I WENT TO CRANK MY CAR, WHICH WAS PERFECTLY FINE YESFERDAY , AND IT WONT TURN OVER AND THERE ARE SEVERAL LIGHTS ON AND CLICKING AND BLINKING. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY AND TRIED TO JUMP IT OFF AND NOTHING CHANGED. A SYMBOL THAT LOOKS LIKE A STEERING WHEEL AND EXCLAMATION POINT, LOW TIRE LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, AND SKID CONTROL SYMBOLS WERE ALL ON.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP TWICE AFTER A DASH LIGHT CAME ON. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A CRASH BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO STOP. TO GET THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF RESTART IT AND IT WOULD WORK PROPERLY AGAN. THIS IS A V6 ACCORD AND HAS APPROX 38000 MILES ON IT WELL MAINTAINED. PLEASE HELP THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH IF LOCKS UP ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. NOTE THAT I WAS MAKING LEFT TURNS BOTH TIMES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2013 ACCORD SPORT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY STARTING FOR MONTHS WHEN STATIONARY. I CHANGED THE BATTERY TO A STRONGER CRANKING ONE AND IT DID NOT FIX IT ALTHOUGH NOW IT WILL START EVENTUALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. I HAVE TESTED THE ALTERNATOR AND IT PASSED. NEXT IS THE STARTER BUT HONDA CHANGED ITS LOCATION AND PLACED IT UNDER THE MOTOR. I SUBMITTED LINKS FROM A HONDA FORUM TO THIS WEBSITE DOCUMENTING MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHETHER THEY DRIVE LX, EX, OR SPORT. CVT MANUAL IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE STARTER AND THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IF THAT'S THE ISSUE. THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS ALSO POPPING UP WITH 2013 ACCORDS NOT STARTING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS ISSUE STARED LAST WEEK I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ON THIS BUT AS THE DAYS GOES ON IT TAKE LONGER FOR ME TO START MY CAR AND ME DAY I HAVE TO STOP AT LEASE 2 TO 4 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START. AS I CONTINUE TO SEARCH ONLINE TO SEE WHAT WAS THE ISSUE I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE OF THIS PROBLEM OF WHAT I AM HAVING. MY CAR HAS BEEN PARKED AND THERE IS NO WIRES CONNECTED TO THE CAR TO DRAIN THE BATTERY, I HAVE CHANGE BOTH MY CAR BATTERY IN MY KEY BATTERY ALREADY. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING I'VE BEEN USING HONDA FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. WITH MY OTHER PASS HONDA I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY.

STEERING
THERE WAS TOTAL POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DOING PARALLEL PARKING TWICE IN AN HOUR TODAY (5/30/2016). IT TOO MUCH EFFORT TO TURN EVEN A LITTLE. WE WERE LUCKY WE WERE NOT ON HIGHWAY OR STREET. RESTARTING THE CAR SEEMED TO RESOLVE FIRST FAILURE. SECOND FAILURE CORRECTED ITSELF UPON DRIVING COUPLE OF FEET. NOW, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR TILL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED AS IT MAY RESULT IN CRASH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
CAR WON'T START,ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BOUGHT A 2013 HONDA ACCORD EXL V6, IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, BUT SOON AFTER THAT I STARTED EXPERIENCING STARTING PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC MANY TIMES, I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED, REPLACED STARTER, THE BATTERY ETC. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY WIDE SPREAD, THERE ARE SEVERAL YOU TUBE VIDEOS, AND POSTS OF FRUSTRATED OWNERS UNABLE TO START THEIR CARS CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE THE STARTED IN MOST CASES. EVERY CAR FROM 2013-2016 IS SUFFERING FROM THIS PROBLEM, OF BEING UNABLE TO START, AS A COLLEGE STUDENT I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO CONSTANTLY FIX IT AS IT HAPPENS. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR, TO REPLACE MY OLD CAR WHICH WAS DEVELOPING MAJOR PROBLEMS, BUT AT LEAST THE CAR STARTED EVERY TIME. PLEASE, ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH URGENCY MANY PEOPLE DEPEND ON THESE VEHICLES, TO GET TO WORK SCHOOL ETC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY FAMILY AND I WERE STRANDED DUE TO OUR 2013 HONDA ACCORD NOT STARTING. WE JUST CAME OUT OF THE MOVIES AND THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE KEY AND IT WOULD JUST CLICK. I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING AND OVER $800 TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED AT THE HONDA DEALER. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE, BUT I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY PRICE MATCHED THE STARTER. I DRIVE A LOT OF MILE TO WORK SO I HAVE OVER 60K MILES IN 2 YEARS. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE PROBLEM CAN BE SEEN ON FORUMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO AFFECTS NEW CARS, BASE MODELS, PUSH BUTTONS, V6'S ETC. I THINK THE STARTER SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO REPLACE STARTERS THAT THE DEALER SEEMED TO KNOW WAS BAD.

MY 2013 ACCORD IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON. THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN ONE WEEK OUR CAR HAD TROUBLE STARTING. IT WOULD MAKE A SOUND OF HESITATION BEFORE STARTING FOR 3-5 SECONDS. WE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED THIS PAST WINTER. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR A CHECK ON THE ELECTRICAL AND STARTING SYSTEMS. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO NOT START IN ORDER FOR HONDA TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG.
