Honda Accord

"After rain or hyumid conditions the camera image is extremely blurry to the point that it can not be relied on"

"The backup camera stopped working. The repair came to $600 which I thought was outrageous! Whoever supplies the camera did not design it properly if it only lasted 4 years."

"Camera stopped working. Was told needed a new camera - Cost to replace ~$500."

"The backup camera quit working two years ago and the dealer wanted $1000 to fix it."

"Does not operate, screen shows outline of area which is useless for backing."

"backup camera failed, $400 to replace at dealer"

"Cameras in both backup and lane watch had to be replaced. Also the turn signal switch to activate lane watch was replaced. This was covered by extended warrantee I purchased from Honda."

"Dealer replaced the rear camera under warranty"

"The screen for the backup camera started blinking out and righting itself although a little fuzzy maybe a year or so before it completely went dark. The camera was replaced in April of this year."

"The camera stopped working abruptly (the screen goes black when put in reverse). I had it looked at, but they were unable to fix it."

"The screen is black when I put the car in reverse"

"camera do not function"

"The right turn camera image will randomly show the backup camera grid overlay. When this is taken to Honda they say they do not have any other reports of such a problem and do not know what is causing it. I am advised to bring it in, but it happens randomly and I cannot take the time to go to the Honda dealership when it happens"

"Backup camera malfunctioned and had to be replaced"

"they don't work"

"Back up camera failed also causing blinds pot camera to not work. Though a little past warranty mileage, Honda assisted to reduce cost of repair to $52"

"the wires in the trunk area broke causing the back up camera to fail and the xm radio"

"completely died 2 weeks after the 24 month warranty expired. I was way under the km warranty and dealer and Honda Canada still would not fix it. After complaining to Honda Canada 3 times and indicated that 100's of other users were having the same issue, they finally replaced it"

"Backup cameras do not show on screen quickly after starting car. If audio system is in use, backup cameras sometimes take up to 30 seconds to display on screen"

"Camera, lane alert system warns temp hot. Outside temp show mid 80s when car is parked for short period of time like store shopping. Adter driving for under ten minutes system will reset to working mode"

"Back-up camera became detached from its mount in the rear of the vehicle and no longer functions"

"Back-up camera stopped working when it got hot outside. Dealer made some excuse. It should work when hot outside"

"Camera provides a very distorted view that does not allow you to park the vehicle straight within the parking space"

"Stopped working"

"Had to replace the system twice"

"Screen would freeze after start of car. Only way to correct was to turn car off and back on. (Reboot)."

"oyv2 times. restarting engine fixed it"

"After starting the car music will be playing. When a new song starts the screen still shows the old song. Even if I change the XM station it still shows the all song an artist even when a new song is playing. The work around is to change the source to HDD and then go back to XM. That corrects the problem."

"The in-dash electronics in this car are slow, unresponsive, and plain stupid. The speed dial for the phone will arbitrarily erase all entries, entering information into the GPS is very slow, switching from one mode to another - GPS, Phone, Info, Audio - is slow. On a whole, these electronics are just poorly done"

"I would have to turn off the car to reset it. The dealer finally disconnected the battery and rebooted. No problems since"

"Same as above"

"The backup camera and all other nav functions stopped working entirely. This was resolved, but with difficulty, by the manufacturer."

"Rear camera intermittently does not work."

"Foot no apparent reason both screens went blank at same time"

"Once, during startup and backing out of garage, both screens went blank. Restart car to resolve issue"

"DISPLAY SCREEN DIVFFICULT TO NAVAGATE. CANNOT EASILY GET DESIRED STATION. PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY DEFECTIVE MANUAL DRIVER SEAT.IT DOES NO HOLD ITS SETTING. DIST MGR SAYS IT IS MY FAULT. USED LEMON LAW!!!"

"The lower screen on the dash goes blank, usually when there i a new electrical load on the car - turn on a turn signal, step on the brake, turn o windshield wiper, etc. Dealer said they could not re-create the problem. It is intermittent"

"Entire electronics are slow and clunky. Sometimes the system just forgets everything."

"The music plays even when I don't want it. It always comes on when I start the car. Very annoying"

"Interface with smartphone would stop working. Only way to fix was to turn off and then restart car. This problem has been fixed by Honda dealer. ( replaced hardware in vehicle.)"

"Music connection via Bluetooth to iPhone would randomly stop. Music would then play to iPhone and minutes later reconnect to the car."

"The phone pairing is terrible in this car. It affects both the music and integration of mobile phone service. The synchronization of my phonebook has a fail rate of approx 15-20%. Problems also occur with the music sync (lag times both skipping songs and/or displaying the proper song on either display unit). To fix the issue, I have to pull over, stop and re-start the vehicle."

"Pairing with Pandora music is often troublesome by not connecting. Sometimes it comes to life if I unplug the phone charger, press play, then plug in the phone charger, and then hit play again. Ridiculous. The issue should have been caught before releasing for sale."

"When an iPhone is streaming via Bluetooth ...and then plugged into the accessory port to charge, the head unit must be powered off and on to restore the Bluetooth streaming. Playback via the usb port never seems to work right when using a phone as the source. Also, the active noise function in the audio system gets overwhelmed when the front defroster is set to high. The airflow across the headliner causes the audio system to emit a very noticeable low frequency rumble. $25 worth of sou"

"Music from iTunes comes on when I don't want it. Sometimes I can't turn it off; this is serious when I'm on a busy interstate, and I can't hear the google maps for direction"

"The software of the car is unable to keep up with the new software of the phone thus play control is spotty at best most of the time none of the controls work"

"The main processor shorted out when the battery was reconnected. The main processor impacted audio and nav systems. This was a warranty replacement at a dealership"

"Rear view camera stopped working completely and had to be replaced."

"Just does not work. I will ask about a local address and it will show me something in another city."

"The dealer fixed a recall related to the battery sensor. This caused the SATNAV to quit working."

"System completely failed after I hit a large pothole. Screen replacement did not solve the problem. Navigation system had to be completely replaced."

"See previous comments"

"Maps for the car were out of date even when I purchased the vehicle. Every map update is $200 and it's been a constant source of frustration - renders the map useless in many areas"

"Intermittently, the built-In clock wakes up showing 08:00. One attempt to repair this was made, and the problem did not recur for several months, but has now occurred again. The repair was to replace the satellite antenna and update the firmware"

"Navigation system is over-engineered, over-complicated, buggy, and user unfriendly compared to over-the-counter aftermarket hand-held GPS units"

"Unable to update map, dealer said needed to go to aftermarket person, aftermarket person said they can not assist, talk to dealer"

"For unkown reason radio will change from xm to fm radio station. Speed dial numbers will disappear but will still be in history. Dealer unable to correct. No system upgrades"

"Doesn't quite gets you to the location entered (tells you to go the wrong way on street or states that the address is located on the wrong side of the street). Once it was 25 miles off. Sometimes it will bounce your current location off and on the"

"Speed dial functions did not work. Honda indicated that this is a known problem with no fix."

"Sometimes the phone would connect, sometimes not, and sometimes it would take up to 5 minutes. All with the same phone"

"Phone hard to hear through cars speakers"

"I have experienced problems with using blue tooth system and speaking on phone. After about 30 to 40 minutes, the blue tooth drops the call without any warning. I have not addressed the problem with a repair shop yet."

"Same as discussed on 2018."

"The phone would lose connectivity at random intervals. Required turning the car off and on to correct."

"The phone pairing is terrible in this car. It affects both the music and integration of mobile phone service. The synchronization of my phonebook has a fail rate of approx 15-20%. Problems also occur with the music sync (lag times both skipping songs and/or displaying the proper song on either display unit). To fix the issue, I have to pull over, stop and re-start the vehicle."

"The phone randomly stops being paired despite the fact that the iPhone bluetooth is on. I must repair using the Honda controls"

"My Blackberry passport used to be paired with the Honda for 2 years without issue however this year it was disengaged. All attempts to pair would not work. Honda link saw my phone but when I was to enter the sync code, the screen would not come up to complete the connection. Worked fine for Apple or android phones"

"Car wouldn't pair with the phone. The dealer said it was the fault of the phone. Weny and purchased a new expensive phone. Car still wouln't pair"

"Audio system takes up to 30secs to pair, locks out controls frequently, loses pairing, and often cannot control iPhone via car after specific conditions occur. Some problems require you to stop and restart car to fix. Dealer was unhelpful"

"About a month ago, my Iphone would not automatically hook up upon starting the ignition. I have read the manual 3 times and followed the directions. I cannot seem to go back and make it register my phone. I will need to take it to the dealers to fix"

"The system will erase all speed dial and history. THe electronics just freeze up"

"Voice Commands are recognized all of the time"

"The system freezes up periodically. I have to stop, turn the car off and restart the system"

"Phone never pairs properly and when you use voice commands even when you create voice tags they do not work and defaults to the systems reading of your contact info"

"My cell phone and my Samsung tablet both pair with my Nissan, three Toyotas owned by friends, and other devices. This Honda Accord will not even recognize they exist. The dealer is no help, they tell me to buy a new phone"

"Phone sometime does not pair. restarting the phone or car fixes the problem"

"lost Bluetooth connection one phone and would not recognize the second phone as it was in the wrong slot"

"Car forgets phone pairing and does not recognize paired phones"

"Dealer replaced H/U AM/FM Tuner assembly. Part number 39100-TA2-A22ZARM"

"does not work. does not reconize my phone"

"Most of time will not pair with iPhone 6+; occasionally will pair but then drops the pairing. I have seen similar complaints but no fix. I haven't yet checked with Honda about a fix"

"The blue tooth stinks, takes a long time to connect to phone, people have difficult time hearing me"

"Radio should have HD capabilities. It doesn't same radio as 1980"

"Sirius XM goes out a lot."

"I can no longer select either the AM or FM source for music or entertainment. A in-store facility said it was a radio problem. They estimated over $1000 to repair. Since I use XM the majority of the time I did not get it repaired."

"For no apparent reason radio changes by itself from Sirius to stereo"

"Not easy to manipulate the choices offered"

"Simply put the radio and speakers, although they were the "premium" JBL - are worse than my base 2001 Accord has. I've put in an amp and am gradually putting in new speakers which is helping"

"Radio did not always turn on. It was eventually replaced by Honda America. At third visit"

"I do not get software updates. There are some if you buy them. Not interested in further costs beyond maintenance."

"If the door is open while running system will state no key periodically. Navigation is off. Radio will come on when car starts periodically even when radio was not turned on. Blue tooth voice commands will state that command was not heard or selects calls not related to request Updates to system did not fix any of the issues if when dealership claims it has"

"The car was not shifting smoothly and I had to pay for the software update. Since then, it has been performing perfectly."

"steering wheel control for initiating hands free phone calls almost never works."

"The voice recognition is terrible in this vehicle - I speak loudly and clearly and with no accent (people tell me this all the time). I previously had a 2008 Nissan Altima that worked well with voice recognition, but I have been so disappointed in Honda's execution of their infotainment system. It is buggy, annoying, and I simply gave up trying to get it to recognize what I am saying. Even the icons for the phone controls on the steering wheel are not intuitive and hard to understand. I just press buttons until something works (and I work in IT, so I can figure things out). I am considering the Honda Ridgeline truck only because it has Apple Carplay which I hope is better than the garbage stock software on Honda's infotainment system. I never thought that the infotainment system in a vehicle would be one of my TOP considerations when buying a new vehicle, but it will be from now on."

"The voice recognition system never worked and is very frustrating. Will not buy another Honda for this reason"

"The voice control will not respond to commands and the phone book won't always load."

"non-responsive"

"Voice recognition is very poor. Often have to repeat command 5-6 times before it is correctly recognized"

"It never recognizes what I'm saying when I want it to dial a call. Never recognizes the name"

"fails to follow commands"

"Too much noise when people are trying to talk to me when I am on the car blue tooth. The dealer replaced the microphone. Didn't work. Also, the system has a hard time figuring out some voice commands"

"Can't hear a command, calling numbers that are not related to the person requested, displaying numbers that are not even close to the requested number"

"The menu sequence and controls for making and accepting calls are incomprehensible"

"Normal english does not work and when it does recognize what you said, it thinks it was something totally different thus being useless"

"It does not recognize names well when I want to call someone. Get's it wrong every time. I don't use this function at all"

"Car failed inspection due to right rear caliper having seized and destroyed the pads and rotor. Caliper, pads, and rotors replaced. Very disappointing for a 5 year old car."

"Both rear brake calipers seized and needed to be replaced."

"I was told by mechanic that the rear brakes had seized shut. I was alerted to the problem initially because I was getting bad mileage, the hand brake had to be lifted higher to engage, and the rear wheels were hot after driving. I had to have both rear calipers replaced."

"left rear frozen"

"my front right caliper seized and cussed a vibration. i had to replace the caliper and the front rotos and pads"

"lights on dash came on"

"I had problems with the parking brakes and the callipers. After a heated discussion there was grudging admittance that both of these items were covered under my extended Honda warranty. The dealer and the Honda Warranty office became more flexible when I asked a) for the return of all replaced parts b) I noted that I was a member of the Automotive Protective Association, which provides the use of a lawyer and an automotive mechanic to intervene when necessary. As well I requested a meeting with the Shop Manager. I was willing to come to this meeting with a copy of my extended warranty and my full service record. The next morning my Serviced Rep, with the head of the dealer's extended warranty department, got Honda to honour its extended warranty contract. I was told that only a small percentage of claimants get their full extended warranty coverage as they back off pursuing their claims after the first rejection."

"1 caliper froze causing wheel to overheat"

"Handbrake seized, requiring replacement of one rear caliber"

"The left rear caliper froze up due to some corrosion."

"Rear brake pads were cracked and worn due to rear calipers being frozen"

"The callipers on the rear brakes were broken, rendering the rear brakes useless. I didn't notice the problem because it wasn't obvious during the city driving that I do. I took the car in because the hand brake had so much play in it that it wasn't holding. That's when I was told that the rear callipers were shot and and needed to be replace and the rotors would have to be planed because the callipers had gouged them."

"rear brake caliper got stuck on one rear wheel causing premature brake pad wear on that side"

"CALIPERS FROZE UP"

"Rear calipers needed replacing as soon as I bought the car and took it to my own mechanic. Covered by warranty"

"I had replaced the right rear caliper in 2018 due to it seizing when driving home. I noticed the left rear disk was getting somewhat discolored, so I had the left rear caliper replaced when they found it was also sticking. This was at about 77k miles."

"Scraping noise from rear brakes. Dealer said both calipers were seized and had to be replaced."

"See parking brake explanation."

"The rear Brake callipers were seized . The suggestion was that water must have gotten in. The car is juts out of warranty. Had all my regular servicing done at the dealer. This was an expensive job and think this should not be something such as"normal wear and tear". Feel there must be a product problem"

"Honda advised me that the calipers were rusted out from being in my garage and low usage of vehicle"

"Stuck rear calipers. Parts ordered. Awaiting call"

"Warranty repair"

"brakes seem to wear down very quickly"

"When I took the car in for my normal oil change it was discovered the my brakes needed to be replaced because of normal wear."

"Normal wear pads replaced at 99,000"

"Actually good brake wear overall. Pads were getting thin at ~75000 miles. I opted to replace rotors and pads at the same time, though I didn’t have any issues with the rotors. 4 years and nearly 80,000 miles on original brakes isn’t bad."

"Brake wear front and rear are not good."

"At 45500 miles, needed new brake pads and machined rotors. All considered normal wear and tear."

"replaced front brake pads and resurfaced brake rotors."

"I replaced the brakes at 762000 miles for the firs time."

"The parking brake was frozen in the on position. I was later told that I had pulled the parking brake up too much damaging the brake and rotor, stretching the parking brake cable in the process. I had an extended warranty, purchased when the car was new. With the help of the Canadian Automobile Association, the dealership and Honda Canada was persuaded that these items were indeed covered by the extended warranty."

"Parking brake stopped working; Part had to be replaced; expensive fix."

"Parking brake wouldn't release completely, causing occasional bad mileage, rear wheels overheating, excessive extension of hand brake to make it engage. Mechanic says calipers need replacing, but I'm not sure what that means."

"Parking brake not releasing as it should. Required cleanup and lubrication. Caused wheel to heat up."

"Rear calipers got seized and caused parking brake to stop working. It was not because of lack of maintenance. The pads were stuck on the disks causing overheating. The calipers had to be replaced."

"parking brake failed to work properly due to frozen caliper"

"Parking brake becomes loose and can't hold the wheels even pulled all the way up. I adjusted it to 5-7 clicks, still not working."

"The cable became increasingly loose and when taken for maintenance, the dealer failed to tighten it. Recently, when I went to have the oil changed, I asked that it be tightened. The service representative told me that because it had not been tightened for so long I needed new calipers, rotors, and disks. I don't see this as a failure of the vehicle so much as a miss by the service department at the dealer; when asked if they don't check the hand brake cable regularly, I was told that it depended on the individual conducting the service check. I was out over $1700 as a result."

"The parking break was not working because the rear callipers were broken and could no longer grip the rotors."

"The rear caliper design incorporates the parking brake feature. There are two design issues, in my opinion. There is no spring return of the actuator lever that connects to the brake cable and the seal that is supposed to keep liquid and debris out of the rotating shaft is not effective therefore leading to binding then fuel economy issues and wear due to drag."

"It slipped several times I had it Tightened, next time I will have to have it replaced for about $4500"

"would not release completely cause in cabin pull lever to flop around. Dealer said I needed new rear calipers. in my opinion this should've been a warranted repair due to poor design."

"The parking brake stuck which caused the rear brakes to premature ware. Four months earlier I had the rear brake pads & rotors replaced, no mention of sticky parking brake. This time parking brake caused right rear caliper to stick, therefore new caliper was required"

"See previous comment. Pads worn out on 1 wheel due to seizing in 2018. Seizing has recurred, but caught before excessive wear. Note: I got the car from my father's estate. He bought it new. So far as I know, he did not have a brake problem before his death in April 2016. He parked the car in a garage. I keep it outside."

"At about 69,000 km. I was told that my brakes needed changing. They tried to recut the rotors, but the rotors were too warped. After 2 or 3 hours, they decided to replace them."

"I have to clean and grease break each 6 months, otherwise, rust will get in and will wear the break pad. That cost me 650$ to learn it."

"The rear brakes wear out a lot faster than any previously own Honda."

"I had to replace front brakes nearly 3 months after I purchased vehicle. stopping at high freeway speed felt dangerous due brakes and wheel rotors wearing poorly. I also had to replace replace starter after I had vehicles for 12 months. Vehicle became increasingly harder to start due to starter failure. I also received a recall notice recently for charging system sensor replacement."

"The brakes are regularly serviced twice a year under the normal B servicing- $360 per service(approximately). I replaced my rear brakes- $550 (approx.) when the warranty work was done on the calipers and parking brake."

"warped rotors twice. Once at about 18,000 miles and the other at about 32,000 miles"

"Mechanic told us this was common problem with honda. Had to replace brakes at 33000."

"The dealer found the problem at an oil change inspection. Cost almost $600.00 to repair."

"The diagnosis was that the wear on the front brakes amounted to brake failure. No warnings appeared on my instrument panel."

"The rotors Honda uses do not typically last as long as they should. If you have to come to a complete stop suddently and the rotors are usually warped and unable to be used."

"I have owned 5 Honda Accords over the past 32 years, premature brake wear has always been a problem. This includes the parking brakes sticking although I use the PB regularly"

"One rotor was replaced and pads"

"Rear brakes on one side were worn down considerably. Other side was wearing just fine. Had to replace brakes and rotors. Mileage was just 27000"

"excessive brake dust and uneven wearing of brakes and rotors"

"At around 1500 miles I have to brake harder and harder"

"Vibration whle brakes are applied - we live on a hill"

"After about 2 years of ownership of my 2014 Honda Accord I noticed pulsation/vibration when ever I applied my brakes. I am easy on my brakes and am not an aggressive driver. Every two years I had break jobs which included brake pad replacement and resurfacing the rotors. I also had the brake oil replaced. However, I still constantly feel the pulsating vibration when ever I apply the brakes. I told the Honda technician at my local Honda dealership about the pulsating/vibration when I apply my brakes and he told me it is normal in Honda Accords and that I should have my rotors resurfaced at least yearly. very costly. I think there is a defect in the Honda Accord rotors including the material they are made out of causing this constant untimely costly repairs. My brakes pulsate/vibrate as of today."

"within the first 15000 miles the brakes started pulsating. The rotors needed to be replaced The mechanic said that to save money Honda makes the rotors thinner, which causes them to warp."

"FAILED DUE TO CALIPER PROBLEM"

"Had rotors re-surfaced by Sears. Lasted 3 months. Now needs new rotors"

"Front rotors began showing signs of warping around 40K miles, pulsating when stopping. I'm am not hard on the car. Light on the gas and brakes. Front and rear pads were about half life per mechanic. Replaced rotors and pads around 48K"

"Rotors should not have worn at just 27000 miles"

"Again just like the clappers I should not have to replace rotors at this stage re. the age of the vehicle. Assume it was because of the problem with the callipers. I realize that brake pads may need to be changed but not a brake system job"

"Warped rotor from almost the beginning got worse and worse. Finally the dealer agreed to resurface them at 20k miles out of warranty but only a few thoUSnd miles later its starting to warp again. I don't ride the brakes either. :)"

"Brakes were sticking on one wheel"

"excessive brake squeaking"

"Noise is coming from the front passenger side inside of the compartment where the seat belt operater.Noise is like inside of the column has a loose plastic and vibrater when the car is moving on uneven road"

"Rear brakes were squeaking...Successfully repaired at dealership"

"Battery failed or 3 yrs old"

"Had to replace the battery which failed because of the starter problems."

"We bought this 2014 Honda from a dealership with supposedly new tires and battery. My wife drove the car to the store with no problems. When she left the store, the car was dead. A shop had to fix the problem which turned out to be the battery."

"battery failed a couple of times in Dec 2016, with 40,000 miles on car. We decided to replace the battery. My husband charged it overnight and I went to the dealer. Even though the battery tested OK at time (but it had just been charged) I replaced the battery. Have experienced no failures since"

"Battery needed to be replaced after 1 year, because of fail;ure to start"

"We took our 2014 Honda Accord into the dealer for routine maint. (oil, tire rotation) and the Service Rep at the Honda Dealer told us the batter was leaking and had eaten through the batter cable. It was 2.5 years old. Due to miles, it wasn't covered under warranty. They replaced the batter and cleaned up the cable - charging for both. 6 days later the starter died, stranding us in a parking lot 30 miles from the dealer. We had to pay for towing to the dealer, the Mfgr paid for the starter"

"On 2 occasions battery wouldn't start. One had to call for jump"

"It had to be replaced.....after much trouble with the Honda people"

"The factory installed battery held up well; but when it failed, it went quickly, and damaged the battery harness causing a much more substantial repair than a simple battery replacement."

"This is the same as my comments on starter. Over the course of several weeks, it became harder and harder to start the car. It would click, but not turn over the engine. Eventually it would start, but I was afraid it would fail. The first time I took it in I figured it might be just the battery because when I had trouble starting it, it started right up whenever I had a jump. It would then start up nicely for several more attempts, especially if after the jump start, I drove a good amout of time. When I took it in they checked the battery, which was indeed near its end of life, and well beyond the warranty time, as well as the starter and ignition. Battery replacement seemed to fix the problem for another several weeks. Then the same thing started happening. I took it in again, and they did more tests and found that it was the starter that the problem and the electronics between ignition and starter was also weak.Starter and ignition wiring replaced, and problem fixed."

"Engine rattles at startup. Bad VTC actuator. Honda Tech Line Summary Article states no fix yet for this issue. DO NOT replace. Anticipating troubleshooting and repair info in near future. ATS 160717. July 2016 Been doing this for years gradually getting worse. Google search indicates that Honda has had this problem with other models also for years. Don't feel safe with a noise at startup... when will it finally break & where. Known problem by Honda for years..why still make? My $$$ did not have issues why should their car...that they refuse to fix. What if I want to sell who will buy it with pre-existing condition and how much loss in price will I have to take ??? At first Honda denied issue but neighbor kept hearing noise and told me what issue was, he had same problem. I returned with more knowledge and Honda admitted issue. Not originally forth coming. Felt they were trying to hide issue. Problem noted before off warranty. Now that off warranty Honda says will extend warranty but who really knows. Easy to say and deflect."

"The starter just stopped working. The entire thing needed to be replaced at my cost."

"Car would not start sometimes. When the push button starter was pushed, nothing would happen. Took vehicle to the dealership several times and was told nothing was wrong. Several scan tests and diagnostics were performed. Continues to happen intermittently to this day"

"The engine was unable to start because of a bad relay"

"Push button start had to push too hard to engage srarter"

"Ignition switch began with some difficulty starting then progressed to every time. Dealer replaced the ignition switch, it has been fine since it was replaced"

"Starter had to be replaced"

"Spark plug failure on this vehicle occurred 4 times. The failure made the car un drive able"

"The stater was replaced because it was malfunctioning...it took 2-6 tries to get the car stated. The replacement is doing the same thing. We are getting rid of this car! Also, the passenger seat is of a lesser quality than the driver’s seat. It offers less comfort and seating positions.."

"Starter worked intermittently, so I had it checked by the dealer and he replaced it."

"Starting required pressing the start button multiple times."

"car would not start"

"Over the course of several weeks, it became harder and harder to start the car. It would click, but not turn over the engine. Eventually it would start, but I was afraid it would fail. The first time I took it in I figured it might be just the battery because when I had trouble starting it, it started right up whenever I had a jump. It would then start up nicely for several more attempts, especially if after the jump start, I drove a good amout of time. When I took it in they checked the battery, which was indeed near its end of life, and well beyond the warranty time, as well as the starter and ignition. Battery replacement seemed to fix the problem for another several weeks. Then the same thing started happening. I took it in again, and they did more tests and found that it was the starter that the problem and the electronics between ignition and starter was also weak.Starter and ignition wiring replaced, and problem fixed."

"Car would only click when pushing the start button once in 20 starts. Then once in 10, then once every 4 or 5, then car was not able to be started at all. Mechanic diagnosed as starter, replaced it for nearly $600, then car has been fine since. This is shameful for any car with so few miles on it, especially a Honda."

"The starter failed at 59000 and was NOT covered. It cost me $1000 to replace"

"The car randomly doesn't start when you push the button. It will click, the lights will flash, and the interior accessories will turn on but the engine won't turn over. It can sometimes take 4-5 tries before the car will start. The battery has been tested and confirmed to be OK. This problem is getting more and more frequent over the course of 2 months and I think it will eventually prevent the car from starting completely."

"Starting difficulty began about 70,000 miles. Starter was replaced at 79,881 miles."

"This problem developed over 2-3 months. Had to get replacement starter while 1000 miles from home. Other similar owners reported same problem but Honda refused to do a recall."

"The starter moter died after only 24,000 miles. The Honda dealers were charging about $950 - and this would not cover the towing charge. This should have been a recall item. I noticed from the blogs that many other owners were having problems with the starter motor and angry about the attitude of the Honda company. I bought a Honda with confidence in their reliability. However, I will now be considering another make car when a buy a new one af few years from now."

"The starter failed just out side the 3 year warranty period. It would just click and do nothing. I would have to turn the key several time to get it to start. From searching online, it appeared other owners also had the issue similar to mine. I asked Honda if they would replace it or at least provide me a new starter that I would have replaced, but since it was out side the warranty period, they did not do anything."

"Total failure of the starter. Cost over $800 to replace the starter / solenoid assembly when it was only the solenoid that failed. Costly design decision."

"Began as intermittent failing to respond to start push button then progressed to only engaging starter after 15-20 attempts. Did not totally fail, but came very close. Starter replaced and problem solved. In researching this, the problem is not uncommon in this vintage of Accord, but, unlike 2012-2013 models, it did not result in a recall. My total out of pocket cost $ ~500 at Honda dealer."

"This generation of Acura/Honda push button starter has a flaw. I've replaced them on 3 different 2014 Honda/Acuras - at $750 each."

"Starter failed and had to be replaced."

"The starter was going bad, had to be replaced"

"Original starter replaced. Replacement starter was faulty & had to be replaced. Replaced replacement starter. Car would not start 3 days ago. Have not talked with mechanic yet but judging by what happened I'm sure it is another starter gone bad. These problems started at about 60000 mi."

"Starter did not catch flywheel. Problem was intermittent. just had to push starter button again. Had to replace starter."

"Initial problem with push button start - would not start on first push. Started at about 20k mileage. Problem has worsened - may start on first push, but sometimes takes many pushes in combination with brake release and depressing or just pushing without touching the brake - then braking and pushing. Very intermittent in terms of how many pushes - sometimes just a couple, sometime 10 or more!"

"Starter would not engage when start button was pressed, often taking several presses to start the car. Even though the car was out of warranty, Honda picked up 70% of the cost of a new starter and installation. Now all is good."

"Our SECOND starter stopped working a week or two after the time that our original equipment battery died. The first starter had been replaced about a year earlier. Our Honda dealer was very apologetic and gave us a free loaner plus did routine service gratis as well. We have an extended warranty on the car, so the starter itself would be free."

"Starter failed with intermittant no-crank."

"A known defect with the starter that wasn't recalled by Honda (found out at the dealer who told me to file a dispute with Honda)and when it started on our vehicle we were four months past the factory warranty and I had to file a dispute with Honda and they eventually replaced the starter and I had to pay a hundred dollars out of my pocket for this repair. Left a bad taste in my mouth because if it had started four months earlier they would have covered the repair at no cost and they new the starter was defective but did nothing about it. This will make me go in favor of another automobile manufacture in the future if everything else comes out comparable."

"Solenoid failed and car would not start. Had to replace entire starter since solenoid is not sold as a separate item."

"The starter replacement was covered under my Honda Care insurance policy. Otherwise I would have paid $620 to replace it. I enjoy having an electronic starter; but I anticipated that it would last longer than 4 years."

"started taking a number of tries before car started. Replaced by Honda for reasonable cost. Replaced by Honda for reasonable cost"

"Occasionally would take several try’s to start."

"Had to replace the starter motor. It was replaced under my extended warranty"

"The starter stopped working causing the car to not start. It was intermittent at first, then it completely stopped working."

"Occasionally does not turn engine over, but subsequent attempts will work."

"became intermittent. some times it took 10 min or more to start car. silent recal? repair cost >800.00. honda covered all but 100.00 for a car 1 yr out of warrenty"

"Sometimes the car would not start."

"3 times starter failed to start. 2 times, had to be towed. 1 time a mechanic was able to apply a trick to get it started. Starter was on recall notice and was replaced with little additional cost to me, other than towing costs. Apparently, this was a COMMON problem which warranted a recall."

"Car would not start. You turn the key to the start position and nothing would happen. A few times it would start, but most of the time it would not."

"Honda push button starters on 2011-2016 are horrible. I have four Hondas in this age series and replaced all four starters at 50,000 miles - $800 per repair."

"Starter completely failed, had to be replaced"

"Started having trouble about 1 year after purchases. Problem of starting lasted about 3 month before we decided to replace starter. It would do nothing when turning the ignition key. But if you turned key several times it would start. After checking all connection and terminals we decided to replace starter. No problems since."

"The car failed to start using the push button starter on several occasions. I thought it was the battery at one point but sent. I took it to the dealership and they told me it was my starter. I had it replaced."

"The car will not start the first attempt every time. There were occasions that we thought the car would never start. We have not had the starter or pertinent problem repaired"

"Only once and had to have it towed for the repair."

"See previous comments. Starter noise caused starter replacement at 32,000 miles. Noise persisted and resulted in VTC replacement at 65,000 miles. Cause still undetermined, but attributed to VTC."

"STARTER WOULD TAKE 3 TO 10 TIMES TO ENGAGE AND FINALLY STOPPED WORKING,HAD TO BE REPLACED"

"Service bulletin 16-002. Starter Grinds or Spins at Startup. 3 failed repair attempts."

"Sometimes especially in cold weather the starter will not engage and just whines"

"bad starter needed replacement"

"starter went completely out and would not start car at 35,800 miles. Since car was still under warranty (36,000 miles) dealer arranged to have car towed & replaced starter at no charge"

"Starting the Accord became very unreliable. Most times it started w/o a problem. Sometimes though it took a dozen tries over a 10 minute period. Honda Service Dept. is replacing the starter today for $800"

"We took our 2014 Honda Accord into the dealer for routine maint. (oil, tire rotation) and the Service Rep at the Honda Dealer told us the batter was leaking and had eaten through the batter cable. It was 2.5 years old. Due to miles, it wasn't covered under warranty. They replaced the batter and cleaned up the cable - charging for both. 6 days later the starter died, stranding us in a parking lot 30 miles from the dealer. We had to pay for towing to the dealer, the Mfgr paid for the starter"

"Starter was not always cranking when the key was turned. Dealer replaced starter under used car warranty"

"Car did not start. Starter Motor replaced. Car still under warranty/extended warranty. Car towed by Honda to shop. Service performed at no charge, and completed same day"

"Had growing issue this year with starting that turned out to be old battery (4 yo battery, so was due for replacement) and, more significantly, a starter motor failure at 70,285 miles. This was not covered by the warranty so parts ($520.09) and labor ($202.50) for a total of $723. I have never had a starter motor failure in any car that I have owned even up to over 200K miles. If my starter failed, I wonder how many other Honda starters fail this early"
