1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2019

Push button start is not responding on a regular basis. When button is pushed,the battery is activated and all lights and radio are operational, however the car does not start. Battery has been tested and all connections seem to be working properly. V6 models of this car have had a service bulletin 16-002 issued for starter, however my car is a four cylinder and therefore not eligible to be looked at under service bulletin. . Issue can happen after several starts during the day, after sitting in cold or garage. It does not seem to make a difference whether the car has been running or not. Car has 102,000 miles on it, and is in good condition. There are many complaints online regarding this same situation with my model, seems as though it is the exact same issue as with the v6. This is an ongoing and random issue. I have never been unable to start the car after several tries, but not sure if this luck will end soon.

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.

2013 Honda Accord won't start. Lights, a/c, radio, windows work. This occurred after 50,000 miles. I would have to turn steering column at first to get it to start. Now it doesn't start at all! the vehicle is stationary.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2015

Since purchased new in 2013, the radio sometimes will not get a lot of static and fuzz. To clear up the static, we have to pull over to side of the highway and turn the ignition off then restart the car and radio plays clearly. I learned this technique from a Honda forum.

5 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2015

It so far has happened to me twice that I need to jump-start the car. There probably has some electrical leakage issues or something related to it. The first time it was more than a year ago that when I came earlier to a doctor appointment waiting for the clinic to open, I turned off the car and left the cd player on. But it only played for about half an hour or so it turned off automatically due to the battery power has already been depleted and the card could not start at all that I had to call aaa after the doctor appointment to jump-start for me. I thought at that time it was due to the cd player took too much power so I did not complain about it. But the second time it was a few weeks ago on Sunday, which give me the concerns that there must be some electrical leakage on my car. After parking for the church meeting and turned off the car, both my wife and I decided to open the window a little bit to let the air flows in the hot weather since we parked under a covered parking and would not worry about possible rainfall. So before we open the doors, we opened both front windows a very little bit and left for the meetings. Then about 3. 5-4 hours later when it was time to go home, we found out the car would not start, and we had to ask for help to jump-start it again. This time it gave a definite guess that there must be some electrical leakage in the car. I also complained in early June of this year about the steering wheel lock issue. I received a mail from Honda to fix it, but when I call the dealers, none of them even offer loaner cars for such recall and manufacture failure repairs. Honda is bad for things like this. I don't know whether I should purchase Honda again in the future. I never complained once for my Toyota for years. Even they schedule for manufacture recalls, which I never encounter myself, I did not have to worry about the loaner car.

6 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2013

Since delivery date of vehicle from dealer my vehicles navigation and stereo have not worked. I brought it in the service dept could not figure out what was wrong, they replaced the navigation and stereo and the problem still to this day exist. When this radio is on sometimes it freezes and the nav unit states the radio is off and other times it just stays on, volume increases on its own, cannot use touch screen, cannot change stations and then the lights on the dash go on and off and car shuts off. I have gone online and see that there are many other people reporting the same problem and when I take it to the dealer if it goes back to working the service dept tells me that they cannot diagnose the problem to keep driving it and bring it back. On sept 21 I brought it in to dealer and it shut off at dealer 3x's making them jump start it and I have once again received my car with no assurance that it works. They said the battery and computer test come back ok but they changed the battery in hopes that that will resolve the issue. It is 9/24/15 and same thing happened this morning. But since after 3 hours of trying to turn it back on it did and I cant go back to being without a car because I have a 2 year old daughter, have to work and know the dealer will say its working again I have to just pray it will not happen while on the road.
