2013 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY JERKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STEER OUT OF CONTROL, WHAT I DO IS GRIP THE WHEEL TIGHTLY AND I'M ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL. IT'S NOT OFTEN BUT IT'S HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS TO DRAW CONCERN. IT'S ALWAYS WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING COMPLETELY AND VEHICLE OPERATOR COULD BARELY STEER THE VEHICLE. WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT AND THE DRIVER SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD BUT WAS NOT INJURED. WE HAD TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. IT COST US 2,500 DOLLARS TO GET FIXED. HONDA HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING UNIT STEERING RACK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR BUT WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF OUR OWN POCKETS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE FRONT PANEL THAT INDICATE FLAT TIRED, HAND BRAKE, ABS, AIR PRESSURE, ETC ARE ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WENT TO THE RIGHT AND WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF BRIDGEWATER (1201 US-22, BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP, NJ 08807 (908) 722-5566) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000. INVALID VIN.

I HAVE CHANGED MY CARS BATTERY YEARLY SINCE 2016. IT ALWAYS HAVE A STARTING ISSUE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE CHANGED 4 BATTERIES AND THE ISSUE IS STILL COMING EVERY YEAR. LAST TIME WAS HAPPENED IN A PARK WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS. FORTUNATELY, MY SPEED WAS ONLY 20 MPH AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND CANNOT START. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I THINK THE BATTERY OF ACCORD HAS SOME PROBLEMS AS I ALWAYS CHANGE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY FROM THE DEALER. MY OTHER CARS ONLY NEED TO CHANGE BATTERY AFTER 4 TO 5 YEARS OF USE BUT MY ACCORD NEED TO CHANGE A NEW BATTERY EVERY YEAR. THERE MUST BE SOME ISSUES OF THE CAR IT SELF. IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD BE REALLY DANGEROUS.

MY CAR IS FACING NO STARTING ISSUES SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE DONE EVERY SINGLE MAINTAINANCE ON TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS A BULLETIN 19-034 AND NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENED IN A SMALL PARK AND I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOW. THERE IS ALWAYS SOME STARTING ISSUES OF MY HONDA ACCORD SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES EVERY YEAR. SOMETIMES THE DEALER ASK ME TO CHANGE BATTERY AND SOMETIMES THE DEALER AKSED ME TO CHANGE ALL KINDS OF FLUIDS. I HAVE CHANGED EVERY SINGLE FLUIDS, PCV VALVE, BRAKE PADS AND ROLLTERS IN THE CAR ALMOST YEARLY AND THE NO START ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. I FEEL IT TAKES ME TOO MUCH TIME AND COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR IS TOO MUCH. ALSO, IF THE TURNOFF HAPPEND ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM HESITATE TO TAKE MY KIDS IN THE CAR SINCE THE PROBLEM. VERY ANNOYING. ALSO, THE SOFTWARE PROBLEM SHOULD BE SOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER FREE BUT THEY ARE CHARGING ME EVERY SINGLE TIME.

EXCESS VIBRATION AND OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO VCM OPERATION. VCM ALSO MAKES THE TRANSMISSION SEARCH FOR GEARS WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED

ENGINE CONTINUES TO BURN OIL INTERNALLY. HONDA DEALER TELLS ME THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT ACURA HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. OIL FAN HUMMING, ENGINE OVERHEATING. PARKED BEFORE ENGINE LOCKED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE BATTERY AND THE ELECTRONIC STARTER WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

HONDA ACCORD SPORT 2013 I4 CVT. CV AXLES ARE CORRODED DUE TO FAILING PAINT FINISH. THIS CORROSION GETS INSIDE THE RUBBER RESONATOR(DONUT LOOKING PIECE), AFFECTING THE INTEGRITY OF THE AXLE. HONDA HAS RECALLED THESE AXLES IN OTHER STATES, BUT NOT IN UTAH. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN DENIED BY HONDA ON REPLACING AXLES PER THE RECALL.
