Problem: Seems to be with ignition. While car is stationary, the vehicle fails at the initial turn of the key for ignition. Failure of ignition may happen 2-3 times before car will run. Not only has this now happened more than half a dozen times, but we are also seeing larger number of tries before the vehicle will start. (example: First several occurrences the car would start after 1-2 tries. Now it is more common to take 2-3 tries before ignition.) this could cause any of us to be stranded unexpectantly...especially concerned if this happens on a trip away from home, &/or to wife or daughter alone. We heard other years of same Honda Accord is having this problem. So we were surprised not to see our make and model listed for recall.

At around 35,000 miles, the starter is no longer working and should not be going out with so few miles

- Gardena, CA, USA

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.

The vehicle does not always start when you pressed the start button and only clicks. This can be dangerous if the car stalls in a busy intersection or rail road crossing and the vehicle cannot be started. To start the vehicle (keyless w/fob), you have to press the brake and press the start button. It appears that the brake pedal pressure and the starting of the car may be part of the issue as we have noticed that the car will more likely start when the brake pedal is soft vs. Hard. Not sure if the issue is isolated to the start button, brake master cylinder, both or the electronics that interacts when these two. Any assistance that you may provide with this issue is appreciated. Thank you

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

The ignition switch took forever to start engine. I had to have the starter changed and paid vandergriff Honda dealer $600+. I believe it has something to do with the battery sensor that affects also the alternator.

Our 2014 Honda Accord (purchased "certified pre-owned") has an intermittent issue. First of all the car has 53,000 miles. Have already had to replace the battery; since replacing the battery, a myriad of lights come and go on the dash for approximately 1 month. Now the lights are staying on - brake, ABS, fcw, ldw, steering assist. Dealer says "probably" the ABS module ($1400). Launched a complaint about this issue with Honda America - they tell me to take it in and have it checked. My question(s) were (a) by spending $1400, is this going to fix it or will it "probably" fix it. (B) how long before it happens again?- keep in mind the first one lasted 53,000 miles (C) how dangerous is this" no answers to any of these questions were answered; the only thing that was clear was that it wasn't a widespread issue because the nhsta or Honda hadn't issued any kind of tsb or recall. I thought it was somewhat telling when I called another dealership, spoke with the desk person in service. While over the phone, explained the lights that were on - the answer of "it's the ABS module" was instant. For something that isn't "common" or widespread, this was a very quick reply. Also a google search turns up other issues just like the one we are having. Just wonder how safe this is"

Ref prior complaints 11048722, 11035177, 11003743... on 1/9/18, a new remanufactured starter purchased from Honda, was installed in this vehicle. Mileage was 64740. Today, 2/22/18, the grinding noise occurred on one start attempt - this is the first issue with the new starter - milegae is 65880. So, in just over 1100 miles, 1 1/2 mo, and an average of maybe 40 to 50 starts/week, the problem is resurfacing. I had this vehicle at Honda to complete a prior recall - on 12/13/17 and it did not start there. Service manager made excuse about the replacement starter not being from Honda... well - this one is... something in the system somewhere is causing this issue. While it manifests as a mechanical grinding, clicking noise, it is an electrical failure in the system as has been noted before, and it is very random... how am I going to be able to re-sell a vehicle with such a problem - a Honda design flaw has caused considerable damage to the car's value, not to mention expenses and time lost. See old/new starter pix... please keep the investigation moving forward - I have suffered a loss, as have many others!!

Starting in Dec. 2017 the engine starter would not start the car at times. Problem continued to occur so I took the car to the Honda service dealership and had to have a new engine starter put in. Multiple complaints online with 2013-2014 Honda Accord engine starter failing just out of the Honda mileage/year warranty, yet Honda does not chose to fix the problem with a recall for this part.

Stationary. Push button start making a grinding noise and numerous attempts for vehicle to start.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. While driving 20-30 mph around a curve, the auto brakes engaged and an unknown warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to vidmar motor company (600 N albany ave, pueblo, co 81003, (719) 544-5844) on several occasions, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The dealer's general manager was taken for a test drive, but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 17V418000 (electrical system) as a possible cause. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 500.

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.

My car kept shutting down.I had to keep jumping it every time I started it. I took it to shop and they made me pay $130 for new battery. I feel it was related to battery recall and I shouldnt have had to pay. But they said there was a bad cell in it and it wasnt related to the recall

Vehicle was parked in aparking lot as I had to do a quick errand at costco. Car was turned off with fan running. My wife stayed back in the car. After I came back after about 15-20 mins, the trunk wont open and all dashboard lights in car were off. Car wont start at all. I tried starting for few mins without fail. Luckily I could jump start the car using the jump start kit in costco tire centre. I took in the car to dealer as this had happened before and battery had to be replaced. This time around everything was ok. Dealer advised me to not run the accesories without car engine running. Dealer mentioned that in order to keep car weight low, manufacturers are switching to smaller and smaller batteries. This is a safety issue as the occupants are at physical risk if this happens in the a desolate place or car could be unavailable in an emergency situation. Mitigations expected are (1) car computers should detect battery drain and automatically shut off to allow for car to start, (2) have a secondary battery backup just for these situations, (3) there is should be option to switch to a bigger battery.

I noticed when my car is running(stationary) with heat on and headlights on after couple of minutes it makes a click noice which affects the lights(headlights). When car is moving (in motion) all of a sudden lights become super dim as if they are barely any lights. Some days lights work as if they are brand new and covers the entire street.
