Power train, driveline, driveshaftJun 19, 2025
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013 Honda Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission. The affected vehicles were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The driveshaft may corrode and break, due to damage from road salt or other contaminants.
A broken driveshaft can result in a loss of drive power, or a vehicle rollaway when the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Dealers will inspect and replace the driveshaft assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 11, 2025. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is OM2. This recall expands previous recall number 20V769.

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission that were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts' protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.
A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing both the left and right drive shafts, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2021. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE OF PARKED VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN KEY WAS TURNED. TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START CAR EACH TIME. STARTER HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED.

SINCE PURCHASE IN 2017. WE HAVE HAD TO GET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE MULTIPLE TIMES TO JUMP THE BATTERY BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. WE HAVE SPOKE TO HONDA THAT PERHAPS THIS VIN# VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON A RECALL...BUT NOT INCLUDED ON A THE 11/8/17 KGO RECALL. WE THEN TURN TO LOCAL PEPBOYS TO DO A 1ST DIAGNOSTIC ON 10/2/2018 AND SHOWED DAMAGED BATTERY AND SO WE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND THEN 2 WEEKS LATER ON 11/2/18 HAD TO HAVE TWO JUMP STARTS THAT WEEK AND WE RETURNED TO PEPBOYS FOR A 2ND DIAGNOSTICS THAT PINPOINTED SOMETHING CAUSING BATTERY DAMAGE. INSTALLED A NEW 2ND BATTERY WHICH BRINGS US TO WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY. IN CONCLUSION, WE ARE FEARFUL AS WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND PARK AND WORRY THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE LEFT STRANDED SOME WHERE WHEN WE GO TO CRANK VEHICLE OR WORSE A FIRE DUE TO SOME ELECTRICAL SHORT. WE BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE A VOUCHER TO TAKE VEHICLE TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AT THEIR COST TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE SINCE THEY SHOULD KNOW THEIR VEHICLE THE BEST.

ISSUE WITH PUSH BUTTON START. STARTED EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PUSHING BUTTON, CAR WON'T START. TYPICALLY HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN AND CAR STARTS. NOW, HOWEVER, IT IS TAKING A FEW TO SEVERAL TIMES OF PUSHING THE START BUTTON FOR CAR TO START. THIS CAN HAPPEN AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A MINUTE TO OVERNIGHT. THERE IS NO PATTERN. I'VE SEEN THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OWNERS OF THE '13 HONDA ACCORD WHEN I LOOK ONLINE. WHY HASN'T HONDA TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY & ISSUED A RECALL. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU GET STUCK SOMEWHERE & CAR WON'T START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER AN HOUR BUT FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE STARTER NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER HOLLER HONDA (2211 N SEMORAN BLVD, ORLANDO, FL 32807 (877)-872-9906) WAS CONTACTED AND A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,774.

AT 61XXX MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO NO LONGER START RELIABLY. SOMETIMES I WOULD PUSH THE START BUTTON AND IT WOULD START NORMALLY AND SOMETIMES I WOULD JUST HEAR A SINGLE CLICK BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START IT WOULD SOMETIMES START IF YOU RETRIED IT, BUT USUALLY IT WOULD ONLY RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE PUSHES OF THE START BUTTON. SOME DAYS I COULD NOT START IT AFTER 20 OR MORE ATTEMPTS. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED I DROVE IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC'S SHOP AND LEFT IT FOR THEM TO DEAL WITH. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD STARTER, REPLACED THE STARTER AND NOW IT WORKS OK. I HAD TESTED THE CAR BATTERY AND IT HAD 13.6 VOLTS. I TESTED THE KEY FOB BATTERIES AND THEY HAD WELL OVER THEIR ADVERTISED 3V . I READ THE HONDA ACCORD FORUMS AND FOUND MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE 6TH HONDA I HAVE OWNED AND NEVER REPLACED A STARTER ON ANY OF THEM - 3 OR 4 OF THEM HAVE GONE NEARLY 200K MILES WITH NO STARTER PROBLEM. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORTED BAD STARTERS IN THE FIRST 75000 MILES I WOULD HAVE TO SAY HONDA, WAS EITHER TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BY USING CHEAP STARTERS OR HAS A BAD SUPPLIER FOR THEIR STARTERS. WHATEVER IT IS, THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IND SOME VERY INCONVENIENT AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

I OWN A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE POWER STEERING (EPS) WILL GO OFF RANDOMLY. IN THE PAST WEEK IT WENT OFF ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES PER DAY. IT WILL SHUT OFF EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS DAILY.

I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ABOUT 15 TIMES DUE TO MY CAR NOT STARTING AND HAVING SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ON. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE COMPLETED ALL THE NECESSARY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THUS SAME ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM IS STARTING TO DIMINISH MY QUALITY OF LIFE. I HAVE TO WORK FOR A LIVING AND NOT HAVING A RELIABLE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE OR MISS WORK. HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE RELIABLE VEHICLES BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR ME. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED, MY VEHICLE WAS OFF AND STATIONARY. I WANT TO STRESS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES AND I WISH I HAD STUMBLED ON THIS SITE THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE LOGGED EACH INCIDENT. IT DOES NOT FEEL GOOD TO BE STRANDED WITH A BROKEN VEHICLE.

BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE END OF ITS 3 YEAR WARRANTY 2 YEARS AGO. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER AND BATTERY REPLACED (09/16). CAR BEGAN NOT STARTING WHEN THE PUSH BUTTON IS ENGAGED, STARTER WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN (03/18). NOW IN SEPTEMBER THE CAR BEGAN TAKING 5 OR 6 PRESSES OF THE START BUTTON TO START. DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY (09/18). ONE WEEK LATER THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN AND THE STARTER WAS REPLACED AGAIN (10/18).

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. IN OCTOBER 2016 I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE REPAIR WAS DONE AS PER WARRANTY EXTENTION 15-056. THE CAR HAD 51693 MILES. I NOW HAVE 75000 MILE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 TIMES WITHIN ABOUT 20 MINUTES. I READ A REPORT THAT THE NHTSA DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DECREASING IN FREQUENCY AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH EARLY EQUIPMENT THAT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

MULTIPLE TIMES, WHILE DRIVING, MY POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TURN THE WHEEL. I HAD TO PULL OVER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND RESTART MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING.

Vehicle speed control, Sep 20, 2018, crash
I WAS IN A PARKING LOT TRYING TO PARK MY CAR IN A SPOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AT A NORMAL PRESSURE, THE CAR JUST STARTED ACCELERATING AND DID NOT STOP. I FIRST SLIGHTLY HIT A CAR WHICH HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES AND TRIED TO SHIFT GEARS TO MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN WHICH COULD HELP STOP THE CAR. IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND IN ORDER TO AVOID A CLIFF, I VEERED TO THE RIGHT AFTER PASSING ABOUT 30 PARKED CARS AND HIT AN EMBANKMENT WITH A TREE ON IT. MY CAR CRASHED INTO A PARKED LEXUS SUV WHICH THEN WAS LIFTED AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT AND HIT ANOTHER PARKED CAR. THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT AND THE CAR STOPPED. MY WIFE AND I AND OTHER PEOPLE COULD HAVE DIED IF THERE WERE ANY PEDESTRIANS IN THE PARKING LOT. WE BOTH HAVE MANY LIFE THREATENING INJURIES AND CANNOT DRIVE DUE TO THOSE FOR A LONG TIME. IN ADDITION WE ARE NOW QUITE FRIGHTENED. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL AND I COULD NOT STOP IT.

I HAD ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES THAT THE CAR DOESN'T START AT FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. THOSE TIMES, I HAD TO TRY FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. NOW I THINK OF IT IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER REPLACING THE RECALLED PART, BATTERY SENSOR ON 3/23/2018. ON 9/10/2018, I TRIED SO MANY TIME TO START THE CAR BUT HAD TO TOWED TO HONDA DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK. NEXT DAY, I WAS TOLD THE STARTER NEEDED THE STARTER REPLACEMENT COSTING $850, AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 35600 MILES ON IT.

I SEE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL? LOOKS LIKE THERE WERE ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP YESTERDAY, PAID $160- NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING LIKE THIS. PLEASE RESPOND.

FAULTY STARTER: HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. INCREASINGLY, IT HAS TAKEN MORE THAN ONE TIME TO START THE CAR. AT TIMES IT HAS TAKEN MORE THAN 8 TIMES PUSHING THE "PUSH-TO-START" BUTTON TO GET THE CAR TO START. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN A KNOW ISSUE FOR HONDA FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IT COST ME ~$650 TO REPLACE THE STARTER.

WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING FAILS AND BECOMES DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 10 SEPARATE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AND ONCE WAS ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 75 MPH AND ANOTHER WHILE TRAVELING AT 50 MPH, BOTH OF WHICH CAUSED ME TO NEARLY LOSE CONTROL AS I WAS CHANGING LANES. ALL OTHER INSTANCES OCCURRED WHILE MAKING SLOW SPEED TURNS. SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING USUALLY RESET THE SYSTEM BUT LAST FRIDAY THE STEERING FAILED AGAIN AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESET, GOING ON 5 DAYS NOW. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AS A FAULTY POWER STEERING RACK UNIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS CONCERN AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES HAVE EXHIBITED THE SAME PROBLEM.

CAR CLICKS BEFORE STARTING, CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, STEERING LOCKS WHEN CAR CUTS OFF. I DRIVE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO THE LIVES OF MYSELF, FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. SPEED VARIES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SOMETIMES IT OCCURS FROM A COLD OR WARMED START.

"TAKATA RECALL". (LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY CAN CAUSE THESE AIRBAGS TO EXPLODE WHEN DEPLOYED) MY HORN LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL CONSTANTLY BLARES WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND STATIONARY. THIS ISSUE COMES AND GOES AND THE DEALERSHIP "HONDA WORLD" LOCATED IN DOWNEY, CA. REFUSES TO INSPECT THE ISSUE. THEY TELL ME THE PROBELM NEEDS TO OCCUR FOR THEM TO INSPECT THE ISSUE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 05/2016 THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURES IN THE SUMMER TIME NOT THE WINTER WHICH TELLS ME IT'S BEING CAUSED BY HEAT. BECAUSE THE AIRBAG IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED ASAP. I HAVE VIDEOS ON MY CELL PHONE CAMERA AS PROOF.
