STARTER FAILED, AND WE WERE STRANDED AT THE NEW MARKET POST OFFICE FOR AN HOUR. THE BATTERY IS GOOD, BUT HONDA MECHANIC SAID THE STARTER IS FAILING. WE REPLACED THE STARTER ENGINE, AND THE CAR STARTS UP GOOD EVERY TIME. IT COST $515 TO REPLACE STARTER ENGINE. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR DEFECT, BECAUSE THE CAR IS PAST WARRANTY.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD 4 DOOR WAS WORKING GREAT. UNTIL I TOOK IT FOR A BATTERY CENSOR RECALL AT. HONDA OF ROCK HILL,SC IN DECEMBER 2017. MY KEYLESS SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. BATTERY ON CAR WAS REPLACED AND BATTERY ON KEYS WERE REPLACED AS WELL. TOOK IT TO HONDA OF ROCK HILL, ON 2/2018, THEY STATED IT WAS THE STARTER.?? WENT ON YOUTUBE AND INTERNET AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT TO 2013 HONDA ACCORDS. BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALLED. CALLED AND OPEN A CASE WITH HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF STARTER FAILED WAS CAUSED BY RECALL. CALLED DEALER AND TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DETERMINE IF FAILED OF STARTER WAS CAUSED BY CHANGING OF PART IN RECALLED.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I OWN TWO HONDA ACCORDS, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD (VIN [XXX]) AND A 2013 HONDA ACCORD VIN [XXX]). BOTH ACCORDS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS AS NEEDING AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS. I FINALLY RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL HONDA RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THIS PAST FRIDAY, 2/23/18. I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL TO FIX THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAG(S). I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED BOTH CARS NEW AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A RECALL "AT SOME FUTURE POINT" FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD, BUT THE SERVICE ADVISOR I SPOKE TO COULD NOT BE MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT. IN DECEMBER, 2017 THERE WERE NO AIRBAG RECALLS FOR EITHER HONDA ACCORD ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I JUST CHECKED AGAIN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AND NOTHING FOR AIRBAGS. THE RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD SPECIFICALLY STATES: "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED." OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS STUFF. I HAVE RECEIVED NO ADVISORIES AND NO SAFETY ADVICE OR PRECAUTIONS FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION / AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING FRONT PASSENGERS OR STEPS TO TAKE TO AVOID INJURY IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IN THE MEANTIME (OR UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS OFFICIALLY ORDERED). IF THESE TAKAKA AIRBAGS ARE A KNOWN DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND THESE AIRBAGS CAN KILL OR INJURE PASSENGERS, AND MY 2010 HONDA JUST RECEIVED IT'S RECALL NOW, IN FEBRUARY, 2018 - WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE THE RECALL ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD? 2021?I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE MY 2013 BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM, OTHER DEALERS WILL NOT TOUCH THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO FORCE HONDA TO ADVISE OWNERS TO GIVE A PROJECTED DATE FOR A RECALL AND WHAT TO DO UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS ORDERED / AVAILABLE. THANK-YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2013 ACCORD FAILS TO START WHEN USING EITHER PUSH BUTTON START OR DEALER INSTALLED REMOTE START. ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER, ONLY A GRINDING SOUND IS PRODUCED. IT CAN TAKE AS MANY AS 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS TO START BEFORE THE STARTER WILL ACTUALLY ENGAGE AND START THE ENGINE. STARTER REPLACED IN ACCORDANCE WITH HONDA TSB 16-002, BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES. ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 40K MILES AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR LAST 18 -24 MONTHS AND IS GETTING WORSE. THIS OCCURS IN BOTH WARM AND COLD WEATHER, AND WITH EITHER A HOT OR COLD ENGINE. CAR NOW ONLY HAS 64K MILES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING MODEL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATES IT IS NO LONGER A EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION. THE PROBLEM IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND/OR A SUDDEN INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT AND DEALER IDENTIFIED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACEMENT FOR A TOTAL OF $2100.00. FOR A "NEW" CAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD BE HONDA'S FIX NOT THE COSTUMER.

" STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED" MY 2013 ACCORD ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES AND HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO START- I THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE RECENT BATTERY RECALL.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO DRIVE TO WORK, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE CUT OFF, I ALMOST HIT A FIRE HYDRANT. I DROVE 0.3 MILES, I WAS AT THE RED LIGHT ,ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE CUT OFF AGAIN. THE STEERING GOT LOCKED AND I COUDLN'T POSITION THE VEHICLE. EVER SINCE THE RECALL WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE REGARDING THE BATTERY ISSUE, I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM, IT'S EITHER I JUMP START TODAY, OR THE CAR WONT START. I WAS TOLD THEY DIDNT TOUCH NOTHNG IN THE VEHICLE. HONDA CLAIM THE VEHICLE IS OKAY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN BLOCKING THE VIEW AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE CLAIMING TO SHOW HOW TO REPAIR IT. HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE VISORS WHEN THEY MALFUNCTION. NHTSA IS DERELICT IF IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM! THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY ACTION ON THE PART OF THE DRIVER.

THE CAR HAS GRADUALLY REQUIRED NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 12 AND ON SOME OCCASIONS REQUIRED A JUMP TO START FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THAT TIME. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING ON 1-15-18 REVEALED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SPECIFICALLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

I NOTICED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT FIRST ATTEMPT AND TODAY (01-25-18) MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD FAILED TO START COMPLETELY. I HAVE ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT AND I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN SINCE THE CAR IS NOT VERY OLD. NOW I HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $900 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE A NEW STARTER IS NEEDED. HOPEFULLY, THE CAR WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY LOCAL LIBRARY SO NO ACCIDENTS HAPPENED. THE ONLY REASON I HAVE THIS CAR IS FOR ITS RELIABILITY BUT NOW I HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS.

WHEN TRYING TO START, IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND, DOESN'T TURN OVER AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER. REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT DIDN'T HELP. SOMETIMES, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT MAY START, BUT NOT USUALLY. WENT ON "HONDA BLOG" AND FOUND SEVERAL SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. SOME BELIEVE IT MAY BE A STARTER DEFECT.
