ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR PURCHASED IN AUG 2014. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO PURCHASE A BRAND NEW HONDA. AROUND THE SECOND YEAR MARK OR 55,000MILES. STARTED HAVING CRANK ISSUES ONE NIGHT. CAR WAS TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY OR SO. IT WASN'T PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. BATTERY CHECKED. SENSOR RECALL COMPETED. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY WITH A THREE WARRANTY. COSTING $180. THE ISSUE STILL CONTINUES TO TODAY (AUG 6, 2019), EVEN AFTER PURCHASING A NEW STARTER. THIS IS GIVEN ME A HEADACHE. HONDA CORPORATE WAS NOTIFIED. NO RESOLUTION. CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. NO RESOLUTION. ON CAR COMPLAINTS AND CAR GURUS, CUSTOMERS HAVE GOTTEN MULTIPLE THINGS FIXED AND CARS CONTINUE WITH THE SAME ISSUE

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD PLUG IN HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING (ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD). NO WARNING LIGHTS OR NOISES TO GIVE ME THE FYI THAT IT'S STALLING, IT JUST SUDDENLY STARTS TO SLOW AND IF I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL IT COMPRESSES TO THE FLOOR WITH EASE...IT ALSO SHOWS ME IN EV MODE WHEN THE CAR HAS NO EV CHARGE REMAINING. IT'S LIKE IT'S IN LIMP MODE. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN FIXES THE ISSUE, BUT WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER (TWICE) THEY HAVE PULLED THE COMPUTER AND HAVE FOUND NO RECORDS ON THE CAR. THEY SAY IT'S "AS IF THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN BEFORE".

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ABOUT A WEEK AGO I CALLED AAA FOR SERVICE FOR MY 2014 ACCORD. IT WOULD NOT START. THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND IT TO BE FINE. HE THEN TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WE DROVE HOME AND HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL DAYS UNTIL LAST SATURDAY WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED TO THE CAR WITH GROCERIES AND UNCOUNTED THE SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS 87 AND WITH THE HIGH HEAT AND PERISHABLES IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. AGAIN, AFTER CALLING MY SON FOR AID, THE CAR FINALLY STARTED AND WE PLANNED A MONDAY VISIT TO YOUR ENTERPRISE. SINCE MY WIFE HAD A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AT NOON, WE PRAYED THAT THE CAR WOULD START FOR THE TRIP TO THE DOCTOR'S AND THEN FOR THE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP.IT STARTED FOR THE FIRST TRIP AND THEN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES FOR THE SECOND TRIP TO. A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT START CAN PLACE PEOPLE IN DANGER AND SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

PROBLEM STARTING ENGINE. SOME TIMES IT WOULD START WITHOUT A PROBLEM. OTHER TIMES IT WOULD SIMPLY CLICK AND NOT START. AFTER TRYING TO START MULTIPLE TIMES, IT USUALLY WOULD FINALLY START. REPLACED THE STARTER. NO DIFFERENCE. TESTED THE ORIGINAL STARTER AND IT TESTED GOOD. PUT THE ORIGINAL STARTER BACK IN THE VEHICLE. WAS TOLD BY THE PARTS STORE THAT THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE PROBLEMS JUST LIKE THIS.

ENGINE
CAR WILL FAIL TO START. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE CAR STALLS AND WON'T RESTART DEPENDING ON LOCATION, EG HIGHWAY, IT COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS INTERMITTENT STARTER PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES IT STARTS FINE, OTHER TIMES THE LIGHTS ALL GO ON BUT NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS. WHEN IT WON'T START TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TRYING AGAIN USUALLY WORKS. I CAN ALSO GET IT TO START BY LEAVING THE KEY TURNED TO THE START POSITION AND PUMPING THE CLUTCH. THIS INDICATES THE IGNITION SWITCH IS OK AND THE CLUTCH START SENSOR SWITCH IS OK. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE REPLACED A BUNCH OF STARTERS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. THEY WANT $800 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. A WEB SEARCH INDICATES THE STARTER IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2014 ACCORDS. WHEN IS THE RECALL? I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED. HOW DO I GET RE-REIMBURSED IF I HAVE THIS FIXED BEFORE THE RECALL?

2014 HONDA ACCORD START ISSUE I PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND AT THE TIME IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 30K MILES. THE STARTER DIED AFTER ABOUT 62K MILES. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $840 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD ISSUES WITH STARTER ONLY AFTER 3K EVEN WHEN THE CARS WERE UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR THE ACCORD FOR YEARS 2013-2015. HONDA NEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STARTER HAS FAILED TO DO A RECALL ON THE CAR. THERE IS NO WAY THAT MY STARTER SHOULD HAVE FAILED SO SOON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE FROM A 3RD PARTY. BEFORE BUYING IT, THE BUYER REPLACED THE STARTER THE SAME DAY I PURCHASE THE CAR BASED ON HIS MECHANIC RECOMMENDATION. HE EXPLAIN TO ME THAT HE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR WHEN ITS IN PARK, SOMETIME IT WORKED THE FIRST TIME, BUT SOMETIME IT HAD TO PUSH THE BOTTOM UP TO 5 TIMES AND PUSH THE BRAKE REALLY HARD. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME, THE CAR WILL NOT START, IT MAKES A GRINDING SOUND, THEN START DOING IT MORE OFTEN SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE RECOMMENDED CALL THE BUYER AND ASK HIS MECHANIC TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AND SEE IF IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE SECOND REPLACEMENT 2 WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, AND IT BEEN DOING IT FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS SINCE I PURCHASE THE CAR. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS NOT THE "STARTER" IT HAS TO BE ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AND BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS LIKE IS THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO SOLUTION. PLEASE RECALL THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE CAR DON'T START AT ALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A FEW WEEKS AGO, OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX, WOULD NOT CONSISTENTLY START. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT AUTO-SHOPS, INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST AUTO SHOP COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY SAID THEY STARTED THE CAR ~100 TIMES AND THE CAR STARTED EVERY TIME. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE STARTER. I REPLACED THE STARTER AND THE CAR STARTED UP FINE. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER FIXING THE CAR, THE CAR DID NOT START. THE BATTERY WAS TESTED AND IS OKAY. OUR CAR WAS TOWED TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE STARTER WAS FINE AND THAT HE SUSPECTS THE ORIGINAL DID NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. HE SAID THERE'S SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BUT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHERE THE ISSUE IS. HE SAID IT MUST BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE IGNITION AND STARTER. OUR LEAVING THE CAR WITH HIM SO THAT HE CAN HAVE OTHER TECHNICIANS INSPECT IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, VEHICLE AUTO BRAKED SUDDENLY CAUSING CAR FROM BEHIND TO NEAR MISS MY REAR OF MY VEHICLE. CAR THE ALARMED ON ABS, STABILITY CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE, FORWARD COLLISION, ADAPTIVE CRUISE, BRAKING, POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY AND HILL START PROBLEM. TOOK CAR TO MIDDLETOWN HONDA OF NY. DEALER IDENTIFIED PROBLEM AS VSA MODULE FAILURE. COST TO REPLACE IS $1550.00 PLUS LABOR. VSA MODULE FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED AS A SAFETY RECALL. CAR THAT NEARLY HIT ME WAS DRIVEN BY OFF DUTY POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS NOT HAPPY. TOOK CAR IMMEDIATELY TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. DEALER DID NOT HAVE PART TO CORRECT PROBLEM. DEALER DEMANDED THAT CAR REMAIN AT DEALER DUE TO BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE YAW SENSOR WENT OUT ON THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, OUT TAKING EVERYTHING WITH IT'ABS, STABILITY CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION, LAIN WATCH, AND THE POWER STARING MONITOR. YOU COULD FEEL THE ABS MOTOR WORKING FOR NO REASON EVEN WITHOUT BRAKING. HONDA REPLACED THE ABS CONTROL MODULE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS AS EXPENSIVE AS IT WAS, I'M WORRIED OTHERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE FIX AND WE WILL HAVE OTHER CARS OUT THERE WITHOUT THE BASIC SAFETY SYSTEMS IN PLACE.
