2013 HONDA ACCORD Engine Problems

Starter grind and not starting

2013 Honda Accord with proper Maintenance and oil changes on time burns oil since few years despite its a low mileage car with total 69000 miles. I see online a lot people facing same issues with Honda oil burning complaints in 2013 to 2017 Accords and others. But never recieved any Recall or Technical Service Bulletin from honda to get this problem addressed. In fact spoke to Honda customer service and they said we can't do anything about it as your car VIN is not from affected models. They gave me case # 166116613 but no help. I need help from NHTSA. I took my car to dealership before Christmas on December 23rd and they gave me inspection report with no signs of any kind related to engine.

Dear - NHTSA Vehicle Safety Division, I am writing to formally document my ongoing concern regarding a faulty Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module in my Honda vehicle, which I believe poses a serious safety risk. Despite contacting Honda Corporation on four separate occasions to address this issue, the company has refused to acknowledge or accept responsibility for what appears to be a recurring defect found in several Honda models produced between 2013 and 2018. The vehicle was inspected by a certified technician at a Honda dealership, who confirmed that the braking failure stemmed from a malfunction of the ABS module. The technician also acknowledged that this issue is common in Hondas from the aforementioned model years. I relayed this information to Honda directly, along with my willingness to cover part of the repair cost, but was offered no resolution or goodwill support. The replacement part alone is quoted at over...

I have a Honda accord ex sedan then driving in the rain and down pouring the car lights would flicker like no power to drive. When I stop it goes off. This has happen to me 2 times. I seen there might of been a recall on my car so I thought I would check to see. I have a [XXX] son always like to make sure I don't have an issue. Thanks INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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...

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?

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...

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...

Excessive Engine oil consumption 2-3 quarts between 5000 to 6000 oil changes. ABS Module failure causing all safety feature not working.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

starter needed to be replaced at around 84000 miles

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

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...

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...

EXCESS VIBRATION AND OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO VCM OPERATION. VCM ALSO MAKES THE TRANSMISSION SEARCH FOR GEARS WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 90,000 MILES WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 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.

THE CAR BURNS A LOT OF OIL. 1.5 QUARTS FROM TRAVELING 55 MILES IN THE LAST WEEK.

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...

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...

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...
