Summary

I believe that my vehicle, a 2013 Honda Accord Sport CVT, should be included in this recent safety recall in regards to CV Axles that are at risk of excess rust/corrosion which left untreated could lead to a crash or injury. Safety recall in question (Service bulletin 20-125) - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCRIT-20V769-5506.pdf Honda of America refuses to look at my case because my VIN is not a part of the original recall. My local Honda dealership did let me know that this recall was issued only for vehicles sold in the Midwest because they are more susceptible to rust and corrosion. I originally purchased the vehicle in Florida (I'm the original owner) in October of 2012. I moved to Iowa in 2015 and am now experiencing the same problems as the safety recall in question. I've had my vehicle inspected by my local Honda dealership in Des Moines IA and they have confirmed that I'm showing the same symptoms as the recall that require a complete CV axle replacement. Because my VIN number was not included in this recall, they are unable to perform any repairs. I've called Honda of America and because of my VIN, they also refuse to even look at my case even though I now live in an area that uses a high volume of salt on the roads during the wintertime. I believe that I am not the only one and others could be at risk if they also moved to an area with a high volume of salt on the roads. I’m concerned about driving my vehicle anywhere because I know that my CV axles are at risk of breaking under load.

Summary

Power steering failure accompanied by steering warning light. Vehicle difficult to steer and steering systems seems to be trying to assist in the opposite direction trying to steer. No accidents or damage at this time but seems to pose a dangerous situation. Dealer did not refuse to diagnose but discouraged leaving vehicle for diagnosis until failure was continuous as opposed to the current intermittent failure.

Summary

While driving, the steering is intermittently difficult to control and/or lacking resistance. There have been multiple occasions when it takes a great deal of effort (physically) to control the vehicle--almost as if there is a loss of power steering. Conversely, the steering wheel almost spins freely--requiring extra motion to steer the car and making it difficult to control. Of most concern is that the malfunctions occur without warning—resulting in the car drifting toward the adjacent lane on several occasions. Fortunately, I was able to make the correction in time--preventing the car from crossing into the next lane and possibly causing a collision. The local dealer checked the steering on May 20, 2021. At that time, the steering wheel was returning to the home position on its own—while I was driving the car and attempting to turn. The dealer did a diagnostic, performed a sensor re-learn and several other procedures. After exhausting all options, they contacted the Tech Line to inform them that the car was still difficult to turn during the road test. The Tech Line responded that this can be caused by hitting the curb and other driver-related mishaps. Although the adjustments made at the dealership improved the condition, it was clear that the manufacturer didn't provide the support required to resolve the problem. The steering worsened last week to the extent where I felt unsafe driving the vehicle. I took it to a different repair shop, it was inspected, and they recommended that it not be driven until repaired. After doing some research, it was clear that this is an on-going problem that has yet to be corrected by Honda. Currently, the car is parked and I have no transportation.

Summary

The ABS Module has failed on this car. Upon a lot of research, I have found that a lot of people are stating they have had this same issue with their honda accords within a few years before and after. This is a $1700 fix from Honda that most people are not going to be able to afford and a lot of people are having problems with..... the part is also on a nationwide backorder which to me seems like they have surely had to replace a lot of them..... I believe that this should be investigated for a recall. I spoke with someone at Honda and they also agreed that this should be looked at for a recall. This could be very dangerous to have failing ABS systems on vehicles. Research on forums where people discuss this will show that this is a common problem and a recall should be considered.

Summary

Vehicle suddenly turned left on its own, also partial lost of power steering. Even with vehicle parked, it turned totally to the left. There were no dash warning lights indicating a problem I took it to Dean Honda and it was still doing this when I arrived there. The technician said he could not duplicate the problem, and that no code came up. They stated Honda would not pay for the repair unless error code came up. They expected me to simply take the car and I stated that I would not as it was unsafe to drive. They agreed to keep it and try to duplicate the problem which after about a week they did, but still no code appeared. I contacted Honda headquarters who eventually agreed to replace the steering box "as a courtesy" but if it happened again , they would not pay for the repair. While I am happy that they repaired it, I feel that these vehicles should be recalled and Honda is using the "no code" as an excuse to refuse paying for these repairs and this is an ongoing, dangerous defect. This Accord has only 24,000 miles and is in excellent condition and I am the original owner.

Summary

I placed my car in revers and it began to spin uncontrollably to the left. I was able to, with difficulty, pull it back but it continued to spin once I backed up. Next day when I turned right, the steering wheel suddenly pulled me to the right. It is hard to steer and I was told it is steering Rack failure. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. It is putting my safety and others at risk as I do not know when it will pull to the side. Honda of Concord was able to reproduce the problem and co formed the issue. It was only taken to the dealer which is Honda of Concord. No accident has happened yet. There was no warning. It just happened the evening of 10/7/2021 and again 10/8/2021. On the way to Honda dealership, it pulled when I turned on the way.

Summary

While driving under ideal conditions my steering suddenly stopped functioning. I was on Hwy. 190 in Covington, LA which is a heavy traffic area. It was extremely unsettling and frightening. This ordeal, so far, has cost me: Towing charge $85.00, rental car $600.00, estimate on parts, labor and tax to replace the "Electrical Power Steering Control Unit" which Royal Honda mechanic says "FAILED", is $1,170.00. This is the second recall issue I have had with this vehicle. The first was in February, 2021 when the "Starter" failed at my odometer reading of 75,235 miles. It had to be replaced at total cost of over $500.00. WHAT'S NEXT Next!!!!!

Summary

The vehicle has an issue with the charging system which has persisted for at least 1year. The vehicle is unsafe to drive because once the battery has low charge, power steering fails and ultimately the car dies/cuts off (which has happened to me while on a public road at least twice). The vehicle has been checked out by my mechanic numerous times but the issue has never been remedied. The alternator (replaced twice), electronic load detector, battery sensor and battery sensor connector have all been replaced. Wiring has also been inspected but there were no problems to report. A check charge system warning stays on, and sometimes the battery light illuminates. I have seen countless complaints about the same issue regarding the 9th generation honda accord online but the dealer does not acknowledge the issue exists in many of these particular model.

Summary

Failure of keyless remote system - Honda Service Bulletin 13-038 System will not respond to keyless remotes and eventually will disable car ignition system. This is a safety for several reasons: 1. The doors can only be opened using the key which is embedded in the keyfob. In case of emergency or for people with disabilities, this is a huge problem. 2. The trunk cannot be accessed unless the door is opened and the trunk released manually inside. There is no key lock to access the trunk from outside the vehicle. 3. The panic button will not function on the keyfob. 4. The car will not start unless the keyfob is placed next to the driver's dash. Eventually, the car will not start at all and the occupants will be stranded. This is a huge issue. The vehicle has been inspected by a Honda dealer and a ticket opened with Honda. Honda now states that they will not help with repairs as the vehicle is past warranty.

Summary

All of a sudden, without any warning, one day, I turned on the engine of my 2013 Honda Accord and the steering wheel went all the way to the left. I hadn’t even touched it and when I tried to turn it to the right, the steering wheel kept pulling to the left. I had to go to work so I drove like that since my work is not far but I had to keep pulling the steering wheel to the right firmly with both hands, otherwise it would go to the left on its own making it hard to pull back to the right (hard to control). It did it when I was driving and also when I was stopped. It did it again on my way home and a couple of days after that but then it went away all of a sudden just like it came. It now comes and goes randomly but the steering wheel feels stiff either way, not soft like before. The warning lamp didn’t come on so my car apparently looks ok. I had it checked by a mechanic who told me that the car seems fine. He didn’t see anything abnormal when he checked it. I’ve looked it up online and some people have reported the same issues but have been ignored since the lamp light doesn’t come on so it’s like the problem doesn’t even exist. I do feel it’s a safety issue when I’m driving and all of a sudden my car pulls to the left. This needs to be addressed since I’m not the only one with the issue but maybe people don’t know where to report it.

Summary

This morning as I pulled out of my parking spot into my driveway, I turned to the left. As I released pressure on the steering wheel to return to driving straight ahead, the steering cycled hard to the right. I thought perhaps loose stone had caused the unusual response, but thought better, slowed the vehicle (under 5 mph), and released the steering wheel. The vehicle pulled hard to the right. I got out and checked for a flat and checked to make sure the wheel hadn't somehow come loose. I decided that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and parked it. While parked, I cycled the steering all the way to the left. When I started to turned the wheel back to the right I could feel pressure in the steering wheel attempting to turn the wheel right. I released the wheel and the steering cycled completely to the right without my assistance. The car was parked on a dry, level surface at the time.

Summary

The head restraints cause back pain and injury because they are so far forward. When we confronted Honda about these, they said they are required by you to make them miserable and uncomfortable. Are there any car manufacturers that have found a way around this regulation? Maybe cars manufactured before the regulation took effect? Can you reconsider that maybe this regulation is written to cause more injury than assistance and rescind it or revise it to allow manufacturers to fix YOUR problem?

Summary

In early September 2021, my wife was driving our 2013 Honda Accord Sport 2.4L when she stated the steering was pulling itself to the left. It startled her as she was driving in traffic when it suddenly pulled left into another lane. She was able to keep control of the car and brought it straight home. I verified that when my car ignition was turned on, the steering wheel will turn to the left by itself... spinning several times counterclockwise. I also confirmed that there are no EPS error codes or warning lamps shown which seems strange there are no OBD codes. We called the local Honda dealer and they stated there is an issue with the EPS and we could bring in our vehicle for repair. I took my vehicle to the local Honda dealership for the repair of this EPS defect which they originally stated would be fixed free of charge. The dealership confirmed the defect condition on my vehicle and performed the Honda prescribed repair of reprogramming the EPS ECU. However, this did not fix the concern on my vehicle but only lessened the EPS steering force. The dealership contacted Honda directly to request a full replacement of the EPS rack on my vehicle. After about a week of delay, Honda responded and stated that since my vehicle is more than 5 years old, they are declining to replace the steering rack at their cost. They have quoted to me a repair cost of $2,900. This is evidently a mfg defect with the EPS rack system and creates an unsafe driving condition due to steering control. This EPS concern needs further investigation and a recall seems necessary as Honda is only following a programming change which does not resolve all concerns as mine still exists on my vehicle. So now when driving my vehicle, you cannot remove your hand from the steering wheel, or it will steer itself continuously left. Again I feel the vehicle steering system is a critical function and Honda should repair at their cost.

The car will intermittently lose power steering all of the sudden and jerk the car to the right. On other occasions the car will automatically steering right at a stand still. It is believed to be either electrical or mechanical but involving the EPS and rack and pinion. The vehicle was inspected by a certified Honda technician. My personal safety and safety of others that have entered my car have been at risk any time I am in this vehicle. On most occasions the EPS light would fail to come on when this occured. It may be on one out of every ten times the issues occured. The code that occurs is a visa system malfunction.

Summary

On 9/3, I filled up my Accord with gas and went to start my car again. Upon starting, I saw my power steering light had come on. I called my local shop to see if I could take it by there Friday morning and they couldn't accommodate due to the busy Labor Day weekend. So I called the Honda Dealer (Right Honda) in North Scottsdale and was able to schedule a visit for 7:30am on 9/4. I drove my car home on 9/3 and by the time I made it home, the power steering had come back but the light was still on. The morning of 9/4 I get in my Accord to take it to Right Honda... the power steering light was not on anymore and the car was steering fine. Right Honda told me they can't do anything for me since the light wasn't on anymore... that weekend, 9/5, my light comes back on while I'm away from town and I have to drive it back home without power steering, which felt kind of dangerous. I scheduled a time to take it in for service on 9/7 at my local service center, not Right Honda. It is now 9/20 and I'm being told the part I need is on a national shortage. We've been waiting for almost two weeks now and I'm curious how/why this part can be allowed to be on national shortage when it's a defect of Honda's? I've seen there's plenty reports (100+) of the electronic power steering failing in 2013-2015 Honda Accords and I'm surprised they have the replacement part on a national shortage. This is disappointing as a loyal Honda customer.

Summary

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!

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

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.

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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 one with less than 100,000 miles.

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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 the left. 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.

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?

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.

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.

THIS IS TO INFORM YOU I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 2/20/2021 WITH MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ONE WEEK PRIOR BASED ON THE RECALL LETTER RECEIVED FROM YOUR OFFICE. I WAS WAS PHYSICALLY THERE, I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE ADVISOR THAT THEY RAN OUT OF PARTS. NO FUTURE APPOINTMENT WERE MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP. NOT SURE WHAT IS MEANS BUT THIS WAS WRITTEN UNDER COMMENTS :DA212407, FROM THE "COMPLIMENTARY MULTI POINT INSPECTION" FORM. PERSONAL ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO LEAVE MY CAR BASED ON MY CONVENIENCE; THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE VERY ICY AND TREACHEROUS TO GET THERE; MY RIDE BACK HOME WAS WAITING IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF CHECKING IN MY CAR AND LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THEN I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES (YVONNE) THEY COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE ME. IN ADDITION, I CALLED YOUR VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE YESTERDAY 2//02/20/2021 TO REPORT THIS BUT YOUR OFFICE WAS CLOSED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I EXPERIENCED.

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.

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.

MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTING BEING VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN TRYING TO STEER TO THE LEFT IT SPINS. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS SO IT IS TERRIFYING TO THINK OF THE POTENTIAL SHOULD I BE UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND RUN OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY SO I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN BOONE, NC. THIS LEAVES ME WITHOUT A CAR TO DRIVE AND NO ACCESS TO ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION IN MY SMALL RURAL MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PULL A DIAGNOSTIC CODE FROM THE COMPUTER. THEY USED A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING TREE AND FOUND IT TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING RACK AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE NEARLY $3K. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER FOR 25 YEARS AND EXPECT BETTER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE SO IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED BY HONDA. I AM AN ELDERLY WIDOW AND NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPAIR THIS CAR AND NEED ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA AND THE NHTSA TO HELP GET THIS RESOLVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND URGENT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER FOR ME AND THE MANY MANY MANY OTHERS FACING THIS SAME FAILURE IN THE 2013 ACCORD. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING.

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.

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

THERE WAS A RELATED RECALL FOR A STEERING SOFTWARE UPDATE AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. IN THIS CASE IT WAS THE EPS STEERING MODULE WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED SO IT WAS NOT COVERED. SINCE THERE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING, I THINK THE EPS MODULE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY BULLETIN SINCE IT IMPACTS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AS THE RECALL.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) IS PROGRESSIVELY FAILING JUST LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED PREVIOUSLY. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 65 TO 75 MILES PER HOUR BUT IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THE STEERING WANTS TO TURN LEFT ON ITS OWN AND IT IS SLUGGISH WHENEVER I MAKE A TURN EITHER DIRECTION. IN FACT I CAN EVEN FEEL THE SLUGGISH STEERING WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED. I'VE BEEN COMMUTING TO WORK IN MY OLD GMC TRUCK WHILE THIS PROBLEM IS BEING LOOKED AT BY A LOCAL GARAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZZARD AND CONSIDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ENCOUNTERED FAILURES WITH THE EPS OVER MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HONDA HASN'T RECALLED IT. MY LOCAL GARAGE SAID IT REQUIRES THE STEERING RACK REPLACED WHICH IS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT LABOR COST AS WELL. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER SINCE 1992 BECAUSE OF THE HISTORICAL QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLES SO IT'S DISAPPOINTING THEY DON'T WANT TO RECALL THIS. I GUESS IT'S TIME TO LOOK AT OTHER BRANDS OF VEHICLES FOR MY NEXT PURCHASE.

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.

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.

Summary

I PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD LAST FALL. IT HAD 28,000 MILES ON IT AT PURCHASE AND HAS 36,700 MILES TODAY. TWO WEEKS AFTER I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRES ROTATED, I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING PULLING LEFT. WHILE TRAVELING AT 50MPH ON A CROWDED CITY HIGHWAY, MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED LEFT AND I COULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THE PROBLEM PRESENTED AT INTERMITTENT TIMES OCCURRING LATER IN A TRIP. I DID AN EXPERIMENT IN A PARKING LOT; ROLLING FORWARD VERY SLOWLY, I LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL SPUN TO THE LEFT AND THE CAR EXECUTED A PERFECT 90-DEGREE LEFT TURN BY ITSELF. THE CAR DID THIS AGAIN TWICE MORE DESPITE TURNING THE ENGINE OFF FOR A PERIOD BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD FIND NO ERROR CODE BUT COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESETTING THE TORQUE SENSOR, IT WAS A BIT BETTER BUT NOT FIXED AS THE CAR STILL WANTS TO TURN LEFT. THE STEERING IS ERRATIC SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO TURN RIGHT AND SOMETIMES THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SENT ME TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR WHO SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO REPLICATED THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODES AND HONDA WILL ONLY REIMBURSE THEM IF THE CAR SHOWS TWO SPECIFIC ERROR CODES. I FOLLOWED THEIR SUGGESTION TO CALL HONDA; [XXX]. THE REGIONAL CASE MANAGER CALLED ME BACK, DID NOT ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PROBLEM BUT RUDELY LAUNCHED INTO A RAPID-FIRE LECTURE ABOUT WHY HONDA WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM IN MY CAR. BOTH MECHANICS WHO LOOKED AT MY CAR STATE IT NEEDS A NEW POWER STEERING RACK AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM A DOCTORAL STUDENT, I CANNOT AFFORD A $2500 CAR REPAIR QUOTED BY BOTH MECHANICS. *JS *JS PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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!

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED SOMETIMES THE PUSH START WOULD STALL OR SOUND LIKE IT WAS FAILING. ALSO MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO MY KEY FOB. ALL OTHER DOORS RESPOND TO IT EXCEPT THE DRIVER DOOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND STILL THE ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE ACTUAL KEY OUT OF THE FOB AND INSERTING IT INTO THE CAR DOOR TO UNLOCK MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. NOW THE AC HAS BEGAN TO STOP AND START. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE FAN MOTOR IS KICKING ON AND OFF. AND MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS NOT SLIDING BACK PROPERLY. IT WILL BEGAN TO GLIDE THEN STOP. THEN I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING AND IT'LL GLIDE BACK A LITTLE AND THEN STOP AGAIN. OVERALL I THINK THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE OR SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH IT. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALL SENT OUT JUNE 29, 2017. AS STATED ON THEIR WEBSITE THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID IS 17V418000 !

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.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE DASH ON THE CAR DISPLAYED A "START STOP" ERROR. THEN, THERE WAS MUCH LESS HORSEPOWER. I AM GUESSING THERE WAS BETWEEN 10 AND 20 HORSE POWER. THE CAR COULD BARELY GO 20 MILES PER HOUR. THEN, THE DASH SAID, STOP THE CAR. YOUR CAR IS OVER HEATING. SO, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND STOPPED THE CAR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL SIDE STREET. WHERE I LIVE, SOME SECTIONS OF FREEWAY ARE 12 AND 16 LANES WIDE. IF I HAD LOST POWER IN THIS SITUATION, I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE WATER PUMP ON MY MODEL CAR WAS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL. AUDI CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN BEFORE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. HOWEVER, THE WATER PUMP ON MY CAR ONLY LASTED FOR 49,000 MILES. I SUSPECT THAT THE RE-DESIGN OF THE WATER PUMP IS STILL NOT ADEQUATE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE WITH OUR WATER PUMP. *TR

I ALSO HAD A FAMILY MECHANIC PUT IT UNDER THE COMPUTER WHICH DIAGNOSED AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ANOTHER ISSUE THE 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON 7/15/19 , I STARTED TO TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKES LOCKED AND I HAD TO VEER ONTO THEIR LAWN ON AN EMBANKMENT, RAN OVER A CEMENT PARKING BLOCK AND THROW IT INTO PARK AND TURN IT OFF IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR FROM HITTING ANYONE! THE CAR WAS TOWED FROM PROSPECT AVE AND BRADY STREET IN MILWAUKEE WI. RUSS DARROW HONDA RAN A SAFETY CHECK AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I THINK THEY SHOULD CHECK THE VSA MODULATOR. ABRA AUTO REPAIR IN GLENDALE HAD IT TOWED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT AND SENT IT TO RUSS DARROW HONDA. CLEARLY, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT!

Summary

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.

Summary

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).

AT TIMES, THE CAR FAILS TO START FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND INDICATES THAT THE STARTER SYSTEM IS NOT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT ALSO INDICATES THAT THE POWER IS STILL ON. EVEN AFTER THE IGNITION IS OFF, THE POWER IS STILL ON. ON JUNE 27, 2019, I HAD TO PAY $773.84 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 51,562 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED BEFORE 50,000 MILES BUT HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY. OVER THE MONTHS, THE PROBLEM GREW WORSE. NOW THE CAR MAY NOT START IN THE EVENING BUT STARTS IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT MORNING. GETTING STRANDED IS A DEFINITE RISK. THE DANVILLE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN VIRGINIA SAID THEY KEEP THE STARTERS IN STOCK BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING A LOT OF THEM. THERE ARE ALSO DISCUSSIONS ON-LINE ABOUT THE PROBLEM - COMMUNITY TALK. THEREFORE, HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE STARTERS FREE OF CHARGE.

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.

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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...

Summary

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.

Summary

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY ONTO A BUSY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE STEERING MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I ATTEMPTED TO STEER THE VEHICLE BUT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING(EPS) WAS COUNTERING THE STEERING EFFORT. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN HOPES TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL WAS WITH THE CAR OFF AND IN NEUTRAL, MEANING I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC, RELYING ONLY ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE SLOPED ROAD TO HELP GUIDE THE VEHICLE SAFELY AWAY FROM TRAFFIC LANES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED THE THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. SERVICE ADVISER LOOKED UP VEHICLE HISTORY AND THE RECALL FOR EPS CONTROLLER SOFTWARE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED 2 YEARS PRIOR. HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM DUE TO KNOWN TORQUE SENSOR FAILURE ISSUES. ADVISER SAID IF, OBD SCAN SHOWS FAULT CODE RELATING TO TORQUE SENSOR FAILURE, HONDA WOULD COVER COMPLETE COST TO REPLACE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM. HOURS LATER, ADVISER CONTACTS ME AND SAYS THE SCAN SHOWS THAT IT WAS NOT THE THE TORQUE SENSOR THAT FAILED, BUT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING COMPUTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST. I ARGUED THAT THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR THE CONSUMER TO PREVENT SUCH AN ISSUE FROM OCCURRING, AND THE FACT THAT A COMPUTER SYSTEM CONTROLLING THE STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE IS AN ALARMING SAFETY ISSUE THAT AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF PAYING FOR SUCH A REPAIR. VEHICLE HAS 83,100 MILES, ORIGINAL OWNER AND ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT SAME DEALER. NEVER HAD PRIOR STEERING ISSUES AND WAS NEVER ADVISED OF ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES. HONDA SYMPATHETICALLY ONLY AGREED TO COVER HALF THE REPAIR COST.

ON 4/12/2019, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT AROUND 24:00 (MIDNIGHT) ON FREEWAY 22 WESTBOUND NEAR THE BLOCK THAT I SUDDENLY REALIZED I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH PLUS. THE STEERING WHEEL ICON LIGHT UP ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS HAPPENED SO FAST AT A CURVE AREA OF THE FREEWAY, I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHT AND SLOWED THE CAR DOWN BY HITTING THE BREAK. THERE WERE AROUND 4 CARS TO MY RIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY REACH THE EXIT LANE TO THE RIGHT DUE TO THE CURVATURE OF THE FREEWAY TURNING LEFT BY GOING STRAIGHT. AS I SLOWED DOWN THE CAR ON THE EXIT LANE, I YANKED THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD TO THE LEFT THEN RIGHT TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO STAY IN THE LANE. AFTER I EXITED THE FREEWAY ON HASTER STREET, I YANKED THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE TURN AND FOUND A SMALL STREET THEN COME TO A STOP. AT THIS TIME, THE STEERING WHEEL ICON STILL ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD. I TURNED OF THE CAR AFTER PUT IT TO PARK THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ICON DISAPPEARED. I GOT CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL BACK. I PROCEEDED TO GARDEN GROVE STREET HEADING WEST TOWARD MY HOME. AT THE FIRST RED LIGHT ON GARDEN GROVE, I STOPPED AND DID NOT STEER THE WHEEL. AGAIN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AGAIN. THE ICON APPEARED AGAIN ON MY DASHBOARD. I AGAIN TURNED OFF AND ON THE CAR AND THE ICON DISAPPEARED AND I HAD MY CONTROL BACK. FROM THERE, I DROVE SLOWLY IN THE RIGHT LANE TO MY HOME. THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. ON 4/13/2019, WHICH IS TODAY, I DROPPED OFF MY CAR AT HONDA WORLD DEALER ON 13600 BEACH BLVD, WESTMINSTER, CA 92683 AND TOLD ONE OF THE REPS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HE DID THE INQUIRY ON MY CAR AND SYSTEM SHOWED THERE WAS A RECALL OF EPS GEARBOX REPLACEMENT AT THIS DEALERSHIP. I HOPE NHTSA WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUS AND HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ABOUT 15 TIMES DUE TO MY CAR NOT STARTING AND HAVING SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ON. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE COMPLETED ALL THE NECESSARY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THUS SAME ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM IS STARTING TO DIMINISH MY QUALITY OF LIFE. I HAVE TO WORK FOR A LIVING AND NOT HAVING A RELIABLE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE OR MISS WORK. HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE RELIABLE VEHICLES BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR ME. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED, MY VEHICLE WAS OFF AND STATIONARY. I WANT TO STRESS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES AND I WISH I HAD STUMBLED ON THIS SITE THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE LOGGED EACH INCIDENT. IT DOES NOT FEEL GOOD TO BE STRANDED WITH A BROKEN VEHICLE.

I 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.

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.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 05/2016 THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURES IN THE SUMMER TIME NOT THE WINTER WHICH TELLS ME IT'S BEING CAUSED BY HEAT. BECAUSE THE AIRBAG IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED ASAP. I HAVE VIDEOS ON MY CELL PHONE CAMERA AS PROOF.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL, THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS RUNNING ABOUT 40 MPH AND AGAIN IT HAPPENED WAS RUNNING AT 50 MPH AND GOING INTO A CURVE AND THE THIRD TIME MY SPEED WAS 55 MPH ALL THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS ON A HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE. IF YOU ARE WHERE YOU CAN PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT AGAIN THE STEERING IS FINE. SEEMS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. PLACES I NEED TO GO IS USUALLY ON THE INTERSTATE AND RUNNING 60 TO 70 MPH IS SCARY NOT KNOW WHEN THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I DID SEE ON THE INTERNET WHERE 2 ACCIDENTS HAS OCCURRED FROM THIS ISSUE AND THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO INJURIES. I HAVE CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND HAD A RECORD THAT I HAD CALLED IN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SO DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THIS IS LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GEAR. I ASKED ABOUT THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE THAT I HAD READ ABOUT AND ALSO REGARDING HOSES THAT WERE GETTING HOT CAUSING THIS. ALL THE DEALERSHIPS KNOW IS IT WILL COST MORE THAN $2000 FOR A NEW STEERING GEAR. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. I KNOW PARTS GO BAD AND IF THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH OTHER VEHICLES MAYBE DUE TO THIS BEING DANGEROUS DRIVING AUTO MAKERS MAY GO BACK TO STEERING FLUID AND DO AWAY WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. PLEASE CHECK ON A RECALL ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES 08/10/2018 AND TWICE ON 08/12/2018. I AM AT THE POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NO MATTER THE SPEED AND ESPECIALLY ON CERTAIN ROADS.

Summary

THE STEERING WHEELS AUTOMATICALLY BECOME STIFFER AND HARD TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT WHILE DRIVING.IT TAKES A LOT OF MUSCLING TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED.MY CAR HAS GOT 84000 MILES ON IT AND REGULARLY SERVICED AND MAINTAINED. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED IT BECAME NORMAL AS USUAL WITH NO REPAIRS. I UNDERSTOOD LATER THAT THERE IS NO POWER STEERING FLUID AND THIS FUNCTION IS ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED! FROM ONLINE, GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATED SEVERAL OF THE HONDA CUSTOMERS OWNING THE SAME CAR MODEL EAR HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN HIGHWAY EXITS AND ENTRANCES WHERE CAR DRIVES IN OVER 50-60 MILES.IT CAN CREATE LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENTS IF NOT CORRECTED. DEALERS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO FIX IT AND MIGHT COST A FUTURE. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO RECALL THIS CAR AND FIX IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ANOTHER EMERGENCY SITUATION, ACCIDENT OR THRETS TO SAFETY AND LIFE.

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.

Summary

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING EPS WARNING LIGHT , COUPLED WITH STEERING WHEEL STIFF RESISTANCE, OCCURRED DURING SEVERAL RANDOM EVENTS OVER THE LAST FOUR DAYS - ONCE THE FIRST DAY 30 MPH ON RURAL ROAD, TWICE THE SECOND AT 50 AND 30 MPH ON HIGHWAY THEN RURAL ROAD, FOUR TIMES YESTERDAY WITHIN THOSE SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS, THEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AT 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTARTING, ONLY TEMPORARILY CLEARED THE ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATELY DRIVING DURING THE EVENTS, AND NOT ALLOWING MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO EVEN CONSIDER HANDLING. TIGHT TURNS WERE NOT POSSIBLE - PERIOD. THE DEALERSHIP, UPON COMPLETING DIAGNOSTICS TODAY, DETERMINED THE STEERING BOX/RACK AND PINION WERE THE SOURCE OF FAILURE. WITH <59,000 MILES, SPOTLESS RECORD OF MAINTENANCE AT THIS ORIGINAL DEALER, AND NEVER ABUSED, THIS TYPE OF EITHER MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE, AS WELL A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. I REVIEWED 158 COMMENTS/CASES ON CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITES, SPECIFIC TO HONDA ACCORD 2013 MODELS WITH SIMILAR EPS/STEERING BOX ISSUES. DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, WHERE A PASSENGER IS PRESENTED A NON-RESPONSIVE STEERING EVENT, WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED BY HONDA MANAGEMENT, NOR ANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES. STATISTICALLY, THIS APPEARS A DESIGN FLAW IS THE APPARENT ISSUE, AND REPLACEMENT-IN-KIND IN MY LOGIC DOESN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT MY EXPENSE. IN MY AREA OF EXPERTISE IN CRUDE REFINING, ANY FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A MECHANICALLY SOUND PIECE OF WELL-MAINTAINED EQUIPMENT. IF A STEERABLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LOST POWER IN OUR FACILITY, COMPANY RESOURCES AND FOCUSED TEAMS, SAFETY AUDITS, AND POSSIBLY OSHA OVERSIGHT WOULD ENSUE. I'LL BE CONTACTING HONDA WITH THE NEWS THAT I CANNOT FURTHER SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCTS DESIGNED WITH EPS. *TR

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.

Summary

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.

MY ACCORD HAS 38769 MILES ON IT, HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BE A HONDA DEALER, AND RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED. SINCE THE BATTERY SENSOR WAS FIXED DECEMBER, 2017 MY PUSH START WILL NOT ALWAYS START MY CAR AND THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT TO SHOW ANYTHING IS WRONG. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE MY CAR. I NOTIFIED HONDA, THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND REFERRED BACK TO DEALER. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL 2013 AND 2014'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. WOULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE? THESE STARTERS ARE DANGEROUS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2013 AND WAS COMING UP A SNOW COVERED DRIVE MY CAR QUIT AND I SLID BACKWARD BECAUSE I COULD NOT RESTART CAR WITHOUT USING THE BRAKE. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA THEN, THEY OPENED A CASE, THEN NOTHING. I TOLD THEM THEN THAT I WAS SLIDING BACKWARD AND COULD HAVE GONE OVER AN EMBANKMENT.. THEY JUST CLOSED THAT CASE WHEN I CALLED ABOUT CURRENT PROBLEMS. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER HONDA.

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.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN TWO HONDA ACCORDS, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD (VIN [XXX]) AND A 2013 HONDA ACCORD VIN [XXX]). BOTH ACCORDS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS AS NEEDING AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS. I FINALLY RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL HONDA RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THIS PAST FRIDAY, 2/23/18. I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL TO FIX THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAG(S). I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED BOTH CARS NEW AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A RECALL "AT SOME FUTURE POINT" FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD, BUT THE SERVICE ADVISOR I SPOKE TO COULD NOT BE MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT. IN DECEMBER, 2017 THERE WERE NO AIRBAG RECALLS FOR EITHER HONDA ACCORD ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I JUST CHECKED AGAIN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AND NOTHING FOR AIRBAGS. THE RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD SPECIFICALLY STATES: "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED." OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS STUFF. I HAVE RECEIVED NO ADVISORIES AND NO SAFETY ADVICE OR PRECAUTIONS FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION / AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING FRONT PASSENGERS OR STEPS TO TAKE TO AVOID INJURY IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IN THE MEANTIME (OR UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS OFFICIALLY ORDERED). IF THESE TAKAKA AIRBAGS ARE A KNOWN DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND THESE AIRBAGS CAN KILL OR INJURE PASSENGERS, AND MY 2010 HONDA JUST RECEIVED IT'S RECALL NOW, IN FEBRUARY, 2018 - WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE THE RECALL ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD? 2021?I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE MY 2013 BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM, OTHER DEALERS WILL NOT TOUCH THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO FORCE HONDA TO ADVISE OWNERS TO GIVE A PROJECTED DATE FOR A RECALL AND WHAT TO DO UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS ORDERED / AVAILABLE.

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.

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?

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!

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!

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.

Summary

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.

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.

MY CAR IS 2013 ACCORD BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM GARDENA HONDA AND NO OTHER MECHANIC TOUCHED IT. SINCE 2013, I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR AT THE SAME LOCATION. MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE HOWEVER, ONCE I RECEIVED THE BATTERY RECALL LETTER I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR INTO GARDENA HONDA. PLEASE NOTE MY CAR STILL HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. AUGUST 2017 I WENT TO GET MY CAR CHECKED FOR THE BATTERY RECALL THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT THEY APPLIED KONSHI BOND TO PROTECT BMS. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER WORK MY CAR DID NOT START (STATIONARY). CHECK ENGINE WAS ON, CHECK STEERING LIGHT ON & TRACTION LIGHT ON PLUS LOW PRESSURE ON. I IMMEDIATELY FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO IT. HONDA SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THAT NOW THE PROBLEM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BATTERY. INSTEAD, IT WAS MY ENGINE WIRE HARNESS. THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED FOR A PRICE OF ~$2,800 BUT THEY COULD LOWER IT TO $669.15 + TAX I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM IN HONDA. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR. BACK IN MARCH 2016 THEY TOLD ME BY BATTERY FAILED THE BATTERY TEST AND DECIDED TO CHARGE IT. NOVEMBER 2016, THEY MADE ME BUY A NEW BATTERY, AT THAT TIME MY CAR WAS STILL BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS COINCIDENCE. I GOT A HONDA FOR RELIABILITY REASONS. I ALSO KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SERVICE THE CAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE 3 TIMES AND I SHOULDN'T BE CONCERN OF MY 2013 HONDA CAR THAT STILL HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES OF ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I AM CONCERN OF SERVICE FRAUD BECAUSE I WAS CHARGE TO RECHARGED AND REPLACE THE BATTERY. ONE TIME I WAS WITHIN WARRANTY AND THE OTHER WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTERWARD. I AM REQUESTING A REIMBURSEMENT OF SOME MANNER; IT CAN BE MONETARY OR FREE SERVICING MY CAR.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

VEHICLE HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS DUE TO FAILURE TO START, ONLY CLICKING SOUND. BEFORE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO START, I WOULD HAVE TO TRY 3 OR MORE TIMES FOR IT TO START. FIRST TIME I CHANGED THE BATTERY AN VEHICLE WAS OK FOR A WHILE BUT THEN STARTED FAILING TO START INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD ONLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I DO NOT MIND REPLACING THE STARTER BUT IT BOTHERS ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 3-4 YEAR OLD AND BELIEVE REPLACING THE STARTER MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LONG RUN AS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME STARTERS THAT ARE FAILING.

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.

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 ISSUES IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU.

Summary

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary

***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.

Summary

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.

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.

Summary

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.

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.

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.

Summary

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 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.

CAR WON'T START,ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BOUGHT A 2013 HONDA ACCORD EXL V6, IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, BUT SOON AFTER THAT I STARTED EXPERIENCING STARTING PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC MANY TIMES, I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED, REPLACED STARTER, THE BATTERY ETC. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY WIDE SPREAD, THERE ARE SEVERAL YOU TUBE VIDEOS, AND POSTS OF FRUSTRATED OWNERS UNABLE TO START THEIR CARS CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE THE STARTED IN MOST CASES. EVERY CAR FROM 2013-2016 IS SUFFERING FROM THIS PROBLEM, OF BEING UNABLE TO START, AS A COLLEGE STUDENT I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO CONSTANTLY FIX IT AS IT HAPPENS. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR, TO REPLACE MY OLD CAR WHICH WAS DEVELOPING MAJOR PROBLEMS, BUT AT LEAST THE CAR STARTED EVERY TIME. PLEASE, ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH URGENCY MANY PEOPLE DEPEND ON THESE VEHICLES, TO GET TO WORK SCHOOL ETC.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE STRANDED DUE TO OUR 2013 HONDA ACCORD NOT STARTING. WE JUST CAME OUT OF THE MOVIES AND THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE KEY AND IT WOULD JUST CLICK. I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING AND OVER $800 TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED AT THE HONDA DEALER. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE, BUT I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY PRICE MATCHED THE STARTER. I DRIVE A LOT OF MILE TO WORK SO I HAVE OVER 60K MILES IN 2 YEARS. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE PROBLEM CAN BE SEEN ON FORUMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO AFFECTS NEW CARS, BASE MODELS, PUSH BUTTONS, V6'S ETC. I THINK THE STARTER SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO REPLACE STARTERS THAT THE DEALER SEEMED TO KNOW WAS BAD.

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.

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.

Summary

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

Summary

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.

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.

Summary

A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT WITH 42K MILES BECAME HESITANT TO START. A TURN OF THE KEY AND I JUST HEARD CLICKS , AFTER 3-5 TRIES IT USUALLY STARTED ON UP. THE PROBLEM PROGRESSED, YET I CONTINUED TO "MAKE DUE", I STARTED PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO START IT, AND EVEN HAD TO BE JUMPED OFF A FEW TIMES. EVENTUALLY IN EARLY FEBRUARY MY BATTERY WENT BAD, AND I PURCHASED A NEW ONE. ON MARCH 12,2016 MY CAR REFUSED TO START. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM - IN 2013 WITH 18 MILES ON IT...ON 3/14/16 I WAS JUST INFORMED THAT MY STARTER IS BAD. TO REPLACE THE STARTER IT WILL BE $850....NOT INCLUDING THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $110 AND THE TOWING COST OF $80, ALL BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE 3/36K WARRANTY THAT IS STANDARD WITH HONDA. SEEMS LIKE A RIDICULOUS PRICE TO PAY, ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING THE OTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON HONDAS PART. 2013 WAS THE FIRST YEAR THEY MADE THE HONDA ACCORD SPORT EDITION ( I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP), OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WENT AWRY AT THE FACTORY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM, I GAVE THE YEAR,MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY CAR. THE TECHNICIAN THAT ANSWERED THE PHONE REPLIED WITH "OH, YES MA'AM, I JUST SPOKE WITH YOU 10 MINUTES AGOI?" IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD CALLED. THAT TELLS ME THERE ARE OTHER 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. MAKE IT RIGHT HONDA!!

I HAVE 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.

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.

Summary

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST SIX WEEKS WHEN TURNING LEFT, THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND OR SO LOSING ALL POWER. IT THEN WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT WHEN TURNING ONTO A ROAD BY ON COMING TRAFFIC WHEN I SHOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS. THE SERVICE REP DROVE IT HOME. THE MECHANIC DROVE IT. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE DAY I GOT THE CAR BACK IT AGAIN STALLED OR LUGGED. MOST OF THE TIME IT STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT BUT IT HAS FAILED IN REVERSE AND WHEN LEAVING A STOP LITE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD CALL HONDA ENGINEERING TO SEE WHAT PROBLEMS THEY MIGHT BE AWARE OF. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO AND I'VE NOT HEARD BACK. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN IF YOU ARE OVER 20 MPH. THIS IS A 6 CYLINDER HONDA. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WITH ECCO OFF OR ON. I PURCHASED THE CAR CERTIFIED USED 10/2015 FROM A HONDA DEALER. IT HAS 18,000 MILES. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER OF HONDA'S FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS. *JS

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.

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.

Summary

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 A COVERED 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.

THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK AND ALL I HEAR ARE CLICKS. IT TAKES 3-5 IGNITION ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. SOMETIMES IT WILL START ON THE FIRST TRY. FURTHERMORE, SOMETIMES I LEAVE IT ALONE FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO WITH THE KEY OUT AND THEN IT WILL START. ONCE IT STARTS, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE FINE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TEST THE BATTERY AND THE RESULT WAS A GOOD BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE AND WILL NOT GIVE A GOODWILL WARRANTY TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THIS STARTUP PROBLEM. THEY SAID I WOUD HAVE TO PAY IF NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

I'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 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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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 OF THE 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 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.

Summary

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.H PROBLEMS 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.

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 THE TORQUE SENSOR(DTC 53-01), WHICH WOULD COST $674.88.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

Summary

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY HAD A TOW TRUCK SENT OUT TO GET THE CAR. THE TOW 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.

Summary

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 2015 I 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). *TR

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.

Summary

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

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.

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. *TR

Summary

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. *TR

Summary

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

Summary

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. *TR

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.

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. *TR

THEY REFERRED ME TO HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA AND I WAS TOLD THAT IF I WANTED TO CHECK OUT MY AIRBAG I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE INSPECTION.

Summary

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. *TR

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

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

Summary

I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 HONDA ACCORD 2DR EX-L V6 OFF THE FLOOR OF THE DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 1, 2014. THE DEALER HAD CHANGED THE STANDARD 18 IN WHEELS TO 19'S AND THE STANDARD GOOD YEAR TIRES TO BRIVERY DGESTONE TURANZA EL 400 02'S. AFTER I HAD PUT ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON THE CAR, A SMALL STAPLE (1/16 IN DEEP) PUNCTURED ONE TIRE JUST BETWEEN THE WALL AND THE TREAD,AND THE WALL FAILED AND IT RAN FLAT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THESE TIRES. THERE WAS A GOOD YEAR TIRE WARRANTY BOOKLET IN THE GLOVE BOX BUT NO BRIDGESTONE BOOKLET FOR THE TURANZA'S. WHEN I PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, I LEARNED THAT THE SPARE WAS MOUNTED ON A 17 IN RIM AND WAS NOT A LOW PROFILE TIRE LIKE THE TURANZA'S. MY COMPLAINTS ARE (1) THE 17 INCH STANDARD TIRE FOR A SPARE WHEN IT IS 2 INCHES SMALLER THAN THE OTHER TIRES AND IS NOT A LOW PROFILE. I AM WORRIED THAT IF I DRIVE VERY FAR ON THE SPARE I WILL DAMAGE RUNNING GEAR OR BREAK AN AXLE DUE TO THESE DIFFERENCES. (2) ALL THE TURANZA'S ON THE HONDA SAY THEY WERE MADE IN JAPAN AND WHEN I TRIED TO REGISTER THE TIRES ON LINE WITH BRIDGESTONE, IT ASKED FOR A CITY AND DOT. THE DOT IS EJN1JHE3612 BUT THERE IS NO CITY ON THE TIRE SO CAN'T REGISTER IT. THE BRIDGESTONE WEBSITE LISTS LOCATIONS OF MANUFACTURING PLANTS BUT NONE ARE LISTED IN JAPAN. AM I RUNNING KNOCK-OFF BRIDGESTONE TIRES? AND (3) THE TIRE FAILED AT THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE WALL AND THE TREAD FROM A VERY SMALL STAPLE THAT BARELY STUCK TO THE RUBBER AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE WERE IT MADE TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

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 IVE NEVER 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! *TR

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).

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.

2013 HONDA ACCORD (20K MILES) ISSUE: DEFECTIVE RACK-N-PINION I 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! *TR

Summary

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 *BF

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. *TR

Summary

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

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

Summary

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. *JS

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? *TR

Summary

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)? *TR

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Summary

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

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.

Summary

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

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

THE DEALERSHIP REMOVED THE STEERING WHEEL AND DETERMINED THAT 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. *TR

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

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 SOME OTHER 2013 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS. *TR

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.

Summary

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 DRIVING A CAR WHICH HAS BEEN IMPAIRED IN OTHER WAYS, POSSIBLY WITH A DEFECTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM THAT RESULTED FROM HONDA'S AUDIO UPDATE. *TR

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

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.

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.

Summary

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!

Summary

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

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.

Summary

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 SIGNIFICANTLY RECLINED - 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. *JB

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.

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 ENCOUNTERED 7 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. *TR

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.

Summary

THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD LX DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR HAS AN OUTER SEGMENT DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A WIDER VIEW OF THE ROAD TO CORRECT FOR BLIND SPOTS. HOWEVER, THE DESIGN IS SELF-DEFEATING. THE OUTER SEGMENT SHOWS MORE AREA, BUT, TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, IT COMPACTS THE FIELD OF VIEW CAUSING A CONFUSING DISTORTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE OUTER SEGMENT MAY APPEAR OUT OF FOCUS TO DRIVERS WEARING EYE GLASSES. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED TODAY BY PHONE TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A STATEMENT WAS TAKEN BY A REPRESENTATIVE. A MORE APPROPRIATE DESIGN FOR THE DRIVER''S MIRROR WOULD INCORPORATE A SEAMLESS, GRADUAL CONVEX CURVE 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. *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2013 HONDA ACCORD KNOWING 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 PROBLEM I'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. *TR

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.

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.

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. *TR

Summary

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. *TR

Summary

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.

Summary

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. *TR

Summary

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. *TR

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

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. *TR

Summary

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. *TR

Summary

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 ASSESSMENT HONDA OFFERS NO ALTERNATIVE MIRROR AND APPARENTLY THERE IS NO AFTER MARKET MIRROR TO USE IN PLACE OF THE STANDARD EQUIPMENT. *TR

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).

Summary

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. *TR

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! *TR

Summary

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.

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. *TR

Summary

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

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

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD AFTER MY FORMER CAR WAS REAR ENDED AND I SUFFERED SEVERE WHIPLASH AND BACK PAIN. AS A RESULT OF THIS I DID NOT REALIZE THE POOR DESIGN OF THE SEAT, AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE HEAD RESTS. IN MY TEST DRIVE LASTING 10 - 15 MINUTES I DID NOT NOTICE IT, BUT AFTER TWO WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP AND DRIVING THE CAR 1 HOUR EACH WAY TO AND FROM WORK, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HEAD REST STICKS OUT SO FAR THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET COMFORTABLE IN THE CAR, AND ADDITIONALLY, IT HURT THE THORACIC PORTION OF MY MIDDLE BACK. I KNOW THIS, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I AM STILL IN PHYSICAL THERAPY, ON THE WEEKEND WHEN I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR MY BACK HURTS MUCH LESS THAN IT DOES DURING THE WEEK WHEN I MAKE MY COMMUTE TO WORK. ADDITIONALLY THIS WEEKEND MY WIFE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR FOR A LONG DRIVE AND SHE SUFFERED FROM THE SAME PAIN THAT I SUFFERED FROM. IT IS SO BAD, WE HAD TO CUT OUR TRIP SHORT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS NOT A DEFECT BUT A REQUIREMENT BY THE US GOVERNMENT. THEREFORE I AM CONTACTING YOU CONCERNING HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

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

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.

SO SELECTING ANY LIST ITEM WHILE DRIVING TAKES THE DRIVER'S EYES OFF THE ROAD, CAUSES BODILY CONTORTIONS (IT IS A LONG REACH), AND MAKES I IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY SCROLL MORE THAN A FEW DOZEN PLACES DOWN THE LIST. *TR
