What 958 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid

After a minor accident, once turned off, the car would not restart for about 20 minutes. All dash lights flicker and there is a clicking sound. Insurance company will not cover assessment or any repair as they say it cannot be linked to the loss, even though I never had issues with this prior to the accident and it was reported in my accident claim. No issues show on a diagnostic test, but I continue to experience issues with the start button connection. I can hold the brake and press the start button but either have to hold it for 20 - 30 seconds while it clicks or goes dim (while you can hear things trying to happen in the engine), or the brake/start button must be applied multiple times to get it to start. I also think that power is beginning to flicker during driving and now I'm really afraid. I have 105,000 miles.

Starting grinding problem started 2 year ago check the battery changed the started and it continued to grind researched it online and found a Service Bulletin 16-002 that was released by Honda on August 11, 2017 which states rotate torque converter 1 bolt and i did that also changed the started again seemed to work for few months and now it started grinding again. It looks like Honda is aware of this issue and their not willing to recall the vehicles. This is ridiculous. HONDA OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES AND RECALL THE VEHICLES.

Starter problem of the 2014 Honda Accord

NHTSA ODI 11425900

Car starter is not working and when i checked online , 2014 Honda accord L4 vehicles has issues with starter kit This is what i found from https://www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/2014-honda-accord-starter-recall-a-full-overview This recall impacts 2014 Honda Accord L4 vehicles made between July 29, 2014 and July 31, 2014. The problem occurs in the engine and the engine cooling system. On these vehicles, the connecting rod bolts were not assembled properly. They were torqued improperly. This can cause the engine to suddenly lose power. It also has caused the engine to leak oil. If this type of improper torquing causes damage to the rod bolts, it can cause the car to suddenly stop. That may increase the risk of an accident occurring. The engine leak risk can also cause a fire because of the location near the hot engine or the exhaust system’s parts. To fix this problem, Honda issued an owner notification. It then had dealers bring in the cars and replace the engine short block. These repairs began in March of 2015. I need my vehicle to be recalled to fix this problem

My 2014 Honda Accord starter is messing up. The car starts intermittent. My car only has around 83000 miles on it. My brother has a 2014 ex-l and my aunt has 2014 lx and they has had their starter replaced. My aunt had just bought her car from the Honda dealership and she had to replace the starter. I know Honda had an issue with the 2013 Honda starter and they claim it is fix. But the same issue is happening with the 2014 Honda. This really don't make any sense. I really feel that Honda should look into this issue with the 2014 Honda as well. This is actually my 6th Honda accord (1992, 1994, 2000, 2004, 2009 and 2014). I buy them because of the dependability. But after reading other Honda owners regarding the same issues. I really feel like Honda need to go back and look into making sure the cars are dependable instead of making them look pretty.

The car does not start consistently. I have replaced the battery two times and the starter. I will turn the key and the engine will not crank over, sometimes it will start up 30 seconds or a minute later after I attempt a couple of times. The Honda mechanic forum is stating that this is a very common problem from owners of this ninth gen Honda Accord.

Unknown. Just off of warranty, vehicle has started to exhibit intermittent failure to crank/ start on an increasing number of occasions. Could leave driver stranded. Turning key 180 degrees, using valet key, and waiting for various periods of time has allowed the vehicle to start ( so far). Research shows Honda replaces starters on 2013 and earlier Accords under a recall, but claims problem has been cured in 2014 and later Accords. An online search for 2014 and later Accords show the problem persists and has not been corrected.

THE VEHICLE IS A PUSH START. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PRESS THE BUTTON AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. IT GIVES A CLICKING NOISE AND THE AIR CONDITIONING AND DISPLAYS COME ON. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TRY 5 TIMES AND EVENTUALLY, IT STARTS. OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO TRY MORE THAN 30 TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE BUTTON. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START, I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TRY AGAIN. NOW THE CAR WILL NOT START NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I PRESS THE BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND PARKED.

NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD IGNITION SWITCH. HONDA REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON IT. HONDA DID A RECALL OF OTHER HONDAS EXCEPT MINES AND A FEW OTHERS WHICH SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW. IF YOU SEARCH ON LINE. THE IGNITION SWITCH IS THE MAIN PROBLEM FOR 2014 HONDA ACCORDS AND MAYBE THE REASON FOR NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS, LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T START IN UNSAFE AREAS OR AT NIGHT WHEN GETTING OFF OF WORK.
