My 2014 Acura has been giving me problems starting.

What is your question?

My car has been giving me problems trying to start it, it can sometimes take up to 3 or 4 times b4 it actually starts. Has anyone else had this problem. The dealer can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it. The put a new starter in 2 weeks ago and that didn't help. The car only has 5,000 miles on it.

We have had it happen with our 2014 TSX wagon three times in the last few months. Our wagon has approximately 5,000. The first time I called AAA as thought it was the battery. Before AAA arrived, it started. The second time it happened to my husband so waited and tried again after a couple of minutes and it started. It happened to me again, so we are taking it in to the dealer when we have the oil changed. We have also had to reprogram the passenger seat a couple of times, but that isn't a concern.

I've had it happen a few more times and once it simply wouldn't start and called aaa. The gas line gets flooded. It happens when you only travel a short distance. Prior to calling aaa, I had washed my car in driveway then pulled it into the garage (only few feet apart) and immediately turned off. I should have let car run at least 5 min. When this happens - keep car in park and as turning ignition push down on accelerator as if you are revving the engine. This clears the gas line. Apparently it is an issue with several newer cars, not just ours.

I'm having the same problem. Mine has 7k and it's happened twice. Dealer also didn't find anything wrong with it after the first time and it's happened again. Both times it happened I was running errands in cold weather (20-30 f)- car was driven a short distance, then parked for about an hour then took 3-4 times to start.

I see that we live in the same general area and I am having the same problem. Which dealership did you bring your car to?

I have had the same problem with my RLx started a couple of months ago and today it quit to start. I have reported the issue to the dealer service but they didn’t find anything. Going to get the vehicle towed.
