2013 Honda Accord Engine

HEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE OF PARKED VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN KEY WAS TURNED. TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START CAR EACH TIME.

ENGINE KNOCKS ON START UP, KNOCKS ONLY ON FIRST START UP OR WHEN SITTING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, AFTER THAT NO KNOCK'

VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS HAS NOW DAMAGED OTHER VEHICLE PARTS LIKE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

TAKATA RECALL STARTER MOTOR (MITSUBA) (V6) STARTER GRINDS OR SPIN AT STARTUP

HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER AS IT STARTED GOING OUT WITH JUST OVER 51,000 MILES ON THE CAR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR WITH THE PUSH BUTTON, ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME THE ENGINE DOES NOT START, THERE IS A NOISE LIKE STATIC. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2013 ACCORD. 99.9% OF THE TIME THEY HAVE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE STARTER AT $800. HONDA SHOULD STEP UP AND RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE CAR DOES NOT START. THIS REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK OIL AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE OF PARKED VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN KEY WAS TURNED. TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START CAR EACH TIME. STARTER HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED.

SINCE LAST FALL, ENGINE DOES START ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES OF PUSHING THE BUTTON. LATELY WE NEED A LOT MORE TRIES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS ON FILE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS THE STARTER.

AT 5 YEARS OLD MY HONDA ACCORD WILL NOW ONLY START ON THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL POWER ON BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME SEVERAL TIMES/MINUTES TO START. I HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY $176 & NOW THE KEY FOBS TOO AND THIS STILL OCCURRED. THIS HAS 411,000 RESULTS IF GOOGLED. THIS IS VERY COMMON ALTHOUGH HONDA CONTINUES TO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!

I HAVE BEEN MONITERING MY OIL LEVEL CONSUMPTION AND FOR ABOUT 3 DIFFERENT OIL CHANGES (6200-6400 MILE INTERVALS). MY DASH SHOWS 40% OIL LIFE REMAINING BUT WHEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK THERE IS NO OIL ON IT AT ALL. IT'S BONE DRY. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OR LEAKS EITHER. THE CAR IS BURNING THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN ASKED HONDA THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR OR MY OF OTHER HONDA. AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON UNTIL I APPLY THE BRAKES HARDER THAN USUAL.

STARTER IS BAD WILL NOT START BROUGHT CAR TO A MECHANIC. HE RECOMMENDED ME TO GET A NEW STARTER. CHECKED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WELL WITHIN WORKING PARAMETERS.

THE STARTER INTERMITTENTLY GRINDS/SPINS WHEN STARTING, REPLACED STARTER AND PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO THE PROBLEM ON LINE.HAVE LOCATED HONDA'S SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 16-002 BUT HONDA CLAIMS MY VIN NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

SINCE I HAD THE CAR WHEN I PUSHED THE START BUTTON THE CAR MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND WOULD NOT START. I FIGURED IT WAS THE STARTER AND DEALT WITH IT. I RECENTLY HAD MY BRAKES FIXED AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FLY WHEEL. I LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. THERE IF OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PART. THE SERVICE BULLITN WAS ISSUED IN 2013 SO MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY. I BOUGHT 2 2013 HONDAS I'M HOPING HONDA WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. I HAVE AN APPT MONDAY AT THE DEALER [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STARTER FAILED, AND WE WERE STRANDED AT THE NEW MARKET POST OFFICE FOR AN HOUR. THE BATTERY IS GOOD, BUT HONDA MECHANIC SAID THE STARTER IS FAILING. WE REPLACED THE STARTER ENGINE, AND THE CAR STARTS UP GOOD EVERY TIME. IT COST $515 TO REPLACE STARTER ENGINE. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR DEFECT, BECAUSE THE CAR IS PAST WARRANTY.

I GOT NO WARNING AND THE CAR WOULD START AND THEN DIE. I LOOKED ON THE NET AND THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER HONDA'S. I HAD RUN AN ERRAND AND WASN'T GONE LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES.-

VTC HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS BAD AGAIN, NO FIX FROM HONDA THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 2 YEARS NOW AND CANT GET ANY ANSWERS TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. BEING PUT OFF MONTHLY AS THE ENGINE GETS LOUDER BY THE WEEK

WHEN TRYING TO START, IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND, DOESN'T TURN OVER AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER. REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT DIDN'T HELP. SOMETIMES, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT MAY START, BUT NOT USUALLY. WENT ON "HONDA BLOG" AND FOUND SEVERAL SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. SOME BELIEVE IT MAY BE A STARTER DEFECT.

TL-CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD..... INTERMITTENT STARTING IGNITION PROBLEMS..... CONTACT CALLED HONDA AND HONDA STATED VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS... CONTACT HAD CALLED HONDA EARLIER TODAY REGARDING GENERAL RECALLS.... CB

BOUGHT 2013 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN SPORT ON 06/13. I JUST REACHED THE 32000MILES AND MY STARTER IS SLIPPING AND CAUSING ME TO TURN THE IGNITION A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A FAULT ON THE PRODUCT OR INSTALLATION OF PART.

THIS IS CAR HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT AND USES ABOUT 1QT OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES! I CURRENLTY HAVE 40% LEFT ON MY OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW! VERY EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION!! SO DISAPPOINTED IN MY FIRST HONDA.

MY CARE IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. OIL LIGHT WARNING DOES NOT COME ON.

INTERMITTENTLY, MAYBE 30-50 TIMES IN TOTAL IN THE 112K MILES I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR, WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE START BUTTON, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, BUT THE STARTER DOES NOT TURN. THERE A NOISE OF AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH TURNING IN THE DASH, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS THE STARTER SOLENOID. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I'VE READ OF A BRAKE SWITCH NOT TELLING THE STARTER IT WAS OKAY TO START, BUT HAVEN'T CHECKED THAT. I'VE READ HONDA REPLACING THE STARTER, BUT I HAVEN'T DONE THAT. SOME POSTS SAY REPLACE THE START SWITCH.

INTERMITTENTLY CAR STARTS WITH STARTER CLICK NOISE ALMOST EVERYDAY ON BOTH COLD AND HOT WEATHER. BATTERY REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND GETTING WORSE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION: I HAVE A 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH 74,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE ACCORD ENGINE HAS STARTED USING OIL. AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE THERE WAS ONLY 1 QUART OF OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE. CONSUMPTION TESTING DID NOT SHOW 1 QUART/1,000 MILES SO NOTHING WAS DONE BY HONDA. BETWEEN 2,000 AND 3,000 MILES OF THE CONSUMPTION TEST OIL WAS CONSUMED AT A RATE OF 1 QUART OR MORE PER 1,000 MILES. HONDA STILL DID NOTHING. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT NO WHERE. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL HONDA'S SINCE 1987 BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER BECAUSE OF THIS WILLINGNESS TO DO NOTHING. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY TIME I STOPPED FOR GAS.
