    While driving at approximately 70 mph., my passenger side airbags suddenly deployed for no apparent reason. Thankfully no one was in passenger seat or hurt, but the excruciating noise was deafening and this put me at risk since it sounded like an explosion and zero visibility out side window. I had to pull over on side of road and puncture the bags and gain composure and visibility to continue my trip. I have called the recall center and found there were no active recalls but I see that this has been an issue in the past with other 2013 Honda Accords. I have been waiting for the caseworker to have an adjuster look at the vehicle but they are already setting me up for the denial to fix the issue and replace airbags. There were no warning lights to give a signal that this might happen. Case worker is supposed to send me to adjuster to get the vehicle inspected but 2 months have gone by. I am afraid that other airbags might deploy and cause a wreck or fatality if it impairs vision. I have to have the car to drive…and am getting zero cooperation from Honda

    So I am just driving and all these lights come on my dashboard about front collision warning failing and land departure failing and no traction control or power steering. It caused my car to slip in the rain since there is no ABS without traction control. I skid for a bit till I regained control and pulled over. This is such a common problem in this generation of cars there are 100 of YouTube videos and forums complaining about the ABS module failing this is a danger to others lives. How has this not been recalled as the brakes are so crucial?

    Problem started when leaving parking lot. The car started pulling to right. Hard to turn to left. Then the problem stop car will drive normal for a little ways then all of a sudden it will pull to right. Just took it to Honda did the recall on battery and steering to day. Car still has steering issues. It will drive normal for a little ways then all sudden pull to the right. Have to make sure to have a good grip on the steering wheel at all the time. I know if I hit a bump or turn to the right the steering issue will start most of the time. So time turn left problem goes away. But know when it will come and go. Driving 20 minutes may come and go 5 times or may stay pulling to right the hold time. I would not drive the car on interstate or high speed with this issue not safe. It probably not safe to drive at all because you never know when the car going to pull hard to the right.

    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.

    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 my car and make and model.

    No accident occurred. I just believe that the symptoms our car has are the exact same issues that caused a recall. I’m just relaying information to help set the parameters of the recall. Secondly I am curious why the service manager didn’t mention about a recall possibly concerning our car. Even though it isn’t in the window of the recall ( but shows all symptoms). Guess I’m feeling a little jaded with the way the service manager conveniently left out they didn’t have any parts for our car and they would have to order them. Anyway they knew I was driving the car home and they only had 6 hours to mess with it.

    My driver side cv axle snapped in half as I was reversing my vehicle onto my parking pad, as a result of a failure from manufacturing, the roads were treated in my area from snow we had gotten a day prior. I have always lived in a salt belt state PA and this vehicle was originally offered and sold in a salt belt state from New Jersey. NEVER had this happen to any of my vehicles, there was no warning, no dash lights anything no sounds prior to. Had I'd been driving to work I would've been killed and potentially someone else could've been seriously injured or killed! Honda needs to extend their "recall" because there are surely a lot more vehicles affected than they like to admit. My mechanic came and showed me exactly what happened the axle rod snapped right in the middle and he told me he's had to replace a countless amount of them on my same vehicle because they all break in that spot due to a manufacture failure and he told me I needed to look Into the recall!
