STEERING
MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY JERKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STEER OUT OF CONTROL, WHAT I DO IS GRIP THE WHEEL TIGHTLY AND I'M ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL. IT'S NOT OFTEN BUT IT'S HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS TO DRAW CONCERN. IT'S ALWAYS WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR IS FACING NO STARTING ISSUES SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE DONE EVERY SINGLE MAINTAINANCE ON TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS A BULLETIN 19-034 AND NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENED IN A SMALL PARK AND I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOW. THERE IS ALWAYS SOME STARTING ISSUES OF MY HONDA ACCORD SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES EVERY YEAR. SOMETIMES THE DEALER ASK ME TO CHANGE BATTERY AND SOMETIMES THE DEALER AKSED ME TO CHANGE ALL KINDS OF FLUIDS. I HAVE CHANGED EVERY SINGLE FLUIDS, PCV VALVE, BRAKE PADS AND ROLLTERS IN THE CAR ALMOST YEARLY AND THE NO START ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. I FEEL IT TAKES ME TOO MUCH TIME AND COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR IS TOO MUCH. ALSO, IF THE TURNOFF HAPPEND ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM HESITATE TO TAKE MY KIDS IN THE CAR SINCE THE PROBLEM. VERY ANNOYING. ALSO, THE SOFTWARE PROBLEM SHOULD BE SOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER FREE BUT THEY ARE CHARGING ME EVERY SINGLE TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE CHANGED MY CARS BATTERY YEARLY SINCE 2016. IT ALWAYS HAVE A STARTING ISSUE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE CHANGED 4 BATTERIES AND THE ISSUE IS STILL COMING EVERY YEAR. LAST TIME WAS HAPPENED IN A PARK WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS. FORTUNATELY, MY SPEED WAS ONLY 20 MPH AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND CANNOT START. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I THINK THE BATTERY OF ACCORD HAS SOME PROBLEMS AS I ALWAYS CHANGE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY FROM THE DEALER. MY OTHER CARS ONLY NEED TO CHANGE BATTERY AFTER 4 TO 5 YEARS OF USE BUT MY ACCORD NEED TO CHANGE A NEW BATTERY EVERY YEAR. THERE MUST BE SOME ISSUES OF THE CAR IT SELF. IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD BE REALLY DANGEROUS.

SERVICE BRAKES
ALL THE LIGHTS ARE BASICALLY ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX WHICH INCLUDES THE BRAKE, ABS, TPS. I NOTICED THAT EVEN WHEN I HAVE NOT PRESSED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED BY THE CAR. EXPECIALLY IN LOW/IDLE SPEEDS. THIS RESULTS IN ME HABVING TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND RESULTS IN A ROUGH RIDE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TODAY 4/1/2021. DEALER STATES THE CAR HAS A FAULTY VSA MODULATOR AND QUOTED $1400 FOR THE PART (57110-T2FA17) AND $510 FOR THE LABOR. ALSO SAID THE THEY NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKE FLUID AND REPLACE IT. AND THIS SAME PART WAS REPLACED BACK ON 11/5/2014. THIS CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY ACTIVE RECALL, BUT THE VSA MODULATOR HAS NOW FAILED TWICE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 4/20/2013. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS HONDA RECALLED SEVERAL OTHER MODELS AND YEARS FOR THE VSA MODULATOR. I HAVE ATTACHED SOME OF OTHER RECALLS THAT AFFECTED THE VSA MODULATOR

MY CHMSL LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AFTER 108,220 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY QUOTED $258.99 FOR PARTS AND $500.00 FOR LABOR TO REPLACE THE HIGH MOUNT 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO GET THE CAR FIXED WHO TOLD ME THAT FACTORY-INSTALLED LED CHMSL HAD ITS QUICK CONNECTOR WITHOUT A STOP TAB THEREFORE THE WIRE WAS PULLED OUT FROM THE QUICK CONNECTOR. I HAD TO PAY $250.00 FOR TOTAL REPAIRS TO REPLACE LED CHMSL. THE MECHANIC ALSO MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THE PART WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE INTENTIONALLY AS IT HAD SOME PERMANENT MARKINGS ON THE LED FIXTURE. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE LED FIXTURE WAS FUNCTIONAL EXCEPT FOR THE DEFECTIVE LOCKING TAB FOR THE CONNECTOR. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE QUALITY CONTROL AND MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

THESE 2013 EARTH DREAMS HONDA ENGINES NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH BAD PISTON RINGS IN THIS ENGINES THAT CAUSE OVER EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH CAN LEAD UP TO ENGINE SEIZURE. HONDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WHICH IS AFFECTING MANY 2013 OWNERS. MECHANICS HAVE MADE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE STATING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO GET THESE ENGINES RECALLED SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND UPWARDS OF 5000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES WHEN THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BY HONDA. YOU NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES.
