14’ accord 130mi
Common issues.
Starter failure.
Bad strut mounts
Water pump seized
Headlight lens buildup
Valve cover leak
Front Lower ball joints
Great car easy to work on
💯
@@BCautosolutions I just took my 2015 Honda accord to the dealer for a oil change and multi point inspection and they told me about my valve cover and some oil leaking.
I passed on getting it done then but will see what I can do about it. This video came at the right time
@@edb484 yeah vcg is pretty common failure on the 2.4, best of luck ✅
@@edb484 let it be or do it urself its pretty easy
Where do you live? I have a 2015 sport with 115k and only major thing i had to change was the PCV valve and cam chain tensioner and car lived in midwest for past 9 years.
You’re awesome man! Thanks for going out of your way to inform us Accors owners! Cheers
Your welcome!
Love and appreciate these videos man!
Thank you
Best mechanic on CZcams
I watch all your content
Appreciate that
I have a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L bought in 2022 with 55k miles, I’m now at 115k. Only problem I had is with the front brakes. Took me three different times to find brakes that don’t squeak. Yes I tried OEM first. Other than that change your oil every 5K after around 70K miles and please make sure you change the transmission fluid at least every 30k. Otherwise your car will drive rough and will stutter sometimes when you accelerate from a stop. These are great cars my friend has the same year with 830k on it.
Thanks for sharing your experiences
Fingers crossed I can get 350K out my 10G Accord. Buying the right car and maintaining them is key.
That’s awesome to hear! 💯 maintenance will go a long way 👏
I have 363k on a 2016
@fernboogie9554 wtf?? That's about 51 k miles per year and 17 oil changes per year if oil was changed evert 3k miles.. you drive uber?
@@dannydee9919 I actually do 26 oil changes a year.
Wtf
2013 Honda Accord Sport 112,000 miles; I keep my oil leveled and change my oil every 7,000-7,500 miles with synthetic 0W-20 and still runs great. Love the video, very informative.
Awesome, thank you!
Didn't they have oil dilution issues with gas and piston ring issues?
@@MrYega-zq7rz no, oil consumption
Unless those are all squeaky clean highway miles you might want to go to every 5k for oil changes...if you want it to last 300k anyway...
What oil do you think is best for our cars? I have the same accord with same amount of miles
I got a 2013 accord 2.4 349,000 miles. I do all the maintenance n repair myself. I bought this car used 2 years old with 67,000 miles. Ive been changing my oil @ every 7500 miles full synthetic. It only started burning oil @300,000. I do top off the oil with about a quart around 5,000 so i can make it to 7,500. I drive around 37,000 miles a year. I change my tranny fluid every 75,000. Its the best car ive ever had. One interesting part that i had to replace was the engine coolant pipe that started leaking at the lower o ring at @ 270,000 miles. Everything on my car works fine and the car still looks good. Except for the rims which are very corroded.
Awesome, glad it’s been a great experience, thanks for sharing
Wow! That's a lot of driving..thanx for sharing!
If it's a CVT I would be a little nervous about 75K between fluid change. I change my CVT fluid every 30K-35K. But again, you can't argue with the longevity of 350K miles.
Oh wow awesome dude. I have 2013 accord MT as well 2.4 cyl …have you ever changed your clutch disc inside the tranny? Mine on slave cylinder and master just gave up couple days ago and getting replaced right now at 160K mileage for $800 here central cali
@leetos.4915 I don't have a manual transmission. It's an automatic CVT. I now have 375,000 miles.
Love your videooo👍🏽👍🏽
Appreciate it!
Been seeing a lot of these on the road with the V6 lately. But my brother has a 2014 2.4L/CVT that I’ve been taking care of since new (now at 197,000 miles). I perform all maintenance on the car religiously and it’s holding up perfectly. I did just replace all rotors with fancy slotted/drilled units because the originals warped. & about the only other issue the car had was it needed a brand new cabin A/C fan ($40 for a new one & 10min to replace).
Two things I’m truly impressed of is just how durable and smooth Honda’s CVT is. & the engine doesn’t seem to have carbon build up on the intake valves… shocking because it’s Direct Injected only. Damn thing is still running smooth as the day she was driven off the lot.
This is my favorite generation accord. I thought I would hate the cvt although I do not mind it one but.
@@BCautosolutions this generation, is better the V4 or the V6?
@@metalevolve8424 2.4L 4 cylinder
@@BCautosolutions is the v4 with cvt gonna cost less than the v6 in maintenance
@@kevinpmoney6502 yes
Got a 2017 Accord EX-L 2 years ago with only 15,000 miles on it, and I've been LOOKING for a video like this for forever!
Got it with the dead backup camera like what you mentioned, but cause of parts shortages at the time, I had to wait a whole year to get it replaced. Since put ~5,000 miles on it and wanna keep up with the maintenance as much as possible. This video is really gonna help with that!
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful. Best of luck with it
My intake tube was torn in two different places. Thanks for the pointers 😊
Glad to help
I have a 2013 EX CVT with 98,000 miles that has been trouble free. One common issue is the soft paint that is prone to swirls, chips, and fading. Eight years I coated the vehicle with a consumer grade ceramic coating along with klasse high gloss sealant two times every year. Hand wash using the two bucket method about once a month. The paint on my vehicle still looks great. Much better than the average two to three year old Accord.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I have a '13 Accord EXL with only 39k miles, The issues I've had is the starter failed at 39K miles and drive belt tensioner gone at 24k miles.
Thanks for sharing.
Currently own a 2017 Accord Sport SE with 76,400 something miles, close to 76,500 and no issues. I did get it used at 53k and I’ve been changing the engine oil every 5k. For the CVT, I changed the fluid when it had 60k on it and even though it’s recommended every 30k miles I’m planning to do it when I have 80k miles on the ODO so basically every 20k to be on the safe side. But other than that, it’s been a great car, still on the original brakes and rotors, still has the OEM rims and original LED headlight assembly. I’ve been wanting to upgrade the stereo to a Ex-l or touring touch screen but idk how complicated that is
Have a 15 2.4L getting a very occasional start up rattle. While not happy, glad it's only the tensioner. not VTC. Much simpler as you say. Excellent point. 👍
Yup for sure 💯
My tensioner was wearing out as well, and the mechanic said VTC is something to keep an eye on for later.
@@tyty0071I ordered the tensioner, but at this point it's so occasional, not going to install now. Yeah, VTC a possibility, but I'd have to hear something after tensioner installed before I'd even think about it.
@@tyty0071 vtc should be fine
My 13' has 177k. Great vehicle. Cvt shifts smooth
👏
CVT has no gears lol

Another great video thanks...
I think you should relocate to the UK and moreover west yorkshire UK! 😂
Hahah thank you, I’ll actually be in Europe for 2 weeks in a month from now 🫡
2014 accord LX, We bought it as New. Currently has 86k miles! My mom has been driving it mosr of time. Here is the repair history:
CVT oil leak after 6 month of purchase. Dealer Replaced the CVT
At 25k miles. Another oil leak. Dealer replaced the engine short block.
At 45k, the Battery died😂
At 60k miles, the starter died. And I replaced it with refurbished one. Yes. I did it myself.
I notice it's being burning one qty of oil between 5k miles. No plan for fixing it.
Maintenance:
I do it myself. Oil change every 5k miles. Since new.
CVT drain and refill every 30k miles
Brake fluid. Brake service. Coolant drain. I did them all on time.
You can judge how reliable is Honda.😂 Would you buy my accord after read it repair history?
Thx for those great vidz, as always!! we have a 2017 I-4 2.4 cvt 110k miles on it. We had one issue, we were told it was common at dealership, which is an oil leak from the valve cover gasket, it was replaced at 45k miles under warranty and no leaks since then.
Thanks for watching! Yes we do have valve cover issues pretty often that is true. Glad it’s treating you well overall 👍🏻
@@BCautosolutions oh yeah i got it for my mother in 2017 and she is happy with it till now🙏. Ur vidz are blessings and made me aware of more stuff on my 19 civic, 22 crv and 22 passport. Waiting for more!! And have a wonderful day!!
It also has a common issue with the ABS control program, which costs a lot
Yes it does.
Holding steady at 276k 15” Accord, I changed all those problems BEFORE hand to avoid issues. Runs great, taking it to 500K. Only major job done was PS replaced, all tie rods changed, upper control arm just because, sway bar links whopping $3800 between parts & labor.
New subscriber here. Great information man! Thanks.
Thank you!
Cv axle recall got me bad. Had an axle snap mid way thankfully in a low speed shopping center it rusted completely through. Only thing is I live 4 hours away from the closest honda dealer so got a local mechanic to install an aftermarket one he said hes never seen a failure like that in 44 years of being a mechanic since they pretty much always fail at the joint. Good to know I can still get them both replaced with oem though!
We see them all the time fail like that and not just on these models either. Thanks for sharing
The tensioner and post filter air intake problems happened to me. At least it gave me an opportunity to get a really pretty blue silicone intake from HPS.
There you go!
Hi thank you for very informative videos even though I have 2016 Acura RDX I still enjoy watching them learning thing or two about Honda cars. I would like to ask you to make a video about 16 RDX problem areas especially about engine clocking noises and not smooth transmission shifting. I love working on my car and i do change liquids regularly 3-3.5k and transmission oil change and already had changed ones all original liquids. Thank you very much. Will be waiting.
Thank you Paul! If I get the opertunity to get one in my hands I absolutely will. Appreciate the support!
I have a honda accord 2014 2.4 with 118K miles on it. I am having an issue with FCW failure on my dash with D3. My car is not picking up the speed as well. Upon checking the code from Autozone and another place it came up with U-0402-68, P2101,16-13,83-11 and 61-11. Please advise.
Thanks!!
Thank you for these videos brother. I have a 2015 Accord LX, and I have been on CZcams for two hours trying to diagnose my Honda. It’s start up is a little hesitation. I changed the starter, charged the battery, and my scanner doesn’t show anything. The alternator is within spec. So I’m lost.
Possible ignition switch (electrical portion) worn out, bad grounds, voltage drop out of spec, bad battery terminals, the possibilities are endless but take a look at some of those. Wiggle everything at the battery hard and make sure nothing moves.
Hey man! Thanks for the content and knowledge like always! Gonna attempt brake job all the way around on our 2006 Accord EX Sedan 4 cylinder this weekend. We purchased AKEBONO brake pads and are only changing out due to pads are getting low, not due to symptoms. The discs also still look fine and smooth. Do you think it's necessary to get discs resurfaced or replaced if they appear to be fine? Also, any suggestions on lubing the slide pins or applying lube to the outside of the break pads on the caliper contact side?…this is literally my first time doing this lol, thank you for all the info good sir!
I would personally resurface the rotors but you don’t have to. Slide pins use silicone plaste and for the pads they should some with grease if not use molycote
@@BCautosolutions thanks for this advice! Also, do you suggest easy braking to break in the pads initially for the first X amount of miles? Or what Is a best practice for break in for new pads? Thank you!!
Thanks so much. Great info. Sounds very reliable overall, I was a bit worried about the CVT when they were first put in the accords. What about the direct injection fouling the valves or issues w/ EGR?
Thanks, yeah overall they are probable my favorite gen and most reliable accord. There is carbon building on the intake side of things but no injector or valve failures. There is no egr system on this engine. The egr “effect” is achievable through the use of variable cam timing.
The CVT is actually a strength of the 9th gen. Sensible driving along with changing the CVT fluid every 30K and it will last 300K plus.
@@BCautosolutions -- Massive oIl consumption issues, timing chain and tensioner issues, VTC actuator issues. Some transmission issues too. Shit brakes. Axle issues. And this is the most reliable Accord?
@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow yeah that sounds like someone’s car that’s been neglected. Oil consumption, timing chains stretched and tct failures go hand in hand with shit maintenance.
I have owned a 9th Gen Sport CVT (2.4 liter NA) and really was hesitant about the CVT, but after 7 years with it I really like it.
I have 90k plus currently and I do see oil burn, up to 1/2 quart. I just keep an eye on it and I think I am going to start changing it at 5k miles since it is burning more between changes. It's crazy that 10k was the "minder" setting on these cars. I agree an extra $100 extra a year is way better than a $5k engine repair in the long run.
Overall I really like my 9th gen Sport for it's looks and MPG is pretty dang good when I get on the highway and travel.
Thanks for the tips, always good to hear from someone that sees common issues. Saves us money and keeps us watching.
Yeah I was hesitant on them as well but having owned one for 2 years it was a great car and see plenty of them with 300k+. Honestly it’s my favorite generation accord. 1/2 a quart in between oil changes is relatively minimal oil consumption but still something to monitor. Appreciate the support as always
Good video.. hope mine last 300k🤞🏼
💯
Have you come across any 2016 accord sport with transmission issues due to leaking?
There’s a service bulletin out for it?
Yes and no
Best generation accord
👏
Yesss..body style
I really appreciate this great video. I've also experienced personally (on my 2014 Sport) and seen a lot of cases online of the ABS module failing and causing multiple warning lights (not check engine light). Easy to remove and have it rebuilt. People who are not handy are going to pay through the nose to get that fixed with a new part at the dealer. I've also had premature failure of the starter and timing chain tensioner as you mentioned. Good to know about the intake tube and water pump as I have not had those issues yet. My Accord is a 6 speed manual. Have you seen any issues with those? 213k miles at this point and still original clutch.
Appreciate your input and your right on those abs pumps. My only concern at that mileage would be your clutch.
Have u changed your clutch yet ? If not when do u plan to do so?
@@leetos.4915 nope! Still works fine at 221k. I don’t drive crazy. I hope I can find a shop that can do a good job on it when the time comes.
Just finished mine here at 170K…if you’re not getting any issues with your master or slave cylinder then I can assume ur clutch still good but when u start having issues with ur clutch like spongy feeling on the pedal or shifting problems then it’s time for that clutch to exit…i strongly recommend to ask ur mechanic to keep ur old clutch just to assure for evidence purposes
Thank you for the information, I have a sudden hesitation that feels like the trans is slipping, can it be that rubber air intake hose?
Yes, that would be the absolute first place I would look. Remember to look all around it and try and pry it open to expose the cuts.
Can l use a Bosch starter on my 2015 Honda Accord V6. Evidently there is a big issue with Honda starters with the internal solenoid. Contemplating using a older more reliable Honda starter with the external solenoid or a Bosch starter.
It’s not the starter, have to rotate the tq converter on the flex plate.
Do you know what year and trim was the TSB for the c/v axles? Sorry if you mentioned the number in the video.
13-15 all cvt trans trims.
my 16 coupe makes a squeeky sound on lowish speeds near the driver side wheel, what can it be
i have the 9th gen accord 2.4 with a CVT and has 150k km on it. Love the car , only issue with it is the oil consumption. I love to have fun with the car but as soon as i step too many times hard on the accel, i know i loose oil :(
I refill it up tho and change it every 5k.
other than that its a great daily and never had problemes with it ! :)
Thanks for sharing
We have a 2014 Accord sport we’ve had since brand new and it’s been pretty reliable. It currently has 124k miles on it and get oil changes every 5k miles and have only ever gotten it serviced at the Honda dealer. Our transmission just went out on ours last night and luckily it was by our neighborhood so we just barely made it home but not up the driveway 😂 The car has needed timing belt, the pistons replaced due to our old dealer being sketchy 🤨 and the starter at 50k miles. We are currently not knowing whether to pay the $7k Honda quoted us for a new transmission or trade the car in and get a new car 🙃 we’ve had it for almost ten years now and it’s been paid off for 4 so we are in a pridicament
That’s the name in the game. 7k or payments for the next 5-6 years. As it stands interest rates are pretty high so just weigh all your options and see what’s best for you.
tSorry to hear this..Did you also keep up maintenance on the CVT tranny? And what happen when it failed..jus wouldn't move?
@@edubb2491 yes, they usually stop driving
Saddly , my transmisson also failed at 168K miles. I looked all over for replacement, since no one is fixing them. I would rather stay with conventional. Good luck
No belt its a chain
Great content! Know i know what my rattling sound may be. How long can i go without changing the tensioner before big issues pop up? Also Im not sure about others, but my ABS module went out around or before 150k miles. Not too happy about that one
Depends, I rather not find out. I’d get that taken care of asap.
Just ran into your video, have a 2015 sport with the 2.4 earthdream, noticed you didn't say anything about the GDI fuel system or carbon build up on the intake valves. Just wondering what is your thoughts controlling that, chemical or blasting?
Either will work. Blasting can turn ugly if not done correctly.
I’ve noticed the same thing. I just rolled over 130,000 miles. Car runs amazing, still average 36 mpg. As far as I can tell, no performance drop at all from when I bought it with 30,000 miles. I don’t recommend any spray cleaners. What happens is, carbon (think chunky carbon) can possibly make its way into the rings and cause it to stick. I’ve decided I’m either going to wait until I have an issue. (It either affects the engine or it doesn’t, no in between with dirty valves. Or when I have time, pull the intake off and manually clean just for fun. Do oil changes every 5,000 miles and don short trip the vehicle. Should not have any issues.
@hondamobilemachine
Great video, very informative. I would appreciate some help. I have a rough / low idle with some throttle hesitation situation with my 2013 2.4L sport 4D (more pronounced with cold weather). There are no codes or any misfires and the rough / low idle only happens at stop light with the car in drive. I’ve changed the plugs and the upstream O2. I cleaned the throttle body, maf sensor, and pvc valve. Does this sound like a vacuum leak? Could it be a bad coil? I would appreciate your feedback.
Did you relearn the throttle body position after cleaning it? Usually a vacuum leak would cause a high idle.
I first drove the car for about 600 miles hoping the throttle would relearn. The car drove awful but got better by the end of the road trip. After that, I used a vice grip and clamped both the positive and negative battery cable together for 10 min with all accessories off. Then I reconnected and let the engine idle util the fan cycled twice. Read online that that would reset the TP?? FYI I did a valve cleaning and through codes because I did it through the intake after the maf sensor (I used the brake vacuum after I through those codes which cleared soon after). Do you think the throttle body is bad? Thank you for your time.
@@NJrulz22 anything is possible, how low is the idle?
It Idles at 750 when the engine gets rough. The engine use to idle around 800ish. Also, if I add any load (headlights, ac, defrost) the idle goes back to normal or around 800.@@BCautosolutions
@@NJrulz22 yeah I would try a throttle position relearn.
My wife has a 2014 2.4 earthdreams LX with 198,000 miles on it. She got it it in 2018 and I’ve made sure the oil changes were either being done at a shop or by myself regularly within the 3-5k mile window. It recently just started to show a cylinder 3 misfire and it’s stayed on even after replacing all the spark plugs, coil packs, and cylinder 2 and 3 injectors. The traction control light and power steering light just recently came on as well but no ABS light and we just had the VSA module replaced a few months ago at the dealership. Any idea what could still be causing the misfire? It idles rough and goes into limp mode so theres definitely a misfire of some type. I’ve also checked compression and got 180PSI in all cylinders.
My first suspicion would be valve clearances are out of whack. I would probably look there next. I would be able to tell by looking at map value data list fully warmed up and no loads. Map should read under .90v and steady. If it’s not, chances are your valves are too tight. It’s also good common practice to relearn crank pattern after repairing a misfire as ecus sometimes can learn bad habits. Good luck.
I've been thinking about buying a Honda Accord. What year would be considered the most reliable? I do like the newer models, because of the upgraded features they offer, but I don't want to compromise when it comes to a vehicle that will last. Thanks for posting these helpful video's.👍
This generation is one of the best and most reliable. 13-17 would be my pick.
Stay away from the 1.5T engines on the newer models. They are absolute garbage and constantly problems.
@@Grizzleback07 💯
2014 Honda sport shakes after I shift to drive and is coasting with no gas. Service engine light has never come on. Any ideas?
Mounts are worn and/or throttle body cleaning would be might first to things to check and do.
Great video, thanks. I have a 2016 Accord EX. I have what seems to be an unusual problem. When I get in my car, my driver seat reclines all the way back to a horizontal position. I have to adjust it back up. My settings are set for upright, but it seems to always fall back. Any ideas?
I’ve had that issue believe it or not, can’t recall what I did to fix it. Might want to start with the memory seat unit.
Yes, it seems to be a problem with the memory module. Not sure how to reset it, but look into that. Or try resetting the seat positions and see if that helps in regard.
@@mikem7333 resetting seat position didn't work. but will look into memory module. thanks
I have a 2016 Sport (115K), and recently I have trouble (vibration and feeling everything on the hwy), I replaced the wheel hubs with bearings, new swaybar links, i hear some clunking at lower speeds, and I've seen some cracks on the control arm bushings with a small play. Not sure if that's the cause, but I'm planning on changing the LCA with OEM, my struts are OEM changed about 2 yrs ago. Tires are new. What else can i check. I'm planning on changing the engine cover gasket and the spark plugs (still original). I don't have any play in the steering while driving at hwy, but definetely some vibs on the steering wheel and under the floorboard. Could it be the bushings from the LCA? What do you think? Thanks.
Vibrations are usually from axles and/or tires/wheels. That’s where I’d look.
I love Honda. What products.
Hey a K24W! This one’s a beauty the mileage but it’s missing the fuel pump cover 😮. It must be a bit chatty.
I had the same issues as described in the video. My water pump seized at 74K on the highway and the tensioner went at 87K. I know frequent oil changes can help out the tensioner but what’s the best way to extend the life of the water pump? If you get one with the chirping pump, let us know.
K24w has shown to be relatively reliable this far. Seized water pumps are really just a hit or miss tbh, there’s not much you can do. Definitely had coolant service every 45-60k.
I have seen high pressure fuel pumps goes out on 2014s, when the high pressure fuel pump goes out the check engine light will come on for low fuel pressure.
Yes I’ve had a few good call 👍🏻
I have a 17 Accord Hybrid 85k miles with the newer 2 motor system. I have a driveline shudder around 45 and 52 mph, whenever the power train is trying to switch over from charging to full EV mode.
Do you see a lot of these hybrids coming in with the issue? My car was running perfect til one day it started doing it and hasn’t really gone away. I’m running stock tire size, all fluid levels good and was serviced about a month prior. Only thing I haven’t checked was 12V battery. Dealer tech looked at it and found nothing wrong with the car other than the tires being a little old. I put brand new ones on and the issue never went away.
I love the car but the shudder really gets on my nerves as I’m jerked around in the seat lol
Haven’t ran across this issue yet. When you say serviced, what exactly? My first thought would be trans fluid quality….
If you ever can and have time can you do a vid on the 8th gen. 170 and 190 hp.
Will do ✅
Hello, my 2014 runs real good. 109 000 miles. Engine light stays on after cap and another part was considered after a gadget was put on to fi nd out what needed replacing.
Let me know once you find out
is it the cam chain or timing chain ?
What is your idea on cvt transmission fluid change honda accord sport 2013? Can we use the synthetic valvoline cvt fluid? Or does it need to be the oem honda cvt.
Use oem Honda
Thanks!
I had to get my 2016 accord throttle body and accelerator pedal replaced because car entered limp mode with all the check engine lights. Do you think it was a rip off?
No, we do see tb failure from time to time, not super common but does happen.
Do you know of any issues in a 2016 Honda Accord Sport that causes the A/C not to turn on at times or to have a low output of air even though it's on high? Let me clarify about the A/C not turning on. The power is on but no air is blowing. After about 5-10 minutes (it can sometimes be less or more) while driving, the air/blower will finally start blowing air through the vents. I'm thinking it could be the blower motor relay, the blower motor resistor, or the blower motor itself. Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes most likely something with the blower and or the resistor from what you’re describing.
@@BCautosolutions Thank you for responding!
I have a 2013 EX L with 94,286 miles and my lane deviation light and Forward collision light are on and it says failure on the dash and I can’t reset it. Is there a way to fix this issue other than going to the dealership and paying 185.00 fee just to hook the computer up?
You can pay or you can guess. Unfortunately paying is the cheaper option here lol
Invisible link to the V6! Haha
Fixed, sorry about that. Direct link here: czcams.com/video/UfAshO1XZsQ/video.html
2018-2022 next please🙏
Already done ✅ czcams.com/video/hwtjwIjs0w0/video.html
Just changed timing chain and belt tensioner and the rattle is still there any suggestions on what else to try it also threw up a p2649 code
Could be a serpentine belt tensioner
Starter?
Add more oil see if it helps
I have a 2015 Sport MT with 90K miles. I was getting the rattle on cold starts and also noticed a “ticking” noise coming from the left side while driving. Recently change the TC tensioner and fixed the cold start rattle, but the ticking sound is still there. Strangely, the sound doesn’t occur until I’m at 2000-2100 rpm and immediately stops when I down shift. Any ideas? Maybe the valves need to be adjusted?
Could be some valves, very possible.
@@BCautosolutions yeah, hopefully that’s it.
Do you know about a issue with the 9th gen accord having engine vibrations while in “D” during a stop. For example being stopped at a red light in gear and the rpm’s drop causing a vibration felt.
Interesting! I didn’t know this happened to the Accords also. I have the same thing with my CR-V and this was the response from Honda: czcams.com/video/vEJ45wX9ycI/video.html (essentially it’s a feature of the car).
It’s annoying and I’ve read it has to do with the idle at around 625-650 rpm once the engine is at operating temperature. The vibration is caused from what I believe are the motor mounts and direct injection.
Owners can flick on the lights, turn on the ac/heat or move the steering wheel. I generally just turn up the AC to get some drag on the engine which helps. People also idle in neutral but that’s not a good idea.
I would have your throttle body cleaned and have the values relearned. 👍🏻
@@k24wkevin this actually turned out to be a service bulletin which we replaced:
Radiator stays
Head rests
Trans mount
Pcm update
That’s was everything if I recall correctly (it’s been a while lol) but yes adding a load to change the idle rpm target helps. ✅
@@BCautosolutions ah that’s right. Mine is a 2016 so it has these changes from the factory.
@@k24wkevin yes ✅
2015 LX
Flex pipe at around 100k
Cold start rattle first noticed at around 75k
VC gasket at 150k
Should the cvt filter and pickup be changed? I've just been changing the fluid.
Yes, I would get the filters changed
Appreciate your video and discovering your channel, new subscriber here!👍🏼
Question:
I bought my 2013 Accord Sport when it had 33k on it.
It now has 68k of easy 35k/ 95% highway miles.
The oil has always had a slight gasoline smell to it that has concerned me. The dealer says they couldn’t detect the smell it but it’s there. What could this possibly be or is this normal for this engine?
Thank you, so oil dilution is a thing and can be expected on direct injection engines, changimg the oil more frequently should help the situation.
@@BCautosolutions I figured that might be the case. Thanks so much for confirming this!👍🏼👍🏼
2014 2.4 CVT Speedo stopped working change the VSS on the side of the trans any other ideas
Could be the Speedo itself. Any codes?
We’ve had Honda deny warranty claims from aftermarket axles. Our dealer says that if they have aftermarket, the extension doesn’t apply.
We replace them anyways, our parts department doesn’t even call for them back any more since they have so many lol.
@@BCautosolutions we’ve had to send half of ours back. I wonder if it has to do with my area. It’s fairly common to see these break, so I wonder if Honda wants to inspect ones that are on the edge of breaking
@@jasonlecreux1175 it’s very possible. We literally do them everyday and toss old ones. Crazy how much it varies, has to be area based.
@@BCautosolutionshi..what kind of noise..or felling does those axels make? Thank you
@@edubb2491 clicking while turning or vibrations on accelerating
One question, how often have you've seen L15's blowing? And by blowing i don't mean head gaskets i mean literal hole in the block.
Personally haven’t seen any
Have anybody had battery drain issues on the Honda accord sport models?
Could be many different things unfortunately and could be even more frustrating to pinpoint.
I have 16 accord sport with 103k on the clock. I bought it new. I did buy 8 year warrantee basically covered bumber to bumber till 2026 or 150k miles. I already changed one headlight because of dead led strip. I had some engine oil consumption at 80k I’ve always changed oil at 15%. Honda rebuild the engine under warrantee. Basically new pistons ring valve cover. I’ve been experiencing occasional delayed starting. This is issue happens randomly. Sometimes it starts right the way especially on cold start start but on occasion it slow at stating. I’m hearing fuel pumps and starters are an issue on these models?
Starters yes, high pressure pumps could also be an issue.
@@BCautosolutionsanother new issue that I just learned about is paint failing prematurely. Paints chipping where rear class and roof connect also for me in the trunk well and inside where the fender bolts in show pain peeling down to the primer…
I have a 2013 Honda Accord As I move forward. I get a slight.
Humming Noise Just when I'm moving forward. Quiet when it's in park. What do you think is the problemtransmission shifting properly? I get it changed every 30000.
Hard to say to be honest. When you speed up does it go away or continue/get worse?
@@BCautosolutions Still stays at the low low Hum noise, I guess.
@@anthonysuhadolnik948 tough to say. If your concerned I would get it professionally looked at.
I have a '15 Accord Sport. Only issue I've had is the starter failed at 48K miles which was disappointing. Other than that it's been a great car. What is your opinion on changing the CVT fluid at around 30-35K miles? I've been doing that as a precaution because it seems CVT's don't have the best reputation. Keep up the great videos!
Yeah they are generally great cars and my favorite accord. 30-35k trans service intervals are more then welcomed by me 💪🏼
My 2013 starter failed about that mileage too. A friend of mine had the same problem. Otherwise, it is going strong at 110k.
Mine 90k then 136k
My starter failed around 45k miles as well.
I changed the CVT around 25k miles and it looks brand new! very clean oil. Then I change it after another 40k miles, it has some darkness. It concerns me. So, I'd say please change it within the Honda recommendations. They're not joking about it.
Completely unrelated to this video; have you seen a fix for the 11th gen Civic Hatchback - rain water entering the cabin via the hatch? Thanks!!!
I have not, I’ll try and dig up some info
@@BCautosolutions TY!!!
2015 Tlx with 220k just started having tensioner rattle in the morning
Thanks for sharing. Very common
I have a 17 sport, I feel like at an ideal the car shakes too much. It doesn’t hesitate when accelerating or anything like that I just feel while sitting at a stoplight it shakes too much and when the AC kicks on it bogs down. I have did the carbon cleaner in the throttle body, mass air flow, air filter. Any suggests ? I did see with the electronic throttle body a lot of people say the problem comes from there to replace that but I have not yet.
Could be mounts starting to get worn. When you did throttle body clean did you relearn the throttle plate position?
@Hondamobilemechanic I had the mounts replaced in the past. When I did the throttle body I just cleaned it. I didn't unplug any electrical. When I cleaned it the first time it seemed to fix the issue but slowly the problem came back. I cleaned it again but didn't fix the issue.
@@matthewliberatore3832 oem or aftermarket mounts?
@Hondamobilemechanic OEM replaced at the dealership. I'm thinking of doing the throttle body and se what happens. My main concern is when the AC kicks on it shakes more and drops the RPM. It immediately corrects itself but it's just annoying.
@@matthewliberatore3832 that’s pretty typical, the older the car gets sometimes could be a tad worse and take longer to correct
My 2014 Accord has been great until it hit 200k miles because the CVT transmission just went out at a stoplight. The transmission fluid was serviced every 30k yet it still broke
Sorry to hear that.
I have a 2013 Honda Accord EXL coupe and the power steering just went out at 130,000 I’ve been driving it around to work and back until I find a spot that can fix it
Im having hesitation issues on mine. Also having check egine light go on & off & code im getting is P0420 any suggestions on how i can get this fixed?
You need a cat and probably have a torn intake boot
Cat is fine just change 02 sensor on bottom of car it’ll fix it . Down stream 02 sensor 👍
@@justincallin9572 it’s most likely the cat, we do these weekly and a secondary o2 is not the issue here.

Which models and what years are the best....with the least problems?🤔
13-17 Accord

Does anyone find themselves changing the battery every 2 years?
How many miles are you driving a year?
It's a 13 with 115,000
Changed over to a 3.5 V6 battery (Walmart) and placed it on my 2017 Sport 4cyl.
Also changed battery tray (Amazon) for V6. No more weak Battery.
Is your car left outside most (if not all) of the time?
@@absalomstar7085 all the time.
350k! If it blows inflames tomorrow, that car owes you nothing! 😂😂😂 I need a beater, I'm currently driving a 2023 Pilot with all the options but I want to keep that just for family related trips and I'm looking to one of these t go A to B to work I work mostly from Home but once or twice a week I need to travel 40 miles in both directions. And occasionally every maybe 3 months I need to travel out of the state.. Nothing to crazy either.
Facts, best of luck with the beater, what are you thinking?
What are the hours or average cost of a timing chain tensioner? It seems like all these cars have that startup rattle.
About 3 hours labor

Wanted to ask how can often does the oil drain
Oil change very 3-5k
@@BCautosolutions I apologize I put my question all stupid, is there a way to tell within a hour or so time on how much oil I’ve lost?
I have 2017 Accord EXL, only 60,000 miles, recently did an oil change and was told the car has this issue VLV VLV COVER GSKT SET
CAUSE: leaking heavily
cost to fix $373

Sounds about right
Valve cover gasket leaks are very common. The gasket kit only costs $50, it isn't too difficult to do urself
@@calviny9384 good point
$30 oem
Do it urself
Any fuel pump issues common? I have a random long crank. 5 ish seconds. Stumbles and dies. Then next start is perfect
I’ve had a few high pressure pumps fail, that would be my initial suspicious
Aren't three 2 fuel pumps on these. Which is the high pressure? In tank or mechanical at the motor?
The high pressure fuel pump is located on the right side of the engine, underneath the plastic cover.
2014 Accord just stops moving when backing it into a parking space. No matter what gear I put it in it does not move. The engine starts and is running fine. What are your thoughts? The car has about 160k miles.
Sounds like something is wrong with the trans
Have you ever changed the transmission fluid
Maybe an axle snapped. Usually you hear clinking but it’s a possibility
Turns out. the transmission is bad and needs to be replaced. Since its CVT transmission it cannot be rebuilt. Cost is anywhere from $5k-$6k. I'm considering buying on and have a mechanic install it to save some money.
@@nevisboy32073 I would definitely consider a used one 👍🏻
2014 2.4 with 200k miles. Car looks new and runs smooth. Owner says highway miles. He has records for oil changes and tune up. No timing belt ever done or tranny flush. They are asking 8k. Too much?
I’m todays market probably a fair price. Also no timing belt on the 2.4
There are no issues with my 17' accord sport. It drives great, I've changed everything this year, and had a cold air intake installed. I did not want to buy a newer model 4 years ago because i didn't want to deal with turbo issues
You made the right choice 💯
@@BCautosolutions thank you! Make a video driving the accord
Do you work at a dealership and do your own work on the side?
Yes
I see at my dealer a fair amount of ABS modules going bad due to bad brake fluid
We do see some for sure. More often then any other generation accord that’s for sure. Solid point ✅
@@BCautosolutions my 2015 EX-L has had the vsa modulator failure since 2021, code 66-13. 2 questions for you: 1) Why is the replacement part so expensive? The listing price is around $1300 2) Why is the part so hard to source? The few dealership I called said its been on backorder for a long time.
@@cedar23CA it’s a complicated part with a built in ecu and it’s hard to source because it’s having a high fail rate.
