2013 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase of the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 100,900. It was later discovered upon checking Google that the mileage was 260,000.

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 power steering suddenly doesnt work. luckily appeared and noticed upon starting the car. the dashboard sensor light appeared as well at that time. did minor troubleshooting that was suggested by articles read such as tested battery, was fine. looked for lose connections and corrosion, none seen. became aware also that this is a known problem.

Issue is intermittant, however extremely dangerous. Vehicle steers to the right until it cannot go further without any intervention with the steering wheel. Upon a right turn the vehicle will NOT return to center steering. If this is occuring vehcile will turn very quickly if your hands come off the steeering wheel for any amount of time.

My Honda Accord is now difficult to drive due to tendency of steering wheel to cycle to the right at sporadic or random intervals. On more than three occasions, simply starting the car resulted in the steering wheel spinning to the right more than one full turn on it's own without my touching the steering wheel. The uncontrolled steering is more prevalent at lower speeds under 25 or 30 MPH and is even more challenging in close parking situations. Although I have driven the car without this problem for approximately 8 years, with the sudden onset of issues last month, the Honda dealer claims this recall is not covered on my VIN number due to the car being repossessed from the former owner who inflicted significant interior damage which totaled the car. By the time I purchased the car the interior was in pristine and newly repaired condition with a salvage title. To my knowledge and experience the car has never been involved in any wreck. Dealer would like approx. $4600 from me to make the repairs to the electronic steering gearbox which would normally be covered under the current recall (which expires next year for my 2013).

No Start condition. Car takes minutes to start due to faulty push button start. This is a well documented condition by the public. The safety concern is that repeated attempts to start will drain the battery and cause degradation of the starter, which in case of an emergency or an occupant in an unsafe environment, or on a public roadway, puts the driver, occupants at risk. Honda is well aware of this problem but rejects any liability.

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 help soon.

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

Started car and dashboard light came on then off showing steering wheel and exclamation point. Then re-started and drove normally. A few days later, when starting the steering wheel unable was unable to be turned. Dashboard light show steering wheel and exclamation point. Required towing. Dealer determined diagnostic code DTC 34-05 Power Relay Stuck OFF I found multiple reports of power steering failure in this model Honda Accord 2013. Since there is no RECALL, it should be an extended warranty until next year. I’m asking if the power relay is covered by the extended warranty. Is there going to be a recall since this is so dangerous?
