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.

When I first purchased my 2013 Honda Accord from the dealership I noticed sometimes the push start would stall or sound like it was failing. Also my driver side door would not respond to my key fob. All other doors respond to it except the driver door. I have replaced the battery and still the issue hasn't been resolved. I have been taking the actual key out of the fob and inserting it into the car door to unlock my driver side door. Now the ac has began to stop and start. It almost sounds like the fan motor is kicking on and off. And my driver side seat is not sliding back properly. It will began to glide then stop. Then I have to keep pressing and it'll glide back a little and then stop again. Overall I think there is some sort of electrical shortage or something is happening with it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there was an electrical system recall sent out June 29, 2017. As stated on their website this could result in an electrical short increases the risk of a fire. The NHTSA campaign id is 17V418000 !

Apparently many have complained about faulty starters in this particular model, and sure enough I experienced it today. The starter failed. This is from a cold start and it's happened three times already.

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. The 2008-2012 Accord engines had a class action lawsuit and I believe another one is warranted for the 9th gen 2014-2017 Accord 2.4L models..I am losing about 1qt of oil per 1000 miles. These Honda engines are notorious for excessive oil consumption and the owners need help.

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?""

This problem started two years ago and got worse in May. It all started whe we had a rough time starting the vehicle it would take up to 6 time until the car would finally start. We were told it was the battery so we changed the batter up to four time and it still kept having starting issues so then we were told it was the starter so we had it replaced and we are still having issues and now the car stalled on me while stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and it took numerous tries and it finally turned over. Our local dealership had the car for 13 weeks and told us they were able to duplicate the starting issues and then told us a few days later they didnt push the button in long enough so it was there mechanics fault and then tell us they find a draw on the battery and a few days later tells us there mechanic used a faulty meter and then they blame it on our internet, smart tvs, garage door opener and wifi. I am so tired of all the excuses and need a car that's not going to leave me stranded and that I can feel safe driving the car out of town right now that's not the case. I do have several friends and family members that have had to come to my rescue to jump start my car or we have had to call a tow truck to get it to the dealership. We have had two ase certified mechanics look at it and were able to duplicate the starting issues and the battery draining and they both told us to take it to our local dealership. We have lots of video and documentation of what the car is doing and also friends that will speak on our behalf. No one will ride with me anymore in fear the car wont start or stall while stopped in a busy intersection. We started having issues two years ago but got alot worse in may of this year.

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 Accord 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.

I purchased new a 2013 Honda Accord 4 cyl in August 2013 which had the battery sensor replaced at 26,010 miles in October 2017. Shortly thereafter, I started experiencing an intermittent starting problem. When I turn the key, the dash lights turn on as normal, but the engine does not turn over or even crank. While this does not happen all the time, it happens frequently and it can take between 2-6 tries before it finally starts at home or anywhere I traveled. Aaa jumped me once too. Dealer said to switch keys as it may be the immobilizer sensor in my key. Then December 2018 at 32,935 miles, dealer recommended I replace the battery which I did, but issue continued, July 2019 at 36,555 miles, dealer performed diagnostics stating the starter was bad but there wasn't a recall and it's more than 36 months so out of warranty. Dealer does not apply the cost of the diagnostics against the repair. Total cost for diagnostics, starter and tax was $889.47. Plus the dealer sold me a refurbished starter with a 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty stating a new starter only carries a 12 month warranty. Almost $1K is a lot of money for one repair for a senior citizen for a car with 36K miles. Appears this is a common issue so Honda motor co should recall the starter and provide reimbursement to those who had to have it replaced to avoid being stranded.

Takata recall. Nothing has been resolved. Additionally, vtc actuator. Honda has repaired Accord's from 2008-2012 but not 2013-2016 which have the same issue. Various forums and my own vehicle has the issue. I have videos and sound to prove the same issue that Honda is repairing on Accord's from 2008-2012 on the service bulletin. The vehicle is stationary. When turning on the vehicle, the vehicle starts with a loud start-up and sometimes when the weather is really cold, the engine won't start. Honda does have a recall for the same issue but for older cars.

I think this might be my 3rd complaint, I love Honda and have had Honda cars for years, but this has really tested my patience. For the last 4 years I have gone through 3 starters and 2 alternators, every time I contact Honda they tell me to drop the car off so they can test it, I pay them $130 so they can tell me what they already know. My problem is that starter issue is very common, and there is no long term fix for this issue. So the issue is back, I end up getting stranded in places for hours at a time, and sometimes even end up being late to work, due to my starter spinning away until I can get it to catch eventually. I took it to get appraised the other day, and it wouldn't start ofcourse, the dealer refused to look at the vehicle ofcourse, because no one wants to sell a lemon. At this point, I am either looking for Honda to buy my car off me, replace it, or come up with a permanent fix. If you go on youtube and type in Honda starter issue you will find plenty of videos, and I also have reciepts for all the trips my car took to the dealer. I am not going to install a 4th starter, that is that rediculouse, I refuse to go to a Honda dealership again for them to tell me what I already know.

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).
