Starter grind and not starting
I was parking and my passenger side shaft broke
This year model and make had a recall due to ABS modulator malfunction. At the time said my car was one that was not a recall, which is strange because I have the same make and model and I took my car into the honda place for oil change back in 2024 and the ABS modulator went out. The dealership told me that was a recall on this vehicle before for the same situation. I did contact the Honda corporation explain the situation advised me that my car was not on recall for that. I have always taken my car to dealership for any maintenance work, so strange to me that same thing you can a recall on my car has that problem, but not on recall. Which is now going to cost me thousands of dollars to get fix, for something that was on recall for same year of...
VSA Modulator on Honda has failed. This is a defective part but Honda has not recalled. This is a vital safety issue and can cause brakes to lock. Honda refuses to acknowledge defect and will not replace the part free of charge.
The vehicle has a recall for drive axile still showing status as pending, We took the car to the dealer to check on that and also complained about noise during acceleration. On inspection the dealer at Valley honda, Naperville found that the drive axile is the problem. But they said it has nothing to do with the recall, it is because someone else tried to repair it. I was told it is very unsafe to drive. Still we drove it back home, I inspected the axile I could notice so must rust on the axiles and in the shaft, that they can't claim ithe rust is because of the othet repairs performed!. There was also visible fluid leak coming out of the boot area of the axile, because of the rust. The dealership is.just trying to avoid the axile repair and citing other repairs performed as an invalid reason. Please...
All lights related to Tire pressure, Sterring control, Vehicle Stability Assist and ABS comes up in dash board. The ABS control module suddenly fails because of very bad design and manufacturing (just dry solderings!). Search EBAY, one can find so many offering services to repair this failed ABS control module. For replacement ot costs 3500. This looks like is common failure. Very dangerous to drive with that failed ABS control module. Why is this not in a recall yet?
The starter in our 2013 Honda accord exl, has got repaired then about three weeks later had to get repaired again, now three more weeks later is having problems again. I looked online and a lot of people are having starter problems in their Honda accord 2013 exl, we can’t keep changing the starter it’s a lot of money
VSA Modulator failed at 106 thousand miles, replaced at dealer and it failed again after 15 thousand miles. Honda did not take any responsibility as the milage had exceeded the 12k miles warranty. They charged an additional $4,000 to repair.
In the past 2–3 months, multiple door lock actuators/latches on my 2013 Honda Accord have failed. Both rear doors will not reliably lock or unlock, and the front driver door actuator is intermittent. This means that three of the four doors cannot be secured or opened normally. This is a serious safety and security issue. The car cannot be locked to prevent theft or unauthorized entry. Children or passengers in the rear may not be able to exit safely in an emergency. I am also concerned that the failure could compromise crash safety if doors cannot be unlocked quickly after a collision. Performance Kings Honda (Cincinnati, OH) inspected the vehicle, confirmed the failures, and diagnosed both rear door latch/actuator assemblies as faulty. They provided an estimate of $1,000+ for repairs. I have an open case with American Honda. Honda acknowledges there is no recall, but this appears to be a...
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.
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
Honda Accord 2013 All Lights On ABS, Traction Control, Steering Wheel and TPMS lights
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...
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
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.
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…
abs modulator failed, cannot pass inspection. dashboard lights are all on. this is a safety issue
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Car is just randoming not starting, having to get it jumped to start it & pistons are knocking!
The paint is peeling on my 2013 Honda Accord. This seems to be an ongoing issue with the white orchid paint.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON IT DOESN'T ALWAYS START - GET A GRINDING NOISE.
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
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
REAR VIEW CAMERA GOES COMPLETELY BLACK ONLY SHOWING GUILDANCE LINES
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?
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...
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
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.
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
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.
WHEN STARTING PUSHING THE START BUTTON THE CAR WONT START UNTIL AFTER A FEW TRIES, I EVEN BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM.. I HAVE ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 77 THOUSAND MILES.. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.
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...
STARTER STOPPED WORKING.
