Been an owner for many Honda’s & Acura’s (83 hatch accord, 88 integra, 90 accord, 94 & 95 civic coupe, 2000 accord, 2001 mdx) these are own my myself & my family. All pretty good cars without engine or tranny issues, not to mention ABS issue. Fast forward to our 2014 accord at 80k miles, ABS issue just fixed today at dealer $1.7k. I tried to bring to non-dealer shops to reduce cost but they said only Honda dealer can repair, crap.... Summary: I doubt I will ever own a Honda from here on, they are just not the same anymore, look at the amount of Honda’s / Acura’s we have owned w/ high mileages. I have the history to backup my claim so anyways old Honda’s were great , new ones not so great......just my opinion before u consider Honda’s, maybe the new ones are better? 2020+ who knows..
2014 Accord Sport Strut Problem

I usually don't write any negative reviews but when I was researching about the issue my 2014 Honda Accord Sports is having, I came across Dan's review here at Edmunds about the same car. He was going thru the same issue as I am going thru my car and at that point, I realized that I am not the only one going thru this issue and we need to make all the Honda owner aware about the issue. All the Honda owner should know that how Honda doesn't stand behind their product and this is the last things I ever expected from Honda. Like Dan, I started having an issue with my car when it had 15000 miles on it. I started to hear roar noise from the back tires and I took it to the dealership. The tires were cupped but they assured me that there is nothing wrong with my car and suggested me to replace the tire. I always do all my regular service on time. Like Dan, I also took my car to different mechanics, they all told me that it would be a waste of time and money but I got all four tires replaced anyway. Fast forward now, my car has 40000 miles on it and all four of my tires are cupped again. I was stupid not to get rid of the car then rather I invested all the money on new tires. Now Honda dealer told me that the tire is too soft and I need to get another pair of different brands of the tire which will solve the problem. This is the last Honda I will ever buy. HONDA DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

I am really dissatisfied with my 2014 Honda Accord Sport. It is a nice looking car but totally unreliable. I am the first owner and I decided I needed a new car so I wouldn't have any trouble with repairs are being stranded. A year after my purchase, I noticed that the ignition switch would not engage and start the car. I figured I was "doing" something wrong and tried a couple of times to start the car. My husband brought it into the dealership and they said it was probably the battery (small battery came with car) and that the ignition switch was not the problem and not covered under warranty. The car stranded us and we had the battery replaced. This did not solve the problem. Now it takes me a 5-10 times of trying to start the car. The panel and headlights come on, so does the radio but the car will not start. It has gotten to the point, that I leave my teenager in the car with it running so I don't have to sit there wondering if the car will no longer start. The car refuses to start warm or cold. It is frustrating the heck out of me and Honda Customer Service was of no help. They "apologized" and recommended a new dealer service and then wanted to know if I owned other Hondas. (?) I asked her what does that have to do with my new Honda problems. This will be my last Honda purchase.******After the car refused to start in a supermarket parking lot one Sunday evening, we brought the car in to Honda service department and were "forced" to pay for the replacement of a faulty starter. I argued my point, and they kept referring to their 50K warranty policy even though problem had started 14 months after we had purchased the car and before the mileage. We paid the discounted price and I called the Honda Customer Service line and argued some more, three weeks later I received a full refund for the car repair. I don't like the car, but I'm satisfied that Honda reimbursed for the repairs. *****July 2017, three years later and I hate my car. Brought the car in last year because we noticed the sound of air rushing in the driver's side door was getting very loud. I thought the window was slightly open and I would try to roll up window. Noise still there, The dealer did something to rubber edge in the window housing. A day later the loud rushing sound continued. Disgusted with this problem, and too busy with family matters I put it off for a few more months. When I brought it back to same Honda service department, I was told that there was a small gap between the door and the body of the car and the representative suggested I bring it to a body shop and have them take care of it....he also said maybe the constant opening of the driver door caused the gap since I told him how a gap was possible since the car and never been in an accident. My 2000 Camry is still running and there is no loud rushing air sound. Next car will be a Toyota. I hate my Honda. My co-worker replaced her 2 year old Honda last year because it wouldn't start. She bought a new Honda and her trunk doesn't close. I was told that the trunk is not aligned properly....

2014 Accord Sport Strut Problem

I don't normally write negative reviews but this will be an exception. There are three things that are less than expected for a car that has the reputation that Honda has. First the road noise was a lot louder than it should be, but being a sport model might be the reason for that. Second the radio reception is the worst that I've ever had in a car. Third I had to have the driver's side rear wheel bearing replaced at 12,523 miles then the passenger's side rear wheel bearing replaced at 21,273 miles. This was done under the warrantee, but when I asked if there could be a reason for wheel bearings to fail with such low mileage, I was told that they were just defective. They were replaced at no charge to me so I didn't think any more about it. After returning from a driving vacation my wife and I heard the familiar roar of worn wheel bearings so I took it to the dealer again to have it fixed again. The car only has 26,000 miles on it. I was told that it was not the bearings this time but the rear tires were "cupped" because of being out of alignment. I asked how bad it was because the car doesn't pull one way or the other. They checked and found that it was not out of alignment (I have the readout) on their own machine but they still said it was out and needed new tires and an alignment. I went to the tire dealer (not sure if I should use company names but this is a well-respected national chain). They told me that "cupped tires are not an alignment issue and that my struts were "shot". They said that's what causes tires to "cup" or "chop". I talked to several mechanics and researched this issue on the internet to find that the tire people were right. As a reference in this case, I had my tires checked for alignment and again found that they were good. I approached the car dealer's service department about my findings and asked if the struts were covered under the warrantee. They said yes if they were bad, but they said they were not bad because they weren't leaking and would not replace them. I called Honda America to see if they would help me with this. Their policy is to not accept "third party" solutions to problems. To make a long story a little shorter, Honda will not stand behind this problem. Having new struts installed would cost over $725.00 just for the rear struts plus to replacement tires to match the one that are on the front of the car would cost over $600.00 plus a four wheel alignment $100.00. Honda's recommendation was to replace the two rear tires and get an alignment. After the research and recommendations of several mechanics, that would be a waste of time and money as the cupping problem would continue and I would see the same problem in another 20,000 to 25,000 miles, wearing out tires in half their lifetime. So even Honda's have problems and if there is a way Honda can get out of fixing the problem under warrantee, they will.

Great car for the price

For the cost, this is a great car. I've had zero issues with it other than routine maintenance and one service bulletin regarding the upper strut assembly coming loose. My only complaint is the wind noise around the driver's door at highway speeds. Took it in several times but it appears to be a design issue with the wind tunnel around the side mirrors... I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore. Otherwise, ZERO issues with this car. And it gets over 30 MPG mixed driving easily. Great bang for the buck.
