ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REF PRIOR COMPLAINTS 11048722, 11035177, 11003743... ON 1/9/18, A NEW REMANUFACTURED STARTER PURCHASED FROM HONDA, WAS INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE. MILEAGE WAS 64740. TODAY, 2/22/18, THE GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED ON ONE START ATTEMPT - THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THE NEW STARTER - MILEGAE IS 65880. SO, IN JUST OVER 1100 MILES, 1 1/2 MO, AND AN AVERAGE OF MAYBE 40 TO 50 STARTS/WEEK, THE PROBLEM IS RESURFACING. I HAD THIS VEHICLE AT HONDA TO COMPLETE A PRIOR RECALL - ON 12/13/17 AND IT DID NOT START THERE. SERVICE MANAGER MADE EXCUSE ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT STARTER NOT BEING FROM HONDA... WELL - THIS ONE IS... SOMETHING IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. WHILE IT MANIFESTS AS A MECHANICAL GRINDING, CLICKING NOISE, IT IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM AS HAS BEEN NOTED BEFORE, AND IT IS VERY RANDOM... HOW AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO RE-SELL A VEHICLE WITH SUCH A PROBLEM - A HONDA DESIGN FLAW HAS CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE CAR'S VALUE, NOT TO MENTION EXPENSES AND TIME LOST. SEE OLD/NEW STARTER PIX... PLEASE KEEP THE INVESTIGATION MOVING FORWARD - I HAVE SUFFERED A LOSS, AS HAVE MANY OTHERS!!

ENGINE
MY 2014 ACCORD, PURCHASED IN APRIL 2014, BEGAN BURNING OIL AND HAD TO HAVE EXTENSIVE WORK/REPAIRS DONE. ACCORDING TO A RECALL NOTICE ON MODELS MANUFACTURED SHORTLY AFTER MINE, A SIMILAR ISSUE OCCURRED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CENTER THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL CARS THE SAME MODEL AS MINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL NOTICE HAD BEEN ISSUED YET. IF NOT ALREADY DONE, I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL. I CAN SEND DOCUMENTS OF WHAT WORK WAS DONE.

MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH 2013-2014 HONDA ACCORD ENGINE STARTER FAILING JUST OUT OF THE HONDA MILEAGE/YEAR WARRANTY, YET HONDA DOES NOT CHOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A RECALL FOR THIS PART.

THE KEYLESS ENTRY ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN WITHOUT HAVING THE KEY IN THE CAR. ACCORDING TO HONDA, THIS IS A FEATURE. AS I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE MANY MILES TO BRING THE KEY (WHICH WAS IN THE CAR WHEN IT WAS STARTED, BUT LEFT IN THE HOUSE BEFORE DRIVING OFF) TO MY HUSBAND BECAUSE HE DIDN'T REALIZE HE DID NOT HAVE HIS KEY UNTIL HE WENT TO START HIS CAR. HE WAS 9 MILES AWAY FROM OUR HOME. IN MY MIND, THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN BECOME STRANDED WITHOUT KNOWING IT.

ENGINE
WHEN I START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START ALL THE TIME, SPORADICALLY I WOULD GET NO START. THE LIGHT, ACC, RADIO, NAV EVERYTHING TURNS ON BUT THE ENGINE WONT START. I TRY AGAIN FEW TIMES IT WILL START, I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY 2014, 31000 MILES ON IT TILL DATE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2017, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED THEN THEY SOLD ME A BATTERY THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE "NO START" PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA AND INQUIRED AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEIR DEALERSHIP IS ABLE TO RE CREATE IT. 3 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM BECAME SO WORSE I WOULD GET NO START 2ND/3RD TIME I START THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY IDENTIFIED IT'S THE STARTER AND WOULD COST ME $1000 TO REPLACE. ONCE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED, I HAD THE PROBLEM RESURFACE 4 TIMES THAT MONTH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE STARTER AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. 3 WEEKS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, 4 TIMES NO START IN THE SAME WEEK, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY ROTATED THE GEAR PINION RING/ADJUSTED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AS PER HONDA. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, THESE SERVICE GUYS AT THE DEALERSHIP I'M GOING ARE EXCELLENT BUT I CANT IMAGINE I'M DRIVING HONDA 'S TOP OF THE CLASS ACCORD EX-L WHICH IS SO VERY UNRELIABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS DISPUTE RELATED TO 2014 HONDA ACCORD SAFETY RECALL 17V-418. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, MOISTURE IS ENTERING INTO THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY SYSTEM WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF ABOVE RECALL. A MONTH BEFORE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE, MY CALL STALLED AT A GAS STATION ON OCTOBER 12, 2017 AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER DISCOVERED THAT SEVERE CORROSION DAMAGED THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND THE CABLE BROKE OFF. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND BATTERY WAS $735.52. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL 17V-418, THE ISSUE WE EXPERIENCED IS RELATED. DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW, THE MOISTURE IS DAMAGING VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE BATTERY SYSTEM. I FILED A CLAIM (CASE # 06489520) WITH HONDA FOR REIMBURSEMENT BUT MY REQUEST HAS BEEN DENIED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE PURCHASE. THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS THAT MOISTURE ENTERING THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND THE HONDA SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REIMBURSE THE COST OF REPAIR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR IS $735.52 + $65 (TOWING) = $800.52.
