American Honda motor co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain model year2013 Accord vehicles. In certain vehicles, the plastic caseof the battery sensor may have gaps that allow moisture to enter the sensor. If moisture containing conductive substances (such as road salt) enters the battery sensor, it could cause an electrical short and subsequently, a fire. Recall date: June 29, 2017. So far no action has been taken. Now fall season is about to happen. I am concerning about safety of my vehicle about electrical short circuit result in fire. I checked with Honda dealer last week. He said parts are not available to replace it.

My 2013 Honda Accord has an automatic starter and the starter has not been working properly. The vehicle has just over 50K miles on it. When you press the automatic started the vehicle appears to power on but the starter is not working. Each time this happened, it would take 5-10 minutes before it actually starts.

- Westport, MA, USA

For the past year the car has failed to start intermittently. The only way I've found to get it started is to use an external battery jump. Even then that also fails about a third of the time, though waiting some time enables the jump to work. The dealer says it is "probably" the starter and wants $1,000 to fix it. The problem began at about 40,000 miles and the starter should not fail at that age.

My car is 2013 Accord bought brand new from gardena Honda and no other mechanic touched it. Since 2013, I have serviced my car at the same location. My car was perfectly fine however, once I received the battery recall letter I decided to take my car into gardena Honda. Please note my car still has less than 30,000 miles on it. August 2017 I went to get my car checked for the battery recall they said everything was fine and that they applied konshi bond to protect bms. Two days later after work my car did not start (stationary). Check engine was on, check steering light on & traction light on plus low pressure on. I immediately felt unsafe to drive my car but had to take it back to Honda to see what they had done to it. Honda said it was not their fault and that now the problem had nothing to do with my battery. Instead, it was my engine wire harness. That needed to be fixed for a price of ~$2,800 but they could lower it to $669.15 + tax I just want to express how disappointed I am in Honda. I bought a Honda because they are supposed to be a reliable car. Back in March 2016 they told me by battery failed the battery test and decided to charge it. November 2016, they made me buy a new battery, at that time my car was still brand new with only 22,000 miles on it. I don't believe this is coincidence. I got a Honda for reliability reasons. I also know you are not supposed to service the car for the same issue 3 times and I shouldn't be concern of my 2013 Honda car that still has less than 30,000 miles of any electrical issues. I am concern of service fraud because I was charge to recharged and replace the battery. One time I was within warranty and the other was just a few months afterward. I am requesting a reimbursement of some manner; it can be monetary or free servicing my car.

Every time I try to start my car it won't start. I have to try maybe 4 or more times before it will start. This is very frustrating because this car is 3 years old. When I'm at work and go to start the car it stags. This is very disturbing. This probably happens everyday. Everything is on but it still takes many attempts to start. I contacted Honda about this problem and they said they have been getting many complaints but didn't offer a solution, said they would get back with me. Reading other complaints I think this need to be addressed.

Sometimes when the key is turned, nothing happens. The car won't start. I took it to the dealer 16 Aug 2017. They wanted to change the starter. I said no. This is a car with less than 50,000 miles. Sometimes I need to turn the key several times before it starts or cranks or does anything. Dealer also said it wouldn't start with them.

- Old Town, FL, USA

Intermittent starting issues, push start button, car makes grinding noises and clicking, brake then locks down to the floor. After repeated attempts to push button, car will eventually start..this is an intermittent problem, has occured at least 6 times in past 4 months. Does not happen all the time. Have had car to Honda dealer for diagnostic, they cannot find problem but state there has been multiple complaints from other Honda consumers. This issue has no certain time of happening, has occured on a cold and warm start. I never know when car will start or not. Taking car back to Honda service next week to try to diagnose again.

- Shippensburg, PA, USA

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 Accord, 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 "Honda"...first time it fail to start was at 54K miles.

- Santee, CA, USA

The I4 engine will not start intermittently. The battery is new and fully charged. Many times, I get it started by straightening the steering wheel. The car is 4 years old with 51K miles so outside of warranty. The dealer wants a diagnostic fee to test other components. This is potentially dangerous to consumers for the electrical component but also a consumer hazard in terms of safety not to mention T reputational risk to Honda.

- Geneva, IL, USA

Vehicle has had to be towed twice in the past four months due to failure to start, only clicking sound. Before completely unable to start, I would have to try 3 or more times for it to start. First time I changed the battery an vehicle was ok for a while but then started failing to start intermittently and would only start after several attempts. I do not mind replacing the starter but it bothers me because the vehicle is only 3-4 year old and believe replacing the starter may not fix the problem in the long run as it would have to be replaced with the same starters that are failing. Please help. Thanks.

- Cypress, TX, USA

There are many many complaints on line about the starters on the 2013 Honda Accord - but Honda still has not made a recall"? this is an expensive part to replace and they are not helping anyone" I am afraid I will get stuck somewhere and my car will not start - but it is almost one thousand dollars to get it repaired!!!! I have to crank it many times before it will start. The one shop made me get a new battery - but that did not make any difference. I feel like I will get stranded somewhere unsafe!
