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.
Having "grinding" sounds when trying to start the car, heard this is a common issue for multiple 2013-2015 accord owners. This is a intermittent issue that doesn't let the car start. Last time it happened was 07/28/2020 but it had happen multiple times in the last year.
Intermittent starting problem
I lost my power steering at 65mph driving to the coast on highway 26 in oregon. I nearly crashed my car on the curve when my wheel would not turn like it normally does. I had to yank the wheel to the left to stay on the road. I was terrorist! I slowed my can to 50mph the rest of the 45 miles to my beach house in seaside oregon. The steering continued to get worse and I has happy to have the traffic slow down 20 miles out of seaside to bumper to bumper. I barely got the wheel to turn into my driveway at our seaside, oregon home. I started my 'research' to see if a recall had been made on my car for power steering because I would have died hitting the wall of dirt and trees leaving the highway. This is a huge safety issue! I found an article from 2014 that 374,000 people had complained of this same problem. And that you were investigating back in 2014! My car only has about 42,000 miles on it and that was the time of them going out according to the article. Cars effected were 2013-2017 honda accords ex. Mine is that and a v6. How many people have crashed & died with this faulty part? Do you have record of it? I want this electrial power steering part recalled!! You have failed with not recalling it back in 2014!! I am holding "you" accountable for this happening to me!! I want you to pay for my car to be fixed and my rental car! I need you to respond to me [xxx] [xxx] is my cell. You are lucky I didn't crash!! My car is sitting in my driveway in seaside, oregon and I need it towed to beaverton, oregon to get it fixed. I have posted the 2014 article of you not recalling this! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When pressing start button light will flicker but the car will not start
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 federal safety agency 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 federal safety agency campaign id is 17v418000 !

2013 honda accord v6exl starter makes grinding noise when being started for the first time that day. Happens more on colder mornings than warm mornings. It is a known problem with this year accord.
To begin with I've had to change my battery atleast 4 times(one time it exploded with battery acid)in the last 2 years. Also 6 different lights in the panel are on(brake/ABS/tire pressure/a steering wheel with an !/maintenance/power steering. I recently purchased 4 new tires from firestone and got the car aligned the mechanic said he tried to reset the notification on the dashboard but it wouldn't turn off. I also had a family mechanic put it under the computer which diagnosed an electrical issue. Another issue the car is having is it short circuits my head lights when it rain, which means I'm replacing them almost monthly. The car tends to shake when its stopped but only if the AC is on. So in conclusion after reading this recall in credit karma I am sure my car needs to be repaired
The battery loses connection at random times, sometimes during driving, sometimes while turned off and have to adjust sensor to get car to start.

Intermittent starting issues. Sometimes it will start on first push of the push to start button. Other times it takes 10+ minutes of attempts to get it started. Sometimes it just hasn't started. Took to a mechanic, diagnosed as the starter, replaced starter. Issue is still present this did not fix the problem
Fcw system failed, ABS, tps message popped up out of the blue. I braked and the car spoed up, I had to pull up my emergency brakes, and almost rear ended another car with infant because of this. Took the car to a certified mechanic with 18 certs. The brake lines, fluid, rotors, fluid were perfect. No leaks, the message is still up.he cannot pull up any codes. I am taking a screenshot of this statement with todays front page paper indicating the date I am sending this to you. Please send out an emergency alert so other honda drivers do not have to use their emergency brake and possibly killing an infant or other passengers when their brakes fail.
Error: keyless entry issue. Battery on both key fobs have been replaced with fresh batteries. This is a common problem on honda accords and honda pilots. This issue happens daily, even with key with-in 6 inches of ignition.. This issues 1st started occurring within 2.9 of when warranty went out. It was reported to dealer 1 day after warranty went out.
The car has intermittent starting issues. I have had the battery and alternator changed and checked and there appear to be no issues there. Online forums suggest that this is a endemic starter issue with honda accords. Sometimes the car will start with ease. Other times it will not start at all. When it does not start I have to jump it, but when I take it to the auto shop afterwards they tell me that there are no apparent issues with the battery or alternator.

Intermittent ignition failure. This seems to occur more frequently in colder weather, but I have had issues all year long. When attempting to start the engine, you hear a loud static noise with no engagement of the engine. I've had to abandon my car on a couple occasions due to this failure. Honda service technician advised me that this is a common issue and often results in replacing the starter. I don't have a written quote, but he verbally estimated the cost to be around $1,000.
The smart entry key warning light on dashboard randomly goes on and off. I have replaced battery in key fob with same result. I am concerned because at some point vehicle may not start. Vehicle was in motion and stationary at times when this occurred. Has been happening for last several years.
Starter problems: changed battery twice within 40k mileage (odometer reading) the last time they changed battery it was by honda said my battery is not good and reason because something in the electrical withdrawing power and killing the battery and after 4 days at honda dealer and charged me over $600 they could not identify the problem (they said)...in fact they said we think in the radio maybe! Well after 6 months I found out the problem was not what they say but in the starter! The starter cause this issue until it finally the starter went dead! I open the starter myself and its definitely the starter causing this and I thought to bring it to your attention. Honda must known about this for sure! These condition it caused when its stationary. But so much pain. You drive the car and then you park and then when start nothing, painful experiences. It happened in may occasions, since I bought the car from dealer and until december 8 that is when I open the starter and saw this to for sure its the starter problem that cause battery to die early and honda could not identify the problem at all until finally the starter wen dead. I am an engineer and confident its from the starter. I leave the matter to you to check and decided. Thanks
As I was making a left turn all the dashboard lights turned on. I took it to autozone and they told me there is something wrong with rear tire on the passanger side
