Car not starting. Having to jumpstart periodically. Replaced battery even though battery registered good. Realizing it's in the electric start switch. I built these cars, I'm troubleshooting now. Have read several complaints about my exact issue. Bought it new, highway miles between oh and fl. 69k. Shouldn't be having this issue. Always serviced and maintained. I don't feel this should come out of my pocket. First time I experienced it, was out with friends, paid for a taxi to get home, jumpstarted next day to get it home. The several other times, I was in my driveway and was able to jumpstart it here. It's in the electric start. Purchased battery 3/9/19, still having difficulty with it turning over. $164. For a new battery. Which I knew it wasn't battery, fianc had it replaced worrying about me being stranded. I can see this is going to be a problem for me. I first noticed it july 2018. Wouldn't start in oh, I thought I had just left my trunk open too long while packing.
I have 2013 accord exl 40k miles, and had intermittent starting problem from last few wekks, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, sometimes it just doesn't start. I leave it alone for about a min or two. Battery is not the problem and I've already had it tested. Took it in for service, they couldn't duplicate. Anybody else have this problem? What should I do at this point?
Starter failure, starter just clicks. I have the same starter problem as all the other compliants for a 2013 honda accord.
Tl* the contact owned a 2013 honda accord. While driving at an unknown speed, an abnormal noise was heard under the hood of the vehicle. The contact noticed smoke and fire coming from the front of the vehicle. The fire department extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The fire department stated that the battery exploded, which caused the failure. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to an auto collision lot. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Issue with push button start. Started experiencing intermittently when pushing button, car won't start. Typically hit the button again and car starts. Now, however, it is taking a few to several times of pushing the start button for car to start. This can happen after being turned off for a minute to overnight. There is no pattern. I've seen this problem has happened to many owners of the '13 honda accord when I look online. Why hasn't honda taken responsibility & issued a recall. This can be a safety issue if you get stuck somewhere & car won't start. (copy/paste- same problem!!)
There three warning indicators that come on my dash and will not go off. The indicators are the power steering sensor, the tire pressure monitoring system and the vsa engaged indicator. I have 4 friends with honda accords ranging from 2013 - 2015 and we have all experienced the same issue. When I talk to a mechanic as well as honda no one knows why these indicators are illuminated. No issues can be found to why these lights will not go off. The vehicle starts in the am and these lights are not on and when I drive about 30 miles these lights come on and stay the remaining time. These lights stay on, highway and street driving as well as sitting stationary.
I have 2013 accord lx 55k miles, and had intermittent starting problem from last few months, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, sometimes it just doesn't start. I leave it alont for about a min or two with key out and then it'll start, sometimes longer. Battery is not the problem and I've already taken to the dealership to have them check the battery and the starting system. Checked out ok, they couldn't duplicate. Anybody else have this problem? Now it won't start at all. I found the recall is for v6 models only. What should I do at this point?
Since purchase in 2017. We have had to get roadside assistance multiple times to jump the battery because vehicle wouldn't start. We have spoke to honda that perhaps this VIN# vehicle should have been on a recall...but not included on a the 11/8/17 kgo recall. We then turn to local pepboys to do a 1st diagnostic on 10/2/2018 and showed damaged battery and so we purchased a new battery and then 2 weeks later on 11/2/18 had to have two jump starts that week and we returned to pepboys for a 2nd diagnostics that pinpointed something causing battery damage. Installed a new 2nd battery which brings us to where we are currently. In conclusion, we are fearful as we drive this vehicle and park and worry that we are going to be left stranded some where when we go to crank vehicle or worse a fire due to some electrical short. We believe that honda should provide a voucher to take vehicle to local honda dealership at their cost to determine the root cause since they should know their vehicle the best.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. The vehicle failed to start with no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to restart after an hour but failed to turn off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as the starter needing replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer holler honda (2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807 (877)-872-9906) was contacted and a diagnostic appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,774.
At 61xxx miles the vehicle began to no longer start reliably. Sometimes I would push the start button and it would start normally and sometimes I would just hear a single click but the engine would not turn over. When the engine would not start it would sometimes start if you retried it, but usually it would only restart after multiple pushes of the start button. Some days I could not start it after 20 or more attempts. After about a week of this when I finally got it started I drove it to my local mechanic's shop and left it for them to deal with. They diagnosed it as a bad starter, replaced the starter and now it works ok. I had tested the car battery and it had 13.6 volts. I tested the key fob batteries and they had well over their advertised 3v . I read the honda accord forums and found many, many people with the same symptoms. I believe this is the 6th honda I have owned and never replaced a starter on any of them - 3 or 4 of them have gone nearly 200k miles with no starter problem. Judging by the number of people who have reported bad starters in the first 75000 miles I would have to say honda, was either trying to save money by using cheap starters or has a bad supplier for their starters. Whatever it is, they are putting their customers ind some very inconvenient and potentially dangerous situations.
Bought this car at the end of its 3 year warranty 2 years ago. I immediately had to have the starter and battery replaced (09/16). Car began not starting when the push button is engaged, starter was replaced again in (03/18). Now in september the car began taking 5 or 6 presses of the start button to start. Dealer replaced the battery (09/18). One week later the problem began again and the starter was replaced again (10/18).
Intermittent starting problems. Car has new battery and alternator is good. Please see same complaints online. One time I drove home from work for about 15 miles, turned off car in the driveway, tried to start the car and wont start.
I had about 3 to 4 times that the car doesn't start at first time this year. Those times, I had to try four or five times. Now I think of it it started to happen after replacing the recalled part, battery sensor on 3/23/2018. On 9/10/2018, I tried so many time to start the car but had to towed to honda dealer to take a look. Next day, I was told the starter needed the starter replacement costing $850, and my car only has 35600 miles on it.
When attempting to use the push button to start the car,I am unable to start it. All the dashboard lights come on and I get a clicking sound. After 6-10 times trying to start the car it finally starts. Car has 48,000 miles. Has happened a few times.
The honda has been intermittently starting for the past month. When you initially try to start there is a click and if you try again often 3-4 attempts it will start. Summer months this is very frustrating the vehicle has a battery sensor recall and since the recall this has started to occur.
Sometimes the car will not start. Brake is depressed and button is pushed to start, green light goes on but car does not start. Air conditioner will run. I then push the starter button and everything goes off and try to start the car again. Car usually starts after one or two times.
My car has just gone beyond the 36,000 mile warrantee & is now having difficulty starting. When the start button is pushed, all I get is some warning lights. It will start after 6 - 12 attempts. It does not seem to matter if the engine is cold or warm. Three different people have experienced this problem when starting this vehicle. The problem has lasted weeks & is still present. It looks like the repair will cost about $600.

2013 accord. Original battery died september 2016 - replaced battery again july 2018. Beginning in may 2018 turn the key and lights come on but engine doesn't crank. It takes 2 or 3 tries then cranks and starts like normal. Very disappointed in honda brand. They were know for reliability - no longer! Would not recommend honda to anyone I know looking for a car.
Car developed problems starting. All lights, radio, etc would turn on but the starter will not start the vehicle. It began slowly and got increasingly worse with time. Problem got even worse after the recalled battery sensor was replaced.
Early failure of starter. The starter failed within 5 years of purchase (new car) with very low mileage 46k miles. I could not start my engine on multiple occasions.
I have honda accord 2013 and it's only 60000 miles and start problem like I just change battery and just started problem for ignition switch and it's hard to turn on may be starter problem but it's only 5 year and it's too early to have that problem
2 items- was there an air bag recall? & starter push button malfunction, it doesn't start at times when pushed, it's getting worst, I'm up to over five trys and now it feels like I'd be stuck at any location. It started about two months ago. Someone on youtube claimed that there was a recall on the 2013 accord push button starter.
Push button start is acting strange when I push button to start the car it only clicks then second try it mostly starts. This problem has been started about three months ago nowadays it is happening 3 or 4 times in a week.
Car won't start. After battery sensor recall was completed the problem started. Brake pedal does not go down. Press keyless start and only dashboard lights go on. Have to get the car jumped every 2-3 days. Afraid to turn the car off. All recalls completed. Dealer where I purchased the car from was not familiar with the problem. Brand new battery.
