Eight problems related to engine grinding noise have been reported for the 2014 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 Honda Accord based on all problems reported for the 2014 Accord.
Vtc actuator needs to be replaced. On a cold start after it's been sitting, vehicle makes a loud grinding noise and has rough idle.
Starter is failing from time to time. When using push-button start, sometimes the starter makes a strong grinding noise and does not start the vehicle. It will sometimes do this for one, two, or three attempts in a row. Eventually, the starter will work. I'm afraid the starter will eventually fail completely. Car has less than 75,000 miles.
Please note that there was a recall for the 2013 Honda Accord for similar issues. The vehicle will at times not start and only make a grinding noise when depressing the start button, this still occurring after changing the battery and starter twice in addition to the fob battery. I speculate that the braking system may contribute to this issue as sometimes the car will start after pumping/pressing the brake pedal a few times or just holding it after initial attempt to start the car (very frustrating). New issue involves the car starting while only pressing the brake and moving the gear shifter (dangerous as a kid can start the vehicle without pressing the start button). Have reported the issue to Honda (local/California main) and spoke to a Honda representative yesterday (5/7/2019) to no avail. Please issues a recall for these cars having this issue before someone gets hurt, or worse, looses their lives. This has been going on for years and is almost on a daily basis, last even was today.
Hello� whenever I cold start my Honda Accord, there's a short grinding noise at the start, in which disappears immediately after a second or two of the grinding. This has happened every single cold start since I bought the car 3 months ago. After doing some research, it appears there was a similar issue for earlier years of this car.
Whenever I start the vehicle, it makes a grinding noise several times before starting. Took it to the dealership I bought it from and I was told it was the starter and the torque converter. I have changed the starter 4 times in span of 3 years period I have had the car. I have taken it to several mechanic and each of them tell me it's the starter and the flywheel. Took it to the dealer to fix it and told them about the flywheel issue. The tech told me it was a problem known to 2013-2015 Honda Accord. I asked the dealers to agree to fixing the starter and any other issues relating to the starter because they know what the issue is but the refused. I have 2 of my colleagues with the same 2014 Honda Accord with the same issues. The issue started 2 months after purchasing the car in November 2018 at a Honda dealership.
Grinding noise while attempting to start. Vehicle was stationary. Grinding noise can occur once or up to 10 times before engine will finally start. Engine had less than 100,000 miles when initially occurred. Continued to get worse over time and mileage.
The vehicle made a loud grinding noise and failed to start at 50k miles on the odometer. Dealer stated that the starter needed to be replaced at a cost of over $900. Dealer refused to provide assistance with expense despite low mileage and clearly premature problem with this vehicle.
