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 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 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..

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.

After my 100,000 maintenance in September 2020, my Honda Accord began having problems starting. Since then, I have replaced the battery, the alternator and starter. When I start the car for the first time of the day, it starts. After parking the car after I have gone some place, the car will not start. Then, I have to keep pressing the electrical start button until the car starts. So far, at times, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to re-start the car. I reported the situation to Honda usa on 02/01/2021 and they said there are no recalls on this vehicle so they cannot help me. However, Honda usa did start a case for me. My wife and I do not want to get stranded after driving some place. After reviewing the internet, the electrical starting system is a major issue for the 2013 Honda Accord. Honda usa says you cannot believe everything on the internet. See carcomplaints.com. Something needs to be done because it is a safety issue.

Error lights on dashboard come up (lots of them) and in the center it states "fcw system failure". Honda trying to charge me $1,600 to fix the errors and apparently this is happening to a ton of people. Clearly something that needs to be recalled

Intermittent start button not engaging. New battery, new batteries in both fobs. Usually occurs after initial start when you have driven, stopped at a designation, even just to gas up. You press start button, all lights come on, you turn it of and usually on the third attempt it starts.

After working a late shift at her job, my wife went to drive home only to have the car fail to start. At 11pm, she was left stranded in an empty parking lot until I could reach her (45 minutes from our home). The car's starter had failed. A google search shows that this is a common and well-documented flaw with the 2013 Accord. Called the local dealer and they insist that they have no reports of known starter issues. Repair cost is over $300 ($200 for part plus labor costs). Reached out to Honda corporate, no response.

Power steering went out. Warning light for power steering came on. Turned off car, restarted and the same warning light came on. Turned off the car again, restarted and power steering was then working. This did not cause an accident.

2-3 months ago, at approx 72,000 miles, the starter would not work on occasion. Independent diagnostic suggested issue with alternator (replaced) and battery (replaced). Issue continued. Now we have not been able to start the car for days. A test of the starter shows nothing wrong. Then fcw system failed while trying to start the car, cleared and failed again. Pushing starter button results in all lights and power coming on, but no start of the car. When power is off and door open, there is a warning signal similar to when lights are left on, but lights are off. Seems the starter problem is common, but the recommended fixes are not working. Repeatedly replacing parts does not resolve the issue. I was 150 miles from home before the last start. When the car started after several attempts, I immediately drove home. I can't risk being stranded.

My car just got 22,000 miles but has problems with the starter. I joined a forum of people who own same type of my car. There are many people has same problems with mine. Some lucky people got the problem when the car has 80,000 miles. Some unlucky people got the problem with the low miles on the car as me. I think Honda need to have a recall for starter problem of Honda Accord 13 model.
