SEATS
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK WAS MOVED FORWARD TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE BACK SEAT. THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK WOULD NOT LOCK IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. WITH NO SEAT BACK IN ITS UPRIGHT POSITION, IT WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE WELD ON THE SEAT FRAME THAT ALLOWED THE BACK TO BE LOCKED IN ITS UPRIGHT POSITION WAS BROKEN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BROKEN SEAT FRAME. HE FRAME COST $1320 AND LABOR WAS $409.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR NOT STARTING. HAVING TO JUMPSTART PERIODICALLY. REPLACED BATTERY EVEN THOUGH BATTERY REGISTERED GOOD. REALIZING IT'S IN THE ELECTRIC START SWITCH. I BUILT THESE CARS, I'M TROUBLESHOOTING NOW. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY EXACT ISSUE. BOUGHT IT NEW, HIGHWAY MILES BETWEEN OH AND FL. 69K. SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. ALWAYS SERVICED AND MAINTAINED. I DON'T FEEL THIS SHOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET. FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED IT, WAS OUT WITH FRIENDS, PAID FOR A TAXI TO GET HOME, JUMPSTARTED NEXT DAY TO GET IT HOME. THE SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABLE TO JUMPSTART IT HERE. IT'S IN THE ELECTRIC START. PURCHASED BATTERY 3/9/19, STILL HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH IT TURNING OVER. $164. FOR A NEW BATTERY. WHICH I KNEW IT WASN'T BATTERY, FIANC HAD IT REPLACED WORRYING ABOUT ME BEING STRANDED. I CAN SEE THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR ME. I FIRST NOTICED IT JULY 2018. WOULDN'T START IN OH, I THOUGHT I HAD JUST LEFT MY TRUNK OPEN TOO LONG WHILE PACKING.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
UPON START UP, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. FCW FAILURE NOTED ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY. ACCELERATION NON EXISTENT IN THIS STATE. SEVERAL RESTARTS (34 WAS THE MAX), NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH. CAR RAN FINE. DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A TIMING CHAIN THAT HAD EXPANDED. SEEMS TO BE FIXED. (ONLY BEEN TWO DAYS). I THINK IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LACK OF POWER COULD MANIFEST ITSELF AT ANY TIME. IMAGINE GETTING ON A HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER TO ACCELERATE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
OVER TIME, DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUN VISORS NO LONGER FOLD UP FLUSH WITH CEILING. THEY INSTEAD SAG; PARTIALLY BLOCKING DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY HINGE SYSTEM THAT, WITH REPEATED USE, BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE VISOR.

CAR HAS ISSUES STARTING AND WITH 60K MILES ONLY. THERE MIGHT BE A DEFECTIVE BATTERY SENSOR OR STARTER. ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND BATTERY CHECKED WITH NO ISSUES. IGNITION WILL NEED TO BE TURNED A FEW TIMES BEFORE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP. NO LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD INDICATING ANY ISSUES MECHANICALLY. SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS MY VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED REGULARLY AND SERVICED BY HONDA. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP AND OTHER TIMES IT TAKES 3 TO 5 TURNS ON THE IGNITION FOR THE CAR TO START.

AFTER EXPERIENCING HARD STARTING WHERE KEY WOULD NOT ACTIVATE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE FINALLY WOULD NOT START. AFTER DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATION, THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED STARTER SOLENOID AND STARTER MOTOR WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. STARTER MOTOR ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 42,000 MILES SHOULD NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. HONDA HAS A LARGER ISSUE WITH STARTER MOTORS IN MY OPINION. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT WOULD NOT START.

ISSUE WITH PUSH BUTTON START. STARTED EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PUSHING BUTTON, CAR WON'T START. TYPICALLY HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN AND CAR STARTS. NOW, HOWEVER, IT IS TAKING A FEW TO SEVERAL TIMES OF PUSHING THE START BUTTON FOR CAR TO START. THIS CAN HAPPEN AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A MINUTE TO OVERNIGHT. THERE IS NO PATTERN. I'VE SEEN THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OWNERS OF THE '13 HONDA ACCORD WHEN I LOOK ONLINE. WHY HASN'T HONDA TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY & ISSUED A RECALL. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU GET STUCK SOMEWHERE & CAR WON'T START. (COPY/PASTE- SAME PROBLEM!!)

THERE THREE WARNING INDICATORS THAT COME ON MY DASH AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE INDICATORS ARE THE POWER STEERING SENSOR, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM AND THE VSA ENGAGED INDICATOR. I HAVE 4 FRIENDS WITH HONDA ACCORDS RANGING FROM 2013 - 2015 AND WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I TALK TO A MECHANIC AS WELL AS HONDA NO ONE KNOWS WHY THESE INDICATORS ARE ILLUMINATED. NO ISSUES CAN BE FOUND TO WHY THESE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF. THE VEHICLE STARTS IN THE AM AND THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON AND WHEN I DRIVE ABOUT 30 MILES THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY THE REMAINING TIME. THESE LIGHTS STAY ON, HIGHWAY AND STREET DRIVING AS WELL AS SITTING STATIONARY.
