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

I PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA NOVEMBER OF 2013 AT ROCK HONDA IN FONTANA, CA. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS FROM THE CAR SITTING SO LONG & IT BEING SO COLD.(THIS SHOULD HAVE SENT A RED FLAG). AFTER A FEW MONTHS & THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO START. I WAS THEN STRANDED ON THE FREEWAY. I CALLED HONDA CARE. THE FIRST DRIVER CAME TO MY CAR TOOK TWO MINUTES TRIED TO START IT, SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG (AS HE WAS RUSHING & DID NOT HAVE TIME TO LOOK) HE ASKED TO USE MY PHONE CHARGER, LEFT MY HOOD UP (WHICH CAUSED DENTS IN MY HOOD FROM BEING ON THE FREEWAY WITH STRONG WINDS) & LEFT. THE SECOND DRIVER CAME & HAD TO GIVE ME A JUMP START & DO SOMETHING WITH...

SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD, THE HONDA HAS INTERMITTENT HESITATIONS AFTER STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, PARKING AND SO FORTH. FOR INSTANCE, FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST FIVE DAYS, I STOPPED, WENT INTO A STORE, RETURNED, CRANKED HONDA ACCORD, BACKED OUT, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO." IT SIMPLY "STALLED" , FEBRUARY 03, 2014. THIS WAS MENTIONED IN 2012 TO SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], AT HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER; IN MOBILE, AL, HE HAD ONE OF HIS TECHNICIANS TO TEST DRIVE MY HONDA. TECHNICIAN RETURNED AND CLAIMED, AFTER TESTING, AND TEST DRIVE, THAT HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK OTHER THAN A VERBAL ASSURANCE THAT I WAS PROBABLY JUST GETTING ADJUSTED TO THE "NEW CAR." AFTER THAT, EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO, I WOULD HAVE A "WHOLE WEEK OF INTERMITTENT" HESITATIONS AND STALLINGS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO...

I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING STUTTERING WITH MY VEHICLE WHILE ACCELERATING. BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND ISSUES BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE TECH ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT CLAIMED THEY RAN FULL DIAGNOSTICS AND ASSURED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM REPLACED. *TR

ONGOING ISSUE. SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR IN THE MORNING, OR WHEN LEAVING THE OFFICE IN THE EVENING, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GIVE IT GAS THE ENGINE REVS, RPMS GO UP, BUT THE CAR WON'T GO. I WILL ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY (IT'S ON AN INCLINE), PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. THEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL RESPOND TO ME GIVING IT GAS AND TAKE OFF. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE! I HAVE ALMOST COLLIDED WITH MY NEIGHBOR BEFORE BECAUSE OF THIS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY CAN'T CHECK IT. IF THE CAR WON'T GO, HOW CAN I TAKE IT TO THEM WHILE I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE? *TR

WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING A NEW HONDA I EXPERIENCED A 2 TO 3 SECOND HESITATION PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON A GREEN LIGHT TURNING LEFT, SO I HAD TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 3 OR 4 MPH BUT TRIED TO ACCELERATE ONCE THE WAY WAS CLEAR ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO POWER! I THEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAD STALLED. JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO TRY AND RESTART THE CAR IT KICKED IN AND I SURGED AHEAD JUST SECONDS BEFORE BEING HIT HEAD ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER. THIS TIME THE ONCOMING CAR HAD TO GO AROUND ME OR WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED. MY CAR IS NOW CLOSE TO 7...
