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 TAKING LONGER TO GO INTO ENGINE MODE. IT'S LAGGING
Engine, Jan 16, 2021
ON MY 2014 ACCORD SPORT (2.4 L, I4 ENGINE), THERE APPEARS TO BE 'EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION' SINCE ABOUT 50K MILES. I HAVE TO ADD ABOUT 3/4 QUART TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000-2500 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND PERFORM ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON TIME AT THE HONDA DEALER. I TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER MISSED A SERVICE. IT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE HITTING 50K MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 77K MILES AND I JUST HAD TO ADD 3/4 QUART OF OIL AGAIN AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES. I'VE EVEN REPLACED THE PCV VALVE WITH NO LUCK. MY QUESTION IS, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE RECALL RELATED TO 2008-2012 ACCORDS? I THINK MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. BY THE WAY, I'VE SEEN HONDA'S STANCE THAT UP TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE, I ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE.. IT'S ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL. I WORRY HOW THIS CAR WILL DO AS IT GETS OLDER. AT THIS RATE, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN IT GOES BAD DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION?
Engine, Nov 26, 2020
I'VE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT BURNS OIL CONSTANTLY. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW UNTIL TWO YEAR 2020 UNTIL DO MY OWN OIL CHANGE AND REALIZE I BURN A QUART OF OIL WITHIN A MONTH. SO THE DEALER HAS CHANGE MY MOTOR OIL ALL THIS YEAR WITHOUT TELLING ME UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS OVER AND I SURE THEY KNOW AND HEAR COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUES ALREADY THEY SHOULD DO A RECALLED ON THIS CAR DO TO SAFETY REASON. THANKS,

I HAVE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD 2.4L EX-L WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I STARTED EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH THE START BUTTON, ALL OF MY 'NORMAL' DASH LIGHTS COME ON AS IF I PUT IT IN START MODE AND I HEAR ONE CLICK, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER. WHILE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, IT HAPPENS MORE THAN IT STARTS ON THE FIRST TRY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT CAN TAKE BETWEEN 2-6 TRIES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTS. I REPLACED THE BATTERY 6 MONTHS AGO, BUT THE ISSUE CAME RECENTLY AND IS STILL ONGOING. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER BOTH TESTED BY NUMEROUS PLACES AND BOTH ARE TESTING GOOD.

WE HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STARTING. WE FOUND AN ONLINE THREAD ON THE SUBJECT WITH WORKAROUND TRICKS. SOMETIMES PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTING IT FROM THERE WORKS, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. WHAT WORKS MOST OFTEN IS TURN KEY ONE NOTCH, WAIT 3 SECONDS, TURN AGAIN AND WAIT UNTIL LIGHTS GO AWAY, THEN AGAIN AND THEN IT STARTS. WHAT IS THIS ISSUE? IS THERE A RECALL THAT CAN FIX THIS ISSUE?
Power train, Electrical system, Engine, Jul 3, 2020
ALL 2013-2016 HONDA ACCORDS WITH V6 ENGINES AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVE A DESIGN FAILURE THAT CAUSES THE STARTER AND TORQUE CONVERTER TO GRIND INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL THEY FAIL. THIS DESIGN FAILURE CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND CAN LEAD TO THE OWNER STRANDED. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $4,000 . MY FAILURE STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH LESS THEN 50,000 MILES. I'VE HAD TO PAY FOR 3 NEW STARTERS AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOW THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT A VERY HIGH RATE ON THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WON'T ALIGN AND EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS REPLACED THE PROBLEM WILL STILL OCCUR BECAUSE OF THE CLEARANCE FAILURE DUE A MANUFACTURER DESIGN ISSUE.

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA ACCORD 2014. THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AT 47K MILES AND AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED AT NARDY HONDA IT ONCE AGAIN BROKE DOWN AT 75K MILES . I HAVE AN 7 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND NARDY MGT. EXTENDED IT TO 112K MILES . NOW IN APRIL 2020 THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE ENGINE TROUBLE . I HAVE IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR VEHICLE SINCE NARDY WAS TOTALLY CLOSED DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS. ONCE AT HUNTINGTON HONDA, SERVICE MECHANIC SHOWS ME SOME THING HAPPENED TO THE WIRES ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BY THE FIRE WALL. HE STATED A RODENT MAY HAVE CHEWED SOME WIRES. THE SERVICE MGT. STATED I WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL. THEY PUT SOME KIND OF RODENT PROOF TAPE OVER THE AREA , BUT DIDN'T EXTENDED THE TAPE ANOTHER 2 FEET TO COVER THE ENTIRE BACK AREA. WHEN I ASKED WHY NOT THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TAPE WAS EXPENSIVE. WELL 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM AROSE A COUPLE INCHES WHERE THE MECHANIC FAILED TO EXTEND THE TAPE. SERVICE MGT STATED THAT THEY WERE SORRY BUT YOU WILL NOT BE COVERED FOR THE SAME REPAIR WHICH IN TOTAL WAS OVER 1000 DOLLARS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD OF REPAIRED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME . I ALSO LEARN THAT HONDA HAD MADE THESES LINES ECO FRIENDLY FROM 2010 TO 2016 WHERE IT ATTRACTED RODENTS . I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.*DT*JB
