About one out of five times I start my car, I have been getting starter grind since the first week I've had her. Thought it would go away, but it hasn't. Anyone else having these issues?

Never

 

[dagocrazy]

Absolutely not

 

[9GenSi]

Check that your starter mounting bolts are tight?

 

[farmoyl]

take it to the dealer

 

[9GenSi]

It should be one of these three things.

loose starter
bad starter pinion
bad flywheel

In that order of probability, and a trip to the friendly Honda technician guru type is not a bad suggestion.

 

[7frog89]

Cool, I'll check it out today. Hope it's just loose

7frog89 did u get it fixed?

 

[9thgenSIguy]

I could have swore my starter was grinding when I started it up on a cold morning this week. Hasn't done it after that.

No unfortunately not. Still does it prob one out of 7 starts. Meant to get it looked at a few times now but work is so busy and by the time I get off they ate closed

ever get this looked at? i notice every once in awhile my started grinds too. really annoying.

 

[Skrub]

I think mine did it once or twice when it was extremely cold out.

 

[h22a1]

ya it is really hit or miss. does it maybe 1 out of 5 starts. sounds like it doesn't catch properly. other times its fine. really weird. I will bring it up at the next oil change but be nice to know what causes it.

Not normal. Get it checked out. FWIW, my '95 Civic had 300,000 miles after 17 years and the starter, still original, never once gave me any problem...

Don't know how starters are now, but back in the day, the starter solenoid would go bad and not properly engage that little gear to the flywheel...
