If the vehicle is not started and driven at least every second day. A no start condition results. Battery is new, the second one from Honda dealer. Crank/starter speed very lethargic, all conditions, remote start included. Purchased an after market start booster to resolve dead battery issue. Vehicle no longer under warranty.
For more than a year, my car has been having issues starting up. It rarely starts on the first attempt. It usually starts on the second attempt. There are times when it takes multiple attempts to start. I have planned on having the starter replaced when I have the timing belt replaced in a few months. However, today I discovered this site and realized many others have the same issue. Have there been resolutions for anyone? if so, what was the resolution?.
When I push the push button starter it makes a high pitch noise and doesn't start. When I push it the second time it starts. Occasionally, after f I drive the car, cut it off and then try to start it, it won't start. I wait a second or two then try and it starts. This problem started in October 2019. Now it is happening more frequently, at least three - four times a week depending on how often I drive the car. The last time it happened was April 3, 2020. As a result of (covid-19), I am not driving it every day. The.
Tl the contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. While driving, the contact heard an abnormal noise intermittently. Suburban Honda (25100 haggerty rd, farmington hills, mi 48335, (248) 477-1700) was unable to determine the cause of the failure on more than two occasions. The contact reviewed technical service bulletin: 16002 pertaining to the fly wheel and starter, but the dealer kept the vehicle for further diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired as the dealer indicated that it was out of warranty and the starter and fly wheel were not connecting properly. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Intermittently starts. Will only start when using push start 75% of the time. Other 25% there is a winding and grinding sound. Must repeat push start 5 to 6 times before ignition will fire. This occurs randomly while vehicle is not in motion. Starter will not fire the engine and may be shorting out or is hung up or miss firing. Smells of heated plastic noted during and after miss fire.
About a month ago I began having intermittent starting issues. I turn the key to start and it may or may not activate the starter. Now, the issue has worsened to the point it may start on the first attempt, or require 10 or more attempts before power to the starter is achieved. Being a retired mechanic it acts like there is a loose wire or ground at the starter. Talking with Honda, my warrenty has expired (3 year/36,000 mile) and they require over $100 to diagnosis the issue. Researhing this issue on the internet I have found several Honda owners with the exact issue. They all state that Honda corrected the issue by replacing the starter. I purchased my Honda with an understanding of it to be a reliable vehicle. Now, 56,000 miles later (majority are highway miles) I need to replace the starter? the fact is, I have maintained fleets of vehicles, gas and diesel, and I find the need to replace the starter premature and ludicrous! with all the complaints I have read, there is no reason that there is not and has not been a Honda starter recall/good faith warranty for what I would claim to become prematuraly defective. Further more, in my opinion this electrical issue could evolve into a fire hazard.
