ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
THREE MALFUNCTION INDICATORS HAVE COME ON IN CAR AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THOSE INDICATORS ARE TPMS TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, VSA VEHICLE STABILITY ASSITS AND EPS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THIS ONLY BEGAN AFTER I HAD MY BRAKES IN REAR OF CAR DONE AND CAR WAS ACTUALLY STATIONARY WHEN THESE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITH REALLY NO CHANGE IN DRIVING. I HAVE GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE
AT 5 YEARS OLD MY HONDA ACCORD WILL NOW ONLY START ON THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL POWER ON BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME SEVERAL TIMES/MINUTES TO START. I HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY $176 & NOW THE KEY FOBS TOO AND THIS STILL OCCURRED. THIS HAS 411,000 RESULTS IF GOOGLED. THIS IS VERY COMMON ALTHOUGH HONDA CONTINUES TO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN MONITERING MY OIL LEVEL CONSUMPTION AND FOR ABOUT 3 DIFFERENT OIL CHANGES (6200-6400 MILE INTERVALS). MY DASH SHOWS 40% OIL LIFE REMAINING BUT WHEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK THERE IS NO OIL ON IT AT ALL. IT'S BONE DRY. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OR LEAKS EITHER. THE CAR IS BURNING THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN ASKED HONDA THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR OR MY OF OTHER HONDA. AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON UNTIL I APPLY THE BRAKES HARDER THAN USUAL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2013 ACCORD. ORIGINAL BATTERY DIED SEPTEMBER 2016 - REPLACED BATTERY AGAIN JULY 2018. BEGINNING IN MAY 2018 TURN THE KEY AND LIGHTS COME ON BUT ENGINE DOESN'T CRANK. IT TAKES 2 OR 3 TRIES THEN CRANKS AND STARTS LIKE NORMAL. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA BRAND. THEY WERE KNOW FOR RELIABILITY - NO LONGER! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HONDA TO ANYONE I KNOW LOOKING FOR A CAR.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN LEFT, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I NEEDED TO USE A LOT OF FORCE IN ORDER TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE CAR. WHEN STOPPED, I STILL COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, BUT IT COULD BE SPUN TO THE RIGHT CONTINUOUSLY LIKE IT WASN'T CONNECTED TO ANYTHING. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. THEY ARE REPLACING THE STEERING GEAR BOX BUT IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $3,000. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY IN THAT I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND DRIVING SLOWLY, AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR WHILE GOING AT A HIGHER SPEED.

STEERING
THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING EPS WARNING LIGHT , COUPLED WITH STEERING WHEEL STIFF RESISTANCE, OCCURRED DURING SEVERAL RANDOM EVENTS OVER THE LAST FOUR DAYS - ONCE THE FIRST DAY 30 MPH ON RURAL ROAD, TWICE THE SECOND AT 50 AND 30 MPH ON HIGHWAY THEN RURAL ROAD, FOUR TIMES YESTERDAY WITHIN THOSE SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS, THEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AT 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTARTING, ONLY TEMPORARILY CLEARED THE ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATELY DRIVING DURING THE EVENTS, AND NOT ALLOWING MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO EVEN CONSIDER HANDLING. TIGHT TURNS WERE NOT POSSIBLE - PERIOD. THE DEALERSHIP, UPON COMPLETING DIAGNOSTICS TODAY, DETERMINED THE STEERING BOX/RACK AND PINION WERE THE SOURCE OF FAILURE. WITH <59,000 MILES, SPOTLESS RECORD OF MAINTENANCE AT THIS ORIGINAL DEALER, AND NEVER ABUSED, THIS TYPE OF EITHER MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE, AS WELL A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. I REVIEWED 158 COMMENTS/CASES ON CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITES, SPECIFIC TO HONDA ACCORD 2013 MODELS WITH SIMILAR EPS/STEERING BOX ISSUES. DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, WHERE A PASSENGER IS PRESENTED A NON-RESPONSIVE STEERING EVENT, WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED BY HONDA MANAGEMENT, NOR ANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES. STATISTICALLY, THIS APPEARS A DESIGN FLAW IS THE APPARENT ISSUE, AND REPLACEMENT-IN-KIND IN MY LOGIC DOESN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT MY EXPENSE. IN MY AREA OF EXPERTISE IN CRUDE REFINING, ANY FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A MECHANICALLY SOUND PIECE OF WELL-MAINTAINED EQUIPMENT. IF A STEERABLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LOST POWER IN OUR FACILITY, COMPANY RESOURCES AND FOCUSED TEAMS, SAFETY AUDITS, AND POSSIBLY OSHA OVERSIGHT WOULD ENSUE. I'LL BE CONTACTING HONDA WITH THE NEWS THAT I CANNOT FURTHER SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCTS DESIGNED WITH EPS. *TR

ENGINE
SINCE I HAD THE CAR WHEN I PUSHED THE START BUTTON THE CAR MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND WOULD NOT START. I FIGURED IT WAS THE STARTER AND DEALT WITH IT. I RECENTLY HAD MY BRAKES FIXED AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FLY WHEEL. I LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. THERE IF OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PART. THE SERVICE BULLITN WAS ISSUED IN 2013 SO MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY. I BOUGHT 2 2013 HONDAS I'M HOPING HONDA WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. I HAVE AN APPT MONDAY AT THE DEALER [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
