ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH 30,000 MILES AND HAS A BAD STARTER. FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS , THE STARTER BUTTON HAD TO BE PUSHED SEVERAL TINES TO START ENGINE. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. HONDA HAS MADE A STARTER THAT WILL FAIL PREMATURE BECAUSE THE SOLENOID IS BUILT INSIDE THE STARTER AND CARBON FROM THE BRUSHES DESTROY SOLENOID CONTACTS.

THE MULTI-INFORMATIONAL DISPLAY AND RADIO TURN OFF RANDOMLY ON THEIR OWN AND RE-BOOT WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WHEN IT DOES OCCUR, USUALLY OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN UPON TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE LOCKED, UNLOCKED OR RE-STARTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
"CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM" WARNING ALERTS TURNED ON AND VEHICLE ELECTRICAL STARTED SHORTING SOON AFTER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STARTED TO FAIL. MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME WHEN PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED. PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND CAME BACK. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID I HAD A BAD ALTERNATOR. ORIGINAL RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE (17V-418) STATED "THE BATTERY SENSOR CASE MOUNTED ON TOP OF 12 V BATTERY MAY HAVE GAPS THAT COULD ALLOW FOR MOISTURE TO ENTER THE SENSOR. IF MOISTURE CONTAINING ROAD SALT ENTERS THE BATTERY SENSOR, IT COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY, A FIRE. THE CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR MAY ILLUMINATE IN THE MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY WHEN A PROBLEM IS DETECTED WITH THE BATTERY SENSOR PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT A SHORT MAY OCCUR." I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN WITH SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS BATTERY ISSUE MAY HAVE CAUSED MY ELECTRICAL FAILURE. DEALER SAID MY ALTERNATOR IS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND DIDN'T AGREE THAT THE BATTERY ISSUE MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $862.67 PLUS TOWING. AS I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ACCORD 2014. NOT SURE IF ANY RECOURSE IS POSSIBLE BUT THOUGHT I REPORT MY ISSUE.

SINCE THE EXPIRATION OF THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY, THE FOLLOWING ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED. BOTH DOOR LOCKING ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THIS FAILURE REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER MOTOR HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED, CAUSING NO AIR TO FLOW THROUGH THE VENTS IN SOME OF THE HOTTEST AND COLDEST DAYS OF THE YEAR. MOST NOTICEABLY THE STARTER AND STARTER SOLENOID HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, PREVENTING THE ENGINE FROM STARTING, AND WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT'S BURNING 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2 WEEKS. IT'S AGGRAVATING IT'S BURNING SO MUCH OIL AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REVIEWS ABOUT THIS MATTER WITH THE ACCORD MODEL AND HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS MATTER AND I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY WERE SAID THAT THEY WILL CHARGE ME $129.99 TO LOOK AT THE CAR WHEN I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FEEL SO DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA BECAUSE THEY ARE LEAVING THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS IN THE AIR WHEN THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP... I DRIVE A LITTLE IN THE CITY BUT MAINLY ON HIGHWAY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN IN ORDER FOR HONDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM... HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR CAR HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT AND THE STARTER WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING THE INTERNET THAT ISEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS QUIET OFTEN. IT COST AROUND $500.00 TO FIX IT AND IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AT THAT LOW A MILEAGE. WITH THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING SO OFTEN IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH HONDAS. THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT WE HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEARLERSHIP 2 TIMES TELLING THEM THE INDICATOR LIGHTS SAID STARTER PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT STOPS. THAT WAS VERY UPSETTING BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWHERE. I AM 83 YEARS OLD AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE IF IT HAPPENED AWAY FROM HOME, WE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE ALSO VERY RUDE TO US BECAUSE WE ARE OLD SAYING DO YOU KNOW YOU MUST PRESS THE BRAKE IN TO START IT? THEN SAYING MAYBE YOU SHOULD PRESS HARDER. THAT RESPONSE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO A MIDDLE AGE GENTLEMAN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT (72,000 MILES) HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START CAR, THERE WILL BE NO SOUNDS OR CLICKS, BUT ALL OF THE LIGHTS ENGAGE AS IF THE BETTER IS FULLY CHARGED. THEN AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER AND START AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG AT ALL. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS A STARTER ISSUE, BUT THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A NORMAL STARTER PROBLEM AS IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND MAKES NOT CLICKING SOUND. HAVE HAD ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW.

FOR MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2014, I STARTED HAVING STARTER ISSUES AFTER ABOUT 52K MILES. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE GENERALLY A STARTER IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LONG LASTING PART. HONDA DEALER DID NOT COVER IT STATING ITS PAST CARS WARRANTY. I DID CONTACT HONDA AND THEY ARE ALSO SAYING CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT CASE MAY BE REVIEWED BUT THAT MOSTLY IT'S NOT COVERED. I ALSO CHECKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF OTHER ACCORD OWNERS ALSO HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THIS REGARD.

MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW STARTER. THE CAR IS NOT MORE THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 47,000 IN MILEAGE. POOR HONDA! I'D LIKE A MORE RELIABLE CAR THAT WILL NOT KEEP ME STRANDED.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD. I BEGAN TO FEEL WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS "TREMORS" AS I WAS ACCELERATING THE CAR. I WAS GOING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 25 MPH. THE TREMORS WOULD OCCUR FOR A BIT THEN THE FEEL OF THE DRIVE WAS NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED ON AND OFF OVER THE NEXT 2-3 MILES. I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL, NOT WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT JUST WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. ONCE HONDA EVALUATED THE CAR AFTER CHARGING A $130 "DIAGNOSTIC" FEE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALERSHIP'S DISTRICT(?) SERVICE MANAGER TO "SEE WHAT HONDA WANTS TO DO ABOUT IT". THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WOULD BE $4,386.80 AND THAT HONDA WAS AGREEING TO COVER 60% OF THE COST AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING 40% OF THE COSTS, WHICH AMOUNTED TO $1,826.88 (INCLUDING TAXES). WHEN I ASKED WHAT SPECIFICALLY WAS WRONG WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION, I WAS SIMPLY TOLD "HONDA DOESN'T ALLOW US TO OPEN CVT TRANSMISSIONS." THIS SOUNDS VERY SUSPICIOUS TO ME. I NEED MY CAR, SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE I HAVE ANY CHOICE BUT TO PAY THE COSTS. HOWEVER, I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT I KEEP UP WITH THE ROUTINE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE AS SUGGESTED AT ABOUT 50K MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JULY 2014, SO IT IS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 65K MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE DEEMED DEFECTIVE AND BE COMPLETELY COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. PLEASE ADVISE.
