Car stalls going thru intersections which I complained about when I bought it in ft.myers in 2013. I have paperwork that says nothing is wrong with it however, this has happened numerous times over the years. So far, I am lucky not to be hit! brakes locked up while driving on 7/15/19, I started to turn into a driveway and the brakes locked and I had to veer onto their lawn on an embankment, ran over a cement parking block and throw it into park and turn it off in order to stop the car from hitting anyone! the car was towed from prospect ave and brady street in milwaukee wi. Russ darrow Honda ran a safety check and said it was fine. I think they should check the vsa modulator. Abra auto repair in glendale had it towed and said they couldn't duplicate it and sent it to russ darrow Honda. Clearly, something is wrong with it! I have a fl drivers license and I am in wi now for the summer, which is where this happened. I have pictures but I don't know how to upload them to your site?

In early 2019, after my Honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, I began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 Honda Accord. Sometimes, my car starts right away. But more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature. When repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, I hear a 'clicking' type noise when I press the start button, but my car does not turn over. After several attempts pushing the 'start' button, my car eventually starts (sometimes after a few seconds and a few attempts, sometimes after many attempts and two or three minutes). The problem occurs randomly, when the car is cold and warm. I never experienced this problem until Honda replaced the water pump on my car earlier this year. Based on other web posts, this sounds like a common problem with the push button start feature in 2013 Honda Accord. Once my car starts, it runs well. At this present time, I have no other mechanical problems other than the push button start feature. However, my car's failure to start is a safety issue in itself if a car fails to start in a situation where a quick get away is necessary (for example, flood, wild fire, or other natural or other disaster that may require that my car start without delay).

I had pulled into a parking stop and stopped. I was about to reverse to park straight when my car shot forward. The brakes were not working and the car accelerated forward until it was stopped by a brick column. I was in a parking lot in front of a retail strip center.

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.

While parking, but stopped, the car sped out of control. Foot brake and hand brake failed to stop the speeding car. It leaped over a curb and into a retention pond. The doors refused to unlock. Driver and passenger escaped thru windows and onto the roof. Previously, the unattended car had locked itself and windows and sunroof had opened on several occasions the two fobs were on cup hooks in the house. Honda shows no interest.

Premature brake wear. Replaced front rotors and front pads last year due to vibration along with rear pads. Around June 2015 with 55,000 miles on car. Then the rear caliper seized up on the passenger side in March 2016, 70245 miles. Rear rotors resurfaced and pads replaced. Now I just had service done because rear driver side caliper seized up. They also did front rotors and pads due to excessive wear. Mileage 79000.

Since purchased new in 2013 the brakes make a loud roaring sound when applied at high speeds ( 55- 70) mph. The faster that you're driving when brakes are applied, the louder the roar. Roar happens every time that brakes are applied.

There's a lot of vibration when braking especially on the highway. Also there is a leak on the passenger side door. When driving on the freeway, you can hear the wind like it's not completely sealed.

I've been experiencing problems with my brakes after purchasing this vehicle. There are 35,000 miles on the car, and this is my 3rd set of brakes, and second set of rotors to be replaced. I've brought it into the dealership to have the issue looked at, but they couldn't find any problems. I brought it into a local automotive center for a second look, as the brakes were grinding, and felt like wobbling when slowing. They replaced the brakes and the drivers side front rotor. There was a little wobbling and squealing after the repair, but the grinding stopped. I brought it up to the mechanic, and he said it was expected from new brakes. I brought it into the dealership 6 months later because the wobbling started getting worse, and the grinding started again. This time, the brakes were worn completely on both sides in the front, and the rotors were gouged.

Driving on a busy S.E. street in Washington DC, driving about 20 to 30 mph., heard a noise that sounded like a tire blowing out or some other type of noise emanating from underneath the car. I tried to press the brake, but instead the car accelerated and would not stop. It sped up at least another 15 to 20 more mph, and again, would not stop. There were vehicles in the back, so I could not use the emergency brake or shut the car off. There were also vehicles on the side and in front of my vehicle. I had to make a decision on how to slow the car down without hitting any pedestrians or any other vehicles. Decided to try and stop the car by hitting something stationary and ran into a set of steps that belonged to an office building. Airbags deployed and two passersby stopped to assist me and my passenger out of the car. We were both transported by ambulance to a hospital with substantial injuries to the chest, rib, neck and back for myself and the passenger.

Before my car was a year old, my brakes started sporadic squeaking. On the first visit, I was told a manufacturing problem. On the second visit, I was told the next step was cutting into rotors. On the third visit, I was told my rotors were resurfaced. The following day, after the third visit, my breaks continued to make noise. I reached out to corporate, who advised I had to go thru other channels (back at the dealership) before I can file a complaint with them. I am getting frustrated due to multiple visits to the service department and my issue is not getting fixed. I should not have to drive around in a brand new car and my brakes are squeaking. I am paying too much money for this problem; in which the service dept/ dealership is giving me the runaround.

While driving to Chicago (2 hours away) with my wife and 11 year old my maintenance minder light came on to tell me it was time to get an oil change. Since it was a Sunday I couldn't take it in. I couldn't make an appointment until 7/16 to get in for an oil change. On 7/16 I sat in my car to go home, but my dash lights were all lit up. Brakes, electric steering, ABS, check engine, my speedometer wasn't working and many more lights remained on. I called the dealer and they told me it was safe to drive it over to them although I heard a grinding sound, my brakes were soft and my steering wheel was very stiff. I went very slow since my speedometer or mileage wasn't working at all. The next morning my dealer called and claimed that a rodent was the culprit who chewed on some main wiring harness of the entire car. I find this hard to believe because why didn't it happen after the oil light came 2 days before" why didn't my wife's SUV get affected by this? this is a huge quality control issue that Honda needs to fix. What would have happened if all of these lights came on while I was driving my family on the highway"

I recently had a very serious issue with my 2013 Honda Accord regarding unintended acceleration. While pulling into a parking spot at a garden nursery I applied the brakes but they did not respond in anyway, the engine then revved up making a loud noise, the car lunged forward over several railroad tie barriers, bushes, hit a truck that was parked in the lot and came to rest in a mulch pile. Luckily the truck and mulch stopped the car and I was able to put it into park and turn it off. There is considerable amount of damage to the side of my car and the property of the nursery. This happened on May 8, 2014 at 5:00 pm. It was a gravel parking lot, dry sunny day. This Honda was purchased new in 2013 and is a 4cyl with cvt transmission and has approximately 13,000 miles. The car had to be towed to the dealership where it sits now waiting for a Honda representative to investigate this issue. It was a blessing that no one was standing in front of my car. Much of my decision to purchase a Honda was because of reliability and safety; however, I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. This is my first Honda and I am thoroughly disappointed and alarmed after this incident.
