While driving on freeway at 65 miles an hour power steering went out for a few seconds and cause me to veer out of lane. Luckily no one was in the lane next to me. Several time when pulling into parking space and making a sharp right or left turn the steering will have the same issue. The car has not been taken to a dealer and no warning lights or other symptoms appear prior to the failure. The issue on the freeway was the week of 11/15/2021. The other issue has been happening for several months. This is a very serious safety issue and could result in death of me or my children and grandchildren. i am very hesitant to drive this car on the freeway which is very inconvenient.
On 11/18/2021 afternoon, once I turned on the engine, the steering was so tight and did not move at all. After that, the EPS yellow light indicator was appeared, so I turned off the engine and turned on again. However, the same symptoms appeared again, so I called the tow and dropped off my car at the body shop. After the body shop diagnosed my car, they said it might happen because of the software error and recommend to bring the car to the dealer since the malfunction issue is related with the software. So, I called the tow again and the towing company dropped my car at dealer on Sat. (11/20/2021). I went to dealer service center on Monday (11/22/2021) and the technician diagnosed that this was related to electronic power steering computer system (because the computer is so bad) not related to with the software of the driveshaft recall service (we got driveshaft recall service from this dealer a month ago) Since the steering is the main part of the driving, if it's malfunctioned, it will lead the serious injuries to drivers, passengers, and other drivers. This problem diagnosed by the dealer service center technician. No, it was not inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or other, but I called American Honda and explained about the issue. However, they just said because it's out of warranty, they can't pay the service. The car has been only 6 years and I never ever heard from other nor had have experience that the steering was not move because of the bad EPS computer system. There is no warning symptoms or message. It just appeared without waring on 11/18/2021 afternoon. (the car work properly in the same day of the morning). Because this problem is not made or cause by the driver, it is seriously unfair to pay the repair fee by the customer. Because America Honda used the malfunctioned computer part, they must pay the repair fee regardless warranty period. The report is pending and will be available by end of this Wed.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated while the vehicle was being inspected by an independent mechanic, she was informed that the engine was leaking oil and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that after the inspection while driving 40 MPH, she started to hear an abnormal sound. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to another independent mechanic and was referred to the local authorized dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.
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
Starter not working all the time. Will not start engine. Constantly doing oil changes. Battery replacements too often. Won’t start.
After a minor accident, once turned off, the car would not restart for about 20 minutes. All dash lights flicker and there is a clicking sound. Insurance company will not cover assessment or any repair as they say it cannot be linked to the loss, even though I never had issues with this prior to the accident and it was reported in my accident claim. No issues show on a diagnostic test, but I continue to experience issues with the start button connection. I can hold the brake and press the start button but either have to hold it for 20 - 30 seconds while it clicks or goes dim (while you can hear things trying to happen in the engine), or the brake/start button must be applied multiple times to get it to start. I also think that power is beginning to flicker during driving and now I'm really afraid. I have 105,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel locked up. While reversing and starting the vehicle, the steering wheel failed to operate as needed. There was unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction, VSA Modulator Control Unit Power Source Circuit (IG) Low Voltage, Low Tire Pressure. ABS-121-11, power steering -85-01 Air Conditioning module -B 1241 4 smart entry ECU codes- B12D0-IG1a power output malfunction B12D-IG1b and B12d0-power output malfunction B12D3 IG latch circuit(keep hold circuit) malfunction FCW System
A sensor in the ABS module has failed, and has caused FCW, LDW, ABS, TCS to all not work. Honda wants me to replace the module, but says the parts on back order for forseeable future and that they can’t do anything for me. How can 1 part cause the failure of so many safety systems? How can they not stock this important repair part? Everytime I drive, my safety and the safety of those around me is compromised, and Honda’s solution given to me from the dealer was to call back in 3 months to check if the part can be ordered. (And then pay $2000 to have it installed)
I just happened to be outside today, and noticed and discovered body rust on the rocker panels (both sides) near the rear doors (below doors and in front of rear tires). This would have had to begun a while ago, for me to be just now noticing visible rust and rust-bubbles today. I have also discovered this is a habitual rust issue specific to Honda and the Accord going back several generations, and apparently also habitual front-end frame and/or sub-frame rust issues. For the times I have had it at a Honda dealership service department, and their supposedly "vehicle inspection" to have been included with each service, no person at a Honda dealership service department ever mentioned any rust whatsoever. I purchased my Accord new in 2014, and has approximately 47,000 miles on it today (which of course, factory warranty has expired). It would seem obvious to me that Honda themselves had to always be aware of this type of issue. As I also discovered today via internet searching, that rust has been a Honda Accord issue for over 20 years. Their dealerships ought to be recommending, suggesting, or offering rust protection/rust preventative be applied when buying a new Honda (for a cost to the consumer of course). "Paint Protection" that come with new Hondas, isn't going to take care of nor prevent rust issues. I can't say I've ever been happy nor impressed with my Accord, and all the times I've had it at a dealership service department and mentioned the door wind/door window noise (and finding a "service bulletin" today specific to this on the NHTSA website, but no one at any Honda dealership service department (at least not in the Central Ohio area) has any concern nor interest in investigating anything at all mentioned by a consumer; they only want to change the oil, replace tires, replace filters, and replace wiper blade inserts.
Total loss of steering control which happened suddenly without warning. Traveling at 70 MPH on US 75 20 miles south of Naples Florida. Car suddenly steered hard right. Unable to control steering. Collided with guard rail, then car turned hard left, crossed 3 lanes of interstate and came to stop in grass median. Turned off engine, turned it back on, then car was able to steer normally. It was lucky that there were no cars around me at the time. Accident happened at 12:30 PM 10/11/21. There were 2 people in car. Passenger side airbags deployed. Neck soft tissue injury to one person. Travelers insurance unable to arrange towing in timely fashion, so I pried the right rear fender away from the tire, with a Jack handle. Drove slowly to Honda in Naples, FL. They sent me to Supreme Auto Collision in Naples, where the car is located now. They have asked Honda to inspect it.
CAR HAS 85,000 ON 2014. RECENT ISSUES INCLUDE DEFECTIVE STARTER AND REAR BRAKE CALIPER. ALSO REAR TIRES SPIN IF ROAD IS DAMP EVEN WITH ANTI SERVE ENGAGED AND GOOD TIRES. PREVIOUS ISSUES INCLUDE BATTERY COMPONENT RECALL AND AXEL RECALL. DID I BUY A LEMON?

Starting grinding problem started 2 year ago check the battery changed the started and it continued to grind researched it online and found a Service Bulletin 16-002 that was released by Honda on August 11, 2017 which states rotate torque converter 1 bolt and i did that also changed the started again seemed to work for few months and now it started grinding again. It looks like Honda is aware of this issue and their not willing to recall the vehicles. This is ridiculous. HONDA OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES AND RECALL THE VEHICLES.
Vehicle abs modulator failed this looks like known issue with multiple complaints on the site but no action is being taken this a huge safety hazard for all consumers. I have all lights on in my dashboard and I have realized my abs brakes failing numerous times while driving in slippery conditions. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT!
There are thousands for Honda Accord owners who bought model 2014 onwards have engine oil burning issue and mostly they ask to replace PCV Valve which does not make any difference even though you replace it or not. There are so many YouTube videos on it. I am also facing same issue. I bought used pre owned car , if I knew this issue I would have never bought that car. I have to change engine oil after every 1500 miles. Normally it’s best to replace engine oil after 3000-5000 miles. I will request NHTSA to take some action against Honda. It’s not for just my safety it’s about safety for all Honda Accord owners. Please do something
Starter randomly fails. Grinding noise when you push the start button.
Vehicle fails to start on intermittent bases. Dangerous situations in extreme heat in AZ.
All the lights came on Red about 2months then went off came back on Friday and went back off they’re saying Fuel pump but most mechanic are saying car is to new for it to out just wondering and I have a lot of problems with the battery going down have purchased about 4 since I owned this car wondering about this happen to 2009 Honda my is 2014 Honda Accord
Momentary loss of power steering while maneuvering out of parking space. Jerking, power steering goes in and out. It's happened a handful of times recently. No service lights. It's difficult for me to understand problem and if, at some point, it may occurs at higher speeds. I don't want to take car to dealer because I can't preproduce problem.
While driving, the following alerts were received: EPS Problem (ABS), Hill Start Assist Problem, Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) Problem, Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Problem. I could not activate cruise control or lane departure warning, and the forward collision warning was not working. I couldn't get any further information and the car felt spongey when brakes applied. Warnings were cascading.
The forward collision warning system failed is lit up on the dash as well as ABS and other warning lights. I took the vehicle to a mechanic and he advised he has seen many Hondas with this issue and the VSA module is bad, which is what controls the anti-lock brakes. The specific code was 34_11 ABS Solenoid Valve Malfunction.
The forward collision warning and lane departure warning systems failed and the alerts for ABS and steering come on. Dealer says it needs an ABS modulator, but there are none in the United States.
Car doesn’t start at first attempt with key in ignition. Then press brake harder it starts on second try. Possibly a starter and ignition issue which may be a known issue for this car year.
Engine has been consuming oil at high level. Just got my oil change at dealer and two weeks later my oil is low. There ain’t no oil leaks. This is an ongoing problem with these engine. I would like for Honda to fix there engine problem before some engine blows at the wrong situation causing a death. Also would like for a recall so it don’t happen to me. And also my oil light don’t even come on when the oil is low.
Starter issues appeared in May and car will not crank now.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the ABS, brake, and hazard warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle began to shake and made an abnormal sound. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated she continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer a second time and was informed that a sensor chip needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that the low fuel warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Starter system failed and vehicle is not starting for Honda Accord 2014 with less than 72 k miles.
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.
When I turned the car there were no alarming lights. I reversed out my driveway, but once in the street I realized I could not turn my steering wheel. This is when several of the dashboard lights illuminated. The following lights illuminated: engine, power steering, and ABS. I drove back into my drive way and placed the car in park. After about one minute in park the car turned off on its own. This put my safety at risk because this was at peak morning traffic and if I cannot steer to drive off after I reverse into traffic it can be severely dangerous. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no precursors to this issue. It drove fine the day before.
Driving down road and engine started to shake going from 0 to driving speed. while driving heard/felt a big shake and car was no longer able to drive car forward. when it came to a stop. i tried all gears but non would respond. i was luck enough to be on a 2 lane street instead of a highway.
The steering is tight on the sharper turns such as parking and reversing the car. The steering wheel seems to be jammed and requires force to turn it. I bought the vehicle from the Honda dealer in 2017 and it has only 40,000 miles on it.
Starter problem of the 2014 Honda Accord
While breaking at slow speed tachometer races to 3000 RPM. After pressing the brake harder speed goes back to normal in a few seconds. This has happened on three different occasions.
Car starter is not working and when i checked online , 2014 Honda accord L4 vehicles has issues with starter kit This is what i found from https://www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/2014-honda-accord-starter-recall-a-full-overview This recall impacts 2014 Honda Accord L4 vehicles made between July 29, 2014 and July 31, 2014. The problem occurs in the engine and the engine cooling system. On these vehicles, the connecting rod bolts were not assembled properly. They were torqued improperly. This can cause the engine to suddenly lose power. It also has caused the engine to leak oil. If this type of improper torquing causes damage to the rod bolts, it can cause the car to suddenly stop. That may increase the risk of an accident occurring. The engine leak risk can also cause a fire because of the location near the hot engine or the exhaust system’s parts. To fix this problem, Honda issued an owner notification. It then had dealers bring in the cars and replace the engine short block. These repairs began in March of 2015. I need my vehicle to be recalled to fix this problem
My 2014 Honda Accord starter is messing up. The car starts intermittent. My car only has around 83000 miles on it. My brother has a 2014 ex-l and my aunt has 2014 lx and they has had their starter replaced. My aunt had just bought her car from the Honda dealership and she had to replace the starter. I know Honda had an issue with the 2013 Honda starter and they claim it is fix. But the same issue is happening with the 2014 Honda. This really don't make any sense. I really feel that Honda should look into this issue with the 2014 Honda as well. This is actually my 6th Honda accord (1992, 1994, 2000, 2004, 2009 and 2014). I buy them because of the dependability. But after reading other Honda owners regarding the same issues. I really feel like Honda need to go back and look into making sure the cars are dependable instead of making them look pretty.
The car does not start consistently. I have replaced the battery two times and the starter. I will turn the key and the engine will not crank over, sometimes it will start up 30 seconds or a minute later after I attempt a couple of times. The Honda mechanic forum is stating that this is a very common problem from owners of this ninth gen Honda Accord.
Electric power steering keeps going out randomly. Sometimes for days sometimes I can restart it. Already had it into Honda they said they fixed a broken harness wire; tried charging me $900 for that I got it reduced to $600. Still having power steering issues. It some kind of electrical problem I think. Really dangerous to drive. Also not as random to have the fcw/ldw system go out.
UNKNOWN
In November 2019 I was involved in and accident because the steering failed. The air bag also broke my neck. The person that I hit was also injured. No one ever inspected the car. My Insurance Company told my lender that it is still impounded.
At 104,000 miles the starter on my 2.4 liter Honda engine began intermittently operating. I ordered a $200 starter online that arrived with damaged connectors and had to take my car to a Honda repair facility. They acquired another starter for $300 and installed it for a total bill of $544.85. As a disabled retiree, I purchased the Honda Accord due to its reputation for reliability. I need it to be reliable transportation to take me and my wife to doctors appointments and the like, making it a serious health and safety issue for us. I do synthetic oil and filter changes every 5000 miles and rotate my tires at the same time. My plan was to keep this vehicle until the "wheels fell off" but now I'm questioning my decision and Honda's reputation. The original Honda starter core was sent back to AutoZone where the replacement starter was obtained. There were no lights or indicators of a pending problem with the starter malfunctioning.
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.
Driving on expressway steering in my vehicle stop functioning, my car veered into a guard rail, almost causing myself and my passenger to lose our lives. We a suffering from severe pain and injuries.
After driving 180 miles on the highway at approximately 65-70 mph going downhill, the steering wheel started to shake violently side to side without any warning. We did not hit anything. It only lasted a few seconds. The car did not go out of the lane, but it was very frightening for myself, and my wife in the front passenger seat. The Honda Dealer checked the car and could not duplicate the problem, or find a Digital Trouble Code. We have never had any problem with this car prior to this instance.
I've been to Honda twice to get an alignment in 1 month, but for some reason it seems that the car continues to pull to the right. A few days ago I came across and article mentioning issues with Honda steering wheels, so I'm wondering if my car has the same issue.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle and the steering functionality returned. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to Apple Honda (1375 County Rd 58, Riverhead, NY 11901 (631) 727-0555) where it was diagnosed with needing the power steering rack to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
THE STEERING HAS COMPLETELY FAILED
THE STEERING GOT TIGHT AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL. THE MECHANIC FOUND AN INTERNAL FAILURE ON THE POWER STEERING RACK.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT MANUALLY STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE RESIDENCE WITH MANUAL STEERING ONLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MCCONNELL HONDA (2840 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36116, (334) 271-2500) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, MAKING A RIGHT TURN WHEN HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SPED UP BY ITSELF WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNING RIGHT INADVERTENTLY, THEN CRASHED INTO TWO PARKED VEHICLES. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES HOWEVER, NO MEDICAL TREATMENT WAS RECEIVED. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE THEN TO A BODY SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS TO THE SIDE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER.
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHT EVEN THE TPS LIGHT IT'S OUT OF CONTROL. THE STEERING GETS ROUGHER WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING
STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE CITY STREET. CONDITIONS WERE DRY, AND WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, SO SPEED LIMIT WAS 35. UPON NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER THE CAR I ENDED UP HITTING A CABLE LINE WIRE, AND WAS SPUN INTO THE FRONT YARD OF SOME TOWNHOMES. I ENDED UP ALSO HITTING SOME LARGE ROCKS AND LANDING IN BETWEEN 2 LARGE TREES. UPON COMING TO A STOP, I THEN REALIZE THAT THE IMPACT HAD ALSO CAUSED MY SIDE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. DUE TO THE LOUD CRASH ONE OF THE RESIDENTS CAME OUT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AS I HAD LANDED OUTSIDE OF HER HOMES WINDOW. I THEN CONTACTED THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHO CAME AND DID A REPORT AND CONTACT A LOCAL TOWING AGENCY AS THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE.
I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL LOST POWER AND MY HEADLIGHTS START TO BLINK RAPIDLY . I ALMOST COLLAPSED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE STREET
WHILE ON A 400 MILE ROUND TRIP VISIT TO FAMILY, AFTER STOPPING FOR A REST ROOM BREAK, MY HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT START AFTER ENGAGING THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS, THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION FINALLY ENGAGED. WHILE VISITING OUT OF STATE, I CONTACTED A HONDA DEALER THERE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE STARTER ASSEMBLY FOR MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD AND THAT DEALER WANTED $850 TO REPLACE THE STARTER ASSEMBLY. I DECLINED TO PAY THAT OUTRAGEOUS PRICE, TAKING MY CHANCES TO RETURN HOME, A 200 MILE TRIP. DURING THAT TRIP, THERE WERE MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHERE, AFTER STOPPING FOR EITHER GAS OR A REST ROOM BREAK, IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. AT ONE POINT, AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU, I PULLED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT TO PARK OUT OF THE WAY TO EAT MY FOOD BUT KEPT THE ENGINE RUNNING TO ENSURE I WOULD GET BACK HOME. AFTER RETURNING HOME, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A REPUTABLE LOCAL AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOP AND WHILE WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT STARTER TO BE INSTALLED, THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN CAME OUT TO ME TO SHOW ME THE FAULTY STARTER ASSEMBLY HE HAD REMOVED FROM MY ACCORD. THE ORIGINAL UNIT REMOVED FROM MY ACCORD ACTUALLY CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE IN TWO PIECES. IT HAD SEPARATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOUSING. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN HOW HAD IT STAYED TOGETHER WHILE IT WAS IN THE ENGINE AND HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. (2 PHOTOS ATTACHED) . AT THE TIME OF THIS REPAIR, THERE WERE LESS THAN 45,000 ON THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD (THUS ALSO ON THE STARTER ASSEMBLY). THE REPAIR WAS MADE USING A GENERIC STARTER ASSEMBLY FROM NAPA ON 04/22/2021 AND I WAS CHARGED $583.98 TOTAL FOR PARTS AND LABOR. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PART DIDN'T LAST LONGER THAN 45,000. I HAD A 2000 HONDA CR-V THAT I SOLD WITH 203,000 MILE ON IT AND IT STILL HAD ITS ORIGINAL STARTER. GRANTED, DIFFERENT TYPE TO IGNITION THEN. .
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR THE DRIVESHAFTS PREMATURE FAILURE ON THE 2014 ACCORD MODELS. THIS FAILURE IS RELATED TO PREMATURE CORROSION OF THE DRIVESHAFTS. THEN WE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE RECALL WAS CANCELED BECAUSE " WE DON'T LIVE IN A SNOW AREA AND THAT NO CORROSION SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED. THIS IS NEBRASKA! PLENTY OF SALT AND SNOW! AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE IN JULY, THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE AXLES AND "STRONGLY ADVISED A REPLACEMENT" EVEN BEFORE WE HAD RECEIVED ANY RECALLS FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I REACHED OUT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR DRIVESHAFTS AND PROVIDE ME WITH THE RECALL WEBSITE. SO I SUBMITTED THE REQUIRED INFORMATION TO THE HONDA RECALL WEB SITE.THIS INCLUDED THE SERVICE INFORMATION, APPROPRIATE INVOICES AND THE ORIGINAL RECALL SHEET. 6 WEEKS LATER, HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLED ME AND STATED THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE DRIVE SHAFTS. THEY BASED THEIR DECISION ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT NEBRASKA WAS NOT A SNOW STATE NOR WOULD CORROSION BE A FACTOR.GIVEN THE NUMBER O F HONDA'S ON THE STREETS IN NEBRASKA, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH DEFECTIVE DRIVESHAFTS. I HAVE THE BILL AND THE FIRST HAND LOOK AT THE DEFECTS TO PROVE DIFFERENTLY. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE NEBRASKA AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
THE ENGINE PUSH START BUTTON HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE BATTERY IS NEW, THE STARTER IS GOOD. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS HAVE TO BE MADE TO START THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH HONDA AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO HELP.
CAR START SOMETIME . EVERYTHING LIGHT UP .I HAVE TO WAIT AND KEEP TRYING AND THEN IT STARTS. CAR IS STATIONARY
VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ON A COLD START AFTER IT'S BEEN SITTING, VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND HAS ROUGH IDLE.
THE VEHICLE IS A PUSH START. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PRESS THE BUTTON AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. IT GIVES A CLICKING NOISE AND THE AIR CONDITIONING AND DISPLAYS COME ON. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TRY 5 TIMES AND EVENTUALLY, IT STARTS. OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO TRY MORE THAN 30 TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE BUTTON. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START, I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TRY AGAIN. NOW THE CAR WILL NOT START NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I PRESS THE BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND PARKED.
WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE AT LEAST 95 DEGREES OR HOTTER, THE FRONT CAMERA OVERHEATS AND THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM AND LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM DON'T FUNCTION UNTIL THE CAMERA COOLS DOWN WHICH CAN TAKE UPWARDS OF 15 MINUTES.
WHENEVER I START THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STARTING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STARTER AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I HAVE CHANGED THE STARTER 4 TIMES IN SPAN OF 3 YEARS PERIOD I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANIC AND EACH OF THEM TELL ME IT'S THE STARTER AND THE FLYWHEEL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO FIX IT AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE FLYWHEEL ISSUE. THE TECH TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM KNOWN TO 2013-2015 HONDA ACCORD. I ASKED THE DEALERS TO AGREE TO FIXING THE STARTER AND ANY OTHER ISSUES RELATING TO THE STARTER BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT THE REFUSED. I HAVE 2 OF MY COLLEAGUES WITH THE SAME 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THE ISSUE STARTED 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2018 AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP.
NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD IGNITION SWITCH. HONDA REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON IT. HONDA DID A RECALL OF OTHER HONDAS EXCEPT MINES AND A FEW OTHERS WHICH SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW. IF YOU SEARCH ON LINE. THE IGNITION SWITCH IS THE MAIN PROBLEM FOR 2014 HONDA ACCORDS AND MAYBE THE REASON FOR NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS, LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T START IN UNSAFE AREAS OR AT NIGHT WHEN GETTING OFF OF WORK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, INTERMITTENTLY THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START-UP. DUE TO THE GRINDING SOUND, THE FLY-WHEEL WAS REPLACED AFTER THE STARTER HAD BEEN REPLACED THE THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MYAUTOMARIC TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED ON ME. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR, AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND GET A TOW. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR EXTREMELY WELL SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW, AND AT 90K MILES I'M APPALLED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL. IM BEING TOLD IT WILL COST $6000 TO REPLACE. THIS WILL BE THE LAST HONDA I BUY.
THE AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE IVE REPLACED IT SERVERAL TIMES AS FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND FCW SYSTEM FAILED
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND SEVERAL OTHER UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GREGG ORR HONDA (4701 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRINGS, AR 71913, (501) 525-4565) WHO STATED THAT THE ABS MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
THE CAR HAS BEEN BURNING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKAGE AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OIL DROPS WHERE I PARK IT. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND ADD MORE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP AS PRE OWNED CERTIFIED. I SPOKE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP ONCE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID IF THE CAR BURNS 1 QUART OF OIL IN 1000 MILES THEN WE CONSIDER IT EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING. AT THE TIME MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY JUST GAVE ME THIS UNREALISTIC OIL BURNING RATE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. NOW MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM OF COURSE PERSISTS.
CONSTANT ERROR WARNING 'FCW SYSTEM FAILED' POPS UP WHILE DRIVING, MANY DASH ERROR LIGHTS TURN ON, AND ALL ABS AND VSA SYSTEMS ARE DEACTIVATED. SYSTEM USUALLY RESETS WHEN CAR RESTARTED BUT THE ERROR HAPPENS AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS VSA MODULATOR UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHILE THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART AND DISAPPOINTING THAT A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM WOULD FAIL THIS EARLY IN THE CAR'S LIFE (MY CAR ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES), AMAZINGLY THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT UNITS AVAILABLE IN THE USA, AND THIS PART HAS BEEN BACK ORDERED BY HONDA FOR AT LEAST A MONTH, WITH NO RESOLUTION DATE. SO I CANNOT HAVE THE SYSTEM FIXED BECAUSE HONDA DOESN'T HAVE ANY VSA MODULATORS ANYWHERE IN THE USA. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY ESPECIALLY IN THE V6 ACCORDS LIKE MINE. IS HONDA OUT OF THE PART BECAUSE SO MANY VSA MODULATORS ARE STARTING TO FAIL? IT SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT MY CAR HAS NO ABS OR VSA SYSTEM WORKING WHILE DRIVING, AND HONDA IS ALSO UNABLE TO OFFER A FIX SINCE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.

GOT MY STARTER REPLACED SINCE IT WAS TURNING OFF ON ME BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. READING A LOT OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS. MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF ON ME ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND I ALMOST GOT HIT THE GOOD THING IS I WAS ON THE FAR LEFT LANE AND TURNED THE WHEEL ON TIME, BUT MY CAR WAS STILL STICKING OUT A BIT I ALMOST GOT HIT MULTIPLE TIMES. TURNED OFF ON ME TWICE ON THE STREET LUCKILY I WAS IN TRAFFIC, STILL A SCARY AND RISKY SITUATION. ALSO TRIED REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR DID NOT WORK.
MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V-769. THE HONDA DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT UNLESS I PAY ANOTHER $1,500 FOR PARTS. MY DEALER SAID THIS WAS A "MONEY GRAB" BY HONDA AND ALL RELATED PARTS AND LABOR AT 4.5 HOURS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL BECAUSE MY DRIVESHAFT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
I HAVE 4 WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BRAKE,TRACTION,STEERING AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS TO DUE WITH A FAULTY ABS CONTROL MODULE. THE PART HAS BEEN SOLD OUT FOR SOME TIME. WHEN I TALKED TO THE GENTLEMAN AT THE SHOP HE TOLD ME THAT A LOT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS. THE LIGHT ARE ALWAYS ON THE CAR DRIVES FINE BUT I'M WORRIED BECAUSE IT CONTROLS ALL OF THE SAFETY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR.
HONDA LANEWATCH WHICH IS A CAMERA-BASED ASSIST THAT PROJECTS A LIVE FEED OF THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT-SIDE BLIND SPOT ON THE CAR'S INFOTAINMENT SCREEN, STOPPED WORKING. CAR DISTANCE MARKINGS STILL APPEAR BUT THE CAMERA FEED HAS GONE BLACK/THERE IS NO LIVE FEED. SIMILAR ISSUE IS WITH REVERSE CAMERA. THERE IS NO LIVE IMAGE UPON ENTERING IN REVERSE GEAR, THE CAMERA FEED HAS GONE BLACK.
APPROX. 165000 I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CVT TRANSMISSION BLEW WITH ME ONLY OWNING FOR APPROX. 2.5 YEARS. I'M NOW ON MY 3RD CVT TRANSMISSION AND HONDA BLAMED ME FOR THE MALFUNCTION. I WAS DRIVING TO PICK UP MY 3 YEAR OLD FROM DAYCARE WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND ITEMS FALLING FROM MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO COAST AND PARK IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT.
THE CAR HAS INTERMITTENTLY HAD A NO CRANK START PROBLEM FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO A FAILING BATTERY BUT THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. IT WILL EVENTUALLY START AS OF NOW. ACCORDING TO GOOGLE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ACCORD THAT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO IT NOT STARTING AT ALL AND A COSTLY REPAIR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE MEASURING SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, LANE DEPARTURE, AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILING STARTER IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE HONDA ACCORD COMMUNITY. THE STARTER BEGINS TO FAIL PREMATURELY AND EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL TO START THE CAR LEAVING THE DRIVER AND OR THEIR PASSENGERS STRANDED. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME/ANYWHERE THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE STARTED. THERE IS A CURRENT TSB TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND TURN THE FLEX PLATE ONE BOLT HOLE OVER. MANY TIMES THIS HAPPENS AFTER ANY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED LEAVING THE OWNER TO PAY OUT OF POCKET A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY.
BACKUP CAMERA SHOWS BLACK SCREEN WHILE REVERSING. INTERMITTENT FAILURE AT FIRST, THE COMPLETELY DIED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IT REVERSE THE CAMERA SCREEN WITH GUIDE LINES DISPLAYED, BUT NO IMAGE WAS VISIBLE.

I AM INQUIRING ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OR PARK, SPORT I CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT ON THE SYSTEM. IT CONSTANTLY BLINKS LIKE IT'S STUCK. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP NUMEROUS TIMES TO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS. I AM IN THE MILITARY AND ACTIVE DUTY SO I USE MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE FOR WORK. IT ALSO HAS CONNECTION ISSUES WITH MY BLUETOOTH WHEN I TRY TO CONNECT MY PHONE OR NEED TO TAKE A PHONE CALL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW YEARS AND I STILL HAVE MY DOCUMENTATION AND RECEIPTS FOR ALL THE HONDAS AND SERVICE DEALERS THAT HAVE PREFORMED SERVICES ON MY CAR AND IT NEVER GETS FIXED OR RESOLVED AND DATES BACK ALL THE WAY FROM 2016-2020. THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON IN THE MORNING AND THE TEMPERATURE AND SCREENS ARE ALL SCRAMBLED AS WELL. I ADDED ALL MY RECEIPTS AND I HAVE SPENT OVER $6,007.23 TO BE EXACT ON MY CAR REPAIRS AND STILL NO RESOLUTION FOR THE ELECTRICAL ERRORS THAT KEEP HAPPENING. I DO HOPE SOMEONE CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND MY SAFETY CONCERNS ON MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I CAN BE CONTACTED BELOW.

THE DASH BOARD ISN'T SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF DEFAULT AND THE CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING
FEBRUARY 13, 2021 AROUND 11:45 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SON AND HIS FRIEND & MY DOG WITH ME, I ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT IN INTERSECTION WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL I HEAR A NOISE UNDER MY CAR (BOOM) THEN THE CAR WON'T GO FOWARD EVEN THOUGH I HIT GAS. THEN I PUT IN REVERSE IT'S THE SAME THING IT WON'T STOP THE CAR ARE STILL MOVING BACKWARD SO I HIT THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. SO I PUT THE GEAR IN "P" PARK POSITION BUT THE CAR ARE STILL MOVING DOWN THE HILL. SLOWLY BY SLOWLY BACKWARDS AND THEN I HIT THE SNOW ON THE SIDE ROAD THAT'S WHY THE CAR STOP. I'M SO NERVOUS ON THAT MOMENT EVEN MY SON AND HIS FRIEND ARE SCARED.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY (02/13/2021) AT HONDA OF MILFORD IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT IN USA FOR SAFETY RECALL. I WAS DENIED FOR A SERVICE ON SAFETY RECALL AFTER I HAVE ASKED THE RECEPTIONIST AT THE SERVICE DESK WHEN I HE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME WHILE I WAS WAITING IN LINE MORE THAN FEW MINUTES. THE RECEPTIONIST WAS USING OBSCENE LANGUAGE WHEN I WAS WAITING IN LINE IN AN UNPROFESSIONAL MANNER. ANOTHER EMPLOYEE OF THIS DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO INVOLVED AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY BECAUSE I ASKED HIM WHO HE WAS. I BELIEVE I WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY AND DENIED A SERVICE FOR SAFETY RECALL AFTER SIMPLY ASKING FOR AN ASSISTANCE WHILE WAITING IN LINE. PLEASE, REGARD MY COMPLAINT INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU, RESPECTFULLY YOURS
STARTER MALFUNCTIONED WHILE PARKED ON THE STREET. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ONLINE AND NO RECALL. COST TO REPLACE AT DEALER IS OVER $700. CAR DIED ON THE STREET.
I BOUGHT A 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT BRAND NEW THE CAR STARTED BURNING OIL AT 55.000 MILES THIS IS A WELL MAINTAIN CAR ONLY CHANGE OIL AT THE DEALER AND HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY,BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER,THIS IS MY THIRD TIME THE OIL IS LOW CLOSE TO 1000 MILES AND EVERY TIME I GO TO THEM THEY CHARGE ME FOR AN OIL CHANGE,SO IM WAITING TO SEE WHEN WHEN I GO BACK THIS TIME WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME,THE PROBLEM IS /OIL CONSUMPTION,
2014 HONDA ACCORD HAD VSA, ABS, TIRE PRESSURE AND EPS (STEERING) LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT RANDOM AND TURN OFF AT RANDOM. THERE IS ALSO A LOSS OF STEERING ACCURACY AT LOW SPEEDS (LOWER THAN 5MPH) ON FULL LOCK. ABS WOULD ENGAGE UNDER BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS - AT TIMES WHEN THE ABS WAS NOT NECESSARY TO HELP THE STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AND ENGAGE AND RANDOM TIMES (10-25MPH ROUGHLY). HONDA DEALERSHIP WANTS $1920 TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND STATED THAT THEY SUGGEST NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY THE DRIVER, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT BOTH HONDA AND THE NHTSA CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND CAN CORRECT IT AND RECALL IT. IF THE US GOVERNMENT MANDATES (SINCE SEPT 1, 2013) CARS MUST HAVE ABS AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (HONDA'S CALLS IT VSA) THAN HOW IS THIS OKAY TO LET HONDAS ON THE ROAD WITH THESE FAILURES. AT THE HIGH PRICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE I DOUBT MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE WILLING TO AFFORD IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V769000 (POWER TRAIN) IN WHICH BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DRIVE SHAFTS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT 10 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 8 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, A LOUD POPPING AND BANGING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END HAD OCCURRED. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY WITH THE SHIFTER IN PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT DRIVESHAFT HAD FRACTURED AND THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO POOR CASTING OF THE PART. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.
THE VEHICLE IS TAKING LONGER TO GO INTO ENGINE MODE. IT'S LAGGING
THE CAR WILL NOT START, BUT ONLY SOMETIMES. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON, THE POWER COMES ON AND IT CLICKS BUT DOESN'T START. SEVERAL LIGHTS COME ON INCLUDING STARTER SYSTEM. IT USUALLY WILL START AFTER A FEW TRIES BUT LAST NIGHT WOULD NOT AT ALL AND I WAS STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THE HONDA FORUMS AND THIS WAS RECALLED AND FIXED FOR THE 2013'S BUT NOT THE 2014"S.
ON MY 2014 ACCORD SPORT (2.4 L, I4 ENGINE), THERE APPEARS TO BE 'EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION' SINCE ABOUT 50K MILES. I HAVE TO ADD ABOUT 3/4 QUART TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000-2500 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND PERFORM ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON TIME AT THE HONDA DEALER. I TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER MISSED A SERVICE. IT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE HITTING 50K MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 77K MILES AND I JUST HAD TO ADD 3/4 QUART OF OIL AGAIN AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES. I'VE EVEN REPLACED THE PCV VALVE WITH NO LUCK. MY QUESTION IS, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE RECALL RELATED TO 2008-2012 ACCORDS? I THINK MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. BY THE WAY, I'VE SEEN HONDA'S STANCE THAT UP TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE, I ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE.. IT'S ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL. I WORRY HOW THIS CAR WILL DO AS IT GETS OLDER. AT THIS RATE, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN IT GOES BAD DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION?
DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD, LIGHTS CAME ON REGARDING STEERING AND BRAKING I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 1/2-1 MILE. SNOWING CONDITIONS - LOST STEERING AND BRAKES AND THE CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD, HITTING A SIGN FOR AN UPCOMING CURVE
I WAS DRIVING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT WAS HARD TO TURN I WAS HEADING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME
HONDA KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN- AFFECTING 2013-2016 ACCORDS AND 2013-15 CROSS TOURS, THE STARTER GRINDS AND SPINS AT START UP, CAR DOES NOT START. HONDA'S POSSIBLE CAUSES: THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE STARTER MOTOR GEAR AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER RING GEAR IS NOT OPTIMAL. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL? OTHER THAN MY CAR NOT STARTING AND THE COST NEAR $1,000 TO REPAIR, CAN THIS CAUSE A FIRE?
PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THE CAR JERKED AND SHUT OFF THENSTARTED ON OWN. REPEATED TWICE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE WHILE MAKING A BROKEN U TURN IN A CULDESAC, THE OTHER WAS IN MY PARKING SPOT.
CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY STATIONARY IN PARK AND JUST ROLLED OFF OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY BY ITSELF.I HAVE A VIDEO BUT I UNABLE TO LOAD ON HERE. PROOF VIDEO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE NEEDED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHEN THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS WERE BLINKING RANDOMLY THEN DISAPPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A FAULTY SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED AND NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND AND WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND PROVIDED AN OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.
I AM RECEIVING A FWS FAILURE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THAT SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1800. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT HONDA SHOULD PAY THE COST TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A RECALL HONDA DTC U0416/68 FOR ANOTHER MODEL.
ON OCTOBER 31, THE AXLE ON MY CARE SNAPPED IN HALF. I WAS IN A SHOPPING CENTER AREA, TRYING TO MAKE A TURN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I LEARNED THAT THE AXLE WAS BROKEN WHEN I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED IN THE AMOUNT OF $312.49. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A FREAK INCIDENT AND THAT IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE AXLE BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN IN THAT MANNER. I WANT HONDA TO REIMBURSE FOR THE COST TO REPAIR. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE OF A SERIOUS SITUATION IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD DOES NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. STARTED WHEN MY CAR HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT. I THOUGHT IT TO BE A BATTERY PROBLEM. HAD MY BATTERY TESTED AT ADVANCE AUTO PARTS AND MY BATTERY WAS GOOD. I STILL REPLACE IT. NEXT DAY, SAME PROBLEM. NO START UNTIL THE 8TH ATTEMPT. THE LOUD GRINDING THAT COME WITH THE FAIL ATTEMPT IS FRUSTRATING AND EMBARRASSING. TODAY AFTER 11 FAILED ATTEMPTS TO START MY CAR IT FINALLY STARTED ON THE 12TH TIME. I'M SO OVER HONDA AND THE CRAZY PART IS I OWN A 2007 HONDA ACCORD, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD AND THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE TWO OLDER YEARS GIVES ME 0 PROBLEMS WHILE THE NEWER ONE WITH LESS MILES GIVE ME SOOO MUCH TROUBLE. HONDA STAND UP AND BE THE REPUTABLE DEALER THAT CAUSED ME TO BUY HONDA IN THE FIRST PLACE. OH AND NEXT THE BRKES ARE NOTHING LIKE THE OLDER MODELS. U FEEL A SKIP AND YOU SLIDE. THESE BRAKES ARE BY FAR THE WORST
THE CAR WONT START INTERMITTENTLY. YOU HEAR A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START. AFTER WAITING FOR FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN IT WILL START AND THE PROBLEM COMES BACK AGAIN.
I'VE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT BURNS OIL CONSTANTLY. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW UNTIL TWO YEAR 2020 UNTIL DO MY OWN OIL CHANGE AND REALIZE I BURN A QUART OF OIL WITHIN A MONTH. SO THE DEALER HAS CHANGE MY MOTOR OIL ALL THIS YEAR WITHOUT TELLING ME UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS OVER AND I SURE THEY KNOW AND HEAR COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUES ALREADY THEY SHOULD DO A RECALLED ON THIS CAR DO TO SAFETY REASON. THANKS,
PUSH START DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT IS NOT THE STARTER
THE START SYSTEM ON THE CAR FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. EVERY NOW AND THEN, WHEN YOU PUSH THE START BUTTON, IT CLICKS AND DOES NOTHING.
DAY 1: CAR HAD 2 INSTANCES OF NO START ACCOMPANIED BY STRANGE WHIRRING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRST TIME TOOK 5 TRIES TO SUCCESSFUL START, THE SECOND TIME TOOK 2 TRIES TO SUCCESSFUL START.ALL DASH LIGHTS/RADIO HAD POWER. DAY 2: CAR STARTED UP FIRST TRY NO PROBLEMS, BUT LATER IN THE DAY WHEN TRYING TO USE VEHICLE AGAIN, I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE AS DAY 1, BUT THIS TIME WITHOUT SUCCESSFUL START UPON EXHAUSTED NUMBER OF TRIES. BATTERY VOLTAGE TESTED AND MONITORED WHILE TRYING TO START INDICATED IT WASN'T A BATTERY ISSUE. VEHICLE TOWED TO PURCHASING DEALERSHIP.... TOLD I NEED A NEW STARTER...500$+ BILL. EXPECT IT TO BE OUT OF SHOP TOMORROW. BMS RECALLED AND REPLACED IN 2017 BY PREVIOUS OWNER, MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN STARTER RECALL. BOUGHT WITH 76,000 MILES ON JULY 11TH 2020, STARTER WENT OUT EXACTLY 4 MONTHS LATER NOVEMBER 11TH 2020 WITH 81,000 MILES. 2014 ACCORD LX HUGE BUMMER.. I'M A DIE HARD HONDA FAN AND RECOMMENDER BUT THIS HAS CAUSED LOTS OF INCONVENIENCES. I HOPE HONDA MAKES THIS RIGHT.
ABS MODULE GOING BAD ON A 2014 HONDA ACCORD V6 EXL, A LOT OF LIGHTS ON MY DASH ARE ON, IT TURNS OFF FROM TIME TO TIME AND TURNS BACK ON AGAIN FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT WILL TURN OFF AGAIN AND THEN TURN BACK ON. TRACTION LIGHT IS ON BRAKE LIGHT IS ON FCW LIGHT IS ON ABS LIGHT IS ON LDW LIGHT IS ON
THE VEHICLE TENDS TO NOT START. TURNING THE IGNITION ONLY CAUSES A CLICKING SOUND, HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER (START). I PURCHASED A NEW STARTER BUT THE VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT START, I READ ONLINE THAT CHANCES ARE IT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I FOUND MANY PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING AND CONSUMED ONE QUART OF ENGINE OIL PER 1,000 MILES. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V121000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. METRO HONDA (4918 W HIGHWAY 74, MONROE, NC 28110, (704) 220-1500) WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND INFORMATION WHICH STATED THAT THE ENGINE'S SHORT BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.
POWER TO VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN STEERING THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED.
VEHICLE FAILS TO START OR ENGAGE STARTER WITH PRESSING OF START BUTTON. ONLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START WILL THE SYSTEM ENGAGE. THIS EVENT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY TEN VEHICLE TRIPS. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK OUT FINE.
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ABS, VBS AND STEERING LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT SAME TIME. BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER SHIP AS A SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 103,000 MILES. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND RESET SENSORS, SAID IT COULD BE A BAD MODULE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD COST $1800 TO REPLACE. DROVE CAR FOR 2 DAYS ALL LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. QUESTIONED DEALER ABOUT MODULE AND HOW COMMON REPLACEMENT WAS. THEY SAID NEVER REPLACE THEM. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON AND CAUSES MANY ISSUES, DEALER/ MANUFACTURER KNOWS OF ISSUE AND REFUSES TO CORRECT ISSUE IN CARS WITH MUCH LESS MILES. COMPLAINED TO DEALER WITH NO RESPONSE.
IN MOTION, LOST STEERING - POWER STEERING BECAME DISABLED. FCW FAILURE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND I PULLED OVER. STOPPED THE CAR. RESTARTED AND THE LIGHTS CLEARED. RAN OKAY GOING HOME. STARTED NEXT DAY AND FCW LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING 3 DAYS THE CAR RAN FINE, NO ALARM LIGHTS. ISSUE SEEMS INTERMITTENT AND SEEMS DANGEROUS IF YOU CAN LOSE STEERING UNDERWAY. SEARCHED INTERNET, SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF FCW FAILURES AND THIS ELECTRONIC MODULE APPARENTLY CONTROLS BRAKING, STEERING, IDLE, TRANSMISSION, ETC.
ENGINE START WAS INTERMITTENT. CAR HAD ONLY 55,000 MILES. HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED A NEW STARTER. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.
ENGINE STARTED LEAKING OIL. MAJOR ENGINE GASKETS AND SEALS REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED. CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY
WHEN I TURN ON THE ENGINE, THE CAR DASHBOARD LIGHT KEEPS SHOWING FAILED IN MOST OF THE SYSTEMS. IT IS JUST LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE!
THE EPS,BRAKE, AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC WHO AFTER DOING DIAGNOSTICS TOLD US WE NEED TO TAKE OUR CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND NOT DRIVE ANY MORE THAN WE HAD TO FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS THE VSA MODULATOR AND COST $1788.78 TO REPAIR. REALLY DISGUSTED WITH HONDA AS I READ ONLINE WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM YET THERE IS STILL NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM!
THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER 250 ENTRIES. ENGINE WON'T START AT THE PRESS OF THE PUSH BUTTON. I HAVE 75,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS GARAGED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TIME OF DAY, TEMPERATURE OR IF IT'S THE FIRST OR LAST DRIVE OF THE DAY. FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY PUSH THE BUTTON, TRY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, TRY GETTING OUT AND BACK IN. IT IS ENTIRELY RANDOM, SOMETIMES TAKING TEN MINUTES OR MORE TO FINALLY START. ALL INDICATIONS ARE NORMAL ON THE DASH, IT JUST WILL NOT ENGAGE THE STARTER. NO CLICK, NOTHING.
BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE WE GOT THE CAR. YEAR 3 WE NEEDED NEW STARTER, NEW BACK UP CAMERA. THIS YEAR DRIVER'S WINDOW WOULD WORK ONLY WORK SOME OF THE TIME. IN JUNE WHEN I STARTED ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON WITH ABS SYSTEM POWER FAILURE WARNING. IT WOULD GO ON AND OFF AS I DROVE. THEN THE CAR STARTED JERKING AS IT WAS DRIVEN AND FINALLY STAYED ON AND WAS ON EVERYTIME WE STARTED. NEEDS A NEW MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT WHICH IS $1,400 AND HAS BEEN BACKORDERED SINCE MID JUNE. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE CAR, AND I CAN'T RENEW REGISTRATION BECAUSE IT WON'T PASS VA SAFETY INSPECTION.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY 08-18-2020 3 LIGHTS APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE DASHBOARD, THE TPMS, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING & VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS. MY CHILD & I FELT THE VEHICLE SWERVE & I MANAGE NOT TO HIT A CEMENT WALL OR ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT INSTANTANEOUSLY NOTICED MY VEHICLE FELT DIFFERENT. AFTER JUST HAVING A 21-PT INSPECTION AT JOHN EAGLE HOUSTON & PAYING ALMOST 1,000 FOR FRONT & REAR BRAKE PADS & OTHER MECHANICAL ISSUES, SURELY I WOULD'VE THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP COULD'VE TOLD ME THIS OR WARNED ME IT WAS GOING TO FAIL. ANYWAYS, AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD ERADICATE THE ISSUE, BUT IT DIDN'T. I TOOK IT BACK TO JOHN EAGLE HOUSTON, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE YAW RITE WENT OUT. I READ UP ON THIS BEFORE HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP & DURING THE 2 HOUR WAIT & ACCORDING TO CARCOMPLAINT.COM & NHTSA THEY'RE MANY 2014 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE & HAVE PAID OVER $1,500+ TO FIX THIS & THE WORST PART IS THE PART IS ON BACKORDER & WON'T BE IN FOR 2 MONTHS! SO, YOU HAVE FAULTY CARS ON THE ROADS THAT CAN POSSIBLY INJURE PEOPLE. HONDA WILL HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS! THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RECALL, BUT I KNOW NOT GUESS REVENUE IS MORE IMPERATIVE THAN HUMAN LIFE! WHAT WILL IT TAKE? PREVENTIVE DEATH? THIS CAN BE PREVENTED, THERE'S STILL TIME. EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY & THOSE WHO DON'T WILL JUST RIDE WITH THEIR DASHBOARD'S LIGHTS LIT LIKE THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. THIS IS HORRIBLE.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX-L V6 HAS 58.000 MILES. I RECENTLY HAD MY STARTER REPLACED AND TORQUE CONVERTER ADJUSTED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A ISSUE HONDA IS AWARE OF AND HAS CREATED A BULLETIN (16-002). THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE, AND WHY WOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL ISSUED. IT'S CLEAR THIS IS A MANUFACTURING AND EQUIPMENT ISSUE IN ACCORD V6 2013-2016 AND CROSSTOUR V6 2013-15. WHY IS THE REPAIR AT THE CONSUMERS COST INSTEAD OF HONDA?
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.
PURCHASED 2014 HONDA ACCORD IN 2017. ABOUT 18 MONTHS LATER, THE CLEAR COAT STARTED TO ERODE AWAY. I REGULARLY WAX AND WASH MY CAR. CURRENTLY, THE PAINT LOOKS CLOUDY, CHALKY AND IS ROUGH TO THE TOUCH. NOT AT ALL WHAT A 6 YEAR OLD CAR THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF SHOULD LOOK LIKE. I'M HIGHLY DISSATISFIED. I'VE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA DIRECTLY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO LEAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SITUATION AND ZERO RECOURSE.
SAME ISSUE AS CASE #11339806 EXCEPT MY 2014 ACCORD'S PUSH-BUTTON STARTER FAILED AT LESS THAN 72,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR, TSB MC-10100621-6340. COST OF REPAIR OVER $900. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
THE CAR RANDOMLY STOPPED STARTING. 95% OF THE TIMES IT WORKS FINE HOWEVER SOMETIME IT WON'T START WHICH IS SECURITY RISK TO GET STRANDED IN CASE I AM NOT CLOSER TO TOWING LOCATION. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. I SAW PEOPLE HAVING TO REPLACE THE STARTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND HONDA STILL HAS NOT RECALLED FOR THAT ISSUE.
ABS MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ARE ON AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING.
WAS HIT IN REAR ON 7/18.2020.WHEN MY HEAD HIT HEAD REST THE HEAD REST WENT UP TO HIGHEST POSITION. MY HEAD HIT AGAIN AND HIT METAL BARS.THE HEADREST IS NOW STUCK IN HIGHEST POSITION.I WAS STATIONARY STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT ON CITY STREET
WE HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STARTING. WE FOUND AN ONLINE THREAD ON THE SUBJECT WITH WORKAROUND TRICKS. SOMETIMES PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTING IT FROM THERE WORKS, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. WHAT WORKS MOST OFTEN IS TURN KEY ONE NOTCH, WAIT 3 SECONDS, TURN AGAIN AND WAIT UNTIL LIGHTS GO AWAY, THEN AGAIN AND THEN IT STARTS. WHAT IS THIS ISSUE? IS THERE A RECALL THAT CAN FIX THIS ISSUE?
STARTER MAKES GRINDING NOISE AND VEHICLE WON'T START. APPROX 78,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. STARTED HAVING ISSUES AT @54,000 MILES. PUSH BUTTON WOULD CLICK, PANEL LIGHTS FLASHED, BUT CAR WOULDN'T START. REPLACED BATTERY AND THAT SOLVED CLICKING ISSUE. HONDA STATES STARTER NEEDS REPLACED BUT WON'T COVER AS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A 2014 ACCORD V6 WITH ONLY 78450 MILES. ATTEMPTING TO START WHEN AT WORK OR HOME. THERE IS A KNOWN TSB AT HONDA, MC-10100621-9340
I HAVE BEEN NOTICING SOME KIND OF NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES,LIGHTS AND SUDDEN VEHICLE TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CREATING TRAUMATIC EFFECTS ON ME.I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA TO GET THIS SITUATION FIXED.
I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD V-6 EXL. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AFTER PRESSING THE STARTER BUTTON. FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM IT SOUNDS LIKE AND ELECTRICAL WHINE. THIS OCCURS SOMETIMES AT THE FIRST START-UP OR WHILE OUT AND ABOUT RUNNING ERRANDS.HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2014. I AM THE ONLY QWNEROF THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS 5500 MILES AND IS KEPT IN THE GARAGE.
VEHICLE'S BRAKES AND CALIPERS SEIZED UP WHILE DRIVING - UPON REPORTING TO THE DEALER, THEY ADVISED THIS WAS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. BOTH REAR CALIPERS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME, NEARLY CAUSING A FIRE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER FOR SAFETY
ALL 2013-2016 HONDA ACCORDS WITH V6 ENGINES AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVE A DESIGN FAILURE THAT CAUSES THE STARTER AND TORQUE CONVERTER TO GRIND INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL THEY FAIL. THIS DESIGN FAILURE CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND CAN LEAD TO THE OWNER STRANDED. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $4,000 . MY FAILURE STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH LESS THEN 50,000 MILES. I'VE HAD TO PAY FOR 3 NEW STARTERS AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOW THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT A VERY HIGH RATE ON THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WON'T ALIGN AND EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS REPLACED THE PROBLEM WILL STILL OCCUR BECAUSE OF THE CLEARANCE FAILURE DUE A MANUFACTURER DESIGN ISSUE.
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST, FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING AND PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL ACTIVATED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT, HONDA PART # 57110-T2G-L02. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO ORDER THE PART WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE PART IS BACKORDERED WITH NO EXPECTED RELEASE DATE. THAT WAS JUNE 2, 2020. TODAY IS JUNE 22, 2020 AND I CALLED HONDA AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULT. I BELIEVE THE WARNING INDICATORS ARE ACCURATELY COMMUNICATING THAT THESE SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE OFFLINE AND AM NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN REPAIR IT. IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE AND UNSAFE THAT HONDA CANNOT PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT FOR SUCH A CRUCIAL SAFETY-RELATED PART. *TR
MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR HONDA ACCORD 2014,FROM QUEST AUTO SALES IN SACRAMENTO,CA95821 ON MARCH 2020.THIS CAR DON'T HAVE GOOD ACCELERATION OR PICK UP SPEED LIKE IT SHOULD BE .THE DAY I TEST DRIVE IT WAS OK ,BUT HE GAVE IT TO ME NEXT DAY.AFTERWARDS I KEPT CALLING THIS DEALER NO ANSWER BACK.I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FEELS LIKE DRIVE AND PICK UP IS VERY POOR WITH VERY LOW POWER.PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THE PROBLEM,ON THE HIGHWAY PERFORMANCE IS REALLY POOR,WILL APPRECIATE A LOT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
2014 ACCORD SUDDENLY HAD ISSUES STARTING. PUSH BUTTON START PRODUCES NO CRANK, NO ATTEMPT TO START. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON, RADIO, HEADLIGHTS WORK. NEXT TRY STARTED IT PROPERLY. ISSUE THEN HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AND IT TAKES MORE AND MORE ATTEMPTS TO START. BRAND NEW BATTERY. NO ERROR CODE / CHECK MOTOR LIGHT. ALL YOU CAN DO IS WAIT AND KEEP TRYING TO START IT. . HIGH SCHOOL AGED DAUGHTER CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR AS WE CANNOT HAVE HER STRANDED SOMEWHERE WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT START. FOR ALL OF US IN THE FAMILY, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BECAME UNRELIABLE AND A RISK SINCE I HAVE STRONG CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AS WELL SINCE EVERYTHING WITH THE OPERATION RELIES ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.. AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, I REPRODUCED THE ISSUE. DID NOT START ON 3 OF 5 ATTEMPTS. SERVICE TECH DIAGNOSIS WAS "POSSIBLE BAD STARTER". NO WAY A STARTER SHOULD GO BAD ON A 2014 THAT IS WELL CARED FOR AND NOT USED EXTENSIVELY. THE SOLUTION OFFERED WAS FOR ME TO PAY $900 FOR SOMETHING THAT "MIGHT" FIX THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED TO NOT BE AWARE OF THE ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH NUMBER OF 2014 ACCORDS WITH THIS ISSUE, DESPITE MANY, MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. GOOGLE AUTO-COMPLETE SUGGESTS "STARTER ISSUES" AS SOON AS YOU ENTER "2014 HONDA ACCORD".IN THE SEARCH BOX BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE MOST COMMON ENTRIES. THE 2013 ACCORDS GOT RECALLED FOR FAULTY STARTER. THE 2014 ACCORD ALREADY HAD A RECALL FOR BATTERY HOUSING. THERE CLEARLY IS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE EXTENT OF WHICH AND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH IT ARE UNKNOWN. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PERMANENTLY BY HONDA TO GET THE VEHICLE IN THE PROPER STATE WHERE IT CAN BE STARTED WHENEVER AND WHEREVER THE OPERATOR IS (DAY OR NIGHT) AND WHERE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS PROVEN SAFE FOR ALL IN THE VEHICLE. *TR
2014 HONDA ACCORD WILL NOT START. I PRESS THE BRAKE BUT IT'S HARD TO PRESS DOWN. PUSH START WILL NOT GO IN TO START THE CAR. THE CAR HAS A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS RESET. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'M EXPERIENCING THIS WITH MY CAR. THE CAR DOES NOTHING NO SOUND. EVERYTHING JUST LOCK UP. *TR
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
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOOK, ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CAME ON, AND VEHICLE STALLED. VEHICLE TOWED TO MIDAS. MECHANIC THERE INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUE IS FAULTY ENGINE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2017 AND MAINTAIN COMPLETE UPKEEP OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
MY CAR 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A PROBLEM WITH STARTING ENGINE , IT WAS QUIET SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STARTING ENGINE AND IT TURNS OUT IT CAUSED STARTER WON'T START . MY CAR JUST 49,000 MILES AND OCCURS THIS PROBLEM . I'M TOTALLY DISAPPOINT THE QUALITY OF HONDA. I'M NOT SURE THAT : SHOULD NHTSA TAKE AN ACTION TO ORDER HONDA MOTOR RECALL THIS MATTER DUE TO DEFECTED STARTER OR WHAT SO EVER ? *TR
HONDA ACCORD SPORT 2014, NEW BATTERY AND NEW STARTER. SOME TIME START NORMAL SOME TIME DEAD. AFTER GIVING JUMP, START AND NO PROBLEM FOR FEW WEEKS AND START AGAIN. DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. *TR
I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS CORPORATE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH THE ISSUE OF THE PAINT PEELING OFF AT THE RAIN CHANNELS AT THE REAR WINDSHIELD. THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST OR THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. HONDA TELLS ME IT'S DUE TO THE TYPE OF WASH FLUID I'M USING AS WELL AS BIRD DROPPINGS AND TREE SAP HOWEVER, I WASH THE VEHICLE REGULARLY LIKE ALL OTHER VEHICLES I'VE OWNED, ALL UNDER THE SAME WASHING AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, AND THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THIS HAS HAPPENED ON. THE PAINT IS PEELING IS MAKING ITS WAY UP THE CHANNEL AND WHEN IT REACHES THE TOP IT'S GOING PEEL MUCH FASTER AROUND THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A FACEBOOK GROUP (HONDA PAINT DEFECT ACTION GROUP) AS AN EXAMPLE WITH ALMOST 2,000 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION. THAT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. *TR
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD IS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, LACK OF ENGINE POWER, ENGINE STALLING ISSUES AND OVERALL UNSAFE DRIVABILITY CONDITIONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ALBANY HONDA ON 5/4/2020 FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS I WAS EXPERIENCING SO THEY RECOMMENDED AN OIL CHANGE AND GASKET VALVE COVER REPLACEMENT AND CHARGED ME $262.08 FOR THE SERVICE. I PAID FOR THE SERVICE AND DROVE MY VEHICLE OFF THE LOT WITH THE SEVERE ISSUES STILL PRESENT. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE STRUGGLED TO GET UP HILLS, BEGAN JERKING, JOLTING VIOLENTLY AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED SERVE DEPARTMENT BACK AT HONDA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THAT I WAS BRINGING THE CAR BACK AND FOR THEM TO DO A THOROUGH INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF THE VEHICLE AS IT HAD BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THE NEXT DAY THE TELLS ME THAT THEY 'TEST DROVE' THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND THAT THE MECHANIC NOTICED A 'SLIGHT SURGE' BUT STILL COULD NOT PINPOINT THE ISSUE. THEY THEN RECOMMENDED A HOST OF COMPLETELY UNRELATED EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT WOULD COST ME $600 TO $700; MONEY THAT ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO SPARE DURING THIS NATIONWIDE PANDEMIC. FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED I ENDED UP TAKING MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS P0300'AS AN ENGINE MISFIRE. THE SHOP REFUSED TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PROBLEM IS A TSB BAD PISTON RINGS THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR
EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE I GET IN MY CAR AND TRY TO START IT UP AND IT WON'T START . IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT DOES START UP . YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO NOT START BECAUSE IT DOES IT EVERY NOW AND THEN . I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MANY TIMES WAITING AND CONSTANTLY TURNING THE SWITCH TO SEE IF IT'LL START AND AFTER MANY TRIES, IT DOES . I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER AND KEY FOB BATTERIES NEITHER ONE OF THEM WERE THE PROBLEM. AFTER REPLACING THE STARTER , MY KEY FOB STOPPED WORKING AND I CAN'T LOCK MY DOORS ANYMORE . I'VE ALSO TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY TRIED TO REPLACE TWO OF THE FUSES BUT THEY BOTH BURNT OUT AS SOON AS THEY WERE PUT IN . I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR TWO MONTHS AND IT FEELS LIKE I'VE HAD IT FOR YEARS THE WAY I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT . *TR
THE ABS MODULE IS BAD WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO GO BAD. THE FCW SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE ABS, BRAKE, VEHICLE STABILITY, ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM LIGHTS. *TR
I TURNED MY CAR ON ONE DAY AND THE LIGHT WITH THE CAR AND A SQUIGGLY LINE UNDER STARTED FLASHING THEN MOMENTS LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WITH THE EXCLAMATION MARK CAME ON THEN WEEKS FOLLOWING THE STEERING WHEEL LIGHT WITH THE ! CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TIRE PLACE TO CHECK AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG AND AFTER MONTHS OF GOING BACK ALMOST WEEKLY AT THIS POINT ONE OF THE TECHS SAYS HE HEARD OTHER HONDA ACCORD'S WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT IT MAY BE A FALSE READING. THEN AFTER SOME WEEKS MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY IN THE AFTERNOON OR LATER THESE LIGHT WOULD COME ON BUT NOW IT'S WHENEVER. SOMETIMES THEY GO OFF AFTER I START DRIVING BUT THEN THEY EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON. I LOOKED ON GOOGLE AND IT APPEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS STATING THERE WAS SOME KIND OF FAULTY BOX THINGY THAT IS USED TO COMMUNICATE BETWEEN THE LIGHTS GOING OFF AND THE CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET SOMEONE TO DO ALL OF THIS AND IF THERE ARE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DID HONDA USE A FAULTY PART AS OTHERS ARE SAYING? PLEASE HELP
THE CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL. IT DOES NOT GIVE A CODE AND AFTER 3-6 ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY STARTS. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED OVER THE LAST MONTH FOUR TIMES.
ALONG THE ROOF-LINE WHERE THE ROOF MEETS THE BACK WINDSHIELD THE PAINT IS PEELING AWAY AND IT GETTING PROGRESSIVE WORSE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS WITH HONDA AND THEIR DEALERSHIP. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NEED ADDRESSING. MY VEHICLE HAS 40+K MILE AND GARAGE KEPT...EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND NO ACCIDENTS AND NO ISSUES AT ALL. MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE...MY COMMUTE DISTANCE IS 2 MILES FROM MY HOME. SEE PHOTOS OF CONDITION OF VEHICLE AND PAINT PEELING AWAY/FLAKING OFF AT THE ROOF-LINE. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA OWNER FOR OVER 3 DECADES WITH MANY DIFFERENT HONDA PRODUCTS INCLUDING THEIR LAWNMOWERS! PLEASE REVIEW AND ASSIST. I AM PUTTING THE DATE BELOW OF DEC 2017 (ONLY 3 YEARS IN) WHEN THE PAINT STARTED PEELING... ITS GOTTEN WORSE WITH EACH PASSING DAY. MANY THANKS
REAR VIEW CAMERA DOES NOT HAVE AN IMAGE ON FRONT SCREEN. GRID LINES ARE THERE. SIDE MIRROR CAMERA IS OK.
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.
AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN GEAR IT SHOWS A FCW CODE IN THE DASHBOARD. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR IS MOVING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, ON A STREET, HIGHWAY, AND INTERSTATE.
CAR DOES NOT START RELIABLY AND WHEN IT DOES, LIGHTS DIM UPON ENGAGING THE POWER STEERING TO TURN, THE RADIO GOES ON AND OFF WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THE CAR NEARLY DIES WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH THE AC RUNNING.THERE ARE COUNTLESS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE TO WARRANT A RECALL. EITHER THE BATTERY HARNESS IS DEFECTIVE OR THE HONDA ACCORD IN GENERAL HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES STARTING AS EARLY AS 35,000 MILES.THE BATTERY, STARTER & ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN TESTED AND RULED OUT AS DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE CAR THAT COULD DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THE BATTERY-ADJUSTING SOFTWARE AND SOME ISSUE WITH MOISTURE INCREASING RISK OF FIRE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHANGE OIL SERVICE LIGHT SHOWED 30 PERCENT OIL LIFE REMAINING IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE REMOVED THE DIPSTICK AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS. THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.
MY ACCORD'S BACKUP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE SCREEN IS SHOWING MULTI-ANGLE, BUT NO PICTURE. THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE, OF COURSE, WHEN I NOTICED IT. TALKING TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, WAS OF COURSE SURPRISED.
ENGINE WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. CAR IS PUSH BUTTON START. HEAR RELAY CLICK BUT STARTER DOES NOTHING. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, CAR STARTS NORMALLY WITH PLENTY OF CRANK FROM THE STARTER. BATTERY/ALTERNATOR CHECKS OUT FINE; THIS IS NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. INTERMITTENT BUT SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY.
MY CAR IS BURNING OIL. 1. THERE IS BLACK SUTT AROUND THE EXHAUST. 2. CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR. CAR HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LEFT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANKS!
2014 HONDA ACCORD WILL NOT START. IT STARTS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE, BUT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES IT EVENTUALLY STARTS, BUT OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO JUMP IT. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BOTH CHECK OUT FINE.

SINCE ABOUT OCT 2019 HAD AN OIL LEAK BUT ALWAYS KEPT ENOUGH OIL IN CAR BY OCCASIONALLY CHECKING/FILLING WHEN NECESSARY THEN ON 2/17/20 WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT 55MPH THE CAR LOSS POWER SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK OIL LEVEL WHICH WAS FINE. THEN RESTARTED CAR BUT CAR WAS STILL UNDER POWERED BUCKING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. TOOK CAR IN TO FIND THAT 1 OF 4 CYLINDERS HAD ONLY 15% COMPRESSION WHY? BUT DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE ENGINE APART SO PUT IN NEW PLUGS AND POINTS BUT DIDN'T SOLVE PROBLEM. FOUND 2014 RECALL THAT WAS STRIKING SIMILAR BUT HONDA CLAIMS THAT RECALL DOESN'T COVER MY CAR?? PLEASE HELP BECAUSE THIS RECALL OF JULY 2014 MANUFACTURED CARS SHOULD POSSIBLY BE EXPANDED OR MAYBE ANOTHER RECALL IS NEEDED. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

VEHICLE RATTLES ON COLD START. FREQUENTLY BURNING OIL. HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED FEBRUARY 2014.
I MAY HAVE CLICKED THE WRONG SUBJECT BUT MY STARTER HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS AND I GOOGLED I AND SAW THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE STARTER
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 .
TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH ONLY 76,000 MILES.
TODAY IS FEBRUARY 24 2020 AND MY CAR STARTED DOING A WEIRD NOISE ON THE ENGINE WHAT IT SOUND LIKE A MISFIRE BUT ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING UP ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE LOSING POWER ON IT WAS VERY SCARY CUZ A LOT OF CARS WERE PASSING BY AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY I WAS REAL SCARY CARS ALMOST HIT ME .. THE CAR WAS SERVICE A WEEK BEFORE THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS WHICH GOT DONE ON IT EVER SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS HAD A WEIRD RATTLING NOISE WHEN STARTING IT UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY HOPE THESE ISSUES ARE CORRECTED BYE DINNERS UNDER SHIPS OR MANUFACTURERS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES THANK YOU.
IN THE 2014 ACCORD, THE PUSH TO START TURNS THE LIGHTS ON AND THE DASH, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT START. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN OTHER MODELS OF HONDA BUT NOT IN THE 2014. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I CAN TURN EVERYTHING BUT THE CAR ON. THE PIECE IS $200.00 TO REPLACE WITHOUT LABOUR COST. I ONLY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND, I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. I TRULY HOPE THIS CAN BE FIXED AND A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER. THIS IS ONGOING STILL SOMETIMES AFTER TRYING FOR 10-15 MINUTES IT WILL START OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. MAKES IT VERY HARD WHEN I'M A SINGLE MOM WHO THOUGHT SHE WAS BUYING A GOOD RELIABLE CAR.
ENGINE FAILS TO CRANK AT FIRST TRY. CAR HAS ONLY 30000 MILES. STARTER MAKES STRANGE SOUND AND NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN CARS IS PARKED FOR SOME TIME. HAD THE BATTERY TERMINAL RECALL DONE BEFORE THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN. REPEATED TRIES WITH THE START BUTTON WILL EVENTUALLY WORK, SO FAR.
LOUD RATTLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ON COLD START UP.
I HAVE HAD 1 OEM HONDA STARTER REPLACED AND 2 AFTERMARKET ONES. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY STARTS. SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES LEAVES ME STRANDED. I TOOK THE CAR IN A FEW TIMES TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AND SINCE I COULDN'T REPLICATE IT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND WAS CHARGED THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE $180. THIS CAR IS SO UNRELIABLE THAT I CAN'T EVEN HAVE MY KIDS DRIVE IT FEARING THEM BEING STRANDED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AT LEAST 6 TIMES. TO HAVE THE CAR START FINE THE NEXT DAY OR EVEN HOURS LATER. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH OTHERS OWNING THE SAME GENERATION HONDA ACCORD ON ALL THE FORUMS ONLINE. IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS AROUND 40K AND NOW MY CAR IS 160K, SINCE NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT.
ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY UPON STARTUP. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED DURING ENTIRE PERIOD OF ORIGINAL OWNERSHIP. APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ENGINE ISSUE.
VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT START. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR ONE WAS RECALLED AND SOFTWARE WAS FIXED CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND BATTERY AND THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM SUBMITTING WAS NOT RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE SAME DAY AND ARE THE SAME EXACT MODEL.
VEHICLE WILL NOT START SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PUSH THE START BUTTON. I HAD THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTED TESTED AND ALL ARE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.. ALL THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYS ARE FINE AS WELL. THE PROCESS I USE TO START THE CAR IS PUSH THE BREAK THEN PRESS THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHEN IT DOES NOT START IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT THERE AGAIN WHEN THE BATTERY IS TESTED IT IS FULLER CHARGED. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS A NEW MOTHER. I AM SCARED MY SON AND I WILL BE LEFT SOMEWHERE WITH MY CAR UNABLE TO START. I HAVE ATTACHED AN IMAGE OF WHICH DASHBOARD ALERTS APPEARS WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE PUSH-BUTTON START FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THINGS WORKED A LITTLE BETTER FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT IT IS BACK TO NOT STARTING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I HOLD DOWN THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON.
VEHICLE HAS STEERING ISSUES EVEN AFTER ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE HAS ISSUES STARTING ENGINE
WHEN TRYING TO START, MAKES A CLICKING NOISE AND WON'T START. HAVE TO TURN IT OFF, WAIT, THEN TRY AGAIN. SOMETIMES I EVEN GET OUT THE CAR AND LOCK IT TO RESET EVERYTHING. SOMETIMES IT STARTS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO JUMP START IT.
I BELIEVE IT IS A STARTER ISSUE. WHEN I GO TO START THE VEHICLE IT WILL OFTEN STALL AND NOT THE START THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES AND I CAN HEAR IT TRY TO START BUT FAIL. THE CAR ONLY HAS 39K MILES ON IT AND I WAS DOING MY RESEARCH AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2014 ACCORD. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND FIXED BY HONDA OR REFUNDED FOR REPAIR BY HONDA.
AS SOON AS MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, A LITTLE OVER 3 YRS AND CLOSE TO 40,000 MILES, MY STARTER WENT BAD. SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, WE HAD THE STARTER REPLACED IN LATE 2017. MY STARTER STARTED MAKING NOISES AGAIN AND WOULD NOT START SPORADICALLY WITHIN A YEAR. IT HAS GRADUALLY STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. MY CAR IS 5 YRS OLD AND HAS 90 000 + MILES, AND IS GOING TO NEED A 2ND STARTER REPLACED. SOMETHING HAS TO BE BURNING UP MY STARTER.
CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER SEVERAL TRIES.
REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. GUIDELINES ARE THERE BUT NO REAR PICTURE. DEALER SAYS ITS A BAD CAMERA BUT MAY BE A PLOY TO MAK SOME MONEY.
OIL IS EXCESSIVELY BURNING. ALTERNATOR ISN'T CHARGING CAR BATTERY.
BOUGHT A 2014 ACCORD COUPE NEW. IT IS NOW 12/16/19 AND THIS IS THE FIFTH BATTERY IN THE CAR. 4 REPLACED BY HONDA AND 1 REPLACED BY MECHANIC. IF CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 2 - 3 DAYS IT WILL NOT START. HONDA SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE. LIKE THE RIDE ON THE CAR BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RELIABILITY.
DURING COLDER WEATHER AND UPON COLD START ENGINE RATTLES UNTIL CAR ENGINE IS WARM.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING, PRESSING THE PUSH BUTTON START WOULD ONLY RESULT IN A CLICK. AFTER BEING STRANDED BY THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. I REMOVED THE STARTER FOR TESTING. WHEN THE STARTER WAS BENCH TESTED IT WORKED FINE. I PUT IT BACK ON THE CAR, IT STARTED ONCE AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I REPLACED THE STARTER MYSELF. IT WAS $310 FOR THE PART. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES STARTING THE CAR IN THE WEEK FOLLOWING THE REPLACEMENT. AFTER READING THE NHTSA POSTS AND ONLINE THIS IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH THE ACCORD THAT IS UNDERREPORTED.
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.
MY ACCORD HAD STARTING ISSUES FOR SOMETIME, FEW WEEKS AGO IT COMPLETELY DEAD. CALLED AAA BATTERY SERVICE, THEY CHECKED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. AGAIN I FACED SAME ISSUE, WITH IN A WEEK MY VEHICLE COMPLETED DEAD, WHICH DIDN'T START. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO NEAR BY HONDA DEALER, THEY INSPECTED AND TOLD THAT ISSUE WAS BAD STARTER. AND THEY CHARGED FANCY PRICE FOR THAT, $431 FOR SPARE AND $375 FOR LABOR JUST REPLACING THE STARTER. SO MANY CUSTOMERS FACING THE ISSUE, WITHIN 45,000 MILES, HONDA DOESN'T CARE. WHEN I RAISED THIS ISSUE TO HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT STARTER IS WEAR PART AND I NEED TO REPLACE EVERY 40,000 MILES. ATTACHED HONDA SEVICE INVOICE FOR REFERENCE.
PAINT BEGAN PEELING AROUND THE BACK WINDOW. ALL AROUND IT, IN THE LIP AROUND THE WINDOW. IN NORMAL DAILY USE.
DEFECTIVE STARTER; I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STARTER. AT TIMES MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD V6 WILL NOT START. AFTER THE THIRD TIME, IT WILL START SUCCESSFULLY.
2014 HONDA ACCORD LX 2.4 CAR HAS BEEN BURNING EXCESS OIL OF ABOUT 1 QUART PER 500 MILES. LOW PRESSURE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH CAR STALLING. THIS HAPPENED AFTER RELATIVELY SHORT INTERVALS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND ADDS. TAILPIPE HAS EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILDUP. REPLACED PCV VALVE AND ISSUE CONTINUES. CAR ONLY HAS 100K MILES ON IT. DEALERS ARE OF NO HELP AND DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM HAS NORMAL. HONDA HAS A RECALL ON OLDER MODEL (2008-2011) MODELS SO IT APPEARS THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THEIR ENGINE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE 1000S OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT'S TIME THAT HONDA RECALLS THESE VEHICLES. I'M SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS OUT THERE WHO ARE UNAWARE OF THIS THAT COULD HAVE A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE . I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE. OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL LOW PRESSURE LIGHT FLICKERED . WHEN I CHECKED OIL IT WAS BONE DRY. PLEASE READ THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS . THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR CARS IN THIS AGE RANGE .
ON FRIDAY, 11/15/19, MY CAR NOTIFIED ME TO CHECK MY FUEL CAP, SO I CHECKED IT AND CLOSED IT UNTIL THE HEARING THE CLICKING SOUND. ON SATURDAY11/16/19, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; I'D BEEN SMELLING A STRONG SMELL OF GAS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE OF MY HOME, I HAD SOMEONE TO GO AND CHECK MY HOME AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG THERE. IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS PUMPING GAS INTO MY CAR (TURNED OFF), AND WHEN IT REACHED FULL, THE HANDLE CLICKED, AND I COULD HEAR THE GAS POURING OUT ONTO THE GROUND.
THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD. MORE SPECIFICALLY, I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A MALL'S PARKING LOT. THERE ARE ONLY 85,636 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS MADE IN AMERICA IN JANUARY 2014. PRIOR TO THIS EVENT, THERE WEREN'T ANY ISSUES OR ALERTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION.
2014 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH 28000 MILES. STARTED HAVING STARTING ISSUES APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 8 TRIES TO START AT TIMES THEN OTHER TIMES ,NO ISSUE AT ALL. NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, ONLY WHEN PARKED. CHANGED THE BATTERY WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE SINCE THIS IS AN IDENTIFIED ISSUE BY THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET. THE CARE REP "ANNA" INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BASICALLY NOTHING COULD BE DONE, AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. SHE INFORMED ME THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A STARTER ISSUE. I TOLD HER IT WASN'T. IT IS FAULTY DESIGN PART ISSUE BY HONDA. I ASKED HER WHY THE 2013 CARS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2014. HER RESPONSE WAS THAT THE 2014 CARS ARE NOT RECALLED.
PURCHASED 2014 ACCORD 5 YEARS AGO, AND MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO I CALLED TO GET MY CAR SERVICE SINCE MY OIL LIFE SAID I WAS AT 30%. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. OF COURSE, WHEN I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER I REACHED 1K MILES FROM MY OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID I MAY NEED TO REPLACE PISTON RINGS OR GET A NEW ENGINE. I FIND IT SURPRISING FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. HONDA MUST BE LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FAILING THE EMISSIONS TEST AS THEIR CARS ARE BURNING WAY TOO MUCH OIL. HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS; IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER CARS (HENCE THE RECALL FOR 2008-2011 MODELS) AND SEEMS LIKE IT CONTINUES TO BE PROBLEM FOR THE NEWER CARS. KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE GONE TO THE SAME DEALER FOR ALL OF MY SERVICES AND KEPT UP TO DATE WITH MAINTENANCE; AND I WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD LOW OIL IN THESE FIVE YEARS.
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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED PERIODICALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE'S DOORS LOCKED BY THEMSELVES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,980.
ACCORD HAS PUSH BUTTON START PROBLEM STARTED MONTH AGO BUT IS GETTING WORSE. TRY TO START AND NOTHING HAPPENS EXCEPT DASH LIGHTS. SOMETIMES ON SECOND TRY IT STARTS BUT NOW NEEDS MULTIPLE TRIES. HAVE HEALTH ISSUES DO NOT NEED TO GET STUCK MULTIPLE TIMES. BATTERY IS UNDER 3 YEARS OLD AND CAR HAS 47000 MILES. WENT TO DEALER FOR RECALL AND OIL CHANGE AND THEIR CHECKLIST SHOWED WRONG ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO
THE CAR IS BURNING OIL. I COMPLETED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AS REQUESTED BY THE HONDA DEALER AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS HIGH, LEADING THEM TO CONCLUDE THAT THE CAR IS BURNING OIL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, TIRE GAUGE, AND STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CAPITOL HONDA (745 WEST CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY, CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136, (408) 675-5884) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE DEALER PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE CONTACT REFUSED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,100.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING AROUND OCT.1ST 2019. I HAVE 91,000 MILES AND HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AT 28,000 MILES IN JANUARY 2016. THE ISSUE IS MOST TIMES IT WILL TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 5 - 16 TURNS OF THE KEY BEFORE THE CAR STARTS, ITS TAKEN UP TO 40+ TIMES A FEW TIMES! I SEE THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS AT A GAS STATION AND WAS PHYSICALLY THREATENED BY A GUY WITH A KNIFE BECAUSE I FINISHED PUMPING MY GAS AND COULD NOT START MY CAR! I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR ON THE STREET SO THE CRAZED GUY COULD MOVE HIS CAR FROM BEHIND MINE. THIS ISSUE HAS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IT CAUSES MANY SAFETY ISSUES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, A WHINING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. OCCASIONALLY, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED MORSE HONDA (3790 W BLUE HERON BLVD, RIVIERA BEACH, FL 33404) WHERE THE STARTER WAS EXAMINED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-002. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.
I HAVE HAD THE MESSAGE "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM" ON MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT FROM MOSES HONDA. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON IT AND TOOK IT IN AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID THE RECALL WOULD FIX IT. WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE LOT AT MOSES HONDA AFTER HAVING THE RECALL SUPPOSEDLY FIXED MY CAR STILL SAID "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM". TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER IN GEORGIA AND SAID NEEDS A NEW STARTER. STILL SAYS "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM". HONDA WILL NOT FIX IT'S CARS.
2014 HONDA ACCORD -MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UPON STARTUP. AN HOUR LATER, THE SYMPTOMS ARE GONE. HONDA HAS ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 16-011 STATING THAT THE CAUSE IS CORROSION BETWEEN THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AND THE CKP SENSOR CONNECTOR. HONDA'S CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AND THE CKP SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL.
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.
INTERMEDIATE STARTER SCREECH WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. VEHICLE WILL NOT START WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND HAPPENS TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS.
HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING AND CAR WILL NOT START GUESSING IT'S THE STARTER. I THINK THE WIRES KEEP BLOWING THE LIGHTS OUT.
WHY WOULD MY AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING WAY WHEN I WAS HIT WITH ANOTHER CAR TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR IN THE DRIVER'S PASSENGER FRONT FINGER
PUSH BUTTON START WILL NOT WORK. DASH LIGHTS UP, BUT DOESN'T START MOTOR. PUSH IN ON BRAKE AND PRESSINGS THE START BUTTON MANY TIMES AND IT WILL START. WHERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE HELP US. YOU CAN PULL UP VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE . THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2013 MODEL
ENGINE TAKES LONG TO START. STARTER DOESN'T TURN OVER. STARTER TAKES UP TO MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BEFORE ENGINE TURNS ON. ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF THE PROCESS START OVER AGAIN. IT TAKES ME ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 20 MINS TO START THE CAR.
PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL GO THROUGH START SEQUENCE BUT DOES NOT TURN OVER ENGINE. HAVE TO WAIT A PERIOD OF TIME TO START OR TRY MULTIPILE TIMES UNTIL TURNS OVER. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS SEVERAL TIMES. ON REVIEW OF INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR.
GRINDING & SPINNING NOISE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY START AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. THIS SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM AFRAID ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS COULD CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS GRINDING AND THE CAR COULD FAIL TO START WHEN INVOLUNTARILY STOPPED ON A BUSY FREEWAY OR IN AN UNSAFE PARKING LOT, PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY OTHER TIME I START THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE SECOND OR THIRD ATTEMPT. I RECALL THAT THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED HAPPENING PROBABLY ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2014 BUT I KEPT THINKING THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO ME NOT PUSHING THE BUTTON PROPERLY AS THIS WAS THE FIRST CAR I OWNED WITH A PUSH BUTTON. THIS IS AN ISSUE HONDA APPARENTLY KNEW ABOUT AND ISSUED A TSB (#16-002) IN 2016 WHEN MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HONDA AND THEIR DEALERS DID NOT DISCLOSE IT TO ME DURING THE MANY ITEMS I TOOK MY CAR TO THEM AND ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

DRIVER ENTERED CAR AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING. CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE AND LIGHT ACCELERATOR PRESSURE WAS APPLIED APPROPRIATE FOR MOVING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. CAR PROCEEDED TO ADVANCE SLOWLY AT FIRST BUT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE AMOUNT OF RAPID AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS INCONSISTENT AND DISPROPORTIONATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND EFFORT THAT WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR WHEN ADVANCING FROM THE PARKING SPACE. THREE (3) PEDESTRIANS WERE EITHER HIT DIRECTLY BY THE CAR OR THE RESULTANT DEBRIS FROM THE ACCIDENT. TWO (2) REQUIRED MEDICAL CARE/HOSPITALIZATION. ADDITIONALLY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE GROCERY STORE AND VEHICLE. THE COST TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN APPRAISED AT ABOUT $9,500. THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF INJURIES TO PEDESTRIANS AND DAMAGE TO BUILDING HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD ACCORDING TO PUBLIC NHTSA DATABASE REPORTING HAS EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 17 SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTS (SAE) ATTRIBUTED TO FAILED VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WITH STRIKINGLY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDING TO NHTSA PUBLIC REPORTINGS HONDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF SOME OF THESE 17 SAES. THE SAES ARE NOT LIMITED TO JUST 2014 HONDA ACCORDS. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER MODEL YEARS IN 9TH GENERATION ACCORDS. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORDS ARE PART OF THE 9TH GENERATION HONDA ACCORDS FROM (2013 TO 2017) IN NORTH AMERICA. REQUEST NHTSA INVESTIGATE SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTS IN 9TH GENERATION HONDA ACCORDS (2013 TO 2017) IN NORTH AMERICA. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF INSTANCES OF SAE TO OBSERVE A CLEAR AND PRESENT PATTERN TO WARRANT AN IN-DEPT INVESTIGATION. THERE HAVE BEEN PRIOR INSTANCES OF HONDA RECALLING VEHICLES DUE TO SAE.
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.
CAR KEEPS GOING DEAD AFTER I HAVE A NEW STARTER AND A NEW BATTERY. SHUTS OFF ANYWHERE AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS
REAR CAMERA ONLY SHOWING YELLOW LINES. SIDE LANE CHANGE CAMERA NOT WORKING AT ALL.
THE CAR DID NOT TURN ON. HAD TO JUMP IT. AFTER JUMP BATTERY WAS STILL GOOD. BUT ALL SAFETY LIGHT IN THE CAR CAME ON. THE BATTERY IS 2-YEAR-OLDS AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE TESTING IT NOW. BUT DEALER MENTIONED THAT THEY NEED TO PUT A NEW BATTERY IN TO TEST IT FIRST.
REAR TIRE WEAR CONSISTENT WITH SUSPENSION ISSUE. REAR TIRES WITH NORMAL TREAD WEAR ARE CHUCKED AND CAUSING VIBRATION. CURRENTLY RUNNING GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 TIRES AND THIS IS THE SECOND SET THAT HAVE FAILED IN THIS MANNER.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD CAR COULD NOT START WITHOUT TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS. ON JULY 31 2019, I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER FOR POSSIBLE BATTERY PROBLEM BUT WAS FOUND THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER, THE CAR WAS SHOWING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I.E, BY TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR WITH THE FIRST AND SOMETIMES WITH THE SECOND ATTEMPT. ON AUGUST 13 2019, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY SUPERVISOR THAT THE STARTER WAS NO LONGER GOOD SO NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS WAS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO. I ARGUED WITH THE PERSON THAT HANDLED MY CAR THAT WHY THE STARTED COULD GO BAD WHILE DRIVEN 30,883 MILES ONLY. THE ONLY ADVISE I WAS GIVEN WAS THAT IF I DIDN'T CHANGE THE STARTER, THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY STOP FROM STARTING. SO I DECIDED THE DEALER TO PUT A NEW STARTER WITH A TOTAL OF $798.25 PRICE TAG.
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
THERE WAS A BATTERY ELECTRICAL SENSOR RECALLED IN WHICH I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED BUT NOW THE MECHANIC IS SAYING THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE STARTER SENSOR DELAYS. MY CAR HAS 75K AND TAKES 6 OR SO TIMES TO START WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON. THERE APPEARS TO BE A LARGE COMMUNITY OF 2013-2014 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED EVERY 20K THEREAFTER. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. WITH HAVING A BABY IN THE CAR, I CANNOT AFFORD TO BECOME STRANDED IN THE HEAT, NOT TO MENTION THE HIGH EXPENSE THIS COSTS WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT NEED TO BE FIXED AGAIN AFTER 20K MILES. LONG TIME HONDA OWNER WHO DOES NOT WANT TO SWITCH BRANDS BUT NEEDS SAFETY AND INTEGRITY TO BE TOP PRIORITY FROM A CAR MANUFACTURER.
I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER ON THIS CAR 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. SOME DAYS THE CAR STARTS JUST FINE AND OTHER TIMES YOU GO TO ART ART THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T START AND MAKES THIS TERRIFYING GRINDING NOISE. HONDA REALLY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE CAR ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO BE HAVING THESE KIND OF ISSUES. I AM ALWAYS FEARFUL THAT I'M GOING TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEED TO GET OUT OF SOMEWHERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO SO DUE TO THE CAR NOT STARTING RIGHT. IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO TAKE MY FAMILY PLACES FOR FEAR THAT WE WILL BE STRANDED. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED DUE TO THIS CAR NOT STARTING AT ALL A FEW MONTHS AFTER REPLACING THE STARTER.
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.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE FRONTAL DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED ON TO A UTILITY POLE. THE POLICE WAS PRESENT AND A REPORT WAS FILED NUMBER: 18007031. THE CONTACT WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TAKEN BY A FAMILY MEMBER, TREATED AND RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY LABELED THE VEHICLE DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,900.
I NOTICE COUPLE OF WEEK AGO THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST PUSH BUTTON PRESS. THE COST HONDA DEALER GAVE ME FOR THE REPAIR WAS $755.00. I CALLED HIM BACK THE NEXT DAY TO INFORM HIM ABOUT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STARTER FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I'VE READ AND PLAIN AS DAY HE SAY HONDA HAS NO REPORTS ABOUT THIS BEING A ON GOING ISSUES. I ALSO CALL THE HONDA CUSTOMER CARE LINE, AND AFTER BEING PLACE ON HOLD SEVERAL TIMES, I RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER.
THE PUSH BUTTON START IS NOT WORKING. POWER COMES ON BUT THE CAR DOES NOT TURN OVER. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AFTER THE THIRD OR FOURTH TIME. SOMETIMES I SAY A LITTLE PRAY.
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
PUSH BUTTON START NOT WORKING. STARTER IS DYING. TAKES THREE TO FOUR PUSH BUTTON STARTS TO START CAR. LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR.
VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT STARING ISSUES. BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ALL TEST GOOD AND NO CODES APPEAR IN VEHICLES COMPUTER. VEHICLE WILL START AND THEN THE NEXT TIME WON'T. ISSUE FIRST APPEARED WITHIN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED THEN AND STILL AN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES SIT OVER NIGHT OR WHILE OUT RUNNING ERRANDS.
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".
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.
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?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT THEN CRASHED INTO A CEMENT STREET LIGHT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO VIEW THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SOME FRACTURED RIBS, A CONCUSSION, FRACTURED SOME TEETH AND INJURED THEIR FACE/NECK/CHEST/BACK. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THEIR WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONTACT. THEIR WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT CALLED HONDA ESCONDIDO (1700 AUTO PARK WAY N, ESCONDIDO, CA 92029 (760) 706-7554) AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CRASH WAS NOT RELATED TO ANY RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *BF *AS
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.
STARTER FAILURE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD START ON INITIAL TRY. OTHER TIMES THE CAR WOULD NOT START ON THE INITIAL TRY. IT WOULD JUST CLICK. I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN.
SINCE NOV.2018 I HAVE THE STARTER PROBLEM. WITH IGNITION KEY IN EITHER THE LIGHTS COME UP - NO TURNING, OR IS GRINDS AND DIES (GARAGE). I REPLACED THE BATTERY THINKING IT IS THE BATTERY PROBLEM (VOLTAGE ~ 12.2 V). MILEAGE ABOUT 52K. WITH NEW BATTERY I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM 2-3 TIMES AGAIN (PARKING LOT). LAST TIME: MAY 2019 - NO LIGHTS, THE STARTED DOES NOT TURN. BATTERY WAS 13.4 V. MILEAGE 58K.
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.
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.
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, 20 MPH OR LESS, CAR DIES AND THEN RESTARTS ON IT'S OWN. TWICE WHILE TURNING AND ONCE AFTER THE CAR WAS IN PARK.
WHEN I HAD OIL CHANGED THERE WAS NO OIL SHOWING ON DIP STICK. CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES
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!
ENGINE CONSTANTLY BURNS OIL AND NEEDS TO BE REFILLED
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.
VEHICLE STARTS SPORADICALLY. VEHICLE HAS KEY IGNITION. ONLY ONE CLICK WHEN TURNING KEY. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNS ON IE. LIGHTS, RADIO ETC. IT WILL START SOMETIMES AFTER A FEW TURNS OF THE KEY. SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. BATTERY TESTED FINE, ALTERNATOR SYSTEM TESTED FINE, IGNITION SWITCH IS FINE, FUSES ARE FINE. FAULTY STARTER. EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDED BY INSURANCE COMPANY ATTEMPTED TO JUMP VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. NEEDED TO BE TOWED. STARTED AFTER 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS FOLLOWING DAY. NOW IT TAKES NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS EVERY TIME. FAULTY STARTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL.
LANE WATCH CAMERA STOPPED WORKING WITHIN 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. IT COMES ON FOR FEW DAYS AND THEN BLANK AGAIN. SAME IS THE CASE WITH REAR VIEW CAMERA. FAULTY CAMERAS OR SOME FAULTY COMPUTER SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN HONDA ACCORDS.
WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON, THE CAR MAY START OR NOT. IT'S ALMOST A GAMBLE WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON. HONDA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SAFE AND RELIABLE BUT DUE TO THIS IGNITION PROBLEM I DON'T FEEL SAFE OR IT'S RELIABILITY. THE CAR IS PUSH TO START, SO WHEN IT DOES NOT WANT TO START IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 8 TRY'S BEFORE THE CAR STARTS. I HAD AN INSTANCE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS WHERE MY PHONE WAS DEAD AND I WAS 27 MILES FROM HOME IN A PARKING STRUCTURE AND THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START AT ALL.
I TOOK MY CAR TO OIL CHANGE SERVICE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR WON'T START. I HAD TO CALL AAA TO JUMP START MY CAR. 5 DAYS LATER, IT DIED AGAIN. CALLED AAA TO JUMP START IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET IT INSPECTED. I PAID THEM $100+ JUST FOR THEM TO SAY, "EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE TO ME". 5 DAYS LATER, IT DIED AGAIN. TO WHICH AT THIS POINT, I WOULD RATHER NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL A RECALL HAPPENS. THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE.
VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40000 MILES ON IT AND ALL ROTORS ARE WARPED AND THE VOLUME TUNER KNOB WILL TURN THE VOLUME UP WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT DOWN
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 SYSTEM FAILED TO START THE ENGINE. IT TURNED ON ELECTRICAL BUT WOULD NOT START THE CAR. THE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND THERE WAS ONE CLICK BUT NOTHING ELSE DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR. LEFT ME STRANDED.
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY, AND I WOULD NEED TO PRESS THE PUSH BUTTON START SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED. LUNDGREN HONDA IN AUBURN MASSACHUSETTS SAID I NEEDED A NEW STARTER. I DID NOT EXPECT A STARTER TO FAIL ON A CAR WITH 43K MILES, AND I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2013 AND 2014 ACCORDS. I PAID FOR THE NEW STARTER SINCE I DID NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED IF THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY SAID THE STARTER IS NOT AN ISSUE AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR A RECALL. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HONDA STARTERS WITHOUT A RECALL AND IT POSES A SAFETY RISK IF PEOPLE ARE STRANDED BY A PART THAT FAILS PREMATURELY. ALTHOUGH I HAVE A NEW STARTER I FEAR IT MAY FAIL LIKE THE FIRST ONE DID. I'VE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE INVOICE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, IT WON'T TURN ON, LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD OR I NEED A NEW STARTER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS EVERYDAY. BEFORE IT WAS EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE.
THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY HAS A BLACK SCREEN AND NO IMAGE OF WHAT'S BEHIND THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT COMES BACK ON BUT IS FUZZY AND BLURRY. IT THEN GOES BACK TO BLACK. IN BOTH CASES THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA FEATURE IS USELESS AND CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. ADDITIONALLY THE SEAT MEMORY FEATURE HAS GONE OUT AS WELL. IT NO LONGER REMEMBERS THE LOCATION FOR DRIVER 1 OR DRIVER 2. THE MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS ALSO AFFECTED AND DOES NOT MOVE CONTINUOUSLY WHEN THE CONTROLS ARE ENGAGED. THIS AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND PROPER SEAT LOCATION AND VIEWPOINT.
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.
HONDA ACCORD 2014 FAILS TO START AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES, THEN WORKS OUT OF THE BLUE. I AM WORRIED IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED ONE IF THESE DAYS. MY CAR IS ONLY 33K MILES. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. WE SHOULD ALL FILE A PETITION AGAINST HONDA STARTER ISSUES. I SEE MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.
MY CAR KEEPS DYING. THE DEALER IS UNSURE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THERE WAS A BATTERY RECALL IN 2017.
GRINDING NOISE AT START UP. HAD TO REPLACE STARTER AT GREAT COST
WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND MOVING THE BACK UP CAMERA IS BLACK WHEN IN REVERSE WITH GUIDELINES. IT GOT DARKER AND PIXILATED THEN WHEN BLACK ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE SIDE LANEWATCH CAMERA HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING WHEN BLINKER IS ON OR BUTTON PRESSED. VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE LIMITED VISIBILITY ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT OR ON A GARAGE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!
MY HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD STARTER ISSUES BEGINNING AROUND 36,000 MILES. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED AT WORK AND AT THE GAS STATION. IT CONVENIENTLY BEGINS TO GIVE OUT AROUND TIME WARRANTY ENDS. IF IT IS A TYPICAL 100+ DEGREE DAY HERE OR A VERY COLD DAY THE STARTER WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND THEY WILL ONLY GIVES A SMALL REDUCTION IN PRICE TO FIX. THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL STATING IT DOESN'T CAUSE RISK OF LIFE OR BODILY INJURY. I BEG TO DIFFER, AS A CAR NOT STARTING IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT WHEN CHANCE OF NO ONE BEING AROUND TO HELP, IT CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. THE CAR HAS EVEN STOPPED WORKING SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING RUSH HOUR AND BEGINNING TO FAIL WHILE GOING 70 MPH. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH OWNERS OF 2012 - 2016 HONDAS (MORE THAN ONE MODEL) AND RANGING BETWEEN 36,000 TO 55,000 MILES.
I BELIEVE HONDA IS CHEATING ON THEIR EMISSIONS CERTIFICATIONS MY CAR. MY CAR HAS A CALIFORNIA: PZEV EMISSION CERTIFICATION WHICH CONTINUES FOR 15 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I PURCHASED THIS PZEV CAR THINKING IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT. MY CAR HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR, HAS 28,XXX MILES ON IT, AND IS CURRENTLY CONSUMING ENGINE OIL AT THE RATE OF ABOUT ONE QUART EVERY 3,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TO WALNUT CREEK HONDA COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND THEY TELL ME TO CONTINUE ADDING OIL UNTIL THE OIL CONSUMPTION RATE INCREASES TO ONE QUART EVERY 500 MILES. ENOUGH-IS-ENOUGH! THE INTERNET. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF POSTINGS FROM OTHER ANGRY HONDA OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION OF UP TO ONE QUART EVERY THOUSAND MILES AND HONDA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING HONDAS PROBLEM. DISCUSSION. PZEV MEANS PARTIAL ZERO EMISSIONS VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE MY CAR ALSO MEETS THE LOW EMISSIONS VEHICLE (LEV) TAILPIPE-EMISSION STANDARDS. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION UNNECESSARILY INCREASES AIR POLLUTION AS EVIDENCED BY THE COATING OF BLACK SOOT ON THE INSIDES OF MY CARS TAIL PIPE. CONCLUSION. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS CHEATING ON THEIR EMISSIONS CERTIFICATIONS BY DESIGNING AND BUILDING ENGINES THAT EARLY IN THEIR USEFUL LIFE DEVELOP EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO CORRECT THEIR DESIGN DEFECT UNTIL IT REACHES ONE QUART OF OIL BURNED (CREATING UNNECESSARY AIR POLLUTION) EVERY 500 MILES DRIVEN. MY FRIEND FRANK HAS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD WITH 85,XXX MILES THAT USES ALMOST ZERO OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, SO HONDA DEFINITELY KNOWS HOW TO MAKE ENGINES THAT DO NOT BURN OIL.
CAR DOES NOT START SOMETIMES AND WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA THEY SAID 800 $ FOR THE STARTER ISSUE
PUSH BUTTON START INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT START CAR -- LIGHTS COME ON BUT WONT START THINK IT MAY BE PART OF THE PROBELMS STATED ONDER TSB 16002 APPARENTLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE STARTER SYSTEM N--- HOWEVER HONDA WILL NOT PAY IF OUT OF WARRANTY AT 45000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAPPEN HONDA NEEDS TO MAN UP
THIS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLE HAS HAD SOME ODD PROBLEMS, SOME THAT MADE THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, 1) AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH MELTED ONTO COMPRESSOR. FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. 2) TIMING BELT TENSIONER LEAKED FLUID, FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. 3) DEALER DIAGNOSED ABS MODULE FAULT. AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED EVERY OTHER ELECTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEM IN THE CAR TO INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. OPENED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA WHO DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. THESE UNITS FAIL RARELY AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PART (36,000 MILE 3-YR WARRANTY) WAS EVEN BACK ORDERED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. FOR EXAMPLE, ONLY 1 UNIT WAS REPLACED IN ATLANTA, GA SINCE 2014, THEY WANTED ALMOST $1,600 TO FIX THE ISSUE. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SPECIALIST WHO FIXED IT FOR UNDER $600 BY FINDING A USED PART. I THINK HONDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ACCOMMODATING AND CONCERNED. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED THE ABS, LDW, FCW, AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS TO EVENTUALLY FAIL. LITERALLY, I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT AS THE ABS WAS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING (THE DAY A CAR TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME) AND SAVED ME FROM SKIDDING INTO AND T-BONING ANOTHER CAR. BUT ALL THESE ODD ISSUES JUST LEAVES ME WONDERING... WHEN'S THE NEXT WEIRD PROBLEM GOING TO POP UP?
OFTEN TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP, OTHER TIMES IT TAKES 2,3,4,5...10 TIMES TO START, AND SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE UP TO 20 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED. ONCE IT'S STARTED, THE CAR RUNS VERY WELL. THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. WHEN YOU PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON, SOMETIMES IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND, SOMETIMES IT MAKES NO SOUND. ALL THE AUXILIARY POWER COMES ON BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER. WE HAVE FOUND MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE DETAILING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 ACCORD. MINE HAS JUST OVER 67,000 MILES ON IT - WAY TOO EARLY FOR A STARTER TO BE FAILING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS -- BUT WHEN IT STARTED, IT WOULD ONLY TAKE 2 OR 3 TRIES TO START THE CAR. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT SEEMED TO FIX IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH, BUT THEN IT CAME BACK. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, WE BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECTIVE STARTER. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WANTS $590 TO REPLACE THE STARTER. THIS IS CLEARLY A FLAW IN MANUFACTURING. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WILL AT TIMES NOT START AND ONLY MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE START BUTTON, THIS STILL OCCURRING AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY AND STARTER TWICE IN ADDITION TO THE FOB BATTERY. I SPECULATE THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ISSUE AS SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START AFTER PUMPING/PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIMES OR JUST HOLDING IT AFTER INITIAL ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR (VERY FRUSTRATING). NEW ISSUE INVOLVES THE CAR STARTING WHILE ONLY PRESSING THE BRAKE AND MOVING THE GEAR SHIFTER (DANGEROUS AS A KID CAN START THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PRESSING THE START BUTTON). HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA (LOCAL/CALIFORNIA MAIN) AND SPOKE TO A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE YESTERDAY (5/7/2019) TO NO AVAIL. PLEASE ISSUES A RECALL FOR THESE CARS HAVING THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR WORSE, LOOSES THEIR LIVES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND IS ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS, LAST EVEN WAS TODAY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE AIR BAG KNOCKED THE CONTACT UNCONSCIOUS. WHEN THE CONTACT WOKE UP, THE VEHICLE HAD CRASHED INTO A STREET POLE. THE OTHER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BROKEN TEETH, A BACK INJURY, NECK AND KNEE PAINS, AND A GASH ON HER FOREHEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
NOT SURE IF THIS IS A "TAKATA RECALL." AUTO ACCIDENT ON MAJOR INTERSTATE, BREAKING AND MOVING ABOUT 10-15 MPH WHEN VEHICLE WAS STRUCK VARIOUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, THEN TOOK A FRONT STRIKE WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT WHILE ALSO RECEIVING A DRIVER SIDE HIT ALONG THE DOOR, REARVIEW MIRROR AREA, AND FRONT TIRE. THE VEHICLE THEN WAS PUSHED INTO A GUARDRAIL FROM STRIKES TO THE CAR IN THE UPPER FRONT AND SIDE REGION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING THE ACCIDENT OR AFTER, THOUGH EQUIPPED WITH SEVERAL AIRBAG LOCATIONS. THE SEATBELT REMAINED MOVEABLE AND DID NOT TENSE/LOCK UP.
THE MONTH AFTER OUR VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. I HAD TROUBLE TURNING MY CAR ON FOR THE TIME WHEN I WAS AT WORK (ABOUT AN 8 MILE DRIVE FROM HOME).. I DROVE TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES AND ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER OF IT BEING STATIONARY, IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. I TRIED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE OVERNIGHT AND CALL SOMEONE TO PICK ME UP. I WAS LUCKY THAT I REALIZED IT WASN'T WORKING DURING LUNCH. I USUALLY GOT OFF FROM WORK AT 6PM WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT IN THE OFFICE AND IF I DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE ON ME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALONE THERE IN AN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. .THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE STARTER AND SEEING HOW IT WAS A 3 YEAR CAR WITH NOT ENOUGH MILES TO WARRANT STARTER PROBLEMS, THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE. WE TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE CHARGES. WE PAID FOR A NEW STARTER OUT OF POCKET AND IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. NOW THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK. ONE DAY IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I TYPICALLY DRIVE WITH MY MOM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHE OFTEN GETS ANXIETY ATTACKS. THE WIND MAKES HER FEEL BETTER AND WHEN AN EPISODE WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED, I WASN'T ABLE TO PUT HER WINDOW DOWN TO HELP HER. THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ON THE CAR IS ALSO BROKEN. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT RIGHT AWAY SINCE THE RIGHT ONE WORKS. IN A SENSE, IT'S TERRIBLE THAT SOMETHING IN THE CAR WAS BROKEN AND THAT THERE WAS NO CAR SIGNAL TO NOTIFY ME. WE REALIZE THAT CARS REQUIRE UPKEEP, BUT FOR A 5 YEAR OLD CAR TO HAVE THIS MANY MECHANICAL ISSUES IS RIDICULOUS. I REALIZE THAT THESE
WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON, SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD START, AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T. WHEN IT WOULD NOT START, I WOULD HAVE TO TRY IT 3 TO 5 TIMES TO GET IT TO START. MY 2014 HONDA HAS 71K MILES AND THE STARTER HAS GONE OUT. COST TO REPLACE MY STARTER WAS $537.43. MY FRIEND, WITH AN IDENTIAL VEHICLE, ALSO HAD HER STARTER GO OUT AT 60K MILES (SAME ISSUE). THE STARTER SHOULD NOT BE GOING BAD THIS SOON ON A "QUALITY" VEHICLE. A RECALL ON THE STARTER SHOULD BE ISSUED.
IGNITION PROBLEMS. CAR WILL NOT START ON INITIAL TRY. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 66K MILES. IM AFRAID IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE IT DID NOT START. I PUT A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA, I THINK IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT, WHICH HAS PLAGUED THIS COMPANY FOR YEARS. I AM HOPING YOUR AGENCY CAN GO FURTHER WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU
BACKUP CAMERA IS NOW BLACK AND NOT WORKING AT ALL. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND PIXELATED THEY OFFERED TO CHARGE ME OVER $400 TO JUST REPLACE IT. NOW WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE THE CAMERA IS BLACK, IT HAS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THE 2 LINES STILL SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, SO THE SCREEN IS NOT AN ISSUE BUT NO VIDEO. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO NOW WHEN I PUT MY BLINKER ON THE SIDE CAMERA SEEMS TO ROLL , LIKE AN OLD TV HORIZONTAL HOLD, BEFORE IT BECOMES CLEAR
THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AFTER COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. INJURIES SUSTAINED INCLUDE BURNS AND LACERATIONS TO FACE BETWEEN EYES, FOREHEAD, ABOVE UPPER LIP AND ON LOWER LIP.
ISSUE STARTED MARCH 29TH APPROX. 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH 68,000 MILES 1 OWNER (ME). TRIED TURNING ON CAR AND JUST CLICKED. FINALLY CAME ON AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS.TOOK TO MECHANIC AND QUOTED ME $600 FOR STARTER. DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY SO I KEPT HAVING ISSUE UNTIL IT JUST STOPPED TURNING ON. HAD MY STARTER REPLACED.
THE CAR WILL NOT START FROM THE FIRST PUSH OF STARTING BUTTON WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IT TAKES AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO START THE CART. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND BATTERY FOR KEYS. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY THE PROBLEM OF NOT STARTING FROM FIRST TIME STILL HAPPENED.
PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK AT TIMES. LEAVING ME STRANDED. VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FOR 2014 HONDA ACCORD AND EARLIER MODELS. NEEDS A RECALL.
GETTING INTO MY STATIONARY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION OF THE CAR, AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY WHETHER THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY, OR SUBSEQUENT TIME: I ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH THE "START" BUTTON. INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE TURNING OVER, I ONLY GET THE DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN ENGAGE THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE "START" BUTTON AGAIN. THIS GOES ON A FEW TIMES TO SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEMS TO BE VERY RANDOM. WHEN I FIRST BEGAN HAVING THIS ISSUE, I TOOK THE CAR INTO HONDA AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HAVING THE ISSUE (SO THEY SAID...). THEY SUGGESTED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STARTER, BATTERY, AND ALTERNATOR. I PAID A GRIP OF CASH TO FIX THESE ISSUES, AND THE CAR BECAME WORSE. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC THAT I TRUST AND I WILL SHOW HIM THE COUNTLESS POSTS THAT OTHERS HAVE POSTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO I CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE ISSUE WILL ACTUALLY BE FIXED. THEN I WILL SELL THIS CAR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND NEVER BUY A HONDA MADE CAR AGAIN.
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.
HELLO' WHENEVER I COLD START MY HONDA ACCORD, THERE'S A SHORT GRINDING NOISE AT THE START, IN WHICH DISAPPEARS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SECOND OR TWO OF THE GRINDING. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE COLD START SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THERE WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE FOR EARLIER YEARS OF THIS CAR.
INTERMITTENT STARTER PROBLEM WITH SEPARATE KEY FOBS SOME TIMES STARTS FINE OTHERS IT DOESN'T
CAR JUST TURNED 5 YEARS OLD WITH 85,000 MILES AND THE CAR WON'T START. I WAS ALMOST STRANDED AT THE COFFEE SHOP WHEN AFTER THE 12TH TIME TRYING TO START CAR IT STARTED. WHEN KEY TURNED NOTHING HAPPENS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO DEALER WHERE TOLD ME THE STARTER IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL PROBABLY NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE THEY WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR RELIABILITY BUT A $700 ISSUE ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR IS NOT RELIABLE. I WOULD'VE BOUGHT A CHEVY IF THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. WHEN I BOUGHT THE HONDA I WAS TOLD BY SALESMAN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING UNTIL 300,000 MILES. WELL I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO 100,000 MILES.
OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS BEEN REGULARLY EXPERIENCING STARTER ISSUES. WHEN STARTING THE CAR FROM "PARK," THE CAR WILL CLICK AS THOUGH THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE CHECKED OUT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT, AND AT THE FIVE YEAR MARK, WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING STARTER ISSUES. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN SHARED ONLINE IN FORUMS, VIDEOS, ETC. THE ISSUE IS NOW BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND MORE SERIOUS. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL LIKE THEY DID FOR THE 2013 ACCORD STARTERS!
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
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LANECAMERA DOESN'T WORK OUT OF BLUE IT START WITH MY REVERSE CAMERA NOT WORKING NOT WRONG HAPPEN IT JUST STOP WORKING OUT OF BLUE PLEASE HAVE HONDA DEALER COVER IT BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE THANK YOU
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.
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.
STARTER MOTOR WOULD NOT START VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES. PROBLEM KEPT GETTING WORST UNTIL IT TOOK ABOUT 10-12 ATTEMPTS BEORE IT WOULD START. DEALER A ONE TIME GOOD FAITH REPLACEMENT AND CHARGED A $106.00 FEE. PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED FOR NOW. CAR HAD ABOUT 53K MILES.
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.
"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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR BODY AND OTHER REPAIRS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
ELECTRONIC START BUTTON DOES NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. BATTERY IS FINE. POWER TO CAR TURNS ON BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER. NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE BY 2014 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS.
BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY SCREEN IS BLACK AND LANE DEPARTURE CAMERA NOT FUNCTIONING.
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.
WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK THE CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. VERY SCARY SITUATION. IT GIVES NO WARNING, HE SAID.
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
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.
GRINDING NOISE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. GRINDING NOISE CAN OCCUR ONCE OR UP TO 10 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE WILL FINALLY START. ENGINE HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES WHEN INITIALLY OCCURRED. CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND MILEAGE.
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.
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE CONTACT PRESSED THE PUSH/START BUTTON TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
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.
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.
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE AT LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. HAD WE BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, WE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.
I'VE NOTICED THAT THE CAR IS CONSUMING OIL AT LEAST 1 QUART BEFORE 1K MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT YONKERS HONDA ON 12/28/2018 AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED TO BRING BACK THE CAR AT 1K MILES FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST.
3 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH, TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING, AND TPMS. DEALER SAYS ITS THE ABS MODULE. AT ONLY 53,000 MILES, I BELIEVE THIS IS PREMATURE FAILURE. POOR DESIGN ON HONDA BEHALF. SAME WITH THE SMALL OEM BATTERY HONDA PUTS IN THESE VEHICLES. ALSO FAILED PREMATURELY. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL FOR ABS MODULE. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND TOOK 5 ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, VEHICLE WOULD START AND STALL, AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS VEHICLE STAYED ON WITH 3 WARNING LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY.
WENT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, CAME OUT OF BEST BUY AND STARTED CAR TO GO HOME, NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. TURNED CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND NOTICED THE SAME THING. WHILE TRYING TO TURN IT, IT PULSATES, AS IF THE SYSTEM IS ACTING UP. USED UBER TO GET HOME. CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING. DID SOME RESEARCH ON GOOGLE, THE ONLY WAY TO BYPASS POWER STEERING IS TO PULL THE FUSE SO WE PULLED THE FUSE AND DROVE CAR HOME IN MANUAL STEERING MODE. CHECKED CAR WITH OBD2 SCANNER, NO CODES. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THESE CARS DON'T HAVE STEERING PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, WHEN I CHECKED ON GOOGLE, IT LOOKS LIKE HONDA HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH STEERING ISSUES IN THE 2013/2014 ACCORD.
I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS AGO.THEY REPROGRAM A KEY AND REPLACE A RECALL SENSOR, SO I WAS TOLD. THEY ALSO DID A SYSTEM UPDATE.SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. 1ST WAS A CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS MY ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY, BUT THEY SAID WAS NOTHING. THREE DAYS AGO I GOT INTO MY CAR TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START STATED " FCW SYSTEM FAILED" AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS ITS STARTED BUT ACCELERATION WOULD NOT RESPOND. RMP STAYED BELOW 2000 EVEN WITH MY FOOT DEEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR FOR 20 MINS , THEN IT ACCELERATOR CAME BACK. BUT FWC AND ALL SERVICE LIGHTS STAYED ON. WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY ALL LIGHTS WENT AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE ACCELERATION OCCUR AGAIN. WHILE ON THE HIGH WAY IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. MADE IT HOME SAFE. AS I WAS ABOUT TO GET IN MY CAR AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. CAR HAS POWER BUT IS NOT STARTING. AT ONE POINT OF TRYING TO START MY MPH GAGED WAS FLICKING, EVEN AFTER I RELEASE THE START BUTTON. IVE READ MANY REPORTS BY CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FWC FAIL AS WELL AS THE STARTER SYSTEM. BASE ON MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT ONLY HONDA ACCORD 2014 HAVING THIS ISSUE. HONDA CANT SEEM TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS BAD. WHATEVER THE CAUSE MAY BE HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS. I WAS LEFT STRANDED WITH NO HELP AND NO ONE TO CALL ON. BECAUSE ONE MOMENT MY CAR WAS DRIVING LIKE THE 2014 CAR IT IS AND NEXT IT WAS NOT.
SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STAYING ON AND RUNNING , WHEN I COME TO TURN IT ON , IT SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HONDA DEALERS AND THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.
I AM HAVING THE SAME STARTER ISSUES AS SO MANY ON A BLOG THAT I WAS READING AFTER HAVING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD FOR 4 YEAR. I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE STARTER AND THIS PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED ME 865. THEN I COMPLAIN AND THEY CALLED THE HONDA REP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY 200. I AM STILL IN A STATE OF SHOCK AFTER SEEING ALL THESE COMPLAIN AND HONDA HASN'T ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE YET. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND ITS REPUTATION
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. REPLACED BATTERY 2X!!!
SHUTTER FROM TRANSMISSION, FLUID CHANGED, CHANGED AGAIN, FLUSHED 3 TIMES , STILL HAVE PROBLEM
PRESSING THE START BUTTON WITH KEY FOB NEXT TO IT TURNS ON THE IGNITION AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BUT DOES NOT CRANK THE ENGINE, WILL HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE ENGINE. THIS IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AND STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, SEEMS TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS THE LAST INCIDENT REQUIRED REPEATING 6 TIMES TO GET THIS STARTED. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND ONLY HAS 30K MILES, ALL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. DISAPPOINTED TO EXPERIENCE SUCH ISSUE FROM A HONDA AS THE DECISION TO PURCHASE WAS SOLELY BASED ON THE REPUTATION OF HONDA.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I AM NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR. THE BATTERY IS GOOD AND THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB HAS BEEN REPLACED. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS. AFTER AWHILE (A FEW MINUTES TO 30 MINUTES OR SO)THE CAR WILL CRANK. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL SOON BE STRANDED AND NOT ABLE TO WAIT THIS OUT.
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.
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TROUBLE STARTING MY CAR RECENTLY. I PUSH THE START BUTTON HAVE MY FOOD ON THE BREAK AND IT TAKES A FEW TIMES SOMETIMES OVER 4 TIMES TO ACTUALLY START THE CAR. LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING COME ON WHEN I PUSH TO START BUT THE ENGINE IS NOT TURNING OVER. DEALERSHIP TESTED BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND WIRING AND EVERYTHING LOOKED TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY. MY CAR WAS CHECKED TWICE FOR THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL ISSUE AFFECTING MY MAKE AND MODEL AND IT CHECKED OUT FINE BOTH TIMES.
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.
I ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE FOR THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX VEHICLE IS THE STARTING ISSUE. SOMETIMES I CANNOT START THE CAR AND IT STRANDS ME ON THE ROADSIDE OR PARKING LOT SEVERAL TIMES. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. I ALSO WENT TO OTHER AUTO REPAIR STORES SEVERAL TIMES. AND SOME OF THEM SAID IT'S THE STARTER'S PROBLEM; OTHERS SAID IT'S ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY'S PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AND WHEN THE WEATHER BECOMES COLD, THE CAR CANNOT BE STARTED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WARM DAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES ME BIG TROUBLES BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY A LOT TO JUMP START IT. AND IT LEFT ME ON THE ROAD WHICH IS UNSAFE. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 55000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR CASES WITH OTHER HONDA OWNER ON THE INTERNET. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND MAKE A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
REAR CAMERA SHOWS ONLY A BLACK SCREEN WITH ORANGE GUIDELINES IT NO LONGER SHOWS OUTSIDE, WHEN CAR IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. SIDE CAMERA STILL FUNCTIONS
3 DASHBOARD LIGHTS APPEAR ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD ALL AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THESE THREE LIGHTS THAT REMAIN ILLUMINATED INCLUDE 1) ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) LIGHT, 2) VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (VSC) LIGHT, AND 3) ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT. HONDA DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ABS MODULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE (3YRS OR 36K MILES). THE QUOTE I RECIEVED TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULATOR FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS $1,700. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE ABS MODULATOR FOR HONDA ACCORD TO SEE IF THERE WERE OTHER ACCORD OWNERS THAT HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE. UPON SEARCH FROM YOUTUBE AND HONDA FORUMS, I FOUND THERE TO BE OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 3 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (ABS, VSC AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) AND THE REPAIR COST IF NOT UNDER WARRANTY CAN RANGE FROM $1,300 TO AS HIGH AS $2,000 FROM WHAT I SAW OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS TO REPORT. I FEEL AS THOUGH HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THIS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY AND FEEL AS THOUGH THEY SOLD ME A DYSFUNCTIONAL CAR. I FEEL COMPELLED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE MY CAR VALUE IS 10K AND TO REPAIR THE ABS MODULATOR I WOULD HAVE TO FORK UP NEARLY 20% OF MY CARS VALUE FOR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT WAS PERHAPS FAULTY DESIGN ON HONDAS PART. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS AND I HOPE YOU INVESTIGATE IT FURTHER.
WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 34,000 MILES ON OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD V6. AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED, THERE IS A FAULTY STARTER ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, AND WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, WE DEPRESS THE PUSH START BUTTON AND HEAR MANY CLICKS BUT NO TURN OVER OF THE ENGINE. WE HAVE TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE ENGINE. UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT STATED HONDA HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.
MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. IT WAS PARKED AT A SHOPPING MALL PARKING LOT . WHEN I CAME BACK AFTER SHOPPING MY CAR WON'T START. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A MONTH. THE ELECTRIC INGITION IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS ELECTRIC START FAILURE. THERE SHOULD BE AN URGENT RECALL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS IT KEEPS HAPPENING EVEN WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD.
FUEL PUMP 2014 HONDA ACCORD ..
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'VE BEEN REVIEWING SEVERAL WEBSITE'S WHERE CAR OWNERS OF 2014 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN'S HAS REPORTED WHERE THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN OVER WHEN YOU INSERT THEIR KEY. I HAVE TO TURN MY KEY AND TAKE IT OUT AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN OVER FOR THE IGNITION TO TURN OVER. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR MY ESPECIALLY IF I'M STRANDED. I WAS IN MY PARKING GARAGE ON 11/19/18 AT 5:30PM WHERE MY CAR WILL NOT START. I HAD TO TAKE MY KEY OUT AND INSERT IT IN THE IGNITION FOR ABOUT 5 TIMES BEFORE IT TURNOVER. MY CAR HAS HAD ITS ROUTINELY CHECK UPS AND I'M NOT SURE AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OR SUDDENLY. I'M NOTICING THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. WHEN I TAKEN MY CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP- DUVAL HONDA ON CASSET AVE AND THEY STATED THAT NO ONE HAS REPORTED THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER I HAVE REVIEW PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SIMILAR ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING.
THE STARTER HAS STARTED FAILING. IT STARTED OUT ONCE A WEEK AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IT FAILS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY.
HI SANDY HOW ARE YOU DOING? THE STRANGEST THING HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY. I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND IT WAS HARD TO STOP THE CAR, SO I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RACED, I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. THE DEALER TESTED IT OVER NIGHT FOR 160 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO WAS CHARGED FOR SERVICE. THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON PCM (MAIN COMPUTER) AND EPS SYSTEM (STEERING WHEEL)
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE STARTER MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE STARTED SMOKING SO HE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER VISALIA HONDA (1016 S BEN MADDOX WAY, VISALIA, CA 93292, (866) 220-5340) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
THE HONDA ACCORD 2014 IS CONSUMING TONS OF ENGINE OIL. HAVING ISSUES WITH "ENGINE OIL BURNING" WHERE EVIDENCE OF EVAPORATED ENGINE OIL IS ON THE ENGINE AND IS GETTING CONSUMED RAPIDLY. I HAVE TO REFILL A QUART FOR EVERY 1500 MILES. THIS MEANS 3 QUARTS ADDED BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. THIS WAS DISCOVERED AROUND NOV 2017 WHEN THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF (~44,000 MILES). AFTER GASKET REPLACEMENTS AND TWO OIL CHANGES, I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES AND AM AT 50,400 MILES. MY MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON TIME WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT AROUND 4500-5000 MILES.
AFTER 4 YRS AND 60K MILES THIS CAR HAS HAD A STARTER REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND I'VE GOTTHEN TWO NEW BATTERIES. NEED TO JUMP START EVERY NOW AND THEN EVEN AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF ONLY WHILE STOPPING FOR A COUPLE OFF MINUTES. CAN'T RELY ON THIS CAR TO BE ON TIME TO PICK UP KIDS FROM SCHOOL OR GET TO WORK
MY ALTERNATOR READING IS AT 12.0, WITH THE CAR STILL BEING THIS RECENT, THE PRICE OF A NEW ALTERNATOR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I WAS HOPING MAYBE TO SEE IF HONDA ACTUALLY HAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE FUEL ENGINE TO BE DISABLED AND THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION ONLY BY BATTERY POWER. ALSO, THE SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED 40 MPH. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS DISCHARGED, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO HAD NO RECORD OR KNOWLEDGE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V602000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM) FOR THE 2014-2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID VEHICLES.

2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BATTERY SENSOR RECALL AND CONNECTING ROD BOLTS SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS
WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, MOST OF THE TIME IT WON'T START. IT JUST CLICKS. I HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA SHOULD FIX. AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE, IF IT IS DARK OUT AND YOUR CAR WON'T START, THEN YOU ARE A TARGET FOR A CRIMINAL. I AM LOSING MY FAITH IN THE RELIABILITY OF HONDA'S.
ON 24 AUGUST 2018, SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH, TO INCLUDE THE THE FCW, LDW, BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VSA MODULATOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY RESET IT AND TOLD ME THAT IF THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, I WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO GET IT REPLACED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON 2 HOURS LATER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART, WHICH WAS $1400 +TAX AND LABOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
STARTER BUTTON HAS GONE BAD AT 40K MILES. BATTERY IS NEW, KEY FOB BATTERY IS NEW, STILL CAR WON'T START AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A WEEK. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT FINALLY STARTS. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE.
WHEN YOU PRESS THE START BUTTON, IT JUST CLICKS. AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT WOULD START. THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY STARTER (NOT THE BUTTON, KEY, OR BATTERY). AFTER ONLY 60K MILES? HONDA CHARGED $900 TO REPLACE IT. CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA DOES NOT STAND BY ITS PRODUCTS ANY MORE. THEY USED TO BE DEPENDABLE CARS.
CAN IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 118K MILES ON IT. HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR ERRORS ON THE COMPUTER WHEN IT WAS HOOKED UP BUT TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. CAR STOPPED GETTING IN GEAR. HAD A SALVAGED ONE PUT IN AND IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. ON 2 OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST WEEK, I'VE HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECOND FOR THE CAR TO START GOING AGAIN WHEN I ACCELERATED. IT REVED DURING THAT TIME BUT THE GEAR DID NOT CATCH. IT IS ALSO SHIFTING VERY ROUGH FROM THROUGH THE GEARS AND WHEN BRAKING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IT SHIFTS ROUGH. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY'VE BASICALLY TOLD ME OH WELL.
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY (2014 HONDA ACCORD, 42000 MILE) WARNING LIGHTS FOR BRAKES, ELEC. STABILITY CONTROL (VSA VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST), POWER STEERING, AND ABC CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR WHILE. THEY STARTED THEN TO GO AWAY FOR A FEW MILES THEN STAY ON MOST OF THE TIME. THE CAR ABS SYSTEM STARTED ACTING UP WHEN BRAKING AND ABS DOES NOT ENGAGE. I HAD IT CHECKED AT THE DEALER ON AUGUST 21, 2018 AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE VSA MODULATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND IT IS COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS AND CAUSING ALL 4 WARNING LIGHTS TO COME ON. THEY SAID THE REPAIR WILL COST $1565.00. THIS FAILURE IS VERY PREMATURE FOR SUCH A CAR THAN HAD ONLY 42,000 MILES AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED.
I WAS NOTIFIED BY CONSUMER REPORTS OF RECALL JP2 FOR MY CAR SHOWING THE NEED FOR CONNECTING ROD BOLTS ON MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD. HONDA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A VALID RECALL
STARTING FROM LAST MONTH, THE CAR SOMETIMES CANNOT BE STARTED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THERE WAS NO SOUND. THE ENGINE COULD NOT BE STARTED. IN THE BEGINNING, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK. AND IT COULD BE STARTED AFTER 4-5 TRIALS. NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES I TRIED 10 MIN BUT IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE MACHINIST EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD. THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STARTER WITH THE COST ABOUT $900. IT SEEMS A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS 42,000 MILES. STARTING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, THE CAR WOULD NOT START RANDOMLY. (BATTERY, ALTERNATOR TESTED GOOD. NO ISSUES WITH THEM) I DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IF THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC OR ON A HILL I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO START THE CAR BACK UP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I HAVE BEEN STRANDED PLACES BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T START. ONE TIME IT WAS 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I COULDN'T LEAVE TO GO HOME FROM WORK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START. SINCE THE ISSUE STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, IT IS NO MUCH WORSE. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY 15 TO 20 TIMES AND IT FINALLY WILL START. SOMETIMES IT WONT. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THESE 9TH GEN HONDA ACCORD STARTERS FAILING. MINE FAILED AT 42,000 MILES? WHAT MODERN CAR'S STARTER DIES THAT EARLY?! SOMEONE ELSE'S STARTER DIED AT 24,000 MILES. MANY POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WANTED $800 TO FIX THE ISSUE. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES. SO DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE, AND FRUSTRATING! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY HONDA.
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.
HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH DRIVER SEAT/HOUSING FALLING APART. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER TWICE AND IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER A YEAR OLD. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS SOME PARTS THAT WERE REPLACE. WELL IT HAS FALLEN APART AGAIN.
VTC ACTUATOR FAILED AT 30,000 MILES. THIS IS A LONG TERM ISSUE (2013,2014,2015,2016,2017 FOR ALL HONDA MODELS W THE 4CYL ENGINE. PART COST $203.88.OEM PART IS THE ONLY OPTION FOR REPLACEMENT WITH A REPLACEMENT TIME OF 5 HOURS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NO TSB'S OR RECALLS, RELATED TO THIS PART. THEY DID NOT OFFER TO DISCOUNT ANY ASPECT OF THE BILL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF THIS PART AT 30K IS REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY AND WOULD CAUTION RETURNING A HONDA BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. UTILIZE A QUALIFIED AND REPUTABLE ASE CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITY.
I RECENTLY CAME UPON AN ARTICLE ABOUT 2014 HONDA'S THAT WOULD OVER HEAT AND YOU WOULD LOSE POWER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT LOW SPEED IN TRAFFIC AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL BEFORE IT STALLED OUT I PRESSED THE GAS AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL RPM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONE MORE TIME ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER AND HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE.
'TAKATA RECALL' RECENTLY I PURCHASED A 2014 HONDA ACCORD FROM A DEALERSHIP WHICH MADE THIS MY FIRST CAR EVER. EVERYTHING WAS GOING RIGHT UP UNTIL 3 MONTHS OF ME HAVING THE CAR. MY BRAKES WENT OUT WITHOUT ME KNOWING BECAUSE SOMEONE FROM THAT DEALERSHIP BROKE OFF THE LITTLE CHIP THAT MAKES THE SQUEAKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPEN SHOWING THEM THE EVIDENCE AND THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE I WAS LYING WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 16 I ENDED UP HAVING A BLOWOUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR AND MESSED MY FRONT FENDER UP. TWO(2)MONTHS AFTER THAT IN MARCH I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BATTERY BECAUSE THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR HAD DIED OUT. PRIOR TO THAT I NEVER KNEW THE ALTERNATIVE WAS THE REASON FOR THE BATTERY TO CONSTANTLY DIE OUT. ON MARCH 15 2018 I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW AND EVEN INSPECT MY CAR WHEN ONE OF THE MANAGER CAME TO TALK TO ME HE SAID THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS ONLY 30DAYS. NOW NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT A WARRANTY HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW OR KNEW ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE GOING TO HAPPEN. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T HAVE ONE AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HELP ME WITH MY CAR. MAY 10 2018 MY FRIEND FOUND OUT SHE HAD A RECALL ON HER STARTER AND WENT AND GOT ANOTHER ONE. NOW WHEN I LOCKED UP THE HONDA RECALLS I SEEN THERE WERE TWO: ONE FOR THE BATTERY AND THE SECOND WAS FOR THE STARTER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN LEAVING VOICEMAILS AFTER VOICEMAIL UNTIL I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE AND JUST WENT UP THERE. AS I WALK IN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE PERSON WHO WAS IN A HIRE POSITION. AS WE ARE TALKING HE ASK ME HOW LONG I HAD THE CAR, HOW MANY MILES, AND THE QUESTION OF ALL WHEN IS YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRED. AFTER HE FOUND OUT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME. I PAY 400 AND HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR YET.
MY ACCORD IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON IT. MY STARTER JUST BEGAN FAILING (3 MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED). I WAS HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING FAILURE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING, MOST TIMES I WOULD IMMEDIATELY TRY AGAIN AND IT WOULD TURN ON FINE. ONE TIME IT TOOK ABOUT 5 TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY MECHANIC AND PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT STARTER, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM HONDA AND THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND THE STARTER WERE FAULTY. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH CLAWSON HONDA OF FRESNO (6346 N BLACKSTONE AVE, FRESNO, CA 93710, (559) 435-5000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.
WHEN STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT START AT ALL. DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED THE STARTER WAS BAD AND THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES.
RANDOMLY THE ABS, BRAKE, TRACTION, AND STEERING WHEEL INDICATORS APPEARED AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND MOVING IN MOTION TO GO TO THE STORE. NO WARNINGS PRECEDED. AFTER BEING CHECKED BY A MECHANIC, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A BAD MODULATOR. THE INDICATOR LIGHT CONTINUES TO POP UP EACH TRIP. SINCE HAVING THE CAR, THE STARTER WAS REPLACED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE GEAR WAS IN REVERSE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND THE STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE STEERING LOST POWER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,000.
THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR KEEPS COMING ON AND LOST OF POWER STEERING.
TRIED TO START MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD THAT HAS HAD WELL MAINTAINED MAINTENANCE ON IT AND IT WON'T START. EVERYTHING WORKS BUT THE CAR WON'T START. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS WEEK IT HAS HAPPENED AND THEN THE CAR JUST STARTS. NOW IT'S NOT STARTING. I DID MY RESEARCH AND REALIZE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2014 ACCORD. HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY. CAR IS TOO NEW WITH ONLY 55K MILES, I OWN A 2001 TOYOTA SIENNA AND NO ISSUES LIKE THIS JUST ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I PUT TRUST INTO HONDA AND THIS IS WHERE IT GETS ME.
HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT HONDA DEALER I BOUGHT CAR FROM. DOCUMENTED CAR LOSING QUART OIL EVERY 1000 MILES OR 2 QUARTS BETWEEN 8000 MILE OIL CHANGES. HONDA DOES NOT FIND THIS EXCESSIVE AND STATES A QUART PER 1000 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE, WHICH IS TOTAL BS. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR BUY A HONDA PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE!
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. ONLY A CLICKING SOUND WOULD BE HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. ALL IGNITION LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT PROPERLY AND HEADLIGHTS STAYED ON AND WERE BRIGHT. THIS INDICATED BATTERY WAS GOOD. ALSO BATTERY WAS JUST REPLACED. BUT THE CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT WOULD TAKE 2 TO 3 TRIES TO GET CAR TO START. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. IT TURNS OUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER. IT WENT BAD AFTER ONLY 42,500 MILES. I SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT STARTER ISSUE. IT APPEARS HONDA MAY HAVE DEFECT IN STARTER. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME $650 TO REPLACE STARTER. I BOUGHT A STARTER AND INSTALLED MYSELF SAVING MONEY.
I WAS SLOWLY MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO AND PULLING INTO A FRONT END IN PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR AS ALREADY GOING STRAIGHT INTO THE PARKING SPACE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, COULD NOT BE SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED BY THE BRAKE, JUMPED THE CURB, AND CRASHED INTO THE BUILDING. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.
MY CAR HAS 31000 MILES ON WHEN I SAW ALL 4 RIMS WITH THE PAINT BUBBLING UP, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF WHITE SPOTS ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE RIM.SECOND NOW I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE, I EVENTUALLY GET THE CAR TO TURN OVER BUT IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN A WEEK
THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE UP ON ME AT START UP. I TURNED IT OFF AND IT WORKED CORRECTLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. AFTER THE THIRD TIME I READ ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS OTHERS WERE HAVING AND KNEW THAT IT COULD FREEZE UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER MARCH 19 2018. HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT IT. I WILL FIX IT AND HOPE FOR A RECALL. IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $700. *TR
WAS BACKING VEHICLE OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY.
BACK UP CAMERA NO LONGER WORKING RIGHT TURN CAMERA NO LONGER WORKING
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.
PISTON RINGS NEED TO BE CHECKED. WENT FOR OIL CHANGE AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN CAR TECH SAID THERE WAS NOT A LEAK AND IT MUST BE BURNING OIL CAR WAS AT 30%
THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DOES NOT WORK 23000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REARVIEW CAMERA FAILED TO DISPLAY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. FRIENDSHIP HONDA (1440 BLOWING ROCK RD, BOONE, NC 28607) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN THERE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.
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.
MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH! IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT HIT BY ANYTHING. YOU CAN SEE IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS HOW IT BLEW OUTWARD. FORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE GLASS WENT OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND TERRIFYING! I WAS STILL ABOUT TWO HOURS AWAY FROM HOME SO I CLOSED THE SHADE GUARD SO THAT THE GLASS WOULD NOT FALL INSIDE ON ME. I COULD HEAR PIECES FALLING AND HITTING THE SHADE GUARD THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IN MY OPINION IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND WAS A DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED.
VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT TIMES AND THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND. IN THE BEGINNING, IT HAPPENED MAYBE TWICE A MONTH AND IT WOULD START AFTER A FEW SECONDS. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IT'S AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. ONE DAY IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I LEFT IT FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND WHEN I LATER TRIED TO START IT, IT STARTED WITH NO HESITATION. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY, BECAUSE I REPLACED THE BATTERY THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CAR WORKS EVEN WHEN THE CAR WON'T START.
I ONLY HAVE 29,600+ MILES ON MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH TROUBLE STARTING CAR ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 2 TO 3 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE STARTS. I BROUGHT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I AM LOOKING AT A $700+ BILL TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE STARTER. I SEE THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!
PROBLEM: SEEMS TO BE WITH IGNITION. WHILE CAR IS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE FAILS AT THE INITIAL TURN OF THE KEY FOR IGNITION. FAILURE OF IGNITION MAY HAPPEN 2-3 TIMES BEFORE CAR WILL RUN. NOT ONLY HAS THIS NOW HAPPENED MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TIMES, BUT WE ARE ALSO SEEING LARGER NUMBER OF TRIES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START. (EXAMPLE: FIRST SEVERAL OCCURRENCES THE CAR WOULD START AFTER 1-2 TRIES. NOW IT IS MORE COMMON TO TAKE 2-3 TRIES BEFORE IGNITION.) THIS COULD CAUSE ANY OF US TO BE STRANDED UNEXPECTANTLY...ESPECIALLY CONCERNED IF THIS HAPPENS ON A TRIP AWAY FROM HOME, &/OR TO WIFE OR DAUGHTER ALONE. WE HEARD OTHER YEARS OF SAME HONDA ACCORD IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SO WE WERE SURPRISED NOT TO SEE OUR MAKE AND MODEL LISTED FOR RECALL.
RECENTLY MY 2014 BONDA ACCORD SPORT HAS BEEN ACTING UP THE LAST WEEK OF APRIL 2018 GOING OUT FOR LUNCH I WAS GOING TO TURN ON CAR AND I WOULD NOT START SH!T STARTER PROBLEM I RETRIED EVENTUALLY CAR STARTED UP AGAIN BUT NOW WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING ,ABS, TPMS, AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS LIT UP AT SAME TIME SAME DAY DROVE CAR TO DEALER HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BUT 2 MILES AWAY FROM GETTING THERE THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF JUST MY LUCK SO HEADEAD BACK HOME. NOW ON 5/22/2018 IT HAPPEND AGAING THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING HOME IT STARTED WITH BREAK PEDAL WHEN APPLIED IT WOULD PULSE LIKE WHEN YOU SLAM BRAKES AND YOU FEEL ABS DOING ITS JOB MIND YOU I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED UP THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED ACTING UP THATS WHEN SAME LIGHTS ON DASH CAME UP AGAIN (SEE PICS) WAITING TILL TUESDAY TO GO GET CAR CHECKED OUT.
AT AROUND 35,000 MILES, THE STARTER IS NO LONGER WORKING AND SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT WITH SO FEW MILES
I PURCHASED 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT NEW IN MARCH 2014. AFTER 33000 MILES THE STARTER BEGAN TO NOT START THE ENGINE AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT AND SOMETIMES THE SECOND OR THIRD ATTEMPT.I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO LIBERTY HONDA HARTFORD CT. FOR SERVICE.DEALER SAID THE STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THE TIME WAS OVER THE 3YEAR COVERAGE PERIOD EVENTHOUGH THE MILEAGE WAS UNDER THE 36000 MILES.DEALER SAID 2014 AND 2015 YEARS HAD SOME BAD STARTERS INSTALLED BY FACTORY.I PAID FOR NEW STARTER INSTALLED FOR $775. WHY DID HONDA PUT BAD STARTERS IN CARS THAT WOULD BECOME DEFECTIVE SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION? MANY COMPLAINTS FROM 2014 & 2015 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.HONDA SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A REPAIR BASED ON GOODWILL. DEALER SAID NO. WHEN YOU CAN'T START THE CAR QUICKLY THAT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. CAR WOULD NOT START QUICKLY WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT,PARKED AT A STORE PARKING WITH ENGINE STILL WARM OR PARKED ON CITY STREET WITH ENGINE STILL WARM.TIME OF YEAR WAS APRIL AND MAY 2018.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST, TIRE PRESSURE, POWER STEERING, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO METRO HONDA (540 NEW JERSEY 440, JERSEY CITY, NJ) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REFUSED TO REPAIR THE FAILURES BECAUSE THE CONTACT DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE CONTACT DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR BOTH THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, SHOULDERS, RIBS AND CHEST THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. HONDA OF ESCONDIDO IN ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. **TR *JS
I INFORMED HONDA ABOUT MY CAR'S OIL SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND HOW THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL AT A FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD MY CAR CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AT HONDA IN BURLINGAME FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO LEAKS, YET THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THEY JUST TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE OIL GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD. AT THE 50% LEVEL IT MADE A BEEPING NOISE AND I HAD THE OIL CHECKED. IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY! THEREFORE THE OIL GAUGE WAS USELESS. I WROTE TO HONDA AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEMS. THEY JUST TOLD ME TO GET IT CHECKED AGAIN AND WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. NOW I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, AND VERY ALARMED THAT HONDA IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL DANGER OR THEIR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY.
MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 100K MILES UNCERTAIN WHY BUT ITS OBVIOUSLY A RECALL ON A BAD CAR IM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND THE CAR DOESNT WORK THE CAR HAS ENGINE ISSUES AND NO COLD A/C AND MANY OTHER ISSUES I THINK THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE OVERLOOKED AT ITS ONLY BEEN SINCE 2014 TIL 2018 AND THE CAR SHOULD HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES IM SO SAD THAT HONDA LET ME DOWN I OWNED SEVERAL HONDAS IM THE PAST AND I TRUSTED THERE VEHICLE BUT IM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT I HOPE THIS ISSUES GETS DOUBT WITH AND HONDA UNDERSTANDS I OWNED HONDA ACCORDS BEFORE MANY OF THEM AND THIS ONE HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM WHAT I SEE NOT A GOOD YEAR FOR HONDA 2014 OR MY CAR WAS A LEMON
CAR WILL NOT START WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED BUT AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS AND TURNING THE SWITCH ON AND OFF AND TURNING THE WHEEL AND PUSHING ON THE BRAKE IT SOMETIMES JUST STARTS. THE CAR HAS 55000 MILES. HAS BEEN HAPPENING 3 MONTHS GETTING WORSE.
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.
IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO START MY CAR. LAST NIGHT IT WOULDN'T START. WHEN IT FINALLY DID START ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN AND WOULDN'T GO OUT. THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OF MY FRIENDS THAT ALSO OWN 2014 HONDA'S.
HAD TO CHANGE THE STARTER 6/2017 AND THEN AGAIN 4/2018 CAR WOULD NOT START
NOTHING HAPPEN TO THE CAR. JUST ONE DAY START CAR AND THE CAR FCW AND LDW SYSTEM FAILED THEN ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS STAY ON ALSO.WE HAD TO REPLACE MODULATOR PART# 57110-T2F-L12. WE WERE 23,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY. WE DID NOT EVEN PAY CAR OFF YET. I HAD TO PAID $2,000 TO REPLACE. NEVER HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. JUST FELT VERY IN UNSAFE WITH THE SYSTEM THAT SUPPOSE TO MAKE ME FEEL SAFE KEPT SAY IT HAS FAILED.
TAKATA RECALL.... CAR WON'T START. CONNECTION TO BATTERY LOOSE. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT MID-IGNITION .... LOUD SOUND AND NOW NOTHING
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY: THE ACTUATOR FOR THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE REPLACED IT UNDER THE WARRANTY, I MENTIONED TO THEM THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND ALREADY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS!!! WELL I HAVE THE SAME SITUATION BUT THIS TIME IS IN THE REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE SO I TOOK TO THE DEALER THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME WE CAN NOT REPLACED IT SINCE THE WARRANTY IS DUE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, I MENTIONED TO THEM SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM DUE TO THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME ON DIFFERENT DOOR. APPARENTLY THE LOCKING MECHANISM HAS A FLAWS DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HONDA DOES NOT WANTS TO ACCEPT.
SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SEAT COVERS ON MY HONDA ACCORD! THIS IS THE 4TH HONDA THAT I OWN AND NONE HAVE HAD SUCH WEAR AND TEAR AS THE 2014!!! EVEN AFTER 10 YEARS OF USE ON ALL OF THEM, THEY WERE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THE 2014 AFTER 2 YEARS OF USE
VEHICLE WILL NOT START UPON INITIALLY PUSHING THE IGNITION . CHANGED BATTERIES IN THE REMOTES YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. VEHICLE ONLY STARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. INSTEAD OF PUSHING TO START HAVE BEEN PUSHING AND HOLDING TO START. PROBLEM BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. STARTED 03/11/18 AND CONTINUED ON.
2014 HONDA ACCORD. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG FAILURE DURING ACCIDENT. *SMD *CN
ON SOME OCCASIONS THE KEYLESS START BUTTON DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE STARTER. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO WORK OR WON'T AT ALL. SOMETIMES I LEAVE FOR A TIME AND WHEN I TRY AGAIN IT WORKS NORMALLY. I'VE HAD MANY CARS AND THIS ISSUE IS DEFFINETLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HONDA DEALER REPLACED STARTER UNDER WARRANTY AND INDICATED THAT THEY KNEW IT WAS AN ISSUE. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NEEDED TO PICK UP MY WIFE AT THE HOSPITAL AND COULD NOT GET CAR STARTED. I DO HAVE ANOTHER CAR SO IT ALL WORKED OUT BUT IF I DIDN'T IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD EVENT. I KNOW THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ESPECIALLY YOUTUBE. HONDA DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT PUBLICLY. OTHERWISE IT'S A GREAT CAR
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START WHEN YOU PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND ONLY CLICKS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THE CAR STALLS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR RAIL ROAD CROSSING AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STARTED. TO START THE VEHICLE (KEYLESS W/FOB), YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE START BUTTON. IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE STARTING OF THE CAR MAY BE PART OF THE ISSUE AS WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL MORE LIKELY START WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT VS. HARD. NOT SURE IF THE ISSUE IS ISOLATED TO THE START BUTTON, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, BOTH OR THE ELECTRONICS THAT INTERACTS WHEN THESE TWO. ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY PROVIDE WITH THIS ISSUE IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU
WHEEL BEARING FAILURE, PRE-MATURE - THE CAR MADE A LOUD LOW HUM BETWEEN 35-60 MPH. READING FORUM'S ON LINE, ROAD NOISE FROM THE MICHELIN TIRES WAS DESCRIBED WHICH I ASSUMED THE NOISE TO BE. THE NOISE SEEMED TO GET LOUDER OVER TIME SO I HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT OUT. BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HAD GONE BAD ON A 3 PLUS YEAR OLD CAR (JUST OUT OF WARRANTY) WITH 26,000 MILES. BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AND IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL EXPLANATION MARK LIGHT APPEARED TO ILLUMINATE. AT THAT MOMENT I WAS UNABLE TO STEER BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT BUT BY SOME MIRACLE I MANAGED TO GET BACK HOME BY USING ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY FIRST MADE REPLACE THE BATTERY CLAIMING THAT THE CAR IS SHOWING LOW VOLTAGE AND THAT NOT ENOUGH JUICE IS FLOWING TO THE EPS SYSTEM CAUSING IT NOT TO WORK, WHEN THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO REPLACE THE CONTROL UNIT, WHEN THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR ON THE RACK. AT THIS MOMENT I CALLED HONDA AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP. AND NOW I AM WRITING THIS INCIDENT TO SPREAD AWARENESS ON THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. POWER STEERING TO START CAUSING ISSUES THIS SOON IS REALLY SAD, AND FOR HONDA NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT KNOWING IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA FOR PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES IN DANGER.
OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD (PURCHASED "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED") HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. FIRST OF ALL THE CAR HAS 53,000 MILES. HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY; SINCE REPLACING THE BATTERY, A MYRIAD OF LIGHTS COME AND GO ON THE DASH FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH. NOW THE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON - BRAKE, ABS, FCW, LDW, STEERING ASSIST. DEALER SAYS "PROBABLY" THE ABS MODULE ($1400). LAUNCHED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA AMERICA - THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED. MY QUESTION(S) WERE (A) BY SPENDING $1400, IS THIS GOING TO FIX IT OR WILL IT "PROBABLY" FIX IT. (B) HOW LONG BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN?- KEEP IN MIND THE FIRST ONE LASTED 53,000 MILES (C) HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS? NO ANSWERS TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED; THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CLEAR WAS THAT IT WASN'T A WIDESPREAD ISSUE BECAUSE THE NHSTA OR HONDA HADN'T ISSUED ANY KIND OF TSB OR RECALL. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEWHAT TELLING WHEN I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, SPOKE WITH THE DESK PERSON IN SERVICE. WHILE OVER THE PHONE, EXPLAINED THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON - THE ANSWER OF "IT'S THE ABS MODULE" WAS INSTANT. FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T "COMMON" OR WIDESPREAD, THIS WAS A VERY QUICK REPLY. ALSO A GOOGLE SEARCH TURNS UP OTHER ISSUES JUST LIKE THE ONE WE ARE HAVING. JUST WONDER HOW SAFE THIS IS?
THE CAR HAS IGNITION PROBLEMS.
THE IGNITION SWITCH TOOK FOREVER TO START ENGINE. I HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER CHANGED AND PAID VANDERGRIFF HONDA DEALER $600+. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY SENSOR THAT AFFECTS ALSO THE ALTERNATOR.
CAR WON'T START
SEATBELT BEEN BROKEN SINCE I BOUGHT CAR. IM NOTICING MORE AND MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR.I BELIEVE I WAS SOLD A LEMON.WHEN PASSANGER SEAT BELT IS FASTENED, LIGHT COMES ON NOTIFYING ME THAT PASSANGER AIR BAG IS NOT ON. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT COME ON. AND SEATBELT DOES NOT STAY SECURED, IT KEEPS COMING UNFASTENED.VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY PASSENGERS.I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS CAR, NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS

THE CAR CONSUME OIL AND SOMETIMES THE OIL LEVEL COMPLETELY DRIED UP AT A MILEAGE OF 2500 MILES AND I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL LEVEL REGULARLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO MESSAGE IS POPPING UP TO WARN ME.
AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 MINUTES ORANGE STEERING WHEEL WITH EXCLAMATORY SIGN CAME ON DASHBOARD.WAS UNABLE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT BUT ONLY BACK AND FORWARD. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 3 TIMES.
REF PRIOR COMPLAINTS 11048722, 11035177, 11003743... ON 1/9/18, A NEW REMANUFACTURED STARTER PURCHASED FROM HONDA, WAS INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE. MILEAGE WAS 64740. TODAY, 2/22/18, THE GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED ON ONE START ATTEMPT - THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THE NEW STARTER - MILEGAE IS 65880. SO, IN JUST OVER 1100 MILES, 1 1/2 MO, AND AN AVERAGE OF MAYBE 40 TO 50 STARTS/WEEK, THE PROBLEM IS RESURFACING. I HAD THIS VEHICLE AT HONDA TO COMPLETE A PRIOR RECALL - ON 12/13/17 AND IT DID NOT START THERE. SERVICE MANAGER MADE EXCUSE ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT STARTER NOT BEING FROM HONDA... WELL - THIS ONE IS... SOMETHING IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. WHILE IT MANIFESTS AS A MECHANICAL GRINDING, CLICKING NOISE, IT IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM AS HAS BEEN NOTED BEFORE, AND IT IS VERY RANDOM... HOW AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO RE-SELL A VEHICLE WITH SUCH A PROBLEM - A HONDA DESIGN FLAW HAS CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE CAR'S VALUE, NOT TO MENTION EXPENSES AND TIME LOST. SEE OLD/NEW STARTER PIX... PLEASE KEEP THE INVESTIGATION MOVING FORWARD - I HAVE SUFFERED A LOSS, AS HAVE MANY OTHERS!!
MY 2014 ACCORD, PURCHASED IN APRIL 2014, BEGAN BURNING OIL AND HAD TO HAVE EXTENSIVE WORK/REPAIRS DONE. ACCORDING TO A RECALL NOTICE ON MODELS MANUFACTURED SHORTLY AFTER MINE, A SIMILAR ISSUE OCCURRED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CENTER THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL CARS THE SAME MODEL AS MINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL NOTICE HAD BEEN ISSUED YET. IF NOT ALREADY DONE, I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL. I CAN SEND DOCUMENTS OF WHAT WORK WAS DONE.
STARTING IN DEC. 2017 THE ENGINE STARTER WOULD NOT START THE CAR AT TIMES. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE STARTER PUT IN. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH 2013-2014 HONDA ACCORD ENGINE STARTER FAILING JUST OUT OF THE HONDA MILEAGE/YEAR WARRANTY, YET HONDA DOES NOT CHOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A RECALL FOR THIS PART.
THE KEYLESS ENTRY ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN WITHOUT HAVING THE KEY IN THE CAR. ACCORDING TO HONDA, THIS IS A FEATURE. AS I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE MANY MILES TO BRING THE KEY (WHICH WAS IN THE CAR WHEN IT WAS STARTED, BUT LEFT IN THE HOUSE BEFORE DRIVING OFF) TO MY HUSBAND BECAUSE HE DIDN'T REALIZE HE DID NOT HAVE HIS KEY UNTIL HE WENT TO START HIS CAR. HE WAS 9 MILES AWAY FROM OUR HOME. IN MY MIND, THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN BECOME STRANDED WITHOUT KNOWING IT.
WHEN I START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START ALL THE TIME, SPORADICALLY I WOULD GET NO START. THE LIGHT, ACC, RADIO, NAV EVERYTHING TURNS ON BUT THE ENGINE WONT START. I TRY AGAIN FEW TIMES IT WILL START, I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY 2014, 31000 MILES ON IT TILL DATE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2017, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED THEN THEY SOLD ME A BATTERY THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE "NO START" PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA AND INQUIRED AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEIR DEALERSHIP IS ABLE TO RE CREATE IT. 3 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM BECAME SO WORSE I WOULD GET NO START 2ND/3RD TIME I START THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY IDENTIFIED IT'S THE STARTER AND WOULD COST ME $1000 TO REPLACE. ONCE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED, I HAD THE PROBLEM RESURFACE 4 TIMES THAT MONTH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE STARTER AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. 3 WEEKS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, 4 TIMES NO START IN THE SAME WEEK, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY ROTATED THE GEAR PINION RING/ADJUSTED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AS PER HONDA. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, THESE SERVICE GUYS AT THE DEALERSHIP I'M GOING ARE EXCELLENT BUT I CANT IMAGINE I'M DRIVING HONDA 'S TOP OF THE CLASS ACCORD EX-L WHICH IS SO VERY UNRELIABLE.

THE DEALER'S GENERAL MANAGER WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.
THIS DISPUTE RELATED TO 2014 HONDA ACCORD SAFETY RECALL 17V-418. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, MOISTURE IS ENTERING INTO THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY SYSTEM WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF ABOVE RECALL. A MONTH BEFORE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE, MY CALL STALLED AT A GAS STATION ON OCTOBER 12, 2017 AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER DISCOVERED THAT SEVERE CORROSION DAMAGED THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND THE CABLE BROKE OFF. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND BATTERY WAS $735.52. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL 17V-418, THE ISSUE WE EXPERIENCED IS RELATED. DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW, THE MOISTURE IS DAMAGING VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE BATTERY SYSTEM. I FILED A CLAIM (CASE # 06489520) WITH HONDA FOR REIMBURSEMENT BUT MY REQUEST HAS BEEN DENIED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE PURCHASE. THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS THAT MOISTURE ENTERING THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND THE HONDA SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REIMBURSE THE COST OF REPAIR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR IS $735.52 + $65 (TOWING) = $800.52.
REAR WHEEL BEARINGS ARE MAKING MORE AND MORE NOISE ALL THE TIME
SOMETHING IN CONNECTION WITH ENGINE LOSS THERE WHERE AROUND 300 CATS RECALLED WAS JUST WONDERING IF OURS WAS ONE OF THEM PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK ON THIS ISSUE AS I WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER ASAP.IT SAYYS THEY MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE MY BLOCK AT NO CHARGE.
MY CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP JUMPING IT EVERY TIME I STARTED IT. I TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY MADE ME PAY $130 FOR NEW BATTERY. I FEEL IT WAS RELATED TO BATTERY RECALL AND I SHOULDNT HAVE HAD TO PAY. BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS A BAD CELL IN IT AND IT WASNT RELATED TO THE RECALL
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN APARKING LOT AS I HAD TO DO A QUICK ERRAND AT COSTCO. CAR WAS TURNED OFF WITH FAN RUNNING. MY WIFE STAYED BACK IN THE CAR. AFTER I CAME BACK AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINS, THE TRUNK WONT OPEN AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN CAR WERE OFF. CAR WONT START AT ALL. I TRIED STARTING FOR FEW MINS WITHOUT FAIL. LUCKILY I COULD JUMP START THE CAR USING THE JUMP START KIT IN COSTCO TIRE CENTRE. I TOOK IN THE CAR TO DEALER AS THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE AND BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIME AROUND EVERYTHING WAS OK. DEALER ADVISED ME TO NOT RUN THE ACCESORIES WITHOUT CAR ENGINE RUNNING. DEALER MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP CAR WEIGHT LOW, MANUFACTURERS ARE SWITCHING TO SMALLER AND SMALLER BATTERIES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE OCCUPANTS ARE AT PHYSICAL RISK IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE A DESOLATE PLACE OR CAR COULD BE UNAVAILABLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. MITIGATIONS EXPECTED ARE (1) CAR COMPUTERS SHOULD DETECT BATTERY DRAIN AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF TO ALLOW FOR CAR TO START, (2) HAVE A SECONDARY BATTERY BACKUP JUST FOR THESE SITUATIONS, (3) THERE IS SHOULD BE OPTION TO SWITCH TO A BIGGER BATTERY.
OIL LIFE AT 40%. CAR WAS MAKING NOISE. WHILE DRIVING AND PRESSED ON BRAKES ...OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. CHECKED OIL ON CAR. NO DROP OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NO LEAKS.. CARBON FOUND ON CYLINDERS, INSIDE ENGINE AND ON PINSTON RINGS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES, FUEL INJECTION WAS CLEANED, AND CVT TRANSMISSION IS ALSO REPLACED CONSISTENTLY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 6MONTHS AGO. ENGINE IS CURRENTLY DISMANTLED AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER! COMPLETELY UPSETTING!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS DESCRIBED IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-002. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.
I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERSIDE DOOR BY A FREIGHT TRUCK. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BANGED MY HEAD ON THE SIDE OF THE DOOR.
CONTACT GILLMAN HONDA IN HOUSTON, TEXAS REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIPS SAYING SUCH RECALL IS NOT EXISTING FOR MY VEHICLE.
I NOTICED WHEN MY CAR IS RUNNING(STATIONARY) WITH HEAT ON AND HEADLIGHTS ON AFTER COUPLE OF MINUTES IT MAKES A CLICK NOICE WHICH AFFECTS THE LIGHTS(HEADLIGHTS). WHEN CAR IS MOVING (IN MOTION) ALL OF A SUDDEN LIGHTS BECOME SUPER DIM AS IF THEY ARE BARELY ANY LIGHTS. SOME DAYS LIGHTS WORK AS IF THEY ARE BRAND NEW AND COVERS THE ENTIRE STREET.
MY VEHICLE IS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. ON SOME MORNINGS, IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 OR MORE TIMES TO ACTUALLY START MY VEHICLE, AND SOME MORNINGS IT WILL TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY. IT IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE I HAVE A 2014 VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AS FAR AS IT STARTING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON NEWER HONDAS FOR THIS EXACT REASON, THE STARTER. AS ALWAYS, MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO START IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RECHARGED MORE THAN ONCE TO START. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS MOISTURE AND CORROSION BUILDING UP NEAR THE BATTERY CAPS. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (PLANET HONDA, 2285 ROUTE 22 WEST, UNION, NJ 07083, (908) 964-1600) STATED THAT THEY PROVIDED THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL AND THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
TAKATA RECALL. I HAD A FENDER BENDER AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT SOMEONE FROM THE BACK. I WAS MOVING.
BOTH OF MY BACK TIRES GOT CUPPING ON THE INSIDE. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE OR LACK OF ROTATION. I HAVE CHECKED A COUPLE OF CARS FROM MY NEIGHBORS AND THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THEIR TIRES ARE DAMAGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE STRUTS ARE THE PROBLEM.
I NOTICED THAT BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND 4 DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME OUT AT THE SAME TIME(ABS, BRAKE, VSA, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), I WENT TO BRAMAN HONDA DEALER LOCATED AT 7000 CORAL WAY MIAMI, FL.33155 ON 11/20/17, THEY CHANGED VSA MODULATOR AND THEY CHARGED ME $1263.09. SINCE THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SAFETY AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 29,000MILES, I DECIDED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA BUT THEY DID NOT HELP ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I REALLY WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND CALL FOR SAFETY RECALL ASAP SINCE I COULD BE DEAD. I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER HONDAS FROM SAME YEAR ARE REPORTING SAME COMPLAINT. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

THIS IS 3RD COMPLAINT! SEE PRIOR COMPLAINTS - 11003743 AND 11035177. AS NOTED BEFORE, MILEAGE (WHEN PROBLEM STARTED) IN 2ND COMPLAINT MORE ACCURATE. ORIGINAL STARTER REPLACED AT JUST UNDER 60K MILES. MILEAGE NOW AT 63730. CAR FAILED TO START NO MATTER WHAT!!! ON 11/22/17, TRIED JUMP STARTING, P OR N, PUT CAR IN R AND ROLLED BACK A FOOT, THEN P OR N - NOTHING. PUSHED BUTTON - NO NOISE... NO CLICKING, GRINDING... TRIED FOR OVER 30 MINUTES... BATTERY GOOD, REMOTE GOOD, CONNECTIONS GOOD, DASH LIGHTS ALL APPEAR NORMAL. TOWED TO MECHANIC - REPLACED STARTER AGAIN. HE STARTED IT 20+ TIMES - SEEMED OK, MOVED IT TO HIS PARKING AREA. ON 11/25 I PICKED IT UP - WENT TO START IT - GOT GRINDING NOISE - HEARD BY MECHANIC. STARTED 3RD TIME. HAS DONE THIS - EITHER GRINDING OR SPINNING NOISE 3 TIMES ALREADY TODAY(11/25) - EVEN AFTER I GOT HOME, WHILE TRYING 'DEAD REMOTE' KEY STARTING PROCEDURE... WOULD MAKE NOISES, THEN START 2ND OR 3RD TIME. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS! PLEASE PUSH THE INVESTIGATION! HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND COME UP WITH A FIX. I THINK IF ONE EXAMINES THE CHANGES THEY HAVE MADE TO THIS VEHICLE AFTER 2015, ONE CAN SEE THAT THEY KNEW OF A PROBLEM AND TOOK STEPS TO FIX IT. JUST HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF US WHO ARE 'STUCK'. RESALE VALUE WILL PLUMMET ON THESE CARS! CALL ME!! TAKE THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE - ANYTHING!! NOTE - REPLACEMENT STARTER IS A BENDIX AFTERMARKET WITH LIFETIME WARRANTY - THIS IS NOT A STARTER PROBLEM - IT IS A DESIGN FLAW CAUSING STARTER PROBLEMS AND/OR CAUSING NO/LOW/IMPROPER VOLTAGE OR CURRENT TO BE APPLIED TO THE STARTER.
WHEN WE PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON TO CRANK THE ENGINE, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OCCURS (AS WHEN YOU TRY TO START AN ENGINE THAT IS ALREADY RUNNING). BEGAN AROUND 23,000 MILES, AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS MADE AWARE OF PROBLEM TWICE BEFORE 36,000 MI. WARRANTY EXPIRED. HONDA SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU START VEHICLE...WITH 4 OR 5 ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY START CAR. GRINDING AT EVERY ATTEMPT. NOW AT 48,000 MILES , WE'RE TOLD THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT...AROUND $900. WE NOTICED THAT THERE IS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON LINE WITH SAME PROBLEM. PLUS MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO CONFIRM IT. WE ALSO HAVE READ REPORTS THAT HONDA STARTERS FOR THESE MODEL YEARS WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY/IMPROPERLY, WITH HONDA AWARE OF IT. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ANYWHERE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AND NOT MOVING. WOKE TO FIND ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF VEHICLE IN FLAMES.
PAINT PEELING AND CRACKING
THE BATTERY WAS MESSED UP AND I WASNT EVEN AWARE OF THE RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT BATTERY. I JUST READ ABOUT THE RECALL
MY 2014 ACCORD EX SEDAN IS ON RECALL NOTICE AND I AM HAVING A FINAL REPAIR ON THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENOR NEXT WEEK. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I AM EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY TRYING TO START MY CAR. WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES THE CARE DOES NOT START. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE NOV. 2013 AND HAVE ONLY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ALL SYMBOLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT UP AND QUICKLY GO OFF AND I GET A NOTICE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "POWER IS ON": WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN 1-3 TIMES, THE CAR STARTS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH STALLING OR CUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. MY BATTERY IS ONLY 2 YR. OLD. AND IT WAS JUST CHECKED LAST MONTH AND THE CHARGE WAS OK. CLEARLY THERE IS A SHORT AFFECTING IGNITION OF THE IGNITION OF THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED HAS SO FAR ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I ONLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND IS QUITE DISTURBING; IT CAN BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS ISSUED HONDA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAMPAIGNS F/ RECALL NOTICES FOR OTHER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT YET FOR MY 2014 SEDAN. IT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. FROM REVIEWING THE NHTSA COMPLAINT DATABASE IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NHTSA AND HONDA AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS COMPLAINT BE EXPEDITIOUSLY INVESTIGATED AND THE PROBLEM FOR MY CAR AND IS RECOGNIZED AS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE HONDA PRODUCTS FOR MANY YEARS AND HONDA FIGURE OUT A PERMANENT SOLUTION. I AM REQUESTING THAT HONDA COVERS THE COST OF PARTS/LABOR TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I AM PAST THE REGULAR WARRANTY PERIOD (EXCEPT I AM STILL WITHIN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ) THIS WEEK (NOVEMBER 13 TO 11/17) PROBLEM OCCURRED 4 TIMES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CHIMING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED BUBBLES ON THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH EVENTUALLY CRACKED, AND THE EXTERIOR PAINT WAS BUBBLING. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUSPENSION AND ENGINE MADE ABNORMAL CRACKING AND HISSING NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RICK CASE HONDA (157000 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SQUEAKING NOISE WAS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ALL THE OTHER ISSUES HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA RECALL 17V-418 IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IT'S CURRENTLY NOVEMBER AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED.
SO, YESTERDAY I FOUND MYSELF FACED WITH A DEAD BATTERY AFTER PARKING IN A PARKING LOT AND GOING INTO A STORE FOR 10 MINUTES, AND CALLED AAA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THEY DISPATCHED ROY'S TOWING WHO ARRIVED WITHING ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF THE INITIAL CALL. IAN, THE SERVICE TECH, CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND IT ONLY HAD 18 COLD CRANKING AMPS, (IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 500) I WAS TAKEN ABACK, AS THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND VERY LOW MILEAGE. HE WENT ONE STEP FURTHER AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND IT'S CHARGING CAPACITY, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE JUST FINE. THE CAR IS JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 27,414 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY WAS IN TO HAVE A BATTERY SENSOR REPLACED DUE TO A POSSIBLE SHORT, BUT THE DEALER JUST SPREAD SOME SEALER ON IT. COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM? WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THE ALTERNATOR, THIS AT 16, 212 MILES.. NOW THAT WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY,THE BATTERY, INSTALLATION, ETC. COST $123.00 TOTAL. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE WITH STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND FAILING BATTERIES AT LOW MILEAGE FOR THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD. A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM?
I WANT THIS PIECE OF💩 FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN, I WILL ALSO PASS THE WORD HONDA IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU BETTER REPLY VERY QUICKLY, OR IT WON'T BE PRETTY, BUNCH OF MORONS!
TAKATA RECALL
HONDA STARTER REPLACED UNDER 36K MILES BUT OUT OF WARRANTY BY TIMEFRAME. HONDA REFUSES T REIMBURSE FOR THE REPLACEMENT STARTER EVENTHOUGH THEY WERE NOTIFIED BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHED 36K MILES. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD V6 HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED WHERE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED (HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/2013-2015-HONDA-ACCORD-CROSSTOUR-STARTER-ISSUE-1420684480836/ ) THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THIS SERVICE BULLETIN BUT HONDA WILL NOT REPAIR DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THE CONSUMER THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND LEAVE US TO FIGHT TO TRY TO GET THEM TO DO WHATS RIGHT. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND WENT OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HONDA WORLD IN WEST MINSTER, CA, 714- 890-8900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000.
THE AIR BAG EXPLODED ON THE COLLISION ON A STREET AND CAUSED SEVERE BURNS ON HER HANDS. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES BELOW. THIS IS CAUSING HER IMMENSE PAIN AND TRAUMA AND SHE IS HAVING TROUBLE PERFORMING DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES. THE INJURIES SHE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG WERE MORE THAN THE ACTUAL COLLISION. THIS IS CAUSING HER TO GO IN DEPRESSION AND SHE IS SCARED OF THE AIRBAG, MORE THAN ANYTHING NOW. THE CAR IS BEYOND REPAIR AND IS BEING SALVAGED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
UPDATE TO PRIOR - VEHICLE STARTER WAS REPLACED WITH NEW AFTERMARKET UNIT, PROBLEM RESUMED AFTER A FEW WEEKS. PUSHING START BUTTON EXHIBITING NUMEROUSLY REPORTED PROBLEMS AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS REQUIRED TO GET IT TO START. HAD THE BATTERY SENSOR RECALL ITEM HONDA # KHO (THE INSPECTION AND RE-SEALING) DONE ON 10/18/17 - THAT NIGHT IT HAD THE SAME STARTING ISSUE... NO LINK WITH THE SENSOR (AT LEAST THE 'BAND-AID' FIX). I THEN CHECKED AND TIGHTENED THE NUTS AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BATTERY GROUND-TO-CHASSIS CABLE - WE'LL SEE IF THAT HELPS - THERE WAS NO SIGN OF CORROSION, BUT THE NUT DID TURN ABOUT 1/2 TURN AT THE CHASSIS SIDE... NOW HAVE 62600 MILES ON VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE ABOUT 39K... WE REALLY NEED A GOOD SOLID FIX - AND IF IT REALLY IS A STARTER PLACEMENT ISSUE, NEED A SOLUTION! AND HONDA NEEDS TO REIMBURSE EVERYONE FOR COSTS TO DATE!
I GOT A LETTER IN AUG 2017 ABOUT A "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" AND SINCE THEN THE COGGIN HONDA DEALERSHIP OF ORLANDO HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT THE RUN AROUND. THEY ANSWER MY CALLS AND SAY SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME, BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENS TRIED TO REACH THE MANAGER TWICE BUT HE COULD NOT BE REACH THE SALESPERSON NO LONGER THERE. IF MY HONDA HAS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL I AM BEING LED TO BELIEVE THIS DEALERSHIP COULD CARE LESS. WE BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS A TRUSTED NAME AND IMAGINE WE WILL NOT GO VERY FAR OR USE IT MUCH UNTIL THE SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS PROBLEM OR LEAST GUIDE US IN WHAT TO DO NEXT.
I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING WENT STIFF. THE STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING. I MOVED INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE, EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND MADE IT HOME. I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A FAULT CODE FOR THE STEERING. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY ERASED THE FAULT CODE, REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND SAID IT MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IF NOT THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) RACK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE ESTIMATED COST OF $2140. THE ACCORD HAD 60,900 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED; 235 MILES LATER, I LOST POWER STEERING AGAIN AND HAD THE REPAIR DONE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDEPENDENTLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT ARM AND NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.
WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START CAR NOTHING HAPPENS ( NO WARNING LIGHTS NOTHING BLANK) THEN AFTER 2 OR 3 ATTEMPTS CAR STARTS
I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SERVICE WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THEM SINCE 2015. MY CAR TIRES GOT BURSTED THIS YEAR(2017) AND I WENT WITH MY INSURANCE THROUGH HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER TO FIX THE SAME. DURING JAN 2017, THE HONDA CHECKED ALL MY TIRES AS PER MY INSURANCE FIXES ONLY 2 TIRES AND NEVER REPORTED ANY ISSUES WITH MY OTHER 2 TIRES. EVEN THE SERVICE STATION, WHERE I HAD BEEN DOING MY SERVICE SINCE 2015, DID NOT SUGGEST OR DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, PROACTIVELY, I DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT @ 26000 MILES, WHEN HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER REPLACED MY TIRES. AFTER THAT I HAVE DONE TIRE ROTATIONS, ROUTINE CHECK WITH OIL FILLS WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SERVICE STATION. SINCE MY SERVICE, IN THE PAST ONE MONTH, I HAD MY TPMS LIGHT ON FOR 3 TIMES, EVERY TIME I CALLED HONDA, THEY ASKED ME TO RESET IT MYSELF IN THE CAR, WHICH I DID. BUT, I FELT BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES AROUND 36 K MILES, I CALLED IN HONDA FOR APPOINTMENT SEP 2017. TODAY, WHEN I DROPPED MY CAR, HONDA SERVICE GUYS CALLED ME AND SAID, I OWN RESPONSIBILITY IN CHANGING MY TIRES WHICH HAS WEAR AND TEAR COVER TILL 60 K MILES AND I SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE BRAKES AT REAR END, FLUIDS, ETC ETC.. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT MY WARRANTY ON TIRES AND BRAKES.. THEY WERE RELUCTANT AND SAID ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAD GIVEN CAR FOR SERVICE ONLY A MONTH BACK, WHERE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK EVERYTHING AND I BELIEVE, THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING, SINCE THEY ARE REPORTING ME NOW TO DRIVE AS UNSAFE AND NOT AT THE TIME OF TIRE ROTATION OR CHECKS. THIS IS VERY BAD AND DINT EXPECT FROM HONDA
2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM TESTING ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM HAS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE DISTANCE WARNING SETTINGS. THE LONG,SHORT, AND NORMAL DISTANCE WARNINGS ARE EQUAL TO 2 CAR LENGTHS. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED FOR NHTSA TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 09/27/2017*JS
THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH IMPROPERLY TORQUED CONNECTING ROD BOLTS,WICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER OR LEAK OIL. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL,INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.IF THE ENGINE LEAKS OIL IN THE PROXIMITY OF HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST COMPONENTS,THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF A FIRE. HONDAS NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS JP2.I SEE SOME OIL BETWEEN BLOCK CYLINDER AND HEAD OF MY CAR.
THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I'D BRING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO CHECK MY TIRES, RE-INFLATE MY TIRES AND RESET THE LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. I'M TIRED OF TAKING MY CAR EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, AND HAVING TO CHECK MY TIRES SEEMINGLY ALL THE TIME.
TAKATA RECALL
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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,789.
THE BATTERY DIES INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO REASON. I HAD THEM TEMPORARY FIX DONE IN JULY OF 2017. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY UNTIL THIS WEEK. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY DIE TWICE THIS WEEK. THE CAR STARTS FINE SOME DAYS AND OTHERS IT WON'T. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY STAYING CHARGED.
ONE MORNING WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO DAYCARE I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE (THE LINE FROM THE GAS TANK TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR). UPON RECEIVING THE REPLACEMENT PART THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE NEW FUEL LINE HAS AN ADDITIONAL INSULATOR THAT PREVENTS THIS EXACT ISSUE. I'VE SEEN THIS REPORTED ELSEWHERE AS "POSSIBLE RODENT DAMAGE" BUT THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE HONDA IS AWARE OF BUT NOT ADDRESSING VIA A RECALL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. PRIOR TO THE CONTACT RECEIVING NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), THE CHARGE SYSTEM WARNING ALERT FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
WENT TO START CAR. WOULD NOT START ON FIRST TRY. TRIED AGAIN AND PUT CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF GARAGE. PUT CAR IN PARK AND NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. FCW FAILED, LDW, AIR BAG, CHECK ENGINE, POWER STEERING ABS & TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON! TURNED CAR OFF & STARTED CALLING TO MAKE APPT WITH DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER WE BOUGHT CAR FROM HAD A RESPONSE OF "NEXT AVAILABLE APPT IS TUESDAY". WHEN I TRIED TO TELL HER WHAT WAS WRONG SHE REPEATED "NEXT AVAILABLE APPT IS TUESDAY" CLICK. OKAY, SINCE I PAID FOR A 7 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY I CALLED A DIFFERENT DEALER. MILLENNIUM HONDA HAD AN APPT FOR 1:00PM. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT IN. WAITED FOR OVER 4 HOURS BEFORE ASKING ABOUT MY CAR. "OH, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YOUR CAR YET. BUT IT SHOULD BE GOING ON THE LIFT PRETTY SOON." IT WAS AFTER 5:00PM WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET TO MY CAR ON THURSDAY. I ASKED FOR A LOANER CAR & DECIDED THAT IT WAS BETTER THAT IT BE SEEN FIRST THING NEXT MORNING. FRIDAY MORNING COMES & GOES & I DON'T HEAR FROM THEM SO I DRIVE OVER THERE. THEY HADN'T EVEN PUT MY CAR ON THE LIFT TO CHECK IT YET! WHEN ASKED WHY I WAS TOLD I WAS NEXT. OKAY, THEY PUT MY CAR ON THE LIFT & CHECK IT OUT; TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE; BRING IT BACK. SERVICE MANAGER "RUSS" COMES OVER TO ME AND SAYS THAT THE CAR ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE HARNESS SYSTEM. HE TELLS ME THAT IT'S DUE TO CORROSION. I ASK HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FIX? HE THEN TELLS ME THAT THE ENGINE HARNESS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? HE THEN SAYS THAT IT WOULD COST $2800 TO FIX & THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART! I FEEL AS THOUGH MY CAR IS BEING HELD FOR RANSOM. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 12K MILES & IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD. MY CAR IS INVOLVED IN A BATTERY SENSOR RECALL. COULD THAT BE THE PROBLEM OR IS IT COMMON PRACTICE TO PRICE GOUGE?
VERY ROUGH RIDE SPECIALLY IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IT'S BEEN THE SAME SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AT END OF 2014. THE CAR'S SUSPENSION DOES NOT KEEP THE CAR PLANTED AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND ALMOST BOUNCES OFF THE ROAD WITH A MEDIUM SIZE BUMP WHILE EITHER A GRAND MARQUIS OR MUSTANG CAN MANAGE THE SAME BUMP (THE SAME TOLL ROAD 241 HAS THE SAME BUMP ACROSS THE TWO LANES). I WENT OVER THAT BUMP RECENTLY ON A TRIP WITH THE HONDA, REALLY ACCENTUATING THE PROBLEM AND REMINDING ME HOW THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS "FAMILY" SEDAN RIDES ROUGHER THAN MY 2006 MUSTANG GT, ALL DUE TO WHAT I THINK IS THE WRONG SHOCK/STRUT SPEC, WHICH HONDA SHOULD HAVE SORTED OUT BEFORE MASS PRODUCTION.
DRIVER'S (AND PASSENGER) SEAT IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND DANGEROUS. HEAD RESTRAINT FORCES HEAD FORWARD SO THAT CHIN IS TOWARD CHEST. DRIVING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME CAUSES BACK, NECK, LEG PAIN.
MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I CAME OUT IN THE MORNING AFTER A THUNDERSTORM AND THE SUNROOF AND WINDOWS WERE HALF WAY DOWN, CAR IS SOAKED. IT'S A 2014 HONDA ACCORD AND I TOLD THE DEALER MECHANIC, THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT I MUST HAVE HIT THE LOCK BUTTON ON MY CAR KEYPAD TWICE, BUT I LOCK THE CAR FROM THE HANDLE AND LEAVE MY KEYS ON A KEY RING ON THE WALL NOT IN MY PURSE. HE ALSO TOLD ME WATER WOULDN'T HURT THE LEATHER SEATS. THEY DIDN'T EVEN HELP ME DRY MY CAR OUT.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS DONE THIS AND THEIRS NO WAY TO FIX IT, I WILL BE TRADING IT IN ON SOMETHING THAT'S NOT HONDA BEFORE WINTER COMES AND I END UP WITH SNOW IN MY CAR. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING A HONDA, DON'T ! I THOUGHT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO ME, THAT IT WAS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN BUT IT DID HAPPEN, TWICE!
DROVE THE CAR WITHOUT A KEY IT. WE STARTED THE CAR WITH THE KEYLESS START, AND MY SON HAD TO GO INSIDE TO GET SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE BUT FORGOT TO GRAB THE KEYS TO LEAVE (SOMEONE ELSE LOCKED THE HOUSE DOOR) THE CAR WAS ON STILL RUNNING AND WE DROVE OFF. NOW WE ARE STRANDED! I ONLY REALIZED HE DIDN'T GRAB THE KEY WHEN I TRIED LOOKING FOR THEM AFTER WE STOPPED. HONDA SAYS THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THAT MAKES THIS PREVENTABLE. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE OFF FROM YOUR KEYS! WHAT IF I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA OF THE MOUNTAINS WITH NO CELL SIGNAL?! THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.
CAR HAS STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I WAS COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT TRAVELING ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR CUT OFF.
STARTER FAILING AFTER ONLY 33,000 MILES, STATIONARY, IN A PARKING LOT. UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD REPAIR AND TOW BILL ON THIS COMPUTER BUT DO HAVE THOSE AVAILABLE.
BODY: THE TENSION BAR DOES NOT OPEN THE CAR TRUNK LID ALL THE WAY WHICH MORE OFTEN DROPS DOWN AND HIT THE PERSON'S HEAD OR FACE WHO IS PUTTING STUFFS IN THE TRUNK ASSUMING IT IS FULLY OPEN ALL THE WAY. I DID GOT HIT TWICE BY THE CORNER AND EDGE OF THE TRUNK LID ON THE FOREHEAD AND LEFT TEMPLE. THE LATTER CAUSED BRUISE AND PAIN THAT TOOK ME A WEEK TO RECOVER. SHOULD CHANGE WEAK TENSION BAR TO STRONG GAS TUBE OPERATION. ENGINE: THE CAR VIBRATES AND RATTLES UPON PUTTING ON REVERSE GEAR EVEN AFTER AT LEAST A MINUTE WARMUP IN THE MORNING. THE DEALER SAID IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR? THIS IS VERY EMBARRASSING FOR A NEWER CAR. I NEVER SEE THIS IN A TOYOTA CARS THAT I OWNED: SIENNA, AVALON... SEATS: DRIVER SEAT IS NOT WELL DESIGNED AND CAUSING AWKWARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE AND FATIGUE POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS INSUFFICIENCY OF SUPPORT FOR LUMBAR ARE ( THE CURRENT ONE IS TOO SOFT AND SITTING BACK SO THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO SUPPORT AT ALL). AGAIN TOYOTA CARS SEEM NOT HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. ALSO, THE DRIVER WINDOW IS NOT TALL ENOUGH THAT EVEN A 5'6" PERSON CAN BANG HIS HEAD TO THE TOP OF THE WINDOW WHEN GETTING UP AND OUT OF THE DRIVE SEAT. IT SHOULD BE 2" TALLER TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD PUT CUSHION TO THE TOP EDGE AND SAFETY GRIP HANDLE AT THE MINIMUM. DRIVING CONDITION: THE CAR SEEMS TO WANDER WHEN RUNNING ON FREEWAY AT NORMAL SPEED.
STARTER OR ENGINE START BUTTON PROBLEM, AT 49000 MILES.
WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT MAKING IT HARD TO MOVE THE WHEEL AND VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN A CORNER. THE EPS LIGHT ON DASHBOARD LIT UP. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF CAR, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WORKED. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY FINALLY GOT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. FIRST REMOVED A REMOTE STARTER, THOUGHT THAT WOULD FIX IT. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON HIGHWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THE NEXT THING IS TO REPLACE POWER STEERING COLUMN FOR $2200. THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS AND I SEE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALSO REPORTED THIS PROBLEM
VEHICLE WON'T START ON RANDOM OCCASIONS.I DRIVE THE VEHICLE DAILY, BUT EVERY SO OFTEN I HAVE TO JUMPSTART IT. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AT THE SERVICE STATION NEAR MY HOME AND ALSO AT THE HONDA DEALER IN MY CITY. I PURCHASED A SMALL JUMP PACK TO ENSURE I'M NEVER STRANDED. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, AFTER ONLY BEING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AN HOUR OR 2 AND AFTER I RETURNED FORM A BRIEF STAY OUT OF TOWN.
MY CAR HAS BEEN TO HONDA TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS JUNE 20TH AT 5PM AT WHOLE FOODS IN PHOENIX. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER THEN DIE. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO HONDA (IT STARTED AND DROVE). I PICKED IT UP AT 5PM, THEY STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. AS I'M SITTING IN THE CAR AT HONDA THE CAR DIED AND WOULDN'T START. THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE STARTER AND REPLACED IT AND I PICKED UP THE CAR FRIDAY JUNE 23RD. THE CAR WAS FINE UNTIL SUNDAY AROUND 3PM AT SAFEWAY ON PHOENIX WHERE THE CAR WOULD START AND THEN DIE. I TOOK AN UBER HOME AND SCHEDULED A TOW. WHEN I GOT BACK TO SAFEWAY THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE IT HOME. MONDAY MORNING JUNE 26 I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FUEL PUMP TO BE BAD AFTER TWO DAYS. I TOWED IT BACK TO HONDA ON JUNE 28TH TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND I DID NOT GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL JULY 8TH. ON MY WAY TO WORK TUESDAY JULY 11TH THE CAR DIED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY INTERCHANGE BETWEEN I10W AND I17N AND WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE (THERE'S BARELY A SHOULDER) AND WAIT FOR A TOW AS THE CAR WOULD NO START. I WAS TOWED TO SHOWCASE HONDA WHERE THE CAR IS NOW. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS MORE THAN JUST AN INCONVENIENCE IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR AND I HAVE ALMOST NO CONFIDENCE THEY ARE CAPABLE OF FIGURING OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR (THAT'S UNDER WARRANTY) AND I HONESTLY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THAT CAR ANY LONGER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WAS UNABLE TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LINDSEY HONDA (5959 SCARBOROUGH BOULEVARD COLUMBUS, OHIO 43232 PHONE: 614-864-0520) WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.
I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED USED FROM HONDA. 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE, MY SON PULLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP (TO HAVE COSMETIC WORK DONE) AND THE CARS ENGINE "LOCKED UP".( THE CAR SALESMAN WAS PRESENT AT THIS TIME) THE CAR JUST "DIED". THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD RECHARGE THE BATTERY, AS THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I ASKED FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, SO IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, WE WOULD KNOW 100%, THAT IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. LESS THEN 3 WEEKS LATER, 6 DAYS BEFORE OWNING THE CAR FOR A FULL MONTH, MY SON IS DRIVING THE CAR, AND WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 WAY INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER AND STOPS DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING FORWARD INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE SECOND, DRIVING FORWARD WITH A SLIGHT TURN. AFTER ARGUING WITH THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS IN FACT A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM, AND I NOR MY SON FELT SAFE IN THE VEHICLE, DID THEY AGREE TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK, IF I WAS WILLING TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM.
INITIAL PROBLEM WITH PUSH BUTTON START - WOULD NOT START ON FIRST PUSH. STARTED AT ABOUT 55K MILEAGE. PROBLEM HAS WORSENED - MAY START ON FIRST PUSH, BUT SOMETIMES TAKES MANY PUSHES IN COMBINATION WITH BRAKE RELEASE AND DEPRESSING OR JUST PUSHING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE - THEN BRAKING AND PUSHING. VERY INTERMITTENT IN TERMS OF HOW MANY PUSHES - SOMETIMES JUST A COUPLE, SOMETIME 10 OR MORE! NOW AT JUST UNDER 60K MILEAGE, CAR CANNOT BE TRUSTED. ERROR CODES COME UP AS 85-01 VSA SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND 61-11 VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (IC) LOW VOLTAGE AND B-1240 - A PROBLEM IN THE MODE CONTROL LINKAGE DOOR OR MOTOR. THESE ERROR CODES DO NOT SEEM RELATED TO THE PUSH BUTTON START ISSUE, BUT IS ANOTHER PROBLEM TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX. THE PUSH BUTTON PROBLEM HAPPENS TO MANY PEOPLE AND HONDA IS AWARE OF IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED HIS INSIDE CONTACT AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY KEEP STARTERS ON HAND FOR THIS. THEY WILL NOT HANDLE AS A WARRANTY OR 'RECALL' TYPE PROBLEM AND ONE HAS TO PAY A LOT FOR THE FIX - STARTER REPLACEMENT CAN BE CLOSE TO $1K!! ANOTHER HONDA CONTACT KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE - IT IS BECAUSE THE STARTER ON THE ACCORD, ESPECIALLY THE 2.4L ENGINE, IS MOUNTED BELOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, HEATS UP SIGNIFICANTLY AND BEGINS TO FAIL - DEPENDS MORE ON THE # OF STARTS THAN MILEAGE, APPARENTLY. MY ACCORD IS STARTED MANY TIMES PER DAY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL EVENT, I BELIEVE, BUT I MUST GET MINE FIXED NOW!!! NOT GOOD! ALSO A PROBLEM FROM DAY 1, IS THE FORWARD WARNING CAMERA GETS HOT, HERE IN SOUTHERN CAL, AND WILL NOT WORK UNTIL THE AC SYSTEM COOLS IT DOWN. VERY UNSAFE AND WORTHY OF FURTHER REVIEW AS WELL. *JS
THE AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT COOL LIKE IT SHOULD. WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUR HONDA ODYSSEY.
VEHICLE DOES NOT START WHEN PUSH TO START. IT CLICK COUPLE TIME BUT DID NOT START. IT HAPPENING MORE OFTEN THAN LAST YEAR AND GOT STRANGE LAST NIGHT AGAIN.
I WAS ON MY WAY TO LA DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX, SOUTHBOUND ON HWY 5. AFTER ABOUT 3 HOURS OF DRIVING, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING ABOUT 72 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE LEFT. I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN WITH THE BRAKE AND FOUGHT WITH THE CAR TRYING TO GET IT TO GO STRAIGHT HOWEVER THE CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO STOP THE CAR FROM GOING TO THE LEFT HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT COOPERATE AND WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD, BOTH LANES. IT CONTINUED TO SWERVE LEFT INTO THE RIGHT LANE CAUSING IT TO SPIN BACKWARDS OFF THE ROAD AND INTO THE DIRT. I STILL WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR AS IT CONTINUED THEN ROLLED OVER. I WAS UPSIDE DOWN AND TRAPPED IN MY CAR. MY FEET WERE UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY BODY WAS LENGTHWISE ACROSS THE PASSENGER SEAT....MY SEAT BELT STILL ON. I UNBUCKLED AND TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR WHICH I COULD NOT OPEN. MY CELL PHONE WAS ON A CHARGER AND WAS STILL WITHIN REACH SO I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 (9:35AM) AND TOLD DISPATCH I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND ANOTHER MOTORIST HAD ALREADY CALLED IT IN. THE CHP OFFICER WAS ABLE TO PULL THE DOOR OPEN. I HAD A TOWEL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH WAS NOW UNDER ME SO I HANDED IT TO HIM TO LAY OVER THE GLASS, I WAS THEN ABLE TO CRAWL OUT OF MY CAR. MY HANDS WERE BLEEDING ESPECIALLY ONE SPOT ON MY LEFT HAND THAT WOULDN'T STOP SO THE OFFICER GOT OUT HIS EMERGENCY BAG AND HANDED ME GAUZE TO PUT ON MY HAND. EVENTUALLY THE BLEEDING STOPPED. THE CHP SAID HE HAS SEEN ACCIDENTS LIKE MINE AND THE OUTCOME WAS NOT GOOD. 2014 HONDA ACCORDS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES. COMPLAINTS STATE 'CAR PULLING TO THE LEFT'. (CARPROBLEMZOO.COM) MEDICAL ISSUES: WHIPLASH, SOFT TISSUE INJURY TO NECK AND BACK, CUTS TO HANDS AND LEFT ARM, BRUISES TO LEFT ARM, THIGH AND KNEE. WAS UNABLE TO UPLOAD PICTURES.
LOST ALL POWER STEERING ON HIGHWAY. STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY VERY HARD TO TURN.
WHILE DRIVING THE EPS INDICATOR CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING BECAME INOPERABLE. TOOK THE 2014 ACCORD TO THE HONDA WORLD DEALERSHIP WHERE A ERROR CODE 53-01 WAS RECORDED. HONDA WORLD DEALERSHIP IN LOUISVILLE KY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. RELEARNED THE TORQUE SENSOR POSITION. WORKED OK FROM 6-2-2017 TO 6-11-2017. WHILE DRIVING THE EPS INDICATOR CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING BECAME INOPERABLE AGAIN ON 6-11-2017. WILL TAKE BACK INTO THE HONDA WORLD DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED. HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO CORRECT A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE ACCORD.
I HAVE REPORTED THE LOSS OF MOTOR OIL TO THE DEALER TWICE, IN APRIL, AND TODAY JUNE 10. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HONDAS WILL LOSE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES.. I ASKED LOSE?? HE SAID YES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I GO IN TO GET SERVICE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER DRIVING MORE THAN 15 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR, ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OPEN ROAD HONDA IN EDISON, NJ, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.
AS I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO THE PARKING SPOT WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE PEDAL I SLOWED DOWN TO 2-3 MPH WITH FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE. AT ABOUT 1-2 FEET FROM THE CONCRETE RETAINING WALL LIMITING THE PARKING SPOT I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE FOR THE FINAL STOP. CAR ACCELERATED WILDLY AND HIT THE CONCRETE RETAINING WALL AHEAD. MY FOOT HAD NEVER LEFT THE BRAKE. AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION 2-3 MPH, ON A PARKING LOT. ACCELERATION HAPPENED WHEN I WAS BREAKING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS REMAINED LOOSE ONCE PULLED AND FAILED TO TIGHTEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,500.
THE AC CONDENSER GOT A HOLE IN IT FROM SOMETHING ON THE ROAD, BEEN READING AROUND AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, TO ME IT IS NOT OKAY THAT THE CONDENSER IS SO EASILY DAMAGED TO THE POINT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT IT
OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAD SOME ROAD DEBRIS PUNCTURE A HOLE IN THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET THERE IS A DESIGN FLOW THAT HONDA HAS KNOW ABOUT FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. WE SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPT OF LIA HONDA , PO BOX 1110, ENFIELD CT 06083 AND THEY SAID THAT THE CONDENSER WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE PURCHASED FOR $1340 WHEN BE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER REPLACEMENT AND CALL IT AN ACT OF GOD WHEN DEBRIS FLIES UP AND PUT A HOLE IN THE AC CONDENSER. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE PART FOR $476 DOLLARS. I PREFER MY MECHANIC BECAUSE I KNOW AND TRUST HIM, AND HE DOES THE WORK FOR HALF AS MUCH. HONDA DEALERS ARE SCAMMING THEIR CUSTOMERS OUT OF $800-$1000 TO REPLACE PART THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN FLAW. I AM TIRED OF BEING TAKEN OF ADVANTAGE OF BY BIG COMPANIES AND UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT FORCES THEM TO PAY UP, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO STICK IT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I GUESS THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS SWITCH BACK TO TOYOTA, AND LEAST THE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE TO DEAL WITH THEIR RUST ISSUES. HOPEFULLY, THE MORE COMPLAINTS YOU GET, THE SOONER HONDA WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN STARTING THE CAR SOMETIMES YOU TURN THE KEY AND IT WILL NOT START SO FAR IT HAS STARTED BUT ONE TIME IT WAS SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD START CONCERN THAT THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE THAT WILL LEAVE ME OR A FAMILY MEMBER STRANDED-- THE CAR IS SO NEW I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE A PROBLEM THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH-- OF COURSE THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT
2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT EXPERIENCING PROGRESSIVE INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS WITH 56,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. CAR HAS A NEW BATTERY LESS THAN 4 MONTHS OLD. CLICKING SOUND CAN BE HEARD UNDER ENGINE BUT STARTER WILL NOT TURN. AFTER 3 TO 15 ATTEMPTS STARTER WILL ENGAGE AND CAR STARTS. PROBLEM OCCURS AT ANY TIME, WITH HOT OR COLD ENGINE. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. DEALERS ARE RECOMMENDING STARTER REPLACEMENT. DEALER REPAIR IS BETWEEN $600 TO $900.
I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING CAR FOR APPROX. 1 1/2 YRS AS EVERYBODY WHO HAS FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THIS STARTER ISSUE. I AM A STRUGGLING AMERICAN JUST LIKE MANY, GOT LET GO FROM 19 YRS OF SERVICE AND FINALLY GOT A PART TIME JOB AT AN AFB, BAD TIMING, MY 1ST AT WORK AND THE STARTER ISSUE GOT TO THE POINT THAT NOW IT SIMPLY DOESN'T START, IT USED TO TAKE UP TO 20 TRIES, HAD A HARD TIME GETTING TOW TRUCK INTO BASE BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS PASSING SMOG TEST, SO DECIDED TO BUY A RELIABLE VEHICLE, HAD MANY OPTIONS TO BUY FROM BUT HONDA HAD A REPUTABLE LEGACY. NOW I STRESS OUT BECAUSE A 2 1/2 YR OLD CAR IS GIVING TONS OF HONDA OWNERS THE SAME STARTED PROBLEM. WE ARE BEING FORCED TO TAKE VEHICLES BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY $900 PLUS LABOR BECAUSE EY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT SELL STARTERS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, THERE IS NO AFTERMARKET PARTS. IT IS NOT FAIR NOR RIGHT THAT BECAUSE OF HONDAS DEFECTIVE PARTS FAIL AND WE ARE BEING MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR. WHEN PAYING FOR A $30,000+ VEHICLE PEOPLE EXPECT PEACE OF MIND AND NOT UNRELIABLE LEMONS. IT MAY NOT BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSU BUT THIS STARTER ISSUE SHOULD BE CATEGORIZED AS DEFECTIVE ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IS LEAVING HARDWORKING STRUGGLING AMERICANS STRANDED EVERYWHERE. IS IT A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTS RIGHT AROUND 36,000 MILES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT'S A MATTER OF THE STARTER UNITS GETTING TOO HOT OR BAD WIRING BUT BRAND NEW CARS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, THAT'S JUST VALIDATES THAT THIS ARE FAULTY ELECTRICAL STARTERS AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, THERE OUGHT TO BE A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL UNITS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE SUN ROOF INDEPENDENTLY SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE PUSH START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED, AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.
I STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. MY CAR HAS THE NEW PUSH BUTTON START AND I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING IT TO CRANK. WHILE STATIONARY IT WOULD TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 10 ATTEMPTS(SOMETIMES MORE) BEFORE IT WOULD CRANK. I HAVE NOT EVEN OWNED THIS CAR 3 YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW STARTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN PARKING LOTS, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AT GAS PUMPS AND AT HOME. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TURN YOUR CAR OFF AT GAS PUMPS BUT WITH THIS PROBLEM YOU ARE AFRAID TO TURN YOUR CAR OFF IN FEAR OF IT NOT STARTING AGAIN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE POWER LOCK FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. AS A RESULT, THE DOOR HAD TO BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR POWER ACTUATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE REOCCURRED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

JAN 25, 2017 - RIDGEWOOD NJ - ENGINE TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS MY HONDA ACCORD EXL (2014) HAS BEEN GIVING ME TROUBLE WHEN I TRY TO START IT UP. I PUT IN A NEW BATTERY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAD IT TESTED SEVERAL TIMES. AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN I TRY TO START MY VEHICLE IT ONLY TURNS ON THE CONSOLE AND NOT THE ENGINE, AFTER I TURN IT OFF TO TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO GET A BIT LOCKED AND IT ISN'T AS EASY TO PRESS DOWN ON IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THEN LUNGED FORWARD WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/17/17*LJ *CN
VIBRATING AND OUT OF BALANCE SOUND SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE. DEALERSHIP WOULD ALWAYS CLAIM THEY COULD NOT "RECREATE THE NOISE" EVEN THOUGH I SAT IN THE CAR WITH THE TECH AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A SOUND. THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS A FEW TIMES AND KICKED DIFFERENT IDEAS AROUND OF WHAT IT WAS UNTIL COMING TO THE IDEA IT WAS THE TIRES AND THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE. TIRES WERE CHANGED AND STILL HAS A VIBRATION. TIRE TECH AT DISCOUNT TIRES SHOWED ME A SLIGHTLY OFFLINE WHEEL THAT HAS BEEN THE ISSUE SINCE DAY 1. HONDA MUST USE DEFECTIVE PARTS ON THEIR CARS. ANYTHING TO TURN A PROFIT I'M SURE, AND AT SOMEONE ELSE'S EXPENSE AND SAFETY.
IN JULY 2016, DEALER REPLACED STARTER BASED ON SERVICE BULLETIN. HAD COMPLAINED FOR SOME TIME THAT OCCASIONALLY WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STARTER ENERGIZES BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE FLYWHEEL. I PROVIDED A VIDEO OF THE OCCURRENCE TO THE DEALER WHICH PROMPTED THE REPLACEMENT IN JULY. CAR WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO REOCCUR. RETURNED TO DEALER WHO EVALUATED AND BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. ON 12/6/16, TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START MY VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS. ALL YOU HEAR IS THE WHINING OF THE STARTER, I HAVE ON VIDEO. LET VEHICLE SIT A WHILE AND TRIED LATER WITH SUCCESS. BROUGHT VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY, SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO. THE TOOK VEHICLE IN AND DETERMINED EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THEY DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WITH THE STARTER BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT, OCCURRING ABOUT EVERY 3-4 DAYS. THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH WINTER IN FULL SWING, I WILL BE STRANDED OUT IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY STARTER. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE GOING ANYWHERE WITH MY VEHICLE.
WHEN BRAKING, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DECIDES TO SPONTANEOUSLY, VIOLENTLY, AND UNEXPECTEDLY TAKE CONTROL AND LOCK-UP THE BRAKES CAUSING THE PASSENGERS TO BE THROWN FORWARD AND THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A MANNER NOT EXPECTED BY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC (OR THE DRIVER). THIS PUTS THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS AT RISK OF REAR-END COLLISION. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE PERCEIVES A NEARBY OBJECT AS A HAZARD (IE VEHICLE AHEAD MIGHT SLOW TO TURN RIGHT,, VEHICLE IN NEXT LANE APPEARS TO BE TRAVELING AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED, WHEN CHANGING LANES TO PASS A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE IN THE LANE DRIVER IS DEPARTING). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I SEE AT LEASE FOUR SIMILAR CASES FILED ON THE NHTSA SITE (10892728, 10895657, 10521912, 10503138), ALSO IN 2013 AND LATER HONDA ACCORDS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE MOTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.
WE HAVE HAD OUR2014HONDAACCORDFOR JUST ONE YEAR. ALL OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD AND BACK BY THE TRUNK DOOR. THE TRUNK DOES NOT STAY OPEN ON EVEN A MODEST GRADE, BUT DOES NOT FALL DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, CLOSE DOWN SUDDENLY WITH A LIGHT WIND NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE TO LEAN INTO THE TRUNK BEFORE IT HITS THEM. INJURY TO DEATH COULD HAPPEN ANYTIMES FROM THE TRUNK LID LOCK. I HAVE OWNED 10 CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ONE WHERE THE TRUNK LID WILL NOT REMAIN UP.
THE 2014 ACCORD EX-L V6 HAS ISSUES DOWNSHIFTING WHILE COASTING AT 45MPH DOWN TO 25MPH IN CITY STREETS. AT 40MPH AND 30MPH, THE RPM GOES FROM 2K TO 1K QUICKLY AND ROUGHLY. ALSO, THE CAR HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AROUND 30MPH OR 40MPH.
TRUNK LID FALLS SUDDENLY EVEN ON SLIGHT GRADES AND SOMETIMES ON LEVEL AREAS. DEALER HAS CHECKED THIS AND SAYS THE TORSION BARS ARE WORKING ACCORDING TO SPECS. SOONER OR LATER THIS WILL CAUSE AN INJURY. WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN HIT ON HEAD BY THIS LID NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY.
HEAD RESTRAINT HOLDS HEAD DOWN IN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION CAUSING NECK PAIN. SEAT BACK AND LUMBAR SUPPORT ARE POOR CAUSING BACK PAIN. SEAT BASE IS EXTREMELY HARD AND CAUSES PAIN AND PRESSURE ON LEGS, BUTT AND BACK. LEGS GO NUMB CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. MORE THAN 30 MINUTES DRIVING CAUSES SEVER BACK, NECK AND LEG PAIN. *TR
GOING 65MPH ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY AT THE TOP OF THE DRISCOL BRIDGE WHEN IT FELT LIKE A 4X4 LANDED ON ,THE ROOF SLIDER WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME HAD THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED THE A FOOTBALL SIZE HOLE,
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATED CONSISTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.
TAKATA RECALL:MY CAR WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF ONLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I GOT BACK IN, TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. I WAS ON A CITY ST, SO I WALKED TO AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, GOT A JUMP, IT STARTED UP AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I CALLED HONDA, GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP START THE CAR, DROVE TO HONDA, LEFT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. HONDA CALLED ME STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, BUT THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS, CHARGED ME $160. I PICKED UP THE CAR, DROVE IT HOME, THEN 2 DAYS LATER, THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I GOT THE CAR JUMPED IN ORDER TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA. THIS TIME, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME THIS TIME THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A BATTERY. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR A BATTERY, SENT THE MANAGER AN EMAIL IN REFERENCE TO THE FINDINGS THAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINING, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND NOW I PAID FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR STILL CUT OFF. DID I REALLY NEED THE SENSORS OR WAS IT THE BATTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE? THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AT NO CHARGE. .
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM. AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM. DEALER UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM ON 2 (3 HR) VISITS. HONDA HQ REPORTS: WEIGHT TO TRIGGER SENSOR IS < 60LBS. WARNING LIGHT THAT AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT AIR BAG IS OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY. LIGHT MUST BE ON WHEN DEALER CHECKS AS HONDA COMPUTER DOES NOT STORE ANY ERROR CODES OR CONDITIONS, ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL LIGHT COME ON THEN GO TO DEALER. I OBJECTED AS PASSENGER IS AT RISK OF LIFE THAT THE AIR BAG WILL PROVIDE NO PROTECTION IN EVENT OF COLLISION. HONDA STATED POLICY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE SENSOR UNLESS IT FAILS IN TEST AT DEALER ' THAT IS, PERMANENTLY BAD, NOT INTERMITTANT. HONDA HQ AGENT THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE SHE/HONDA COULD DO. I SAID YES, REPLACE ANY SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO ON, AND CHECK LIGHT FOR FAULTY WIRING. RESPONSE: WE'RE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT. (HONDA HQ CASE # 05056884)
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.
THIS VEHICLE HAS NO START CONDITION AT TIME. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED IN THREE DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS DURING A COURSE OF 26 MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.
THERE IS A VERY LOUD HUMMING/ROARING NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. I THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE RELATED AND WAS TALKED INTO NEW TIRES IN WHICH THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, IT IS LOOKING AS IF THE NOISE IS BEING PRODUCED FROM THE REAR WHEEL BEARING. I CAN TURN SHARPLY TO THE LEFT, RELIEVING PRESSURE/WEIGHT FROM THE LEFT REAR AND THE NOISE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES. TURNING SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, (INCREASING PRESSURE TO THE LEFT REAR) INCREASES THE NOISE. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED BY MY HONDA DEALER. THE NOISE STARTED AT AROUND 35K AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE.
2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DISCOVERING A RUPTURE IN THE RIGHT REAR SIDEWALL. OF THE TIRE. *SMD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE GEAR LOCKED IN PARK AND HAD TO BE WIGGLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO RELEASE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT ROLLED OUT OF PARK AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,065.
LOW MILES 2 YEAR OLD HONDA ACCORD RANDOMLY WENT UP IN FLAMES AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 30MINS AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE. LOOKS TO BE A HP FUEL PUMP DESIGN PROBLEM. THIS PUMP WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THANKFULLY IT WASN'T PARKED IN MY GARAGE.
GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES WITH 41,000 MILES ON A 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAVE PIECES OF RUBBER COMING OUT OF THEM. THE BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT ARE FINE AND AIR PRESSURE IS AT 33 PSI. TIRES ARE ROTATED AT EVERY SERVICE, APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO SEND PICTURES TO GOODYEAR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY REFUSE TO ALLOW ME TO DO SO. THEY ONLY ACCEPT THE WORD OF THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED IT IS A RESULT OF DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROADS, WHICH HAS NEVER TAKEN PLACE. THEY WERE WILLING TO DO A PARTIAL WEAR ADJUSTMENT, BUT THEY WILL NOT GO THE 50% AS STATED IN THE WRITTEN WARRANTY.
FLASHING DASHBOARD: FCW,ENGINE LIGHT ON, STABILIZER CONTROL LIGHT,ABS- ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASH BOARD, UNABLE TO START CARD. BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD. CAR WAS PARKED ON STREET IN FRONT OF HOME. FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE DEALER CLAIMS IT'S THE FOURTH TIME. CAR PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER BLAMES ALARM DEPARTMENT. THE ALARM DEPARTMENT CLAIMS DEALER ALWAYS BLAMES THEM. HOWEVER, I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PERMANENTLY FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN IN 2015. THIS FALLS INSIDE OF 18 MONTHS LEMON LAW. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A ONGOING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS NOT RECEPTIVE ABOUT IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BRAKING INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED AND TURNED RIGHT AND LEFT INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.
SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOP I WILL NOT GET POWER AND I'M AFRAID THAT AN ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I BELIEVE THE OXYGEN SENSOR MAY BE THE CAUSE. LACK OF POWER.
OIL CONSUMPTION: BURNING ENGINE OIL ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS NEAR EMPTY WITHIN 5000 MILES OIL CHANGE INTERVAL FLASH AND GONE LOW ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD WHICH IS HARD TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM
HANGING A HANDICAP PLACARD FROM THE AUTO DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR CAUSED A WIRING HARNESS SHORT. THE SHORT WAS INTERMMITENT AT FIRST AND CAUSED A PARTIAL LOSS OF ACCESSORIES (AC, RADIO, ETC.) WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN 5 MILES OF THE LOSS OF ACCESSORIES, A HARD SHORT OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED DEALER REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY INDICATING THAT THE CONDITION WAS CAUSED BY AN OUTSIDE SOURCE (THE HANDICAP PLACARD). I APPEALED TO AMERICAN HONDA 7/13/16 AND THE SAME DECISION WAS UPHELD.
I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT AT 2 MPH OR LESS, AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP, THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD OUT OF MY CONTROL, ACROSS THE CONCRETE BARRIER, OVER A WALKWAY AND INTO THE WALL OF A RESTAURANT, WHERE IT STALLED. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO REVERSE IT AWAY FROM THE CRASH. FORTUNATELY NO-ONE WAS HURT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE WALL OF THE RESTAURANT. THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN MARCH 2014. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, AND I CRASHED ACROSS A PATH AND THROUGH A WOODEN FENCE. THE DAMAGE THEN WAS $10K. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP'S COLLISION CENTER, WHICH REPORTED ONLY THAT "NO DEFECTS IN MATERIALS OR FACTORY WORKMANSHIP WERE FOUND." THERE ARE AT LEAST 11 OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS STRING, AND IT IS CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN LEAVING ME STRANDED BECAUSE THE CAR KILLS THE BATTERY. IT STARTED LAST YEAR AND THE DEALER SAID THE BATTERY WAS FINE, AND LEFT IT AT THAT. NOW A YEAR LATER THE BATTER IS STILL TESTING GOOD BUT THE CAR HAS LEFT ME 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY IN 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I PERMANENTLY HAVE TO CART JUMPING CABLES JUST I. CASE. I'M SO SAD TO SEE THAT I'M PAYING AND I'VE BEEN SUCH A FAITHFUL HONDA CLIENT AND THIS IS REALLY DEVESTATING.
THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AFTER PARALLEL PARKING MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERATIVE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
2014 HONDA ACCORD FAILS TO START PERIODICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IF THERE IS NO ERROR CODE AND ACTS IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO THE ACCORD. TIME FOR ANOTHER RECALL.. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
HONDA ACORD 2014 SPORT 235/45/18 94V AFTER 14000 MILES STARTED SHAKING AND MAKING A ROORING NOISE . AFTER INSPECTION BY THE DEALER HE SAID THAY GO BAD ON BACK BECAUSE OF LESS WAIGHT . SAID THAY WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ALL OF THIS BRAND ON BACK OF A HONDAS . IT IS CUPPING OUT A BUBBLE GETS BETREEN TREAD AND BODY OF TIRS . VERY UNSAFE . YOU CAN HERE AND FEEL THIS AT ALL SPEEDS .
THE RIGHT TURN CAMERA THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT IS DEACTIVATED DURING HIGH HEAT.,IN PHOENIX AZ "HIGH HEAT" MEANS DIRECT SUNLIGHT AT OVER 85 DEGREES. WHEN I REPORTED THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT THIS OUTAGE CREATES FOR THE DRIVERS OF OUR CAR THEY JUST SAID, "YEAH, IT TAKES A WHILE TO COOL OFF." SOMETIMES 15 MINUTES. MEANWHILE I DON'T HAVE THE SAFETY FEATURE I PAID FOR. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW OFTEN MY SAFETY CAMERA SHUTS OFF NOW THAT WE ARE "IN SEASON?" DAILY. LITERALLY EVERY DAY MY RIGHT TURN BLIND SPOT CAMERA SHUTS DOWN WITH A WARNING THAT POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD THAT ELIMINATES OUR ABILITY TO SEE OTHER WARNING SENSOR LIGHTS. I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THIS DEFECT TO REMAIN. A HIGH HEAT SENSOR GOING OFF AT 85 DEGREE AMBIENT TEMP IS ABSURD. THEY SAID, NOPE...TOTALLY NORMAL. I'D SAY THAT A CAMERA HELPING ELIMINATE THE BLIND SPOT THAT RESULTS IN MANY ACCIDENTS, SHOULD BE WORKING AT ALL TIMES. AGAIN, SHAME ON HONDA. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN.
UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVERS SEAT, MY LEGS AND THIGH GET NUMB AND GO TO SLEEP, MY SCIATIC NERVE GETS AGRIVATED AND HURTS, AFTER DRIVING FOR 1 HOUR, YOUR LEGS ARE TOTALLY NUMB AND THEN YOU CAN'T WALK FOR NEARLY 100 STEPS, THESE SEATS ARE DANGEROUS AND A HEALTH HAZARD.
DID SEE ONE TIME LOW OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL FOR ABOUT 2 SEC WHEN DID MOVE ON THE STREET WITH THE SPEED ABOUT 30 MPH. DID ADD ONE QUARTER OF THE OIL. IN TWO DAYS THERE WAS NO OIL IN ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY BRING THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AT 9AM ON 5/28/16 CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND DO AFRAID TO USE IT.
SOY BEAN BASED WIRING. CAUSED APPROX $2,200 IN DAMAGE. WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE COST.
UNLOCK CAR WITH REMOTE ONLY TO COME BACK TO THE CAR AND IT HAS LOCKED ITSELF AGAIN.
THE TRUNK HAS OPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. FIRST TIME THE LATCH AND THE CABLE WERE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TOLD THE KEY WAS RESET. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.. VEHICLE IS USUALLY PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX-L WAS PARALLEL PARKED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, I TURNED IT ON AND STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO EXIT THE PARKING SPACE. THE FIRST TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL HAD NO PROBLEM, BUT AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR I MOVED 5 FEET FORWARD AND THEN I HEARD A SERIES OF CLICKING NOISES COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND THE STEERING BECAME IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BUT EVERY TIME I TURNED THE CAR ON, THERE WERE A SERIES OF CLICKS AND THE STEERING WOULD REMAIN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH THE EPS LIGHT STAYING LIT. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED, AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE EPS CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. I HAD DRIVEN OVER 100 MILES THAT DAY ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND IF THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ANY OTHER TIME THROUGHOUT THE DAY I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT.
REAR RIGHT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED AND PREVENTS FROM OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR.
POWER STEERING FAILED HAD TO WHILE TAKING A TURN. I HAD TO TURN OFF ENGINE & RESTART IT TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN
TRUNK LID OPENS BY ITSELF INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT NINE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONE YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE OR ON THE STREET NEAR MY HOUSE. AFTER THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED I BEGAN TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM MY POCKET AND HANGING THEM ON A KEY HOOK UPON ENTERING THE HOUSE. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA AMERICA TECH SUPPORT HAS NEVER EVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM TO DO A GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. I TOLD THEM THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN IF NO CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TAKEN. SO I INSISTED THAT THEY DISCONNECT THE ELECTRONICS FROM THE REMOTE TRUNK RELEASE. I HAVE TO OPEN THE TRUNK MANUALLY WITH THE TRUNK RELEASE CABLE BUT IT IS BETTER THAN LOOKING OUT YOUR HOUSE WINDOW AND SEEING YOUR CAR TRUNK FLAPPING IN THE BREEZE. LESSON LEARNED IS THAT HONDA AMERICA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS UP I WILL BE SWITCHING TO ANOTHER BRAND.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT DEVELOPED STARTING PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A STARTER PROBLEM. BECAUSE I HAVE 47,000 MILES ON THE CAR, WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER REPAIR.
MY CAR HAS A LANE WATCH CAMERA THAT ENGAGES WHEN USING YOUR RIGHT BLINKER. WHEN MAKING AN OUTBOUND CALL, YOU SAY THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU ARE CALLING AND THEN YOU RECEIVE A VERBAL NOTIFICATION "CALLING _____" IF BETWEEN THIS TIME AND THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE SYSTEM TO INITIATE THE CALL AND DIAL TONE STARTS YOU HAVE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, WHICH ENGAGES THE LANE WATCH CAMERA, THE CALL IS CANCELED. ONCE YOU'VE TURNED THE CORNER AND THE CAMERA HAS TURNED OFF, IT WILL AGAIN SAY "CALLING ____" HOWEVER IT DOES NOT PERFORM THE CALL AND JUST SITS ON THAT SCREEN. IF YOU LIVE IN A CITY WHERE FREQUENT TURNS ARE A NORMALITY, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SO AND MAKE OUTBOUND CALLS IT'S VERY DIFFICULT AND DISTRACTING AS MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS ARE OFTEN NEEDED TO MAKE THE CALL. I'VE SINCE TURNED OFF THE LANE WATCH CAMERA TO PREVENT IT FROM DISRUPTING OUTBOUND CALLS.
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION: CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, AS I WAS DRIVING A SLOW SPEED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AS I ATTEMPTED TO STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE STREET, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD UNDER ACCELERATION. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND WITH THE ENGINE RACING TO ABOUT 4,000 RPM WITH REV LIMITER CUTTING IN I STOPPED THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL. ENGINE AGAIN RACED TO 4,000RPM WITH REV LIMITER CUTTING IN. STOPPED ENGINE AGAIN AND RESTARTED A THIRD TIME, THIS TIME ENGINE IDLED NORMALLY AND DROVE WITHOUT INCIDENT. CALLED DEALER, NO RECORDS FROM ANYONE INDICATING A SIMILAR SITUATION.
WHILE DRIVE 2014 HONDA ACCORD FCW LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FELT LIKE A SPONGE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH THAT MY FRONT END WENT UNDER A SUV THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND IT COST 8000 TO FIX THIS IS NOT RIGHT I NOTIFIED HONDA AND AS USUAL SAID THE WILL KEEP IT ON FILE BUT NOT I AM EVEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THANK YOU. *TR
CAR WAS STOPPED WITH TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND ENGINE IDLING. THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO OVER 2000 RPM WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND NOT ON ACCELERATOR. I PUSHED THE STOP/START BUTTON AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT AGAIN RAN AT OVER 2000 RPM WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND NOT ON ACCELERATOR. SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED AGAIN AND IT WENT FROM OVER 2000 RPM BACK TO NORMAL IDLE. I DROVE CAR HOME AND HAD TWO REPEAT ACCELERATIONS SO DROVE CAR TO SHOP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 05/17/16*LJ *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT WRIST THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT A DIAGNOSTIC WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V121000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD SUCTION NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THE WINDOW FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE POLICE WHO STATED THAT NO OUTSIDE DAMAGE CAUSED THE FRACTURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.
ONE COLD MORNING OF ABOUT 30-32 DEGREES, THE BACK LEFT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE (OR INSIDE) WHEN THE HANDLE WAS PULLED. IT WAS AS IF CHILD LOCK WAS ON. FROM THAT POINT ON, NO MATTER WHAT TEMP, THE DOOR WON'T OPEN PROPERLY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO OPEN IS TO PUSH THE DOOR IN THEN PULLING THE HANDLE. IF ON THE INSIDE, YOU HAVE TO PULL THE DOOR IN BY THE HOLE YOU GRASP THE DOOR THE PULL THE HANDLE. IT IS NOT SAFE. IT HAPPENED AT 37,000 MILES. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS ON LEASE STILL WITH ONE MORE YEAR TILL I CAN FINANCE IT. I HAVE NO KIDS AND HAVE GUEST THE SIT IN THE BACK PERIODICALLY. I CAN SEE NO FAULT ON MY END FOR THE DOOR TO BE DEFECTIVE. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO WAVE THE $180 FEE TO LOOK AT IT.
SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY CAR BRAND NEW I HEARD A CLUNK NOISE COME FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL AREA. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. TODAY, AT AROUND 27K MILES THE NOISE HAS EVOLVED INTO A RATTLE WHICH IS HEARD WHILE GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR AROUND A SWEEPING RIGHT HAND TURN.
TAKATA RECALL: I WANT TO KNOW IF MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. HONDA ADVISED ME THAT I HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. I HAVE ASKED IF THIS AIRBAG USES THE AMMONIUM NITRATE PROPELLANT - WHICH IS SUSPECTED TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM - AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO TELL ME. I HAVE WRITTEN TWO LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN HONDA & HAVE HAD TWO PHONE RESPONSES, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTION. THEY CLEARLY KNOW THE ANSWER AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO CONFIRM IN WRITING AS TO WHETHER AMMONIUM NITRATE IS USED IN THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE.
(1/12/2016) WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE CAR JOLTED AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL. THE CAR BEHIND ME CAME BARRELING UP ON MY BUMPER NEARLY CRASHING INTO ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. HAD MY CHILDREN BEEN IN THE CAR, AND THE DRIVER BEHIND ME NOT BEEN SO ALERT (PRAISE THE LORD), THIS COULD HAVE HAD DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THAT INSTANCE THE TRANSMISSION KEPT SLIPPING AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE, AND THE CAR WOULD JOLT FORWARD AND BACK. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 112,000 MILES ON IT. ALL OUR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PER SCHEDULE AND PERFORMED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SO THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS TRANSMISSION TO FAIL THIS EARLY. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SEE IF THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT WAS FULL AND CLEAN (THANKS TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE). IN RESEARCHING THIS FURTHER I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF OVER 1 MILLION VEHICLES ON THIS VERY PROBLEM BACK IN 2004 (NTSA REFERENCE #04V176000, APRIL 15, 2004). THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COVERING SEVERAL HONDA MODELS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. THIS FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN HONDA'S REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND DEPENDABILITY. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I HAVE 4 CHILDREN, AND HAD THIS BEEN UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. PLEASE HONDA; DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS ISSUE.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FREEZES EXTREMELY EASILY, CAUSING A HORRIBLY UNSAFE CONDITION IN WINTER DRIVING. AS AN EXAMPLE, I HAVE -30 DEGREE WASHER FLUID IN THE CAR, IT IS 25 DEGREES OUT THIS MORNING, CAR SAT IN THE GARAGE ALL NIGHT. AFTER A 15 MINUTE DRIVE, WASHER FLUID IS COMPLETELY FROZEN AND WILL NOT COME OUT AT ALL. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WITH THE SALT ON THE ROAD.
I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. IN OUR FIRST SNOWSTORM THIS YEAR, I NOTICED I HAD TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY MOVING FORWARD, EVEN ON FLAT SURFACE, WITHIN MY OWN CULDESAC, WITH VERY LITTLE SNOW ON THE GROUND. DESPITE THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND ORIGINAL TIRES, I WAS SURPRISED HOW BADLY THE TIRES PERFORMED IN MILD SNOWY CONDITIONS. I MADE A MENTAL NOTE TO GET NEW TIRES, ALTHOUGH QUITE DISAPPOINTED THAT I FELT THAT NEED WITH A RELATIVELY NEW CAR UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEXT SNOW HIT BEFORE I BOUGHT NEW TIRES. I WAS IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE, MAKING MY WAY TO A MAJOR STREET WITH A MILD DECLINE. THE ROAD WAS SLICK, BUT I NOTED THAT THE OTHER CARS DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY STOPPING, ETC. AS I BEGAN THE DESCENT DOWN THE HILL, I NOTICED MY TIRES WERE NOT GIVING MY ANY TRACTION, AND I BEGAN SLIDING UNCONTROLLABLY DOWN THE HILL. I COLLIDED WITH A CAR ON THE INTERSECTING STREET DUE TO, I BELIEVE, VERY POOR TIRE PERFORMANCE. A NEW CAR OF THIS CALIBER, IN MY OPINION,SHOULD HAVE ADEQUATE TRACTION ABILITY FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST 20,000 MILES. MY CAR IS, LIKELY TOTALED, I AM INJURED, THE OTHER PARTY'S CAR IS BADLY DAMAGED AND I IMAGINE SHE SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN HAVING MY CAR SERVICED OVER THE PAST YEAR, I WAS NEVER ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE INADEQUATE.
ON A SUNDAY MORNING, I STARTED MY CAR IN A DRIVEWAY - TURNED ON THE HEATER AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO WARM UP. WHEN I BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THERE WAS A BUNCH OF THICK SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THEN, I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND QUICKLY JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY CAR AND DETERMINED THAT THE WATER PUMP FROZE WHICH CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR BELT TO BREAK. THE NEXT DAY, ONCE MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DETERMINATION WAS CONFIRMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. BUT, AS TO THIS DAY - I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED. DO I HAVE A LEMON OR WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? COULD THIS HAPPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING CAUSING A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT? AFTER ALL, THIS CAR ONLY HAD 18,571 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW ON MARCH 9, 2014. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE UNKNOWN FUTURE SAFETY RISK.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SUN SHADE WAS CLOSED AND THE MAJORITY OF THE GLASS FRAGMENTS WERE WAS RETAINED BY THE SUN SHADE. THE DEALER SPECULATED THAT A ROCK MUST HAVE STRUCK THE SUN ROOF, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.
TWO TIMES WHILE DRIVING TONIGHT I TRIED TO ADJUST THE HEAT BUT ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT KILLED THE ENGINE. IN ORDER TO START YOU MUST BE IN PARK SO YOU MUST STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE RESTARTING. THIS HAPPENED IN A SMALL TOWN WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. IF THIS HAPPENED IN HIGH SPEED HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS SITUATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR THE DRIVER OR OTHER DRIVERS. A RECALL SHOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED.
HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY CAR SINCE PURCHASE, I HAD COMPLAINED AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP DUE TO NOISE BEING MADE WHEN BRAKING. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, BRAKES CONTINUED TO HAVE TROUBLE FUNCTIONING CAR WOULD SHAKE WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE, THIS LEAD TO TOTAL FAILURE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING ME TO IMPACT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP AND FAILED TO STOP.
TAKATA RECALL THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TOO THE FLOOR OF THE SUV. I WAS COMING UP ON A STOP SIGN.
TRUNK LID HAS NO RESISTANCE AND HAS FALLEN ON US NUMEROUS TIMES CAUSING FACIAL/HEAD INJURIES. PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT ELEVATION. IF LID IS NOT HELD MANUALLY, GRAVITY AND WEIGHT OF THE TRUNK LID FREE-FALLS. IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS FOR SUPPOSED "REPAIR" OR WE ARE TOLD "THAT IS THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE" -- AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT FROM AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY (CASE NUMBER 04244825)." IN MY 54 YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP, INCLUDING MANY HONDAS, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.
FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BEGAN PREMATURELY CRACKING ALONG THE OUTER SIDEWALL. VEHICLE HAS APPROX 35600 MILES. TIRES CAME NEW WITH VEHICLE.
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS 33,900+ MILES AND FOR THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD IT IN TO FOX HONDA IN GRAND RAPIDS FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS, THAT IT STUTTERS OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AND TWICE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED OUT AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. FOX MOTORS PLUGS A COMPUTER INTO THE CAR AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF ANY PROBLEMS AND THEY CAN'T FIX WHAT THEY CAN'T DETECT. TWO DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING TO THE VA HOSPITAL IN BATTLE CREEK, I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON ANDERSON RD/STREET AND THE CAR STALLED AND A FEDEX SEMI HAD TO DRIVE ONTO SHOULDER AND ONTO A YARD TO KEEP FROM HITTING US AND IF HE HADN'T, WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO FOX MOTORS AND THEY ARE STANDING PAT, REFUSING TO HELP US. THEY DID OFFER TO BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME, BUT FOR A TERRIBLE PRICE AND I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH IT AND THEY DEALERSHIP MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WOULD RESELL IT WITH CONFIDENCE AND I REFUSED TO SELL IT TO THEM IF THEY WERE GOING TO RESELL IT WITH A SERVICE CERTIFICATION. HOW DARE THEM DO THAT! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.
MY CAR ROLLS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY ABOUT 3 FEET BEFORE IT STOPS, MY DRIVEWAY IS ABOUT 15 DEGREES, NO RAIN, NO SNOW, CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NORMAL, I TEND TO THINK ITS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE CAR WAS STATIONART AND IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I DID MY OWN TEST ON THIS SITUATION AND IT WAS VERY REPEATABLE.
MY CAR SURGES WHILE DRIVING OCCASIONALLY AND SURGES WHILE STOPPED. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP SIGN WAITING ON TRAFFIC TO PASS BY AND MY CAR SURGED SO HARD THAT IT PUSHED IT OUT A COUPLE INCHES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. READ OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE AND MY CAR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE TURNING AT A CURVE. WELL KNOWN ROAD, IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, UP A HILL. DRIVE IT DAILY. TO AVOID HITTING, CLIMBED ON CURB, , TOOK ENTIRE STRENGTH I HAD TO PUT VEHICLE BACK IN STRAIGHT LINE. AS A RESULT CAR SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE, I PULLED SOME MUSCLES I NEVER KNEW I HAD. I BARELY AVOIDED HITTING THE A BILLBOARD SIGN HEAD ON. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THERE BEING NO PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK, AS IT IS CLOSE TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. FLUID LEAKED FROM CAR AFTERWARDS. I NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR PRIOR, HAD IT FOR A YEAR, A BRAND NEW LEASE. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID ALL THE DAMAGE IS FROM THE IMPACT TO CURB. CANNOT FIND FAULTS. DANGEROUS SITUATION.
CAR ACCELERATED WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE EXTERIOR WALL OF THE STORE.
THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING KICK BACK ON. HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE REQUIRING MULTIPLE RESTARTS TO (5 OR SIX RESTARTS OF THE CAR TO KICK ON) TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GRAINGER HONDA-SAVANNAH GA) ON 9/10/2015. TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE SYMPTOM THROUGH 50+ MILES OF DRIVING. NO FURTHER ACTION WOULD BE TAKE AND THEY WOULD WASH THE CAR AND GIVE ME A TANK OF GAS FOR MY TROUBLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY.
I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY UPON SLIGHTLY BRAKING A STRONG VIBRATING STARTED FROM THE WHEELS TO THE ENGINE I LOOK INTO HONDA AND PROBLEMS REGARDING THEM WHEN I LOST POWER LIKE A STALL IS RELATED TO ENGINE WHICH CAUSES THE VIBRATING AS WELL AS THE BRAKING VIBRATING IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA WARP ROTORS WITH ONLY 14,600 MILES SHOULD'NT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES TO EARLY CAUSE IM NORMAL DRIVER ALSOTHE AIRCONDTION BLOWING HOT AIR SCREEN GOING BLACK ON THE DASH BOARD IN AND OUT I PAY ALOT OF MONEY VERY UPSET WITH WHATS HAPPENING OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THIS CAR
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A TUESDAY MORNING AROUND 6:45AM AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG. PULLED BACK MY SUN VISOR FOR SUNROOF AND SAW THAT MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. CLOSED VISOR JUST IN CASE IT WANTED TO BREAK. THEN ALL OFF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD CRASH AND MY VISOR STARTED FLAPPING. ROAD TO WORK HOLDING VISOR WITH ONE HAND AND DRIVING WITH THE OTHER SCARED THE VISOR WAS GOING TO FLY OPEN. GOT TO WORK AND LOOKED AT SUN ROOF AND IT WAS A BIG HOLE IN MY SUNROOF. 75% OF MY SUNROOF WAS MISSING OR GONE.
I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY HONDA ACCORD EX-L, 2014. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR SHOWED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH PANEL. IT SAID "SYSTEM FAILED", AND THE DASH FUNCTIONS BECAME PARALYZED. SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HOOD. IN A FEW MINUTES, THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR WAS IN FLAMES. MOST OF THE CAR WAS BURNED.
SUNROOF BLEW OUT WITH A LOUD NOISE, GOING 45 MPH, SUNNY AND DRY ROAD, DAYLIGHT, NO TRUCKS ANYWHERE NEAR MY CAR, NO OVER PASSES IN THAT AREA, BUSHES AND TREES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NO PEOPLE IN SIGHT AND LUCKY FOR ME THE ROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED. MA 10/5 *CN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. MA 10/06
PULLED INTO PARKING SPOT. AS I SLOWED PRIOR TO SHIFTING TO PARK, THE ENGINE SURGED PROPELLING ME INTO A CEMENT COLUMN. THE FRONT OF MY CAR SUSTAINED APPROXIMATELY $2600 IN DAMAGES.
MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. NOTHING HIT IT; IT JUST EXPLODED.
THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO SIMULATE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE FCW SHOULD ALERT, WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER FOUR TIMES. ON TWO OF THE VISITS THE FCW ONLY WORKED ONCE AFTER TESTING FOUR OR MORE TIMES.THE FCW NOTIFICATION WAS TOO CLOSE FOR SAFELY TAKING ACTION. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE WARNING DISTANCE WHEN CHANGING THE SETTINGS- LONG, NORMAL, SHORT. ON THE TWO OTHER OCCASIONS THE FCW DID NOT WORK AT ALL. DEALER ADVISED IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO RIDE ALONG ON TEST DRIVES. HONDA AMERICA WOULD NOT FURNISH EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES TO DETERMINE IF FCW WAS WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY VARIABLES AND THIS INFORMATION WAS PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVISE AND SHOULD WORK PROPERLY. HONDA AMERICA REFUSED MY REQUEST TO SEND TO AN EMPLOYE TO TEST DRIVE. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN *TR
UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE HESITATED THEN STALLED. UPON RESTARTING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE SURGED FORWARD. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE LOST POWER MOMENTARILY THEN REENGAGED. THE A.C./CLIMATE CONTROL IS AGAIN NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND THE HANDS-FREE PHONE FUNCTION DISCONNECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONING DEFECT REPAIRS COMPLETED. AT THAT TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE TRUNK LID THAT HAS BEEN FALLING DOWN SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2014. THE TRUNK LID FALLS AT WILL.
THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF WITH OUT PUTTING IN PARK. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC WITH PUSH BUTTON START. WHEN STOPPING AT AN ARRIVED LOCATION YOU ARE ABLE TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF YOUR VEHICLE WITH OUT PUTTING IT IN PARK WHICH THEN DISENGAGES THE GEARS. IF YOU HAPPEN TO FORGET TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF IN DRIVE WHEN YOU GET OUT, THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY. ANY OTHER PUSH BUTTON START VEHICLE I HAVE USED WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN UNTIL IT WAS PLACED IN PARK. ROLL AWAY ISSUES SHOULD AND COULD BE EASILY FIXED.
WHEN PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT MY CONDO THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND WENT OVER THE PARKING SPACE CEMENT MARKER, OVER THE SHRUBS AND ONTO SIDEWALK. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE BUILDING. I JUST NICKED THE EDGE OF THE CEMENT DOORWAY LEADING INTO THE WALKWAY TO MY CONDO BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE HOOD TO BUCKLE. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR AND THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $5500.00. MA 10/14 UPDATED 11/30/2017*CN
WHEN TRYING TO START MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX, I HAVE TO ATTEMPT IT SEVERAL TIMES TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BEFORE IT WILL START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 16 TIMES! I TOOK THE HONDA TO THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE I TAKE IT TO FOR SERVICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT) AND THEY ARE STATING IT'S A "STARTER ISSUE" AND THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE "POWER TRAIN" WARRANTY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $495 FOR A NEW STARTER, PLUS $200 LABOR. THE CAR BEING SO NEW DOES NOT HAVE "AFTER MARKET" PARTS AND SO I WOULD HAVE TO BUY IT NEW. MY LAST HONDA ACCORD EX V6 2005 MODEL DIDN'T HAVE ITS STARTER REPLACED UNTIL JULY 2012. SO I KNOW THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! I'VE EVEN RESEARCHED THE LIFE OF AN AVERAGE STARTER AND MOST OF THEM ARE AT 100K MILES OR 5 YEARS. SO I KNOW HONDA HAS TO HELP ME WITH THIS! I'VE BEEN CALLING HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION IN CALIFORNIA (MICHAEL) AND THE HOLLER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO (MAGGIE NERO - SERVICE MANAGER) AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET WITH THIS. ANY INSIGHT ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
I STARTED MY CAR IN PARK WHILE ON A HILL WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THE CAR STARTED MOVING A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE I RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IMMEDIATELY, I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I STOPPED THE CAR BY PUTTING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUTTING THE TRANS MISSION IN PARK. THE TOTAL TRIP WAS ABOUT 100 YARDS. I NOTICED THAT 5 OR 6 WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON INCLUDING THE BATTERY. THEN I QUICKLY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I WAITED FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND EMBARKED ON A 25 MILE TRIP HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND WITHOUT WARNING I FELT MY VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO TURN AS I PREPARED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NOTICE MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT ON. I APPLIED EXCESSIVE EFFORT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN AND MANAGE TO STOP IN A PARKING LOT WHERE, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD. THE NEXT MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SITUATION ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A VEHICLE AND CRASH INTO A POND. UPDATED 9/15/15 *LN.... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN
I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU CONCERNING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT VIN #: [XXX]. I RECENTLY HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT AND THE REAR BUMPER WAS SCRATCHED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THE REAR BUMPER PAINTED. THE REPAIR SHOP CALLED ME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MISSING THE ABSORBER ON THE REAR BUMPER, THAT IS THE FOAM PART THAT FITS BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE BUMPER AND THE METAL PLATE. THE PAINT SHOP TOLD ME THAT SOMETIMES NEW VEHICLES ARRIVE AT THE DEALER WITH BUMPERS & SIDE MIRRORS DETACH AND THEY GET ASSEMBLE AT THE DEALER OR ITS POSSIBLE THAT A BATCH OF VEHICLE WERE SHIPPED MISSING THE ABSORBER IN THE BUMPER AREA. IF YOU TOUCH AND PRESS YOUR FINGER IN THE REAR BUMPER YOU FEEL AN AIR SPACE GAP AND THE BUMPER DOES NOT FEEL HARD.

MY SUNROOF AND WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY OPENED UP ON THEIR OWN ON MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SHOULD I BE DRIVING OR CAUSE MY CAR TO BE VANDALIZED SINCE IT IS OPEN "TO THE PUBLIC."
I JUST NOTICED TWO HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE CLEAR PLASTIC THAT COVERS THE FRONT LIGHTS. EACH ONE IS BY THE YELLOW LIGHTS. ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE CAR. AS FAR AS I KNOW, NOTHING HAS HIT THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE.

RIGHT TURN SIGNAL CAMERA WOULD NOT RESET WHEN RIGHT TURN COMPLETED. ALSO HAPPENED IN JANUARY. HAD TO STOP CAR AND RESTART TO GET SYSTEM WORKING (DISPLAY RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATIONS.)
THIS IS A NIGHTMARE. HONDA ACCORD 2014.LAST NIGHT MY WINDOWS AND SUNROOF AUTOMATICALLY OPENED; THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, SEE BELOW. THE OPENING OF THE WINDOWS OCCURRED DURING A RAIN STORM AND MY BRAND NEW HONDA IS FILLED WITH WATER. THE DASH IS BLANK AND THE PHOB KEY RADIO SEARCHING LIGHT IS NOT BLINKING; SO THERE WAS A SHORT THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED BELOW, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM BECAUSE I KEPT THINKING THEY WERE JUST RANDOM LITTLE ISSUES BUT THEY WERE PRECURSORS TO THIS VERY BIG ISSUE. MY CAR IS TOTALED!!! PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL STUFF AND SAVE YOUR LIFE AND GET RID OF YOUR CAR. MY TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENED, PARKED AND DRIVING. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, EVEN AFTER BEING RESET AND TIRES CHECKED. I'D GET IN MY CAR AND FIND THE SUNROOF PARTIALLY OPENED OVER NIGHT. THERE IS A WEIRD RATTLE IN MY CAR IN THE FRONT AREA, SOUNDS LIKE ITS IN THE DASH BOARD, BUT COULD NEVER ISOLATE IT.
IT WAS AROUND 1:50 PM ON MAY 6 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY I75 N 341 EXIT GOING APROXIMATELY 70MPH WHEN ALL OVER SUDDEN A CAR {MINIVAN OR SUV}ON FRONT OF ME HIT OR RAN OVER A BIG PIECE OF A CAR TIRE THAT WAS ON THE ROAD, I SWITHED TO THE RIGHT LANE BUT IS WAS TO LATE THE BIG PIECEC OF TIRE WICH IT WAS PRETTY BIG HIT MY CAR, THE LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT ARE, HOOD AND BUMPED ON THE WINDSHIELD THEN, IT WHEN OVER THE CAR IT WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE. THAT AREA IN I 75 IS ALWAYS A PROBLEMS THERE IS ALWAYS TIRES AND OTHER MATERIALS IN THAT AREA. NOT TO LONG AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LONG METAL TUBE ON THE HIGHWAY AND UNFORTUNATELYOTHER CARS AND MY SELF WENT OVER IT.. THE TIRE IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM I THINK, THAT HIGHWAY SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN FROM ALL THING FOR THE SAFETY OF COMMUTERS.
WINDSHIELD HAS COATING, OR APPEARS TO HAVE INTERNAL LAMINATE DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE. WHEN DAMP OR WET, VISIBILITY IS MADE WORSE BY USE OF WIPERS CAUSING EXTREMELY REDUCED VISIBILITY & EXCESSIVE GLARE FROM OPPOSING TRAFFIC. NIGHT DRIVING IN RAIN IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. *TR
ENGINE CRANKS BUT FAILS TO START, OR STARTS SLUGGISHLY WITH ROUGH IDLE AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF CRANKING IN COLD WEATHER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FUEL PUMP PRESSURE PROBLEM. *TR
5/1/2014HESITATION (UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION) OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED. WHEN THE CAR IS AT A LOW SPEED AND MORE POWER IS NEEDED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED THERE IS NO RESPONSE INITIALLY; ACCELERATOR IS THEN PRESSED MORE AND THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A JERKY, ON/OFF TYPE ACTION. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GENTLY AND HAVING THE CAR ACCELERATE MORE THAN EXPECTED (IN A PARKING LOT OR HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC ETC). *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE TIRES WERE PERFORMING NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS ACTUALLY LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY BOLT WAS LOOSE AND HAD TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
THE ENGINE SEIZED JUST FROZE AND DIED. THIS WAS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I WAS MAKING ANY KIND OF SHARP TURN. ON THE SECOND TO LAST OCCURRENCE 4/12/15 IT FAILED TO START AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY 5 TIMES. ON THE 6TH, IT MIRACULOUSLY STARTED. WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THE ENGINE SEIZED AGAIN AND IT WAS STUCK FOR A SCARY MOMENT. THE SERVICE DEPT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE HOOD AND POINTED OUT*** A KNOWN COMMON MANUFACTURING FLAW NEAR THE BATTERY, WHERE THE BOLT FOR THE BATTERY RANDOMLY LOSES CONTACT WITH THE SOURCE. HE SHOWED ME WERE IT "WOBBLES OUT OF PLACE- SEIZING THE ENTIRE CAR COMPLETELY!! THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I MADE UTURNS, TURNED CORNERS, AND PULLED IN OR OUT OF PARKING SPOTS. HOW COULD THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY FLAW BE IGNORED??!! I WAS TERRIFIED! THE REAL HORROR IS THAT THIS VERY DEALERSHIP DID AN OIL CHANGE THE WEEK PRIOR AND NO ONE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM!!! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THEM IN NOV. 2014.!!! THIS IS TRUE NEGLIGENCE. I AM FURIOUS. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN TWICE PRIOR TO THIS TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED OVER BECAUSE IT IS MY FOURTH NEW ACCORD, AND I NEW IT WAS NOT RIGHT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH. PLEASE HELP. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND LIFE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD MALFUNCTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.
THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT FOR A SPECIFIC INCIDENT. THE CAR HAS EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE SINCE I PURCHASED IT AT THE END OF AUGUST 2014. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AMERICA AND AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE THEY HAVE DETERMINED SOME OF THEIR CARS HAVE MORE WIND NOISE THAN OTHERS AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. HOWEVER, FOR ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WIND NOISE BECOMES QUITE LOUD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND PRESENTS A DISTRACTION. THE NOISE IS PRONOUNCED AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE B-PILLAR AND SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE SOMEBODY BLOWING AIR DIRECTLY IN MY LEFT EAR. I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE HERE AS HONDA IS DISMISSING MY CASE. *TR
WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN "N" (NEUTRAL) FROM "D", THE KEEPS MOVING FORWARD. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW, IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND KEEPS DOING IT. I NEED TO PUT IT IN "R" AND THEN BACK TO "N" SO THAT IT DOESN'T MOVE. THIS IS A BAD THING , REALLY BAD , AS "N" IS SUPPOSE TO PUT THE CAR IN IDLE STATE BUT IT DOESN'T DO THIS. THE CAR IS A 2014 V6 ACCORD SEDAN. THANK YOU. *TR
POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISES IN DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT END WERE DUE TO IMPROPERLY TORQUED LOCK NUT ON DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT. DEALER INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINED IT WAS NOT COMPROMISED, SO REINSTALLED IT; THEREFORE IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE, BUT IMPROPERLY TORQUED. *TR
WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY IN LIGHT TRAFFIC AND GOOD ROAD CONDITION, HEARD A SHORT RUMBLING SOUND AND THEN SAW TIRE ROLLING OUT FROM REAR MIRROR. A FEW SECOND LATER TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SIGN SHOWN. THIS HAPPENED ALL WITHIN 10 SECONDS. SINCE LOCATED JUST NEAR EXIT, I DROVE OFF AND PARKED ON SIDE. I FOUND ONE REAR TIRE WAS COMPLETELY RIP OFF. THERE HAD BEEN NO ANY SIGN OF TIRE ISSUE BEFORE. CAR IS A FEW MONTHS NEW AND TIRE COMES WITH NEW CAR PURCHASE JUST ABOUT 7500 MILES. BROUGHT CAR TO GOODYEAR TIRE STORE FOR WARRANTY WORK AND WAS TOLD I MUST BRING TIRE TO CLAIM WARRANTY. WHEEL WITH REMNANT OF TIRE WON'T BE ENOUGH. *TR
WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, A LOW RUMBLING SOUND SUDDENLY HEARD AND IN A BLINK SAW A TIRE ROLLING IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. A FEW SECOND LATER FLAT TIRE WARNING SIGN CAME UP. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITH 10 SECONDS TIME. I TOOK IMMEDIATE EXIT AND PARK ON SIDE AND FOUND A REAR TIRE WAS RIPPED OFF WITH ABOUT 2,3 INCHES LEFT ON WHEEL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 7 MONTHS AGO AND WAS ABOUT 7500 MILES AT TIME OF ACCIDENT. BEFORE THE INCIDENT, ALL TIRES AND CAR HAVE NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE. AT INCIDENT, TRAFFIC IS LIGHT, CLEAR WEATHER 2 PM, ROAD CONDITION IS GREAT. I TOOK WHEEL WITH RIM OF REMNANT OF TIRE TO NEARBY GOODYEAR DEALER AND WAS TOLD I COULD NOT CLAIM WARRANTY WITHOUT THE WHOLE TIRE WITH ME. THE TIRE IS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 235/45/R18. *TR
TO: NHTSA I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD IN MARCH 2014 AND SOON AFTER I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT FOR REPAIR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK ME ON A TEST DRIVE TO HEAR THE NOISE AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE RATTLING NOISE IS NOT ALWAYS PRESENT AND IT COMES UNPREDICTABLY THEREFORE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE IT AND REPLICATE THE NOISE WHICH IS SOMETIMES NOT POSSIBLE. I HAVE RECORDINGS OF THE NOISE AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT TO FIX THE CAR. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE HAD PERSONALLY TOLD ME THAT IT IS A DEFECT AND THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION FOR IT AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEIR ENGINEERING FIGURES OUT A FIX. I HIRED A LEMON LAWYER A FEW MONTHS AGO TO HELP ME. I AM INFURIATED THAT HONDA IS OFFERING ME TO SETTLE BY PAYING ME ?SOME MONIES FOR MY TROUBLE? WITHOUT GOING TO TRIAL BUT THEY STILL ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE CAR. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA IS ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH I EXPRESSED SAFETY CONCERNS AND EVEN WORSE THEY TRY TO PUT A PRICE TAG TO SETTLE FOR MY SAFETY INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 22- 23, 2015, I FEEL LIKE THIS APPOINTMENT IS TOO FAR AND THE MORE I DRIVE THIS CAR THE HIGHER RISK IT POSSES FOR MY SAFETY. MY EXPERIENCE WITH HONDA HAS BEEN AN APPALLING ONE SO FAR AND I WANT TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE PROCESS. AFTER HONDA?S HISTORY AND PENALTY OF WRONGDOING TO THE PUBLIC I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY TAKE MORE AGGRESSIVE MEASURES ADDRESSING SAFETY ISSUES BEFORE THEY CAUSE HARM. I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND INVOLVEMENT IN THIS BATTLE WITH HONDA AND TRYING TO MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT THEY CAN?T JUST PAY INDIVIDUALS MONEY AND BRUSH SAFETY ISSUES UNDER THE CARPET. *TR

UPON BEING HANDED THE KEYS TO MY BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICED A LOT OF SCRATCHES NEAR THE DOORS. I THOUGHT IT ODD SINCE IT'S A KEYLESS ENTRY CAR. THE SALESPERSON AGREED THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE SCRATCHES, AND SAID THOSE WOULD PROBABLY COME OUT, AND OFFERED ME A COURTESY "BUFFING." AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF MY NEW CAR, I NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PULLING ONTO THE STREET. I ALSO NOTICED IT TOOK MORE WORK TO STEER THE CAR THAN MY OTHER CAR WHICH I BOUGHT NEW FIVE YEARS AGO. I ALSO NOTICED SOME TAPE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT BUMPER THAT HADN'T BEEN REMOVED. IN ADDITION, THE TRUNK LID WASN'T ADJUSTED PROPERLY, SO IT CONTINUALLY FALLS DOWN WHEN I'M AT THE TRUNK AREA. NOW I AM WONDERING IF MY NEW CAR WAS NOT ONLY NOT "DETAILED," BUT NOT PROPERLY INSPECTED BEFORE "DELIVERY." FURTHERMORE, AT 16,000 MILES, IT NOW HAS A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE FRONT END. THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL). *TR

I WAS STOPPED - WAS HIT HEAD ON BY AN OUT OF CONTROL DRIVER WHOSE CAR SPUN AROUND, HIT MY CAR ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND PUSHED ME INTO A STONE WALL DAMAGING THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE ALSO. THE AIRBAG ON MY CAR (DRIVER'S SIDE) DEPLOYED AND I GOT SECOND DEGREE BURNS ON MY WRISTS AND ARMS FROM THE AIRBAG AND AM NOW BEING TREATED AT A BURN CENTER FOR SECOND DEGREE BURNS. I HAD GLOVES ON AND THE BURN WENT THROUGH THE GLOVES PUTTING HOLES IN THEM. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE CRASH CAUSING OVER $11,000.00 DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY MEDICAL BILLS ARE. I FEEL THIS AIRBAG HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE. IT ALSO CONCERNS ME THAT MY CAR WAS HIT HEAD ON AND ON BOTH SIDES AND ONLY THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEPLOYED.

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD IN MAY 2014 IN AUSTIN, TX. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER, THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING AND LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEMS FAILED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THE CAMERAS WERE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE HEAT IN TEXAS. THEY SUGGESTED A FIX OF TURNING THE AC ON TO COOL THE FRONT WINDOW. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THAT SEEMED TO FIX IT, BUT IT WAS ONLY VERY TEMPORARY. THESE SYSTEMS ARE ADVERTISED TO BE LIFE-SAVING SAFETY FEATURES, BUT THEY STILL DON'T WORK AFTER MORE THAN 6 MONTHS.

I WAS GETTING SERVICE DONE ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC RECALL HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2014/03/FREE-ENGINE-REPLACEMENT-FOR-2006-2009-HONDA-CIVICS/INDEX.HTM. I WAS GIVEN 2014 HONDA ACCORD AS A LOANER VEHICLE FOR THE PERIOD MY CAR WAS GETTING FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR 3 DAYS. HOWEVER, ON JAN 6TH 2015, WE HAD SNOW IN OUR AREA AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS BELOW FREEZING. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK ON JAN 7TH, I HAD BACKED OUT THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND WHEN I TURNED ON TO OUR STREET, I HAD NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL A BIT STIFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SNOW ON THE GROUND THAT HAD MADE IT LITTLE DIFFICULT TO TURN. AS I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ON OUR STREET AT SPEED LESS THAN 10 MPH, I CAME TO THE FIRST TURN THAT I MAKE TO GET TO THE STREET LEADING UP TO THE MAIN STREET. AS I TRIED TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN, I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND DUE TO SNOW IT STARTED SKIDDING TO MY LEFT. AT SPEED OF LESS THAN 15 MPH AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, THE VEHICLE SKID TO THE LEFT PAVEMENT. IT CAUSED MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE FRONT LEFT RIM AND CAUSED THE ALIGNMENT TO BE OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS A LOANER VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED WITH GETTING 'FRONT SUSPENSION' AND 'STEERING GEAR & LINKAGE' REPLACED THROUGH MY INSURANCE. IT COST ME $750 AS DEDUCTIBLE COST THAT I'VE PAID TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON RESEARCHING THIS EVENT FURTHER ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT SIMILAR COMPLAINT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR 2013 (MY LOANER VEHICLE IS 2014 MODEL) HONDA ACCORDS THAT HAD SURFACED IN NOV 2014 (HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM466318/INOA-PE14033-1232.PDF).

AS I WAS CHANGING LANE AT AROUND 45 MPH ON A SLIGHTLY BENDING RAMP (ARTHURSBURG RD) TO A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY (TACONIC STATE PARKWAY SOUTH BOUND, NEW YORK), MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS JERKED TO THE LEFT/RIGHT FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. MY VEHICLE RAN FROM THE RAMP LANE TO THE SIDE OF THE INNER LANE. I WAS TRYING TO STEER AWAY FROM THE INNER LANE TO AVOID A CLASH WITH A MOVING SUV IN THE INNER LANE, BUT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. INITIALLY, IT SEEMS THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK EITHER. AT THE FINAL MOMENT, I PRESSED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO AVOID A CLASH WITH THE SUV IN INNER LANE. MY CAR STOPPED. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOT ANY VEHICLE AT OUTER LANE. ALL CARS BEHIND ME NOTICED THE SITUATION AND STOPPED. OTHERWISE, A MAJOR ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR. *TR
WE SMELLED FUEL WHEN DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A SUNDAY. THINKING IT WAS SOME LEFTOVER FUEL SPLASHED, WE CONTINUED BUT THEN THE SMELL BECAME REALLY INTENSE. SO WE TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TOWARD HOME. UPON ENTERING OUR STREET, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STALLED TOTALLY OUT AND CAME TO A STOP IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! WE ROLLED IT OVER TO THE SIDE, IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET; THEN STARTED CAR AGAIN AND WENT SLOWLY DOWNHILL TO THE HOUSE; CAR STALLED AGAIN JUST OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE, WE COULD NOT GET IT INTO DRIVEWAY, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL; WE PUSHED IT TO GET IT PARKED ON THE STREET. TRIED AGAIN LATER THAT DAY TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL AND GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO THE STREET. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER NEXT DAY; AFTER TECHNICIANS EXAMINED THE CAR THEY CONCLUDED "RODENT DAMAGE" TO THE FUEL LINE LEADING TO THE FUEL TANK. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE DAMAGE AS IT "WASN'T MANUFACTURER DEFECT." ALSO CALLED NATIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPENED A CASE; BUT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE EITHER TO COVER ANYTHING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE WEREN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS SUDDENLY STALLED OUT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AS THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH NO WARNING! THE FUEL LINE LAST PORTION LEADING INTO THE TANK IS MADE OF RUBBER, IT IS NOT METAL OR HARD PLASTIC LIKE THE REST OF THE LINE AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO SOMETHING SHARP PUNCTURING IT--WHICH IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN OUR VIEW. THE NEW PART THEY PUT ON IS SAME AS THE OLD, THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE IS NO SHIELD UNDER THE FUEL TANK AREA TO KEEP THINGS FROM UNDERNEATH GETTING UP IN THERE. HONDA SHOULD AT LEAST COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR (WE PAID $684.09), CAR IS ALMOST BRAND NEW. AND WE BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, CAR CAN SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR
TRUNK OPENS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN BOTH KEYS ARE 50 FEET OR SO FROM THE CAR AND NO ONE IS NEAR THEM. OBVIOUSLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT DOES MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN THE TRUNK. HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WON'T HAPPEN WHILE THEY ARE STANDING THERE LOOKING AT THE CAR. SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO OWN THE SAME TYPE OF HONDA ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, INCLUDING AT HOME WHERE MY KEY IS HANGING ON A HOOK AND NOT IN MY POCKET (ELIMINATED ACCIDENTAL PRESSES AS A CAUSE). HONDA SERVICE CENTER REPLACED THE TRUNK LATCH AND CABLE, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS WERE TOO DIM AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.
WHILE DRIVING MY NEW HONDA, I NOTICED AN ODOR SIMILAR TO A GAS SMELL, SORT OF LIKE A PILOT ON WITH NO FLAME WHEN THE HEAT IS ON, THE ODOR COMES AND GOES. THE ODOR IS SO BAD AT TIMES THAT IT UPSETS MY STOMACH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HONDA TO HAVE IT CHECKED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014, AND, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE ODOR ARRIVED FOR A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN DISSIPATED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM DOES STILL OCCUR. *JS
TRUNK LID POPS OPEN SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING OFF...RED LIGHT ON DASHBOARD COMES ON...I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND CLOSE THE LID MANUALLY. SAME THING HAPPENS ERRATICALLY IN PARKED CONDITION..HAVE NOTICED TRUNK LID OPEN AFTER RETURNING TO THE PARKING LOT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT FAIRLY OFTEN....HAVE CHECKED MY KEY FOR PROPER OPERATION. IT OPENS THE TRUNK LID AFTER PRESSING FOR A SECOND OR SO. *TR
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT WITH ONLY 5687 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID DRIVING OVER THE CONCRETE BARRIER. I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, WHICH DISSIPATES AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY EXPERIENCE. *TR
I BOUGHT MY 2014 HONDA CIVIC EXL NEW IN FEB 2014, AND EVER SINCE NEW THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARE AT THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS, AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND OVER DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROADWAYS. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA TO RESISTER A CASE NUMBER WITH THEM. HONDA AMERICA INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED AGAIN BY THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, OVERNIGHT, SO THEIR TECHNICIANS CAN WORK IN CONCERT WITH THE DEALERSHIPS TECHNICIANS. WHATEVER THEY DID, DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION AS THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK. HONDA AMERICA THEN HAD ME BRING MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, AGAIN OVERNIGHT. ONCE AGAIN THE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A WEEK. HONDA AMERICA NOW TELLS ME, AFTER 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO REMEDY THE MALFUNCTIONING TPMS SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE.
I WOULD LIKE TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CURRENT HEADRESTS IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD - I AM 5 FOOT 5 AND CAN'T SIT IN THE SEAT FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES WITHOUT EXPERIENCING NECK PAIN. THE HEADREST ANGLE IS TOO FAR FORWARD AND DOES NOT ALIGN WITH MY SPINE. IT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. IT BECOMES VERY PAINFUL OVER TIME, AND NO SEAT ADJUSTMENT CAN MAKE IT BETTER. I HAD THE PROBLEM IN THE 2013 4 DOOR SEDAN AND OE IN MY 2014 2 DOOR COUP. THE ONLY ADJUSTMENT IS HEIGHT. WHEN I LOWER IT TO PROTECT MY HEAD AND NECK I HAVE TO RECLINE THE SEAT WHERE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE. *TR
DEAR SIR OR MADAM, I WOULD LIKE TO LODGE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CURRENT HEADRESTS IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD (AND MANY SIMILAR SEDANS.) I AM 5 FOOT 3 AND CAN'T SIT IN THE SEAT FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES WITHOUT EXPERIENCING NECK PAIN. THE HEADREST ANGLE IS TOO FAR FORWARD AND DOES NOT ALIGN WITH MY SPINE. IT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD. IT BECOMES VERY PAINFUL OVER TIME, AND NO SEAT ADJUSTMENT CAN MAKE IT BETTER. HONDA AND OTHER AR COMPANIES TELL ME THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRES THAT THEY INSTALL HEADRESTS AT THIS ANGLE TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST SAFETY RATING. BUT WHAT GOOD IS THAT IF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE IN PAIN? I REALIZE THAT THIS ANGLE MAY WORK FOR PEOPLE TALLER THAN ME, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE BETWEEN 5 FEET AND 5'5 AND THE CAR COMPANIES NEED THE ABILITY TO MAKE ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS, OR SELECTABLE HEADRESTS WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING THEIR SAFETY RATINGS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP SUFFERING DRIVERS LIKE ME. (MY ONLY OPTIONS ARE TO REMOVE THE HEADREST ALTOGETHER, OR TURN IT BACKWARDS, WHICH SURELY IS NOT SAFE.) I TRIED TEN CARS BEFORE BUYING THE HONDA ACCORD. ALL THE OTHER HEADRESTS WERE EVEN WORSE! (ONLY EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE CARS AND MORE SEEM TO OFFER HORIZONTALLY ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS. I CANNOT AFFORD A $50,000 CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. PLEASE CHANGE THE GUIDELINES.

SIMILAR TO NHTSA COMPLAINTS #10619205, #10607907, #10655300, #10630708, AND #10628501. DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE, GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A LARGE INCLINE AND BEGAN ACCELERATING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. AFTER OVER 10 MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON. ALTHOUGH I COULD FEEL THAT PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT FEEL THE SAME, AND IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HESITATING AND STRUGGLING TO SWITCH GEARS UP AND ACCELERATE. ON 8/29/2014, AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE, WHILE AGAIN IN CRUISE CONTROL (ECO BOOST WAS NOT ACTIVE), GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES LATER, WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH A MESSAGE STATING ?FCW SYSTEM FAILED.? THE FCW INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD, AS WELL AS THE LDW LIGHT, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM INDICATOR, AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) SYSTEM INDICATOR. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR OR IT COULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER 3 SERVICE CALLS, HONDA'S RESPONSE IS ONLY "CANNOT REPLICATE, SO THERE IS NO PROBLEM." THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JS
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR HONDA ACCORD 2014 LAST APRIL 18,ON AUGUST ,SUDDENLY IT DIDN'T START,I CALLED AAA TO CHECK BATTERY BUT AAA SAID, ITS NOT THE BATTERY ITS MORE THAN THAT. MY CAR WAS TOWED FROM NY TO NJ -ROUTE 22HONDA(WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR),THEY DID SOME REPAIR-ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT,THEN LAST NOV.2,I HAVE DIFFICULTY IN STARTING THE CAR AGAIN,FINALLY AFTER SO MANY TRIES IT STARTED AND I BROUGHT THE CAR AGAIN TO ROUTE 22 ,THEY DID REPAIR AGAIN-SENSOR REPLACEMENT. YESTERDAY NOV 15,IT DIDN'T START AT ALL EVEN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WINTER IS HERE AND ITS NOT GOOD FOR MY JOB AS A NURSE. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR
MY ACCELERATION CONDITIONS/PROBLEMS ARE IDENTICAL TO NHTSA ID #10607907 & SEVERAL OTHERS. UPON ACCELERATION THERE IS A SEVERE HESITATION TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING BEFORE IT ACCELERATES. AT 15000 MILES IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A SERVICE REP THIS WAS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AND NOT CABLE CONTROLLED AS IN THE PAST. THERE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A FIX TO THIS AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. *TR
SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAUSES MUSCLE AND NERVE PAIN IN THE RIGHT LEG AND LOWER BACK PAIN AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES. THE SEAT ALSO AFFECTS THE SCIATICA NERVE. NO MATTER THE ADJUSTMENTS MADE ON THE SEAT, IT DOES NOT STOP. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET WITH THE 2014 ACCORD. *TR
ON OCTOBER 22 , 2014 I DROVE FROM MY HOME TO MY OFFICE, APPROX 30 MINUTES. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS ABOUT FREEZING OR HIGH 30'S. BY THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT GET HOT EVEN ON HIGHEST SETTING OF HEAT. IT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. I CALLED GWINNETTT PLACE HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 1 2014. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO HOURS ONLY TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ON THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6, THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN. ON SATURDAY I STILL FELT COLD AIR, SO I CALLED GWINNETT PLACE HONDA . THEY ADVISED ME TO GO TO ANY DEALER, SO I WAS CLOSET TO HONDA MALL OF GA . THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING BUT, WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE CAR FOR A LONGER TIME. I TOOK IT BACK TO GWINNETT PLACE AS IT WAS CLOSET TO MY HOME. ON THE RIDE IN WHICH IS ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE HEAT WAS STILL NOT HOT.. HONDA HAS HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE MONDAY NOV 10,2014. AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HONDA REGARDING THE STATUS. IT'S 8:30PM EST ON THURSDAY NOV 13' 2014. *TR
RODENT DAMAGE TO GAS LINE, EMISSION SYSTEM, GAS TANK, AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS IN AN ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR (NOT STORED). LEADING TO MAJOR GAS LEAK (HALF A TANK OF GAS IN A DURATION OF A STANDSTILL AT RED LIGHT) THAT PLACED DRIVERS, PASSENGERS, PEDESTRIANS, AND BYSTANDERS' LIFE AT RISK. WOULD'VE LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENDING IF EXHAUST WAS HOT. GAS SPILLED OVER STRETCH OF 2 BLOCKS, MAJORITY CONCENTRATING AT INTERSECTION BETWEEN HEATH AND MAIN ST. BUFFALO NY, WHICH REQUIRED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO CLEAN UP. 911 WAS CONTACTED FOR PATCHES OF FLAMMABLE GASOLINE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN IGNITED FOR NUMEROUS REASONS LEADING TO FATALITY. REASON FOR FILING COMPLIANT. VEHICLE WHICH THIS HAPPENED TO WAS A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED IN JUNE 2014. REPAIRS DENIED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND AMERICA HONDA. STATING ACCIDENT EVENTS LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED, AND IS NOT A MECHANICAL DEFECT. TWO CONSERVATIVE REPAIR REQUIRED, STILL NOT FIXED. DYSFUNCTIONAL CAR FOR A PERIOD OF 6 DAYS AND COUNTING. FOR RODENT DAMAGE TO OCCUR IN A BRAND NEW, ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR IS INDICATIVE OF OBVIOUS FLAWS IN THE DESIGN ITSELF. 1. THE MACHINERY WAS EXPOSED AND UNPROTECTED. 2. THE QUALITY OF BUILT MATERIAL WAS SUBSTANDARD FOR IT TO BE DAMAGED IN A OVERNIGHT SITUATION BY SOME "RODENT" NO LARGER THAN THOSE THAT CAN FIT IN, AND MANEUVER, WITHIN A CONFINED SPACE (SERIOUSLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE A RODENT WOULD RANDOMLY CHOOSE MY CAR ON THE STREET TO SQUEEZE INTO AND JUST BIT A WIRE (NUMEROUS WIRES) WITHOUT PURPOSES OF BUILDING A NEWS OR FOR FOOD). 3. DISPROPORTION BETWEEN THE PRICE PAID FOR THE CAR AND THE QUALITY OF SERVICE WHICH FOLLOWED IT. *TR
AT NIGHT, WHEN I AM UTILIZING MY REGULAR HEADLIGHTS ON A DIMLY LIGHT ROAD, MY FRONT WINDSHIELD BECOMES PARTLY OBSCURED. IT IS AS IF EITHER A MESH SHADE HAS BEEN PULLED ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN MY FRONT WINDSHIELD OR SUDDENLY I HAVE TINTING ON THE UPPER HALF OF THE WINDOW. THIS OBSCURES MY VISION AND I SOMETIMES FEEL AS IF I NEED TO TRY TO LOOK UNDER THIS OBSCURITY TO SEE THE DISTANT PART OF THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESPERSON THAT IT MAY BE THE RESULT OF THE TYPE OF FRONT HEADLIGHT NOW BEING INSTALLED. *TR
AS I WAS INCHING INTO A PARKING SPACE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTING RACING AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. BEFORE I COULD PUT ON ENOUGH BRAKING POWER TO STOP IT, I HIT A POLE CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE.THIS RACING HAS OCCURRED ON A NUMBER OF PREVIOUS OCCASIONS BUT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR BEFORE ANY DAMAGE WAS DONE. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP ME. *TR
CAUTION, BE CAREFUL - MY CAR STOPPED WHEN THE START BUTTON WAS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING. THE START BUTTON IS NEAR MY KNEE AND AN ACCIDENTAL PRESS CAUSED MY MOVING CAR TO SHUT DOWN - FORTUNATELY I WAS JUST STARTING AND ONLY GOING 5 MPH. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY KNEE HIT THE START BUTTON WHILE GOING 65 IN TRAFFIC.. THE DEALER SAID THAT IS NORMAL!! *TR
FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. IT MAY TAKE ANOTHER TRY TO GET THE ENGINE TO RESPOND. THIS MAINLY OCCURS WHEN I NEED RAPID ACCELERATION FROM A STOP TO QUICKLY GET INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE FLY-BY-WIRE ACCELERATOR TAKES TIME TO COORDINATE WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS. *TR
WHEN A CAR HAS AIR BAGS YOU NEVER KNOW IF THEY WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE A CRASH. WITH FCW, IF YOU DRIVE SAFELY THE ALARM SHOULD NEVER GO OFF. WITH OUR CAR THE FCW ALARM RARELY SOUNDS BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL IF YOU WERE GOING ABOUT 25 MPH OR LESS AND A CAR CLOSE AHEAD WOULD BE STOPPING OR TURNING RIGHT. MOST TIMES OUR FCW WOULD NOT SOUND BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOT FALSE SIGNALS AND YOU WONDERED WHY. AFTER TWO DEALER VISITS AND ONE FOR 3 1/2 DAYS THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE EXCEPT NOW WE DO NOT GET FALSE SIGNALS. THE HONDA LITERATURE SAYS OF FCW "..CAN SENSE THE PRESENCE OF VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU AND ISSUES ALERTS IF IT CALCULATES YOU ARE AT RISK OF A COLLISION.." THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WHAT WE EXPECT. AFTER THE SECOND DEALER VISIT AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE, THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND I DROVE OUR VEHICLE AND AT TIMES DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO A VEHICLE AHEAD INCLUDING LARGE TRUCKS AND THE FCW ALARM DID NOT SOUND. WE TRIED A VERY SIMILAR NEW CAR OFF THE LOT LIKE MINE AND DROVE IT THE SAME WAY. THE FCW DID NOT WORK AS EXPECTED. PER A SHEET THE DEALER GAVE ME FOR FCW, IT STATES THAT IT USES RADAR WITH A RANGE OF UP TO 393 FT. IF A CAR IS GOING UP TO 75 MPH WITH A CAR LENGTH (20') FOR EVERY 10 MPH FCW SHOULD SOUND THE ALARM UP TO 150' AND GOING FASTER THAN THE CAR AHEAD. OURS WILL NOT DO THAT AT ANY SPEED BELOW 75 AND GETTING TOO CLOSE GOING FASTER THAN THE ONE AHEAD UNTIL GOING ABOUT 25 OR UNDER THEN NOT ALWAYS. I SAY OUR FCW DOES NOT WORK. WHEN DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE DEALER AND A FACTORY REP THE SERVICE MANAGER NOW SAYS "IT IS YOUR PERCEPTION FCW DOES NOT WORK." I SAY FCW DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND BUYERS ARE BEING DECEIVED. WITH SELF DRIVING CARS AND ACC IS SHOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR HONDA TO FIX OR REPLACE OUR FCW SO THAT IT DOES WORK AND PURPORTED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO WARN OTHERS AND FIX IT. I WELCOME INSPECTORS TO TEST OUR FCW SYSTEM. *TR
THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THAT I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. I FINALLY GOT MY CAR INSPECTED A THIRD TIME AFTER CONTACTING HONDA CORPORATE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE RESET. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT. AFTER AN ALIGNMENT AND THE STEERING WHEEL RESET, THE VEHICLE STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY ARE REALLY USELESS. THEIR MOTTO "HELPFUL HONDA" IS THE BIGGEST LOAD HOT AIR EVER. THEY ARE HAVING SOMEONE FROM HONDA CORPORATE COME TO INSPECT THE CAR NOW. BUT THEY REFUSE TO WORK WITH ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME FOR IT TO BE BROUGHT FOR SERVICE. THE CAR IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 7000 MILES. ALL HONDA HAD TO SAY WAS TO CONTACT A THIRD PARTY. HEPLFUL, WAS NOTHING CLOSE TO THE SERVICE AND TREATMENT I RECEIVED FROM HONDA SO FAR. *TR
WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE IS A CLICKING SOUND MADE. *TR
THE DRIVERS SEAT IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO AND ALMOST GOT INTO A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS TRYING TO RE-ADJUST THE PILLOW BEHIND MY BACK. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
PUSH-BUTTON START/STOP TYPE VEHICLE ("KEYLESS") WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF IN DRIVE, THE CAR ROLLS. *TR
THE CAR IS NOT GETTING THE ADVERTISED GAS MILEAGE. I AM ONLY GETTING 21 TO 22 MPG WHICH STINK. THE CAR BACKS UP WHEN IN PARK ALSO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PLEASE. THE BOTTOM UNDER THE CAR IS NOT FINISHED OFF. ONE OTHER THING IS THAT THE BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT VERY CLEAR AND YOU CANNOT SEE PROPERLY AND HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR TO CHECK ALL THE TIME. THE BACK END IS UP TOO HIGH. *TR
THE TRUNK FELL ON MY HEAD AND MY GRANDMOTHERS HEAD. IT DID NOT HURT WHEN IT FELL ON MY HEAD BUT MY GRANDMOTHER WAS IN PAIN WHEN IT FELL ON HERS. I LIVE ON A SLOPED DRIVEWAY, SO ANY TIME I OPEN MY TRUNK IT DOESN'T STAY OPEN AND FALLS RIGHT DOWN. IT STAYED OPEN A FEW TIMES, BUT WOULD THEN RANDOMLY COME FALLING DOWN. I CAN'T UNLOAD MY GROCERIES PROPERLY, I CAN'T LOAD MY TRUNK UP PROPERLY, IT'S VERY DISTURBING. ALSO, I TOOK IT TO TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID 'IT WAS FINE' AND 'NOTHING WAS WRONG.' ONE EVEN SUGGESTED I USED A BROOM TO KEEP THE TRUNK OPEN (WHICH IS ABSURD BECAUSE IT'S A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD. BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO THE CAR REPAIR SHOP ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL AND SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRUNK. *TR
AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF DRIVING MY NEW 2014 HONDA, I FELT THE CAR SWAYING AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE INSPECTED IN AUGUST BECAUSE THE PULLING BECAME VERY SEVERE EVEN WHEN DRIVING 30MPH I COULD FEEL IT. THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND READJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT. THE CAR DROVE MUCH BETTER. A MONTH LATER NOW I FEEL THE CAR START TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE BUT STILL NOTICEABLE. I TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM BUT THEY SAID ITS FROM THE CROWN IN THE ROAD. NONE OF MY OTHER CARS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACT HONDA CORPORATE AND WAITING TO BE CONTACTED. I HAD TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUEST THE SERVICE DIRECTOR BECAUSE I FELT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS. *TR
I DROVE THE BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD SON ON HIGH WAY 93 SOUTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. IT WAS FRIDAY NOON TIME, BUSY IN HIGH WAY. I FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TRIED TO CHANGED TO SLOW LANE. THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WITH ERROR CODE INSTEAD OF "D" IN THE PANEL. THERE WAS BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME. I PULLED IT OVER. IT WAS WITHIN 24 HOUR AFTER WE PICKED UP THE CAR. IT WAS SCARY EXPERIENCE! LUCKILY, WE ARE SAFE! EVEN LUCKIER, IT HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE IT, NOT MY 20 YEAR OLD, INEXPERIENCED CHILD DROVE. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IT OCCURRED WHILE HE DROVE. DEALER TOLD US IT WAS REGULATOR IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM BROKEN. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AS A SOLUTION. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUME NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND REQUIRED FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,833.
JUST PURCHASED MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH MANY SMALL HILLS. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BE OUT OF FOCUS, NOT ILLUMINATING OBJECTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHIN 25 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE, NOR CAN YOU SEE STREET SIGNS WITHIN THAT DISTANCE. WORSE, WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN THE SMALL HILLS THE ROADWAY VISIBILITY CHANGES RAPIDLY DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE CAR, OFTEN DROPPING THE VISIBILITY TO A SCARY 10-50 FEET AT 55 MPH. YES, YOU CAN USE YOU HIGH BEAMS TO HELP "IF CONDITIONS PERMIT". NEVERTHELESS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND UNDOUBTEDLY UNSAFE! I DID NOTIFY HONDA AMERICA AND OPEN A CASE #N012014-08-2801669, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE, AS THAT WAS THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY!!!! *TR
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) AUDIO CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE DEFAULT SETTING IS VERY LOW AND THEREFORE DIFFICULT TO HEAR. DURING AN UNINTENDED LANE DEPARTURE THE WARNING SYSTEM COULD NOT BE HEARD WHILE RADIO WAS ON. UPON APPROACHING A STOPPED VEHICLE THE AUDIO WARNING COULD NOT BE HEARD WITH RADIO ON. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASED IN ENGINE RPMS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW METER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.
EXCESSIVE FIXED HEADREST TILT FORWARD. SITTING SOMEWHAT UPRIGHT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT TILT THE NECK AND HEAD FORWARD CAN CAUSE NECK AND UPPER BACK PAIN. A HEADREST THAT CAN TILT FORWARD AND BACKWARD WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
THE DRIVERS SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE I HAVE EXPERIENCED SCIATIC NERVE PAIN DOWN MY LEG, SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN AND PELVIC NUMBNESS. THE DESIGN OF THE BOTTOM AND UPRIGHT PORTION OF THE SEAT ARE NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT A DRIVER CORRECTLY. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES I AM CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE AND TAKING A LOSS. I LOVE THE HONDA PRODUCT BUT THEY SHOULD MAKE CAPTURED TERRORIST DRIVE THIS CAR INSTEAD OF WATERBOARDING. *TR
HIT A SMALL POTHOLE AT LESS THAN 10 MPH APPROACHING INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THEN TIRE MASSIVE FAILURE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN SPEEDING UP TO 70 MPH NEARLY CAUSING FIRE. HAVE DRIVEN 50 YEARS AND HIT MANY POTHOLES WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR
I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD SPORT. IT HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM ALMOST ANY SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I AM NERVOUS IF I HAVE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR ANY REASON, AND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY CAN BE TOUGH TOO. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LIST THIS SAME ISSUE ON HERE, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE TERRIBLE AT NIGHT. I HAVE PERFECT VISION, UNCORRECTED, AND STILL THERE IS LIKE A STRAIGHT DARK BAR ACROSS WHERE THE TOP OF THE HEADLIGHTS REACH AND NOTHING IS VISIBLE ABOVE THAT POINT. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE A LITTLE BETTER BUT YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T ALWAYS DRIVE WITH THEM ON. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
SO FAR, NO ACCIDENT, BUT THIS TREND TO DISABLE ACCESS TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, EVEN BY A PASSENGER IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN PREVIOUSLY. IT'S HIGHLY DISTRACTING TRYING TO USE VOICE NAVIGATION AND IT ALWAYS DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL. THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO USE A SEPARATE HAND HELD GPS OR SMART PHONE, WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY MORE DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A CONTROLLED STUDY THAT DEMONSTRATES DISABLING NAVIGATION ACCESS WHILE DRIVING IS SAFER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE? HAVING USED FACTORY NAVIGATION SYSTEMS FOR OVER 12 YEARS, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT DISABLING NAVIGATION SYSTEMS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IS MORE DANGEROUS, AND REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IF ALTERNATIVE ROUTES ARE REQUIRED IN AN EMERGENCY. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF YOU ARE LOST IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD, OR SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING YOU? YOU DON'T DARE PULL OVER AND STOP. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS FURTHER ATTENTION. *TR
I HAD JUST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY CLEARED A "FCW SYSTEM FAILED" MESSAGE AND I ENTERED THE INTERSTATE. WHILE TRAVELING IN THE LANE ADJACENT TO THE FAR LEFT AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 68 MPH, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED, THE FCW SYSTEM FAILED MESSAGE RETURNED, ALL EMERGENCY ICONS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AND MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE HAD NO RESPONSE AND WAS SITTING AT IDLE WHILE I DECELERATED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT UNDERWENT 3 DAYS OF SERVICE FOR WHAT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAILED ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. THE DAY AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THE CAR, WITHOUT SYMPTOMS OR WARNING, AGAIN VIOLENTLY JERKED, LOST ACCELERATION, AND DISPLAYED THE SAME SYSTEM FAILED MESSAGE. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 8 DAYS AND THE ECU AND MAIN WIRING HARNESS ARE BEING REPLACED. *TR
2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE DESIGN AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLES EXPANDED VIEW MIRROR. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE VEHICLE DISTORTION RELATED TO THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF VEHICLES AS THEY APPEARED IN THE EXPANDED VIEW DRIVER'S MIRROR, GENERATING A PERSPECTIVE WHERE ONE VEHICLE APPEARED AS TWO VEHICLES. ALSO, VEHICLES TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION APPEARED TO SWERVE AS THEIR IMAGE ENTERED AND EXITED THE EXPANDED VIEW DRIVER'S MIRROR. VEHICLES IN THE FAR LEFT LANE APPEARED LESS THAN HALF THEIR ACTUAL SIZE AND AT TIMES, SEEMED AS IF THEY WERE RIGHT NEXT TO HIS VEHICLE. *JB
THE DRIVER DOOR LEAKS WATER INSIDE. IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME! WHEN EVER THERE IS HEAVY RAIN AND I OPEN THE CAR DOOR THERE IS LOT OF WATER BETWEEN DOOR AND DOOR PANELS. I READ ONLINE AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA. *TR
CAME OUT ONE MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND FOUND ALL FOUR CAR WINDOWS AND SUNROOF SLIGHTLY OPENED. THE W J NODES AND SUNROOF OPENED BY THEMSELVES. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT NIGHT WHICH RAIN ENTERED THE CAR. IT'S A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING GOING BACK 7 YEARS THAT PEOPLE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WERE OPENED WITHOUT THEM DOING SO. IT'S BEEN OCCURRING IN HONDA AND ACURA MODELS. THEY TRY TO SAY THAT WE MUST HAVE DONE IT BY THE REMOTE; BUT I DON'T USE THE REMOTE, I USE THE CAR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE BLACK BUTTON TO LOCK AND SECURE THE DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND NOT A CONSUMER ISSUE. *TR
I CAN'T HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL CLICKER. DEALER SAID ALL OF THESE HONDA ACCORDS ARE LIKE THAT. IF I MAKE A WIDE TYPE TURN, THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND I MAY HAVE DRIVEN A MILE OR TWO BEFORE I REALIZE THE SIGNAL IS STILL ON. I DO WEAR NEW HEARING AIDS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED IS THERE A GOV'T STANDARD FOR THE CLICKER SOUND? *JS
HONDA ACCORD EX-L 2014 WILL SHUT-OFF AND COAST TO A STOP IF THE "START PUSH BUTTON" IS PRESSED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SHOULD BE IN PARK BEFORE PRESSING THE START BUTTON HAS ANY AFFECT !! WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, I PLACED MY HAND ON MY RIGHT KNEE AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE "START PUSH BUTTON" AND TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR SHUT-OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. I COULD NOT RESTART UNTIL I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK.. DANGEROUS !! I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE WHEN MY HAND GOING TO MY RIGHT KNEE HIT THE START BUTTON, THE CAR STOPPED!. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING LESS THAN 5MPH SO NO ACCIDENT. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS - JUST LIKE IF YOU REMOVE YOUR KEYS WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER YOU CAN NOT REMOVE YOUR KEYS UNLESS THE CAR IS IN PARK AND THE KEY IS TURNED FROM RUN. *TR
THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING A VERY HESITANT ACCELERATION UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STOPPING. THIS HAS CONTINUED NOW WITH JUST OVER 1,000 MILES. CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY A MAINTENANCE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THEM, BUT THERE IS NO FIX KNOWN. THE PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU CAN NOT DEPEND ON THE CAR ACCELERATING WHEN NEEDED. IT DOES NOT HAVE RELIABLE ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. I WAS TOLD BY THE MAINTENANCE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE CAR IS A FLY-BY- WIRE AND HAS NO THROTTLE CABLE ANY LONGER, BUT IS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER. HE ASSURED ME THERE WAS NO FIX KNOWN NOR DID HONDA CORP INFORM THEM OF A PROBLEM OR A FIX. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS CONDITION AND HAVE NO FEELING OF RELIABILITY WITH THE CAR'S ACCELERATION. *TR
I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW. AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS, I REALIZED THAT THE STEERING WAS PULLING THE CAR TO THE LEFT, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT WOULD TAKE LEFT CURVES IN THE ROAD UNASSISTED BY ME. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES, THEY GAVE IT A FEW ALIGNMENTS, AND SINCE THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, THEY DENY THAT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM AT ALL. THE CAR IS DEFINITELY A LEMON, AND I AM WONDERING IF OTHER 2014 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AS I MUST BE CONSTANTLY VIGILANT OR THE CAR WILL GO OFF THE ROAD TO THE LEFT. I AM TRYING TO GET SOME JUSTICE THROUGH THE NY LEMON LAW BECAUSE HONDA HA TAKEN MY MONEY AND DELIVERED TO ME A DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS CAR. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER HAD A CHROME COVERING AND WHEN THE SUN SHINED DIRECTLY ON IT, IT WOULD BLIND THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SHE SAW WHITE SPOTS AND WAS UNABLE TO VIEW WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF HER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,540.
THE EXTERIOR PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX-L ARE VERY UNSAFE AS YOU CAN NOT SEE ABOVE THE BRAKE LINE. THERE ISN'T ANY AMBIANCE LIGHTING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ANY PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS, ANIMALS OR SIGNAGE THAT IS ABOVE OR ON THE SIDES OF THAT LINE. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE HEADLIGHTS ARE AIMED TO THEIR SPECIFICATIONS. I BROUGHT IN VIDEO THAT SHOWS THE ISSUE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT HONDA DOESN'T HAVE A SOLUTION. SHE NOTICED IT ON HER OWN CAR. ALSO AFTER TALKING TO OTHER 2014 HONDA OWNERS THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WOULD COMPLAIN. I FIND THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MIGHT CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR EVEN DEATHS AND THOUGHT IT VITAL TO REPORT IT. I SENT THE COMPLAINT DIRECTLY TO HONDA AND THEY HAVE NO PLANS ON FIXING IT. I FEEL CAUGHT AS THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WE AS CONSUMERS CAN DO TO FIX IT ON A BRAND NEW CAR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO READ THAT SOMEONE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL ROAD AND WEST 25TH ST. INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. I WAS DRIVING NORTH INSIDE LANE OF 5 LANE HIGH SCHOOL ROAD. DRIVER AT FAULT CROSSED 2 NORTH BOUND LANES FOR SOUTH BOUND MIDDLE TURNING LANE FROM W 25TH STREET WHICH TEES INTO HIGH SCHOOL ROAD. I BROAD-SIDED DRIVER IN BACK SIDE DOOR/FENDER/TRUNK AREAS. THE AIRBAG EXPLODED AND SHEARED THE SKIN OFF MY RIGHT UNDER ARM. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND CONTINUE RECEIVING TREATMENT FROM MY DOCTOR. THIS CRASH INCIDENT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED BY NHTSA AND HONDA SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT. *TR UPDATED 1/22/2015 *JS
I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD EX, 4 DOOR SEDAN ON MAY 26, 2014. ON JUNE 1, 2014, I WAS AT RED TRAFFIC LIGHT (ZERO MILE SPEED) AND CAR WAS IN DRIVE POSITION. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE, BUT BY MISTAKE I PRESSED THE START ENGINE SWITCH BUTTON INSTEAD OF CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE SWITCH, WHICH IS JUST NEXT TO ENGINE SWITCH. SURPRISINGLY THE RESULT WAS THAT MY CAR TURNED OFF. ON JUNE 2, 2014, I CONTACTED HONDA DIRECTLY AND THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE AT STREET OR HIGHWAY SPEED AND IF YOU PRESS THE START SWITCH FOR 2 SECONDS, THE CAR ENGINE WILL TURN OFF AT WHATEVER THE SPEED OF CAR IS, RESULTING IN YOUR CAR SPEED CHANGE, IF YOU PRESS THE POWER SWITCH AND IT WILL TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE TO 0 MPH IN A MATTER OF A SECOND. I AM VERY SCARED ABOUT THIS SAFETY FEATURE AND NOW HAVE MANY CONCERNS, AS LISTED BELOW: 1.WHY IS THE START SWITCH SO CLOSE TO THE AIR-CONDITION CONTROL SWITCH? 2.THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVING MODE. 3.SINCE ALL OF THE CONTROLS ARE BY RIGHT HAND, THE ENGINE SWITCH SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, SO IT CANNOT TURN OFF, EVEN BY MISTAKE, AND NO ONE IN THE CAR CAN REACH THIS SWITCH EXCEPT THE DRIVER. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE IS NEEDED PLEASE REPLY TO ME AT YOUR CONVENIENCE, THANK YOU. *TR
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
2014 HONDA ACCORD EX-L. THIS IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVER'S SEAT I HAVE EVER BEEN IN. I CAN NOT GET COMFORTABLE NO MATTER WHAT ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE. I'M DEVELOPING EXTREME LOWER BACK PAIN AFTER EVERY DRIVE OF 20 MINUTES OR MORE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE HEADREST BEING TOO FAR FORWARD OR IF IT'S BECAUSE THERE IS A SMALL SPACE AT MY LOWER BACK BELOW THE LUMBAR SUPPORT THAT HAS NO PADDING OR NOT ENOUGH PADDING ON THE SEAT. THE SHORT TEST DRIVE PRIOR TO PURCHASE WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO REALIZE THERE WOULD BE A PROBLEM. . THE MAIN CONSUMER COMPLAINT FOR 2013 AND 2014 MODELS ARE THE SEATS. HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2013/HONDA/ACCORD/SEAT. *TR
CARS FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING CONSISTENTLY, NOR CORRECTLY. WHEN IT WORKS IT GOES OFF AT ABOUT HALF A CAR LENGTH ONLY, NO MATTER HOW YOU ADJUST THE ALARM TO GO OFF, ONE CAR LENGTH, TWO CAR LENGTH, OR THREE CAR LENGTH. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA, AND I DO HAVE A CASE NUMBER, AND HONDA DID SEND A AREA MANAGER TO CHECK THIS OUT. I STILL FEEL THAT THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK, IT IS NOT A DEALER PROBLEM, THIS IS OUR FIFTH HONDA. IF MORE CARS WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE PRODUCED AND LET OUT ON THE HIGHWAYS THERE WILL BE SOME MASSIVE ACCIDENTS. PLEASE HELP US CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
CAR IS PULLING TO THE LEFT AT MODERATE TO HIGH SPEEDS AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY BECAUSE I TRAVEL 90% HIGHWAY AND IT'S NOT A SAFE SITUATION. THE CAR IS A 2014 ACCORD EX-L 4 WITH ONLY 1160 MILES. I'M BEGINNING TO SUSPECT THE GOODYEAR TIRES THAT CAME WITH IT AS I DROVE THE V6 VERSION WHICH COMES WITH MICHELINS AND I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY PULLING. I ALSO DROVE ANOTHER NEW EX-L 4 CYL WITH GOODYEAR TIRES AND IT PULLED JUST LIKE MINE DOES. IT'S NOT PULLING BECAUSE OF THE CROWN IN THE ROAD. I'VE BEEN DRIVING CARS FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. BEEN TO SHOP UNDER WARRANTY THREE TIMES. 1) ADJUSTED TIRE PRESSURE 2) FULL ALIGNMENT 3) FRESH SET OF GOODYEAR FUEL MAX TIRES. I DON'T THINK THESE ARE GOOD TIRES BUT THEY ARE OEM. *JS
WE HAVE HAD OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD FOR JUST OVER ONE MONTH. ALL OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD BY THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK DOES NOT STAY OPEN ON EVEN A MODEST GRADE, BUT DOES NOT FALL DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO LEAN INTO THE TRUNK BEFORE IT HITS THEM. MY DAUGHTER REQUIRED STITCHES TODAY FOR AN INJURY TO THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE FROM THE TRUNK LID. I HAVE OWNED 15 CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ONE WHERE THE TRUNK LID WILL NOT REMAIN UP. *TR
THE ABOVE REFERENCED VEHICLE HAS A LEATHER WRAPPED STEERING. DURING DAYS OF SEVERE COLD (0 DEGREES OR BELOW), THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES EXTREMELY SLICK AND SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO FIRMLY GRIP WITHOUT GLOVES. THERE WERE A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN I WAS MODERATELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *JS
FIRST TIME DROVE AT NIGHT 4/20/2014. HEADLIGHTS ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, UNSAFE AND CANNOT POSSIBLY MEET US SAFETY STANDARDS. THEY SHINE, MAYBE 50 FEET ON A FLAT SURFACE. MUCH LESS WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. MORE WHEN GOING UPHILL. VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE STREET SIGNS, SUCH AS BEND IN ROAD, STOP AHEAD, ETC., PARKED CARS, PEDESTRIANS AND ANIMALS. THERE IS ACTUALLY A DEFINED HORIZONTAL LINE ABOUT HALF WAY TO 2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE TOP PART OF THE WINDSHIELD BEING ANYWHERE FROM COMPLETELY BLACK TO DIMLY LIT DEPENDING ON AMBIENT LIGHTING.THIS IS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT AND VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER ON 4/22/2014. THEY INFORMED US HEADLIGHTS WERE AIMED CORRECTLY. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID HE HAS HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS, BUT DID NOT KNOW IF HONDA WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, A LOUD POP WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED AND IMPLODED INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUNROOF NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,200.
TPMS LIGHT COMES ON REGULARLY. TIRE PRESSURE IS INFLATED TO SPECS. DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOUR TIMES AND RESETS THE SETTING. SERVICE MANAGER INFORMS ME THIS 2014 CRV MODEL HAS A WELL KNOWN HISTORY OF THIS MALFUNCTION AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE OWNERS WITH A LOANER AUTO UNTIL THEY COME WITH A FIX, BUT HE SAYS THEY HAVE NOT AUTHORIZED THIS INTERIM SOLUTION. HAVE HAD THE CAR FOUR MONTHS. TOO LONG TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS SERIOUS DEFECT! *TR
HESITATION (UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION) OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED. WHEN THE CAR IS AT A LOW SPEED AND MORE POWER IS NEEDED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED THERE IS NO RESPONSE INITIALLY; ACCELERATOR IS THEN PRESSED MORE AND THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A JERKY, ON/OFF TYPE ACTION. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GENTLY AND HAVING THE CAR ACCELERATE MORE THAN EXPECTED (IN A PARKING LOT OR HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC ETC). *TR
I PURCHASED NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD ON 1/27/14 WITH 34 MILES. ON 1/31/14 WITH ONLY 117 MILES, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK, PERHAPS 2 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD ON IT'S OWN WITH GREAT FORCE. I WAS APPX 5 FEET AWAY FROM STOPPING WHEN SUDDENLY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE CAR LUNGED, HIT THE CONCRETE STOP, JUMPED OVER AND STOPPED ONLY BY STEEL CABLES.THIS OCCURRED ON THE 4TH FLOOR (SPIRAL PARKING) . IF THE CABLE SYSTEM WERE NOT IN PLACE, I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP LANDING ON THE TOP OF THE CARS PARKED ON THE 3RD FLOOR. THIS ENTIRE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN 2 SECONDS OR LESS. I WAS COMPLETELY STRAIGHT IN LINE HAVING TURNED RIGHT FROM THE CENTRAL AISLE, ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE CONCRETE BLOCK, TRAVELING NO MORE THAN 2 MPH. WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD, AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND SENT THE CAR INTO THE CABLES. I RECEIVED A BURN TO MY RIGHT HAND FROM THE AIRBAG AND WAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY IN SHOCK. I HAVE AN EXEMPLARY DRIVING HISTORY FOR 44 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING SO TRAUMATIZING OCCUR EVER. AS I STATED, THIS OCCURRED SO QUICKLY AS I WAS ONLY 1-2 SECONDS FROM TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. IN REPORTING THIS ACCIDENT TO HONDA, THEY RECOMMENDED HAVING IT TOWED TO SEIDNER'S WITH WHOM THEY PARTNER WITH. THEY COMPLETED THE REPAIRS ON 3/1/14.THE DAMAGE WAS EXTENSIVE, $11,600 TO THE FRONT END, HOOD, ETC. THE CAR WAS AT THE COLLISION CENTER UNTIL 3/1/14. BECAUSE OF THE CLAIM I OPENED WITH HONDA, THEY INSPECTED THE CAR 3/10/14, HOWEVER ONLY MADE A HAND-WRITTEN NOTE THAT THEY TEST DROVE IT FOR 48 MILES, NOTING "NO DEFECTS IN MECHANICAL INSPECTION, NO REPAIRS RECOMMENDED." I AM UTTERLY TERRIFIED THAT THIS COULD OCCUR AGAIN. PLEASE, CAN YOU DIRECT ME AS TO WHAT I CAN DO TO ENSURE THAT THIS NEVER RECURS. *TR
HELLO. I ALREADY POSTED MY PROBLEM WITH HEAD-REST FOR THE PILOT SEAT CAUSING NECK PAIN WHILE DRIVING AS THE HEAD-REST ALWAYS, REGARDLESS THE HOW WE SET SEAT POSITION, PUSHES THE HEAD FORWARD IN A C POSITION CAUSING THE NECK PAIN. I CAN'T DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS CONSTANT PAIN!. TODAY, I READ ABOUT THE COMPLAINS FOR THE 2013 AND 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CATEGORY WITH MORE COMPLAINS FOR BOTH YEARS IS THE SEAT CATEGORY! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING REGARDING THIS ISSUE TO RESOLVE IT. WOULD YOU PLEASE TAKE INTO YOUR CONSIDERATIONS OURS CONSUMERS' COMPLAINS REGARDING NOT ABLE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE? THANK YOU. *TR
HEAD-REST PROBLEM -> NECK PAIN. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, I NOTICE THAT NO MATTER WHICH POSITION I SELECTED THE PILOT'S SEAT , MY HEAD IS ALWAYS PUSHED FORWARD MAKING A NECK PAIN. I TRIED TO ADJUSTED THE HEAD-REST WITH THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS I COULD MAKE MY NECK FEEL BETTER IN ALL I STILL CAN'T MAKE NECK PAIN GO AWAY EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT'S REALLY PAINFUL MY HEAD IS ALWAYS LEANING FORWARD NO MATTER HOW I ADJUST THE HEAD-REST. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD FOR FORD-F150 TRUCK, THE HEAD REST ARE TOO BIG THUS MAKING ALWAYS THE HEAD LEAN FORWARD AND CAUSING ME A NEXT PROBLEM. IN BOTH VEHICLE, IT'S THE SAME. I CAN'T DRIVE COMFORTABLE!!!! WITHOUT STARTING TO FEEL THE NECK PAIN RIGHT AND FEEL MY HEAD IS BEING PUSHED FORWARD. PLEASE HAVE HONDA AND OTHER MANUFACTURES REVIEW AND ADD A HEAD-REST ADJUSTMENT FEATURE TO THE HEAD-REST SO THAT WE CAN PUSH BACK THE HEAD-REST A LITTLE BACKWARDS TO ALLOW THE NECK/HEAD REST COMFORTABLE. *TR
VERY ANNOYING RUMBLING/VIBRATION THAT OCCURS IN THE 1700-2000 RPM RANGE WHEN THE VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT ENGAGES. THE SEVERE IMBALANCE OF RUNNING ON ONLY 3 CYLINDERS TRANSMITS A DISTRACTING RUMBLING/ROARING VIBRATION INTO THE COCKPIT OF THE CAR. WHEN I ORIGINALLY TEST DROVE THE CAR, I DID SO IN STOP-IN-GO TRAFFIC AND ALSO BRIEFLY ON THE INTERSTATE, AND DID NOT DETECT THIS PHENOMENON UNTIL I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS VIBRATION, I WROTE A DETAILED LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN HONDA REGARDING MY UNHAPPINESS. A COLLEAGUE OF HIS, NAMED [XXX], CONTACTED ME BUT OFFERED NO HELP. SHE ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIVING MY LETTER AND SAID THAT IT WOULD GO ON FILE. I ASKED IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO DISENGAGE THE VARIABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BUT [XXX] SAID THAT HONDA DOES NOT RECOMMEND THAT. I ASKED IF AMERICAN HONDA WOULD ALLOW ME TO SWAP BY NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 FOR A 4-CYLINDER EX-L, BUT [XXX] SAID THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE BETWEEN MY DEALER AND ME. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A HONDA V6 AGAIN AS LONG AS IT HAS ANY FORM OF VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM). I FEEL THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO GO ON RECORD REGARDING THIS MATTER. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA OWNER FOR THE LAST 30+ YEARS AND HAVE OWNED 5 NEW HONDA VEHICLES OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
SECOND DAY I HAD THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAD NO ISSUES ON THE HIGHWAY BUT TURNING ONTO A RURAL HIGHWAY WITH NO LIGHTS I FOUND THAT THE VISIBILITY THRU THE WINDSHIELD WAS RELEGATED TO THE BOTTOM THIRD. THE REST OF THE WINDSHIELD APPEARED DARK AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THRU. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT WHAT I ENCOUNTERED WAS NORMAL BECAUSE HONDA USES A LOOK DOWN HEADLIGHT SYSTEM, IN FACT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HIS WIFE ONLY DROVE WITH THE BRITES ON IN DARK AREAS BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT SEE THRU THE WINDSHIELD. I SAID THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE COULD TRY TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS BY RAISING THE HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT, BUT HE WARNED ME THAT AT SOME POINT THE HEADLIGHTS MIGHT BLIND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HE RAISED THE LEVEL OF THE LIGHTS AND I THEN INSPECTED THE RESULTS LATER THAT NIGHT. I FOUND THAT I HAD ALMOST HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR AND THE REST WAS SHADED VERY DARK. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO MAKE REPAIRS. SO FAR THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. I DRIVE A LOT ON THESE BACK ROADS AND I HOPE I WILL NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BLOCKED HIS VIEW OF THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES REGARDLESS OF HOW THE SEAT WAS POSITIONED BECAUSE OF HIS SHORT STATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 03/21/14*LJ UPDATED 03/28/2014 *JS
THE FIRST TIME I DROVE MY CAR IN THE FREEWAY, AFTER SPEED UP TO 50 OR 55 THE CAR STARTED TO SHIFT TO THE LEFT SIDE STRONGLY MANDATING ME TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT SIDE TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE, SO I HAD TO KEEP TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE VEHICLE CAUSED A REFLECTIVE GLARE TO THE E DRIVER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150. UPDATED 03/31/14*LJ
WHENEVER IT RAINS MODERATELY OR HEAVY THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER PULLS BACK THE WATER IN MY SIGHT OF VIEW. THIS IS AN ANNOYANCE AND A SAFETY HAZARD THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET CORRECTED. *TR
2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD AS THE CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, AND TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN, EVEN THOUGH HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AS SHE PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE VEHICLE CAREENED AT A HIGH SPEED AROUND THE PARKING LOT, JUMPED SEVERAL CURBS, AND SIDE SWIPED THREE OTHER CARS, BEFORE COMING TO A STOP WHEN THREE TIRES BLEW OUT AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL TURNED PERPENDICULAR TO DIRECTION OF MOTION. THE AXLE BROKE, SO THE VEHICLE ENDED UP TRAVELING ON THE RIM SIDES WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. *JB
IT WAS A COLD DAY WITH WIND CHILLED DOWN TO SINGLE DIGITS. I TOOK SOMETHING OUT FROM THE TRUNK, GOT INTO MY CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR. THEN I NOTICE THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW GLASS HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO TINY PIECES. THE WHOLE GLASS WAS GONE, WITH HALF LANDED INSIDE THE CAR AND HALF OUTSIDE. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND AND NOTHING THAT I KNOW OF HAD HIT THE CAR DOOR WINDOW. THE GLASS JUST SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. *TR
PURCHASED A NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I'VE EXPERIENCED MODERATE TO SEVERE PAIN IN MY NECK, UPPER BACK AREA AND SHOULDERS. I'VE FELT DISCOMFORT EVEN ON MY DAILY WORK COMMUTE OF 15 MINUTES ONE WAY. THE PAIN IS MORE SEVERE AFTER DRIVING FOR 40 MIN. I SEE MY CHIROPRACTOR MORE OFTEN NOW. I NOTICED THE HEADREST IS CURVED FORWARD AT AN EXTREME ANGLE, PUSHING MY HEAD FORWARD, PUTTING STRESS ON MY NECK. MY UPPER BACK AND SHOULDERS FEELS STRAINED - REGARDLESS OF THE HEIGHT OF THE HEADREST. THE HEADREST WAS THE CAUSE OF MY PAIN. I AM 4'11 AND SIT UP STRAIGHT. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE SEAT ADJUSTMENT AND BOUGHT NECK SUPPORTS BUT NOTHING HAS HELPED. I RESORTED TO PUTTING MY HEADREST BACKWARDS TO PROVIDE RELIEF. I'VE MENTIONED THIS TO A SALESPERSON AND THE PARTS DEPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP. BOTH OF THEM SAID HONDA DOES NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT AND THE HEADREST WAS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS. PRIOR TO THIS, I DROVE A 99 HONDA ACCORD EX AND THIS ISSUE NEVER OCCURRED. I'VE TRIED PUTTING THE HEADREST FROM MY 99 ACCORD INTO THE 2014 BUT IT WON'T FIT DUE TO DIFFERENT CENTER-TO-CENTER POST MEASUREMENTS. EVEN THE BACKSEAT HEADRESTS FROM THE 2014 WILL NOT FIT IN THE DRIVER?S SEAT. I HAD PICTURES TAKEN OF ME SITTING IN MY 99 ACCORD AND THE 2014 ACCORD. IN THE ?99 ACCORD, MY NECK, UPPER BACK AND SHOULDER REST COMFORTABLY AGAINST THE SEAT AND HEADREST. IN THE 2014, THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN MY NECK, UPPER BACK AND SHOULDER FROM THE SEAT WITH THE UPPER PORTION OF MY HEAD PUSHED FORWARD FROM THE HEADREST. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SO HONDA CAN TAKE ACTION TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT OR MAKE IT A RECALL ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED FOR HEALTH, COMFORT AND SAFETY'S SAKE! *TR
GOT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A BRIEF TEST DRIVE. AFTER THE SECOND TIME DRIVING THE CAR FOR A SHORT TRIP, I BEGAN FEELING SEVERE PAIN IN MY NECK/UPPER BACK AREA AND FELT THE SAME DISCOMFORT EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR THEREAFTER. THE SEAT BASE IS TOO DEEP NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT TO MY SPINE AND ALSO THE SEAT BACK IS PUSHING MY BODY FORWARD CAUSING ME TO ROUND MY NECK AND SHOULDERS FORWARD. IN ADDITION, MY HEAD CANNOT EVEN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HEAD REST UNLESS I TILT THE HEAD BACK WHICH IS NOT A NEUTRAL POSITION. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDING BUYING EXPENSIVE SEAT SUPPORTS BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP; THE SEAT JUST SEEMS TO BE POORLY DESIGNED. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM WILLING TO RETURN/TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER AT A LOSS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO SACRIFICE MY HEALTH. PRIOR TO THIS, I DROVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND THIS ISSUE NEVER OCCURRED. I HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE SO HONDA CAN TAKE ACTION TO RESOLVE. *TR
HEADREST IS NOT ADJUSTABLE BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS, ONLY UP AND DOWN. IT IS CURVED FORWARDS AT AN EXTREME ANGLE, AND WHEN YOU SIT IN IT, CAUSES YOU TO SIT IN A C POSITION, ALL HUNCHED OVER. AT FIRST, NOT TOO BAD. AFTER AWHILE, IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE, AND CAUSES A LOT OF NECK STRAIN, LEADING TO HEADACHES AND NECK PAIN. PLEASE FIX, HONDA! PLEASE SEND OUT REPLACEMENT HEADRESTS THAT ARE ADJUSTABLE! SIMPLE EASY, QUICK FIX, MINIMAL IMPACT. TEMPORARILY, I HAVE RESORTED TO TAKING THEM OUT, AND PUTTING THEM IN BACKWARDS, AND THEY FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!! TRUST ME, IT LOOKS AWKWARD, BUT FEELS AWESOME! *LN UPDATED 1/6/2013 *JS
