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 WAS BONE DRY. PLEASE READ THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS . THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR CARS IN THIS AGE RANGE .

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

2014 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH 28000 MILES. STARTED HAVING STARTING ISSUES APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 8 TRIES TO START AT TIMES THEN OTHER TIMES ,NO ISSUE AT ALL. NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, ONLY WHEN PARKED. CHANGED THE BATTERY WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE SINCE THIS IS AN IDENTIFIED ISSUE BY THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET. THE CARE REP "ANNA" INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BASICALLY NOTHING COULD BE DONE, AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. SHE INFORMED ME THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A STARTER ISSUE. I TOLD HER IT WASN'T. IT IS FAULTY DESIGN PART ISSUE BY HONDA. I ASKED HER WHY THE 2013 CARS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2014. HER RESPONSE WAS THAT THE 2014 CARS ARE NOT RECALLED.

PURCHASED 2014 ACCORD 5 YEARS AGO, AND MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO I CALLED TO GET MY CAR SERVICE SINCE MY OIL LIFE SAID I WAS AT 30%. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. OF COURSE, WHEN I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER I REACHED 1K MILES FROM MY OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID I MAY NEED TO REPLACE PISTON RINGS OR GET A NEW ENGINE. I FIND IT SURPRISING FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. HONDA MUST BE LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FAILING THE EMISSIONS TEST AS THEIR CARS ARE BURNING WAY TOO MUCH OIL. HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS; IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER CARS (HENCE THE RECALL FOR 2008-2011 MODELS) AND SEEMS LIKE IT CONTINUES TO BE PROBLEM FOR THE NEWER CARS. KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE GONE TO THE SAME DEALER FOR ALL OF MY SERVICES AND KEPT UP TO DATE WITH MAINTENANCE; AND I WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD LOW OIL IN THESE FIVE YEARS.

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 INFORMATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE FIX FROM AMERICAN HONDA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING AROUND OCT.1ST 2019. I HAVE 91,000 MILES AND HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AT 28,000 MILES IN JANUARY 2016. THE ISSUE IS MOST TIMES IT WILL TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 5 - 16 TURNS OF THE KEY BEFORE THE CAR STARTS, ITS TAKEN UP TO 40+ TIMES A FEW TIMES! I SEE THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS AT A GAS STATION AND WAS PHYSICALLY THREATENED BY A GUY WITH A KNIFE BECAUSE I FINISHED PUMPING MY GAS AND COULD NOT START MY CAR! I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR ON THE STREET SO THE CRAZED GUY COULD MOVE HIS CAR FROM BEHIND MINE. THIS ISSUE HAS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IT CAUSES MANY SAFETY ISSUES.

I HAVE HAD THE MESSAGE "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM" ON MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT FROM MOSES HONDA. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON IT AND TOOK IT IN AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID THE RECALL WOULD FIX IT. WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE LOT AT MOSES HONDA AFTER HAVING THE RECALL SUPPOSEDLY FIXED MY CAR STILL SAID "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM". TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER IN GEORGIA AND SAID NEEDS A NEW STARTER. STILL SAYS "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM". HONDA WILL NOT FIX IT'S CARS.

2014 HONDA ACCORD -MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UPON STARTUP. AN HOUR LATER, THE SYMPTOMS ARE GONE. HONDA HAS ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 16-011 STATING THAT THE CAUSE IS CORROSION BETWEEN THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AND THE CKP SENSOR CONNECTOR. HONDA'S CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AND THE CKP SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.
