STEERING
MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. HE WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. HE JUST CAME OFF AN ACCESS ROAD AND HAD VEERED TO THE RIGHT TO MERGE INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 38K MILES. THE WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT AND TOOK GREAT EFFORT TO CENTER THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO A STOP. HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND CALLED ME. STATED IT WAS STILL DRIVEABLE AND DROVE HOME, BUT CONTINUED TO HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE FOR STEERING WHEEL JERKING TO THE RIGHT AND CIRCULATING OUT OF CONTROL WHEN LET GO. I DROVE THE CAR UPON HIS RETURN AND EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE. TAKING VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.

VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT START. WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON, A STATIC NOISE IS HEARD. THE STARTER IS SPINNING, BUT NOT ENGAGING WITH THE TORQUE GEAR. THE STARTER MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES BUT THE RESULT IS THE SAME. THESE START ISSUES ARE A DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE ONLY WAY IT STARTS IS IF I SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TRY. OCCASIONALLY THAT DOESN'T WORK AND I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND TRY TO START IT THERE.

STEERING
VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER FOR NO REASON. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL. THERE ARE ALMOST 400,000 COMPLAINTS I'VE NOTICED AND I'M WONDERING WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. I HAD 3 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME AT THE TIME AND I FEEL EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT OUR VEHICLE DID NOT CRASH AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS CONSIDERED SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR A RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. ADDITIONALLY, VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA HAS REPAIRED ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 BUT NOT 2013-2016 WHICH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. VARIOUS FORUMS AND MY OWN VEHICLE HAS THE ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEOS AND SOUND TO PROVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA IS REPAIRING ON ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STARTS WITH A LOUD START-UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE WEATHER IS REALLY COLD, THE ENGINE WON'T START. HONDA DOES HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FOR OLDER CARS.

KEY-LESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT IS VERY UNRELIABLE. THE PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE. THIS MAKES STARTING THE CAR A VARIABLE TIME EVENT AND NOT SUITABLE FOR MOVING THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THE PROBLEM WAS WELL KNOWN BY HONDA AND PRESUMABLY FIXED IN SOME 2013'S. HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 13-038 TOLD HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO REPLACE THE MODULE AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. THEY CUT THIS OFF AT VIN DL002124, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. STREETSBORO OHIO HONDA TELLS ME THEY CAN ORDER THE PART BUT THEY WANT OVER $600 TO REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2013 AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS JUST HARD TO START. I MENTIONED IT TO A SERVICE MAN AT BEDFORD HONDA AT THE TIME, BUT THE CAR STARTED UP FOR HIM SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW SO I JUST LIVED WITH IT. IT'S NOW MUCH WORSE.

SERVICE BRAKES
CAR STALLS GOING THRU INTERSECTIONS WHICH I COMPLAINED ABOUT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN FT .MYERS IN 2013. I HAVE PAPERWORK THAT SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT HOWEVER, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS. SO FAR, I AM LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT! BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON 7/15/19 , I STARTED TO TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKES LOCKED AND I HAD TO VEER ONTO THEIR LAWN ON AN EMBANKMENT, RAN OVER A CEMENT PARKING BLOCK AND THROW IT INTO PARK AND TURN IT OFF IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR FROM HITTING ANYONE! THE CAR WAS TOWED FROM PROSPECT AVE AND BRADY STREET IN MILWAUKEE WI. RUSS DARROW HONDA RAN A SAFETY CHECK AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I THINK THEY SHOULD CHECK THE VSA MODULATOR. ABRA AUTO REPAIR IN GLENDALE HAD IT TOWED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT AND SENT IT TO RUSS DARROW HONDA. CLEARLY, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT! I HAVE A FL DRIVERS LICENSE AND I AM IN WI NOW FOR THE SUMMER, WHICH IS WHERE THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE PICTURES BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD THEM TO YOUR SITE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I THINK THIS MIGHT BE MY 3RD COMPLAINT, I LOVE HONDA AND HAVE HAD HONDA CARS FOR YEARS, BUT THIS HAS REALLY TESTED MY PATIENCE. FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE GONE THROUGH 3 STARTERS AND 2 ALTERNATORS, EVERY TIME I CONTACT HONDA THEY TELL ME TO DROP THE CAR OFF SO THEY CAN TEST IT, I PAY THEM $130 SO THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW. MY PROBLEM IS THAT STARTER ISSUE IS VERY COMMON, AND THERE IS NO LONG TERM FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. SO THE ISSUE IS BACK, I END UP GETTING STRANDED IN PLACES FOR HOURS AT A TIME, AND SOMETIMES EVEN END UP BEING LATE TO WORK, DUE TO MY STARTER SPINNING AWAY UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO CATCH EVENTUALLY. I TOOK IT TO GET APPRAISED THE OTHER DAY, AND IT WOULDN'T START OFCOURSE, THE DEALER REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE OFCOURSE, BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO SELL A LEMON. AT THIS POINT, I AM EITHER LOOKING FOR HONDA TO BUY MY CAR OFF ME, REPLACE IT, OR COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX. IF YOU GO ON YOUTUBE AND TYPE IN HONDA STARTER ISSUE YOU WILL FIND PLENTY OF VIDEOS, AND I ALSO HAVE RECIEPTS FOR ALL THE TRIPS MY CAR TOOK TO THE DEALER. I AM NOT GOING TO INSTALL A 4TH STARTER, THAT IS THAT REDICULOUSE, I REFUSE TO GO TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THEM TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW.
