WHEELS
I purchased this car from Trickett Honda in June 2013. The mileage on 9/11/23 was 23,602 (the day of the rear wheel hub bearing repair). This car was used primarily by my wife and driven mostly in town for short trips (14 to 25 miles round trip to and from home), seldom trips to Nashville and back. My wife started complaining about what she called “road noise” 4 or 5 years ago. I occasionally drove the car and it was loud, but I thought it might just be tires, but the tires looked OK. I do remember being on the interstate hwy at 75 and noticed a high noise level. My wife recently had to drive her brother to Nashville for doctor appointments and he told her he thought the noise was from a bad wheel bearing. So, I started searching on Google for 2013 Honda Accord noise problems and found many references. One was a Honda Engineering Request for Investigation (copy attached). In order to qualify the VIN must start with 1HG (my vin). It said to call Technical Research & Support at 800-880-1072 and I did. TRS told me to contact Music City Honda and I gave them the info (case number etc.) and they told me they knew nothing about Honda requesting that they look at the car. The guy I talked with said they would charge $150 just to get in the car and drive it. So, I called Gallatin Honda, got transferred to the service dept., told to leave a message and they never called back. So, I called Murfreesboro Honda and the service guy said it would cost $450 labor plus parts to fix one rear wheel bearing. I took it to Hight’s Auto repair and Mr. Hight got in with me and drove the car and told me the noise was from one or both rear hub bearings and it was just one and he fixed it for $325.67 (invoice attached). He said we are lucky that nothing bad happened (like the wheel coming off). He gave me the bad wheel hub bearing in case Honda wants it. Apparently Honda knows about this problem and is not fixing it. There is something wrong with a bearing that goes bad this quick.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, WHEELS
My vehicle currently has the TPMS, VSA(Stabilty/ABS),Electric Power Steering, Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Warning lights are on. I brought my vehicle to a local Tire Discounters. They scanned for the codes and it brought up the VSA Modulator (aka ABS Module) malfunction. I researched through forums and it is a common issue with Honda ABS module. The VSA/ABS module has to be replaced due to electrical issues within the module. This could lead to a crash/injury.

STEERING
When I bought the car about one month ago, the car would pull slightly to the left and get worse when I would go to stop. A week and a half ago it got a lot worse and now if you take any pressure off the steering wheel it will turn completely to the left. Also, turning to the right is extremely difficult. The car is not safe to drive in this state. Mechanics have said that it is the torque sensor in the steering rack that has gone bad.

STEERING
My family and I were driving home then out of nowhere the steering wheel turned all the way left and after a while it went in random directions. If my hand was off the wheel anytime while driving the car would’ve crashed into the side rail or another driver. There were no warning signs that this would happen and there are no dash lights indicating a problem.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
The ABS Module Failure All of the dashboard light are on due the a Faulty ABS Module, YouTube and other Honda forums reported the same problems. The ABS Module is poorly designed The connectors are very thin and they break apart with the vehicle vibration, the Abs dashboard light, Steering control dashboard light, Traction control dashboard light,TPMS dashboard light all are in the ABS Module control unit. Honda need to Issue a Recall for the abs Module failing after 35k miles of its vehicles its a safety issue and it should be dressed. Thank You
