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.
2014 Honda Accord electrical complaints
Page 8 of 14: complaints 191 to 220 of 378, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
Push button start does not work at times. Leaving me stranded. Very common complaint for 2014 honda accord and earlier models. Needs a recall.
