STEERING
WIFE WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 35 MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I DROVE IT NEXT DAY AND NO ISSUES....DAY AFTER THAT I DROVE IT WITH ESSENTIALLY NO POWER STEERING. I BRING IT TO THE DEALER, "ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR" THEY TELL ME....THEY REPLACE THAT AND THEN DECIDE THE "CONTROL BOX" FOR IT ALSO NEEDS REPLACED....THEY REPLACE THAT AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT AND THEY ARE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH HONDA (ITS AT A HONDA DEALER.) HE TELLS ME LAST NIGHT TO BE PATIENT "THERES SOMETHING WE NEED TO TRY" I SAID OK KEEP ME UPDATED HAVNT HEARD BACK YET. I SEE THERES LOTS OF ISSUES ON HERE ABOUT THIS HOW IS IT NOT A RECALL? I ALSO FOUND A THREAD FROM 2015 WHERE PEOPLE HAVE PAPERWORK ABOUT A RECALL....BUT CAN FIND NOTHING ABOUT THIS RECALL ON HONDAS WEBSITE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BEING THE BILL IS ALREADY OVER 2K AND THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO FIX....

STEERING
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).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR JUST GOT 22,000 MILES BUT HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER. I JOINED A FORUM OF PEOPLE WHO OWN SAME TYPE OF MY CAR. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAS SAME PROBLEMS WITH MINE. SOME LUCKY PEOPLE GOT THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR HAS 80,000 MILES. SOME UNLUCKY PEOPLE GOT THE PROBLEM WITH THE LOW MILES ON THE CAR AS ME. I THINK HONDA NEED TO HAVE A RECALL FOR STARTER PROBLEM OF HONDA ACCORD 13 MODEL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
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!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 !

POWER TRAIN
1. THERE IS HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE SHIFTS ARE HARD AND JOLTING 2. THE DOWNSHIFTING COMING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS TERRIFYING. HARD, JOLTING SHIFTS THAT HAPPEN WAY TOO EARLY AND WAY TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. IT MAKES IT LIKE THE CAR IS STALLING CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR A TUNING SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT FIXES THIS. *TR
