2014 Honda Accord ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD STARTS BY A KEY FOB AND PUSH BUTTON STARTER. RECENTLY, THE CAR WOULD TAKE 5-6 ATTEMPTS TO START.. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. IT JUST WILL NOT CRANK OVER. I HAVE ABOUT 65,000 MILES BUT AS I RESEARCH "STARTER PROBLEMS OF THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD", I GET OVER 70 OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM ONE WEBSITE. SOME OF THE OTHER SAME COMPLAINTS WITH MILEAGE FROM 15,000 TO MORE THAN 70,000. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, 1-800-999-1009, AND MY CASE NUMBER IS: [XXX]. I SPOKE TO [XXX] ON 10/31/19. SHE SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS "ISSUE" BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING I ASKED HOW MANY COMPLAINTS MUST THEY HAVE BEFORE THEY DO AN OFFICIAL RECALL. SHE CANNOT ANSWER. I ASKED IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ME IN LIGHT OF SO MANY COMPLAINTS? SHE SAYS NO, IT IS OVER THE WARRANTY. I COULD NOT OBTAIN ANY INFORMATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE FIX FROM AMERICAN HONDA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE HAPPENS AND IT CAN GO AWAY OR REMAIN FOR MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE STARTER LIGHT IS ON DURING THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. IT MAY NOT HAPPEN FOR WEEKS THEN MULT TIMES A DAY

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AND PRESSING THE PUSH TO START BUTTON, THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. ROCKETTOWN HONDA (1224 N H ST, LOMPOC, CA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I GO TO START THE CAR, PUSHING THE BREAK AND PRESSING THE START BUTTON, I HEAR CLICKING AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE CARE WILL FINALLY START.

STARTER WENT BAD AND WAS INTERMITTENT. THE SOLENOID WOULD NOT WORK AT TIMES. ALSO ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER SLOWLY LIKE IT HAD A BAD BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STARTER ON THE VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MATT CASTRUCCI HONDA (3013 MALL PARK DR, DAYTON, OH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER MOTOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

I'VE HAD THIS FOR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE ARE TIMES MY CAR WON'T START ON THE 1ST KEY TURN. ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE BATTERY IS STILL RUNNING GOOD. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I PUT MY KEY IN TURN IT LIGHTS COME ON IT CLICKS I TURN IT BACK TURN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. USUALLY ON THE THE THIRD TRY IT THE ENGINE COMES ON POWERFUL. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK. I READ ON OTHER FORUMS AND A LOT OF OWNWERS OF THE SAME CAR ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THEY TOOK THEIRS TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO GET THEIR STARTER REPLACED. WE ARE WONDERING HOW A CAR THIS NEW CAN ALREADY HAVE STARTER ISSUES? THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHEN CARS ARE UNDER 100K IN MILES. HONDA NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THEIR POORLY MADE STARTER. THE OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER ALREADY.

LAST YES WHEN THE BATTERY WAS 3 YEARS OLD AND IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME, HAD TO BUY A NEW ONE. I DIDN'T MIGHT SINCE IT WAS $150. A FEW MONTH (AUGUST 2018) AGO MY CAR WOULD NOT START FROM THE FIRST TIME I PUSH THE START BOTTOM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH IT AGAIN FOR IT TO START. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE TO TWICE A WEEK. BUT OVER THE LAST MONTH (NOVEMBER 2018) THIS ISSUE REALLY INCREASED. STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AND THE CAR WOULD START AFTER THE 5TH OR 6TH ATTEMPT. CALLED THE DEALER THEY QUOTED ME OVER $500 TO FIX THE ISSUE AT A DISCOUNTED RATE. BUT MY STARTER SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THIS EARLY WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 TO 4 YEARS OLD. THIS ISSUE MUST BE HAPPENING A LOT BECAUSE THE DEALER DIDN'T EVEN ASK TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER I EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM THEY SAID QUOTED ME FOR THE STARTER. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS ISSUE BUT I CANNOT UPLOAD IT. I WILL PLACE IT ON YOUTUBE (HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/PYSDS6CNDNQ). WILL UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS.

CAR WOULD NOT START BUT WOULD JUST CLICK AND ELECTRICITY WOULD TURN ON. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE AND WORSE. WOULD REQUIRE 2, THEN 3 UP TO 6 TRIES TO START THE ENGINE. REPLACED BATTERY AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE. WENT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD STARTER WAS FAULTY, HAD TO PAY FOR A FULL STARTER REPLACEMENT AT LESS THAN 45,000 MILES.

THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER HAVING A "GRINDING", "STATIC-LIKE", OR "WHINING" SOUND AND IT HAS SEEMINGLY AFFECTED MY CAR AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I AM PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR MY DESTINATION, DO A BASIC PRESS OF THE STARTER BUTTON, AND I WILL HEAR THAT GRINDING AND WHINING SOUND... ON OCCASION, IT WILL TAKE A NUMBER OF TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON THE REGULAR. THERE IS A HONDA TECHNICAL BULLETIN (DATED FEBRUARY 5, 2016) NUMBER 16-002 IN REGARDS TO THE STARTER AND ALSO A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (MERKIN V. HONDA NORTH AMERICAN INC., AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., HONDA MOTOR COMPANY LTD.) I CANNOT PINPOINT AN EXACT DATE ON WHEN THIS STARTED (I GAVE YOU MY BEST ANSWER), BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I FEAR IF IT CONTINUES, IT COULD HURT MY CAR IN THE LONG RUN OR I COULD POSSIBLY BE STRANDED IF I GO ON A LONG JOURNEY SOMEWHERE
