    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…

    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.

    I own a 2008 honda accord which i purchased brand new in 2008. After i reached about 75,000 miles i started having extreme oil consumption which then lead to me having to replace vtc actuator and piston rings costing me almost $2,000. I have taken my car in multiple times and they tell me there is no issues and honda refuses to do anything. I now can only go about 1,000 miles without having to replenish the oil. As…
