Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2013 Honda Accord

When pushing start button the engine would make a grinding screeching noise. at 34,000 miles starter was replaced. now at 70,000 miles same noise is coming again from engine. seems to be a common issue with v6 models. there is a service bulletin 16-002 for this issue however after addressing the issue once already it seems to be a reoccurring issue.

Rear wheel bearings deteriorated, causing loud noises from the rear at speeds as low as 10 miles per hour. had to be replaced on both sides.

Upon start up, all the lights on the dashboard lit up. fcw failure noted on the digital display. acceleration non existent in this state. several restarts (34 was the max), no lights on the dash. car ran fine. dealer diagnosed it as a timing chain that had expanded. seems to be fixed. (only been two days). i think it is a major safety issue because the lack of power could manifest itself at any time. imagine getting on a highway with no power to accelerate.

Two nights ago i was driving on i-75 back home from work , i was going speed limit 70-75 mph and the car suddenly started "bogging down", didn't want to go above 30 mph and a number of dash lights were on: service engine, power steering, tire pressure and maybe traction control. i turn off the car, turn it back on, and the lights still on. i drive short distance home at 25-30 mph. the following morning i looked at the car, didn't see anything wrong i felted very unsafe from car suddenly slow in the middle of hwy i-75 going from 70-75 mph to 25-30 mph, this happened with out any warning or enough time to pull over the shoulder, definitely a bad accident would happened here.

Starter failure described in honda's tsb 16-002. car exhibited a grinding noise upon trying to start. it would fail to start. this was an intermittent problem. honda finally replaced the starter but was unwilling to warranty the known problem. a year later i am having the same problem.

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.

My transmission fluid was very low so i took it in to the dealership to get it checked out. prior to this my brother drove my car and said it was not going into gears smoothly. when i took it into the dealership the representative said low transmission fluid can make the car run not too smooth. he did mentioned that there was a notice for a foul spark plug and told me to drive the car for a few days and if the problem doesn't fix itself then to bring it back in so they can look further into the problem. my concern is if i have a recall and i am having problems that could be caused by a faulty spark plug shouldn't they automatically bring my car in and replace the spark plugs? on your site it appears that i have had two recalls for my vehicle. not once have i been notified by the dealership. this is new to me. i'm not familiar with this process. can you please give me some guidance? thank you, concerned customer *tr

Car in the morning hesitates just pulling out of its parking space. put the car in reverse and it won't move. put it in drive and same issue. it seems as if it's trying to warm up maybe? when it does start moving, it runs at 5-10 mph at 3k rpms. i let it roll slowly and after a few minutes it starts to drive normal. going uphill, i experience a similar issue where the car is running at very high rpms at low speeds. i get the effect in eco and in s mode. it doesn't seem to matter. car is a 2013 has about 42k miles and started to experience this issue about 4-5k miles ago. i just assumed it was because the car wasn't warm enough or because its a 4 cylinder. looking further into this noted that this seems to be a common issue with honda's cvt.

Tamar a inflators my car has a huge click after backing up after stopping and putting into gear sounds like the linkage has just broke. makes a big loud click when putting into drive. like the transmission is about to break off. please help.

Two weeks ago, my steering wheel pulled left quickly and then back. i thought i hit a rock. in the past two weeks same issue. yesterday, pulled out of the garage and the steering wheel indicator light came on. read the book. restarted the engine. it went away. today, after driving about 5 minutes indicator light came on again. steering wheel froze. restarted and ok. driving on major highway, indicator light came on and all steering was frozen. i am traveling, therefore had to find the closest honda dealer. i am now stranded for two days awaiting repair. i'm 8 hours from home, and now suspicious and worried whether i will return home safely. after reading some entries, i too had slow movements since i have owned this vehicle -- thought is was the new cvs engine.

I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord, ex-l,. my honda has 42k miles. at about 25k miles my accord started to make a very obvious and disturbing droning/humming noise at speeds above 40 mph. the noise became progressively louder as time went by. i brought the car to my local honda dealer 2 times and asked them to fix the problem, to no avail. after having new tires installed at 42k miles, and the droning noise was still occurring, i brought the car to my local honda dealer a third time and they diagnosed the noise problem as coming from a defective front right wheel bearing and a defective rear left wheel bearing. both wheel bearings were replaced on july 27, 2016 and the droning noise above 40 mph is gone. replacing the wheel bearings fixed the problem! the service advisor at the dealer was not able to explain why the wheel bearings failed, and he stated that the technicians at the dealership did not know why/how the bearings failed either. i contacted honda america hq on august 1, 800-999-1009, and was told ...
