ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THE STARTERS ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD - BUT HONDA STILL HAS NOT MADE A RECALL?? THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE AND THEY ARE NOT HELPING ANYONE? I AM AFRAID I WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE AND MY CAR WILL NOT START - BUT IT IS ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET IT REPAIRED!!!! I HAVE TO CRANK IT MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. THE ONE SHOP MADE ME GET A NEW BATTERY - BUT THAT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I FEEL LIKE I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FCW 03 SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. ON JUNE 27, 2017 THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE FCW 03 CODE FLASHING ON AND OFF. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HONDA MADE RELIABLE AND SAFE CARS, BUT THIS IS PROVING TO BE UNTRUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR COMPANY ADDRESSING THE ISSUES AT HAND WITH MY CAR. THANKS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WOULD NOT START CONSISTENTLY. PUSH BUTTON START NEEDED TO BE ENGAGED UP TO 10 TIMES FOR CAR TO EVENTUALLY START. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO BECOME WORSE OVER TIME. ULTIMATELY THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 3.5 YEARS AND APPROXIMATELY 49,000 MILES. PROBLEM CAN LEAVE DRIVER STRANDED AT REMOTE LOCATIONS CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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 LAST MONTH I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE KEY INTO THE IGNITION 4-7 TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. TODAY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS AUTO PARTS IN EL PASO, TX AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO CHANGE THE STARTER BECAUSE IT IS WEARING OUT AND IS A RARITY BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN TO A HONDA ACCORD THAT IS ONLY 3 + YEARS OLD. I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND ALL ENGINE PARTS ARE OPERATING NORMALLY. UNBELIEVEABLE THAT MY HONDA ACCORD IS BREAKING DOWN ON ME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL.

AUTO HAS 37K MILES AND BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE NEW. RECENTLY, PUSH BUTTON START HAS FAILED, REQUIRING MULTIPLE TRIES IN KINDER TO START CAR. DEALER INDICATED THAT STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED FOR ROUGHLY $720. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

STEERING
CAR KEEPS LOSING ITS POWER STEERING. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED, NOR HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT, IT'S EVEN GONE OUT SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. VERY SCARY WHEN IT GOES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE IN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STARTER MISFIRED AND TENDED TO BE STARTED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT RESPONDED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HERITAGE HONDA IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

SEATS
ACCORD V6 COUPE BOUGHT NEW (AND SPOTLESS) AND NEVER IN ACCIDENT, 33,000 MILES AND 47 MONTHS OLD- CAR WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK WAS COMPLETELY FLACCID. THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ESSENTIALLY IN THE FULL RECLINED POSITION RESTING AGAINST THE BACKSEAT. IT COULD BE MOVED UP AND DOWN EASILY TO THE TOUCH WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LOCKING MECHANISM (IE IF IT WASN'T BEING MANUALLY HELD UP IT WOULD FALL BACK). I TOOK IT INTO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT "THE SEAT FRAME HAD FAILED." I CALLED HONDA TO TELL THEM AND, GIVEN THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, WILL CALL ME BACK IF THEY WILL COVER IT. AGAIN, DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME FAILED AND SEATBACK COMPLETELY FLACCID AND CAN OFFER NO BACK SUPPORT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HONDA HAS A "LANEWATCH" CAMERA THAT A SCREEN COMES ON WHEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS DEPLOYED. OUR HONDA'S CAMERA FAILS TO COME ON LEAVING THE SCREEN IN A NORMAL MODE. THIS WOULD BE SUCH AS GAS MILEAGE ETC. DEALER AND HONDA MOTOTORS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO "REPLICATE" AT DEALER. WE CALLED THEM TO COME TO OUR HOME WHICH IS LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AWAY. THEY ALWAYS ARE BUSY OR HAVE AN EXCUSE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FORWARD READY TO TURN ON A CITY STREET. WE TOOK THE VIDEO TO SHOW THE TURN SIGNAL ON AND NO "LANEWATCH". WE HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT ON OUR REAR CAMERA BLACKING OUT. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX. DRIVEACCORD.COM IS FULL OF SIMILAR CASES. SEEMS LIKE A HONDA DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

STEERING
WHEN REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPACE AND WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE EPS LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN/WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I SHUT OFF THE CAR 3 TIMES AFTER WAITING A MINUTE EACH TIME. THE LIGHT STILL CAME ONE AND THE WHEEL WAS STILL STUCK. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND RESTARTING, IT WENT AWAY. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND IT IS THERE NOW. THEY ARE STATING I MAY NEED TO USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR COVERAGE BUT AFTER RESEARCHING, SEEMS TO BE A GLITCH IN THE TORQUE CENSOR. HOPING THEY WILL DO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WITHOUT NEEDING TO USE MY WARRANTY.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE AT A RED LIGHT ON 5/21/2017. IT FIXED ITSELF AFTER 3 CAR RESTARTS (OVER THE COURSE OF ~5 HOURS). THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 5/22/2017 FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT. THE CAR DROVE FINE UNTIL 5/27/2017 WHEN IT AGAIN LOST POWER STEERING, THIS TIME WHILE NAVIGATING A TURN AT 50MPH ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR WITHOUT HITTING ANY OTHER CARS. CLEARLY, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AND THEIR SOFTWARE UPDATE DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
