Experiencing intermittent starting issues. Car usually takes multiple attempts to start. Usually on around the third or fourth attempt it starts, but has taken up to 10-12 attempts or more to start. Keyed ignition, not push button. When it fails to start, engine doesn't crank at all, there is just one single 'click' sound. Took it to the Honda dealer, they said it's most likely a bad starter and quoted around $700 to replace the starter. The car only has 35K miles, which seems very low miles to have starter issues. After looking at all the other complaints about this issue, I believe there should be a recall to address this, as this is clearly a systemic problem. My teenage daughter and wife both drive this car, and I'm very concerned about this issue causing them to be stranded somewhere. That's definitely a huge safety issue. It also doesn't seem fair for me to have to pay $700 to repair an issue that is clearly due to a faulty part, just to a have a car that starts when it's supposed to. All those people who have paid to have the starter issues fixed should be reimbursed by Honda too.

Car purchased in Aug 2014. I was very excited to purchase a brand new Honda. Around the second year mark or 55,000miles. Started having crank issues one night. Car was taking to the dealership the next day or so. It wasn't put on a diagnostic machine. Battery checked. Sensor recall competed. I had to purchase a new battery with a three warranty. Costing $180. The issue still continues to today (Aug 6, 2019), even after purchasing a new starter. This is given me a headache. Honda corporate was notified. No resolution. Contact the dealership. No resolution. On car complaints and car gurus, customers have gotten multiple things fixed and cars continue with the same issue

The push button start is not working. Power comes on but the car does not turn over. Sometimes it works after the third or fourth time. Sometimes I say a little pray.

About a week ago I called aaa for service for my 2014 Accord. It would not start. The technician checked the battery and found it to be fine. He then tried to start the car and it started right up. We drove home and had no problems for several days until last Saturday when my wife returned to the car with groceries and uncounted the same problem. My wife is 87 and with the high heat and perishables it was not a pleasant experience. Again, after calling my son for aid, the car finally started and we planned a Monday visit to your enterprise. Since my wife had a doctors appointment at noon, we prayed that the car would start for the trip to the doctor's and then for the drive to the dealership.it started for the first trip and then after about 10 minutes for the second trip to. A car that may or may not start can place people in danger and should be viewed as a safety issue.

Problem starting engine. Some times it would start without a problem. Other times it would simply click and not start. After trying to start multiple times, it usually would finally start. Replaced the starter. No difference. Tested the original starter and it tested good. Put the original starter back in the vehicle. Was told by the parts store that there had been multiple problems just like this.

Starter failure. Sometimes the car would start on initial try. Other times the car would not start on the initial try. It would just click. I never knew when it would happen.

I purchase this vehicle from a 3rd party. Before buying it, the buyer replaced the starter the same day I purchase the car based on his mechanic recommendation. He explain to me that he had problems starting the car when its in park, sometime it worked the first time, but sometime it had to push the bottom up to 5 times and push the brake really hard. About 3 weeks later, the same thing happen to me, the car will not start, it makes a grinding sound, then start doing it more often so I took it to my mechanic and he recommended call the buyer and ask his mechanic to replace it again and see if it will fix the problem. After the second replacement 2 weeks later it did it again, and it been doing it for the last 2 months since I purchase the car. It seems like this is not the "starter" it has to be another electrical problem, and based on the complaints, it seems like is the same problem, but no solution. Please recall this problem before the car don't start at all.

Last time: May 2019 - no lights, the started does not turn. Battery was 13.4 V. mileage 58K.

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.

While driving at slow speeds, 20 mph or less, car dies and then restarts on it's own. Twice while turning and once after the car was in park.

I took my car to oil change service at Honda dealership. The next day my car won't start. I had to call aaa to jump start my car. 5 days later, it died again. Called aaa to jump start it again. 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 happens. This is unsafe especially if you get stranded somewhere.

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 27 miles from home in a parking structure and the car did not want to start at all.

Starter is failing from time to time. When using push-button start, sometimes the starter makes a strong grinding noise and does not start the vehicle. It will sometimes do this for one, two, or three attempts in a row. Eventually, the starter will work. I'm afraid the starter will eventually fail completely. Car has less than 75,000 miles.

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 Accord. I paid for the new starter since I did not want to be stranded if the car wouldn't start. I filed a complaint with Honda North America but they said the starter is not an issue and there is no need for a recall. I'm concerned that there have been so many complaints about the Honda starters without a recall and it poses a safety risk if people are stranded by a part that fails prematurely. Although I have a new starter I fear it may fail like the first one did. I've attached photos of the invoice from the Honda dealership explaining the issue. Thank you for your time and consideration.

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.

- Third Lake, IL, USA

When trying to start the car, it won't turn on, like the battery is dead or I need a new starter. This has been happening for about 3 months everyday. Before it was every once in awhile.
