My 2013 honda accord ex-l has been having intermittent starting problems (push button start). This starting happening approximately three weeks ago. Yesterday, july 14, 2016, the car would not start at all. This is not a car battery issue because all electrical components are working, i.e. Radio, dash lights, horn etc. This also is not a key fob battery issue because the key fob still locks and unlocks the door. Car…

I went to crank my car, which was perfectly fine yesferday , and it wont turn over and there are several lights on and clicking and blinking. I thought it might be the battery and tried to jump it off and nothing changed. A symbol that looks like a steering wheel and exclamation point, low tire light, brake light, and skid control symbols were all on.

Push button start is acting up. At times when you push button to start the car it only clicks, after a few tries the car will start. I have seen several complaints on this. Honda has admitted to an issue with the v6 model but not the v4 model that is having the same issue

I changed the battery to a stronger cranking one and it did not fix it although now it will start eventually after several tries. I have tested the alternator and it passed. Next is the starter but honda changed its location and placed it under the motor. I submitted links from a honda forum to this website documenting many others…

My 2013 accord is having problems with the push start button. Three separate times in one week our car had trouble starting. It would make a sound of hesitation before starting for 3-5 seconds. We had the battery replaced this past winter. We took the car to our local honda dealer for a check on the electrical and starting systems. They could not find anything wrong. We might have to wait for the car to not start in…

Keyless fob has two times opened all four windows and sun roof while in my pants pocket a couple of inches. The last time on april 11, 2016 it rained two inches and the car was left in the rain. The following morning the car would not start . The lights on the dash were flickering like crazy. You can not tell the sun roof is open because the sliding cover is closed. I think honda should remove this feature that…

My family and i were stranded due to our 2013 honda accord not starting. We just came out of the movies and the car was stationary in the parking lot. I turned the key and it would just click. I had to pay for towing and over $800 to have the starter replaced at the honda dealer. It would have been more, but i called another dealer and they price matched the starter. I drive a lot of mile to work so i have over 60k…
