ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
While performing a normal U-Turn at a stop sign, I turned the wheel all the way to the left. When the wheel reached it's max rotation to the left, the Power Steering light on the dash flashed for a second, but at the same time the whole car turned off and then back on. I was stopped mid-turn until the car restarted. Not knowing what happened, I continued the turn slowly and when the wheel reached the max rotation the same light flicker and car restart happened. I tested once again while parked and confirmed that when I turn the wheel completely to the left, the car restarts. My safety was put at risk due to other cars at the stop sign not anticipating my car stopping in the middle of the intersection. No accidents or injuries occured. Based on limited research, it appears this is a defect that has been reported before for my make and model of car. I have not had my car inspected at this time. There were no previous indicators (warnings, messages, or symbols), prior to the failure.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
In November 2023 I began to experience difficulty starting the vehicle. The issue is the ignition switch has worn out. This issue is very random, I may start my car on average 10 times per day. It may not happen for 10 starts in a row. When it does happen, the vehicle may start after 3,5 7 tries or up to 20 including breaks in-between, different keys, etc. Key factors that have been eliminated are starter, battery and fuse. One important note I discovered today was that a mechanic on YouTube mentioned having to remove starter and add a plate to the one end, so this could be part of an electrical issue that may only be associated with another year Honda Accord specifically with a V6. This should be a SAFETY issue or at least diagnosed by Honda as it seems to be very prevalent within the brand and may occur in year #2 or #8. Having this random inoperable event happen when consumer is: 1. In a frigid snow storm rural part of America 2. In an emergency situation like medical, or safety late at night, with possible criminal entity or environment is not safe.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When starting the car via push button start , there is a clicking sound. The battery was replaced fuses checked and sometimes it will start on the first push other times it takes 5 minutes. I had to start my car after I had to leave my car suddenly due to needing to enter a store asap to retrieve my wallet. Upon returning, one person clearly was attempting to enter my car who saw me than left. So I had to leave the area quickly. But the car just clicked when ignition button pushed. 6 mins later I was able to start it. The car only has 36000 miles on it. But I’ve had every thing checked, alternator, battery etc. the starter is the the obvious problem

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Initially it started as ignition starter issues, now there seems to be what may be concluded as transmission issues. After doing research i see Hondas history of bad transmissions. Extremely low acceleration causes dangerous lane switching or merging with traffic, also the fear of it stalling and no longer working as I drive.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
Winter 2022 The problem occurred after icy conditions in Texas and ABS, traction control and steering system lights came on in my Gage cluster, since then i have tried many things to fix the issue went as far as replacing the knuckle full assembly with abs speed sensor. Later I search across the internet of honda owners and noticed its a common issue and a very expensive 1, my local honda quoted $2800 for the part. My safety has been compromised on many occasions including brakes locking during wet conditions, my car slipped out of control because of the lack of traction control nearly causing a bad accident. I have been driving extremely cautiously, and during wet conditions driving my other vehicle. Due to the abs/vsa module malfunction there are so many components attached to the system Including tpms, srs, steering system, and including but not limited to ABS, currently all these lights are on in my dashboard please investigate this common issue that many honda owners experienced and after further research many youtubers opened module to discover a lot of circuit to selinoid issues, Please help us make Honda accountable for there mistakes and faulty parts that are so expensive and cheaply made, that may or have caused so many Americans hardship and financial repercussions. I shall be very tahnkful.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
Issue where multiple dashboard indicator lights coming on. Tire Pressure, ABS, Power Steering, and Traction Control lights specifically all on at the same time. Car typically drives fine but will intermittently not want to accelerate and/or brakes are trying to apply themselves while trying to accelerate. This is a dangerous safety issue as I could be driving on the highway the car all of sudden would not continue accelerating. Short term Workaround is turning Traction Control off but does not last. In general issue seems to be electrical. Could be battery, ABS Module needing a reset to neutral, wheel speed sensors are bad, PCM Module faulty, fuel pump failing, VSA issue or needing a reset, faulty wiring, or a combination of all of these mentioned. I took to a Honda dealership (Mall of GA) and they could not resolve the issue and recommended a VSA Module replacement which is a $2000+ repair. This issue came up for me in mid-July 2023 and as of this post is still an issue. This should be recall as I keep seeing complaints about this online in various forums for 2012-2017 Honda Accords.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
There has been numerous reports on forums such as Reddit and also in most comments on youtube concerning the VSA solenoid valve malfunction and how it is a safety concern on almost all Honda Accord 12-17 . Recently, I have been a victim of this and the repair is so pricy that it is either I take a loan to fix it, or I become a risk to other road users. I would advise that NHTSA issue a recall on all Honda Accord trims (2012-2017) as most vehicles on the road will have this issue and will pose a safety concern to other road users.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
There are multiple complaints about starting issues and ABS module issues for 2013-2016 Accords online. I myself am also experiencing Starting issues and ABS issues I have bought a starter 4 times from Honda and they have all had the same issue of intermittently working. My ABS Module has just went out and Honda wants 1,300 for a problem that has been known about since the 2013 release. Something needs to be done as I have paid well over $3,000 for the issue to not be fixed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
I’ll start by saying my car is impeccably maintained at the Honda dealership! I have reached out to Honda and even emailed the hard of Honda motor corp in Japan and my cars problems. In the last 16 months my car has trouble starting , failed to start on several times , and for [XXX] reason the battery charging issue light comes on , as well as forward control warning light . It began last spring 2022. I need the main and rear seal replaced , a new battery eve though mine wasn’t a year old and was purchased and installed at the Honda dealer, it also needed a new alternator. Within 10-15 minutes of driving all the dashboard lights flashed smoke poured out of the engine.the car overheated while I was driving in the highway ! I was stranded in busy highway traffic . I also had a new battery cable replaced. That was between march and April of last year. All is documented and reported to Honda. Highly unusual for a 7 year old car with 50,000 to need 2 seals, a new battery each year for 3 years in a row , a new battery cable , and alternator . I also reported the car isn’t driving well . 1 year later and I need another alternator and a starter! In March The car wasn’t starting it made clicking noises - it needed a starter and now in July it the battery charging issue light was again flashing and needed another alternator . My car is nether safe nor reliable . There is no doubt my car has MAJOR electrical issues that are ongoing and unresolved.it is NOT just my Honda accord.the records show this.Please do something .I can not afford a new car . Honda says they are about safety but they are NOT ! With so many ongoing electrical problems it is not if but when something will happen. I’ve made it clear to honda and now you that we the consumer need help from the ongoing honda electrical issues plaguing the accords before there are fatalities. Also, do more psa letting consumers know they need to report issue on your site- o didnt know and I am pretty savvy . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AC
