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.

ENGINE FAILS TO CRANK AT FIRST TRY. CAR HAS ONLY 30000 MILES. STARTER MAKES STRANGE SOUND AND NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN CARS IS PARKED FOR SOME TIME. HAD THE BATTERY TERMINAL RECALL DONE BEFORE THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN. REPEATED TRIES WITH THE START BUTTON WILL EVENTUALLY WORK, SO FAR.

I HAVE HAD 1 OEM HONDA STARTER REPLACED AND 2 AFTERMARKET ONES. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY STARTS. SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES LEAVES ME STRANDED. I TOOK THE CAR IN A FEW TIMES TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AND SINCE I COULDN'T REPLICATE IT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND WAS CHARGED THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE $180. THIS CAR IS SO UNRELIABLE THAT I CAN'T EVEN HAVE MY KIDS DRIVE IT FEARING THEM BEING STRANDED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AT LEAST 6 TIMES. TO HAVE THE CAR START FINE THE NEXT DAY OR EVEN HOURS LATER. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH OTHERS OWNING THE SAME GENERATION HONDA ACCORD ON ALL THE FORUMS ONLINE. IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS AROUND 40K AND NOW MY CAR IS 160K, SINCE NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT.
Electrical system, Jan 31, 2020
VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT START. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR ONE WAS RECALLED AND SOFTWARE WAS FIXED CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND BATTERY AND THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM SUBMITTING WAS NOT RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE SAME DAY AND ARE THE SAME EXACT MODEL.
Electrical system, Jan 29, 2020
VEHICLE WILL NOT START SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PUSH THE START BUTTON. I HAD THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTED TESTED AND ALL ARE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.. ALL THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYS ARE FINE AS WELL. THE PROCESS I USE TO START THE CAR IS PUSH THE BREAK THEN PRESS THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHEN IT DOES NOT START IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT THERE AGAIN WHEN THE BATTERY IS TESTED IT IS FULLER CHARGED. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS A NEW MOTHER. I AM SCARED MY SON AND I WILL BE LEFT SOMEWHERE WITH MY CAR UNABLE TO START. I HAVE ATTACHED AN IMAGE OF WHICH DASHBOARD ALERTS APPEARS WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS.
Electrical system, Jan 28, 2020
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE PUSH-BUTTON START FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THINGS WORKED A LITTLE BETTER FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT IT IS BACK TO NOT STARTING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I HOLD DOWN THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON.
Electrical system, Jan 20, 2020
WHEN TRYING TO START, MAKES A CLICKING NOISE AND WON'T START. HAVE TO TURN IT OFF, WAIT, THEN TRY AGAIN. SOMETIMES I EVEN GET OUT THE CAR AND LOCK IT TO RESET EVERYTHING. SOMETIMES IT STARTS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO JUMP START IT.

BOUGHT A 2014 ACCORD COUPE NEW. IT IS NOW 12/16/19 AND THIS IS THE FIFTH BATTERY IN THE CAR. 4 REPLACED BY HONDA AND 1 REPLACED BY MECHANIC. IF CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 2 - 3 DAYS IT WILL NOT START. HONDA SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE. LIKE THE RIDE ON THE CAR BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RELIABILITY.
Electrical system, Dec 9, 2019
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING, PRESSING THE PUSH BUTTON START WOULD ONLY RESULT IN A CLICK. AFTER BEING STRANDED BY THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. I REMOVED THE STARTER FOR TESTING. WHEN THE STARTER WAS BENCH TESTED IT WORKED FINE. I PUT IT BACK ON THE CAR, IT STARTED ONCE AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I REPLACED THE STARTER MYSELF. IT WAS $310 FOR THE PART. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES STARTING THE CAR IN THE WEEK FOLLOWING THE REPLACEMENT. AFTER READING THE NHTSA POSTS AND ONLINE THIS IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH THE ACCORD THAT IS UNDERREPORTED.

MY ACCORD HAD STARTING ISSUES FOR SOMETIME, FEW WEEKS AGO IT COMPLETELY DEAD. CALLED AAA BATTERY SERVICE, THEY CHECKED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. AGAIN I FACED SAME ISSUE, WITH IN A WEEK MY VEHICLE COMPLETED DEAD, WHICH DIDN'T START. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO NEAR BY HONDA DEALER, THEY INSPECTED AND TOLD THAT ISSUE WAS BAD STARTER. AND THEY CHARGED FANCY PRICE FOR THAT, $431 FOR SPARE AND $375 FOR LABOR JUST REPLACING THE STARTER. SO MANY CUSTOMERS FACING THE ISSUE, WITHIN 45,000 MILES, HONDA DOESN'T CARE. WHEN I RAISED THIS ISSUE TO HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT STARTER IS WEAR PART AND I NEED TO REPLACE EVERY 40,000 MILES. ATTACHED HONDA SEVICE INVOICE FOR REFERENCE.

2014 HONDA ACCORD LX WITH 28000 MILES. STARTED HAVING STARTING ISSUES APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 8 TRIES TO START AT TIMES THEN OTHER TIMES ,NO ISSUE AT ALL. NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, ONLY WHEN PARKED. CHANGED THE BATTERY WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE SINCE THIS IS AN IDENTIFIED ISSUE BY THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET. THE CARE REP "ANNA" INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BASICALLY NOTHING COULD BE DONE, AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. SHE INFORMED ME THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A STARTER ISSUE. I TOLD HER IT WASN'T. IT IS FAULTY DESIGN PART ISSUE BY HONDA. I ASKED HER WHY THE 2013 CARS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2014. HER RESPONSE WAS THAT THE 2014 CARS ARE NOT RECALLED.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD STARTS BY A KEY FOB AND PUSH BUTTON STARTER. RECENTLY, THE CAR WOULD TAKE 5-6 ATTEMPTS TO START.. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. IT JUST WILL NOT CRANK OVER. I HAVE ABOUT 65,000 MILES BUT AS I RESEARCH "STARTER PROBLEMS OF THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD", I GET OVER 70 OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM ONE WEBSITE. SOME OF THE OTHER SAME COMPLAINTS WITH MILEAGE FROM 15,000 TO MORE THAN 70,000. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, 1-800-999-1009, AND MY CASE NUMBER IS: [XXX]. I SPOKE TO [XXX] ON 10/31/19. SHE SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS "ISSUE" BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING I ASKED HOW MANY COMPLAINTS MUST THEY HAVE BEFORE THEY DO AN OFFICIAL RECALL. SHE CANNOT ANSWER. I ASKED IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ME IN LIGHT OF SO MANY COMPLAINTS? SHE SAYS NO, IT IS OVER THE WARRANTY. I COULD NOT OBTAIN ANY INFORMATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE FIX FROM AMERICAN HONDA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Electrical system, Oct 27, 2019
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING AROUND OCT.1ST 2019. I HAVE 91,000 MILES AND HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AT 28,000 MILES IN JANUARY 2016. THE ISSUE IS MOST TIMES IT WILL TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 5 - 16 TURNS OF THE KEY BEFORE THE CAR STARTS, ITS TAKEN UP TO 40+ TIMES A FEW TIMES! I SEE THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS AT A GAS STATION AND WAS PHYSICALLY THREATENED BY A GUY WITH A KNIFE BECAUSE I FINISHED PUMPING MY GAS AND COULD NOT START MY CAR! I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR ON THE STREET SO THE CRAZED GUY COULD MOVE HIS CAR FROM BEHIND MINE. THIS ISSUE HAS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IT CAUSES MANY SAFETY ISSUES.
Electrical system, Oct 16, 2019
I HAVE HAD THE MESSAGE "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM" ON MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT FROM MOSES HONDA. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON IT AND TOOK IT IN AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID THE RECALL WOULD FIX IT. WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE LOT AT MOSES HONDA AFTER HAVING THE RECALL SUPPOSEDLY FIXED MY CAR STILL SAID "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM". TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER IN GEORGIA AND SAID NEEDS A NEW STARTER. STILL SAYS "CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM". HONDA WILL NOT FIX IT'S CARS.
Electrical system, Engine, Oct 14, 2019
THIS PROBLEM WITH 2014 H ACCORD EXISTS SINCE NOV. 2018 (MILEAGE THEN APPROX.. 49,000 MI). THE STARTER CLICKS (BATTERY IS FULL) AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE TYPICALLY STARTED. IN JUNE 2019 I CHECKED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP WHETHER THE BATTERY SWITCH RECALL IS THE OFFENDER. IT WAS NOT. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE ' DESPITE MY DETAILED DESCRIPTION HOW THE NON-START EVENT HAPPENS. IN 2019 THIS ISSUE STARTED SHOWING UP WITH HIGHER FREQUENCY ' JUST YESTERDAY I GOT STRANDED ON THE ROAD IN PARKING LOT. HAD TO LEAVE CAR THERE OVERNIGHT (ATTEMPTED TO START MAYBE 20 TIMES WITH DIFFERENT P-N CONFIGURATIONS ' BATTERY ABOUT 13.6 V) ' NO SUCCESS ' THE CAR AND STARTER WERE DEAD (1 CLICK ONLY). CAME BACK NEXT MORNING WITH TOWING SERVICE. THE CAR STARTED. THIS ISSUE WITH MALFUNCTIONING STARTER IS ON- AND -OFF. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STARTER WITH THIS H. ACCORD LX 2014 MODEL. THE H. DEALER PRETENDED THAT THEY ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE (PLENTY OF COMPLAINS ON THE INTERNET WHICH I SHOWED THEM). I AM WAITING FOR OEM STARTER PART TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 61,000 MILES NOW. IT IS WAY PREMATURE FOR THE STARTER TO DEVELOP THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS ' WHICH FOR ME LAST EXACTLY FOR ONE YEAR (NOV. 2018) AND CREATES A REAL ROAD HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IN WINTER TIME. RECALL FROM HONDA IS NECESSARY. IT IS SYSTEMIC ISSUE HERE.
Electrical system, Oct 14, 2019
2014 HONDA ACCORD -MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UPON STARTUP. AN HOUR LATER, THE SYMPTOMS ARE GONE. HONDA HAS ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 16-011 STATING THAT THE CAUSE IS CORROSION BETWEEN THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AND THE CKP SENSOR CONNECTOR. HONDA'S CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS AND THE CKP SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL.

HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING AND CAR WILL NOT START GUESSING IT'S THE STARTER. I THINK THE WIRES KEEP BLOWING THE LIGHTS OUT.
Electrical system, Sep 30, 2019
ENGINE TAKES LONG TO START. STARTER DOESN'T TURN OVER. STARTER TAKES UP TO MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BEFORE ENGINE TURNS ON. ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF THE PROCESS START OVER AGAIN. IT TAKES ME ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 20 MINS TO START THE CAR.
Electrical system, Sep 16, 2019
PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL GO THROUGH START SEQUENCE BUT DOES NOT TURN OVER ENGINE. HAVE TO WAIT A PERIOD OF TIME TO START OR TRY MULTIPILE TIMES UNTIL TURNS OVER. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS SEVERAL TIMES. ON REVIEW OF INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR.
Electrical system, Sep 16, 2019
GRINDING & SPINNING NOISE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY START AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. THIS SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM AFRAID ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS COULD CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS GRINDING AND THE CAR COULD FAIL TO START WHEN INVOLUNTARILY STOPPED ON A BUSY FREEWAY OR IN AN UNSAFE PARKING LOT, PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY OTHER TIME I START THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE SECOND OR THIRD ATTEMPT. I RECALL THAT THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED HAPPENING PROBABLY ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2014 BUT I KEPT THINKING THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO ME NOT PUSHING THE BUTTON PROPERLY AS THIS WAS THE FIRST CAR I OWNED WITH A PUSH BUTTON. THIS IS AN ISSUE HONDA APPARENTLY KNEW ABOUT AND ISSUED A TSB (#16-002) IN 2016 WHEN MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HONDA AND THEIR DEALERS DID NOT DISCLOSE IT TO ME DURING THE MANY ITEMS I TOOK MY CAR TO THEM AND ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.
