I have had 1 oem honda starter replaced and 2 aftermarket ones. The car intermittently starts. Sometimes immediately and sometimes leaves me stranded. I took the car in a few times to the honda dealership in the past and since i couldn't replicate it they couldn't do anything and was charged the diagnostic fee $180. This car is so unreliable that i can't even have my kids drive it fearing them being stranded. I had…

Car suddenly brakes, panic breaking, with no warning and for no reason, causing me to be in danger of hitting from behind as there is nothing in front of me causing the people behind to slow. Once this happened on the interstate, with all 3 lanes clear in front of me. I was surprised the guy behind be didn't hit me, as most drivers are following to close, counting on seeing any danger in front of them through my…

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.

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…

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.…

2nd occurence-while driving up a hill at approximately 30 mph the warnings for brake system failure, acc, lane departure mitigationand collision detection came on. The first time it happened i was told that the sensor had been dislodged. This time they are saying that there is a crack in the tail light assembly which set off the warning system. The braking system and a new brake assembly is needed. The brake lights…

My reverse camera pulls up on the screen as i've been driving for well over 30 mins and my rpm gauge has went out and goes blank every other hour or so. Happened about 7 times this past month. Pretty dangerous because when the following car function is on it immediately stops works, i've swerved to avoid accidents. This is all happening as i drive
