After service at honda service station at rosenberg, tx... I had issues with the temperature sensor in the front of the grill, also a code showed up 2 days later, along with check engine light... When scanned it was "p0420"... Was wondering if, the mechanics while cleaning, used water under pressure to clean, and during the cleaning, did they flood my exhaust... "creating business?""

Along several others, i began having the intermittent starting problems on my 2013 2.4 l accord at around 60,000 miles. This type of starter uses a solenoid to move the starter motor's pinion gear forward to mesh with the flywheel's ring gear while simultaneously pulling the plunger and its copper contact disc onto the battery contact and the starter motor contact to complete the circuit from the battery to the…

I think this might be my 3rd complaint, i love honda and have had honda cars for years, but this has really tested my patience. For the last 4 years i have gone through 3 starters and 2 alternators, every time i contact honda they tell me to drop the car off so they can test it, i pay them $130 so they can tell me what they already know. My problem is that starter issue is very common, and there is no long term fix…

This problem started two years ago and got worse in may. It all started whe we had a rough time starting the vehicle it would take up to 6 time until the car would finally start. We were told it was the battery so we changed the batter up to four time and it still kept having starting issues so then we were told it was the starter so we had it replaced and we are still having issues and now the car stalled on me…

In early 2019, after my honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, i began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 honda accord. Sometimes, my car starts right away. But more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature. When repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, i hear a 'clicking' type noise when i press the start button,…

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…

Vehicle has excessive oil consumption which has caused the vehicle to run out of oil in between oil changes. This has now damaged other vehicle parts like catalytic converter.

Two nights ago i was driving on i-75 back home from work , i was going speed limit 70-75 mph and the car suddenly started "bogging down", didn't want to go above 30 mph and a number of dash lights were on: service engine, power steering, tire pressure and maybe traction control. I turn off the car, turn it back on, and the lights still on. I drive short distance home at 25-30 mph. The following morning i looked at…

At 5 years old my honda accord will now only start on the first time about 50% of the time. This started about a month ago. The interior lights and radio all power on but the car will not turn over. Sometimes it takes me several times/minutes to start. I had to change my battery $176 & now the key fobs too and this still occurred. This has 411,000 results if googled. This is very common although honda continues to…

So just like all the other complaints, my car won't start every time i hit the starter button. After i press it it makes a really loud whining sound, i am currently on my 3rd replacement starter, and 2nd alternator. I think it's crazy, after all these complains everywhere that nothing has been done. I gave honda the benefit of the doubt, because of their history of reliability, but this is too much. I need a new…

Starter failed, and we were stranded at the new market post office for an hour. The battery is good, but honda mechanic said the starter is failing. We replaced the starter engine, and the car starts up good every time. It cost $515 to replace starter engine. Honda refused to pay for defect, because the car is past warranty.

I got no warning and the car would start and then die. I looked on the net and this problem has happened with other honda's. I had run an errand and wasn't gone longer than 5 minutes.-
