Description of the problem | Starter grinding noise! Asked honda dealer about the grinding noise? They could not get the starter to make the noise(38,139 miles((5/2017)). Speed ahead 1 1/2 years. I put 2 starters and a new battery(2/19). Still having grinding issues(51,326 miles). Called american honda corp. To see about any recalls. They wanted a honda dealer to diagnose complaint. Just got back from dealer(2-16-2019). The honda dealer told me about a service bulletin: starter grinding or spins at startup. (2013-2016 accord v6 a/t only & 2013-2015 crosstour v6 a/t only). Corrective action: replace starter (pt# 31200-5g0-a04) and rotate the torque converter clockwise 1 bolt hole). The honda dealer said it would cost roughly $600 plus dollars to remedy the problem. If this is such an issue on these specific vehicles, then why is there not a recall!!! |
