“I purchase a 2014 Honda sport on october 2013 with 0 miles. 4 months later I started to have issues with engine vibration shake while on full stop on drive mode. It has been back to where the vehicle was purchase 3x regarding the issue and still they cannot duplicate the problem. On other occasion the car also now stalls out on the freeway doing 50 - 80 MPH. Vehicle has stalled out 4x since then to make it worst it even stalled out at the dealers drive way. …”
NHTSA complaint #10606087, filed 2014-06, 17,000 miles“Starter does not engage, when button is pushed often the starter simply spins. Tried battery replacement, did research and found there is a common issue with this vehicle where the starter isn't aligned quite properly.”
NHTSA complaint #11053317, filed 2017-12, 40,000 miles“I am having problems with my car starting… even after replacing the starter 3 times. I am having the exact issue referenced in TSB No.16-002. I can hear the grinding noise but due to the incorrect positioning of the torque converter ring gear, the starter isn’t spinning the engine at startup even after replacing the starter. I can’t afford to keep replacing the starter and have my car not start everyday. Is Honda able to help with this issue?”
