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
When turning my steering wheel while driving my engine shuts down and restarts. when this happens my steering wheel locks up
Vehicle would occasionally not start. when pressing the button, a static noise is heard. the starter is spinning, but not engaging with the torque gear. the starter motor has been replaced three times but the result is the same. these start issues are a daily occurrence. the only way it starts is if i shift to neutral and try. occasionally that doesn't work and i have to shift back to park and try to start it there.
The car is having starter issues. randomly will start and then won't. there are thousands of complaints about this on the internet. same make and model, same issue. the system or starters are obviously defective and should be recalled. this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time for us- at least a year or more.
The vehicle was parked and stationary, once it was turned on the (eps) electrical power system light was displayed on the dash. steering wheel was then difficult to move or turn. the indicator was constant from that point.
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 ...

Battery drains often. have changed the battery twice & i believe i will have to change it again. i believe it's the charging system for the battery
In 2018 my battery went dead and the lines were corroded. battery was replaced. 3 months ago my car started to not start randomly. all lights on dash lit up, starter making noise as if it is starting, car doesn't start. this was about once a week but is now up to ten times a week. i looked it up online where others reported the same problem, said put it in neutral and it will start (true) and that hondas were having trouble with connection to batteries. said step one was to change out sensor until part became available to fix this problem and to contact recall with vin number to get vehicle fixed. i had a recall on a sensor a couple of years ago and took car in for same and had work done--not sure if this is same problem or not, but as i was able to look the exact problem up online with explanation and solution how to circumvent problem i expected to see a recall about this. please advise what my next step is. thank you.

2013 honda accord caught on fire in our complex on sunday 6/9/2019. the car was stationary for about 4 hours prior to the vehicle catching on fire. we were called by our neighbor that the car was on fire just before 4pm that day. when we got back, the fire department had just put out the fire. a police report was also filed. the car is also is part of an active recall for the battery sensor. we received 2 notices (august 2017/feb 2019) and i was told each time that the car was not part of the recall. i have filed a claim with my insurance company along with opened up a case with honda. i also filed a consumer complaint against honda for a defective car. no one was in the car at the time it caught on fire but the vehicle is a total loss as it destroyed the entire front end of the car. my insurance company along with honda will be sending out their fire inspectors to identify the origin of the fire to determine liability.
Having problems with starting the car at times. it started when on a road trip. we were an hour out from home, had been driving for approximately 2.5 hours. we stopped at a rest area to use the facilities, came back to the car and it wouldn't start, it tried turning over but did not. we received a boost and it started right up. this happens intermittently with no warning. i have been stranded on several occasions. the car was checked out and i was told that the battery, alternator and starter were all fine. i actually drive with a jump starter in the car so that i won't be stranded. it is frustrating to not know what is wrong.
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 ...
Starter is malfunctioning. grinds at first and typically starts on second or third attempt.
Push button start does not function properly. the car is unpredictable because it frequently fails to start when i push the engine button. sometimes it starts on the first try, but i am frequently left trying to crank the car for 5 to 10 minutes. one day it would not start at all but started immediately the next morning. this problem has existed for months and the car has approximately 52,000 miles. i read on 'community talk' that other honda owners are experiencing the same issue. on june 27, 2019, i had to pay over $773.84 to replace the starter. the dealership in danville, va. said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing all of them.
The car has a push button start. sometimes the starter on the car does not work properly. at times, the car fails to start for 5 to 10 minutes and indicates that the starter system is not not working properly. it also indicates that the power is still on. even after the ignition is off, the power is still on. on june 27, 2019, i had to pay $773.84 to replace the starter. this problem has been going on for months. the car only has 51,562 miles. the problem started before 50,000 miles but happened infrequently. over the months, the problem grew worse. now the car may not start in the evening but starts immediately the next morning. getting stranded is a definite risk. the danville honda dealership in virginia said they keep the starters in stock because they are replacing a lot of them. there are also discussions on-line about the problem - community talk. therefore, honda should replace the starters free of charge.
