Vehicle is 2013 and I have replaced the started and battery 4 times due to engine failure, it turn on and immediatly dies off, my car has been towed 6 times or more since I bought, I have done all the maintenance all the time and computer never identifies this problem. I am so tired of this trash car, I stillowe on it or else I would just park it on the front lot of a dealer and put a big sign saying do not buy Honda Accords, many problems always. Lastly, I asked the driver for the tow truck which kind of cars he tows the most due to engine failure and he said, laughing "hondas". . . First time it fail to start was at 54k miles.

2008 Honda Accord ex-l v6. Engine failure. Heading home and car cut off. Pulled over and called my mechanic for a tow to his shop. His diagnosis was engine failure and he stated a new engine is the only fix. My mechanic runs a small shop in a small town and he tells it like it is. He recommended selling the car for scrap rather than investing in the new engine. I was upset. This is a nice car and is quite clean. But during my five years of ownership I have added oil every week to keep it topped off. Spark plugs fouled often enough to carry extras in the trunk along with a ratchet and socket. When they fouled I would pull over, change them and go on my way. I still own the car. But it is has too many miles and is too old for inclusion into the class action settlement. This isn't right and it's the first and last Honda I will ever own.

I have a 2000 Honda Accord lx v6 4door sedan. After the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes, the engine failed to start after it was shut off for 5-10 minutes. The first time this happened, the car was only 2 years old. Each time I try to restart the engine, the engine would turnover and run for about 2 seconds and then stalled. Each time I would have to depress the gas to get the engine going and if I release the gas, the engine would die. The engine sounds like it's running out of gas and just die. The strange part is if I can get the car in gear and drive with the gas applied for about one block, the engine would return to normal. This can be dangerous since I have to depress the gas and brake at the same time so the vehicle would stay in control. I went to the dealer and they hooked up some kind of computer to the car and they said they were unable to find any problem. The Accord is a nice car but this constant engine-starting problem needs to be addressed.
