Starter problems of the 2015 Honda Accord - part 1

Vehicle does not start 100% of the time. The safety issue is that being stranded, when it doesn't start , with small children in a rural area is dangerous. The dealer as well as Honda has no solution for the problem. Repairs suggested have all been made and the problem still exists. I know nothing will be done because of this letter, but whomever is reading this I would suggest that you not purchase a Honda product if you care for your family. Wm. Jones.

My 2015 Honda Accord has been giving me problems for more than three years already so every time I turn it on there is a beep three times as soon as I turn on the ignition key then now in often the car does not turn on, so I have to wait like 30 minutes so the car will start again, also about three times all the lights on the windchill had turn off including the radio in the phone chargers everything was pure black and it was in the middle of the night so I couldn’t see nothing on my way home that’s when I had to stop on the right shoulder on the freeway 14 because I couldn’t see to drive with no lights so I turn off the car and wait for a couple of minutes then the car turn on and the lights went back on and actually today I had to call the towing truck to pick me up to take it to the mechanic because it was not turning on not even after 30 minutes but after two hours the car turn on this happened when I was on the gas station putting gasand when I try to turn it on after putting gas that’s when the car didn’t wanna start I was in arcadia city California and we were almost 90° and it was really hot with no shade and I was all by myself no where to go I am very tired of this and I am scared if this happened when I am in the intersection when there’s a lot of traffic, it seems that this problem is been happening very often now it’s been getting worse and worse,.

Ignition key turned and only heard a click. Had to turn off and on many times for it to eventually start engine, if lucky. Did not even hear the engine crank. Best guess is starter failure.

My 2015 Accord v6 has a starting problem where the starter will grind several times before the car will start. This happens about every 3 to 5 weeks. The car will eventually start after several attempts. Although this problem does not occur every time, I am concerned I will be stranded.

Engine will not start. 2015 Honda Accord has about 84k miles. I have been stranded twice now because my car won't start and often requires between 2-4 attempts to start the engine. The cluster lights turn on and everything powered by the battery is working, without the engine starting. I have replaced the battery 3 times (March 2018, January 2020, March 2021). Previous battery was tested and had plenty of voltage left and was charging well, so the alternator is working well. Key fob battery replaced 2 times, most recently December 2020 and is working fine. I believe the starter is defective and I have read countless reports online stating the same issue, and this needs to be investigated and addressed, especially because the part itself is between $150-180 online and the dealership cost to replace this is $1k and above. . .

I have a 2015 Honda Accord with 51k miles. I had to replace the battery at 40k miles. I recently had the same intermitten starting problem that many of you described. Sometimes I have to turn the ignition key 20 times for the car to start. I brought the car to the Honda dealer. They probably saw 100 of similar cases. However, they acted as if my starting problem is a rare case, and charged me $900 to replace the starter. I am disappointed with both Honda and the dealer.

At about 48,000 miles I started having intermittent no start situations which rendered the car unreliable. If you turn the key nothing happens. But usually after several attempts the car would start and then the problem would not repeat for several subsequent starts. Then it would reappear. I found a mechanic who located the problem requiring a starter replacement. Honda should recall these vehicles.

My Honda Accord 2015 has been driven for 48000 miles. I am having problems with the starter. The car doesn't start at times and has become unreliable to drive. This appears to be a problem with many similar model Honda. Request Honda to take action and resolve this issue for all Honda Accord owners and continue to keep their brand promise of reliability and quality. My car continues to have this problem and will take it to the dealership.

Intermittent starting issues - have replaced battery 3 times. Took to Honda dealer on 9/8/17 & 12/29/20. Honda stated no issues. Had alternator and starter tested several times at parts store and they tested fine. Issues have increased to leaving me stranded 3 times in 2 weeks. New battery 12/29/20 is not dead and tests fine but car needs jump to start. Car does have remote start and will not start with key or fob.

My 15 Accord exl v4 is about 5 years ago and 68k. Start having issue to start the car. Push the button and break, car doesn't start. Took my car for a check, I was been told I need to replace the starter. I searched online and lots of 9th gen owners are having same issue. Unacceptable for such age car with starter issue.

Car would not start completely one night leaving me stranded. Now intermittent starting issues at less than 33k miles. Very common issue with starter and Honda has issued a service bulletin but no recall.

My starter clicks once when I try to turn the car on, but the car won't turn on. It's an intermittent thing, but has started happening more and more often. I've been stranded now two times because of it.

At only 38,xxx miles this vehicle has intermittent starting issues. Internet research and mechanic diagnosis indicates that the starter needs to be replaced. It is a known issue at the local dealership, but yet they could not give me a concrete answer as to if replacing the starter will fix the problem long term. With a quoted replacement cost of $1,000 I am leery to have the starter replaced if it does not actually fix the problem. I have been stranded multiple times in the cold because of this issues. A vehicle with only 38,xxx miles and barely out of warranty should not be having these issue. I am okay with fixing a faulty part, but I am not okay with a reoccurring issues not having an exact solution to the problem. Are the starters in these vehicles truly bad or is it something else within the car that is causing the starter to blow? a recall or research outside of Honda (because obviously they are ignoring the issues) needs to be rolled out to get to the bottom of, and fix, these starting problems. Starters should not fail prior to 50,000 miles. If they are constantly failing at low mileage, there needs to be a recall done with the option of replacing the original starters with non-faulty parts. If the starters are solid parts as-is, research needs to be done to determine why the starters are failing. At $1,000 per repair, Honda is making too much money fixing known safety issues with their vehicles.

Our 2015 Honda Accord has developed a starting problem the vehicle has a push button start and more so than not it takes repeated pushes of the start button for the car to crank over. This condition started roughly one month ago and is very concerning to me since it is my wife's car and I don't want her to be stranded because the car doesn't start. When you press the brake and the start button all you hear is a loud click coming from the starter but it doesn't crank over. I have researched the problem and found numerous similar problems with 2013 - 2015 Honda Accords. This is a safety hazard and Honda is being very irresponsible for not stepping up to the plate and admitting it is a very serious problem. Most if not all of the other complaints I've read say it is a starter issue and even the Honda dealerships are saying it is a very common problem!!!.

2015 Honda Accord sport won't start intermittently. I was getting in my car to go to work, when I turned the key and it clicks on the first try, then will start on the second try. Today, I had to try three times before it would start. I got the battery and starter tested and they were both good.

Vehicle will not start while in park. All lights, dash lights, etc come on in the accessory position, but when you turn the key to ignition, the starter does not engage. If you take the drive selector to neutral it will start. This is an intermittent problem that continues to happen since it first started. So far I have not been stranded or needed to have the car towed.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start intermittently and had to have the vehicle towed several times due to the failure. The contact stated that the following day, the vehicle started and operated as intended. The contact stated that the failure recurred and persisted causing the vehicle to become undriveable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the VIN and that the repair was not covered under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.

Started car, drove on highway 20 miles. Parked car to run an errand. Tried to start car 5 mins later; lights lit up on dash but car would not start. Tried several times, finally was successful starting car and continued drive to work. Drove to madison Honda, rt 24, madison, NJ. Advised them of issue while car was running. They examined car and came back 45 mins later saying all systems (battery, starter and alternator) were in good working order. No issues found. They could not repeat my problem so disregarded it. Drove last 10 mins to my office. Several hours later, tried to start car, would not crank. Tried several more times, still nothing. I felt stranded at this location with no means of getting home. Waited a few minutes and tried again and it started with no problem. Every morning since this began it's the same thing. The car is unreliable. Yesterday had to try a handful of times before it started. Today I tried to start the car for 25 minutes before I was successful. Drove to my meeting and later began having problems starting the car again. Problem is quickly and progressively getting worse. This car has less than 80,000 miles on it. I have owned this vehicle since early 2015. The dealership has taken care of regular maintenance. This vehicle is unsafe. I never know if and when it will start again! I'm worried about when it will stop starting at all! and where I'll be when it completely fails! this is a huge safety issue! what about TSB 16-002? a design issue that is going unnoticed and unaddressed? why is Honda not responding to these complaints? because of Honda's lack of consideration and the car's unreliability, I won't be buying another Honda!!! please help!.

Push to start not working properly. Crank with no turnover or just clicks. The car usually starts after multiple attempts. A new starter is needed.

Car does not start randomly. Lights and dashboard will come on but engine will not start and makes a clicking noise. After turning the keys a few times the car will start like nothing happened, and this issue has been going on for a few months recently. Car is parked. Went to dealership and they said it was a starter issue and after researching the problem many 2015 Accord dealers are having the exact same issue.

I own a 2015 Honda Accord with 38k miles. I started having problems with it starting. Some days it would crank right up other times I have to try multiple times or not start unless it's jump started. I took it to have the battery checked they told me it was my battery so we installed a new battery and it started acting up again not wanting to start . I finally took it in to be checked today and they tell me it's the starter!!! this is ridiculous for a car with 38,000 miles. Now it looks like I have to fork out $800 for a starter. I am a very dissatisfied Honda customer. . Don't plan on ever purchasing another after this. Honda needs to make this right for their customers!!!!!.

My car is having issues turning on. It is brand new 2015 from a Honda certified lot. Upon startup I hear a grinding or whining noise from the starter area. (not always) maybe a faulty starter motor and incorrect positioning of the torque converter ring gear, the gear with which the starter meshes to spin the engine at startup. It is a problem I have every day when I try to turn on my car. Sometime it goes on the first press start, other times, I've waited an hour in my car trying to turn it on to get to my next destination.

Car has trouble starting. Won't turn over. Just clicks when you turn the key. The car was off and not in motion. It happens several times a day no matter where I'm parked. At first it started happening occasionally. Now it happens every time I start the car. I had a mechanic check it out and can't find out what's wrong but recommended a new starter.

Starter began grinding and skipping at 55,000 miles. I drive 70 miles round trip each day, so the mileage doesn't represent the actual limited amount of starts I have had with this car. TSB from Honda declares �improper clearance in starter with pinion gear may cause starting malfunction. � must rotate torque converter bolts one round clockwise and replace starter to fix. But, this won't fix the issue. The improper clearance is a design flaw. New starter will do the same thing. If the starter malfunctions again, then a new torque converter is required. This is absolutely ridiculous and unfounded in car maintenance. A bad starter design costs owners +3,400$ to remedy the second time. Which still won't fix it. The third starter still won't have the proper clearance.

Vehicle needs new battery every 2 years. Has left me stranded twice. The car has less than 90,000 miles and is only 4 years old. Honda has replaced under recall some type of battery sensor but this has not helped. There are two TSB's that I know TSB 16-002 and TSB 17-057. Car gurus website has a blog with a large number of Accord owners all in the same boat. People are replacing starters, alternators, ignition switches, batteries, etc. To no avail. Honda has turned its back on its customers. I can not afford this. Please help.

My car has 58,000 miles. And now the car start up first time and after starting and stopping it the vehicle will intermittently not start. When I push the push start button the lights come on and the radio and the heat comes on but it just clicks. I took it to the local Honda dealer and they recommend the I replace the starter and rotating the torque converter one bold hole counterclockwise.

Whenever attempting to start the vehicle after it had recently been turned off (when getting gas or running into store quickly) the dash and interior lights up and chimes but makes no attempt at start (no fuel pump power or attempt to crank over motor) and this occurs frequently amidst my vehicle and others of the same year/ make without ever receiving a check engine light or warning. He noted as well that the vehicle has had the battery, starter, and alternator tested without any conclusive results as to the issue. Honda dealership as well failed to give me or other owners a conclusive fix for the issue and remains ongoing.

Intermittent issues with starting. I hear and see a flicker on the dashboard and lights, however it doesn't start. I plug a jumper pack in and it immediately starts, as if nothing happened. This will have 5-6 times a week after running fine throughout the day. Just happens surprisingly. The starter has been replaced in which the Honda dealership says was the issue. There is clearly some other issue happening, maybe the electrical system but they refused to check to even help diagnose again.

Defective starter meant I was often stranded, unable to start the car. Had to replace starter on car after less than four years of use.

The car sometimes has trouble starting. I have purchased a new battery as the original went bad (the original battery was less than 3 years old and had around 35,000 miles). The problem seemed to have resolved and now a few months later the car is acting up again. It only happens intermittently and I cannot reproduce the symptoms. This is basically a brand new car but it seems as the alternator or starter is bad and needs to be recalled.

I have been stranded multiple times due to my 2015 Honda Accord coupe not starting. One time I was parked out of town. Another time I was in town, after stopping my vehicle at a residence where I was visiting. I have replaced the alternator and battery. The other day it took 50 attempts before my car finally started. This is an intermittent issue. I should not have to wonder if my 4 year old car will start when I need to go somewhere. The starter is $640. 00 plus tax and after putting approx $700. 00 in already to only continue to have the same issue, I am not willing to put more money in to possibly solve the issue. This has been a growing concern for numerous people on a car discussion board. Some have replaced the starter and still have the issue. I have the receipts for the battery and alternator if needed.

My vehicle's starter periodically grinds and will not engage the ring gear to start the engine. Honda has acknowledged that improper installation at the factory caused the clearance between the starter motor gear and torque converter ring gear to be improper. See TSB 16-002. The starter will engage after repeated (sometimes 5+) attempts. If the vehicle were to experience a stall while driving, the inability to restart the engine could lead to a crash. In addition, a starter that randomly and unexpectedly fails to engage could cause a driver to be stranded in potentially dangerous weather conditions. Honda has declined to extend warranty coverage to this part that has failed due to an admitted error on their part.

The starter in 2015 Honda fail.

Purchased vehicle a year ago and having problems with push button starter. Lights and radio will come on but when you push the button to start it just clicks. Have replaced battery twice and had new starter and still having problems.

2015 Honda has intermittent issues with starting. I hear a click and then it doesn't start. My radio shows and so do my dash lights. It doesn't seem to be resetting my radio clock. I plug a jumper pack in and it immediately starts. I took it to autozone and my battery is 100%. I took it to the Honda dealership and they state that my battery, starter, and alternator are working great. They say there is nothing wrong with my car, but once I leave to stop in to a store for 10 minutes, it suddenly won't start again. It is happening just out of the warranty period. I bought this certified used in June last year and this is my third battery. I am jumping my car regularly each day as I drive around.
