ENGINE
CAR HAS 52000 MILES AND CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN THE 2013 ACCORD EARTH DREAMS ENGINES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THE 2008-2012 ACCORD ENGINES HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND I BELIEVE ANOTHER ONE IS WARRANTED FOR THE 9TH GEN 2014-2017 ACCORD 2.4L MODELS..I AM LOSING ABOUT 1QT OF OIL PER 1000 MILES. THESE HONDA ENGINES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE OWNERS NEED HELP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHANGED AND CHECKED AND THERE APPEAR TO BE NO ISSUES THERE. ONLINE FORUMS SUGGEST THAT THIS IS A ENDEMIC STARTER ISSUE WITH HONDA ACCORDS. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START WITH EASE. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. WHEN IT DOES NOT START I HAVE TO JUMP IT, BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE AUTO SHOP AFTERWARDS THEY TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO APPARENT ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR.

STEERING
I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS DRIVING HOME ALONG THE SERVICE ROAD WHEN I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL AUTOMATICALLY TURNED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH INTO PARKED CARS. NO LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY DASH AND IT WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. LUCKILY I WAS OFF THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE INJURED MULTIPLE PEOPLE. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME SO HARD TO CONTROL REQUIRING YOU TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN IT. ONCE YOU LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WOULD TURN REALLY FAST ON ITS OWN TO THE RIGHT. I TRIED TURNING ON AND OFF THE CAR, UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY, BUT THE ISSUE WAS STILL THERE. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND ALSO CONTACTED CORPORATE IN WHICH I WAS TOLD THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS BAD, AND IF THE CAR DOESN'T SHOW A CODE, THEY WON'T COVER IT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 46K MILES, AND A BIG SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED OR PARTIALLY COVERED. INSTEAD, I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO BE OVER $3K FOR INSTALL AND PARTS, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INTERMITTENT IGNITION FAILURE. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY IN COLDER WEATHER, BUT I HAVE HAD ISSUES ALL YEAR LONG. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, YOU HEAR A LOUD STATIC NOISE WITH NO ENGAGEMENT OF THE ENGINE. I'VE HAD TO ABANDON MY CAR ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS DUE TO THIS FAILURE. HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND OFTEN RESULTS IN REPLACING THE STARTER. I DON'T HAVE A WRITTEN QUOTE, BUT HE VERBALLY ESTIMATED THE COST TO BE AROUND $1,000.

WHEELS
DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING HUB ASSEMPLY FAILED AT 66,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL HONDA PART WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. WHIRRING NOISE WAS INCREASINGLY WORSE WHEN I WAS DRIVING, PROMPTING ME TO HAVE IT EVALUATED BY MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE HE SHOWED ME THE NOISE MADE WHEN THE ONE WHEEL WAS TURNED WITH THE CAR ON THE RACK. PART WAS REPLACED. THE OTHER REAR BEARING ASSEMBLY SEEMS OK SO FAR. REPAIR BILL WAS $430. MECHANICS TELL ME THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A WHEEL BEARING TO FAIL WITH SO LITTLE MILES ON THE CAR.
