Problems with 2013 Honda Accord ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the push start button function failed to start the vehicle on several attempts. after waiting for two hours, the vehicle was able to start. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle would need to be diagnosed by a dealer. the approximate failure mileage was 43,000. the vin was not available.

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.

Push button stair tee has repeatedly not worked. the power goes on, many icons light up, and when i push the button to turn it off, "power is on" message appears. the power stays on; i cannot turn it off. the fob battery is fine, the "battery management sensor" recall has been done, and it still happens. at least six times in the recent past this has happened and then after i leave it alone a while, it has started. today it started after i waited an hour which was really difficult as i was out of cell phone reception areas. i am taking it in monday. i hope it starts or i will have to have it towed. i see there are hundreds of similar complaints. isn't it about time for a recall? see previous complaints for analysis of the problem with the ignition/starter that should be fixed by honda.

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.

Drove car to work from massachusetts to new hampshire in the morning with the car not turning over right away and having to catch on the second try. after work with only 33196 miles, car did not start yet electronics came on had to have it towed to across states to home dealership and find out its the starter that was wrong. after looking it up, this appeared to be a problem which i brought to the dealerships attention but all they provide was 2 goodwill discounts that was under 100 dollars to still charge 719 for the replacing of starter for a car that is 5 years old and only 33,196 mile on it.

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.

Starter problem all my lights , radio ac windows work but won't crank up. called local dealer and was told sounds like a starter problem and will have to have it towed to dealer. with only 56k on it i have never had a starter fail in such a short time. it must be true japanese cars not as reliable as once thought to be.

The seat memory sensors do not work with key fob close to the door or when in car. must be set manually each time. the car was stationary at the time of entry.

So just like all the other complaints, my car won't start every time i hit the starter button. after i press it it makes a really loud whining sound, i am currently on my 3rd replacement starter, and 2nd alternator. i think it's crazy, after all these complains everywhere that nothing has been done. i gave honda the benefit of the doubt, because of their history of reliability, but this is too much. i need a new starter too actually so starter #4 here i come. this is a serious issue.

My car does not always start. when i push the start button the lights come on and the car chimes, but it doesn't always start. i took it to the dealer and they said it was a bad starter. i had the starter replaced and it appeared to be working fine. now, after a month i am having the same problem. i am the original owner and have also had a dead battery twice since buying it. my car currently has about 77k miles on it.

When i start my vehicle, the engine turns on, but only stays on for a second or two before loosing power. the battery seems to be working perfectly fine as the lights and indicators are properly lit. the starter also cranks properly. the engine however turns on but doesn't stay o. this has happened to me multiple times and i have changed my car battery 3 times now as the dealership isn't unable to identify what the issue is and my battery keeps getting drained. the car is particularly susceptible to this issue in the mornings in colder temperatures (50 degrees or so as i live in southern california) after not being used overnight

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. when the key was turned in the ignition, the vehicle did not start. the starter was replaced by twin city honda (10545 memorial blvd, port arthur, tx 77640, (409) 981-1220). the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000. *tt

I push the button but the car does not start. all lights turn on, battery works great. the starter won't engage and engine won't crank. car was in parking mode and stationary.

Trouble starting car. changing battery did not help.

I purchased this honda used in august 2016. the car was still under warranty when 2 months later the starter began to malfunction. it would take several tries of pushing the button for the car to actually start. october 2016, the battery and starter were replaced under warranty. february 2018 i had the battery connection recall fix performed, and immediately after began having starter issues again, not even 18 months after having it replaced. this car has 55k miles on it at this point and will be on its 3rd starter. i am refusing to pay for this repair and getting away from this brand.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. the battery was dead and had to be charged on three occasions. the contact stated that the failure occurred four months after the vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system) at victory honda in san bruno, california (650-873-0800). the dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the battery was old and needed replacement. the recent failure was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 27,000.

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?

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. while depressing the push to start button, the vehicle failed to start and an abnormal grinding noise was heard. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 48,000.

My 2013 honda accord touring model electric power steering failed. the car only has 49,000 miles. the dealer states it is no longer a extended warranty issue and will not cover issue. the problem was noticed while driving the vehicle and then taken to the dealer for evaluation. the problem is loss of power steering and/or a sudden increase in steering effort and dealer identified that the electric power steering box needs replacement for a total of $2100.00. for a "new" car this is ridiculous and should be honda's fix not the costumer.

I have a 2013 honda accord 2013 with 75,000 miles on it. for the past few moth i've been having problem with the starter. the car will turn on, but after a few tries. i brought the car to the honda dealer and they confirmed there was a problem with the starter. i did not replaced it because i did extensive research and found out that there are too many customers with the same complaint and it's not fair for some that only have a few thousand miles on their cars for them to be paying over $800 for car defect that honda knows that many of their vehicles should already have a recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that there was smoke coming from under the hood to the fuse box, which caused excessive smoke. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was included in, but the contact had not yet received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v418000 (electrical system). the vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 59,000. * (recall related incident) ts

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda accord. the contact stated that the start button had to be pushed several times before the engine would finally start. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sunset honda, 12250 los soso valley rd, luis obispo, ca) where it was diagnosed that the starter was faulty and needed to be replaced and the torque converter needed to be rotated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the contact was informed by the dealer that the manufacturer's tsb number: 16-002 was for the same failure. the failure mileage was 34,000.

Intermittent starting problems. depress the brake, push the start button: a click, dashboard lights some on, radio works, starter does not even try to turn over....nothing. after a few tries, the car starts just fine. car was stationary when trying to start.

I noticed several weeks ago that the car would not start at first attempt and today (01-25-18) my 2013 honda accord failed to start completely. i have about 50,000 miles on it and i feel that this problem should not happen since the car is not very old. now i have to pay about $900 to have it repaired because a new starter is needed. hopefully, the car was in the parking lot of my local library so no accidents happened. the only reason i have this car is for its reliability but now i have second thoughts.

The car has gradually required numerous attempts to start anywhere from 2 to 12 and on some occasions required a jump to start from another vehicle. this started two weeks ago and has progressively gotten worse over that time. diagnostic testing on 1-15-18 revealed no problems with the car specifically the electrical system.

Our 2013 honda accord push button engine start button is not working reliably. we depress the brake and push the button, lights come on but no starter noise. we recently had the honda recall for the battery boot completed. within 2 months we began having difficulty with the push button engine start. the car battery was replaced approximately 4 months ago so we were sure it wasn't that. next step, replaced both fob batteries. still having the same difficulty. is it a coincidence that honda dealer has been in the engine/electrical system recently or is this a bad sign of honda's poor workmanship?

The starter grinds or spins at startup. the issue is similar to https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/sb-10088442-2280.pdf . it appears other honda accord models are also impacted. i have honda accord ex

I have been having trouble with starting up my honda accord. i thought it was the battery so i got that replaced but am still having issues. i press the start button and the power turns on but does not start the engine. it does this multiple times. sometimes it will start the engine but lately, it has turned more into a gamble on when it will actually start the engine.

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.

My 2013 honda accord 4 door was working great. until i took it for a battery censor recall at. honda of rock hill,sc in december 2017. my keyless switch was not working properly. battery on car was replaced and battery on keys were replaced as well. took it to honda of rock hill, on 2/2018, they stated it was the starter.?? went on youtube and internet and this has been happening a lot to 2013 honda accords. but there is not a recalled. called and open a case with honda of north america they wanted to know if starter failed was caused by recall. called dealer and technician could not determine if failed of starter was caused by changing of part in recalled.

My accord has 38769 miles on it, has always been serviced be a honda dealer, and recalls have been fixed. since the battery sensor was fixed december, 2017 my push start will not always start my car and there is no indicator light to show anything is wrong. the dealer wants to charge me to diagnose my car. i notified honda, they assigned a case number and referred back to dealer. i have googled this problem and it seems that several 2013 and 2014's have this problem just after warranty expired. would you please investigate? these starters are dangerous. when i purchased the car in 2013 and was coming up a snow covered drive my car quit and i slid backward because i could not restart car without using the brake. i complained to honda then, they opened a case, then nothing. i told them then that i was sliding backward and could have gone over an embankment.. they just closed that case when i called about current problems. i will never own another honda.

60,000 miles car would not start. after several attempts it started ok. again a few days later tried to start and would not. bought a new battery and worked ok for a couple days. getting worse and worse and now instead of once a week it's 4-5 times a week. took to honda dealership in leesberg fla and they told me i was putting "cell phone" to close to key fob therefore blocking signal to ignition. the next day i replaced key fob and did not have cell phone anywhere close. car would not start. after now knowing if car would start or not and dealer telling me unless it happened "all" the time they could not fix. got on the internet and it said that everyone is having this problem and honda has a defective starter. i took car to have new starter installed and have not had any problems since. i find it strange that the honda "dealer" was not aware of this and i had to research info thru the internet to find the problem and don't know why honda does not repay the customer and or have a recall on the starter. my problem is now fixed with the installation of a new starter!

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.

My starter is being replaced for intermittent starting issues. my mechanic very experienced and i have been using for years made the diagnosis. i was present for the diagnostic test. my car is a 2013 honda accord with less then 44000 miles. i have owned 3 honda's all still in the family. i had a 2002 with the original starter, which my daughter now owns and i have a 2010 with almost 100,000 with the original starter. something is wrong when you have to change a starter on a 4 yr old car with low mileage. i have also had to change the battery in the 2013 last january with less then 40,000 miles on it. i changes the battery myself.

I have a 2013 honda accord and i have been the only owner. i recently had to replace the starter! it's rediculous to have to do that on a 2013. i would press the start button and it would just click. after several attempts, it would finally start.

@31000 mles,trunk lid no longer responds to key fob. opening trunk requires inside lever action. estimated cost to repair seems out of reason for a part that failed while car was in garage.
