I believe it is a starter issue. When I go to start the vehicle it will often stall and not the start the first couple times and I can hear it try to start but fail. The car only has 39K miles on it and I was doing my research and a lot of other people have this same issue with their 2014 Accord. I think this should be considered a recall and fixed by Honda or refunded for repair by Honda.

2014 Honda Accord LX 2.4 car has been burning excess oil of about 1 quart per 500 miles. Low pressure oil light has come on 3 separate occasions with car stalling. This happened after relatively short intervals between oil changes and adds. Tailpipe has excessive carbon buildup. Replaced PCV valve and issue continues. Car only has 100K miles on it. Dealers are of no help and describe the problem has normal. Honda has a recall on older model (2008-2011) models so it appears they have not fixed their engine problems. There are 1000S of complaints on the web about this issue. It's time that Honda recalls these vehicles. I'm sure there are a lot of unsuspecting drivers out there who are unaware of this that could have a catastrophic engine failure. I was totally unaware. Of the problem until low pressure light flickered. When I checked oil it was bone dry. Please read the number of complaints. This is not normal for cars in this age range.

On Friday, 11/15/19, my car notified me to check my fuel cap, so I checked it and closed it until the hearing the clicking sound. On saturday11/16/19, the engine light came on; I'd been smelling a strong smell of gas for about two weeks, and I thought it was coming from inside of my home, I had someone to go and check my home and found nothing wrong there. It wasn't until I was pumping gas into my car (turned off), and when it reached full, the handle clicked, and I could hear the gas pouring out onto the ground.

Accord 4-cyl

  • 62,500 miles
My 2014 Honda Accord starts by a key fob and push button starter. Recently, the car would take 5-6 attempts to start.. now it will not start at all. It just will not crank over. I have about 65,000 miles but as I research "starter problems of the 2014 Honda Accord", I get over 70 of the same complaints from one website. Some of the other same complaints with mileage from 15,000 to more than 70,000. I called american Honda, 1-800-999-1009, and my case number is: [xxx]. I spoke to [xxx] on 10/31/19. She said they are aware of this "issue" but cannot do anything I asked how many complaints must they have before they do an official recall. She cannot answer. I asked if they will do anything for me in light of so many complaints? she says no, it is over the warranty. I could not obtain any information as to the cause of the problem not the fix from american Honda. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The car is burning oil. I completed an oil consumption test as requested by the Honda dealer and the oil consumption is high, leading them to conclude that the car is burning oil.

This problem with 2014 H Accord exists since Nov. 2018 (mileage then approx.. 49,000 mi). The starter clicks (battery is full) and nothing is happening. After several attempts the engine typically started. In June 2019 I checked at Honda dealership whether the battery switch recall is the offender. It was not. They could not replicate the issue ' despite my detailed description how the non-start event happens. In 2019 this issue started showing up with higher frequency ' just yesterday I got stranded on the road in parking lot. Had to leave car there overnight (attempted to start maybe 20 times with different P-N configurations ' battery about 13.6 V) ' no success ' the car and starter were dead (1 click only). Came back next morning with towing service. The car started. This issue with malfunctioning starter is on- and -off. Hundreds of people have exactly the same problem with the starter with this H. Accord LX 2014 model. The H. dealer pretended that they are not familiar with the issue (plenty of complains on the internet which I showed them). I am waiting for oem starter part to be replaced. Car has 61,000 miles now. It is way premature for the starter to develop these types of problems ' which for me last exactly for one year (Nov. 2018) and creates a real road hazard, especially in winter time. Recall from Honda is necessary. It is systemic issue here.

Accord

  • 30,000 miles
My vehicle was parked with the engine shut off and out of nowhere when I went to start it it wouldn't start I tried maybe jumping it but it wasn't working so I had to get it towed. And turns out it was the little connector to the battery terminal so I purchased the part at the dealer and had the mechanic install it the first time. Now it is happening again and I didn't realize the first time I did it the part was a recall so paid out of my own pocket myself. And now for it to happen again is a bummer so I should of filed a compliment the first time around but didn't know about it I figured it might of been something I did but now I know now. And it's the second time this happened and I don't know what else to do I fix the problem and it just comes back

Accord

  • 35,000 miles
Experiencing intermittent starting issues. Car usually takes multiple attempts to start. Usually on around the third or fourth attempt it starts, but has taken up to 10-12 attempts or more to start. Keyed ignition, not push button. When it fails to start, engine doesn't crank at all, there is just one single 'click' sound. Took it to the Honda dealer, they said it's most likely a bad starter and quoted around $700 to replace the starter. The car only has 35K miles, which seems very low miles to have starter issues. After looking at all the other complaints about this issue, I believe there should be a recall to address this, as this is clearly a systemic problem. My teenage daughter and wife both drive this car, and I'm very concerned about this issue causing them to be stranded somewhere. That's definitely a huge safety issue. It also doesn't seem fair for me to have to pay $700 to repair an issue that is clearly due to a faulty part, just to a have a car that starts when it's supposed to. All those people who have paid to have the starter issues fixed should be reimbursed by Honda too.

My 2014 Honda Accord plug in has stalled twice while driving (once on the freeway and once in the middle of a santa monica boulevard). No warning lights or noises to give me the fyi that it's stalling, it just suddenly starts to slow and if I press on the gas pedal it compresses to the floor with ease...it also shows me in ev mode when the car has no ev charge remaining. It's like it's in limp mode. Turning the car off and turning it back on again fixes the issue, but when I've taken it to the dealer (twice) they have pulled the computer and have found no records on the car. They say it's "as if the car has never been driven before".

About a week ago I called aaa for service for my 2014 Accord. It would not start. The technician checked the battery and found it to be fine. He then tried to start the car and it started right up. We drove home and had no problems for several days until last Saturday when my wife returned to the car with groceries and uncounted the same problem. My wife is 87 and with the high heat and perishables it was not a pleasant experience. Again, after calling my son for aid, the car finally started and we planned a Monday visit to your enterprise. Since my wife had a doctors appointment at noon, we prayed that the car would start for the trip to the doctor's and then for the drive to the dealership.it started for the first trip and then after about 10 minutes for the second trip to. A car that may or may not start can place people in danger and should be viewed as a safety issue.

Car will fail to start. This is a safety hazard. If the car stalls and won't restart depending on location, eg highway, it could be a major safety hazard. My 2014 Honda Accord has intermittent starter problems. Sometimes it starts fine, other times the lights all go on but nothing else happens. When it won't start turning the car off and trying again usually works. I can also get it to start by leaving the key turned to the start position and pumping the clutch. This indicates the ignition switch is ok and the clutch start sensor switch is ok. I have called the dealer and they say they have replaced a bunch of starters but there is no recall. They want $800 to replace the starter. A web search indicates the starter is a common problem for 2014 Accord. When is the recall" I need to get this fixed. How do I get re-reimbursed if I have this fixed before the recall"
