At 61xxx miles the vehicle began to no longer start reliably. Sometimes I would push the start button and it would start normally and sometimes I would just hear a single click but the engine would not turn over. When the engine would not start it would sometimes start if you retried it, but usually it would only restart after multiple pushes of the start button. Some days I could not start it after 20 or more attempts. After about a week of this when I finally got it started I drove it to my local mechanic's shop and left it for them to deal with. They diagnosed it as a bad starter, replaced the starter and now it works ok. I had tested the car battery and it had 13.6 volts. I tested the key fob batteries and they had well over their advertised 3V. I read the Honda Accord forums and found many, many people with the same symptoms. I believe this is the 6th Honda I have owned and never replaced a starter on any of them - 3 or 4 of them have gone nearly 200K miles with no starter problem. Judging by the number of people who have reported bad starters in the first 75000 miles I would have to say Honda, was either trying to save money by using cheap starters or has a bad supplier for their starters. Whatever it is, they are putting their customers ind some very inconvenient and potentially dangerous situations.

Bought this car at the end of its 3 year warranty 2 years ago. I immediately had to have the starter and battery replaced (09/16). Car began not starting when the push button is engaged, starter was replaced again in (03/18). Now in September the car began taking 5 or 6 presses of the start button to start. Dealer replaced the battery (09/18). One week later the problem began again and the starter was replaced again (10/18).

Intermittent starting problems. Car has new battery and alternator is good. Please see same complaints online. One time I drove home from work for about 15 miles, turned off car in the driveway, tried to start the car and wont start.

I had about 3 to 4 times that the car doesn't start at first time this year. Those times, I had to try four or five times. Now I think of it it started to happen after replacing the recalled part, battery sensor on 3/23/2018. On 9/10/2018, I tried so many time to start the car but had to towed to Honda dealer to take a look. Next day, I was told the starter needed the starter replacement costing $850, and my car only has 35600 miles on it.

The Honda has been intermittently starting for the past month. When you initially try to start there is a click and if you try again often 3-4 attempts it will start. Summer months this is very frustrating the vehicle has a battery sensor recall and since the recall this has started to occur.

Sometimes the car will not start. Brake is depressed and button is pushed to start, green light goes on but car does not start. Air conditioner will run. I then push the starter button and everything goes off and try to start the car again. Car usually starts after one or two times.

My car has just gone beyond the 36,000 mile warrantee & is now having difficulty starting. When the start button is pushed, all I get is some warning lights. It will start after 6 - 12 attempts. It does not seem to matter if the engine is cold or warm. Three different people have experienced this problem when starting this vehicle. The problem has lasted weeks & is still present. It looks like the repair will cost about $600.

2013 Accord. Original battery died September 2016 - replaced battery again July 2018. Beginning in May 2018 turn the key and lights come on but engine doesn't crank. It takes 2 or 3 tries then cranks and starts like normal. Very disappointed in Honda brand. They were know for reliability - no longer! would not recommend Honda to anyone I know looking for a car.

Car developed problems starting. All lights, radio, etc would turn on but the starter will not start the vehicle. It began slowly and got increasingly worse with time. Problem got even worse after the recalled battery sensor was replaced.

2 items- was there an air bag recall? & starter push button malfunction, it doesn't start at times when pushed, it's getting worst, I'm up to over five trys and now it feels like I'd be stuck at any location. It started about two months ago. Someone on youtube claimed that there was a recall on the 2013 Accord push button starter.

Car won't start. After battery sensor recall was completed the problem started. Brake pedal does not go down. Press keyless start and only dashboard lights go on. Have to get the car jumped every 2-3 days. Afraid to turn the car off. All recalls completed. Dealer where I purchased the car from was not familiar with the problem. Brand new battery.

Starter issue that is affected by not engaging due the heat of the engine or other heat source I.e. oil pan or exhaust system. Driving my Honda Accord from lake mary to fort meyers beach where I pulled into a rest area near rubonia fl, parked the car and turned the engine off. I came back to the car and proceeded to insert my key and nothing happened. Luckily there was a state farm road Ranger in the rest stop and he moved his truck to mine and proceeded to give me a jump. Once the jumper cables were on, the car turned over without an issue.

Starter issue that is affected by not engaging due the heat of the engine or other heat source I.e. oil pan or exhaust system. I drove my Honda Accord 2013 about 60 miles then turned the car off and came back and the engine would not turn over. Only sound was one click as you turned the key. Triple a was called and they said the issue was not battery related as the battery itself was under a year old and the voltage measurement was $12.81, measured : 535 cca, rated: 500 cca at a temperature of 98. Also the test for low cranking amps was $12.48 volts, 13.4 amps. The charging system test showed $12.64 for both loaded and unloaded. The service technician said that it was a starter issue that was affected by the heat of the engine or other heat source I.e. oil pan or exhaust system. After cooling the engine starts without a problem.

Push button start is acting up. At times when you push button to start the car it only clicks, after a few tries the car will start. I have seen several complaints on this. Honda has admitted to an issue with the V6 model but not the V4 model that is having the same issue
