CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013-2014 Honda Accord is showing signs of an electrical problem with the starter failing soon after the 36K mile warranty expires. It's compounded by reports that the OEM battery doesn't have sufficient amps to start the V6 reliably after a year or two.

For now we are rating this problem with the "Beware" seal because it's occurring so soon after the 36K mile warranty expires. The upshot is when your Accord won't start, that's never good, but especially bad when it's just a few years old.

Also once again, owners are complaining that the 2014 Honda Accord seats are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable seats has been a significant complaint with the Accord since the 2008 model year.

Pressing the start button with key fob next to it turns on the ignition as well as the lights on the dash but does not crank the engine, will have to try multiple times to start the engine. This is happening intermittently and started about a month ago, seems to be getting progressively worse as the last incident required repeating 6 times to get this started. Purchased the vehicle new from the dealership and only has 30K miles, all maintenance performed at the dealership. Disappointed to experience such issue from a Honda as the decision to purchase was solely based on the reputation of Honda.

I have been experiencing trouble starting my car recently. I push the start button have my food on the break and it takes a few times sometimes over 4 times to actually start the car. Lights and everything come on when I push to start but the engine is not turning over. Dealership tested battery, alternator, starter, and wiring and everything looked to be working correctly. My car was checked twice for the battery sensor recall issue affecting my make and model and it checked out fine both times.

We have approximately 34,000 miles on our 2014 Honda Accord V6. As many people have complained, there is a faulty starter issue. When the vehicle is stationary, and we are attempting to start the vehicle, we depress the push start button and hear many clicks but no turn over of the engine. We have to make several attempts to start the engine. Upon calling the dealership, they were well aware of the issue but stated Honda has yet to do anything to resolve the widespread problem.

To whom it may concern, I've been reviewing several website's where car owners of 2014 Honda Accord sedan's has reported where the ignition will not turn over when you insert their key. I have to turn my key and take it out at least 5 times in over for the ignition to turn over. This is a major concern for my especially if I'm stranded. I was in my parking garage on 11/19/18 at 5:30pm where my car will not start. I had to take my key out and insert it in the ignition for about 5 times before it turnover. My car has had its routinely check ups and I'm not sure as to why this is happening all or suddenly. I'm noticing that this has been happen for about 2 months. When I taken my car to my local dealership- duval Honda on casset ave and they stated that no one has reported this issue. However I have review plenty of complaints of the similar issue that I'm having.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. After the contact's son parked and turned off the vehicle, it caught on fire later that day. The fire department extinguished the fire and a police report was filed. The cause of the fire was unknown. There were no injuries sustained. It was not determined if the vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was towed to an unknown location and was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown.

I recently came upon an article about 2014 Honda's that would over heat and you would lose power causing the vehicle to stall. This happened to my vehicle about a week ago I was driving on the highway at low speed in traffic and my vehicle began to stall before it stalled out I pressed the gas and it returned to normal RPM. It happened again one more time about two minutes later and hasn't happened since.

I only have 29,600+ miles on my 2014 Honda Accord with trouble starting car engine. Sometimes it takes 2 to 3 times before engine starts. I brought to my Honda dealer and they told me that I am looking at a $700+ bill to replace the defective starter. I see that other owners have the same problem!

Problem: Seems to be with ignition. While car is stationary, the vehicle fails at the initial turn of the key for ignition. Failure of ignition may happen 2-3 times before car will run. Not only has this now happened more than half a dozen times, but we are also seeing larger number of tries before the vehicle will start. (example: First several occurrences the car would start after 1-2 tries. Now it is more common to take 2-3 tries before ignition.) this could cause any of us to be stranded unexpectantly...especially concerned if this happens on a trip away from home, &/or to wife or daughter alone. We heard other years of same Honda Accord is having this problem. So we were surprised not to see our make and model listed for recall.

I purchased 2014 Honda Accord sport new in March 2014. After 33000 miles the starter began to not start the engine after the first attempt and sometimes the second or third attempt.I brought the car into Liberty Honda hartford ct. For service.dealer said the starter was defective and not covered under warranty since the time was over the 3year coverage period eventhough the mileage was under the 36000 miles.dealer said 2014 and 2015 years had some bad starters installed by factory.I paid for new starter installed for $775. Why did Honda put bad starters in cars that would become defective shortly after the warranty expiration? many complaints from 2014 & 2015 Honda Accord owners about the problem.Honda should have issued a repair based on goodwill. Dealer said no. When you can't start the car quickly that's a safety issue. Car would not start quickly while parked in driveway overnight, parked at a store parking with engine still warm or parked on city street with engine still warm.time of year was April and May 2018.

My transmission went out at 100K miles uncertain why but its obviously a recall on a bad car im still making payments and the car doesnt work the car has engine issues and no cold A/C and many other issues I think this car needs to be overlooked at its only been since 2014 til 2018 and the car should have not had any issues im so sad that Honda let me down I owned several Honda im the past and I trusted there vehicle but im not happy with this 2014 Honda Accord sport I hope this issues gets doubt with and Honda understands I owned Honda Accord before many of them and this one has been a lemon from what I see not a good year for Honda 2014 or my car was a lemon

Our 2014 Honda Accord (purchased "certified pre-owned") has an intermittent issue. First of all the car has 53,000 miles. Have already had to replace the battery; since replacing the battery, a myriad of lights come and go on the dash for approximately 1 month. Now the lights are staying on - brake, ABS, fcw, ldw, steering assist. Dealer says "probably" the ABS module ($1400). Launched a complaint about this issue with Honda America - they tell me to take it in and have it checked. My question(s) were (a) by spending $1400, is this going to fix it or will it "probably" fix it. (B) how long before it happens again?- keep in mind the first one lasted 53,000 miles (C) how dangerous is this" no answers to any of these questions were answered; the only thing that was clear was that it wasn't a widespread issue because the nhsta or Honda hadn't issued any kind of tsb or recall. I thought it was somewhat telling when I called another dealership, spoke with the desk person in service. While over the phone, explained the lights that were on - the answer of "it's the ABS module" was instant. For something that isn't "common" or widespread, this was a very quick reply. Also a google search turns up other issues just like the one we are having. Just wonder how safe this is"
