Tried to restart extended crank, still shaking/jerking while driving, sparking in the engine and engine failed and cut off in traffic.

Not only did this failure of the part put myself in danger but others on the road in danger as well.

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

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 the federal safety agency 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

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

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.

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.
