When trying to start, it makes a clicking sound, doesn't turn over and the dashboard lights flicker. Replaced the battery, but didn't help. Sometimes, after several attempts, it may start, but not usually. Went on "honda blog" and found several same type of complaints. Some believe it may be a starter defect.

I purchased new a 2013 honda accord 4 cyl in august 2013 which had the battery sensor replaced at 26,010 miles in october 2017. Shortly thereafter, i started experiencing an intermittent starting problem. When i turn the key, the dash lights turn on as normal, but the engine does not turn over or even crank. While this does not happen all the time, it happens frequently and it can take between 2-6 tries before it…

I have been monitering my oil level consumption and for about 3 different oil changes (6200-6400 mile intervals). My dash shows 40% oil life remaining but when i check the dipstick there is no oil on it at all. It's bone dry. Took the car in for a diagnosis and there are no signs or leaks either. The car is burning through 5 quarts of oil. When asked honda they say this is normal. I have never experienced this in…

My 2013 honda accord sport experienced engine starting problem. Sometimes it took 3 or 4 times to turn the key to get the car started. I took the car to the sunnyvale honda dealer for diagnostic and they told me it was the starter problem. It costs me $936 to replace the starter including parts and labor. I can't believe that my car is only about 4 years old with less than 40k mileage having the starter issue that…

Bought 2013 honda accord sedan sport on 06/13. I just reached the 32000miles and my starter is slipping and causing me to turn the ignition a few times before it starts. I strongly believe there may be a fault on the product or installation of part.

At times the car will not start when the ignition key is turned. It will start on the second turn. On 11/17/2017 , it did not start on the second try. I called for a tow truck . The driver arrived and after turning the key multiple times , the car started. He stated that it is the starter and to have it checked.

Takata recall. I was checking under the hood of my honda and i checked my oil level and there was not a drop of oil in the engine. I didnt know why this was so i changed the oil fast to prevent the engine from damaging. Now 1400 miles after my oil change the engine is half way dry of oil. My car is a 2013 honda accord with only 42000 miles on it, it should not be burning oil.

Since last fall, engine does start only after multiple tries of pushing the button. Lately we need a lot more tries before starting the car. Based on the symptoms on file, it looks like it is the starter.

For the last month i have to put the vehicle key into the ignition 4-7 times to start the vehicle. Today, i took my vehicle to pep boys auto parts in el paso, tx and they diagnosed the vehicle having problems with the starter.

Excessive oil consumption: i have a 2013 honda accord with 74,000 miles. I purchased the extended warranty package at time of purchase. The accord engine has started using oil. At the last oil change there was only 1 quart of oil left in the engine. Consumption testing did not show 1 quart/1,000 miles so nothing was done by honda.

My 2013 honda accord ex started experiencing problems with intermittent starting around 45,000 miles. The dealership is aware of the starter problem, but charged me over $800 to repair it with a new starter button. I was told without repair this problem would get worse till the car would not start at all.
