ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY VEHICLE'S STARTER PERIODICALLY GRINDS AND WILL NOT ENGAGE THE RING GEAR TO START THE ENGINE. HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IMPROPER INSTALLATION AT THE FACTORY CAUSED THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE STARTER MOTOR GEAR AND TORQUE CONVERTER RING GEAR TO BE IMPROPER. SEE TSB 16-002. THE STARTER WILL ENGAGE AFTER REPEATED (SOMETIMES 5+) ATTEMPTS. IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO EXPERIENCE A STALL WHILE DRIVING, THE INABILITY TO RESTART THE ENGINE COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. IN ADDITION, A STARTER THAT RANDOMLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY FAILS TO ENGAGE COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO BE STRANDED IN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. HONDA HAS DECLINED TO EXTEND WARRANTY COVERAGE TO THIS PART THAT HAS FAILED DUE TO AN ADMITTED ERROR ON THEIR PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
STARTER BEGAN GRINDING AND SKIPPING AT 55,000 MILES. I DRIVE 70 MILES ROUND TRIP EACH DAY, SO THE MILEAGE DOESN'T REPRESENT THE ACTUAL LIMITED AMOUNT OF STARTS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. TSB FROM HONDA DECLARES 'IMPROPER CLEARANCE IN STARTER WITH PINION GEAR MAY CAUSE STARTING MALFUNCTION.' MUST ROTATE TORQUE CONVERTER BOLTS ONE ROUND CLOCKWISE AND REPLACE STARTER TO FIX. BUT, THIS WON'T FIX THE ISSUE. THE IMPROPER CLEARANCE IS A DESIGN FLAW. NEW STARTER WILL DO THE SAME THING. IF THE STARTER MALFUNCTIONS AGAIN, THEN A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER IS REQUIRED. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND UNFOUNDED IN CAR MAINTENANCE. A BAD STARTER DESIGN COSTS OWNERS +3,400$ TO REMEDY THE SECOND TIME. WHICH STILL WON'T FIX IT. THE THIRD STARTER STILL WON'T HAVE THE PROPER CLEARANCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR DOES NOT START EVEN THOUGHT BATTERY IS FINE. HONDA IS UNWILLING TO HELP WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC FEE ON AN ISSUE MANY 2013-2015 ACCORD MODELS HAVE. CAR WAS PARKED AFTER RUNNING COMPLETELY FINE, WHEN I WAS TRYING TO START IT AGAIN IT REFUSED TO TURN ON COMPLETELY. TIRE LIGHT FLASHES AND AVS/ENGINE/BATTERY LIGHT ARE ON.

MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A CAUSE. THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRONIC, AS MY VEHICLE IS A HYBRID.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE IS NOT STARTING WHEN I PUSH THE IGNITION. I'VE BEEN TO MANY FORUMS WHERE SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AND MANY SOLUTIONS TRIED BUT NO FIX FOUND. PEOPLE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND STILL NO FIX. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTED WITH NO ISSUE FOUND. HONDA ISSUED TSB 16-002 FOR V6 ACCORD MODELS BUT DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE ON MY V4 MODEL. VEHICLE IS PARKED - ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I AM NOT DRVING IT! SPOKE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER COMPLAINT REP AND INFORMED THAT THE TSB STILL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY CAR. IN THE MID-WEST DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THE RISK OF BEING STRANDED IN SUB-ZERO TEMPS IS VERY REAL WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME TWICE.

POWER TRAIN
2015 HONDA ACCORD V6 BOUGHT AS NEW NOW WITH 72K MILES HAS STARTER PROBLEM. CAR WILL HAVE A WINDING/GRINDING NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START (FROM OFF AND STATIONARY POSITION) BUT WILL NOT START. WHEN INSPECTING PROBLEM, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FLYWHEEL HAS BEEN DAMAGED LIKELY DUE TO MISALIGNMENT OF TORQUE CONVERTER RING GEAR OR BAD STARTER MOTOR. CALLED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE COMPONENTS ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTIES. SERVICE CAMPAIGN ONLINE WAS FOUND WITH REFERENCE TSB NO. 16-002 ISSUED FEBRUARY 5, 2016. BUYER WAS NOT AWARE OF SUCH PROBLEMS SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE AS HONDA NEVER ISSUED A RECALL OR MAILED OUT NOTIFICATION TO THE BUYER. MANY HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE ONLINE. BUYER WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF SERVICE BULLETIN VIA PAPER OR ELECTONIC MAIL, NO RECALL WAS MADE, CAR IS NOW APPARENTLY NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND REQUIRING MULTIPLE PARTS REPAIRS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH STARTING. I HEAR AND SEE A FLICKER ON THE DASHBOARD AND LIGHTS, HOWEVER IT DOESN'T START.I PLUG A JUMPER PACK IN AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTS, AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS WILL HAVE 5-6 TIMES A WEEK AFTER RUNNING FINE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. JUST HAPPENS SURPRISINGLY. THE STARTER HAS BEEN REPLACED IN WHICH THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS WAS THE ISSUE. THERE IS CLEARLY SOME OTHER ISSUE HAPPENING, MAYBE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT THEY REFUSED TO CHECK TO EVEN HELP DIAGNOSE AGAIN.

VEHICLE NEEDS NEW BATTERY EVERY 2 YEARS. HAS LEFT ME STRANDED TWICE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. HONDA HAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL SOME TYPE OF BATTERY SENSOR BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED. THERE ARE TWO TSB'S THAT I KNOW OF: TSB 16-002 AND TSB 17-057. CAR GURUS WEBSITE HAS A BLOG WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF ACCORD OWNERS ALL IN THE SAME BOAT. PEOPLE ARE REPLACING STARTERS, ALTERNATORS, IGNITION SWITCHES, BATTERIES, ETC. TO NO AVAIL. HONDA HAS TURNED ITS BACK ON ITS CUSTOMERS. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS. PLEASE HELP.
