AFTER WORKING A LATE SHIFT AT HER JOB, MY WIFE WENT TO DRIVE HOME ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR FAIL TO START. AT 11PM, SHE WAS LEFT STRANDED IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT UNTIL I COULD REACH HER (45 MINUTES FROM OUR HOME). THE CAR'S STARTER HAD FAILED. A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND WELL-DOCUMENTED FLAW WITH THE 2013 ACCORD. CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INSIST THAT THEY HAVE NO REPORTS OF KNOWN STARTER ISSUES. REPAIR COST IS OVER $300 ($200 FOR PART PLUS LABOR COSTS). REACHED OUT TO HONDA CORPORATE, NO RESPONSE.

ENGINE
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

STEERING
MY STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AND FORTUNATELY NOT WHILE MAKING A TURN. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE IT HOME BUT IT WAS FIGHTING ME THE WHOLE TIME AND I HAD TO TAKE VERY WIDE TURNS. THERE WAS A RELATED RECALL FOR A STEERING SOFTWARE UPDATE AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. IN THIS CASE IT WAS THE EPS STEERING MODULE WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED SO IT WAS NOT COVERED. SINCE THERE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING, I THINK THE EPS MODULE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY BULLETIN SINCE IT IMPACTS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AS THE RECALL.

SEATS
BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD IN NOVEMBER, 2012. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SEAT MOTOR HAS FAILED. IT MAKES NOISE. SEAT CANNOT BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED BY MOTOR. OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED AND SAID SEAT COULD COLLAPSE DOWN AND THAT IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR INVOLVING REPLACING ENTIRE FRONT SEAT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. MY VEHICLE HAS ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN ONE DAY, THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME BUT THE CAR STARTED BRAKING HARD. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED ME AS IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE IT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE. IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE INSTANCES, THERE WAS A LARGE TRACTOR-TRAILER TO THE RIGHT OF ME SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT PERCEIVED IT'S SHADOW AS BEING A VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2013 AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE WHEN NO ONE WAS ACTUALLY IN FRONT OF ME.

STEERING
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.

I AM GETTING ERROR READINGS ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD EXL, V6 THAT THE FCW HAS FAILED WHICH IS CAUSING OTHER ERROR LIGHTS (TIRE PRESSURE, TRACTION, ETC). I HAVE ONLY 65,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. SHOULD THIS FAILURE OCCUR AT THIS SMALL MILEAGE? SHOULD THIS NOT BE A RECALL ISSUE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2-3 MONTHS AGO, AT APPROX 72,000 MILES, THE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK ON OCCASION. INDEPENDENT DIAGNOSTIC SUGGESTED ISSUE WITH ALTERNATOR (REPLACED) AND BATTERY (REPLACED). ISSUE CONTINUED. NOW WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START THE CAR FOR DAYS. A TEST OF THE STARTER SHOWS NOTHING WRONG. THEN FCW SYSTEM FAILED WHILE TRYING TO START THE CAR, CLEARED AND FAILED AGAIN. PUSHING STARTER BUTTON RESULTS IN ALL LIGHTS AND POWER COMING ON, BUT NO START OF THE CAR. WHEN POWER IS OFF AND DOOR OPEN, THERE IS A WARNING SIGNAL SIMILAR TO WHEN LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON, BUT LIGHTS ARE OFF. SEEMS THE STARTER PROBLEM IS COMMON, BUT THE RECOMMENDED FIXES ARE NOT WORKING. REPEATEDLY REPLACING PARTS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS 150 MILES FROM HOME BEFORE THE LAST START. WHEN THE CAR STARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I IMMEDIATELY DROVE HOME. I CAN'T RISK BEING STRANDED.

STEERING
I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. I RECENTLY STARTED USING THE AUTO FEATURE OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. BOTH TIMES THAT I HAVE USED IT AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF DRIVING MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE SPEED OF THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN TO TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SPEND $2000 TO REPLACE THE COMPONENTS. MY SOLUTION NOW IS NOT TO USE THE AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. I ONLY HAVE JUST OVER 60000 AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT FROM WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO HELP AS TO SOME ADVICE TO DEAL WITH THIS. LOOKING AT WHAT IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. THIS HAS REALLY BLOWN MY BUBBLE AS TO THE HIGH REGARD I HAD FOR HONDA VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS.
