2014 Honda Accord ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated while cold starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start immediately. The contact stated that four or five attempts to start the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure occurred in cold or warm weather. The contact heard an abnormal grinding sound after each attempt to start the vehicle. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

I was on a busy highway, going uphill. The car suddenly decreased speed to 40 mph for about 60 seconds. The car then lost all acceleration with the gas engine still running. Dash warning said "Power system failure". I was able to maneuver the car to the side of the road and call AAA to have it towed to the Honda dealership. Dealership repair center was unable to find a problem.

This generation of Honda has known issue with the push start button to start the car. It sometimes take 3 to 4 or more attempts to start the car successfully. It has a grinding/whirring sound when the engine failed to start. I think it’s a clearance issue between the engine flywheel/torque converter and the starter motor that cause the engine failed to start. I strongly believe Honda should have a recall on this issue to resolve the clearance issue because it’s clearly the engineering design flaw on Honda.

The vehicles ABS control module has been an issue with this vehicle. This needs to be recalled because A bad ABS module can behave erratically, making your brakes lock up even under normal braking, compromising my families safety. It was confirmed today at the Honda Dealership, in which I questioned, “How does this happen to a vehicle with less than 100k miles? If this is a safety concern why isnt there a safety recall?” At that time, the representative became unaware why there wasn’t a recall. The vehicle has been inspected by Honda. Yes, the vehicle light sensors are produced: BRAKE LIGHT ABS LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL POWER STEERING ALL THAT COMPROMISE SAFETY. PLEASE ASSIST.

Several months ago, my Honda that has run very well up until now, started having problems with starting. I took it to Advance Auto and they thought it was the battery so I bought a new battery for over $200. That didn’t help. Then my husband noticed that the dashboard showed to push the brake, gas pedal and starter at the same time. That didn’t really help because sometimes it starts and sometimes doesn’t. We made an appointment at a local dealer where we purchased the car and the maintenance man suggested a new starter but reading through the complaints on here, that doesn’t always help. So he will cancel our appointment. With so many complaints on here about the car not starting, I think it’s your duty to come up with a resolution that works. Several times I have driven the car to places not near our home and the car won’t start. I think this is an unsafe condition and should be repaired!

The car randomly doesnt want to start. Its not the only time its happen.It has happened at least 15 times and i had only had this car for like 4 months

Vehicle fails to start on intermittent bases. Dangerous situations in extreme heat in AZ.

Honda accord 2014 exl 4door 60k miles Engine Starter issue going on. It looks like many 2014 accord users are having this issue. . My car has having intermediate startup cranks almost every day and starts after few attempts . I would like to file a compliant against this alleged defect for honda engine starter defect.

Unknown. Just off of warranty, vehicle has started to exhibit intermittent failure to crank/ start on an increasing number of occasions. Could leave driver stranded. Turning key 180 degrees, using valet key, and waiting for various periods of time has allowed the vehicle to start ( so far). Research shows Honda replaces starters on 2013 and earlier Accords under a recall, but claims problem has been cured in 2014 and later Accords. An online search for 2014 and later Accords show the problem persists and has not been corrected.

I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD 2.4L EX-L WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I STARTED EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH THE START BUTTON, ALL OF MY 'NORMAL' DASH LIGHTS COME ON AS IF I PUT IT IN START MODE AND I HEAR ONE CLICK, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER. WHILE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, IT HAPPENS MORE THAN IT STARTS ON THE FIRST TRY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT CAN TAKE BETWEEN 2-6 TRIES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTS. I REPLACED THE BATTERY 6 MONTHS AGO, BUT THE ISSUE CAME RECENTLY AND IS STILL ONGOING. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER BOTH TESTED BY NUMEROUS PLACES AND BOTH ARE TESTING GOOD.

5 TIMES ONE OR MORE SPARK PLUGS FAILED, CAUSING POWER LOSS TO GASOLINE ENGINE, SLOWING CAR TO A STOP. EACH TIME, THE CAR WAS ON THE FREEWAY (CA-2), UTILIZING CRUISE CONTROL. DEALER REPLACED SPECIAL SPARK PLUGS AS A WARANTY ISSUE. HAPPENED 2X IN 2015, 1X IN 2017, 1X IN 2018, 1X IN 2020. THE CAR WAS CLIMBING A SLIGHT GRADE, WEATHER WAS VARIABLE (COOL TO HOT), ALWAYS ON CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED NEVER EXCEEDING 60 MPH.

THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK, AC WORKS, WINDOWS, EXCEPT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER. THE ENGINE DOES NOT START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS THE FIRST TIME, OTHER TIMES YOU ARE SITTING THERE TRYING TO START FOR 15, 20 MIN. THE FREQUENCY OF NON- START INCREASES AS TIME GOES ON. TEMPERATURE AND TIME DRIVEN DO NOT MATTER. IT'S HAPPENED IN 70 DEGREE WEATHER AND IN 15 DEGREE WEATHER. IT'S HAPPENED AFTER I'VE DRIVEN FOR 5 MIN OR 50 MIN.

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA ACCORD 2014. THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AT 47K MILES AND AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED AT NARDY HONDA IT ONCE AGAIN BROKE DOWN AT 75K MILES . I HAVE AN 7 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND NARDY MGT. EXTENDED IT TO 112K MILES . NOW IN APRIL 2020 THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE ENGINE TROUBLE . I HAVE IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR VEHICLE SINCE NARDY WAS TOTALLY CLOSED DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS. ONCE AT HUNTINGTON HONDA, SERVICE MECHANIC SHOWS ME SOME THING HAPPENED TO THE WIRES ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BY THE FIRE WALL. HE STATED A RODENT MAY HAVE CHEWED SOME WIRES. THE SERVICE MGT. STATED I WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL. THEY PUT SOME KIND OF RODENT PROOF TAPE OVER THE AREA , BUT DIDN'T EXTENDED THE TAPE ANOTHER 2 FEET TO COVER THE ENTIRE BACK AREA. WHEN I ASKED WHY NOT THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TAPE WAS EXPENSIVE. WELL 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM AROSE A COUPLE INCHES WHERE THE MECHANIC FAILED TO EXTEND THE TAPE. SERVICE MGT STATED THAT THEY WERE SORRY BUT YOU WILL NOT BE COVERED FOR THE SAME REPAIR WHICH IN TOTAL WAS OVER 1000 DOLLARS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD OF REPAIRED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME . I ALSO LEARN THAT HONDA HAD MADE THESES LINES ECO FRIENDLY FROM 2010 TO 2016 WHERE IT ATTRACTED RODENTS . I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.*DT*JB

MY CAR WILL HAVE MOMENTS WHEN IT WILL NOT START. IN ORDER TO START MY VEHICLE, I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE KEY INTO IT TURNS ON. MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN CHECK BUT BOTH ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT WILL DO THIS IN VARIOUS SCENARIOS, IF THE CAR IS OFF 5 MINUTES OR 5 HOURS .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE STARTER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE STARTER WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE FAILURE RECURRED A THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THIS PROBLEM WITH 2014 H ACCORD EXISTS SINCE NOV. 2018 (MILEAGE THEN APPROX.. 49,000 MI). THE STARTER CLICKS (BATTERY IS FULL) AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE TYPICALLY STARTED. IN JUNE 2019 I CHECKED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP WHETHER THE BATTERY SWITCH RECALL IS THE OFFENDER. IT WAS NOT. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE ' DESPITE MY DETAILED DESCRIPTION HOW THE NON-START EVENT HAPPENS. IN 2019 THIS ISSUE STARTED SHOWING UP WITH HIGHER FREQUENCY ' JUST YESTERDAY I GOT STRANDED ON THE ROAD IN PARKING LOT. HAD TO LEAVE CAR THERE OVERNIGHT (ATTEMPTED TO START MAYBE 20 TIMES WITH DIFFERENT P-N CONFIGURATIONS ' BATTERY ABOUT 13.6 V) ' NO SUCCESS ' THE CAR AND STARTER WERE DEAD (1 CLICK ONLY). CAME BACK NEXT MORNING WITH TOWING SERVICE. THE CAR STARTED. THIS ISSUE WITH MALFUNCTIONING STARTER IS ON- AND -OFF. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STARTER WITH THIS H. ACCORD LX 2014 MODEL. THE H. DEALER PRETENDED THAT THEY ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE (PLENTY OF COMPLAINS ON THE INTERNET WHICH I SHOWED THEM). I AM WAITING FOR OEM STARTER PART TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 61,000 MILES NOW. IT IS WAY PREMATURE FOR THE STARTER TO DEVELOP THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS ' WHICH FOR ME LAST EXACTLY FOR ONE YEAR (NOV. 2018) AND CREATES A REAL ROAD HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IN WINTER TIME. RECALL FROM HONDA IS NECESSARY. IT IS SYSTEMIC ISSUE HERE.

EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. CAR USUALLY TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START. USUALLY ON AROUND THE THIRD OR FOURTH ATTEMPT IT STARTS, BUT HAS TAKEN UP TO 10-12 ATTEMPTS OR MORE TO START. KEYED IGNITION, NOT PUSH BUTTON. WHEN IT FAILS TO START, ENGINE DOESN'T CRANK AT ALL, THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE 'CLICK' SOUND. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID IT'S MOST LIKELY A BAD STARTER AND QUOTED AROUND $700 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. THE CAR ONLY HAS 35K MILES, WHICH SEEMS VERY LOW MILES TO HAVE STARTER ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING AT ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS, AS THIS IS CLEARLY A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER AND WIFE BOTH DRIVE THIS CAR, AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE CAUSING THEM TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THAT'S DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALSO DOESN'T SEEM FAIR FOR ME TO HAVE TO PAY $700 TO REPAIR AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY DUE TO A FAULTY PART, JUST TO A HAVE A CAR THAT STARTS WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO. ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE STARTER ISSUES FIXED SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY HONDA TOO.

THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND FAILED TO START AT 50K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. DEALER STATED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $900. DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH EXPENSE DESPITE LOW MILEAGE AND CLEARLY PREMATURE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,314.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I WENT TO START IT IT WOULDN'T START I TRIED MAYBE JUMPING IT BUT IT WASN'T WORKING SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. AND TURNS OUT IT WAS THE LITTLE CONNECTOR TO THE BATTERY TERMINAL SO I PURCHASED THE PART AT THE DEALER AND HAD THE MECHANIC INSTALL IT THE FIRST TIME. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE FIRST TIME I DID IT THE PART WAS A RECALL SO PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET MYSELF . AND NOW FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN IS A BUMMER SO I SHOULD OF FILED A COMPLIMENT THE FIRST TIME AROUND BUT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT I FIGURED IT MIGHT OF BEEN SOMETHING I DID BUT NOW I KNOW NOW . AND IT'S THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO I FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT JUST COMES BACK

PARKED IN STORE PARKING LOT, VEH TURNED OFF FOR APROX 30 MIN. VEHICLE NEEDED MULTIPLE TRIES TO START. REPL BATTERY, WAS BETTER FOR A WEEK. NEEDED 8-10 TRIES TO START YESTERDAY. WOULD JUST CLICK WHEN TURNING THE KEY. TAKING IN TO HAVE STARTER REPLACED. VEHICLE ONLY HAD 60K MILES, SHOULD NOT BE NEEDING A STARTER THIS SOON. STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN THE PAST MONTH.

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.

STARTER IS FAILING FROM TIME TO TIME. WHEN USING PUSH-BUTTON START, SOMETIMES THE STARTER MAKES A STRONG GRINDING NOISE AND DOES NOT START THE VEHICLE. IT WILL SOMETIMES DO THIS FOR ONE, TWO, OR THREE ATTEMPTS IN A ROW. EVENTUALLY, THE STARTER WILL WORK. I'M AFRAID THE STARTER WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL COMPLETELY. CAR HAS LESS THAN 75,000 MILES.

STARTER GRINDS OR SPINS AT STARTUP. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT GETS WORSE OVER TIME UNTILL THE CAR WON'T START AT ALL LEAVING YOU STRANDED. HONDA RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN 16-002 THAT COVERS THE PROBLEM AND THE FIX FOR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PUSH START FEATURE WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ESSERMAN LARGE HONDO (554 NEE AVE, FLORIDA CITY, FL 33034, (844) 329-6036) TWICE. DURING BOTH VISITS, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NETS CAMPAIGN NUMBER: (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.
