What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated that after parking and exiting the vehicle to open a gate, the vehicle unexpectedly began to move. While attempting to open the driver's side door, the owner fell, and her left foot became trapped under the vehicle. The rear tire rolled over her foot, but she managed to free herself by wiggling her foot out of her sock and shoe. The owner then drove herself to the hospital, where she received medical treatment for knee and heel injuries.
Starter failure described in honda's TSB 16-002. Car exhibited a grinding noise upon trying to start. It would fail to start. This was an intermittent problem. Honda finally replaced the starter but was unwilling to warranty the known problem. A year later I am having the same problem.
