2014 HONDA ACCORD Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING AND CONSUMED ONE QUART OF ENGINE OIL PER 1,000 MILES. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V121000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. METRO HONDA (4918 W HIGHWAY 74, MONROE, NC 28110, (704) 220-1500) WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND INFORMATION WHICH STATED THAT THE ENGINE'S SHORT BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

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?

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.

2014 HONDA ACCORD WILL NOT START. I PRESS THE BRAKE BUT IT'S HARD TO PRESS DOWN. PUSH START WILL NOT GO IN TO START THE CAR. THE CAR HAS A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS RESET. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'M EXPERIENCING THIS WITH MY CAR. THE CAR DOES NOTHING NO SOUND. EVERYTHING JUST LOCK UP. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA ACCORD 2014. THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AT 47K MILES AND AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED AT NARDY HONDA IT ONCE AGAIN BROKE DOWN AT 75K MILES . I HAVE AN 7 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND NARDY MGT. EXTENDED IT TO 112K MILES . NOW IN APRIL 2020 THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE ENGINE TROUBLE . I HAVE IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR VEHICLE SINCE NARDY WAS TOTALLY CLOSED DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS. ONCE AT HUNTINGTON HONDA, SERVICE MECHANIC SHOWS ME SOME THING HAPPENED TO THE WIRES ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BY THE FIRE WALL. HE STATED A RODENT MAY HAVE CHEWED SOME WIRES. THE SERVICE MGT. STATED I WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL. THEY PUT SOME KIND OF RODENT PROOF TAPE OVER THE AREA , BUT DIDN'T EXTENDED THE TAPE ANOTHER 2 FEET TO COVER...

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOOK, ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CAME ON, AND VEHICLE STALLED. VEHICLE TOWED TO MIDAS. MECHANIC THERE INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUE IS FAULTY ENGINE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2017 AND MAINTAIN COMPLETE UPKEEP OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

5 TIMES ONE OR MORE SPARK PLUGS FAILED, CAUSING POWER LOSS TO GASOLINE ENGINE, SLOWING CAR TO A STOP. EACH TIME, THE CAR WAS ON THE FREEWAY (CA-2), UTILIZING CRUISE CONTROL. DEALER REPLACED SPECIAL SPARK PLUGS AS A WARANTY ISSUE. HAPPENED 2X IN 2015, 1X IN 2017, 1X IN 2018, 1X IN 2020. THE CAR WAS CLIMBING A SLIGHT GRADE, WEATHER WAS VARIABLE (COOL TO HOT), ALWAYS ON CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED NEVER EXCEEDING 60 MPH.

THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK, AC WORKS, WINDOWS, EXCEPT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER. THE ENGINE DOES NOT START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS THE FIRST TIME, OTHER TIMES YOU ARE SITTING THERE TRYING TO START FOR 15, 20 MIN. THE FREQUENCY OF NON- START INCREASES AS TIME GOES ON. TEMPERATURE AND TIME DRIVEN DO NOT MATTER. IT'S HAPPENED IN 70 DEGREE WEATHER AND IN 15 DEGREE WEATHER. IT'S HAPPENED AFTER I'VE DRIVEN FOR 5 MIN OR 50 MIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHANGE OIL SERVICE LIGHT SHOWED 30 PERCENT OIL LIFE REMAINING IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE REMOVED THE DIPSTICK AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS. THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

MY CAR IS BURNING OIL. 1. THERE IS BLACK SUTT AROUND THE EXHAUST. 2. CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR. CAR HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LEFT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANKS!

2014 HONDA ACCORD WILL NOT START. IT STARTS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE, BUT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES IT EVENTUALLY STARTS, BUT OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO JUMP IT. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BOTH CHECK OUT FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A QUART OF OIL WAS NEEDED TO BE ADDED PER WEEK TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURE. THE CONTACT WHO WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, DIAGNOSED AND PROVIDED THE SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE.

SINCE ABOUT OCT 2019 HAD AN OIL LEAK BUT ALWAYS KEPT ENOUGH OIL IN CAR BY OCCASIONALLY CHECKING/FILLING WHEN NECESSARY THEN ON 2/17/20 WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT 55MPH THE CAR LOSS POWER SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK OIL LEVEL WHICH WAS FINE. THEN RESTARTED CAR BUT CAR WAS STILL UNDER POWERED BUCKING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. TOOK CAR IN TO FIND THAT 1 OF 4 CYLINDERS HAD ONLY 15% COMPRESSION WHY? BUT DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE ENGINE APART SO PUT IN NEW PLUGS AND POINTS BUT DIDN'T SOLVE PROBLEM. FOUND 2014 RECALL THAT WAS STRIKING SIMILAR BUT HONDA CLAIMS THAT RECALL DOESN'T COVER MY CAR?? PLEASE HELP BECAUSE THIS RECALL OF JULY 2014 MANUFACTURED CARS SHOULD POSSIBLY BE EXPANDED OR MAYBE ANOTHER RECALL IS NEEDED. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

VEHICLE RATTLES ON COLD START. FREQUENTLY BURNING OIL. HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED FEBRUARY 2014.

MY CAR WILL HAVE MOMENTS WHEN IT WILL NOT START. IN ORDER TO START MY VEHICLE, I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE KEY INTO IT TURNS ON. MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN CHECK BUT BOTH ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT WILL DO THIS IN VARIOUS SCENARIOS, IF THE CAR IS OFF 5 MINUTES OR 5 HOURS .

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH ONLY 76,000 MILES.

TODAY IS FEBRUARY 24 2020 AND MY CAR STARTED DOING A WEIRD NOISE ON THE ENGINE WHAT IT SOUND LIKE A MISFIRE BUT ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING UP ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE LOSING POWER ON IT WAS VERY SCARY CUZ A LOT OF CARS WERE PASSING BY AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY I WAS REAL SCARY CARS ALMOST HIT ME .. THE CAR WAS SERVICE A WEEK BEFORE THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS WHICH GOT DONE ON IT EVER SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS HAD A WEIRD RATTLING NOISE WHEN STARTING IT UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY HOPE THESE ISSUES ARE CORRECTED BYE DINNERS UNDER SHIPS OR MANUFACTURERS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES THANK YOU.

LOUD RATTLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ON COLD START UP.

ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY UPON STARTUP. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED DURING ENTIRE PERIOD OF ORIGINAL OWNERSHIP. APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ENGINE ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS STEERING ISSUES EVEN AFTER ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE HAS ISSUES STARTING ENGINE

I BELIEVE IT IS A STARTER ISSUE. WHEN I GO TO START THE VEHICLE IT WILL OFTEN STALL AND NOT THE START THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES AND I CAN HEAR IT TRY TO START BUT FAIL. THE CAR ONLY HAS 39K MILES ON IT AND I WAS DOING MY RESEARCH AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2014 ACCORD. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND FIXED BY HONDA OR REFUNDED FOR REPAIR BY HONDA.

OIL IS EXCESSIVELY BURNING. ALTERNATOR ISN'T CHARGING CAR BATTERY.

DURING COLDER WEATHER AND UPON COLD START ENGINE RATTLES UNTIL CAR ENGINE IS WARM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PUSH START FEATURE WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ESSERMAN LARGE HONDO (554 NEE AVE, FLORIDA CITY, FL 33034, (844) 329-6036) TWICE. DURING BOTH VISITS, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NETS CAMPAIGN NUMBER: (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

DEFECTIVE STARTER; I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STARTER. AT TIMES MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD V6 WILL NOT START. AFTER THE THIRD TIME, IT WILL START SUCCESSFULLY.

2014 HONDA ACCORD LX 2.4 CAR HAS BEEN BURNING EXCESS OIL OF ABOUT 1 QUART PER 500 MILES. LOW PRESSURE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH CAR STALLING. THIS HAPPENED AFTER RELATIVELY SHORT INTERVALS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND ADDS. TAILPIPE HAS EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILDUP. REPLACED PCV VALVE AND ISSUE CONTINUES. CAR ONLY HAS 100K MILES ON IT. DEALERS ARE OF NO HELP AND DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM HAS NORMAL. HONDA HAS A RECALL ON OLDER MODEL (2008-2011) MODELS SO IT APPEARS THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THEIR ENGINE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE 1000S OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT'S TIME THAT HONDA RECALLS THESE VEHICLES. I'M SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS OUT THERE WHO ARE UNAWARE OF THIS THAT COULD HAVE A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE . I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE. OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL LOW PRESSURE LIGHT FLICKERED . WHEN I CHECKED OIL IT...

ON FRIDAY, 11/15/19, MY CAR NOTIFIED ME TO CHECK MY FUEL CAP, SO I CHECKED IT AND CLOSED IT UNTIL THE HEARING THE CLICKING SOUND. ON SATURDAY11/16/19, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; I'D BEEN SMELLING A STRONG SMELL OF GAS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE OF MY HOME, I HAD SOMEONE TO GO AND CHECK MY HOME AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG THERE. IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS PUMPING GAS INTO MY CAR (TURNED OFF), AND WHEN IT REACHED FULL, THE HANDLE CLICKED, AND I COULD HEAR THE GAS POURING OUT ONTO THE GROUND.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD STARTS BY A KEY FOB AND PUSH BUTTON STARTER. RECENTLY, THE CAR WOULD TAKE 5-6 ATTEMPTS TO START.. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. IT JUST WILL NOT CRANK OVER. I HAVE ABOUT 65,000 MILES BUT AS I RESEARCH "STARTER PROBLEMS OF THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD", I GET OVER 70 OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM ONE WEBSITE. SOME OF THE OTHER SAME COMPLAINTS WITH MILEAGE FROM 15,000 TO MORE THAN 70,000. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, 1-800-999-1009, AND MY CASE NUMBER IS: [XXX]. I SPOKE TO [XXX] ON 10/31/19. SHE SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS "ISSUE" BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING I ASKED HOW MANY COMPLAINTS MUST THEY HAVE BEFORE THEY DO AN OFFICIAL RECALL. SHE CANNOT ANSWER. I ASKED IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ME IN LIGHT OF SO MANY COMPLAINTS? SHE SAYS NO, IT IS OVER THE WARRANTY. I COULD NOT OBTAIN ANY...

THE CAR IS BURNING OIL. I COMPLETED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AS REQUESTED BY THE HONDA DEALER AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS HIGH, LEADING THEM TO CONCLUDE THAT THE CAR IS BURNING OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, A WHINING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. OCCASIONALLY, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED MORSE HONDA (3790 W BLUE HERON BLVD, RIVIERA BEACH, FL 33404) WHERE THE STARTER WAS EXAMINED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-002. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

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...

PUSH BUTTON START WILL NOT WORK. DASH LIGHTS UP, BUT DOESN'T START MOTOR. PUSH IN ON BRAKE AND PRESSINGS THE START BUTTON MANY TIMES AND IT WILL START. WHERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE HELP US. YOU CAN PULL UP VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE . THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2013 MODEL

PARKED IN STORE PARKING LOT, VEH TURNED OFF FOR APROX 30 MIN. VEHICLE NEEDED MULTIPLE TRIES TO START. REPL BATTERY, WAS BETTER FOR A WEEK. NEEDED 8-10 TRIES TO START YESTERDAY. WOULD JUST CLICK WHEN TURNING THE KEY. TAKING IN TO HAVE STARTER REPLACED. VEHICLE ONLY HAD 60K MILES, SHOULD NOT BE NEEDING A STARTER THIS SOON. STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN THE PAST MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,314.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I WENT TO START IT IT WOULDN'T START I TRIED MAYBE JUMPING IT BUT IT WASN'T WORKING SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. AND TURNS OUT IT WAS THE LITTLE CONNECTOR TO THE BATTERY TERMINAL SO I PURCHASED THE PART AT THE DEALER AND HAD THE MECHANIC INSTALL IT THE FIRST TIME. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE FIRST TIME I DID IT THE PART WAS A RECALL SO PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET MYSELF . AND NOW FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN IS A BUMMER SO I SHOULD OF FILED A COMPLIMENT THE FIRST TIME AROUND BUT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT I FIGURED IT MIGHT OF BEEN SOMETHING I DID BUT NOW I KNOW NOW . AND IT'S THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE...

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...

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD PLUG IN HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING (ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD). NO WARNING LIGHTS OR NOISES TO GIVE ME THE FYI THAT IT'S STALLING, IT JUST SUDDENLY STARTS TO SLOW AND IF I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL IT COMPRESSES TO THE FLOOR WITH EASE...IT ALSO SHOWS ME IN EV MODE WHEN THE CAR HAS NO EV CHARGE REMAINING. 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....

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....

WHEN I HAD OIL CHANGED THERE WAS NO OIL SHOWING ON DIP STICK. CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES

ENGINE CONSTANTLY BURNS OIL AND NEEDS TO BE REFILLED

STARTER IS FAILING FROM TIME TO TIME. WHEN USING PUSH-BUTTON START, SOMETIMES THE STARTER MAKES A STRONG GRINDING NOISE AND DOES NOT START THE VEHICLE. IT WILL SOMETIMES DO THIS FOR ONE, TWO, OR THREE ATTEMPTS IN A ROW. EVENTUALLY, THE STARTER WILL WORK. I'M AFRAID THE STARTER WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL COMPLETELY. CAR HAS LESS THAN 75,000 MILES.

STARTER GRINDS OR SPINS AT STARTUP. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT GETS WORSE OVER TIME UNTILL THE CAR WON'T START AT ALL LEAVING YOU STRANDED. HONDA RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN 16-002 THAT COVERS THE PROBLEM AND THE FIX FOR IT.

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....

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...

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...
