The car does not start consistently. I have replaced the battery two times and the starter. I will turn the key and the engine will not crank over, sometimes it will start up 30 seconds or a minute later after I attempt a couple of times. The Honda mechanic forum is stating that this is a very common problem from owners of this ninth gen Honda Accord.

Unknown. Just off of warranty, vehicle has started to exhibit intermittent failure to crank/ start on an increasing number of occasions. Could leave driver stranded. Turning key 180 degrees, using valet key, and waiting for various periods of time has allowed the vehicle to start ( so far). Research shows Honda replaces starters on 2013 and earlier Accords under a recall, but claims problem has been cured in 2014 and later Accords. An online search for 2014 and later Accords show the problem persists and has not been corrected.

- Arlington, TX, USA
The vehicle is a push start. For several weeks now my car will not start on the first try. I put my foot on the brake press the button and the engine will not start. It gives a clicking noise and the air conditioning and displays come on. Sometimes I have to try 5 times and eventually, it starts. Other times I have to try more than 30 times to get the vehicle to start. I put my foot on the brake and press the button. If the engine does not start, I turn the car completely off and try again. Now the car will not start no matter how many times I press the button with my foot on the brake. This happens when the car has been turned off and parked.

Numerous consumers have had the same problem with the 2014 Honda Accord ignition switch. Honda refuses to do a recall on it. Honda did a recall of other Honda except mines and a few others which should be against the law. If you search on line. The ignition switch is the main problem for 2014 Honda Accord and maybe the reason for numerous accidents, life threatening situations where the car doesn't start in unsafe areas or at night when getting off of work. Please investigate

- Anaheim, CA, USA
Got my starter replaced since it was turning off on me but that did not fix the issue. Reading a lot of similar situations. My car has turned off on me once on the freeway and I almost got hit the good thing is I was on the far left lane and turned the wheel on time, but my car was still sticking out a bit I almost got hit multiple times. Turned off on me twice on the street luckily I was in traffic, still a scary and risky situation. Also tried replacing the alternator did not work.

There is no live image upon entering in reverse gear, the camera feed has gone black.
- East Brunswick, NJ, USA
The car has intermittently had a no crank start problem for the past six months. I thought it was due to a failing battery but that was replaced and the problem has progressively worsened. It will eventually start as of now. According to google, this is a common problem with the Accord that will eventually lead to it not starting at all and a costly repair that may or may not solve the problem. This has happened while parked.

The failing starter is a well known issue among the Honda Accord community. The starter begins to fail prematurely and eventually will fail to start the car leaving the driver and or their passengers stranded. This can happen at anytime/anywhere the vehicle needs to be started. There is a current tsb to replace the starter and turn the flex plate one bolt hole over. Many times this happens after any warranty has expired leaving the owner to pay out of pocket a large amount of money.
