Hello the car was working fine yesterday and today will not start. This has happened before. It makes clicking but refuses to start. I had it checked at ntb could nor find any issues with battery. I am now looking into buying a $400 part + labor to replace a starter on a less than 70000 car. I will never buy a Honda again. This brand has an issue and refuses to acknowledge it.

My car is having issues turning on. It is brand new 2015 from a Honda certified lot. Upon startup I hear a grinding or whining noise from the starter area. (not always) maybe a faulty starter motor and incorrect positioning of the torque converter ring gear, the gear with which the starter meshes to spin the engine at startup. It is a problem I have every day when I try to turn on my car. Sometime it goes on the first press start, other times, I've waited an hour in my car trying to turn it on to get to my next destination.

My car sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't start. Sometimes it starts right away on the first try. Sometimes it takes multiple tries after a few seconds to a few minutes. The times when it doesn't start, I turn the key in the ignition and hear one single tiny click. The dash board lights come on, radio plays, air cond. Works, wipers work headlights work. Eventually, after a few retries, the engine will start. Sometimes it starts after waiting a few minutes. When I do get the car started, it runs perfectly smooth. No stalling or sputtering, no weird noises, no problems with acceleration. It's only on starting when there is a problem this has been going on for about 6/7 months.

My vehicle's starter periodically grinds and will not engage the ring gear to start the engine. Honda has acknowledged that improper installation at the factory caused the clearance between the starter motor gear and torque converter ring gear to be improper. See tsb 16-002. The starter will engage after repeated (sometimes 5+) attempts. If the vehicle were to experience a stall while driving, the inability to restart the engine could lead to a crash. In addition, a starter that randomly and unexpectedly fails to engage could cause a driver to be stranded in potentially dangerous weather conditions. Honda has declined to extend warranty coverage to this part that has failed due to an admitted error on their part.

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 clearance is a design flaw. New starter will do the same thing. If the starter malfunctions again, then a new torque converter is required. This is absolutely ridiculous and unfounded in car maintenance. A bad starter design costs owners +3,400$ to remedy the second time. Which still won't fix it. The third starter still won't have the proper clearance.

Manual transmission keeps slipping out of 2nd gear and can't engage in 2nd gear. Was told from transmissions shops that this problem is happening with other 2015 Honda Accord with low mileage.

Starter grinds when press start button. Honda wants $1000 to fix but it is a known problem and should be a recall....

The car was making clicking sound, the check engine light wasn't on. Drove on the highway and the sound start to sound worse. So drove back home, speed was dropping. It shut off while idling at stop sign. Took a while to turn back on. Finally turned back on and was able to get home. Haven't used the car since. Have someone check the car but when he tried to start the car it sound horrible so he turn it off and said not to touch it. He was checking to see if the check engine light was on. And it wasn't.

Sticking piston rings resulting in high engine oil consumption: Vehicle maintained by dealer including oil changes. Vehicle has no oil in reservoir between oil changes. Vehicle burns oil. Piston rings stick and it causes oil to burn excessively. There are multiple campaigns that Honda knows about. They knew about tsb 17-089 and still gave my vehicle a certified pre-owned status without fixing the engine problem first. It is dangerous to drive a vehicle with no oil in it!

At ~92,500 miles, this car has suddenly begun in the past week to shut off while accelerating/driving (in motion) on surface streets and freeways. The multifunction screen and/or sound system and/or dash/engine/acceleration will shut off without warning while I am operating the vehicle in traffic anywhere from 15-65 mph. When it has happened, the system has quickly rebooted and allowed me to resume driving. It feels very unsafe and unpredictable.

Takata recall: When starting the car, the engine light is on stating: "emission system problem & engine cooling system problem." This somehow trigger a safe fail mode that prohibits the car going faster than approximately 40 miles an hour. When the car was brought to the Honda dealership for diagnosis, it showed dtc P2602 stored for electric water pump low voltage. They were able to perform the electric water pump performance and it cleared the code. But within 24 hours, the dtc returns and the engine light is on again and the car wouldn't be able go faster than 40 miles per hour..

The starter motor solenoid fails to engage causing the engine to not start. This started at around 38,000 miles and has gotten progressively worse. The only solution is to replace the entire starter motor.

I have started to experience, now on three separate occasions, grinding of the starter as described in Honda tsb 16-002. Apparently this issue has been well documented by other consumers. I feel this is a manufacturing defect that Honda continues to deny. I wish to add my complaint to the others in hopes of eventually having a recall issued.
