Same. I’m a dealer tech and cannot believe what people pay to get their car serviced. The sad part is the techs make like 10-15 percent of the labor cost. But if your going to do it yourself or bring it to an independent shop use that money your saving on labor to use factory parts. So many times customers use bad parts and end up coming to the dealer for us to fix it
I had the 2006 Accord bought new with the 2.4 I4 engine. That car gave me 360,000 hard miles. I would saying probably the best car I’ve ever owned from new.
JR, your Aunt is very lucky to have you as a nephew (and I'm SURE you are her FAVORITE nephew now if you weren't before!). If she hasn't left for home yet, I'd suggest doing her a huge favor and changing the CVT fluid. You'd be doing her a real solid and it would be interesting to see how much grit and particles are in the fluid after 69,000 miles on a Honda. Nice work!
My daily driver is a 2014 Accord and I love it. It gets me around town comfortably and if I don't drive it like you were on the test drive it gets 27 mpg. On road trips it's in the upper 30's. Since gas is going up 10-20 cents a gallon every day now that matters more and more
Same here I just traded in my 2000 accord for a 2014 about a month ago and I couldn't be happier with it, it's a great car even with me driving aggressively like I do I still get 27mpg and that's in sport with no eco mode
I love the 4 cylinder accords. So much room to work on compared to the same car with the v6 engine. The internet thinks that repair job costs around $200 for parts and $400 for labor, that must be a 2 hour job.
@@brysonshires9742 lies. i wouldn't own a v6 honda because every oil leak repair is a wild goose chase of shit to take off. don't get me started on the alternator.
We have a 2012 Honda Accord EX-L with the 190hp 4 cylinder, just over 74000 miles and it's a fantastic car! It's got great power, great fuel mileage and it's very comfortable on road trips. Fabulous Honda quality and it's a joy to service, take care of it and it's will take care of you for years!
I think it was a bad mistake for Honda to stop putting these in their Accords and going with the 1.5/2.0 turbo crap. These were what you stated, decent horsepower with decent mpg. After this video with the bad water pump, changing my mind about Honda reliability though.
@@captinbeyond The older Honda's had 7yr/100,000 mile interval for timing belt/water pump service. The newer ones not having a timing belt means they can fail without destroying the engine.
@@midwestfarm757 This one did not fail because of the timing belt. It just failed. And with only 62k miles and well taken care of. The timing belt/water pump is not scheduled to be replaced until around 40k more miles than this car had.
Well it’s 8 years old and it’s a pretty simple repair. I had a 2015 Hyundai Sonata that started burning oil like no tomorrow at 40k miles, and then transmission went out at about 70k miles.
They look nice, but people I think are under the impression that the newer kia / hyundais are as reliable and well built as Honda / Toyota and it's probably not true. The warranty is good though.
my 2007 Elantra has been rock solid and I got it in 2008 with around 25K miles. It was a rental car first. 122,500 miles and has never left me stranded and only valve cover gasket and coil pack have been none consumables replaced since I got it in 2008. It has never dripped a drop of oil nor burned any. Timing belt was replaced with all OEM parts at 101K miles and Trans has been flushed by me twice using OEM trans fluid. The paint is even still great except the tops of the plastic bumpers, the clear coat has worn off. It seems newer than around 2010 has been full of problems. Things got too computer controlled and they started using direct injection and smaller engines. My 2.0L is only 137HP but it handles like a go cart and has enough power for fun driving. My car also only weights 2850 pounds compared to the newer ones being over 3000. It has power everything and a power sunroof, and every thing still works perfectly. I get 30mpg in town and 35/36 on the highway. Can easily seat 4 and has a big trunk.
@@batsonelectronics I had a 2003 Hyundai Elantra as my work commute car... It was also my first brand-new car purchase (was $14K) It got me through 10 years and 150K miles with no major issues. the 10 year 100k mile warranty was hard to beat.
Huh. Honda service advisor here- I’ve only seen one water pump fail on one of these engines. Very, very rare. I’ve seen tensioners fail but the worst that happens is no alternator and such, not an awful repair cost-wise. Very strange to see a water pump failure.
Honda tech here. Totally agree. Never actually seen a water pump fail in this way. Rarely do I even see them leak/weep. Mostly see with these engines is oil pressure sending units and VTC actuators. Oil consumption is also sorta common.

I made a trip last fall of 525 miles on one tank of gas. No TPM. No DRL. No LED headlights. Cloth interior that still looks new. Just one small spot of rust behind the RR wheel. I love that car!

Enjoyed the video. I own a 2009 Toyota Avensis Tourer (estate/ wagon),with the 1.8 Valvematic engine - 2KR-FAE. Changing the waterpump on that engine is really easy. Manual belt tension, no extra pulley and access good. The only thing removed apart the waterpump and belt was the engine cover. A lot of other engines especially with timing belts are more time and expense.
I actually got a buddy who is a Honda Tech, he said Water Pump failure on these is strangley common. Thats why when a customer hits 120K and gets the coolant flushed and drive belt and plugs done, he REALLY push's the customer to get a new pump while he's in there. My dad had an 09 with the same motor, he was asleep on a road trip and the pump shit the bed. internally, still spun but wouldnt move any coolant. My step mom drove it with the temp pegged for 20 minutes until it died, Ended up needing a brand new head it was warped so bad

@@jjjacer you would do well too get a drain and refill on that CVT. It's a decent transmission believe it or not but it needs clean fluid every 50 to 60 k
I've done quite few of those. Did one with 13k miles making noise. They suffer from early starter failure also. Head gaskets are very weak on that year. Problem with the CVT valve body. Lower transmissions pressure sensor B came undone and people need driving on low oil and burn the clutches, man I'm so Glad I got out of Honda after 10 years dealing with lost of recalls and warranty jobs.
@@midwestfarm757 last engine I did was on a 2012 Odyssey, engine burning oil, did the piston ring recall, after all done engine still making noise. Between Management and Honda tech like make me disassemble the engine and found what was the cause. That was it. I put my 2 weeks after that BS got tires of their games and stupidity.
I have a love/hate relationship with my 2011, 4 Cyl accord. Great drivetrain, but man do I wish I looked harder at the paint when buying a few years back. It’s peeling off and looks like crap (common with the white Hondas from this generation). But as long as it gets me through college with no major issues, which I believe it will, I’ll be happy!
If you think the cvt accord is quick, you should try one with the 6 speed manual... they can do 60 in 6.7 seconds! Really fast for a family cheep sedan. they have 184 hp for the lx and 189 for the sport (dual exhaust)
@@tbskirk the bearing on the pump just goes bad causing them to seize. Honda had a Technical service bulletin to replace them. It doesn’t happen on all of them. Seemed to affect more CRVs with the 2.4
While I think I would also like the fake shifts in a CVT, I would 100% prefer to have it work as efficiently as possible, because I believe that it would also help it to last longer. Smoothly changing ratios, instead of having to do fake jumps. I could be wrong, but hopefully not. At the least, it'd be the best for MPG.
That engine should have been rated at 189 hp from the factory. My 2013 has 160k miles and has about $2700 in maintenance and service since I bought it new. The engine transmission is a sprightly pair.
I can see that the original 51R battery has been changed out with a 24F. Please consider putting in an LS. My wife has this same car. Would like to see how it's done.
What happens with the 8mm torx bolt on Accords and Civics is they break in the block making it a nightmare job. Your Auntie was lucky because it's only a 2014 and not decrepit 2006.👍
I test drove a newer Accord with CVT transmission and didn't like it. The next week I test drove the 2005 Accord Coupe and loved it. The 5 speed automatic was great, plus the car didn't have all the newer electronic BS, so less to go wrong with all that extra junk in the car. So bought that instead and have had no complaints. Passed emissions, but on the scanner it had all these X's with N/A next to them. Meaning all that extra emission junk is on the newer Accords and not on the 2005. The guy with the scanner said all of those can turn on the check engine light in the newer cars, but not this one. Also realize most people have no clue on things like that buying a car these days.
@@DJMotoVlogs this sensor as its name suggests monitors how much air flows into the engine. If it gets dirty, it will sense less air than there really is. and that will make the ECU computer crazy with restricting fuel
@@DJMotoVlogs so your car gets difficult to warm up at startup. I tried cleaning it on my 2017 CRV and the car warmed up like before. My 2017 accord probably has some other stuff not working properly that has made it hard to warm up without intentionally giving it throttle. I replaced fuel pump filter and air fuel ratio sensor and spark plugs. No big improvement. I think probably the culprit is fuel injector stuck open.
Her vtec kicked in kind of late but they are good solid cars💪 my 2013 2.4 has 117k on it and still strong with all stock parts still working, just basic maintenance and a valve adjustment done ✔️
2014, assuming that's the original drive belt/accessory belt, it was a bit overdue due to its age. If I recall, Honda's recommended interval is generally 90-100K miles, or 7 years. Unless noticed that belt is stretched.
Ive never seen a car act like that with the cvt and that was really interesting hearing it screaming the entire time but shooting like a rocket! Still hate cvts but definitely a cool tech
Hey watch JRGo I had to watch this video on my phone in portrait mode I tried to watch it on my TV but for some reason your video played very close up so I couldn't see what you were doing until I watch the video on my phone just wanted to make you aware of the issue have a good night
I have Honda CRV with the same motor and you have to remove the upper motor mount to remove the belt tensioner. Not much fun and a real pain, but it's a really good car, just some repairs can be a little difficult.
Hondas don't break? I distinctly remember two separate videos of yours that had Hondas burning or steaming on the side of the road while you watched. One was in Las Vegas, if I remember correctly. I owned a Honda once - and yes, they do break.
They seem to only last 60-120k miles. I’ve replaced 5 on my personal cars and replacing another tomorrow. Better to catch them before they leave you stranded or overheat your engine I figure so I replaced them on the first sign of a problem.
Quality on these newer Hondas isn't what it used to be. I have a 19 CTR and my roommate has the exact same Accord, both with issues. My parents have mid 00 era Hondas and they've never been broken ever. The Accord's had a wheel bearing, TB issues, paint issues, and I just replaced the starter. That CVT though seems pretty robust. I did the fluid/filter change for the first time at 94k, and it looked new. Not like the Nissan CVTs.
Sorry to hear that. My wife and I were looking at Civics last year, both old and new. We decided on an 06 since we got a good deal and figured it would last another 10 years if we maintained it well. I heard the 18-19s had oil dilution issues. Happy with our little old Civic
start taking parts off, good luck and God speed how about the timing belt while you're at it. if it has one, or the thin chains that stretches if it has one of those
You should look into getting a Rally Fighter. I think you'd keep it forever. I'd love to watch you do a detailed video on one. It's put together with all mismatched parts. Like the best of all car manufacturers put into 1 vehicle. Baja racer yet a daily driver.
JR can you please make a video or playlist on what tools you use. Specifically power tools please I’m looking to buy some but there are so many and I know you have only the best
Seems unusual for that type of problem on a low mileage 2014 car of any kind unless it was wrecked/salvaged at some point, but I always say cars are "machines" and none are immune to problems whether they're Japanese, American, German, or Alien.
@@artistwithouttalent A modern car with 100k miles wouldn't surprise me at all needing a transmission unfortunately. All of this new mechanical complexity is just writing on the wall.
I have that same car but its a 2013. Its even gold just like your aunts, but mine is a sport. My car was the last car my late father bought so I have kept it for a winter car. Its 185 HP and great for the winter. Mine only has like 30K on it as its only used a few months a year
My 2015 Accord 4cyl was my dad's too... he's still around (sorry for your loss), he just decided to replace it last year so I bought it from him... 87k to date and haven't had a water pump failure yet but do have a couple squeaks/rattles and have had to have 1 front hub bearing replaced due to noise, and a check engine light twice which was an O2 sensor and some kind of gas tank sensor that was fairly expensive. Still like the car but kind of thought having a newer Honda would give me problem-free ownership for a little longer. Will probably trade for a new Toyota this year or maybe a Ford Maverick if I can find one.

I have a love/hate relationship with my 2011, 4 Cyl accord. Great drivetrain, but man do I wish I looked harder at the paint when buying a few years back. It’s peeling off and looks like crap (common with the white Hondas from this generation). But as long as it gets me through college with no major issues, which I believe it will, I’ll be happy!
My 2013 exl v6 has the same issue. Paint is pealing 😞 😭
@@jms08905 I feel your pain🥲 it really sucks that Honda did a cheap paint job for a few years.
I bought my 2012 Accord crashed from copart. Its really peeling where I used spray paint. Factory paint is still holding up though.
If you think the cvt accord is quick, you should try one with the 6 speed manual... they can do 60 in 6.7 seconds! Really fast for a family cheep sedan. they have 184 hp for the lx and 189 for the sport (dual exhaust)
I love how even with a cvt you can still tell when v-tech kicks in lmaoo
Everyone needs a friend and relative like John Ross.
When I worked for Honda we did these all the time. Pump would seize on cars with 20,000 miles.
Why did they fail so prematurely?
@@tbskirk the bearing on the pump just goes bad causing them to seize. Honda had a Technical service bulletin to replace them. It doesn’t happen on all of them. Seemed to affect more CRVs with the 2.4
While I think I would also like the fake shifts in a CVT, I would 100% prefer to have it work as efficiently as possible, because I believe that it would also help it to last longer. Smoothly changing ratios, instead of having to do fake jumps.
I could be wrong, but hopefully not. At the least, it'd be the best for MPG.
If they haven't done the CVT fluid service it's due at 50k miles. HCF-2 fluid. 3.6 quarts. Super simple service.
It is super simple. I still was anxious the entire time lol
That engine should have been rated at 189 hp from the factory. My 2013 has 160k miles and has about $2700 in maintenance and service since I bought it new. The engine transmission is a sprightly pair.
Normally I'm against aftermarket water pumps but the factory pump was pretty craptastic in this case
JR, run the VIN to see if it needs air bag inflator recall needs to be done.
I want to hear that boat on the water so bad. The exhaust on that motor will blow your mind.
Nice having a mechanic nephew
" They put this condenser line just right where you want it " lol
my 2014 accord 2.4 with about 127k miles had a high pitched whine. after being misdiagnosed a few times, the culprit was found to be the water pump
LoL my ecotec L61 manual lasted to over 100k miles and only 2 ribs left before I put a brand new oem belt on. LoL
It's usually the Civics that break down. Accords are usually rock solid. They just throw Civics together. Surprised the Accord failed.
I can see that the original 51R battery has been changed out with a 24F. Please consider putting in an LS. My wife has this same car. Would like to see how it's done.
24f is the original battery in the V6 model and in a touring
@@jaynearman256 That's why it's so easy to change out the 51R with the cheaper better 24F battery
This video feels like classic WatchJRGo! Awesome video, thanks man! 🍻
That’s funny about the LS engine - lots of recent videos on different channels have popped up recently about failures 😂
What happens with the 8mm torx bolt on Accords and Civics is they break in the block making it a nightmare job. Your Auntie was lucky because it's only a 2014 and not decrepit 2006.👍
I test drove a newer Accord with CVT transmission and didn't like it. The next week I test drove the 2005 Accord Coupe and loved it. The 5 speed automatic was great, plus the car didn't have all the newer electronic BS, so less to go wrong with all that extra junk in the car. So bought that instead and have had no complaints. Passed emissions, but on the scanner it had all these X's with N/A next to them. Meaning all that extra emission junk is on the newer Accords and not on the 2005. The guy with the scanner said all of those can turn on the check engine light in the newer cars, but not this one. Also realize most people have no clue on things like that buying a car these days.
I'm surprised to hear it warms up fast, I have a 2013 with the 4cyl and it takes forever to warm up.
my 2017 also takes a long long long time to warm up. You should try cleaning the MAF mass airflow sensor with cleaners.
@@zkmoonea did that work?
@@DJMotoVlogs this sensor as its name suggests monitors how much air flows into the engine. If it gets dirty, it will sense less air than there really is. and that will make the ECU computer crazy with restricting fuel
@@DJMotoVlogs so your car gets difficult to warm up at startup. I tried cleaning it on my 2017 CRV and the car warmed up like before. My 2017 accord probably has some other stuff not working properly that has made it hard to warm up without intentionally giving it throttle. I replaced fuel pump filter and air fuel ratio sensor and spark plugs. No big improvement. I think probably the culprit is fuel injector stuck open.
When a bell rings a Honda angel gets its wings!!!!
At least it isn't a timing belt driven water pump like the V6, I've heard of them failing and the timing belt snaps then it's engine time.
On many European cars the water pump is internal and driven by the timing belt. Quite common.
Her vtec kicked in kind of late but they are good solid cars💪 my 2013 2.4 has 117k on it and still strong with all stock parts still working, just basic maintenance and a valve adjustment done ✔️
2014, assuming that's the original drive belt/accessory belt, it was a bit overdue due to its age. If I recall, Honda's recommended interval is generally 90-100K miles, or 7 years. Unless noticed that belt is stretched.
But that is odd to see the water pump pulley seize up like that, first I have seen to be honest.
@Jonathan A Yeah, just odd to see that happen especially that new and with those miles. I guess there are some that fail prematurely.
Ive never seen a car act like that with the cvt and that was really interesting hearing it screaming the entire time but shooting like a rocket! Still hate cvts but definitely a cool tech
I was like OMG, then CVT... lol
Yeah that tach just sitting on the limiter is always unsettling until you realize what transmission it is 😂
Same here: water pump, accessories belt, thermostat, abs module, starter…
And you scared the crap out of me when you said family emergency, I thought you meant someone was sick
Hey watch JRGo I had to watch this video on my phone in portrait mode I tried to watch it on my TV but for some reason your video played very close up so I couldn't see what you were doing until I watch the video on my phone just wanted to make you aware of the issue have a good night
You're a good nephew JR! 1 day repair!!
"Would hold an LS which would solve the problem" I support this message
I have 16CRV and 17Accord; same engines in both: zero problems to this day, at 92K and 55K miles
I have Honda CRV with the same motor and you have to remove the upper motor mount to remove the belt tensioner. Not much fun and a real pain, but it's a really good car, just some repairs can be a little difficult.
Hondas don't break? I distinctly remember two separate videos of yours that had Hondas burning or steaming on the side of the road while you watched. One was in Las Vegas, if I remember correctly. I owned a Honda once - and yes, they do break.
Is it just me or do most major issues involve the water pump? 😂
They seem to only last 60-120k miles. I’ve replaced 5 on my personal cars and replacing another tomorrow. Better to catch them before they leave you stranded or overheat your engine I figure so I replaced them on the first sign of a problem.
My Mom's Husband owns a 2014 Accord V6 touring with 58k miles and the starter failed. Common problem. Expensive as hell from Honda
Very good.family comes through
Quality on these newer Hondas isn't what it used to be. I have a 19 CTR and my roommate has the exact same Accord, both with issues. My parents have mid 00 era Hondas and they've never been broken ever. The Accord's had a wheel bearing, TB issues, paint issues, and I just replaced the starter. That CVT though seems pretty robust. I did the fluid/filter change for the first time at 94k, and it looked new. Not like the Nissan CVTs.
Sorry to hear that. My wife and I were looking at Civics last year, both old and new. We decided on an 06 since we got a good deal and figured it would last another 10 years if we maintained it well. I heard the 18-19s had oil dilution issues. Happy with our little old Civic
They are actually better than those late 90s, early 2000s models.
Nice fix 😀
Thanks! 🍻
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets their wings.
start taking parts off, good luck and God speed how about the timing belt while you're at it. if it has one, or the thin chains that stretches if it has one of those
Every time a bell rings, and Angel gets it's wings!🤣
At first i thought it was the alternator lol
I HAD A MILD PANIC ATTACK AT 15:06! WHY AM I YELLING?!?!
That did not just fail instantly, it was making noise for a while
You should look into getting a Rally Fighter. I think you'd keep it forever. I'd love to watch you do a detailed video on one. It's put together with all mismatched parts. Like the best of all car manufacturers put into 1 vehicle. Baja racer yet a daily driver.
You should try a manual. Wonderful 6 speed with a good clutch.
JR can you please make a video or playlist on what tools you use. Specifically power tools please I’m looking to buy some but there are so many and I know you have only the best
Seems unusual for that type of problem on a low mileage 2014 car of any kind unless it was wrecked/salvaged at some point, but I always say cars are "machines" and none are immune to problems whether they're Japanese, American, German, or Alien.
Exactly, super rare for any new low mile car to break 🍻
Define "low mile". I had a car from 2015 that grenaded its transmission after 100,000.
@@artistwithouttalent A modern car with 100k miles wouldn't surprise me at all needing a transmission unfortunately. All of this new mechanical complexity is just writing on the wall.
I have that same car but its a 2013. Its even gold just like your aunts, but mine is a sport. My car was the last car my late father bought so I have kept it for a winter car. Its 185 HP and great for the winter. Mine only has like 30K on it as its only used a few months a year
My 2015 Accord 4cyl was my dad's too... he's still around (sorry for your loss), he just decided to replace it last year so I bought it from him... 87k to date and haven't had a water pump failure yet but do have a couple squeaks/rattles and have had to have 1 front hub bearing replaced due to noise, and a check engine light twice which was an O2 sensor and some kind of gas tank sensor that was fairly expensive. Still like the car but kind of thought having a newer Honda would give me problem-free ownership for a little longer. Will probably trade for a new Toyota this year or maybe a Ford Maverick if I can find one.
@@Stressless2023 burns oil so the air fuel ratio sensor is coated with carbon, try to clean it.
Love your show just too many foreign cars, Thank you
...says who...?...for what...?...compared to what...?...
What a wonderful nephew you have been J.R.Although this is what you do, you still invested several hours of your time. I know that your family is thankful.Do you think you would consider moving to Peoria AZ. , and letting me adopt you? I am putting this option out there for your consideration.
If I lived near you I would make it my mission to make you my best friend. !!! No fear of my car breaking down !!! 😂
And a King of the Hill quote to complete the video.
I got a 07 honda accord had it since it was a year old runs great but paint is peeling everywhere under the the hood and Inside trunk and everywhere else
Well i have had honda acura all my life, since 1991 crx si , civics si acuras TLs , accords, element, pilot , and the more fun to drive for me ,( i dont know why, is the one i own now, a 2012 honda accord 4dr LX k24 ,it runs amazing , it has like sports movements with a ton of space...
Peace
“Another 100,000 miles” would insinuate it had already traveled 100,000 miles. Lol. Just playing.
It would be hilarious to keep it for a couple of weeks “fixing” it only to return it with LS swap complete.
JR is like 'family car problems'??? Content baby!
Good job keep up the hard work be safe 😀😷🙏
I miss the Honda videos
Good job, JR
