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.

CAR WILL START SOMETIMES ON FIRST TRY, BUT OTHER TIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. TURNING STEERING SOMETIMES HELPS, TURNING OFF ALL LIGHTS SOMETIMES HELPS AND PRESSING GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES HELPS, BUT ISSUE IS NOT CONSISTENT.

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 DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS DID NOT OPEN DURING THE WINTER SEASON. I SUSPECT THEY WERE FROZEN FROM THE COLD WEATHER. BUT THEN AGAIN IT ONLY OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. SOMEWHAT OF AN SAFETY ISSUE I WOULD THINK.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME SOME GUIDANCE? THANK YOU, CONCERNED CUSTOMER *TR

INTERMITTENTLY, MAYBE 30-50 TIMES IN TOTAL IN THE 112K MILES I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR, WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE START BUTTON, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE STARTER DOES NOT TURN. THERE A NOISE OF AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH TURNING IN THE DASH, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS THE STARTER SOLENOID. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I'VE READ OF A BRAKE SWITCH NOT TELLING THE STARTER IT WAS OKAY TO START, BUT HAVEN'T CHECKED THAT. I'VE READ HONDA REPLACING THE STARTER, BUT I HAVEN'T DONE THAT. SOME POSTS SAY REPLACE THE START SWITCH.

AIR BAGS
ON JUNE 26, 2015 WE DISCOVERED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED SOME TIME DURING THE NIGHT ON THIS 2013 HONDA ACCORD. MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN EARLY MAY 2015, BUT THE DAMAGE WAS MINOR. ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT. AROUND THE SAME TIME, HER MIRROR GOT KNOCKED OFF HER PASSENGER DOOR. I CONTACTED HONDA, WHO EVENTUALLY SAID THEY HAD DETERMINED IT WAS NOT A DEFECT AND THAT I NEEDED TO PURSUE A CLAIM WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE. MY CASE NUMBER WITH HONDA IS [XXX]. I MADE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, PROGRESSIVE. THAT CLAIM NUMBER IS [XXX]. I SENT NHTSA AN EMAIL COMPLAINT AT THAT TIME, BUT NEVER HEARD BACK. TODAY I RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE ON A 2012 HONDA ACCORD MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER OWNS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NHTSA HAS NOT RESPONDED. I ULTIMATELY PAID $2,984.60 IN REPAIRS FOR THE AIRBAGS. HONDA AIRBAGS HAVE A KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM. I THINK NHTSA SHOULD MAKE THEM REIMBURSE ME. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE INVOICE. MY EMAIL IS [XXX] MY PHONE (CELL) IS [XXX]. MY MAILING ADDRESS IS [XXX] PLEASE HELP. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
