2013 Honda Accord Engine

I have a Honda accord ex sedan then driving in the rain and down pouring the car lights would flicker like no power to drive. When I stop it goes off. This has happen to me 2 times. I seen there might of been a recall on my car so I thought I would check to see. I have a [XXX] son always like to make sure I don't have an issue. Thanks INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Valve cover gasket leaked oil on starter which caused the starter to fail.

2013 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER PUSHING THE AUTO START BUTTON. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE RELAY BOX IN THE VEHICLE.

Ever since I bought the vehicle, there are times when I cold start that the vehicle moves slowly. And pressing the gas moves the car at 1/10th the power that I am used to. Not every time, but particularly pronounced when cold. Once it warms up and this low power goes away.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that on several occasions while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine failed to turn over. The contact stated that the engine intermittently turned over and then the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic however, the cause of the failure could not be determined due to no warning lights being illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 132,000.

Factory specification states engine capacity for engine oil is 4.4 quarts, but after replacing the oil 3 times in the 10 months I have owned the car, I have noticed the actual capacity is 5.2 quarts. At 4.4 quarts, dip stick indicates oil at below lowest mark, at 5.2 quarts, it shows right at upper mark. I have google search this fact and there are many other owners or mechanics that have stated this fact. This has caused VTC actuator to be deficient of oil lubricant and rattle loudly and eventually fail. Over all oil deficiency will cause engine to fail prematurely.

The 9th generation Honda Accord seemed to have a common issue with premature starter failure and excessive engine oil consumption. My starter failed at around 40k miles. I then noticed after a fresh oil change, and with 70% oil life remaining, my engine is bone dry with no oil and the only reason I checked was because of a low pressure warning light. I have complained to honda that this is not normal. There are no leaks whatsoever. To prevent engine damage, I have to fill in a quart of engine oil for every 1500 miles of driving. I have owned several honda's and never once had any issues like this. I even changed the pcv valve and that did not fix the issue. Honda knows about the excessive oil consumption and refused to issue a recall to replace the piston rings. Almost every 9th generation Honda Accord owner faces premature starter failure and excessive oil consumption. This is not normal and Honda is avoiding this issue and give customers like me the run around to perform compression test etc and adding engine oil for every 1000 miles of driving is normal. I have never heard of such thing unless you drive a high performance vehicle. I hope NHTSA will investigate and force Honda to issue a recall and compensate owners who had to pay out of pocket for premature starter failures.

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

Engine burns oil excessively. Following the maintenance minder oil change schedule, the oil was under the minimum. Car was at around 83000 miles. Since within 5 year dealership asked to do a oil consumption test but car would be out of 5 yr window by end of it. Eventually this issue led to catalytic converter needed to be changed at 98500 miles due to the buildup from burning oil

starter needed to be replaced at around 84000 miles

At about 40k miles since I purchased my 2013 Accord Sport 6 speed MT new, there has been premature starter failure causing me to replace the starter. In addition, the 2.4 L Earth Dreams engine consumes a quart of oil every approximately 1000 miles. I have had honda's in the past and never had to do this on a fairly new car. I also changed my PCV valve thinking it may be faulty. After doing so, I have the same issue. I even complained to Honda several times and expressed my frustration. At about 50% oil life remaining, and if the engine oil is not topped off, the dip stick to check the engine oil will be bone dry. I hope NHTSA will look into the Earth Dreams engine. This mechanic did an excellent Youtube video explaining the issue. https://youtu.be/tZ24wh6eCpE. It is time to force a Honda recall on all Earth Dreams engine before premature engine failure starts happening and Honda blaming customers for not properly maintaining the engine when it is a faulty engine to begin with.

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.

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.

ENGINE IS MAKING GRINDING/SCREECHING NOISE WHEN THE CAR STARTS, EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS JUST 65,000. HONDA DEALERSHIP DOES NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. NO RECALL YET.

I OWN A 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT, 4 CYLINDER EARTH DREAMS ENGINE WITH 65000 MILES ON IT. THERE IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND OIL BURNING IN THESE EARTH DREAMS ENGINES. THE PISTON RINGS ARE FAULTY CAUSING OIL TO BE BURNED IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. HONDA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2008-2012 AND THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING IN MY VEHICLE. PROLONGED OIL CONSUMPTION CAN SEIZE THE ENGINE DUE TO NO OIL BEING LEFT IN THE ENGINE TO LUBRICATE IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP AS THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE HAS NEVER BEEN RECTIFIED. THIS ENGINE IS BURNING 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN 2500 MILES..THERE IS BLACK SOOT AND THE END OF THE TAILPIPE, WHICH IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF OIL BURNING. HONDA BEEDA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH A RECALL TO REPLACE STUCK OR WORN PISTON OIL RINGS. REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE ARE OVER 3000 DOLLARS. THIS COST SHOULD NOT BE PASSED ON TO THE CUSTOMER DUE TO FAULTY PARTS OR FAULTY ENGINEERING

MY HONDA ACCORD 2013 HAS A BURNING OIL ISSUE. FOR EVERY 3,000MILES, MY DIPSTICK WILL ONLY HAVE 1/2 OR 1/4 FROM THE ORIGINAL TOP LEVEL. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM LAST SEPTEMBER 2018 WHEN I TO A ROAD TRIP IN FRESNO. WHEN I CHECKED MY DIPSTICK, IT HARDLY HAD ANY OIL ON THE SUPPOSED LEVEL. I DROPPED BY A GAS STATION AND POURED 1QUART OF OIL AND THE OIL LEVEL WENT UP TO 1/2 OF THE DIPSTICK. IF I DID NOT PUT OIL, THEN MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN RUNNING WITHOUT ANY OIL AND COULD JUST STOP ANY MOMENT I WAS DRIVING. I INFORMED CENTURY HONDA ON 12/01/2018 ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT. AS OF TODAY, IT APPEARS CENTURY HONDA REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

CAR HAS 52000 MILES AND CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN THE 2013 ACCORD EARTH DREAMS ENGINES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

THESE HONDA ENGINES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE OWNERS NEED HELP.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 90,000 MILES WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD BURNING OIL, I GOT AN OIL CHANGE 4 MONTH AGO,ITS NO OIL LEAKS OR ANYTHING MY OIL LIFE IS 70%. HOWEVER WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP MY OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND NO OIL IN DIPSTICK. NOW THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NO OIL IN DIPSTICK FIRST TIME IN 64008 MILES ON 05/26/18 AND THE SECOND TIME IN 71689 MILES ON 01/03/19 AND THE THIRD TIME 75000 MILES 03/20/19 AND FOURTH TIME 80000 MILES ON 07/13/19.

I DO NOT WANT MY CAR ENGINE GET BROOKING OR FIRE. PLEASE I NEED HELP.

THE CAR BURNS A LOT OF OIL. 1.5 QUARTS FROM TRAVELING 55 MILES IN THE LAST WEEK.

HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTERS PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL NOT START (MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE) OR AS THEY PUT IT IN THE TSB STARTER GRINDS. THERE IS PROBABLY ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTERS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT ISSUE A RECALL

AFTER SERVICE AT HONDA SERVICE STATION AT ROSENBERG, TX... I HAD ISSUES WITH THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE FRONT OF THE GRILL, ALSO A CODE SHOWED UP 2 DAYS LATER, ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT... WHEN SCANNED IT WAS "P0420"... WAS WONDERING IF, THE MECHANICS WHILE CLEANING, USED WATER UNDER PRESSURE TO CLEAN, AND DURING THE CLEANING, DID THEY FLOOD MY EXHAUST... "CREATING BUSINESS?""

ALONG SEVERAL OTHERS, I BEGAN HAVING THE INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS ON MY 2013 2.4 L ACCORD AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. THIS TYPE OF STARTER USES A SOLENOID TO MOVE THE STARTER MOTOR'S PINION GEAR FORWARD TO MESH WITH THE FLYWHEEL'S RING GEAR WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PULLING THE PLUNGER AND ITS COPPER CONTACT DISC ONTO THE BATTERY CONTACT AND THE STARTER MOTOR CONTACT TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT FROM THE BATTERY TO THE STARTER MOTOR. WHEN FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, TURNING THE IGNITION KEY OR STARTER BUTTON SHOULD MESH STARTER'S PINION GEAR WITH THE FLYWHEEL AND TURN THE STARTER MOTOR TO CRANK THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM WITH THESE STARTERS IS THAT THE BATTERY-SIDE CONTACT AND THE BATTERY-SIDE OF THE PLUNGER CONTACT ERODE EXCESSIVELY DUE TO ARCING AND CONSEQUENT PITTING. THIS INTERMITTENTLY PREVENTS THE PLUNGER'S CONTACT FROM CONTACTING THE BATTERY-SIDE CONTACT TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND STARTER MOTOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE PINION GEAR MESHES WITH THE FLYWHEEL BUT THE STARTER MOTOR DOESN'T TURN. NOTE THAT THE PINION GEAR ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING THE FLYWHEEL IS THE CLICKING SOUND HEARD FROM UNDER THE CAR DURING A FAILED START. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY REPLACING THE CONTACTS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN HONDA BRUSH HOLDER (HONDA PART NUMBER: 31210-5A2-A01) WHICH COST ME $45 AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. I BELIEVE 2013 THROUGH 2017 2.4 L ACCORDS USE THIS PART WHICH SUGGESTS THAT THEY WILL, OR ARE, EXPERIENCING THE INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM. ONE WOULD THINK HONDA WOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN I TURN KEY IGNITION CAR DOESNT START, I HAVE TO TURN KEY BACK AND FORTH FOR IT TO START
