TO BEGIN WITH I'VE HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY ATLEAST 4 TIMES(ONE TIME IT EXPLODED WITH BATTERY ACID)IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. ALSO 6 DIFFERENT LIGHTS IN THE PANEL ARE ON(BRAKE/ABS/TIRE PRESSURE/A STEERING WHEEL WITH AN !/MAINTENANCE/POWER STEERING. I RECENTLY PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM FIRESTONE AND GOT THE CAR ALIGNED THE MECHANIC SAID HE TRIED TO RESET THE NOTIFICATION ON THE DASHBOARD BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. I ALSO HAD A FAMILY MECHANIC PUT IT UNDER THE COMPUTER WHICH DIAGNOSED AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ANOTHER ISSUE THE CAR IS HAVING IS IT SHORT CIRCUITS MY HEAD LIGHTS WHEN IT RAIN, WHICH MEANS I'M REPLACING THEM ALMOST MONTHLY. THE CAR TENDS TO SHAKE WHEN ITS STOPPED BUT ONLY IF THE AC IS ON. SO IN CONCLUSION AFTER READING THIS RECALL IN CREDIT KARMA I AM SURE MY CAR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING MODEL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATES IT IS NO LONGER A EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION. THE PROBLEM IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND/OR A SUDDEN INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT AND DEALER IDENTIFIED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACEMENT FOR A TOTAL OF $2100.00. FOR A "NEW" CAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD BE HONDA'S FIX NOT THE COSTUMER.

CAR WAS IN DRIVE OF HOME, STARTED CAR AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON. WOULD NOT CLEAR. DROVE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, BRAKES WERE BARLEY OPERABLE, CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND POWER STEERING ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. DEALERSHIP FIRST REPLACED THE BATTERY, CLEARING THE CODES FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE NEXT DAY THEY ARE REPLACING A BAD VSA MODULE THAT CONTROL THE ABS AND OTHER SAFETY FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR. THE ACCORD ONLY HAS 67K MILES AND THESE SENSORS ARE 1700 PLUS DOLLARS. RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND A GREAT DEAL OF THESE FAILING -USUALLY WHEN THE HONDA IS IN MOTION. I WAS FORTUNATE MINE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING (29,262 MILES) WILL NOT CRANK NOR START. THERE HAS BEEN NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS/WARNINGS, JUST WOULDN'T START ONE MORNING. IT'S PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB ALTHOUGH THE OTHER ONE WAS WORKING TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WHEN I PRESS IT THE CAR UNLOCKS AS NORMAL. THE INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE DIRECTIONS OF HOW TO START THE CAR STILL SHOW. THE CAR IS IN PARK, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES & PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON. THERE IS A SLIGHT BEEPING SOUND AND A FEW LIGHTS SHOWING IN THE DASH, BUT IT WON'T START. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN THE ACCESSORY MODE COMES ON AS NORMAL. THE RADIO PLAYS, MY PHONE CONNECTS, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORKS, LIGHTS WORKS FINE, ETC. WHEN I PRESS IT ONCE TO TURN IT OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE AC COMES ON, & ALL THE PRE-PROGRAMMED WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ONE BY ONE WITH A BEEP. FINALLY I PRESS IT ONE FINAL TIME TO TURN IT OFF. SO EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, IT JUST WON'T START. THIS LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THE STARTER HAS GONE OUT LIKE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO VERIFY THAT. AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS & 29,000 MILES, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. AND I DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $700-$800 WHICH IS ESTIMATED STARTER REPLACEMENT COST.

IT SO FAR HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE THAT I NEED TO JUMP-START THE CAR. THERE PROBABLY HAS SOME ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE ISSUES OR SOMETHING RELATED TO IT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS MORE THAN A YEAR AGO THAT WHEN I CAME EARLIER TO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT WAITING FOR THE CLINIC TO OPEN, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LEFT THE CD PLAYER ON. BUT IT ONLY PLAYED FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR OR SO IT TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY DUE TO THE BATTERY POWER HAS ALREADY BEEN DEPLETED AND THE CARD COULD NOT START AT ALL THAT I HAD TO CALL AAA AFTER THE DOCTOR APPOINTMENT TO JUMP-START FOR ME. I THOUGHT AT THAT TIME IT WAS DUE TO THE CD PLAYER TOOK TOO MUCH POWER SO I DID NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. BUT THE SECOND TIME IT WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO ON SUNDAY, WHICH GIVE ME THE CONCERNS THAT THERE MUST BE SOME ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE ON MY CAR. AFTER PARKING FOR THE CHURCH MEETING AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, BOTH MY WIFE AND I DECIDED TO OPEN THE WINDOW A LITTLE BIT TO LET THE AIR FLOWS IN THE HOT WEATHER SINCE WE PARKED UNDER A COVERED PARKING AND WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT POSSIBLE RAINFALL. SO BEFORE WE OPEN THE DOORS, WE OPENED BOTH FRONT WINDOWS A VERY LITTLE BIT AND LEFT FOR THE MEETINGS. THEN ABOUT 3.5-4 HOURS LATER WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME, WE FOUND OUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AND WE HAD TO ASK FOR HELP TO JUMP-START IT AGAIN. THIS TIME IT GAVE A DEFINITE GUESS THAT THERE MUST BE SOME ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE IN THE CAR. I ALSO COMPLAINED IN EARLY JUNE OF THIS YEAR ABOUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK ISSUE. I RECEIVED A MAIL FROM HONDA TO FIX IT, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERS, NONE OF THEM EVEN OFFER LOANER CARS FOR SUCH RECALL AND MANUFACTURE FAILURE REPAIRS. HONDA IS BAD FOR THINGS LIKE THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I SHOULD PURCHASE HONDA AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I NEVER COMPLAINED ONCE FOR MY TOYOTA FOR YEARS. EVEN THEY SCHEDULE FOR MANUFACTURE RECALLS, WHICH I NEVER ENCOUNTER MYSELF, I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE LOANER CAR.

WENT FOR LUNCH, AND PARKED MY CAR ON THE STREET. AFTER FINISHING LUNCH, ABOUT HALF AN HOUR LATER, GOT INTO THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO START IT. EVERYTHING WORKED, BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF (RADIO AND AC WOULD STAY ON HOWEVER). TRIED AGAIN, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED. FOLLOWED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING, AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. TOOK KEY OUT OF IGNITION, WAITED A MINUTE, BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. THIS TIME, TURNED OFF RADIO AND AC. CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF STILL. TRIED 2-3 MORE TIMES, AND CAR FINALLY STARTED, ALL WITH A TOTAL OF 4 WARNING LIGHTS. CHECK ENGINE, TIRE PRESSURE, POWER STEERING, AND ANOTHER ONE I CANNOT RECALL. TOOK IT THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, AND WAITED 2-4HRS FOR THEM TO TELL ME, THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. THEY ADVISED IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME, SO THEY GAVE ME A FREE RENTAL UNTIL IT CAN BE FIXED.

HAD GOTTEN BACK IN MY CAR AFTER A STOP AT A RETAIL STORE. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST LIGHT WAS ON. I PULLED OVER AT ANOTHER STORE WITHIN A HALF MILE. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE TIRES FOR A POSSIBLE FLAT - NO PROBLEM. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND SAME SCENARIO WITH THE 3 LIGHTS ON. ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING BUT STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. I LOOKED IN CAR MANUAL, PAGE 6 OF HONDA TECHNOLOGY REFERENCE GUIDE, UNDER THE HEADING OF MALFUNCTION INDICATORS AND IT SAID, "IF AN INDICATOR REMAINS ON, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM; SEE YOUR DEALER". I WILL CALL MY CAR DEALER IN THE MORNING. I WANT TO STATE THAT I STILL HAD FULL CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING. I READ OF OTHERS LOSING THE POWER STEERING BUT MINE WAS OKAY. AFTER THE SECOND STOP THE 3 MALFUNCTIONING INDICATOR LIGHTS WENT OUT.

DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING (APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH) AND SQUEAKING NOISE WAS EMITTING FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. PRIOR TO THIS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT, ANTI LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, ANTI SKID WARNING LIGHT, ALL ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AT DCH HONDA, TEMECULA IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING WAS BROKEN / FALLING APART. IT WAS STATED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE BEARING WAS REPLACED AND THAT THIS WAS COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS NOTIFICATION (TECHNICAL BULLETINS, RECALLS) ON THIS ISSUE. DRIVERS BEWARE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT "PLAY" IN THE REAR WHEEL WHILE ATTACHED TO THE HUB. IF THE BEARING CAME COMPLETELY UNDONE, THE WHEEL COULD COME OFF WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE STEERING SIMPLY 'SHUT-DOWN', OR LOCKED-UP OUT OF NOWHERE. IT APPEARS THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM SIMPLY FAILED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING BY BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP IN ORDER TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT... AS THOUGH I WERE REBOOTING A CRASHED COMPUTER! THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF THREE TIMES THE NEXT DAY, ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED ON A PUBLIC STREET. WE RESOLVED TO STOP DRIVING IT, BUT BY REFLEX I TOOK IT OUT THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE DAY ONLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE RECUR TWICE, THANKFULLY NONE OF THESE FAILURES OCCURRED WHILE WE WERE EXECUTING A TURN, OTHERWISE WE MAY HAVE CRASHED INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE, AS SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS DESCRIBE. I HAVE NOW PUT THE VEHICLE INTO STORAGE UNTIL HONDA ADDRESSES THE ISSUE DEFINITIVELY, AS OTHERS DESCRIBE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSES ACROSS THE BOARD, WITH VIRTUALLY ALL ADMITTING THE ISSUE WAS UNRESOLVED, EVEN AFTER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DIAGNOSED COMPONENT(S). WHETHER I SIMPLY HAVE A LEMON, OR THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE IN THE MAKING, I DO NOT YET KNOW, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE RENDERING THE VEHICLE TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

TWO MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, THE NAVI WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE. THE NAVI WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, MARCH 3RD, THE BACK-UP CAMERA WENT DARK ON THE SCREEN; AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WORKED AGAIN. MAR 8-10TH, I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEMS. MAR 11TH, I WORKED FROM HOME; THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVED DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. THE VEHICLE KEYS REMAINED ON THE KITCHEN TABLE. TUESDAY, MAR 11TH, AT 3:00A.M. (SPOUSE MOVED HIS VEHICLE TO THE STREET) THE VEHICLE WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED. I REITERATE, THE KEYS WERE ON THE TABLE AND THE WINDOWS TO THE VEHICLE WERE ALL CLOSED. MAR 12TH, 7:00, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I NOTICED FIRST THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY ROLLED DOWN AND RAIN HAD POURED IN. WHEN I OPENED THE CAR DOOR, I WAS AMAZED TO SEE THAT ALL OF THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN AND THE SUN ROOF COMPLETELY OPEN. I'VE NEVER EVEN OPENED ALL THE WINDOWS AT THE SAME TIME SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR, ALL THE SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AND FDS FAILED WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR. I CALLED HONDA, INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS LATER INFORMED BY THE SERVICE ASSISTANT THAT BOTH BOXES (I'M GUESSING ELECTRICAL BOXES) HAD A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THEM, SHORTING OUT THE SYSTEM. HONDA IS SEEMINGLY COMFORTABLE WITH SHIFTING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, E.G., THAT I PROBABLY...LEFT THE WINDOWS OPEN, PRESSED ALL THREE BUTTONS ON THE AUTOMATIC KEY (DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD DO THIS) OR MAYBE HAD THE KEYS IN MY PURSE AND SOMETHING PUSHED ALL THREE BUTTONS SIMULTANEOUSLY. IN SHORT, THE WINDOW AS WELL AS WHO KNOWS OTHER PARTS WERE AFFECTED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
