Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission that were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts' protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.
A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing both the left and right drive shafts, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2021. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

I ONLY HAVE 29,600+ MILES ON MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH TROUBLE STARTING CAR ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 2 TO 3 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE STARTS. I BROUGHT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I AM LOOKING AT A $700+ BILL TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE STARTER. I SEE THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, May 30, 2018
PROBLEM: SEEMS TO BE WITH IGNITION. WHILE CAR IS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE FAILS AT THE INITIAL TURN OF THE KEY FOR IGNITION. FAILURE OF IGNITION MAY HAPPEN 2-3 TIMES BEFORE CAR WILL RUN. NOT ONLY HAS THIS NOW HAPPENED MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TIMES, BUT WE ARE ALSO SEEING LARGER NUMBER OF TRIES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START. (EXAMPLE: FIRST SEVERAL OCCURRENCES THE CAR WOULD START AFTER 1-2 TRIES. NOW IT IS MORE COMMON TO TAKE 2-3 TRIES BEFORE IGNITION.) THIS COULD CAUSE ANY OF US TO BE STRANDED UNEXPECTANTLY...ESPECIALLY CONCERNED IF THIS HAPPENS ON A TRIP AWAY FROM HOME, &/OR TO WIFE OR DAUGHTER ALONE. WE HEARD OTHER YEARS OF SAME HONDA ACCORD IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SO WE WERE SURPRISED NOT TO SEE OUR MAKE AND MODEL LISTED FOR RECALL.
Electrical system, May 26, 2018
AT AROUND 35,000 MILES, THE STARTER IS NO LONGER WORKING AND SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT WITH SO FEW MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, May 4, 2018

TAKATA RECALL.... CAR WON'T START. CONNECTION TO BATTERY LOOSE. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT MID-IGNITION .... LOUD SOUND AND NOW NOTHING
Electrical system, Apr 12, 2018
VEHICLE WILL NOT START UPON INITIALLY PUSHING THE IGNITION . CHANGED BATTERIES IN THE REMOTES YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. VEHICLE ONLY STARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. INSTEAD OF PUSHING TO START HAVE BEEN PUSHING AND HOLDING TO START. PROBLEM BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. STARTED 03/11/18 AND CONTINUED ON.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Engine, Apr 9, 2018
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START WHEN YOU PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND ONLY CLICKS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THE CAR STALLS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR RAIL ROAD CROSSING AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STARTED. TO START THE VEHICLE (KEYLESS W/FOB), YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE START BUTTON. IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE STARTING OF THE CAR MAY BE PART OF THE ISSUE AS WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL MORE LIKELY START WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT VS. HARD. NOT SURE IF THE ISSUE IS ISOLATED TO THE START BUTTON, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, BOTH OR THE ELECTRONICS THAT INTERACTS WHEN THESE TWO. ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY PROVIDE WITH THIS ISSUE IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU
Electrical system, Apr 9, 2018
ON SOME OCCASIONS THE KEYLESS START BUTTON DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE STARTER. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO WORK OR WON'T AT ALL. SOMETIMES I LEAVE FOR A TIME AND WHEN I TRY AGAIN IT WORKS NORMALLY. I'VE HAD MANY CARS AND THIS ISSUE IS DEFFINETLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HONDA DEALER REPLACED STARTER UNDER WARRANTY AND INDICATED THAT THEY KNEW IT WAS AN ISSUE. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NEEDED TO PICK UP MY WIFE AT THE HOSPITAL AND COULD NOT GET CAR STARTED. I DO HAVE ANOTHER CAR SO IT ALL WORKED OUT BUT IF I DIDN'T IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD EVENT. I KNOW THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ESPECIALLY YOUTUBE. HONDA DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT PUBLICLY. OTHERWISE IT'S A GREAT CAR
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Mar 21, 2018
THE IGNITION SWITCH TOOK FOREVER TO START ENGINE. I HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER CHANGED AND PAID VANDERGRIFF HONDA DEALER $600+. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY SENSOR THAT AFFECTS ALSO THE ALTERNATOR.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Mar 21, 2018
OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD (PURCHASED "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED") HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. FIRST OF ALL THE CAR HAS 53,000 MILES. HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY; SINCE REPLACING THE BATTERY, A MYRIAD OF LIGHTS COME AND GO ON THE DASH FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH. NOW THE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON - BRAKE, ABS, FCW, LDW, STEERING ASSIST. DEALER SAYS "PROBABLY" THE ABS MODULE ($1400). LAUNCHED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA AMERICA - THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED. MY QUESTION(S) WERE (A) BY SPENDING $1400, IS THIS GOING TO FIX IT OR WILL IT "PROBABLY" FIX IT. (B) HOW LONG BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN?- KEEP IN MIND THE FIRST ONE LASTED 53,000 MILES (C) HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS? NO ANSWERS TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED; THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CLEAR WAS THAT IT WASN'T A WIDESPREAD ISSUE BECAUSE THE NHSTA OR HONDA HADN'T ISSUED ANY KIND OF TSB OR RECALL. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEWHAT TELLING WHEN I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, SPOKE WITH THE DESK PERSON IN SERVICE. WHILE OVER THE PHONE, EXPLAINED THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON - THE ANSWER OF "IT'S THE ABS MODULE" WAS INSTANT. FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T "COMMON" OR WIDESPREAD, THIS WAS A VERY QUICK REPLY. ALSO A GOOGLE SEARCH TURNS UP OTHER ISSUES JUST LIKE THE ONE WE ARE HAVING. JUST WONDER HOW SAFE THIS IS?

REF PRIOR COMPLAINTS 11048722, 11035177, 11003743... ON 1/9/18, A NEW REMANUFACTURED STARTER PURCHASED FROM HONDA, WAS INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE. MILEAGE WAS 64740. TODAY, 2/22/18, THE GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED ON ONE START ATTEMPT - THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THE NEW STARTER - MILEGAE IS 65880. SO, IN JUST OVER 1100 MILES, 1 1/2 MO, AND AN AVERAGE OF MAYBE 40 TO 50 STARTS/WEEK, THE PROBLEM IS RESURFACING. I HAD THIS VEHICLE AT HONDA TO COMPLETE A PRIOR RECALL - ON 12/13/17 AND IT DID NOT START THERE. SERVICE MANAGER MADE EXCUSE ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT STARTER NOT BEING FROM HONDA... WELL - THIS ONE IS... SOMETHING IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. WHILE IT MANIFESTS AS A MECHANICAL GRINDING, CLICKING NOISE, IT IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM AS HAS BEEN NOTED BEFORE, AND IT IS VERY RANDOM... HOW AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO RE-SELL A VEHICLE WITH SUCH A PROBLEM - A HONDA DESIGN FLAW HAS CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE CAR'S VALUE, NOT TO MENTION EXPENSES AND TIME LOST. SEE OLD/NEW STARTER PIX... PLEASE KEEP THE INVESTIGATION MOVING FORWARD - I HAVE SUFFERED A LOSS, AS HAVE MANY OTHERS!!
Electrical system, Feb 18, 2018
STARTING IN DEC. 2017 THE ENGINE STARTER WOULD NOT START THE CAR AT TIMES. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE STARTER PUT IN. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH 2013-2014 HONDA ACCORD ENGINE STARTER FAILING JUST OUT OF THE HONDA MILEAGE/YEAR WARRANTY, YET HONDA DOES NOT CHOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A RECALL FOR THIS PART.

THIS DISPUTE RELATED TO 2014 HONDA ACCORD SAFETY RECALL 17V-418. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, MOISTURE IS ENTERING INTO THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY SYSTEM WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF ABOVE RECALL. A MONTH BEFORE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE, MY CALL STALLED AT A GAS STATION ON OCTOBER 12, 2017 AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER DISCOVERED THAT SEVERE CORROSION DAMAGED THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE AND THE CABLE BROKE OFF. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND BATTERY WAS $735.52. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL 17V-418, THE ISSUE WE EXPERIENCED IS RELATED. DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW, THE MOISTURE IS DAMAGING VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE BATTERY SYSTEM. I FILED A CLAIM (CASE # 06489520) WITH HONDA FOR REIMBURSEMENT BUT MY REQUEST HAS BEEN DENIED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE PURCHASE. THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS THAT MOISTURE ENTERING THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND THE HONDA SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REIMBURSE THE COST OF REPAIR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR IS $735.52 + $65 (TOWING) = $800.52.

MY CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP JUMPING IT EVERY TIME I STARTED IT. I TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY MADE ME PAY $130 FOR NEW BATTERY. I FEEL IT WAS RELATED TO BATTERY RECALL AND I SHOULDNT HAVE HAD TO PAY. BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS A BAD CELL IN IT AND IT WASNT RELATED TO THE RECALL
Electrical system, Dec 21, 2017
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN APARKING LOT AS I HAD TO DO A QUICK ERRAND AT COSTCO. CAR WAS TURNED OFF WITH FAN RUNNING. MY WIFE STAYED BACK IN THE CAR. AFTER I CAME BACK AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINS, THE TRUNK WONT OPEN AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS IN CAR WERE OFF. CAR WONT START AT ALL. I TRIED STARTING FOR FEW MINS WITHOUT FAIL. LUCKILY I COULD JUMP START THE CAR USING THE JUMP START KIT IN COSTCO TIRE CENTRE. I TOOK IN THE CAR TO DEALER AS THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE AND BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIME AROUND EVERYTHING WAS OK. DEALER ADVISED ME TO NOT RUN THE ACCESORIES WITHOUT CAR ENGINE RUNNING. DEALER MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP CAR WEIGHT LOW, MANUFACTURERS ARE SWITCHING TO SMALLER AND SMALLER BATTERIES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE OCCUPANTS ARE AT PHYSICAL RISK IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE A DESOLATE PLACE OR CAR COULD BE UNAVAILABLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. MITIGATIONS EXPECTED ARE (1) CAR COMPUTERS SHOULD DETECT BATTERY DRAIN AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF TO ALLOW FOR CAR TO START, (2) HAVE A SECONDARY BATTERY BACKUP JUST FOR THESE SITUATIONS, (3) THERE IS SHOULD BE OPTION TO SWITCH TO A BIGGER BATTERY.
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Dec 16, 2017

THIS IS 3RD COMPLAINT! SEE PRIOR COMPLAINTS - 11003743 AND 11035177. AS NOTED BEFORE, MILEAGE (WHEN PROBLEM STARTED) IN 2ND COMPLAINT MORE ACCURATE. ORIGINAL STARTER REPLACED AT JUST UNDER 60K MILES. MILEAGE NOW AT 63730. CAR FAILED TO START NO MATTER WHAT!!! ON 11/22/17, TRIED JUMP STARTING, P OR N, PUT CAR IN R AND ROLLED BACK A FOOT, THEN P OR N - NOTHING. PUSHED BUTTON - NO NOISE... NO CLICKING, GRINDING... TRIED FOR OVER 30 MINUTES... BATTERY GOOD, REMOTE GOOD, CONNECTIONS GOOD, DASH LIGHTS ALL APPEAR NORMAL. TOWED TO MECHANIC - REPLACED STARTER AGAIN. HE STARTED IT 20+ TIMES - SEEMED OK, MOVED IT TO HIS PARKING AREA. ON 11/25 I PICKED IT UP - WENT TO START IT - GOT GRINDING NOISE - HEARD BY MECHANIC. STARTED 3RD TIME. HAS DONE THIS - EITHER GRINDING OR SPINNING NOISE 3 TIMES ALREADY TODAY(11/25) - EVEN AFTER I GOT HOME, WHILE TRYING 'DEAD REMOTE' KEY STARTING PROCEDURE... WOULD MAKE NOISES, THEN START 2ND OR 3RD TIME. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS! PLEASE PUSH THE INVESTIGATION! HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND COME UP WITH A FIX. I THINK IF ONE EXAMINES THE CHANGES THEY HAVE MADE TO THIS VEHICLE AFTER 2015, ONE CAN SEE THAT THEY KNEW OF A PROBLEM AND TOOK STEPS TO FIX IT. JUST HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF US WHO ARE 'STUCK'. RESALE VALUE WILL PLUMMET ON THESE CARS! CALL ME!! TAKE THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE - ANYTHING!! NOTE - REPLACEMENT STARTER IS A BENDIX AFTERMARKET WITH LIFETIME WARRANTY - THIS IS NOT A STARTER PROBLEM - IT IS A DESIGN FLAW CAUSING STARTER PROBLEMS AND/OR CAUSING NO/LOW/IMPROPER VOLTAGE OR CURRENT TO BE APPLIED TO THE STARTER.
