ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN APARKING LOT AS I HAD TO DO A QUICK ERRAND AT COSTCO. CAR WAS TURNED OFF WITH FAN RUNNING. MY WIFE STAYED BACK IN THE CAR. AFTER I CAME BACK AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINS, THE TRUNK WONT OPEN AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN CAR WERE OFF. CAR WONT START AT ALL. I TRIED STARTING FOR FEW MINS WITHOUT FAIL. LUCKILY I COULD JUMP START THE CAR USING THE JUMP START KIT IN COSTCO TIRE CENTRE. I TOOK IN THE CAR TO DEALER AS THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE AND BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIME AROUND EVERYTHING WAS OK. DEALER ADVISED ME TO NOT RUN THE ACCESORIES WITHOUT CAR ENGINE RUNNING. DEALER MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP CAR WEIGHT LOW, MANUFACTURERS ARE SWITCHING TO SMALLER AND SMALLER BATTERIES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE OCCUPANTS ARE AT PHYSICAL RISK IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE A DESOLATE PLACE OR CAR COULD BE UNAVAILABLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. MITIGATIONS EXPECTED ARE (1) CAR COMPUTERS SHOULD DETECT BATTERY DRAIN AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF TO ALLOW FOR CAR TO START, (2) HAVE A SECONDARY BATTERY BACKUP JUST FOR THESE SITUATIONS, (3) THERE IS SHOULD BE OPTION TO SWITCH TO A BIGGER BATTERY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
OIL LIFE AT 40%. CAR WAS MAKING NOISE. WHILE DRIVING AND PRESSED ON BRAKES ...OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. CHECKED OIL ON CAR. NO DROP OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NO LEAKS.. CARBON FOUND ON CYLINDERS, INSIDE ENGINE AND ON PINSTON RINGS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES, FUEL INJECTION WAS CLEANED, AND CVT TRANSMISSION IS ALSO REPLACED CONSISTENTLY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 6MONTHS AGO. ENGINE IS CURRENTLY DISMANTLED AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER! COMPLETELY UPSETTING!

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE IS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. ON SOME MORNINGS, IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 OR MORE TIMES TO ACTUALLY START MY VEHICLE, AND SOME MORNINGS IT WILL TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY. IT IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE I HAVE A 2014 VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AS FAR AS IT STARTING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON NEWER HONDAS FOR THIS EXACT REASON, THE STARTER. AS ALWAYS, MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO START IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I NOTICED THAT BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND 4 DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME OUT AT THE SAME TIME(ABS, BRAKE, VSA, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), I WENT TO BRAMAN HONDA DEALER LOCATED AT 7000 CORAL WAY MIAMI, FL.33155 ON 11/20/17, THEY CHANGED VSA MODULATOR AND THEY CHARGED ME $1263.09. SINCE THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SAFETY AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 29,000MILES, I DECIDED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA BUT THEY DID NOT HELP ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I REALLY WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND CALL FOR SAFETY RECALL ASAP SINCE I COULD BE DEAD. I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER HONDAS FROM SAME YEAR ARE REPORTING SAME COMPLAINT. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS 3RD COMPLAINT! SEE PRIOR COMPLAINTS - 11003743 AND 11035177. AS NOTED BEFORE, MILEAGE (WHEN PROBLEM STARTED) IN 2ND COMPLAINT MORE ACCURATE. ORIGINAL STARTER REPLACED AT JUST UNDER 60K MILES. MILEAGE NOW AT 63730. CAR FAILED TO START NO MATTER WHAT!!! ON 11/22/17, TRIED JUMP STARTING, P OR N, PUT CAR IN R AND ROLLED BACK A FOOT, THEN P OR N - NOTHING. PUSHED BUTTON - NO NOISE... NO CLICKING, GRINDING... TRIED FOR OVER 30 MINUTES... BATTERY GOOD, REMOTE GOOD, CONNECTIONS GOOD, DASH LIGHTS ALL APPEAR NORMAL. TOWED TO MECHANIC - REPLACED STARTER AGAIN. HE STARTED IT 20+ TIMES - SEEMED OK, MOVED IT TO HIS PARKING AREA. ON 11/25 I PICKED IT UP - WENT TO START IT - GOT GRINDING NOISE - HEARD BY MECHANIC. STARTED 3RD TIME. HAS DONE THIS - EITHER GRINDING OR SPINNING NOISE 3 TIMES ALREADY TODAY(11/25) - EVEN AFTER I GOT HOME, WHILE TRYING 'DEAD REMOTE' KEY STARTING PROCEDURE... WOULD MAKE NOISES, THEN START 2ND OR 3RD TIME. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS! PLEASE PUSH THE INVESTIGATION! HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND COME UP WITH A FIX. I THINK IF ONE EXAMINES THE CHANGES THEY HAVE MADE TO THIS VEHICLE AFTER 2015, ONE CAN SEE THAT THEY KNEW OF A PROBLEM AND TOOK STEPS TO FIX IT. JUST HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF US WHO ARE 'STUCK'. RESALE VALUE WILL PLUMMET ON THESE CARS! CALL ME!! TAKE THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE - ANYTHING!! NOTE - REPLACEMENT STARTER IS A BENDIX AFTERMARKET WITH LIFETIME WARRANTY - THIS IS NOT A STARTER PROBLEM - IT IS A DESIGN FLAW CAUSING STARTER PROBLEMS AND/OR CAUSING NO/LOW/IMPROPER VOLTAGE OR CURRENT TO BE APPLIED TO THE STARTER.

WHEN WE PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON TO CRANK THE ENGINE, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OCCURS (AS WHEN YOU TRY TO START AN ENGINE THAT IS ALREADY RUNNING). BEGAN AROUND 23,000 MILES, AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS MADE AWARE OF PROBLEM TWICE BEFORE 36,000 MI. WARRANTY EXPIRED. HONDA SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU START VEHICLE...WITH 4 OR 5 ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY START CAR. GRINDING AT EVERY ATTEMPT. NOW AT 48,000 MILES , WE'RE TOLD THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT...AROUND $900. WE NOTICED THAT THERE IS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON LINE WITH SAME PROBLEM. PLUS MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO CONFIRM IT. WE ALSO HAVE READ REPORTS THAT HONDA STARTERS FOR THESE MODEL YEARS WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY/IMPROPERLY, WITH HONDA AWARE OF IT. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ANYWHERE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY 2014 ACCORD EX SEDAN IS ON RECALL NOTICE AND I AM HAVING A FINAL REPAIR ON THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENOR NEXT WEEK. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I AM EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY TRYING TO START MY CAR. WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES THE CARE DOES NOT START. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE NOV. 2013 AND HAVE ONLY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ALL SYMBOLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT UP AND QUICKLY GO OFF AND I GET A NOTICE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "POWER IS ON": WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN 1-3 TIMES, THE CAR STARTS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH STALLING OR CUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. MY BATTERY IS ONLY 2 YR. OLD. AND IT WAS JUST CHECKED LAST MONTH AND THE CHARGE WAS OK. CLEARLY THERE IS A SHORT AFFECTING IGNITION OF THE IGNITION OF THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED HAS SO FAR ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I ONLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND IS QUITE DISTURBING; IT CAN BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS ISSUED HONDA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAMPAIGNS F/ RECALL NOTICES FOR OTHER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT YET FOR MY 2014 SEDAN. IT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. FROM REVIEWING THE NHTSA COMPLAINT DATABASE IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NHTSA AND HONDA AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS COMPLAINT BE EXPEDITIOUSLY INVESTIGATED AND THE PROBLEM FOR MY CAR AND IS RECOGNIZED AS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE HONDA PRODUCTS FOR MANY YEARS AND HONDA FIGURE OUT A PERMANENT SOLUTION. I AM REQUESTING THAT HONDA COVERS THE COST OF PARTS/LABOR TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I AM PAST THE REGULAR WARRANTY PERIOD (EXCEPT I AM STILL WITHIN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ) THIS WEEK (NOVEMBER 13 TO 11/17) PROBLEM OCCURRED 4 TIMES.
