STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE I SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING. I HAD THE EPS LIGHT SHOW ON MY DASH. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK TO NORMAL. THE STEERING WAS INCREDIBLY HARD TO TURN. A FEW HOURS LATER I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT AN ERROR CODE WAS LOGGED DURING INCIDENT: DTC 71-01 MOTOR ANGLE SENSOR (SIN/COS SIGNALS) UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ABOVE EPS FAILURE. THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE ISSUE IS "INTERMITTENT" AND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE STARTER ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L SEDAN BEGAN TO FAIL AT LESS THAN 50K MILES. IT BEGAN WITH THE SYMPTOMS OF NOT STARTING WITH THE FIRST PRESS ON THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION, WHICH I WAS TOLD BY HONDA MAY JUST BE A FAULT OF MY OWN FOR NOT OPERATING THE PUSH BUTTON SYSTEM CORRECTLY. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE INCORRECT AS ONCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE CAR STARTED TO REQUIRE MORE AND MOST "PUSHES" TO START. EVENTUALLY I WAS LEFT STRANDED AND THE CAR WOULD ON START AT ALL IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES I TRIED. WHILE THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE I WAS STRANDED, IN OTHER SITUATIONS THIS COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN INJURY, OR IN THE WORST CASE, THE LOSS OF LIFE.

WHEELS, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON A FEW HUNDRED MILES BEFORE A TIRE BLEW OUT. I CONSIDERED THE TEAR IN THE SIDE-WALL OF THE TIRE BEFORE THE BLOW TO BE THE LIKELY CAUSE OF THE TPMS LIGHT ON (LOSING PRESSURE). AFTER A BRAND NEW SET OF FOUR (4) TIRES, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO RE-CALIBRATE THE TPMS, OR CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE MYSELF, OR TAKE THE CAR TO THE TIRE SHOP TO CHECK THE PRESSURES, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON NO MATTER WHAT. THIS IS AN ON0GOING ISSUE THAT CONTINUES DAILY, DESPITE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR IS NOT STARTING. TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING. NO DRAGGING NOISE AND NO CLICKING. ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON. SEEMS TO BE SO COMMON AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME WHATS WRONG BEFORE EVEN EXAMINING THE CAR. THEY SAY ITS THE STARTER. HAVING IT EXAMINED BY THE 3RD AUTO MECHANIC TODAY. ONLY 39,000 MILES, SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. FROM ALL THE RESEARCH I AM DOING, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
