2014 HONDA ACCORD Engine Problems

While driving the car at approx 45mph on a busy roadway the vehicle suddenly accelerated heavily I tried applying the breaks but the pedal did not go down and had no affect of slowing the vehicle. I was forced to swerve around several vehicles to avoid a collision then just as suddenly the car returned to normal operation. The duration on the incident was approx 5 to 10 seconds. Very dangerous and very scary.

Cylinder 2 scorned to sever to fix

Oil leaking on to spark plugs

I own a 2014 Honda Accord with the 2.4L engine, which has a well-documented oil consumption defect. Recently, I discovered that my engine was nearly dry and required approximately 60 ounces of oil just to bring the dipstick reading to the midpoint between the “low” and “full” marks. The car had been idling roughly at cold start, and the check engine light flickered briefly, which I now understand was due to oil starvation. This condition creates a serious safety hazard because sudden oil loss can lead to engine misfires, stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential damage to the catalytic converter. This is not an isolated incident — thousands of Accord owners from the same model years have reported excessive oil consumption, and Honda has issued technical service bulletins acknowledging the defect. Despite this, no recall has been issued and many affected owners are left to continually top off oil or risk engine damage. I believe this should be investigated as a widespread safety defect, as many drivers may not realize their cars are burning oil until the engine is dangerously low.

Just last week my engine started making a rattling sound from the bottom of the engine. This Honda has been properly maintained at the dealership and never gave any warning signs or symptoms. Now my mechanic says its the crankshaft and bearings. The check engine light turned on and the code was P0300.

I am a huge Honda fan and I’ve only owned Accords and I have friends with the same body style Accord as mine. Every last one of us have failed or malfunctioning ABS modules as well as continuous catalytic converter issues. I have exhausted my bank account and the issue still presents itself. Due to the failure of the converter, my car is now stalling only when the AC is running in the vehicle. I feel these issues are common and a true safety do driving due to stalling and ABS braking malfunctions.

I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L with not even 62,000 miles. When we purchased the car we got the extended warranty, thinking Honda would stand by their product. Not true. After the first month we had to have the battery replaced. Fast forward a few years and we were told we needed a new battery”wire harness” at a cost of over $2,000. Now it is 2025 and the backup camera only works when the turn signal is used; it remains a black screen when put into reverse. Add to that what is apparently a major problem with other Honda owners. When we go to start the car, we get nothing. The CAR DOESN’T START. Thinking that the key fob needed a battery, we replaced them with new batteries. It continues to be a problem. I have a fear I will be out one day and it will not start completely. I see that I am not the only person complaining of this and feel that Honda should issue a recall for the Accord addressing this problem. I feel that I may become stranded one day and this seems to be a SAFETY ISSUE.

Was driving to work on April 11,2025. Engine stopped working after stopping at red light, all lights on dash came on-causing me to have to push the car from a main road into a business in order to not impede traffic or get hit. Had to have it towed to a body shop. Waiting to see what is wrong with the car, will update with more information as I have it.

My 2014 Honda has been have 2 major issues over the life of the vehicle. 1. VTC Actuator - prior to the oil indicator light coming on and the time to change the oil, my car screams out a loud consistent noise. I have reported this concern to Team Honda in Baton Rouge on numerous occasions. The most recent repost was on [XXX]. I am concerned my engine will fail or explode. 2. Tires Light Indicator (See Pictures) My tires were check on [XXX] and I spent almost $300 on a new tire. The same light which were on on that day came back on. All 4 of my tires were checked out and 3 out of 4 of them were in good condition. This has also been an ongoing issue. The tire light random come on, then the other 5 (all related) flashed an the dashboard. My first time experiencing this was less than a month after getting my vehicle but the tires was still covered under warranty at that time. By these lights coming on during non-emergencies, the consumer can not identify when the vehicle actually needed to be serviced. Both has been ongoing and reported for years and fed up with these issues. I am surprised they have not issued a recall yet! Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from a Honda representative very soon. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

After a cold start, when trying to accelerate to merge onto street the engine dies. Also sometimes engine or transmission jerks when speeding up or slowing down after letting off of gas or brakes.

I purchased this vehicle in January 2024. I've had to change the oils three times since then. This car is using an extreme amount of oil and it's not leaking anywhere. Today one month from my last oil change the car said it had a 30 percent oil life. I scheduled an appointment for this Tuesday but when my husband got home from work he said it sounded terrible. So this morning I get up and take it to my local Walmart for a full synthetic oil change and guess what? There was NO OIL in the car. 30 days after the last oil change and there is absolutely no oil in this car. Where is it going? After reading several sites I see this is a VERY common problem in this model year. The car hasn't even been driven 3000 miles in a month and it's out of oil? What am I suppose to do?

On [XXX] just after dark I picked up the car at Detroit at the motel airport parking and proceeded north on [XXX] to [XXX] when I noticed the red battery signal on the dash. A warning notice said Check charging system. By the time I reached [XXX] the dash lights and power steering went out as well as all the lights and emergency flashers. I coasted up the ramp and through a red light and the car stopped blocking South bound [XXX] . I called 911 they got me a tow to Fisher Honda in Ypsilanti Mi. The failure of a Alternator was the cause . We were unable to warn other cars and protect our car. We were lucky.

I got the transmission problem in my car. When I was in traffic, and try to accelerate, the car started jerking multiple times. This car suddenly jumps/jerks when I try to accelerate in the slope.

1. Starting System I have had trouble starting with the push button for about 3 weeks. It sometimes would take several tries before turning over. Most times, it would start in 1 – 2 attempts. It was worse this last week. I had to try more often, especially on Thursday night. I did not drive at all on Friday. On Saturday 7/1/23, I drove to the pharmacy less than < 1 mile. it did not start after dozens of tries after shopping. I walked home. Later, I had other errands taking our Odyssey. Back at the parking lot, I tried again dozens of times and it would not start. I tried moving the gears from park to neutral, trying to start it and going back again. I called AAA for a tow and called service department to let you know of the issue and the towing to the dealership. I had noticed that when pressing down on the brake pedal, the car started most often when the pedal went down easily. It would usually not start with the pedal being very stiff. 2. Warning Lights on dashboard On Thursday 6/30/23, the warning lights on the dashboard all lit up and stayed lit. The odometer message was FCW failed. I had this problem before which should be in the service history of the vehicle. That problem occurred in August, 2019 and beyond. The throttle assembly was ultimately replaced, and it worked fine after that until now. I had been advised by one of the service representatives to use Shell or Costco gas. I have done that for over 90% of the fill-ups. In the past, the system would reset itself. But several times, the car went into “Creep Mode” when the errors occurred. Once while crossing the border into Niagra Falls, Canada and on I-90 in rush hour traffic. 3.Stalling I have had several cases when the car stalled when idling at stop lights, in stop and go traffic or in reverse. I was nearly a hood ornament for an 18-wheeler in Columbia, SC in April. It stalled and took several attempts to start.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, an abnormal oil odor was detected while coming to a stop. No warning light was illuminated. Upon inspection, the contact noticed there was oil leaking from the engine. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 255,000.

I was on a busy highway, going uphill. The car suddenly decreased speed to 40 mph for about 60 seconds. The car then lost all acceleration with the gas engine still running. Dash warning said "Power system failure". I was able to maneuver the car to the side of the road and call AAA to have it towed to the Honda dealership. Dealership repair center was unable to find a problem.

This generation of Honda has known issue with the push start button to start the car. It sometimes take 3 to 4 or more attempts to start the car successfully. It has a grinding/whirring sound when the engine failed to start. I think it’s a clearance issue between the engine flywheel/torque converter and the starter motor that cause the engine failed to start. I strongly believe Honda should have a recall on this issue to resolve the clearance issue because it’s clearly the engineering design flaw on Honda.

1. The vehicle doesn’t accelerate and is available for inspection. 2. My safety and everyone around was compromised with the car failure on the freeway. 3. No. 4. No. 5. No.

I have been driving this car as my commuter car, oil changes been maintained. Suddenly started hearing knoking noise out of the engine compartment, finally I was able to diagnose the issue after reading on the internet it was the Connecting rod bearing that gave way.

The vehicles ABS control module has been an issue with this vehicle. This needs to be recalled because A bad ABS module can behave erratically, making your brakes lock up even under normal braking, compromising my families safety. It was confirmed today at the Honda Dealership, in which I questioned, “How does this happen to a vehicle with less than 100k miles? If this is a safety concern why isnt there a safety recall?” At that time, the representative became unaware why there wasn’t a recall. The vehicle has been inspected by Honda. Yes, the vehicle light sensors are produced: BRAKE LIGHT ABS LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL POWER STEERING ALL THAT COMPROMISE SAFETY. PLEASE ASSIST.

Several months ago, my Honda that has run very well up until now, started having problems with starting. I took it to Advance Auto and they thought it was the battery so I bought a new battery for over $200. That didn’t help. Then my husband noticed that the dashboard showed to push the brake, gas pedal and starter at the same time. That didn’t really help because sometimes it starts and sometimes doesn’t. We made an appointment at a local dealer where we purchased the car and the maintenance man suggested a new starter but reading through the complaints on here, that doesn’t always help. So he will cancel our appointment. With so many complaints on here about the car not starting, I think it’s your duty to come up with a resolution that works. Several times I have driven the car to places not near our home and the car won’t start. I think this is an unsafe condition and should be repaired!

For more than a year, my car has been having issues starting up. It rarely starts on the first attempt. It usually starts on the second attempt. There are times when it takes multiple attempts to start i have spent over $2000 ,replacing new battery, replacing new starter and after few weeks THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN today my car will NOT START and i cant get to work leaving me stranded in the middle of highway heading to work... THIS IS A LAWSUIT TO HONDA for NOT RECALLING AND FIXING the issue that THEY SOLD US BRAND NEW CARS WITH WELL KNOWN ISSUES i will contact my Family attorney since theres hundreds of others with the SAME ISSUES... obviously HONDA ISNT AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE .. NEVER EVER AGAIN HONDA IN MY FAMILY

My Honda Accord 2014 only has 55,5000 miles . For the last 3 months the starter is not working proper. In the last 3 months l had the battery changed, the rely switch changed. Still the problem was still there. Then a new started was installed on 1/ 18/22 . Many people with less miles are complaining about the started in their Honda Accord, and Honda is not recalling the starter. I am a single woman and l feel, l am, and everyone is being taken advantage of. My first and last Honda. I am shocked about the lack of service with Honda. My starter total cost with labor was almost $400.00

The car randomly doesnt want to start. Its not the only time its happen.It has happened at least 15 times and i had only had this car for like 4 months

Starter not working all the time. Will not start engine. Constantly doing oil changes. Battery replacements too often. Won’t start.

There are thousands for Honda Accord owners who bought model 2014 onwards have engine oil burning issue and mostly they ask to replace PCV Valve which does not make any difference even though you replace it or not. There are so many YouTube videos on it. I am also facing same issue. I bought used pre owned car , if I knew this issue I would have never bought that car. I have to change engine oil after every 1500 miles. Normally it’s best to replace engine oil after 3000-5000 miles. I will request NHTSA to take some action against Honda. It’s not for just my safety it’s about safety for all Honda Accord owners. Please do something

Vehicle fails to start on intermittent bases. Dangerous situations in extreme heat in AZ.

Engine has been consuming oil at high level. Just got my oil change at dealer and two weeks later my oil is low. There ain’t no oil leaks. This is an ongoing problem with these engine. I would like for Honda to fix there engine problem before some engine blows at the wrong situation causing a death. Also would like for a recall so it don’t happen to me. And also my oil light don’t even come on when the oil is low.

Honda accord 2014 exl 4door 60k miles Engine Starter issue going on. It looks like many 2014 accord users are having this issue. . My car has having intermediate startup cranks almost every day and starts after few attempts . I would like to file a compliant against this alleged defect for honda engine starter defect.

The car does not start consistently. I have replaced the battery two times and the starter. I will turn the key and the engine will not crank over, sometimes it will start up 30 seconds or a minute later after I attempt a couple of times. The Honda mechanic forum is stating that this is a very common problem from owners of this ninth gen Honda Accord.

At 104,000 miles the starter on my 2.4 liter Honda engine began intermittently operating. I ordered a $200 starter online that arrived with damaged connectors and had to take my car to a Honda repair facility. They acquired another starter for $300 and installed it for a total bill of $544.85. As a disabled retiree, I purchased the Honda Accord due to its reputation for reliability. I need it to be reliable transportation to take me and my wife to doctors appointments and the like, making it a serious health and safety issue for us. I do synthetic oil and filter changes every 5000 miles and rotate my tires at the same time. My plan was to keep this vehicle until the "wheels fell off" but now I'm questioning my decision and Honda's reputation. The original Honda starter core was sent back to AutoZone where the replacement starter was obtained. There were no lights or indicators of a pending problem with the starter malfunctioning.

Unknown. Just off of warranty, vehicle has started to exhibit intermittent failure to crank/ start on an increasing number of occasions. Could leave driver stranded. Turning key 180 degrees, using valet key, and waiting for various periods of time has allowed the vehicle to start ( so far). Research shows Honda replaces starters on 2013 and earlier Accords under a recall, but claims problem has been cured in 2014 and later Accords. An online search for 2014 and later Accords show the problem persists and has not been corrected.

WHILE ON A 400 MILE ROUND TRIP VISIT TO FAMILY, AFTER STOPPING FOR A REST ROOM BREAK, MY HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT START AFTER ENGAGING THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS, THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION FINALLY ENGAGED. WHILE VISITING OUT OF STATE, I CONTACTED A HONDA DEALER THERE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE STARTER ASSEMBLY FOR MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD AND THAT DEALER WANTED $850 TO REPLACE THE STARTER ASSEMBLY. I DECLINED TO PAY THAT OUTRAGEOUS PRICE, TAKING MY CHANCES TO RETURN HOME, A 200 MILE TRIP. DURING THAT TRIP, THERE WERE MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHERE, AFTER STOPPING FOR EITHER GAS OR A REST ROOM BREAK, IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. AT ONE POINT, AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU, I PULLED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT TO PARK OUT OF THE WAY TO EAT MY FOOD BUT KEPT THE ENGINE RUNNING TO ENSURE I WOULD GET BACK HOME. AFTER RETURNING HOME, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A REPUTABLE LOCAL AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOP AND WHILE WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT STARTER TO BE INSTALLED, THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN CAME OUT TO ME TO SHOW ME THE FAULTY STARTER ASSEMBLY HE HAD REMOVED FROM MY ACCORD. THE ORIGINAL UNIT REMOVED FROM MY ACCORD ACTUALLY CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE IN TWO PIECES. IT HAD SEPARATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOUSING. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN HOW HAD IT STAYED TOGETHER WHILE IT WAS IN THE ENGINE AND HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. (2 PHOTOS ATTACHED) . AT THE TIME OF THIS REPAIR, THERE WERE LESS THAN 45,000 ON THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD (THUS ALSO ON THE STARTER ASSEMBLY). THE REPAIR WAS MADE USING A GENERIC STARTER ASSEMBLY FROM NAPA ON 04/22/2021 AND I WAS CHARGED $583.98 TOTAL FOR PARTS AND LABOR. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PART DIDN'T LAST LONGER THAN 45,000. I HAD A 2000 HONDA CR-V THAT I SOLD WITH 203,000 MILE ON IT AND IT STILL HAD ITS ORIGINAL STARTER. GRANTED, DIFFERENT TYPE TO IGNITION THEN. .

VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ON A COLD START AFTER IT'S BEEN SITTING, VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND HAS ROUGH IDLE.

Mileage: 85,000

WHENEVER I START THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STARTING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STARTER AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I HAVE CHANGED THE STARTER 4 TIMES IN SPAN OF 3 YEARS PERIOD I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANIC AND EACH OF THEM TELL ME IT'S THE STARTER AND THE FLYWHEEL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO FIX IT AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE FLYWHEEL ISSUE. THE TECH TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM KNOWN TO 2013-2015 HONDA ACCORD. I ASKED THE DEALERS TO AGREE TO FIXING THE STARTER AND ANY OTHER ISSUES RELATING TO THE STARTER BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT THE REFUSED. I HAVE 2 OF MY COLLEAGUES WITH THE SAME 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THE ISSUE STARTED 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2018 AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP.

THE CAR HAS BEEN BURNING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKAGE AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OIL DROPS WHERE I PARK IT. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND ADD MORE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP AS PRE OWNED CERTIFIED. I SPOKE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP ONCE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID IF THE CAR BURNS 1 QUART OF OIL IN 1000 MILES THEN WE CONSIDER IT EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING. AT THE TIME MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY JUST GAVE ME THIS UNREALISTIC OIL BURNING RATE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. NOW MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM OF COURSE PERSISTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD AN OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CROWN HONDA GREENSBORO (3633 W. WENDOVER AVE, GREENSBORO, NC 27407) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED 2 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL PER ONE THOUSAND MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,266.

I BOUGHT A 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT BRAND NEW THE CAR STARTED BURNING OIL AT 55.000 MILES THIS IS A WELL MAINTAIN CAR ONLY CHANGE OIL AT THE DEALER AND HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY,BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER,THIS IS MY THIRD TIME THE OIL IS LOW CLOSE TO 1000 MILES AND EVERY TIME I GO TO THEM THEY CHARGE ME FOR AN OIL CHANGE,SO IM WAITING TO SEE WHEN WHEN I GO BACK THIS TIME WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME,THE PROBLEM IS /OIL CONSUMPTION,

THE VEHICLE IS TAKING LONGER TO GO INTO ENGINE MODE. IT'S LAGGING

ON MY 2014 ACCORD SPORT (2.4 L, I4 ENGINE), THERE APPEARS TO BE 'EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION' SINCE ABOUT 50K MILES. I HAVE TO ADD ABOUT 3/4 QUART TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000-2500 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND PERFORM ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON TIME AT THE HONDA DEALER. I TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER MISSED A SERVICE. IT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE HITTING 50K MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 77K MILES AND I JUST HAD TO ADD 3/4 QUART OF OIL AGAIN AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES. I'VE EVEN REPLACED THE PCV VALVE WITH NO LUCK. MY QUESTION IS, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE RECALL RELATED TO 2008-2012 ACCORDS? I THINK MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. BY THE WAY, I'VE SEEN HONDA'S STANCE THAT UP TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE, I ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE.. IT'S ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL. I WORRY HOW THIS CAR WILL DO AS IT GETS OLDER. AT THIS RATE, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN IT GOES BAD DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION?

I'VE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT BURNS OIL CONSTANTLY. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW UNTIL TWO YEAR 2020 UNTIL DO MY OWN OIL CHANGE AND REALIZE I BURN A QUART OF OIL WITHIN A MONTH. SO THE DEALER HAS CHANGE MY MOTOR OIL ALL THIS YEAR WITHOUT TELLING ME UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS OVER AND I SURE THEY KNOW AND HEAR COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUES ALREADY THEY SHOULD DO A RECALLED ON THIS CAR DO TO SAFETY REASON. THANKS,

ENGINE STARTED LEAKING OIL. MAJOR ENGINE GASKETS AND SEALS REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED. CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY

I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD 2.4L EX-L WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I STARTED EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH THE START BUTTON, ALL OF MY 'NORMAL' DASH LIGHTS COME ON AS IF I PUT IT IN START MODE AND I HEAR ONE CLICK, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER. WHILE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, IT HAPPENS MORE THAN IT STARTS ON THE FIRST TRY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT CAN TAKE BETWEEN 2-6 TRIES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTS. I REPLACED THE BATTERY 6 MONTHS AGO, BUT THE ISSUE CAME RECENTLY AND IS STILL ONGOING. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER BOTH TESTED BY NUMEROUS PLACES AND BOTH ARE TESTING GOOD.

WE HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STARTING. WE FOUND AN ONLINE THREAD ON THE SUBJECT WITH WORKAROUND TRICKS. SOMETIMES PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTING IT FROM THERE WORKS, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. WHAT WORKS MOST OFTEN IS TURN KEY ONE NOTCH, WAIT 3 SECONDS, TURN AGAIN AND WAIT UNTIL LIGHTS GO AWAY, THEN AGAIN AND THEN IT STARTS. WHAT IS THIS ISSUE? IS THERE A RECALL THAT CAN FIX THIS ISSUE?

Mileage: 70,000

ALL 2013-2016 HONDA ACCORDS WITH V6 ENGINES AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVE A DESIGN FAILURE THAT CAUSES THE STARTER AND TORQUE CONVERTER TO GRIND INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL THEY FAIL. THIS DESIGN FAILURE CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND CAN LEAD TO THE OWNER STRANDED. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $4,000 . MY FAILURE STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH LESS THEN 50,000 MILES. I'VE HAD TO PAY FOR 3 NEW STARTERS AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOW THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT A VERY HIGH RATE ON THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WON'T ALIGN AND EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS REPLACED THE PROBLEM WILL STILL OCCUR BECAUSE OF THE CLEARANCE FAILURE DUE A MANUFACTURER DESIGN ISSUE.

THEY PUT SOME KIND OF RODENT PROOF TAPE OVER THE AREA , BUT DIDN'T EXTENDED THE TAPE ANOTHER 2 FEET TO COVER THE ENTIRE BACK AREA. WHEN I ASKED WHY NOT THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TAPE WAS EXPENSIVE. WELL 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM AROSE A COUPLE INCHES WHERE THE MECHANIC FAILED TO EXTEND THE TAPE. SERVICE MGT STATED THAT THEY WERE SORRY BUT YOU WILL NOT BE COVERED FOR THE SAME REPAIR WHICH IN TOTAL WAS OVER 1000 DOLLARS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD OF REPAIRED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME . I ALSO LEARN THAT HONDA HAD MADE THESES LINES ECO FRIENDLY FROM 2010 TO 2016 WHERE IT ATTRACTED RODENTS . I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.*DT*JB

THIS PROBLEM WITH 2014 H ACCORD EXISTS SINCE NOV. 2018 (MILEAGE THEN APPROX.. 49,000 MI). THE STARTER CLICKS (BATTERY IS FULL) AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE TYPICALLY STARTED. IN JUNE 2019 I CHECKED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP WHETHER THE BATTERY SWITCH RECALL IS THE OFFENDER. IT WAS NOT. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE ' DESPITE MY DETAILED DESCRIPTION HOW THE NON-START EVENT HAPPENS. IN 2019 THIS ISSUE STARTED SHOWING UP WITH HIGHER FREQUENCY ' JUST YESTERDAY I GOT STRANDED ON THE ROAD IN PARKING LOT. HAD TO LEAVE CAR THERE OVERNIGHT (ATTEMPTED TO START MAYBE 20 TIMES WITH DIFFERENT P-N CONFIGURATIONS ' BATTERY ABOUT 13.6 V) ' NO SUCCESS ' THE CAR AND STARTER WERE DEAD (1 CLICK ONLY). CAME BACK NEXT MORNING WITH TOWING SERVICE. THE CAR STARTED. THIS ISSUE WITH MALFUNCTIONING STARTER IS ON- AND -OFF. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STARTER WITH THIS H. ACCORD LX 2014 MODEL. THE H. DEALER PRETENDED THAT THEY ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE (PLENTY OF COMPLAINS ON THE INTERNET WHICH I SHOWED THEM). I AM WAITING FOR OEM STARTER PART TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 61,000 MILES NOW. IT IS WAY PREMATURE FOR THE STARTER TO DEVELOP THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS ' WHICH FOR ME LAST EXACTLY FOR ONE YEAR (NOV. 2018) AND CREATES A REAL ROAD HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IN WINTER TIME. RECALL FROM HONDA IS NECESSARY. IT IS SYSTEMIC ISSUE HERE.

EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. CAR USUALLY TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START. USUALLY ON AROUND THE THIRD OR FOURTH ATTEMPT IT STARTS, BUT HAS TAKEN UP TO 10-12 ATTEMPTS OR MORE TO START. KEYED IGNITION, NOT PUSH BUTTON. WHEN IT FAILS TO START, ENGINE DOESN'T CRANK AT ALL, THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE 'CLICK' SOUND. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID IT'S MOST LIKELY A BAD STARTER AND QUOTED AROUND $700 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. THE CAR ONLY HAS 35K MILES, WHICH SEEMS VERY LOW MILES TO HAVE STARTER ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING AT ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS, AS THIS IS CLEARLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER AND WIFE BOTH DRIVE THIS CAR, AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE CAUSING THEM TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THAT'S DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALSO DOESN'T SEEM FAIR FOR ME TO HAVE TO PAY $700 TO REPAIR AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY DUE TO A FAULTY PART, JUST TO A HAVE A CAR THAT STARTS WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO. ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE STARTER ISSUES FIXED SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY HONDA TOO.

IT'S LIKE IT'S IN LIMP MODE. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN FIXES THE ISSUE, BUT WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER (TWICE) THEY HAVE PULLED THE COMPUTER AND HAVE FOUND NO RECORDS ON THE CAR. THEY SAY IT'S "AS IF THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN BEFORE".

ABOUT A WEEK AGO I CALLED AAA FOR SERVICE FOR MY 2014 ACCORD. IT WOULD NOT START. THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND IT TO BE FINE. HE THEN TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WE DROVE HOME AND HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL DAYS UNTIL LAST SATURDAY WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED TO THE CAR WITH GROCERIES AND UNCOUNTED THE SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS 87 AND WITH THE HIGH HEAT AND PERISHABLES IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. AGAIN, AFTER CALLING MY SON FOR AID, THE CAR FINALLY STARTED AND WE PLANNED A MONDAY VISIT TO YOUR ENTERPRISE. SINCE MY WIFE HAD A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AT NOON, WE PRAYED THAT THE CAR WOULD START FOR THE TRIP TO THE DOCTOR'S AND THEN FOR THE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP.IT STARTED FOR THE FIRST TRIP AND THEN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES FOR THE SECOND TRIP TO. A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT START CAN PLACE PEOPLE IN DANGER AND SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

CAR WILL FAIL TO START. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE CAR STALLS AND WON'T RESTART DEPENDING ON LOCATION, EG HIGHWAY, IT COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS INTERMITTENT STARTER PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES IT STARTS FINE, OTHER TIMES THE LIGHTS ALL GO ON BUT NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS. WHEN IT WON'T START TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TRYING AGAIN USUALLY WORKS. I CAN ALSO GET IT TO START BY LEAVING THE KEY TURNED TO THE START POSITION AND PUMPING THE CLUTCH. THIS INDICATES THE IGNITION SWITCH IS OK AND THE CLUTCH START SENSOR SWITCH IS OK. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE REPLACED A BUNCH OF STARTERS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. THEY WANT $800 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. A WEB SEARCH INDICATES THE STARTER IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2014 ACCORDS. WHEN IS THE RECALL? I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED.

THIS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLE HAS HAD SOME ODD PROBLEMS, SOME THAT MADE THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, 1) AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH MELTED ONTO COMPRESSOR. FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. 2) TIMING BELT TENSIONER LEAKED FLUID, FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. 3) DEALER DIAGNOSED ABS MODULE FAULT. AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED EVERY OTHER ELECTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEM IN THE CAR TO INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. OPENED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA WHO DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. THESE UNITS FAIL RARELY AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PART (36,000 MILE 3-YR WARRANTY) WAS EVEN BACK ORDERED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. FOR EXAMPLE, ONLY 1 UNIT WAS REPLACED IN ATLANTA, GA SINCE 2014, THEY WANTED ALMOST $1,600 TO FIX THE ISSUE. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SPECIALIST WHO FIXED IT FOR UNDER $600 BY FINDING A USED PART. I THINK HONDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ACCOMMODATING AND CONCERNED. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED THE ABS, LDW, FCW, AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS TO EVENTUALLY FAIL. LITERALLY, I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT AS THE ABS WAS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING (THE DAY A CAR TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME) AND SAVED ME FROM SKIDDING INTO AND T-BONING ANOTHER CAR. BUT ALL THESE ODD ISSUES JUST LEAVES ME WONDERING... WHEN'S THE NEXT WEIRD PROBLEM GOING TO POP UP?

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WILL AT TIMES NOT START AND ONLY MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE START BUTTON, THIS STILL OCCURRING AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY AND STARTER TWICE IN ADDITION TO THE FOB BATTERY. I SPECULATE THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ISSUE AS SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START AFTER PUMPING/PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIMES OR JUST HOLDING IT AFTER INITIAL ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR (VERY FRUSTRATING). NEW ISSUE INVOLVES THE CAR STARTING WHILE ONLY PRESSING THE BRAKE AND MOVING THE GEAR SHIFTER (DANGEROUS AS A KID CAN START THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PRESSING THE START BUTTON). HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA (LOCAL/CALIFORNIA MAIN) AND SPOKE TO A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE YESTERDAY (5/7/2019) TO NO AVAIL. PLEASE ISSUES A RECALL FOR THESE CARS HAVING THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR WORSE, LOOSES THEIR LIVES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND IS ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS, LAST EVEN WAS TODAY.

THE MONTH AFTER OUR VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. I HAD TROUBLE TURNING MY CAR ON FOR THE TIME WHEN I WAS AT WORK (ABOUT AN 8 MILE DRIVE FROM HOME).. I DROVE TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES AND ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER OF IT BEING STATIONARY, IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. I TRIED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE OVERNIGHT AND CALL SOMEONE TO PICK ME UP. I WAS LUCKY THAT I REALIZED IT WASN'T WORKING DURING LUNCH. I USUALLY GOT OFF FROM WORK AT 6PM WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT IN THE OFFICE AND IF I DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE ON ME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALONE THERE IN AN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. .THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE STARTER AND SEEING HOW IT WAS A 3 YEAR CAR WITH NOT ENOUGH MILES TO WARRANT STARTER PROBLEMS, THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE. WE TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE CHARGES. WE PAID FOR A NEW STARTER OUT OF POCKET AND IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. NOW THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK. ONE DAY IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I TYPICALLY DRIVE WITH MY MOM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHE OFTEN GETS ANXIETY ATTACKS. THE WIND MAKES HER FEEL BETTER AND WHEN AN EPISODE WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED, I WASN'T ABLE TO PUT HER WINDOW DOWN TO HELP HER. THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ON THE CAR IS ALSO BROKEN. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT RIGHT AWAY SINCE THE RIGHT ONE WORKS. IN A SENSE, IT'S TERRIBLE THAT SOMETHING IN THE CAR WAS BROKEN AND THAT THERE WAS NO CAR SIGNAL TO NOTIFY ME. WE REALIZE THAT CARS REQUIRE UPKEEP, BUT FOR A 5 YEAR OLD CAR TO HAVE THIS MANY MECHANICAL ISSUES IS RIDICULOUS. I REALIZE THAT THESE

LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING COME ON WHEN I PUSH TO START BUT THE ENGINE IS NOT TURNING OVER. DEALERSHIP TESTED BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND WIRING AND EVERYTHING LOOKED TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY. MY CAR WAS CHECKED TWICE FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL ISSUE AFFECTING MY MAKE AND MODEL AND IT CHECKED OUT FINE BOTH TIMES.

LAST YES WHEN THE BATTERY WAS 3 YEARS OLD AND IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME, HAD TO BUY A NEW ONE. I DIDN'T MIGHT SINCE IT WAS $150. A FEW MONTH (AUGUST 2018) AGO MY CAR WOULD NOT START FROM THE FIRST TIME I PUSH THE START BOTTOM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH IT AGAIN FOR IT TO START. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE TO TWICE A WEEK. BUT OVER THE LAST MONTH (NOVEMBER 2018) THIS ISSUE REALLY INCREASED. STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AND THE CAR WOULD START AFTER THE 5TH OR 6TH ATTEMPT. CALLED THE DEALER THEY QUOTED ME OVER $500 TO FIX THE ISSUE AT A DISCOUNTED RATE. BUT MY STARTER SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THIS EARLY WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 TO 4 YEARS OLD. THIS ISSUE MUST BE HAPPENING A LOT BECAUSE THE DEALER DIDN'T EVEN ASK TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER I EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM THEY SAID QUOTED ME FOR THE STARTER.

HI SANDY HOW ARE YOU DOING? THE STRANGEST THING HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY. I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND IT WAS HARD TO STOP THE CAR, SO I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RACED, I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. THE DEALER TESTED IT OVER NIGHT FOR 160 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO WAS CHARGED FOR SERVICE. THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON PCM (MAIN COMPUTER) AND EPS SYSTEM (STEERING WHEEL)

Mileage: 27,200

RPM SURGED TO 7000 TO 8000 RPM

Mileage: 17,000

CAN IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 118K MILES ON IT. HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR ERRORS ON THE COMPUTER WHEN IT WAS HOOKED UP BUT TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. CAR STOPPED GETTING IN GEAR. HAD A SALVAGED ONE PUT IN AND IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. ON 2 OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST WEEK, I'VE HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECOND FOR THE CAR TO START GOING AGAIN WHEN I ACCELERATED. IT REVED DURING THAT TIME BUT THE GEAR DID NOT CATCH. IT IS ALSO SHIFTING VERY ROUGH FROM THROUGH THE GEARS AND WHEN BRAKING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IT SHIFTS ROUGH. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY'VE BASICALLY TOLD ME OH WELL.

Mileage: 118,000

I WAS NOTIFIED BY CONSUMER REPORTS OF RECALL JP2 FOR MY CAR SHOWING THE NEED FOR CONNECTING ROD BOLTS ON MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD. HONDA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A VALID RECALL

VTC ACTUATOR FAILED AT 30,000 MILES. THIS IS A LONG TERM ISSUE (2013,2014,2015,2016,2017 FOR ALL HONDA MODELS W THE 4CYL ENGINE. PART COST $203.88.OEM PART IS THE ONLY OPTION FOR REPLACEMENT WITH A REPLACEMENT TIME OF 5 HOURS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NO TSB'S OR RECALLS, RELATED TO THIS PART. THEY DID NOT OFFER TO DISCOUNT ANY ASPECT OF THE BILL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF THIS PART AT 30K IS REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY AND WOULD CAUTION RETURNING A HONDA BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. UTILIZE A QUALIFIED AND REPUTABLE ASE CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITY.

I RECENTLY CAME UPON AN ARTICLE ABOUT 2014 HONDA'S THAT WOULD OVER HEAT AND YOU WOULD LOSE POWER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT LOW SPEED IN TRAFFIC AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL BEFORE IT STALLED OUT I PRESSED THE GAS AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL RPM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONE MORE TIME ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER AND HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE.

Mileage: 51,000

WHEN STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT START AT ALL. DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED THE STARTER WAS BAD AND THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES.

Mileage: 50,000

HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT HONDA DEALER I BOUGHT CAR FROM. DOCUMENTED CAR LOSING QUART OIL EVERY 1000 MILES OR 2 QUARTS BETWEEN 8000 MILE OIL CHANGES. HONDA DOES NOT FIND THIS EXCESSIVE AND STATES A QUART PER 1000 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE, WHICH IS TOTAL BS. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR BUY A HONDA PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE!

Mileage: 50,000

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. ONLY A CLICKING SOUND WOULD BE HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. ALL IGNITION LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT PROPERLY AND HEADLIGHTS STAYED ON AND WERE BRIGHT. THIS INDICATED BATTERY WAS GOOD. ALSO BATTERY WAS JUST REPLACED. BUT THE CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT WOULD TAKE 2 TO 3 TRIES TO GET CAR TO START. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. IT TURNS OUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER. IT WENT BAD AFTER ONLY 42,500 MILES. I SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT STARTER ISSUE. IT APPEARS HONDA MAY HAVE DEFECT IN STARTER. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME $650 TO REPLACE STARTER. I BOUGHT A STARTER AND INSTALLED MYSELF SAVING MONEY.

Mileage: 42,500

I WAS SLOWLY MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO AND PULLING INTO A FRONT END IN PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR AS ALREADY GOING STRAIGHT INTO THE PARKING SPACE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, COULD NOT BE SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED BY THE BRAKE, JUMPED THE CURB, AND CRASHED INTO THE BUILDING. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

Mileage: 47,000

CAR WOULD NOT START BUT WOULD JUST CLICK AND ELECTRICITY WOULD TURN ON. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE AND WORSE. WOULD REQUIRE 2, THEN 3 UP TO 6 TRIES TO START THE ENGINE. REPLACED BATTERY AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE. WENT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD STARTER WAS FAULTY, HAD TO PAY FOR A FULL STARTER REPLACEMENT AT LESS THAN 45,000 MILES.

PISTON RINGS NEED TO BE CHECKED. WENT FOR OIL CHANGE AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN CAR TECH SAID THERE WAS NOT A LEAK AND IT MUST BE BURNING OIL CAR WAS AT 30%

Mileage: 96,838

I'VE HAD THIS FOR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE ARE TIMES MY CAR WON'T START ON THE 1ST KEY TURN. ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE BATTERY IS STILL RUNNING GOOD. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I PUT MY KEY IN TURN IT LIGHTS COME ON IT CLICKS I TURN IT BACK TURN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. USUALLY ON THE THE THIRD TRY IT THE ENGINE COMES ON POWERFUL. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK. I READ ON OTHER FORUMS AND A LOT OF OWNWERS OF THE SAME CAR ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THEY TOOK THEIRS TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO GET THEIR STARTER REPLACED. WE ARE WONDERING HOW A CAR THIS NEW CAN ALREADY HAVE STARTER ISSUES? THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHEN CARS ARE UNDER 100K IN MILES. HONDA NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THEIR POORLY MADE STARTER. THE OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER ALREADY.

Mileage: 96,000

I INFORMED HONDA ABOUT MY CAR'S OIL SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND HOW THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL AT A FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD MY CAR CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AT HONDA IN BURLINGAME FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO LEAKS, YET THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THEY JUST TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE OIL GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD. AT THE 50% LEVEL IT MADE A BEEPING NOISE AND I HAD THE OIL CHECKED. IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY! THEREFORE THE OIL GAUGE WAS USELESS. I WROTE TO HONDA AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEMS. THEY JUST TOLD ME TO GET IT CHECKED AGAIN AND WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. NOW I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, AND VERY ALARMED THAT HONDA IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL DANGER OR THEIR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 100K MILES UNCERTAIN WHY BUT ITS OBVIOUSLY A RECALL ON A BAD CAR IM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND THE CAR DOESNT WORK THE CAR HAS ENGINE ISSUES AND NO COLD A/C AND MANY OTHER ISSUES I THINK THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE OVERLOOKED AT ITS ONLY BEEN SINCE 2014 TIL 2018 AND THE CAR SHOULD HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES IM SO SAD THAT HONDA LET ME DOWN I OWNED SEVERAL HONDAS IM THE PAST AND I TRUSTED THERE VEHICLE BUT IM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT I HOPE THIS ISSUES GETS DOUBT WITH AND HONDA UNDERSTANDS I OWNED HONDA ACCORDS BEFORE MANY OF THEM AND THIS ONE HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM WHAT I SEE NOT A GOOD YEAR FOR HONDA 2014 OR MY CAR WAS A LEMON

Mileage: 2,000

CAR WILL NOT START WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED BUT AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS AND TURNING THE SWITCH ON AND OFF AND TURNING THE WHEEL AND PUSHING ON THE BRAKE IT SOMETIMES JUST STARTS. THE CAR HAS 55000 MILES. HAS BEEN HAPPENING 3 MONTHS GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Mileage: 54,000

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START WHEN YOU PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND ONLY CLICKS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THE CAR STALLS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR RAIL ROAD CROSSING AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STARTED. TO START THE VEHICLE (KEYLESS W/FOB), YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE START BUTTON. IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE STARTING OF THE CAR MAY BE PART OF THE ISSUE AS WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL MORE LIKELY START WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT VS. HARD. NOT SURE IF THE ISSUE IS ISOLATED TO THE START BUTTON, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, BOTH OR THE ELECTRONICS THAT INTERACTS WHEN THESE TWO. ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY PROVIDE WITH THIS ISSUE IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

THE CAR HAS IGNITION PROBLEMS.

MY 2014 ACCORD, PURCHASED IN APRIL 2014, BEGAN BURNING OIL AND HAD TO HAVE EXTENSIVE WORK/REPAIRS DONE. ACCORDING TO A RECALL NOTICE ON MODELS MANUFACTURED SHORTLY AFTER MINE, A SIMILAR ISSUE OCCURRED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CENTER THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL CARS THE SAME MODEL AS MINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL NOTICE HAD BEEN ISSUED YET. IF NOT ALREADY DONE, I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL. I CAN SEND DOCUMENTS OF WHAT WORK WAS DONE.

WHEN I START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START ALL THE TIME, SPORADICALLY I WOULD GET NO START. THE LIGHT, ACC, RADIO, NAV EVERYTHING TURNS ON BUT THE ENGINE WONT START. I TRY AGAIN FEW TIMES IT WILL START, I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY 2014, 31000 MILES ON IT TILL DATE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2017, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED THEN THEY SOLD ME A BATTERY THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE "NO START" PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA AND INQUIRED AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEIR DEALERSHIP IS ABLE TO RE CREATE IT. 3 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM BECAME SO WORSE I WOULD GET NO START 2ND/3RD TIME I START THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY IDENTIFIED IT'S THE STARTER AND WOULD COST ME $1000 TO REPLACE. ONCE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED, I HAD THE PROBLEM RESURFACE 4 TIMES THAT MONTH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE STARTER AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. 3 WEEKS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, 4 TIMES NO START IN THE SAME WEEK, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY ROTATED THE GEAR PINION RING/ADJUSTED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AS PER HONDA. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, THESE SERVICE GUYS AT THE DEALERSHIP I'M GOING ARE EXCELLENT BUT I CANT IMAGINE I'M DRIVING HONDA 'S TOP OF THE CLASS ACCORD EX-L WHICH IS SO VERY UNRELIABLE.

OIL LIFE AT 40%. CAR WAS MAKING NOISE. WHILE DRIVING AND PRESSED ON BRAKES ...OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. CHECKED OIL ON CAR. NO DROP OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NO LEAKS.. CARBON FOUND ON CYLINDERS, INSIDE ENGINE AND ON PINSTON RINGS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES, FUEL INJECTION WAS CLEANED, AND CVT TRANSMISSION IS ALSO REPLACED CONSISTENTLY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 6MONTHS AGO. ENGINE IS CURRENTLY DISMANTLED AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER! COMPLETELY UPSETTING!

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. ON SOME MORNINGS, IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 OR MORE TIMES TO ACTUALLY START MY VEHICLE, AND SOME MORNINGS IT WILL TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY. IT IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE I HAVE A 2014 VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AS FAR AS IT STARTING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON NEWER HONDAS FOR THIS EXACT REASON, THE STARTER. AS ALWAYS, MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO START IT.

MY 2014 ACCORD EX SEDAN IS ON RECALL NOTICE AND I AM HAVING A FINAL REPAIR ON THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENOR NEXT WEEK. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I AM EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY TRYING TO START MY CAR. WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES THE CARE DOES NOT START. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE NOV. 2013 AND HAVE ONLY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ALL SYMBOLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT UP AND QUICKLY GO OFF AND I GET A NOTICE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "POWER IS ON": WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN 1-3 TIMES, THE CAR STARTS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH STALLING OR CUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. MY BATTERY IS ONLY 2 YR. OLD. AND IT WAS JUST CHECKED LAST MONTH AND THE CHARGE WAS OK. CLEARLY THERE IS A SHORT AFFECTING IGNITION OF THE IGNITION OF THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED HAS SO FAR ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I ONLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND IS QUITE DISTURBING; IT CAN BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS ISSUED HONDA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAMPAIGNS F/ RECALL NOTICES FOR OTHER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT YET FOR MY 2014 SEDAN. IT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. FROM REVIEWING THE NHTSA COMPLAINT DATABASE IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NHTSA AND HONDA AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS COMPLAINT BE EXPEDITIOUSLY INVESTIGATED AND THE PROBLEM FOR MY CAR AND IS RECOGNIZED AS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE HONDA PRODUCTS FOR MANY YEARS AND HONDA FIGURE OUT A PERMANENT SOLUTION. I AM REQUESTING THAT HONDA COVERS THE COST OF PARTS/LABOR TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I AM PAST THE REGULAR WARRANTY PERIOD (EXCEPT I AM STILL WITHIN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ) THIS WEEK (NOVEMBER 13 TO 11/17) PROBLEM OCCURRED 4 TIMES.

THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER HAVING A "GRINDING", "STATIC-LIKE", OR "WHINING" SOUND AND IT HAS SEEMINGLY AFFECTED MY CAR AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I AM PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR MY DESTINATION, DO A BASIC PRESS OF THE STARTER BUTTON, AND I WILL HEAR THAT GRINDING AND WHINING SOUND... ON OCCASION, IT WILL TAKE A NUMBER OF TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON THE REGULAR. THERE IS A HONDA TECHNICAL BULLETIN (DATED FEBRUARY 5, 2016) NUMBER 16-002 IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER AND ALSO A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (MERKIN V. HONDA NORTH AMERICAN INC., AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., HONDA MOTOR COMPANY LTD.) I CANNOT PINPOINT AN EXACT DATE ON WHEN THIS STARTED (I GAVE YOU MY BEST ANSWER), BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I FEAR IF IT CONTINUES, IT COULD HURT MY CAR IN THE LONG RUN OR I COULD POSSIBLY BE STRANDED IF I GO ON A LONG JOURNEY SOMEWHERE

CAR HAS STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I WAS COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT TRAVELING ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR CUT OFF.

MY CAR HAS BEEN TO HONDA TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS JUNE 20TH AT 5PM AT WHOLE FOODS IN PHOENIX. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER THEN DIE. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO HONDA (IT STARTED AND DROVE). I PICKED IT UP AT 5PM, THEY STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. AS I'M SITTING IN THE CAR AT HONDA THE CAR DIED AND WOULDN'T START. THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE STARTER AND REPLACED IT AND I PICKED UP THE CAR FRIDAY JUNE 23RD. THE CAR WAS FINE UNTIL SUNDAY AROUND 3PM AT SAFEWAY ON PHOENIX WHERE THE CAR WOULD START AND THEN DIE. I TOOK AN UBER HOME AND SCHEDULED A TOW. WHEN I GOT BACK TO SAFEWAY THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE IT HOME. MONDAY MORNING JUNE 26 I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FUEL PUMP TO BE BAD AFTER TWO DAYS. I TOWED IT BACK TO HONDA ON JUNE 28TH TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND I DID NOT GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL JULY 8TH. ON MY WAY TO WORK TUESDAY JULY 11TH THE CAR DIED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY INTERCHANGE BETWEEN I10W AND I17N AND WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE (THERE'S BARELY A SHOULDER) AND WAIT FOR A TOW AS THE CAR WOULD NO START. I WAS TOWED TO SHOWCASE HONDA WHERE THE CAR IS NOW. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS MORE THAN JUST AN INCONVENIENCE IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR AND I HAVE ALMOST NO CONFIDENCE THEY ARE CAPABLE OF FIGURING OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR (THAT'S UNDER WARRANTY) AND I HONESTLY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THAT CAR ANY LONGER.

INITIAL PROBLEM WITH PUSH BUTTON START - WOULD NOT START ON FIRST PUSH. STARTED AT ABOUT 55K MILEAGE. PROBLEM HAS WORSENED - MAY START ON FIRST PUSH, BUT SOMETIMES TAKES MANY PUSHES IN COMBINATION WITH BRAKE RELEASE AND DEPRESSING OR JUST PUSHING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE - THEN BRAKING AND PUSHING. VERY INTERMITTENT IN TERMS OF HOW MANY PUSHES - SOMETIMES JUST A COUPLE, SOMETIME 10 OR MORE! NOW AT JUST UNDER 60K MILEAGE, CAR CANNOT BE TRUSTED. ERROR CODES COME UP AS 85-01 VSA SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND 61-11 VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (IC) LOW VOLTAGE AND B-1240 - A PROBLEM IN THE MODE CONTROL LINKAGE DOOR OR MOTOR. THESE ERROR CODES DO NOT SEEM RELATED TO THE PUSH BUTTON START ISSUE, BUT IS ANOTHER PROBLEM TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX. THE PUSH BUTTON PROBLEM HAPPENS TO MANY PEOPLE AND HONDA IS AWARE OF IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED HIS INSIDE CONTACT AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY KEEP STARTERS ON HAND FOR THIS. THEY WILL NOT HANDLE AS A WARRANTY OR 'RECALL' TYPE PROBLEM AND ONE HAS TO PAY A LOT FOR THE FIX - STARTER REPLACEMENT CAN BE CLOSE TO $1K!! ANOTHER HONDA CONTACT KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE - IT IS BECAUSE THE STARTER ON THE ACCORD, ESPECIALLY THE 2.4L ENGINE, IS MOUNTED BELOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, HEATS UP SIGNIFICANTLY AND BEGINS TO FAIL - DEPENDS MORE ON THE # OF STARTS THAN MILEAGE, APPARENTLY. MY ACCORD IS STARTED MANY TIMES PER DAY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL EVENT, I BELIEVE, BUT I MUST GET MINE FIXED NOW!!! NOT GOOD! ALSO A PROBLEM FROM DAY 1, IS THE FORWARD WARNING CAMERA GETS HOT, HERE IN SOUTHERN CAL, AND WILL NOT WORK UNTIL THE AC SYSTEM COOLS IT DOWN. VERY UNSAFE AND WORTHY OF FURTHER REVIEW AS WELL. *JS

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION....HONDA SAYING IT IS NORMAL .....

IN JULY 2016, DEALER REPLACED STARTER BASED ON SERVICE BULLETIN. HAD COMPLAINED FOR SOME TIME THAT OCCASIONALLY WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STARTER ENERGIZES BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE FLYWHEEL. I PROVIDED A VIDEO OF THE OCCURRENCE TO THE DEALER WHICH PROMPTED THE REPLACEMENT IN JULY. CAR WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO REOCCUR. RETURNED TO DEALER WHO EVALUATED AND BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. ON 12/6/16, TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START MY VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS. ALL YOU HEAR IS THE WHINING OF THE STARTER, I HAVE ON VIDEO. LET VEHICLE SIT A WHILE AND TRIED LATER WITH SUCCESS. BROUGHT VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY, SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO. THE TOOK VEHICLE IN AND DETERMINED EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THEY DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WITH THE STARTER BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT, OCCURRING ABOUT EVERY 3-4 DAYS. THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH WINTER IN FULL SWING, I WILL BE STRANDED OUT IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY STARTER. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE GOING ANYWHERE WITH MY VEHICLE.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS 33,900+ MILES AND FOR THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD IT IN TO FOX HONDA IN GRAND RAPIDS FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS, THAT IT STUTTERS OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AND TWICE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED OUT AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. FOX MOTORS PLUGS A COMPUTER INTO THE CAR AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF ANY PROBLEMS AND THEY CAN'T FIX WHAT THEY CAN'T DETECT. TWO DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING TO THE VA HOSPITAL IN BATTLE CREEK, I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON ANDERSON RD/STREET AND THE CAR STALLED AND A FEDEX SEMI HAD TO DRIVE ONTO SHOULDER AND ONTO A YARD TO KEEP FROM HITTING US AND IF HE HADN'T, WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO FOX MOTORS AND THEY ARE STANDING PAT, REFUSING TO HELP US. THEY DID OFFER TO BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME, BUT FOR A TERRIBLE PRICE AND I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH IT AND THEY DEALERSHIP MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WOULD RESELL IT WITH CONFIDENCE AND I REFUSED TO SELL IT TO THEM IF THEY WERE GOING TO RESELL IT WITH A SERVICE CERTIFICATION.

5/1/2014HESITATION (UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION) OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED. WHEN THE CAR IS AT A LOW SPEED AND MORE POWER IS NEEDED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED THERE IS NO RESPONSE INITIALLY; ACCELERATOR IS THEN PRESSED MORE AND THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A JERKY, ON/OFF TYPE ACTION. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GENTLY AND HAVING THE CAR ACCELERATE MORE THAN EXPECTED (IN A PARKING LOT OR HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC ETC). *TR

ON THE SECOND TO LAST OCCURRENCE 4/12/15 IT FAILED TO START AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY 5 TIMES. ON THE 6TH, IT MIRACULOUSLY STARTED. WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THE ENGINE SEIZED AGAIN AND IT WAS STUCK FOR A SCARY MOMENT. THE SERVICE DEPT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE HOOD AND POINTED OUT*** A KNOWN COMMON MANUFACTURING FLAW NEAR THE BATTERY, WHERE THE BOLT FOR THE BATTERY RANDOMLY LOSES CONTACT WITH THE SOURCE. HE SHOWED ME WERE IT "WOBBLES OUT OF PLACE- SEIZING THE ENTIRE CAR COMPLETELY!! THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I MADE UTURNS, TURNED CORNERS, AND PULLED IN OR OUT OF PARKING SPOTS. HOW COULD THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY FLAW BE IGNORED??!! I WAS TERRIFIED! THE REAL HORROR IS THAT THIS VERY DEALERSHIP DID AN OIL CHANGE THE WEEK PRIOR AND NO ONE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM!!! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THEM IN NOV. 2014.!!! THIS IS TRUE NEGLIGENCE. I AM FURIOUS. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN TWICE PRIOR TO THIS TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED OVER BECAUSE IT IS MY FOURTH NEW ACCORD, AND I NEW IT WAS NOT RIGHT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH. PLEASE HELP. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND LIFE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. [XXX] CAR WAS LEASED IN LATE NOVEMBER 2014 FROM CRAMER HONDA OF VENICE AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO ADDRESS MY COMPLAINTS IN A SATISFACTORY WAY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE SMELLED FUEL WHEN DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A SUNDAY. THINKING IT WAS SOME LEFTOVER FUEL SPLASHED, WE CONTINUED BUT THEN THE SMELL BECAME REALLY INTENSE. SO WE TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TOWARD HOME. UPON ENTERING OUR STREET, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STALLED TOTALLY OUT AND CAME TO A STOP IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! WE ROLLED IT OVER TO THE SIDE, IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET; THEN STARTED CAR AGAIN AND WENT SLOWLY DOWNHILL TO THE HOUSE; CAR STALLED AGAIN JUST OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE, WE COULD NOT GET IT INTO DRIVEWAY, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL; WE PUSHED IT TO GET IT PARKED ON THE STREET. TRIED AGAIN LATER THAT DAY TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL AND GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO THE STREET. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER NEXT DAY; AFTER TECHNICIANS EXAMINED THE CAR THEY CONCLUDED "RODENT DAMAGE" TO THE FUEL LINE LEADING TO THE FUEL TANK. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE DAMAGE AS IT "WASN'T MANUFACTURER DEFECT." ALSO CALLED NATIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPENED A CASE; BUT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE EITHER TO COVER ANYTHING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE WEREN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS SUDDENLY STALLED OUT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AS THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH NO WARNING! THE FUEL LINE LAST PORTION LEADING INTO THE TANK IS MADE OF RUBBER, IT IS NOT METAL OR HARD PLASTIC LIKE THE REST OF THE LINE AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO SOMETHING SHARP PUNCTURING IT--WHICH IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN OUR VIEW. THE NEW PART THEY PUT ON IS SAME AS THE OLD, THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE IS NO SHIELD UNDER THE FUEL TANK AREA TO KEEP THINGS FROM UNDERNEATH GETTING UP IN THERE. HONDA SHOULD AT LEAST COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR (WE PAID $684.09), CAR IS ALMOST BRAND NEW. AND WE BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, CAR CAN SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT WITH ONLY 5687 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID DRIVING OVER THE CONCRETE BARRIER. I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, WHICH DISSIPATES AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY EXPERIENCE. *TR

SIMILAR TO NHTSA COMPLAINTS #10619205, #10607907, #10655300, #10630708, AND #10628501. DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE, GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A LARGE INCLINE AND BEGAN ACCELERATING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. AFTER OVER 10 MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON. ALTHOUGH I COULD FEEL THAT PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT FEEL THE SAME, AND IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HESITATING AND STRUGGLING TO SWITCH GEARS UP AND ACCELERATE. ON 8/29/2014, AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE, WHILE AGAIN IN CRUISE CONTROL (ECO BOOST WAS NOT ACTIVE), GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES LATER, WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH A MESSAGE STATING ?FCW SYSTEM FAILED.? THE FCW INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD, AS WELL AS THE LDW LIGHT, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM INDICATOR, AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) SYSTEM INDICATOR. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR OR IT COULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER 3 SERVICE CALLS, HONDA'S RESPONSE IS ONLY "CANNOT REPLICATE, SO THERE IS NO PROBLEM." THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JS

RODENT DAMAGE TO GAS LINE, EMISSION SYSTEM, GAS TANK, AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS IN AN ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR (NOT STORED). LEADING TO MAJOR GAS LEAK (HALF A TANK OF GAS IN A DURATION OF A STANDSTILL AT RED LIGHT) THAT PLACED DRIVERS, PASSENGERS, PEDESTRIANS, AND BYSTANDERS' LIFE AT RISK. WOULD'VE LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENDING IF EXHAUST WAS HOT. GAS SPILLED OVER STRETCH OF 2 BLOCKS, MAJORITY CONCENTRATING AT INTERSECTION BETWEEN HEATH AND MAIN ST. BUFFALO NY, WHICH REQUIRED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO CLEAN UP. 911 WAS CONTACTED FOR PATCHES OF FLAMMABLE GASOLINE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN IGNITED FOR NUMEROUS REASONS LEADING TO FATALITY. REASON FOR FILING COMPLIANT. VEHICLE WHICH THIS HAPPENED TO WAS A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED IN JUNE 2014. REPAIRS DENIED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND AMERICA HONDA. STATING ACCIDENT EVENTS LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED, AND IS NOT A MECHANICAL DEFECT. TWO CONSERVATIVE REPAIR REQUIRED, STILL NOT FIXED. DYSFUNCTIONAL CAR FOR A PERIOD OF 6 DAYS AND COUNTING. FOR RODENT DAMAGE TO OCCUR IN A BRAND NEW, ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR IS INDICATIVE OF OBVIOUS FLAWS IN THE DESIGN ITSELF. 1. THE MACHINERY WAS EXPOSED AND UNPROTECTED. 2. THE QUALITY OF BUILT MATERIAL WAS SUBSTANDARD FOR IT TO BE DAMAGED IN A OVERNIGHT SITUATION BY SOME "RODENT" NO LARGER THAN THOSE THAT CAN FIT IN, AND MANEUVER, WITHIN A CONFINED SPACE (SERIOUSLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE A RODENT WOULD RANDOMLY CHOOSE MY CAR ON THE STREET TO SQUEEZE INTO AND JUST BIT A WIRE (NUMEROUS WIRES) WITHOUT PURPOSES OF BUILDING A NEWS OR FOR FOOD). 3. DISPROPORTION BETWEEN THE PRICE PAID FOR THE CAR AND THE QUALITY OF SERVICE WHICH FOLLOWED IT. *TR

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY KNEE HIT THE START BUTTON WHILE GOING 65 IN TRAFFIC.. THE DEALER SAID THAT IS NORMAL!! *TR

I FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TRIED TO CHANGED TO SLOW LANE. THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WITH ERROR CODE INSTEAD OF "D" IN THE PANEL. THERE WAS BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME. I PULLED IT OVER. IT WAS WITHIN 24 HOUR AFTER WE PICKED UP THE CAR. IT WAS SCARY EXPERIENCE! LUCKILY, WE ARE SAFE! EVEN LUCKIER, IT HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE IT, NOT MY 20 YEAR OLD, INEXPERIENCED CHILD DROVE. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IT OCCURRED WHILE HE DROVE. DEALER TOLD US IT WAS REGULATOR IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM BROKEN. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AS A SOLUTION. *TR

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT. IT HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM ALMOST ANY SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I AM NERVOUS IF I HAVE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR ANY REASON, AND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY CAN BE TOUGH TOO. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LIST THIS SAME ISSUE ON HERE, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

HONDA ACCORD EX-L 2014 WILL SHUT-OFF AND COAST TO A STOP IF THE "START PUSH BUTTON" IS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SHOULD BE IN PARK BEFORE PRESSING THE START BUTTON HAS ANY AFFECT !! WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, I PLACED MY HAND ON MY RIGHT KNEE AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE "START PUSH BUTTON" AND TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR SHUT-OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. I COULD NOT RESTART UNTIL I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK.. DANGEROUS !! I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE WHEN MY HAND GOING TO MY RIGHT KNEE HIT THE START BUTTON, THE CAR STOPPED!. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING LESS THAN 5MPH SO NO ACCIDENT. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS - JUST LIKE IF YOU REMOVE YOUR KEYS WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER YOU CAN NOT REMOVE YOUR KEYS UNLESS THE CAR IS IN PARK AND THE KEY IS TURNED FROM RUN. *TR

HESITATION (UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION) OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED. WHEN THE CAR IS AT A LOW SPEED AND MORE POWER IS NEEDED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED THERE IS NO RESPONSE INITIALLY; ACCELERATOR IS THEN PRESSED MORE AND THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A JERKY, ON/OFF TYPE ACTION. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GENTLY AND HAVING THE CAR ACCELERATE MORE THAN EXPECTED (IN A PARKING LOT OR HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC ETC). *TR
