2013 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

STEERING WHEEL TURNS TO RIGHT WHEN CAR IS STARTED...CAR STEERING ON ITS OWN...VERY DANGEROUS!

ALL THE LIGHTS ARE BASICALLY ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX WHICH INCLUDES THE BRAKE, ABS, TPS. I NOTICED THAT EVEN WHEN I HAVE NOT PRESSED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED BY THE CAR. EXPECIALLY IN LOW/IDLE SPEEDS. THIS RESULTS IN ME HABVING TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND RESULTS IN A ROUGH RIDE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TODAY 4/1/2021. DEALER STATES THE CAR HAS A FAULTY VSA MODULATOR AND QUOTED $1400 FOR THE PART (57110-T2FA17) AND $510 FOR THE LABOR. ALSO SAID THE THEY NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKE FLUID AND REPLACE IT. AND THIS SAME PART WAS REPLACED BACK ON 11/5/2014. THIS CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY ACTIVE RECALL, BUT THE VSA MODULATOR HAS NOW FAILED TWICE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 4/20/2013. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS HONDA RECALLED SEVERAL OTHER MODELS AND YEARS FOR THE VSA MODULATOR. I HAVE ATTACHED SOME OF OTHER RECALLS THAT AFFECTED THE VSA MODULATOR

MY CHMSL LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AFTER 108,220 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY QUOTED $258.99 FOR PARTS AND $500.00 FOR LABOR TO REPLACE THE HIGH MOUNT 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO GET THE CAR FIXED WHO TOLD ME THAT FACTORY-INSTALLED LED CHMSL HAD ITS QUICK CONNECTOR WITHOUT A STOP TAB THEREFORE THE WIRE WAS PULLED OUT FROM THE QUICK CONNECTOR. I HAD TO PAY $250.00 FOR TOTAL REPAIRS TO REPLACE LED CHMSL. THE MECHANIC ALSO MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THE PART WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE INTENTIONALLY AS IT HAD SOME PERMANENT MARKINGS ON THE LED FIXTURE. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE LED FIXTURE WAS FUNCTIONAL EXCEPT FOR THE DEFECTIVE LOCKING TAB FOR THE CONNECTOR. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE QUALITY CONTROL AND MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

BASICALLY, MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I DON'T FEEL THAT MY STARTER SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT 36,000 MILES... I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 9 MONTHS.. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS TOO.. BASICALLY TOTALLING $640. IN PARTS AND 360. IN LABOR.. I BOUGHT IT DIRECTLY FROM THE DEALERSHIP.. IT HAS THE PUSH BUTTON START AND IT PUT OUT A 'GRINDING SOUND' WHEN I WENT TO START IT, THEN THE FRONT BAKES STARTED SQUEAKING ALSO..

THESE 2013 EARTH DREAMS HONDA ENGINES NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH BAD PISTON RINGS IN THIS ENGINES THAT CAUSE OVER EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH CAN LEAD UP TO ENGINE SEIZURE. HONDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WHICH IS AFFECTING MANY 2013 OWNERS. MECHANICS HAVE MADE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE STATING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO GET THESE ENGINES RECALLED SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND UPWARDS OF 5000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES WHEN THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BY HONDA. YOU NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES.

2013 HONDA ACCORD ACCORD WITH 81K MILES IS BURNING OIL ABOUT 1QUART 1000 MILES.

2013 HONDA ACCORD V6EXL STARTER MAKES GRINDING NOISE WHEN BEING STARTED. SOMETIMES TAKES MULTIPLE TRYS TO FINALLY TURN OVER AND START ENGINE. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. ONLY OFFERED TO REPLACE ENTIRE STARTER SYSTEM FOR $900.

STEERING RACK/ PINION : CARS STEERING WHEEL JUST RANDOMLY TURNING ON ITS OWN TO THE LEFT AND BECOME HARD TO STEER WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEED

THIS IS TO INFORM YOU I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 2/20/2021 WITH MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ONE WEEK PRIOR BASED ON THE RECALL LETTER RECEIVED FROM YOUR OFFICE. I WAS WAS PHYSICALLY THERE, I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE ADVISOR THAT THEY RAN OUT OF PARTS. NO FUTURE APPOINTMENT WERE MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP. NOT SURE WHAT IS MEANS BUT THIS WAS WRITTEN UNDER COMMENTS :DA212407, FROM THE "COMPLIMENTARY MULTI POINT INSPECTION" FORM. PERSONAL ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO LEAVE MY CAR BASED ON MY CONVENIENCE; THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE VERY ICY AND TREACHEROUS TO GET THERE; MY RIDE BACK HOME WAS WAITING IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF CHECKING IN MY CAR AND LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THEN I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES (YVONNE) THEY COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE ME. IN ADDITION, I CALLED YOUR VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE YESTERDAY 2//02/20/2021 TO REPORT THIS BUT YOUR OFFICE WAS CLOSED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I EXPERIENCED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION WITH THIS MATTER.

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.
