2014 Honda Accord complaints

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE AIR BAG KNOCKED THE CONTACT UNCONSCIOUS. WHEN THE CONTACT WOKE UP, THE VEHICLE HAD CRASHED INTO A STREET POLE. THE OTHER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BROKEN TEETH, A BACK INJURY, NECK AND KNEE PAINS, AND A GASH ON HER FOREHEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS A "TAKATA RECALL." AUTO ACCIDENT ON MAJOR INTERSTATE, BREAKING AND MOVING ABOUT 10-15 MPH WHEN VEHICLE WAS STRUCK VARIOUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, THEN TOOK A FRONT STRIKE WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT WHILE ALSO RECEIVING A DRIVER SIDE HIT ALONG THE DOOR, REARVIEW MIRROR AREA, AND FRONT TIRE. THE VEHICLE THEN WAS PUSHED INTO A GUARDRAIL FROM STRIKES TO THE CAR IN THE UPPER FRONT AND SIDE REGION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING THE ACCIDENT OR AFTER, THOUGH EQUIPPED WITH SEVERAL AIRBAG LOCATIONS. THE SEATBELT REMAINED MOVEABLE AND DID NOT TENSE/LOCK UP.

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 HAV

WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON, SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD START, AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T. WHEN IT WOULD NOT START, I WOULD HAVE TO TRY IT 3 TO 5 TIMES TO GET IT TO START. MY 2014 HONDA HAS 71K MILES AND THE STARTER HAS GONE OUT. COST TO REPLACE MY STARTER WAS $537.43. MY FRIEND, WITH AN IDENTIAL VEHICLE, ALSO HAD HER STARTER GO OUT AT 60K MILES (SAME ISSUE). THE STARTER SHOULD NOT BE GOING BAD THIS SOON ON A "QUALITY" VEHICLE. A RECALL ON THE STARTER SHOULD BE ISSUED.

IGNITION PROBLEMS. CAR WILL NOT START ON INITIAL TRY. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 66K MILES. IM AFRAID IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE IT DID NOT START. I PUT A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA, I THINK IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT, WHICH HAS PLAGUED THIS COMPANY FOR YEARS. I AM HOPING YOUR AGENCY CAN GO FURTHER WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

BACKUP CAMERA IS NOW BLACK AND NOT WORKING AT ALL. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND PIXELATED THEY OFFERED TO CHARGE ME OVER $400 TO JUST REPLACE IT. NOW WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE THE CAMERA IS BLACK, IT HAS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THE 2 LINES STILL SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, SO THE SCREEN IS NOT AN ISSUE BUT NO VIDEO. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO NOW WHEN I PUT MY BLINKER ON THE SIDE CAMERA SEEMS TO ROLL , LIKE AN OLD TV HORIZONTAL HOLD, BEFORE IT BECOMES CLEAR

THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AFTER COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. INJURIES SUSTAINED INCLUDE BURNS AND LACERATIONS TO FACE BETWEEN EYES, FOREHEAD, ABOVE UPPER LIP AND ON LOWER LIP.

ISSUE STARTED MARCH 29TH APPROX. 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH 68,000 MILES 1 OWNER (ME). TRIED TURNING ON CAR AND JUST CLICKED. FINALLY CAME ON AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS.TOOK TO MECHANIC AND QUOTED ME $600 FOR STARTER. DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY SO I KEPT HAVING ISSUE UNTIL IT JUST STOPPED TURNING ON. HAD MY STARTER REPLACED.

THE CAR WILL NOT START FROM THE FIRST PUSH OF STARTING BUTTON WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IT TAKES AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO START THE CART. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND BATTERY FOR KEYS. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY THE PROBLEM OF NOT STARTING FROM FIRST TIME STILL HAPPENED.

PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK AT TIMES. LEAVING ME STRANDED. VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FOR 2014 HONDA ACCORD AND EARLIER MODELS. NEEDS A RECALL.

GETTING INTO MY STATIONARY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION OF THE CAR, AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY WHETHER THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY, OR SUBSEQUENT TIME: I ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH THE "START" BUTTON. INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE TURNING OVER, I ONLY GET THE DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN ENGAGE THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE "START" BUTTON AGAIN. THIS GOES ON A FEW TIMES TO SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEMS TO BE VERY RANDOM. WHEN I FIRST BEGAN HAVING THIS ISSUE, I TOOK THE CAR INTO HONDA AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HAVING THE ISSUE (SO THEY SAID...). THEY SUGGESTED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STARTER, BATTERY, AND ALTERNATOR. I PAID A GRIP OF CASH TO FIX THESE ISSUES, AND THE CAR BECAME WORSE. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC THAT I TRUST AND I WILL SHOW HIM THE COUNTLESS POSTS THAT OTHERS HAVE POSTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO I CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE ISSUE WILL ACTUALLY BE FIXED. THEN I WILL SELL THIS CAR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND NEVER BUY A HONDA MADE CAR AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AND PRESSING THE PUSH TO START BUTTON, THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. ROCKETTOWN HONDA (1224 N H ST, LOMPOC, CA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

HELLO' WHENEVER I COLD START MY HONDA ACCORD, THERE'S A SHORT GRINDING NOISE AT THE START, IN WHICH DISAPPEARS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SECOND OR TWO OF THE GRINDING. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE COLD START SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THERE WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE FOR EARLIER YEARS OF THIS CAR.

INTERMITTENT STARTER PROBLEM WITH SEPARATE KEY FOBS SOME TIMES STARTS FINE OTHERS IT DOESN'T

CAR JUST TURNED 5 YEARS OLD WITH 85,000 MILES AND THE CAR WON'T START. I WAS ALMOST STRANDED AT THE COFFEE SHOP WHEN AFTER THE 12TH TIME TRYING TO START CAR IT STARTED. WHEN KEY TURNED NOTHING HAPPENS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO DEALER WHERE TOLD ME THE STARTER IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL PROBABLY NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE THEY WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR RELIABILITY BUT A $700 ISSUE ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR IS NOT RELIABLE. I WOULD'VE BOUGHT A CHEVY IF THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. WHEN I BOUGHT THE HONDA I WAS TOLD BY SALESMAN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING UNTIL 300,000 MILES. WELL I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO 100,000 MILES.

OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS BEEN REGULARLY EXPERIENCING STARTER ISSUES. WHEN STARTING THE CAR FROM "PARK," THE CAR WILL CLICK AS THOUGH THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE CHECKED OUT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT, AND AT THE FIVE YEAR MARK, WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING STARTER ISSUES. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN SHARED ONLINE IN FORUMS, VIDEOS, ETC. THE ISSUE IS NOW BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND MORE SERIOUS. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL LIKE THEY DID FOR THE 2013 ACCORD STARTERS!

WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE HAPPENS AND IT CAN GO AWAY OR REMAIN FOR MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE STARTER LIGHT IS ON DURING THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. IT MAY NOT HAPPEN FOR WEEKS THEN MULT TIMES A DAY

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LANECAMERA DOESN'T WORK OUT OF BLUE IT START WITH MY REVERSE CAMERA NOT WORKING NOT WRONG HAPPEN IT JUST STOP WORKING OUT OF BLUE PLEASE HAVE HONDA DEALER COVER IT BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE THANK YOU

I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH 30,000 MILES AND HAS A BAD STARTER. FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS , THE STARTER BUTTON HAD TO BE PUSHED SEVERAL TINES TO START ENGINE. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. HONDA HAS MADE A STARTER THAT WILL FAIL PREMATURE BECAUSE THE SOLENOID IS BUILT INSIDE THE STARTER AND CARBON FROM THE BRUSHES DESTROY SOLENOID CONTACTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE STARTER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE STARTER WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE FAILURE RECURRED A THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

STARTER MOTOR WOULD NOT START VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES. PROBLEM KEPT GETTING WORST UNTIL IT TOOK ABOUT 10-12 ATTEMPTS BEORE IT WOULD START. DEALER A ONE TIME GOOD FAITH REPLACEMENT AND CHARGED A $106.00 FEE. PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED FOR NOW. CAR HAD ABOUT 53K MILES.

THE MULTI-INFORMATIONAL DISPLAY AND RADIO TURN OFF RANDOMLY ON THEIR OWN AND RE-BOOT WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WHEN IT DOES OCCUR, USUALLY OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN UPON TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE LOCKED, UNLOCKED OR RE-STARTED.

"CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM" WARNING ALERTS TURNED ON AND VEHICLE ELECTRICAL STARTED SHORTING SOON AFTER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STARTED TO FAIL. MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME WHEN PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED. PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND CAME BACK. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID I HAD A BAD ALTERNATOR. ORIGINAL RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE (17V-418) STATED "THE BATTERY SENSOR CASE MOUNTED ON TOP OF 12 V BATTERY MAY HAVE GAPS THAT COULD ALLOW FOR MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. IF MOISTURE CONTAINING ROAD SALT ENTERS THE BATTERY SENSOR, IT COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY, A FIRE. THE CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR MAY ILLUMINATE IN THE MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY WHEN A PROBLEM IS DETECTED WITH THE BATTERY SENSOR PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT A SHORT MAY OCCUR." I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN WITH SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS BATTERY ISSUE MAY HAVE CAUSED MY ELECTRICAL FAILURE. DEALER SAID MY ALTERNATOR IS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND DIDN'T AGREE THAT THE BATTERY ISSUE MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $862.67 PLUS TOWING. AS I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ACCORD 2014. NOT SURE IF ANY RECOURSE IS POSSIBLE BUT THOUGHT I REPORT MY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR BODY AND OTHER REPAIRS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ELECTRONIC START BUTTON DOES NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. BATTERY IS FINE. POWER TO CAR TURNS ON BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER. NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE BY 2014 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS.

BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY SCREEN IS BLACK AND LANE DEPARTURE CAMERA NOT FUNCTIONING.

SINCE THE EXPIRATION OF THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY, THE FOLLOWING ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED. BOTH DOOR LOCKING ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THIS FAILURE REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER MOTOR HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED, CAUSING NO AIR TO FLOW THROUGH THE VENTS IN SOME OF THE HOTTEST AND COLDEST DAYS OF THE YEAR. MOST NOTICEABLY THE STARTER AND STARTER SOLENOID HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, PREVENTING THE ENGINE FROM STARTING, AND WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK THE CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. VERY SCARY SITUATION. IT GIVES NO WARNING, HE SAID.

I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT'S BURNING 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2 WEEKS. IT'S AGGRAVATING IT'S BURNING SO MUCH OIL AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REVIEWS ABOUT THIS MATTER WITH THE ACCORD MODEL AND HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS MATTER AND I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY WERE SAID THAT THEY WILL CHARGE ME $129.99 TO LOOK AT THE CAR WHEN I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FEEL SO DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE LEAVING THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS IN THE AIR WHEN THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP... I DRIVE A LITTLE IN THE CITY BUT MAINLY ON HIGHWAY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN IN ORDER FOR HONDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM... HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP

OUR CAR HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT AND THE STARTER WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING THE INTERNET THAT ISEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS QUIET OFTEN. IT COST AROUND $500.00 TO FIX IT AND IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AT THAT LOW A MILEAGE. WITH THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING SO OFTEN IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH HONDAS. THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT WE HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEARLERSHIP 2 TIMES TELLING THEM THE INDICATOR LIGHTS SAID STARTER PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT STOPS. THAT WAS VERY UPSETTING BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWHERE. I AM 83 YEARS OLD AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE IF IT HAPPENED AWAY FROM HOME, WE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE ALSO VERY RUDE TO US BECAUSE WE ARE OLD SAYING DO YOU KNOW YOU MUST PRESS THE BRAKE IN TO START IT? THEN SAYING MAYBE YOU SHOULD PRESS HARDER. THAT RESPONSE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO A MIDDLE AGE GENTLEMAN.

GRINDING NOISE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. GRINDING NOISE CAN OCCUR ONCE OR UP TO 10 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE WILL FINALLY START. ENGINE HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES WHEN INITIALLY OCCURRED. CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND MILEAGE.

THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND FAILED TO START AT 50K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. DEALER STATED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $900. DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH EXPENSE DESPITE LOW MILEAGE AND CLEARLY PREMATURE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT (72,000 MILES) HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START CAR, THERE WILL BE NO SOUNDS OR CLICKS, BUT ALL OF THE LIGHTS ENGAGE AS IF THE BETTER IS FULLY CHARGED. THEN AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER AND START AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG AT ALL. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS A STARTER ISSUE, BUT THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A NORMAL STARTER PROBLEM AS IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND MAKES NOT CLICKING SOUND. HAVE HAD ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE CONTACT PRESSED THE PUSH/START BUTTON TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

FOR MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2014, I STARTED HAVING STARTER ISSUES AFTER ABOUT 52K MILES. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE GENERALLY A STARTER IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LONG LASTING PART. HONDA DEALER DID NOT COVER IT STATING ITS PAST CARS WARRANTY. I DID CONTACT HONDA AND THEY ARE ALSO SAYING CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT CASE MAY BE REVIEWED BUT THAT MOSTLY IT'S NOT COVERED. I ALSO CHECKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF OTHER ACCORD OWNERS ALSO HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THIS REGARD.

MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW STARTER. THE CAR IS NOT MORE THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 47,000 IN MILEAGE. POOR HONDA! I'D LIKE A MORE RELIABLE CAR THAT WILL NOT KEEP ME STRANDED.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD. I BEGAN TO FEEL WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS "TREMORS" AS I WAS ACCELERATING THE CAR. I WAS GOING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 25 MPH. THE TREMORS WOULD OCCUR FOR A BIT THEN THE FEEL OF THE DRIVE WAS NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED ON AND OFF OVER THE NEXT 2-3 MILES. I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL, NOT WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT JUST WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. ONCE HONDA EVALUATED THE CAR AFTER CHARGING A $130 "DIAGNOSTIC" FEE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALERSHIP'S DISTRICT(?) SERVICE MANAGER TO "SEE WHAT HONDA WANTS TO DO ABOUT IT". THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WOULD BE $4,386.80 AND THAT HONDA WAS AGREEING TO COVER 60% OF THE COST AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING 40% OF THE COSTS, WHICH AMOUNTED TO $1,826.88 (INCLUDING TAXES). WHEN I ASKED WHAT SPECIFICALLY WAS WRONG WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION, I WAS SIMPLY TOLD "HONDA DOESN'T ALLOW US TO OPEN CVT TRANSMISSIONS." THIS SOUNDS VERY SUSPICIOUS TO ME. I NEED MY CAR, SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE I HAVE ANY CHOICE BUT TO PAY THE COSTS. HOWEVER, I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT I KEEP UP WITH THE ROUTINE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE AS SUGGESTED AT ABOUT 50K MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JULY 2014, SO IT IS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 65K MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE AT LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. HAD WE BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, WE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

I'VE NOTICED THAT THE CAR IS CONSUMING OIL AT LEAST 1 QUART BEFORE 1K MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT YONKERS HONDA ON 12/28/2018 AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED TO BRING BACK THE CAR AT 1K MILES FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST.

3 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH, TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING, AND TPMS. DEALER SAYS ITS THE ABS MODULE. AT ONLY 53,000 MILES, I BELIEVE THIS IS PREMATURE FAILURE. POOR DESIGN ON HONDA BEHALF. SAME WITH THE SMALL OEM BATTERY HONDA PUTS IN THESE VEHICLES. ALSO FAILED PREMATURELY. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL FOR ABS MODULE. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND TOOK 5 ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, VEHICLE WOULD START AND STALL, AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS VEHICLE STAYED ON WITH 3 WARNING LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY.

WENT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, CAME OUT OF BEST BUY AND STARTED CAR TO GO HOME, NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. TURNED CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND NOTICED THE SAME THING. WHILE TRYING TO TURN IT, IT PULSATES, AS IF THE SYSTEM IS ACTING UP. USED UBER TO GET HOME. CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING. DID SOME RESEARCH ON GOOGLE, THE ONLY WAY TO BYPASS POWER STEERING IS TO PULL THE FUSE SO WE PULLED THE FUSE AND DROVE CAR HOME IN MANUAL STEERING MODE. CHECKED CAR WITH OBD2 SCANNER, NO CODES. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THESE CARS DON'T HAVE STEERING PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, WHEN I CHECKED ON GOOGLE, IT LOOKS LIKE HONDA HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH STEERING ISSUES IN THE 2013/2014 ACCORD.

I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS AGO.THEY REPROGRAM A KEY AND REPLACE A RECALL SENSOR, SO I WAS TOLD. THEY ALSO DID A SYSTEM UPDATE.SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. 1ST WAS A CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS MY ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY, BUT THEY SAID WAS NOTHING. THREE DAYS AGO I GOT INTO MY CAR TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START STATED " FCW SYSTEM FAILED" AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS ITS STARTED BUT ACCELERATION WOULD NOT RESPOND. RMP STAYED BELOW 2000 EVEN WITH MY FOOT DEEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR FOR 20 MINS , THEN IT ACCELERATOR CAME BACK. BUT FWC AND ALL SERVICE LIGHTS STAYED ON. WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY ALL LIGHTS WENT AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE ACCELERATION OCCUR AGAIN. WHILE ON THE HIGH WAY IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. MADE IT HOME SAFE. AS I WAS ABOUT TO GET IN MY CAR AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. CAR HAS POWER BUT IS NOT STARTING. AT ONE POINT OF TRYING TO START MY MPH GAGED WAS FLICKING, EVEN AFTER I RELEASE THE START BUTTON. IVE READ MANY REPORTS BY CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FWC FAIL AS WELL AS THE STARTER SYSTEM. BASE ON MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT ONLY HONDA ACCORD 2014 HAVING THIS ISSUE. HONDA CANT SEEM TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS BAD. WHATEVER THE CAUSE MAY BE HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS. I WAS LEFT STRANDED WITH NO HELP AND NO ONE TO CALL ON. BECAUSE ONE MOMENT MY CAR WAS DRIVING LIKE THE 2014 CAR IT IS AND NEXT IT WAS NOT.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STAYING ON AND RUNNING , WHEN I COME TO TURN IT ON , IT SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HONDA DEALERS AND THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

I AM HAVING THE SAME STARTER ISSUES AS SO MANY ON A BLOG THAT I WAS READING AFTER HAVING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD FOR 4 YEAR. I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE STARTER AND THIS PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED ME 865. THEN I COMPLAIN AND THEY CALLED THE HONDA REP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY 200. I AM STILL IN A STATE OF SHOCK AFTER SEEING ALL THESE COMPLAIN AND HONDA HASN'T ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE YET. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND ITS REPUTATION

STARTER WENT BAD AND WAS INTERMITTENT. THE SOLENOID WOULD NOT WORK AT TIMES. ALSO ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER SLOWLY LIKE IT HAD A BAD BATTERY. REPLACED BATTERY 2X!!!

SHUTTER FROM TRANSMISSION, FLUID CHANGED, CHANGED AGAIN, FLUSHED 3 TIMES , STILL HAVE PROBLEM

PRESSING THE START BUTTON WITH KEY FOB NEXT TO IT TURNS ON THE IGNITION AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BUT DOES NOT CRANK THE ENGINE, WILL HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE ENGINE. THIS IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AND STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, SEEMS TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS THE LAST INCIDENT REQUIRED REPEATING 6 TIMES TO GET THIS STARTED. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND ONLY HAS 30K MILES, ALL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. DISAPPOINTED TO EXPERIENCE SUCH ISSUE FROM A HONDA AS THE DECISION TO PURCHASE WAS SOLELY BASED ON THE REPUTATION OF HONDA.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I AM NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR. THE BATTERY IS GOOD AND THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB HAS BEEN REPLACED. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS. AFTER AWHILE (A FEW MINUTES TO 30 MINUTES OR SO)THE CAR WILL CRANK. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL SOON BE STRANDED AND NOT ABLE TO WAIT THIS OUT.
