2014 Honda Accord engine complaints

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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!

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.
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)
Rpm surged to 7000 to 8000 RPM
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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%
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.
