This was no surprise as I was having issues and found (on this site) numerous people having the same problem. NOW, less then a year from the power steering incident, I'm told yesterday my starter needs to be replaced to the tune on $800. WHY NO RECALLS? Guess they're waiting for someone to die first. Yes, they are aware of this problem and fixed if for free. When the power steering went, I bitched to corporate as well as my local Honda dealer. All in a car that is less then 5 years old and has less then 55K on it. First my battery goes when I have less then 30K on the car then a terrifying experience when my power steering goes out while I'm out driving (clients in the car as I'm a real estate agent) and now my starter. I have a 2013 Honda Accord V6 purchased new in 2013. You'd think Honda mechanics would be aware of this and a fix would be shared. They knew there have been issues, but absolutely no help offered & no suggestions for what to tell the mechanics to look for (guess that would be acknowledging the problem is with their crappy parts!)Д¬alled my local general non-Honda mechanic & he said I pretty much just have to wait for the car to die while I'm out and about, then have it jumped or towed to a shop. I called Honda Corporate some months back - no recall, no suggestion for a fix. I press the starter again without brake press to turn off the aux power, try again to start with brake pressed and it usually does start. It's like the car doesn't know the brake is being pressed & therefore turns on the aux power instead. But recently, even though I have the steering wheel centered and brake pedal can be pushed easily, I can still have the start problem. I'd try to pull the wheel back to the center & stomp hard on the brake. The brake pedal would be very hard to press when this start-failure occurred. I can't reproduce this at will, so I figure there's little point taking it to a mechanic until I have to tow it in.ДЄt first I thought the problem was because I had left the wheels turned sharply left or right. Sometimes the starter makes a horrible sound like maybe I'm trying to start the car but the engine is already on, but it definitely isn't. Rarely at first, but then more frequently now - like every 3rd start - the auxiliary power comes on but the engine doesn't turn over. Same starter problem many have described has been happening to me for over a year.
