car began taking 5 or 6 presses of the start button to start.dealer replaced the battery (09/18).one week later the problem began again and the starter was replaced again (10/18).
Vehicle intermittently wont start when start button is pushed.
@31000 mles,trunk lid no longer responds to key fob. Opening trunk requires inside lever action. Estimated cost to repair seems out of reason for a part that failed while car was in garage.
Hesitation when moving forward.it bumps three to four times on low speeds.
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.
I purchased new a 2013 honda accord 4 cyl in august 2013 which had the battery sensor replaced at 26,010 miles in october 2017.shortly thereafter, i started experiencing an intermittent starting problem. When i turn the key, the dash lights turn on as normal, but the engine does not turn over or even crank. While this does not happen all the time, it happens frequently and it can take between 2-6 tries before it finally starts at home or anywhere i traveled.aaa jumped me once too.dealer said to switch keys as it may be the immobilizer sensor in my key.then december 2018 at 32,935 miles, dealer recommended i replace the battery which i did, but issue continued, july 2019 at 36,555 miles, dealer performed diagnostics stating the starter was bad but there wasn't a recall and it's more than 36 months so out of warranty.dealer does not apply the cost of the diagnostics against the repair.total cost for diagnostics, starter and tax was $889.47.plus the dealer sold me a refurbished starter with a 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty stating a new starter only carries a 12 month warranty.almost $1k is a lot of money for one repair for a senior citizen for a car with 36k miles.appears this is a common issue so honda motor co should recall the starter and provide reimbursement to those who had to have it replaced to avoid being stranded.
When driving all of a sudden power steering fails all the lights on the dashboard flash on and off and all the electrical's shut off including heat/ac. Everything goes back to normal after a few seconds. This happens randomly and at various speeds.
After my 100,000 maintenance in september 2020, my honda accord began having problems starting.since then, i have replaced the battery, the alternator and starter.when i start the car for the first time of the day, it starts. After parking the car after i have gone some place, the car will not start.then, i have to keep pressing the electrical start button until the car starts. So far, at times, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to re-start the car.i reported the situation to honda usa on 02/01/2021 and they said there are no recalls on this vehicle so they cannot help me. However, honda usa did start a case for me.my wife and i do not want to get stranded after driving some place.after reviewing the internet, the electrical starting system is a major issue for the 2013 honda accord.honda usa says you cannot believe everything on the internet.see carcomplaints.com.something needs to be done because it is a safety issue.
I recently had a very serious issue with my 2013 honda accord regarding unintended acceleration.while pulling into a parking spot at a garden nursery i applied the brakes but they did not respond in anyway, the engine then revved up making a loud noise, the car lunged forward over several railroad tie barriers, bushes, hit a truck that was parked in the lot and came to rest in a mulch pile.luckily the truck and mulch stopped the car and i was able to put it into park and turn it off.there is considerable amount of damage to the side of my car and the property of the nursery. This happened on may 8, 2014 at 5:00 pm.it was a gravel parking lot, dry sunny day. This honda was purchased new in 2013 and is a 4cyl with cvt transmission and has approximately 13,000 miles.the car had to be towed to the dealership where it sits now waiting for a honda representative to investigate this issue.it was a blessing that no one was standing in front of my car.much of my decision to purchase a honda was because of reliability and safety; however, i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.this is my first honda and i am thoroughly disappointed and alarmed after this incident.
The contact owns a 2013 accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to immediately start when the push to start button was depressed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer sons honda (105 sons dr. Mcdonough ga ) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. The starter was replaced however, the failure recurred.the manufacturer was notified of the failure. No further assistance was provided. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 98,000.
At 61xxx miles the vehicle began to no longer start reliably.sometimes i would push the start button and it would start normally and sometimes i would just hear a single click but the engine would not turn over.when the engine would not start it would sometimes start if you retried it, but usually it would only restart after multiple pushes of the start button.some days i could not start it after 20 or more attempts.after about a week of this when i finally got it started i drove it to my local mechanic's shop and left it for them to deal with.they diagnosed it as a bad starter, replaced the starter and now it works ok.i had tested the car battery and it had 13.6 volts.i tested the key fob batteries and they had well over their advertised 3v .i read the honda accord forums and found many, many people with the same symptoms.i believe this is the 6th honda i have owned and never replaced a starter on any of them - 3 or 4 of them have gone nearly 200k miles with no starter problem.judging by the number of people who have reported bad starters in the first 75000 miles i would have to say honda, was either trying to save money by using cheap starters or has a bad supplier for their starters.whatever it is, they are putting their customers ind some very inconvenient and potentially dangerous situations.
When i started my car today i got a blinking light on the dash that looked like a battery.i looked it up in the owner's manual and it said "battery not charging" and to "contact the dealer immediately for repairs".i'll call them tomorrow.about a month ago, my car wouldn't start.i had to get it jumped and later took it in.they replaced an under dash relay.my car has been ok otherwise.
Push button start is acting up. At times when you push button to start the car it only clicks, after a few tries the car will start. I have seen several complaints on this. Honda has admitted to an issue with the v6 model but not the v4 model that is having the same issue
The starter grinds or spins at startup. The issue is similar to https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/sb-10088442-2280.pdf . It appears other honda accord models are also impacted. I have honda accord ex
(from the service department's invoice on 08/09/16) 2 sensor one wires chewed on byrodent shorting pcm. Triggered shut off. Replaced sensor. My complaint is that the wires were not vinyl but were soy and that's the cause of the problem. The car had to be towed to the dealer for repair. Since the car was out of warranty, i was charged $422 to replace the sensor. I want a refund. I understand that there is a class action law suit against honda over the issue of the soy coated wires. ( my husband, roy baker, is most familiar with this issue.)
My 2013 honda accord touring (29,262 miles) will not crank nor start. There has been no previous problems/warnings, just wouldn't start one morning. It's parked in my garage. I put a new battery in the key fob although the other one was working to see if that was the problem. When i press it the car unlocks as normal. The interior & exterior lights comes on and the directions of how to start the car still show. The car is in park, i put my foot on the brakes & press the start/stop button. There is a slight beeping sound and a few lights showing in the dash, but it won't start. When i press the button again the accessory mode comes on as normal. The radio plays, my phone connects, the navigation system works, lights works fine, etc. When i press it once to turn it off, all the lights in the dash light up, the ac comes on, & all the pre-programmed warning lights come on one by one with a beep. Finally i press it one final time to turn it off. So everything works fine, it just won't start. This leads me to conclude that the starter has gone out like multiple complaints i've read. I'm currently waiting for the dealer to verify that. After only 3 years & 29,000 miles, i should not be having these problems. And i definitely should have to pay $700-$800 which is estimated starter replacement cost.
Vehicle has had to be towed twice in the past four months due to failure to start, only clicking sound. Before completely unable to start, i would have to try 3 or more times for it to start. First time i changed the battery anvehicle was ok for a while but then started failing to start intermittently and would only start after several attempts. I do not mind replacing the starter but it bothers me because the vehicle is only 3-4 year old and believe replacing the starter may not fix the problem in the long run as it would have to be replaced with the same starters that are failing. Please help. Thanks.
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 went to crank my car, which was perfectly fineyesferday , and it wont turn over and there are several lightson and clicking and blinking. I thought it might be the battery and tried to jump it off and nothing changed. A symbol that looks like a steering wheel and exclamation point, low tire light,brake light, and skid control symbols were all on.
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.
Having trouble with starter. Takes about three to five times before i can get my car started..my car was in park,this isnot the first time this has happened to me.it's been going over two months.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the starter misfired and tended to be started multiple times before it responded. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (heritage honda in baltimore maryland) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty had expired. The manufacturer offered to pay half of the replacement cost. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
The car has a push button start.sometimes the starter on the car does not work properly.attimes, the car fails to start for 5 to 10 minutes and indicates that the starter system is not not working properly.it also indicates that the power is still on.even after the ignition is off, the power is still on. On june 27, 2019, i had to pay $773.84 to replace the starter.this problem has been going on for months.the car only has 51,562 miles.the problem started before 50,000 miles but happened infrequently.over the months, the problem grew worse.now the car may not start in the evening but starts immediately the next morning.getting stranded is a definite risk.the danville honda dealership in virginia said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing a lot of them.there are also discussions on-line about the problem - community talk.therefore, honda should replace the starters free of charge.
Starter is malfunctioning. Grinds at first and typically starts on second or third attempt.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start upon turning the key in the ignition. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact to have the failure diagnosed by a dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.
Every time i try to start my car it won't start.i have to try maybe 4 or more times before it will start.this is very frustrating because this car is 3 years old.when i'm at work and go to start the car it stags.this is very disturbing.this probably happens everyday.everything is on but it still takes many attempts to start.i contacted honda about this problem and they said they have been getting many complaints but didn't offer a solution,said they would get back with me.reading other complaints i think this need to be addressed.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. When the vehicle was started, the fcw, ldw, abs, traction control, and power steering warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,000.
My daughters 2013 honda accord has been parked for approximately 2 weeks without being driven. About 2 days ago i noticed all the windows were down and sunroof open, and last week my husband noticed the trunk was open.yesterday and last night the alarm kept going of and lights flashing ,f at first we thought it was the wind.but it contiunued throughout the night. At one point the headlights would not turn off.my husband thought it was the battery so he tried to charge the battery but it would not charge and at one point all of the interior electrical lights even on the drivers console began blinking constantly.
The traction control, brake, power steering and fcw error lights come on while driving. The message states "fcw failed". This happens while driving, parked and on all road surfaces. Even while parked in the garage. All lights come on at the same time.the come on as the vehicle gets to normal operating temperature.
When turning my steering wheel while driving my engine shuts down and restarts. When this happens my steering wheel locks up
The car has intermittent starting issues. I have had the battery and alternator changed and checked and there appear to be no issues there. Online forums suggest that this is a endemic starter issue with honda accords. Sometimes the car will start with ease. Other times it will not start at all. When it does not start i have to jump it, but when i take it to the auto shop afterwards they tell me that there are no apparent issues with the battery or alternator.
Drove car to work from massachusetts to new hampshire in the morning with the car not turning over right away and having to catch on the second try. After work with only 33196 miles, car did not start yet electronics came on had to have it towed to across states to home dealership and find out its the starter that was wrong. After looking it up, this appeared to be a problem which i brought to the dealerships attentionbut all they provide was 2 goodwill discounts that was under 100 dollars to still charge 719 for the replacing of starter for a car that is 5 years old and only 33,196 mile on it.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the starter would intermittently grind preventing the vehicle from starting. The contact stated he would let the vehicle sit for a couple minutes before the vehicle was started. Several attempts were made while starting the vehicle. The contact contacted the dealer kelly honda (540 lynnway, lynn, ma 01905; (781) 595-5252) who informed the contact of service bulletin 16-002. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
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.
Go to start my car and lights and ac work fine. The engine does not want to turn over and takes several attempts sometimes and other times it starts right off. The battery is only two months old and the dealer said it was the starter which is going to cost me $700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the.dealer said that this is way too early for a starter to go out on a 3 year old car with 550 miles on it. I have researched this and have found there are hundreds of people across the u.s. Having this same exact issue. This needs the upmost immediate attention as this is a very costly and detrimental issue and some of us have no money to fix this!!! this must be dealt with now before lawsuits start happening!
I purchased my 2013 honda november of 2013 at rock honda in fontana, ca. When i first purchased the vehicle it had to be jump started, which i thought was from the car sitting so long & it being so cold.(this should have sent a red flag). After a few months & then the car began to act like it did not want to start.i was then stranded on the freeway. I called honda care. The first driver came to my car took two minutes tried to start it, said there was something else wrong (as he was rushing & did not have time to look) he asked to use my phone charger, left my hood up (which caused dents in my hood from being on the freeway with strong winds) & left. The second driver came & had to give me a jump start & do something with the gas. I brought my car to the dealer upon getting my oil change, explained the problem, & they said they found nothing. Then my car died again. I called honda again & they were sending someone out to jump start it but i walked over to the sears next door & they jumped it. Then it happened 2 days in a row. The first day, the honda care driver had to use two sets of jumper cables to jump my car. The second day the driver had to jump my car again, but this time i recorded it. I then again brought my car to penske honda in ontario where i explained to a service technician what happened & i called honda corporate offices while at the dealership. I told honda corporate about my hood & how many times i had to call honda care. They supposedly opened a claim but never called me back & gave me the run around when i called them. The dealership then did my oil change & checked the car out & found nothing. I then goggled the symptoms of my car & found recall with the fuel system which shuts down the battery on this site. I believe rock honda sold me the vehicle without remedying the recall prior to sale. Honda corporation did nothing.
2013 honda accord won't start.lights, a/c, radio, windows work. This occurred after 50,000 miles.i would have to turn steering column at first to get it to start.now it doesn't start at all!the vehicle is stationary
When attempting to use the push button to start the car,i am unable to start it. All the dashboard lights come on and i get a clicking sound. After 6-10 times trying to start the car it finally starts. Car has 48,000 miles. Has happened a few times.
Early failure of starter.the starter failed within 5 years of purchase (new car) with very low mileage 46k miles.i could not start my engine on multiple occasions.
My 2013 accord is having problems with the push start button. Three separate times in one week our car had trouble starting. It would make a sound of hesitation before starting for 3-5 seconds. We had the battery replaced this past winter. We took the car to our local honda dealer for a check on the electrical and starting systems. They could not find anything wrong. We might have to wait for the car to not start in order for honda to find out what is wrong.
The contact owns a 2013 honda acord. The contact stated that when he was driving the vehiclde down a small hill. Then the abs lights illuminated when he tried to brake. The contact had to angle the wheels to come to a stop on a slightly icy. The contact went to an independent mechanic and they said there was a short in the abs system andreferred him to a dealer curry honda yorktown3845 crompond rd, yorktown heights, ny 10598 914) 739-7600 .they said there were no recalls and said to bring it in. The manufacturer had not been called yet. The failure mileage was 190,000.
Push button start does not function properly.the car is unpredictable because it frequently fails to start when i push the engine button.sometimes it starts on the first try, but i am frequently left trying to crank the car for 5 to 10 minutes.one day it would not start at all but started immediately the next morning.this problem has existed for months and the car has approximately 52,000 miles.i read on 'community talk' that other honda owners are experiencing the same issue.on june 27, 2019, i had to pay over $773.84 to replace the starter.the dealership in danville, va. Said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing all of them.
Basically, my complaint is that i don't feel that my starter should have to be replaced at 36,000 miles...i have only had the car for9 months.. I also had to replace the front pads and rotors too.. Basically totalling $640. In parts and 360. In labor.. I boughtit directly from the dealership.. It has the push button start and it put out a 'grinding sound' when i went to start it, then the front bakes started squeaking also..
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that there was smoke coming from under the hood to the fuse box, which caused excessive smoke. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was included in, but the contact had not yet received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that there was a sudden loss of power and control of the vehicle. While driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle veered to the right and crashed into a pole. The front driver and passenger side air bags deployed with force. The driver sustained a broken right arm, minor bruising, and scratches from the impact, which required medical assistance. The front passenger sustained shock and whiplash, which also required medical assistance. A police report was filed. The insurance company towed the vehicle to a collision center. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure years later. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
My 2013 honda accord touring model electric power steering failed. The car only has 49,000 miles. The dealer states it is no longer a extended warranty issue and will not cover issue. The problem was noticed while driving the vehicle and then taken to the dealer for evaluation. The problem is loss of power steering and/or a sudden increase in steering effort and dealer identified that the electric power steering box needs replacement for a total of $2100.00. For a "new" car this is ridiculous and should be honda's fix not the costumer.
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.
2013 accord fails to start when using either push button start or dealer installed remote start.engine does not turn over, only a grinding sound is produced.it can take as many as 5 or 6 attempts to start before the starter will actually engage and start the engine.starter replaced in accordance with honda tsb 16-002, but the issue continues.issue first occurred when the vehicle had just over 40k miles and has been happeningfor last 18 -24 months and is getting worse.this occurs in both warm and cold weather, and with either a hot or cold engine. Car now only has 64k miles.
Backed out of parking spot, upon shifting to drive, the rear view camera display was black except for two red lines.drove about 60 feet then upon making a right turn i realized there was no throttle response.the engine continued to operate.removed my foot from the throttle then reapplied my foot and the engine was then responsive to the throttle.the distance was approx. 20 feet and the time 10 seconds that the engine did not respond to the throttle.this car has many intermittent electrical problems, but this problem could be very serious in traffic.
The vehicle was parked and stationary, once it was turned on the (eps) electrical power system light was displayed on the dash. Steering wheel was then difficult to move or turn. The indicator was constant from that point.
Intermittent problems with starting engine.dash lights come on, but starter does not engage.so far, has started after sometimes extensive operation of the shift lever.has happened multiple times over the past year.
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.
This is a keyless car. Drove to store listing to music on the radio. Pulled into parking spot, put the brake on put the car into park and turned of car. I got in the car put foot on brake and touched button to start car. Put car in reverse, backed out of parking spot and after coming to a complete stop put car into drive and my display said there was no cd. I didn't touch any buttons and i was not playing a cd when i parked i didn't have a cd inserted in the cd player. This same problem happens on and off many times.
There three warning indicators that come on my dash and will not go off. The indicators are the power steering sensor, the tire pressure monitoring system and the vsa engaged indicator. I have 4 friends with honda accords ranging from 2013 - 2015 and we have all experienced the same issue. When i talk to a mechanic as well as honda no one knows why these indicators are illuminated. No issues can be found to why these lights will not go off. The vehicle starts in the am and these lights are not on and when i drive about 30 miles these lights come on and stay the remaining time. These lights stay on, highway and street driving as well as sitting stationary.
For the last month i have to put the vehicle key into the ignition 4-7 times to start the vehicle.today, i took my vehicle to pep boys auto partsin el paso, tx and they diagnosed the vehicle having problems with the starter.the mechanic told me that i need to change the starter because it is wearing out and is a rarity because it is not suppose to happen to a honda accord that is only 3 + years old.i have a 2011 chevrolet tahoe and all engine parts are operating normally. Unbelieveable that my honda accord is breaking down on me.please look into this and let me know if there is a recall.
Error: keyless entry issue. Battery on both key fobs have been replaced with fresh batteries. This is a common problem on honda accords and honda pilots. This issue happens daily, even with key with-in 6 inches of ignition.. This issues 1st started occurring within 2.9 of when warranty went out. It was reported to dealer 1 day after warranty went out.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the start button had to be pushed several times before the engine would finally start. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sunset honda, 12250 los soso valley rd, luis obispo, ca) where it was diagnosed that the starter was faulty and needed to be replaced and the torque converter needed to be rotated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact was informed by the dealer that the manufacturer's tsb number: 16-002 was for the same failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.

The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
Push button stair tee has repeatedly not worked.the power goes on, many icons light up, and when i push the button to turn it off, "power is on" message appears.the power stays on; i cannot turn it off. The fob battery is fine, the "battery management sensor" recall has been done, and it still happens. At least six times in the recent past this has happened and then after i leave it alone a while, it has started.today it started after i waited an hour which was really difficult as i was out of cell phone reception areas.i am taking it in monday. I hope it starts or i will have to have it towed.i see there are hundreds of similar complaints.isn't it about time for a recall? see previous complaints for analysis of the problem with the ignition/starter that should be fixed by honda.
The i4 engine will not start intermittently. The battery is new and fully charged. Many times, i get it started by straightening the steering wheel. The car is 4 years old with 51k miles so outside of warranty. The dealer wants a diagnostic fee to test other components. This is potentially dangerous to consumers for the electrical component but also a consumer hazard in terms of safety not to mention t reputational risk to honda.
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 received a recall notice and the dealer "auto nation honda of chandler az" has not returned any of my calls to this fixed. Dealers phone number 480_505_5185 service the mike bradley. I have had numerous electrical problems with this car. Thank you
Starter problems:changed battery twice within 40k mileage (odometer reading)the last time they changed battery it was by honda said my battery is not good and reason because something in the electrical withdrawing power and killing the battery and after4 days at honda dealer and charged me over $600 they could not identify the problem (they said)...in fact they said we think in the radio maybe!well after 6 months i found out the problem was not what they say but in the starter!the starter cause this issue until it finally the starter went dead!i open the starter myself and its definitely the starter causing this and i thought to bring it to your attention.honda must known about this for sure!these condition it caused when its stationary.but so much pain.you drive the car and then you park and then when start nothing, painful experiences. It happened in may occasions,since i bought the car from dealer and until december 8 that is when i open the starter and saw this to for sure its the starter problem that cause battery to die early and honda could not identify the problem at all until finally the starter wen dead.i am an engineer and confident its from the starter.i leave the matter to you to check and decided.thanks
Since purchase in 2017. We have had to get roadside assistance multiple times to jump the battery because vehicle wouldn't start. We have spoke to honda that perhaps this vin# vehicle should have been on a recall...but not included on a the 11/8/17 kgo recall. We then turn to local pepboys to do a 1st diagnostic on 10/2/2018 and showed damaged battery and so we purchased a new battery and then 2 weeks later on 11/2/18 had to have two jump starts that week and we returned to pepboys for a 2nd diagnostics that pinpointed something causing battery damage. Installed a new 2nd battery which brings us to where we are currently. In conclusion, we are fearful as we drive this vehicle and park and worry that we are going to be left stranded some where when we go to crank vehicle or worse a fire due to some electrical short. We believe that honda should provide a voucher to take vehicle to local honda dealership at their cost to determine the root cause since they should know their vehicle the best.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that that the air conditioning failed and blew hot air only. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The failure was located at the air conditioning condenser, which was fractured due to road debris. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure and current mileage was 7,700.
Car not starting. Having to jumpstart periodically. Replaced battery even though battery registered good. Realizing it's in the electric start switch. I built these cars, i'm troubleshooting now. Have read several complaints about my exact issue. Bought it new, highway miles between oh and fl. 69k. Shouldn't be having this issue. Always serviced and maintained. I don't feel this should come out of my pocket. First time i experienced it, was out with friends, paid for a taxi to get home, jumpstarted next day to get it home. The several other times, i was in my driveway and was able to jumpstart it here. It's in the electric start. Purchased battery 3/9/19, still having difficulty with it turning over. $164. For a new battery. Which i knew it wasn't battery, fianc had it replaced worrying about me being stranded. I can see this is going to be a problem for me. I first noticed it july 2018. Wouldn't start in oh, i thought i had just left my trunk open too long while packing.
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.
I had to tow my car home today. It wouldn't start. I have had trouble with it in the past weeks now but it would start eventually. But not this time. I might lose my job because of this car failure. Weither it was stationary yes but could of been blocking traffic.
For the last year, the car has been unable to start after parking it for a few minutes. Usually after a few key turns it will start. A month ago it would not start at all so we towed it. The dealership decided it was the starter. After 37,000 miles? it's a honda! it worked fine for 5 weeks and then it died again after being driven just a few miles. This time the dash lights flashed and clicked for a few minutes but would not start. After towing it, the dealership hooked it up to a jumpstart and it started! three lights continued to flash so the dealership hooked it up to the computer. I called them a couple days later and they have no answers. I hate letting my wife drive an unreliable vehicle.
While driving 7/15/16 the electric steering warning indicator light went on, and the steering wheel became impossible to turn or steer until it finally ceased to turn (total time for complete loss of steering capability was less than 1 min.).i was driving on a 4-lane city street traveling at about 45mph.i turned the vehicle off for about 3 mins. And then restarted it.the indicator light was off and the steering worked fine.i immediately drove to a honda dealership who told me the car is probably fine as it had a software update installed 9 mos. Ago and if it happens again i should bring the car in for replacing the steering box.i requested a note be made in my car repair history.they did not provide me with any paperwork.
In the few years i've had my car, which i take very good care of and have low mileage on, the power steering stopped working suddenly while i was driving (very scary and dangerous!), the driver's side sun visor broke one day when i was trying to put it back up, and the dashboard sensors go off unnecessarily. Very disappointing from a honda vehicle. Beware!
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While the contact's spouse was driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that aaa was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to honda of concord (7650 bruton smith blvd, concord, nc 28027) where it was diagnosed that the battery and starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000.
I own a 2013 honda accord lx and it has started having intermittent issues starting. The battery is two months old and has been check and it's fine.starter has been checked and its fine.car will start sometimes on first try, but other times takes several attempts. Turning steering sometimes helps, turning off all lights sometimes helps and pressing gas pedal sometimes helps, but issue is not consistent.see others are having same type of issues on several forums.
Intermittent start button not engaging. New battery, new batteries in both fobs. Usually occurs after initial start when you have driven, stopped at a designation, even just to gas up. You press start button, all lights come on, you turn it of and usually on the third attempt it starts.
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.
Car caught fire starting in engine compartment.was stopped at a stop light, in left turn lane, when smoke was first noticed.i got out of the car and fire progressed in a few minutes to where flames were coming out from under the hood.local fire company extinguished the fire.car appears to be a total loss.safety recall nhtsa 17v-418 was only recently received and had not yet gotten the car to the dealer.
My 2013 honda accord 4 door was working great.until i took it for a battery censor recall at. Honda of rock hill,sc indecember 2017.my keyless switch was not working properly.battery on car was replaced and battery on keys were replaced as well.took it to honda of rock hill, on 2/2018, they stated it was the starter.?? went on youtube and internet and this has been happening a lot to 2013 honda accords. But there is not a recalled. Called and open a case with honda of north america they wanted to know if starter failed was caused by recall.called dealer and technician could not determine if failed ofstarter was caused by changing of part in recalled.
Starter failure described in honda's tsb 16-002.car exhibited a grinding noise upon trying to start.it would fail to start.this was an intermittent problem.honda finally replaced the starter but was unwilling to warranty the known problem.a year later i am having the same problem.
My vehicle shut down while parked in an plaza on pembroke road at the beginning on march 2015. This happened again x 2 while the vehicle was parked (engine running) on separate days. The last time it happened i was driving along pines boulevard in peak hour traffic (tuesday april 21st 2015), as i approached the intersection of hiatus road and pines boulevard, i started slowing down for a red light. The vehicle then shut down/stalled again. The fact that there was a red light helped to prevent and accident, as everyone driving in the same direction had to stop. This time i had to call for a police cruiser to stand in place until i was able to get a tow or get it started again. After about 30 minutes, i finally got it started again and made it home. I took it to a honda dealer on wednesday april 22, 2015. They were able to replicate the issue but after replacing the battery (4-23-2015), fuel pump (4-24-2015) they said that the issue still persists and is now getting more frequent.they (autonation honda in miami lakes) have been trying to 'fix' the problem but they have not yet succeeded. Today is may 3rd 2015i am asking that the ntsb looks into this issue, as the last time it happened i was in peak hour traffic, this issue can lead to an accident.. I also contacted honda corporate customer service and reported the issue. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start. The vehicle was taken to coast honda (2110 nj-35, sea girt, nj 08750, (732) 974-2211) and received an interim repair per nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system); however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The contact was informed that the manufacturer would notify vehicle owners when the final remedy was available. The contact was concerned that the failure could recur. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 22,464.
On three occasions over the past two years the 2013 honda accord 2.4l sedan would not start. The first time aaa changed the battery. The next time aaa determined that the battery was fine but the car reacted with a fast clicking sound. Pressing the brake pedal would not work and the gear shift would not move out of park. The third time we left the car for about 15 minutes and then it started.each time the car was left in the on position, in one case charging a cellphone, in another case listening to the radio.in the past i have noticed the smart entry system light come on and off but was told in one case (by a honda service rep!) that they could not detect a problem and noi code was registered.they said i would have to bring it in when the light was on but it is intermittent.i was wondering if there could be interference from my other car's remote key or my cell phone so i have been moving those to the back of the accord. I have attached screen shots from the warning light and two websites/blogs with many people who have problems that may be relevant.here are the links to those sites:http://www.continentalhonda.com/blog/honda-dashboard-warning-lights-explained/https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/smart-entry-system-light-is-on.125729/page-3https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t43926_ds666390thank you
While driving to chicago (2 hours away) with my wife and 11 year old my maintenance minder light came on to tell me it was time to get an oil change.since it was a sunday i couldn't take it in.i couldn't make an appointment until 7/16 to get in for an oil change.on 7/16 i sat in my car to go home, but my dash lights were all lit up.brakes, electric steering, abs, check engine, my speedometer wasn't working and many more lights remained on.i called the dealer and they told me it was safe to drive it over to them although i heard a grinding sound, my brakes were soft and my steering wheel was very stiff.i went very slow since my speedometer or mileage wasn't working at all.the next morning my dealer called and claimed that a rodent was the culprit who chewed on some main wiring harness of the entire car.i find this hard to believe because why didn't it happen after the oil light came 2 days before?why didn't my wife's suv get affected by this?this is a huge quality control issue that honda needs to fix.what would have happened if all of these lights came on while i was driving my family on the highway?

During the winter i started having issues with my car the bad battery sensor drained my battery had to buy a new one. Then i find out from honda that i have a recall on that battery sensor still was having issues with the car going on. Finally got the battery sensor changed and now the starter is not working. This sensor is becoming costly for me first a battery and now a starter. This is ridiculous that i have to keep dishing out money for problems with my car that has to due with a faulty sensor that was recalled.
Error lights on dashboard come up (lots of them) and in the center it states "fcw system failure". Honda trying to charge me $1,600 to fix the errors and apparently this is happening to a ton of people. Clearly something that needs to be recalled
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.
Starter failure, starter just clicks.i have the same starter problem as all the other compliants for a 2013 honda accord.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at a stand still at her residence, the forward collision avoidance and lane departure warning lights illuminated. The contact stated two weeks later the tire pressure measuring system, electronic power steering and abs warning lights illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to local dealer nelson honda located at 2500 greensboro rd, martinsville, va 24112, (855) 910-6219, where it was diagnosed with needing vsa (vehicle stability assist) module to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.*dt
Starter issue that is affected by not engaging due the heat of the engine or other heat source i.e. Oil pan or exhaust system.i drove my honda accord 2013 about 60 miles then turned the car off and came back and the engine would not turn over. Only sound was one click as you turned the key. Triple a was called and they said the issue was not battery related as the battery itself was under a year old and the voltage measurement was 12.81, measured : 535 cca, rated: 500 cca at a temperature of 98. Also the test for low cranking amps was 12.48 volts, 13.4 amps. The charging system test showed 12.64 for both loaded and unloaded. The service technician said that it was a starter issue that was affected by the heat of the engine or other heat source i.e. Oil pan or exhaust system. After cooling the engine starts without a problem.
Intermittent starting problems. Required new starter.
Push button start is acting strange when i push button to start the car it only clicks then second try it mostly starts. This problem has been started about three months ago nowadays it is happening 3 or 4 times in a week.
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.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.
My 2013 honda accord ex started experiencing problems with intermittent starting around 45,000 miles. The dealership is aware of the starter problem, but charged me over $800 to repair it with a new starter button.i was told without repair this problem would get worse till the car would not start at all.
Battery sensor. Recall fixed it once. Same issue reoccurred on 7/20/21 and it is melting the fuse box making it unsafe to drive

Two months after the purchase, the navi went outon 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.
I noticed several weeks ago that the car would not start at first attempt and today (01-25-18) my 2013 honda accord failed to start completely. I have about 50,000 miles on it and i feel that this problem should not happen since the car is not very old. Now i have to pay about $900 to have it repaired because a new starter is needed. Hopefully, the car was in the parking lot of my local library so no accidents happened. The only reason i have this car is for its reliability but now i have second thoughts.
I 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 andi 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 alarmgo on went i was driving .
Push button starter doesn't work nearly every day.today july 9 2019 it wouldn't start 3 times.everything freezes (steering, brake) but all lights light up.there are 1,000's of people that this is happening too...so far only when starting.
Pulling into a parking space, stopped before i could put the car into park, the vehicle lunged forward into a brick wall before stopping.prior to this incident on 4/28/14 the windshield was replaced due to a crack in the windshield after this the ldw (lane warning device) didn't function properly.4/30/14 another windshield was installed and the ldw did not function properly.i was told to have the camera on the rear view mirror recalibrated, before i could have this serviceperformed the accident occurred.
Starter issue that is affected by not engaging due the heat of the engine or other heat source i.e. Oil pan or exhaust system. Driving my honda accord from lake mary to fort meyers beach where i pulled into a rest area near rubonia fl, parked the car and turned the engine off. I came back to the car and proceeded to insert my key and nothing happened. Luckily there was a state farm road ranger in the rest stop and he moved his truck to mine and proceeded to give me a jump. Once the jumper cables were on, the car turned over without an issue.
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 nowi 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 carbut i have to drive because it is still a car to get me to work.
The honda has been intermittently starting for the past month.when you initially try to start there is a click and if you try again often 3-4 attempts it will start.summer months this is very frustrating the vehicle has a battery sensor recall and since the recall this has started to occur.
Recently had the recall for the battery sensor done on the vehicle. Next day the car has intermittent problems starting. Returned to dealer battery tests good alternator tests good. Was told needs new starter and that honda is aware of starter problems this model . Vehicle will work fine one day starts fine then next day takes five to ten tries to start. Problem was induced only after bms sensor recal. Never had issue prior honda tells me its not the sensor
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.
I purchased this honda used in august 2016.the car was still under warranty when 2 months later the starter began to malfunction.it would take several tries of pushing the button for the car to actually start.october 2016, the battery and starter were replaced under warranty.february 2018 i had the battery connection recall fix performed, and immediately after began having starter issues again, not even 18 months after having it replaced.this car has 55k miles on it at this point and will be on its 3rd starter.i am refusing to pay for this repair and getting away from this brand.
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.
My car is facing no starting issues several times a year even though i have done every single maintainance on time at the dealership. This time the dealer told me it is a bulletin 19-034 and need a software update. This could be very dangerous if it happened on the highway. Fortunately, it happened in a small park and i was driving very slow. There is always some starting issues of my honda accord since i bought it. I went to the dealership several times every year. Sometimes the dealer ask me to change battery and sometimes the dealer aksed me to change all kinds of fluids. I have changed every single fluids, pcv valve, brake pads and rollters in the car almost yearly and the no start issue is still happening. I feel it takes me too much time and cost me several thousand of dollars every year is too much. Also, if the turnoff happend on the highway it is very dangerous. I am hesitate to take my kids in the car since the problem. Very annoying. Also, the software problem should be solved by the manufacturer free but they are charging me every single time.
Having "grinding" sounds when trying to start the car, heard this is a common issue for multiple 2013-2015 accord owners. This is a intermittent issue that doesn't let the car start. Last time it happened was 07/28/2020 but it had happen multiple times in the last year.
Started in june after weather consistently over 80 degrees... While trying to start car have to push start button several times before car will start. Problem is intermittent.
60,000 miles car would not start. After several attempts it started ok. Again a few days later tried to start and would not. Bought a new battery and worked ok for a couple days. Getting worse and worse and now instead of once a week it's 4-5 times a week. Took to honda dealership in leesberg fla and they told me i was putting "cell phone" to close to key fob therefore blocking signal to ignition. The next day i replaced key fob and did not have cell phone anywhere close. Car would not start. After now knowing if car would start or not and dealer telling me unless it happened "all" the time they could not fix. Got on the internet and it said that everyone is having this problem and honda has a defective starter. I took car to have new starter installed and have not had any problems since. I find it strange that the honda "dealer" was not aware of this and i had to research info thru the internet to find the problem and don't know why honda does not repay the customer and or have a recall on the starter. My problem is now fixed with the installation of a new starter!

Went for lunch, and parked my car on the street. After finishing lunch, about half an hour later, got into the car and proceeded to start it. Everything worked, but the car immediately shut off (radio and ac would stay on however). Tried again, but the same thing happened. Followed by a check engine light warning, and tire pressure warning. Took key out of ignition, waited a minute, before trying again. This time, turned off radio and ac. Car immediately shut off still. Tried 2-3 more times, and car finally started, all with a total of 4 warning lights. Check engine, tire pressure, power steering, and another one i cannot recall. Took it the dealer immediately, and waited 2-4hrs for them to tell me, the throttle body needs replacing. They advised it wouldn't be safe for me to drive the car home, so they gave me a free rental until it can be fixed.
Vehicle stall, failed to accelerate . The stall is common and honda needs to fix this issue before someone gets into an accident . I went to honda and no issue was found, i am thinking this might be fuel pump recall.
Hesitation when moving forward.it bumps three to four times on low speeds.
When pushing my ignition button, my car won't start, it makes a chocking noise. This chocking noise happens one to twice daily for the last several months. The car usually starts after two tries of pushing the ignition button. This ignition failure can happen failure can happen first thing in the morning or even when my car has been in use all day.
To begin with i've had to change my battery atleast4 times(one time it exploded with battery acid)in the last 2 years. Also 6 different lights in the panel are on(brake/abs/tire pressure/a steering wheel with an !/maintenance/power steering. I recently purchased 4 new tires from firestone and got the car alignedthe mechanic said he tried to reset the notification on the dashboard but it wouldn't turn off. I also had a family mechanic put it under the computer which diagnosed an electrical issue. Another issuethe car is having is it short circuits my head lights when it rain, which means i'm replacing them almost monthly. The car tends to shake when its stopped but only if the ac is on. So in conclusion after reading this recall in credit karma i am sure my car needs to be repaired

The vehicle steering simply 'shut-down', or locked-up out of nowhere.it appears the power steering system simply failed.i was only able to regain control of the steering by bringing the vehicle to a full stop in order to turn it off and then restart it... As though i were rebooting a crashed computer!the issue repeated itself three times the next day, once while driving at full speed on a public street.we resolved to stop driving it, but by reflex i took it out the third consecutive day only to have the issue recur twice, thankfully none of these failures occurred while we were executing a turn, otherwise we may have crashed into something or someone, as some of the other complaints describe.i have now put the vehicle into storage until honda addresses the issue definitively, as others describe dealership diagnoses across the board, with virtually all admitting the issue was unresolved, even after repair or replacement of the diagnosed component(s).whether i simply have a lemon, or this is a recall issue in the making, i do not yet know, but what i do know is that this appears to be a very serious safety issue rendering the vehicle too dangerous to drive.
Had gotten back in my car after a stop at a retail store. When i turned the car on the tire pressure light was blinking, the electric power steering light was on, and the vehicle stability assistlight was on. I pulled over at another store within a half mile. I got out and checked the tires for a possible flat - no problem. Turned car back on and same scenario with the 3 lights on. Only difference was the tire pressure light stopped flashing but stayed on continuously. I looked in car manual, page 6 of honda technology reference guide, under the heading of malfunction indicators and it said, "if an indicator remains on, there may be a problem; see your dealer".i will call my car dealer in the morning. I want to state that i still had full control of my power steering. I read of others losing the power steering but mine was okay. After the second stop the 3 malfunctioning indicator lights went out.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the low beam headlights did not work properly. The contact had to use the high beams to see when driving at night. The contact also stated that the stability control activated without warning and engaged the braking system. The vehicle had not been diagnosed by the dealer or a mechanic. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileages were 4,000.
Car clicks before starting, cuts off while driving, steering locks when car cuts off. I drive a considerable amount of time on the freeway with my family. This is a very dangerous situation to the lives of myself, family and other drivers on the road. This is a daily occurrence.speed varies when this happens. Sometimes it occurs from a cold or warmed start.
It so far has happened to me twice that i need to jump-start the car. There probably has some electrical leakage issues or something related to it.the first time it was more than a year ago that when i came earlier to a doctor appointment waiting for the clinic to open, i turned off the car and left the cd player on. But it only played for about half an hour or so it turned off automatically due to the battery power has already been depleted and the card could not start at all that i had to call aaa after the doctor appointment to jump-start for me. I thought at that time it was due to the cd player took too much power so i did not complain about it.but the second time it was a few weeks ago on sunday, which give me the concerns that there must be some electrical leakage on my car. After parking for the church meeting and turned off the car, both my wife and i decided to open the window a little bit to let the air flows in the hot weather since we parked under acovered parking and would not worry about possible rainfall. So before we open the doors, we opened both front windows a very little bit and left for the meetings. Then about 3.5-4 hours later when it was time to go home, we found out the car would not start, and we had to ask for help to jump-start it again. This time it gave a definite guess that there must be some electrical leakage in the car.i also complained in early june of this year about the steering wheel lock issue. I received a mail from honda to fix it, but when i call the dealers, none of them even offer loaner cars for such recall and manufacture failure repairs.honda is bad for things like this.i don't know whether i should purchase honda again in the future.i never complained once for my toyota for years. Even they schedule for manufacture recalls, which i never encounter myself, i did not have to worry about the loaner car.
Takata recall my complaint is about abs pump anti-lock brake part modulator assembly sedan cvt fits 13 accord 503036 the lights are on in the dashboard and in the dealer told me to replace that part.
When i stopped for paying toll, car displayed engine light and steering safely light with jerking sound,not accelerationand steering g locked for few seconds and then released .i pulled the vehicle to parking lot and stopped...i started the vehicle after 3 minutes ... There is a rattling noise in the engine and (fcw) warning came... Says fcw system failed . I left the car at parking lot and towing back to dealer tomorrow... Not safe to drive as the accelation is very erratic and consistent ...traveling with my kids and scared of losing control of the car... It is on interstate 294 close o'hare airport .. Christmas day and all repair shops closed
Car was in drive of home, started car and all warning lights stayed on. Would not clear. Drove vehicle to dealership, brakes were barley operable, car was sluggish and power steering almost non-existent. Could have been very dangerous had this happened on the freeway. Dealership first replaced the battery, clearing the codes for a few minutes, the next day they are replacing a bad vsa module that control the abs and other safety functions of the car. The accord only has 67k miles and these sensors are 1700 plus dollars. Researching, i have found a great deal of these failing -usually when the honda is in motion. I was fortunate mine was stationary at the time.
My 2013 honda accord touring model electric power steering failed. The car only has 49,000 miles. The dealer states it is no longer a extended warranty issue and will not cover issue. The problem was noticed while driving the vehicle and then taken to the dealer for evaluation. The problem is loss of power steering and/or a sudden increase in steering effort and dealer identified that the electric power steering box needs replacement for a total of $2100.00. For a "new" car this is ridiculous and should be honda's fix not the costumer.
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.
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 andi 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 alarmgo on went i was driving .
My 2013 honda accord touring (29,262 miles) will not crank nor start. There has been no previous problems/warnings, just wouldn't start one morning. It's parked in my garage. I put a new battery in the key fob although the other one was working to see if that was the problem. When i press it the car unlocks as normal. The interior & exterior lights comes on and the directions of how to start the car still show. The car is in park, i put my foot on the brakes & press the start/stop button. There is a slight beeping sound and a few lights showing in the dash, but it won't start. When i press the button again the accessory mode comes on as normal. The radio plays, my phone connects, the navigation system works, lights works fine, etc. When i press it once to turn it off, all the lights in the dash light up, the ac comes on, & all the pre-programmed warning lights come on one by one with a beep. Finally i press it one final time to turn it off. So everything works fine, it just won't start. This leads me to conclude that the starter has gone out like multiple complaints i've read. I'm currently waiting for the dealer to verify that. After only 3 years & 29,000 miles, i should not be having these problems. And i definitely should have to pay $700-$800 which is estimated starter replacement cost.
Pulling into a parking space, stopped before i could put the car into park, the vehicle lunged forward into a brick wall before stopping.prior to this incident on 4/28/14 the windshield was replaced due to a crack in the windshield after this the ldw (lane warning device) didn't function properly.4/30/14 another windshield was installed and the ldw did not function properly.i was told to have the camera on the rear view mirror recalibrated, before i could have this serviceperformed the accident occurred.
I currently have the front collision warning and lane departure failure readout display along with the following yellow service lights; fcw, ldw , esp, abs, electronic steering and tps lights activated.the front collision warning, lane departure safety feature, anti-braking system and electronic stability are not working at this time as i drove to the dealership this morning while it was snowing (vehicle obviously in motion). I"m currently waiting for resolution from the dealership and american honda corporation.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at a stand still at her residence, the forward collision avoidance and lane departure warning lights illuminated. The contact stated two weeks later the tire pressure measuring system, electronic power steering and abs warning lights illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to local dealer nelson honda located at 2500 greensboro rd, martinsville, va 24112, (855) 910-6219, where it was diagnosed with needing vsa (vehicle stability assist) module to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.*dt
During low speed driving (approximately 30-40 mph) and squeakingnoise was emitting from the right rear tire.prior to this, the power steering warning light, anti lock brake warning light, anti skid warning light, all illuminated.when the car was diagnosed at dch honda, temecula it was reported that the right rear wheel bearing was broken / falling apart.it was stated by the mechanic that the car would not be safe to drive until the bearing was replaced and that this was covered under the powertrain warranty.however, there was no previous notification (technical bulletins, recalls) on this issue.drivers beware.the mechanic informed me that there was significant "play" in the rear wheel while attached to the hub.if the bearing came completely undone, the wheel could come off while driving.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving at an unknown speed, the forward collision avoidance warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to john eagle honda of houston (18787 northwest fwy, houston, tx 77065, (281) 528-1165) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle stability assist modulator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 118,000. The vin was not available.
2013 honda accord sedan, v6, touring modeli 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).
It was a main road that was recently repaved. It is a main road. It is asphalt. I was driving at night. It had rained all day but was not raining at the time of crash. There is traffic on this main road so i was going about 25 miles per hour. Suddenly the car accelerated and went right. I hit a parked car and my car flipped over. I was cut out of the car and taken to the hospital. I have cuts and bruises but i am otherwise ok. The airbags worked. What i am concerned about are the tires. Original equipment goodyear eagles. The best guess is the car hydroplaned. I have read on the internet these tires tend to do this. I can't prove it was the tires but i want to go on record that i believe these tires are dangerous and should be recalled. They are original equipment on many new cars.if there are enough complaints like mine maybe it will be the smoke of a starting fire.
Two weeks ago my accord began having issues starting. After a few attempts the engine would eventually start and i would be on my way. Until last friday, august 26, 2016. I drove to a friends house, parked, came back out to start my car and would hear a "popping" sound like the engine was trying to start up, but to no avail. Friend's neighbor is a retired auto mechanic. He looked at the car and found that the issue was not the battery, and determined it was the starter itself. Almost magically, the car randomly decided to start again. Drove it straight to an additional auto mechanic, he tested the vehicle (battery, cable connections, wires that attach to starter) and also found that the issue was the starter. My accord has 66,000 miles on it. The total cost to fix this issue will be $680, kind of ridiculous. This seems to be a common issue from what i've read. Please investigate.
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.
Vehicle is 2013 and i have replaced the started and battery 4 times due to engine failure, it turn on and immediatly dies off, my car has been towed 6 times or more since i bought, i have done all the maintenance all the time and computer never identifies this problem. I am so tired of this trash car, i stillowe on it or else i would just park it on the front lot of a dealer and put a big sign saying do not buy honda accords, many problems always. Lastly, i asked the driver for the tow truck which kind of cars he tows the most due to engine failure and he said, laughing "hondas"...first time it fail to start was at 54k miles.
Car caught fire starting in engine compartment.was stopped at a stop light, in left turn lane, when smoke was first noticed.i got out of the car and fire progressed in a few minutes to where flames were coming out from under the hood.local fire company extinguished the fire.car appears to be a total loss.safety recall nhtsa 17v-418 was only recently received and had not yet gotten the car to the dealer.
My 2013 honda accord burning oil, i got an oil change 4 month ago,its no oil leaks or anything my oil life is 70%. However when coming to a complete stop my oil light comes on and no oil in dipstick. Now this happened four times no oil in dipstick first time in 64008 miles on 05/26/18 and the second time in 71689 miles on 01/03/19 and the third time 75000 miles 03/20/19 and fourth time 80000 miles on 07/13/19. I went to honda dealership twice to check my car and dealership say no issue and i did two engine oil consumption test first time in 64008 mile on 05/26/18 and the second time in 71689 mile on 01/03/19 and all passed and dealership say no issue. I do not want my car engine get brooking or fire. Please i need help.
When i start up the car it wouldn't start. The light, acc, radio everything turns on but the engine wont start. I try several times but it will not start, i got out the car lock it, them i decide to try again and them it started. I bought the car in may 2013 this is the 3rd time it happen same exact way. Also a buzzing noise coming from the radio or bluetooth. I took it to the dealer they could not found anything wrong with it. The battery was fine according to the dealer.
Upon acceleration from a stop or a speed under 15 mph, the car occasionally hesitates for 2-4 seconds.nearly have gotten t-boned several times when making a left turn well in front of approaching traffic.have been to dealer three times.they installed a hardware/software to the cvt to no avail, but have been unable to duplicate, as it typically happens about once a week.this is definitely a safety issue.
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.
For the last year, the car has been unable to start after parking it for a few minutes. Usually after a few key turns it will start. A month ago it would not start at all so we towed it. The dealership decided it was the starter. After 37,000 miles? it's a honda! it worked fine for 5 weeks and then it died again after being driven just a few miles. This time the dash lights flashed and clicked for a few minutes but would not start. After towing it, the dealership hooked it up to a jumpstart and it started! three lights continued to flash so the dealership hooked it up to the computer. I called them a couple days later and they have no answers. I hate letting my wife drive an unreliable vehicle.
I own a 2013 honda accord sport, 4 cylinder earth dreams engine with 65000 miles on it. There is a very known issue with excessive oil consumption and oil burning in these earth dreams engines. The piston rings are faulty causing oil to be burned in the combustion chamber. Honda had a recall for this issue in 2008-2012 and this issue is happening in my vehicle. Prolonged oil consumption can seize the engine due to no oil being left in the engine to lubricate it. This needs to be addressed asap as this oil consumption issue has never been rectified. This engine is burning 4 quarts of oil in 2500 miles..there is black soot and the end of the tailpipe, which is a clear indication of oil burning. Honda beeda to address this issue with a recall to replace stuck or worn piston oil rings. Repairs for this issue are over 3000 dollars. This cost should not be passed on to the customer due to faulty parts or faulty engineering
So just like all the other complaints, my car won't start every time i hit the starter button. After i press it it makes a really loud whining sound, i am currently on my 3rd replacement starter, and 2nd alternator. I think it's crazy, after all these complains everywhere that nothing has been done. I gave honda the benefit of the doubt, because of their history of reliability, but this is too much. I need a new starter too actually so starter #4 here i come. This is a serious issue.
Starter is bad will not start brought car to a mechanic. He recommended me to get a new starter. Checked battery and alternator well within working parameters.
After accord ex-l with 2.4l engine & cvt sits overnight in garage it does not back out normally. Must press accelerator to get movement. Normal just taking foot off brake & vehicle to roll out on own. Press accelerator to get car to go, rpm's increase & transmission feels like slipping when backing into the street. Shift to drive & cvt slips until travel ~100 feet. Then cvt seems to respond normally to accelerator. We have to back into street with blind hill so this is definitely a safety issue. Took car to honda dealer for this sporadic, recurring problem on 4/16/13, on 11/12/13 & left w/ dealer for few days & on 02/10/14 & left w/ dealer 9 days. Car was driven by service personnel & service mgr. They could not get car to duplicate problem. I opened case w/ honda in ca on 02/07/2014 and discussed w/ their rep, [xxx] opened case no. [xxx]. As dealer could not duplicate problem, [xxx] closed case &said honda would keep on file & reopen if necessary. [xxx] said he had checked with their engineers & claimed they have no record of this issue with accord. If all other complaints about this problem were closed when they couldn't duplicate problem it makes sense they have "no record" of problem. Also seems very convenient to fall back on "no record" and "couldn't duplicate" excuses to relieve honda of any liability for what could cause accident. My wife also had same problem. Internet search yields sites that reference same problem in 2013 accords. Carcomplaints.com 5 complaints listed for cvt slipping. Edmunds.com forum section on accord has a report of owner of 2013 accord who got cvt to "slip" w/ the svc mgr with him. Owner said he & mgr took a brand new accord off lot & duplicated problem. Yet when svc dept put his accord on computer it would not show a code so svc mgr told him it was "normal". Same as i was told. Most importantly this is a safety issue.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My care is consuming oil.
Trouble starting car. Changing battery did not help.
Bought 2013 honda accord sedan sport on 06/13. I just reached the 32000miles and my starter is slipping and causing me to turn the ignition a few times before it starts. I strongly believe there may be a fault on the product or installation of part.
Early failure of starter.the starter failed within 5 years of purchase (new car) with very low mileage 46k miles.i could not start my engine on multiple occasions.
I got in my car this morning and couldn't get it to start again. I had to call aaa to jump my car.
I've own my car for for 1 and 1/2 years and it's dead for the 4th time i had the battery replaced a month after buying the car and am still having problems with it i don't know if it is the starter? it was parked at work for 4 hours then i moved parking spots and shut it off turned back on 10 minutes later to close windows and it's dead.
Ongoing issue.sometimes when i start my car in the morning, or when leaving the office in the evening, and put it in reverse and give it gas the engine revs, rpms go up, but the car won't go.i will roll down my driveway (it's on an incline), put the car in drive and still have the issue.then, without warning, the car will respond to me giving it gas and take off.this is a very dangerous issue!i have almost collided with my neighbor before because of this.took it to the dealership where i was told that they can't duplicate the issue so they can't check it.if the car won't go, how can i take it to them while i am experiencing the issue?
Vehicle shudders/shakes on acceleration, especially with eco button on.noticeable downshift while decelerating. I was told that this "is just how the car drives" and that the car "reacts to how the driver drives it".was told by the dealership that the new cvt transmission has had many complaints about the shuttering/shaking on acceleration.
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.
Oil or fluid leak between transmission to engine mating surface.
These 2013 earth dreams honda engines need to be recalled for excessive oil consumption. There are known issues with bad piston rings in this engines that cause over excessive oil consumption, which can lead up to engine seizure. Honda has not addressed this issue which is affecting many 2013 owners. Mechanics have made videos on youtube stating the same issue. Please open an investigation to get these engines recalled so people don't have to spend upwards of 5000 dollars to replace their engines when this issue should be fixed by honda. You need to issue a recall for these engines.
2013 honda accord v6exl starter makes grinding noise when being started.sometimes takes multiple trys to finally turn over and start engine.brought to dealership but they said they could not replicate the issue. Only offered to replace entire starter system for $900.
When attempting to start engine of parked vehicle, nothing happened when key was turned. Took several attempts to start car each time. Starter had failed and was replaced.
I purchased 2013 honda accord on oct 2012. The car has only 3,000 miles on it.recently my car has engine oil leaking from engine gasket seal. Honda has serious problem with engine oil leaking.
Unable to start vehicle.push button, lights blink, clicking noise but car will not start.sometimes works after waiting 1 hour or more.
Intermittently, maybe 30-50 times in total in the 112k miles i've driven the car, when you depress the brake and push the start button, all the dash lights come on, but the starter does not turn. There a noise of an electrical switch turning in the dash, but i don't think it is the starter solenoid.i replaced the battery, but that didn't help.i've read of a brake switch not telling the starter it was okay to start, but haven't checked that.i've read honda replacing the starter, but i haven't done that.some posts say replace the start switch.
Push button start is acting up. At times when you push button to start the car it only clicks, after a few tries the car will start. I have seen several complaints on this. Honda has admitted to an issue with the v6 model but not the v4 model that is having the same issue
I have a honda accord 2013 (just 2 years old) with 59209 miles on it.car sometimes clicks and will not start.sometime it will start after about 5 to 10 tries, or waiting for a while.sometimes the car starts fine on the first try.i talked to honda of america on 7/20/2015 and they said it might be the starter or ignition going bad and should be covered under the 5 year/60k power train warranty.i took it to the dealer yesterday and they diagnosed it to the starter motor and replaced it and said that it is not covered under the power train warranty.i then talked to honda and they said that they are sorry for the misinformation i received and it is not covered under the power train warranty.the new car warranty is covered only by the 3 yr/36k which ever comes first.the car is only 2 years old and the starter motor shouldn't go bad.
When starting the car with the push button, about 50% of the time the engine does not start, there is a noise like static. Looked on the internet and it appears that many many people have this problem on the 2013 accord. 99.9% of the time they have to replace a defective starter at $800. Honda should step up and resolve this dangerous situation where the car does not start. This really is a safety issue.
My new 2013 honda accord ex-l has a push button start/stop.while driving with my foot on the gas and the car in drive (its an automatic), if you accidentally push the engine start/stop button, it cuts the power to the engine. So you can effectively turn the car off, loose power to the engine and loose the power steering while the car is in drive and you are driving.i believe this is a severe safety issue, since you would not be able to do this to a car with a keyed ignition while you are driving.additionally, the engine start/stop button is right next to the air conditioning buttons. I was trying to adjust the air conditioning while i was driving and couldn't take my eyes off the road to look at the air conditioning buttons.

Takata recall starter motor (mitsuba) (v6)starter grinds or spin at startup
Driving on the highway at 60 to 65 mph, grinding noise inside the engine compartment. At cruising speed (65 mph) release the gas pedal to maintain my speed. Then tap the gas pedal lightly to get back on speed, there is a loud grinding noise inside the engine compartment. I start noticing this around 8000 miles on the car. Car now has 13,200 miles. This was reported to the dealer , but honda is saying it is normal. Grinding noise inside the engine compartment at that speed is not normal. This can be a safety issue done the road, grinding noise is caused by two objects rubbing at each other, one day this objects will wear out and fail. Ive been trying to explain it to honda, but no resolution. I'm hoping nhtsa can help
When i turn key ignition car doesnt start, i have to turn key back and forth for it to start
Went for lunch, and parked my car on the street. After finishing lunch, about half an hour later, got into the car and proceeded to start it. Everything worked, but the car immediately shut off (radio and ac would stay on however). Tried again, but the same thing happened. Followed by a check engine light warning, and tire pressure warning. Took key out of ignition, waited a minute, before trying again. This time, turned off radio and ac. Car immediately shut off still. Tried 2-3 more times, and car finally started, all with a total of 4 warning lights. Check engine, tire pressure, power steering, and another one i cannot recall. Took it the dealer immediately, and waited 2-4hrs for them to tell me, the throttle body needs replacing. They advised it wouldn't be safe for me to drive the car home, so they gave me a free rental until it can be fixed.
Takata recall. I was checking under the hood of my honda and i checked my oil level and there was not a drop of oil in the engine. I didnt know why this was so i changed the oil fast to prevent the engine from damaging. Now 1400 miles after my oil change the engine is half way dry of oil. My car is a 2013 honda accord with only 42000 miles on it, it should not be burning oil.
Battery terminal corrosion - the factory battery had severe corrosion problems after 2 yrs (unlike any of my other 3 cars). On the third year it died and was replaced with a aaa battery. After 6 months this battery is also showing corrosion. This seems to be a common issue after doing google searches. What's worse is the positive batter cable is not an easy nor economical replacement once the corrosion finds its way inside. I believe the corrosion is happening because of the 'smart charging system' honda is using on this vehicle. Never seen this problem in my 30+ yrs of owning dozens of cars.
My care is consuming too much oil. Oil light warning does not come on.
Shortly after purchase, i noticed that sometimes when turning a corner and then trying to accelerate, the engine falters as though it is going to stall, but it doesn't.the car now has about 2500 miles on it and this has happened dozens of times, but not always, when turning a corner.it doesn't matter whether or not the eco system is engaged or the a/c is on or off.i spoke to a service rep at my honda dealer who said other owners have reported the same issue, but that it is just a characteristic of the vehicle and that there is no fix for it.i think this has the potential to cause an accident if i can't accelerate ahead of on coming vehicles or the car stalls.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that after the vehicle was parked, the vehicle could not be restarted. The battery and the electronic starter were replaced several times however, the failure persisted. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
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.
Heard growling sound from engine when coming to a stop, occasionally during acceleration at low speeds and during cold start. Went to dealership and issue was found to be due to low engine oil (3 quarts low) . Had the oil changed about 6000 miles before this issue occurred.
Oct 11, 2016, i drove the kids to school and parked the vehicle on the street.after walked then class, i returned to the vehicle.the car did not start on the first try, second try, but it started on third try.since purchased, i replaced battery twice due to the above reasons.i had battery checked and it's still good.please investigate.
The starter intermittently grinds/spins when starting, replaced starter and problem still happens.multiple complaints to the problem on line.have located honda's service bulletin tsb 16-002 but honda claims my vin not covered by extended warranty.
Since i had the car when i pushed the start button the car made a grinding noise and would not start.i figured it was the starter and dealt with it.i recently had my brakes fixed and the mechanic said it was the fly wheel.i looked on line and saw numerous complaints and a class action law suit.there if obviously a defect in the part. The service bullitn was issued in 2013 so my car would have been under warranty.i bought 2 2013 hondas i'm hoping honda will take care of the issue at their expense.i have an appt monday at the dealer[xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While parking, but stopped, the car sped out of control. Foot brake and hand brake failed to stop the speeding car.it leaped over a curb and into a retention pond.the doors refused to unlock. Driver and passenger escaped thru windows and onto the roof.previously, the unattended car had locked itself and windows and sunroof had opened on several occasionsthe two fobs were on cup hooks in the house. Honda shows no interest.
Hen attempting to start engine of parked vehicle, nothing happened when key was turned. Took several attempts to start car each time.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that it took several attempts to start the vehicle. Additionally, there was an abnormal squealing noise. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (lute riley honda, 1331 n central expy, richardson, tx 75080) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
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.
Engine is making grinding/screeching noise when the car starts, every single time. The mileage on the car is just 65,000. Honda dealership does not even know what the issue is. No recall yet.
My 2013 honda accord ex started experiencing problems with intermittent starting around 45,000 miles. The dealership is aware of the starter problem, but charged me over $800 to repair it with a new starter button.i was told without repair this problem would get worse till the car would not start at all.
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.
Push start failuremy car had 50000 miles on it when it started having trouble with the push start button.it did it once a week sometimes and eventually happened every time i tried to start the car.i took it to a mechanic and they were unable to pin point the problem.the starter checked out ok but since they could not find any other problem, they replaced the starter and kept the original incase i continued to have the problem they could return the original and give me my money back.it's been two weeks and so far i havent had the problem anymore.only time will tell.
In early 2019, after my honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, i began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 honda accord.sometimes, my car starts right away.but more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature.when repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, i hear a 'clicking' type noise when i press the start button, but my car does not turn over.after several attempts pushing the 'start' button, my car eventually starts (sometimes after a few seconds and a few attempts, sometimes after many attempts and two or three minutes).the problem occurs randomly, when the car is cold and warm.i never experienced this problem until honda replaced the water pump on my car earlier this year.based on other web posts, this sounds like a common problem with the push button start feature in 2013 honda accords.once my car starts, it runs well.at this present time, i have no other mechanical problems other than the push button start feature.however, my car's failure to start is a safety issue in itself if a car fails to start in a situation where a quick get away is necessary (for example, flood, wild fire, or other natural or other disaster that may require that my car start without delay).
Since last fall, engine does start only after multiple tries of pushing the button. Lately we need a lot more tries before starting the car. Based on the symptoms on file, it looks like it is the starter.
Had to replace the starter as it started going out with just over 51,000 miles on the car
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!
Honda accord 2013,wife was driving and car stuttered and quit in middle of road and then stopped. Had to have car towed to dealer. Car is 3 days old and we where told that the transmission is shot. They are in the middle of ordering a new one to replace it. Fcw system fail flashed on dash.
This started off as an intermittent issue but progressively got worse (twice a day) until honda flashed an update [a2a690] to my car.now it's intermittent again (once or twice a week).the problem always happens from a cold start.the issue is after cranking my car, when i put the car in gear (reverse or drive) the transmission doesn't engage.i can press the gas pedal and the rpm's will shoot up but the mph doesn't move, it's like the transmission is slipping, if i don't let off the gas the transmission will abruptly engage and can be a serious safety issue.the first time this happened i was in the parking garage at work and this issue almost caused me to crash into a parked vehicle.now i have to make sure it doesn't do this every time i put my car in gear.i've been to two different honda dealers for a total of 4 times and they say they can't ever reproduce the issue.here's a link to a video of the issue when i caught it on video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj1qdyjxgte&feature=em-upload_owner#action=share.
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.
Did my routine oil change at hondas recommended 15% oil life since i purchased the vehicle new in august 2013 last year july 2016 went in for an oil change after a few months i was down to about 30% oil life i was driving home i applied the brakes and the oil light came on and i heard a noise coming from the motor i stopped and checked oil it was very low hardly any on dip stick i thought maybe when i did the oil change at dealer they didn't put correct amount of oil so i than did my own oil change topped it off ran for about a minute and checked oil it was filled i than drove it and again the oil was low but this time only with 40% oil life left i took it to dealer few weeks back they did the oil consumption test am waiting to hit a 1000 miles to take it back to them
Tl-contact owns a 2013 honda accord..... Intermittent starting ignition problems..... Contact called honda and honda stated vehicle had no recalls... Contact had called honda earlier today regarding general recalls.... Cb
At times the car will not start when the ignition key is turned. It willstart on the second turn. On 11/17/2017 , it did not start on the second try. I called for a tow truck . The driver arrived and after turning the key multiple times , the car started. He stated that it is the starter and to have it checked.
I have been monitering my oil level consumption and for about 3 different oil changes (6200-6400 mile intervals). My dash shows 40% oil life remaining but when i check the dipstick there is no oil on it at all. It's bone dry. Took the car in for a diagnosis and there are no signs or leaks either. The car is burning through 5 quarts of oil. When asked honda they say this is normal. I have never experienced this in any other car or my of other honda. And the low oil pressure light doesn't even come on until i apply the brakes harder than usual.
2013 honda accord sport is starting to have starting problems, sometimes engine doesn't turn over when first turning the key. And from what i have read on this site it sounds like it is progressively going to get to the point of having to replace the starter, not happy i was hoping on having a reliable car.
Vehicle has excessive oil consumption which has caused the vehicle to run out of oil in between oil changes.this has now damaged other vehicle parts like catalytic converter.
While driving to chicago (2 hours away) with my wife and 11 year old my maintenance minder light came on to tell me it was time to get an oil change.since it was a sunday i couldn't take it in.i couldn't make an appointment until 7/16 to get in for an oil change.on 7/16 i sat in my car to go home, but my dash lights were all lit up.brakes, electric steering, abs, check engine, my speedometer wasn't working and many more lights remained on.i called the dealer and they told me it was safe to drive it over to them although i heard a grinding sound, my brakes were soft and my steering wheel was very stiff.i went very slow since my speedometer or mileage wasn't working at all.the next morning my dealer called and claimed that a rodent was the culprit who chewed on some main wiring harness of the entire car.i find this hard to believe because why didn't it happen after the oil light came 2 days before?why didn't my wife's suv get affected by this?this is a huge quality control issue that honda needs to fix.what would have happened if all of these lights came on while i was driving my family on the highway?
Starter problems, car starts then does not start, stationary
Engine burns oil excessively. Following the maintenance minder oil change schedule, the oil was under the minimum. Car was at around 83000 miles. Since within 5 year dealership asked to do a oil consumption test but car would be out of 5 yr window by end of it. Eventually this issue led to catalytic converter needed to be changed at 98500 miles due to the buildup from burning oil
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 ona brand new car and the oil change was not even due. Its a lemon and needs to be taken care of.
Vtc has been replaced and is bad again, no fix from honda this has been going on 2 years now and cant get any answers to have the issue resolved. Being put off monthly as the engine gets louder by the week
At about 40k miles since i purchased my 2013 accord sport 6 speed mt new, there has been premature starter failure causing me to replace the starter. In addition, the 2.4 l earth dreams engine consumes a quart of oil every approximately 1000 miles. I have had honda's in the past and never had to do this on a fairly new car. I also changed my pcv valve thinking it may be faulty. After doing so, i have the same issue. I even complained to honda several times and expressed my frustration. At about 50% oil life remaining, and if the engine oil is not topped off, the dip stick to check the engine oil will be bone dry. I hope nhtsa will look into the earth dreams engine. This mechanic did an excellent youtube video explaining the issue. Https://youtu.be/tz24wh6ecpe. It is time to force a honda recall on all earth dreams engine before premature engine failure starts happening and honda blaming customers for not properly maintaining the engine when it is a faulty engine to begin with.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the starter would intermittently grind preventing the vehicle from starting. The contact stated he would let the vehicle sit for a couple minutes before the vehicle was started. Several attempts were made while starting the vehicle. The contact contacted the dealer kelly honda (540 lynnway, lynn, ma 01905; (781) 595-5252) who informed the contact of service bulletin 16-002. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
When i start my car in the morning and put the transmission into reverse, i have to depress the gas pedal quite far for the car to start moving. I am on a flat surface in my garage when i do this. The rpms go high and i am barely moving. When i place the car in drive, everything seems fine and the rest of the day there are no problems. The weather is not cold or hot when this happens. Around 70 degrees in an insulated garage.
My honda accord 2013 has a burning oil issue. For every 3,000miles, my dipstick will only have 1/2 or 1/4 from the original top level. I noticed this problem last september 2018 when i to a road trip in fresno. When i checked my dipstick, it hardly had any oil on the supposed level. I dropped by a gas station and poured 1quart of oil and the oil level went up to 1/2 of the dipstick. If i did not put oil, then my car would have been running without any oil and could just stop any moment i was driving. I informed century honda on 12/01/2018 about the problem and powertrain warranty was still in effect. As of today, it appears century honda refuses to address the issue.
Starter needed to be replaced at around 84000 miles
For the last month i have to put the vehicle key into the ignition 4-7 times to start the vehicle.today, i took my vehicle to pep boys auto partsin el paso, tx and they diagnosed the vehicle having problems with the starter.the mechanic told me that i need to change the starter because it is wearing out and is a rarity because it is not suppose to happen to a honda accord that is only 3 + years old.i have a 2011 chevrolet tahoe and all engine parts are operating normally. Unbelieveable that my honda accord is breaking down on me.please look into this and let me know if there is a recall.
Engine continues to burn oil internally.honda dealer tells me that is impossible but acura had a recall for the same issue.oil fan humming, engine overheating.parked before engine locked up.
My vehicle shut down while parked in an plaza on pembroke road at the beginning on march 2015. This happened again x 2 while the vehicle was parked (engine running) on separate days. The last time it happened i was driving along pines boulevard in peak hour traffic (tuesday april 21st 2015), as i approached the intersection of hiatus road and pines boulevard, i started slowing down for a red light. The vehicle then shut down/stalled again. The fact that there was a red light helped to prevent and accident, as everyone driving in the same direction had to stop. This time i had to call for a police cruiser to stand in place until i was able to get a tow or get it started again. After about 30 minutes, i finally got it started again and made it home. I took it to a honda dealer on wednesday april 22, 2015. They were able to replicate the issue but after replacing the battery (4-23-2015), fuel pump (4-24-2015) they said that the issue still persists and is now getting more frequent.they (autonation honda in miami lakes) have been trying to 'fix' the problem but they have not yet succeeded. Today is may 3rd 2015i am asking that the ntsb looks into this issue, as the last time it happened i was in peak hour traffic, this issue can lead to an accident.. I also contacted honda corporate customer service and reported the issue. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I recently had a very serious issue with my 2013 honda accord regarding unintended acceleration.while pulling into a parking spot at a garden nursery i applied the brakes but they did not respond in anyway, the engine then revved up making a loud noise, the car lunged forward over several railroad tie barriers, bushes, hit a truck that was parked in the lot and came to rest in a mulch pile.luckily the truck and mulch stopped the car and i was able to put it into park and turn it off.there is considerable amount of damage to the side of my car and the property of the nursery. This happened on may 8, 2014 at 5:00 pm.it was a gravel parking lot, dry sunny day. This honda was purchased new in 2013 and is a 4cyl with cvt transmission and has approximately 13,000 miles.the car had to be towed to the dealership where it sits now waiting for a honda representative to investigate this issue.it was a blessing that no one was standing in front of my car.much of my decision to purchase a honda was because of reliability and safety; however, i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.this is my first honda and i am thoroughly disappointed and alarmed after this incident.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 126,005.
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
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.

This problem started two years ago and got worse in may.it all started whe we had a rough time starting the vehicle it would take up to 6 time until the car would finally start.we were told it was the battery so we changed the batter up to four time and it still kept having starting issues so then we were told it was the starter so we had it replaced and we are still having issues and now the car stalled on me while stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and it took numerous tries and it finally turned over.our local dealership had the car for 13 weeks and told us they were able to duplicate the starting issues and then told us a few days later they didnt push the button in long enough so it was there mechanics fault and then tell us they find a draw on the battery and a few days later tells us there mechanic used a faulty meter and then they blame it on our internet, smart tvs, garage door opener and wifi.i am so tired of all the excuses and need a car that's not going to leave me stranded and that i can feel safe driving the car out of town right now that's not the case.i do have several friends and family members that have had to come to my rescue to jump start my car or we have had to call a tow truck to get it to the dealership.we have had two ase certified mechanics look at it and were able to duplicate the starting issues and the battery draining and they both told us to take it to our local dealership.we have lots of video and documentation of what the car is doing and also friends that will speak on our behalf.no one will ride with me anymore in fear the car wont start or stall while stopped in a busy intersection.we started having issues two years ago but got alot worse in may of this year.
On cold starts the car intermittently fails to drive with full power.is happening about 10 times a month.feels like car operates with only 20% power & feels like cvt tranny belts slipping.the engine revs up, whines and the car barely moves.honda says "they are aware of problem but have no fix for it at this time."vehicle bought new, has been in for service on this issue 5-7 times with various honda repair centers keeping the vehicle for 25+ days.have dealt with service personnel, managers, general managers and regional managers.the bottom line is this expensive car is broken while honda is unresponsive to resolving this problem.
Car has 52000 miles and car is burning excessive oil. I have read hundreds of complaints about the excessive oil consumption in the 2013 accord earth dreams engines. Please investigate this issue. The 2008-2012 accord engines had a class action lawsuit and i believe another one is warranted for the 9th gen 2014-2017 accord 2.4l models..i am losing about 1qt of oil per 1000 miles. These honda engines are notorious for excessive oil consumption and the owners need help.
At slow speeds the honda would stall. Also happened when initially shifting from park to drive. Rpms would just cut out. Happened 5-6 times. Stalled out while moving through intersection. Called tow company and had them tow to dealer. Dealer replaced computer sensors. I'm not really sure what it was. Vehicle has not had problem since however gas mileage is down significantly since fix. Not happy with mileage. Was getting 35 mpgs on my commute. Now getting 31 mpgs. Over 10% reduction.
The key turns over but engine does not crank
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.
2013 honda accord won't start.lights, a/c, radio, windows work. This occurred after 50,000 miles.i would have to turn steering column at first to get it to start.now it doesn't start at all!the vehicle is stationary
My car is 2013 accord bought brand new from gardena honda and no other mechanic touched it. Since 2013, i have serviced my car at the same location. My car was perfectly fine however, once i received the battery recall letter i decided to take my car into gardena honda. Please note my car still has less than 30,000 miles on it. August 2017 i went to get my car checked for the battery recallthey said everything was fine and that they applied konshi bond to protect bms. Two days later after work my car did not start (stationary). Check engine was on, check steering light on & traction light on plus low pressure on. I immediately felt unsafe to drive my car but had to take it back to honda to see what they had done to it. Honda said it was not their fault and that now the problem had nothing to do with my battery. Instead, it was my engine wire harness. That needed to be fixed for a price of ~$2,800 but they could lower it to $669.15 + tax i just want to express how disappointed i am in honda. I bought a honda because they are supposed to be a reliable car. Back in march 2016 they told me by battery failed the battery test and decided to charge it. November 2016, they made me buy a new battery, at that time my car was still brand new with only 22,000 miles on it. I don't believe this is coincidence. I got a honda for reliability reasons. I also know you are not supposed to service the car for the same issue 3 times and i shouldn't be concern of my 2013 honda car that still has less than 30,000 miles of any electrical issues. I am concern of service fraud because i was charge to recharged and replace the battery. One time i was within warranty and the other was just a few months afterward. I am requesting a reimbursement of some manner; it can be monetary or free servicing my car.
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.
The 9th generation honda accord seemed to have a common issue with premature starter failure and excessive engine oil consumption. My starter failed at around 40k miles. I then noticed after a fresh oil change, and with 70% oil life remaining, my engine is bone dry with no oil and the only reason i checked was because of a low pressure warning light. I have complained to honda that this is not normal. There are no leaks whatsoever. To prevent engine damage, i have to fill in a quart of engine oil for every 1500 miles of driving. I have owned several honda's and never once had any issues like this. I even changed the pcv valve and that did not fix the issue. Honda knows about the excessive oil consumption and refused to issue a recall to replace the piston rings. Almost every 9th generation honda accord owner faces premature starter failure and excessive oil consumption. This is not normal and honda is avoiding this issue and give customers like me the run around to perform compression test etc and adding engine oil for every 1000 miles of driving is normal. I have never heard of such thing unless you drive a high performance vehicle. I hope nhtsa will investigate and force honda to issue a recall and compensate owners who had to pay out of pocket for premature starter failures.
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.
I am the first owner of my 2013 honda accord sport and 2 months ago i developed an issue with the starter. I've replaced the starter twice and tonight got stranded and had to call a tow truck to bring it home. I've gone to the honda dealer and, of course, there's an issue with the starter, but it will cost $1000+ to fix! this issue must be investigated and recalled as soon as possible. Honda is fully aware of all of these issues and if you get the right technician at the dealership - they'll tell you honda is fully aware, but couldn't care less! 2 starters later - i'm still in the same position!
2013 honda accord accord with 81k miles is burning oil about 1quart1000 miles.
Starter motor had progressive premature failure. Began having problems with car not starting about a month ago. Loud click, all dash lights would come on, but no crank or start. Eventually would not re-start and left car stranded. Car started with jumper cables. Dealer diagnosed starter failure. Vehicle is 2-1/2 years old with 49,845 miles. Dealer did not offer warranty repair. Cost for replacement was $724.00.
My transmission fluid was very low so i took it in to the dealership to get it checked out. Prior to this my brother drove my car and said it was not going into gears smoothly. When i took it into the dealership the representative said low transmission fluid can make the car run not too smooth. He did mentioned that there was a notice for a foul spark plug and told me to drive the car for a few days and if the problem doesn't fix itself then to bring it back in so they can look further into the problem. My concern is if i have a recall and i am having problems that could be caused by a faulty spark plug shouldn't they automatically bring my car in and replace the spark plugs? on your site it appears that i have had two recalls for my vehicle. Not once have i been notified by the dealership. This is new to me. I'm not familiar with this process. Can you please give me some guidance? thank you, concerned customer
Takata recall. Nothing has been resolved.additionally, vtc actuator. Honda has repaired accord's from 2008-2012 but not 2013-2016 which have the same issue. Various forums and my own vehicle has the issue. I have videos and sound to prove the same issue that honda is repairing on accord's from 2008-2012 on the service bulletin. The vehicle is stationary. When turning on the vehicle, the vehicle starts with a loud start-up and sometimes when the weather is really cold, the engine won't start. Honda does have a recall for the same issue but for older cars.
The 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.
Starter failed, and we were stranded at the new market post office for an hour.the battery is good, but honda mechanic said the starter is failing.we replaced the starter engine, and the car starts up good every time.it cost $515 to replace starter engine.honda refused to pay for defect, because the car is past warranty.
The engine and transmission have class 1 leaks gasket area.to be more specific, leaks found on engine head gasket and transmission housing area.
I think this might be my 3rd complaint, i love honda and have had honda cars for years, but this has really tested my patience. For the last 4 years i have gone through 3 starters and 2 alternators, every time i contact honda they tell me to drop the car off so they can test it, i pay them $130 so they can tell me what they already know.my problem is that starter issue is very common, and there is no long term fix for this issue. So the issue is back, i end up getting stranded in places for hours at a time, and sometimes even end up being late to work, due to my starter spinning away until i can get it to catch eventually. I took it to get appraised the other day, and it wouldn't start ofcourse, the dealer refused to look at the vehicle ofcourse, because no one wants to sell a lemon. At this point, i am either looking for honda to buy my car off me, replace it, or come up with a permanent fix. If you go on youtube and type in honda starter issue you will find plenty of videos, and i also have reciepts for all the trips my car took to the dealer.i am not going to install a 4th starter, that is that rediculouse, i refuse to go to a honda dealership again for them to tell me what i already know.
This was instance #3 and worst occurrence. Stopped at traffic light, made a left turn when break in traffic,half way into turn engine lagged with no response like it shutdown, then took off. Almost t-boned by oncoming traffic.lag between start of turn and then engine response was at least 2-3 seconds.same issue has happened 2 times before. Both of those instances were right turns on red, with no oncoming traffic. Even though no traffic was coming, the concern is that the lag/dead response worries me and creates a safety issue.have spoken with 3 honda service advisors that have not heard of the issue and because it is intermittent don't know what they could do.they stated clearly that unless they could recreate the issue, it would be difficult to trouble shoot it. I have searched the internet forums and found similar occurrences with other honda owners, not only of the accord but also the crosstour.i believe this is a serious safety issue and deserves investigation.
Along several others, i began having the intermittent starting problems on my 2013 2.4 l accord at around 60,000 miles.this type of starter uses a solenoid to move the starter motor's pinion gear forward to mesh with the flywheel's ring gear while simultaneously pulling the plunger and its copper contact disc onto the battery contact and the starter motor contact to complete the circuit from the battery to the starter motor.when functioning properly, turning the ignition key or starter button should mesh starter's pinion gear with the flywheel and turn the starter motor to crank the engine.the problem with these starters is that the battery-side contact and the battery-side of the plunger contact erode excessively due to arcing and consequent pitting.this intermittently prevents the plunger's contact from contacting the battery-side contact to complete the circuit between the battery and starter motor.when this happens the pinion gear meshes with the flywheel but the starter motor doesn't turn.note that the pinion gear engaging and disengaging the flywheel is the clicking sound heard from under the car during a failed start.this problem was fixed by replacing the contacts which are included in honda brush holder (honda part number: 31210-5a2-a01) which cost me $45 at my local honda dealer.i believe 2013 through 2017 2.4 l accords use this part which suggests that they will, or are, experiencing the intermittent starting problem.one would think honda would have had a recall to fix this problem.
The car burns a lot of oil. 1.5 quarts from traveling 55 miles in the last week.
After service at honda service station at rosenberg, tx... I had issues with the temperature sensor in the front of the grill, also a code showed up 2 days later, along with check engine light... When scanned it was "p0420"...was wondering if, the mechanics while cleaning, used water under pressure to clean, and during the cleaning, did they flood my exhaust... "creating business?""
Hi.i've notice oil leak on my brand new 2013 accord v6 this morning. I already made an appointment with the dealer, but i'm disappointed to see brand new car (especially honda) with this type of problem. After researching this online, looks like more people are having similar issue. I hope this is nothing major and they don't have to replace an engine block like mentioned below.http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=80981[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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, butit 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...
At 5 years old my honda accord will now only start on the first time about 50% of the time. This started about a month ago. The interior lights and radio all power on but the car will not turn over. Sometimes it takes me several times/minutes to start. I had to change my battery $176 & now the key fobs too and this still occurred. This has 411,000 results if googled. This is very common although honda continues to not recognize this as an issue. Please look into this!
Upon start up, all the lights on the dashboard lit up.fcw failure noted on the digital display.acceleration non existent in this state.several restarts (34 was the max), no lights on the dash.car ran fine.dealer diagnosed it as a timing chain that had expanded.seems to be fixed. (only been two days).i think it is a major safety issue because the lack of power could manifest itself at any time.imagine getting on a highway with no power to accelerate.
The engine started excessively consuming oil once it passed 60,000 miles on the odometer.it appears to be burning oil at a rate of 1/2 quart per 1,000 miles.
Starter motor doesn't engage.the motor turns but doesn't make engine turn over.
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.
I had to tow my car home today. It wouldn't start. I have had trouble with it in the past weeks now but it would start eventually. But not this time. I might lose my job because of this car failure. Weither it was stationary yes but could of been blocking traffic.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. On several occasions, while attempting to drive, the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
I purchased new a 2013 honda accord 4 cyl in august 2013 which had the battery sensor replaced at 26,010 miles in october 2017.shortly thereafter, i started experiencing an intermittent starting problem. When i turn the key, the dash lights turn on as normal, but the engine does not turn over or even crank. While this does not happen all the time, it happens frequently and it can take between 2-6 tries before it finally starts at home or anywhere i traveled.aaa jumped me once too.dealer said to switch keys as it may be the immobilizer sensor in my key.then december 2018 at 32,935 miles, dealer recommended i replace the battery which i did, but issue continued, july 2019 at 36,555 miles, dealer performed diagnostics stating the starter was bad but there wasn't a recall and it's more than 36 months so out of warranty.dealer does not apply the cost of the diagnostics against the repair.total cost for diagnostics, starter and tax was $889.47.plus the dealer sold me a refurbished starter with a 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty stating a new starter only carries a 12 month warranty.almost $1k is a lot of money for one repair for a senior citizen for a car with 36k miles.appears this is a common issue so honda motor co should recall the starter and provide reimbursement to those who had to have it replaced to avoid being stranded.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While the key was in the ignition, the vehicle stalled without warning. After twenty minutes, the vehicle returned to normal. The vehicle was towed by aaa to balise honda of west warwick (509 quaker ln, west warwick, ri 02893, (401) 822-2000) to be diagnosed, but no failure was found. The failure recurred. The dealer installed a new battery and starter. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 100,000.
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.
Check engine light keeps going on since the car hit exactly 60,000 miles. Code said it is related to the fuel system. Changed the sensor; light was off and now back on. Continuously occurs while driving the vehicle on the highway or city streets. All gauges are fine and car is maintaining gas mileage. Could it be that the o-ring and fuel tank are only slightly better than that on the original 2013 honda accords (built with faulty fuel tanks) causing the o ring to wear out? how can this be checked. Also just want to note that my wife had a 2009 pilot that kept needed spark plugs and had excessive oil consumption--she got rid of the car because she kept arguing that something was wrong with the vehicle with the honda dealership--honda admitted to the problem and extended the powertrain warranty right after she got rid of the car.
I got no warning and the car would start and then die. I looked on the net and this problem has happened with other honda's. I had run an errand and wasn't gone longer than 5 minutes.-
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.
Engine knocks on start up, knocks only on first start up or when sitting for long periods of time,after that no knock'
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.
I parked vehicle on residential city street. Returned to the vehicle 15 minutes later and vehicle would not start. Many of the indicator lights came on. Called aaa, initial technician responded and could not start the car by jumping with battery pack. Battery tested ok. Tow truck was called, operator tried to jump the vehicle again with battery pack and the vehicle started.tow truck operator suggested i tell the dealership he suspected the starter or the wiring to the starter was the problem. A/c prior to this event had been working now had no power. Drove the vehicle immediately to dealership. Vehicle was left and diagnosed with faulty starter. Fuse was blown to a/c. (we did note that the car had been harder to start recently - having to turn the key more than 1 time to get the car to start. Still this was hardly noticeable or apparent that a problem was developing.) starter and fuse to be replaced at dealership will be picking up car hopefully today.this was not merely inconvenient and unpleasant but extremely dangerous emergency for persons with health/medical issues - it was very hot out with poor air quality and passenger and myself were stranded and without a/c for 4 hours.concerned about this happening again and why this happened. Vehicle is maintained, 3yrs old with approx. 35,000. I am seeing numerous similar/identical reports from other owners.
Apparently many have complained about faulty starters in this particular model, and sure enough i experienced it today. The starter failed. This is from a cold start and it's happened three times already.
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.
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.
I have 2013 accord lx 55k miles, and had intermittent starting problem from last few months, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, sometimes it just doesn't start. I leave it alont for about a min or two with key out and then it'll start, sometimes longer. Battery is not the problem and i've already taken to the dealership to have them check the battery and the starting system. Checked out ok, they couldn't duplicate. Anybody else have this problem?now it won't start at all. I found the recall is for v6 models only. What should i do at this point?
Backed out of parking spot, upon shifting to drive, the rear view camera display was black except for two red lines.drove about 60 feet then upon making a right turn i realized there was no throttle response.the engine continued to operate.removed my foot from the throttle then reapplied my foot and the engine was then responsive to the throttle.the distance was approx. 20 feet and the time 10 seconds that the engine did not respond to the throttle.this car has many intermittent electrical problems, but this problem could be very serious in traffic.
This is car has 54,000 miles on it and uses about 1qt of oil every 1,000 miles! i currenlty have 40% left on my oil change and it was 3 quarts low! very excessive oil consumption!! so disappointed in my first honda.
Pre mature engine oil consumption.
The catalytic converter went out on the vehicle at about 90,000 miles without warning.while the vehicle was driving about 45 mph.
Excess vibration and oil consumption due to vcm operation. Vcm also makes the transmission search for gears while driving at a steady speed
My 2013 honda accord sport experienced engine starting problem. Sometimes it took 3 or 4 times to turn the key to get the car started. I took the car to the sunnyvale honda dealer for diagnostic and they told me it was the starter problem. It costs me $936 to replace the starter including parts and labor. I can't believe that my car is only about 4 years old with less than 40k mileage having the starter issue that needs to be replaced. What a shame with the honda brand!!!
When i start to take off the car stalls our on me for like 3 or 4 seconds, it has almost caused me to wreck a lot of times and my 2013 honda pilot does the same thing
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
This issue stared last week i didn't think too much on this but as the days goes on it take longer for meto start my car and me day i have to stop at lease 2 to 4 times to get the car to start.as i continue to search online to see what was the issue i am seeing more and more of this problem of what i am having. My car has been parked and there is no wires connected to the car to drain the battery, i have change both my car battery in my key battery already.this is very annoying i've been using honda for many years now and i never had this problem. With my other pass honda i would have to turn the key.
Intermittently car starts with starter click noise almost everyday on both cold and hot weather.battery replaced but problem still exist and getting worse.
My family and i were stranded due to our 2013 honda accord not starting. We just came out of the movies and the car was stationary in the parking lot. I turned the key and it would just click. I had to pay for towing and over $800 to have the starter replaced at the honda dealer. It would have been more, but i called another dealer and they price matched the starter. I drive a lot of mile to work so i have over 60k miles in 2 years. After doing a little research i found that this problem is happening to a lot of people. The problem can be seen on forums and youtube videos. This problem seems to affects new cars, base models, push buttons, v6's etc.i think the starter should be recalled because many people are being forced to replace starters that the dealer seemed to know was bad.
There is a hesitation/jerk/shudder when accelerating at various speeds.
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.
I bought this honda accord lx 2013 in aug 2012. About a few months later, i notice the car engine oil level keep decreasing. Then i see there are oil leak marks at the overhead cover where it is tightened to the engine block. In august 2013, i brought my car to nearby honda dealer. They kept my car for two days and said they replaced the gasket. But after one month, i still see oil leaking out at the same spot. Today, dec 16, 2013, i bring my accord back to the dealer. They told me i had to leave my car there until tomorrow (dec 17) while they are ordering another new gasket. I am extremely disappointed a persistent oil leak has happened with a brand new honda accord 2013 !!! i research on line and see this issue also happens with someother 2013 honda accord owners.
Excessive oil consumption:i have a 2013 honda accord with 74,000 miles.i purchased the extended warranty package at time of purchase.the accord engine has started using oil.at the last oil change there was only 1 quart of oil left in the engine.consumption testing did not show 1 quart/1,000 miles so nothing was done by honda.between 2,000 and 3,000 miles of the consumption test oil was consumed at a rate of 1 quart or more per 1,000 miles.honda still did nothing.i called american honda and got no where.i have purchased several honda's since 1987 but will never purchase another because of this willingness to do nothing.i was told to check the oil level every time i stopped for gas.
When trying to start, it makes a clicking sound, doesn't turn over and the dashboard lights flicker. Replaced the battery, but didn't help. Sometimes, after several attempts, it may start, but not usually. Went on "honda blog" and found several same type of complaints. Some believe it may be a starter defect.
Intermittent engine starting. Starter is energized but fails to start motor. A loud gnashing or grinding can be heard as the starter tries to turn motor. It sounds as if the starter doesn't fully engage the flex plate/flywheel. Engine eventually starts after several (as many as 10) attempts. The problem is not consistent with any condition. I've driven 2 weeks with no issues then will have 5 episodes in 2 days. A completely random occurrence but very frustrating and embarrassing.
Two nights ago i wasdriving on i-75back home from work , i was going speed limit 70-75 mph and the car suddenly started "bogging down", didn't want to go above 30 mph and a number of dash lights were on: service engine, power steering, tire pressure and maybe traction control. I turn off the car, turn it back on, and the lights still on. I drive short distance home at 25-30 mph.the following morning i looked at the car, didn't see anything wrongi felted very unsafe from car suddenly slow in the middle of hwy i-75 going from 70-75 mph to 25-30 mph, this happened with out any warning or enough time to pull over the shoulder, definitely a bad accident would happened here.
When i first purchased my 2013 honda accord from the dealership i noticed sometimes the push start would stall or sound like it was failing. Also my driver side door would not respond to my key fob. All other doors respond to it except the driver door. I have replaced the battery and still the issue hasn't been resolved. I have been taking the actual key out of the fob and inserting it into the car door to unlockmy driver side door. Now the ac has began to stop and start. It almost sounds like the fan motor is kicking on and off. And my driver side seat is not sliding back properly. It will began to glide then stop. Then i have to keep pressing and it'll glide back a little and then stop again. Overall i think there is some sort of electrical shortage or something is happening with it. According to the national highway traffic safety administration there was an electrical system recall sent out june 29, 2017. As stated on their website this could result in an electrical short increases the risk of a fire. The nhtsa campaign id is 17v418000 !
I purchased my 2013 honda november of 2013 at rock honda in fontana, ca. When i first purchased the vehicle it had to be jump started, which i thought was from the car sitting so long & it being so cold.(this should have sent a red flag). After a few months & then the car began to act like it did not want to start.i was then stranded on the freeway. I called honda care. The first driver came to my car took two minutes tried to start it, said there was something else wrong (as he was rushing & did not have time to look) he asked to use my phone charger, left my hood up (which caused dents in my hood from being on the freeway with strong winds) & left. The second driver came & had to give me a jump start & do something with the gas. I brought my car to the dealer upon getting my oil change, explained the problem, & they said they found nothing. Then my car died again. I called honda again & they were sending someone out to jump start it but i walked over to the sears next door & they jumped it. Then it happened 2 days in a row. The first day, the honda care driver had to use two sets of jumper cables to jump my car. The second day the driver had to jump my car again, but this time i recorded it. I then again brought my car to penske honda in ontario where i explained to a service technician what happened & i called honda corporate offices while at the dealership. I told honda corporate about my hood & how many times i had to call honda care. They supposedly opened a claim but never called me back & gave me the run around when i called them. The dealership then did my oil change & checked the car out & found nothing. I then goggled the symptoms of my car & found recall with the fuel system which shuts down the battery on this site. I believe rock honda sold me the vehicle without remedying the recall prior to sale. Honda corporation did nothing.
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.
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.
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.
Pebble damage to air conditioner condenser causinglose of refrigerant. Air condition system no longer functions.
Air conditioner condenser damaged due to road debris.vehicle design is poor leaving the condenser unprotected from road debris.grill opening is large with no screen or mesh in front of the condenser.repair cost is $786.honda should include protection of the condenser in its design and perform recall to add protection.owners who have repaired damage should be compensated the cost of the repair.
Traveled from baton rouge to dallas with a cold air conditionand on the way back home from dallas.once i got to opelousas no cold air, only heat blowing from the ac. Richards honda dealership in baton rouge claims that a rock struck my condenser, caused the leak and the road debris is not covered under warranty.my car will be a year old from a new purchase next month, i travel in my car everyday to work and never had a problem with my car in nearly 30k miles, until now. Dealer cost $530. Honda should provide a protector on condensers to keep their reputation regarding a reliable automobile, pay 100% of the fees or at least 75% as honda should rectify this ongoing problem by offering a protector at no cost to the customers and immediately repairing the condenser at no cost to the customer within their first year of ownership, minimum. It's extremely hot in louisiana and i need my air condition to work properly while i travel to work and pay my monthly note on time. I expect this ac to last much longer than 11 months and nearly 30,000 miles.
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.
2013 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to navigation and audio system issues.the consumer stated when he found out there was a software fix for the problems he experienced, he was not able to get any information from the dealer or american honda. After wasting over four hours at the dealership, waiting to get the software update, he was very disappointed to find out most of the problems he experienced were not addressed and that new problems existed. The consumer stated he paid over $2,000 for the navigation system, only to discover the routes provided were not the quickest or shortest routes available.the consumer called the dealer, on august 21, 2013 to find out if there was another software update, but they were unable to give him an answer. The audio system would not display id3 tag information from songs played from the usb port.
During low speed driving (approximately 30-40 mph) and squeakingnoise was emitting from the right rear tire.prior to this, the power steering warning light, anti lock brake warning light, anti skid warning light, all illuminated.when the car was diagnosed at dch honda, temecula it was reported that the right rear wheel bearing was broken / falling apart.it was stated by the mechanic that the car would not be safe to drive until the bearing was replaced and that this was covered under the powertrain warranty.however, there was no previous notification (technical bulletins, recalls) on this issue.drivers beware.the mechanic informed me that there was significant "play" in the rear wheel while attached to the hub.if the bearing came completely undone, the wheel could come off while driving.
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.
I went to pull my visor down and i heard a loud crack noise from the visor.the visor will not stay up anymore, just hangs about 2-3" from the ceiling of the car.went to the dealer and they told me it's not covered under warranty even if it's only a year old.
While using the adaptive cruise control (acc) i was traveling at 75 mph.this system is suppose to reduce your speed when it sees another vehicle in front of you and then bring you back up to speed when the obstacle is no longer present.i was on a 4 lane limited access highway (2 lanes each direction).i was in the left lane. There were no cars in front of me but there was an 18 wheel truck about 150 feet in front of me in the right lane.we were approaching a left curve and on a slight incline to the curve.as we entered the curve the acc sonar detector saw the 18 wheeler in the other lane and disengaged the acc and applied the brakes, without warning.this brought my speed down quickly from 75.this is the second time this occurred in similar circumstances.the real danger here is that there was no reason for the car to brake; the sonar saw an obstacle in a different lane; had another vehicle been following me the surely would have been a crash.i am a former crash investigator.as such, i can tell you this situation will be problematic.fortunately, the car gives you the option of using the acc or traditional cruise control - i have disabled the acc for safety concerns.

Tpm sensor light failure, it stays on
During three hour night drive the dash display dimmed to black at interstate speeds.after an hour or so the panel lights came back on.after a few minutes they went out again.the nextday during the return drivein daylight panel seemed normal.
Driving through town approximately 30mph and 3 yellow lights came on the dash.the pressure ,air tirelight, skid light, and thr power steering per the guide book.my steering remained ok, light stayed on.picked my sister up, all 3 lights came back on.we switched cars and drove hers.my car was parked in her driveway until 3;00pm i had left it there at 6;00am.. At 3;00 started car, power light came on again, steering still ok, light went off a minute later and has remained off.my husband is working the night shift tonight so he is taking my car, i am too frightened to drive it, seeing all these complaints and accidents about this problem. We will see what happens!why is taking this long for a recall?so dangerous for the driver as well as the others on the road!
Driving at night is unsafe. Headlights while on low beam light up 3 to 4 feet above street level while on level ground. There is a horizontal line , the lower side of the line is bright the upper side is pitch black. Night vision further ahead of vehicle is non existent as the upper side of line would dictate distance ahead. Forget about seeing ahead of the car for a safe distance . If a person is standing in the road you would only see his waist on down. Dealer has said there have been more complaints.
When driving all of a sudden power steering fails all the lights on the dashboard flash on and off and all the electrical's shut off including heat/ac. Everything goes back to normal after a few seconds. This happens randomly and at various speeds.
I was driving when a honda accord came toward me from the opposite direction. The daytime running lights were extremely bright and caused temporary blindness when i saw them. It took several minutes for the image of the lights to fade from my vision.
I was driving my brand new 2013 honda accord in the late afternoon as it started to get dark.this was the first time my wife and i had driven the car at night.i was startled to realize that it seemed that someone had put a blindfold over the top portion of our eyes.we could not see above a clearly defined line.below the line; light,above the line; total darkness.i had to turn on the high beam lights to illuminate the road adequately ahead, even at low speed.having to turn off the high beams when encountering on-coming cars was extremely unnerving.the low beam headlights do not illuminate enough to read normal street and information signs nor to see an object, person, or anything that might cross your path. If you turn these lights on in a dark garage you can clearly see this defined line.we called the dealer where we purchased our car and brought the car in after explaining the problem. The service intake manager paged me and told me they found no problem, that the lights were normal for this car.this seemed impossible to us.i asked to speak with a manager and the service director came out to speak with us.he told us he had encountered7 or 8 other such complaints but all were deemed to be normal for the 2013 accord!he finally agreed to personally check-out the problem.he gave us a loaner 2013 accord to drive home.the loaner accord had the exact same headlight functionality!the next day i called the dealer and was put on the phone with the service intake manager who told me that a technician checked the lights and that they were normal and could not be adjusted.i called honda america and was told that if the dealer said the lights were normal then there was nothing honda could or would do. After reiterating that the car was not safe to drive at night, she suggested that i might consider taking it to a different dealer. I will try.
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 thispicture 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.
Headlight assembly is accumulating moisture condensation inside of it.
To begin with i've had to change my battery atleast4 times(one time it exploded with battery acid)in the last 2 years. Also 6 different lights in the panel are on(brake/abs/tire pressure/a steering wheel with an !/maintenance/power steering. I recently purchased 4 new tires from firestone and got the car alignedthe mechanic said he tried to reset the notification on the dashboard but it wouldn't turn off. I also had a family mechanic put it under the computer which diagnosed an electrical issue. Another issuethe car is having is it short circuits my head lights when it rain, which means i'm replacing them almost monthly. The car tends to shake when its stopped but only if the ac is on. So in conclusion after reading this recall in credit karma i am sure my car needs to be repaired
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

This has been doing for years on and off. Has gotten worse recently on more than not lately. Also the steering wheel has been locking up when i start my car.
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!
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."itsimply "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).
My 2013 is at 38,000 miles and i smell fuel when the vehicle is being started. I show a recall for this issue but when i enter my vin# it says my vehicle isn't in the recall. Something is going on and i think it needs looked into. If this is the same issue that caused the recall for some models, it's odd that it's also happening to mine but my vehicle isn't in the recall.
I had been experiencing stuttering with my vehicle while accelerating.brand new vehicle and issues began at approximately 500 miles.took it into the dealership and the service tech acknowledged the issue but claimed they ran full diagnostics and assured me that the vehicle was in perfect condition. Two weeks later, while driving the vehicle at approximately 20 mph, all of the warning lights came on and when applying pressure to the gas pedal, the car would not accelerate.had to have the vehicle towed and direct injection system replaced.

Ongoing issue.sometimes when i start my car in the morning, or when leaving the office in the evening, and put it in reverse and give it gas the engine revs, rpms go up, but the car won't go.i will roll down my driveway (it's on an incline), put the car in drive and still have the issue.then, without warning, the car will respond to me giving it gas and take off.this is a very dangerous issue!i have almost collided with my neighbor before because of this.took it to the dealership where i was told that they can't duplicate the issue so they can't check it.if the car won't go, how can i take it to them while i am experiencing the issue?
I purchased my 2013 honda november of 2013 at rock honda in fontana, ca. When i first purchased the vehicle it had to be jump started, which i thought was from the car sitting so long & it being so cold.(this should have sent a red flag). After a few months & then the car began to act like it did not want to start.i was then stranded on the freeway. I called honda care. The first driver came to my car took two minutes tried to start it, said there was something else wrong (as he was rushing & did not have time to look) he asked to use my phone charger, left my hood up (which caused dents in my hood from being on the freeway with strong winds) & left. The second driver came & had to give me a jump start & do something with the gas. I brought my car to the dealer upon getting my oil change, explained the problem, & they said they found nothing. Then my car died again. I called honda again & they were sending someone out to jump start it but i walked over to the sears next door & they jumped it. Then it happened 2 days in a row. The first day, the honda care driver had to use two sets of jumper cables to jump my car. The second day the driver had to jump my car again, but this time i recorded it. I then again brought my car to penske honda in ontario where i explained to a service technician what happened & i called honda corporate offices while at the dealership. I told honda corporate about my hood & how many times i had to call honda care. They supposedly opened a claim but never called me back & gave me the run around when i called them. The dealership then did my oil change & checked the car out & found nothing. I then goggled the symptoms of my car & found recall with the fuel system which shuts down the battery on this site. I believe rock honda sold me the vehicle without remedying the recall prior to sale. Honda corporation did nothing.

2013 honda accord. Consumer writes seeking reimbursement for vehicle repairs related to a safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the high pressure fuel pump failed and had to be repalced.
Vehicle stall, failed to accelerate . The stall is common and honda needs to fix this issue before someone gets into an accident . I went to honda and no issue was found, i am thinking this might be fuel pump recall.
While trying to diagnose the check engine light my mechanic noticed that the fuel tank has a crack at the top of the tank which leaks gasoline when filled up.this is the same issue that has been reported and recalled for some other 2013 accords but not ours.honda needs to issue a recall for any vehicle that this is happening to.but as it currently stands they are not.
Backed out of parking spot, upon shifting to drive, the rear view camera display was black except for two red lines.drove about 60 feet then upon making a right turn i realized there was no throttle response.the engine continued to operate.removed my foot from the throttle then reapplied my foot and the engine was then responsive to the throttle.the distance was approx. 20 feet and the time 10 seconds that the engine did not respond to the throttle.this car has many intermittent electrical problems, but this problem could be very serious in traffic.

When i start my vehicle, the engine turns on, but only stays on for a second or two before loosing power. The battery seems to be working perfectly fine as the lights and indicators are properly lit. The starter also cranks properly. The engine however turns on but doesn't stay o. This has happened to me multiple times and i have changed my car battery 3 times now as the dealership isn't unable to identify what the issue is and my battery keeps getting drained. The car is particularly susceptible to this issue in the mornings in colder temperatures (50 degrees or so as i live in southern california) after not being used overnight
Upon start up, all the lights on the dashboard lit up.fcw failure noted on the digital display.acceleration non existent in this state.several restarts (34 was the max), no lights on the dash.car ran fine.dealer diagnosed it as a timing chain that had expanded.seems to be fixed. (only been two days).i think it is a major safety issue because the lack of power could manifest itself at any time.imagine getting on a highway with no power to accelerate.
2013 honda accord sedan, v6, touring modeli 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).
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.

Two nights ago i wasdriving on i-75back home from work , i was going speed limit 70-75 mph and the car suddenly started "bogging down", didn't want to go above 30 mph and a number of dash lights were on: service engine, power steering, tire pressure and maybe traction control. I turn off the car, turn it back on, and the lights still on. I drive short distance home at 25-30 mph.the following morning i looked at the car, didn't see anything wrongi felted very unsafe from car suddenly slow in the middle of hwy i-75 going from 70-75 mph to 25-30 mph, this happened with out any warning or enough time to pull over the shoulder, definitely a bad accident would happened here.
Started the engine and the message "check fuel cap" was displayed.
Emissions light on. Smell gasoline always. Mechanic stated he needed to change the cylinder senson and put a new gas cap on.once this was performed on the vehicle , two hours or less, emission light on and same issue presented itself. The vehicle was stationary when the inital problem occured with the emission and still occuring.
No accident.smell of fuel leak at all times but not able to determine source of leak.especially noticeable after fuel is added to tank.
I purchased my 2013 honda in 2019. Already it is showing that it has a fuel rail pressure sensor problem that could potentially cause a fire. While driving on the freeway the car lost acceleration. Now it can only be driven 40mph or less. I received a printout that determined this diagnosis and stated that there was a recall for this problem. I notified honda and they said that there was no recall. Could you please help me to confirm the truth?

The hose on the gas tank has a hairline crack in it.the only way to repaint is to change the whole gas tank which is $1200. The fuel tank is on backorder so obviously others have had issues with it.
When we fill gas to the full tank, it is smelling
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.
My car is facing no starting issues several times a year even though i have done every single maintainance on time at the dealership. This time the dealer told me it is a bulletin 19-034 and need a software update. This could be very dangerous if it happened on the highway. Fortunately, it happened in a small park and i was driving very slow. There is always some starting issues of my honda accord since i bought it. I went to the dealership several times every year. Sometimes the dealer ask me to change battery and sometimes the dealer aksed me to change all kinds of fluids. I have changed every single fluids, pcv valve, brake pads and rollters in the car almost yearly and the no start issue is still happening. I feel it takes me too much time and cost me several thousand of dollars every year is too much. Also, if the turnoff happend on the highway it is very dangerous. I am hesitate to take my kids in the car since the problem. Very annoying. Also, the software problem should be solved by the manufacturer free but they are charging me every single time.
I had to tow my car home today. It wouldn't start. I have had trouble with it in the past weeks now but it would start eventually. But not this time. I might lose my job because of this car failure. Weither it was stationary yes but could of been blocking traffic.
The fuel tank neck may be out of specification causing the fuel pump to not properly seal to the fuel tank.
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.

When driving or when car starts, several lights on the dash come on, fdw, brake, steering wheel, lane departure, abs... The warning fcw system failed flashes on message center. This has been doing for years on and off. Has gotten worse recently on more than not lately. Also the steering wheel has been locking up when i start my car.
Car steering wheel turns all the way right on its own. You have to use force in order to correct the cars path of travel. Steering issue occurred in our driveway with the engine running and we were backing. The issue continue when we placed the car in drive.

Trunk opens on it own. Have talked to other accord sport owners who has had the same problem. My 2nd accord sport purchase and it also does the samething. Very upset, i leave valuables in the trunk locked and i will come back to the car with the trunk open at random times.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the rear passenger door failed to open from inside or outside of the vehicle. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 46,000.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving approximately 25 mph, the trunk automatically opened. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and was able to close the trunk. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (san leandro honda, 1302 marina boulevard, san leandro, california 94577) where it was diagnosed that the trunk latch failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord, ex-l,.my honda has 42k miles.at about 25k miles my accord started to make a very obvious and disturbing droning/humming noise at speeds above 40 mph.the noise became progressively louder as time went by.i brought the car to my local honda dealer 2 times and asked them to fix the problem, to no avail.after having new tires installed at 42k miles, and the droning noise was still occurring, i brought the car to my local honda dealer a third time and they diagnosed the noise problem as coming from a defective front right wheel bearing and a defective rear left wheel bearing.both wheel bearings were replaced on july 27, 2016 and the droning noise above 40 mph is gone.replacing the wheel bearings fixed the problem! the service advisor at the dealer was not able to explain why the wheel bearings failed, and he stated that the technicians at the dealership did not know why/how the bearings failed either.i contacted honda america hq on august 1, 800-999-1009, and was told that honda america would not disclose the details of the bearing failures.they also declined my request to authorize the replacement of the remaining 2 wheel bearings.honda america established a case number for my issue, case # 04884545.due to the lack of transparency from honda america as to the cause/resolution of the wheel bearing failures, i am concerned that the underlying bearing or wheel structure problem has not been corrected, and that my 2013 honda accord will be subjected to future wheel bearing failures.
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.
For over a week my 2013 honda sport had difficulty starting. I was thinking this was due to the cold weather and in speaking with my cousin who has same vehicle he said his did the same and it was the new technology with the cvt. So i felt ok until wednesday january 14th i went to leave work and my car would not turn over. I had 2 people try and jump me nothing. I had to have my car towed to brown's honda in charlottesville, va. The next day i got a call saying that my starter had gone and i would have to pay $879 to replace it. The part alone was $430 give or take. I did not have that kinda of money for i had to have my car towed to a local dealership in my town and the guy found used part of a 2013 honda that had been in an accident. Took him all of an hour to put it on. Charged $50 for labor and part was have the price. He showed me that part that he returned to me and said it was defected. He even wrote a letter to honda on my behalf as well. This is just ridiculous my car has yet to even see it's 3rd birthday!also my backup camera tends to go out as well. Like when a tv messes up and gets static.

Two weeks ago, my steering wheel pulled left quickly and then back.i thought i hit a rock.in the past two weeks same issue.yesterday, pulled out of the garage and the steering wheel indicator light came on.read the book. Restarted the engine.it went away.today, after driving about 5 minutes indicator light came on again. Steering wheel froze.restarted and ok.driving on major highway, indicator light came on and all steering was frozen.i am traveling, therefore had to find the closest honda dealer.i am now stranded for two days awaiting repair.i'm 8 hours from home, and now suspicious and worried whether i will return home safely.after reading some entries, i too had slow movements since i have owned this vehicle -- thought is was the new cvs engine.
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.
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
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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the starter would intermittently grind preventing the vehicle from starting. The contact stated he would let the vehicle sit for a couple minutes before the vehicle was started. Several attempts were made while starting the vehicle. The contact contacted the dealer kelly honda (540 lynnway, lynn, ma 01905; (781) 595-5252) who informed the contact of service bulletin 16-002. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
My daughters 2013 honda accord v6 had a stutter upon acceleration. After researching the issue, the transmission was flushed 4 times. This is a common problem with these new transmissions honda put in the 2013. A few days ago the side wall of the side mission exploded. Chunks of metal was found on the ground and it smelled like it might catch on fire.
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.
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!
When i step on the brake starting around 20 mph to a complete stop, frequently there is a noticeable jerk to the cvt transmission. It mostly happens when coming to a complete stop. I brought the car back to the dealer and they said nothing is wrong with the car. Other people who drove the car also felt the jerk when stopping. Some people on townhall-talk.edmunds.com and on driveaccord.net have the same problem. Also on these online forums other people say they do not have this problem that there car rides smoothly.
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.
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 the consumer stated the vehicle's hesistation had occured since the date of purchase and continued.updated 06/3/2015
Two nights ago i wasdriving on i-75back home from work , i was going speed limit 70-75 mph and the car suddenly started "bogging down", didn't want to go above 30 mph and a number of dash lights were on: service engine, power steering, tire pressure and maybe traction control. I turn off the car, turn it back on, and the lights still on. I drive short distance home at 25-30 mph.the following morning i looked at the car, didn't see anything wrongi felted very unsafe from car suddenly slow in the middle of hwy i-75 going from 70-75 mph to 25-30 mph, this happened with out any warning or enough time to pull over the shoulder, definitely a bad accident would happened here.
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
When i start my car in the morning and put the transmission into reverse, i have to depress the gas pedal quite far for the car to start moving. I am on a flat surface in my garage when i do this. The rpms go high and i am barely moving. When i place the car in drive, everything seems fine and the rest of the day there are no problems. The weather is not cold or hot when this happens. Around 70 degrees in an insulated garage.
Upon acceleration from a stop or a speed under 15 mph, the car occasionally hesitates for 2-4 seconds.nearly have gotten t-boned several times when making a left turn well in front of approaching traffic.have been to dealer three times.they installed a hardware/software to the cvt to no avail, but have been unable to duplicate, as it typically happens about once a week.this is definitely a safety issue.
2013 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to potential transmission defect.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.
When try to start my car and press push button it wont startjust gives me sound klic klic
"tamar a inflators" my car has a huge click after backing up after stopping and putting into gear sounds like the linkage has just broke.makes a big loud click when putting into drive. Like the transmission is about to break off.please help.
Oil or fluid leak between transmission to engine mating surface.
Vehicle shudders/shakes on acceleration, especially with eco button on.noticeable downshift while decelerating. I was told that this "is just how the car drives" and that the car "reacts to how the driver drives it".was told by the dealership that the new cvt transmission has had many complaints about the shuttering/shaking on acceleration.
Rear wheel bearings deteriorated, causing loud noises from the rear at speeds as low as 10 miles per hour.had to be replaced on both sides.
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.
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.
I bought my 2013 accord sport new. Almost immediately i noticed that after i start it and put it in drive, it would not go anywhere. Slight press of the acceleration pedal and slowly it would move forward, however within approximately a minute the acceleration pedal press and the vehicle moving would work as they should. Since i only considered this an inconvenience, even though this is not " normal", i ignored the issue. In mid 2014, while driving on the freeway, in los angeles, the vehicle's electrical system and the dashboard went completely out, only to flicker back to life within the next two seconds. A few months after, with no warning and for no apparent reason, while i attempted to start the vehicle, i discovered it to be completely dead. No clicks, no flickering lights. I replaced the battery at about 25k miles. Over the next year, the sudden electrical short, where the dashboard electronics and everything electrical on the car would turn off suddenly, continued. Every two months on average i would experience an episode, some while driving, some when i was stationary, with the engine running for couple of minutes. Beginning of 2016, i attempted to start the vehicle, again no sign of life, out of the blue. I jump started it, had it checked, no apparent problems or issues with the battery. End of march 2016, same problem. I went to start the vehicle, it turned the dashboard lights on, then it died...no clicks, no lights flickering. I had it checked by a mechanic, could not find anything wrong with it. I don't know what to do.i liked what honda used to represent, i am not sure anymore about its reliability.
Starter failure described in honda's tsb 16-002.car exhibited a grinding noise upon trying to start.it would fail to start.this was an intermittent problem.honda finally replaced the starter but was unwilling to warranty the known problem.a year later i am having the same problem.
1. There is hesitation when accelerating and the shifts are hard and jolting2. The downshifting coming from highway speeds is terrifying. Hard, jolting shifts that happen way too early and way too close together. It makes it like the car is stalling causing a serious safety hazard. A lot of people have this issue with this model and there really needs to be a recall or a tuning software update that fixes this.
The engine and transmission have class 1 leaks gasket area.to be more specific, leaks found on engine head gasket and transmission housing area.
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.
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.
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.
During low speed driving (approximately 30-40 mph) and squeakingnoise was emitting from the right rear tire.prior to this, the power steering warning light, anti lock brake warning light, anti skid warning light, all illuminated.when the car was diagnosed at dch honda, temecula it was reported that the right rear wheel bearing was broken / falling apart.it was stated by the mechanic that the car would not be safe to drive until the bearing was replaced and that this was covered under the powertrain warranty.however, there was no previous notification (technical bulletins, recalls) on this issue.drivers beware.the mechanic informed me that there was significant "play" in the rear wheel while attached to the hub.if the bearing came completely undone, the wheel could come off while driving.
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!!
Excess vibration and oil consumption due to vcm operation. Vcm also makes the transmission search for gears while driving at a steady speed
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.
I was driving my car in a residential neighborhood. The dash on the car displayed a "start stop" error. Then, there was much less horsepower. I am guessing there was between 10 and 20 horse power. The car could barely go 20 miles per hour. Then, the dash said, stop the car. Your car is over heating. So, i pulled to the side of the street and stopped the car.i was lucky that i was on a residential side street. Where i live, some sections of freeway are 12 and 16 lanes wide. If i had lost power in this situation, i don't think i could have made it to the side of the road safely.the water pump on my model car was part of a safety recall. Audi claims that they have fixed the problem with the design before my car was manufactured. However, the water pump on my car only lasted for 49,000 miles. I suspect that the re-design of the water pump is still not adequate. Please investigate the issue with our water pump.
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.
05/25/14 while backing the vehicle out of my drive way i noticed the a thumping sound and a jerking from the vehicle which caused great alarm from me. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. When i took the vehicle in the kept it for about a day and told me that they could not find anything wrong with it and that the inspector said that the same thing was happening to a new vehicle, that the noise and jerking was just the way it was. They called it a hard shift. My car is not a daily driven vehicle being i have two other cars that i primarily use. At the time of the incident my car had aprox. 303 miles on it. Now several months later on 01/01/15 when i went to start my vehicle i noticed the same problem, and being that i had already taken it once to the dealer and them telling me nothing was wrong with it, i had no second thought of taking it out on the road. I proceeded to drive down my residential street and realized i had forgot something at home. So on the residential intersection i started to make a u turn when all of a sudden steering cut out on me in the middle of my turn. I narrowly missed oncoming traffic and stopped right before i hit the curb and a parked car. When i did stop and got my composure back i looked down and there was a steering wheel light on and a buzzing noise. All this while going no more then 6 miles and hour. At this current moment my car is less then 2 years old and has less then 400 miles on it and i cannot believe that this would happen to such a new car with so little miles on it. Following this incident i googled my car to see if i was the only one having this problem and lord behold i was not. There are numerous accounts of this happening to other people some resulting in serious accidents. But most of the cars in those incidents that i could see had about 20k to 30k miles on them and mine does not even have 1k on it yet.
The transmission has a judder shaking feeling when accelerating when cold it is more severe.when hotin stop and go traffic, the transmission bangs into low gear causing the car to lunge forward.have a case with honda, they said engineers are working on a fix but i need to take my car to the dealer so they can diagnose.the dealer had the car for 1 week.they can't duplicate.they say honda tac says its normal.its not normal, feels like going into lockup too early but who knows its a cvt trans. Man i should not have gotten this car.picked car up from dealer got stuck in traffic again,,transmission lunging when coming to a stop. Stinks!!!!
Water pump seized.drive belt shredded.
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.
Honda accord sport 2013 i4 cvt. Cv axles are corroded due to failing paint finish. This corrosion gets inside the rubber resonator(donut looking piece), affecting the integrity of the axle. Honda has recalled these axles in other states, but not in utah. I am the original owner of the car and have been denied by honda on replacing axles per the recall.
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.
When pushing start button the engine would make a grinding screeching noise. At 34,000 miles starter was replaced. Now at 70,000 miles same noise is coming again from engine. Seems to be a common issue with v6 models. There is a service bulletin 16-002 for this issue however after addressing the issue once already it seems to be a reoccurring issue.
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.
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.
Car in the morning hesitates just pulling out of its parking space. Put the car in reverse and it won't move. Put it in drive and same issue. It seems as if it's trying to warm up maybe? when it does start moving, it runs at 5-10 mph at 3k rpms. I let it roll slowly and after a few minutes it starts to drive normal. Going uphill, i experience a similar issue where the car is running at very high rpms at low speeds. I get the effect in eco and in s mode. It doesn't seem to matter.car is a 2013 has about 42k miles and started to experience this issue about 4-5k miles ago. I just assumed it was because the car wasn't warm enough or because its a 4 cylinder. Looking further into this noted that this seems to be a common issue with honda's cvt.
Problem began almost immediately after purchasing my new accordex v-6 coupe. Especially when driving the vehicle in the morning (e.g. Haven't driven since the prior afternoon/evening), the vehicle will stutter when transitivity from first to second gear. This is particularly evident when accelerating after stopping at a stop sign/stoplight. I reported this issue to my local dealer and was told it was a "known issue".updated 4/24/2015
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.
This started off as an intermittent issue but progressively got worse (twice a day) until honda flashed an update [a2a690] to my car.now it's intermittent again (once or twice a week).the problem always happens from a cold start.the issue is after cranking my car, when i put the car in gear (reverse or drive) the transmission doesn't engage.i can press the gas pedal and the rpm's will shoot up but the mph doesn't move, it's like the transmission is slipping, if i don't let off the gas the transmission will abruptly engage and can be a serious safety issue.the first time this happened i was in the parking garage at work and this issue almost caused me to crash into a parked vehicle.now i have to make sure it doesn't do this every time i put my car in gear.i've been to two different honda dealers for a total of 4 times and they say they can't ever reproduce the issue.here's a link to a video of the issue when i caught it on video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj1qdyjxgte&feature=em-upload_owner#action=share.
Honda accord 2013,wife was driving and car stuttered and quit in middle of road and then stopped. Had to have car towed to dealer. Car is 3 days old and we where told that the transmission is shot. They are in the middle of ordering a new one to replace it. Fcw system fail flashed on dash.
On cold starts the car intermittently fails to drive with full power.is happening about 10 times a month.feels like car operates with only 20% power & feels like cvt tranny belts slipping.the engine revs up, whines and the car barely moves.honda says "they are aware of problem but have no fix for it at this time."vehicle bought new, has been in for service on this issue 5-7 times with various honda repair centers keeping the vehicle for 25+ days.have dealt with service personnel, managers, general managers and regional managers.the bottom line is this expensive car is broken while honda is unresponsive to resolving this problem.
First incident was approx in aug, 2013. Driving on the highway accelerating at 36-40 mph, car starting shuddering and lunging forward, loud noise coming from car and it wouldn't accelerate. Slowing down didn't help- it made it shudder more. Pulled off road thinking, maybe a flat tire? i stopped the car checked and nothing.i was shaken up because the car was jerking and shuddering and you couldn't control it.i let it sit, while driving home, it had difficulty accelerating to the speed limit of 50.it then shuddered as the car slowed down when you took your foot off the gas, let it coast to a stop w/o applying the brakes.trying to accelerate, it was very sluggish, then it kicked in and took off. As if the a/c was on, straining the engine.i called the dealer and of course, couldn't duplicate it.they insisted nothing was wrong and it was just some odd incident.i know what the car did.i drove it for almost a year, experiencing this off and on but not to that degree the first time, with the shuddering when you slowed down and the lack of acceleration and then the "kick in"...it got pretty bad in the mid part of july, 2014.this was happening more frequently. The lack of acceleration - big problem with expressway driving.took it to the dealer, they indicated a service bulletin had been issued.they ordered a kit (valve?) and replaced the hardware and adjusted the software per the recommendation of honda.it seemed to be fixed, for five days.it started losing acceleration on the highway, i could barely get to 70 mph in very heavy traffic. Dangerous!i took the vehicle to the dealer again 10 days later and told them it wasn't fixed. The head service tech drove it, wont duplicate. They are trying to troubleshoot. I'm concerned that driving this vehicle for a year with this problem has caused permanent damage to the transmission. I notified american honda.
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.
Upon start up, all the lights on the dashboard lit up.fcw failure noted on the digital display.acceleration non existent in this state.several restarts (34 was the max), no lights on the dash.car ran fine.dealer diagnosed it as a timing chain that had expanded.seems to be fixed. (only been two days).i think it is a major safety issue because the lack of power could manifest itself at any time.imagine getting on a highway with no power to accelerate.
2013 honda accord cvt lx 4 cylinder.started vehicle, placed in reverse, gave it gas, went no where. Engine felt resistance but as i gradually gave it fuel, it whet no where . Then pulled slightly like a manual with the clutch semi depressed. After about 30 seconds it started to pull but very sluggish. I put in drive to see how it did. It pulled like normal. Then when tried reverse again it also worked normal. Has been sluggish at stop signs several times, leaves you lacking confidence if any traffic is coming at all as your not sure it will always respond if you turn and cross any lanes.
2013 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to transmission problems.the consumer stated he experienced transmissions transmission problems, right from the start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times. Thetransmission 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 aproblem and installed a kit in the transmission, which only seemed to fix the problem for a short time. It also created aleak 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.
Vehicle shakes back and forth while reducing or increasing speed around 10 mph. This happens often in stop and go traffic. Honda appears to have documented the problem under sb 13-053.
The car has been driving funny for a few weeks. The car will not go into gear.
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.
When the car is cold, occasionally the 2013 accord cvt has a lot of difficulty moving in drive or reverse.when the vehicle is acting up, i have to push the throttle over half way down to back the car out of the driveway.depending on how cold and how long the car has been sitting, this may continue as i drive down the road.i can push the throttle half way or almost all the way down and the vehicle barely moves.sometimes if i rock it between drive and reverse it will operate normally.the problem resolves after a few minutes, but the car is very unpredictable to drive as it requires so much throttle to move at a slow speed.
Pulling into a parking space, stopped before i could put the car into park, the vehicle lunged forward into a brick wall before stopping.prior to this incident on 4/28/14 the windshield was replaced due to a crack in the windshield after this the ldw (lane warning device) didn't function properly.4/30/14 another windshield was installed and the ldw did not function properly.i was told to have the camera on the rear view mirror recalibrated, before i could have this serviceperformed the accident occurred.
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.
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.
2013 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to technical flaw with vehicle. *ldthe consumer stated while attempting to park the vehicle suddenly lurched forward over a curb. The air bag did deploy the vehicle was totaled. The consumer requested to have the vehicle inspected. Updated 10/02/2017
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated while driving and slowing down to approximately 5 mph the vehicle would hesitate and failed to respond when pressing the accelerator pedal before suddenly accelerating. The contact also stated while driving approximately 25 mph and removing his foot off the gasoline pedal the vehicle would automatically down shift. The failure was diagnosed by the dealer and the defects were notduplicated. None of the repairs were performed on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5000.
After accord ex-l with 2.4l engine & cvt sits overnight in garage it does not back out normally. Must press accelerator to get movement. Normal just taking foot off brake & vehicle to roll out on own. Press accelerator to get car to go, rpm's increase & transmission feels like slipping when backing into the street. Shift to drive & cvt slips until travel ~100 feet. Then cvt seems to respond normally to accelerator. We have to back into street with blind hill so this is definitely a safety issue. Took car to honda dealer for this sporadic, recurring problem on 4/16/13, on 11/12/13 & left w/ dealer for few days & on 02/10/14 & left w/ dealer 9 days. Car was driven by service personnel & service mgr. They could not get car to duplicate problem. I opened case w/ honda in ca on 02/07/2014 and discussed w/ their rep, [xxx] opened case no. [xxx]. As dealer could not duplicate problem, [xxx] closed case &said honda would keep on file & reopen if necessary. [xxx] said he had checked with their engineers & claimed they have no record of this issue with accord. If all other complaints about this problem were closed when they couldn't duplicate problem it makes sense they have "no record" of problem. Also seems very convenient to fall back on "no record" and "couldn't duplicate" excuses to relieve honda of any liability for what could cause accident. My wife also had same problem. Internet search yields sites that reference same problem in 2013 accords. Carcomplaints.com 5 complaints listed for cvt slipping. Edmunds.com forum section on accord has a report of owner of 2013 accord who got cvt to "slip" w/ the svc mgr with him. Owner said he & mgr took a brand new accord off lot & duplicated problem. Yet when svc dept put his accord on computer it would not show a code so svc mgr told him it was "normal". Same as i was told. Most importantly this is a safety issue.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
This vehicle has been fine up to 9,205 miles. We have bought this vehicle back three times to our honda dealer including this original date for shuttering, jerking, vibration,lagging and loss of power 0-25 m.p.h. Worse with a/c or econ button on as well. Also while driving, transmission jumped out of gear then revs out then goes back into gear, this problem happened once on deceleration into a residential turn. This problem occurred after our last visit to dealer in july 2015. Vibration seems from drive line in gear and was told this is normal by dealer. These issues i feel are not normal. These problems occur in traffic and are unsettling because we are just waiting for the day for the car not to respond correctly when throttle is pushed and a rear end collision to occur or crossing an intersection because of throttle response, shuttering, jerking and lagging in power or even have an issue crossing an intersection.at highway speeds 55 m.p.hproblems with shuttering and lagging not present. On 8-8-2014 the original complaint was made to my honda dealer for these issues. We were told by dealer on that date that an update had to be performed for transmission valve body, p.c.m update, and new c.v.t fluid, the update was tsb-013-053. We rescheduled for 9-6-2014 and the update was performed( mileage at that time 10,031). This update really never solved the issue. I believe it is a transmission issue and that honda does not know how to resolve it. Seems like service advisers (who have been courteous) are being coached in what to say to customers with their underlying issues so that the problems can be put off possibly past warranty so that they can contend with other major cost inducing recalls or t.s.b's like air bags to contend with.
My transmission fluid was very low so i took it in to the dealership to get it checked out. Prior to this my brother drove my car and said it was not going into gears smoothly. When i took it into the dealership the representative said low transmission fluid can make the car run not too smooth. He did mentioned that there was a notice for a foul spark plug and told me to drive the car for a few days and if the problem doesn't fix itself then to bring it back in so they can look further into the problem. My concern is if i have a recall and i am having problems that could be caused by a faulty spark plug shouldn't they automatically bring my car in and replace the spark plugs? on your site it appears that i have had two recalls for my vehicle. Not once have i been notified by the dealership. This is new to me. I'm not familiar with this process. Can you please give me some guidance? thank you, concerned customer
From a cold start the transmission doesn't engage when first putting the car in reverse or drive. The rpm goes upbut the mph is almost at 0.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the start button had to be pushed several times before the engine would finally start. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sunset honda, 12250 los soso valley rd, luis obispo, ca) where it was diagnosed that the starter was faulty and needed to be replaced and the torque converter needed to be rotated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact was informed by the dealer that the manufacturer's tsb number: 16-002 was for the same failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
I couldn't figure out which section to post my complaint.it's not a safety issue per se.i am complaining about the new design of the headrests.i cannot get comfortable in any of the new cars i have sat in, because i like to sit very upright, and when i position myself this way, my neck goes forward too much. When i recline the seat, it helps my neck, but now my back is not supported properly. So, either way, i am going to be uncomfortable which may very well affect my driving, and therefore safety.i need to buy 2 cars now. My current cars are old, 1996 and 1999.i am at wits end, because i cannot find a comfortable seat in a new car.don't really want to buy a used car.i read of lot of posts on various sites about this problem.did you test the new headrest guidelines by using short, women drivers????can someone please tell me if you have any comments back from other people with recommendations of brands that might have a more comfortable headrest than honda/acura?thank you.
Accord v6 coupe bought new (and spotless) and never in accident, 33,000 miles and 47 months old-car was parked in the parking lot and when i returned to the car the driver's seat back was completely flaccid.the driver's seat was essentially in the full reclined position resting against the backseat.it could be moved up and down easily to the touch with absolutely no locking mechanism (ie if it wasn't being manually held up it would fall back).i took it into the honda dealer and they said that "the seat frame had failed." i called honda to tell them and, given that it is not under warranty, will call me back if they will cover it.again, driver's seat frame failed and seatback completely flaccid and can offer no back support.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the driver's side headrest would cause severe neck and back pain to the driver. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the headrest was installed properly and working as designed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 70.
Bought the honda accord in november, 2012.i am the only driver. Car has approximately 14,000 miles on it and the seat motor has failed. It makes noise. Seat cannot be properly adjusted by motor.others have complained and said seat could collapse down and that is dangerous.this is a costly repair involving replacing entire front seat.
The memory seat adjustment has never worked properly in my new 2013 honda accord xl.this issue was brought to the attention of honda.it was attributed to aswitch failure.the memory seats simply would not adjust themselves to the driver's setting, it was necessary to re-adjust the seats manually.memory seat adjustment stopped working completely oct. 2014.i am almost sorry i purchased this car.why should i be charged for a replacement switch which is clearly manufacturer failure?
The seats in my accord are terrible.it puts you in an awkward position and makes you slump as your driving.i have had severe neck, lower back and shoulder pain from the discomfort.i am forced to lose money on this car and trade it in because it is very distracting to try to change the seats as i drive.some nights after driving i am unable to walk my back hurts so bad.please do something about the seats!
During the first week of driving my new honda accord sport, i find myself constantly trying to adjust the seats to a comfortable position.i've concluded that the headrests push my head forward so much that the upper back is unable to rest firmly against the chair.this is very irritating causing neck and shoulder stiffness during my 1hr commute each way.my old 2005 model that i still own is not like this.i wonder how many accidents will be caused by the distraction and irritation this creates for the driver.i've read that this is a government required headrest angle.did they measure the posture of 80 year-olds to determine this angle?i'm in my 50s of good health and posture.i now have to try to find some upper back supports or i may have to pay for chiropractic care. I'm a designer and know that you need to test things before releasing designs to the public.perhaps this is a design error caused due to cuts in research funding?well, perhaps you could ask general motors to use some of their subsidies to do a little more testing on this?i'm being sarcastic of course, but perhaps honda is also at fault if ford are able to provide adjustable headrests. I'm unhappy and also suffering from a little buyers remorse.
I'm in my early 20's and recently developed a searing pain in my lower back that would strike even when i am lying motionless. I still wouldn't have a clue about why it was hurting until another honda accord owner (2015) told me he had the same issue and figured out it was the seats!i bought the sacro ease seat adapter from relax the back ($269) and it fixed my problem immediately.honda should notify the public of the health risks, replace both the driver and passenger seat, and pay for some sort of therapy.
The seat/headrest is the main issue.it pushes my head to far forward and makes it very comfortable to drive.the long-term safety issue is that so many people are complaining about the seats/headrests that many are modifying/removing the headrest to avoid pain/discomfort which will create an unsafe restraint system.
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.
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!
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) 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.
The head restraint causes serious neck pain. The seat design is improper and does not allow for comfortable seating. My legs go numb which can lead to invalid response in braking. Stiff neck pain cancause me to miss blind spots or have reaction time neccessary to avoid dangerous collisions. These seats have not been corrected and should be replaced immediately. Multiple positions do not help. Driving for extended amount of time cause neck to leg pain.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated the front driver's side headrest pushed her head forward limiting the mobility of her head while driving. The contact stated the design of the headrest caused her severe back and neck pain. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200.
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.
No "incident" but writing to express my strong displeasure with the new requirements for head seats.i understand safety and that the new angle is a government restriction.i measured the angle in my 2006 acura at 25 degrees while the 2013 accord is 35-40 degrees when factoring in the thoracic/lumbar support added.i am a physical therapist by profession and this type of posture is terrible for people to sit in.the ear should line up with the shoulders for good posture, not be inches in front of the thoracic spine.this forces forward head posture which is terrible for the joints and muscles of the spine/shoulders.i have had many patients complain of this in other newer vehicles as well.chronic neck and back problems are/can/will develop.safety must be balanced with everyday comfort and ergonomics!
I have developed severe back and neck aches due to the design of the drivers seat. I have adjusted the seat in every way possible and the problem just seems to get worse. I have only owned the car for 2 weeks and purchased it new from the dealer. I drive about 140 miles a day.
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.
Head rests are angled too far forward. I cannot drive the car like it was manufactured. I have turned the headrest backwards.
The headrests cause nevk pain. The headrests push your head forward in an unnatural way almost pushing your chin into your chest.i started having neckpain shortly after purchasing.so intense it went down my arm and caused numbess in my fingers.spent serval days goung to doctors and mris injections etc.this summer my 13 tear old started complaining.we noticed when switching to my summer 35z the pain got better and returned when driving the honda.the seats are also part of the issue i noticed after 15 minutes of driving hard to get comfortable.my neck spine and lower back all affecyed.i finallt traded my vehicle july 11 of 2015 because i could no longer tolerate the pain.im very disturbed by this and the pain because i usually keep my vehicles a long time...

I bought a 2013 honda accordknowing that there have been complaints online about the headrest issue, but brief test drives prior to purchase don't fully reveal the extent to which this is a safety defect..an acura (also made by honda) dealer even told me that acura had had these same complaints for several years, but modified the headrest design in the 2013 models to correct the flaw. Honda has not done this yet, though, in honda models.i test drove many other manufacturers' cars and they comply with federal regulations without such an obvious design problemi'm 5'4" and sit up straight when driving, which means the head restraint continually bumps or pokes the back of my head while providing no back support at all--which is itself a safety defect in a crash. So is the fact that it pushes my head so far forward that it impedes good visibility when i turn my head to look back over my right shoulder. Slumping causes back, shoulder and neck pain, untenable on a road trip and also impedes visibility.earlier model head-restraints that don't have this issue won't fit due to different center-to-center post measurements, so there are no available parts to replace the existing restraint (i tried -- even with one in my older acura). I have read online forums in which desperate honda drivers describe bending the posts or making other modifications to relieve their pain while driving. They shouldn't have to and this could jeopardize their safety. Please make honda modify this design. I'd gladly purchase another headrest that doesn't have this issue, if they make one in 2014(with the same distance between posts as the 2013 accords).or make it a recall issue--enough honda owners in the last few years have been complaining about it to justify that status.
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 designa 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.
The head restraint angle is too far forward; it pushes my head forward putting stress on my neck.my upper back and shoulders cannot contact the seat due to the head restraint angle, regardless of the height of the head restraint.in effect, my neck is supporting my upper body since my upper back and shoulders don't touch the seat.this has been causing pain in my neck and upper back.
The headrest of this vehicle is so poorly designed that after an hour of so of highway driving my neck and shoulders became stiff and uncomfortable.the only solution was to remove the headrest.i felt this was a safety hazard, so i reinstalled the headrest.shortly thereafter my neck and shoulder stiffness returned.
These comments pertain to my fruitless search for a car without head restraints that force my head down to an uncomfortable, painful position. At 5 ft 10 in i am just 1/2 inch over the average male height in the u.s.this situation, affecting many makes, models and years, is causing people to develop back problems, and in some cases remove or disable safety equipment.internet searches show hundreds of these complaints, and examples of how to remedy the problem by either removing or turning around head restraints.even a dealer suggested i did the latter, which i will not do.since manufacturers are ignoring the issue except for top-of-the-line models, the nhtsa should intervene to force a solution to help customers retain safety features while not incurring back injuries. This is part of the narrative i posted on one of many on-line forums on the subject:interested in buying a 2013 honda accord ex-l but i can't stand the head restraints. I can't drive with my head looking down. I tested it for 45 minutes and ended up with a back/neck ache. I tried a 2012 accord and found the same problem. My 2008 pilot does not have the problem, as a matter of fact, i tried a new pilot and it was comfortable. Clearly, it meets safety standards without compromising driver comfort. I found hundreds of complaints on-line about the same issue dating back to 2009.here's one of those web sites: http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2013/ i called honda customer service and they were no help at all. Three times the lady i spoke with repeated the litany of "since 2009 all honda cars....etc" referring to new federal safety regulations. Never mind that the pilot does not sacrifice comfort for safety.how can honda ignore such a problem that must be turning away accord buyers?how can honda ignore it when they have the solution in another one of its models (the pilot)?
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 nowi 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 carbut i have to drive because it is still a car to get me to work.
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.
The vehicle was stationary.the drivers side seat back was moved forward to allow access to the back seat.then the drivers side seat back would not lock in an upright position.with no seat back in its upright position, it was near impossible to drive. I took it to a honda dealership. The weld on the seat frame that allowed the back to be locked in its upright position was broken. The dealer replaced the broken seat frame.he frame cost $1320 and labor was $409.
The design of the drivers seat causes sever back pain
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving various speeds, the contact attempted to elevate the front driver's seat. The seat made a clicking noise and failed to elevate. Whenever the seat was elevated, it would fall out of position, which made it difficult for the contact to drive. In addition, the front driver's side window failed to close completely. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified about the failures and opened case number: 08428126. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
No incident.this complaint is about the headrests which are not adjustable and force heads into an unnatural and uncomfortable position.we have a long trip coming up and am concerned about sitting in unnatural positions for extended periods.i understand that these headrests must comply with nhtsa specs and there's no allowance for customizing but the safety issue (whip lash) may be cancelled by muscle fatigue, discomfort (and thus driving distraction).this needs to be corrected for safety sake.
Near miss at 1300 miles.

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
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!
Head rests on seats are very uncomfortableyou need to lean forward and down while drivingwe removed the head rest, thou it is a safety feature.
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.
Head rests push the head too far forward, causing neck pain when seat back is at a normal upright, driving position.seats are extremely uncomfortable to drive in, unless the seat back is significantlyreclined - which poses an issue with being able to reach the steering wheel and other controls effectively.i find myself pulling myself forward with the steering wheel, so that i can sit up straight without the head rest pushing my head forward.i'm sure this is not the safest position to drive in.
The degree of inclination of the front seats head restraints is so pronounced that the driver and the passenger are forced to assume an extremely uncomfortable posture that can result in damage to the spine
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.
The front seats are so uncomfortable as to cause a distraction from driving.the seat itself causes a person to be bent like the letter "c".the shoulder blades and pelvis are supported while the middle back has a gap (no support) between it and the seat back.the only way to conform to the seat is to be a hunchback. (i am a normal, slim (150 lb) 5'9" male.)to add to the discomfort the head rests are canted so far forward so as to continuously force the head forward pushing the chin toward the chest.this is an extremely uncomfortable position to drive in.this is not what the government mandates.
These seats have caused so much pain that i now have to go to a chiropractor for weekly treatment. The car is killing me, i'm having to take pain pills and can't drive very long without pain. If i wouldn't loose so much money i would trade the car.
I bought my honda accord 9/11/13 and even on the test drive noted the uncomfortable seat to the salesman, but feeling positive about honda's reputation and my positive experience driving my 1996 accord for 18 years, i bought the 2013 honda accord, thinking the seats will soften like a pair of sneakers. It has now been only five days since i took delivery and my back pain has gotten worse from the position and hardness of both seat and back in this new 2013 honda. And now i have have read about all the same complaints with this seating on my websites. I cannot tolerate this pain.
Soon after purchasing my 2013 honda accord ex-l w/nav, i began to suffer severe lower back pain. It is impossible to adjust this seat into a comfortable driving position. Within 10 minutes, my legs and hips begin to go numb. Fatigue forms in my arms and an acute tightness forms at the abse of my spine. The seats are perforated matte leather and they grip you and create "hot" spots that cause constant shifting in your seat. It is so uncomfortable, i must constantly adjust the seat while driving. This is extremely dangerous and is an accident waiting to happen. I am fatigued and in lingering pain upon exiting the vehicle, even after only 30 minutes of driving. I complained to the dealer and asked them to buy the car back from me. They offered me approximately $5,500 less than i spent on the purchase one week earlier (with 400 miles on the odometer). I refused their offer as i am unable to recoup that loss so i may purchase another car. They also claim they had never heard a complaint like mine. Unlikely, as the internet is full of this particular complaint against honda and many other manufacturers of late. This vehicle is not safely drivable as designed. Honda needs to change the seats!
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the driver side headrest caused her neck pain. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The vin was not included.

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) 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.
While driving to chicago (2 hours away) with my wife and 11 year old my maintenance minder light came on to tell me it was time to get an oil change.since it was a sunday i couldn't take it in.i couldn't make an appointment until 7/16 to get in for an oil change.on 7/16 i sat in my car to go home, but my dash lights were all lit up.brakes, electric steering, abs, check engine, my speedometer wasn't working and many more lights remained on.i called the dealer and they told me it was safe to drive it over to them although i heard a grinding sound, my brakes were soft and my steering wheel was very stiff.i went very slow since my speedometer or mileage wasn't working at all.the next morning my dealer called and claimed that a rodent was the culprit who chewed on some main wiring harness of the entire car.i find this hard to believe because why didn't it happen after the oil light came 2 days before?why didn't my wife's suv get affected by this?this is a huge quality control issue that honda needs to fix.what would have happened if all of these lights came on while i was driving my family on the highway?
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, she applied the brake pedal but it dropped to the floor board. The brake pedal independently returned to the correct position. The contact stated that the vehicle surged and the rpm reading increased when in stop-and-go traffic. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician was able to duplicate the failure but was not able to diagnose the cause of the failure or a remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 1,200.
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.
Vehicle stability assist is de-activated due to dtc 85-01 signal failure indicated in electronic power steering module. Because of this, anti-lock brakes are not functional.ordered replacement vsa modulator through local repair shop first week in aug 11, 2020, but honda america estimates ship date of dec 21, 2020 (19 weeks)! they ship thousands of new cars every week with new vsa modulators, meanwhile i have to drive my car with the critical safety equipment deactivated!
I recently had a very serious issue with my 2013 honda accord regarding unintended acceleration.while pulling into a parking spot at a garden nursery i applied the brakes but they did not respond in anyway, the engine then revved up making a loud noise, the car lunged forward over several railroad tie barriers, bushes, hit a truck that was parked in the lot and came to rest in a mulch pile.luckily the truck and mulch stopped the car and i was able to put it into park and turn it off.there is considerable amount of damage to the side of my car and the property of the nursery. This happened on may 8, 2014 at 5:00 pm.it was a gravel parking lot, dry sunny day. This honda was purchased new in 2013 and is a 4cyl with cvt transmission and has approximately 13,000 miles.the car had to be towed to the dealership where it sits now waiting for a honda representative to investigate this issue.it was a blessing that no one was standing in front of my car.much of my decision to purchase a honda was because of reliability and safety; however, i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.this is my first honda and i am thoroughly disappointed and alarmed after this incident.
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.
Vehicle was parked. Upon pressing brake to shift to "drive" the vehicle jolted multiple times then accelerated forward. The vehicle collided with another vehicle directly in front injuring a person who was between both vehicles at the time.
My car abs system proplem.
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.
Two false tpms low pressure warnings, second occurrence 7/19/2013. Tire pressure during both occurrences was correct when subsequently measured with tires 'cold' after warning.tpms was recalibrated after both false warnings. Tpms is an indirect system, computed through abs system. Checked with american honda for a firmware update, none pending.
The traction control, brake, power steering and fcw error lights come on while driving. The message states "fcw failed". This happens while driving, parked and on all road surfaces. Even while parked in the garage. All lights come on at the same time.the come on as the vehicle gets to normal operating temperature.
I currently have the front collision warning and lane departure failure readout display along with the following yellow service lights; fcw, ldw , esp, abs, electronic steering and tps lights activated.the front collision warning, lane departure safety feature, anti-braking system and electronic stability are not working at this time as i drove to the dealership this morning while it was snowing (vehicle obviously in motion). I"m currently waiting for resolution from the dealership and american honda corporation.
In early 2019, after my honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, i began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 honda accord.sometimes, my car starts right away.but more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature.when repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, i hear a 'clicking' type noise when i press the start button, but my car does not turn over.after several attempts pushing the 'start' button, my car eventually starts (sometimes after a few seconds and a few attempts, sometimes after many attempts and two or three minutes).the problem occurs randomly, when the car is cold and warm.i never experienced this problem until honda replaced the water pump on my car earlier this year.based on other web posts, this sounds like a common problem with the push button start feature in 2013 honda accords.once my car starts, it runs well.at this present time, i have no other mechanical problems other than the push button start feature.however, my car's failure to start is a safety issue in itself if a car fails to start in a situation where a quick get away is necessary (for example, flood, wild fire, or other natural or other disaster that may require that my car start without delay).
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 lockedas 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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that as a part of preventive maintenance the brakes were replaced. The contact stated that while driving and applying the brake, there was an abnormal squealing sound coming from the brakes. The contact stated that the sound was like metal rubbing together. Additionally, while reversing and applying the brakes, there was a whistling sound coming from the brakes. The contact took the vehicle to honda of slidell located at (510 e howze beach rd, slidell, la 70461, (985) 649-9091) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the calipers froze in place and caused severe damage to the rotors. The contact was informed that the calipers and rotors needed to be replaced. The contact was provided a loaner until the repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000. *lnconsumer stated there is a discrepancy in invoices regarding oil change mileage and noticed side door dent caused by service dealer.consumer has contacted the manufacturer and the dealer.
I had pulled into a parking stop and stopped.i was about to reverse to park straight when my car shot forward.the brakes were not working and the car accelerated forward until it was stopped by a brick column.i was in a parking lot in front of a retail strip center.
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.....
Before my car was a year old, my brakes started sporadic squeaking.on the first visit, i was told a manufacturing problem.on the second visit, i was told the next step was cutting into rotors.on the third visit, i was told my rotors were resurfaced.the following day, after the third visit, my breaks continued to make noise.i reached out to corporate, who advised i had to go thru other channels (back at the dealership) before i can file a complaint with them.i am getting frustrated due to multiple visits to the service department and my issue is not getting fixed.i should not have to drive around in a brand new car and my brakes are squeaking.i am paying too much money for this problem; in which the service dept/ dealership is giving me the runaround.
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 damageto my vehicle , shrubs,neighbor'spatio and my balcony.this was a terrifying event.investigations by insurance co and mechanic arepending at this time.
Car was in drive of home, started car and all warning lights stayed on. Would not clear. Drove vehicle to dealership, brakes were barley operable, car was sluggish and power steering almost non-existent. Could have been very dangerous had this happened on the freeway. Dealership first replaced the battery, clearing the codes for a few minutes, the next day they are replacing a bad vsa module that control the abs and other safety functions of the car. The accord only has 67k miles and these sensors are 1700 plus dollars. Researching, i have found a great deal of these failing -usually when the honda is in motion. I was fortunate mine was stationary at the time.
Iam hearing a squealing sound when applying the brakes. Thought it was the brake wear indicator so i che ked and pads are fine. I then googled problem and was surprised to see that honda is aware of this problem. My car vin# is shown to be included in the affected group. The brakes seem fine but this is very annoying for a new car. I will contact plaza honda first thing tomorrow.
I own a 2013 honda accord ex-l v6 with 7520 miles on hit. I approached my gated community on friday evening, june 28, 2013 at approximately 9:45pm, hit the remote to open the gates, placed my foot on the brake and there was no brake reaction whatsoever.the car continued to roll forward.fortunately, the gate opened before i hit it.i continued to my home, checking the brakes and they appeared to work, opened up the garage and was putting the car in the garage when i put my foot on the brake and again the car's brakes had no reaction and i hit the wall and door leading into my house. The weather conditions were clear and no rain.fortunately, the car has minimal damage; however, the house has substantial damage.i am unable to close and lock my kitchen door leading from the garage into the house. I have researched this problem, and this appears to be a problem with this year along with previous years.
I've been experiencing problems with my brakes after purchasing this vehicle. There are 35,000 miles on the car, and this is my 3rd set of brakes, and second set of rotors to be replaced. I've brought it into the dealership to have the issue looked at, but they couldn't find any problems. I brought it into a local automotive center for a second look, as the brakes were grinding, and felt like wobbling when slowing. They replaced the brakes and the drivers side front rotor. There was a little wobbling and squealing after the repair, but the grinding stopped. I brought it up to the mechanic, and he said it was expected from new brakes. I brought it into the dealership 6 months later because the wobbling started getting worse, and the grinding started again. This time, the brakes were worn completely on both sides in the front, and the rotors were gouged.
On 07/04/2015 i was coming out of my garage as i made turn i hit my break to slow down...but my break wouldn't work...i pressed the break hard repeatedly. ..but break pedal was going all the way to floor...car woudnt stop and automatically accelerated. ..i prepared myself for crash on the wall so i can stop the car...but fortunately brake re engaged after repeatedly pressing it.if i was on freeway i dont know what would have happened. ..big safety hazard.
Car stalls going thru intersections which i complained about when i bought it in ft .myers in 2013. I have paperwork that says nothing is wrong with it however, this has happened numerous times over the years. So far, i am lucky not to be hit!brakes locked up while driving on 7/15/19 , i started to turn into a driveway and the brakes locked and i had to veer onto their lawn on an embankment, ran over a cementparking block and throw it into park and turn it off in order to stop the car from hitting anyone! the car was towed from prospect ave and brady street in milwaukee wi. Russ darrow honda ran a safety check and said it was fine. I think they should check the vsa modulator. Abra auto repair in glendale had it towed and said they couldn't duplicate it and sent it to russ darrow honda. Clearly, something is wrong with it! i have a fl drivers license and i am in wi now for the summer, which is where this happened. I have pictures but i don't know how to upload them to your site?
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 thatbrakes are applied.
2013 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to technical flaw with vehicle. *ldthe consumer stated while attempting to park the vehicle suddenly lurched forward over a curb. The air bag did deploy the vehicle was totaled. The consumer requested to have the vehicle inspected. Updated 10/02/2017
Premature brake wear. Replaced front rotors and front pads last year due to vibration along with rear pads. Around june 2015 with 55,000 miles on car. Then the rear caliper seized up on the passenger side in march 2016, 70245 miles. Rear rotors resurfaced and pads replaced. Now i just had service done because rear driver side caliper seized up. They also did front rotors and pads due to excessive wear. Mileage 79000.

While parking, but stopped, the car sped out of control. Foot brake and hand brake failed to stop the speeding car.it leaped over a curb and into a retention pond.the doors refused to unlock. Driver and passenger escaped thru windows and onto the roof.previously, the unattended car had locked itself and windows and sunroof had opened on several occasionsthe two fobs were on cup hooks in the house. Honda shows no interest.
Fcw system failed, abs, tps message popped up out of the blue. I braked and the car spoed up, i had to pull up my emergency brakes, and almost rear ended another car with infant because of this. Took the car to a certified mechanic with 18 certs. The brake lines, fluid, rotors, fluid were perfect. No leaks, the message is still up.he cannot pull up any codes. I am taking a screenshot of this statement with todays front page paper indicating the date i am sending this to you. Please send out an emergency alert so other honda drivers do not have to use their emergency brake and possibly killing an infant or other passengers when their brakes fail.
Intermittent activation of vehicle stability assist, electrical power steering, and tire pressure monitoring system lights. Diagnosed as yaw rate sensor failure requiring replacement of anti-lock braking system modulator.
All the lights are basically on the 2013 honda accord ex which includes the brake, abs, tps. I noticed that even when i have not pressed the brakes, the brakes are applied by the car. Expecially in low/idle speeds. This results in me habving to press the gas pedal and results in a rough ride. I took the car into the dealer today 4/1/2021. Dealer states the car has a faulty vsa modulator and quoted $1400 for the part (57110-t2fa17) and $510 for the labor. Also said the they need to bleed the brake fluid and replace it. And this same part was replaced back on 11/5/2014. This car is not part of any active recall, but the vsa modulator has now failed twice. The car was purchased brand new 4/20/2013. Searching online shows honda recalled several other models and years for the vsa modulator. I have attached some of other recalls that affected the vsa modulator
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.

Driving on a busy s.e. Street in washington dc, driving about 20 to 30 mph., heard a noise that sounded like a tire blowing out or some other type of noise emanating from underneath the car. I tried to press the brake, but instead the car accelerated and would not stop. It sped up at least another 15 to 20 more mph, and again, would not stop. There were vehicles in the back, so i could not use the emergency brake or shut the car off. There were also vehicles on the side and in front of my vehicle. I had to make a decision on how to slow the car down without hitting any pedestrians or any other vehicles. Decided to try and stop the car by hitting something stationary and ran into a set of steps that belonged to an office building. Airbags deployed and two passersby stopped to assist me and my passenger out of the car. We were both transported by ambulance to a hospital with substantial injuries to the chest, rib, neck and back for myself and the passenger.
Front brake squeal when driving, steering or applying brakes. Sounds like the wear sensors but in fact i was told by the dealer (bay ridge honda) in brooklyn n.y. That it is 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 bulletin.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving approximately 55 mph with the cruise control activated, the cruise control would not deactivate and the vehicle would not slow down or stop when the brakes were applied. The vehicle proceeded through a red light and crashed into two other vehicles. A police report was filed and there were no injuries reported. Prior to activating the cruise control, the brakes operated normally. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 15,000.
During braking, as you are getting close to stopping the car, i feel little jerk before the car completely stops. This jerk is like couple of times and can be repeated. This probably due to improper abs system. If you move to neutral and then brake, this issue is non-existent. I suspect some electronic aspect with mechanical brakes creating this jerk.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the steering wheel went to the right and was difficult to turn.the brake pedal was depressed however, was slow to respond. The vehicle was taken to honda of bridgewater (1201 us-22, bridgewater township, nj 08807 (908) 722-5566) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the steering needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000. Invalid vin.
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.
I was parked in an alley behind a coffee shop.i turned the car on and put my seat belt on and put it in gear.it suddenly lurched forward and struck a parked car one car's width from me, ricocheted and hit another parked car (which then hit the car next to it).i could not stop the car, though i tried; then i pivoted again and hit and took down the cinder block wall of a garage. I turned the car off either right before hitting the garage wall or right after.no airbags were ever released. In retrospect, after the shock at all the damage, i believe something was defective about my new honda accord.

While driving during the week of 07/15/2021, the steering became hard to control and pulled to left very strongly. I managed to get home. The steering was reset and yesterday 07/24/2021 the issue occurred again. Steering wheel is very hard to control and freely "turns" to the left. I cannot drive this vehicle and cannot afford costly repair but this is a true safety issue none the less. It is impossible to control the steering. I drive less than 30 miles per week and rarely go over 45 miles per hour as i use this vehicle for errands only since i retired. I am mortified to think about what could happen if i were on the interstate driving 65 mph!

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

Car steering wheel turns all the way right on its own. You have to use force in order to correct the cars path of travel. Steering issue occurred in our driveway with the engine running and we were backing. The issue continue when we placed the car in drive.
I was driving and suddenly lost control over the steering of the car.it became almost impossible to steer and almost ran into another car. Was able to forcefully turn the wheel with all my might.pulled over safely and turned the car off and when i turned it back on the problem was gone. Brought by car into the bode shop for unrelated issues and they experienced the problem while moving the car to another location. They will be bringing the car to honda service for review. I am uncomfortable driving this vehicle especially with my wife and daughters in the car.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving, the steering wheel ceased with the power steering warning light illuminated. The steering wheel became difficult to turn.

There was no warning or warning light and dealer is unable to explain the failure other than it is an ā€œinternal issue.ā€¯
No power steering, went out while driving. Low mileage, always did manu repairs.
When turning my steering wheel while driving my engine shuts down and restarts. When this happens my steering wheel locks up
The first time,while driving on the highway, my car steered to the right as i was driving west. It was like i was loosing control. It terrified me.it seemed like i was about to go over the bridge.it scared me so bad that i began having anxiety issues when driving over a bridge.it has happened several other times as well. I can no longer drive on the highway because i am terrified.i now only drive streets at 35 to 40 mph.please listen to what i am saying. I felt like that it was something wrong with the car but didnt know what to do. I thought maybe it was just my imagination so isought psychiatric advice.the doctor diagnosed me has being afraid of height, but i knew better.i have been driving these highways for years and never had any fears.please, please, please, please recall these cars. Please don't let there have to be an accident before something is done to resolve the issue. We bought these cars in good faith of being one of the finest.because i felt like it was the car, i have already decided to get rid of mines as soon as i can.
I was driving my 2013 honda accord in a school zone and attempted to turn left, but the steering wheel was very difficult to turn. I needed to use a lot of force in order to turn the steering wheel to the left. I pulled over and stopped the car. When stopped, i still couldn't turn the wheel to the left, but it could be spun to the right continuously like it wasn't connected to anything. I called my honda dealership and was told to bring it in. They are replacing the steering gear box but it will cost me about $3,000.i consider myself lucky in that i was in a school zone and driving slowly, and not on the highway. Otherwise, i would have lost control of my car while going at a higher speed.
While driving on i-95, i experienced a sudden loss of power steering. A caution light appeared on the instrument panel. I was within a few miles of a honda dealership, so i drove there. After the car sat for a few minutes, the indicator light was no longer on; and, the power steering appeared to be normal. I was told the problem was transitory and i resumed traveling on i-95.less than 20 miles later, the same problem happened again. I pulled to the side ofthe road, and once again shut the vehicle off for a few minutes. I then drove approximately 250 miles without incident. Later that same day, while driving on another highway at 60 mph, the power steering suddenly failed. At the same time, the caution indicator light appeared on the instrument panel.i made an appointment for two days later at another honda dealership. On the day of the appointment, while driving in city traffic at 25 mph, the power steering failed three times before i arrived at the dealer.that day, the service department was unable to find the source of the problem. They cleared the fault indicator from the computer's memory; and, told me to return if the problem occurred again.several days later, while traveling on an expressway at 55 mph, the power steering failed one more time, along with the indicator light again appearing on the instrument panel at the same time.the following day, i brought the vehicle back to the dealership. They informed me, that after talking with honda advisors via telephone, honda was aware of the problem; and, instructed them on a fix. After performing that fix, they said honda informed them, that if the power steering didn't fail within 500 miles, it wouldn't recur in the lifetime of the car. After driving approximately 400 miles since the fix, the power steering again failed. The car is going back to honda, again.
The power steering just stopped working as the car was being driven.it also stalled out and was hard to start back up.had it towed to dealer where the fix was the repair of the "torque angle sensor and harness."
Steering rack/ pinion : cars steering wheel just randomly turning on its own to the left and become hard to steer when driving on highway at higher speed
Same problem described in this article: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/honda-accords-under-investigation-for-steering-problems-a4542071576/. About two weeks ago it just started pulling dramatically to the right with no warning - no icons lit up on the dashboard. It is such an aggressive pull that i almost went into the highway median a handful of times. Once i turned the wheel a bit to the left it would lessen or stop only to reoccur a short time later. It is at my honda dealership now and the part is ordered and they said it's under warranty. Amazingly the head technicians didn't know anything about it. I had to google it to find out how big of an issue it is. Anyway, it is real and is a major issue.
First occasion it happened, the steering wheel jerked to the right, the steering wheel light did not come on.. (30 mph)second occasion it happened, the steering wheel jerked to the right, the steering wheel light did not come on. I was driving roughy 20 mph.third time it happened, i was driving 70 mph and almost hit the guy next to me. The steering wheel light did not come onthe fourth time it happened, i was driving 40 mph and the steering wheel light did come on. I did not have power steering for about 30 miles.the fifth time it happened, i was driving about 80 mph and the light did not come on.
In attempting parallel parking practice with son, experienced total power steering failure (multiple instances) when wheel was fully turned. Vehicle was either stopped to turn wheel into parking spot, or moving very slow (under 2 mph).
In about three weeks ago, when sometimes i turn the wheels i loose the power and the car restarted. It making me scary to drive the car.i went to the honda dealer in collage park, maryland with the recall letter for the eps system that i received and explained to them the problem that i am having, but i did not get any help. They said that there was an update on my system last year and that the problem is not caused by the eps system and i have to pay $130 for the diagnose.
Steering wheel turns to right when car is started...car steering on its own...very dangerous!
Power steering locked up while driving. Warning light came on. Problem repeated3 to 4 times. Steering hard to turn in either direction. Safely drive to a side. Turn car ignition off for a minute that reset steering to normal. At traffic singnal when stopped at 0 speed clicking noise felt at break padel and at accelerator. Take it to a deler in orlando found steering rack gear box need to replace(52-02) also needs wheel alignment.
On wednesday, april 3, 2019 we made a 600 mile trip from cookeville, tn to shelby township, mi with no problems noted. The next morning, backing out of the driveway i noticed the steering was normal at one point, i rotated the wheel to the right and the wheel continued turning by itself while the car was not even in motion. I rotated the wheel to the left and met with resistance. I rotated the wheel to the right and the wheel started turning by itself. I then noticed the eps light was on. I continued to rotate the wheel back and forth. I got to the center positioned and the wheel then turned rapidly to the right by itself . I immediately decided to take the car to the nearest honda dealer. On the way there the wheel violently turned to the right and nearly caused me to run into the curb at 35 mph.i then arrived at jim riehl honda in sterling heights , michigan. They diagnosed the problem as a "position sensor". They related to me that they had downloaded the software and this seemed to have cleared the problem. While driving back to my next destination (10 miles) the original problem resurfaced. I called the dealership service department, which was closed. Ileft a message that i was bringing the car in monday morning, april 8, 2019.
I was sitting at a traffic light and the power steering quit while the car was stationary. Ten minutes later the power steering quit while i was making a right hand turn from a traffic light. In both cases the steering re-set itself after turning the vehicle off then starting it back up.
I purchased my 2013 honda accord last fall. It had 28,000 miles on it at purchase and has 36,700 miles today. Two weeks after i had an oil change and tires rotated, i began having issues with the power steering pulling left. While traveling at 50mph on a crowded city highway, my steering wheel jerked left and i could have hit the car in the lane next to me. The problem presented at intermittent times occurring later in a trip.i did an experiment in a parking lot; rolling forward very slowly, i let go of the steering wheel. The steering wheel spun to the left and the car executed a perfect 90-degree left turn by itself. The car did this again twice more despite turning the engine off for a period before turning it back on. I took it back to my local mechanic who could find no error code but could replicate the problem.after resetting the torque sensor, it was a bit better but not fixed as the car still wants to turn left. The steering is erratic sometimes it is hard to turn right and sometimes the steering feels loose. My local mechanic sent me to the dealership where i purchased the car who suggested i take it to a honda dealer.the dealer's service department also replicated the problem but could not fix it because the car did not show any error codes and honda will only reimburse them if the car shows two specific error codes. I followed their suggestion to call honda; [xxx].the regional case manager called me back, did not ask me any questions about my problem but rudely launched into a rapid-fire lecture about why honda was not responsible for fixing this problem in my car. Both mechanics who looked at my car state it needs a new power steering rack and this is a safety issue.i am a doctoral student, i cannot afford a $2500 car repair quoted by both mechanics.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Power steering failed.updated 9/25/15 *lnthe consumer stated the vehicle failed 3 times while driving between 10 and 35 mph. Updated 12/28/2015
Vehicle stability assist is de-activated due to dtc 85-01 signal failure indicated in electronic power steering module. Because of this, anti-lock brakes are not functional.ordered replacement vsa modulator through local repair shop first week in aug 11, 2020, but honda america estimates ship date of dec 21, 2020 (19 weeks)! they ship thousands of new cars every week with new vsa modulators, meanwhile i have to drive my car with the critical safety equipment deactivated!
The vehicle steering simply 'shut-down', or locked-up out of nowhere.it appears the power steering system simply failed.i was only able to regain control of the steering by bringing the vehicle to a full stop in order to turn it off and then restart it... As though i were rebooting a crashed computer!the issue repeated itself three times the next day, once while driving at full speed on a public street.we resolved to stop driving it, but by reflex i took it out the third consecutive day only to have the issue recur twice, thankfully none of these failures occurred while we were executing a turn, otherwise we may have crashed into something or someone, as some of the other complaints describe.i have now put the vehicle into storage until honda addresses the issue definitively, as others describe dealership diagnoses across the board, with virtually all admitting the issue was unresolved, even after repair or replacement of the diagnosed component(s).whether i simply have a lemon, or this is a recall issue in the making, i do not yet know, but what i do know is that this appears to be a very serious safety issue rendering the vehicle too dangerous to drive.
My steering stopped working while in a parking lot and fortunately not while making a turn. I was able to muscle it home but it was fighting me the whole time and i had to take very wide turns. There was a related recall for a steering software update and an extended warranty for a steering torque sensor. In this case it was the eps steering module which had to be replaced so it was not covered. Since there are known problems with the steering, i think the eps module should be considered in the recall/extended warranty bulletin since it impacts the same safety issue as the recall.
I pulled into store shut vehicle off and came out started it unable to turn steering wheel and warning light on. Can turn the vehicle wheel without extreme heavy force
Steering has a mind of its own.wanders lanes and driver has no control for several seconds.have drifted into other lanes while trying to control / steer but no response. This lasts for just a brief time but it's extremely unnerving. Recently the car turned hard right with no notice. Luckily had both hands on the wheel and steering worked enough to pull left before i ran off road.frankly, i am afraid to drive it.took the car to local dealer yesterday. They ran diagnostics and test drove but found no issues with steering. I advised that i could not retrieve the vehicle late yesterday but would do so this morning.several hours after that conversation, having heard that they found nothing wrong, the same rep called me and said "you can't drive this car".he relayed that technician was moving the car from the bay to the lot when the car took a hard right and nearly collided with another car parked in their lot. The tech brought the car back to the shop and up on the rack where they observed the car again make a hard right turn. No one was behind the wheel when this occurred.i just rcvd an estimate for repair ~ $3,700.00.electronic power steering rack assembly accounts for $3,140.00 of this cost. Alignment & some other diagnostic costs take it up from there.
My honda accord suddenly started having steering issues. One day i was driving and my wheel suddenly just jerked to the right causing me to almost loose control of the vehicle. As i continued to drive the vehicle over the next month or two the issue became more frequent constantly jerking as i'm driving becoming hard to keep straight and wanting to veer off to the right. Eventually, one day the wheel just completely locked. I brought the car to the dealership to be repaired. After receiving the vehicle back and the repairs supposedly being done the steering continues to suddenly jerk right and the wheel tightens from time to time. These issues caused me to almost loose control of the vehicle several times. A few months after i'd starting experiencing these issues i read that a probe had been opened about similar issues.
I was driving down hill on a slightly inclined city street when the car suddenly veered to the left. I was unable to control the steering and in panic was unable to stop the car before crossing several lanes and hitting a building. There were injuries to myself and my passenger. The car was a total loss and the building sustained structural damage. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*pm
Power steering shut down twice in two days.orange warning light came on each time.problem cleared after engine turned off for a minute or so, but returned after 20 further miles driving. Dealer verified there was an error code, said it would be covered under a warranty,and has kept the vehicle until repairs can be made.dealer stated that there are many problems like this, and cannot yet give me a date when it will be repaired, or even a date by which they can give me that date!
I made a right hand turn and proceeded down the street. The power steering did not work as i started down the street.i managed to pull over to side of street. The indicator light came on. Waited 5 minutes then continued driving,power steering did not work again and indicator light came on. As i proceeded to pull over again the power steering began to work. Luckily i was traveling at a slow speed when the powering steering failed.
Electric power steeringmy electric power steering light and vehicle stability light came on and the steering felt very loose.i turned the car off and back on and lights went away.went to the store and the two lights came on again.i immediately turned it back off and the lights went away again.i have read many people have lost control when the light came on and it makes me really nervous to drive the car now.
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.
Had gotten back in my car after a stop at a retail store. When i turned the car on the tire pressure light was blinking, the electric power steering light was on, and the vehicle stability assistlight was on. I pulled over at another store within a half mile. I got out and checked the tires for a possible flat - no problem. Turned car back on and same scenario with the 3 lights on. Only difference was the tire pressure light stopped flashing but stayed on continuously. I looked in car manual, page 6 of honda technology reference guide, under the heading of malfunction indicators and it said, "if an indicator remains on, there may be a problem; see your dealer".i will call my car dealer in the morning. I want to state that i still had full control of my power steering. I read of others losing the power steering but mine was okay. After the second stop the 3 malfunctioning indicator lights went out.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the steering wheel was extremely tight and hard to turn left and right. The contact mentioned that the failure was progressing. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering gear box needed to be replaced. In addition, the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was included in a service campaign to update the eps software and address the eps torque sensor but the contact was uncertain if the manufacturer solution would provide a remedy to prevent the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.
While driving, without any warning, the power steering cuts out.after shutting the car down it the steering works.i was on a highway & had close call accidents trying to pull over. It has now happened 4 times in 5 days. The vehicle has under 50,000 miles
05/25/14 while backing the vehicle out of my drive way i noticed the a thumping sound and a jerking from the vehicle which caused great alarm from me. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. When i took the vehicle in the kept it for about a day and told me that they could not find anything wrong with it and that the inspector said that the same thing was happening to a new vehicle, that the noise and jerking was just the way it was. They called it a hard shift. My car is not a daily driven vehicle being i have two other cars that i primarily use. At the time of the incident my car had aprox. 303 miles on it. Now several months later on 01/01/15 when i went to start my vehicle i noticed the same problem, and being that i had already taken it once to the dealer and them telling me nothing was wrong with it, i had no second thought of taking it out on the road. I proceeded to drive down my residential street and realized i had forgot something at home. So on the residential intersection i started to make a u turn when all of a sudden steering cut out on me in the middle of my turn. I narrowly missed oncoming traffic and stopped right before i hit the curb and a parked car. When i did stop and got my composure back i looked down and there was a steering wheel light on and a buzzing noise. All this while going no more then 6 miles and hour. At this current moment my car is less then 2 years old and has less then 400 miles on it and i cannot believe that this would happen to such a new car with so little miles on it. Following this incident i googled my car to see if i was the only one having this problem and lord behold i was not. There are numerous accounts of this happening to other people some resulting in serious accidents. But most of the cars in those incidents that i could see had about 20k to 30k miles on them and mine does not even have 1k on it yet.
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".
Power steering not working at all.got into my honda to go up the street but could not turn the steering wheel.notice the power steering light on.tried several time to cut the engine off and restart, but the system never came on.like riding a dead mule!
The eps gear box failed. It's hard to turn to one side while easy to turn on the other side. It's hard to be in control when to drive the car with this problem.
The steering wheels automatically become stiffer and hard to turn right or left while driving.it takes a lot of muscling to keep it under control before an accident occurs. This is the second time this incident occurred.my car has got 84000 miles on it and regularly serviced and maintained. The next day it happened it became normal as usual with no repairs. I understood laterthat there is no power steering fluid and this function is electrically controlled! from online, google search indicated several of the honda customers owning the same car model ear has experienced the same problems with the steering wheel. This situation is very dangerous especially in highway exits and entrances where car drives in over 50-60 miles.it can create life threatening accidents if not corrected. Dealers could not diagnose the problem and do not have the capability to fix it and might cost a future. I would like honda to recall this car and fix it immediately before another emergency situation, accident or threts to safety and life.
While driving on busy atlanta interstate at 55 mph the car became hard to steer all of the sudden and the eps light came-on on the dash board. Therefore, i had to muscle the car over into the shoulder and shut-off the car and restart it then the light went off and i was able to steer it properly. This has occurred twice so far.
While driving at approx. 25 mph, suddenly the power steering completely failed and power steering warning light came on. As i was only a couple of blocks from home, i was able to hard steer it home. Spouse turned engine off, started it back up and power steering reset. Took it to the dealer. Did diagnostic and determined :diagnose eps system per isis. Found faulty torque sensor. Replace complete power steering rack and perform alignment.after reading other similar complaints, i am hopeful that this will not happen again. It is extremely dangerous when this happens.
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.
In two incident that steering wheel stop working: last week while the car was parked and tried to drive it and today (oct 7, 2014) while i was driving between 35-40 mph the steering wheel was not working and i had to stop and switch the engine off and after 2 minutes start the car and it was fine.
My eps (electric power steering light) will randomly turn on making my vehicle incredibly difficult to return. I have taken it into a honda dealership and have been informed that it is due to faulty eps unit that need to be replaced. This has put my safety and the safety of others at risk because it makes my vehicle incredibly hard to turn and is unpredictable. Sometimes my eps works and sometimes it doesn't. I was able to show this issue to a dealership representative at car pros honda el monte who witness the eps light on and was unable to turn the steering wheel. This issue first appeared in april 2021 and has been gradually getting worse until now. I have taken this car into the dealership 3 times already, and was finally told about the faulty eps unit on the third trip.
While driving about 40mph in a straight line i suddenly lost power steering. I had the eps light show on my dash. I pulled over and restarted the car 2 or 3 times before the power steering came back to normal. The steering was incredibly hard to turn.a few hours later i brought the car to a honda dealer and they were able to confirm that an error code was logged during incident:dtc 71-01 motor angle sensor (sin/cos signals)unfortunately, they were not able to determine the cause of the above eps failure. They concluded that the issue is "intermittent" and that i should continue to drive the car and see if it happens again.i am afraid to drive this car now after this experience.
While changing lanes on the highway the steering wheel stiffened ,that caused me to go to the shoulder with breaking hard to stop from going into the guard rail.
While driving straight i lost power steering. After pulling off road i shut the car off and restarted it and the steering re-set itself.
There was a sudden loss of power steering control. The wheel suddenly turned to the left and was very difficult to return to neutral. We took it to the dealer and there were no diagnostic codes and they "re-set" everything. The problem returned about a week later. Warning lights were not evident in either instance of the problem.
My power steering dashboard light came on and the steering wheel would barely move.luckily this happened when i was parked and not while i was driving.did some research and found that this is an ongoing issue with 2013 accords.i had to tow the car to the dealer and pay them to replace the computer part that had gone bad.i'm just glad this didn't happen while i was driving.this car only has about 59,000 miles on it.
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.updated 06/13/13*lj
On 11/22/14 i was driving on a small residential street going under 15mph approximately 5 feet from the turn i was going to be making. A right hand turn.i heard a bang and my steering completely locked up.i hit the curb causing my right front passenger tire to blow.the steering was completely locked up and the vsa light was on.i followed the instructions in the owners manual and turned the car off and then on again which shut the vsa light off and the tow truck driver was able to turn the wheel slightly but made a terrible clunking noise.the vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was determined the steering rack was broken.now i am 2 weeks into this the dealership is struggling to get the car fixed, honda has not yet returned my call so not sure they will warranty the car, i'm paying for insurance on a rental and wonder if my honda is even a safe car to drive at this point.why isn't anything being done?is this going to take someone dying before it's dealt with?
When moving approximately 15 mph or making a routine turn, the power system failure light appears. All power assist is lost. I have taken vehicle to authorized honda dealership at least three time. Problem not corrected. Dealership suggest turn ignition off and restart. This works sometimes but not always. I fear for my safety due to this unpredictable ongoing problem!!! update 9/15/15*cw

Eps light randomly comes on and power steering is lost. Took car to honda in 2019 and the problem seemed to be fixed until about a week ago. Very scary and dangerous!
When driving the car it would turn easy to the right but turn hard to the left. We took it in to a dealership and they reprogrammed the neutral sensor because it lost its programming they say. The car drove good for a couple of days, but it started doing the same thing as before, but on the opposite side and started jerking to the left and over steering with out warning. We took it back to the same dealership and they now said it needed the whole steering rack replaced for $2300. However, there is an extended warranty on this problem that states this problem is covered and honda is supposed to pay for all cost associated with this problem. As stated above the problem got worse after it came back from the dealership.the service bulletin # is 15-056 which is the eps torque sensor which they said needed to be reprogrammed, which made the steering good only for a couple of days. With that said i am not sure how the eps torque sensor is not a defect covered under the extended warranty? the honda dealership as well as honda incorp. Claims this problem is not related to the torque sensor. The dealership and honda says the power steering gear box assembly needs to be replaced. The extended warranty bulleting says the power steering gear box assembly needs to be replaced and that honda is to pay for it.
The power steering failed light illuminated and wasn't able to steer. Was able to park and restart car and everything was fine. Took it to the dealers they replaced the steering rack. Car was at dealers for 6 days.
Car suddenly began pulling and steering to the right. Have to apply force to steering to keep it straight or turn or correct to the left. Happens when driving, and even when parked the front wheels and steering wheel will pull some to the right, steering wheel turns right on its own. Checked front tire pressure and that's ok, didn't resolve the issue.

Two weeks ago, my steering wheel pulled left quickly and then back.i thought i hit a rock.in the past two weeks same issue.yesterday, pulled out of the garage and the steering wheel indicator light came on.read the book. Restarted the engine.it went away.today, after driving about 5 minutes indicator light came on again. Steering wheel froze.restarted and ok.driving on major highway, indicator light came on and all steering was frozen.i am traveling, therefore had to find the closest honda dealer.i am now stranded for two days awaiting repair.i'm 8 hours from home, and now suspicious and worried whether i will return home safely.after reading some entries, i too had slow movements since i have owned this vehicle -- thought is was the new cvs engine.
While driving the car on a busy street, all of a sudden the steering wheel became extremely hard to turn either left or right. Stopped the car carefully and turned of the engine. After a while, turned the engine back on and the steering was fine. Call the dealer today about the problem and going to the dealership thursday july 05, 2018
Cannot steer when turning and when turning the wheels keep turning,cannot get the speed upnormally have to pump the gas hard for car to accelerate.
My power steering went out. Can't steer the car. It a fine yesterday. Steering wheel warning light is on. I was parked luckily when this happened. I can't use my car now.
Car pulls to the right,actually will jerk the steering wheel out of your hands. Only at low speeds and very intermittent. Dealership said i must have hit something and i didnā€™t. Cost to fix is more than the vehicle is worth. I believe this is a manufacturing defect.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated while driving at an unknown speed, the steering wheel became difficult to turn as the power steering warning light illuminated. The contact mentioned the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The techncian diagnosed that the rack and pinion failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 6,700.
My new 2013 honda accord ex-l has a push button start/stop.while driving with my foot on the gas and the car in drive (its an automatic), if you accidentally push the engine start/stop button, it cuts the power to the engine. So you can effectively turn the car off, loose power to the engine and loose the power steering while the car is in drive and you are driving.i believe this is a severe safety issue, since you would not be able to do this to a car with a keyed ignition while you are driving.additionally, the engine start/stop button is right next to the air conditioning buttons. I was trying to adjust the air conditioning while i was driving and couldn't take my eyes off the road to look at the air conditioning buttons.
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
We bought the honda accord from the dealership brand new and took delivery 11/4/2013.on saturday 11/16/2019, with just over 40,000 miles on the car we noticed that the power steering was not functioning.it was not only hard to steer but also would continue progressing in the direction turning.we took the car back to the dealership on monday 11/18/2019 where they stated that the rack, power steering needed replace for a total cost of $2,797.49.contacted honda customer service and they refused to help.contacted the extended warranty company since the extended warranty expired 12 days earlier.they wouldn't help.this was a very dangerous failure on a vehicle that was well taken care of and has very low millage.did some research and found and article in edmunds "feds probe 2013 honda accord for power steering failure", estimate 374,000 complains about the 2013 honda accords.isn't that enough to force honda to do a recall?
I was driving on busy 4 lane road and was turning to the left to get in the turn lane when the steering wheel became very hard to move. I was able while struggling to make the turn. It was lucky as there was no oncoming traffic. I had the car immediately towed to the dealer and now have a $3,000 repair bill to fix the power steering. I have noticed all the complaints going back to the original year the vehicle was built and cannot believe that this problem has not caused a recall.
Steering began pulling hard to the left within a relatively short space of time, 2-3 days. After checking the tire pressure on all four tires and discovering no variants, we knew there was a serious problem! our safety and that of others was at risk! the problem was confirmed when the local honda dealer said they could not perform an alignment on our vehicle until the steering system was fixed.then, in order to make the vehicle safe to drive, the dealer said our only option was to replace the rack and pinion/power steering system in order to make it possible to align the wheels on the car.the dealer replaced said components on april 6, 2021. The component in question was not inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance representatives.however, it was inspected by our dealership who replaced the faulty steering system. There was no warning of any type before the steering began pulling to the left! we were surprised that this should happen with a honda and especially onewith less than 100,000 miles.

Iba conduciendo y de momento se puso dura la direccin.lo escanean, le borran el error y enciende sin problema, posteriormente al apagarlo nuevamente presenta la direccin dura.le borran nuevamente el error y mientras no se apague no falla.i was driving and at the time the direction got hard.they scan it, error it error and it turns on without problem, after turning it off again it presents the hard address. The error is cleared again and as it is not turned off, it does not fail.
When reversing from a parking space and while turning the steering wheel to the left, the eps light indicator came on and my steering wheel was very hard to turn/would not turn at all. I shut off the car 3 times after waiting a minute each time. The light still came one and the wheel was still stuck. After waiting about 5 minutes and restarting, it went away. Took my car to the dealership today and it is there now. They are stating i may need to use my extended warranty for coverage but after researching, seems to be a glitch in the torque censor. Hoping they will do the software update without needing to use my warranty.
When driving all of a sudden power steering fails all the lights on the dashboard flash on and off and all the electrical's shut off including heat/ac. Everything goes back to normal after a few seconds. This happens randomly and at various speeds.
Power steering failure shows up on the dashboard, and power steering fails. After turning off/ on car the problem is resolved, but this keeps happening. Took to the dealership, but they could not find anything wrong. They suspected it could be due to the battery, which i had replaced. Once i left the dealership, the power steering failed again. I have been reading about problem regarding the power steering in 2013 honda accords all over the internet.
While driving my 2013 honda accord, it will suddenly veer left or right without warning.steering goes from tight to loose at any given turn/time.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the power steering failed and the power steering light illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times; however, the technician was unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000.
While backing out of a residential driveway onto a busy neighborhood street, the steering wheel locked up and the steering malfunction warning light came on. I attempted to steer the vehicle but the electronic power steering(eps) was countering the steering effort. I tried multiple times to restart the vehicle in hopes to regain steering control, but the vehicle would not operate properly. The only way i was able to regain steering control was with the car off and in neutral, meaning i had no ability to accelerate to maneuver the vehicle from oncoming traffic, relying only on the momentum of the sloped road to help guide the vehicle safely away from traffic lanes.i had the vehicle towed the the dealer the next morning. Service adviser looked up vehicle history and the recall for eps controller software had already been performed 2 years prior. Honda had extended the warranty on the rack and pinion system due to known torque sensor failure issues. Adviser said if, obd scan shows fault code relating to torque sensor failure, honda would cover complete cost to replace entire rack and pinion system. Hours later, adviser contacts me and says the scan shows that it was not the the torque sensor that failed, but the electronic power steering computer failed and needed to be replaced at my cost. I argued that there was no possible way for the consumer to prevent such an issue from occurring, and the fact that a computer system controlling the steering failed while i was operating the vehicle is an alarming safety issue that american honda should look into and i should not have to bear the burden of paying for such a repair. Vehicle has 83,100 miles, original owner and all scheduled maintenance performed at same dealer. Never had prior steering issues and was never advised of any potential issues. Honda sympathetically only agreed to cover half the repair cost.
I turned my vehicle on and had no power steering. The power steering light was on, indicating that there was a problem. I was able to drive it to the dealer where they told me the power steering torque had gone bad. To repair the vehicle, i would need to have the power steering rack replaced - over $2k! although my vehicle is less than 2 years old, i have passed the 35k mile warranty. This is a pretty painful bill to be forced to pay with such a new car!! why is this not recalled if so many are having issues with this?!!
So this has now happened 3 times in the last few months, once about a month ago and twice last week (after having the car dropped off to fix the brake tsb that causes a squeak on turns). I will be driving down the road from aggressive to normal driving and all of a sudden i look at my dash only to see all the warning lights on. Once this happens you can see the mpg indicator has a delay, a change in behavior of the cars controls, ldw switch no longer functions, and ldw and fcw stop working. The car continues to drive but you can tell all electronics are experiencing a delay or issue with the exception of the navi and radio. Some of the lights go away and come back as you drive, and after turning the car on and off a few times all lights turn off with the exception of fcw and ldw with the "fcw system failure" message which remain, that goes away after a few hours.
On 4/12/2019, i was driving home from work at around 24:00 (midnight) on freeway 22 westbound near the block that i suddenly realized i lost control of my steering wheel while i was traveling at 70mph plus. The steering wheel icon light up on my dashboard. This happened so fast at a curve area of the freeway, i turned on my emergency light and slowed the car down by hitting the break. There were around 4 cars to my right when this happened. Fortunately, i was able to safely reach the exit lane to the right due to the curvature of the freeway turning left by going straight. As i slowed down the car on the exit lane, i yanked the steering wheel very hard to the left then right to maneuver the car to stay in the lane. After i exited the freeway on haster street, i yanked the steering wheel very hard to the right to make the turn and found a small street then come to a stop. At this time, the steering wheel icon still illuminated on my dashboard. I turned of the car after put it to park then turned it back on and the icon disappeared. I got control of steering wheel back. I proceeded to garden grove street heading west toward my home. At the first red light on garden grove, i stopped and did not steer the wheel. Again, the steering wheel locked on me again. The icon appeared again on my dashboard. I again turned off and on the car and the icon disappeared and i had my control back. From there, i drove slowly in the right lane to my home. This time, there was no problem.on 4/13/2019, which is today, i dropped off my car at honda world dealer on 13600 beach blvd, westminster, ca 92683 and told one of the reps about the problem. He did the inquiry on my car and system showed there was a recall of eps gearbox replacement at this dealership. I hope nhtsa will take this serious and help people like me. It's extremely dangerous to drive with no control of the steering wheel.
I've had my car for about two years now and about a month into me owning the vehicle i was driving around town and the steering wheel locked up and the eps light came on for about 5 seconds and then cleared. I took it to the honda dealership where i purchased the car and their service department could not find anything wrong. I havnt had any problems up until last week. I was driving home on the freeway doing about 55 mph and all of a sudden the steering wheel locks up and the eps light comes on. I had to muscle the car over a few lanes to get to the emergency lane to avoid hitting anyone. After a few seconds the eps light clears and the steering wheel function goes back to normal. Since this happened once before i figured it will be fine. I thought that until my steering wheel locked up on me again a few miles down the road. Then again as i am a few miles from home. I had to drive to school and from school the next day and only had access to my car and my power steering locked up about a dozen times. I don't feel safe driving my car and i'm setting up an appointment for later on this week to see what's going on.
While sitting at a stop light on city street with hands on steering wheel, something jerked it to the left and i had no power steering, i got over steering manually into a parking lot. I turned ignition off and back on and it started working properly again.
Traveling on freeway and a power steering indicator light turned on (see image). The steering became extremely difficult and the car was slightly swaying (similar to driving in a high wind area, except there was no wind). Once exiting the freeway and decreasing the speed the steering became increasingly difficult. The car experienced a complete power steering failure. Once safely at a gas station the car was shut off and turned on again. At this point, the power steering returned to normal. Car was driven to a honda dealership for inspection and servicing.

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

Steering gets pulled to one side. Thought might be the alignment but that did not fix anything
I had called up nhtsa earlier also to report the problem but they said - report that to honda america. Nevertheless, i'm putting it here.my 2013 honda accord that had ~36000 miles on it gave me a hard time; as i was driving on the highway with my family; the power steering gave up, it became super heavy and i almost lost control of the vehicle. Luckily, i was able to get off the highway and save my family.off the highway, i turned off the engine and started it back; and now the steering was back to normal. As i was not far from home, i drove slowly and carefully back home. On reaching home, i called up american honda and they said - they never heard of such an issue and nothing could be done as the vehicle was out of warranty.the following days, i called up nearby honda dealers but could not get anything concrete and so took it to one of the dealers who simply changed the power steering electronic module and the issue was sorted.
While driving the vehicle on city streets, the power steering fails, makingit 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!
As i was turning into a parking lot, the electric power steer froze up.i had no control over the steering and almost went into a building. Also another car was coming the other direction and had to stop short just shy of hitting my car. It worked again once i turned off the car and restarted it. When i came out of the store, the steering locked up again when i try to get out of the parking space. I felt unsafe to drive the car and had it towed to the dealership.
While driving on a 2 lane road, i suddenly lost power in my steering and as i was approaching a curve i nearly crashed into the car next to me. The steering light came on and steering the car was nearly impossible. I continued to drive and exited a the nearest exit and turned off the car. When i turned it off and on again the light on the dashboard vanished and the steering was back to normal. Since then i haven't felt comfortable driving the vehicle.i called my local honda service departmentand they said that without the light on or the issue being apparent, there is nothing they can do. I am concern with this issue as it implies a serious safety issue. I have read some posts and this seems to be a problem with this year and model.
Driving when power to steering went out. In motion/ city streetauto in to dealer 3 wks prior on recall service and power steering level checked and report indicates "checked and ok at this time.other complaints on line of same problem with this model - waiting eval by honda north tomorrow a.m
Loss of steering around a turn. Near crash.
This morning noticed the steering felt a little stiff. I started driving down the street and it would randomly pull to the left hard.. All of a sudden it would yank the car left into the other lane. Vehicle has not been to the dealership yet.. Just saw this on the news the other evening
Sudden loss of power steering and power steering warning light appeared while vehicle was in motion on city street. Continued to drive vehicle and power steering returned after 20 to 30 minutes. Indicator light shut off 30 to 40 minutes after power steering returned.
The power steering light came on; and lost all power steering power. The incident happened while i was turning left. With great difficulty i was able to steer out of traffic. The symptom went away after the vehicle was turned off and turned on. The symptom again happened after about 5 minutes of driving.
The steering will act on its own, sometimes fighting against the input of the driver. There arenā€™t any trouble lights on the dash or anything indicating a problem. Sometimes the steering wheel will turn fully in one direction completely on its own. If you donā€™t have a tight grip on the steering wheel at all times, it can push the vehicle in directions you donā€™t intend it to go. Has been happening regularly since it started in july 2019.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the steering wheel went to the right and was difficult to turn.the brake pedal was depressed however, was slow to respond.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000. Invalid vin.
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.

My car is 2013 accord bought brand new from gardena honda and no other mechanic touched it. Since 2013, i have serviced my car at the same location. My car was perfectly fine however, once i received the battery recall letter i decided to take my car into gardena honda. Please note my car still has less than 30,000 miles on it. August 2017 i went to get my car checked for the battery recallthey said everything was fine and that they applied konshi bond to protect bms. Two days later after work my car did not start (stationary). Check engine was on, check steering light on & traction light on plus low pressure on. I immediately felt unsafe to drive my car but had to take it back to honda to see what they had done to it. Honda said it was not their fault and that now the problem had nothing to do with my battery. Instead, it was my engine wire harness. That needed to be fixed for a price of ~$2,800 but they could lower it to $669.15 + tax i just want to express how disappointed i am in honda. I bought a honda because they are supposed to be a reliable car. Back in march 2016 they told me by battery failed the battery test and decided to charge it. November 2016, they made me buy a new battery, at that time my car was still brand new with only 22,000 miles on it. I don't believe this is coincidence. I got a honda for reliability reasons. I also know you are not supposed to service the car for the same issue 3 times and i shouldn't be concern of my 2013 honda car that still has less than 30,000 miles of any electrical issues. I am concern of service fraud because i was charge to recharged and replace the battery. One time i was within warranty and the other was just a few months afterward. I am requesting a reimbursement of some manner; it can be monetary or free servicing my car.
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.
While driving at about 30 miles an hr. Attempting to change lanes just before a traffic light suddenly steering the car became difficult and i noticed a warning light on. I was able to pull over stop the car then restart it without a steering problem. Mentioning it to my son, he recalled having the same trouble with my car 3 weeks ago.
I was in the middle of the road and the steering locked, this has happened twice on 07/18/2017 and 04/20/2017. I thank god for my life
Driving down houston freeway when out of nowhere my steering wheel became too hard to move. Immediately after the light on dash for steering wheel came on. I was able to safely make my way to far right lane where i was able to exit. Once i exited i turned off vehicle restarted and both steering and light were back to normal. I drove down maybe 4-5 miles going 30 (i didn't get back on freeway) and it happened again! once again i stopped car and restarted with same results. I had already contacted dealer since it happened to me once before but at night in a back country road. They informed me they could do a diagnostics test for a fee. (they have done this test before but for 2 other problems with vehicle the key light came on the dash for no apparent reason and the rear camera screen kept going black) i remember then they couldn't do anything for me since they were unable to replicate the problem. I am so glad my little ones were not in the car when this has happened. I don't feel safe driving this car anymore its unbelievable that with all of these complaints nothing has been done to remedy situation.
The steering turns left.as soon as you start you car, with hands off the steering wheel the entire steering system turns left.opened 2 cases with honda and no response.case # 11941086 and 12222896.hillside honda informs us that the codes don't show up so the only thing they can do is replace the steering gearbox and alignment for a customer cost of $3592 + tax.this was a sudden onset incident, no accident to the car.it is a safety hazard and honda refuses to do anything about it.
This is to inform you i made an appointment for 2/20/2021 with my local honda dealership one week prior based on the recall letter received from your office.i was was physically there, i was told by one of the advisorthat they ran out of parts.no future appointment were made by the dealership. Not sure what is means but this was written under comments :da212407, from the "complimentary multi point inspection" form. Personal arrangements were made to leave my car based on my convenience; the road conditions were very icy and treacherous to get there; my ride back home was waiting in the parking lot. After going through the process of checking in my car and leaving the dealership, then i received a phone call from one of the employees (yvonne)they could not accommodate me.in addition, i called your vehicle safety hotline yesterday 2//02/20/2021 to report this but your office was closed.i am very disappointed in the customer service i experienced.thank you for your anticipated cooperation with this matter.
I have owned this vehicle for 4 years with no problems. I recently started using the auto feature of the climate control system. Both times that i have used it after a couple days of driving my power steering goes out and the speed of the car doesn't seem to matter. I have researched this on social media and can't find a solution to this problem other than to take it to a honda dealership and spend $2000 to replace the components. My solution now is not to use the auto climate control system. I only have just over 60000 and the problem is not from wear and tear. I have contacted the local honda dealer and honda customer service with no help as to some advice to deal with this. Looking at what is on social media, i can't believe this hasn't been recalled. This has really blown my bubble as to the high regard i had for honda vehicles over the years.
Wife was driving at around 35 mph when the power steering cut out. No warning lights or anything. I drove it next day and no issues....day after that i drove it with essentially no power steering.i bring it to the dealer, "electronic power steering motor" they tell me....they replace that and then decide the "control box" for it also needs replaced....they replace that and the issue is still not resolved. Now they are telling me they dont know whats wrong with it and they are in direct contact with honda (its at a honda dealer.)he tells me last night to be patient "theres something we need to try" i said ok keep me updated havnt heard back yet. I see theres lots of issues on here about this how is it not a recall?i also found a thread from 2015 where people have paperwork about a recall....but can find nothing about this recall on hondas website.not sure what to do being the bill is already over 2k and they dont even know what they need to fix....
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.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph, the steering wheel would drift to the left and it was difficult to maneuver the vehicle. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the steering wheel continued to spin. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the rack and pinion failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
At a stop sign, made a right turn.right after i made the turn, at approximately 15-20 mph the power steering abruptly failed.power steering failure light then came on. Pulled over and after turning off the car and then back on, the steering worked again, though it failed in a similar manner after driving for about another 5 minutes.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. When the vehicle was started, the steering warning light indicator illuminated and the power steering failed.

We turned right out of a parking lot onto a busy city street and got down to the light. As we turned the steering wheel to the right and before pushing the accelerator the steering wheel became extremely hard to turn. It was extremely hard to turn the steering wheel left or right. It was very hard to control the steering wheel at this point as we are trying to find another parking lot to turn into so we could try and figure out what was going on. We looked around the car to make sure nothing visible was wrong and didnt see anything so we turned the engine off and sat there for a bit and then turned the engine back on. Once we turned the engine back on the steering was fine. We decided to look online and see if anyone else had experienced these problem and seen many have. If we turn the steering wheel right or left while at a complete stop the steering wheel becomes hard to turn but if you turn the engine off then back on it works again. I'm hoping the manufacturer can recall the problem and fix it beings there are many complaints of this particular problem.
While driving on highway at 50 mph, the power steering failed and the steering light came on.luckily, i was able to slow the car down and get off of the highway.i pulled into a neighborhood and put the car in park.after several minutes, i put the car back in gear and the power steering was still out, but i was able to make it home.the next day, i started the car and the power steering was working.the steer wheel has jerked to the left/right on several occasions, but this was the first time that the power steering when completely out.i've brought the car to the dealer and am waiting for an explanation.

My son was practicing parallel parking. And car's steering wheel became stiff and hard to turn. I was able to make wheel straight and drove around slowly, mostly straight line, and steering wheel became normal, able to tune it without forcing it hard. It was scary.
This week, with the car at 33,000 miles on it,my accords' eps light has been going on and off when starting the car. If it's lighted up and you try to drive, you how no power steering. I have to turn off the car and restart. Sometimes it take upmtomfive try's.

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 andi 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 alarmgo on went i was driving .
The vehicle has an electronic power steering problem. The car was being driven and the car eps light came on while i was driving at about 30 mph and coming of the highway ramp. I lost control of all steering and almost caused an accident. This car cannot be considered safe at all. I was not able to drive my car afterwards and was forced too without power steering because i have to drive to work. If this is not a safety hazard i dont know what would be considered then.
As i was driving down the highway my eps failed causing me to be unable to steer my vehicle. I pulled over to the side of the highway, turned the car off and back on, the eps system reset itself. This has happened 10-15 times. I have taken it to the dealership and they have had my car 2 weeks now trying to figure it out. So far, no luck!
My power steering went out and i hit the right side of my car in a parking garage.the power steering light came on.my husband brought the car into the service center at honda of bowie.the service folks said it was fixed after doing a computer update.i brought it back because the problem kept reoccurring.my husband brought it back in again on july 2, 2014 because the problem reoccurred several times since the last "fix."the service personnel did another computer reset and my car has had the same power steering problems since then.today (monday, july 7, 2014), the power steering failed again and steered the car into oncoming traffic resulting in another near miss.i have called honda of bowie to get a loaner vehicle but they are out of loaner vehicles so i need to continue to drive the car to and from work.
While driving home on the highway power steering suddenly froze,and light came on . Was able with great force, to make it home. Very frightening experience! this has happened several more times at slower speeds . The dealer was not able to find a problem. Luckily no accident but i feel unsafe driving with this intermittent yet scary situation.

Intermittent activation of vehicle stability assist, electrical power steering, and tire pressure monitoring system lights. Diagnosed as yaw rate sensor failure requiring replacement of anti-lock braking system modulator.
I was driving s on i-55 a few miles n of west memphis. As i attempted to change lanes my steering wheel was very hard to turn. I looked all over the dash & found a small light shaped like a steering wheel on the far left of the dash.fortunately i was near an exit and was able to get to a station. Turning in & parking was almost impossible.the owners manual said to turn car off and on.this corrected the problem and i drove the approximate 200 miles to my home.i planned to get it checked out at honda. Two days later the keyless ignition failed about ten times before finally starting. The dome lights had come on but no dash lights came on & it just beeped at me. Previously i had a low battery (listened to music too long) which failed to start but even then the dash lights lit up & flashed. It seemed like both incidents indicated an electrical or ecu problem.i drove to the dealership and reported the problem.i was told they would have to recreate the incidents. They have had my car 3 1/2 days with no word.i finally called today. Was told they couldn't recreate it so couldn't do anything! i told them i didn't feel safe driving the car. I pointed out the number of complaints listed on the arfc.com site. The service manager talked to honda engineers who continued to contend it had to be duplicated in the computer to solve it.i stressed the safety issue and that i would not feel safe driving the car again without solving this.they are going to do more testing. An hour earlier in my trip i was on a very curvy hilly 2 lane road. I feel if this had occurred there i could easily have had a terrible accident - while i had 2 grandchildren in the back seat! there are a number of incidents like this reported. Why has something not been done?!my car has 36,500 miles and fortunately i purchased an extended warranty! i just hope we can agree on a solution.
My 2013 honda accord touring model electric power steering failed. The car only has 49,000 miles. The dealer states it is no longer a extended warranty issue and will not cover issue. The problem was noticed while driving the vehicle and then taken to the dealer for evaluation. The problem is loss of power steering and/or a sudden increase in steering effort and dealer identified that the electric power steering box needs replacement for a total of $2100.00. For a "new" car this is ridiculous and should be honda's fix not the costumer.
During a trip to virginia from fla. I stopped at rock hill carolins for gas. Upon leaving the station and before getting back on 95 north my power steering failed. I was able to pull over and restart the car resetting the steering. Approximately 40 miles later on 95 the steering failed a second time. I again made the next exit and was able to reset everything. I turned around and went home with no subsequent failures. The power steering electronic module was replaced by honda approximately a year ago or less and this is a repeat of the symptoms at that time. This is a principal safety issue.
I lost my power steering at 65mph driving to the coast on highway 26 in oregon. I nearly crashed my car on the curve when my wheel would not turn like it normally does. I had to yank the wheel to the left to stay on the road. I was terrorist! i slowed my can to 50mph the rest of the 45 miles to my beach house in seaside oregon. The steering continued to get worse and i has happy to have the traffic slow down 20 miles out of seaside to bumper to bumper. I barely got the wheel to turn into my driveway at our seaside, oregon home.i started my 'research' to see if a recall had been made on my car for power steering because i would have died hitting the wall of dirt and trees leaving the highway. This is a huge safety issue! i found an article from 2014 that 374,000 people had complained of this same problem. And that you were investigating back in 2014!my car only has about 42,000 miles on it and that was the time of them going out according to the article.cars effected were 2013-2017 honda accords ex. Mine is that and a v6. How many people have crashed & died with this faulty part? do you have record of it? i want this electrial power steering part recalled!!you have failed with not recalling it back in 2014!!i am holding "you" accountable for this happening to me!!i want you to pay for my car to be fixed and my rental car!i need you to respond to me[xxx][xxx] is my cell.you are lucky i didn't crash!! my car is sitting in my driveway in seaside, oregon and i need it towed to beaverton, oregon to get it fixed. I have posted the 2014 article of you not recalling this!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2013 accords steering just stopped working when i was driving the car on 1/12/19, i am lucky that i wasn't going very fast, i was driving on a city street.also glad that i was able to get it to the side of the road, to get it out of the way. How can this not be a recall??
While on vacation in the mountains of tennessee the eps indicator came on the instrument display.that was failure of the power steering!it came on when starting the car after driving it for a short slow drive, which seems to be the major contributing factor--slow speed with acceleration.after having the software updated (which did not fix this issue) i am being told only the rack & pinion portion of the eps has been extended to be covered by honda and not the eps control unit which is the code my car is showing.excuse me!the steering of a vehicle is a major deal.honda should fix this and be glad to do it.this is a huge safety issue and should not be taken lightly.i am being told the repair cost is about $750.this has really put a bad taste in my mouth for honda; this is the fourth accord i have owned but will probably be the last one.shame on honda for not standing behind their vehicles and components.shame on the nhtsa for not forcing them to recall these cars and keep us all safer on the roadways when the complaints are numerous for the same issue!
On 10/8/20 power steering went out while driving about 20 mpg in a parking lot.warning icon came on.problem resolved after turning car off and restarting. This is the 2nd time it's has happened.
Vehicle became extremely difficult and almost impossible to steer for no reason. Took it to the honda dealership where i purchased it and was told there is no safety recall. There are almost 400,000 complaints i've noticed and i'm wondering why there hasn't been a recall. I had 3 of my children with me at the time and i feel extremely fortunate that our vehicle did not crash and there were no injuries. Does someone need to die before this is considered serious enough for a recall?
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.
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.
While driving my 2013 honda accord my steering wheel locked up twice after a dash light came on. This almost resulted in a crash both times i was able to stop. To get the wheel to unlock i had to turn the car off restart it and it would work properly agan. This is a v6 accord and has approx 38000 miles on it well maintained. Please help this could cause serious injuries or death if locks up especially on the highway. This needs to be a recall. Note that i was making left turns both times.
Failure of power steering wheel while driving in the highway..went to the dealership about the problem they said software update was needed.. Few months later loss of power steering and steering light comes back on while driving on the local road.. If you turn off the engine and restart light will disappear and power steering works again
The car has lost power steering on three occasions over the past one and one half weeks. The first time, 8/19/2015, after waiting at a red light to make a left turn, i could barely turn the steering wheel to make the turn. I forced the turn and could smell a burning smell. I turned the car off, read the manual, then turned the car on and drove the less than a mile to my home with no problem. On 8/26/2015, after driving less than a half mile from home at not more than 20-30 miles an hour, the car lost steering power again. I pulled over, turned the car off, then turned it back on. I returned home and drove the car less than 20 miles to the honda dealership in wesley chapel florida. They kept the car. When i picked it up on 8/27/2015, i was told that a software update had been done.on 8/28/2015, i drove the car approximately 50 miles around town doing errands. When i started the car to back out of a store parking lot, i noticed the steering symbol was lighted and found that the car would not steer. I turned the ignition off, then right back on and returned home. I am now going to take the car back to the honda dealer in wesley chapel.
I own a 2013 honda accord. The power steering (eps) will go off randomly.in the past week it went off about 6 or 7 times per day. It will shut off even on the highway which makes it very dangerous to get control of the car. This happens daily.
While driving on florida turnpike at approx 65 mph, i first felt a subtle change in the tires/traction of the car, so i look at the dash to see if i had a low tire pressure indicator, nothing. I took my foot off the gas, and i felt a slight swerve, then i saw "eps!" indicator on the dash. The steering wheel was completely locked up, with no play left to right at all! completely stiff.i let the car continue to coast because i was scared to apply the brakes if it would make it worse, thank god no one rear ended me, and as the road curved, i ran off into the grassy median of an exit ramp and nothing was in my path.i looked up what eps! was, and the owners manual suggested to restart the car. Upon restarting, the indicator was gone. The car is being towed to the dealer in the morning.i am scared to drive the car, not knowing if this can happen again, and if my family and i will be safe in this car.
Steering wheel start puling to the left. It doesnā€™t stay in the neutral position ( wheels straight). I have to apply unnecessary force to keep it straight or make a right turn. Feels extremely unsafe.no warning signs indicated on dashboard. Planning to take it to the dealership.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving 35 mph, the steering wheel seized and became difficult to control. The power steering warning light illuminated. The failure occurred once. The dealer diagnosed that the power steering failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 41,000.updated 10/15/15*ljupdated 05/10/16.
In the few years i've had my car, which i take very good care of and have low mileage on, the power steering stopped working suddenly while i was driving (very scary and dangerous!), the driver's side sun visor broke one day when i was trying to put it back up, and the dashboard sensors go off unnecessarily. Very disappointing from a honda vehicle. Beware!
While traveling down a country road i stoppedto make a right turn, as soon as i made the right turn the steering light came on and my steering wheel stiffened up tot he point where i could not turn properly. As soon as i tried turning in either direction the steering wheel would feel like it wanted to turn the opposite direction. Was able to safely drive to a gas station and turned off car. Once it was shut down we checked the power steering fluid and it was full. Checked for any leaks could not find any. Left vehicle turned off for at least 10 minutes then restarted. The light did not stay on and the steering wheel became manageable. Will contact dealer to see if there is anything they can do. I doubt it though, not unless they can replicate the incident themselves.
As i was making a left turn at low speed from a stop sign, my car lost stability and steering felt unusual.traffic was light and i was able to recover.the two subsequent turns (right and then left) on the same drive yielded similar feelings.when i looked into this, i found reports of an investigation by the nhtsa regarding loss of power steering on these vehicles.i believe this incident was related and felt it best to file a report.
The effort required to make a turn is very inconsistent and can change abruptly in the middle of the turn.for example, while making a left-hand turn, the steering wheel can, without warning, jerk back to the right. While this has primarily occurred at lower speeds, it has been severe enough that it has almost caused us to not make our turn and as a result nearly run off the road, or into a curb or into vehicle next to us (pulling into a parking spot). To be honest, only good luck can be credited for the fact we haven't gotten into an accident up to this point. As stated before, this issue primarily occurs at slower speeds (< 30 mph), and while we've been fortunate enough that we've been able to recover from the momentary loss of control, if this issue were to occur at higher speeds or in a traffic-dense area, there is a very real possibility of a serious accident occurring. None of the vehicle's warning lights have ever indicated that there is an issue with the power steering system. Out of concern, the car was taken to a honda dealership where they were able to reproduce the issue and recommended replacement of the entire steering rack and control unit at a cost of several thousand dollars. As we believe that the rack and/or it's control unit have a design flaw that would also still be present in a brand new non-revised rack, we have elected not to replace the rack in hopes of honda taking ownership of it's defective product and offering a real solution to those of us who are affected by this problem. The vehicle still has the original steering rack and can be made available to the nhtsa to demonstrate the abnormal steering behavior.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. After starting the vehicle, the traction control and power steering indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to wetzel honda (3505 chester blvd, richmond, in) where a steering service update was performed per an extended warranty program. After retrieving the vehicle from the dealer, the power steering immediately malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,000.
When i stopped for paying toll, car displayed engine light and steering safely light with jerking sound,not accelerationand steering g locked for few seconds and then released .i pulled the vehicle to parking lot and stopped...i started the vehicle after 3 minutes ... There is a rattling noise in the engine and (fcw) warning came... Says fcw system failed . I left the car at parking lot and towing back to dealer tomorrow... Not safe to drive as the accelation is very erratic and consistent ...traveling with my kids and scared of losing control of the car... It is on interstate 294 close o'hare airport .. Christmas day and all repair shops closed
While driving down farris rd at ~40 mph the eps light came on and the power steering failed. This happened on the way back from my pregnant wife's doctor appointment. We pulled over to the nearest empty parking lot and read the manual. We hadn't been doing any of the things the manual said would cause this.over the next 10 miles this happened 3 more times. Once while sitting still in a drive through line. We called our honda dealership and the offered to let us schedule an appointment and receive a shuttleride home. My wife got us slightly better service with a facebook post and they offered to look at our car that day and comped us a rental car under warranty. Several hours later we received a call that after speaking with their tech support they will need to replace the rack.
Pick this vehicle up from the dealer got one exit down on the highway and turned around because even holding the steel will perfectly straight with both hands on the wheel the car just drifts from side to side in the lane and is extremely difficult to keep control of while at highway speeds, i brought the vehicle back to the dealer who said that they put it back on the alignment machine and that there was nothing wrong with the alignment, i also am having issues with the rear defroster not working properly. I also pointed out a visual defect in the paint on the hood of the car which the dealer said i'll will call you back in a week or two and set up an appointment and will have to have the hood repainted i have yet five months later yet to hear back from this dealer ship as to when the going to actually repaint the hood on the vehicle.
The electric power steering eps warning light , coupled with steering wheel stiff resistance, occurred during several random events over the last four days -once the first day 30 mph on rural road, twice the second at 50 and 30 mph on highway then rural road, four times yesterday within those speeds on city streets, then twice while driving to the dealership this morning at 60 mph on interstate highway.shutting off the engine, then restarting, only temporarily cleared the issue.i was fortunately driving during the events, and not allowing my wife or daughter to even consider handling.tight turns were not possible - period. The dealership, upon completing diagnostics today, determined the steering box/rack and pinion were the source of failure.with <59,000 miles, spotless record of maintenance at this original dealer, and never abused, this type of either mechanical or electrical failure is unacceptable, as well a danger to the public.i reviewed 158 comments/cases on car complaint websites, specific to honda accord 2013 models with similar eps/steering box issues.driving at any speed, where a passenger is presented a non-responsive steering event, would not be accepted by honda management, nor any of their employees.statistically, this appears a design flaw is the apparent issue, and replacement-in-kind in my logic doesn't resolve the issue, especially at my expense.in my area of expertise in crude refining, any failure is unacceptable in a mechanically sound piece of well-maintained equipment.if a steerable piece of equipment lost power in our facility, company resources and focused teams, safety audits, and possibly osha oversight would ensue.i'll be contacting honda with the news that i cannot further support their products designed with eps.
While driving on the freeway the electronic power steering went out making the car extremely difficult to steer. I was able to muscle the steering with brute force and get the car home. After sitting in my driveway for a few hours the problem improved (the power assist was back) but the car makes scraping sound when the wheels are turning.
We had just pulled off of a major highway in bluffton south carolina.stopped at guard house and proceeded approx. 1/2 mile to stop sign when we tried to turn left without warning the (eps) power steering stopped working. We did not get a warning light until after the steering stopped working.you could not control the steering, but lucky for us we were turning into a parking area and stopped the car. We got out the owners manual and turned the car off as suggested, we restarted the car and the steering was still out and the warning light came on.we had the car towed to the closest honda dealer.this is the second time we had this happen. The first time was in august, 2014. The first time the system did reset after we turned the car off and restarted it.
Straight city street at 50mph. Not, repeat not turning. Car suddenly veered to right. Took a lot of force to keep it going straight. When stopped at side of road steering wheel cocked right about 45 degrees. Not just loss of power steering. This was loss of vehicle control. Car suddenly and actively veered hard right. No warning lights on dash noticed. After restart drove to dealer without problems. Did it again with mechanic driving.his eyes got very big. Reluctantly drove back to dealer. Repair is replace steering assembly, $2,900. Car had 36,000 miles on it at time of failure.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that the eps warning light and an unknown warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the high pressure and low pressure fuel lines needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000. The vin was not available.
Yesterday morning, (5-10-21), i was leaving for work in my accord. There was suddenly no steering and i was unable to make the right turn out of my driveway. Had this happened on a winding road i'd be a 3500 lb. Base jumper with no parachute. Taking it to a dealer, terrified to drive the car after repairs.
About 2 weeks ago when i was turning right i noticed some difficulty in steering (the steering was difficult and tight) so i took the car in for service.the incident could not be reproduced but noted by the dealer. On the 6th i was driving home and turning right onto my street and the steering went completely out. I was afraid i was about to end up in my neighbors yard and into my neighbor!it took very great effort to steer the car and steering warning light came on.with much difficulty i drove the car slowly to the dealer and they witnessed the problem.i recently heard from the service dept and they told me a "code" appeared on this and they were checking the "rack" - there was no issue with steering with the car moving straight forward. I will be working with the dealership for a replacement vehicle as i don't trust this particular vehicle.also, the dealer is very helpful and trying to do the right thing and i believe has my best interests at heart (they are very reputable).i have filed a complaint with your agency and have an odi number.
While driving down the road at approximately 30-40 mph, the eps (electronic power steering) light on the dashboard came on. Seconds later, the steering wheel stiffen up and was nearly impossible to turn the wheel. I immediately turn on my hazard warning lights and started to decrease my speed. Eventually, with much physical force and effort i was able to make it "safely" off the main road into an entrance to a construction site. I put the car in park and turned it off. After about 15 second, i turn the car back on and the power steering return to normal and the eps dashboard light went off. Call the dealership to make an appointment. However, this issue should be a recall as it can cause great harm to vehicle occupants and other drives in the case of an accident.
I was driving on i 75 north near miramar exit and i felt the steering wheel hard, then i looked at the dashboard and the esp light was on. I was able to reduce speed and use all my strength to go the the side isle. Turned off the car and on again and the esp light was not there anymore. I got back my exit was less than a mile away. I exited on miramar pkwy east and the esp light came back again, i was able to stop but i couldn't turn right or left. I waited turned on and still had the problem. Waited again and still have the problem. I called triple a and had the car towed to the nearest honda dealer and they showed what happened in their computer but it is not happening to the service techs now they are keeping the car but i suspect they won't do anything and i am really scared to drive the car now. I was lucky did not have an accident but not sure if i will next time it happens.
The electric power steering on my 2013 honda accord sport suddenly fail. Two of which occurred at speeds of less than 10 miles per hour, while making a left/right turns. After coming to a complete stop i was able to successfully turn off the car and restarted it to clear the problem. The third time it happened i was driving straight at 45 miles per hour, a power steering warning message flashed as the failure occurred. However on the third recurrence i tried the same the act without a correction. I then realized the car was not safe to drive and had it tow to the dealer. I also notified honda of north america on 3-18-15 at 3:15 hrs.
Eps light came on. Was very difficult to steer. First time happened 09/05/2018, second time- 09/06/2018. Just had a recall work done re: battery on 08/30/2018. Could it be related? i see many other complaints regarding the same issue. Shouldn't there be a recall? looks like there were accidents caused by this problem. I took the car to the shop yesterday, paid $160- nothing was found wrong. I feel unsafe driving like this. Please respond.

We were driving on the highway on a trip to texas and the steering wheel automatically turned on its own, causing us to almost crash into other cars on the highway. No lights appeared on our dash and it was out of the ordinary. We were driving 75-85 mph and could have injured multiple people if we had crashed. The steering wheel became so hard to control requiring my fianc to grip the steering wheel to turn it into the emergency lane of the highway. Once he let go of the steering wheel, it would turn really fast on its own to the left. He tried turning the car on and off, but the issue was still there. I called the honda dealer and explained what i found on the nhtsa website. He said he would research it and call me back but he never returned my call. This is big safety issue that honda is aware of and should cover the repair cost.i tried calling corporate only to have my call cut off 3 times. What is the actual problem; because without a dashboard light and no code we don't know?
Driver was making a right hand turn in a residential area.in the process of making that turn, steering jerked to the left and driver was not able to maintain control of the vehicle because the steering was not responding; therefore, causing driver to run into left hand curb.
I was maneuvering into a parking spot in a 6 tiered parking lot and cutting my wheel to navigate into the spot and the power steering went out all of a sudden. Then the error light popped on.with all my might i had to try and back into a spot but could not hardly turn the wheel.when i did back up taking up 2 spots i turned off the car and restarted and it seems to allow me easier to steer (too easy actually) i then maneuvered to go into another single spot and when turning the wheel it locked on me again but i was able to turn the wheel enough to get into the spot. I am afraid to drive it and thank god that it was not last night as i was on the expressway at midnight. This should not be happening to a 2013 at all.i am seeing other complaints and honda is just turning their heads and having us pay for this manufacturers error with our money and possible our lives?
On jan 24th, 2013 i took my car to the honda dealership for a problem with my power steering. The eps (electric power steering) system indicator came on and off several times and lost power steering during those times.the problem has been intermittent. The honda dealership tried to fix the problem 3 times. On feb 5th, 2013 the intermittent power steering problem seemed to be fixed. Then on aug 21st, 2014 the power steer problem started again. I returned to the honda dealership and honda tried again to fix the intermittent power steering problem.on aug 22nd, i drove my honda accord out of the dealership and had to turn around and bring it back because the cars'eps (electric power steering) system indicator light came on and off again and i lost power steering during that time. I'm now waiting to see if the intermittent power steering problem can be found and fixed. Since i bought my car the smart entry system indicator light has turned on and off intermittently without an adverse effect that i know of.i know an intermittent problem is hard diagnose and fix but i'm starting have less and less confidence in honda the company that manufactured my car..updated 11/03/14
We are a collision repair facility in oregonscotties autobodythis vehicle has a broken steering shaft in the column that appears to be defective metal . I dont know if this is a random problem but i believe it should be inspected .this broken shaft causes 100% loss of steering
2013 honda accord:i was driving about 35 mph and suddenly i felt the steering wheel get stiff and immediately the indicator light came on the dashboard indicating my electronic power steering system had an issue.i slowed down promptly in the road (no one was behind me) and it took all i had to turn the wheel to get it off the road.i turned the car off for a moment just as the honda manual instructed and when i turned the car back on, nothing had changed, still light on the dash and no possible way of me turning that wheel. I called aaa and the driver of aaa can vouch for this because it was still in the same condition when he picked it up.this was wednesday evening, december 23 that it was towed to the dealership.on friday morning, after dealer was closed christmas eve and christmas day, they called me saying nothing was wrong with my cari said really!!!i explained to them again and they ran a test and it said it needed software updates and/or electronic power steering rack.but honda requires the updates to be installed first and there is a charge for that according to the dealership.so i said do what you have to do. (which i think is absurd, microsoft doesn't charge me money for updates)with it being over the christmas holiday, i had to wait until monday for honda to be contacted (per dealership honda was closed) so i went 6 days with no car.monday came around and honda approved the dealership to do diagnostic testing on the car and with the safety concern they went ahead and replaced the electronic steering rack.i hope this has fixed the problem.there is nothing in the world that bothers me more than driving a car down the road and i lose control of steering.

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

Took it to a honda dealership and they said that i need to replace power steering rack and inner rods. The cost is $3100. This vehicle only has 119,000 miles , this should not happen
7/4/2017 was out of town in south carolina and my eps light came on when leaving a function. I was unable to turn my steering wheel as normally. After turning the car off and trying to reset the car the light came on again with the wheel and steering have issues. Was unable to drive back to north carolina and had to get my car towed. Now my car is at the honda dealership which isthe company i purchased from and they have to determine why light came on my 2013 honda accord which i show reviews and complaints about a known issue.
Started car, put in reverse and could not turn steering wheel in either direction. Could only steer straight. Information display issued this warning: power steering system problem (eps). Tried the what to do when the indicator message comes on in the owners manuel several times. Didn't work, car is sitting disabled in driveway. Now it is up to us to have it towed to local dealship to find out if there is a problem with the car according to honda motors.
I had parked the car in a parking space at dollywood in pigeon forge, tennessee. When i came back out and started the car the light for the steering system came on and i could barely turn the steering wheel. I looked in the manual but starting and restarting the car did not solve the problem. The car was unsafe to drive. Had this occurred at speed i could not have controlled the car . I called honda roadsideassistance and they had a tow truck sent out to get the car. Thetow truck company is going to take the car to a honda dealership monday june 1st so i will not know any more till than. I do see on the internet of people with similar complaints. I do not know if i should have reported this till after the dealer checks the car or not but after seeing similar complaints i wanted to report it if similar problems reoccur.
Steering wheel tighten up, no warning signs came on. Tightness in steering to the left and loose when turning to the right. No lockup on steering just a sense of tightness. Happened randomly without any notice. Was driving local when it started to tight up.

My vehicle, a 2013 honda accord ex-l v6, has been having issues where a power steering light would come on in my warning lights, and then i would lose the assistance of electronic power steering. My commute is a short one in the suburbs of chicago. However, if i were actually in downtown chicago, or on a highway, the eps failure could be fatal. The first time it happened, i was driving across irving park road, and i pulled over and restarted the car. When i checked the power steering fluid reservoir the next day, it was low and took half a bottle of power steering fluid to fill. The problem recently resurfaced tonight when i was driving home from class. Even after restarting the vehicle several times, the power steering never came back.
We purchased the honda accord 2013 v6 10/22/2017. Steering wheel was tight we noticed ,that night of the 23rd, 2nd time driving it my son turned the corner and the steering wheel locked and he ran into the cement pole and totaled his car. We didn't even have it one full day. We later looked up on the internet that honda was under investigation for power steering locking up or electrical and saw people totaled there cars or had the same issues 464k cases. My son was hurt but could have been worse. Honda needs to be sued for this and i want in on it. The car was in my name i bought for my 21 yr old son after his car flooded in harvey. Something needs to be done immediately.
On a clear, rural, dry blacktop county highway at approximately 10:00am december 19,2018 while driving at 50 miles per hour i suddenly lost steering control of my 2013 honda accord. This was instantaneous causing car to move to the right. When i steered to the left the car over-corrected and drove into the left ditch. My effort to straighten the car caused it to hit the frozen ditch bank parallel to left side of car. Side air bags deployed and car came to rest in adjacent hay field. My t-12 vertebra was broken, among other injuries. Cost to repair the car was $8,802.16. I always thought this was my fault, but recently i have experienced strange and unsettling steering glitches with this car. My spouse has also recently mentioned that he has noticed steering glitches while driving this honda accord.
Electric power steering malfunction light came on could barely turn the wheel, the first time it happened was running about 40 mph and again it happened was running at 50 mph and going into a curve and the third time my speed was 55 mph all three times this has happened i was on a highway.the first time i had just got off the interstate.if you are where you can pull off the road and turn the vehicle off and start it again the steering is fine. Seems this should be a recall as researching on the internet i'm not the only one with this issue.places i need to go is usually on the interstate and running 60 to 70 mph is scary not know when this may happen again.i did see on the internet where 2 accidents has occurred from this issue and thank goodness there were no injuries.i have called honda headquarters and they act like they don't know what i am talking about and had a record that i had called in regarding this issue.so does it take someone being seriously injured or killed before this is looked at.i was told to replace the electric power steering gear.i asked about the software upgrade that i had read about and also regarding hoses that were getting hot causing this.all the dealerships know is it will cost more than $2000 for a new steering gear.this shouldn't happen in the first place.i know parts go bad and if this is an issue with other vehicles maybe due to this being dangerous driving auto makers may go back to steering fluid and do away with electric power steering.please check on a recall issue.this has happened 3 times 08/10/2018 and twice on 08/12/2018. I am at the point i am afraid to drive the car no matter the speed and especially on certain roads. Thank you
In august of 2018 i brought my vehicle into balise honda in west springfield, massachusetts with a loss of power steering during operation on a highway. They worked on the vehicle and reported no recalls for loss of power steering. When i picked up the vehicle, i regained power steering. On june 5, 2019, i lost the power steering again during operation of the motor vehicle on a city street. I successfully drove the vehicle home without power steering and it continued into june 6, 2019. Please help me understand why accidents have occurred due to the loss of power steering in the 2013 honda accord and no recalls have been issued? this safety issue cannot continue...
Streeling wheel is constantly steering to the lefteven when the car is stationary.
Electric powered steering (eps) just failed on me, fortunately i was able to handle it and take car to secure location.
In january 2021 we took in my 2013 honda accord into my local honda dealership because the steering wheel would jolt to the left while driving. It was very unsafe. My husband found information about an extended warranty having to do with the steering. Honda said that the car was not registering the specific code to fix it under the extended warranty so we would have to pay out of pocket which was over $3,000. We had read some comments from people experiencing the same issue but their honda's fixed the issue. Ours would not. We took it back to our local honda again and i called the corporation, again honda said they can only fix this safety issue with payment. We then took the vehicle to a reputable mechanic in town and they too agreed that this issue should be covered by honda. Our mechanic outreached to our local honda again and a honda 30miles away and both said they cannot do anything without payment. We were shocked by how honda clearly knew about the safety issue and concern but still would not do anything without payment and clearly the extended warranty impacted the steering. We had no choice but to pay for the repairs. The day we got the car back from being repaired ($3,772.35 later) we see that nhtsa opened an investigation for a safety recall on the steering! i will be contacting honda for a full refund.

Eps light came on. Lost power while driving. Hard to steer the vehicle. Turned offthe engine and turned back on couple times waited a few minutes in between. Warning light was gone and got power back.
The honda accord power steering completely shut off on me while driving on the highway. I experienced this very frightening situation yesterday with my 2013 honda accord v6 while driving about 40mph in a straight line i suddenly lost power with no apparent reason. I had the eps light show on my dash. I pulled over and restarted the car but with no success the power steering wouldn't turn on it was completely dead. I did not see no fluid leaks under the car and the power steering pump has plenty of fluid.
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
When driving the power steering would stop working completely and vehicle operator could barely steer the vehicle.when going around a corner the power steering cut out and the driver skidded off the road but was not injured.we had to get this fixed because it was a life threatening problem.it cost us 2,500 dollars to get fixed.honda had to replace the power steering unit steering rack.this is obviously a manufacturers defect that honda should have paid for but we had to pay out of our own pockets because it was too dangerous to drive the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, the power steering warning indicator illuminated, the steering wheel then became difficult to turn. The vehicle was taken to dealer where the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,015.
While cornering, the vehicle suddenly became very difficult to steer and did not right itself coming out of the corner. Over the next several days, the steering occasionally failed. No warning lights came on and when honda tested the car, no torque sensor failures were noted. On that basis, honda declined to apply their extended warranty covering the failed steering. Honda was not interested in pursuing the failure to see if it might improve their knowledge of a known problem with this model's steering. Honda claimed that the failure was rare and that there was no information out there to determine whether the vehicle would be safely drivable without repair. They could not assure me that the failure was just a loss of power steering, of something more dangerous. It wasn't until after i paid for the repair, that i found numerous similar complaints online.

On tuesday, may 3, 2021, my car suddenly vered to the left and i had turn my steering wheel excessivley (about 90 degrees) to get my car back into my lane. If there would have been a car next to i would have hit it someone or something. I suddenly was hearing a crackling noise from my steering column. I drove my car a couple of more times before i took it to roush honda in westerville on 5/12/2021. When i took my cari explained the previous situation and told the gentleman that the noise in the steering column was getting louder and louder and he said i was getting charged $99 to find out what the noise is about and what was going on.on 5/13/2021, the service depart. Called to let me know that it was an alignment issue and said nothing about the noise.i asked them what about the noise and she said there was nothing on the service write up about a noise.so i asked for a manager.when the manager called, max wagner, he tried to tell me that the noise was coming from the tire and axle and not the steering column.you can clearely hear the noise coming from the inside of the car and steering column.i have a lifetime alignment with firestone and take my car on a regular and responsible basis.honda is clearly giving me a run around and is avoiding to fix the issue that is clearly a part manufacturing defect. Can this be investigated by your agency?
My car suddenly starting being very difficult to steer to the right and when trying to steer to the left it spins.this occurs while driving.i live in the mountains so it is terrifying to think of the potential should i be unable to control the car and run off the road.the car is unsafe to drive and i fear for my safety so i took it to the honda dealership in boone, nc.this leaves me without a car to drive and no access to alternative transportation in my small rural mountain community.the dealership wasunable to pull a diagnostic code from the computer.they used a diagnostic troubleshooting tree and found it to be an issue with the power steering rack and the repair would be nearly $3k.i have been a loyal honda customer for 25 years and expect better. This appears to be a widespread issue that isn't being addressed by the company. There are hundreds of reports that i have seen online with this same issue so it is clearly a manufacturing flaw that needs to be remedied by honda.i am an elderly widow and need reliable transportation.i do not have the funds to repair this car and need assistance from honda and the nhtsa to help get this resolved. Thank you for your assistance and urgent attention to this matter for me and the many many many others facing this same failure in the 2013 accord.please do the right thing.people's safety should be foremost for any company like honda.
On july 2, 2015 while driving 40 mph, power steering failed and indicator light came on. Had car towed to dealer next day, software update done, and i was told the problem should not reoccur. On oct 6, 2015, while turning into a parking lot, it failed again. Had car towed to dealer and told they will now replace gearbox. I askedwhat was causing this and how this fix will work and was told they don't know! they're following instructions from the manufacturer. This is very unsafe, and appears honda does not truly know how to fix this.
The electronic power steering (eps) is progressively failing just like many other owners have reported previously.i first noticed this while driving on the highway 65 to 75 miles per hour but it continues to get worse regardless of speed.the steering wants to turn left on its own and it is sluggish whenever i make a turn either direction. In fact i can even feel the sluggish steering while the car is parked.i've been commuting to work in my old gmc truck while this problem is being looked at by a local garage.this is clearly a safety hazzard and considering how many people have encountered failures with the eps over multiple model years i don't understand why honda hasn't recalled it.my local garage said it requires the steering rack replaced which is an expensive part and will require significant labor cost as well.i've been a loyal honda customer since 1992 because of the historical quality of their vehicles so it's disappointing they don't want to recall this.i guess it's time to look at other brands of vehicles for my next purchase.
The vehicle's steering got very hard to turn while pulling into a parking spot. It became extremely difficult to steer all the way to the kingwood honda service dept.this problem happened immediate and without warning. As i drove the vehicle to the dealer it normalized and then without warning got very stiff.thus far the dealer does not know what is wrong with the vehicle and advised me today that they are going to call honda in the morning for guidance.

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

Power steering torque sensor or steering rack. I see that there is already an investigation for this. I was driving down an off ramp, when the front of my car suddenly turned to the right. I did not feel the car hit anything. I was able to correct it. However, since then there's been something obviously wrong with the steering. When i turn the steering wheel to the left it responds normally, but there is a specific angle at which the wheel vibrates though. If i turn the wheel to the right, the wheel is tense and also has a specific spot where it vibrates. It vibrates at one spot on the first and second spin of the wheel. If i drive straight the car seems fine. None of the dash lights have turned on. The dealer said to replace the steering rack. However, they can't even get the part due to the computer chip shortage. They said it is on back order and the earliest they could get it is in 6 weeks. Their estimate was around $2,700. So now i just don't have a car and if i get forced to trade it in it's value is bad, since it can't be fixed due to the shortage. If they eventually do a recall, i'll get nothing after i sell the broken car.
While driving the car suddenly loses power steering. Once the car is turned off and back on the problem normally resloves. There was one instance that took turning the car off several times to get it to reset. I have had this problem occur atleast 6 -8 times over the past month. When i called the honda dealership they said they had never heard of this problem occuring. I have scheudled an appointment for them to take a look.
Power stering gets really tight and was hard to steer
Power steering stopped working out of nowhere with no warning. Extremely dangerous situation if driving on highway or anywhere for that matter. Fortunately the car was parked when the power steering went out. Took car to the honda dealer and they told me that the car had no recalls.
Three malfunction indicators have come on in car and will not go off. Those indicators are tpms tire pressure light, vsa vehicle stability assits and eps electronic power steering. This only began after i had my brakes in rear of car done and car was actually stationary when these lights came on. The lights will stay on when vehicle is in motion with really no change in driving.i have googled the issue and found that many honda owners are having the same issue.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While the contact's spouse was driving 40 mph, the power steering failed and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.
Car steering pulled heavily left without any warning and nearly resulted in a head-on collision with oncoming traffic.the steering wheel also turns hard left with no assistance when the ignition is turned on.this is a very serious safety risk and in need of a recall so that honda can inspect and correct whatever engineering defect is causing this and to preemptively repair the problem before any injuries/fatalities occur
The electric steering turns the vehicle without any input from the driver. The car will automatically turn to the left if the wheel is not corrected. This is not a pull left as in a bad wheel alignment. This happens even if no one is in the carand the car is stopped. It makes the car useless to drive because it is so unsafe.
My 2013 accord sport suddenly veered left on it's own and i hit a telephone pole breaking it in half. The air bags did not deploy. The car is a total loss and i am injured. I was driving in a straight line when this happened.
While exiting off an interstate highway,the power steering tightened up making it difficult to make turns especially at lower speeds.i arrived to my destination narrowly avoiding an accident.i searched forother similar failures on the internet and noticed many more incidents, hence this complaint.
The power steering suddenly stop working almost causing me to crash my car.
The steering wheel was unable to turn when backing up for parallel parking after a few times, when practicing right before my daughter's driving test. Then i tried myself a couple time without luck that i had to pull it off. I was unable to tell anything was wrong since there are no any error lights on the instrument panel. I was able to turn it while driving forward, though. After being parked in the parking lot for some time, it began to work ok again, and it did not fail my daughter's driving test - a good thing. It really raised a big concern for me that a hidden issue of the steering wheel failure exists with my car. I really need honda to recall it and fix it before it is too late with horrible consequences. Your help with this is greatly appreciated.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the power steering assist malfunctioned as the wheels seized and the power steering warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the rack and pinion assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 6,000. The vin was not available.
I was traveling on the interstate when a warning light came on stating that there was an issue with my power steering. The vehicle became very hard to steer. Luckily, i wasn't far from the nearest dealer and pulled into have it checked out. I turned my car off while waiting for a technician. When the technician started the car the warning light was off and the power steering was working. They still took the care back to check it out, but said they could not find anything. They said that if it happened again i may need to replace thetorque sensor(dtc 53-01), which would cost $674.88.
"takata recall". (long term exposure to high heat and humidity can cause these airbags to explode when deployed) my horn located in the steering wheel constantly blares when exposed to high heat while in motion on city streets and highways and stationary. This issue comes and goes and the dealership "honda world" located in downey, ca. Refuses to inspect the issue. They tell me the probelm needs to occur for them to inspect the issue. Since i bought the car in 05/2016 this issue only occures in the summer time not the winter which tells me it's being caused by heat. Because the airbag is also located in the steering wheel this issue needsto be inspected asap. I have videos on my cell phone camera as proof.
While driving on the highway the power steering warning light (its a little orange steering wheel with an ! next to it) comes on and the wheel becomes very hard to turn.the car also feel unstable as if i were driving over a bridge in high wind. This has happend twice so far in the last two days.both times were at night on the highway about 20 minutes into a 45 min commute.luckily for me it was late at night so i was able to pull over without incident. Turning off the car and restarting it after a minute temporarily fixed the problem.
The power steering just gave up while i was driving. It made my car shift to one side. It was shaking. I was able to safely bring the car to a complete stop. But i really scared me. Iā€™m glad it was not worst. According to a mechanic is the steering wheel. But they said they are not sure why it happened. Iā€™m reporting this because is very dangerous and could eventually be a fatality. I also notice that there are other people that have had the same problem. I need this to be recall. Is very dangerous.
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?
The contact owned a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle veered to the left inadvertently. The contact initially thought that the issue was because of the wind. The steering wheel then ceased. The vehicle was towed to hosmer honda (3825 4th st sw, mason city, ia 50401) and diagnosed with power steering failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
Driving on highway with grooved pavement felt steering wheel start pulling to left needed to hold steering very tight to control car. Pulled car into a parking lot and when applying brakes and loosing hands from steering wheel the car pulled left and steering wheel started to turn on own doing a complete 360 degrees or more.brought car to an auto center to have assessed and was told rack and pinion gear is damaged.the part is on national back order from honda according to service center.no warning lights or symptoms appeared prior to this incident.
2013 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to recall for placement of electric power steering rack. *asthe consumer requested to be reimbursed for a steering failure that was once included in an extended warranty program. The consume was not informed of the extended warranty.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and vibrated abnormally with the electronic power steering failure warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle went into limp mode and decelerated to 40 mph. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Bob howard honda located at 13201 n. Kelly ave, oklahoma city, ok 73131, and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
I started my engine and was backing up my car, when i noticed i couldn't turn the steering wheel.i stopped the engine and restarted the car as indicated in the manual.the steering wheel was almost impossible to turn.the car was towed to the honda dealership and they gave me a bill of $1800 to work on the power steering to torque sensor? and the pins and rack?i'm terrified that this will occur again, but when i am driving resulting in an accident.i am terrified that the replacement parts will fail.this is a 2013 honda accord coupe, i don't think the power steering should be failing in 2015.what will prevent the replacement parts from being just as faulty? i understand there is an investigation on this model, but honda dealership seems to be sitting down until people are injured.
Power steering wheel failure. Power steering wheel warning light came out and can't control the steering wheel while driving. Extremely dangerous!! recall is mandatory.
While driving the steering system turn off and the steering wheel became hard to turn.
Multiple times, while driving, my power steering will go out and it becomes very difficult for me to turn the wheel. I had to pull over while on the highway and restart my 2013 honda accord to temporarily fix the issue. This only happens while i am driving.
Power steering failed while driving 65 mph on highway, luckily one exit from a dealer. Eps warning light came on. Took car to dealer and fixed it for 2900.00. Warranty has since been extended from 5 to 13 years for this issue on my specific vehicle.
The steering began pulling to the left. The alignment was examined and adjusted without fixing the problem. I lifted the front of the vehicle off the ground, started the engine and the steering turned slowly by itself to the full left stop. Took the vehicle to the honda dealer for repair. They reset the error codes and examined everything. Upon leaving the dealer repair depot the steering pulled very hard to theleft. I returned and complained. The manager helped out and contacted honda factory support. A 4 wheel alignment was performed and adjusted to factory specs. The electronic steering system was fully reset and reprogrammed. This seemed to fix the problem. About 1 month later the steering system began to act erratically and continues to do so. Sometimes when turning a corner the steering system pulls in the direction of the turn, right or left. Sometimes it acts normally. All oddities seem to related to accelleration and braking. When driving in a straight line there is no deviation left or right however it is always harder to turn the wheel left than right.
While traveling at approximatley 45 miles per hour, my streeing wheel became very stiff and thencompletely locked. I turned the vehicle off and back on again which corrected the problem.
So scary when all of a sudden you can't move the steering wheel of your car. I couldn't get the car steering to move, it was worse than driving a mac truck. I had a real hard time getting around corners but what do you do when you have this happen at night with no one around but drive it to a safe place.
This is an update on what i experience with my 2013 honda accord 7/4/2017. On this day which was independence day my eps locked up while leaving south carolina headed back to north caroline. I had to have my car towed to the nearest honda dealership to exam the car to see why the system locked up. As i researched the issue i notice several issue with the eps system in this year model. I read that an extended warranty was given on the torque sensor 5 year. As honda diagnosed the vehicle they did the update and replaced the torque sensor, but the part that would allow the system to work was not covered under the extended warranty and that was the control unit. I located another article an it also had that honda was aware of this issue as well, but extended this warranty to only the fit and civic not the accords. I will be writing a letter to the corporate office regarding this issue as well. I'm not sure why they would only extend it to those two cars when accord are the number #1 seller. This was my second honda car and over all my family have purchased 4 honda cars. The cost for the control unit was almost $600.00 which i refused to pay and honda service brought the balance to $500.00 even as if they was doing me a favor. The service member and service was terrible and right now as a owner i'm not a satisfied client. If eps is a known issue why was the entire system extended under warranty. You know why it wasn't extended because they want the customer to pay for something at the end of the day. I know we all look for new improve ways to make technology better, but making an electric power steering was not a bright idea in my option. Luckily i was not driving on a highway doing 70 miles an hour and the steering locked up it could have been fatal for me or someone else. Today i think my option on purchasing a vehicle with honda will be last on the list.
My 16 year old son was driving my 2013 honda accord when the power steering failed. He was in motion on a county highway, traveling approximately 45 mph. He just came off an access road and had veered to the right to merge into on-coming traffic. The vehicle has less than 38k miles. The wheel jerked to the right and took great effort to center the vehicle and continue to a stop. He turned off the car and called me. Stated it was still driveable and drove home, but continued to have to accommodate for steering wheel jerking to the right and circulating out of control when let go. I drove the car upon his return and experienced same issue. Taking vehicle to honda dealership for diagnostic check.
My car's steering wheel randomly jerks like it's going to steer out of control, what i do is grip the wheel tightly and i'm able to gain control. It's not often but it's happened a few times within the past 2 months to draw concern. It's always while i'm driving on the highway.
Power steering failed while driving!this is the 2nd time this has happened within 6 mos.first time i was able to restart the steering by turning off the ignition and restarting. This time 4/20/17 can't get the epr to return!!! the car was in motion both times on local streets.
2013 honda accord (20k miles)issue: defective rack-n-pinioni attempted to put my accord in reverse and realized that i wasn't able to steer out of the driveway.it appeared that the steering wheel locked up or something was holding me from backing up.i also noticed an orange steering wheel indicator on my dash.(please keep in mind that my vehicle is in great condition.i've have it for over a year and i have never had this happen).i attempted to start my car a second time.this time it turned on just as before and the orange indicator light turned off.i felt it may have just been a fluke and i began driving down the street.however, not even half-a-mile down from my parents? house my accord steering wheel locked up again!this time it happened in the middle of the road while i was driving and while other vehicles were driving on the opposite side of the road. I could not maneuver my vehicle off the road.i just barely managed to angle the front part of my vehicle to the edge of a curb while the second half of the car was still in the street. Dealership informed me that it was a defective electric rack-n-pinion which caused my steering wheel to lock up.i asked him if this was a recall, or vehicle malfunction and he couldn't completely 100% provide me with an explanation.he did inform me that it?s going to be a $1,200 part to be serviced and that i will probably be without my own accord for about a week.i strongly feel that the honda corp should be aware of this issue, so i contacted honda via twitter.i felt completely brushed off and the rep, he said well sorry to hear that sir but they are repairing the issue sir.this was my second and last honda that i would purchase.i know i'm not the only one with this issue.honda should definitely look into it. The rep told me that they haven't had this issue previously-doubt it!
The vehicle was parked and stationary, once it was turned on the (eps) electrical power system light was displayed on the dash. Steering wheel was then difficult to move or turn. The indicator was constant from that point.
There was total power steering failure while doing parallel parking twice in an hour today (5/30/2016). It too much effort to turn even a little. We were lucky we were not on highway or street. Restarting the car seemed to resolve first failure. Second failure corrected itself upon driving couple of feet. Now, i am afraid to drive the car till this problem is fixed as it may result in crash.
I was driving and was about to turn on to my street and my power steering failed. It became really hard to turn. If there was a car parked i would have hit that car. I parked shut off the car and restarted the car and it seem fine till i turned the steering and as soon as i did it did the same exact things. Honda replaced the part. But its really dangerous and i worry if or when it will go out again.
The power steering malfunctioned on the new jersey turnpike exit 9 highway entrance ramp.updated 06/03/14 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 scthe 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
Electronic power steering system has failed for the 5th time in the last month.eps light illuminates on dashboard, total loss of steering control.vehicle is not safe to drive.was originally cleared by turning the car on and off, but now fails immediately upon starting vehicle.dealership quoted $1,700 repair - this should be a recall.
Lost power steering and almost lost control of car !!
Steering wheel turns left by itself when vehicle is stationary and ignition is first turn on and vehicle violently jerks hard left without any fair warning almost ripping steering wheel out of hands and takes me into opposite lane of highway when in motion driving down the road.
When driving the 2013 honda accord this morning at 60 mph for several miles, the power steering problem light lit on the dash and immediately lost all power to turn the steering.after another mile or so, and barely being able to turn the vehicle, the car was turned off and then back on.this must have reset the component as the light was off and steering was back to normal.fortunately, the car was not in a turn when this occurred as it may have caused a serious accident.2 hours later, i was at the dealer and was advised that they would change out the rack for $1700.this part has a 3 year / 36k warranty.my car is 2 years old but with 58k miles (highway).a rack should last far longer than 2 years, plus with the new technology, honda should be willing to fix it to learn to keep it from happening on future models.
2013 honda accord sport steering pulling to the right.not pulling very hard, but am afraid condition will worsen.i understand that you are looking into numerous complaints concerning problems with electric power steering on this model year honda accord.i have had tires rotated, suspension and components checked for wear, alignment checked with no problems found. Hope i don't have any severe steering problems that some accord owners have reported.my issue started about two months ago, about the same time i noticed a low whistling sound coming from the steering column.don't know if that is related to the steering issue but unusual to have the noise happen at the same time.thanks.
The traction control, brake, power steering and fcw error lights come on while driving. The message states "fcw failed". This happens while driving, parked and on all road surfaces. Even while parked in the garage. All lights come on at the same time.the come on as the vehicle gets to normal operating temperature.
Car keeps losing its power steering.doesn't matter what speed, nor how long i've been driving it, it's even gone out sitting at a traffic light. The only way to get it back is to turn the car off and then turn it back on.very scary when it goes out in the middle of a curve in the road.
Hello,the steering wheel starts puling me to the left without any warning, while i was driving at 20 mph. It almost cause me to crash. Since it happened the steering wheel almost constantly pulls me to the left. My accord 2013 has only 62,000 miles. I took car to the dealer. Upon inspection found steering gearbox/eps unit has internal failure. Estimate 3258.95. Honda's corporate office does not reply to my complain. Thanks
Just one day ago i was driving my honda accord ex-l sedan 2013 and i went to turn under the underpass and the steering wheel randomly locked up on me and i could barely turn the steering wheel so i panicked and i must of hit the gas pedal while trying to control the vehicle, but i couldn't turn it enough and i ran over the curb and into the underpasses cement pillar totaling the car so the next day i woke up and was so confused by what happened because that has never happened to me before and when i looked up what happened to me it seems that plenty of people have reported the same issue, but most of them ended up fine, but since i was trying to make a turn that the car wouldn't let me make once i already engaged in trying to turn i wasn't as fortunate as those other drivers luckily i wasn't killed or seriously injured.
While driving my steering wheel sharply turns left if let go of steering wheel.accidently i noticed i have a letter from honda to bring the car for steering gear software update where it references to two codes that if they are set honda will replace the steering gear assembly and extends warranty to 13 years after the purchase.dealer upgraded the software but test driving it and still car turns left sharply but their diagnostic is not coming with any code to say the what the issue is.the steering gear apparently is electrically driven. Their recommendation is to replace it at my own cost of $3750.i directly contacted the honda corporate at 800-999-1009 and described the situation and a case number assigned (#11377924).separately discussing the issue with dealer management and they said they also talk to honda engineering to find the issue and hopefully at no cost to me.unfortunately a couple of days the case has been turned down and honda case manager indicated they are not willing to cover the cost. I argued this is a safety matter and accident can happen.your honda diagnostic could not come up with any code and you need to figure this out for your own sake and honda reputation, but to no avail unfortunately. Dealer final offer was to give a couple of hundreds off of replacement cost. If there was a diagnostic and would be able to indicate the cause that would have been acceptable.currently this is a safety issue.i have the honda letter and dealership done the software upgrade but currently at the car is at the dealership the dealership is gillman honda in houston, tx at hwy 59 and sam houston beltway south.
My carā€™s steering automatically wants to turn to the left. This started a while back and has continued. I have to keep both hands on the wheel firmly to be prepared at all times for it to turn on its own.
My daughter and i purchased a 2013 honda accord attameron honda, daphne, al on february 16, 2018.we drove it for about two weeks and then the power steering started getting hard to steer.so we followed the owners manual by letting the car's eps to cool down.we then were able to drive it for awhile, then on march 22, 2018 my daughter was driving and the power steering eps warninglight came on and the steering was very hard making it almost impossible to drive safely.i call the tamron service department and was told the would fix it but i would have to pay for it.
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 warrantythrough 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.
I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord. I travel about 30k a year. I have been extremely meticulous with the exterior and maintenance of the vehicle. During the course of my travels, i have on at least 4-5 occasions had difficulty changing lanes. More specific, while trying to make a lane change at low speed (5-35 mph) i was unable to turn the wheel to make a lane change. The ability to steer came back quickly, but for a second or two, a turn was not possible. This past week, on 10/30/2019, a similar scenario transpired. I was stopped at a "stop" sign and needed cross an intersection and make a left turn. Just when it was time to turn, the steering wheel locked, not allowing me to turn left. As there was an oncoming vehicle, i was able slow down but struck a curb with my right front tire. The impact beat up the rim pretty bad and deflated the tire. I replaced the tire with the spare and headed to a near mechanic, about 1 mile away. The mechanic advised me not drive the vehicle. The damage included cracked rim, power steering rack and electronic steering box to name a few. In researching parts, i came across many incidents in which a 2013 honda accord has had failed steering capability. I contacted honda (case #10012315), they did not acknowledge a problem now, nor in the past and could not comment on problems that other people have had. I was told that the vehicle was old and had a lot of miles. They told me "you had an accident, why are you calling honda, you should be calling an insurance company". Honda would not do anything. I expressed my regret in not purchasing a future honda vehicle... Shame on honda.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving approximately 10 mph, the power steering malfunctioned and caused the steering wheel to become very difficult to turn. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The contact indicated that the failure previously occurred after the battery was recharged. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was an electrical short in the dome light. The dome light was removed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 55,000.
The steering indicator warning light came on and the steering wheel would not turn. Luckily the car was in a parking lot and no injuries occurred. The car was towed to the area's honda facility and repaired at a cost of almost $3000 dollars. The steering rack was replaced as it is integral with the steering torque sensor and the faulty part.
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 damageto my vehicle , shrubs,neighbor'spatio and my balcony.this was a terrifying event.investigations by insurance co and mechanic arepending at this time.
On two separate occasions my steering has gone out. 1st time was on april 4 2015 going approx. 20 miles per hour, was about to turn into a parking lot. Was totally unaware of what happen but steering got extremely hard. Had to turn the car off, pull out the manual and see what the indicator light on the dash meant. Then on april 24 2015, going approx. 75 miles per hour on the interstate it went out again. Could have caused a serious accident. I had to pull over and turn my car off and restart it. Needless to say i was a nervous wreck driving home. After this second incident is when i decided to research and see if others were having this problem and wow there are several. Its a shame this has not been a recall by now. I am more appalled by the number of people that have brought their vehicles in and have been told by the service people they cannot recreate the problem so nothing gets done. Will people need to be killed like the others car issues before this is resolved? my car just turned to 20,000 miles. I should not have issues. My car is going in on monday for service. Lets see how this is handled.
I was starting to drive after paying a toll on a bridge, when the car started jerking and the power steering went out. I could not control the car. Car turned 45 degrees and was hit by a peterbuilt truck. There was $7000.00 worth of damage to the car. Honda says there is nothing wrong with the car.
When i'm driving, my car will periodically steer itself to the right unless i forcefully hold the steering wheel against the direction it's trying to turn. This issue can also occur when idling at say a red light, or stop sign. This puts mine and others safety at risk because at any point my car could steer itself into another car without input. I have taken the vehicle to the authorized honda dealer in my city and was told that it was an "alignment" issue. Funny thing is, i went ahead and got an alignment when purchasing new tires a few weeks later and on my way home the issue happened numerous times (with videos to prove it) and continues to happen to this day. My vehicle gave no warning or messages prior to the issue happening. This has been an ongoing issue for close to two years now so i'm very happy to see that the news that this is an issue that the nhtsa is probing. Honda insinuating that this is an alignment issue is an insult to mine, and my families safety.
I was driving on the highway with my wife, mother in-law and my two years daughter and all of a sudden the steering wheel became very hard and steering light came on. I was very concerned about my family and myself because we were on the highway! i took the nearest exit it was very dificult to control the car. I stopped the to check my phone on what could be the cause? this seems to be a serious problem that happened to many people before and had reported it to the nhtsa. But nothing was done! i care for my family' safety and i will hold the nhtsa responsible if anything happens to me or my family due to this issue.this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed by honda.
Power steering failed while at a red light on 5/21/2017. It fixed itself after 3 car restarts (over the course of ~5 hours). The car was taken to the dealer on 5/22/2017 for software update to the electronic power steering control unit. The car drove fine until 5/27/2017 when it again lost power steering, this time while navigating a turn at 50mph on the freeway. Luckily, i was able to regain control of the car without hitting any other cars. Clearly, there is a problem with the electronic power steering and their software update does not solve the problem.
Steering wheel locks up while driving. Eps is the problem
While driving on a local street i attempted to male a left when suddenly the vehicle lost power steering. I turned the vehicle off for a few minutes, turned it on and the steering responded. That same day when returning home i decided not to take the highway because of the steering problem. Again, this time while driving in a straight line the vehicle lost steering. Turning it off again for three minutes seemed to restore steering.
Driving 40-45 miles per hour when steering felt unstable. Pulled in to parking lot when steering wheel symbol came on, car was very hard to steer at this point. Total loss of power steering.no damage or injury.
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.
On june 10, 2021 while pulling into my driveway the power steering went out on the honda.the steering wheel spun around and the car made an immediate left turn. Tested car on cul de sac by my house and the steering wheel fights to go straight and pulls hard to the left resulting in immediate left hand turn.when trying to drive, the steering fights to go in any other direction than left and if and you do not have a tight grip, the car will turn left.took honda to my independent car repair on june 11.he was able to replicate the issue & told me it was the eps and should be covered by honda on extended warranty from a federal recall.appointment made for june 16 at coggin honda orlando and was car towed there on june 15, 2021.june 16, honda called and said the eps and outer tire rods were broken. The parts were the parts included in the recall and extended warranty but the car was not showing trouble codes 5301 or 5302 so car was not covered, and they would have to charge me $2,730.25 for the repair.in fact, car was showing absolutely no trouble codes or potential coeds of any kind.service advisor gus ramirez & his boss fadi alzeideh both agree the part that is covered under the warranty is the part the needs replaced but their hands were tired due to no 5301 or 02 codes.case started with honda corporate on june 17, 2021. Case number 12296417.it shouldn't matter if there are trouble codes. The steering issue wasn't fixed during the initial recall in 2015 and should be covered now.had this happened 10 minutes earlier i would have been on the freeway during heavy traffic and people could have been seriously injured. Car was taken into rick roush honda in ohio for the initial recall on november 11, 2015.awaiting case manager and decision on warranty coverage from honda.
While driving, the power steering fails and becomes difficult to steer.the power steering warning light illuminates when this occurs.this condition has occurred at least 10 separate times in the last month and once was on the freeway traveling at 75 mph and another while traveling at 50 mph, both of which caused me to nearly lose control as i was changing lanes.all other instances occurred while making slow speed turns.shutting off the vehicle and restarting usually reset the system but last friday the steering failed again and has not been able to reset, going on 5 days now.this issue is dangerous and has been diagnosed at the local honda dealer as a faulty power steering rack unit.i have researched this concern and have found several other vehicles have exhibited the same problem.
I was getting off the highway and was driving home along the service road when i noticed the steering wheel automatically turned on its own, causing me to almost crash into parked cars. No lights appeared on my dash and it was out of the ordinary. Luckily i was off the highway driving at low speeds, otherwise i would have injured multiple people. The steering wheel became so hard to control requiring you to grip the steering wheel to turn it. Once you let go of the steering wheel, it would turn really fast on its own to the right. I tried turning on and off the car, unplugging the battery, but the issue was still there. I took it to the honda dealer and also contacted corporate in which i was told that the rack and pinion is bad, and if the car doesn't show a code, they won't cover it. My car only has 46k miles, and a big safety issue like this should have been covered or partially covered. Instead, i was told it was going to be over $3k for install and parts, which is ridiculous.

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.
Pick this vehicle up from the dealer got one exit down on the highway and turned around because even holding the steel will perfectly straight with both hands on the wheel the car just drifts from side to side in the lane and is extremely difficult to keep control of while at highway speeds, i brought the vehicle back to the dealer who said that they put it back on the alignment machine and that there was nothing wrong with the alignment, i also am having issues with the rear defroster not working properly. I also pointed out a visual defect in the paint on the hood of the car which the dealer said i'll will call you back in a week or two and set up an appointment and will have to have the hood repainted i have yet five months later yet to hear back from this dealer ship as to when the going to actually repaint the hood on the vehicle.
The trunk has opened by itself several times. The last time was dec. 26. It is only when it is parked.i took it to the honda dealer and they said nothing was wrong with the latch, and they couldn't find the problem.
In the few years i've had my car, which i take very good care of and have low mileage on, the power steering stopped working suddenly while i was driving (very scary and dangerous!), the driver's side sun visor broke one day when i was trying to put it back up, and the dashboard sensors go off unnecessarily. Very disappointing from a honda vehicle. Beware!
Paint is flackying from car. Visible areas that can be seeing where paint is peeling away and primer is exposed. I have asked if i could drive car in or send pictures to ensure that this is not do to lack of care. My vehicle looks and runs excellent. Large areas of peeling paint that can easily be seen.i have made several attempts at contacting both the dealership and american honda, yet i have had no success at a resolution.
I was driving 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.
Ac was blowing cold air, took the car to middletown honda in middletown ny where it was purchased and was told the ac condenser is damaged due to road debris and it needs to be replaced at a cost of $650.00
Battery terminal corrosion - the factory battery had severe corrosion problems after 2 yrs (unlike any of my other 3 cars). On the third year it died and was replaced with a aaa battery. After 6 months this battery is also showing corrosion. This seems to be a common issue after doing google searches. What's worse is the positive batter cable is not an easy nor economical replacement once the corrosion finds its way inside. I believe the corrosion is happening because of the 'smart charging system' honda is using on this vehicle. Never seen this problem in my 30+ yrs of owning dozens of cars.
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.updated 06/13/13*lj
The driver's side mirror is distorted causing the cars to appear further away than they actually are.there is a horizontal line that contributes to the distortion.i have been having a difficult time with this since i purchased the vehicle.it also makes me dizzy/have double vision as i look into the mirror after a few seconds.this distortion caused me to get into an accident where i was changing lanes thinking the vehicle in the lane left to me was further behind me.both vehicles had extensive damage and the drivers injuries.on several other occasions i have vehicles beeped at me when i am changing lanes because they are closer than they appear in my mirror.i took the car back to honda for the repairs and the employee was aware of the distortion the mirror causes.in fact, on the way to the dealership i almost had another crash, something i told the honda representative.as i think back of when i test drove the vehicle before purchase, the salesperson took me on a road where there were no other vehicles passing by us so that i could realize the distortion.i contacted honda's main customer service number and have been told that honda designed their mirror that way so that the driver has a larger view of the vehicles in their blind spot.this design is flawed and causes a dangerous distortion making the vehicles appear further away and making the driver think that they have time to change lanes.
I was driving my honda accord 2013 ex-l v6 on interstate 405 in washington state between bellevue and kirkland when i heard a large explosion over my head. Glass immediately fell on me and all over my car. I looked up and saw that my sunroof had broken into many pieces. The brunt of the glass fell on the passenger seat so i was lucky that no one was riding with me, but i still had a few cuts on my arm from the glass falling on me. Of course, in shock from the explosion, i swerved out of panic to the side of the road, which could have caused another accident if someone was on the right of me. Honda denies that the sunroof exploded and that a rock must have hit the sunroof, but i have seen countless first hand accounts on the internet detailing this same experience on multiple honda vehicles. Honda will not take ownership and i could have been seriously hurt or impaled from the glass. Honda should be held accountable. The sunroof glass is not up to par and there was no rock contained within my vehicle and i did not hear a loud thud when the explosion occurred.

2013 honda accord sport has had its trunk open by itself on multiple occasions. The trunk has never opened on it own while in motion but when it is parked. It is only discovered when i walk back to the car and see the trunk cracked open. This is a security/safety breach in my case as i sometimes will keep firearms in the security of the trunk leading to the potential of stolen firearms from an open trunk. I have not been able to determine the cause of the trunk randomly opening. This has happened to me at least 3 times throughout the ownership of the car.

As i was making a left turn all the dashboard lights turned on. I took it to autozoneand they told me there is something wrong with rear tire on the passanger side
As i was making a left turn at low speed from a stop sign, my car lost stability and steering felt unusual.traffic was light and i was able to recover.the two subsequent turns (right and then left) on the same drive yielded similar feelings.when i looked into this, i found reports of an investigation by the nhtsa regarding loss of power steering on these vehicles.i believe this incident was related and felt it best to file a report.
Experiencing the same issue as reported in nhtsa reference #10055834tsb reference #in-4-18-2014honda: 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.
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.
I have had 3 (or 4) false low tire pressure warnings. The first 3 times the dealer refused to do anything other than check the pressure and reset the light. The last time i had an alarm i drove another 25 miles and then looked at the tires. I could see nothing wrong so i assumed it was another false alarm. This incident occurred on a saturday so the dealer was closed and i continued the trip we had planned. When i finally went to the dealer, it was 5 days and 300 miles later, the dealer did find a nail and the pressure was 24 psi. Now the dealer is telling me that he has researched the honda data base and/or talked to honda and there is nothing else they can do until i bring it in again with a false alarm. They will then connect the computer and begin a procedure.
False low tire pressure indication.honda accord owned for 12 months, less than 12,000 miles, i have received a low tire pressure indication for the fourth time.the previous three times, before taking my accord to the dealership, i checked the tire pressure.all four tire pressures are within recommended settings.after receiving my vehicle after service, the service department reports all four tire pressures are low.the last time the service manager indicates the tires need to be re-inflated every 2 - 3 thousand miles.continued false indications is as much as a safety issue as the indicator not working at all.
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.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.
Two false tpms low pressure warnings, second occurrence 7/19/2013. Tire pressure during both occurrences was correct when subsequently measured with tires 'cold' after warning.tpms was recalibrated after both false warnings. Tpms is an indirect system, computed through abs system. Checked with american honda for a firmware update, none pending.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds in the rain, the brake pedal was depressed however, vehicle was hard to stop and unstable. The brake, tpms, and vehicle stability assist warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to walsh honda (2056 eisenhower pkwy, macon, ga 31206, (478) 788-4510) where the contact was informed that the repair parts were on back order. The contact stated the wrong part was previously installed in the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 132,000. Invalid vin.
The tpms light came on a few hundred miles before a tire blew out.i considered the tear in the side-wall of the tire before the blow to be the likely cause of the tpms light on (losing pressure).after a brand new set of four (4) tires, no matter how many times i try to re-calibrate the tpms, or check the tire pressure myself, or take the car to the tire shop to check the pressures, the light remains on no matter what.this is an on0going issue that continues daily, despite driving conditions.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. After starting the vehicle, the traction control and power steering indicators illuminated.

I went to crank my car, which was perfectly fineyesferday , and it wont turn over and there are several lightson and clicking and blinking.

Vsm brakes modulator failed as soon as i bought it and paid fix 1600.i've found the modulator wire made by soybeans and rabit or mouse bited it and broke it. The car company must promiss for safe to the driver and it happens by maker's failure that made by soybeans to involve the animal chewed to threaten safety.
I was driving on a highway at 50mph and suddenly felt my car slightly jerk and make a popping noise. I did not see any obstructions prior to this, even though it felt like i had run over a tree branch. I pulled over as soon as possible and everything on my car seemed fine until i saw my sunroof was shattered. The middle part had completely broken off while the rest of the glass was shattered. It looked like something had fallen out of the sky and hit it, although it did not feel like anything had bounced off my car while driving. The sunroof door had been closed and i rarely open it (the last time i used it was at least 6 months ago).
Apparently, honda has been using wiring harnesses that are coated in some sort of soy based material in an effort to go green. Unfortunately, this has resulted in an unwanted consequence of rodents being attracted to my car. They are constantly trying to chew through the wires and this can result in a very expensive repair bill from honda. This is something they did to the vehicles they manufacturer, and the fact that they're making us vehicle owners pay for the repair bills is unacceptable to me, but what can you do? i've read online this is not just affecting vehicle owners in rural areas, but owners who live in cities like i do. So far, i've had to use some bitter apple spray that only causes the rodents to try nibbling elsewhere in the engine bay.i don't have any pictures, but i can take some upon request. I'd hate to be driving when something fails.
My driver side front and rear doors did not open during the winter season. I suspect they were frozen from the cold weather. But then again it only occurred on the driver side. Somewhat of an safety issue i would think.
***happens when vehicle is parked and turned off*** this car has a "feature" that is not disclosed to customers upon purchase which can lead to a dangerous condition for property and the interior of the vehicle. If the key fob is placed in a pocket with keys (as everyone does), there is a combination of inadvertent button presses (specifically unlock / unlock / unlock) which causes all of the windows and the sunroof to open. This has lead to my car being soaked by having all the windows open during a rainstorm while i was inside my office (with the vehicle parked right outside -the key fob works from quite a far distance). It has also lead to my belongings being compromised due to all of the windows opening when i parked in the city and was sitting in a building with the keys in my pocket, among other times. When i returned to the selling dealer i was told that they were unaware of this feature and i should read the manual. It is not detailed in the manual and there is no way to disable it.
The car has a push button crank also wouldn't start at all and had to jump stat it the other day after work. At times it takes several tries for car to crank. It is said to be the starter the car in very old low mileage and honda has had multiple complains and this is not been recalled.the vehicle was jump started at my work in graham nc. Feel that honda is not responding to the complaints and fixing the issue. Will not buy another honda if this is what kind of customer service they have regarding threat products!

My vehicle shut down while parked in an plaza on pembroke road at the beginning on march 2015. This happened again x 2 while the vehicle was parked (engine running) on separate days. The last time it happened i was driving along pines boulevard in peak hour traffic (tuesday april 21st 2015), as i approached the intersection of hiatus road and pines boulevard, i started slowing down for a red light. The vehicle then shut down/stalled again. The fact that there was a red light helped to prevent and accident, as everyone driving in the same direction had to stop. This time i had to call for a police cruiser to stand in place until i was able to get a tow or get it started again. After about 30 minutes, i finally got it started again and made it home. I took it to a honda dealer on wednesday april 22, 2015. They were able to replicate the issue but after replacing the battery (4-23-2015), fuel pump (4-24-2015) they said that the issue still persists and is now getting more frequent.they (autonation honda in miami lakes) have been trying to 'fix' the problem but they have not yet succeeded. Today is may 3rd 2015i am asking that the ntsb looks into this issue, as the last time it happened i was in peak hour traffic, this issue can lead to an accident.. I also contacted honda corporate customer service and reported the issue. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall. Plus battery gap that can cause ignition / fire hazard. Honda said they will do this recall at carson honda (nov 1, 2017), however one of window started malfunctioning after recall performed. Not sure if recall is performed either.
For several years, the starter has been work sporadically. This started in 2014.it has progressively gotten worse. I cant count on the car to start.
When starting pushing the start button the car wont start until after a few tries, i even brought a new battery and that's not the problem.. I have about a little over 77 thousand miles.. This is happening more and more.

Had gotten back in my car after a stop at a retail store. When i turned the car on the tire pressure light was blinking, the electric power steering light was on, and the vehicle stability assistlight was on. I pulled over at another store within a half mile. I got out and checked the tires for a possible flat - no problem. Turned car back on and same scenario with the 3 lights on. Only difference was the tire pressure light stopped flashing but stayed on continuously. I looked in car manual, page 6 of honda technology reference guide, under the heading of malfunction indicators and it said, "if an indicator remains on, there may be a problem; see your dealer".i will call my car dealer in the morning. I want to state that i still had full control of my power steering. I read of others losing the power steering but mine was okay. After the second stop the 3 malfunctioning indicator lights went out.
The starting can't start the car and i had it replaced and it still won't start. I've seen a lot of complaints about the 2013 honda accord starter and i don't know why it hasn't been recalled
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 andturn the ignition off then restart the car and radio plays clearly. I learned thistechnique from a honda forum
The humming noiseon and off randomly in recent days ( 06/06/2018 ), sometimes very loud like a motorcycle roaring beside the car. Most of the noise happen around 40-70 mph while driving on highway ( louder ) and city ( humming ). My 2013 honda accordis around 70000 +/- miles, replace new tires at around 63000 miles, and regular maintenance at dealer,thus not the tires problem. Don't know where the noise come from. Many drivers indicate the same problems when surf online complains, and maybe some safety issue to worry.
2013 honda accord won't start.lights, a/c, radio, windows work. This occurred after 50,000 miles.i would have to turn steering column at first to get it to start.now it doesn't start at all!the vehicle is stationary
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.
Had two of my car door actuators went up had to pay over $800 to repair them people were getting locked in my car when to stopped .next day doors making some noise took my car back to dealer they said the other two doors were going up .talk to the mechanic that did the work he said he would do the work for a discount if they would ok it. Since they did not find it same day.they said no waythey want another $800 to fix them . So people are still getting locked in my car. I think this would be a saftey issue.
I woke up this morning to drive to work, while i was driving the engine cut off, i almost hit a fire hydrant. I drove 0.3 miles, i was at the red light ,about to make a right turn, the vehicle cut off again. The steering got locked and i coudln't position the vehicle.ever since the recall was done on my vehicle regarding the battery issue, i've been having problem, it's either i jump start today, or the car wont start. I was told they didnt touch nothng in the vehicle.honda claim the vehicle is okay.
At times the car will not start when the ignition key is turned. It willstart on the second turn. On 11/17/2017 , it did not start on the second try. I called for a tow truck . The driver arrived and after turning the key multiple times , the car started. He stated that it is the starter and to have it checked.
Faulty starter: has been an issue for more than a year.increasingly, it has taken more than one time to start the car. At times it has taken more than 8 times pushing the "push-to-start" button to get the car to start. Based on my research this has been a know issue for honda for more than 2 years, but they have yet to issue a recall to remedy the problem.it cost me ~$650 to replace the starter.
I have owned my 2013 honda accord since 2013.i have had numerous problems with this model.the most being with the car starting.i have replaced the battery and the starter and am still having problems starting the car.i went online and noticed that this is a huge problem with this model.th car makes a clicking noise as if it is going to start then it doesn't start.all the lights come on and it then begins to start after a couple of minutes have gone by.pushing the button does not get the car to start.you have to push it numerous times to get it to start.this problem has cost me upwards of $700 to $1,000 to replace every time there is an issue.this should be a manufacturers issue as a starter should not be worn out in 3 years.please take a look at this problem as i am sure it will be a lawsuit coming soon based on all the other complaints i have read with this issue.i am taking my car back to the dealer today to have this issue looked at again.
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.
Went to start the car,the car will not turn on,everything works but car won't start.seems to be a problem with the starter.
The car won't start. In park put key in ignition and turn, just a click noise. Car won't start. Happens daily sometimes m turn the key sometimes twice, sometimes more than 10 times. New car low miles. I know that there are several others with this issue!
My 2013 accord sport suddenly veered left on it's own and i hit a telephone pole breaking it in half. The air bags did not deploy. The car is a total loss and i am injured. I was driving in a straight line when this happened.
I had a recall affecting the charging system of my car. I did take my car in for the second part of the recall but unfortunately since that work was done my car is emitting smoke like smell as i am driving even when the heat is not on. Also it is heating without me turning the heater on as well. It is to be noted that i never had that issue before. I had the work done on 12/18/2017
The contact owned a 2013 honda accord. While the contact was at the doctor's office, she was alerted that her vehicle was on fire in the parking lot. The contact was unsure if a police report was filed. The fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to the local police department. The contact's insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled after the police inspection. There were no injuries. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The cause of the failure was not determined. The vin was unknown. Consumer stated she received a recall for a battery part that could cause fire. Consumer took the vehicle for an oil change to honda dealer but part was not replaced. Consumer states while in the doctors office, car started a fire in the parking lot. Fire was extensive but manufacturer claims it is not their problem.

Since purchased new in 2013, this car hesitates after stopping and attempting to accelerate with thefront 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.
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.
Car clicks before starting, cuts off while driving, steering locks when car cuts off. I drive a considerable amount of time on the freeway with my family. This is a very dangerous situation to the lives of myself, family and other drivers on the road. This is a daily occurrence.speed varies when this happens. Sometimes it occurs from a cold or warmed start.
(2014)tire pressure turned on .. When taken to the dealership the tire side wall was already damaged and needed to purchase a new tire.2nd incident,tire pressure light turned on at 730am on sept 23,2015 ..when vehicle was taken to be seen at 8am they said the side tire wall was damage and needed to purchase a new tire.if tire pressure gauge notified properly there would be no need to purchase tires
Honda has a "lanewatch" camera that a screen comes on when the right turn signal is deployed.our honda's camera fails to come on leaving the screen in a normal mode.this would be such as gas mileage etc.dealer and honda mototors refuse to acknowledge problem.they need to "replicate" at dealer.we called them to come to our home which is less than 5 minutes away. They always are busy or have an excuse.the vehicle was moving forward ready to turn on a city street.we took the video to show the turn signal on and no "lanewatch".we have also filed a complaint on our rear camera blacking out. Dealer refuses to fix.driveaccord.com is full of similar cases. Seems like a honda defective product.
Hesitation when moving forward.it bumps three to four times on low speeds.
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
When i first purchased my 2013 honda accord from the dealership i noticed sometimes the push start would stall or sound like it was failing. Also my driver side door would not respond to my key fob. All other doors respond to it except the driver door. I have replaced the battery and still the issue hasn't been resolved. I have been taking the actual key out of the fob and inserting it into the car door to unlockmy driver side door. Now the ac has began to stop and start. It almost sounds like the fan motor is kicking on and off. And my driver side seat is not sliding back properly. It will began to glide then stop. Then i have to keep pressing and it'll glide back a little and then stop again. Overall i think there is some sort of electrical shortage or something is happening with it. According to the national highway traffic safety administration there was an electrical system recall sent out june 29, 2017. As stated on their website this could result in an electrical short increases the risk of a fire. The nhtsa campaign id is 17v418000 !
The contact owned a 2013 honda accord. While driving at an unknown speed, an abnormal noise was heard under the hood of the vehicle. The contact noticed smoke and fire coming from the front of the vehicle. The fire department extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The fire department stated that the battery exploded, which caused the failure. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to an auto collision lot. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Car developed problems starting.all lights, radio, etc would turn on but the starter will not start the vehicle.it began slowly and got increasingly worse with time.problem got even worse after the recalled battery sensor was replaced.
I am the first owner of my 2013 honda accord sport and 2 months ago i developed an issue with the starter. I've replaced the starter twice and tonight got stranded and had to call a tow truck to bring it home. I've gone to the honda dealer and, of course, there's an issue with the starter, but it will cost $1000+ to fix! this issue must be investigated and recalled as soon as possible. Honda is fully aware of all of these issues and if you get the right technician at the dealership - they'll tell you honda is fully aware, but couldn't care less! 2 starters later - i'm still in the same position!
Vehicle was parked. Upon pressing brake to shift to "drive" the vehicle jolted multiple times then accelerated forward. The vehicle collided with another vehicle directly in front injuring a person who was between both vehicles at the time.
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!!
It so far has happened to me twice that i need to jump-start the car. There probably has some electrical leakage issues or something related to it.the first time it was more than a year ago that when i came earlier to a doctor appointment waiting for the clinic to open, i turned off the car and left the cd player on. But it only played for about half an hour or so it turned off automatically due to the battery power has already been depleted and the card could not start at all that i had to call aaa after the doctor appointment to jump-start for me. I thought at that time it was due to the cd player took too much power so i did not complain about it.but the second time it was a few weeks ago on sunday, which give me the concerns that there must be some electrical leakage on my car. After parking for the church meeting and turned off the car, both my wife and i decided to open the window a little bit to let the air flows in the hot weather since we parked under acovered parking and would not worry about possible rainfall. So before we open the doors, we opened both front windows a very little bit and left for the meetings. Then about 3.5-4 hours later when it was time to go home, we found out the car would not start, and we had to ask for help to jump-start it again. This time it gave a definite guess that there must be some electrical leakage in the car.i also complained in early june of this year about the steering wheel lock issue. I received a mail from honda to fix it, but when i call the dealers, none of them even offer loaner cars for such recall and manufacture failure repairs.honda is bad for things like this.i don't know whether i should purchase honda again in the future.i never complained once for my toyota for years. Even they schedule for manufacture recalls, which i never encounter myself, i did not have to worry about the loaner car.
It turns over the battery light goes on smells like smoke
When i start my vehicle, the engine turns on, but only stays on for a second or two before loosing power. The battery seems to be working perfectly fine as the lights and indicators are properly lit. The starter also cranks properly. The engine however turns on but doesn't stay o. This has happened to me multiple times and i have changed my car battery 3 times now as the dealership isn't unable to identify what the issue is and my battery keeps getting drained. The car is particularly susceptible to this issue in the mornings in colder temperatures (50 degrees or so as i live in southern california) after not being used overnight
Rear view camera goes completely black only showing guildance lines
I have been stranded about 15 times due to my car not starting and having several warninglights on. I bought this vehicle new and have completed all the necessary scheduled maintenance.i should not be experiencing this.after doing some research, several honda owners are experiencing thus same issue.this problem is starting to diminish my quality of life. I have to work for a living and not having a reliable vehicle has caused me to be late or miss work.honda is supposed to be one of the reliable vehicles but that is not the case for me.i truly believe this car is a lemon.when this has happened, my vehicle was off and stationary.i want to stress that this has happened 15 times and i wish i had stumbled on this site the first time because i would have logged each incident.it does not feel good to be stranded with a broken vehicle.
For the last year, the car has been unable to start after parking it for a few minutes. Usually after a few key turns it will start. A month ago it would not start at all so we towed it. The dealership decided it was the starter. After 37,000 miles? it's a honda! it worked fine for 5 weeks and then it died again after being driven just a few miles. This time the dash lights flashed and clicked for a few minutes but would not start. After towing it, the dealership hooked it up to a jumpstart and it started! three lights continued to flash so the dealership hooked it up to the computer. I called them a couple days later and they have no answers. I hate letting my wife drive an unreliable vehicle.
The starter on the 2013 honda accord ex-l sedan began to fail at less than 50k miles. It began with the symptoms of not starting with the first press on the push button ignition, which i was told by honda may just be a fault of my own for not operating the push button system correctly. This turned out to be incorrect as once my warranty expired the car started to require more and most "pushes" to start. Eventually i was left stranded and the car would on start at all irrespective of the number of times i tried. While this was not a safety issue where i was stranded, in other situations this could have easily resulted in injury, or in the worst case, the loss of life.
Push button start is not responding on a regular basis. When button is pushed,the battery is activated and all lights and radio are operational, however the car does not start. Battery has been tested and all connections seem to be working properly. V6 models of this car have had a service bulletin 16-002 issued for starter, however my car is a four cylinder and therefore not eligible to be looked at under service bulletin.. Issue can happen after several starts during the day, after sitting in cold or garage. It does not seem to make a difference whether the car has been running or not. Car has 102,000 miles on it, and is in good condition. There are many complaints online regarding this same situation with my model, seems as though it is the exact same issue as with the v6. This is an ongoing and random issue. I have never been unable to start the car after several tries, but not sure if this luck will end soon.
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
Rearview camera screen is black when i put car in reverse
Honda accord recall nhtsa recall number17v-418called local honda service center, honda city in bethpage ny.they stated the don't have the parts for the recall and don't expect to get them for a couple of months.please advise.
Starter stopped working.
Driving down the highway when all of a sudden i heard a loud noise thinking i had a blowout to find out my sunroof glass just shattered .not a car was around me when this happen.
There are many many complaints on line about the starters on the 2013 honda accord - but honda still has not made a recall??this is an expensive part to replace and they are not helping anyone?i am afraid i will get stuck somewhere and my car will not start - but it is almost one thousand dollars to get it repaired!!!!i have to crank it many times before it will start.the one shop made me get a new battery - but that did not make any difference.i feel like i will get stranded somewhere unsafe!
I have not owned the car in question since may 2016 after this car was totaled in an accident and i keep getting calls from honda of pasadena (pasadena, ca). The process on the nhtsa website says that the manufacturer contacts car owners to notify them of safety recalls correct? are dealers allowed to use my personal phone number/data to solicit me for these repairs multiple times like this?i mean, the notification from the manufacturer appears to be enough; this will allow the customer to choose the dealership on their own. The practice of the dealership reaching out to me is more like an unethical practice to bait customers into getting repair money from the manufacturer. This is in fact baiting. Please help and respond as soon as possible.
Car has issues starting and with 60k miles only. There might be a defective battery sensor or starter. Alternator checked and battery checked with no issues. Ignition will need to be turned a few times before car starts right up. No lights on dashboard indicating any issues mechanically. Something that needs to be looked into as my vehicle is maintained regularly and serviced by honda. Sometimes it starts right up and other times it takes 3 to 5 turns on the ignition for the car to start.
While driving with the ac for 15 minutes; a little smoke starts to come out of the center consoles two vents. This has been happening for the last 2 weeks every time we drive for over 15 minutes. The smoke last for up to 30 seconds then stops. Once it is done, a slight odor of burned electrical can be noticed.
Different door lock actuators have been replaced multiple times since original ownership in 2012. Power lock suddenly does not actuate with remote nor driver side control. Only physical actuation of lock engages or disengages lock
Honda used a bad starter when making the 2013 accord. They also put the exhaust manifold right over it. So the starter fails right as the warranty expires on your car. I know i'm not the only one to have this happen. The car will not start. The starter is garbage. It should not have failed this soon.
Car would not start after pushing push start multiple times at 5:00 p.m. Car was stationary .tried to start again at 6:00 p.m., would not start.next morning tried to again to start car, failed to start.called aaa they came twice the first tech stated battery was fine and that it was the starter he didn't have tow truck so a second tech came again stated it was the starter.car was towed to honda dealership and the diagnosis was starter needed to be replaced.
2013 honda accord is failing to start.push starter button and it will not start, then again and will not start,then againandit will start.beginning to occur more frequently. Have a new battery and checked alternator and everything fine.the car was stationary at the time i was trying to start it.
A few days after the recall work was completed the car would not start when i pressed the start button.it went into accessory mode instead of starting. Every day since then it has intermittently started after several attempts. It sometimes requires four, five or more attempts to start the engine. We replaced the battery on may 4, 2019. The intermittent starts continue. I found several internet sites that list other 2013 honda accord owners experiencing the same problem with no positive solutions.
Starter stop working
Nhtsa recall 17v-418. The dealer at steven creek road, san jose, ca charged us $80 for the diagnostic test. Called the honda and still insist that we need to pay. The dealer threatened not to release the car after t hey did the final repair. We don't have choice but to pay. We were taken advantage by honda. I filed a complaint to honda under case # 06455487 but jennifer insistwe need to pay. What a shame?we have the car back but we feel we were cheated by this company!
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.
For the past few months the push button start has been intermittent. Sometimes it will start right away, sometimes all i get is a click, and sometimes nothing. Often have to push it several times before the car will finally start. The battery in the key fob is new, the car battery has been checked. I assume it's the starter from the sound of it. All the lights and power windows work. I researched the cost and it's anywhere from 600-800 to replace starter, that's more than the car payment! the car is only 4 years old! consumers should be protected against manufactures trying to make more money off of parts. After much research i see a lot of complaints on this very issue and even after replacing the starter the same problem occurs. Now it could be an electrical issue along with the starter. Today was final straw, after getting ice cream with my 2 little kids in 92 degree weather, the car would not start at all! so i had to call a friend to pick me and the kids up, we had to wait in 92 degree weather! no one should have to experience this event with a new car! honda needs to recall this starter defect and fix starters issuesimmediately. Thank you.
When i stopped for paying toll, car displayed engine light and steering safely light with jerking sound,not accelerationand steering g locked for few seconds and then released .i pulled the vehicle to parking lot and stopped...i started the vehicle after 3 minutes ... There is a rattling noise in the engine and (fcw) warning came... Says fcw system failed . I left the car at parking lot and towing back to dealer tomorrow... Not safe to drive as the accelation is very erratic and consistent ...traveling with my kids and scared of losing control of the car... It is on interstate 294 close o'hare airport .. Christmas day and all repair shops closed
When i push the start button it doesn't always start - get a grinding noise.
Vehicle only has 77,000 and seems to turn off on it own , lights on the vehicle stays on but when trying to turn on the vehicle it wont turn on
" starter needed to be replaced" my 2013 accord only has 65,000 miles and had to have the starter replaced. I would have to turn the key multiple times in order for the car to start- i thought it had to do with the recent battery recall.
Dear sir/madam:i bought my car in 2013 and my battery went bad this year. I contacted honda to inform that it is unusual to get the battery went bad within 3 years when i was using it very careful. I asked them to change the battery and they refused to take any liability since they said it is regular wear and tear. I told them even aaa give 5 year warranty on their battery.last month, i received an email from honda stating the following:"american honda motor co., inc. (honda) is recalling certain model year 2013 - 2016 accord vehicles. In certain vehicles, the plastic case of the battery sensor may have gaps that allow moisture to enter the sensor.safety risk:if moisture containing conductive substances (such as road salt) enters the battery sensor, it could cause an electrical short and subsequently, a fire."they still refused to reimburse me $300.00 of what i paid for my battery although they have recall.
2013 accord having issues starting, turn once nothing, i give it a minute then it starts, this is every time i get in my car to drive.i've already had to replace battery.this is embarrassing considering the car is not yet 3 years old!
Problem with windows/sunroof:car parked in okc parking lot for 11+ hours and when went to leave, all four windows were down and sunroof was open.car remained locked.this is security issue since anyone can access vehicle and even open trunk (nothing would be safe).
I own a 2013 (bought new) with 45000 miles on it.the starter went out and the torque converter needs replaced as well.it a beautiful car and its way to soon to be having these issues.the car won't start and makes a grinding noise.
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.
My car will not start at times, i make several attempts and after 4 or 5 trys it them starts.
I am getting error readings on my 2013 honda accord exl, v6 that the fcw has failed which is causing other error lights (tire pressure, traction, etc). I have only 65,000 miles on this car. Should this failure occur at this small mileage? should this not be a recall issue?
While backing the vehicle rear camera goes black, leaving only lighted trajectory lines on the screen.for 2 years the car has been under warranty and the dealer has not been able to fix the problem. It has happened stationary and moving. On a city street only.we have multiple videos and pictures if needed.
The car has intermittent starting issues. I have had the battery and alternator changed and checked and there appear to be no issues there. Online forums suggest that this is a endemic starter issue with honda accords. Sometimes the car will start with ease. Other times it will not start at all. When it does not start i have to jump it, but when i take it to the auto shop afterwards they tell me that there are no apparent issues with the battery or alternator.
Car will not start even with the key fob inside the car. Key fob has new battery, car battery is fine as well. Bringing the fob close to the start button occasionally starts the car.similar issue was recalled in earlier models, no recall has been issued for later vins
After only 40,000 miles, 2013 v6 accord, car starter giving problem. Car didn't start at one point and after many trials, started with jump start after that, started giving jerk like engine stalls during driving. Scary and dangerous situation.
Honda's reply to my complaint below / $250 gift card was an absolute "slap in the face" to me as a so called "appreciation for my honda loyalty" and not recognizing this engineering defect!i'm now even more disgusted with honda and i plan to do everything in my power to warn others.i've recently read where a class action lawsuit was recently settled for a similar problem w/honda civics, odysseus & an acura model.honda recognized / admitted to this similar design flaw only after they were forced to do so. Absolutely shameful!!!exerts from my 8/25 letter to honda below;dear sirs,i wanted to make you aware of an occurrence i just experienced with my 2013 honda accord i just purchased (6/10/2014).my air conditioner stopped cooling on fri, 8/22/2014 after leaving work.after i returned home from a sweltering 45 mile commute, i immediately notified the local dealership and scheduled an appointment on sat, 8/23.as my 2013 certified honda accord was still under warranty (i purchased 74 days early), i was sure the problem would be covered @no cost to me.i had even purchased honda''s extended warranty on 6/10 even though ivenever experienced repair problems with my purchases in the past. I was told road debris had damaged the condenser due to its lack of protection, all of the freon leaked out, the condenser would have to be replaced and it would not be covered under warranty.the condenser cost was $168.00 while with installation cost was $400.99!after all of my research online it appears this is a 'wide-spread design problem and honda is actually making money off of the defect by charging outrageous service fees to fix the problem.it disgusts me to think this could happen again and again!
After experiencing hard starting where key would not activate engine, the vehicle finally would not start.after dealership investigation, the dealership indicated starter solenoid and starter motor were faulty and needed to be replaced.starter motor on a vehicle with less than 42,000 miles should not require replacement.honda has a larger issue with starter motors in my opinion.vehicle was stationary when it would not start.
Car in the morning hesitates just pulling out of its parking space. Put the car in reverse and it won't move. Put it in drive and same issue. It seems as if it's trying to warm up maybe? when it does start moving, it runs at 5-10 mph at 3k rpms. I let it roll slowly and after a few minutes it starts to drive normal. Going uphill, i experience a similar issue where the car is running at very high rpms at low speeds. I get the effect in eco and in s mode. It doesn't seem to matter.car is a 2013 has about 42k miles and started to experience this issue about 4-5k miles ago. I just assumed it was because the car wasn't warm enough or because its a 4 cylinder. Looking further into this noted that this seems to be a common issue with honda's cvt.
Cannot steer when turning and when turning the wheels keep turning,cannot get the speed upnormally have to pump the gas hard for car to accelerate.
After a complete stop, then an attempt to accelerate, the car hesitates and then moves forward in an uncontrolled manner.it seems like the transmission is hunting for a gear and then suddenly finds it allowing the car to move but not in a way the driver would like.
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.
There is a hesitation/jerk/shudder when accelerating at various speeds.
Driving on a busy s.e. Street in washington dc, driving about 20 to 30 mph., heard a noise that sounded like a tire blowing out or some other type of noise emanating from underneath the car. I tried to press the brake, but instead the car accelerated and would not stop. It sped up at least another 15 to 20 more mph, and again, would not stop. There were vehicles in the back, so i could not use the emergency brake or shut the car off. There were also vehicles on the side and in front of my vehicle. I had to make a decision on how to slow the car down without hitting any pedestrians or any other vehicles. Decided to try and stop the car by hitting something stationary and ran into a set of steps that belonged to an office building. Airbags deployed and two passersby stopped to assist me and my passenger out of the car. We were both transported by ambulance to a hospital with substantial injuries to the chest, rib, neck and back for myself and the passenger.
Vehicle stall, failed to accelerate . The stall is common and honda needs to fix this issue before someone gets into an accident . I went to honda and no issue was found, i am thinking this might be fuel pump recall.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, all of the warning lights illuminated as the vehicle began to shake violently. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic for diagnosis but no cause for the failure was determined. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed the throttle position sensor would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred. The failure and current mileage was 8,700. .... Updated 10-17-13 when the consumer read the invoice, it stated technician checked and found dtc code p2135 tp sensor a/b incorrect voltage correlation. The technician recalibrated the tp sensor.the third time the incident happened, the consumer was about to merge onto the highway, when suddenly the vehicle screeched and started to violently shake all while the dashboard lights lit up.the vehicle immediately decelerated to less than 20 mph in the middle of the highway. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, where the replaced the throttle body assembly. However, the problem happened again for a fourth time, where the technician replaced the computer.

While using the adaptive cruise control (acc) i was traveling at 75 mph.this system is suppose to reduce your speed when it sees another vehicle in front of you and then bring you back up to speed when the obstacle is no longer present.i was on a 4 lane limited access highway (2 lanes each direction).i was in the left lane. There were no cars in front of me but there was an 18 wheel truck about 150 feet in front of me in the right lane.we were approaching a left curve and on a slight incline to the curve.as we entered the curve the acc sonar detector saw the 18 wheeler in the other lane and disengaged the acc and applied the brakes, without warning.this brought my speed down quickly from 75.this is the second time this occurred in similar circumstances.the real danger here is that there was no reason for the car to brake; the sonar saw an obstacle in a different lane; had another vehicle been following me the surely would have been a crash.i am a former crash investigator.as such, i can tell you this situation will be problematic.fortunately, the car gives you the option of using the acc or traditional cruise control - i have disabled the acc for safety concerns.
I was in a parking lot trying to park my car in a spot on the right side.as i pressed the accelerator at a normal pressure, the car just started accelerating and did not stop.i first slightly hit a car which had just pulled out of a parking spot.i tried to use the brakes multiple times and tried to shift gears to make anything happen which could help stop the car.it was out of control and in order to avoid a cliff, i veered to the right after passing about 30 parked cars and hit an embankment with a tree on it.my car crashed into a parked lexus suv which then was lifted and moved to the right and hit another parked car.the air bags came out and the car stopped.my wife and i and other people could have died if there were any pedestrians in the parking lot.we both have many life threatening injuries and cannot drive due to those for a long time.in addition we are now quite frightened.the car was completely out of control and i could not stop it.
I had pulled into a parking stop and stopped.i was about to reverse to park straight when my car shot forward.the brakes were not working and the car accelerated forward until it was stopped by a brick column.i was in a parking lot in front of a retail strip center.
I was pulling away from a stop sign and had accelerated to about 15 mph. All of a sudden the car slowed down and stopped. I stepped on the accelerator and the car didn't move and the engine shut down. At the same time all the dash warning lights came on, including check engine, the big exclamation mark, anti-skid control, and the electric steering wheel warning light. I put the car in park and was able to restart the engine. At this time i noticed all the warning lights were still on, including the fcw light in the center of the speedometerwith the message fcw failure. When the car was checked at the honda dealership they could find no codes related to the above issues.they did find code dtc p2176 set for throttle actuator control not learned stored in history.

The forward collision warning system on this vehicle has not worked properly since it was purchased new from darlings honda in bangor maine on 6/14/13. It has been returned to the dealer at least three times for calibration and adjustments to no avail. I have knowledge of at least 2 other vehicles which are the same. I have also contacted american honda and have been advised to return it to the dealer. (which as stated has been done)the dealer says that american honda has furnished no information to them as to how to resolve this matter. The dealer agrees that this system in not working properly and is awaiting information.the forward collision warning system is listed by honda as a safety feature.it simply does not work and has no value as a safety feature.

While driving on the highway, i had the cruise control activated at approximately 70mph. My vehicle has adaptive cruise control and on two separate occasions within one day, there was no one in front of me but the car started braking hard. Fortunately, no one was behind me or they probably would have rear-ended me as it took me a few seconds to cancel the cruise control since it caught me by surprise. In at least one of the instances, there was a large tractor-trailer to the right of me so i'm not sure if it perceived it's shadow as being a vehicle. I bought this vehicle new in 2013 and this was the first time that the adaptive cruise control caused the vehicle to brake when no one was actually in front of me.
2013 honda accord sedan, v6, touring modeli 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).
2013 honda accord.consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden acceleration.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.
Adaptive cruise control applied hard braking while vehicle traveling at 70 mph with no vehicle in front of the reported malfunctioning vehicle.braking was severe enough to propel occupants against seat belts and caused the vehicle to veer to the left with the potential to cause a rear end collission
While driving alone into a marked space in a public parking lot, my foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator. The vehicle then accelerated into the concrete base of a light pole. Immediately, the vehicle bumper crumpled, the left side of the hood crumpled, and the passenger side air bag activated.there was no one except myself in the vehicle and the driver side airbag did not activate. At this date, november 10, i have no idea how much damage was done to the vehicle.
While turning right to park in a residential townhouse parking space, the car accelerated suddenly and hit a tree which was very close but at the top of a slanting hill.it felt like the car was slipping on ice but there was no ice.a person outside of the car heard a strange noise.it felt like there was no ability to control the car.i tried to back up, i felt the same slipping so i stopped and left the car.the same person heard the noise again when i was backing up.i am an experienced driver with a clean driving record for over 20 years and have never experienced this.it was sunday afternoon and there were no weather related issues.this was the 3rd stop of the day over a 1-2 hour period. This is a quiet street so there were no traffic issues. The car was leaking oil so it was towed to the body shop.
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."itsimply "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).

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.
On fri sept 29th, 2017 i had an sua (sudden unintended acceleration) in my 2013 honda accord that devastated part of an office building and wrecked my car. I was in a parking lot and backed up, hit a 3 foot high concrete bollard, was annoyed, put the car in drive, felt an odd lurch as though the bumper was stuck on something although it was not. I put my foot on the accelerator and at that moment the car rapidly accelerated to what felt like 30 or 40 miles an hour. I tried to brake but it felt as though there was no pressure under my foot. I gripped the steering wheel in terror and steered the car away from other parked cars and into a concrete wheelchair ramp with rails and an office building. The air bag went off. The concrete ramp and office building stopped the car in its tracks. I put it in park and got out. I'm doing ok but mostly very very grateful i didn't hurt or kill anyone. Minor airbag burn on my arm and a contusion to my knee. I feel the airbag only came out a little and hit my left arm, not the rest of my body. But i could be wrong about that. I'm glad because as a physical therapist i've seen some nasty air bag injuries. Also i did not have my seat belt on because i often put it on as i leave a parking lot. Not a good idea, but also no nasty seat belt injury. Just stiff arms, painful left knee and neck, a few days later.i realize everyone is going to say i had the foot on the accelerator but i was at a dead stop when i put the car in drive to accelerate and seriously, after almost 40 years of driving, i have never felt anything like this terror and loss of control. The policeman who came to the scene would testify to the fact that i was completely sane and sober at the time.today, we heard the car will be appraised as totaled. I have driven and loved my hondas since 1991 but no more, and i would hate to think this car would be fixed and resold.

My mother owns a 2013 honda accord lx and she was put into a very dangerous position today and honda is lucky that no one was killed or seriously injured!! she was pulling into a parking stall at her workplace, her foot was on the brake and she was creeping into the stall as per normal. The car then suddenly accelerated onto a bunch of bushes and the side walk before she was able to completely stop the vehicle.this is a well documented problem online with hundreds of stories sharing the exact same thing (please see link http://www.carproblemzoo.com/honda/accord/car-accelerates-on-its-own-problems.php). Honda needs to address this problem and take complete responsibility and fix it asap! they completely side-stepped my direct line of questioning and are hiding something. I am filing a formal police report with local houston pd. This needs to be addressed or the nhtsa and honda will have a law suit on their hands.
Vehicle was parked. Upon pressing brake to shift to "drive" the vehicle jolted multiple times then accelerated forward. The vehicle collided with another vehicle directly in front injuring a person who was between both vehicles at the time.
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!

I had been experiencing stuttering with my vehicle while accelerating.brand new vehicle and issues began at approximately 500 miles.took it into the dealership and the service tech acknowledged the issue but claimed they ran full diagnostics and assured me that the vehicle was in perfect condition. Two weeks later, while driving the vehicle at approximately 20 mph, all of the warning lights came on and when applying pressure to the gas pedal, the car would not accelerate.had to have the vehicle towed and direct injection system replaced.
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 damageto my vehicle , shrubs,neighbor'spatio and my balcony.this was a terrifying event.investigations by insurance co and mechanic arepending at this time.
Shortly after purchase, i noticed that sometimes when turning a corner and then trying to accelerate, the engine falters as though it is going to stall, but it doesn't.the car now has about 2500 miles on it and this has happened dozens of times, but not always, when turning a corner.it doesn't matter whether or not the eco system is engaged or the a/c is on or off.i spoke to a service rep at my honda dealer who said other owners have reported the same issue, but that it is just a characteristic of the vehicle and that there is no fix for it.i think this has the potential to cause an accident if i can't accelerate ahead of on coming vehicles or the car stalls.
I recently had a very serious issue with my 2013 honda accord regarding unintended acceleration.while pulling into a parking spot at a garden nursery i applied the brakes but they did not respond in anyway, the engine then revved up making a loud noise, the car lunged forward over several railroad tie barriers, bushes, hit a truck that was parked in the lot and came to rest in a mulch pile.luckily the truck and mulch stopped the car and i was able to put it into park and turn it off.there is considerable amount of damage to the side of my car and the property of the nursery. This happened on may 8, 2014 at 5:00 pm.it was a gravel parking lot, dry sunny day. This honda was purchased new in 2013 and is a 4cyl with cvt transmission and has approximately 13,000 miles.the car had to be towed to the dealership where it sits now waiting for a honda representative to investigate this issue.it was a blessing that no one was standing in front of my car.much of my decision to purchase a honda was because of reliability and safety; however, i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.this is my first honda and i am thoroughly disappointed and alarmed after this incident.
When the car first starts up, and you shift it into drive, the car lurches forward rather rapidly. It is especially bad when you go from reverse to drive
Ongoing issue.sometimes when i start my car in the morning, or when leaving the office in the evening, and put it in reverse and give it gas the engine revs, rpms go up, but the car won't go.i will roll down my driveway (it's on an incline), put the car in drive and still have the issue.then, without warning, the car will respond to me giving it gas and take off.this is a very dangerous issue!i have almost collided with my neighbor before because of this.took it to the dealership where i was told that they can't duplicate the issue so they can't check it.if the car won't go, how can i take it to them while i am experiencing the issue?
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the accelerator pedal became stuck and the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact was able to stop the failure by pulling on the accelerator pedal by hand. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. While driving approximately 55 mph with the cruise control activated, the cruise control would not deactivate and the vehicle would not slow down or stop when the brakes were applied. The vehicle proceeded through a red light and crashed into two other vehicles. A police report was filed and there were no injuries reported. Prior to activating the cruise control, the brakes operated normally. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 15,000.
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.
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
The driver wiper does not clear the water on the way down. It pulls water back into view of the driver which makes it appear like a streak. During a moderate and heavier rain it affects visibility making it difficult to see the left side of the lane (essentially like not having a wiper on drawing the draw back to the right - it clears as the relative wind breaks up the water. This issue could cause an accident.
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*ljconsumer 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 driver's side mirror is distorted causing the cars to appear further away than they actually are.there is a horizontal line that contributes to the distortion.i have been having a difficult time with this since i purchased the vehicle.it also makes me dizzy/have double vision as i look into the mirror after a few seconds.this distortion caused me to get into an accident where i was changing lanes thinking the vehicle in the lane left to me was further behind me.both vehicles had extensive damage and the drivers injuries.on several other occasions i have vehicles beeped at me when i am changing lanes because they are closer than they appear in my mirror.i took the car back to honda for the repairs and the employee was aware of the distortion the mirror causes.in fact, on the way to the dealership i almost had another crash, something i told the honda representative.as i think back of when i test drove the vehicle before purchase, the salesperson took me on a road where there were no other vehicles passing by us so that i could realize the distortion.i contacted honda's main customer service number and have been told that honda designed their mirror that way so that the driver has a larger view of the vehicles in their blind spot.this design is flawed and causes a dangerous distortion making the vehicles appear further away and making the driver think that they have time to change lanes.
The driver wiper does not clear the water after hitting it's left stop. It actually pulls water back into view of the driver. During a moderate and heavier rain it affects visibility making it difficult to see the left side of the lane (essentially like not having a wiper on drawing the draw back to the right - it clears as the relative wind breaks up the water). (picture/video available during a light/drizzle rain). This happens at 50+ mph.
The driver side sun visor falls down blocking the view and distracting the driver.this is obviously a wide spread problem asthere are a number of videos on you tube claiming to show how to repair it.hondashould have to replace these visors when they malfunction. Nhtsa is derelict if it doesnotaddress this problem! this problem happens without warning or any action on the part of the driver.
The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The contact stated that while parked, the windshield wipers smeared in the line of vision on the driver side of the windshield. The contact stated that when it rained, the windshield wiper would put the water back into the line of vision on the driver side windshield affecting the contact's visibility.

There seems to be some sort of design flaw in the windshield. In moderate to heavy rain the drivers side wiper pulls water back onto the center of the windshield on the return swipe. I find it to be extremely hazardous as i have to crouch down and look through the bottom third of my windshield.

Whenever the seat was elevated, it would fall out of position, which made it difficult for the contact to drive. In addition, the front driver's side window failed to close completely. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified about the failures and opened case number: 08428126. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.

When it rains moderate to heavy the windshield wiper design causes the water to be pulled back on the windshield causing poorvisibility. This is a safety hazard. And should be addressed. Visibility is reduced greatly and is poor at best.
In an event of heavy downpour i noticed when using my honda stock wiper blades rainwater is pushed into the view of the driver, and for a moment collects in my view. When the storm was occurring i had the wipers on full speed so my view was obstructed many times to where i had to try and ignore the puddle of water in the left of the windshield.i have since purchased new wipers out of my own pocket, but that did not correct the issue. I believe it is the shape of the honda accords windshield. This is a small but important issue honda needs to correct for the 2014-2015 honda accord vehicles.
Hi.i just noticed during heavy rain , my windshield wipers pulling the water back on the windshield at 55mpg or above causing visibility issues. This is a brand new car and brand new wipers, so i think there is something going on. This is a big issue since my visibility during heavy/moderate rain is impacted. Thanks

The drivers side mirror is a danger. The outer 1/4 of the mirror is supposed to expose a blind spot, it does not. It is like looking in a fun house mirror distorting on coming vehicles. It is worse in the rain and at night with other vehicle headlights adding to the problem. I see accidents happening in the future. I called the honda dealer and asked to get a plain mirror put in. I was told they would order it and in a week i brought the car in for the replacement. After waiting 1/2 hour the service man came and told me the mirror sent was the same glass and there was no other mirror offered by honda. The service man got in my car to better understand the problem. He totally agreed that the mirror was a problem and a danger and did not know why honda would use such a mirror.i called honda of america to relay the above. I got what only could be called a "shrug of the shoulders".honda does not care.i think other will soon complain. Updated 07/19/2013
The visor on the driver side suddenly popped and now it keeps falling, impairing visibility. This appears to be an issue with other honda's and if that's the case, you need to investigate this and put a recall on it because not only is it annoying, but it is a hazard that most definitely impairs driving. Please look into this!!!
Over time, driver's and passenger's sun visors no longer fold up flush with ceiling.they instead sag; partially blocking driver's view.this is due to a faulty hinge system that, with repeated use, becomes detached from the visor.
I was driving my honda accord 2013 ex-l v6 on interstate 405 in washington state between bellevue and kirkland when i heard a large explosion over my head. Glass immediately fell on me and all over my car. I looked up and saw that my sunroof had broken into many pieces. The brunt of the glass fell on the passenger seat so i was lucky that no one was riding with me, but i still had a few cuts on my arm from the glass falling on me. Of course, in shock from the explosion, i swerved out of panic to the side of the road, which could have caused another accident if someone was on the right of me. Honda denies that the sunroof exploded and that a rock must have hit the sunroof, but i have seen countless first hand accounts on the internet detailing this same experience on multiple honda vehicles. Honda will not take ownership and i could have been seriously hurt or impaled from the glass. Honda should be held accountable. The sunroof glass is not up to par and there was no rock contained within my vehicle and i did not hear a loud thud when the explosion occurred.

I went to pull my visor down and i heard a loud crack noise from the visor.the visor will not stay up anymore, just hangs about 2-3" from the ceiling of the car.went to the dealer and they told me it's not covered under warranty even if it's only a year old.

Sun visor falling in front of my face. Will not stayup at all now.
Issue concerns the drivers side, side view mirror which consists of a regular mirror on 3/4 of the surface which is combined with a convex mirror covering the outside 1/4 of the mirror. As cars approach from the rear left and move into view of the mirror, it oftentimes (depending upon the angle of sight) seems as if the other vehicle is moving into my lane. My reaction is to move away which could pose a danger to someone on my right.additionally, because of the angle of sight, and the distortion of the view, it is difficult to tell exactly how far back the other vehicle is and therefore it makes it difficult to determine if it is safe to move into the next left lane.finally, looking into the mirror, because of the distortion, makes me momentarily dizzy.this mirror configuration is a potential danger.others i have spoken with ( 7 drivers) have agreed with my assessmenthonda offers no alternative mirror and apparently there is no after market mirror to use in place of the standard equipment.

The driver wiper does not clear the water after hitting it's left stop. It pulls water back into view of the driver. During a moderate and heavier rain it affects visibility making it difficult to see the left side of the lane (essentially like not having a wiper on drawing the draw back to the right - it clears as the relative wind breaks up the water. This is very disturbing as it creates a visibility issue.
Pick this vehicle up from the dealer got one exit down on the highway and turned around because even holding the steel will perfectly straight with both hands on the wheel the car just drifts from side to side in the lane and is extremely difficult to keep control of while at highway speeds, i brought the vehicle back to the dealer who said that they put it back on the alignment machine and that there was nothing wrong with the alignment, i also am having issues with the rear defroster not working properly. I also pointed out a visual defect in the paint on the hood of the car which the dealer said i'll will call you back in a week or two and set up an appointment and will have to have the hood repainted i have yet five months later yet to hear back from this dealer ship as to when the going to actually repaint the hood on the vehicle.
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.
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 salesmanagreed that they don't care for the mirror and could cause a accident .vehicles are 2013 honda accord sport .
The 2013 honda accord lx driver's side mirror has an outer segment designed to provide awider view of the road to correct for blind spots. However, the design is self-defeating. The outersegment shows more area, but, to accomplish this, it compacts the field of view causing aconfusing distortion. Additionally, the outer segment may appear out of focus to drivers wearingeye glasses. This issue was reported today by phone to honda customer service and a statement was taken by arepresentative.a more appropriate design for the driver''s mirror would incorporate a seamless, gradual convexcurve at the left side, producing an uninterrupted panoramic effect.a driver's side mirror that causes severe distortion and confusion poses a serious safety hazard.even a momentary confusion at highway speeds may result in an accident and injury.
The driver's side mirror is distorted causing the cars to appear further away than they actually are.there is a horizontal line that contributes to the distortion.i have been having a difficult time with this since i purchased the vehicle.it also makes me dizzy/have double vision as i look into the mirror after a few seconds.this distortion caused me to get into an accident where i was changing lanes thinking the vehicle in the lane left to me was further behind me.both vehicles had extensive damage and the drivers injuries.on several other occasions i have vehicles beeped at me when i am changing lanes because they are closer than they appear in my mirror.i took the car back to honda for the repairs and the employee was aware of the distortion the mirror causes.in fact, on the way to the dealership i almost had another crash, something i told the honda representative.as i think back of when i test drove the vehicle before purchase, the salesperson took me on a road where there were no other vehicles passing by us so that i could realize the distortion.i contacted honda's main customer service number and have been told that honda designed their mirror that way so that the driver has a larger view of the vehicles in their blind spot.this design is flawed and causes a dangerous distortion making the vehicles appear further away and making the driver think that they have time to change lanes.

I was driving down the highway at about 11 pm and the sunroof glass just exploded.nothing hit the car and luckily the visor was closed or i would have crashed.this is a hazard and has happened in other honda accords.the dealer offered no recourse.
Went for lunch, and parked my car on the street. After finishing lunch, about half an hour later, got into the car and proceeded to start it. Everything worked, but the car immediately shut off (radio and ac would stay on however). Tried again, but the same thing happened. Followed by a check engine light warning, and tire pressure warning. Took key out of ignition, waited a minute, before trying again. This time, turned off radio and ac. Car immediately shut off still. Tried 2-3 more times, and car finally started, all with a total of 4 warning lights. Check engine, tire pressure, power steering, and another one i cannot recall. Took it the dealer immediately, and waited 2-4hrs for them to tell me, the throttle body needs replacing. They advised it wouldn't be safe for me to drive the car home, so they gave me a free rental until it can be fixed.
In two incident that steering wheel stop working: last week while the car was parked and tried to drive it and today (oct 7, 2014) while i was driving between 35-40 mph the steering wheel was not working and i had to stop and switch the engine off and after 2 minutes start the car and it was fine.

Tpms light illuminates even though all tires have the correct pressure. Two visits to the dealer have not resovled the issue.
Driving on a busy s.e. Street in washington dc, driving about 20 to 30 mph., heard a noise that sounded like a tire blowing out or some other type of noise emanating from underneath the car. I tried to press the brake, but instead the car accelerated and would not stop. It sped up at least another 15 to 20 more mph, and again, would not stop. There were vehicles in the back, so i could not use the emergency brake or shut the car off. There were also vehicles on the side and in front of my vehicle. I had to make a decision on how to slow the car down without hitting any pedestrians or any other vehicles. Decided to try and stop the car by hitting something stationary and ran into a set of steps that belonged to an office building. Airbags deployed and two passersby stopped to assist me and my passenger out of the car. We were both transported by ambulance to a hospital with substantial injuries to the chest, rib, neck and back for myself and the passenger.
I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord, ex-l,.my honda has 42k miles.at about 25k miles my accord started to make a very obvious and disturbing droning/humming noise at speeds above 40 mph.the noise became progressively louder as time went by.i brought the car to my local honda dealer 2 times and asked them to fix the problem, to no avail.after having new tires installed at 42k miles, and the droning noise was still occurring, i brought the car to my local honda dealer a third time and they diagnosed the noise problem as coming from a defective front right wheel bearing and a defective rear left wheel bearing.both wheel bearings were replaced on july 27, 2016 and the droning noise above 40 mph is gone.replacing the wheel bearings fixed the problem! the service advisor at the dealer was not able to explain why the wheel bearings failed, and he stated that the technicians at the dealership did not know why/how the bearings failed either.i contacted honda america hq on august 1, 800-999-1009, and was told that honda america would not disclose the details of the bearing failures.they also declined my request to authorize the replacement of the remaining 2 wheel bearings.honda america established a case number for my issue, case # 04884545.due to the lack of transparency from honda america as to the cause/resolution of the wheel bearing failures, i am concerned that the underlying bearing or wheel structure problem has not been corrected, and that my 2013 honda accord will be subjected to future wheel bearing failures.
This is to inform you i made an appointment for 2/20/2021 with my local honda dealership one week prior based on the recall letter received from your office.i was was physically there, i was told by one of the advisorthat they ran out of parts.no future appointment were made by the dealership. Not sure what is means but this was written under comments :da212407, from the "complimentary multi point inspection" form. Personal arrangements were made to leave my car based on my convenience; the road conditions were very icy and treacherous to get there; my ride back home was waiting in the parking lot. After going through the process of checking in my car and leaving the dealership, then i received a phone call from one of the employees (yvonne)they could not accommodate me.in addition, i called your vehicle safety hotline yesterday 2//02/20/2021 to report this but your office was closed.i am very disappointed in the customer service i experienced.thank you for your anticipated cooperation with this matter.
05/25/14 while backing the vehicle out of my drive way i noticed the a thumping sound and a jerking from the vehicle which caused great alarm from me. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. When i took the vehicle in the kept it for about a day and told me that they could not find anything wrong with it and that the inspector said that the same thing was happening to a new vehicle, that the noise and jerking was just the way it was. They called it a hard shift. My car is not a daily driven vehicle being i have two other cars that i primarily use. At the time of the incident my car had aprox. 303 miles on it. Now several months later on 01/01/15 when i went to start my vehicle i noticed the same problem, and being that i had already taken it once to the dealer and them telling me nothing was wrong with it, i had no second thought of taking it out on the road. I proceeded to drive down my residential street and realized i had forgot something at home. So on the residential intersection i started to make a u turn when all of a sudden steering cut out on me in the middle of my turn. I narrowly missed oncoming traffic and stopped right before i hit the curb and a parked car. When i did stop and got my composure back i looked down and there was a steering wheel light on and a buzzing noise. All this while going no more then 6 miles and hour. At this current moment my car is less then 2 years old and has less then 400 miles on it and i cannot believe that this would happen to such a new car with so little miles on it. Following this incident i googled my car to see if i was the only one having this problem and lord behold i was not. There are numerous accounts of this happening to other people some resulting in serious accidents. But most of the cars in those incidents that i could see had about 20k to 30k miles on them and mine does not even have 1k on it yet.
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.
I was on my way to work when after about 10 minutes i began to hear a strange sound coming from under the car.as it became louder, i detected it was coming from the passenger side rear wheel.when i pulled onto the highway and increased my speed the noise became slightly louder so i slowed down to 50 mph.suddenly the next thing i knew the car began experiencing drag and slowed so i pulled over on the shoulder and realized the tire had blown out.the tread on the tire is still very good though.i'm very concerned about the other three (3) tires and whether or not i should replace them, as well.unfortunately, i'm working in korea with the us military and had my car shipped over here.when i called honda in the states about the matter (tire warranty = 6 years) they stated while living abroad they do not honor the warranty until i return.
Driver's side rear wheel bearing hub assemply failed at 66,000 miles on the odometer.this was the original honda part when i bought the car new.whirring noise was increasingly worse when i was driving, prompting me to have it evaluated by my independent mechanic where he showed me the noise made when the one wheel was turned with the car on the rack.part was replaced.the other rear bearing assembly seems ok so far.repair bill was $430.mechanics tell me this is very unusual for a wheel bearing to fail with so little miles on the car.
As i was making a left turn all the dashboard lights turned on. I took it to autozoneand they told me there is something wrong with rear tire on the passanger side

Thealuminum rims for breaking do to salt corrosion two of the four rims broke cost to replace each rim 435 if the rims aren't apart of safety and abs and tps isn't aquality components didn't know car is safe on the road
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.
The tpms light came on a few hundred miles before a tire blew out.i considered the tear in the side-wall of the tire before the blow to be the likely cause of the tpms light on (losing pressure).after a brand new set of four (4) tires, no matter how many times i try to re-calibrate the tpms, or check the tire pressure myself, or take the car to the tire shop to check the pressures, the light remains on no matter what.this is an on0going issue that continues daily, despite driving conditions.
