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.

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. PLEASE INVESTIGATE

THE FAILING STARTER IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE HONDA ACCORD COMMUNITY. THE STARTER BEGINS TO FAIL PREMATURELY AND EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL TO START THE CAR LEAVING THE DRIVER AND OR THEIR PASSENGERS STRANDED.

Electrical system, Service brakes, Dec 2, 2020
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD DOES NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. STARTED WHEN MY CAR HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT. I THOUGHT IT TO BE A BATTERY PROBLEM. HAD MY BATTERY TESTED AT ADVANCE AUTO PARTS AND MY BATTERY WAS GOOD. I STILL REPLACE IT. NEXT DAY, SAME PROBLEM. NO START UNTIL THE 8TH ATTEMPT. THE LOUD GRINDING THAT COME WITH THE FAIL ATTEMPT IS FRUSTRATING AND EMBARRASSING. TODAY AFTER 11 FAILED ATTEMPTS TO START MY CAR IT FINALLY STARTED ON THE 12TH TIME. I'M SO OVER HONDA AND THE CRAZY PART IS I OWN A 2007 HONDA ACCORD, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD AND THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE TWO OLDER YEARS GIVES ME 0 PROBLEMS WHILE THE NEWER ONE WITH LESS MILES GIVE ME SOOO MUCH TROUBLE. HONDA STAND UP AND BE THE REPUTABLE DEALER THAT CAUSED ME TO BUY HONDA IN THE FIRST PLACE. OH AND NEXT THE BRKES ARE NOTHING LIKE THE OLDER MODELS. U FEEL A SKIP AND YOU SLIDE. THESE BRAKES ARE BY FAR THE WORST
Electrical system, Dec 1, 2020
THE CAR WONT START INTERMITTENTLY. YOU HEAR A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START. AFTER WAITING FOR FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN IT WILL START AND THE PROBLEM COMES BACK AGAIN.

DAY 1: CAR HAD 2 INSTANCES OF NO START ACCOMPANIED BY STRANGE WHIRRING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRST TIME TOOK 5 TRIES TO SUCCESSFUL START, THE SECOND TIME TOOK 2 TRIES TO SUCCESSFUL START.ALL DASH LIGHTS/RADIO HAD POWER. DAY 2: CAR STARTED UP FIRST TRY NO PROBLEMS, BUT LATER IN THE DAY WHEN TRYING TO USE VEHICLE AGAIN, I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE AS DAY 1, BUT THIS TIME WITHOUT SUCCESSFUL START UPON EXHAUSTED NUMBER OF TRIES. BATTERY VOLTAGE TESTED AND MONITORED WHILE TRYING TO START INDICATED IT WASN'T A BATTERY ISSUE. VEHICLE TOWED TO PURCHASING DEALERSHIP.... TOLD I NEED A NEW STARTER...500$+ BILL. EXPECT IT TO BE OUT OF SHOP TOMORROW. BMS RECALLED AND REPLACED IN 2017 BY PREVIOUS OWNER, MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN STARTER RECALL. BOUGHT WITH 76,000 MILES ON JULY 11TH 2020, STARTER WENT OUT EXACTLY 4 MONTHS LATER NOVEMBER 11TH 2020 WITH 81,000 MILES. 2014 ACCORD LX HUGE BUMMER.. I'M A DIE HARD HONDA FAN AND RECOMMENDER BUT THIS HAS CAUSED LOTS OF INCONVENIENCES. I HOPE HONDA MAKES THIS RIGHT.
Electrical system, Nov 10, 2020
THE VEHICLE TENDS TO NOT START. TURNING THE IGNITION ONLY CAUSES A CLICKING SOUND, HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER (START). I PURCHASED A NEW STARTER BUT THE VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT START, I READ ONLINE THAT CHANCES ARE IT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I FOUND MANY PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING.
Electrical system, Oct 26, 2020
VEHICLE FAILS TO START OR ENGAGE STARTER WITH PRESSING OF START BUTTON. ONLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START WILL THE SYSTEM ENGAGE. THIS EVENT HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY TEN VEHICLE TRIPS. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK OUT FINE.
Electrical system, Sep 26, 2020
ENGINE START WAS INTERMITTENT. CAR HAD ONLY 55,000 MILES. HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED A NEW STARTER. CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.
Electrical system, Sep 7, 2020
THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER 250 ENTRIES. ENGINE WON'T START AT THE PRESS OF THE PUSH BUTTON. I HAVE 75,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS GARAGED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TIME OF DAY, TEMPERATURE OR IF IT'S THE FIRST OR LAST DRIVE OF THE DAY. FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY PUSH THE BUTTON, TRY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, TRY GETTING OUT AND BACK IN. IT IS ENTIRELY RANDOM, SOMETIMES TAKING TEN MINUTES OR MORE TO FINALLY START. ALL INDICATIONS ARE NORMAL ON THE DASH, IT JUST WILL NOT ENGAGE THE STARTER. NO CLICK, NOTHING.
