1 Car Stall problem

2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2019

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 national highway traffic safety administration 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 NHTSA campaign id is 17v418000 !.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2019

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 of videos, and I also have reciepts for all the trips my car took to the dealer. I am not going to install a 4th starter, that is that rediculouse, I refuse to go to a Honda dealership again for them to tell me what I already know.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2019

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 a car that's not going to leave me stranded and that I can feel safe driving the car out of town right now that's not the case. I do have several friends and family members that have had to come to my rescue to jump start my car or we have had to call a tow truck to get it to the dealership. We have had two ase certified mechanics look at it and were able to duplicate the starting issues and the battery draining and they both told us to take it to our local dealership. We have lots of video and documentation of what the car is doing and also friends that will speak on our behalf. No one will ride with me anymore in fear the car wont start or stall while stopped in a busy intersection. We started having issues two years ago but got alot worse in may of this year.

8 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2015

On several occasions over the last six weeks when turning left, the car will stall for a second or so loosing all power. It then will suddenly accelerate. I have nearly been hit when turning onto a road by on coming traffic when I should have had plenty of time to get out of the way. This is a major safety issue! the dealer had the car for three days. The service rep drove it home. The mechanic drove it. They could not reproduce the problem. The day I got the car back it again stalled or lugged. Most of the time it stalls when turning left but it has failed in reverse and when leaving a stop lite. The service manager said he would call Honda engineering to see what problems they might be aware of. That was a week ago and I've not heard back. The problem does not happen if you are over 20 mph. This is a 6 cylinder Honda. The problem happens with ecco off or on. I purchased the car certified used 10/2015 from a Honda dealer. It has 18,000 miles. I am an experienced driver of Honda's for the last 25 years.

9 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2015

My Accord hesitates when put to d from a stop or accelerating from stop, low rpm or zero sporadically even while leaving my driveway. It usually happens from park to drive or reverse to drive. It has stalled while leaving a stop sign or an intersection on the street, should be considered a safety issue because it could cause an accident. I've been told by the dealer that is a Honda issue and to basically live with the problem. I've been have this issue since I bought the car in November 2015.

10 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2014

This has happened to me several times during the past two years. When I slow down to turn a corner, or slow down for a traffic light, going at a slow speed from approx. 15 mph to 25 mph, the car appears to stall. As if the engine has stopped. When I push on the accelerator nothing happens. If I take my foot off the gas, then push down again, the car surges ahead. I have called this to the attention of the dealer and the service tech always says that they checked it and found nothing wrong. I am afraid that on one of those times that the car suddenly loses power that I will be tailgated if there is someone directly behind me. I am also afraid that one of the times I again put pressure on the gas pedal that the car may surge ahead too fast and I may cause an accident. I would like to know if other Honda owners have had the sane experience.

11 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2013

Upon acceleration from a stop or a speed under 15 mph, the car occasionally hesitates for 2-4 seconds. Nearly have gotten t-boned several times when making a left turn well in front of approaching traffic. Have been to dealer three times. They installed a hardware/software to the cvt to no avail, but have been unable to duplicate, as it typically happens about once a week. This is definitely a safety issue.

12 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2013

At slow speeds the Honda would stall. Also happened when initially shifting from park to drive. Rpm¿s would just cut out. Happened 5-6 times. Stalled out while moving through intersection. Called tow company and had them tow to dealer. Dealer replaced ¿computer sensors�. I¿m not really sure what it was. Vehicle has not had problem since however gas mileage is down significantly since ¿fix�. Not happy with mileage. Was getting 35 mpg¿s on my commute. Now getting 31 mpg¿s. Over 10% reduction.

13 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2013

Shortly after purchase, I noticed that sometimes when turning a corner and then trying to accelerate, the engine falters as though it is going to stall, but it doesn't. The car now has about 2500 miles on it and this has happened dozens of times, but not always, when turing a corner. It doesn't matter whether or not the eco system is engaged or the a/c is on or off. I spoke to a service rep at my Honda dealer who said other owners have reported the same issue, but that it is just a characteristic of the vehicle and that there is no fix for it. I think this has the potential to cause an accident if I can't accelerate ahead of on coming vehicles or the car stalls.

14 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/14/2012

2013 Honda Accord sedan, v6, touring model I stopped at the signal light at route 50 and chain bridge road; when the light changed I pressed the accelerator to leave, but nothing happened - the car was not moving or accelerating. Cars behind me honked and I pressed the accelerator more and then all of a sudden the vehicle's front tires spun a little and the car took off. This gave me a scare! this happened again 10-15 miles later as I was arriving near my home in alexandria, va. However, this issue is not causing the car to jerk, surge, or accelerate on its own; during this period of hesitation, when I need the car to accelerate, it appears to momentary die, stall, or run out of gas. I thought this was very odd, so I inspected the accelerator area, floor mats, etc. And everything appeared normal. This same incident happened on November 16, 2012, November 27, 2012, Dec 4, 2012 and Dec 11, 2012. I visited fairfax Honda service department hoping for a quick remedy. Unfortunately they were unable to duplicate the problem until the service manager and I drove the car together during my 11 Dec 2012 visit. The service manager told me this was characteristic of the 2012 Honda Accord sedan. He and I then drove a 2012 Honda Accord and I found this to be obvious when driving the 2012 Honda. I am very surprised this dangerous technical problem/issue has not been highlighted and remedied for the 2013 vehicle. I am very uncomfortable and concerned that due to the hesitation when attempting to accelerate I may be hit from the rear or hit by another vehicle due to this recurring malfunction. My wife feels this vehicle is dangerous and refuses to drive it. I have previously discussed this technical problem with Honda of America and they have opened a case file [xxx].
