I got a 2013 accord 2.4 349,000 miles. I do all the maintenance n repair myself. I bought this car used 2 years old with 67,000 miles. Ive been changing my oil @ every 7500 miles full synthetic. It only started burning oil @300,000. I do top off the oil with about a quart around 5,000 so i can make it to 7,500. I drive around 37,000 miles a year. I change my tranny fluid every 75,000. Its the best car ive ever had. One interesting part that i had to replace was the engine coolant pipe that started leaking at the lower o ring at @ 270,000 miles.

I have a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L bought in 2022 with 55k miles, I’m now at 115k. Only problem I had is with the front brakes. Took me three different times to find brakes that don’t squeak. Yes I tried OEM first. Other than that change your oil every 5K after around 70K miles and please make sure you change the transmission fluid at least every 30k. Otherwise your car will drive rough and will stutter sometimes when you accelerate from a stop. These are great cars my friend has the same year with 830k on it.

Been seeing a lot of these on the road with the V6 lately. But my brother has a 2014 2.4L/CVT that I’ve been taking care of since new (now at 197,000 miles). I perform all maintenance on the car religiously and it’s holding up perfectly. I did just replace all rotors with fancy slotted/drilled units because the originals warped. & about the only other issue the car had was it needed a brand new cabin A/C fan ($40 for a new one & 10min to replace). Two things I’m truly impressed of is just how durable and smooth Honda’s CVT is. & the engine doesn’t seem to have carbon build up on the intake valves… shocking because it’s Direct Injected only. Damn thing is still running smooth as the day she was driven off the lot.

For the CVT, I changed the fluid when it had 60k on it and even though it’s recommended every 30k miles I’m planning to do it when I have 80k miles on the ODO so basically every 20k to be on the safe side. But other than that, it’s been a great car, still on the original brakes and rotors, still has the OEM rims and original LED headlight assembly.

I have a 2013 EX CVT with 98,000 miles that has been trouble free. One common issue is the soft paint that is prone to swirls, chips, and fading.

Thanks so much. Great info. Sounds very reliable overall, I was a bit worried about the CVT when they were first put in the accords. What about the direct injection fouling the valves or issues w/ EGR?

[@BCautosolutions]

Thanks, yeah overall they are probable my favorite gen and most reliable accord. There is carbon building on the intake side of things but no injector or valve failures. There is no egr system on this engine. The egr “effect” is achievable through the use of variable cam timing.

@hondamobilemachine Great video, very informative. I would appreciate some help. I have a rough / low idle with some throttle hesitation situation with my 2013 2.4L sport 4D (more pronounced with cold weather). There are no codes or any misfires and the rough / low idle only happens at stop light with the car in drive. I’ve changed the plugs and the upstream O2. I cleaned the throttle body, maf sensor, and pvc valve. Does this sound like a vacuum leak? Could it be a bad coil? I would appreciate your feedback.

[@BCautosolutions]

Did you relearn the throttle body position after cleaning it? Usually a vacuum leak would cause a high idle.

[@NJrulz2020]

I first drove the car for about 600 miles hoping the throttle would relearn. The car drove awful but got better by the end of the road trip. After that, I used a vice grip and clamped both the positive and negative battery cable together for 10 min with all accessories off. Then I reconnected and let the engine idle util the fan cycled twice. Read online that that would reset the TP?? FYI I did a valve cleaning and through codes because I did it through the intake after the maf sensor (I used the brake vacuum after I through those codes which cleared soon after). Do you think the throttle body is bad? Thank you for your time.

I’ve decided I’m either going to wait until I have an issue. (It either affects the engine or it doesn’t, no in between with dirty valves.

I have a '15 Accord Sport. Only issue I've had is the starter failed at 48K miles which was disappointing. Other than that it's been a great car. What is your opinion on changing the CVT fluid at around 30-35K miles? I've been doing that as a precaution because it seems CVT's don't have the best reputation. Keep up the great videos!

Yeah they are generally great cars and my favorite accord. 30-35k trans service intervals are more then welcomed by me 💪🏼

I have a 17 Accord Hybrid 85k miles with the newer 2 motor system. I have a driveline shudder around 45 and 52 mph, whenever the power train is trying to switch over from charging to full EV mode. Do you see a lot of these hybrids coming in with the issue? My car was running perfect til one day it started doing it and hasn’t really gone away. I’m running stock tire size, all fluid levels good and was serviced about a month prior. Only thing I haven’t checked was 12V battery. Dealer tech looked at it and found nothing wrong with the car other than the tires being a little old. I put brand new ones on and the issue never went away.

[@scottsettegast582]

My wife has a 2014 2.4 earthdreams LX with 198,000 miles on it. She got it it in 2018 and I’ve made sure the oil changes were either being done at a shop or by myself regularly within the 3-5k mile window. It recently just started to show a cylinder 3 misfire and it’s stayed on even after replacing all the spark plugs, coil packs, and cylinder 2 and 3 injectors. The traction control light and power steering light just recently came on as well but no ABS light and we just had the VSA module replaced a few months ago at the dealership. Any idea what could still be causing the misfire? It idles rough and goes into limp mode so theres definitely a misfire of some type. I’ve also checked compression and got 180PSI in all cylinders.

[@BCautosolutions]

My first suspicion would be valve clearances are out of whack. I would probably look there next. I would be able to tell by looking at map value data list fully warmed up and no loads. Map should read under .90v and steady. If it’s not, chances are your valves are too tight. It’s also good common practice to relearn crank pattern after repairing a misfire as ecus sometimes can learn bad habits. Good luck.

[@dcrtse]

Do you know of any issues in a 2016 Honda Accord Sport that causes the A/C not to turn on at times or to have a low output of air even though it's on high? Let me clarify about the A/C not turning on. The power is on but no air is blowing. After about 5-10 minutes (it can sometimes be less or more) while driving, the air/blower will finally start blowing air through the vents. I'm thinking it could be the blower motor relay, the blower motor resistor, or the blower motor itself. Any advice would be appreciated.

Interesting! I didn’t know this happened to the Accords also. I have the same thing with my CR-V and this was the response from Honda: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHatZWitjZ6smas (essentially it’s a feature of the car). It’s annoying and I’ve read it has to do with the idle at around 625-650 rpm once the engine is at operating temperature. The vibration is caused from what I believe are the motor mounts and direct injection. Owners can flick on the lights, turn on the ac/heat or move the steering wheel. I generally just turn up the AC to get some drag on the engine which helps. People also idle in neutral but that’s not a good idea.
