2013 HONDA Accord

The car pulls hard to the left all the time. This occurrence has been reported by many others, but Honda has yet to issue a recall. My mechanic says Honda ran out of a regular front-end part and substituted an inferior part on some models over several model years. I have developed shoulder problems requiring surgery from fighting to keep the car in the lane for so long now. I fear it is just a matter of time before this issue causes death or dismemberment, if it hasn’t already.

Last week, I experienced steering issues and brought my car to the dealership in Dartmouth, MA.

My VIN # is associated with the Warranty Extension EPS Torque Sensor but my car did not populate the codes associated with this warranty, just like many complaints I have seen online. I am now responsible to pay $3,000 out of pocket for this service.

I contacted the manufacturer today. Honda said because my car did not pull the codes they can’t do anything for me.

The dealership did let me know my car is unsafe to drive as I could lose control at any time.

The dealership let me know I needed my power steering gear box replaced.

A few days after the recall work was completed the car would not start when I pressed the start button. It went into accessory mode instead of starting. Every day since then it has intermittently started after several attempts. It sometimes requires four, five or more attempts to start the engine. We replaced the battery on May 4, 2019. The intermittent starts continue. I found several internet sites that list other 2013 Honda Accord owners experiencing the same problem with no positive

Unexplainable / unwarranted variably loud roaring sound appearing to come from rear wheel / back of vehicle and seems to be louder at faster rates of speed such as highway speed limits as well as in combination related to the sharpness of, if any, turns encountered.

Sun visor driver side broke and didn\\\\\\\'t stay up.

VSM brakes modulator failed as soon as I bought it and paid fix 1600.
I\'ve found the modulator wire made by soybeans and rabit or mouse bited it and broke it. The car company must promiss for safe to the driver and it happens by maker\'s failure that made by soybeans to involve the animal chewed to threaten safety.

I have spent more than the $184.25 in total. In 3 separate attempts to resolve the soy based wiring attracting rodents/rabbits issue, the issue continually persists with no relief in sight. I\'ve even spent over $300 on a separate occasion to have a Honda dealer try to tape up as much of the wiring harness as possible, but to no avail. The rabbits/squirrels/rodents have chewed through that! These car manufacturers that have opted to use the soy based coating are solely responsible for this mess that millions of car owners across the country are facing. It is NOT right for any of us to PAY out of pocket for their shortsightedness.

Mouse nest discovered in engine area. Malfunction light came on due to mouse chewing through tubes to the gas tank. Needs a new gas tank to fix the problem.

2013 Honda Accord uses oil on an erratic basis in between oil changes. Since it does not consume more than 1 quart every 1,000 miles Honda refuses to do anything. I have 74,000 miles and between 2,000 and 3,000 mile range oil consumed is equal to or exceeds 1 quart. Last oil change the accord only had 1 quart remaining in the engine. I purchased extended warranty to 125,000 miles.
I have purchased several Honda\'s in the past since 1987 but will never again due to lack of customer care.

The car started excessively consuming oil once it passed 60,000 miles on the odometer. It appears to be burning oil at a rate of 1/2 quart per 1,000 miles.

My car is consuming oil

My car keeps on burning threw a lot of engine oil. Just yesterday I heard the car make a weird noise so I checked under the hood and everything looked fine but when I checked the dipstick it was empty, what makes it weird is that it still has about 50% of the oil life left. I had to add 4 quarts to it, This is not right, What should I do

The light came on a few hundred miles before a tire blew out. I considered the tear in the side-wall of the tire before the blow to be the likely cause of the TPMS light on (losing pressure). After a brand new set of four (4) tires, no matter how many times I try to re-calibrate the TPMS, or check the tire pressure myself, or take the car to the tire shop to check the pressures, the light remains on no matter what. This is an on-going issue that occurs every day, under all driving conditions.

TPMS Warning Light stays On, tire pressure has no problem

The head restraint on this car causes extreme pain. Stiffening of the neck causes my ability to turn left and right after 5 mins of driving. Lumbar support is insufficient and causes lower back pain along with numbness of my legs. These issues lead me to believe that the FRONT SEATS on this car are a safety risk. They should be replaced.

The drivers seat is built is such a way that is is the cause of sever back pain.

I have a 2013 Honda Accord lease with 17,000 miles on it. I was told today that the reason my air conditioner does not work is because of two holes in the condenser caused by stones/road debris. The cost to fix this issue is approx. $600.00. This repair is not covered by the 36/36,000 mile warranty. After doing some research I have found that Honda was sued in 2012 (Alin v American Honda Co., Inc.) regarding this issue and yet no fix seems to have been implemented. It appears the condenser is very close to the grill allowing debris to enter through the grill and cause damage. I could fix this today and have it happen again on the way home and were I stupid enough spend another $600.00 to fix it. It seems Honda does not want to re-design and spend their money but have no problem taking mine. This is my last Honda!!

the seats on this car terrible. i cant sit in this car for more than a half hour or my back, legs and buttock start to hurt. the seat is too narrow for wide shouldered people. My shoulders stick past the seat and i get pain in my shoulders because they get pinched by the hard, narrow seats. the lumber support is horrible because it sticks into my back and causes pain. the seat bottom is very hard and my buttock goes numb if i sit on it for more than a half hour. Honda should at least make power seats standard with multiple settings because these seats are hurting people. i would never take this car across country because these seats are like sitting on cinder blocks. Honda should at least offer chiropractic seat cushions as options to buy so a customer doesn’t have to suffer. Someone is going to get a blood clot from these horrible seat designs as well as many people willing be visiting a chiropractor.

After about 2 and a half hours of driving, my butt and leg would hurt unbearably, to the point of me twisting and turning to get comfortable. I would pull over at a rest stop, walk around for 10 – 15 mins, but about 90mins of driving later the pain is back again. This happens in both front seats. I dont know about the back seats as yet. I like the car, but this is terrible.

Driver’s seat is causing so much pain I cannot drive, wake up in pain.

I’m in my early 20’s and recently developed a searing pain in my lower back that would strike even when I am lying motionless. I still wouldn’t have a clue about why it was hurting until another Honda Accord owner (2015) told me he had the same issue and figured out it was the seats!

I bought the Sacro Ease seat adapter from Relax the Back ($269) and it fixed my problem immediately.

Honda should notify the public of the health risks, replace both the driver and passenger seat, and pay for some sort of therapy.

The seat/headrest is the main issue. It pushes my head to far forward and makes it very comfortable to drive. I love my car except for the seat/headrest. I am considering trading in the car for something different or replacing the headrest and/or seat. Though I feel after buying the car new and opting for the model with extra adjustable seat I should not have to. I believe the long-term implications for this issue, as it appears to be a common problem with many of the newer cars, is that people will remove or modify their headrest creating an unsafe restraint system during an accident.

Radio has with interference noise and fading of radio signal

Head rest on seats is very uncomfortable, feels like you need to keep your head down while driving.
We decided to remove the head rest, even thou it is a safety feature

The vehicle since new & delivery has had a slight vibration which has gotten worse.I returned the vehicle to the dealer and a front wheel bearing was replaced. The vibration has continued. I took the vehicle to a different Honda dealer who stated. they all have that vibration. I called the Honda company and was told they have a problem with the transmission . They do not have a fix at this time. If something is discovered to correct the problem they will contact me?? It feels somewhat like snowtires on all four wheels. Or driving on small rumble strips. Can you help me. The vehicle has less than 5000 miles.Vibration is very noticeable in the steering wheel.( When I was making a previous compl. after I entered my vin # the screen closed out??)
NOTE: I started a previous compl. and after I entered my veh number the screen closed out???

I have developed severe neck and back aches due to the design of the drivers seat. I have adjusted the seat in everyway possible and in just two weeks, I can’t move my neck properly due to this problem

See failures

Shortly after purchasing my 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L w/NAV, I started having severe and lingering back pain. It is NOT POSSIBLE to adjust the drivers seat into a comfortable driving position. Within 10 minutes, legs/hips begin to go numb, fatigue forms in arms. Constant adjusting and re-adjusting the 8-way seat does no good, especially when driving down the freeway. This is an accident waiting to happen. Even with the lumbar feature disengaged, there is a constant pressure on the lower back and the seat itself seems too small for an average adult (5’7″, 188 lbs). At the 400 mile mark, I returned to the dealer with my complaint and asked them to buy the car back from me. They offered approximately $5,500 less than I paid 7 days earlier when I purchased it. Unable to absorb such a loss, the car now sits in my garage and is rarely driven. I have never suffered with back pain of any kind. I have had to take ALEVE since the pain often lingers long after you’ve exited the vehicle. I traded in my 2004 HONDA ACCORD which was the most comfortable car I’ve driven, never had a complaint. But this new model has seats that are simply unacceptable. HONDA has to recognize this and make good on this purchase. The salesman denied ever hearing of this type of complaint, but the internet is full of sites devoted to this exact complaint, so I know he’s heard it all before. I have gone so far as to investigate the possibility of changing out the front seats with an after-market set. After spending $33,000+ for a new car, that doesn’t seem right somehow.

Seat back is shaped like the letter “C” and forces a person’s back into an un-natural shape. Shoulder blades and pelvis are pushed forward with the middle back not having any support unless you are a hunchback. Front seat head restraints are canted forward at an extreme angle causing the head to be pushed forward with the chin close to the chest. A very uncomfortable position for longer than a ten minute drive.

This car has push button start. Can be stopped in any gear and I forgot to put in park and I went to get out and the car was drifting. Also has front collision warning, lane change etc. and the warnings are so low you can not hear them. This car is not safe for my age group of 67 and 71. I bought the car thinking it was going to be safe and we can not hear the warnings. Very disappointed. Honda says the warnings can not be turned up.

I have not listed a repair cost, as Honda deny’s that this is a problem. I purchased a 2013 Honda Accord after my former car was rear ended and I suffered severe whiplash and back pain. As a result of this I did not realize the poor design of the seat, and more specifically the head rests. In my test drive lasting 10 – 15 minutes I did not notice it, but after two weeks of ownership and driving the car 1 hour each way to and from work, I have noticed that the head rest sticks out so far that it is impossible to get comfortable in the car, and additionally, it hurt the thoracic portion of my middle back. I know this, because although I am still in physical therapy, on the weekend when I don’t drive the car my back hurts much less than it does during the week when I make my commute to work. Additionally this weekend my wife was a passenger in the car for a long drive and she suffered from the same pain that I suffered from. It is so bad, we had to cut our trip short. I contacted the dealer ship where I purchased the car and they stated that this is not a defect but a requirement by the US government. Therefore I am contacting you concerning help in resolving this issue.

Odometer fraud. the contact purchased a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that upon having the vehicle appraised to sell the vehicle, a carfax report discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. the vehicle was a private sale. at the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was approximately 120,000; however, according to the carfax report, as of october 2024, the vehicle mileage was approximately 217,000.

Vsa/abs module has gone bad. loss of emergency braking

This is to inform you i made an appointment for 2/20/2021 with my local honda dealership one week prior based on the recall letter received from your office. i was was physically there, i was told by one of the advisor that they ran out of parts. no future appointment were made by the dealership. not sure what is means but this was written under comments :da212407, from the "complimentary multi point inspection" form. personal arrangements were made to leave my car based on my convenience; the road conditions were very icy and treacherous to get there; my ride back home was waiting in the parking lot. after going through the process of checking in my car and leaving the dealership, then i received a phone call from one of the employees (yvonne) they could not accommodate me. in addition, i called your vehicle safety hotline yesterday 2//02/20/2021 to report this but your office was closed. i am very disappointed in the customer service i experienced. thank you for your anticipated cooperation with this matter.

2013 honda accord v6exl starter makes grinding noise when being started. sometimes takes multiple trys to finally turn over and start engine. brought to dealership but they said they could not replicate the issue. only offered to replace entire starter system for $900.

Basically, my complaint is that i don't feel that my starter should have to be replaced at 36,000 miles... i have only had the car for 9 months.. i also had to replace the front pads and rotors too.. basically totalling $640. in parts and 360. in labor.. i bought it directly from the dealership.. it has the push button start and it put out a 'grinding sound' when i went to start it, then the front bakes started squeaking also..

The windshield washer motor stopped working.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that after the vehicle was parked, the vehicle could not be restarted. the battery and the electronic starter were replaced several times however, the failure persisted. an unknown dealer was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

My car abs system proplem.

Excess vibration and oil consumption due to vcm operation. vcm also makes the transmission search for gears while driving at a steady speed

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the steering wheel went to the right and was difficult to turn. the brake pedal was depressed however, was slow to respond. the vehicle was taken to honda of bridgewater (1201 us-22, bridgewater township, nj 08807 (908) 722-5566) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the steering needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 64,000. invalid vin.

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.

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle veered to the left inadvertently. the contact initially thought that the issue was because of the wind. the steering wheel then ceased. the vehicle was towed to hosmer honda (3825 4th st sw, mason city, ia 50401) and diagnosed with power steering failure. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unavailable.

My 2013 accord sport suddenly veered left on it's own and i hit a telephone pole breaking it in half. the air bags did not deploy. the car is a total loss and i am injured. i was driving in a straight line when this happened.

On tuesday, may 3, 2021, my car suddenly vered to the left and i had turn my steering wheel excessivley (about 90 degrees) to get my car back into my lane. if there would have been a car next to i would have hit it someone or something. i suddenly was hearing a crackling noise from my steering column. i drove my car a couple of more times before i took it to roush honda in westerville on 5/12/2021. when i took my cari explained the previous situation and told the gentleman that the noise in the steering column was getting louder and louder and he said i was getting charged $99 to find out what the noise is about and what was going on. on 5/13/2021, the service depart. called to let me know that it was an alignment issue and said nothing about the noise. i asked them what about the noise and she said there was nothing on the service write up about a noise. so i asked for a manager. when the manager called, max wagner, he tried to tell me that the noise was coming from the tire and axle and not the steering column. you can clearely hear the noise coming from the inside of the car and steering column. i have a lifetime alignment with firestone and take my car on a regular and responsible basis. honda is clearly giving me a run around and is avoiding to fix the issue that is clearly a part manufacturing defect. can this be investigated by your agency?

Different door lock actuators have been replaced multiple times since original ownership in 2012. power lock suddenly does not actuate with remote nor driver side control. only physical actuation of lock engages or disengages lock

Steering wheel turns left by itself when vehicle is stationary and ignition is first turn on and vehicle violently jerks hard left without any fair warning almost ripping steering wheel out of hands and takes me into opposite lane of highway when in motion driving down the road.

Car steering wheel turns all the way right on its own. you have to use force in order to correct the cars path of travel. steering issue occurred in our driveway with the engine running and we were backing. the issue continue when we placed the car in drive.

When attempting to start car , you can hear grinding noise, car fails to start , have to attempt several times to have the car to start, the procces to start car gets worse by every attempt

The steering began pulling to the left. the alignment was examined and adjusted without fixing the problem. i lifted the front of the vehicle off the ground, started the engine and the steering turned slowly by itself to the full left stop. took the vehicle to the honda dealer for repair. they reset the error codes and examined everything. upon leaving the dealer repair depot the steering pulled very hard to the left. i returned and complained. the manager helped out and contacted honda factory support. a 4 wheel alignment was performed and adjusted to factory specs. the electronic steering system was fully reset and reprogrammed. this seemed to fix the problem. about 1 month later the steering system began to act erratically and continues to do so. sometimes when turning a corner the steering system pulls in the direction of the turn, right or left. sometimes it acts normally. all oddities seem to related to accelleration and braking. when driving in a straight line there is no deviation left or right however it is always harder to turn the wheel left than right.

This morning noticed the steering felt a little stiff. i started driving down the street and it would randomly pull to the left hard.. all of a sudden it would yank the car left into the other lane. vehicle has not been to the dealership yet.. just saw this on the news the other evening

When i'm driving, my car will periodically steer itself to the right unless i forcefully hold the steering wheel against the direction it's trying to turn. this issue can also occur when idling at say a red light, or stop sign. this puts mine and others safety at risk because at any point my car could steer itself into another car without input. i have taken the vehicle to the authorized honda dealer in my city and was told that it was an "alignment" issue. funny thing is, i went ahead and got an alignment when purchasing new tires a few weeks later and on my way home the issue happened numerous times (with videos to prove it) and continues to happen to this day. my vehicle gave no warning or messages prior to the issue happening. this has been an ongoing issue for close to two years now so i'm very happy to see that the news that this is an issue that the nhtsa is probing. honda insinuating that this is an alignment issue is an insult to mine, and my families safety.

Steering began pulling hard to the left within a relatively short space of time, 2-3 days. after checking the tire pressure on all four tires and discovering no variants, we knew there was a serious problem! our safety and that of others was at risk! the problem was confirmed when the local honda dealer said they could not perform an alignment on our vehicle until the steering system was fixed. then, in order to make the vehicle safe to drive, the dealer said our only option was to replace the rack and pinion/power steering system in order to make it possible to align the wheels on the car. the dealer replaced said components on april 6, 2021. the component in question was not inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. however, it was inspected by our dealership who replaced the faulty steering system. there was no warning of any type before the steering began pulling to the left! we were surprised that this should happen with a honda and especially one with less than 100,000 miles.

The steering turns left. as soon as you start you car, with hands off the steering wheel the entire steering system turns left. opened 2 cases with honda and no response. case # 11941086 and 12222896. hillside honda informs us that the codes don't show up so the only thing they can do is replace the steering gearbox and alignment for a customer cost of $3592 + tax. this was a sudden onset incident, no accident to the car. it is a safety hazard and honda refuses to do anything about it.

Backup camera not working. sporadically. can’t see pedestrians or other vehicles or objects. this is strong safety issue. car was designed to use it. can’t visually see without it. almost hit child on bike, and other pedestrians. honda had recall on 2018 accord for this, but not 2013. have read of many, many others this model and exact problem..

Car pulls to the right, actually will jerk the steering wheel out of your hands. only at low speeds and very intermittent. dealership said i must have hit something and i didn’t. cost to fix is more than the vehicle is worth. i believe this is a manufacturing defect.

Driving 40-45 miles per hour when steering felt unstable. pulled in to parking lot when steering wheel symbol came on, car was very hard to steer at this point. total loss of power steering. no damage or injury.

Intermittent activation of vehicle stability assist, electrical power steering, and tire pressure monitoring system lights. diagnosed as yaw rate sensor failure requiring replacement of anti-lock braking system modulator.

The effort required to make a turn is very inconsistent and can change abruptly in the middle of the turn. for example, while making a left-hand turn, the steering wheel can, without warning, jerk back to the right. while this has primarily occurred at lower speeds, it has been severe enough that it has almost caused us to not make our turn and as a result nearly run off the road, or into a curb or into vehicle next to us (pulling into a parking spot). to be honest, only good luck can be credited for the fact we haven't gotten into an accident up to this point. as stated before, this issue primarily occurs at slower speeds (< 30 mph), and while we've been fortunate enough that we've been able to recover from the momentary loss of control, if this issue were to occur at higher speeds or in a traffic-dense area, there is a very real possibility of a serious accident occurring. none of the vehicle's warning lights have ever indicated that there is an issue with the power steering system. out of concern, the car was taken to a honda dealership where they were able to reproduce the issue and recommended replacement of the entire steering rack and control unit at a cost of several thousand dollars. as we believe that the rack and/or it's control unit have a design flaw that would also still be present in a brand new non-revised rack, we have elected not to replace the rack in hopes of honda taking ownership of it's defective product and offering a real solution to those of us who are affected by this problem. the vehicle still has the original steering rack and can be made available to the nhtsa to demonstrate the abnormal steering behavior.

In january 2021 we took in my 2013 honda accord into my local honda dealership because the steering wheel would jolt to the left while driving. it was very unsafe. my husband found information about an extended warranty having to do with the steering. honda said that the car was not registering the specific code to fix it under the extended warranty so we would have to pay out of pocket which was over $3,000. we had read some comments from people experiencing the same issue but their honda's fixed the issue. ours would not. we took it back to our local honda again and i called the corporation, again honda said they can only fix this safety issue with payment. we then took the vehicle to a reputable mechanic in town and they too agreed that this issue should be covered by honda. our mechanic outreached to our local honda again and a honda 30miles away and both said they cannot do anything without payment. we were shocked by how honda clearly knew about the safety issue and concern but still would not do anything without payment and clearly the extended warranty impacted the steering. we had no choice but to pay for the repairs. the day we got the car back from being repaired ($3,772.35 later) we see that nhtsa opened an investigation for a safety recall on the steering! i will be contacting honda for a full refund.

I had called up nhtsa earlier also to report the problem but they said - report that to honda america. nevertheless, i'm putting it here. my 2013 honda accord that had ~36000 miles on it gave me a hard time; as i was driving on the highway with my family; the power steering gave up, it became super heavy and i almost lost control of the vehicle. luckily, i was able to get off the highway and save my family. off the highway, i turned off the engine and started it back; and now the steering was back to normal. as i was not far from home, i drove slowly and carefully back home. on reaching home, i called up american honda and they said - they never heard of such an issue and nothing could be done as the vehicle was out of warranty. the following days, i called up nearby honda dealers but could not get anything concrete and so took it to one of the dealers who simply changed the power steering electronic module and the issue was sorted.

On a clear, rural, dry blacktop county highway at approximately 10:00am december 19,2018 while driving at 50 miles per hour i suddenly lost steering control of my 2013 honda accord. this was instantaneous causing car to move to the right. when i steered to the left the car over-corrected and drove into the left ditch. my effort to straighten the car caused it to hit the frozen ditch bank parallel to left side of car. side air bags deployed and car came to rest in adjacent hay field. my t-12 vertebra was broken, among other injuries. cost to repair the car was $8,802.16. i always thought this was my fault, but recently i have experienced strange and unsettling steering glitches with this car. my spouse has also recently mentioned that he has noticed steering glitches while driving this honda accord.

Power steering shut down twice in two days. orange warning light came on each time. problem cleared after engine turned off for a minute or so, but returned after 20 further miles driving. dealer verified there was an error code, said it would be covered under a warranty, and has kept the vehicle until repairs can be made. dealer stated that there are many problems like this, and cannot yet give me a date when it will be repaired, or even a date by which they can give me that date!

The 9th generation honda accord seemed to have a common issue with premature starter failure and excessive engine oil consumption. my starter failed at around 40k miles. i then noticed after a fresh oil change, and with 70% oil life remaining, my engine is bone dry with no oil and the only reason i checked was because of a low pressure warning light. i have complained to honda that this is not normal. there are no leaks whatsoever. to prevent engine damage, i have to fill in a quart of engine oil for every 1500 miles of driving. i have owned several honda's and never once had any issues like this. i even changed the pcv valve and that did not fix the issue. honda knows about the excessive oil consumption and refused to issue a recall to replace the piston rings. almost every 9th generation honda accord owner faces premature starter failure and excessive oil consumption. this is not normal and honda is avoiding this issue and give customers like me the run around to perform compression test etc and adding engine oil for every 1000 miles of driving is normal. i have never heard of such thing unless you drive a high performance vehicle. i hope nhtsa will investigate and force honda to issue a recall and compensate owners who had to pay out of pocket for premature starter failures.

Steering has a mind of its own. wanders lanes and driver has no control for several seconds. have drifted into other lanes while trying to control / steer but no response. this lasts for just a brief time but it's extremely unnerving. recently the car turned hard right with no notice. luckily had both hands on the wheel and steering worked enough to pull left before i ran off road. frankly, i am afraid to drive it. took the car to local dealer yesterday. they ran diagnostics and test drove but found no issues with steering. i advised that i could not retrieve the vehicle late yesterday but would do so this morning. several hours after that conversation, having heard that they found nothing wrong, the same rep called me and said "you can't drive this car". he relayed that technician was moving the car from the bay to the lot when the car took a hard right and nearly collided with another car parked in their lot. the tech brought the car back to the shop and up on the rack where they observed the car again make a hard right turn. no one was behind the wheel when this occurred. i just rcvd an estimate for repair ~ $3,700.00. electronic power steering rack assembly accounts for $3,140.00 of this cost. alignment & some other diagnostic costs take it up from there.

During the winter i started having issues with my car the bad battery sensor drained my battery had to buy a new one. then i find out from honda that i have a recall on that battery sensor still was having issues with the car going on. finally got the battery sensor changed and now the starter is not working. this sensor is becoming costly for me first a battery and now a starter. this is ridiculous that i have to keep dishing out money for problems with my car that has to due with a faulty sensor that was recalled.

On june 10, 2021 while pulling into my driveway the power steering went out on the honda. the steering wheel spun around and the car made an immediate left turn. tested car on cul de sac by my house and the steering wheel fights to go straight and pulls hard to the left resulting in immediate left hand turn. when trying to drive, the steering fights to go in any other direction than left and if and you do not have a tight grip, the car will turn left.took honda to my independent car repair on june 11. he was able to replicate the issue & told me it was the eps and should be covered by honda on extended warranty from a federal recall. appointment made for june 16 at coggin honda orlando and was car towed there on june 15, 2021. june 16, honda called and said the eps and outer tire rods were broken. the parts were the parts included in the recall and extended warranty but the car was not showing trouble codes 5301 or 5302 so car was not covered, and they would have to charge me $2,730.25 for the repair. in fact, car was showing absolutely no trouble codes or potential coeds of any kind. service advisor gus ramirez & his boss fadi alzeideh both agree the part that is covered under the warranty is the part the needs replaced but their hands were tired due to no 5301 or 02 codes. case started with honda corporate on june 17, 2021. case number 12296417. it shouldn't matter if there are trouble codes. the steering issue wasn't fixed during the initial recall in 2015 and should be covered now. had this happened 10 minutes earlier i would have been on the freeway during heavy traffic and people could have been seriously injured. car was taken into rick roush honda in ohio for the initial recall on november 11, 2015. awaiting case manager and decision on warranty coverage from honda.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while slowing down to making a left turn, the steering wheel independently turned completely to the left. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the electronic power steering (eps) gearbox to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. the manufacturer had been informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 44,618.

The electric steering turns the vehicle without any input from the driver. the car will automatically turn to the left if the wheel is not corrected. this is not a pull left as in a bad wheel alignment. this happens even if no one is in the car and the car is stopped. it makes the car useless to drive because it is so unsafe.

The contact's daughter owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while his daughter was driving at unknown speeds she veered off the road, to the right for unknown reasons and crashed into a tree. the driver received medical attention however, succumbed to her injuries at the scene. there was no report of fire or air bag deployment. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent lot. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was unknown.

2013 honda accord sport steering pulling to the right. not pulling very hard, but am afraid condition will worsen. i understand that you are looking into numerous complaints concerning problems with electric power steering on this model year honda accord. i have had tires rotated, suspension and components checked for wear, alignment checked with no problems found. hope i don't have any severe steering problems that some accord owners have reported. my issue started about two months ago, about the same time i noticed a low whistling sound coming from the steering column. don't know if that is related to the steering issue but unusual to have the noise happen at the same time. thanks.

The steering will act on its own, sometimes fighting against the input of the driver. there aren’t any trouble lights on the dash or anything indicating a problem. sometimes the steering wheel will turn fully in one direction completely on its own. if you don’t have a tight grip on the steering wheel at all times, it can push the vehicle in directions you don’t intend it to go. has been happening regularly since it started in july 2019.

Loss of steering control

The power steering just gave up while i was driving. it made my car shift to one side. it was shaking. i was able to safely bring the car to a complete stop. but i really scared me. i’m glad it was not worst. according to a mechanic is the steering wheel. but they said they are not sure why it happened. i’m reporting this because is very dangerous and could eventually be a fatality. i also notice that there are other people that have had the same problem. i need this to be recall. is very dangerous.

My car’s steering automatically wants to turn to the left. this started a while back and has continued. i have to keep both hands on the wheel firmly to be prepared at all times for it to turn on its own.

Car steering pulled heavily left without any warning and nearly resulted in a head-on collision with oncoming traffic. the steering wheel also turns hard left with no assistance when the ignition is turned on. this is a very serious safety risk and in need of a recall so that honda can inspect and correct whatever engineering defect is causing this and to preemptively repair the problem before any injuries/fatalities occur

Same problem described in this article: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/honda-accords-under-investigation-for-steering-problems-a4542071576/. about two weeks ago it just started pulling dramatically to the right with no warning - no icons lit up on the dashboard. it is such an aggressive pull that i almost went into the highway median a handful of times. once i turned the wheel a bit to the left it would lessen or stop only to reoccur a short time later. it is at my honda dealership now and the part is ordered and they said it's under warranty. amazingly the head technicians didn't know anything about it. i had to google it to find out how big of an issue it is. anyway, it is real and is a major issue.

My eps (electric power steering light) will randomly turn on making my vehicle incredibly difficult to return. i have taken it into a honda dealership and have been informed that it is due to faulty eps unit that need to be replaced. this has put my safety and the safety of others at risk because it makes my vehicle incredibly hard to turn and is unpredictable. sometimes my eps works and sometimes it doesn't. i was able to show this issue to a dealership representative at car pros honda el monte who witness the eps light on and was unable to turn the steering wheel. this issue first appeared in april 2021 and has been gradually getting worse until now. i have taken this car into the dealership 3 times already, and was finally told about the faulty eps unit on the third trip.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and felt tight when turning in either direction. also, while driving the vehicle would pull to the left. later, after starting the vehicle the steering wheel erroneously turned 360 degree. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering rack and pinion were faulty, and the steering column needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not yet repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 78,000.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph, the steering wheel would drift to the left and it was difficult to maneuver the vehicle. the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the steering wheel continued to spin. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the rack and pinion failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving approximately 55 mph, the steering wheel was difficult to turn. the power steering assist warning light was illuminated. in addition, the steering wheel ceased. the contact mentioned that after waiting for a few minutes the steering wheel functionality returned. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage 84,900.

The contact's daughter owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated her daughter was attempting to start the vehicle however, it was approximately five minutes before the vehicle started. the contact stated her daughter was not aware if there were any warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer had been informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

I pulled into store shut vehicle off and came out started it unable to turn steering wheel and warning light on. can turn the vehicle wheel without extreme heavy force

The backup camera display intermittently goes to all black except for the yellow guidance lines that normally overlay the image. the passenger-side camera continues to work normally as do all the other dash displays. this has been happening for a several months. it seems to be happening more frequently now. these are the same symptoms as what triggered the accord 2018 recall to fix buggy camera software. without the backup camera display it is difficult to determine how far you are away from objects behind you and lower height objects such as small children are completely out of sight. the rear cross traffic view is also unavailable. yesterday my wife nearly backed up into a car behind her because the backup camera view was blacked out. the problem occurred twice today. once while in our driveway and once while my wife was backing out of a parking space. the problem has not been reproduced as it is intermittent.

At about 40k miles since i purchased my 2013 accord sport 6 speed mt new, there has been premature starter failure causing me to replace the starter. in addition, the 2.4 l earth dreams engine consumes a quart of oil every approximately 1000 miles. i have had honda's in the past and never had to do this on a fairly new car. i also changed my pcv valve thinking it may be faulty. after doing so, i have the same issue. i even complained to honda several times and expressed my frustration. at about 50% oil life remaining, and if the engine oil is not topped off, the dip stick to check the engine oil will be bone dry. i hope nhtsa will look into the earth dreams engine. this mechanic did an excellent youtube video explaining the issue. https://youtu.be/tz24wh6ecpe. it is time to force a honda recall on all earth dreams engine before premature engine failure starts happening and honda blaming customers for not properly maintaining the engine when it is a faulty engine to begin with.

Steering suddenly became loose to the right and veered the car into oncoming traffic. extremely difficult to turn the steering wheel left. honda dealer states steering gearbox failed internally. there was no warning or warning light and dealer is unable to explain the failure other than it is an “internal issue.”

My honda accord suddenly started having steering issues. one day i was driving and my wheel suddenly just jerked to the right causing me to almost loose control of the vehicle. as i continued to drive the vehicle over the next month or two the issue became more frequent constantly jerking as i'm driving becoming hard to keep straight and wanting to veer off to the right. eventually, one day the wheel just completely locked. i brought the car to the dealership to be repaired. after receiving the vehicle back and the repairs supposedly being done the steering continues to suddenly jerk right and the wheel tightens from time to time. these issues caused me to almost loose control of the vehicle several times. a few months after i'd starting experiencing these issues i read that a probe had been opened about similar issues.

Battery sensor. recall fixed it once. same issue reoccurred on 7/20/21 and it is melting the fuse box making it unsafe to drive

Power steering torque sensor or steering rack. i see that there is already an investigation for this. i was driving down an off ramp, when the front of my car suddenly turned to the right. i did not feel the car hit anything. i was able to correct it. however, since then there's been something obviously wrong with the steering. when i turn the steering wheel to the left it responds normally, but there is a specific angle at which the wheel vibrates though. if i turn the wheel to the right, the wheel is tense and also has a specific spot where it vibrates. it vibrates at one spot on the first and second spin of the wheel. if i drive straight the car seems fine. none of the dash lights have turned on. the dealer said to replace the steering rack. however, they can't even get the part due to the computer chip shortage. they said it is on back order and the earliest they could get it is in 6 weeks. their estimate was around $2,700. so now i just don't have a car and if i get forced to trade it in it's value is bad, since it can't be fixed due to the shortage. if they eventually do a recall, i'll get nothing after i sell the broken car.

While driving during the week of 07/15/2021, the steering became hard to control and pulled to left very strongly. i managed to get home. the steering was reset and yesterday 07/24/2021 the issue occurred again. steering wheel is very hard to control and freely "turns" to the left. i cannot drive this vehicle and cannot afford costly repair but this is a true safety issue none the less. it is impossible to control the steering. i drive less than 30 miles per week and rarely go over 45 miles per hour as i use this vehicle for errands only since i retired. i am mortified to think about what could happen if i were on the interstate driving 65 mph!

For several years, the starter has been work sporadically. this started in 2014. it has progressively gotten worse. i cant count on the car to start.

Eps light randomly comes on and power steering is lost. took car to honda in 2019 and the problem seemed to be fixed until about a week ago. very scary and dangerous!

The steering indicator warning light came on and the steering wheel would not turn. luckily the car was in a parking lot and no injuries occurred. the car was towed to the area's honda facility and repaired at a cost of almost $3000 dollars. the steering rack was replaced as it is integral with the steering torque sensor and the faulty part.

There was a sudden loss of power steering control. the wheel suddenly turned to the left and was very difficult to return to neutral. we took it to the dealer and there were no diagnostic codes and they "re-set" everything. the problem returned about a week later. warning lights were not evident in either instance of the problem.

My power steering dashboard light came on and the steering wheel would barely move. luckily this happened when i was parked and not while i was driving. did some research and found that this is an ongoing issue with 2013 accords. i had to tow the car to the dealer and pay them to replace the computer part that had gone bad. i'm just glad this didn't happen while i was driving. this car only has about 59,000 miles on it.

The car has been driving funny for a few weeks. the car will not go into gear.

Driving on highway with grooved pavement felt steering wheel start pulling to left needed to hold steering very tight to control car. pulled car into a parking lot and when applying brakes and loosing hands from steering wheel the car pulled left and steering wheel started to turn on own doing a complete 360 degrees or more. brought car to an auto center to have assessed and was told rack and pinion gear is damaged. the part is on national back order from honda according to service center. no warning lights or symptoms appeared prior to this incident.

My car started jerking to the left uncontrollably. for safety reasons i am not driving because i lose control of the steering wheel. took it to a honda dealership and they said that i need to replace power steering rack and inner rods. the cost is $3100. this vehicle only has 119,000 miles , this should not happen

Electric powered steering (eps) just failed on me, fortunately i was able to handle it and take car to secure location.

Steering wheel start puling to the left. it doesn’t stay in the neutral position ( wheels straight). i have to apply unnecessary force to keep it straight or make a right turn. feels extremely unsafe.no warning signs indicated on dashboard. planning to take it to the dealership.

Streeling wheel is constantly steering to the left even when the car is stationary.

Car suddenly began pulling and steering to the right. have to apply force to steering to keep it straight or turn or correct to the left. happens when driving, and even when parked the front wheels and steering wheel will pull some to the right, steering wheel turns right on its own. checked front tire pressure and that's ok, didn't resolve the issue.

Engine burns oil excessively. following the maintenance minder oil change schedule, the oil was under the minimum. car was at around 83000 miles. since within 5 year dealership asked to do a oil consumption test but car would be out of 5 yr window by end of it. eventually this issue led to catalytic converter needed to be changed at 98500 miles due to the buildup from burning oil

Starter needed to be replaced at around 84000 miles

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the steering wheel failed to turn. there was an unknown warning light illuminated. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

Hello, the steering wheel starts puling me to the left without any warning, while i was driving at 20 mph. it almost cause me to crash. since it happened the steering wheel almost constantly pulls me to the left. my accord 2013 has only 62,000 miles. i took car to the dealer. upon inspection found steering gearbox/eps unit has internal failure. estimate 3258.95. honda's corporate office does not reply to my complain. thanks

Steering feels like it holds when driving in curve and doesn’t want to turn back straight.

Steering very stiff and pulls towards the right, very hard to turn to left, smelling like something is hot - burning - sensor light is on took to dealership states rack and piñon needs replaced over $2,000.00 repairs- i would notice when driving on straight highway and let go of steering wheel would pull to right then the burning smell & hard to turn to left all while having to drive my 2 1/2 year old grandson to work & childcare always been satisfied with car very heartbreaking and expensive

The power steering just stopped working in my 2013 honda accord. i am not able to drive the vehicle safely. a mechanic has confirmed this issue. there were no signs or symptoms and no warning lights beforehand. the warning light came on just as the steering stopped working. this occurred in june 2020.

Drivers-side cv axle broke on 9/8/2021. lost all drive power on residential street while backing out a driveway. no accident occurred. was diagnosed by aaa and service center as driver side broken cv axle. no warning lamps, messages or other warnings. car was in for a full service and inspection at a honda dealer on 3/8/2021.

I was driving with my 2 kids after school on highway 40 west towards exit 192, the car suddenly pulled to the left side without any warning, though the situation was scary and horrible i managed to stop the car in the grass area between east bound and west bound highway. the steering does a perfect 90 degree turn automatically. i took the car to the nearest honda service center next day morning (sep. 14, 2021). they came back with a diagnosis to replace the entire transmission which costs$3,000 plus tax.

The power steering failure while driving on highway ( check engine, eps, vsa, tire pressure 4 lights turn on the dashboard at the same time) , it's suddenly and unpredictable. i keep driving on outside lane prevent any broke down or crash other vehicles. it's hard to control and accelerate . my car just finished the regular maintenance one month ago, and in very good shape. it's very dangerous situation, i decide drive to dealer for check, and report to nhtsa for safety reason. upload the dealer check worksheet page, and will upload more files if needed.

On 9/3, i filled up my accord with gas and went to start my car again. upon starting, i saw my power steering light had come on. i called my local shop to see if i could take it by there friday morning and they couldn't accommodate due to the busy labor day weekend. so i called the honda dealer (right honda) in north scottsdale and was able to schedule a visit for 7:30am on 9/4. i drove my car home on 9/3 and by the time i made it home, the power steering had come back but the light was still on. the morning of 9/4 i get in my accord to take it to right honda... the power steering light was not on anymore and the car was steering fine. right honda told me they can't do anything for me since the light wasn't on anymore... that weekend, 9/5, my light comes back on while i'm away from town and i have to drive it back home without power steering, which felt kind of dangerous. i scheduled a time to take it in for service on 9/7 at my local service center, not right honda. it is now 9/20 and i'm being told the part i need is on a national shortage. we've been waiting for almost two weeks now and i'm curious how/why this part can be allowed to be on national shortage when it's a defect of honda's? i've seen there's plenty reports (100+) of the electronic power steering failing in 2013-2015 honda accords and i'm surprised they have the replacement part on a national shortage. this is disappointing as a loyal honda customer.

The driver's side sun visor will not stay in the upright position, sometimes blocking my view of traffic signals or other items, even those below the level of the rear-view mirror. honda wants $150 for the part. there are may youtube videos about the problem caused by a failure of a cheap piece of plastic that is prone to breaking. it seems to me that honda should fix this safety feature as part of a recall.

The car will intermittently lose power steering all of the sudden and jerk the car to the right. on other occasions the car will automatically steering right at a stand still. it is believed to be either electrical or mechanical but involving the eps and rack and pinion. the vehicle was inspected by a certified honda technician. my personal safety and safety of others that have entered my car have been at risk any time i am in this vehicle. on most occasions the eps light would fail to come on when this occured. it may be on one out of every ten times the issues occured. the code that occurs is a visa system malfunction.

I was driving on the highway and my car just whipped to right like i was making a u turn .

Tsb 13-053 has not been honored, no notice was sent recently made aware due to cvt juddering/shaking issues. needs throttle body replaced and updated software for optimum performance. noticble mostly start stop or under 15mph.

In early september 2021, my wife was driving our 2013 honda accord sport 2.4l when she stated the steering was pulling itself to the left. it startled her as she was driving in traffic when it suddenly pulled left into another lane. she was able to keep control of the car and brought it straight home. i verified that when my car ignition was turned on, the steering wheel will turn to the left by itself... spinning several times counterclockwise. i also confirmed that there are no eps error codes or warning lamps shown which seems strange there are no obd codes. we called the local honda dealer and they stated there is an issue with the eps and we could bring in our vehicle for repair. i took my vehicle to the local honda dealership for the repair of this eps defect which they originally stated would be fixed free of charge. the dealership confirmed the defect condition on my vehicle and performed the honda prescribed repair of reprogramming the eps ecu. however, this did not fix the concern on my vehicle but only lessened the eps steering force. the dealership contacted honda directly to request a full replacement of the eps rack on my vehicle. after about a week of delay, honda responded and stated that since my vehicle is more than 5 years old, they are declining to replace the steering rack at their cost. they have quoted to me a repair cost of $2,900. this is evidently a mfg defect with the eps rack system and creates an unsafe driving condition due to steering control. this eps concern needs further investigation and a recall seems necessary as honda is only following a programming change which does not resolve all concerns as mine still exists on my vehicle. so now when driving my vehicle, you cannot remove your hand from the steering wheel, or it will steer itself continuously left. again i feel the vehicle steering system is a critical function and honda should repair at their cost.

I was driving on a road that was curving right, as i’m curving the steering wheel right the vehicle instead went left into the other side of the road.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 30 mph, she lost control of the steering wheel. the power steering assists warning light is illuminated. the contact veered to the side of the road. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the independent mechanic stated that the electronic power steering control module had failed. the vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the electronic power steering control module had failed and was a manufacturer’s defect. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and the case was opened. the vehicle was repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 52,000. the vin was not available.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that twice he had experienced sudden loss of power steering without warning while driving at various speeds. the contact had initially taken the vehicle to a dealer where he had the vehicle repaired; however, a few years later, the failure recurred. the contact then took the vehicle to leith honda aberdeen (501 11045, us-15, aberdeen, nc 28315) where he had the vehicle repaired for a second time. the manufacturer was notified of the failures but offered no assistance. the vehicle had been repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.

The head restraints cause back pain and injury because they are so far forward. when we confronted honda about these, they said they are required by you to make them miserable and uncomfortable. are there any car manufacturers that have found a way around this regulation? maybe cars manufactured before the regulation took effect? can you reconsider that maybe this regulation is written to cause more injury than assistance and rescind it or revise it to allow manufacturers to fix your problem?

This morning as i pulled out of my parking spot into my driveway, i turned to the left. as i released pressure on the steering wheel to return to driving straight ahead, the steering cycled hard to the right. i thought perhaps loose stone had caused the unusual response, but thought better, slowed the vehicle (under 5 mph), and released the steering wheel. the vehicle pulled hard to the right. i got out and checked for a flat and checked to make sure the wheel hadn't somehow come loose. i decided that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and parked it. while parked, i cycled the steering all the way to the left. when i started to turned the wheel back to the right i could feel pressure in the steering wheel attempting to turn the wheel right. i released the wheel and the steering cycled completely to the right without my assistance. the car was parked on a dry, level surface at the time.

All of a sudden, without any warning, one day, i turned on the engine of my 2013 honda accord and the steering wheel went all the way to the left. i hadn’t even touched it and when i tried to turn it to the right, the steering wheel kept pulling to the left. i had to go to work so i drove like that since my work is not far but i had to keep pulling the steering wheel to the right firmly with both hands, otherwise it would go to the left on its own making it hard to pull back to the right (hard to control). it did it when i was driving and also when i was stopped. it did it again on my way home and a couple of days after that but then it went away all of a sudden just like it came. it now comes and goes randomly but the steering wheel feels stiff either way, not soft like before. the warning lamp didn’t come on so my car apparently looks ok. i had it checked by a mechanic who told me that the car seems fine. he didn’t see anything abnormal when he checked it. i’ve looked it up online and some people have reported the same issues but have been ignored since the lamp light doesn’t come on so it’s like the problem doesn’t even exist. i do feel it’s a safety issue when i’m driving and all of a sudden my car pulls to the left. this needs to be addressed since i’m not the only one with the issue but maybe people don’t know where to report it.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle would not start. the vehicle was not taken to a local dealer. the manufacturer was not informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

Failure of keyless remote system - honda service bulletin 13-038 system will not respond to keyless remotes and eventually will disable car ignition system. this is a safety for several reasons: 1. the doors can only be opened using the key which is embedded in the keyfob. in case of emergency or for people with disabilities, this is a huge problem. 2. the trunk cannot be accessed unless the door is opened and the trunk released manually inside. there is no key lock to access the trunk from outside the vehicle. 3. the panic button will not function on the keyfob. 4. the car will not start unless the keyfob is placed next to the driver's dash. eventually, the car will not start at all and the occupants will be stranded. this is a huge issue. the vehicle has been inspected by a honda dealer and a ticket opened with honda. honda now states that they will not help with repairs as the vehicle is past warranty.

Steering wheel jerked to one side (left) without warning

While driving under ideal conditions my steering suddenly stopped functioning. i was on hwy. 190 in covington, la which is a heavy traffic area. it was extremely unsettling and frightening. this ordeal, so far, has cost me: towing charge $85.00, rental car $600.00, estimate on parts, labor and tax to replace the "electrical power steering control unit" which royal honda mechanic says "failed", is $1,170.00. this is the second recall issue i have had with this vehicle. the first was in february, 2021 when the "starter" failed at my odometer reading of 75,235 miles. it had to be replaced at total cost of over $500.00. what's next next!!!!!

The vehicle has an issue with the charging system which has persisted for at least 1year. the vehicle is unsafe to drive because once the battery has low charge, power steering fails and ultimately the car dies/cuts off (which has happened to me while on a public road at least twice). the vehicle has been checked out by my mechanic numerous times but the issue has never been remedied. the alternator (replaced twice), electronic load detector, battery sensor and battery sensor connector have all been replaced. wiring has also been inspected but there were no problems to report. a check charge system warning stays on, and sometimes the battery light illuminates. i have seen countless complaints about the same issue regarding the 9th generation honda accord online but the dealer does not acknowledge the issue exists in many of these particular model.

Recently purchased car from used car dealer with 84,000 miles. driven 1 month. 19 yr son was driving straight on 45mph road and power steering turned completely off. he is a newer driver and luckily managed the heavy steering. this could have been deadly if it happened around a turn. car was turned off at home for 2 hrs and system reset upon start up. not sure what to do?

I placed my car in revers and it began to spin uncontrollably to the left. i was able to, with difficulty, pull it back but it continued to spin once i backed up. next day when i turned right, the steering wheel suddenly pulled me to the right. it is hard to steer and i was told it is steering rack failure. yes it is available for inspection upon request. it is putting my safety and others at risk as i do not know when it will pull to the side. honda of concord was able to reproduce the problem and co formed the issue. it was only taken to the dealer which is honda of concord. no accident has happened yet. there was no warning. it just happened the evening of 10/7/2021 and again 10/8/2021. on the way to honda dealership, it pulled when i turned on the way.

Car began jerking to the right while driving. it feels like the power steering is out in 50% of the car.

The abs module went out. the vehicle has 80k original miles and less than 10yrs old. i had to spend over $1200 to get it fixed. this a safety issue and definitely needs to have a recall.

Vehicle suddenly turned left on its own, also partial lost of power steering. even with vehicle parked, it turned totally to the left. there were no dash warning lights indicating a problem i took it to dean honda and it was still doing this when i arrived there. the technician said he could not duplicate the problem, and that no code came up. they stated honda would not pay for the repair unless error code came up. they expected me to simply take the car and i stated that i would not as it was unsafe to drive. they agreed to keep it and try to duplicate the problem which after about a week they did, but still no code appeared. i contacted honda headquarters who eventually agreed to replace the steering box "as a courtesy" but if it happened again , they would not pay for the repair. while i am happy that they repaired it, i feel that these vehicles should be recalled and honda is using the "no code" as an excuse to refuse paying for these repairs and this is an ongoing, dangerous defect. this accord has only 24,000 miles and is in excellent condition and i am the original owner.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 20 mph, he became aware that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. the contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and waited for a few minutes before restarting the vehicle. the warning lights disappeared, and the contact continued driving to his residence however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the vehicle stability assist (vsa) modulator needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired due to the parts being on backorder. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. the failure occurred intermittently at first; however, the failure was occurring more often. the contact stated that the failure was related to manufacturer communication number: a16-002 (electrical system). the contact had not taken the vehicle to be diagnosed. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 61,000.

The abs module has failed on this car. upon a lot of research, i have found that a lot of people are stating they have had this same issue with their honda accords within a few years before and after. this is a $1700 fix from honda that most people are not going to be able to afford and a lot of people are having problems with..... the part is also on a nationwide backorder which to me seems like they have surely had to replace a lot of them..... i believe that this should be investigated for a recall. i spoke with someone at honda and they also agreed that this should be looked at for a recall. this could be very dangerous to have failing abs systems on vehicles. research on forums where people discuss this will show that this is a common problem and a recall should be considered.

When going over small bumps strong pulls to one side dramatically, causing car to jerk out of lane

Steering has becoming increasingly heavy, feels “spongy” , and is pulling to the side when making turns… i am extremely concerned that there is a failure with my vehicle’s power steering that may cause me to lose control or cause an accident.

While driving, the steering is intermittently difficult to control and/or lacking resistance. there have been multiple occasions when it takes a great deal of effort (physically) to control the vehicle--almost as if there is a loss of power steering. conversely, the steering wheel almost spins freely--requiring extra motion to steer the car and making it difficult to control. of most concern is that the malfunctions occur without warning—resulting in the car drifting toward the adjacent lane on several occasions. fortunately, i was able to make the correction in time--preventing the car from crossing into the next lane and possibly causing a collision. the local dealer checked the steering on may 20, 2021. at that time, the steering wheel was returning to the home position on its own—while i was driving the car and attempting to turn. the dealer did a diagnostic, performed a sensor re-learn and several other procedures. after exhausting all options, they contacted the tech line to inform them that the car was still difficult to turn during the road test. the tech line responded that this can be caused by hitting the curb and other driver-related mishaps. although the adjustments made at the dealership improved the condition, it was clear that the manufacturer didn't provide the support required to resolve the problem. the steering worsened last week to the extent where i felt unsafe driving the vehicle. i took it to a different repair shop, it was inspected, and they recommended that it not be driven until repaired. after doing some research, it was clear that this is an on-going problem that has yet to be corrected by honda. currently, the car is parked and i have no transportation.

Power steering failure accompanied by steering warning light. vehicle difficult to steer and steering systems seems to be trying to assist in the opposite direction trying to steer. no accidents or damage at this time but seems to pose a dangerous situation. dealer did not refuse to diagnose but discouraged leaving vehicle for diagnosis until failure was continuous as opposed to the current intermittent failure.

I believe that my vehicle, a 2013 honda accord sport cvt, should be included in this recent safety recall in regards to cv axles that are at risk of excess rust/corrosion which left untreated could lead to a crash or injury. safety recall in question (service bulletin 20-125) - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/rcrit-20v769-5506.pdf honda of america refuses to look at my case because my vin is not a part of the original recall. my local honda dealership did let me know that this recall was issued only for vehicles sold in the midwest because they are more susceptible to rust and corrosion. i originally purchased the vehicle in florida (i'm the original owner) in october of 2012. i moved to iowa in 2015 and am now experiencing the same problems as the safety recall in question. i've had my vehicle inspected by my local honda dealership in des moines ia and they have confirmed that i'm showing the same symptoms as the recall that require a complete cv axle replacement. because my vin number was not included in this recall, they are unable to perform any repairs. i've called honda of america and because of my vin, they also refuse to even look at my case even though i now live in an area that uses a high volume of salt on the roads during the wintertime. i believe that i am not the only one and others could be at risk if they also moved to an area with a high volume of salt on the roads. i’m concerned about driving my vehicle anywhere because i know that my cv axles are at risk of breaking under load.

Sudden failure of steering wheel. it became extremely difficult to turn out of nowhere. i was parking when it happened thankfully. but turning the car off and on didnt help. it is still parked since yesterday. i haven’t checked to see if the problem corrected itself.

Sudden loss of steering making the vehicle very difficult to steer. told by by honda dealership that cause was steering rack failure. the steering rack was replaced by dealership on 8/9/2021. no warning lamps were triggered during failure. no steering issues were noted prior to this immediate steering failure.

Car veered left hard, nearly crashed across multiple lanes on i-95 south in ormond beach, fl. power steering failed, wouldn't stop veering left and hard to turn right. had to replace rack and pinion and power steering gear box. no warning signs in car to note. problem confirmed at auto solutions ormond beach as power steering and gear box.

At 73,000 miles was not able to use push start to start vehicle. it would take several tries and was stranded where we were. it progressively got worse and finally we could not start vehicle. since they have no other way to start this vehicle. tried to take to miller honda winchester they were rude charged over $800 just to look at. couldn’t get us in for a while. so took to another repair garage in winchester since we needed vehicle.

The electric power steering seems to be failing on my 2013 honda accord intermittently with no warning light present. while my husband was driving the vehicle at highway speeds, he indicated the steering wheel suddenly wanted to turn to the left on it's own. i drove the vehicle the next day and really did not notice an issue. however, my adult daughter drove the vehicle the following day and after driving the vehicle a short distance had to return home because the steering suddenly became very difficult to turn to the right, but super loose when turning to the left to the point it was almost impossible to control. i drove the vehicle for myself and found the same, plus the steering was extremely jerky, not at all smooth as it once was. the vehicle is in the repair shop now with an independent mechanic we trust 100%. he lifted the vehicle and was shocked at how the steering is reacting, advising the vehicle is definitely not safe to drive in it's present state. his extensive research, coupled with the codes presented, leads him to believe the rack and pinion needs replacement. unfortunately, the repair cost is quite high due to the parts cost and labor involved. after reading all of the reports online about this exact same complaint from other consumers, i am disturbed that honda has not done a recall. if so many of these vehicles are having this exact same issue, and it is a very strong safety hazard, why is this not considered an incident that requires recall? and how can i be assured that the honda replacement parts are not going to fail in the future for the exact same reason? do i now have a vehicle that is unsafe and i will constantly worry the steering is going to fail? i live in a rural area and hate to think that at any time the steering could fail and my car and it's occupants could end up in a ravine or body of water. even after the repair is complete, i will always be uneasy driving this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel inadvertently moved to the left. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the mechanic informed the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with steering failure. the steering gearbox needed to be replaced. the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. the vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 72,000. the vin was unavailable.

I was involved in a car accident on 12/12/2. the air bags didn't deploy. they definitely should have. i have pictures of the outside of the vehicle. i can receive police report the insurance currently has the vehicle. we were traveling 70mph and was tboned then ended up sliding out of control and hitting the ground after a 4ft drop off a drainage ditch. two points of impact the car is totaled and not one airbag deployed.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 65 mph, the steering wheel inadvertently lost power steering functionality. there were no warning lights illuminated. the contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle by forcefully maneuvering the steering wheel. the contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the power steering gear box needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000. updated on 3/6/22: i (contact) own a 2013 honda accord. contact stated while driving 65 mph, the steering wheel inadvertently lost power steering functionality. there were no warning lights illuminated. the contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle by forcefully maneuvering the steering wheel. the contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the power steering gear box needed to be replaced. honda dartmouth in massachusetts let the contact know that the car would fall under service bulletin 15-056 warranty extension: eps torque sensor (dtc 53-01 or dtc 53-02) as the power steering gear box assembly needed to be replaced but, the car did not pull the code when plugged in. the car vin number did pull as eligible under this warranty. contact called honda manufacturing and they stated they would not do anything for the contact as the car did not pull the code dtc53-01 or dtc 53-02 and that the cost of repair would be at the contacts expense.

Vsa, brake, abs, eps, tire pressure light always on and won’t go away! i thought there would be enough information about this in the web. there is but, not actual solution. you would have to change out so much and still the lights would come back. recently, my vsa light coming on and off have made my brakes and something else grind whenever i press on the brakes. to a point where i would need to pull over and hold vsa off button to not have brake grind when pressing on them. there should be enough content to be able to realized that this is a cause and concern for honda vehicles.

While driving on the highway the steering wheel begin to veer sharply to the left causing the car to enter the right lane - luckily i was able to avoid hitting another car

When driving down an even and flat road, the steering wheel will rotate very fast to the right and if i did not have my hands on the steering wheel it would of taken me right off the road. i stopped the car and centered the steering wheel and then let it go and it rotated at least 1 full turn to the right. i centered the wheel again and turned it hard to the left. after that the wheel stayed centered. but, once i started driving again, the wheel pulled hard to the right and i had to repeat the process to get the wheel to center. this most certainly is a steering issue.

It happens at least twice a year for the past 8 years i’ve owned the car , the eps light comes on and it’s hard to steer my car, ive almost been in accidents every time this happens , there should be a recall on this issue and so thing should be done before someone or myself gets hurt

This is an issue of the car regularly pulling hard to the left without warning. my mechanic stated honda ran out of a regular front-end part and began using an inferior part on some models over several model years. he also stated that neither attempted alignment or repairs other than a suitable replacement for the affected part(s) (currently does not exist) will remedy the issue. i now have a shoulder problem requiring surgery from almost constantly fighting to keep my car in the lane for so long now. the issue has been prevalent since approximately the date and mileage given in "additional details" below after becoming vehicle owner and remains ongoing.

Accord does not start frequently. lights and electrical turn on, but does not turn on. battery, alternator, key battery and starter were replaced with the same problem. after about 10 minutes or so after trying the vehicle will start. it has left me stranded many times. honda will not assume responsibility. after reading blogs many owners with 2013 and 2014 accords experience same problem with no known fixes.

Car has intermittent problem starting the engine, will not start. the starter, battery, key fob battery have been replaced.

Got in the car to run an errand, started backing out of the driveway and when i went to turn the wheel it locked up and the power steering light came on, lost all power steering. had it towed to a shop and they said they can’t find anything wrong and i would have to take it to a honda dealer.

When pulling into my driveway, the dash lights suddenly all turned on, and the engine started racing causing the car to crash into my house.

As i was driving, the steering wheel jerked and i had to redirect it, but it was difficult to turn. i pulled over to figure out what was happening and noticed the power steering light on. i restarted the car and was able to make it home safe. it happened again and i took it to a mechanic, but he said he couldn't get it to happen while he was test driving the car; however, it happened repeatedly as i drove home a week later. when it happens, i am able to get control and pull over to restart, but not everyone will be able to regain control without power steering. it is not reasonable for a driver to expect their car to randomly veer off the road and lose power steering so they cannot regain control due to a fault that a mechanic cannot replicate and that is not being recorded as a trouble code. vehicle has not been repaired.

While driving the car, the steering icon pops up and becomes hard to steer the vehicle. this happens every time you drive the vehicle. it started 3 days ago, and it hasn't gone away. we went to a car repair shop, and they found no issues when connecting and looking through the code. even when the icon is on and indicates that there is a problem, the steering sometimes get fixed and reverted back to its original state. a few minutes after, it just goes back to the hard steering. i don't know why it would just randomly turn off the eps while driving, but that is a very dangerous thing when on the road, randomly shuts off while making a turn could cause a crash.

Electric power steering system failed while driving car. i stopped the car for about 15 minutes to reset system, but it failed again after driving another 5 minutes or so.

Driveshaft failed at dynamic damper by metal breaking.

When making a right turn without warning the steering went out, i lost control for a short period. my auto repair person has confirmed a continuation of the problem. had i been in a different location it could have caused a collision endangering myself and others. i'm told the fix is to replace the rack and pinion and the tork senso.

All light came on abs brake traction

All warning lights on the dashboard suddenly lit up one day. the car is in excellent condition with all recommended maintenance up-to-date and no accidents. honda dealer said the vsa modulator needed to be replaced and quoted $1756 + tax for the repair. parts are unavailable, so repairs cannot be made. dealer admits this is a very common problem with honda vehicles and suggests i do not worry about it and just keep driving the vehicle - even though safety features are all disabled and the car may not be safe to operate. an online search reveals this is a very common and known issue that honda usa has failed to address.

Power steering failure. the steering wheel became stiff to turn left or right, in the middle of operation. i was able to get over on the side of the road by switching lanes with very strong force.

I receive a message that states fcw system failure, which turns on multiple indicators on my dash board; tpms, abs, traction control, steering icon, etc. it disables my front collision warning as well as my lane departure warning, so i am not alerted anymore. the issue happens every time i drive. sometimes within minutes, and other times after driving for about 20 miles or so. i have not taken it to a dealer, as they will more than likely not know what the problem is, based on many other people posting about this. it has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance reps, or others. no, the lamps and indicators on the dashboard is what started coming up when it first started happening.

The contact's son owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that upon depression of the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would intermittently shake without warning. the contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer on multiple occasions; however, the failure persisted. upon investigation, the contact discovered nhtsa campaign number: 20v769000 (power train) which she linked to the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown. the consumer stated two tires were the cause of the vibrations. two new tires were purchased. the vehicle was repaired.

The steering wheel started jerking to the side on it's own causing vehicle to veer to the side. now it is stiff and erratic. we had previously had the harness replaced for the passenger side mirror which the dealer said had a short and had caused a stiff steering wheel approx 2 years ago

I was driving on an interstate highway when a car ahead of me swerved and appeared to lose control. i had to brake extremely hard to avoid being involved in a collision. i was exiting off the interstate at the next exit. my steering had begun to pull to the left very heavily, but was hard to turn to the left, and when i needed to make a right turn it seemed very loose with no resistance. i was able to get the car home. a few days later when i had someone to follow me to the nearest honda dealership, i took it in and was told that the steering "box" needed to be replaced and they proceeded to repair the car. with the addition of a new battery the repair totaled $3209.01. i asked how braking the car hard could damage an electrical power steering box. apparently, they did not know, but mentioned having had to replace other "boxes," but said there was no recall on them.

I have lost my ability to turn the steering wheel while driving without warning which is extremely dangerous! luckily we were close to home. i had very limited ability to turn the steering wheel. it was super tight. if i were on an interstate i would not have been able to switch lanes or turn suddenly as i had no ability to. i took it to hall honda in charlotte, nc and they couldn’t locate the problem as it didn’t happen during their test drive. the power steering warning light appeared after the wheel stiffened. i took my car to a local auto zone and she tightened some screws and my steering wheel mysterious loosened. i’ve been able to drive it with no problems for the past month. unfortunately when i turned on the car this morning the steering wheel won’t turn. i have no way to work. this is extremely dangerous and a major inconvenience. this is my second accord. i loved my first one, but i no longer want this car. please help!! thank you!!

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would jerk to left and lost power steering assist while turning to the left. the contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle had a software update performed; however, the failure persisted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 16,000. regularly occurs, not repaired.

The power steering stops working making it very difficult to drive especially when turning. i do not know what caused it but over the past several days it has gone off multiple times. thankfully i have not been in an accident. the car is going to be inspected at the end of the week. vehicle immediately experienced total loss of power steering. not suitable for a test vehicle which is experiencing uncommanded steering. vehicle repaired.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle suddenly pulled to the right and the steering wheel could not be turned to the left. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the local dealer was contacted and an appointment to have the vehicle examined was scheduled. the manufacturer was not yet notified. the failure mileage was 100,292.

In february 2022, inspection by a honda dealer technician revealed random malfunctioning of magnetic system in steering rack causing car to turn at random on its own that can lead to collision while driving.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while starting the vehicle there was a grinding sound coming from the engine. the vehicle would not start immediately. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed the failure with the starter switch. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure continued. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 45 mph, the steering wheel was pulling to the right. the contact stated that while attempting to correctly steer the vehicle, the vehicle was still pulling to the right. the contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was driven home. the contact did not take the vehicle to a dealer to be repaired. the manufacture was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Bought the car in 2013, and around 2015 it started having intermittent problems starting the car. after about 5-6 tries it would start normally and everything would be fine for couple of months. this went on all the way up to this year 2022. at least 6 different times of having my car inspected for this, they could not determine a cause. come today, it won't start again, and after numerous times it won't start at all. after reading through many numerous owners having the same issues on accord forums, reddit and youtube, the obvious cause is the starter is prone to failure. i am now trying to figure out a way to have my car towed to the dealer and dreading the cost of replacement for the starter including labor costs (when i've done everything pro-active to try to find the cause of this issue). i am sure i am not covered under any equipment warranty for this (but i sure was when i first reported this to them from 2015-2022.

My car started pulling to the left, and no service lights appear on the dashboard, so i took it to the honda dealership for an alignment. after inspection, the service consultant took me into the garage, and with my car on a lift, the mechanic turned the steering wheel all the way to the right and upon releasing it, the wheel turns all the way back to the left on its own (very quickly). he said the electronic power steering rack is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced, at a cost of $2,800. i ask if this would be covered under warranty, as it is a serious safety concern. he said it is not. i request a copy of the quote to review options, and i leave the dealership. an hour later the service consultant calls back to say only the electronic steering module needs to be replaced (and not the rack) so the total cost will now be $745 (including an alignment). honda has recognized the problem, but will not cover under warranty unless diagnostic codes 53-01 or 53-02 appear, but neither code shows up in my vehicle. the car turns by itself to the left, which could potentially steer me into another lane (or oncoming traffic), and i believe this is a serious safety concern for everyone on the road.

While driving around 65 mph on the freeway, the car suddenly became hard to steer. the electronic power steering seemed to fail, and multiple warning lights simultaneously appeared on the dashboard (vehicle stability assist, tire pressure, power steering, engine). i was in the middle of merging into another lane, and the wheel became jerky and less responsive. the car swerved, but i was able to regain control and pull over. i restarted the car a few times, but this did not resolve the issue. the next day, the power steering returned and the warning lights were no longer on. after driving locally for a few minutes (30+ mph), the power steering failed again, and the cluster of warning lights returned. the power steering continues to fail intermittently while driving, but will return seemingly randomly. i was able to bring the car to a certified honda dealer, and my service advisor let me know the problem may be related to a known issue with the torque sensor, which had its warranty extended to 13 years in 2013 - 2014 accords (tsb warranty extension 15-056). after inspecting my car, the error code dtc 85-01 was discovered (eps - vsa malfunction), but it was not covered under the warranty extension (dtc 53-01 / 53-02). the service advisor determined "the problem is the gearbox internally not the outside sensors" and that the steering rack should be replaced at my expense (~$2500). i believe my safety and the safety of others was put at risk because this sudden loss of control could have led to a collision with a driver or pedestrian. this component is necessary to safely drive the car, and i believe the manufacturer is responsible for the premature failure of this component without warning. no warning lights were on prior to this incident, and there was no known history of symptoms/issues related to steering or other major components. no history of accidents. the car with faulty steering gearbox is available for inspection (2013 honda accord lx).

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was pulling to the right. the vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. upon investigation, the contact discovered an open investigation under nhtsa action number: ea21001 which she linked to the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

Power steering failed while driving car causing me to nearly mow down a group of people waiting on curb for crosswalk.

Traveling down the interstate at 65-70 mph and the steering pulled very hard to the left and veered into the left lane decreases speed and had to counter steer to the right which keep me on the road. no warning or maintenance lights on. dealership diagnosed with failed steering rack and a $3500 repair bill. 2013 honda accord ex l 95,000 miles

Recieved a “fcw system failed” on dash along with check engine light, power steering, ldw, fcw lights, brake system lights. car wouldn’t turn off and trunk wouldn’t open. it has been seen by an independent service center.

While driving down the highway, the car tried to rapidly turn to the right. i pulled into a parking lot and turned the steering wheel completely to the left. it then turned itself all the way to the right very quickly. it could be driven by forcefully holding onto the steering wheel and applying pressure to keep it from turning. the car would do a 90 degree turn without touching the steering wheel. tires and alignment are fine. vehicle is currently at the dealership being worked on.

My vehicle trunk randomly unlatches and opens. the trunk does both while driving and when parked. the key fob button to open the trunk is not pressed or in range during these incidents. this is a safety concern in that if can block my rearward view. it is also an inconvenience since it can lead to theft of contents and the car.

Steering wheel turns itself to the left abruptly without warning.

As i was traveling in i-64 about a mile from the brentwood offramp my steering became almost impossible to control. i continued with the flow of traffics for another 1/4 of mile and then was able to move my car to the interior lane with a lot of resistance. during this 1/4 mile my steering remained locked. i regained the ability to steer after that 1/4 mile, but it was like in the days of without power steering. then i was able to exit and stop my car. the light on the dash came on and after resting it went off and my car returned to regular operation. the same thing happened 6 months ago on the freeway in california. that situation was almost identical.

My 2013 honda accord randomly started turning to the right on its own. until this day the car continues to experience this issue on and off with no pattern. the dealership could not replicate the issue, stated noticed steering wheel hard, cleared both dtc’s and performed all sensor learn, found 1 eps updated and performed update but steering still stiff. raised car and inspected power steering rack but nothing abnormal, hard reset performed but still did not fix the issue after troubleshooting code found service bulletin to replace fuse box assembly. i declined fuse box assembly replacement as the honda mechanic could not guarantee this would fix the issue.

As i was driving i felt my steering wheel jerk violently to the right with no warning, as i continued to drive my steering wheel than jerked towards the right again on its own before locking up. i was not able to turn my wheel which was not only extremely dangerous but also very scary. i was luckily passing by a honda dealership and they confirmed to me that my electric power steering was the reason behind the incident that occured. what is disturbing is that the day before i went to priority honda in chesapeake virginia and they changed my oil and supposedly checked the fluids etc on my car. they provided me with a report that stated my brake fluid was good. the other honda told me i had no brake fluid……….. they marked my power steering fluid as good… i have no power steering. i am considering my options right now and have not ruled out legal action. this was a very scary situation. the icing on top is the fact they spelled my name incorrectly as well as the wrong address…

I was driving and went to take a turn at a top sign and the wheel was turning itself to the right. it did the same after turning and going straight. the wheel was moving itself turning the car right when i was driving

While driving power steering goes out and car pulls to the side causing vehicle to go into other lane! shutting off car and restarting temporarily fixes issue. time between incidents ranges from 2 weeks to a month. first incident was 6 weeks ago and it has happened several times since (tonight being the third).

The paint is peeling on my 2013 honda accord. this seems to be an ongoing issue with the white orchid paint.

Abs control module failure at 174712 diagnosed and replaced by licensed independent service center. cost $450.00 power steering failure at 188,000. still with independent service center. estimated repair cost $900.00 earlier engine replacement required as well with no warning, proper maintenance

Steering wheel spins to the left, i had it evaluated and it was a electrical problem with the steering wheel.

Steering is pulling to the left, mechanic inspected tires, suspension, and rack and pinion. no visible damage. mechanic ran codes-no codes were displayed. vehicle has eps. contacted dealer requested inspection and was given an appointment in 8 days. i believe other 2013 honda accords have experienced this problem. i am widowed so i have no options for alternate drivier, i will continue to drive until dealership can inspect. not happy that the dealership could not look at this issue sooner, it is not like i need an oil change. the consumer stated that there were no further issues after repair.

There is a steering problem. the wheel turns to the right on its own while driving. vehicle was looked at by honda toms river, nj on june 8, 2022. they recommended steering rack replacement. car was driven back home to pa and we are awaiting direction from honda.

Car started not being able to accelerate and shortly after the several warning lights came on and a message says that the fcw system had failed. when these warning lights turn on, the stability and performance of the car is affected. i have read several posts from honda owners having the same issues. honda has not taken responsibility to address the problem. the components affected are due to defective vsa modulator that costs over $1500 and it not easily available.

Car is just randoming not starting, having to get it jumped to start it & pistons are knocking!

Vsa modulator seems to be a defective part in many hondas and honda is not doing anything about it. it is a safety issue the should be taken care by honda. my car has only 100k miles and is needing this repair that is going to cost me over $2000! not fair for a consumer.

Power steering failure, complete power steering rack replacement by honda dealership. symptoms identical to honda warranty extension 5z2, service bulletin #15-056. dealer confirmed no damage to power steering rack. vehicle did not throw dct 53-01 or 53-012 so honda and dealer refused to repair under warranty extension, forcing customer to pay out of pocket. this is the subject of an ongoing nhtsa investigation which began may 2021. the consumer stated that the issue occurred all the time and varying in seriousness. once repaired, the issue did not occur.

Upon start up, the steering wheel was not easy to steer. there were little vibration back and forth. the steering warning light was also illuminated on the dash. the incident did not occur while driving and was apparent immediately on start up. consumer states that the vehicle has yet to be repaired but turning the vehicle off and letting it sit for a short while temporarily helps the issue.

Woke up and went to drive my car and noticed that my sharply pulls to the left if my hand is not occupying the wheel. so i took it to one shop and they said it was my alignment and after they did my vehicles alignemnt i got my car back and the sudden jerk persisted so now i know the issue has more to do with the power steering. i then took my car to another shop and this shop actually told me they arent capable of doing the repair becasue they said it was an issue with something involving something digital and that i could only take the car to get fixed by honda and it costing upwards of $1500. this issue is very hazardous to myself and others due to the fact that if my hand isnt on the steeing wheel at all times my car would do an almost perfect 90 degree hard turn to the left and so i have been avoiding taking it on major highways and being very caustious whenever i take it on the road. i was brought to fill out this report because i read many other people are having the same issue as me with the same year and make of my car and noticed that there was an active investigation into what the cause may be. as far as i could tell i saw no warnings about this issue prior to it happening and it came on very suddenly for no apparent reason.

The contact owns a 2014 honda accord. the contact stated while driving approximately at 55 mph, the power steering failed and the steering wheel veered to the left independently. the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle and safely came to a stop. the contact stated that when she placed the vehicle into park and turned off the engine, the steering wheel again turned to the left with no driver input. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the contact later drove the vehicle to a dealer who diagnosed and determined that the vehicle needed to have the steering rack and pinion assembly replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 106,000. the vin was unavailable.

The steering wheel locked up twice while driving in one week. it was very difficult to steer and make turns. the worming light illuminated both times. had to stop and restart the ignition. felt unsafe because could get into an accident due to the hard steering. the problem was not reproduced or inspected yet.

The eps (electric powering steering) light comes on and i lose all steering control. the steering wheel becomes impossible to turn. this is very unsafe aabd concerning. the first time this happened i had me vehicle towed to honda and they didn’t fix the issue. days later the steering wheel locked up and the eps light came on..she could’ve been seriously hurt or killed!

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle was pulling to the left while driving, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle had not been diagnosed or covered for repair. the contact stated that the rack and pinion had caused of the failure. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The abs modulator has failed. it is available for inspection for $120 at the dealer which does not go towards the repair. i went to an independent shop and was told that they can't figure out the problem because of the complex computer system in hondas. i then had it inspected at honda and was told i need to replace the modulator for $1650 parts and labor. the abs system including the front collision warning and lane departure warning are no longer reliable. if i put off the repair i am at risk of the antilock brake system failing and the brakes locking up, the stability and traction control not working, and the brake pedal may become unresponsive over time. there are 5 warning lights that come on intermittently. this has been happening for the last year. this is a defective part and an ongoing problem for 2013-2015 honda owners with many forums discussing the issue. it can occur with any amount of mileage on the car so that doesn't seem to be a factor.

Factory specification states engine capacity for engine oil is 4.4 quarts, but after replacing the oil 3 times in the 10 months i have owned the car, i have noticed the actual capacity is 5.2 quarts. at 4.4 quarts, dip stick indicates oil at below lowest mark, at 5.2 quarts, it shows right at upper mark. i have google search this fact and there are many other owners or mechanics that have stated this fact. this has caused vtc actuator to be deficient of oil lubricant and rattle loudly and eventually fail. over all oil deficiency will cause engine to fail prematurely.

Eletric power steering was bad making it impossible to drive. had it replaced at auto shop for 2 091 dllars. honda dealer diagnosed it as power steering rack, independent auto shop said same, transmission warning light came on but was cleared by independent auto shop.

The vehicle randomly won't start. then after a few minutes with no intervention will start normally. the battery is new and fully charged. mileage: 83k.

Their is an issue when trying to start the vehicle. when the ignition button is pressed, the engine does not start. instead, their is a grinding and whirring sound. i believe this is coming from the starter. it takes 3-4 attempts to start the car. their are numerous complaints on many forums about this issue.

Got couple of error codes car became undriveable as steering wheel became really heavy and required force to move it paid $1500 to mechanic to fix this issue

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that on several occasions while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine failed to turn over. the contact stated that the engine intermittently turned over and then the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic however, the cause of the failure could not be determined due to no warning lights being illuminated. the dealer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 132,000.

My car just started clicking when trying to crank it. had it tested everything is good but continues to click multiple times before turning over

Since i bought this new accord, i replaced starter 3 times and i only have 73000 miles on it. the third time 4 lights came on. honda company should recall these issues. no accidents

The electric power steering rack is binding up and making the car veer towards the right. it is not an alignment issue was check by honda dealership. it’s a eps , need replacement to correct. it’s a honda accord 2013 and i’m seeing it’s under review due to lots of complaints . the part to fix this issue is also 8-12 months to get . i need my car, and hoping this issue is recalled soon!

The power steering has failed, and just happened all of a sudden. no warning light appears on the dashboard. i can drive it as of right now, but depending on the situation (which changes by the moment) it steers extremely hard or extremely loosely. it's very unstable, and i feel i'd be taking a huge risk if driven on the highway, which is why i'm only taking local trips close to my home, at relatively slow speeds. my local honda dealership (leith honda, raleigh, nc) has diagnosed the issue as a failed rack power steering assembly (part # 53601-t2f-a94), and wants to charge me a small fortune to have it repaired. i view this first and foremost as a safety-related concern

Out of nowhere the power steering gave out. there was no warning of it until the eps dash light came on at the exact time i lost all power steering.

When driving straight the steering will take control and jerk to one side without warning. fowler honda in norman, ok has admitted to knowing of a problem with the steering column related to other incidents but because there is no service codes firing, they will not pay to have the default fixed. this is a major safety concern!!

Sun roof exploded while parked in my driveway

My 2013 honda accord coupe has had severe steering problems for the past year, the steering does not want to respond where i cant even drive my car anymore

The electronic push start button doesn't work all the time. on most occasions, i have to press the push button 10-15 times before it engages. have read many complaints online regarding the same issue, especially for 2013 models.

No warning lights displayed on dashboard. steering wheel began turning right by itself sitting in the driveway in park . i turned it back to the straight position only to have it turn again one half or more rotation. took it to a parking lot ( flat area) it went in a circle by itself. i could stop it with some effort. while driving straight it kept pulling me right hard, not like a crowned road would do! the vehicle was bought new and only has 76,000 miles.

While in traffic and driving around 40 miles per hour, my 2013 accord suddenly took a sharp turn to the left. i was able to fight the steering and control the accord to a stop. the steering was very difficult to manage. the vehicle was not safely under my control, putting the people in the car at risk for an accident, as well as those in near-by vehicles. i have always maintained this car at the honda dealership. there were no indications of problems with the steering previously (no warning lights, no suggestion by honda service that an issue existed, etc.). prior to this sudden failure, the steering worked perfectly. the honda dealership service department diagnosed the issue as failed steering. over the next 24 hours they replaced the rack (since we were traveling this necessitated an extra days stay). no one else has inspected this car.

While using a curved exit ramp my steering locked and i could not turn the wheel and lost control of ability to steer hitting the curb and damaging both the tire rod and rack steering. i could not turn the wheel to move the vehicle and required a tow to move the vehicle. this was an extremally dangerous situation in where i could have easily been hit by another vehicle or been seriously injured. there was a light that did flash on the dashboard but only for a second. there was no other indication that there was a problem with the vehicle. honda service has indicated to me they are aware of any issues with steering on my make and model. i have have a substantial repair bill as the vehicle is not drivable.

Power steering went out while vehicel was in motion and almost caused me to wreck . i was driving on sh 321 , cleveland texas ,turned on blinker to make a left hand turn, upon turning power steering gave out and i was unable to make turn , i had to back up twice to make turn and almost got hit by another vehicle, i have never been through something so scary in my life,

I took my car to a mavis tire to get the tires rotated and balanced. they told me the electronic steering rack failed and is causing significant wear on my left front tire and that they recommended replacing the rack and the inner tie rods as well as replacing the two front tires and realigning them. i got a second opinion and the guy told me that the left front tire belt has been worn down and that the front two tires needed replacing and realignment, but didn't mention the steering rack (he also didn't look under the car, he just drove it and felt the wheel jerking back and forth). i did not tell the second auto shop about the steering rack, as i didn't want it to bias their opinion. my safety has been put at risk because this randomly happened out of nowhere and my tire jerks back and forth while i am driving. the vehicle has only been inspected by these two auto mechanics. there were no warning messages on the dashboard and the second auto shop ran a diagnostic test and confirmed everything checked out alright.

2013 honda accord deadly electronic power steering failure. once the slightest input is received from the operator to move the wheel left, the wheel starts turning on its own in that direction and does not return to center. in some cases, the turn can be abrupt causing the vehicle to steer sharply into oncoming traffic or out of its lane. the problem is so bad that i had to have the fuse for the power steering pulled in order to avoid collisions, especially when my teenage son is operating the vehicle. the vehicle was purchased used with about 111, 000 miles on it and the steering worked for about 30 days. after that the above noted problem occurred without remedy. i made and posted a video that illustrates the problem. please use the link below to see exactly what is happening. https://youtu.be/snilwlmfbm8

Valve cover gasket leaked oil on starter which caused the starter to fail.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 10-15 mph, the vehicle lost power steering functionality intermittently, then completely lost functionality. the steering warning light was illuminated. the contact continued driving to his residence nearby using physical force to steer the vehicle. the vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the power steering module had failed and needed to be replaced. the dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Started noticing problem with steering a few weeks ago. trying to turn left is very loose and oversteers so much that it almost takes me to a u-turn. even driving straight, i often notice the car being pulled to the left like it's trying to make a turn on its own. turning right seems more "normal" but also more difficult that i have to use more force to complete the turn. when i took my car in for state-mandated annual inspection, the inspector immediately notified me something is wrong with the steering rack and wouldn't pass inspection, and i should take the car to a mechanic. manual examination of the car revealed no issues with physical parts, and alignment check also had no issues. so i had another appointment for the electrical system, which diagnosed that the eps (electrical power steering) sensor is failing, giving inaccurate readings, pulling too much to left and "skipping" on right. they informed me this was a known issue with all 2013/2014 honda accords, and i have to spend $3000+ to replace the entire steering rack. upon further research, i became aware that there have been thousands of complaints filed with nhtsa regarding the same issue, and there is a service bulletin 15-056 extending the eps sensor warranty to 13 years. so i took my car to a honda dealer. the technician and the service advisor both recognized the exact same symptoms as described by bulletin 15-056 and recommended the same $3000+ repair to replace the steering rack. however, they said this will not be covered by the extended warranty due to lack of dtc codes. she suggested maybe driving around more until i get a code, which according to the technician, only happens upon a catastrophic failure of the torque sensor. i contacted american honda, and my request for coverage was out-right rejected. only 41k miles on the car and had been so scared driving since issue started. outrageous to me they want me to drive dangerously until sensor completely fails when it's a known issue for years.

I was backing out of my driveway on to my street when i felt something off with the steering. the steering wheel was very very hard to turn and kept pulling to the right on its own. i managed to get the car in front my house and had the car towed to a honda repair shop. honda diagnosed a power steering unit failure without any dtc code. i was very lucky i wasn't driving in traffic since i had no control.

My car has had problems turning on. the alternator and battery had been changed twice in the past 4 years. i’ve recently changed the battery and alternator and my car still has that problem of turning on my mecanic said it could be the starter now. so battery, alternator and starter problems.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the power steering malfunctioned, and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. additionally, the power steering warning light remained illuminated with the "check charger system" message displayed. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the local dealer was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not yet contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

Ever since i bought the vehicle, there are times when i cold start that the vehicle moves slowly. and pressing the gas moves the car at 1/10th the power that i am used to. not every time, but particularly pronounced when cold. once it warms up and this low power goes away.

Steering wheel is turning to the left on its own and slightly stiff when turning to the right. i recently did a wheel alignment and changed tie rod end inner and outer driver and passenger side front i presently live in the bahamas

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while starting the vehicle, there were unknown warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to be diagnosed. the contact was involved that the vehicle stability assist (vsa) module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 146,870.

Since 2022 i have been having abs brake modulator problem. dealer said it will cost $1700. i have noticed 80% of honda customers have complained about this to honda manufacturer but they are refusing to fix it.

Vehicle (2013 honda accord) repeatedly drifts and pulls to the left while driving under normal conditions; regardless of my speed (10 mph-75mph). i have come close to crossing the center lane into oncoming traffic. i took my vehicle to the honda dealership for inspection and a wheel alignment and was told i needed to replace the steering rack. the technician stated he had seen this issue before stating the wheel just spun when on the machine. additionally, i took my vehicle to a local certified mechanic that took my vehicle for a test drive and immediately stated the issue was the steering rack.

2013 honda accord. consumer stated that vehicle failed to start after pushing the auto start button. the consumer had to pay almost $700 to replace relay box in the vehicle.

Drivers side front door and passenger rear door lock actuator failed to lock and unlock doors. no warning lamps. could not access door and could not open doors from inside. 2013 accord sport.

I turned on my car and i couldn’t move my wheel left or right. it felt like it was locked. i drove a little forward out of my driveway and i was able to turn my wheel a little bit but i had to do it with great force. the power steering or system failed and made my car unsafe to drive. i couldn’t turn the wheel left or right only forward. there were no warning signs that this failure was going to occur. i contacted honda accord san leandro and they said it’s a common problem but not covered. the manufacturer stated it is not a defect and they would charge me to fix it. they will not cover it under warranty.

Abs light, steering, tire pressure and traction light came on while i was parked the dash just lit up when i went to the mechanic he said the same car between 13-16 he has gotten 12 different complaints since week only when checked all came up as faulty abs module.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that after parking and returning to the vehicle 30-minutes later, there was an abnormal burning odor inside the cabin of vehicle. the contact discovered a small burn mark on the center of the front passenger’s side seat. the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. the local dealer was not yet contacted. the failure mileage was 80,000.

For no known reason numerous warning lights appeared on dashboard (steering, ldw, fcw failure, brakes, low tire pressure). power steering completely stopped working. it appears abs, lane departure warning and forward collision warning systems all stopped working. glad this happened to me and not my wife. it is her car. dangerous as heck!

The electronic power steering started pulling right unexpectedly. it started without any warning or indication. one day i just started the engine, started driving and power steering began to pull the car to right side. the dealer diagnosed the car and found no error codes and no damage. dealer said i need to replace entire electric power steering rack.

The trunk will not close properly. it appears as if the trunk itself is not even. there is a gap on the side that is larger than the area on the left side. almost as if the trunk was pulled from another vehicle that wasn't quite the same model. the trunk latch does not close on the first try nor the second or third. now its not closing at all. just bought the vehicle feb. 28, 2023 and already having issues. it was sporadic now it wont close at all.

Started vehicle and power steering was not functioning. steering light illuminated on dashboard. car was towed to dealership who started they secured the connection and the problem would not happen again. two days later exact same issue occurred, no power steering and extremely difficult to steer.

No accident to report. just feel the vsa brake modulator part should be a honda recall. mine has failed… and i see online that the connector wires are too thin, and this vsa brake modulator is a widespread problem in honda accords from 2012-17. all the dashboard warning lights kick on. anti skid, fcw, abs!

Good day on may 14, 2023. driving on the highway in nyc and axle broke almost causing a major accident. my model car and year and also region is listed for a recall on the same part however my vin was not included.

About six months ago the starter began to malfunction. it has malfunctioned intermittently ever since. a week ago my wife who drives this car told me the car fails to start more often as she goes to pick up our grandchildren and she is afraid it will simply quit working at all. i am fearing the same thing. she says it makes a clicking or grinding noise and the the dash board lights all come on. after several tries it has started, but i am afraid it will leave them stranded in an unsafe situation. these problems with the 2013-2017 honda accords are well know and documented. these cars should be recalled to address this issue. it's a crime that they haven't been. in many cases persons have spent a great deal of money without a solution. o'daniel honda in omaha gave me a price of $818. to replace the starter motor. yet for some people the problem is ongoing even after replacing the starter motor! why hasn't a recall been issued?

The abs modulator assembly vsa for my honda accord lx-s coupe is failing. my dashboard has several lights on the dash indicating an issue with abs system. a mechanic (russell & smith honda) in houston, tx inspected my car on wednesday, june 7 and indicated that the abs system needs to be replaced. the abs modulator needs to be recalled because the wiring inside the modulator is incredibly thin. this is the only module that is failing and has this type of wiring thus creating a broken circuit. honda should have instead created a circuit board with thicker wiring and act as a connector itself. honda should be held responsible to creating a safer abs modulator. this is a major safety concern as it affects thousands of people owning this vehicle and increases the likelihood of a brake malfunction. this can cause accidents and it is a costly fix for consumers. i am requesting a recall on this part.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 60 mph in the rain, the windshield wipers stopped operating as needed. the contact was able to continue driving at slower speeds. the dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

Approximately 7-8 months ago in 2022, i started noticing something unusual with the steering for my mother's (original owner) 2013 honda accord. initially i thought it may have been a defect in the road. in may of 2023, i noticed a significant change in the steering, and that it was a lot tighter and harder to turn (while driving or stationary). also, if i did not hold the steering wheel firmly while driving, the steering wheel would jerk abruptly, changing my intended path of travel. this issue could potentially cause an accident. i immediately had the vehicle diagnosed at a honda dealer, and they confirmed that it was a electrical power steering rack issue. the dealer advised me that american honda extended the warranty coverage on all electrical power steering torque sensors for this vehicle, however, the vehicle needed to display a certain code during the diagnosis. unfortunately, my vehicle did not display the required code and it was not covered under the extended warranty. the service advisor suggested that i contact american honda to help resolve the issue, being that it was an electrical power steering issue and it should have been covered. american honda conducted their investigation and denied my claim. i believe this should have been covered under the warranty because it is an electrical power steering issue.

Abs module is a common issue on these vehicles i think it’s ridiculous that owners have to come out of pocket 2600$ for a part that should be recalled ! the part is on back order and has been for almost a year now and it’s impossible to get it anywhere else . please do something about this as i love honda but have never delt with something like this before . i would hate to have to switch to a different car at another company !

On june 26, 2023, while driving on highway 41 in fresno, california from friant road to shaw avenue lcd screen displayed suddenly cracked in half without warning.

The steering wheel locked up. eps light shows up. the car engine is functional and starts, the fuses are good. one cannot rotate the steering wheel, it is completely locked up.

An incident has not occurred, however, if i keep driving there may be one with the brake controls. the vsa modular unit has gone haywired and now my brakes are getting stuck and not sure if when i stop they may not work due to the system lights appearing. honda dealer says it's faulty and when looking the problem up, seems like most hondas get this problem. this should be safety recall, especially if your warranty has run out. costly and aggravating.

The vehicle began pulling hard to the left without any incident to cause this. tires were replaced but the mechanic could not get the vehicle properly aligned. replaced struts and the wheels still would not align. the dealer was unable to find a cause for this. there are no codes or warnings.

All dash lights come on. fcw system failure. abs/vsa module failed is what me and a lot of other people with the same car, have the same issues. abs brake module to replace is $1100 and on backorder and alot of people can't drive there cars, some have had issues that almost caused accidents, mine seems to run fine for now, just started happening. honda needs to do something about this, way to many people have this problem and honda should be way more reliable and helpful for this common failure.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while the vehicle was idling, the lane departure, forward collision avoidance, traction control, and power steering warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the abs modulator was defective and needed to be replaced. the contact stated that the warning lights remained illuminated and over time, the power steering assist failed to operate as needed. the contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle due to the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Power steering failed with no indication that the car needed service. thankfully i was close to home and able to return safely.

Abs, brake, tcs and psc lights illuminated indicative of vsc modulator failure at 122,000 miles. dealer stated part needs replacement. too many issues on this issue to not be addressed by honda.

All the lights came on, on the dash board. further research i found out the abs module went out. could hear noise when braking, abs brakes not catching. no one has one since so many other honda accords are having the same issue. found one at a dealership for $2000 but can't afford that part plus labor. it's been over a month and still looking.

My dashboard is lit up like a christmas tree. went to dealer who found the abs control module went out. the nation is out of this part as it is a common problem. there are several articles on the web that discuss how these have gone out and there is no where to buy the part and is not recalled yet. abs system will not engage without this which is extremely unsafe. apparently this is effecting 2013-2107 accords.

The abs module has failed. i am receiving warning lights on my dash which caused me to pull off the road. after online research, i discovered this is a common problem with this make/model. so much so, that there is a national backorder for this part. my mechanic says that i can drive the car and the abs system will not work in the event that i might need it. online forums tell me that the system might activate and cause the brakes to lock up. this seems very unsafe to me and a widespread problem that honda should address.

Driving vehicle and dashboard lit up like christmas. lights included fcw, abs, lane departure, etc. shut vehicle down and lights turned off upon starting the car, but quickly came back on and now they are on for good. i took it to the gary smith honda in fort walton beach, florida. they ran a diagnostic check and reported code 66-11, pressure sensor circuit malfunction, vsa modulator is faulty. dealership quoted $2,600 to fix issue. dealer advised vehicle is not safe to drive as brakes could lock up and traction control is faulty. i looked on youtube and found this to be a wide-spreed issue with more than 10k views on each video where mechanics were discussing the issue and providing repair tips. i’m encouraging everyone in the comments to file a complaint with nhtsa as several are already on file and it appears the honda pilot already has a recall for this exact issue.

During normal driving, power steering would become more or less sensitive. this was especially noticeable during turns, where the steering wheel would suddenly jerk hard into the turn, sometimes requiring both hands on the wheel to counteract the excessive turn rate.

When driving the steering makes vehicle lean to the right. and when parked, it leans all the way to the right, locks up and the steering caution light comes on.

1.i was driving back from work on 7/17/2023 when i noticed the steering wheel suddenly felt too loose - steering had excessive free play. with utmost caution drove the car back to garage. 2.took it to the honda dealer on 7/18/2023 for inspection. 3.the honda service diagnosis was power steering rack assembly failure and the recommendation was to replace the power steering rack assembly. 4.the honda service has recommended not to drive the car with unsafe steering unit and it has been garaged since then.

The abs module failure all of the dashboard light are on due the a faulty abs module, youtube and other honda forums reported the same problems. the abs module is poorly designed the connectors are very thin and they break apart with the vehicle vibration, the abs dashboard light, steering control dashboard light, traction control dashboard light,tpms dashboard light all are in the abs module control unit. honda need to issue a recall for the abs module failing after 35k miles of its vehicles its a safety issue and it should be dressed. thank you

Abs modulator failed

I was backing my car out of my driveway. i put my car in drive and my driver side drive shaft snapped in half.

My family and i were driving home then out of nowhere the steering wheel turned all the way left and after a while it went in random directions. if my hand was off the wheel anytime while driving the car would’ve crashed into the side rail or another driver. there were no warning signs that this would happen and there are no dash lights indicating a problem.

I got off work and went to car and open the door and it was smoke everywhere the electricity problem occurred between the radio dash and the middle car components everything is burned and melted through in the middle and i have sent in pictures to the car max claims to investigate.

Antilock brake system module failure/solenoid causing multiple engine light failure and transmission

The abs modulator failed causing all abs, brake, seat belt and steering lights to go on.

The electronic power steering sensor has malfunctioned. if you are driving the car forward, out of nowhere and without warning the steering wheel will pull violently to the left into incoming traffic.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 25 mph, the vehicle started jerking upon depressing the accelerator pedal. the check engine, the vehicle stability assist (vsa), the electric power steering, tpms, forward collision avoidance, and the lane departure warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 162,000.

Vehicle steering wheel will turn left or right. if there isn't correcting the steering wheel vehicle will not drive straight.

When i bought the car about one month ago, the car would pull slightly to the left and get worse when i would go to stop. a week and a half ago it got a lot worse and now if you take any pressure off the steering wheel it will turn completely to the left. also, turning to the right is extremely difficult. the car is not safe to drive in this state. mechanics have said that it is the torque sensor in the steering rack that has gone bad.

My vehicle currently has the tpms, vsa(stabilty/abs),electric power steering, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning lights are on. i brought my vehicle to a local tire discounters. they scanned for the codes and it brought up the vsa modulator (aka abs module) malfunction. i researched through forums and it is a common issue with honda abs module. the vsa/abs module has to be replaced due to electrical issues within the module. this could lead to a crash/injury.

Vsa modulator is faulty causing the abs system to fail. honda dealerships are telling customers it is safe to drive

My eps light came on and could not steer the car. it would not turn either left or right. i had car towed to garage who told me power steering rack. i called honda dealership who told me i had o have it towed to them. i had towed to them and they told me eps control unit. the only warning was the eps light. why is my car not part of 15-550 or 15-056. there has been numerous issues with this year make and model when will it be resolved now that i’m having to pay $1300 and over $300 for towing

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the abs warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the abs module failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the parts were on backorder. the failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

Abs modulator failed, cannot pass inspection. dashboard lights are all on. this is a safety issue

Abs solenoid valve malfunction. vsa solenoid malfunction

I purchased this car from trickett honda in june 2013. the mileage on 9/11/23 was 23,602 (the day of the rear wheel hub bearing repair). this car was used primarily by my wife and driven mostly in town for short trips (14 to 25 miles round trip to and from home), seldom trips to nashville and back. my wife started complaining about what she called “road noise” 4 or 5 years ago. i occasionally drove the car and it was loud, but i thought it might just be tires, but the tires looked ok. i do remember being on the interstate hwy at 75 and noticed a high noise level. my wife recently had to drive her brother to nashville for doctor appointments and he told her he thought the noise was from a bad wheel bearing. so, i started searching on google for 2013 honda accord noise problems and found many references. one was a honda engineering request for investigation (copy attached). in order to qualify the vin must start with 1hg (my vin). it said to call technical research & support at 800-880-1072 and i did. trs told me to contact music city honda and i gave them the info (case number etc.) and they told me they knew nothing about honda requesting that they look at the car. the guy i talked with said they would charge $150 just to get in the car and drive it. so, i called gallatin honda, got transferred to the service dept., told to leave a message and they never called back. so, i called murfreesboro honda and the service guy said it would cost $450 labor plus parts to fix one rear wheel bearing. i took it to hight’s auto repair and mr. hight got in with me and drove the car and told me the noise was from one or both rear hub bearings and it was just one and he fixed it for $325.67 (invoice attached). he said we are lucky that nothing bad happened (like the wheel coming off). he gave me the bad wheel hub bearing in case honda wants it. apparently honda knows about this problem and is not fixing it. there is something wrong with a bearing that goes bad this quick.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 10 mph, the steering wheel was firm. additionally, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle in a reasonable amount of time. the contact also stated that the transmission was shifting rough while driving. several unknown warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the abs module needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the part to repair the vehicle was not available. the failure mileage was approximately 190,000. the vin was unavailable.

While driving on a straight roadway the electric power steering indicator light came on and the steering became very difficult. i was able to steer with effort to the side of the road and park. this incident just happened an hour ago and has not yet been checked by a service center. my husband met me, started the car and drove home without further incident.

Daughter driving in speed lane in indiana at speeds over 70mph- steering locked up completely as she was surrounded by semis. thank god she responded and handled the situation - she could have been killed. now car is in repair on what is known to be common failure, but no recall. she is 6 hours away from vehicle now at college. part will take 8 weeks. honda doing nothing to provide her with a vehicle. i am sick honda has not issued this as a recall. she could have died. this is very common problem.

While driving down the road my power steering went out without warning and then light came on, i turned the car off/on several different times and the power steering is still out. i was able to make it home without incident but that was not a safe feeling.

Honda service has reported i need a vsa modulator assembly replaced and they want me to order this part now which is on backorder for at least 2-3 months. car had 87,000 miles at time of inspection. i have tried to source this assembly from various honda dealers and parts distributors to no avail. cost will be $2,800 to replace. there are many other honda owners experiencing this same problem but honda will not cover the costs and seem to have no way to expedite the parts. they have started a vsa recall in newer honda models on a limited basis. the vsa modulator is a safety feature on the car and i notice a difference in the stability and braking of the car. i am sure if i have an accident, the fact that the lights are on the dashboard will negate my insurance coverage if it can be related specifically to the vsa modulator. this is unacceptable why are so many owners affected by this and yet honda is getting away with it. this honda is no where near the quality of my first honda accord in 1999.

The abs module seems to fail on all 2013 honda accords and many other year models as well. this causes the antilock break system to not work properly, potentially causing a very serious accident. the quoted replacement from a honda dealer is over $2k which is very cost prohibitive for many people. i'm sure you have received many complaints on this and if you don't believe the severity of this please look on any online car repair forum and you can see the countless drivers with this issue. honda needs to pay for this not stick unsuspecting customers with a very expensive repair.

Electronic power steering failure. pulls dangerously to the left after failure. very hard to steer, no eps warning light or indication of any problems prior to failure.

The car accelerates when i’m trying to brake.

Vsa module failure. anti lock brakes will not work unless repaired. honda dealer quoted repair over 2500.00 dollars. know issue of poor quality design and use of inferior parts to make module failure imminent.

In december 2022, i took my 2013 honda accord sedan 2.4l ex 4-door to the same honda dealership where i purchased the vehicle new in december 2012. the car had 81.5k miles on it then, and the issue was with steering and having to always hold the wheel tightly with pressure to the right as it consistently wanted to pull left. after confirming this was not an alignment issue, the honda dealer put it up on the rack and confirmed the wheel turned quickly all the way to the left, even when idling (i have video of this). there were no stored trouble codes so they performed a torque sensor clear and steering torque learn, which seemed to fix the issue. note there is a warranty extension (from 5 to 13 years) by honda for the eps torque sensor (dtc 53-01 or dtc 53-03), for all 2013-14 accords; however my vehicle did not show either of those diagnostic codes. now in november 2023 (83.4k miles), the steering has failed again, pulling left but also suddenly becoming tight while steering and then suddenly going slack; at times if i let go of the wheel (safely), the wheel rotates quickly all the way left exactly as it did when up on the rack under a year ago. took it back to the same honda dealership service department and, after being asked if i knew i was supposed to drive with two hands on the wheel, left the car with them to check out. the same issue occurred for them. they said they hadn’t seen this issue before and didn’t know if it was an issue with the rack or the control module (which are separate components on my model), and that they had to call the honda engineers to find out where the issue was and what to work on. a day later they were told the rack was the issue and needed to be replaced. the rack itself is $1800 and with labor would cost over $3k. i looked online and saw that many others with the same make/model/year had posted that they have these exact issues, which makes it seem that there is a major (and unsafe) flaw in honda’s design.

The steering wheel stopped turning smoothly and would occasional turn toward the right erratically. the car is available for inspection upon request. since now the steering wheel will occasional move on it's own or become more difficult to turn, the car is now more difficult to drive and thereby more of a safety risk. the steering problem was confirmed by a local mechanic. the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative regarding this issue. there has been no warning lamps or messages on the dashboard in regards to this steering issue.

My vehicle was inspected at a honda dealership in the state of co & it all appears the vsa modulator unit have an internal failure & it’s not functioning properly. due to this effective issue the traction control would not be able to operate appropriately & it can cause an accident & endanger my life in traffic & other people’s life. unfortunately, the vsa modulator unit is “nationally” out of stock & unable to find the vsa modulator unit.

The abs module has failed on my 2013 honda accord lx. the abs system may not function properly in reducing braking distances and could cause the car to slide in wet or slippery conditions increasing the chances of a collision or loss of vehicular control while driving. the car was taken to a honda specialist and upon inspection, the vehicle was diagnosed to have a faulty abs module. the quoted repair was in excess of $2000 usd. the abs, power steering, tpms check tire, traction control warning lights are all on indicating an issue with aforementioned faulty abs module. the warning lights all appeared simultaneously in february, 2023. diagnostics were run and all error codes indicated a faulty abs (vcs) module

I get a light that comes on my dash board that says “failed fcw system”.. most of the time it is on. rarely it will go off the screen. sometimes my car will randomly beep to signal that something is infront of me when there is nothing infront of me, which is what i believe to be an issue with the fcw system. this is startling and distracting to me while driving, as it is supposed to signal and keep me safe from potentially hitting objects infront of me, but it has proven itself unreliable for what its purpose is. also with the “failed fcw system” message on the dash, it has my other lights signaled such as the air pressure light for my tires as well as the oil light so i never know when my tires actually need air, etc…

Intermittent warning signal lights on on all three components: abs, power steering, tpms. it is being shown on the internet and youtube that the abs module has faulty soldering inside that connections break easily. we need honda to recall this as this is a known problem if you search around on the internet.

The seat belt buckle in the back seat on the right side just easily came right out. if i were to have gotten in an accident whoever was sitting there could have been badly hurt due to the seat belt buckle malfunction. i still have yet to get if fixed because it is such a serious safety issue i’m unsure of who to trust to fix it to where it is as safe as it was supposed to have been

Drove the car to work as me return to the car …. car won’t rollover or starters …. after 2 1/2 week from purchase it from the dealership eastern motors… after calling me in a taking away the warranty back … car stops working 3 days afterwards

Car power steering wheel was not function, i couldn't turn the power steering wheel and the wheel was shaking, luckily it's not happened while i was driving, the problem occurred when i started the car, there was warning lamps on the dash boards, it happened a few time and i was scare to drive the car. car was towed to dealer and dealer diagnostic code 34-05 power relay stuck off, it costed me $920 to fix, i saw online so many complains with this model year about the same problem, my car only has 80k miles and always service at dealer. i wrote to honda corporation and open a complain, they want me to sent all the dealer papers and proof of payment, they said i could get help with the payment in 9 weeks, after 8 weeks i follow up with them and they said they didn't get the paper ( i sent through email reply like they told me) so i took my time and re- sent the papers again, took a lot of my time to upload all the paper they required. finally they said they got it and the manager will contact me, i got a called and the manager said they will have to confirm with the dealer, took another 2 weeks and after that they call me and said honda corporation will reimburse me only $300, took another two weeks to finally get a check from them, totally 3 months from the time i open a case, what a joke! please have this car recall and make honda pay for all the fixing cost since this happened to a lots of vehicle on the road.

Info entertainment system. it was going on and off i took it to honda and the price was well over $1,200. i have taken my car for maintenance only to honda and think that at 120,000 miles after i replaced the starter a month before that this car should be working in full condition. i am a senior and now the radio bluetooth cameras are no longer available. called honda customer service to ask for help i know 2013 was the first year they used this system because i have and xl accord. when i called the rep she said honda had a goodwill program and sure they could help me ,then the second girl called and customer service and said please send me your car dealers mechanic price and diagnostics. i scan them in and sent it to her next day the third person in customer service called and said oh i'm sorry you are over the 90,000 warranty. but i told her customer service lady number one never said anything about the goodwill program being s 90,000 mile warrenty. a bulony story. no help either from the email i sent to a mr corbin vp vomplaunts. now i have to drive around and as a senior i would like to have my cameras working anda radio. bluetooth . i have no working camera and all the maintenance i have done on the car i am really upset i do not have any of it and i cannot go very far for example when a family member got very sick i could not travel in dark to that area because the car is not helpful without that connection.. yes i can use the gps on my phone but it is ridiculous that now that i have paid this car off that at 120,000 miles i'm going to have to get rid of it and i just can't afford a new one. they should fix it for less than $1,300. as a senior i really need the cameras working and i've never heard of any car without a radio. i know now that the younger cars also have the info system problem on recall. mine should also be on that recall list. can you help? i feel they left me rude, without even a sorry or suggestion

Pretty sure it has something to do with the electrical power steering. the car will randomly steer to the left by its self it will do it driving or just running it does it all the time. i have videos and paper record of eveything from multiple sources. it could kill somebody and hurt others in the process. it wouldn’t let me upload the files. if they are needed

Abs control module went out, causing all of my dash lights to turn off and on intermittently. on top of that, car isn’t braking properly.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 30 mph, the power steering became inoperable. the contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to steer. the contact stated that the steering wheel was pulling to the left. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the power steering unit. the local dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was not notified about the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

The steering suddenly became hard to turn right on a freeway going at 60 miles per hour (and came to normal in about 10 seconds) and then in about 10 more minutes when i took a left turn exiting the freeway, the steering remained stuck going left and had to pull it back to center with some effort. got it checked with a honda dealer and they say something is wrong with the eps system, where some torque value at rest is incorrect. there is a 13 year extended warranty for eps torque sensor but only if certain codes show up. unfortunately those torque sensor dtc codes do not show up on my vehicle and they say it could be a shorted eps motor and hence it's not being covered in warranty and the current recommendation is changing the entire steering rack and i'm asked to pay out of pocket. there are lot of eps complaints for 2013 accord

The passenger side window stop and starts and when it gets to full close, it opens back up on its own a few inches. for another honda accord that i own if the same year, the passenger window does not go up/down from the drivers side.

Lost ability to steer vehicle. it was impossible to steer the car. the car was running on and in one instance moving at low sped in my own driveway. there have been 3 instances when this happens. the problem went away after turning the car off and restarting the vehicle. 2) the starter won’t start on occasion as it takes multiple attempts to start vehicle. 3) i had to replace the starter and also a sensor forward collision sensor so the entire dashboard display for every light would turn off. literally, every light on the dashboard turns on, even for low tire pressure. the bidders concern from operation perspective is the steering. there’s no doubt in my mind that this is a critical and serious defect with this make and model of the 2013 honda accord. i looked online and there are literally thousands of reports of the same issue. there are complaints of uncontrollable steering too. one gentleman did a youtube video demonstrating what’s happening. i will do the same for the steering in this vehicle the next time it happens. why hasn’t the nhtsa issued a mandatory recall and forced honda to make this recall happen now. i hope this isn’t a political decision because i know lives are in serious jeopardy with this loss of ability to steer the vehicle with no warning. lastly, i’ve bought and owned 5 honda in my lifetime: 3 honda accords, 1 odyssey and 1 pilot and i’ve never needs to file a complaint in the past as they’ve always been a reliable, safe vehicle. i’m extremely concerned about this problem and i urge nhtsa and honda to do the right thing and issue an immediate recall to remedy this issue. you are now aware of this issue in a formal complaint and it appears that there are already several thousand complaints based on what’s online. please take action.

The steering system failed/malfunction. when turning the wheel counter-clockwise, the steering wheel jerks and temporarily shuts down the vehicle even while driving. steering wheel has failed during the middle of a left hand turn in multiple intersections. very unsafe and scary situation when the car does not respond or perform any inputs when the drive is trying to correct/move the wheel. the steering wheel stiffens and is unable to be moved for a few seconds while the car is on drive. the problem has been confirmed by the dealer but stated since there are no codes provided, they are unable to service the vehicle and are unsure what that issue is and what may be causing it. vehicle has been inspected by multiple honda dealerships, no one is able to determine what is causing this issue *but they can reproduce it) no warning lamps or messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. issue first became apparent and has been getting progressively worse about 2 year ago (150,000 miles)

I have had car serviced faithfully since ownership in 2013. last visit to dealer i was informed that the vsa modulator control unit has malfunctioned. it’s very concerning that there has not been a recall on this since it impacts brakes, tires, steering. i am requesting a replacement of this modulator at no charge.

Dear nhtsa, i am writing to urgently bring to your attention a pervasive issue with the starter in honda accord 2013 models equipped with a push-start system. the problem began in january 2023, leading to the replacement of the car battery, brakes, and tire sensors. despite these efforts, the issue persisted, prompting the replacement of the starter in december 2023. however, within two weeks, the newly replaced starter failed again. the problem recurred on january 09, 2024, despite cumulative repairs exceeding $3000. i have found numerous online complaints from other honda accord 2013 owners, indicating a widespread problem that requires immediate investigation to ensure the safety of vehicle owners. if additional information or clarification is required, please do not hesitate to contact me at [xxx] sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel independently jerked to the right. there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and was diagnosed with a defective electric power steering (eps) gear box. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under warranty or recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 124,419.

Car driving normally until sudden power steering failure. steering wheel stayed straight when i tried to veer left - i had to use two hands to steer for the rest of the drive. this could’ve been dangerous in the initial moments as i was driving downhill and around a curve in wet weather. no dash lights have come on, and i haven’t driven it again yet. car hasn’t been inspected yet as it’s friday afternoon.

Steering completely locked up. no errors or warnings appeared on the dashboard so the car was towed in for repairs. the dealership updated eps software to fix the issue.

For a couple of months, my honda accord 2013 ex 4-cylinder engine has had a sporadic inability to start the vehicle. there are times i had to press the start button several times (2-6 times) and once it starts the car runs smoothly. the vehicle's mileage was 84,000 when it started having the starter problem. i replaced the battery with a new one assuming it was the battery but the sporadic inability to start the vehicle remained the same.

Unknown

The abs module on the vehicle has failed. after searching for the issue online, i have discovered that this is a common problem with several years of hondas but there has not been a recall of this defective piece of equipment.

Unknown lost all power steering have changed battery starter and alternator trying to fix the problem electrical power steering!

A steering failure. unable to steer the car. it goes to the left and steering wheel is not returned to the center and kept turning out of my lane. i've brought the car in authorized honda dealer on 1/29/24 for full maintenance service on 1/29/24 and there are no recalls on this issue.

When driving, the car's steering will jerk sporadically. it is also incredibly hard to turn the wheel. the inspection by the honda dealer has proven that it is the power steering rack is faulty. something has gone wrong and it is making the car dangerous to drive. my safety is at risk because if the car jerks suddenly, i will crash either into a structure or another vehicle likely resulting in death at high speeds. there is no warning light at all. this seems related to the formal safety probe open in may 2021 for 2013-2015 honda accords. i have been doing research and a lot of people are posting about it online.

Steering wheel hard and solf at times hit a dip in the road and it will jerk the wheel to the left it has jerk the wheel out of my hands making a left turn if you not holding it firmly with both hands an they extended the warranty for 13 years an then tell you it has to throw a code before they will fix it under warranty this should be recalled its very dangerous nothing but a scam to keep from replacing an charge u 85 dollars to tell you the rack needs replacement 2900 dollar what a sham do yall job an recall these cars .

On 1/24/24, we were driving at about 65 mph. with no warning, fcw, ldw, abs, tire pressure and check engine lights as well as fcw system failure reported on dash. the car slowed to about 20-25mph and sounded rough. cars behind were going with speed of traffic (about 65) and had to break behind us and were honking their horns at us despite emergency flashers on. we pulled over and turned off engine for a few minutes. we turn engine back on and warning lights were off and we could drive normally again. we thought it was a glitch. about three weeks later on 2/21/24, we were on a highway pass over mountain traveling about 65mph. the lights came on again and car slowed again to about 25mph. this was very dangerous on a pass with many cars accelerating around us on the uphill part of the pass. we had to pull over again. we turned engine back on but fcw and ldw lights remained on. we were able to drive normally again. when we got home, i took the car to a mechanic who did a diagnostic test and replaced the high pressure fuel pump. the fcw and ldw lights remained on as well as notification of fcw system failure. the mechanic said he did not have recalibration equipment and i would have to go to honda dealer for recalibration. i have an appointment on 3/6/24 with honda for recalibration. i have since gone online and see many honda owners are having this occur with various fixes but the problem has recurred for many owners. this is very dangerous and needs to be addressed asap before a collision occurs and possible death of those involved as a result.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that there was a vibrating rumbling sound while starting the vehicle. the abs warning light was illuminated. the contact related the failure to nhtsa id number: 10088442 (electrical system) however, the vehicle was not included. the vehicle had not been taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 140,000.

While driving on [xxx] in south carolina (we are from ohio and were on a vacation to celebrate [xxx]) we started our turn into the left lane to pass a vehicle when the steering wheel suddenly sharply turned on its own and shot us towards the medium and oncoming traffic. as my husband was able regain control and hard steer to the right before we hit oncoming traffic we were, as you can imagine, terrified. we were able to steer the car to a safe pull off and tried to recover our nerves and start the process of figuring out what was happening and what we were going to do as we were so far away from home. i googled the problem we were having and learned that we were not alone in having this steering system problem. i was extremely disappointed to learn that this was a known problem but there had been no recall. we had no indications nor any information that this could occur. we located a honda dealership approximately 22 miles from our location and decided we would carefully try to get to that location. at the dealership we were told it was a known problem but they would have to locate parts, which they did in atlanta, and have them overnighted if possible. they were very helpful, drove us to a hotel which we paid for, as we waited for parts to arrive. while fixing the electronic steering system they located another issue with another electronic box that had something to do with the starter which needed to be replaced as well. each of these problems i came to understand were known to honda, and i believe nhtsa, but no recalls were issued. i'm sorry but i believe that the potential to be killed and to kill others due to the failure of the electronic steering system while driving a vehicle that is known to have these problems is a recall and should be repaired and replaced at honda's expense not those that invested in what they considered a safe vehicle. our bill for these repairs was $3,826. 41. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Abs control module failure. this is a safety issue because it causes the anti-lock brakes and traction control to not work. cost of repair $2,537.95 at honda dealership. representative seen the lit up dashboard and knew exactly what the issue was before technician even diagnosed it. told me that the chip to fix it has been out of stock for well over a year.

This fcw failure appears to be a common issue for the honda accord. the honda declaration is claiming that it is the abs module that is causing this issue. several posts are on the internet concerning this safety issue in these vehicles.

My car meets all the issues explained in recall from nhtsa [xxx]. the gas tank and the fuel service neck are not well connected and gas leaks out causing the engine light to stay on. the car meets production date, issue and the vin is actually included in the range provided by honda to [xxx] . but somehow my vin isnt recalled information redacted pursuant to the freedom of informati[on act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that upon shifting the vehicle to drive with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle suddenly jolted forward. later, while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to decelerate, the vehicle suddenly downshifted, losing motive power. no warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who was able to diagnose the failure, but the contact was unable to recall the diagnostic result. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 69,000.

Abs contol module failure. error code 81-19. ther is a major defect with the modules failing from 2013 through 2017 hondas. there are so many failing that there are no parts in the market and the part cost around $1600. this is a safety concern as abs breaks can lock up.

Hoping to take care of the starter grinding on startup for my 2013 honda accord v6… it’s a known issue with the 2013-2017 accord v6 redesigned starter (starter part number 31200-5g0-a02). honda's fix (tsb 16-002) is yet another redesigned starter (redesign of the redesigned starter part number 31200-5g0-a04 ), plus a one time only one hole rotation of the flywheel. in the tsb 16-002 it states: if replacing the starter with the redesigned starter and rotating the flywheel doesn't work, then the next course of action is to replace the torque converter (which is not cheap and who knows if it’s a good fix…really). i had the starter and engine battery replaced before on this car at a honda dealership to correct the problem. needless to say, it did not correct the screeching noises upon pushing the start engine button. the safety of the driver and the occupants will be in peril when being stuck in hazardous weather (storms, heat alert indexes, snow, freezing weather) without the ability to start the car. this is a design flaw that honda clearly knows about with no solution in sight. i already had this repaired before at a honda dealership, but it never corrected the problem. honda needs to initiate a recall since it knows it’s a massive problem by issuing a technical service bulletin (tsb 16-002).

The car will steer on its on its will fully turn all the way to left by its self and then is quite harder to steer back to the right. you will have to fight with the wheel to keep the car going straight. i have look around quit a bit and have found multiple complaints about this exact issue.

Our 2013 honda accord driveshaft fractured completely under a low condition when accelerating from a stop straight into a busy intersection. as a result, with the drive train now disabled i had just enough motion to coast a couple of car lengths, across the adjacent gap in the turning lane traffic, to the side of the road stopping adjacent to the curb halfway around the corner. as the corner was heavily traveled by semi-trailer traffic, i needed to get corner cleared as soon as possible to avoid causing an additional traffic hazard. fortunately, there were those who stopped to help push the car up a hill and clear the way for other vehicles attempting to negotiate the corner. i currently have the defective part in my possession. due to the location in a busy intersection other including myself were at risk trying to clear the roadway. the repair shop mechanic inspected the failed drive shaft as well as my local honda service manager. i found afterwards that there is a known recall on component (part 573 safety recall report [xxx]) for a defect that causes rusting of this component. i was not made aware of the this recall. the recall appears however to be limited to certain states due to their road de-icing/salting policies. our state of south dakota was not among them. this prevented owners (and i assume dealers) in our state (south dakota) from getting any advanced warning of the possible safety hazard. also, no instrumentation on the vehicle or changes in driving performance can warn you of this impending failure. in my view this defect should have been made know to all owners of 2013 honda accord and certainly in states such as south dakota, as even the mud that accumulates on the vehicles drivetrain from the miles driven on unpaved roads can be even more detrimental to improperly protected metal parts, such as this drive shaft. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The abs module has failed. the repair is almost 3,000 from honda. the car is not safe once it reachers 80mph the vehicle loses control.

Several dashboard lights came on. electric steering ,tire pressure sensor, traction control, abs, brake lights. paid 300 dollar diagnostic fee for honda dealer to tell me this is a known issue on hondas and would cost 3,000 dollars to repair. final verdict, abs module needs replacement. also seems to be causing issues with the transmission shift points due to the vehicle speed sensor having an error with code p-0717 input shaft speed error. upon doing research, the mother board connections from connector to the motherboard are very thin and lose connection over time causing safety issues since it's unknown if the abs is working correctly with the fault lights on, also the tire pressure is not currently monitored correctly due to the light is always on among other monitored systems that have lights illuminated on the dashboard.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the traction control, vehicle stability assist, the low tire pressure, and steering wheel symbols were illuminated. the contact was able to drive the vehicle but was worried that the warnings had indicated a larger mechanical failure with the vehicle. the contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the abs module and motherboard needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Lost power steering while driving.

I lost control of vehicle while driving because the electrical steering motor stopped working. i’ve had the electric starter already replaced twice with honda parts and it’s still not working. there’s something wrong with the steering. i already placed a complaint and i have not heard back from honda or nhtsa. i sent letters to nys senators schumer and hillabrand and i have not yet heard back from them yet either. i sent letters emails to congress and the senate transportation committees. i’ve found testimonials for the same issues online even with videos. i just read a complaint that was nearly identical the experience i had except it happened in 2020. the power steering stops and starts same for the cars starter and windows. i took the car to honda dealer to repair it on march [xxx], 2024. i now have a car repair bill for $8500 at curry honda in yorktown heights. they said i needed to replace entire exhaust system $3000 because they couldn’t get to the steering column without taking down the fragile exhaust system. basically, i had no choice. in order to start the repairs they wanted a $4,500 down payment which i paid. they’ve now had the car for 37 days. they described the steering column and motor system as being completely corroded to the point where the steering column was going to snap/break. what they said at the honda dealer was the honda steering motor and wiring was completely corroded which is not common. a few weeks later they told me that the knuckle/ball bearings were rusted out and that all the shock absorbers needed replaced as they were also rusted out even the screws according to them. they said these should all be replaced or i would fail inspection. the bill went from $3000 to $4700 to $6200 to $7900 to now $8500 includes tax. they’re still working on the vehicle and they’ve had it since march [xxx], it’s now may [xxx], 2024. i’ve asked them for the parts that they’re removing and they said they’ll save the parts. do you want them? recall? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The contact owned a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 30-35 mph, the steering wheel seized. the driver was unable to turn the wheel. the vehicle veered off the road and crashed into a tree. there were no warning lights illuminated. the driver had bruises and a concussion, and medical attention was provided. there was no air bag deployment. a police report was filed. there was no reported fire. the vehicle was towed to a towing lot. the local dealer was contacted but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 195,000. the vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. the vin was not available.

2013 honda accord accelerated to a very high speed when driving from the church parking lot, braking did not stop it. barely avoided hitting a car. on sunday [xxx] at around 13:45pm, as i was leaving the church parking lot, driving at around 5 miles an hour, the car suddenly accelerated to a very high speed, i tried braking but that did not stop it. the car entered and crossed the street, barely missed hitting a car, then entered the parking lot of a dollar store, finally stopping on the far side of the parking lot. no one was injured and no damage occurred. triple a was called immediately. had car towed to dealership (neil huffman honda, 1607 greentree boulevard, clarksville, indiana 47129. car was at the dealership for two days, the car was driven, and an extensive examination was done, but they could not duplicate the concern and did not find any problems with the vehicle. when this episode occurred, there was no prior warning and the action of the vehicle was extremely fast. this was absolutely scary. please let it be known to the honda manufacturer that the car is defective, this defect needs to be fixed as soon as possible, before someone or multiple people are seriously injured or killed, or extensive property damage is done. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

When driving, the steering wheel wants to turn to the left on its own and is hard to turn to the right. the car will literately make a u-turn if you your hands off the wheel at slow speeds.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that after taking the vehicle for regular maintenance, the dealer stated that during the tire alignment, the steering indicator light illuminated. the dealer diagnosed that the steering gear box failed due to the torque sensors needing to be replaced. the contact had the vehicle towed to another dealer who confirmed the diagnosis and referenced tsb: 15-056. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

Driving home from manhattan i hit bump and the steering light came on and i could not steer my car. realizing what happened (i first thought the car stalled) i was able to put the car in neutral , shut it off, and restart it hoping the problem would go away which thankfully it did. needless to say i was very lucky not to be hit by another car as this was a very dangerous situation. i have read about others having this problem and wonder why honda has not addressed this very dangerous problem yet. i am afraid to drive my car in fear of this happening again and maybe not being so lucky next time.

The abs module on these accords go bad prematurely, causing many lights on the dash board to come on. it happened to my step father in his 2014 accord unfortunately causing him to total his car due to the breaks locking up in the rain and now my car has the same problem. there are even forums about this issue and honda definitely needs to issue a recall and fix this issue

This morning i started my car and everything was normal. i started backing out of my driveway and my steering wheel would not turn in any direction. the steering light is on in the dashboard and the steering wheel is locked. i went back into my driveway to turn the vehicle off and back on, but nothing changed. i’m lucky this didn’t happen while driving on the road.

The abs on the honda accords from 2013-2017 all have failures right now. my car and my friends car has the same issue. took it to the dealership and the guy working there even said this should be a recall. alot of the honda accords have been having this same issue. all the warning lights on the dash light up and its because of the bad abs module going bad. i realy think honda should take responsibility on this. it is costing me $3,318 to fix it.

Re: complaint #11590390, after loosing my steering i had to take my car to the dealer i found no recalls on this website but much to my surprise there is. honda replaced the steering gearbox. total parts and labor came to $3056.69. the recall campaign number for the esp gearbox replacement is 15-056-5z200, good info for the future for you and anyone else having this issue. not bad for a eleven year old car, not to mention how happy i was not having to pay for the repair. thank you honda.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 35 mph, the driver's side curtain air bags and the front driver's seat air bags deployed without impact. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact was able to continue driving. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the cause of the failure could not be determined. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened; however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

Steering gets very stiff sometimes and you have to yank it to control the vehicle's direction. this has been happening over the past year and is now happening more frequently. the warning light comes on sometimes. the problem has not yet been reported to the dealer but from reports on the web this seems to be a common problem in 2013 and 2014 models.

My vehicle dash has been displaying the tpms light (blinking then solid), power steering, traction control light for the past year to two. i have checked my tire pressure they are to specifications the sensors are fine, my traction control does not respond to the button in the car to enable or disable the traction control. i thankfully have not yet lost power steering but the light is on. i had researched the problem and have found several and i mean several honda accord owners all with the same problem. only yesterday did my abs light on my dash turned on and has consistently stayed on (on occasion would turn off like the others but then reappear). based on internet searches and forums all things point to a faulty abs module, a module countless honda accord owners have indicated honda is aware of such fault and expect honda owners to pay an exorbitant amount of money to repair it when its a model wide issue. the danger this poses is the uncertainty of the reliability of these features that are meant to keep motorists safe. to make matters worse i am concerned about the safety of my family with a toddler and infant when riding my vehicle. this is not something that broke down due to negligence on the vehicle owners part. this is a manufacturer issue that affects every single honda accord from 2013 through 2022. to make matters worse when people tried to get the abs module fixed its unavailable. honda needs to repair all these modules and a recall needs to be issued. this is unacceptable. i will be very hesitant to buy another honda again.

The abs/vsa module failure: tire pressure, traction control, steering, lane departure warning (ldw), and forward collision warning (fcw) dash lights come on; the vehicle is available for inspection upon request, pending recall or private repair. the safety of the driver, passengers, and outside parties is at risk in case of brake failure or brake locking in a situation where the ldw or fcw has failed to alert the driver of a pending collision. the dealer conducted a diagnostic service on the morning of 07/01/2024 indicating abs module and brake flush, codes 81.19 and 81.20, with a repair cost of $2,385.49 for the abs module part and labor of 4.95 ($3335.49) and brake flush labor of .8 ($179.95) for a total cost of $3,575.44. the vehicle or parts have not been inspected by police, insurance representatives, or others, although galpin honda performed the above diagnostic. the vehicle dashboard lights mentioned above come on shortly after driving the vehicle at times, with the lights alternating between on and off at any given start-up—they can light up or be off at start-up/drive-off.

The vsa modulator on the 2013 ex-l manual transmission has failed. it illuminated 7 lights. steering light, abs, fcw, brake, abs, ldw, traction control. the abs modulator internally shuts off all systems within this car. the car is not able to pass inspection because of safety issues. after looking for a used part, i realized there were many complaints on this particular make and model. i am scared to drive the car with these issues, and with 1000s of cars having the same issue with the same part, i would think honda would correct the issue without spending $1,000’s. there were no symptoms prior. it seems that the internal soldering on the vsa modulator has been coming apart, shutting down the system.

The contact's mother owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. the power steering warning light was illuminated. the driver was able to pull over to the side of the road. the driver turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. the contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the power steering control module (pscm) had failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not covered under an unknown recall campaign. the failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

I’ve been to many auto shops including the honda dealer and they all say my vehicle needs to have the fuel pump replaced. i’ve replaced it more than 5 times. my car stalls and will not accelerate the way it should and is a safety hazard. i am unable to drive the vehicle but it’s the only car i have. i’ve heard similar stories from family members that have the same vehicle. fortunately they were able to purchase a newer vehicle. not my case though. there were no warning lights prior to this. my car wouldn’t turn on one day so we changed the battery then it wouldn’t drive and then it started to stall and if driven it won’t accelerate the way it should. my car has been like this since 2022. i’ve called the dealership and they won’t look into it. there is an open recall for the coupe version of my car but they say my car isn’t on the list.

The steering wheel of honda accord ex 2013 suddenly malfunctioned. it becomes heavy and stiff. it can not come back to the center automatically after left turn. we brought the car to our local honda dealer. they diagnosed the car and told us the car "needs eps gear box only ". they said "not related to the warranty extension $3905 plus tax and shop supplies". there is not warning when the engine of the car is turned on. my car had less than 68k miles when this happened on 07/13/2024.

When starting the engine and while driving at speeds of 60+mph, malfunction lamp, fcw, vsa, ldw, low tire pressure (tpms), econ mode, and eps warning lights come on and vehicles slows to 10 mph. vehicle will remain in this condition until restarted which may or may not resolve the issue. car will drive but not at speed desired and vehicles appears/sounds as if it is trying to change gears but cannot. the car continues to try to slow down to lower speeds.

Power steering cuts in and out. steering becomes stiff and power to turn is not one smooth motion

The abs module is malfunctioning which is a common issue with this car and should have been recalled many years ago.

Apparentlhy, many vsa modulator contol unit on the abs on the honda accords from 2013-2017 have failures right now. my car has the same issue. took it to the dealership and the guy working there even said this should be a recall. a lot of the honda accords have been having this same issue. all the warning lights on the dash light up and its because of the bad abs module going bad. i really think honda should take responsibility on this. it is costing me approximately $3000 to fix at the dealership since they have to make connections and bleed all brakes during swap. a number of youtube videos point to the hair thin connector to card connections as the failure point.

Honda accord 2013 all lights on abs, traction control, steering wheel and tpms lights

All the lights on my dash came on associated with the abs module fail.. it also affected my alternator as i believe the car is working to hard. the barks are weird the car drives sluggish. my lights cone on and off.. when they are off the car drives just fine. many accords have this issue and no parts can be found. something is not right

The car has just over 91,000 miles on it and the push button start is working only intermittently. i know i’m not the only one because the online forums are full of started problems with these. it’s my only car and honda has known for years it is a problem with these.

I was driving into a parking spot and the car started flickering, the screen turned off and the steering locked and would not allow me to move the car at all even though it was in drive.

On [xxx], my cv axle broke. i was stopped at a stoplight and when the light turned green, i stepped on the accelerator, then heard a very loud “clunk” and my car didn’t move. i shifted into all of the other gears, but it didn’t move. i shifted it into park and called aaa. they dispatched a tow truck driver, who arrived about 45 minutes later. he engaged the emergency brake, after checking under the car and informing me that the driver’s side cv axle had broken, which prevents the car from actually being able to shift into park. he towed the car to an independent mechanic. both the tow truck driver and the mechanic said it’s quite uncommon for a cv axle to break. i was about 1/2 mile from getting on the freeway and luckily i didn’t make it that far, because it could have been much worse during rush hour traffic. as it was, i was blocking a lane of traffic at the stoplight. i have both pieces of the driver’s side cv axle in my possession. no one other than the tow truck driver and mechanic have inspected it, yet. i had no warning at all that the axle was about to break. while doing some online research to find out the likelihood of the passenger side cv axle breaking, i came across a recall notice for the drive shaft of certain 2013-2015 accords in salt belt states. my vin search showed that my car wasn’t part of this recall and a call to a honda dealer confirmed this. i’m puzzled, since we live in wisconsin. might the recall need to be expanded? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Steering wheel will pull left and want to keep going left. have to really pull steering wheel right to keep car straight. this is a known problem on 2013 honda accords. this almost caused an accident on the road. i am bringing it to honda but it's a known problem and should be recalled. i know the 2012 models had the issue and they were recalled.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front tire and the steering wheel were vibrating abnormally. additionally, there was a burning odor coming from the front tire. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a failed vehicle stability assist (vsa) module. the contact was informed that the vsa module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the vsa module had failed. the contact was informed that the vsa module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under recall. the contact was advised to contact the nhtsa hotline to report the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 163,993.

Power steering failed without warning which is extremely dangerous and could possibly cause a fatality.

Code 123_11 for bad abs module. lights that turn on within the dashboard are: front crash warning (fcw), lane departure warning (ldw), tpms, traction control, and electronic power steering. this issue is common within this generation of accord and honda needs to issue a recall.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 35 mph, the vehicle started sputtering and lost motive power. the contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. the contact pulled over, and there was a delay in restarting the vehicle. the contact stated that the failure was related to nhtsa campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline). the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the failure was due to the fuel pump. the local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that there was no recall on the vin. the failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

Component vsa anti lock abs pump modulator 57110-t2f-a1 malfunction. circuit board wiring inside of modulator has loose/dismantled wires causing complete failure of abs system for vehicle. this is a widely know problem amongst 9th generation honda accords and honda has yet to issue a recall here in the united states.

Car started to show fwc lights, ldw lights, steering warning, traction control. inspected by two mechanics and say the codes come back to abs module defect.

The abs module failure has caused all my dash boards lights to remain on making the lan assist and calibration impossible to complete. this needs to be investigated for all honda accords from 2012 - 2018. i have had several mechanics say this should be recalled due to its occurrence. the other issue is the timing belt slips without any wrecks due to being poorly built.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving approximately 50 mph and slowing to exit the highway, the steering wheel was turned to the right and seized. the contact pulled over and stopped the vehicle. the vehicle was turned off and restarted several times however, the power steering feature was inoperable. the vehicle was towed to a dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the eps torque sensor had failed and needed to be replaced. the contact researched online and related the failure to technical service bulletin: 15-056 eps torque sensor (steering). the contact had spoken to the dealer and to the manufacturer but was informed that the vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 115,008.

The abs system went out. all the lights in the dashboard is on. the module was on back order for months and it’s cost $2500. why should i have to pay for a faulty electrical system that my actions had no bearing on?

I was stopped at a stop light. the light turned green and i started to go. my car had a major issue and was stuck in traffic. i had to push the vehicle out of traffic with the assistance of the police department. my vehicle was not operable. after an investigation into the issue, the driver front axle broke in in half. no lights or prior indicators existed before the incident. repairs have been made and this issue has caused damage to the other axle. both have been replaced by authorized repair shops. i continue to have a “wobbling” issue while accelerating. i did go to a honda dealership for the balance issue. they did say it is common for the axle to break and there was a recall for my make/ model and year that i did not qualify for. paperwork is attached. i have children and if my children were in my vehicle with me and i was on the highway this incident could have led to serious physical injury or death. there is a current recall which my vehicle doesn’t apply for. i believe my vehicle should apply. a news article from honda shown to me by a honda dealership rep is attached as well as invoices.

Abs module failure. lights up emergency brake, tire pressure warning, electrical power steering, and vehicle stability assist indicator. did some research and the failure is caused by faulty soldering inside the abs module.

When overtaking a car on a one lane highway, the engine suddenly started to sputter and the steering felt unstable, and a few seconds later, four engine lights turned on (malfunction indicator lamp, vehicle stability assist system indicator, electric power steering system indicator, low tire pressure/tpms indicator). i was able to drive the car to an auto shop, where their mechanics did a diagnosis and found codes p0087, 83-11, 61-11, 85-01. while cycling through the codes all lights turned off, so they advised that i could continue to drive the car as is. a few weeks later, the same problem happened when i was driving on the highway. this time, i could not push the car past 2500 rpm, rendering the car unable to exceed 55mph on the highway. i was able to drive the car to a honda dealership. they diagnosed p0087 and p0088 codes, and followed the tsb recommendation to replace the high pressure fuel pump. after paying the hefty replacement fee and getting the new part, the car works as expected. q1: high pressure fuel pump failed, honda dealership did repair so they would have the old part if not already disposed. q2: in first instance, car became unstable at high speeds. in second instance, had to drive two hours back to dealership near me on a highway going 20mph under speed limit. also had to pull over on a narrow shoulder. q3: technicians reproduced problem when holding vehicle at 3000rpm. found code p0087 and s/b 14-039 for that code, which recommended replacing the high pressure fuel pump. q4: component inspected by honda dealership. q5: specific warning lamps and codes listed above.

Power steering issues: stiff steering wheel that locks then becomes loose and causes loss of steering control. deviation from the intended path of travel without warning or driver input. constant veering to one side without driver input.

1. faulty vehicle stability assistance (vsa) and antilock braking system (abs) module. common issue and reported by thousands of accord owners, other models of same honda generation have been recalled for same exact issue. vehicle is available for inspection on request. 2. faulty vsa module poses increased risk of “loss-of-traction” events that could result to injury or death on roads. faulty abs module poses a severe detriment to the braking system of a the vehicle, in some cases rendering the brake pedal unresponsive or locking the brakes, in turn increasing the risk of losing control of the vehicle that could result in injury or death. 3. yes, multiple mechanics have diagnosed the vehicle and came to the same conclusion that it is a faulty vsa/abs module. 4. no, manufacturer, police or insurance reps have not investigated. 5. yes this issue is known to trigger every warning light on the dashboard to turn on at once. that is what happened on my vehicle.

When my 2013 accord was around 80,000 miles my dashboard lit up with "forward collison warning system failure." the following lights are also on, ldw, power steering, tpms, traction control. i took my car to a mechanic and was told i needed a new vsa/ abs brake control module. i was told this is a common problem for hondas and is dangerous as it disables traction control and could affect braking as well. the mechanic and a honda dealer quoted me $3,200 for this repair.

Vsa failure associate with fcw, ldw, vsa, tmps and eps warning light. the cause is vsa modular

There is something wrong with the electric power steering. every time i drive my steering wheel pulls to the left so if i let go of the steering wheel the steering wheel will pull to the left and could potentially cause a car crash and while driving and difficulty steering (either steering feeling too firm or too loose). this is happening without the electric power steering warning light being illuminated. i do not feel safe.

When we drive the car, there is a problem with the power steering that causes the steering wheel to over-steer, which makes the car jerk to one side or the other without warning, which makes the car veer into other lanes. we took the car to the auto shop, the mechanic told us that when the car is up on the lift and they start the car, the wheels turn by themselves, which shouldn't happen.

I was involved in a accident in which my car had stalled on me in the middle of a intersection and i was hit by on coming traffic and i also got hit by a truck on my left hand side which had been just repaired by someone who was certified and pay through insurance company when i got my vehicle back the ads light was on my dash as well i was hurt and the airbags split open my lips and my head

The fuel pump on my 2013 honda accord went out. ive taken the vehicle to the honda dealer multiple times to get it diagnosed and they keep telling me its the high pressure fuel pump and once replaced my car will run smoothly.not the case ive replaced it more than 6 times, my car still stalls and turns off at random so im unable to drive the vehicle. it starts and drives but you have to look at the rpms while driving, if i go over 2000 rpms itll stall. when the issue first started i was at a redlight when the vehicle stalled, thankfully no one was around me since it was late but had there been traffic my car would have been hit. i have 2 children and i cant and will not put them in that car knowing it has a problem no one is willing to take a deep dive into. due to this issue multiple lights on the dash are on and wont go off until the problem is fixed.

Steering is sticky and difficult to turn sometimes. sometimes the steering loosens up very quickly resulting in a very fast turn, making it very dangerous. on a regular turn, the steering wheel almost jitters, providing uneven no codes or warnings have shown up. honda wants $4000 to replace the entire eps rack but have not stated a definitive issue with it. this all started out of nowhere, i was driving in a neighborhood and the steering went haywire.

In 2022 while driving, my steering wheel became very difficult to turn. it felt as if the power steering quit altogether. all of the safety lights came on at once (brake, anti-skid, steering, etc.). after stopping, it was very difficult to turn the wheel. not only was it frightening but i would not have been able to swerve or turn suddenly if needed. the honda dealership believed at first it was a sensor, which was replaced. the problem quickly returned. this time the dealership replaced the entire steering rack. two years later, the problem appears to be returning. all safety/warning lights have come on and there are moments when steering "stiffens up" but so far it has not completely gone out.

Hello i'm wondering why this is not a concern for a safety recall. vsa module. the vsa module systems seems to be a problem from 2012 all the way to 2017 model hondas. this module effects powersteering. abs. tire pressure and traction control. it seems that this is a global problem and their are countrys that have done a recall on this vsa module. on honda accord sedans.

Excessive engine oil consumption 2-3 quarts between 5000 to 6000 oil changes. abs module failure causing all safety feature not working.

All the safety error lights come up on dash (abs, steering control, tire pressure, stability control) all aluminate. initially they would only come on when vehicle sat while running for more than a few min and once parked overnight they would not come back on. now they are on 100% of the time and never go off. there a a ton of videos out there with a faulty ans module. honda is selling them for like $1400 part + labor. an entire industry has started to repair them and video showing the fault in wiring showing bad soldering joints where very thin wire is attached. my car has 95,500 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to start while depressing the push-to-start button, with an abnormal grinding sound coming from under the hood. no warning light was illuminated. the contact who is an independent mechanic, diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the starter needed to be replaced. the contact related the failure to technical service bulleting: 16-002; however, the vehicle was not included. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 159,000.

2013 honda accord ex-l v6 2 separate malfunctions loss of all power steering faulty vsa module effecting dashboard indicators broken vsa (vehicle stability assistance) module causes the abs, fcw, ldw vsa, steering, and tire gauge warnings to light up solid. causing the driver to be unaware if anything is wrong with the vehicle. also leaving the car without working safety features promised by honda such as the (fcw) forward collision warning and (ldw) lane departure warning due to the faulty vsa module i did not receive a warning at my loss of power steering. i was able to maneuver myself off the main road and take it to a local mechanic who after scanning and checking was confused and suggested that it would most likely need an entire steering rack replacement. still haven't gone to an official honda dealership. i did not receive any warning from the vehicle when my power steering went out. due to the faulty vsa module affecting the lights on my dashboard that included the one that would indicate faulty power steering. this is the first year of the model to incorporate esa. nhsta has had a open investigation into the faulty power steering but was eventually closed due to lack of reports. many people have been reporting similar issues with this model and it has caused accidents and allegedly some deaths. at this current time there is no safety recall by honda to fix either the broken vsa module or more importantly the power steering. vsa modules have been recalled and replaced by honda in different countries but not in the united states. the faulty vsa module puts drivers at risk by leaving the driver unaware of any potential issues with their vehicle until the problem already happens and leaves mechanics confused as to what the issue actually is. i implore nhtsa to take action against this very dangerous issue with both the loss of power steering and the vsa module with this year and model of honda.

I believe my vehicle should be included in a recall (safety recall: 2013-15 accord driveshaft inspection) that it is not currently included in. this is a major safety concern that the recall may not include all affected vehicles including mine. what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? right driveshaft snapped while i was driving rendering the vehicle without propulsion, as well as allowing the vehicle to roll while in park how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? this occurred while i was driving and i lost the ability to move the vehicle. has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes the honda dealership confirmed the driveshaft snapped. has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? i have a picture of the snapped driveshaft and the honda dealership inspected it and provided me with a description of the issue. were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? there were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

We were driving on the highway when the vehicle began stalling and failed to accelerate. we pulled onto the shoulder and all of the lights on the dash were on "check engine, electric power steering light, and low fuel light: the vehicle had half a tank of gas, so it was not a low fuel issue. after a few attempts the car finally started again and began to pick up power. my neighbor who is a certified acura mechanic, used his diagnostic tool and the error code p0087 popped up indicating a drop in fuel rail/system pressure. this is the first time this has happened to this vehicle. we have serviced it regularly at our local honda dealer since we purchased the vehicle. we see that there is an active recall for the exact issue we experienced nhtsa recall number:23v-858, however, our vin number was not included in that for some reason. we feel strongly that the issue is indicative and matches that recall campaign and are requesting this recall be investigated and expanded.

While driving my 2013 honda accord sedan on the turnpike, i experienced a critical failure of the vehicle stability assist (vsa) modulator, which was later inspected and confirmed to be malfunctioning by a honda service technician at south motors honda. this component is available for inspection upon request. as i was traveling at approximately 65 mph, the abs (anti-lock braking system) malfunctioned, causing the brakes to lock up when i attempted to slow down for traffic ahead. this sudden loss of braking control put my safety and the safety of others at significant risk, as i nearly collided with the vehicle in front of me. the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by an independent service center. the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. prior to the failure, several warning lamps, including the vsa, abs, and brake lights, illuminated on the dashboard. these warning lights first appeared about a week before the incident, but i was unable to get the vehicle serviced immediately due to scheduling constraints. additionally, the front collision warning system was not functioning, which further compromised my ability to avoid a potential accident. this malfunction was particularly concerning as it failed to alert me to the rapidly approaching vehicle ahead, exacerbating the dangerous situation caused by the abs failure.

On december 10, 2024, while driving at approximately 45 mph on state street, my vehicle suddenly lost all power and stalled. the dashboard lights went out, and there were no prior warning indicators. thankfully, i was able to coast safely off the road and restart the vehicle after it stalled. before this incident, i had experienced multiple occasions when my car took unusually long to start. when pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle struggled to accelerate, feeling like it had no power. on december 26, 2024, i received an email stating that certain 2013–2023 honda accords might be subject to a recall due to a faulty fuel pump. however, after checking my specific vin, i found no active recalls listed for my vehicle. given the issues i have been experiencing over the past year—including stalling and power loss—i believe my vehicle may be affected by the same faulty fuel pump issue. i am filing this complaint to document that the identified fuel pump issue may affect more vehicles from these model years.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while at a stop sign, the vehicle unintentionally accelerated while the brake pedal was depressed; the contact had to shut the vehicle off for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to get a diagnosis however, the failure cause was unidentifiable. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the nhtsa hotline to report the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 75,000. 

Steering has failed. yes available for inspection. safety of driver and occupants as well as other drivers due to vehicle making an unwanted sharp left turn. yes the honda dealer has confirmed. yes by the honda dealership. no warnings, just a sudden left turn by the steering wheel.

The car has keyless entry and push button to start. recently i noticed the car was not able to start correctly when pushing the push button. sometimes it can start but it needs the keyfob to be very close to the push button. 3 days ago the car wont start at all no matter how i tried it. testes battery and starter all are at working condition. i suspected the keyless push start button is faulty.

I am reporting a critical safety issue with the vehicle stability assist (vsa) modulator in my 2013 honda accord ex. the vsa modulator has failed, causing significant safety concerns, including erratic braking behavior, a complete loss of anti-lock braking (abs) functionality, and compromised stability control. only after avoiding near collision while driving on i5 freeway the failure illuminated various dashboard warning lights, such as the abs light, vsa light, and brake system warning light. this failure has placed me, my passengers, and other road users at risk, especially with the stop and go traffic of rush hour. luckily it was sunny clear weather because if there was even slight wet or slippery conditions i'm certain the harm would have been disastrous. -known technical causes: failure of internal solenoids or valves in the vsa modulator unit. corrosion or damage to electronic components within the modulator. malfunctioning sensors associated with the abs and stability systems. -repair details: replacement of the vsa modulator unit is often necessary. cost of repair typically ranges between $2,000 and $3,000. many owners report delays in repairs due to part availability. -reports and complaints: numerous complaints can be found on forums, owner groups, and repair sites detailing identical failures in 2013–2017 honda accords. commonly reported safety risks include increased stopping distances and difficulty maintaining control on slippery roads. honda’s response: some owners report that honda dealerships acknowledge the issue but do not offer repairs under warranty unless an extended warranty is in place. there is an already a recall for the vsa modulators for 2022 accords. i believe this should be extended to their earlier models with the same issues.

Traction control/abs/brake lights turn on 122-11 vsa solenoid valve malfunction and 83-11 which causes pcm malfunction. this is a known problem with honda vehicles and should be a recall. when this error occurs traction/abs/brake, ldw fcw are disabled. the fix for this is over $1000.00.

My 2013 honda accord touring with 110,000 miles all of a sudden all the lights on the dash came on. i took it to the dealer. the dealer told me that the electronic control module or the vehicle stability control module was bad. at that time, the dealer could not get the part and at that time, the part was $1400so a year later. when i had the money i went to get the car fixed at that point the part was $2600. it cost me $3500 to get the vehicle repaired. it was not under warranty. there was no recall and i was left holding the bag i have found there are many cases of the same part going bad and honda refuses to accept responsibility, leaving us owners out in the cold.

My abs & all related braking lights on dash display pop up every now & then, on & off, & is not on permanently full time. mechanic said it could be the module. i heard it last week on the radio about this honda issue & said it was a safety & braking issue. i don’t see it on the recall list, but people with a 2013 accord has many complaints about it on youtube web & various searches. this should be a recall & what are we supposed to do about this safety defect?

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact stated the abs warning light and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the contact was requested to pay a diagnostic test fee. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. the failure mileage was approximately 79,347.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving 60 mph, the vehicle was pulling to the left. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact stated that another vehicle was approaching close by on the right and the contact attempted to steer over to the left. the vehicle was extremely close to the highway grooves and the steering wheel seized to the left. the contact who is an independent mechanic, diagnosed the vehicle with power steering failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the dealer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

The contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to start. the contacted stated that the battery was replaced several times; however, the failure recurred approximately 3-4 months later. the vehicle was jumpstarted and was towed to a toyota dealer, where the battery, the alternator and alternator belt were replaced; however, the failure recurred the following morning. additionally, the contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated. the contact became aware that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system); which the contact related to the failure; however, the contact had not received a recall notification from the manufacturer. the honda dealer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. the failure mileage was approximately 70,722.

Failure to start problems began about 3 years ago. initially we had to push the start button several times to get the car started. it got progressively worse. we paid $810. to replace the starter with a remanufactured starter part. the dealership said they used the remanufactured part because it had a 3 year warranty while a new starter would have only a 1 year warranty. it worked for 3 or 4 months and then started to act up again. the dealership replaced the starter again with another remanufactured starter part in november of "24. now it is march of "25 and my wife is marking the calendar again on the days the starter malfunctions which has been several days in the past month. we have been left stranded and i fear this could result in a serious safety problem if it happended in heavy traffic or some other vulnerable situation. there are many honda starter complaints on the internet! why hasn't there been a recall?

(from the service department's invoice on 08/09/16) 2 sensor one wires chewed on by rodent shorting pcm. triggered shut off. replaced sensor. my complaint is that the wires were not vinyl but were soy and that's the cause of the problem. the car had to be towed to the dealer for repair. since the car was out of warranty, i was charged $422 to replace the sensor. i want a refund. i understand that there is a class action law suit against honda over the issue of the soy coated wires. ( my husband, roy baker, is most familiar with this issue.)

I was parked in an alley behind a coffee shop. i turned the car on and put my seat belt on and put it in gear. it suddenly lurched forward and struck a parked car one car's width from me, ricocheted and hit another parked car (which then hit the car next to it). i could not stop the car, though i tried; then i pivoted again and hit and took down the cinder block wall of a garage. i turned the car off either right before hitting the garage wall or right after. no airbags were ever released. in retrospect, after the shock at all the damage, i believe something was defective about my new honda accord.

My 2013 accord sport suddenly veered left on it's own and i hit a telephone pole breaking it in half. the air bags did not deploy. the car is a total loss and i am injured. i was driving in a straight line when this happened.

The first time, while driving on the highway, my car steered to the right as i was driving west. it was like i was loosing control. it terrified me. it seemed like i was about to go over the bridge. it scared me so bad that i began having anxiety issues when driving over a bridge. it has happened several other times as well. i can no longer drive on the highway because i am terrified. i now only drive streets at 35 to 40 mph. please listen to what i am saying. i felt like that it was something wrong with the car but didnt know what to do. i thought maybe it was just my imagination so i sought psychiatric advice. the doctor diagnosed me has being afraid of height, but i knew better. i have been driving these highways for years and never had any fears. please, please, please, please recall these cars. please don't let there have to be an accident before something is done to resolve the issue. we bought these cars in good faith of being one of the finest. because i felt like it was the car, i have already decided to get rid of mines as soon as i can.

I was making a right hand turn into a parking lot and steering wheel began spinning hard to the left. i was unable to control the steering. i took the car to my honda dealer and they told me there was complete failure of the steering column which had to be replaced.

Yesterday morning, (5-10-21), i was leaving for work in my accord. there was suddenly no steering and i was unable to make the right turn out of my driveway. had this happened on a winding road i'd be a 3500 lb. base jumper with no parachute. taking it to a dealer, terrified to drive the car after repairs.

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that her daughter informed her that while driving 20 mph, she loss control of the vehicle and blacked out. after regaining consciousness, her daughter noticed that she had struck two vehicles that were parked. the contact stated that her daughter picked her up and upon taking her back to the vehicle, she noticed that the front axle had detached from the vehicle. a police report was filed. no injuries were sustained. the vehicle was towed to a tow lot and deemed a total loss by the insurance company. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed by a dealer or an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 120,000.

My car steers to the right with no warning while driven. if i let go of wheel, it suddenly drift right. it happens on local road or highway. i had alignment done, tire rotation, that did not solve the issue. the drift comes and goes. the auto dealer says power steering is not covered under power train warranty. the tech at the dealer believe it's a sensor issue and not safe to drive as is. even after shut off the car, the wheel turns itself to the right.

On three occasions over the past two years the 2013 honda accord 2.4l sedan would not start. the first time aaa changed the battery. the next time aaa determined that the battery was fine but the car reacted with a fast clicking sound. pressing the brake pedal would not work and the gear shift would not move out of park. the third time we left the car for about 15 minutes and then it started. each time the car was left in the on position, in one case charging a cellphone, in another case listening to the radio. in the past i have noticed the smart entry system light come on and off but was told in one case (by a honda service rep!) that they could not detect a problem and noi code was registered. they said i would have to bring it in when the light was on but it is intermittent. i was wondering if there could be interference from my other car's remote key or my cell phone so i have been moving those to the back of the accord. i have attached screen shots from the warning light and two websites/blogs with many people who have problems that may be relevant. here are the links to those sites: http://www.continentalhonda.com/blog/honda-dashboard-warning-lights-explained/ https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/smart-entry-system-light-is-on.125729/page-3 https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t43926_ds666390 thank you

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle veered to the left inadvertently. the contact initially thought that the issue was because of the wind. the steering wheel then ceased. the vehicle was towed to hosmer honda (3825 4th st sw, mason city, ia 50401) and diagnosed with power steering failure. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unavailable. the vin was unavailable.

While driving my 2013 honda accord, it will suddenly veer left or right without warning. steering goes from tight to loose at any given turn/time.

When driving the power steering would stop working completely and vehicle operator could barely steer the vehicle. when going around a corner the power steering cut out and the driver skidded off the road but was not injured. we had to get this fixed because it was a life threatening problem. it cost us 2,500 dollars to get fixed. honda had to replace the power steering unit steering rack. this is obviously a manufacturers defect that honda should have paid for but we had to pay out of our own pockets because it was too dangerous to drive the vehicle.

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.

All the lights in the front panel that indicate flat tired, hand brake, abs, air pressure, etc are on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while driving at slow speeds, the steering wheel went to the right and was difficult to turn. the brake pedal was depressed however, was slow to respond. the vehicle was taken to honda of bridgewater (1201 us-22, bridgewater township, nj 08807 (908) 722-5566) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the steering needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 64,000. invalid vin.

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.

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.

Water pump seized. drive belt shredded.

Excess vibration and oil consumption due to vcm operation. vcm also makes the transmission search for gears while driving at a steady speed

My car abs system proplem.

Engine continues to burn oil internally. honda dealer tells me that is impossible but acura had a recall for the same issue. oil fan humming, engine overheating. parked before engine locked up.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that after the vehicle was parked, the vehicle could not be restarted. the battery and the electronic starter were replaced several times however, the failure persisted. an unknown dealer was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Honda accord sport 2013 i4 cvt. cv axles are corroded due to failing paint finish. this corrosion gets inside the rubber resonator(donut looking piece), affecting the integrity of the axle. honda has recalled these axles in other states, but not in utah. i am the original owner of the car and have been denied by honda on replacing axles per the recall.

The windshield washer motor stopped working.

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.

Basically, my complaint is that i don’t feel that my starter should have to be replaced at 36,000 miles... i have only had the car for 9 months.. i also had to replace the front pads and rotors too.. basically totalling $640. in parts and 360. in labor.. i bought it directly from the dealership.. it has the push button start and it put out a “grinding sound” when i went to start it, then the front bakes started squeaking also..

Steering wheel turns to right when car is started...car steering on its own...very dangerous!

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

Lost power steering and almost lost control of car !!

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.

2013 honda accord v6exl starter makes grinding noise when being started. sometimes takes multiple trys to finally turn over and start engine. brought to dealership but they said they could not replicate the issue. only offered to replace entire starter system for $900.

2013 honda accord accord with 81k miles is burning oil about 1quart 1000 miles.

Steering rack/ pinion : cars steering wheel just randomly turning on its own to the left and become hard to steer when driving on highway at higher speed

According to uber, this vehicle [xxx] has been salvaged or has a rebuilt title. the dealer does not agree and carfax report denies being involved in any accident in the past. per uber " uber will be notified by nhtsa and reactivate the vehicle automatically." information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

This is to inform you i made an appointment for 2/20/2021 with my local honda dealership one week prior based on the recall letter received from your office. i was was physically there, i was told by one of the advisor that they ran out of parts. no future appointment were made by the dealership. not sure what is means but this was written under comments :da212407, from the "complimentary multi point inspection" form. personal arrangements were made to leave my car based on my convenience; the road conditions were very icy and treacherous to get there; my ride back home was waiting in the parking lot. after going through the process of checking in my car and leaving the dealership, then i received a phone call from one of the employees (yvonne) they could not accommodate me. in addition, i called your vehicle safety hotline yesterday 2//02/20/2021 to report this but your office was closed. i am very disappointed in the customer service i experienced. thank you for your anticipated cooperation with this matter.

I have not owned the car in question since may 2016 after this car was totaled in an accident and i keep getting calls from honda of pasadena (pasadena, ca). the process on the nhtsa website says that the manufacturer contacts car owners to notify them of safety recalls correct? are dealers allowed to use my personal phone number/data to solicit me for these repairs multiple times like this? i mean, the notification from the manufacturer appears to be enough; this will allow the customer to choose the dealership on their own. the practice of the dealership reaching out to me is more like an unethical practice to bait customers into getting repair money from the manufacturer. this is in fact baiting. please help and respond as soon as possible.

The power steering suddenly stop working almost causing me to crash my car.

When i push the start button it doesn't always start - get a grinding noise.

Wheel hub assembly all four replaced was defective the all has 72,000 mile and now the abs has went bad and the tps system is bad . the aluminum rims for breaking do to salt corrosion two of the four rims broke cost to replace each rim 435 if the rims aren't apart of safety and abs and tps isn't a quality components didn't know car is safe on the road

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v344000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Traveling on freeway and a power steering indicator light turned on (see image). the steering became extremely difficult and the car was slightly swaying (similar to driving in a high wind area, except there was no wind). once exiting the freeway and decreasing the speed the steering became increasingly difficult. the car experienced a complete power steering failure. once safely at a gas station the car was shut off and turned on again. at this point, the power steering returned to normal. car was driven to a honda dealership for inspection and servicing.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving 45 mph, that contact struck a deer. the air bags failed to deploy on the driver side. a police report was filed and there were no injuries. the vehicle was taken home and parked. the vehicle was destroyed. the failure mileage was approximately 127,000.

While parking, but stopped, the car sped out of control. foot brake and hand brake failed to stop the speeding car. it leaped over a curb and into a retention pond. the doors refused to unlock. driver and passenger escaped thru windows and onto the roof. previously, the unattended car had locked itself and windows and sunroof had opened on several occasions the two fobs were on cup hooks in the house. honda shows no interest.

My 2013 is at 38,000 miles and i smell fuel when the vehicle is being started. i show a recall for this issue but when i enter my vin# it says my vehicle isn't in the recall. something is going on and i think it needs looked into. if this is the same issue that caused the recall for some models, it's odd that it's also happening to mine but my vehicle isn't in the recall. *tr

While driving at about 30 miles an hr. attempting to change lanes just before a traffic light suddenly steering the car became difficult and i noticed a warning light on. i was able to pull over stop the car then restart it without a steering problem. mentioning it to my son, he recalled having the same trouble with my car 3 weeks ago. *tr

Vehicle was stationary and in park. vehicle intermittently will not start. when you put your foot on the brake pedal you hear a "click" and then push the "start" ignition button, the car does not crank, but the electrical instruments in the car cabin come on. replaced batter and still have the same problem. takes multiple attempts before vehicle will finally start. vehicle started doing this at about the 33 month of ownership (i purchased it brand new). vehicle had approximately 58,000 miles on it when it started having this problem. vehicle continues to intermittently not start. honda dealership can not find any faults or codes. dealership is unable to and un willing to troubleshoot until they can detect a code/fault or observe problem.

My vehicle, a 2013 honda accord ex-l v6, has been having issues where a power steering light would come on in my warning lights, and then i would lose the assistance of electronic power steering. my commute is a short one in the suburbs of chicago. however, if i were actually in downtown chicago, or on a highway, the eps failure could be fatal. the first time it happened, i was driving across irving park road, and i pulled over and restarted the car. when i checked the power steering fluid reservoir the next day, it was low and took half a bottle of power steering fluid to fill. the problem recently resurfaced tonight when i was driving home from class. even after restarting the vehicle several times, the power steering never came back.

Oct 11, 2016, i drove the kids to school and parked the vehicle on the street. after walked then class, i returned to the vehicle. the car did not start on the first try, second try, but it started on third try. since purchased, i replaced battery twice due to the above reasons. i had battery checked and it's still good. please investigate.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while parking the vehicle, the power steering suddenly failed and caused the steering wheel to become very difficult to turn. after the vehicle was restarted, the power steering later returned to normal. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 37,000.

While driving on busy atlanta interstate at 55 mph the car became hard to steer all of the sudden and the eps light came-on on the dash board. therefore, i had to muscle the car over into the shoulder and shut-off the car and restart it then the light went off and i was able to steer it properly. this has occurred twice so far.

My care is consuming too much oil. oil light warning does not come on.

7/4/2017 was out of town in south carolina and my eps light came on when leaving a function. i was unable to turn my steering wheel as normally. after turning the car off and trying to reset the car the light came on again with the wheel and steering have issues. was unable to drive back to north carolina and had to get my car towed. now my car is at the honda dealership which is the company i purchased from and they have to determine why light came on my 2013 honda accord which i show reviews and complaints about a known issue.

I was in the middle of the road and the steering locked, this has happened twice on 07/18/2017 and 04/20/2017. i thank god for my life

Vehicle has had to be towed twice in the past four months due to failure to start, only clicking sound. before completely unable to start, i would have to try 3 or more times for it to start. first time i changed the battery an vehicle was ok for a while but then started failing to start intermittently and would only start after several attempts. i do not mind replacing the starter but it bothers me because the vehicle is only 3-4 year old and believe replacing the starter may not fix the problem in the long run as it would have to be replaced with the same starters that are failing. please help. thanks.

The engine started excessively consuming oil once it passed 60,000 miles on the odometer. it appears to be burning oil at a rate of 1/2 quart per 1,000 miles.

This is an update on what i experience with my 2013 honda accord 7/4/2017. on this day which was independence day my eps locked up while leaving south carolina headed back to north caroline. i had to have my car towed to the nearest honda dealership to exam the car to see why the system locked up. as i researched the issue i notice several issue with the eps system in this year model. i read that an extended warranty was given on the torque sensor 5 year. as honda diagnosed the vehicle they did the update and replaced the torque sensor, but the part that would allow the system to work was not covered under the extended warranty and that was the control unit. i located another article an it also had that honda was aware of this issue as well, but extended this warranty to only the fit and civic not the accords. i will be writing a letter to the corporate office regarding this issue as well. i'm not sure why they would only extend it to those two cars when accord are the number #1 seller. this was my second honda car and over all my family have purchased 4 honda cars. the cost for the control unit was almost $600.00 which i refused to pay and honda service brought the balance to $500.00 even as if they was doing me a favor. the service member and service was terrible and right now as a owner i'm not a satisfied client. if eps is a known issue why was the entire system extended under warranty. you know why it wasn't extended because they want the customer to pay for something at the end of the day. i know we all look for new improve ways to make technology better, but making an electric power steering was not a bright idea in my option. luckily i was not driving on a highway doing 70 miles an hour and the steering locked up it could have been fatal for me or someone else. today i think my option on purchasing a vehicle with honda will be last on the list.

Push button start does not work sometimes. getting progressively worse over time.

For the last month i have to put the vehicle key into the ignition 4-7 times to start the vehicle. today, i took my vehicle to pep boys auto parts in el paso, tx and they diagnosed the vehicle having problems with the starter. the mechanic told me that i need to change the starter because it is wearing out and is a rarity because it is not suppose to happen to a honda accord that is only 3 + years old. i have a 2011 chevrolet tahoe and all engine parts are operating normally. unbelieveable that my honda accord is breaking down on me. please look into this and let me know if there is a recall.

Battery terminal corrosion - the factory battery had severe corrosion problems after 2 yrs (unlike any of my other 3 cars). on the third year it died and was replaced with a aaa battery. after 6 months this battery is also showing corrosion. this seems to be a common issue after doing google searches. what's worse is the positive batter cable is not an easy nor economical replacement once the corrosion finds its way inside. i believe the corrosion is happening because of the 'smart charging system' honda is using on this vehicle. never seen this problem in my 30+ yrs of owning dozens of cars.

Airbag warning light came on took it todealer after 3 hrs of dignostics they could not find what was wrong, i called honda usa they assigned a individual to help,, ne never did anything and would call when he knew i would not be able to answer im concerned as i dont know if the airbag is faulty or the warning light absolutely no assistance from honda

Vehicle intermittently wont start when start button is pushed.

Car would not start consistently. push button start needed to be engaged up to 10 times for car to eventually start. problem continued to become worse over time. ultimately the starter needed to be replaced after only 3.5 years and approximately 49,000 miles. problem can leave driver stranded at remote locations creating an unsafe condition.

There are many many complaints on line about the starters on the 2013 honda accord - but honda still has not made a recall?? this is an expensive part to replace and they are not helping anyone? i am afraid i will get stuck somewhere and my car will not start - but it is almost one thousand dollars to get it repaired!!!! i have to crank it many times before it will start. the one shop made me get a new battery - but that did not make any difference. i feel like i will get stranded somewhere unsafe!

The fcw 03 system failure light continues to come on. the car is only four years old and has had several electrical problems. on june 27, 2017 the car cut off on me while driving on the highway due to the fcw 03 code flashing on and off. i always thought that honda made reliable and safe cars, but this is proving to be untrue. i would appreciate your company addressing the issues at hand with my car. thanks

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the starter misfired and tended to be started multiple times before it responded. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (heritage honda in baltimore maryland) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty had expired. the manufacturer offered to pay half of the replacement cost. the failure mileage was approximately 52,000.

Car keeps losing its power steering. doesn't matter what speed, nor how long i've been driving it, it's even gone out sitting at a traffic light. the only way to get it back is to turn the car off and then turn it back on. very scary when it goes out in the middle of a curve in the road.

Accord v6 coupe bought new (and spotless) and never in accident, 33,000 miles and 47 months old- car was parked in the parking lot and when i returned to the car the driver's seat back was completely flaccid. the driver's seat was essentially in the full reclined position resting against the backseat. it could be moved up and down easily to the touch with absolutely no locking mechanism (ie if it wasn't being manually held up it would fall back). i took it into the honda dealer and they said that "the seat frame had failed." i called honda to tell them and, given that it is not under warranty, will call me back if they will cover it. again, driver's seat frame failed and seatback completely flaccid and can offer no back support.

Auto has 37k miles and battery has been replaced twice since new. recently, push button start has failed, requiring multiple tries in kinder to start car. dealer indicated that starter was defective and was replaced for roughly $720. not covered under warranty. internet search reveals that many other owners having similar problems.

Honda has a "lanewatch" camera that a screen comes on when the right turn signal is deployed. our honda's camera fails to come on leaving the screen in a normal mode. this would be such as gas mileage etc. dealer and honda mototors refuse to acknowledge problem. they need to "replicate" at dealer. we called them to come to our home which is less than 5 minutes away. they always are busy or have an excuse. the vehicle was moving forward ready to turn on a city street. we took the video to show the turn signal on and no "lanewatch". we have also filed a complaint on our rear camera blacking out. dealer refuses to fix. driveaccord.com is full of similar cases. seems like a honda defective product.

Power steering failed while at a red light on 5/21/2017. it fixed itself after 3 car restarts (over the course of ~5 hours). the car was taken to the dealer on 5/22/2017 for software update to the electronic power steering control unit. the car drove fine until 5/27/2017 when it again lost power steering, this time while navigating a turn at 50mph on the freeway. luckily, i was able to regain control of the car without hitting any other cars. clearly, there is a problem with the electronic power steering and their software update does not solve the problem.

Power stering gets really tight and was hard to steer

Starter problems, car starts then does not start, stationary

My daughter hit telephone pulling in a parking at 50 mph off of a city street. she is a new driver and was spooked by a car tailgating her very close. the drivers side curtin air bag did deploy. but the drivers steering wheel air bag did not deploy. there was a passenger in front seat and his air bag did deploy. the side curtin on the passenger's side did not deploy. both passenger's where wearing seat belts at the time of accident. question is why did the drivers air bag not deploy?

I've own my car for for 1 and 1/2 years and it's dead for the 4th time i had the battery replaced a month after buying the car and am still having problems with it i don't know if it is the starter? it was parked at work for 4 hours then i moved parking spots and shut it off turned back on 10 minutes later to close windows and it's dead.

Failure of power steering wheel while driving in the highway..went to the dealership about the problem they said software update was needed.. few months later loss of power steering and steering light comes back on while driving on the local road.. if you turn off the engine and restart light will disappear and power steering works again

When reversing from a parking space and while turning the steering wheel to the left, the eps light indicator came on and my steering wheel was very hard to turn/would not turn at all. i shut off the car 3 times after waiting a minute each time. the light still came one and the wheel was still stuck. after waiting about 5 minutes and restarting, it went away. took my car to the dealership today and it is there now. they are stating i may need to use my extended warranty for coverage but after researching, seems to be a glitch in the torque censor. hoping they will do the software update without needing to use my warranty.

Under light, medium, and heavy acceleration transmission slips, shutters, jerks  back and forth, hesitates and does not accelerate the vehicle properly.  when entering freeway the vehicles transmission slips, shutters, jerks back and forth, hesitates, engine revs loud, but transmission does not accelerate the  vehicle. these symptoms are consistently inconsistent and unsafe.

Unable to start vehicle. push button, lights blink, clicking noise but car will not start. sometimes works after waiting 1 hour or more.

My care is consuming oil.

Did my routine oil change at hondas recommended 15% oil life since i purchased the vehicle new in august 2013 last year july 2016 went in for an oil change after a few months i was down to about 30% oil life i was driving home i applied the brakes and the oil light came on and i heard a noise coming from the motor i stopped and checked oil it was very low hardly any on dip stick i thought maybe when i did the oil change at dealer they didn't put correct amount of oil so i than did my own oil change topped it off ran for about a minute and checked oil it was filled i than drove it and again the oil was low but this time only with 40% oil life left i took it to dealer few weeks back they did the oil consumption test am waiting to hit a 1000 miles to take it back to them

Heard growling sound from engine when coming to a stop, occasionally during acceleration at low speeds and during cold start. went to dealership and issue was found to be due to low engine oil (3 quarts low) . had the oil changed about 6000 miles before this issue occurred.

While backing the vehicle rear camera goes black, leaving only lighted trajectory lines on the screen. for 2 years the car has been under warranty and the dealer has not been able to fix the problem. it has happened stationary and moving. on a city street only. we have multiple videos and pictures if needed.

Power steering failed while driving! this is the 2nd time this has happened within 6 mos. first time i was able to restart the steering by turning off the ignition and restarting. this time 4/20/17 can't get the epr to return!!! the car was in motion both times on local streets.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the steering wheel was extremely tight and hard to turn left and right. the contact mentioned that the failure was progressing. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering gear box needed to be replaced. in addition, the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was included in a service campaign to update the eps software and address the eps torque sensor but the contact was uncertain if the manufacturer solution would provide a remedy to prevent the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

For the last year, the car has been unable to start after parking it for a few minutes. usually after a few key turns it will start. a month ago it would not start at all so we towed it. the dealership decided it was the starter. after 37,000 miles? it's a honda! it worked fine for 5 weeks and then it died again after being driven just a few miles. this time the dash lights flashed and clicked for a few minutes but would not start. after towing it, the dealership hooked it up to a jumpstart and it started! three lights continued to flash so the dealership hooked it up to the computer. i called them a couple days later and they have no answers. i hate letting my wife drive an unreliable vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the first interim notice concerning an air bag recall had been received several months ago, but the parts had not been supplied to the dealer from the manufacturer. the manufacturer was unable to provide a reasonable time frame to supply the dealer with parts. the vin was not available. the contact was not experiencing a failure.

Apparently, honda has been using wiring harnesses that are coated in some sort of soy based material in an effort to go green. unfortunately, this has resulted in an unwanted consequence of rodents being attracted to my car. they are constantly trying to chew through the wires and this can result in a very expensive repair bill from honda. this is something they did to the vehicles they manufacturer, and the fact that they're making us vehicle owners pay for the repair bills is unacceptable to me, but what can you do? i've read online this is not just affecting vehicle owners in rural areas, but owners who live in cities like i do. so far, i've had to use some bitter apple spray that only causes the rodents to try nibbling elsewhere in the engine bay. i don't have any pictures, but i can take some upon request. i'd hate to be driving when something fails.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel locked up. the contact coasted to a fuel station and the vehicle was turned off. the electronic power steering warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was started and the steering ability became very difficult. the vehicle was driven home. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where it was diagnosed that the electronic power steering system needed to be replaced; however, it was not covered under warranty. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

I own a 2013 honda accord lx and it has started having intermittent issues starting. the battery is two months old and has been check and it's fine. starter has been checked and its fine. car will start sometimes on first try, but other times takes several attempts. turning steering sometimes helps, turning off all lights sometimes helps and pressing gas pedal sometimes helps, but issue is not consistent. see others are having same type of issues on several forums.

My driver side front and rear doors did not open during the winter season. i suspect they were frozen from the cold weather. but then again it only occurred on the driver side. somewhat of an safety issue i would think.

Excessive oil consumption: i have a 2013 honda accord with 74,000 miles. i purchased the extended warranty package at time of purchase. the accord engine has started using oil. at the last oil change there was only 1 quart of oil left in the engine. consumption testing did not show 1 quart/1,000 miles so nothing was done by honda. between 2,000 and 3,000 miles of the consumption test oil was consumed at a rate of 1 quart or more per 1,000 miles. honda still did nothing. i called american honda and got no where. i have purchased several honda's since 1987 but will never purchase another because of this willingness to do nothing. i was told to check the oil level every time i stopped for gas.

Vehicle is 2013 and i have replaced the started and battery 4 times due to engine failure, it turn on and immediatly dies off, my car has been towed 6 times or more since i bought, i have done all the maintenance all the time and computer never identifies this problem. i am so tired of this trash car, i stillowe on it or else i would just park it on the front lot of a dealer and put a big sign saying do not buy honda accords, many problems always. lastly, i asked the driver for the tow truck which kind of cars he tows the most due to engine failure and he said, laughing "hondas"...first time it fail to start was at 54k miles.

While driving on the highway the power steering warning light (its a little orange steering wheel with an ! next to it) comes on and the wheel becomes very hard to turn. the car also feel unstable as if i were driving over a bridge in high wind. this has happend twice so far in the last two days. both times were at night on the highway about 20 minutes into a 45 min commute. luckily for me it was late at night so i was able to pull over without incident. turning off the car and restarting it after a minute temporarily fixed the problem.

Intermittent starting issues, push start button, car makes grinding noises and clicking, brake then locks down to the floor. after repeated attempts to push button, car will eventually start..this is an intermittent problem, has occured at least 6 times in past 4 months. does not happen all the time. have had car to honda dealer for diagnostic, they cannot find problem but state there has been multiple complaints from other honda consumers. this issue has no certain time of happening, has occured on a cold and warm start. i never know when car will start or not. taking car back to honda service next week to try to diagnose again.

While driving with the ac for 15 minutes; a little smoke starts to come out of the center consoles two vents. this has been happening for the last 2 weeks every time we drive for over 15 minutes. the smoke last for up to 30 seconds then stops. once it is done, a slight odor of burned electrical can be noticed.

The i4 engine will not start intermittently. the battery is new and fully charged. many times, i get it started by straightening the steering wheel. the car is 4 years old with 51k miles so outside of warranty. the dealer wants a diagnostic fee to test other components. this is potentially dangerous to consumers for the electrical component but also a consumer hazard in terms of safety not to mention t reputational risk to honda.

***happens when vehicle is parked and turned off*** this car has a "feature" that is not disclosed to customers upon purchase which can lead to a dangerous condition for property and the interior of the vehicle. if the key fob is placed in a pocket with keys (as everyone does), there is a combination of inadvertent button presses (specifically unlock / unlock / unlock) which causes all of the windows and the sunroof to open. this has lead to my car being soaked by having all the windows open during a rainstorm while i was inside my office (with the vehicle parked right outside - the key fob works from quite a far distance). it has also lead to my belongings being compromised due to all of the windows opening when i parked in the city and was sitting in a building with the keys in my pocket, among other times. when i returned to the selling dealer i was told that they were unaware of this feature and i should read the manual. it is not detailed in the manual and there is no way to disable it.

2013 started having intermittent starting problems and i took it to the dealer where i bought the car and was told nothing wrong. i went to another dealer twice because the couldn't replicate the issue but on the 2nd time right before the warranty expire they were able to reproduce it and replaced the starter. fast forward in less than 2000 miles and less than 1 year, i'm having the starting problems. there is no way that i should having these issues, i haven't taken the car in to diagnose the intermittent starting issues yet, but if the is bad again. i wish they could figure out if the starters are bad or what's causing the starter to fail prematurely

After only 40,000 miles, 2013 v6 accord, car starter giving problem. car didn't start at one point and after many trials, started with jump start after that, started giving jerk like engine stalls during driving. scary and dangerous situation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving at an unknown speed and attempting to make a turn, the wheels locked up. as a result, the vehicle struck a curb and the front driver side tire blew out. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a local dealer. the dealer diagnosed that the wheels locked up due to a manufacturer defect. the dealer was unable to determine the particular code that was needed to unlock the wheels. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 65,207.

My 2013 honda accord touring (29,262 miles) will not crank nor start. there has been no previous problems/warnings, just wouldn't start one morning. it's parked in my garage. i put a new battery in the key fob although the other one was working to see if that was the problem. when i press it the car unlocks as normal. the interior & exterior lights comes on and the directions of how to start the car still show. the car is in park, i put my foot on the brakes & press the start/stop button. there is a slight beeping sound and a few lights showing in the dash, but it won't start. when i press the button again the accessory mode comes on as normal. the radio plays, my phone connects, the navigation system works, lights works fine, etc. when i press it once to turn it off, all the lights in the dash light up, the ac comes on, & all the pre-programmed warning lights come on one by one with a beep. finally i press it one final time to turn it off. so everything works fine, it just won't start. this leads me to conclude that the starter has gone out like multiple complaints i've read. i'm currently waiting for the dealer to verify that. after only 3 years & 29,000 miles, i should not be having these problems. and i definitely should have to pay $700-$800 which is estimated starter replacement cost.

Tpm sensor light failure, it stays on

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving approximately 10 mph, the power steering malfunctioned and caused the steering wheel to become very difficult to turn. as a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the contact indicated that the failure previously occurred after the battery was recharged. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was an electrical short in the dome light. the dome light was removed. the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 55,000.

Intermittent problems with starting engine. dash lights come on, but starter does not engage. so far, has started after sometimes extensive operation of the shift lever. has happened multiple times over the past year.

This week, with the car at 33,000 miles on it, my accords' eps light has been going on and off when starting the car. if it's lighted up and you try to drive, you how no power steering. i have to turn off the car and restart. sometimes it take upmtomfive try's.

Two weeks ago my accord began having issues starting. after a few attempts the engine would eventually start and i would be on my way. until last friday, august 26, 2016. i drove to a friends house, parked, came back out to start my car and would hear a "popping" sound like the engine was trying to start up, but to no avail. friend's neighbor is a retired auto mechanic. he looked at the car and found that the issue was not the battery, and determined it was the starter itself. almost magically, the car randomly decided to start again. drove it straight to an additional auto mechanic, he tested the vehicle (battery, cable connections, wires that attach to starter) and also found that the issue was the starter. my accord has 66,000 miles on it. the total cost to fix this issue will be $680, kind of ridiculous. this seems to be a common issue from what i've read. please investigate.

Two weeks ago, my steering wheel pulled left quickly and then back. i thought i hit a rock. in the past two weeks same issue. yesterday, pulled out of the garage and the steering wheel indicator light came on. read the book. restarted the engine. it went away. today, after driving about 5 minutes indicator light came on again. steering wheel froze. restarted and ok. driving on major highway, indicator light came on and all steering was frozen. i am traveling, therefore had to find the closest honda dealer. i am now stranded for two days awaiting repair. i'm 8 hours from home, and now suspicious and worried whether i will return home safely. after reading some entries, i too had slow movements since i have owned this vehicle -- thought is was the new cvs engine.

Push start failure my car had 50000 miles on it when it started having trouble with the push start button. it did it once a week sometimes and eventually happened every time i tried to start the car. i took it to a mechanic and they were unable to pin point the problem. the starter checked out ok but since they could not find any other problem, they replaced the starter and kept the original incase i continued to have the problem they could return the original and give me my money back. it's been two weeks and so far i havent had the problem anymore. only time will tell.

Electric power steering my electric power steering light and vehicle stability light came on and the steering felt very loose. i turned the car off and back on and lights went away. went to the store and the two lights came on again. i immediately turned it back off and the lights went away again. i have read many people have lost control when the light came on and it makes me really nervous to drive the car now.

Tpms light illuminates even though all tires have the correct pressure. two visits to the dealer have not resovled the issue.

I am the 1st owner of my accord.the issue occurs with the car being stationary and parked in a driveway, parking lot or on a street. with in the last two weeks i started having problems with starting my car. i would turn the key the dash and all associated parts would light up but the engine would not start. the battery was fine. it would take 3 turns of the key to get it started. took it to the dealership today 8/17/16 and they diagnosed it with a bad starter. the cost of the repair is $900-$1000. the car has 35000 and i have owned it for 3 years.

The starter in my 2013 honda accord coupe failed after only 3 years and 55,000 miles. the car would not start when i pressed the push to start button and would finally turn on after numerous attempts. this went on for 3 weeks until the car would no longer start.

I parked vehicle on residential city street. returned to the vehicle 15 minutes later and vehicle would not start. many of the indicator lights came on. called aaa, initial technician responded and could not start the car by jumping with battery pack. battery tested ok. tow truck was called, operator tried to jump the vehicle again with battery pack and the vehicle started. tow truck operator suggested i tell the dealership he suspected the starter or the wiring to the starter was the problem. a/c prior to this event had been working now had no power. drove the vehicle immediately to dealership. vehicle was left and diagnosed with faulty starter. fuse was blown to a/c. (we did note that the car had been harder to start recently - having to turn the key more than 1 time to get the car to start. still this was hardly noticeable or apparent that a problem was developing.) starter and fuse to be replaced at dealership will be picking up car hopefully today. this was not merely inconvenient and unpleasant but extremely dangerous emergency for persons with health/medical issues - it was very hot out with poor air quality and passenger and myself were stranded and without a/c for 4 hours. concerned about this happening again and why this happened. vehicle is maintained, 3yrs old with approx. 35,000. i am seeing numerous similar/identical reports from other owners.

Go to start my car and lights and ac work fine. the engine does not want to turn over and takes several attempts sometimes and other times it starts right off. the battery is only two months old and the dealer said it was the starter which is going to cost me $700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the. dealer said that this is way too early for a starter to go out on a 3 year old car with 550 miles on it. i have researched this and have found there are hundreds of people across the u.s. having this same exact issue. this needs the upmost immediate attention as this is a very costly and detrimental issue and some of us have no money to fix this!!! this must be dealt with now before lawsuits start happening!

I am the first owner of my 2013 honda accord sport and 2 months ago i developed an issue with the starter. i've replaced the starter twice and tonight got stranded and had to call a tow truck to bring it home. i've gone to the honda dealer and, of course, there's an issue with the starter, but it will cost $1000+ to fix! this issue must be investigated and recalled as soon as possible. honda is fully aware of all of these issues and if you get the right technician at the dealership - they'll tell you honda is fully aware, but couldn't care less! 2 starters later - i'm still in the same position!

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the electronic power steering warning light illuminated and the steering wheel very difficult to turn. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 39,000.

On june 26, 2015 we discovered the passenger side air bags had deployed some time during the night on this 2013 honda accord. my daughter had an accident in early may 2015, but the damage was minor. on the driver's side front. around the same time, her mirror got knocked off her passenger door. i contacted honda, who eventually said they had determined it was not a defect and that i needed to pursue a claim with my auto insurance. my case number with honda is [xxx]. i made a claim with my insurance company, progressive. that claim number is [xxx]. i sent nhtsa an email complaint at that time, but never heard back. today i received an airbag recall notice on a 2012 honda accord my youngest daughter owns. i am very disappointed that nhtsa has not responded. i ultimately paid $2,984.60 in repairs for the airbags. honda airbags have a known airbag problem. i think nhtsa should make them reimburse me. i have attached a copy of the invoice. my email is [xxx] my phone (cell) is [xxx]. my mailing address is [xxx] please help. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My transmission fluid was very low so i took it in to the dealership to get it checked out. prior to this my brother drove my car and said it was not going into gears smoothly. when i took it into the dealership the representative said low transmission fluid can make the car run not too smooth. he did mentioned that there was a notice for a foul spark plug and told me to drive the car for a few days and if the problem doesn't fix itself then to bring it back in so they can look further into the problem. my concern is if i have a recall and i am having problems that could be caused by a faulty spark plug shouldn't they automatically bring my car in and replace the spark plugs? on your site it appears that i have had two recalls for my vehicle. not once have i been notified by the dealership. this is new to me. i'm not familiar with this process. can you please give me some guidance? thank you, concerned customer *tr

Intermittently, maybe 30-50 times in total in the 112k miles i've driven the car, when you depress the brake and push the start button, all the dash lights come on, but the starter does not turn. there a noise of an electrical switch turning in the dash, but i don't think it is the starter solenoid. i replaced the battery, but that didn't help. i've read of a brake switch not telling the starter it was okay to start, but haven't checked that. i've read honda replacing the starter, but i haven't done that. some posts say replace the start switch.

I currently have the front collision warning and lane departure failure readout display along with the following yellow service lights; fcw, ldw , esp, abs, electronic steering and tps lights activated. the front collision warning, lane departure safety feature, anti-braking system and electronic stability are not working at this time as i drove to the dealership this morning while it was snowing (vehicle obviously in motion). i"m currently waiting for resolution from the dealership and american honda corporation.

Steering gets pulled to one side. thought might be the alignment but that did not fix anything

While driving about 40mph in a straight line i suddenly lost power steering. i had the eps light show on my dash. i pulled over and restarted the car 2 or 3 times before the power steering came back to normal. the steering was incredibly hard to turn. a few hours later i brought the car to a honda dealer and they were able to confirm that an error code was logged during incident: dtc 71-01 motor angle sensor (sin/cos signals) unfortunately, they were not able to determine the cause of the above eps failure. they concluded that the issue is "intermittent" and that i should continue to drive the car and see if it happens again. i am afraid to drive this car now after this experience.

Problem with windows/sunroof: car parked in okc parking lot for 11+ hours and when went to leave, all four windows were down and sunroof was open. car remained locked. this is security issue since anyone can access vehicle and even open trunk (nothing would be safe).

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the engine failed to start. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

The starter on the 2013 honda accord ex-l sedan began to fail at less than 50k miles. it began with the symptoms of not starting with the first press on the push button ignition, which i was told by honda may just be a fault of my own for not operating the push button system correctly. this turned out to be incorrect as once my warranty expired the car started to require more and most "pushes" to start. eventually i was left stranded and the car would on start at all irrespective of the number of times i tried. while this was not a safety issue where i was stranded, in other situations this could have easily resulted in injury, or in the worst case, the loss of life.

After my 100,000 maintenance in september 2020, my honda accord began having problems starting. since then, i have replaced the battery, the alternator and starter. when i start the car for the first time of the day, it starts. after parking the car after i have gone some place, the car will not start. then, i have to keep pressing the electrical start button until the car starts. so far, at times, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to re-start the car. i reported the situation to honda usa on 02/01/2021 and they said there are no recalls on this vehicle so they cannot help me. however, honda usa did start a case for me. my wife and i do not want to get stranded after driving some place. after reviewing the internet, the electrical starting system is a major issue for the 2013 honda accord. honda usa says you cannot believe everything on the internet. see carcomplaints.com. something needs to be done because it is a safety issue.

Headlight assembly is accumulating moisture condensation inside of it.

While driving on the freeway the electronic power steering went out making the car extremely difficult to steer. i was able to muscle the steering with brute force and get the car home. after sitting in my driveway for a few hours the problem improved (the power assist was back) but the car makes scraping sound when the wheels are turning.

When i start to take off the car stalls our on me for like 3 or 4 seconds, it has almost caused me to wreck a lot of times and my 2013 honda pilot does the same thing

Error lights on dashboard come up (lots of them) and in the center it states "fcw system failure". honda trying to charge me $1,600 to fix the errors and apparently this is happening to a ton of people. clearly something that needs to be recalled

My car suddenly starting being very difficult to steer to the right and when trying to steer to the left it spins. this occurs while driving. i live in the mountains so it is terrifying to think of the potential should i be unable to control the car and run off the road. the car is unsafe to drive and i fear for my safety so i took it to the honda dealership in boone, nc. this leaves me without a car to drive and no access to alternative transportation in my small rural mountain community. the dealership was unable to pull a diagnostic code from the computer. they used a diagnostic troubleshooting tree and found it to be an issue with the power steering rack and the repair would be nearly $3k. i have been a loyal honda customer for 25 years and expect better. this appears to be a widespread issue that isn’t being addressed by the company. there are hundreds of reports that i have seen online with this same issue so it is clearly a manufacturing flaw that needs to be remedied by honda. i am an elderly widow and need reliable transportation. i do not have the funds to repair this car and need assistance from honda and the nhtsa to help get this resolved. thank you for your assistance and urgent attention to this matter for me and the many many many others facing this same failure in the 2013 accord. please do the right thing. people’s safety should be foremost for any company like honda.

When we fill gas to the full tank, it is smelling

When driving or when car starts, several lights on the dash come on, fdw, brake, steering wheel, lane departure, abs... the warning fcw system failed flashes on message center. this has been doing for years on and off. has gotten worse recently on more than not lately. also the steering wheel has been locking up when i start my car.

Intermittent start button not engaging. new battery, new batteries in both fobs. usually occurs after initial start when you have driven, stopped at a designation, even just to gas up. you press start button, all lights come on, you turn it of and usually on the third attempt it starts.

While driving my steering wheel sharply turns left if let go of steering wheel. accidently i noticed i have a letter from honda to bring the car for steering gear software update where it references to two codes that if they are set honda will replace the steering gear assembly and extends warranty to 13 years after the purchase. dealer upgraded the software but test driving it and still car turns left sharply but their diagnostic is not coming with any code to say the what the issue is. the steering gear apparently is electrically driven. their recommendation is to replace it at my own cost of $3750. i directly contacted the honda corporate at 800-999-1009 and described the situation and a case number assigned (#11377924). separately discussing the issue with dealer management and they said they also talk to honda engineering to find the issue and hopefully at no cost to me. unfortunately a couple of days the case has been turned down and honda case manager indicated they are not willing to cover the cost. i argued this is a safety matter and accident can happen. your honda diagnostic could not come up with any code and you need to figure this out for your own sake and honda reputation, but to no avail unfortunately. dealer final offer was to give a couple of hundreds off of replacement cost. if there was a diagnostic and would be able to indicate the cause that would have been acceptable. currently this is a safety issue. i have the honda letter and dealership done the software upgrade but currently at the car is at the dealership the dealership is gillman honda in houston, tx at hwy 59 and sam houston beltway south.

The trunk has opened by itself several times. the last time was dec. 26. it is only when it is parked. i took it to the honda dealer and they said nothing was wrong with the latch, and they couldn't find the problem.

Push start doesn't start the car, there is only 42,000 miles on the car and i've only had the car a little over three years. this should be a recall as it appears to be an electrical issue.

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly pulled to the right without the contact turning the steering wheel. the vehicle crashed into the wall on the side of the road. the air bags deployed. the vehicle was destroyed and towed. a police report was filed. the contact received injuries to the leg, arm, and hand. the passenger received injuries to their collar bone and knee. medical attention was required. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the contact received a notice from the manufacturer indicating that the vehicle needed to be examined for a possible power steering failure due to an extensive amount of complaints that started an investigation regarding the same failure the approximate failure mileage was 14,000. updated 01/31/17*lj *cn

When i stopped for paying toll, car displayed engine light and steering safely light with jerking sound, not acceleration and steering g locked for few seconds and then released . i pulled the vehicle to parking lot and stopped...i started the vehicle after 3 minutes ... there is a rattling noise in the engine and (fcw) warning came... says fcw system failed . i left the car at parking lot and towing back to dealer tomorrow... not safe to drive as the accelation is very erratic and consistent ...traveling with my kids and scared of losing control of the car... it is on interstate 294 close o'hare airport .. christmas day and all repair shops closed

Under normal use, at 77,185 miles, passenger rear wheel bearing failed. was diagnosed and replaced at dealership. a rumbling type noise was noticed at speeds greater than 40mph less than 20 miles prior to bringing in to dealership for repair.

The tpms light came on a few hundred miles before a tire blew out. i considered the tear in the side-wall of the tire before the blow to be the likely cause of the tpms light on (losing pressure). after a brand new set of four (4) tires, no matter how many times i try to re-calibrate the tpms, or check the tire pressure myself, or take the car to the tire shop to check the pressures, the light remains on no matter what. this is an on0going issue that continues daily, despite driving conditions.

2013 honda accord won't start. lights, a/c, radio, windows work. this occurred after 50,000 miles. i would have to turn steering column at first to get it to start. now it doesn't start at all! the vehicle is stationary

When driving all of a sudden power steering fails all the lights on the dashboard flash on and off and all the electrical's shut off including heat/ac. everything goes back to normal after a few seconds. this happens randomly and at various speeds. *tr

My car is not starting. turn the key and nothing. no dragging noise and no clicking. all the lights come on. seems to be so common at the honda dealership they tell me whats wrong before even examining the car. they say its the starter. having it examined by the 3rd auto mechanic today. only 39,000 miles, should not be having these out of pocket expenses. from all the research i am doing, this should be a recall. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. when the vehicle was started, the fcw, ldw, abs, traction control, and power steering warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 26,000.

Power steering stopped working out of nowhere with no warning. extremely dangerous situation if driving on highway or anywhere for that matter. fortunately the car was parked when the power steering went out. took car to the honda dealer and they told me that the car had no recalls.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds in the rain, the brake pedal was depressed however, vehicle was hard to stop and unstable. the brake, tpms, and vehicle stability assist warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to walsh honda (2056 eisenhower pkwy, macon, ga 31206, (478) 788-4510) where the contact was informed that the repair parts were on back order. the contact stated the wrong part was previously installed in the vehicle. the manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 132,000. invalid vin.

Vehicle stability assist is de-activated due to dtc 85-01 signal failure indicated in electronic power steering module. because of this, anti-lock brakes are not functional. ordered replacement vsa modulator through local repair shop first week in aug 11, 2020, but honda america estimates ship date of dec 21, 2020 (19 weeks)! they ship thousands of new cars every week with new vsa modulators, meanwhile i have to drive my car with the critical safety equipment deactivated!

Power steering not working at all. got into my honda to go up the street but could not turn the steering wheel. notice the power steering light on. tried several time to cut the engine off and restart, but the system never came on. like riding a dead mule!

According to uber, this vehicle 1hgcr2f58da240979 has been salvaged or has a rebuilt title. the dealer does not agree and carfax report denies being involved in any accident in the past. per uber " uber will be notified by nhtsa and reactivate the vehicle automatically."

Car will not start even with the key fob inside the car. key fob has new battery, car battery is fine as well. bringing the fob close to the start button occasionally starts the car. similar issue was recalled in earlier models, no recall has been issued for later vins

Starter button fails to start engine,50% of the time,even with brake fully depressed.

On 10/8/20 power steering went out while driving about 20 mpg in a parking lot. warning icon came on. problem resolved after turning car off and restarting. this is the 2nd time it’s has happened.

After working a late shift at her job, my wife went to drive home only to have the car fail to start. at 11pm, she was left stranded in an empty parking lot until i could reach her (45 minutes from our home). the car's starter had failed. a google search shows that this is a common and well-documented flaw with the 2013 accord. called the local dealer and they insist that they have no reports of known starter issues. repair cost is over $300 ($200 for part plus labor costs). reached out to honda corporate, no response.

I own a 2013 honda accord sport, 4 cylinder earth dreams engine with 65000 miles on it. there is a very known issue with excessive oil consumption and oil burning in these earth dreams engines. the piston rings are faulty causing oil to be burned in the combustion chamber. honda had a recall for this issue in 2008-2012 and this issue is happening in my vehicle. prolonged oil consumption can seize the engine due to no oil being left in the engine to lubricate it. this needs to be addressed asap as this oil consumption issue has never been rectified. this engine is burning 4 quarts of oil in 2500 miles..there is black soot and the end of the tailpipe, which is a clear indication of oil burning. honda beeda to address this issue with a recall to replace stuck or worn piston oil rings. repairs for this issue are over 3000 dollars. this cost should not be passed on to the customer due to faulty parts or faulty engineering

Power steering went out. warning light for power steering came on. turned off car, restarted and the same warning light came on. turned off the car again, restarted and power steering was then working. this did not cause an accident.

Driver airbag did not deploy, however, passenger airbag did deploy. car was stationary and hit from behind by another vehicle moving at least 35 mph and car pushed into another stationary vehicle in front. car was hit straight from behind. driver has concussion and neck injury; passenger does not, but had eye irritation.

While driving on the highway, i had the cruise control activated at approximately 70mph. my vehicle has adaptive cruise control and on two separate occasions within one day, there was no one in front of me but the car started braking hard. fortunately, no one was behind me or they probably would have rear-ended me as it took me a few seconds to cancel the cruise control since it caught me by surprise. in at least one of the instances, there was a large tractor-trailer to the right of me so i'm not sure if it perceived it's shadow as being a vehicle. i bought this vehicle new in 2013 and this was the first time that the adaptive cruise control caused the vehicle to brake when no one was actually in front of me.

Bought the honda accord in november, 2012. i am the only driver. car has approximately 14,000 miles on it and the seat motor has failed. it makes noise. seat cannot be properly adjusted by motor. others have complained and said seat could collapse down and that is dangerous. this is a costly repair involving replacing entire front seat.

Rear view camera goes completely black only showing guildance lines

My steering stopped working while in a parking lot and fortunately not while making a turn. i was able to muscle it home but it was fighting me the whole time and i had to take very wide turns. there was a related recall for a steering software update and an extended warranty for a steering torque sensor. in this case it was the eps steering module which had to be replaced so it was not covered. since there are known problems with the steering, i think the eps module should be considered in the recall/extended warranty bulletin since it impacts the same safety issue as the recall.

The electronic power steering (eps) is progressively failing just like many other owners have reported previously. i first noticed this while driving on the highway 65 to 75 miles per hour but it continues to get worse regardless of speed. the steering wants to turn left on its own and it is sluggish whenever i make a turn either direction. in fact i can even feel the sluggish steering while the car is parked. i've been commuting to work in my old gmc truck while this problem is being looked at by a local garage. this is clearly a safety hazzard and considering how many people have encountered failures with the eps over multiple model years i don't understand why honda hasn't recalled it. my local garage said it requires the steering rack replaced which is an expensive part and will require significant labor cost as well. i've been a loyal honda customer since 1992 because of the historical quality of their vehicles so it's disappointing they don't want to recall this. i guess it's time to look at other brands of vehicles for my next purchase.

The engine and transmission have class 1 leaks gasket area. to be more specific, leaks found on engine head gasket and transmission housing area.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the starter would intermittently grind preventing the vehicle from starting. the contact stated he would let the vehicle sit for a couple minutes before the vehicle was started. several attempts were made while starting the vehicle. the contact contacted the dealer kelly honda (540 lynnway, lynn, ma 01905; (781) 595-5252) who informed the contact of service bulletin 16-002. the vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

I have owned this vehicle for 4 years with no problems. i recently started using the auto feature of the climate control system. both times that i have used it after a couple days of driving my power steering goes out and the speed of the car doesn't seem to matter. i have researched this on social media and can't find a solution to this problem other than to take it to a honda dealership and spend $2000 to replace the components. my solution now is not to use the auto climate control system. i only have just over 60000 and the problem is not from wear and tear. i have contacted the local honda dealer and honda customer service with no help as to some advice to deal with this. looking at what is on social media, i can't believe this hasn't been recalled. this has really blown my bubble as to the high regard i had for honda vehicles over the years.

Paint around rear window is peeling/delaminating. bare metal exposed.

Engine is making grinding/screeching noise when the car starts, every single time. the mileage on the car is just 65,000. honda dealership does not even know what the issue is. no recall yet.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while at an intersection stop, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal to proceed driving and at 6 mph, another vehicle crashed into the contacts driver side door. no airbag deployed. no injuries were sustained. no police report was filed. the contact stated that the other vehicle left the seen. the contact managed to drive the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a diagnostic testing and informed the contact that the airbag senor needed to be replaced. the vehicle at this time was being repaired. the contact mentioned nhtsa action number: ea19001 (air bags) as a possible solution to why the airbags did not deploy. the dealer bill kay honda (1360 locke dr, bourbonnais, il 609140) was contacted and confirmed no recall was present under the vin. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was offered. the failure mileage was approximately 121,000. the vin was not available.

2-3 months ago, at approx 72,000 miles, the starter would not work on occasion. independent diagnostic suggested issue with alternator (replaced) and battery (replaced). issue continued. now we have not been able to start the car for days. a test of the starter shows nothing wrong. then fcw system failed while trying to start the car, cleared and failed again. pushing starter button results in all lights and power coming on, but no start of the car. when power is off and door open, there is a warning signal similar to when lights are left on, but lights are off. seems the starter problem is common, but the recommended fixes are not working. repeatedly replacing parts does not resolve the issue. i was 150 miles from home before the last start. when the car started after several attempts, i immediately drove home. i can't risk being stranded.

I am getting error readings on my 2013 honda accord exl, v6 that the fcw has failed which is causing other error lights (tire pressure, traction, etc). i have only 65,000 miles on this car. should this failure occur at this small mileage? should this not be a recall issue?

Power steering locked up while driving. warning light came on. problem repeated 3 to 4 times. steering hard to turn in either direction. safely drive to a side. turn car ignition off for a minute that reset steering to normal. at traffic singnal when stopped at 0 speed clicking noise felt at break padel and at accelerator. take it to a deler in orlando found steering rack gear box need to replace(52-02) also needs wheel alignment.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated while her husband was driving at 35 mph, when the steering wheel began to pull to the left independently. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to independent mechanic and was informed to have the vehicle taken to local dealer. the vehicle was then taken to local dealer cookeville honda located at 560 neal st, cookeville, tn 38501, (931) 528-6009, where it was diagnosed with needing "gear box" to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. the manufacturer had been informed of failure. the failure mileage was 112,000.

Vehicle is a push start. sometimes it acts like the starter has a problem. won’t crank every time. vehicle driver side door will not unlock with the key fob. had it diagnosed at dealership said that the motor in the door went out.

The traction control, brake, power steering and fcw error lights come on while driving. the message states "fcw failed". this happens while driving, parked and on all road surfaces. even while parked in the garage. all lights come on at the same time.the come on as the vehicle gets to normal operating temperature.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while the vehicle was at a stand still at her residence, the forward collision avoidance and lane departure warning lights illuminated. the contact stated two weeks later the tire pressure measuring system, electronic power steering and abs warning lights illuminated intermittently. the vehicle was taken to local dealer nelson honda located at 2500 greensboro rd, martinsville, va 24112, (855) 910-6219, where it was diagnosed with needing vsa (vehicle stability assist) module to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. the manufacturer had been informed of failure. the failure mileage was 110,000.*dt

No power steering, went out while driving. low mileage, always did manu repairs.

Wife was driving at around 35 mph when the power steering cut out. no warning lights or anything. i drove it next day and no issues....day after that i drove it with essentially no power steering. i bring it to the dealer, "electronic power steering motor" they tell me....they replace that and then decide the "control box" for it also needs replaced....they replace that and the issue is still not resolved. now they are telling me they dont know whats wrong with it and they are in direct contact with honda (its at a honda dealer.) he tells me last night to be patient "theres something we need to try" i said ok keep me updated havnt heard back yet. i see theres lots of issues on here about this how is it not a recall? i also found a thread from 2015 where people have paperwork about a recall....but can find nothing about this recall on hondas website. not sure what to do being the bill is already over 2k and they dont even know what they need to fix....

I purchased my 2013 honda accord last fall. it had 28,000 miles on it at purchase and has 36,700 miles today. two weeks after i had an oil change and tires rotated, i began having issues with the power steering pulling left. while traveling at 50mph on a crowded city highway, my steering wheel jerked left and i could have hit the car in the lane next to me. the problem presented at intermittent times occurring later in a trip. i did an experiment in a parking lot; rolling forward very slowly, i let go of the steering wheel. the steering wheel spun to the left and the car executed a perfect 90-degree left turn by itself. the car did this again twice more despite turning the engine off for a period before turning it back on. i took it back to my local mechanic who could find no error code but could replicate the problem. after resetting the torque sensor, it was a bit better but not fixed as the car still wants to turn left. the steering is erratic sometimes it is hard to turn right and sometimes the steering feels loose. my local mechanic sent me to the dealership where i purchased the car who suggested i take it to a honda dealer. the dealer’s service department also replicated the problem but could not fix it because the car did not show any error codes and honda will only reimburse them if the car shows two specific error codes. i followed their suggestion to call honda; [xxx]. the regional case manager called me back, did not ask me any questions about my problem but rudely launched into a rapid-fire lecture about why honda was not responsible for fixing this problem in my car. both mechanics who looked at my car state it needs a new power steering rack and this is a safety issue. i am a doctoral student, i cannot afford a $2500 car repair quoted by both mechanics. *js *js parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Intermittent starting problem

Sun visor falling in front of my face. will not stay up at all now.

My car just got 22,000 miles but has problems with the starter. i joined a forum of people who own same type of my car. there are many people has same problems with mine. some lucky people got the problem when the car has 80,000 miles. some unlucky people got the problem with the low miles on the car as me. i think honda need to have a recall for starter problem of honda accord 13 model.

My daughters 2013 honda accord v6 had a stutter upon acceleration. after researching the issue, the transmission was flushed 4 times. this is a common problem with these new transmissions honda put in the 2013. a few days ago the side wall of the side mission exploded. chunks of metal was found on the ground and it smelled like it might catch on fire.

Having "grinding" sounds when trying to start the car, heard this is a common issue for multiple 2013-2015 accord owners. this is a intermittent issue that doesn't let the car start. last time it happened was 07/28/2020 but it had happen multiple times in the last year.

I lost my power steering at 65mph driving to the coast on highway 26 in oregon. i nearly crashed my car on the curve when my wheel would not turn like it normally does. i had to yank the wheel to the left to stay on the road. i was terrorist! i slowed my can to 50mph the rest of the 45 miles to my beach house in seaside oregon. the steering continued to get worse and i has happy to have the traffic slow down 20 miles out of seaside to bumper to bumper. i barely got the wheel to turn into my driveway at our seaside, oregon home. i started my 'research' to see if a recall had been made on my car for power steering because i would have died hitting the wall of dirt and trees leaving the highway. this is a huge safety issue! i found an article from 2014 that 374,000 people had complained of this same problem. and that you were investigating back in 2014! my car only has about 42,000 miles on it and that was the time of them going out according to the article. cars effected were 2013-2017 honda accords ex. mine is that and a v6. how many people have crashed & died with this faulty part? do you have record of it? i want this electrial power steering part recalled!! you have failed with not recalling it back in 2014!! i am holding "you" accountable for this happening to me!! i want you to pay for my car to be fixed and my rental car! i need you to respond to me [email protected] 503-367-3072 is my cell. you are lucky i didn't crash!! my car is sitting in my driveway in seaside, oregon and i need it towed to beaverton, oregon to get it fixed. i have posted the 2014 article of you not recalling this!

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and vibrated abnormally with the electronic power steering failure warning light illuminated. additionally, the vehicle went into limp mode and decelerated to 40 mph. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. bob howard honda located at 13201 n. kelly ave, oklahoma city, ok 73131, and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 150,000.

When pressing start button light will flicker but the car will not start

1. there is hesitation when accelerating and the shifts are hard and jolting 2. the downshifting coming from highway speeds is terrifying. hard, jolting shifts that happen way too early and way too close together. it makes it like the car is stalling causing a serious safety hazard. a lot of people have this issue with this model and there really needs to be a recall or a tuning software update that fixes this.

Iba conduciendo y de momento se puso dura la direcciÓn. lo escanean, le borran el error y enciende sin problema, posteriormente al apagarlo nuevamente presenta la direcciÓn dura. le borran nuevamente el error y mientras no se apague no falla.

Vehicle stall, failed to accelerate . the stall is common and honda needs to fix this issue before someone gets into an accident . i went to honda and no issue was found, i am thinking this might be fuel pump recall.

When i first purchased my 2013 honda accord from the dealership i noticed sometimes the push start would stall or sound like it was failing. also my driver side door would not respond to my key fob. all other doors respond to it except the driver door. i have replaced the battery and still the issue hasn't been resolved. i have been taking the actual key out of the fob and inserting it into the car door to unlock my driver side door. now the ac has began to stop and start. it almost sounds like the fan motor is kicking on and off. and my driver side seat is not sliding back properly. it will began to glide then stop. then i have to keep pressing and it'll glide back a little and then stop again. overall i think there is some sort of electrical shortage or something is happening with it. according to the national highway traffic safety administration there was an electrical system recall sent out june 29, 2017. as stated on their website this could result in an electrical short increases the risk of a fire. the nhtsa campaign id is 17v418000 !

The car sometimes starts without key, the car steals power when kept out

We were driving on the highway on a trip to texas and the steering wheel automatically turned on its own, causing us to almost crash into other cars on the highway. no lights appeared on our dash and it was out of the ordinary. we were driving 75-85 mph and could have injured multiple people if we had crashed. the steering wheel became so hard to control requiring my fiancÉ to grip the steering wheel to turn it into the emergency lane of the highway. once he let go of the steering wheel, it would turn really fast on its own to the left. he tried turning the car on and off, but the issue was still there. i called the honda dealer and explained what i found on the nhtsa website. he said he would research it and call me back but he never returned my call. this is big safety issue that honda is aware of and should cover the repair cost. i tried calling corporate only to have my call cut off 3 times. what is the actual problem; because without a dashboard light and no code we don’t know? *tr

Started in june after weather consistently over 80 degrees... while trying to start car have to push start button several times before car will start. problem is intermittent. *tr

The hose on the gas tank has a hairline crack in it. the only way to repaint is to change the whole gas tank which is $1200. the fuel tank is on backorder so obviously others have had issues with it.

Apparently many have complained about faulty starters in this particular model, and sure enough i experienced it today. the starter failed. this is from a cold start and it's happened three times already. *tr

I was driving my car in a residential neighborhood. the dash on the car displayed a "start stop" error. then, there was much less horsepower. i am guessing there was between 10 and 20 horse power. the car could barely go 20 miles per hour. then, the dash said, stop the car. your car is over heating. so, i pulled to the side of the street and stopped the car. i was lucky that i was on a residential side street. where i live, some sections of freeway are 12 and 16 lanes wide. if i had lost power in this situation, i don't think i could have made it to the side of the road safely. the water pump on my model car was part of a safety recall. audi claims that they have fixed the problem with the design before my car was manufactured. however, the water pump on my car only lasted for 49,000 miles. i suspect that the re-design of the water pump is still not adequate. please investigate the issue with our water pump. *tr

To begin with i've had to change my battery atleast 4 times(one time it exploded with battery acid)in the last 2 years. also 6 different lights in the panel are on(brake/abs/tire pressure/a steering wheel with an !/maintenance/power steering. i recently purchased 4 new tires from firestone and got the car aligned the mechanic said he tried to reset the notification on the dashboard but it wouldn't turn off. i also had a family mechanic put it under the computer which diagnosed an electrical issue. another issue the car is having is it short circuits my head lights when it rain, which means i'm replacing them almost monthly. the car tends to shake when its stopped but only if the ac is on. so in conclusion after reading this recall in credit karma i am sure my car needs to be repaired

I was driving on a highway at 50mph and suddenly felt my car slightly jerk and make a popping noise. i did not see any obstructions prior to this, even though it felt like i had run over a tree branch. i pulled over as soon as possible and everything on my car seemed fine until i saw my sunroof was shattered. the middle part had completely broken off while the rest of the glass was shattered. it looked like something had fallen out of the sky and hit it, although it did not feel like anything had bounced off my car while driving. the sunroof door had been closed and i rarely open it (the last time i used it was at least 6 months ago). *tr

My honda accord 2013 has a burning oil issue. for every 3,000miles, my dipstick will only have 1/2 or 1/4 from the original top level. i noticed this problem last september 2018 when i to a road trip in fresno. when i checked my dipstick, it hardly had any oil on the supposed level. i dropped by a gas station and poured 1quart of oil and the oil level went up to 1/2 of the dipstick. if i did not put oil, then my car would have been running without any oil and could just stop any moment i was driving. i informed century honda on 12/01/2018 about the problem and powertrain warranty was still in effect. as of today, it appears century honda refuses to address the issue.

While trying to diagnose the check engine light my mechanic noticed that the fuel tank has a crack at the top of the tank which leaks gasoline when filled up. this is the same issue that has been reported and recalled for some other 2013 accords but not ours. honda needs to issue a recall for any vehicle that this is happening to. but as it currently stands they are not.

Intermittent starting issues. sometimes it will start on first push of the push to start button. other times it takes 10+ minutes of attempts to get it started. sometimes it just hasn't started. took to a mechanic, diagnosed as the starter, replaced starter. issue is still present this did not fix the problem

Fcw system failed, abs, tps message popped up out of the blue. i braked and the car spoed up, i had to pull up my emergency brakes, and almost rear ended another car with infant because of this. took the car to a certified mechanic with 18 certs. the brake lines, fluid, rotors, fluid were perfect. no leaks, the message is still up.he cannot pull up any codes. i am taking a screenshot of this statement with todays front page paper indicating the date i am sending this to you. please send out an emergency alert so other honda drivers do not have to use their emergency brake and possibly killing an infant or other passengers when their brakes fail.

Car has 52000 miles and car is burning excessive oil. i have read hundreds of complaints about the excessive oil consumption in the 2013 accord earth dreams engines. please investigate this issue. the 2008-2012 accord engines had a class action lawsuit and i believe another one is warranted for the 9th gen 2014-2017 accord 2.4l models..i am losing about 1qt of oil per 1000 miles. these honda engines are notorious for excessive oil consumption and the owners need help.

Twice in the past week the power steering has suddenly stopped working while driving on both a city street and a highway. it also suddenly starts working again while driving, usually the next day.

The eps gear box failed. it's hard to turn to one side while easy to turn on the other side. it's hard to be in control when to drive the car with this problem.

The car has intermittent starting issues. i have had the battery and alternator changed and checked and there appear to be no issues there. online forums suggest that this is a endemic starter issue with honda accords. sometimes the car will start with ease. other times it will not start at all. when it does not start i have to jump it, but when i take it to the auto shop afterwards they tell me that there are no apparent issues with the battery or alternator.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda acord. the contact stated that when he was driving the vehiclde down a small hill. then the abs lights illuminated when he tried to brake. the contact had to angle the wheels to come to a stop on a slightly icy. the contact went to an independent mechanic and they said there was a short in the abs system and referred him to a dealer curry honda yorktown 3845 crompond rd, yorktown heights, ny 10598 914) 739-7600 .they said there were no recalls and said to bring it in. the manufacturer had not been called yet. the failure mileage was 190,000.

Error: keyless entry issue. battery on both key fobs have been replaced with fresh batteries. this is a common problem on honda accords and honda pilots. this issue happens daily, even with key with-in 6 inches of ignition.. this issues 1st started occurring within 2.9 of when warranty went out. it was reported to dealer 1 day after warranty went out.

My son was practicing parallel parking. and car's steering wheel became stiff and hard to turn. i was able to make wheel straight and drove around slowly, mostly straight line, and steering wheel became normal, able to tune it without forcing it hard. it was scary.

I was getting off the highway and was driving home along the service road when i noticed the steering wheel automatically turned on its own, causing me to almost crash into parked cars. no lights appeared on my dash and it was out of the ordinary. luckily i was off the highway driving at low speeds, otherwise i would have injured multiple people. the steering wheel became so hard to control requiring you to grip the steering wheel to turn it. once you let go of the steering wheel, it would turn really fast on its own to the right. i tried turning on and off the car, unplugging the battery, but the issue was still there. i took it to the honda dealer and also contacted corporate in which i was told that the rack and pinion is bad, and if the car doesn't show a code, they won't cover it. my car only has 46k miles, and a big safety issue like this should have been covered or partially covered. instead, i was told it was going to be over $3k for install and parts, which is ridiculous.

Starter motor does not activate all of the time. the starter just clicks about 50% of the time . this has been going on for 3 months. the car will eventually start after numerous tries. approximate mileage 67000

Emissions light on. smell gasoline always. mechanic stated he needed to change the cylinder senson and put a new gas cap on. once this was performed on the vehicle , two hours or less, emission light on and same issue presented itself. the vehicle was stationary when the inital problem occured with the emission and still occuring.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 accord. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to immediately start when the push to start button was depressed. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer sons honda (105 sons dr. mcdonough ga ) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced. the starter was replaced however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. no further assistance was provided. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 98,000.

Intermittent ignition failure. this seems to occur more frequently in colder weather, but i have had issues all year long. when attempting to start the engine, you hear a loud static noise with no engagement of the engine. i've had to abandon my car on a couple occasions due to this failure. honda service technician advised me that this is a common issue and often results in replacing the starter. i don't have a written quote, but he verbally estimated the cost to be around $1,000.

The smart entry key warning light on dashboard randomly goes on and off. i have replaced battery in key fob with same result. i am concerned because at some point vehicle may not start. vehicle was in motion and stationary at times when this occurred. has been happening for last several years.

Driver's side rear wheel bearing hub assemply failed at 66,000 miles on the odometer. this was the original honda part when i bought the car new. whirring noise was increasingly worse when i was driving, prompting me to have it evaluated by my independent mechanic where he showed me the noise made when the one wheel was turned with the car on the rack. part was replaced. the other rear bearing assembly seems ok so far. repair bill was $430. mechanics tell me this is very unusual for a wheel bearing to fail with so little miles on the car.

The catalytic converter went out on the vehicle at about 90,000 miles without warning. while the vehicle was driving about 45 mph.

As i was making a left turn all the dashboard lights turned on. i took it to autozone and they told me there is something wrong with rear tire on the passanger side

The car burns a lot of oil. 1.5 quarts from traveling 55 miles in the last week.

On 11-28-2019@ approximately 1835 hrs. my honda accord lx-automatic was involved in a multiple car accident involving 5 cars. i am concerned that the airbags did not deployed when the car was hit from the rear and pushed into the car in front. 2 impacts were felt from behind from. at this time the car is disabled and i am awaiting for esurance to evaluate my loss. i am very concern that this could have potentially been a deadly situation for myself as well as the occupants of the car. i was on the left lane traveling westbound when the car in front of me suddenly slammed on the breaks and the car from behind pushed my car into the car in front of me. the speed limit on the lie 495 westbound is 50 mph.

My 2013 honda accord burning oil, i got an oil change 4 month ago,its no oil leaks or anything my oil life is 70%. however when coming to a complete stop my oil light comes on and no oil in dipstick. now this happened four times no oil in dipstick first time in 64008 miles on 05/26/18 and the second time in 71689 miles on 01/03/19 and the third time 75000 miles 03/20/19 and fourth time 80000 miles on 07/13/19. i went to honda dealership twice to check my car and dealership say no issue and i did two engine oil consumption test first time in 64008 mile on 05/26/18 and the second time in 71689 mile on 01/03/19 and all passed and dealership say no issue. i do not want my car engine get brooking or fire. please i need help.

Starter problems: changed battery twice within 40k mileage (odometer reading) the last time they changed battery it was by honda said my battery is not good and reason because something in the electrical withdrawing power and killing the battery and after 4 days at honda dealer and charged me over $600 they could not identify the problem (they said)...in fact they said we think in the radio maybe! well after 6 months i found out the problem was not what they say but in the starter! the starter cause this issue until it finally the starter went dead! i open the starter myself and its definitely the starter causing this and i thought to bring it to your attention. honda must known about this for sure! these condition it caused when its stationary. but so much pain. you drive the car and then you park and then when start nothing, painful experiences. it happened in may occasions, since i bought the car from dealer and until december 8 that is when i open the starter and saw this to for sure its the starter problem that cause battery to die early and honda could not identify the problem at all until finally the starter wen dead. i am an engineer and confident its from the starter. i leave the matter to you to check and decided. thanks

I was driving on busy 4 lane road and was turning to the left to get in the turn lane when the steering wheel became very hard to move. i was able while struggling to make the turn. it was lucky as there was no oncoming traffic. i had the car immediately towed to the dealer and now have a $3,000 repair bill to fix the power steering. i have noticed all the complaints going back to the original year the vehicle was built and cannot believe that this problem has not caused a recall.

We bought the honda accord from the dealership brand new and took delivery 11/4/2013. on saturday 11/16/2019, with just over 40,000 miles on the car we noticed that the power steering was not functioning. it was not only hard to steer but also would continue progressing in the direction turning. we took the car back to the dealership on monday 11/18/2019 where they stated that the rack, power steering needed replace for a total cost of $2,797.49. contacted honda customer service and they refused to help. contacted the extended warranty company since the extended warranty expired 12 days earlier. they wouldn't help. this was a very dangerous failure on a vehicle that was well taken care of and has very low millage. did some research and found and article in edmunds "feds probe 2013 honda accord for power steering failure", estimate 374,000 complains about the 2013 honda accords. isn't that enough to force honda to do a recall?

After service at honda service station at rosenberg, tx... i had issues with the temperature sensor in the front of the grill, also a code showed up 2 days later, along with check engine light... when scanned it was "p0420"... was wondering if, the mechanics while cleaning, used water under pressure to clean, and during the cleaning, did they flood my exhaust... "creating business?""

This problem started two years ago and got worse in may. it all started whe we had a rough time starting the vehicle it would take up to 6 time until the car would finally start. we were told it was the battery so we changed the batter up to four time and it still kept having starting issues so then we were told it was the starter so we had it replaced and we are still having issues and now the car stalled on me while stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and it took numerous tries and it finally turned over. our local dealership had the car for 13 weeks and told us they were able to duplicate the starting issues and then told us a few days later they didnt push the button in long enough so it was there mechanics fault and then tell us they find a draw on the battery and a few days later tells us there mechanic used a faulty meter and then they blame it on our internet, smart tvs, garage door opener and wifi. i am so tired of all the excuses and need a car that's not going to leave me stranded and that i can feel safe driving the car out of town right now that's not the case. i do have several friends and family members that have had to come to my rescue to jump start my car or we have had to call a tow truck to get it to the dealership. we have had two ase certified mechanics look at it and were able to duplicate the starting issues and the battery draining and they both told us to take it to our local dealership. we have lots of video and documentation of what the car is doing and also friends that will speak on our behalf. no one will ride with me anymore in fear the car wont start or stall while stopped in a busy intersection. we started having issues two years ago but got alot worse in may of this year.

I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord. i travel about 30k a year. i have been extremely meticulous with the exterior and maintenance of the vehicle. during the course of my travels, i have on at least 4-5 occasions had difficulty changing lanes. more specific, while trying to make a lane change at low speed (5-35 mph) i was unable to turn the wheel to make a lane change. the ability to steer came back quickly, but for a second or two, a turn was not possible. this past week, on 10/30/2019, a similar scenario transpired. i was stopped at a "stop" sign and needed cross an intersection and make a left turn. just when it was time to turn, the steering wheel locked, not allowing me to turn left. as there was an oncoming vehicle, i was able slow down but struck a curb with my right front tire. the impact beat up the rim pretty bad and deflated the tire. i replaced the tire with the spare and headed to a near mechanic, about 1 mile away. the mechanic advised me not drive the vehicle. the damage included cracked rim, power steering rack and electronic steering box to name a few. in researching parts, i came across many incidents in which a 2013 honda accord has had failed steering capability. i contacted honda (case #10012315), they did not acknowledge a problem now, nor in the past and could not comment on problems that other people have had. i was told that the vehicle was old and had a lot of miles. they told me "you had an accident, why are you calling honda, you should be calling an insurance company". honda would not do anything. i expressed my regret in not purchasing a future honda vehicle... shame on honda.

Along several others, i began having the intermittent starting problems on my 2013 2.4 l accord at around 60,000 miles. this type of starter uses a solenoid to move the starter motor’s pinion gear forward to mesh with the flywheel’s ring gear while simultaneously pulling the plunger and its copper contact disc onto the battery contact and the starter motor contact to complete the circuit from the battery to the starter motor. when functioning properly, turning the ignition key or starter button should mesh starter’s pinion gear with the flywheel and turn the starter motor to crank the engine. the problem with these starters is that the battery-side contact and the battery-side of the plunger contact erode excessively due to arcing and consequent pitting. this intermittently prevents the plunger’s contact from contacting the battery-side contact to complete the circuit between the battery and starter motor. when this happens the pinion gear meshes with the flywheel but the starter motor doesn’t turn. note that the pinion gear engaging and disengaging the flywheel is the clicking sound heard from under the car during a failed start. this problem was fixed by replacing the contacts which are included in honda brush holder (honda part number: 31210-5a2-a01) which cost me $45 at my local honda dealer. i believe 2013 through 2017 2.4 l accords use this part which suggests that they will, or are, experiencing the intermittent starting problem. one would think honda would have had a recall to fix this problem.

The car looses its steering control. when stationary (and driving), if i take my hands off the steering, it automatically steers all the way to the left. it sometimes resets the problem when the car is restarted or when it is turned all the way to the right, the problem occurs again shortly. i took it to the dealership but like others, i only got a big bill of $2800.

Paint is flackying from car. visible areas that can be seeing where paint is peeling away and primer is exposed. i have asked if i could drive car in or send pictures to ensure that this is not do to lack of care. my vehicle looks and runs excellent. large areas of peeling paint that can easily be seen.i have made several attempts at contacting both the dealership and american honda, yet i have had no success at a resolution.

I was driving on the highway with my wife, mother in-law and my two years daughter and all of a sudden the steering wheel became very hard and steering light came on. i was very concerned about my family and myself because we were on the highway! i took the nearest exit it was very dificult to control the car. i stopped the to check my phone on what could be the cause? this seems to be a serious problem that happened to many people before and had reported it to the nhtsa. but nothing was done! i care for my family' safety and i will hold the nhtsa responsible if anything happens to me or my family due to this issue.this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed by honda.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving at an unknown speed, the forward collision avoidance warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to john eagle honda of houston (18787 northwest fwy, houston, tx 77065, (281) 528-1165) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle stability assist modulator needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 118,000. the vin was not available.

Sometimes my 2013 honda accord car won’t start immediately. it was stationary. i have to wait a minute after the first few tries. it a starter issue. it not the battery i purchase a new battery and i i’m still having the same problem.

Repeated ignition system failure on 2013 honda accord v6 touring with push button start that left my daughter and me stranded on a night when it was only 13 degrees above zero. push button start only resulted in a grinding noise, no attempt to engage flywheel to start the engine. starter has been replaced twice and the torque converter once (at the recommendation of the dealer to fix this issue) with the same resulting grinding noise and failure of the engine to start. this issue has been reported to honda corporation many times; it is a poorly engineered and faulty design that they refuse to acknowledge and cannot fix.

I purchased new a 2013 honda accord 4 cyl in august 2013 which had the battery sensor replaced at 26,010 miles in october 2017. shortly thereafter, i started experiencing an intermittent starting problem. when i turn the key, the dash lights turn on as normal, but the engine does not turn over or even crank. while this does not happen all the time, it happens frequently and it can take between 2-6 tries before it finally starts at home or anywhere i traveled. aaa jumped me once too. dealer said to switch keys as it may be the immobilizer sensor in my key. then december 2018 at 32,935 miles, dealer recommended i replace the battery which i did, but issue continued, july 2019 at 36,555 miles, dealer performed diagnostics stating the starter was bad but there wasn't a recall and it's more than 36 months so out of warranty. dealer does not apply the cost of the diagnostics against the repair. total cost for diagnostics, starter and tax was $889.47. plus the dealer sold me a refurbished starter with a 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty stating a new starter only carries a 12 month warranty. almost $1k is a lot of money for one repair for a senior citizen for a car with 36k miles. appears this is a common issue so honda motor co should recall the starter and provide reimbursement to those who had to have it replaced to avoid being stranded.

We are a collision repair facility in oregon scotties autobody this vehicle has a broken steering shaft in the column that appears to be defective metal . i dont know if this is a random problem but i believe it should be inspected . this broken shaft causes 100% loss of steering

Takata recall my complaint is about abs pump anti-lock brake part modulator assembly sedan cvt fits 13 accord 503036 the lights are on in the dashboard and in the dealer told me to replace that part.

Takata recall. nothing has been resolved. additionally, vtc actuator. honda has repaired accord's from 2008-2012 but not 2013-2016 which have the same issue. various forums and my own vehicle has the issue. i have videos and sound to prove the same issue that honda is repairing on accord's from 2008-2012 on the service bulletin. the vehicle is stationary. when turning on the vehicle, the vehicle starts with a loud start-up and sometimes when the weather is really cold, the engine won't start. honda does have a recall for the same issue but for older cars.

The car is having starter issues. randomly will start and then won't. there are thousands of complaints about this on the internet. same make and model, same issue. the system or starters are obviously defective and should be recalled. this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time for us- at least a year or more.

2013 honda accord is failing to start. push starter button and it will not start, then again and will not start, then again and it will start. beginning to occur more frequently. have a new battery and checked alternator and everything fine.the car was stationary at the time i was trying to start it.

I own a 2013 (bought new) with 45000 miles on it. the starter went out and the torque converter needs replaced as well. it a beautiful car and its way to soon to be having these issues. the car won't start and makes a grinding noise.

Rearview camera screen is black when i put car in reverse

Key-less access control unit is very unreliable. the push button start does not always engage. this makes starting the car a variable time event and not suitable for moving the car in an emergency situation. the problem was well known by honda and presumably fixed in some 2013's. honda service bulletin 13-038 told honda service departments to replace the module as a warranty repair. they cut this off at vin dl002124, but the problem continues. streetsboro ohio honda tells me they can order the part but they want over $600 to repair this design flaw. i purchased the car in december of 2013 and was unaware of the issue for a long time. i thought the car was just hard to start. i mentioned it to a service man at bedford honda at the time, but the car started up for him several times in a row so i just lived with it. it's now much worse.

I think this might be my 3rd complaint, i love honda and have had honda cars for years, but this has really tested my patience. for the last 4 years i have gone through 3 starters and 2 alternators, every time i contact honda they tell me to drop the car off so they can test it, i pay them $130 so they can tell me what they already know. my problem is that starter issue is very common, and there is no long term fix for this issue. so the issue is back, i end up getting stranded in places for hours at a time, and sometimes even end up being late to work, due to my starter spinning away until i can get it to catch eventually. i took it to get appraised the other day, and it wouldn't start ofcourse, the dealer refused to look at the vehicle ofcourse, because no one wants to sell a lemon. at this point, i am either looking for honda to buy my car off me, replace it, or come up with a permanent fix. if you go on youtube and type in honda starter issue you will find plenty of videos, and i also have reciepts for all the trips my car took to the dealer. i am not going to install a 4th starter, that is that rediculouse, i refuse to go to a honda dealership again for them to tell me what i already know.

Car stalls going thru intersections which i complained about when i bought it in ft .myers in 2013. i have paperwork that says nothing is wrong with it however, this has happened numerous times over the years. so far, i am lucky not to be hit! brakes locked up while driving on 7/15/19 , i started to turn into a driveway and the brakes locked and i had to veer onto their lawn on an embankment, ran over a cement parking block and throw it into park and turn it off in order to stop the car from hitting anyone! the car was towed from prospect ave and brady street in milwaukee wi. russ darrow honda ran a safety check and said it was fine. i think they should check the vsa modulator. abra auto repair in glendale had it towed and said they couldn't duplicate it and sent it to russ darrow honda. clearly, something is wrong with it! i have a fl drivers license and i am in wi now for the summer, which is where this happened. i have pictures but i don't know how to upload them to your site?

The vehicle was parked and stationary, once it was turned on the (eps) electrical power system light was displayed on the dash. steering wheel was then difficult to move or turn. the indicator was constant from that point.

My 16 year old son was driving my 2013 honda accord when the power steering failed. he was in motion on a county highway, traveling approximately 45 mph. he just came off an access road and had veered to the right to merge into on-coming traffic. the vehicle has less than 38k miles. the wheel jerked to the right and took great effort to center the vehicle and continue to a stop. he turned off the car and called me. stated it was still driveable and drove home, but continued to have to accommodate for steering wheel jerking to the right and circulating out of control when let go. i drove the car upon his return and experienced same issue. taking vehicle to honda dealership for diagnostic check.

The white paint has begun peeling in the rain channel of the back glass. i am uncertain if this affects the integrity of the back glass. the primer is exposed in several places.

When turning my steering wheel while driving my engine shuts down and restarts. when this happens my steering wheel locks up

When i turn key ignition car doesnt start, i have to turn key back and forth for it to start

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while driving unknown speeds, the vehicle stalled and there was an abnormal burning odor emerging from the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to flow honda (2600 peters creek pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27127, (336) 785-3380)where transmission fluid was added and the battery was jumped. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 126,005.

While sitting at a stop light on city street with hands on steering wheel, something jerked it to the left and i had no power steering, i got over steering manually into a parking lot. i turned ignition off and back on and it started working properly again.

2013 accord did not start and make a click sound. honda dealer not able to figure out the actual problem. battery, starter replaced but did not resolve the issue.

Vehicle would occasionally not start. when pressing the button, a static noise is heard. the starter is spinning, but not engaging with the torque gear. the starter motor has been replaced three times but the result is the same. these start issues are a daily occurrence. the only way it starts is if i shift to neutral and try. occasionally that doesn't work and i have to shift back to park and try to start it there.

Vehicle became extremely difficult and almost impossible to steer for no reason. took it to the honda dealership where i purchased it and was told there is no safety recall. there are almost 400,000 complaints i’ve noticed and i’m wondering why there hasn’t been a recall. i had 3 of my children with me at the time and i feel extremely fortunate that our vehicle did not crash and there were no injuries. does someone need to die before this is considered serious enough for a recall?

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while the vehicle was parked, the contact had to depress the start button multiple times to start the ignition. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact associated the failure with technical service bulletin number: 16-002. the vehicle was taken to walser honda (located at 14800 buck hill rd, burnsville, mn 55306, (952) 388-2231), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000.

Honda refuses to take responsibility for defective torque converters problem. the car will not start (major safety issue) or as they put it in the tsb starter grinds. there is probably only a small amount of defective torque converters that may or may not issue a recall

When driving the car it would turn easy to the right but turn hard to the left. we took it in to a dealership and they reprogrammed the neutral sensor because it lost its programming they say. the car drove good for a couple of days, but it started doing the same thing as before, but on the opposite side and started jerking to the left and over steering with out warning. we took it back to the same dealership and they now said it needed the whole steering rack replaced for $2300. however, there is an extended warranty on this problem that states this problem is covered and honda is supposed to pay for all cost associated with this problem. as stated above the problem got worse after it came back from the dealership.the service bulletin # is 15-056 which is the eps torque sensor which they said needed to be reprogrammed, which made the steering good only for a couple of days. with that said i am not sure how the eps torque sensor is not a defect covered under the extended warranty? the honda dealership as well as honda incorp. claims this problem is not related to the torque sensor. the dealership and honda says the power steering gear box assembly needs to be replaced. the extended warranty bulleting says the power steering gear box assembly needs to be replaced and that honda is to pay for it.

Hen attempting to start engine of parked vehicle, nothing happened when key was turned. took several attempts to start car each time.

Engine knocks on start up, knocks only on first start up or when sitting for long periods of time, after that no knock'

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and all the warning indicators illuminated. the contact also stated that the vehicle took ten minutes before it started. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but a failure code could not be found. the vehicle was later taken to another independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer due to diagnostic and repair fees. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

While backing out of a residential driveway onto a busy neighborhood street, the steering wheel locked up and the steering malfunction warning light came on. i attempted to steer the vehicle but the electronic power steering(eps) was countering the steering effort. i tried multiple times to restart the vehicle in hopes to regain steering control, but the vehicle would not operate properly. the only way i was able to regain steering control was with the car off and in neutral, meaning i had no ability to accelerate to maneuver the vehicle from oncoming traffic, relying only on the momentum of the sloped road to help guide the vehicle safely away from traffic lanes. i had the vehicle towed the the dealer the next morning. service adviser looked up vehicle history and the recall for eps controller software had already been performed 2 years prior. honda had extended the warranty on the rack and pinion system due to known torque sensor failure issues. adviser said if, obd scan shows fault code relating to torque sensor failure, honda would cover complete cost to replace entire rack and pinion system. hours later, adviser contacts me and says the scan shows that it was not the the torque sensor that failed, but the electronic power steering computer failed and needed to be replaced at my cost. i argued that there was no possible way for the consumer to prevent such an issue from occurring, and the fact that a computer system controlling the steering failed while i was operating the vehicle is an alarming safety issue that american honda should look into and i should not have to bear the burden of paying for such a repair. vehicle has 83,100 miles, original owner and all scheduled maintenance performed at same dealer. never had prior steering issues and was never advised of any potential issues. honda sympathetically only agreed to cover half the repair cost.

On 4/12/2019, i was driving home from work at around 24:00 (midnight) on freeway 22 westbound near the block that i suddenly realized i lost control of my steering wheel while i was traveling at 70mph plus. the steering wheel icon light up on my dashboard. this happened so fast at a curve area of the freeway, i turned on my emergency light and slowed the car down by hitting the break. there were around 4 cars to my right when this happened. fortunately, i was able to safely reach the exit lane to the right due to the curvature of the freeway turning left by going straight. as i slowed down the car on the exit lane, i yanked the steering wheel very hard to the left then right to maneuver the car to stay in the lane. after i exited the freeway on haster street, i yanked the steering wheel very hard to the right to make the turn and found a small street then come to a stop. at this time, the steering wheel icon still illuminated on my dashboard. i turned of the car after put it to park then turned it back on and the icon disappeared. i got control of steering wheel back. i proceeded to garden grove street heading west toward my home. at the first red light on garden grove, i stopped and did not steer the wheel. again, the steering wheel locked on me again. the icon appeared again on my dashboard. i again turned off and on the car and the icon disappeared and i had my control back. from there, i drove slowly in the right lane to my home. this time, there was no problem. on 4/13/2019, which is today, i dropped off my car at honda world dealer on 13600 beach blvd, westminster, ca 92683 and told one of the reps about the problem. he did the inquiry on my car and system showed there was a recall of eps gearbox replacement at this dealership. i hope nhtsa will take this serious and help people like me. it's extremely dangerous to drive with no control of the steering wheel.

Starter is malfunctioning. grinds at first and typically starts on second or third attempt.

When pushing start button the engine would make a grinding screeching noise. at 34,000 miles starter was replaced. now at 70,000 miles same noise is coming again from engine. seems to be a common issue with v6 models. there is a service bulletin 16-002 for this issue however after addressing the issue once already it seems to be a reoccurring issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the starter was malfunctioning. when the contact pressed the start button, the engine would not crank. after a few attempts, the engine finally started. pensacola honda (6675 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505, (800) 747-3966) stated that the warranty expired 24 days ago and they could not fund the repairs. the manufacturer also stated that the warranty expired. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to have the starter replaced. the failure mileage was 50,000.

Vehicle only has 77,000 and seems to turn off on it own , lights on the vehicle stays on but when trying to turn on the vehicle it wont turn on

Push button start is not responding on a regular basis. when button is pushed,the battery is activated and all lights and radio are operational, however the car does not start. battery has been tested and all connections seem to be working properly. v6 models of this car have had a service bulletin 16-002 issued for starter, however my car is a four cylinder and therefore not eligible to be looked at under service bulletin.. issue can happen after several starts during the day, after sitting in cold or garage. it does not seem to make a difference whether the car has been running or not. car has 102,000 miles on it, and is in good condition. there are many complaints online regarding this same situation with my model, seems as though it is the exact same issue as with the v6. this is an ongoing and random issue. i have never been unable to start the car after several tries, but not sure if this luck will end soon.

On wednesday, april 3, 2019 we made a 600 mile trip from cookeville, tn to shelby township, mi with no problems noted. the next morning, backing out of the driveway i noticed the steering was normal at one point, i rotated the wheel to the right and the wheel continued turning by itself while the car was not even in motion. i rotated the wheel to the left and met with resistance. i rotated the wheel to the right and the wheel started turning by itself. i then noticed the eps light was on. i continued to rotate the wheel back and forth. i got to the center positioned and the wheel then turned rapidly to the right by itself . i immediately decided to take the car to the nearest honda dealer. on the way there the wheel violently turned to the right and nearly caused me to run into the curb at 35 mph.i then arrived at jim riehl honda in sterling heights , michigan. they diagnosed the problem as a "position sensor". they related to me that they had downloaded the software and this seemed to have cleared the problem. while driving back to my next destination (10 miles) the original problem resurfaced. i called the dealership service department, which was closed. i left a message that i was bringing the car in monday morning, april 8, 2019.

The visor on the driver side suddenly popped and now it keeps falling, impairing visibility. this appears to be an issue with other honda's and if that's the case, you need to investigate this and put a recall on it because not only is it annoying, but it is a hazard that most definitely impairs driving. please look into this!!!

Starter stopped working.

The battery sensor has gaps which could lead to a fire or other dangerous complications. the car often doesn’t start. there have been recalls on this make/model/year but not this vin.

In early 2019, after my honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, i began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 honda accord. sometimes, my car starts right away. but more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature. when repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, i hear a 'clicking' type noise when i press the start button, but my car does not turn over. after several attempts pushing the 'start' button, my car eventually starts (sometimes after a few seconds and a few attempts, sometimes after many attempts and two or three minutes). the problem occurs randomly, when the car is cold and warm. i never experienced this problem until honda replaced the water pump on my car earlier this year. based on other web posts, this sounds like a common problem with the push button start feature in 2013 honda accords. once my car starts, it runs well. at this present time, i have no other mechanical problems other than the push button start feature. however, my car's failure to start is a safety issue in itself if a car fails to start in a situation where a quick get away is necessary (for example, flood, wild fire, or other natural or other disaster that may require that my car start without delay).

March 2019 drove car to gym without incident. car wouldn’t start an hour later. aaa came and the tech’s tools indicated battery had sufficient power. tech tried multiple times to start car and got it to run. he advised me to take it to shop to get starter fixed. i drove it home instead and the car worked fine for a month. one morning it didn’t start again. i tried to start it again two weeks later and it was fine. the next day it didn’t. finally in july 2019 i called for a tow. aaa came, jumped the car and advised me to drive directly to shop. at shop, determined it was just a dead battery. replaced it today. at 120000 miles and in the span of 6 years, this is the third battery.

Keyless push button start works intermittently to start car - sometimes takes 10 tries to crank; battery is good

Push button starter doesn't work nearly every day. today july 9 2019 it wouldn't start 3 times. everything freezes (steering, brake) but all lights light up. there are 1,000's of people that this is happening too... so far only when starting.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. after starting the vehicle, the traction control and power steering indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to wetzel honda (3505 chester blvd, richmond, in) where a steering service update was performed per an extended warranty program. after retrieving the vehicle from the dealer, the power steering immediately malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn. the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 99,000.

Battery drains often. have changed the battery twice & i believe i will have to change it again. i believe it's the charging system for the battery

Starter failure described in honda's tsb 16-002. car exhibited a grinding noise upon trying to start. it would fail to start. this was an intermittent problem. honda finally replaced the starter but was unwilling to warranty the known problem. a year later i am having the same problem.

Having problems with starting the car at times. it started when on a road trip. we were an hour out from home, had been driving for approximately 2.5 hours. we stopped at a rest area to use the facilities, came back to the car and it wouldn't start, it tried turning over but did not. we received a boost and it started right up. this happens intermittently with no warning. i have been stranded on several occasions. the car was checked out and i was told that the battery, alternator and starter were all fine. i actually drive with a jump starter in the car so that i won't be stranded. it is frustrating to not know what is wrong.

The car has a push button start. sometimes the starter on the car does not work properly. at times, the car fails to start for 5 to 10 minutes and indicates that the starter system is not not working properly. it also indicates that the power is still on. even after the ignition is off, the power is still on. on june 27, 2019, i had to pay $773.84 to replace the starter. this problem has been going on for months. the car only has 51,562 miles. the problem started before 50,000 miles but happened infrequently. over the months, the problem grew worse. now the car may not start in the evening but starts immediately the next morning. getting stranded is a definite risk. the danville honda dealership in virginia said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing a lot of them. there are also discussions on-line about the problem - community talk. therefore, honda should replace the starters free of charge.

Push button start does not function properly. the car is unpredictable because it frequently fails to start when i push the engine button. sometimes it starts on the first try, but i am frequently left trying to crank the car for 5 to 10 minutes. one day it would not start at all but started immediately the next morning. this problem has existed for months and the car has approximately 52,000 miles. i read on “community talk” that other honda owners are experiencing the same issue. on june 27, 2019, i had to pay over $773.84 to replace the starter. the dealership in danville, va. said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing all of them.

In august of 2018 i brought my vehicle into balise honda in west springfield, massachusetts with a loss of power steering during operation on a highway. they worked on the vehicle and reported no recalls for loss of power steering. when i picked up the vehicle, i regained power steering. on june 5, 2019, i lost the power steering again during operation of the motor vehicle on a city street. i successfully drove the vehicle home without power steering and it continued into june 6, 2019. please help me understand why accidents have occurred due to the loss of power steering in the 2013 honda accord and no recalls have been issued? this safety issue cannot continue...

On fri sept 29th, 2017 i had an sua (sudden unintended acceleration) in my 2013 honda accord that devastated part of an office building and wrecked my car. i was in a parking lot and backed up, hit a 3 foot high concrete bollard, was annoyed, put the car in drive, felt an odd lurch as though the bumper was stuck on something although it was not. i put my foot on the accelerator and at that moment the car rapidly accelerated to what felt like 30 or 40 miles an hour. i tried to brake but it felt as though there was no pressure under my foot. i gripped the steering wheel in terror and steered the car away from other parked cars and into a concrete wheelchair ramp with rails and an office building. the air bag went off. the concrete ramp and office building stopped the car in its tracks. i put it in park and got out. i’m doing ok but mostly very very grateful i didn’t hurt or kill anyone. minor airbag burn on my arm and a contusion to my knee. i feel the airbag only came out a little and hit my left arm, not the rest of my body. but i could be wrong about that. i’m glad because as a physical therapist i’ve seen some nasty air bag injuries. also i did not have my seat belt on because i often put it on as i leave a parking lot. not a good idea, but also no nasty seat belt injury. just stiff arms, painful left knee and neck, a few days later. i realize everyone is going to say i had the foot on the accelerator but i was at a dead stop when i put the car in drive to accelerate and seriously, after almost 40 years of driving, i have never felt anything like this terror and loss of control. the policeman who came to the scene would testify to the fact that i was completely sane and sober at the time. today, we heard the car will be appraised as totaled. i have driven and loved my hondas since 1991 but no more, and i would hate to think this car would be fixed and resold.

2013 honda accord caught on fire in our complex on sunday 6/9/2019. the car was stationary for about 4 hours prior to the vehicle catching on fire. we were called by our neighbor that the car was on fire just before 4pm that day. when we got back, the fire department had just put out the fire. a police report was also filed. the car is also is part of an active recall for the battery sensor. we received 2 notices (august 2017/feb 2019) and i was told each time that the car was not part of the recall. i have filed a claim with my insurance company along with opened up a case with honda. i also filed a consumer complaint against honda for a defective car. no one was in the car at the time it caught on fire but the vehicle is a total loss as it destroyed the entire front end of the car. my insurance company along with honda will be sending out their fire inspectors to identify the origin of the fire to determine liability.

In 2018 my battery went dead and the lines were corroded. battery was replaced. 3 months ago my car started to not start randomly. all lights on dash lit up, starter making noise as if it is starting, car doesn't start. this was about once a week but is now up to ten times a week. i looked it up online where others reported the same problem, said put it in neutral and it will start (true) and that hondas were having trouble with connection to batteries. said step one was to change out sensor until part became available to fix this problem and to contact recall with vin number to get vehicle fixed. i had a recall on a sensor a couple of years ago and took car in for same and had work done--not sure if this is same problem or not, but as i was able to look the exact problem up online with explanation and solution how to circumvent problem i expected to see a recall about this. please advise what my next step is. thank you.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while the key was in the ignition, the vehicle stalled without warning. after twenty minutes, the vehicle returned to normal. the vehicle was towed by aaa to balise honda of west warwick (509 quaker ln, west warwick, ri 02893, (401) 822-2000) to be diagnosed, but no failure was found. the failure recurred. the dealer installed a new battery and starter. the manufacturer was notified and did not assist. the failure mileage was 100,000.

While cornering, the vehicle suddenly became very difficult to steer and did not right itself coming out of the corner. over the next several days, the steering occasionally failed. no warning lights came on and when honda tested the car, no torque sensor failures were noted. on that basis, honda declined to apply their extended warranty covering the failed steering. honda was not interested in pursuing the failure to see if it might improve their knowledge of a known problem with this model's steering. honda claimed that the failure was rare and that there was no information out there to determine whether the vehicle would be safely drivable without repair. they could not assure me that the failure was just a loss of power steering, of something more dangerous. it wasn't until after i paid for the repair, that i found numerous similar complaints online.

The ignition switch didn’t work well only a few years after i purchase the new car (2013 honda accord). the factory must have a recall!

2013 honda accord. consumer writes in regard to power steering failure while driving. *as the consumer stated the dealer found the steering gear box to be the cause of the failure and needed to be replaced. the consumer was also concerned about the warranty for the steering assembly. *js

Having problems starting the car, keep saying check charge system. went to mechanics they said there was a recall for the battery sensor, went to the dealer and change the sensor but still saying check charge system. put the key in everything light but wont start the car. every now and then it works fine but some days it take time for the car to start.

A few days after the recall work was completed the car would not start when i pressed the start button. it went into accessory mode instead of starting. every day since then it has intermittently started after several attempts. it sometimes requires four, five or more attempts to start the engine. we replaced the battery on may 4, 2019. the intermittent starts continue. i found several internet sites that list other 2013 honda accord owners experiencing the same problem with no positive solutions.

My 2013 accords steering just stopped working when i was driving the car on 1/12/19, i am lucky that i wasn't going very fast, i was driving on a city street. also glad that i was able to get it to the side of the road, to get it out of the way. how can this not be a recall??

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. while the contact was at the doctor's office, she was alerted that her vehicle was on fire in the parking lot. the contact was unsure if a police report was filed. the fire department extinguished the fire. the vehicle was towed to the local police department. the contact's insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled after the police inspection. there were no injuries. the manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. the cause of the failure was not determined. the vin was unknown. *tt consumer stated she received a recall for a battery part that could cause fire. consumer took the vehicle for an oil change to honda dealer but part was not replaced. consumer states while in the doctors office, car started a fire in the parking lot. fire was extensive but manufacturer claims it is not their problem.*jb

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. while driving at an unknown speed, an abnormal noise was heard under the hood of the vehicle. the contact noticed smoke and fire coming from the front of the vehicle. the fire department extinguished the fire. a fire report was filed. the fire department stated that the battery exploded, which caused the failure. there were no injuries. the vehicle was towed to an auto collision lot. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Vehicle has excessive oil consumption which has caused the vehicle to run out of oil in between oil changes. this has now damaged other vehicle parts like catalytic converter.

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.

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.

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.

Starter is bad will not start brought car to a mechanic. he recommended me to get a new starter. checked battery and alternator well within working parameters.

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!!)

Bought this car at the end of its 3 year warranty 2 years ago. i immediately had to have the starter and battery replaced (09/16). car began not starting when the push button is engaged, starter was replaced again in (03/18). now in september the car began taking 5 or 6 presses of the start button to start. dealer replaced the battery (09/18). one week later the problem began again and the starter was replaced again (10/18).

I was in a parking lot trying to park my car in a spot on the right side. as i pressed the accelerator at a normal pressure, the car just started accelerating and did not stop. i first slightly hit a car which had just pulled out of a parking spot. i tried to use the brakes multiple times and tried to shift gears to make anything happen which could help stop the car. it was out of control and in order to avoid a cliff, i veered to the right after passing about 30 parked cars and hit an embankment with a tree on it. my car crashed into a parked lexus suv which then was lifted and moved to the right and hit another parked car. the air bags came out and the car stopped. my wife and i and other people could have died if there were any pedestrians in the parking lot. we both have many life threatening injuries and cannot drive due to those for a long time. in addition we are now quite frightened. the car was completely out of control and i could not stop it.

While driving at about 40 miles per hour the power steering stopped working. in october 2016 i had the same problem and the repair was done as per warranty extention 15-056. the car had 51693 miles. i now have 75000 mile on the vehicle and the the same problem occurred 2 times within about 20 minutes. i read a report that the nhtsa determined that the problem was decreasing in frequency and that the problem was with early equipment that had been repaired. obviously this is not the case.

Multiple times, while driving, my power steering will go out and it becomes very difficult for me to turn the wheel. i had to pull over while on the highway and restart my 2013 honda accord to temporarily fix the issue. this only happens while i am driving.

I had about 3 to 4 times that the car doesn't start at first time this year. those times, i had to try four or five times. now i think of it it started to happen after replacing the recalled part, battery sensor on 3/23/2018. on 9/10/2018, i tried so many time to start the car but had to towed to honda dealer to take a look. next day, i was told the starter needed the starter replacement costing $850, and my car only has 35600 miles on it.

Intermittent starting problems. car has new battery and alternator is good. please see same complaints online. one time i drove home from work for about 15 miles, turned off car in the driveway, tried to start the car and wont start.

I had pulled into a parking stop and stopped. i was about to reverse to park straight when my car shot forward. the brakes were not working and the car accelerated forward until it was stopped by a brick column. i was in a parking lot in front of a retail strip center.

Safecar. gov/vin and nhtsa, and www. vehicle history. com all indicate recall #ja9, 7/8/13, nhtsa campaign 13v297000. local honda dealership claims this was completed, but will not provide documentation. is there any other way to get the date and confirmation of the repair? used accord purchased 8/13/18. vin#[xxx]. vehicle seems to be using excess gas. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Faulty starter: has been an issue for more than a year. increasingly, it has taken more than one time to start the car. at times it has taken more than 8 times pushing the "push-to-start" button to get the car to start. based on my research this has been a know issue for honda for more than 2 years, but they have yet to issue a recall to remedy the problem. it cost me ~$650 to replace the starter.

While driving, the power steering light illuminated and i lost power steering. luckily i was driving locally so gain control of vehicle quickly.

While driving, the power steering fails and becomes difficult to steer. the power steering warning light illuminates when this occurs. this condition has occurred at least 10 separate times in the last month and once was on the freeway traveling at 75 mph and another while traveling at 50 mph, both of which caused me to nearly lose control as i was changing lanes. all other instances occurred while making slow speed turns. shutting off the vehicle and restarting usually reset the system but last friday the steering failed again and has not been able to reset, going on 5 days now. this issue is dangerous and has been diagnosed at the local honda dealer as a faulty power steering rack unit. i have researched this concern and have found several other vehicles have exhibited the same problem.

Eps light came on. was very difficult to steer. first time happened 09/05/2018, second time- 09/06/2018. just had a recall work done re: battery on 08/30/2018. could it be related? i see many other complaints regarding the same issue. shouldn't there be a recall? looks like there were accidents caused by this problem. i took the car to the shop yesterday, paid $160- nothing was found wrong. i feel unsafe driving like this. please respond. https://www.aboutlawsuits.com/honda-accord-power-steering-problems-nhtsa-73811/

"takata recall". (long term exposure to high heat and humidity can cause these airbags to explode when deployed) my horn located in the steering wheel constantly blares when exposed to high heat while in motion on city streets and highways and stationary. this issue comes and goes and the dealership "honda world" located in downey, ca. refuses to inspect the issue. they tell me the probelm needs to occur for them to inspect the issue. since i bought the car in 05/2016 this issue only occures in the summer time not the winter which tells me it's being caused by heat. because the airbag is also located in the steering wheel this issue needs to be inspected asap. i have videos on my cell phone camera as proof.

Electric power steering malfunction light came on could barely turn the wheel, the first time it happened was running about 40 mph and again it happened was running at 50 mph and going into a curve and the third time my speed was 55 mph all three times this has happened i was on a highway. the first time i had just got off the interstate. if you are where you can pull off the road and turn the vehicle off and start it again the steering is fine. seems this should be a recall as researching on the internet i'm not the only one with this issue. places i need to go is usually on the interstate and running 60 to 70 mph is scary not know when this may happen again. i did see on the internet where 2 accidents has occurred from this issue and thank goodness there were no injuries. i have called honda headquarters and they act like they don't know what i am talking about and had a record that i had called in regarding this issue. so does it take someone being seriously injured or killed before this is looked at. i was told to replace the electric power steering gear. i asked about the software upgrade that i had read about and also regarding hoses that were getting hot causing this. all the dealerships know is it will cost more than $2000 for a new steering gear. this shouldn't happen in the first place. i know parts go bad and if this is an issue with other vehicles maybe due to this being dangerous driving auto makers may go back to steering fluid and do away with electric power steering. please check on a recall issue. this has happened 3 times 08/10/2018 and twice on 08/12/2018. i am at the point i am afraid to drive the car no matter the speed and especially on certain roads. thank you

While driving, without any warning, the power steering cuts out. after shutting the car down it the steering works. i was on a highway & had close call accidents trying to pull over. it has now happened 4 times in 5 days. the vehicle has under 50,000 miles

Car clicks before starting, cuts off while driving, steering locks when car cuts off. i drive a considerable amount of time on the freeway with my family. this is a very dangerous situation to the lives of myself, family and other drivers on the road. this is a daily occurrence. speed varies when this happens. sometimes it occurs from a cold or warmed start.

The steering wheels automatically become stiffer and hard to turn right or left while driving.it takes a lot of muscling to keep it under control before an accident occurs. this is the second time this incident occurred.my car has got 84000 miles on it and regularly serviced and maintained. the next day it happened it became normal as usual with no repairs. i understood later that there is no power steering fluid and this function is electrically controlled! from online, google search indicated several of the honda customers owning the same car model ear has experienced the same problems with the steering wheel. this situation is very dangerous especially in highway exits and entrances where car drives in over 50-60 miles.it can create life threatening accidents if not corrected. dealers could not diagnose the problem and do not have the capability to fix it and might cost a future. i would like honda to recall this car and fix it immediately before another emergency situation, accident or threts to safety and life.

Vehicle was parked on gravel parking area. when vehicle was started the eps warning light came on. the steering wheel acted frozen and was not able to be turn left or right even with significate force and attempted movement forward or in reverse. stop vehicle and followed instructions in vehicle manual. when restarting vehicle warning light did not display and steering was normal. vehicle was taken in for diagnostics and eps unit was replaced. vehicle has 70,533.

Push button start is acting up. at times when you push button to start the car it only clicks, after a few tries the car will start. i have seen several complaints on this. honda has admitted to an issue with the v6 model but not the v4 model that is having the same issue

My airbag light is on in my 2013 honda accord and i'm not sure if this has anything to do with the takata recall. my car was just sitting in the drive way the next morning i came out and the airbag light was on and won't go away now.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start upon turning the key in the ignition. the vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. the manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact to have the failure diagnosed by a dealer. the approximate failure mileage was 41,000.

So just like all the other complaints, my car won't start every time i hit the starter button. after i press it it makes a really loud whining sound, i am currently on my 3rd replacement starter, and 2nd alternator. i think it's crazy, after all these complains everywhere that nothing has been done. i gave honda the benefit of the doubt, because of their history of reliability, but this is too much. i need a new starter too actually so starter #4 here i come. this is a serious issue.

Honda accord recall nhtsa recall number17v-418 called local honda service center, honda city in bethpage ny. they stated the don't have the parts for the recall and don't expect to get them for a couple of months. please advise.

The humming noise on and off randomly in recent days ( 06/06/2018 ), sometimes very loud like a motorcycle roaring beside the car. most of the noise happen around 40-70 mph while driving on highway ( louder ) and city ( humming ). my 2013 honda accord is around 70000 +/- miles, replace new tires at around 63000 miles, and regular maintenance at dealer, thus not the tires problem. don't know where the noise come from. many drivers indicate the same problems when surf online complains, and maybe some safety issue to worry.

Honda used a bad starter when making the 2013 accord. they also put the exhaust manifold right over it. so the starter fails right as the warranty expires on your car. i know i’m not the only one to have this happen. the car will not start. the starter is garbage. it should not have failed this soon.

We turned right out of a parking lot onto a busy city street and got down to the light. as we turned the steering wheel to the right and before pushing the accelerator the steering wheel became extremely hard to turn. it was extremely hard to turn the steering wheel left or right. it was very hard to control the steering wheel at this point as we are trying to find another parking lot to turn into so we could try and figure out what was going on. we looked around the car to make sure nothing visible was wrong and didnt see anything so we turned the engine off and sat there for a bit and then turned the engine back on. once we turned the engine back on the steering was fine. we decided to look online and see if anyone else had experienced these problem and seen many have. if we turn the steering wheel right or left while at a complete stop the steering wheel becomes hard to turn but if you turn the engine off then back on it works again. i'm hoping the manufacturer can recall the problem and fix it beings there are many complaints of this particular problem.

Trouble starting car. changing battery did not help.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the start button had to be pushed several times before the engine would finally start. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sunset honda, 12250 los soso valley rd, luis obispo, ca) where it was diagnosed that the starter was faulty and needed to be replaced and the torque converter needed to be rotated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the contact was informed by the dealer that the manufacturer's tsb number: 16-002 was for the same failure. the failure mileage was 34,000.

My accord has 38769 miles on it, has always been serviced be a honda dealer, and recalls have been fixed. since the battery sensor was fixed december, 2017 my push start will not always start my car and there is no indicator light to show anything is wrong. the dealer wants to charge me to diagnose my car. i notified honda, they assigned a case number and referred back to dealer. i have googled this problem and it seems that several 2013 and 2014's have this problem just after warranty expired. would you please investigate? these starters are dangerous. when i purchased the car in 2013 and was coming up a snow covered drive my car quit and i slid backward because i could not restart car without using the brake. i complained to honda then, they opened a case, then nothing. i told them then that i was sliding backward and could have gone over an embankment.. they just closed that case when i called about current problems. i will never own another honda.

I have a 2013 honda accord 2013 with 75,000 miles on it. for the past few moth i’ve been having problem with the starter. the car will turn on, but after a few tries. i brought the car to the honda dealer and they confirmed there was a problem with the starter. i did not replaced it because i did extensive research and found out that there are too many customers with the same complaint and it’s not fair for some that only have a few thousand miles on their cars for them to be paying over $800 for car defect that honda knows that many of their vehicles should already have a recall.

When try to start my car and press push button it wont startjust gives me sound klic klic

Starter problem all my lights , radio ac windows work but won't crank up. called local dealer and was told sounds like a starter problem and will have to have it towed to dealer. with only 56k on it i have never had a starter fail in such a short time. it must be true japanese cars not as reliable as once thought to be.

Push button stair tee has repeatedly not worked. the power goes on, many icons light up, and when i push the button to turn it off, "power is on" message appears. the power stays on; i cannot turn it off. the fob battery is fine, the "battery management sensor" recall has been done, and it still happens. at least six times in the recent past this has happened and then after i leave it alone a while, it has started. today it started after i waited an hour which was really difficult as i was out of cell phone reception areas. i am taking it in monday. i hope it starts or i will have to have it towed. i see there are hundreds of similar complaints. isn't it about time for a recall? see previous complaints for analysis of the problem with the ignition/starter that should be fixed by honda.
