The transmission went out while I was driving my 2014 Honda Accord. More specifically, I was driving out of a mall's parking lot. There are only 85,636 miles on the car and the car was made in America in January 2014. Prior to this event, there weren't any issues or alerts regarding the transmission.

Purchased 2014 Accord 5 years ago, and my oil light came on so I called to get my car service since my oil life said I was at 30%. I am now being told that my car is burning a lot of oil. Of course, when I am out of warranty. The dealership performed the oil consumption test after I reached 1K miles from my oil change and they said I may need to replace piston rings or get a new engine. I find it surprising for a car that is only 5 years old needs a new engine. Honda must be lying to their customers and failing the emissions test as their cars are burning way too much oil. Honda is not doing anything to fix this; it was a problem with the older cars (hence the recall for 2008-2011 models) and seems like it continues to be problem for the newer cars. Keep in mind, I have gone to the same dealer for all of my services and kept up to date with maintenance; and I was never told I had low oil in these five years.

The car is burning oil. I completed an oil consumption test as requested by the Honda dealer and the oil consumption is high, leading them to conclude that the car is burning oil.

I believe Honda is cheating on their emissions certifications my car. My car has a California: Pzev emission certification which continues for 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. I purchased this pzev car thinking it would be good for our environment. My car has been well cared for, has 28, xxx miles on it, and is currently consuming engine oil at the rate of about one quart every 3,000 miles. I have been to walnut creek Honda complaining about this excessive oil consumption, and they tell me to continue adding oil until the oil consumption rate increases to one quart every 500 miles. Enough-is-enough! the internet. The internet is full of postings from other angry Honda owners complaining about excessive oil consumption of up to one quart every thousand miles and Honda says this is normal and refused to take responsibility for correcting Honda problem. Discussion. Pzev means partial zero emissions vehicle and I believe my car also meets the low emissions vehicle (lev) tailpipe-emission standards. Excessive oil consumption unnecessarily increases air pollution as evidenced by the coating of black soot on the insides of my cars tail pipe. Conclusion. I believe that Honda is cheating on their emissions certifications by designing and building engines that early in their useful life develop excessive oil consumption and Honda is refusing to correct their design defect until it reaches one quart of oil burned (creating unnecessary air pollution) every 500 miles driven. My friend frank has a 2003 Honda Accord with 85, xxx miles that uses almost zero oil between oil changes, so Honda definitely knows how to make engines that do not burn oil.

I was driving in my 2014 Honda Accord. I began to feel what I would describe as "tremors" as I was accelerating the car. I was going at a speed of about 25 mph. The tremors would occur for a bit then the feel of the drive was normal. This occurred on and off over the next 2-3 miles. I was at a stoplight and when the light changed, my car would not move at all, not while in drive or reverse. It just wouldn't move. I had to have the car towed to a Honda dealership. Once Honda evaluated the car after charging a $130 "diagnostic" fee, I was told that the problem was with the cvt transmission and that the problem was referred to the dealership's district(?) service manager to "see what Honda wants to do about it". the next day I received a call that the cost of the repair/replacement would be $4,386.80 and that Honda was agreeing to cover 60% of the cost and I would be responsible for paying 40% of the costs, which amounted to $1,826.88 (including taxes). When I asked what specifically was wrong with the cvt transmission, I was simply told "Honda doesn't allow us to open cvt transmissions." This sounds very suspicious to me. I need my car, so I don't feel like I have any choice but to pay the costs. However, I should point out that I keep up with the routine scheduled maintenance and had the transmission service as suggested at about 50K miles. I bought the car new in July 2014, so it is only 4 1/2 years old and has less than 65K miles on it. It seems like this transmission should be deemed defective and be completely covered under my warranty or extended warranty. Please advise.

Since I bought the car I've had problems with the car staying on and running, when I come to turn it on, it shuts off. I have taken it to Honda dealers and they don't see anything wrong with it.

My 2014 Honda Accord has 42,000 miles. Starting a couple months ago, the car would not start randomly. (battery, alternator tested good. No issues with them) I drive a manual transmission, if the car stalls in traffic or on a hill I wouldn't be able to start the car back up. This is extremely dangerous! I have been stranded places because the car won't start. One time it was 100 degrees outside and I couldn't leave to go home from work because it wouldn't start. Since the issue started a couple months ago, it is no much worse. I have to turn the key 15 to 20 times and it finally will start. Sometimes it wont. I have read that many people have issues with these 9th gen Honda Accord starters failing. Mine failed at 42,000 miles" what modern car's starter dies that early"! someone else's starter died at 24,000 miles. Many posts online about the issue. Took the car to the dealership, they wanted $800 to fix the issue. My warranty expired at 36,000 miles. So dangerous, expensive, and frustrating! this problem needs to be fixed by Honda.

Randomly the ABS, brake, traction, and steering wheel indicators appeared after starting the car and moving in motion to go to the store. No warnings preceded. After being checked by a mechanic, it was diagnosed as having a bad modulator. The indicator light continues to pop up each trip. Since having the car, the starter was replaced less than a year ago.

Wheel bearing failure, pre-mature - the car made a loud low hum between 35-60 mph. Reading forum's on line, road noise from the Michelin tires was described which I assumed the noise to be. The noise seemed to get louder over time so I had the dealer check it out. Both the left and right rear wheel bearings had gone bad on a 3 plus year old car (just out of warranty) with 26,000 miles. Both wheel bearings were replaced and it solved the problem.

Oil life at 40%. car was making noise. While driving and pressed on brakes...oil pressure light would turn on and off. Checked oil on car. No drop of oil in the engine. Excessive oil consumption. No leaks.. carbon found on cylinders, inside engine and on pinston rings. This is not normal especially when consistent oil changes, fuel injection was cleaned, and cvt transmission is also replaced consistently. I just bought the car 6months ago. Engine is currently dismantled and warranty does not cover! completely upsetting!

My 2014 Accord ex sedan is on recall notice and I am having a final repair on the battery management senor next week. For several weeks I am experiencing an electrical problem intermittently trying to start my car. When I push the start button with my foot on the brake pedal sometimes the care does not start. I have had the car since Nov. 2013 and have only had this problem for the past few weeks. All symbols on the instrument panel light up and quickly go off and I get a notice on the instrument panel "power is on": when I push the button again 1-3 times, the car starts. I have not experienced problems with stalling or cutting off while in motion. My battery is only 2 yr. Old. And it was just checked last month and the charge was ok. Clearly there is a short affecting ignition of the ignition of the engine. The problem I have described has so far only occurred when the car is stationary. I only have 42,000 miles on the car and so this should not be happening and is quite disturbing; it can become a major safety problem. I know that NHTSA has issued Honda electrical system campaigns F/ recall notices for other Honda vehicles with the same problem, but yet for my 2014 sedan. It needs to be included. From reviewing the NHTSA complaint database it is clear this is a known problem by NHTSA and Honda and needs to be dealt with. I am requesting that this complaint be expeditiously investigated and the problem for my car and is recognized as a systemic problem for multiple Honda products for many years and Honda figure out a permanent solution. I am requesting that Honda covers the cost of parts/labor to fix even though I am past the regular warranty period (except I am still within the power train warranty ) this week (November 13 to 11/17) problem occurred 4 times.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact heard an abnormal squeaking noise coming from the vehicle. When turning the steering wheel, there was an abnormal chiming noise. The contact also noticed bubbles on the windshield, which eventually cracked, and the exterior paint was bubbling. Additionally, the suspension and engine made abnormal cracking and hissing noises. The vehicle was taken to rick case Honda (157000 rick case Honda way, davie, fl 33331) where it was diagnosed that the squeaking noise was due to the transmission needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. All the other issues had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the transmission issue and provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Body: The tension bar does not open the car trunk lid all the way which more often drops down and hit the person's head or face who is putting stuffs in the trunk assuming it is fully open all the way. I did got hit twice by the corner and edge of the trunk lid on the forehead and left temple. The latter caused bruise and pain that took me a week to recover. Should change weak tension bar to strong gas tube operation. Engine: The car vibrates and rattles upon putting on reverse gear even after at least a minute warmup in the morning. The dealer said it is normal for this type of car? this is very embarrassing for a newer car. I never see this in a Toyota cars that I owned: Sienna, avalon... seats: Driver seat is not well designed and causing awkward and uncomfortable and fatigue position while driving. There is insufficiency of support for lumbar are ( the current one is too soft and sitting back so there is virtually no support at all). Again Toyota cars seem not having this kind of problem. Also, the driver window is not tall enough that even a 5'6" person can bang his head to the top of the window when getting up and out of the drive seat. It should be 2" taller to avoid this problem. They should put cushion to the top edge and safety grip handle at the minimum. Driving condition: The car seems to wander when running on freeway at normal speed.

(1/12/2016) while trying to merge onto the highway the car jolted and the engine revved up and the transmission disengaged causing the car to stall. The car behind me came barreling up on my bumper nearly crashing into me. This is a very dangerous issue. Had my children been in the car, and the driver behind me not been so alert (praise the lord), this could have had devastating consequences. After that instance the transmission kept slipping and the engine would rev up again and again, the transmission would not engage, and the car would jolt forward and back. This car only has 112,000 miles on it. All our maintenance and repairs have been per schedule and performed at the Honda dealership so there is no excuse for this transmission to fail this early. I checked the transmission fluid to see if that may have contributed to the issue, however it was full and clean (thanks to regular maintenance). In researching this further I found several complaints about this model experiencing the same issue. It turns out that there has been a recall of over 1 million vehicles on this very problem back in 2004 (ntsa reference #04V176000, April 15, 2004). There has also been a class action lawsuit covering several Honda models related to this issue. This failure is unacceptable given Honda's reputation for quality and dependability. Not to mention the fact that I have 4 children, and had this been under different circumstances could have had catastrophic results. Please Honda; do the right thing and fix this issue.

My 2014 Honda Accord coupe has 33,900+ miles and for the past year, I have had it in to fox Honda in grand rapids four times for the same problem. The problem is, that it stutters often when accelerating and twice, the engine has stalled out and had to be restarted. Fox motors plugs a computer into the car and they tell me that there are no reports of any problems and they can't fix what they can't detect. Two days ago, while driving to the va hospital in battle creek, I pulled out into traffic on anderson rd/street and the car stalled and a fedex semi had to drive onto shoulder and onto a yard to keep from hitting us and if he hadn't, we might have been killed. I took the car into fox motors and they are standing pat, refusing to help us. They did offer to buy the car back from me, but for a terrible price and I asked them what they would do with it and they dealership manager said that they would resell it with confidence and I refused to sell it to them if they were going to resell it with a service certification. How dare them do that! I don't know what to do next.

When I put the car in "N" (neutral) from "D", the keeps moving forward. It has done this since new, it's been a year and keeps doing it. I need to put it in "R" and then back to "N" so that it doesn't move. This is a bad thing, really bad, as "N" is suppose to put the car in idle state but it doesn't do this. The car is a 2014 V6 Accord sedan. Thank you.
