2014 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BATTERY SENSOR RECALL AND CONNECTING ROD BOLTS SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

VEHICLE WILL NOT START UPON INITIALLY PUSHING THE IGNITION . CHANGED BATTERIES IN THE REMOTES YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. VEHICLE ONLY STARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. INSTEAD OF PUSHING TO START HAVE BEEN PUSHING AND HOLDING TO START. PROBLEM BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. STARTED 03/11/18 AND CONTINUED ON.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I AM NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR. THE BATTERY IS GOOD AND THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB HAS BEEN REPLACED. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS. AFTER AWHILE (A FEW MINUTES TO 30 MINUTES OR SO)THE CAR WILL CRANK. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL SOON BE STRANDED AND NOT ABLE TO WAIT THIS OUT.

AFTER 4 YRS AND 60K MILES THIS CAR HAS HAD A STARTER REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND I'VE GOTTHEN TWO NEW BATTERIES. NEED TO JUMP START EVERY NOW AND THEN EVEN AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF ONLY WHILE STOPPING FOR A COUPLE OFF MINUTES. CAN'T RELY ON THIS CAR TO BE ON TIME TO PICK UP KIDS FROM SCHOOL OR GET TO WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE STARTER MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE STARTED SMOKING SO HE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER VISALIA HONDA (1016 S BEN MADDOX WAY, VISALIA, CA 93292, (866) 220-5340) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, MOST OF THE TIME IT WON'T START. IT JUST CLICKS. I HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA SHOULD FIX. AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE, IF IT IS DARK OUT AND YOUR CAR WON'T START, THEN YOU ARE A TARGET FOR A CRIMINAL. I AM LOSING MY FAITH IN THE RELIABILITY OF HONDA'S.

I PURCHASED HONDA ACCORD 2014 AS USED AND HAVE JUST 42K MILES ON IT NOW. IT STARTED GIVING STARTING TROUBLES SINCE PAST 2 WEEKS. LAST WEEK IT DIDN'T START AT ALL . FINALLY IT STARTED ONCE & TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP & I WAS TOLD THAT STARTER HAS GONE BAD. COSTED $800 TO REPLACE IT.

MY ALTERNATOR READING IS AT 12.0, WITH THE CAR STILL BEING THIS RECENT, THE PRICE OF A NEW ALTERNATOR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I WAS HOPING MAYBE TO SEE IF HONDA ACTUALLY HAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,000.

ON SOME OCCASIONS THE KEYLESS START BUTTON DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE STARTER. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO WORK OR WON'T AT ALL. SOMETIMES I LEAVE FOR A TIME AND WHEN I TRY AGAIN IT WORKS NORMALLY. I'VE HAD MANY CARS AND THIS ISSUE IS DEFFINETLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HONDA DEALER REPLACED STARTER UNDER WARRANTY AND INDICATED THAT THEY KNEW IT WAS AN ISSUE. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NEEDED TO PICK UP MY WIFE AT THE HOSPITAL AND COULD NOT GET CAR STARTED. I DO HAVE ANOTHER CAR SO IT ALL WORKED OUT BUT IF I DIDN'T IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD EVENT. I KNOW THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ESPECIALLY YOUTUBE. HONDA DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT PUBLICLY. OTHERWISE IT'S A GREAT CAR

WHEN YOU PRESS THE START BUTTON, IT JUST CLICKS. AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT WOULD START. THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY STARTER (NOT THE BUTTON, KEY, OR BATTERY). AFTER ONLY 60K MILES? HONDA CHARGED $900 TO REPLACE IT. CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA DOES NOT STAND BY ITS PRODUCTS ANY MORE. THEY USED TO BE DEPENDABLE CARS.

STARTING FROM LAST MONTH, THE CAR SOMETIMES CANNOT BE STARTED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THERE WAS NO SOUND. THE ENGINE COULD NOT BE STARTED. IN THE BEGINNING, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK. AND IT COULD BE STARTED AFTER 4-5 TRIALS. NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES I TRIED 10 MIN BUT IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE MACHINIST EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD. THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STARTER WITH THE COST ABOUT $900. IT SEEMS A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

THE STARTER HAS STARTED FAILING. IT STARTED OUT ONCE A WEEK AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IT FAILS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY.

CAR WILL NOT START-FAULTY IGNITON SWITCH. I STARTED HAVING STARTER PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS. LAST WEEK IT DIDN'T START AT ALL .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND THE STARTER WERE FAULTY. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH CLAWSON HONDA OF FRESNO (6346 N BLACKSTONE AVE, FRESNO, CA 93710, (559) 435-5000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TRIED TO START MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD THAT HAS HAD WELL MAINTAINED MAINTENANCE ON IT AND IT WON'T START. EVERYTHING WORKS BUT THE CAR WON'T START. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS WEEK IT HAS HAPPENED AND THEN THE CAR JUST STARTS. NOW IT'S NOT STARTING. I DID MY RESEARCH AND REALIZE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2014 ACCORD. HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY. CAR IS TOO NEW WITH ONLY 55K MILES, I OWN A 2001 TOYOTA SIENNA AND NO ISSUES LIKE THIS JUST ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I PUT TRUST INTO HONDA AND THIS IS WHERE IT GETS ME.

VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT TIMES AND THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND. IN THE BEGINNING, IT HAPPENED MAYBE TWICE A MONTH AND IT WOULD START AFTER A FEW SECONDS. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IT'S AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. ONE DAY IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I LEFT IT FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND WHEN I LATER TRIED TO START IT, IT STARTED WITH NO HESITATION. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY, BECAUSE I REPLACED THE BATTERY THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CAR WORKS EVEN WHEN THE CAR WON'T START.

AT AROUND 35,000 MILES, THE STARTER IS NO LONGER WORKING AND SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT WITH SO FEW MILES

I ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE FOR THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX VEHICLE IS THE STARTING ISSUE. SOMETIMES I CANNOT START THE CAR AND IT STRANDS ME ON THE ROADSIDE OR PARKING LOT SEVERAL TIMES. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. I ALSO WENT TO OTHER AUTO REPAIR STORES SEVERAL TIMES. AND SOME OF THEM SAID IT'S THE STARTER'S PROBLEM; OTHERS SAID IT'S ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY'S PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AND WHEN THE WEATHER BECOMES COLD, THE CAR CANNOT BE STARTED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WARM DAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES ME BIG TROUBLES BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY A LOT TO JUMP START IT. AND IT LEFT ME ON THE ROAD WHICH IS UNSAFE. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 55000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR CASES WITH OTHER HONDA OWNER ON THE INTERNET. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND MAKE A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

STARTER BUTTON HAS GONE BAD AT 40K MILES. BATTERY IS NEW, KEY FOB BATTERY IS NEW, STILL CAR WON'T START AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A WEEK. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT FINALLY STARTS. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE.

CAR WON'T START

THIS DISPUTE RELATED TO 2014 HONDA ACCORD SAFETY RECALL 17V-418. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, MOISTURE IS ENTERING INTO THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY SYSTEM WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF ABOVE RECALL. A MONTH BEFORE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE, MY CALL STALLED AT A GAS STATION ON OCTOBER 12, 2017 AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER DISCOVERED THAT SEVERE CORROSION DAMAGED THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND THE CABLE BROKE OFF. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND BATTERY WAS $735.52. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL 17V-418, THE ISSUE WE EXPERIENCED IS RELATED. DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW, THE MOISTURE IS DAMAGING VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE BATTERY SYSTEM. I FILED A CLAIM (CASE # 06489520) WITH HONDA FOR REIMBURSEMENT BUT MY REQUEST HAS BEEN DENIED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE PURCHASE. THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS THAT MOISTURE ENTERING THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND THE HONDA SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REIMBURSE THE COST OF REPAIR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR IS $735.52 + $65 (TOWING) = $800.52.
