Starter issue that is affected by not engaging due the heat of the engine or other heat source I.e. Oil pan or exhaust system. Driving my honda accord from lake mary to fort meyers beach where I pulled into a rest area near rubonia fl, parked the car and turned the engine off. I came back to the car and proceeded to insert my key and nothing happened. Luckily there was a state farm road ranger in the rest stop and he moved his truck to mine and proceeded to give me a jump. Once the jumper cables were on, the car turned over without an issue.
Starter issue that is affected by not engaging due the heat of the engine or other heat source I.e. Oil pan or exhaust system. I drove my honda accord 2013 about 60 miles then turned the car off and came back and the engine would not turn over. Only sound was one click as you turned the key. Triple a was called and they said the issue was not battery related as the battery itself was under a year old and the voltage measurement was 12.81, measured : 535 cca, rated: 500 cca at a temperature of 98. Also the test for low cranking amps was 12.48 volts, 13.4 amps. The charging system test showed 12.64 for both loaded and unloaded. The service technician said that it was a starter issue that was affected by the heat of the engine or other heat source I.e. Oil pan or exhaust system. After cooling the engine starts without a problem.

Push button start is acting up. At times when you push button to start the car it only clicks, after a few tries the car will start. I have seen several complaints on this. Honda has admitted to an issue with the v6 model but not the v4 model that is having the same issue
So just like all the other complaints, my car won't start every time I hit the starter button. After I press it it makes a really loud whining sound, I am currently on my 3rd replacement starter, and 2nd alternator. I think it's crazy, after all these complains everywhere that nothing has been done. I gave honda the benefit of the doubt, because of their history of reliability, but this is too much. I need a new starter too actually so starter #4 here I come. This is a serious issue.
Trouble starting car. Changing battery did not help.
My accord has 38769 miles on it, has always been serviced be a honda dealer, and recalls have been fixed. Since the battery sensor was fixed december, 2017 my push start will not always start my car and there is no indicator light to show anything is wrong. The dealer wants to charge me to diagnose my car. I notified honda, they assigned a case number and referred back to dealer. I have googled this problem and it seems that several 2013 and 2014's have this problem just after warranty expired. Would you please investigate? These starters are dangerous. When I purchased the car in 2013 and was coming up a snow covered drive my car quit and I slid backward because I could not restart car without using the brake. I complained to honda then, they opened a case, then nothing. I told them then that I was sliding backward and could have gone over an embankment.. They just closed that case when I called about current problems. I will never own another honda.

Push button stair tee has repeatedly not worked. The power goes on, many icons light up, and when I push the button to turn it off, "power is on" message appears. The power stays on; I cannot turn it off. The fob battery is fine, the "battery management sensor" recall has been done, and it still happens. At least six times in the recent past this has happened and then after I leave it alone a while, it has started. Today it started after I waited an hour which was really difficult as I was out of cell phone reception areas. I am taking it in monday. I hope it starts or I will have to have it towed. I see there are hundreds of similar complaints. Isn't it about time for a recall? See previous complaints for analysis of the problem with the ignition/starter that should be fixed by honda.
Drove car to work from massachusetts to new hampshire in the morning with the car not turning over right away and having to catch on the second try. After work with only 33196 miles, car did not start yet electronics came on had to have it towed to across states to home dealership and find out its the starter that was wrong. After looking it up, this appeared to be a problem which I brought to the dealerships attention but all they provide was 2 goodwill discounts that was under 100 dollars to still charge 719 for the replacing of starter for a car that is 5 years old and only 33,196 mile on it.
The seat memory sensors do not work with key fob close to the door or when in car. Must be set manually each time. The car was stationary at the time of entry.
Starter problem all my lights , radio AC windows work but won't crank up. Called local dealer and was told sounds like a starter problem and will have to have it towed to dealer. With only 56k on it I have never had a starter fail in such a short time. It must be true japanese cars not as reliable as once thought to be.
My car does not always start. When I push the start button the lights come on and the car chimes, but it doesn't always start. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a bad starter. I had the starter replaced and it appeared to be working fine. Now, after a month I am having the same problem. I am the original owner and have also had a dead battery twice since buying it. My car currently has about 77k miles on it.
I have a 2013 honda accord 2013 with 75,000 miles on it. For the past few moth I've been having problem with the starter. The car will turn on, but after a few tries. I brought the car to the honda dealer and they confirmed there was a problem with the starter. I did not replaced it because I did extensive research and found out that there are too many customers with the same complaint and it's not fair for some that only have a few thousand miles on their cars for them to be paying over $800 for car defect that honda knows that many of their vehicles should already have a recall.

When I start my vehicle, the engine turns on, but only stays on for a second or two before loosing power. The battery seems to be working perfectly fine as the lights and indicators are properly lit. The starter also cranks properly. The engine however turns on but doesn't stay o. This has happened to me multiple times and I have changed my car battery 3 times now as the dealership isn't unable to identify what the issue is and my battery keeps getting drained. The car is particularly susceptible to this issue in the mornings in colder temperatures (50 degrees or so as I live in southern california) after not being used overnight

I purchased this honda used in august 2016. The car was still under warranty when 2 months later the starter began to malfunction. It would take several tries of pushing the button for the car to actually start. October 2016, the battery and starter were replaced under warranty.

My 2013 honda accord touring model electric power steering failed. The car only has 49,000 miles. The dealer states it is no longer a extended warranty issue and will not cover issue. The problem was noticed while driving the vehicle and then taken to the dealer for evaluation. The problem is loss of power steering and/or a sudden increase in steering effort and dealer identified that the electric power steering box needs replacement for a total of $2100.00. For a "new" car this is ridiculous and should be honda's fix not the costumer.
