2014 Honda Accord start issue I purchased the car about 2 years ago and at the time it only had about 30K miles. The starter died after about 62K miles. The Honda dealership charged me $840 to have it replaced. After it was replaced I found out that other people had issues with starter only after 3K even when the cars were under warranty. There was a class action lawsuit against Honda for the Accord for years 2013-2015. Honda new there was an issue with the starter has failed to do a recall on the car. There is no way that my starter should have failed so soon.

A few weeks ago, our 2014 Honda Accord LX, would not consistently start. I took it to two different auto-shops, including the dealership. The first auto shop could not figure out what was wrong. They said they started the car ~100 times and the car started every time. I then took the car to a dealership. The dealership said it was the starter. I replaced the starter and the car started up fine. A couple of days after fixing the car, the car did not start. The battery was tested and is okay. Our car was towed to a trusted mechanic. The mechanic said that the starter was fine and that he suspects the original did not need replacement. He said there's some sort of electrical issue, but could not figure out exactly where the issue is. He said it must be somewhere between the ignition and starter. Our leaving the car with him so that he can have other technicians inspect it.

This just out of warranty vehicle has had some odd problems, some that made the car unsafe to drive, 1) ac compressor clutch melted onto compressor. Fixed under warranty. 2) timing belt tensioner leaked fluid, fixed under warranty. 3) dealer diagnosed ABS module fault. An intermittent failure. Car was out of warranty. This problem caused every other electronic safety system in the car to intermittently fail. Opened a case with american Honda who denied any responsibility for the problem. These units fail rarely and should last the life of the vehicle. The part (36,000 mile 3-yr warranty) was even back ordered from the manufacturer. For example, only 1 unit was replaced in atlanta, ga since 2014, they wanted almost $1,600 to fix the issue. Took it to another specialist who fixed it for under $600 by finding a used part. I think Honda should have been more accommodating and concerned. This problem caused the ABS, ldw, fcw, and traction control systems to eventually fail. Literally, I was lucky that I didn't get in a bad accident as the ABS was actually functioning (the day a car turned left in front of me) and saved me from skidding into and T-boning another car. But all these odd issues just leaves me wondering... when's the next weird problem going to pop up?

The car will not start from the first push of starting button while the brake pedal is depressed. It takes at least 3 times to start the cart. I changed the battery and battery for keys. I went to the dealership and they the problem of not starting from first time still happened.

Car just turned 5 years old with 85,000 miles and the car won't start. I was almost stranded at the coffee shop when after the 12th time trying to start car it started. When key turned nothing happens. I immediately took to dealer where told me the starter is no good and needs to be replaced. I'm extremely disappointed and will probably not buy another Honda. I originally bought a Honda because they were known for their reliability but a $700 issue on a 5 year old car is not reliable. I would've bought a Chevy if that's what I was looking for. When I bought the Honda I was told by salesman I wouldn't have to worry about anything until 300,000 miles. Well I didn't even make it to 100,000 miles.

My car would not start. I was told I needed a new starter. The car is not more than 5 years old and only 47,000 in mileage. Poor Honda! I'd like a more reliable car that will not keep me stranded.

I've noticed that the car is consuming oil at least 1 quart before 1K miles. I took it to the dealer at yonkers Honda on 12/28/2018 and the service representative advised to bring back the car at 1K miles for an oil consumption test.

Since I bought the car I've had problems with the car staying on and running, when I come to turn it on, it shuts off. I have taken it to Honda dealers and they don't see anything wrong with it.

I am having the same starter issues as so many on a blog that I was reading after having my 2014 Honda Accord for 4 year. I just came back from the dealership and I was told you need to change the starter and this part is out of warranty. They quoted me 865. Then I complain and they called the Honda rep and they told me I had to pay 200. I am still in a state of shock after seeing all these complain and Honda hasn't addressed this issue yet. I am so disappointed with Honda and its reputation

Pressing the start button with key fob next to it turns on the ignition as well as the lights on the dash but does not crank the engine, will have to try multiple times to start the engine. This is happening intermittently and started about a month ago, seems to be getting progressively worse as the last incident required repeating 6 times to get this started. Purchased the vehicle new from the dealership and only has 30K miles, all maintenance performed at the dealership. Disappointed to experience such issue from a Honda as the decision to purchase was solely based on the reputation of Honda.

I have been experiencing trouble starting my car recently. I push the start button have my food on the break and it takes a few times sometimes over 4 times to actually start the car. Lights and everything come on when I push to start but the engine is not turning over. Dealership tested battery, alternator, starter, and wiring and everything looked to be working correctly. My car was checked twice for the battery sensor recall issue affecting my make and model and it checked out fine both times.

We have approximately 34,000 miles on our 2014 Honda Accord V6. As many people have complained, there is a faulty starter issue. When the vehicle is stationary, and we are attempting to start the vehicle, we depress the push start button and hear many clicks but no turn over of the engine. We have to make several attempts to start the engine. Upon calling the dealership, they were well aware of the issue but stated Honda has yet to do anything to resolve the widespread problem.
