When pushing start button the engine would make a grinding screeching noise. At 34,000 miles starter was replaced. Now at 70,000 miles same noise is coming again from engine. Seems to be a common issue with v6 models. There is a service bulletin 16-002 for this issue however after addressing the issue once already it seems to be a reoccurring issue.

Upon start up, all the lights on the dashboard lit up. Fcw failure noted on the digital display. Acceleration non existent in this state. Several restarts (34 was the max), no lights on the dash. Car ran fine. Dealer diagnosed it as a timing chain that had expanded. Seems to be fixed. (only been two days). I think it is a major safety issue because the lack of power could manifest itself at any time. Imagine getting…

Car in the morning hesitates just pulling out of its parking space. Put the car in reverse and it won't move. Put it in drive and same issue. It seems as if it's trying to warm up maybe? When it does start moving, it runs at 5-10 mph at 3k rpms. I let it roll slowly and after a few minutes it starts to drive normal. Going uphill, i experience a similar issue where the car is running at very high rpms at low speeds.…

I am the original owner of a 2013 honda accord, ex-l,. My honda has 42k miles. At about 25k miles my accord started to make a very obvious and disturbing droning/humming noise at speeds above 40 mph. The noise became progressively louder as time went by. I brought the car to my local honda dealer 2 times and asked them to fix the problem, to no avail. After having new tires installed at 42k miles, and the droning…

A few months ago, my 2013 honda accord sport with 42k miles became hesitant to start. A turn of the key and i just heard clicks , after 3-5 tries it usually started on up. The problem progressed, yet i continued to "make due", i started putting the car in neutral to start it, and even had to be jumped off a few times. Eventually in early february my battery went bad, and i purchased a new one. On march 12,2016 my…

In november 2015 and again in january 2016 i was slowing down to move into a parking space (once in a parking lot and another on a side street) when my car had a sudden jolt of power. Fortunately, because i was going at a slower speed i was able to immediately hit the brake and come to a stop, but both times it was within inches of hitting the vehicle in front of me. The jolt was sudden and is not the same surge of…

The car is fine after about a minute. My car now has 45,000 miles but…
