After having my Honda Accord sport 2015 4 cylinder, I started to notice around 90k miles an occasional grinding noise when starting the car that is getting progressively worse. I've had previous Hondas with many more miles and never had this issue before. I believe the issue is the starter, but I have not been able to take it to the mechanic yet. I intend to go this weekend. I'd like to also state there have been numerous reports regarding starters for a V6 engine, and I believe it is the same for 4 cylinders.

It is regarding the Starter Grinds or Spins at Startup (Service bulletin 16-002). My car was giving finding noise while starting. When I checked with my dealer they replaced the new starter (I paid from my pocket). Again i got the same issue, then started was replaces 2nd time. On the very next day i received the same issue. So they took their time and did the diagnosis that this is something to do with (Service bulletin 16-002). Dealr is asking for parts and repair cost close to 4.5 grand. I did the research and found that this is an ongoing issue and bulletin was issued. Please advise me as i got stranded on a cold day in Chicago with my family. It is very unsafe.

My 2015 accord v6 has a starting problem where the starter will grind several times before the car will start. This happens about every 3 to 5 weeks. The car will eventually start after several attempts. Although this problem does not occur every time, I am concerned I will be stranded.

This car has a push button start. You engage the brake and press the button to start. It will not start. It only makes a grinding sound. I can release the brake, press the start button to disengage the start effort. Then reapply the brake, press the start. Sometimes it will then crank and sometimes I have to go through this scenario multiple times before it will crank. This issue does not happen every time you attempt to crank the car but the problem with that is you never know when it will and when it won't. I'm very concerned when is it going to finally not crank and where might I be, this is a safety issue. This has been reported to the dealership many times, only to get the response, "the starter is going bad", this vehicle has less than 70,000 miles and this chain of events has been going on over a year. I purchased this vehicle new and it has been serviced regularly at the dealership. I also have another honda accord 2014 (VIN#[xxx]) that has the exact same issue. My daughter and grand daughter depend on this car. I'm so worried about their safety and when they may get stranded. On you tube there is many examples of the same issues, this is very scary.

My car is having issues turning on. It is brand new 2015 from a honda certified lot. Upon startup I hear a grinding or whining noise from the starter area. (not always) maybe a faulty starter motor and incorrect positioning of the torque converter ring gear, the gear with which the starter meshes to spin the engine at startup. It is a problem I have every day when I try to turn on my car. Sometime it goes on the first press start, other times, I've waited an hour in my car trying to turn it on to get to my next destination.

My vehicle's starter periodically grinds and will not engage the ring gear to start the engine. Honda has acknowledged that improper installation at the factory caused the clearance between the starter motor gear and torque converter ring gear to be improper. See tsb 16-002. The starter will engage after repeated (sometimes 5+) attempts. If the vehicle were to experience a stall while driving, the inability to restart the engine could lead to a crash. In addition, a starter that randomly and unexpectedly fails to engage could cause a driver to be stranded in potentially dangerous weather conditions. Honda has declined to extend warranty coverage to this part that has failed due to an admitted error on their part.

Starter began grinding and skipping at 55,000 miles. I drive 70 miles round trip each day, so the mileage doesn't represent the actual limited amount of starts I have had with this car. Tsb from honda declares 'improper clearance in starter with pinion gear may cause starting malfunction.' must rotate torque converter bolts one round clockwise and replace starter to fix. But, this won't fix the issue. The improper clearance is a design flaw. New starter will do the same thing. If the starter malfunctions again, then a new torque converter is required. This is absolutely ridiculous and unfounded in car maintenance. A bad starter design costs owners +3,400$ to remedy the second time. Which still won't fix it. The third starter still won't have the proper clearance.

2015 honda accord v6 bought as new now with 72k miles has starter problem. Car will have a winding/grinding noise when attempting to start (from off and stationary position) but will not start. When inspecting problem, it was found that the flywheel has been damaged likely due to misalignment of torque converter ring gear or bad starter motor. Called to honda dealership and they said the components are not covered by warranties. Service campaign online was found with reference tsb no. 16-002 issued february 5, 2016. Buyer was not aware of such problems since date of purchase as honda never issued a recall or mailed out notification to the buyer. Many have reported the issue online. Buyer was never made aware of service bulletin via paper or electonic mail, no recall was made, car is now apparently no longer covered under warranty, and requiring multiple parts repairs.

Starter grinds when press start button. Honda wants $1000 to fix but it is a known problem and should be a recall....
