Brought the car used from dealer and after 6 months I tried to start the car and only head a click noise. The car was parked, clutch pressed to the floor and gear shift in neutral. This only happens spontaneously, I took the car back to the dealer and they kept the car for a few days and said the they couldn't reproduce the problem. Long story short this continued to happen for about 2 weeks, finally the owner of the lot was there when I came to pick up the car and it wouldn't start, he tried to start the car more than 10 times, and finally diagnose the started being the problem. Had the starter replaced under my extended warranty. Maybe 2 weeks after the replacement, the issue began to happen again. For only having this car for a year and to not feel comfortable driving it, I feel discouraged. It is a big inconvenience wondering if your car is going to start or not when you turn it off.

Intermittent issues with starting. I hear and see a flicker on the dashboard and lights, however it doesn't start.I plug a jumper pack in and it immediately starts, as if nothing happened. This will have 5-6 times a week after running fine throughout the day. Just happens surprisingly. The starter has been replaced in which the Honda dealership says was the issue. There is clearly some other issue happening, maybe the electrical system but they refused to check to even help diagnose again.

When car parks and key inside (in stationary) and when you leave the car may be around 1 minute, the door will lock itself. This would likely creates safety hazards to other vehicles if the vehicle happen to park in the middle of roadway.

Vehicle is not starting when I turn the ignition. I've been to many forums where similar problems have been reported and many solutions tried but no fix found. People have spent thousands of dollars to fix this issue and still no fix. I've had to replace the battery twice already on my vehicle after leaving me stranded. Now, the ignition won't even start. I have to try and try for about 10 minutes until it finally turns on. I am afraid I will be stranded again. For a relatively new vehicle, this is unacceptable and should be fixed immediately!

My 2015honda Accord purchased new off the lot and well maintained has issues with start up system. Dealer reports it is a starter failure. When foot is firmly placed on the brake and start push button is pushed the car will make one click sound and not start, it can take up to 10 attempts to start car. The display does show up. I had the battery sensor recall fixed and this did not make a difference. Dealer wants over $750 to repair starter.I believe there is another issue happening causing the starter to die. Honda needs to recall these starters and get down to the root cause, because thousand of others are experiencing the same starting issues with these cars. It is very sad that Honda reputation is being stained due to their negligence in correcting this issue.

Almost daily the car will not start on the first try. It can take up to 10 attempts to get it started. All of the lights on dash turn on and I hear a click but it doesn't start. Sometimes if I step out of the car and reintroduce the key it works but not always. We changed the key fob battery, had the recall fixed and the dealer said car had a good inspection. Battery and starter are good.

Intermittent problem starting the car. At times the car would start normally after the first turn of the key. At other times it may take more than one turn of the key or as many as 7 to 10 turns of the key for the car to start. The transmission was in park at all times. Before the car started, all electrical equipment such as radio, windshield, A/C, dashboard lights were working as normal. This condition has been going on for several weeks. There was no work done on the car; all electrical and engine parts the same as when the car was first purchased.

Car battery issues. Won't hold a charge. Will not start at random weekly. Just clicks even after driving for 30 mins and returning to car. Took it to dealer, battery good, alternator good, starter good. 2days later happens again. Especially after putting in fuel. Turn car on, battery dead. Ridiculous. Take it back to dealer. All diagnostics good. Go to work, come out to leave battery dead. Get a jump from co worker, drive home. Next morning dead. Take it to autozone for charge, battery low on charge. Get battery charged 4 hours, drive to NY & back home. Go out to 7eleven battery dead, click click. Autozone or dealer refuse to sell battery because battery reads good. What's the issue. Honda without even checking car says it's a major issue with 'these' cars and $700 for new battery and alternator!!! for what? Ford dealer (where purchased) gave the 'all good' as did autozone testing.

I am having intermittent issues with my car starting. It does one click and won't start. There is no turning over. It looks like my radio isn't resetting when it happens. I took it to the Honda dealership and they said my battery is 100%, my starter is fine, and my alternator is fine as well. An hour after leaving the dealership it didn't start again. Connections aren't corroded. I have to attach a battery jump start pack to start my car every time to fails. I have read forums that have claimed there was an issue with faulty starters for 2013-2015 Honda Accord, but they do not have a legal recall. My car is just under 50K miles at 49,600, and likely is just out of the warranty mileage.

I have a 2015 Honda Accord with about 34,000 miles on it. A few weeks ago I noticed I started having trouble turning on my car. Well this morning it just wouldnt start. The battery is new. When I press the brake and push start it wont start. I'm guessing it's my started. I have looked online and there are tons of forums about defective starters on 2015 Honda Accord. Why isnt this a recall?
