Driver entered car after grocery shopping. Car was put into drive and light accelerator pressure was applied appropriate for moving out of the parking space. Car proceeded to advance slowly at first but suddenly accelerated. The amount of rapid and sudden acceleration was inconsistent and disproportionate with the amount of pressure and effort that was applied to the accelerator when advancing from the parking space. Three (3) pedestrians were either hit directly by the car or the resultant debris from the accident. Two (2) required medical care/hospitalization. Additionally there was significant property damage to the grocery store and vehicle. The cost to repair damage to the vehicle has been appraised at about $9,500. The extent and nature of injuries to pedestrians and damage to building has not yet been determined. The 2014 Honda Accord according to public NHTSA database reporting has experienced at least 17 sudden acceleration events (sae) attributed to failed vehicle speed control with strikingly similar circumstances. According to NHTSA public reportings Honda has been notified of some of these 17 saes. The saes are not limited to just 2014 Honda Accord. It has been reported in other model years in 9th generation Accord. The 2014 Honda Accord are part of the 9th generation Honda Accord from (2013 to 2017) in North America. Request NHTSA investigate sudden acceleration events in 9th generation Honda Accord (2013 to 2017) in North America. There are significant number of instances of sae to observe a clear and present pattern to warrant an in-dept investigation. There have been prior instances of Honda recalling vehicles due to sae.

The car did not turn on. Had to jump it. After jump battery was still good. But all safety light in the car came on. The battery is 2-year-olds and still under warranty. Took it to the dealer and they are testing it now. But dealer mentioned that they need to put a new battery in to test it first.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to an unknown Honda dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact mentioned that the battery was replaced multiple times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 62,314.

My 2014 Honda Accord car could not start without two or three attempts. On July 31 2019, I took the car to a Honda dealer for possible battery problem but was found that the battery was good. About a week after, the car was showing similar problems, I.e, by turning the key in the ignition, I was not able to start the car with the first and sometimes with the second attempt. On August 13 2019, I took the car back to the same dealer and was told by supervisor that the starter was no longer good so needed to be changed. This was after my warranty expired a little over a month ago. I argued with the person that handled my car that why the started could go bad while driven 30,883 miles only. The only advise I was given was that if I didn't change the starter, the car would completely stop from starting. So I decided the dealer to put a new starter with a total of $798.25 price tag.

There was a battery electrical sensor recalled in which I have already replaced but now the mechanic is saying there is an electrical issue with the starter sensor delays. My car has 75K and takes 6 or so times to start when pushing the start button. There appears to be a large community of 2013-2014 Honda Accord owners experiencing the same thing and needing to be replaced every 20K thereafter. Please issue a recall. With having a baby in the car, I cannot afford to become stranded in the heat, not to mention the high expense this costs with no guarantee it will not need to be fixed again after 20K miles. Long time Honda owner who does not want to switch brands but needs safety and integrity to be top priority from a car manufacturer.

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 recall so paid out of my own pocket myself. And now for it to happen again is a bummer so I should of filed a compliment the first time around but didn't know about it I figured it might of been something I did but now I know now. And it's the second time this happened and I don't know what else to do I fix the problem and it just comes back

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

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.

- Delaware, OH, USA

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.

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.
