2013 HONDA ACCORD Engine Problems

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.

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...

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...

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.

HEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE OF PARKED VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN KEY WAS TURNED. TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START CAR EACH TIME.

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

ENGINE KNOCKS ON START UP, KNOCKS ONLY ON FIRST START UP OR WHEN SITTING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, AFTER THAT NO KNOCK'

UPON START UP, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. FCW FAILURE NOTED ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY. ACCELERATION NON EXISTENT IN THIS STATE. SEVERAL RESTARTS (34 WAS THE MAX), NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH. CAR RAN FINE. DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A TIMING CHAIN THAT HAD EXPANDED. SEEMS TO BE FIXED. (ONLY BEEN TWO DAYS). I THINK IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LACK OF POWER COULD MANIFEST ITSELF AT ANY TIME. IMAGINE GETTING ON A HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER TO ACCELERATE.

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

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.

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.

TWO NIGHTS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 BACK HOME FROM WORK , I WAS GOING SPEED LIMIT 70-75 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED "BOGGING DOWN", DIDN'T WANT TO GO ABOVE 30 MPH AND A NUMBER OF DASH LIGHTS WERE ON: SERVICE ENGINE, POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE AND MAYBE TRACTION CONTROL. I TURN OFF THE CAR, TURN IT BACK ON, AND THE LIGHTS STILL ON. I DRIVE SHORT DISTANCE HOME AT 25-30 MPH. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I LOOKED AT THE CAR, DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG I FELTED VERY UNSAFE FROM CAR SUDDENLY SLOW IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY I-75 GOING FROM 70-75 MPH TO 25-30 MPH, THIS HAPPENED WITH OUT ANY WARNING OR ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER THE SHOULDER, DEFINITELY A BAD ACCIDENT WOULD HAPPENED HERE.

TAKATA RECALL STARTER MOTOR (MITSUBA) (V6) STARTER GRINDS OR SPIN AT STARTUP

HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER AS IT STARTED GOING OUT WITH JUST OVER 51,000 MILES ON THE CAR

I HAVE 2013 ACCORD LX 55K MILES, AND HAD INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM FROM LAST FEW MONTHS, DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S COLD OR HOT, SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESN'T START. I LEAVE IT ALONT FOR ABOUT A MIN OR TWO WITH KEY OUT AND THEN IT'LL START, SOMETIMES LONGER. BATTERY IS NOT THE PROBLEM AND I'VE ALREADY TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE BATTERY AND THE STARTING SYSTEM. CHECKED OUT OK, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? NOW IT WON'T START AT ALL. I FOUND THE RECALL IS FOR V6 MODELS ONLY. WHAT SHOULD I DO AT THIS POINT?

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE OF PARKED VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN KEY WAS TURNED. TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START CAR EACH TIME. STARTER HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR WITH THE PUSH BUTTON, ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME THE ENGINE DOES NOT START, THERE IS A NOISE LIKE STATIC. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2013 ACCORD. 99.9% OF THE TIME THEY HAVE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE STARTER AT $800. HONDA SHOULD STEP UP AND RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE CAR DOES NOT START. THIS REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

SINCE LAST FALL, ENGINE DOES START ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES OF PUSHING THE BUTTON. LATELY WE NEED A LOT MORE TRIES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS ON FILE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS THE STARTER.

AT 5 YEARS OLD MY HONDA ACCORD WILL NOW ONLY START ON THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL POWER ON BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME SEVERAL TIMES/MINUTES TO START. I HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY $176 & NOW THE KEY FOBS TOO AND THIS STILL OCCURRED. THIS HAS 411,000 RESULTS IF GOOGLED. THIS IS VERY COMMON ALTHOUGH HONDA CONTINUES TO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!

I HAVE BEEN MONITERING MY OIL LEVEL CONSUMPTION AND FOR ABOUT 3 DIFFERENT OIL CHANGES (6200-6400 MILE INTERVALS). MY DASH SHOWS 40% OIL LIFE REMAINING BUT WHEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK THERE IS NO OIL ON IT AT ALL. IT'S BONE DRY. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OR LEAKS EITHER. THE CAR IS BURNING THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN ASKED HONDA THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR OR MY OF OTHER HONDA. AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON UNTIL I APPLY THE BRAKES HARDER THAN USUAL.

EARLY FAILURE OF STARTER. THE STARTER FAILED WITHIN 5 YEARS OF PURCHASE (NEW CAR) WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE 46K MILES. I COULD NOT START MY ENGINE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK OIL AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

SINCE I HAD THE CAR WHEN I PUSHED THE START BUTTON THE CAR MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND WOULD NOT START. I FIGURED IT WAS THE STARTER AND DEALT WITH IT. I RECENTLY HAD MY BRAKES FIXED AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FLY WHEEL. I LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. THERE IF OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PART. THE SERVICE BULLITN WAS ISSUED IN 2013 SO MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY. I BOUGHT 2 2013 HONDAS I'M HOPING HONDA WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. I HAVE AN APPT MONDAY AT THE DEALER [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE STARTER INTERMITTENTLY GRINDS/SPINS WHEN STARTING, REPLACED STARTER AND PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO THE PROBLEM ON LINE.HAVE LOCATED HONDA'S SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 16-002 BUT HONDA CLAIMS MY VIN NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

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

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.

TROUBLE STARTING CAR. CHANGING BATTERY DID NOT HELP.

VTC HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS BAD AGAIN, NO FIX FROM HONDA THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 2 YEARS NOW AND CANT GET ANY ANSWERS TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. BEING PUT OFF MONTHLY AS THE ENGINE GETS LOUDER BY THE WEEK

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

I GOT NO WARNING AND THE CAR WOULD START AND THEN DIE. I LOOKED ON THE NET AND THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER HONDA'S. I HAD RUN AN ERRAND AND WASN'T GONE LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES.-

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL-CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD..... INTERMITTENT STARTING IGNITION PROBLEMS..... CONTACT CALLED HONDA AND HONDA STATED VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS... CONTACT HAD CALLED HONDA EARLIER TODAY REGARDING GENERAL RECALLS.... CB

BOUGHT 2013 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN SPORT ON 06/13. I JUST REACHED THE 32000MILES AND MY STARTER IS SLIPPING AND CAUSING ME TO TURN THE IGNITION A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A FAULT ON THE PRODUCT OR INSTALLATION OF PART.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT EXPERIENCED ENGINE STARTING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES IT TOOK 3 OR 4 TIMES TO TURN THE KEY TO GET THE CAR STARTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUNNYVALE HONDA DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE STARTER PROBLEM. IT COSTS ME $936 TO REPLACE THE STARTER INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MY CAR IS ONLY ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 40K MILEAGE HAVING THE STARTER ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHAT A SHAME WITH THE HONDA BRAND!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEALING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (LUTE RILEY HONDA, 1331 N CENTRAL EXPY, RICHARDSON, TX 75080) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

AT TIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED. IT WILL START ON THE SECOND TURN. ON 11/17/2017 , IT DID NOT START ON THE SECOND TRY. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK . THE DRIVER ARRIVED AND AFTER TURNING THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES , THE CAR STARTED. HE STATED THAT IT IS THE STARTER AND TO HAVE IT CHECKED.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH INTERMITTENT STARTING AROUND 45,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE STARTER PROBLEM, BUT CHARGED ME OVER $800 TO REPAIR IT WITH A NEW STARTER BUTTON. I WAS TOLD WITHOUT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD GET WORSE TILL THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD OF MY HONDA AND I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. I DIDNT KNOW WHY THIS WAS SO I CHANGED THE OIL FAST TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGING. NOW 1400 MILES AFTER MY OIL CHANGE THE ENGINE IS HALF WAY DRY OF OIL. MY CAR IS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 42000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL.

CAR CAUGHT FIRE STARTING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, IN LEFT TURN LANE, WHEN SMOKE WAS FIRST NOTICED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND FIRE PROGRESSED IN A FEW MINUTES TO WHERE FLAMES WERE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LOCAL FIRE COMPANY EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. CAR APPEARS TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 17V-418 WAS ONLY RECENTLY RECEIVED AND HAD NOT YET GOTTEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER.

THIS IS CAR HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT AND USES ABOUT 1QT OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES! I CURRENLTY HAVE 40% LEFT ON MY OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW! VERY EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION!! SO DISAPPOINTED IN MY FIRST HONDA.

INTERMITTENTLY CAR STARTS WITH STARTER CLICK NOISE ALMOST EVERYDAY ON BOTH COLD AND HOT WEATHER. BATTERY REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND GETTING WORSE.

MY CAR IS 2013 ACCORD BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM GARDENA HONDA AND NO OTHER MECHANIC TOUCHED IT. SINCE 2013, I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR AT THE SAME LOCATION. MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE HOWEVER, ONCE I RECEIVED THE BATTERY RECALL LETTER I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR INTO GARDENA HONDA. PLEASE NOTE MY CAR STILL HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. AUGUST 2017 I WENT TO GET MY CAR CHECKED FOR THE BATTERY RECALL THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT THEY APPLIED KONSHI BOND TO PROTECT BMS. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER WORK MY CAR DID NOT START (STATIONARY). CHECK ENGINE WAS ON, CHECK STEERING LIGHT ON & TRACTION LIGHT ON PLUS LOW PRESSURE ON. I IMMEDIATELY FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO IT. HONDA SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THAT NOW...

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.

MY CARE IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. OIL LIGHT WARNING DOES NOT COME ON.

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.

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.

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.

STARTER PROBLEMS, CAR STARTS THEN DOES NOT START, STATIONARY
