ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES
I have had car serviced faithfully since ownership in 2013. Last visit to dealer I was informed that the VSA modulator control unit has malfunctioned. It’s very concerning that there has not been a recall on this since it impacts brakes, tires, steering. I am requesting a replacement of this modulator at no charge.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
There have been multiple instances of the car slowing or braking while passing other vehicles on the highway. In some cases the emergency BRAKE alert shows on the dashboard and the vehicle brakes on its own. In ALL cases there was no hazard or reason to slow or brake. This occurs often but intermittently. It has occurred in rain, night, day, sun, or other various atmospheric conditions and there seems to be no correlation other than the ACC is engaged at the time and we're passing other vehicles that are on the right side of the car. In several cases, there are other vehicles behind us while passing and the "brake check" occurrences have caused those behind us to have to brake hard or swerve to avoid us. It also creates a terrible habit for the driver of my car of using the accelerator when the BRAKE light illuminates in order to not get hit from behind. The dealer was notified and checked the car and claims there are no issues with ACC or the sensors. This indicates that the system gain tuning my be faulty or too sensitive and that the dealers are not able to make any changes to fix the issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I took my vehicle to Gregg Orr Honda in October when my dash lights were flashing again after having the fuel pump replaced in September. I was told that my fuel injectors needed to be replaced and that a fuel injector kit would be ordered. I have called several times since October, the last call placed in December of 2023 and I was told that the injectors are on back order and not sure when they will be in! What kind of customer service is this? Then he proceeds to tell me that he had ordered 7 fuel injector kits that week, I’m sure that a recall needs to be made on these fuel injectors as well because not everyone fuel injectors are going out at the same time.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Honda has issued a service bulletin for a known issue with the starter on my 2014 Honda Accord V6. I have been in several situations with my children where my car would not start for 2-3 hours. This is very much a safety concern in a Michigan winter! The repair to this costs ~$750 and only needs to be done because of a manufacturing error.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Car would shake in the morning would wait till warmed. Immediately brought to Honda where I had a diagnostic completed approx. 9/3. Reports says head gasket. Car well taking care (maintenance) no reason for blown head gasket. Got a second opinion They had the car for a week. No warning lights, and did another diagnostic and nothing showed at the time. Brought the car home. After a few months waiting for warning sign or other signs it took a couple of few months for the engine light to come on and it slowed down and came to a stop. Had car towed to Honda. Called Honda corporate. After finding out they weren't going to cover the cost of $5000+ knowing this has absolutely nothing to do with the customer being negligent with car. I can not afford that kind of money and had it towed to the same mechanic where we are still waiting for the parts to come in from Honda factory and it's been in his possession for 2 weeks. I had to get a rental which Honda would not cover. There is no way that a car that is 5years old under 80,000 miles should have engine work unless it was not cared for properly. I have proof of continuous maintenance. I should not be held reliable for malfunction parts on the car and other Hondas are having the same issues. It was very dangerous and scary having the car shake when driving and not being abled to accelerate on the gas with no warning of any. I had it towed 2x to 3x waiting and praying that Honda will be responsible.

STEERING
The steering system failed/malfunction. when turning the wheel counter-clockwise, the steering wheel jerks and temporarily shuts down the vehicle even while driving. Steering wheel has failed during the middle of a left hand turn in multiple intersections. Very unsafe and scary situation when the car does not respond or perform any inputs when the drive is trying to correct/move the wheel. the steering wheel stiffens and is unable to be moved for a few seconds while the car is on Drive. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer but stated since there are no codes provided, they are unable to service the vehicle and are unsure what that issue is and what may be causing it. vehicle has been inspected by multiple Honda dealerships, no one is able to determine what is causing this issue *but they can reproduce it) No warning lamps or messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. Issue first became apparent and has been getting progressively worse about 2 year ago (150,000 miles)

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Lost ability to steer vehicle. It was impossible to steer the car. The car was running on and in one instance moving at low sped in my own driveway. There have been 3 instances when this happens. The problem went away after turning the car off and restarting the vehicle. 2) the starter won’t start on occasion as it takes multiple attempts to start vehicle. 3) I had to replace the starter and also a sensor forward collision sensor so the entire dashboard display for every light would turn off. Literally, every light on the dashboard turns on, even for low tire pressure. The bidders concern from operation perspective is the steering. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is a critical and serious defect with this make and model of the 2013 Honda Accord. I looked online and there are literally thousands of reports of the same issue. There are complaints of uncontrollable steering too. One gentleman did a YouTube video demonstrating what’s happening. I will do the same for the steering in this vehicle the next time it happens. Why hasn’t the NHTSA issued a mandatory recall and forced Honda to make this recall happen now. I hope this isn’t a political decision because I know lives are in serious jeopardy with this loss of ability to steer the vehicle with no warning. Lastly, I’ve bought and owned 5 Honda in my lifetime: 3 Honda Accords, 1 Odyssey and 1 Pilot and I’ve never needs to file a complaint in the past as they’ve always been a reliable, safe vehicle. I’m extremely concerned about this problem and I urge NHTSA and Honda to do the right thing and issue an immediate recall to remedy this issue. You are now aware of this issue in a formal complaint and it appears that there are already several thousand complaints based on what’s online. Please take action.
