ENGINE TAKES LONG TO START. STARTER DOESN'T TURN OVER. STARTER TAKES UP TO MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BEFORE ENGINE TURNS ON. ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF THE PROCESS START OVER AGAIN. IT TAKES ME ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 20 MINS TO START THE CAR.

PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL GO THROUGH START SEQUENCE BUT DOES NOT TURN OVER ENGINE. HAVE TO WAIT A PERIOD OF TIME TO START OR TRY MULTIPILE TIMES UNTIL TURNS OVER. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS SEVERAL TIMES. ON REVIEW OF INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GRINDING & SPINNING NOISE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY START AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. THIS SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM AFRAID ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS COULD CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS GRINDING AND THE CAR COULD FAIL TO START WHEN INVOLUNTARILY STOPPED ON A BUSY FREEWAY OR IN AN UNSAFE PARKING LOT, PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY OTHER TIME I START THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE SECOND OR THIRD ATTEMPT. I RECALL THAT THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED HAPPENING PROBABLY ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2014 BUT I KEPT THINKING THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO ME NOT PUSHING THE BUTTON PROPERLY AS THIS WAS THE FIRST CAR I OWNED WITH A PUSH BUTTON. THIS IS AN ISSUE HONDA APPARENTLY KNEW ABOUT AND ISSUED A TSB (#16-002) IN 2016 WHEN MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HONDA AND THEIR DEALERS DID NOT DISCLOSE IT TO ME DURING THE MANY ITEMS I TOOK MY CAR TO THEM AND ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVER ENTERED CAR AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING. CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE AND LIGHT ACCELERATOR PRESSURE WAS APPLIED APPROPRIATE FOR MOVING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. CAR PROCEEDED TO ADVANCE SLOWLY AT FIRST BUT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE AMOUNT OF RAPID AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS INCONSISTENT AND DISPROPORTIONATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND EFFORT THAT WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR WHEN ADVANCING FROM THE PARKING SPACE. THREE (3) PEDESTRIANS WERE EITHER HIT DIRECTLY BY THE CAR OR THE RESULTANT DEBRIS FROM THE ACCIDENT. TWO (2) REQUIRED MEDICAL CARE/HOSPITALIZATION. ADDITIONALLY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE GROCERY STORE AND VEHICLE. THE COST TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN APPRAISED AT ABOUT $9,500. THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF INJURIES TO PEDESTRIANS AND DAMAGE TO BUILDING HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD ACCORDING TO PUBLIC NHTSA DATABASE REPORTING HAS EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 17 SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTS (SAE) ATTRIBUTED TO FAILED VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WITH STRIKINGLY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDING TO NHTSA PUBLIC REPORTINGS HONDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF SOME OF THESE 17 SAES. THE SAES ARE NOT LIMITED TO JUST 2014 HONDA ACCORDS. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER MODEL YEARS IN 9TH GENERATION ACCORDS. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORDS ARE PART OF THE 9TH GENERATION HONDA ACCORDS FROM (2013 TO 2017) IN NORTH AMERICA. REQUEST NHTSA INVESTIGATE SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTS IN 9TH GENERATION HONDA ACCORDS (2013 TO 2017) IN NORTH AMERICA. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF INSTANCES OF SAE TO OBSERVE A CLEAR AND PRESENT PATTERN TO WARRANT AN IN-DEPT INVESTIGATION. THERE HAVE BEEN PRIOR INSTANCES OF HONDA RECALLING VEHICLES DUE TO SAE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD CAR COULD NOT START WITHOUT TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS. ON JULY 31 2019, I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER FOR POSSIBLE BATTERY PROBLEM BUT WAS FOUND THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER, THE CAR WAS SHOWING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I.E, BY TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR WITH THE FIRST AND SOMETIMES WITH THE SECOND ATTEMPT. ON AUGUST 13 2019, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY SUPERVISOR THAT THE STARTER WAS NO LONGER GOOD SO NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS WAS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO. I ARGUED WITH THE PERSON THAT HANDLED MY CAR THAT WHY THE STARTED COULD GO BAD WHILE DRIVEN 30,883 MILES ONLY. THE ONLY ADVISE I WAS GIVEN WAS THAT IF I DIDN'T CHANGE THE STARTER, THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY STOP FROM STARTING. SO I DECIDED THE DEALER TO PUT A NEW STARTER WITH A TOTAL OF $798.25 PRICE TAG.

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 TO DO I FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT JUST COMES BACK

THERE WAS A BATTERY ELECTRICAL SENSOR RECALLED IN WHICH I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED BUT NOW THE MECHANIC IS SAYING THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE STARTER SENSOR DELAYS. MY CAR HAS 75K AND TAKES 6 OR SO TIMES TO START WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON. THERE APPEARS TO BE A LARGE COMMUNITY OF 2013-2014 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED EVERY 20K THEREAFTER. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. WITH HAVING A BABY IN THE CAR, I CANNOT AFFORD TO BECOME STRANDED IN THE HEAT, NOT TO MENTION THE HIGH EXPENSE THIS COSTS WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT NEED TO BE FIXED AGAIN AFTER 20K MILES. LONG TIME HONDA OWNER WHO DOES NOT WANT TO SWITCH BRANDS BUT NEEDS SAFETY AND INTEGRITY TO BE TOP PRIORITY FROM A CAR MANUFACTURER.

I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER ON THIS CAR 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. SOME DAYS THE CAR STARTS JUST FINE AND OTHER TIMES YOU GO TO ART ART THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T START AND MAKES THIS TERRIFYING GRINDING NOISE. HONDA REALLY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE CAR ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO BE HAVING THESE KIND OF ISSUES. I AM ALWAYS FEARFUL THAT I'M GOING TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEED TO GET OUT OF SOMEWHERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO SO DUE TO THE CAR NOT STARTING RIGHT. IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO TAKE MY FAMILY PLACES FOR FEAR THAT WE WILL BE STRANDED. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED DUE TO THIS CAR NOT STARTING AT ALL A FEW MONTHS AFTER REPLACING THE STARTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

I NOTICE COUPLE OF WEEK AGO THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST PUSH BUTTON PRESS. THE COST HONDA DEALER GAVE ME FOR THE REPAIR WAS $755.00. I CALLED HIM BACK THE NEXT DAY TO INFORM HIM ABOUT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STARTER FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I'VE READ AND PLAIN AS DAY HE SAY HONDA HAS NO REPORTS ABOUT THIS BEING A ON GOING ISSUES. I ALSO CALL THE HONDA CUSTOMER CARE LINE, AND AFTER BEING PLACE ON HOLD SEVERAL TIMES, I RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER.
