Car won't start randomly even with battery jump. It happened a few months ago when the car was parked in garage. I thought perhaps we left a light on or something but car started with battery jump. A few days ago, now my wife could start a car while she was waiting for kids from school parking lot. Thankfully she was able to get some help to jump start the car. Later when she returned home, I also found it not starting again in my home drive way and I can't jump start the car anymore. It has less than 26000 miles... she is now afraid to take the car as it may start at all.

I have a 2015 Honda Accord cp with about 60K miles. I it can not start this morning, all the dash lights flash and it isn't cranking. It happened last year but it could start after a half hour, and it run well until this morning. It just wont start no matter how hard I tried.

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.

My vehicle's starter periodically grinds and will not engage the ring gear to start the engine. Honda has acknowledged that improper installation at the factory caused the clearance between the starter motor gear and torque converter ring gear to be improper. See tsb 16-002. The starter will engage after repeated (sometimes 5+) attempts. If the vehicle were to experience a stall while driving, the inability to restart the engine could lead to a crash. In addition, a starter that randomly and unexpectedly fails to engage could cause a driver to be stranded in potentially dangerous weather conditions. Honda has declined to extend warranty coverage to this part that has failed due to an admitted error on their part.

Starter began grinding and skipping at 55,000 miles. I drive 70 miles round trip each day, so the mileage doesn't represent the actual limited amount of starts I have had with this car. Tsb from Honda declares 'improper clearance in starter with pinion gear may cause starting malfunction.' Must rotate torque converter bolts one round clockwise and replace starter to fix. But, this won't fix the issue. The improper clearance is a design flaw. New starter will do the same thing. If the starter malfunctions again, then a new torque converter is required. This is absolutely ridiculous and unfounded in car maintenance. A bad starter design costs owners +3,400$ to remedy the second time. Which still won't fix it. The third starter still won't have the proper clearance.

Car does not start even thought battery is fine. Honda is unwilling to help without a diagnostic fee on an issue many 2013-2015 Accord models have. Car was parked after running completely fine, when I was trying to start it again it refused to turn on completely. Tire light flashes and avs/engine/battery light are on.

Inconsistent start up. One click without actually starting. It may take 1-20 attempts to turnover. Battery is about a year old. Mileage is 117,000 miles. Basic maintenance has been performed on this vehicle.

My car has 58,000 miles. And now the car start up first time and after starting and stopping it the vehicle will intermittently not start. When I push the push start button the lights come on and the radio and the heat comes on but it just clicks. I took it to the local Honda dealer and they recommend the I replace the starter and rotating the torque converter one bold hole counterclockwise.

Vehicle is not starting when I push 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 replaced the battery and had the electrical system tested with no issue found. Honda issued tsb 16-002 for V6 Accord models but doesn't acknowledge the issue on my V4 model. Vehicle is parked - issue has been ongoing and is getting progressively worse to the point that I am not drving it! spoke with Honda customer complaint rep and informed that the tsb still does not apply to my car. In the mid-West during the winter months the risk of being stranded in sub-zero temps is very real with this issue and has already happened to me twice.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the push start button feature would intermittently fail to function; taking multiple attempts to activate the vehicle. The contact had not taken the vehicle to be serviced by a dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired. Upon investigation, he discovered a technical service bulletin: A16-002 which he related to the failure. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

- Cliffside Park, NJ, USA

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.

Vehicle needs new battery every 2 years. Has left me stranded twice. The car has less than 90,000 miles and is only 4 years old. Honda has replaced under recall some type of battery sensor but this has not helped. There are two tsb's that I know of: Tsb 16-002 and tsb 17-057. Car gurus website has a blog with a large number of Accord owners all in the same boat. People are replacing starters, alternators, ignition switches, batteries, etc. To no avail. Honda has turned its back on its customers. I can not afford this. Please help.

The past month my vehicle will start intermittently. I will turn the key and nothing happens. No click from the starter or nothing. Lights come on. Turn key to off and try again and it starts. Battery and alternator tested good. My guess it is the starter going bad or the starter relay. Car has 75000 miles on it. Obviously car is parked. This occurred 11/20/2019 to present. It is random when it does happen and is happening more often.

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!

Whenever attempting to start the vehicle after it had recently been turned off (ex: When getting gas or running into store quickly) the dash and interior lights up and chimes but makes no attempt at start (no fuel pump power or attempt to crank over motor) and this occurs frequently amidst my vehicle and others of the same year/ make without ever receiving a check engine light or warning. He noted as well that the vehicle has had the battery, starter, and alternator tested without any conclusive results as to the issue. Honda dealership as well failed to give me or other owners a conclusive fix for the issue and remains ongoing.

The cars radio randomly reboots and freezes while in use and driving. Calls will drop, display will blank, and reset itself. There are times when we have to park the car, power it off and restart to clear the issue. Honda tells us there is nothing wrong and it is a normal occurrence.

We had to replace the cars alternator at 37K miles, the battery at 16 months, and have replaced headlights 6 times since owning the car.

All of the door actuators failed at 30000 miles I spend 400 dollars fixing just one drivers side)

In the last year my car has not turned on 3 times. When I push the start button it just clicks and all the warning lights come on. Only after many attempts and waiting more than half hour it finally turns on with all warning lights. In July, we changed the battery. Thinking this might be the problem. It was not. Again today the car would not start and all the warning lights are on. I took it to the dealer who is charging me $150!to do a diagnostic check. I purchased the car in 2015 brand new. It currently has 35K miles. A car with few miles and only 4 yrs old should not be giving any problems. Even less having to pay for a diagnostic or manufacturing related problems.
