    Starter system failed to start the engine. It turned on electrical but would not start the car. The lights turned on and there was one click but nothing else despite repeated attempts to start the car. Left me stranded.

    Headlights keep blowing and car will not start guessing it's the starter. I think the wires keep blowing the lights out.

I took it to honda dealership to get it inspected. I paid them $100+ just for them to say, "everything looks fine to me". 5 days later, it died again. To which at this point, i would rather not drive it again until a recall…

    Honda accord 2014 fails to start after multiple tries, then works out of the blue. I am worried it will leave me stranded one if these days. My car is only 33k miles. Honda needs to do a recall. We should all file a petition against honda starter issues. I see multiple similar complaints.

    About two months ago my 2014 honda accord would not start on the first try. My car was stationary, and i would need to press the push button start several times before it started. Lundgren honda in auburn massachusetts said i needed a new starter. I did not expect a starter to fail on a car with 43k miles, and i've read online that this is a known issue especially with the 2013 and 2014 accords. I paid for the new…

    Since nov.2018 i have the starter problem. With ignition key in either the lights come up - no turning, or is grinds and dies (garage). I replaced the battery thinking it is the battery problem (voltage ~ 12.2 v). Mileage about 52k. With new battery i experienced this problem 2-3 times again (parking lot). Last time: may 2019 - no lights, the started does not turn. Battery was 13.4 v. Mileage 58k.

    Push button start does not work intermittently. It will go through start sequence but does not turn over engine. Have to wait a period of time to start or try multipile times until turns over. I have been stranded in parking lots several times. On review of internet i see that this is an ongoing problem with this model and year.

    Please note that there was a recall for the 2013 honda accord for similar issues. The vehicle will at times not start and only make a grinding noise when depressing the start button, this still occurring after changing the battery and starter twice in addition to the fob battery. I speculate that the braking system may contribute to this issue as sometimes the car will start after pumping/pressing the brake pedal a…

    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…

    When trying to turn the car on, the car may start or not. It's almost a gamble when trying to turn the car on. Honda has always been safe and reliable but due to this ignition problem i don't feel safe or it's reliability. The car is push to start, so when it does not want to start it can take anywhere from 2 to 8 try's before the car starts. I had an instance in the past two months where my phone was dead and i was…

    My 2014 honda accord has been having intermittent issues with the push-button start for several months. I took it to the dealership who replaced the battery and things worked a little better for a couple of weeks, but it is back to not starting intermittently when i hold down the brake and push the starter button.

    When pushing the start button, sometimes the car would start, and sometimes it wouldn't. When it would not start, i would have to try it 3 to 5 times to get it to start. My 2014 honda has 71k miles and the starter has gone out. Cost to replace my starter was $537.43. My friend, with an idential vehicle, also had her starter go out at 60k miles (same issue). The starter should not be going bad this soon on a…

    While vehicle is stationary and moving the back up camera is black when in reverse with guidelines. It got darker and pixilated then when black about 2 months ago. Now the side lanewatch camera has also stopped working when blinker is on or button pressed. Very dangerous to have limited visibility especially when backing out of a parking spot or on a garage. Please address this!

    Ignition problems. Car will not start on initial try. It takes several attempts to start it. My car only has 66k miles. Im afraid it will leave me stranded somewhere because it did not start. I put a complaint with honda, i think it is a factory defect, which has plagued this company for years. I am hoping your agency can go further with this issue. Thank you

Battery and alternator have checked out. The car only has 65,000 miles on it, and at the five year mark, we should not be having starter issues. Similar complaints have been shared online in forums, videos, etc. The issue is now becoming more frequent…

    Often takes multiple times to start the car. Sometimes it starts right up, other times it takes 2,3,4,5...10 times to start, and sometimes it can take up to 20 minutes to get it started. Once it's started, the car runs very well. The problem is becoming more frequent. When you press the ignition button, sometimes it makes a clicking sound, sometimes it makes no sound. All the auxiliary power comes on but the engine…
