SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

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.

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!
