ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
198 complaints
1. What component or system failed? The ABS/VSA Modulator Control Unit (also known as the ABS pump or module). This system is responsible for Anti-lock Braking and Vehicle Stability Assist. 2. How was safety put at risk? The failure often results in the complete loss of Anti-lock Braking (ABS) and Stability Control (VSA). Increased Stopping Distance: In emergency braking situations, the wheels can lock up, leading to skidding and significantly longer distances to stop. Loss of Steering Control: Without VSA, the vehicle is prone to "plowing" (understeer) or spinning out (oversteer) during evasive maneuvers or on slippery surfaces (rain, snow, gravel). Brake Pedal Issues: Some owners report a "hard" or "unresponsive" brake pedal during the moment of failure, which causes a delay in braking response. This is a widely confirmed issue for 9th Gen Accords. Dealer Diagnosis: Most owners have this confirmed by a dealer through Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Common codes include 121-11 (VSA Solenoid Malfunction) or 81-20 (Acceleration Sensor Malfunction). Service Centers: Independent shops frequently see this issue and often recommend third-party rebuild services (like Module Master or UpFix) because the OEM replacement part from Honda is expensive ($1,500–$2,500) and frequently on backorder. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected? Manufacturer: While Honda has not issued a widespread safety recall for the 9th Gen module specifically (unlike the 2023 "Brake Hold" recall), many individual units have been inspected by dealer technicians. 5. Were there warning symptoms? The symptoms usually appear suddenly and without prior warning, often referred to as a "Christmas Tree" dash. Warning Lamps: The ABS, VSA (triangle with exclamation), Traction Control, and sometimes the Electric Power Steering (EPS) and TPMS lights all illuminate simultaneously.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that when the vehicle was purchased, the advertisement and the odometer indicated the mileage was 79,000. The vehicle was a dealer purchase. The contact stated that when the vehicle was taken for inspection, the contact was informed that the mileage report indicated that the previous mileage was 128,000. The dealer was made aware of the issue, however, declined to confirm that the information was correct.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning lights illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the failure was due to the starter. The starter was replaced. The contact called the local dealer and was provided an estimate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

The car has started just clicking when push button to crank it. It's getting worse day by day. I've had to set and just keep pushing button up to 30 min and it will eventually crank when it gets ready like nothing is wrong. I've googled it and seems every vehicle 2013-2017 is having the same bad starter problem around 40- 60,000 miles. There needs to be a recall because there's ppl already putting 4 and 5 starters on at this mileage and at $800 each it's ridiculous.

Oil leaking on to spark plugs
Oct 29, 2025
I own a 2014 Honda Accord with the 2.4L engine, which has a well-documented oil consumption defect. Recently, I discovered that my engine was nearly dry and required approximately 60 ounces of oil just to bring the dipstick reading to the midpoint between the “low” and “full” marks. The car had been idling roughly at cold start, and the check engine light flickered briefly, which I now understand was due to oil starvation. This condition creates a serious safety hazard because sudden oil loss can lead to engine misfires, stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential damage to the catalytic converter. This is not an isolated incident — thousands of Accord owners from the same model years have reported excessive oil consumption, and Honda has issued technical service bulletins acknowledging the defect. Despite this, no recall has been issued and many affected owners are left to continually top off oil or risk engine damage. I believe this should be investigated as a widespread safety defect, as many drivers may not realize their cars are burning oil until the engine is dangerously low.

Just last week my engine started making a rattling sound from the bottom of the engine. This Honda has been properly maintained at the dealership and never gave any warning signs or symptoms. Now my mechanic says its the crankshaft and bearings. The check engine light turned on and the code was P0300.

STEERING
81 complaints
On 11/18/2025, while driving my 2014 Honda Accord 2.4L (VIN: [XXX] ), I experienced a sudden and dangerous safety failure. Without any warning, the steering became extremely hard and almost locked, making it nearly impossible to turn or control the vehicle. At the same moment, several warning indicators appeared on the dashboard, including: ABS warning VSA warning Brake System warning Because of this failure, the vehicle became unsafe to operate, and I was forced to stop. I could not continue driving due to the risk of losing control of the car. When I checked the recall information online, the system showed that my VIN has an active recall notification, but when I took my vehicle to the dealership (Victory Honda of Plymouth), they informed me that my specific issue is not covered under that recall, even though the symptoms match known ABS/VSA safety failures. The dealership stated that they will not repair the ABS/VSA issue unless I pay out of pocket, despite the steering nearly locking and the vehicle becoming unsafe. Since this involves loss of steering control, it represents a major safety hazard that could lead to a crash. I am requesting an investigation and guidance on whether this failure should be considered a safety-related repair and whether my VIN should be reviewed for inclusion in the recall, given the severity of the incident.

The steering sticks and the assisted steering goes on and off without warning making it dangerous driving. Almost caused a collision. Steering light comes on and off. It sounds like the recall of the steering issue found on other Honda accords for 2014 of other VINs.

Power Steering Failure on multiple occasions dating back to November of 2023. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the steering wheel would lock while car was in motion, at times while making a turn, preventing me from operating my vehicle safely. The problem has been confirmed by three independent service centers: Meineke, located at 9640 S Cicero Ave, Oak Lawn, IL; Reyes Auto Care, located at 9200 Kilpatrick Ave, Oak Lawn, IL; Highline Automotive, located at 11332 SW Hwy, Palos Hills, IL. Vehicle has been inspected by independent mechanics who all came to the conclusion of power steering issue, requiring system update or total replacement of gearbox and/or rack and pinion. Warning lights come on when issue starts. Has been ongoing since I acquired car in Nov of 2023

Power steering goes out during driving. In order for power steering to work again, you must pull over, shut off the car and restart it. It has mostly happen while we have been driving on straight highways and roads and luckily it hasnt happened during any curvy roads or turns. This is one of our main cars we use to drive around town and travel with for adults and children. We took it in to mechanic shop and was told it may be the ABS sensor and they are ordering parts to replace it to see if that fixes the problem. The FCW, check engine, and sliding lights have been turning on and off.
Jun 09, 2025
When I perform a parallel parking maneuver, I turn the steering wheel fully to the right or left and begin backing up slowly. As I reach the halfway point and attempt to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction, it becomes stiff and difficult to move, as if it’s frozen.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator failed. This component is responsible for controlling the stability and traction of the vehicle. The faulty part is still installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The failure of the VSA modulator compromised the vehicle’s ability to maintain stability during braking and cornering, especially in wet or slippery conditions. This increased the risk of losing control of the vehicle, potentially endangering myself, passengers, and others on the road. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the issue has been diagnosed and confirmed by a certified service center. They identified the VSA modulator as the faulty component requiring replacement. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has been inspected by a certified service center, but not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives at this time. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, warning lights related to the VSA and ABS systems appeared on the dashboard. These indicators first came on approximately 4 months ago when I was going through an automatic car wash, signaling a malfunction in the stability control system.

I brought my 2014 Honda Accord to an authorized Honda dealership to have the CV axle recall completed. The dealership informed me that they would not perform the recall unless I paid out of pocket for “stripped/over-tightened bolts” that must be removed in order to complete the recall. Since this is a federal safety recall, I understand the law requires the manufacturer and dealer to complete the recall at no charge, including all labor and parts necessary to carry out the repair. By refusing to perform the recall unless I pay, the dealer is preventing me from receiving a federally mandated safety repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter and ensure Honda/dealership complies with recall obligations.

I'm trying to file a complaint about the 2014 Honda accord having a defective starter!! My starter went out on my car today and apparently it's very common problem on my year of Honda accord! Why hasn't Honda issued a recall on their starters for the 2014 Honda accords???? My neighbor is a licensed mobile mechanic and just confirmed that yes my starter is bad and I will need a new one! I don't have any documentation to upload because he did not charge me since we are next door neighbors! I definitely have decided that I won't be wasting my money buying a genuine Honda accord starter and will go with a aftermarket one because after reading reviews and stuff I am worried that I will be wasting my money on a obviously very problematic auto part and nobody had anything good to say about the starter for my year make model of car !! If I am not in the right section on this website that I should be 2 file a complaint about my starter then please let me know where I need 2 go to file it so hopefully Honda will finally fix the problem and recall the starter that is defective! Thank u

I was on a busy highway, going uphill. The car suddenly decreased speed to 40 mph for about 60 seconds. The car then lost all acceleration with the gas engine still running. Dash warning said "Power system failure". I was able to maneuver the car to the side of the road and call AAA to have it towed to the Honda dealership. Dealership repair center was unable to find a problem.

This generation of Honda has known issue with the push start button to start the car. It sometimes take 3 to 4 or more attempts to start the car successfully. It has a grinding/whirring sound when the engine failed to start. I think it’s a clearance issue between the engine flywheel/torque converter and the starter motor that cause the engine failed to start. I strongly believe Honda should have a recall on this issue to resolve the clearance issue because it’s clearly the engineering design flaw on Honda.

The vehicles ABS control module has been an issue with this vehicle. This needs to be recalled because A bad ABS module can behave erratically, making your brakes lock up even under normal braking, compromising my families safety. It was confirmed today at the Honda Dealership, in which I questioned, “How does this happen to a vehicle with less than 100k miles? If this is a safety concern why isnt there a safety recall?” At that time, the representative became unaware why there wasn’t a recall. The vehicle has been inspected by Honda. Yes, the vehicle light sensors are produced: BRAKE LIGHT ABS LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL POWER STEERING ALL THAT COMPROMISE SAFETY. PLEASE ASSIST.

Several months ago, my Honda that has run very well up until now, started having problems with starting. I took it to Advance Auto and they thought it was the battery so I bought a new battery for over $200. That didn’t help. Then my husband noticed that the dashboard showed to push the brake, gas pedal and starter at the same time. That didn’t really help because sometimes it starts and sometimes doesn’t. We made an appointment at a local dealer where we purchased the car and the maintenance man suggested a new starter but reading through the complaints on here, that doesn’t always help. So he will cancel our appointment. With so many complaints on here about the car not starting, I think it’s your duty to come up with a resolution that works. Several times I have driven the car to places not near our home and the car won’t start. I think this is an unsafe condition and should be repaired!

POWER TRAIN

[XXX] son was driving vehicle outside of city limits. Had come to a 4 way stop sign and proceeded to make a left hand turn towards town. After turning and accelerating vehicle made a loud noise and immediately began coasting to a stop. Son pulled over thinking something with the transmission as the motor is running fine. The car is "free rolling" while in park and will only make a "clunking/knocking" noise when put into gear. Used insurance to have vehicle towed the 14.8 miles home after being stuck on the highway for an hour. Today after internet searching found #20V769 regarding issue with broken driveshaft due to poor coatings from factory. Lack of coatings cause a premature failure due to rust build up, which is accelerated by road salt use. This bulletin covers several states that are in the "ice belt" of the US where they use road salt to treat the roads. Neighboring States of Iowa and Minnesota are both on the list, but not South Dakota. This vehicle has been registered in SD it's entire life(which explains why no previous owners received the bulletin). We live 15 min from both Minnesota and Iowa and having lived here for 42 years I know that we use salt to treat our roads. Please update the bulletin to include South Dakota as this needs to be covered under a safety recall due to identical situations causing premature failure. **Reached out to Honda Motorcars and received a case number as well.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop and making a right turn, the vehicle lost power and started rolling. The vehicle was able to reverse 100 ft. and to push the vehicle 20ft. into a nearby parking lot. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that the front passenger's side CV axle was fractured. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the front passenger's side CV axle was fractured and could not be separated from the knuckle. The dealer applied excessive heat to separate the CV axle from the knuckle to replace the drive shaft; however, the part could not be separated. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V769000 (Power Train), which the dealer related to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the notice of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V769000 (Power Train) was previously sent; however, the contact had not received the recall notification. The contact was concerned that the absence of a recall almost caused the contact and his family members to be involved in a crash and to be injured. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 186,753.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while attempting to operate the vehicle, the vehicle failed to move forward or reverse. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V769000 (Power Train); however, since the vehicle was not diagnosed, it was not known if the failure was related to the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

In 2020, there was a recall (#20V769) on the driveshaft of the 2014 Honda Accord. The car was in the Midwest for 4 years, so I was concerned that the issue with corrosion could directly impact the vehicle due to weather conditions. I went to have the recall serviced, but still noticed the car to be sluggish upon shifting in to gear. I reported the concern to the Honda dealer to see if it was repaired correctly and to understand why it took time for the car to "switch" in to gear. After review, they said nothing was wrong with the car. I continued to have these issues, however every time I went to the Honda service team to get an oil repair the diagnosis report did not show any issues with the transmission. There was a recommendation to get the transmission oil changed, which I did in March 2023. The car will still sluggish after this service. On July 25, 2024 the cars transmission/ drive power disengaged in the middle of a busy road. The car came to a complete stop while moving. The gear shaft failed to engage with the transmission. Prior to this no transmission warning had ever triggered, nor reported by Honda's diagnosis reports. I again stated my concern that the driver shaft may not have been repaired correctly to Honda. They instead faulted that the wrong transmission fluid caused " Transmission is burnt up causing issue of not moving. Tech found transmission has wrong fluid installed which caused internal wear and failure of transmission parts." This statement is false. The car stopped on July 25. In an effort to problem solve the transmission fluid was drained and the incorrect fluid was used, but that was after the car was not shifting, so if the transmission was in fact burnt from the wrong fluid it was a result of the service in 2023. However, that is not the cause of the issue. I believe that failure to repair the drive shaft correct resulted in effects on the transmission that were either intentionally omitted or were not discovered.
Aug 04, 2024
Mechanic noted that drive shafts were corroded and unsafe and they were replaced. This appears to be the same issue as NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:20V-769, however, my VIN was not covered under this. I think this issue affects more than the accords with CVT transmissions in recall 20V-769. I bought this car and live in MA.

ABS, traction control, power steering, parking lights go on and off. ABS control module throws code DTC 121-11; VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Been going off and on for a few weeks. No warning before the lights came on. Heard this is a common problem with the early 2010s Honda Accords that needs a recall. Pulled the code from a personal OBDII scanner.

ABS warning light went on after having front L&R axle replaced because it broke or drive shaft broke . Had rear brakes done at same time calipers rotors and pads. Also emergency brake fixed. Less than a week later ABs light went on a long with Ebrake and power steering lights and traction light . Would initially go on and off now mostly on.. Machanic said it reads Abs module. Seems coincidental that it went on a week after drive shaft broke. However after research this very expensive ABS module seem to be a frequently occurring problem with Honda accords. And unavailable parts to fix. I had a 2001 that ABS went on also. Honda should fix this problem issue a recall maybe and pay to fix .A huge expense for customers. Not sure I will buy another Honda

The ABS module control has failed in my vehicle. This failure is a potentially safety hazard. Per research, "Honda vehicles, particularly those from 2008-2017, have experienced ABS module failures, often indicated by an illuminated ABS light." A local Honda dealership diagnosed the issue. The vehicle has not bee inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance rep; however, the issue was diagnosed by a local Honda dealership. There are warning lights, that only appeared after the failure.

VSA modulator, that controls ABS, failed. (core 123-11 vsa solenoid malfunction). The car is not safe to operate, until the VSA module is replaced (part # 04571-T2F-L21).

Power steering TPM S and traction control lights are coming on after putting in a new battery. This is a recall for 2013 to 2017 Honda Accord sport with CVT transmission and for some reason, my car is not part of the batch, even though it is experiencing this issue. I am assuming the issue is the battery management

Push/Start button has intermittent episodes of not starting the vehicle. Throughout all of Honda's models, this is a wide spread and known entity. The manufacturer has had recalls up to a certain date for this problem. Now they claim ignorance for this known malfunctioning part. I presume to save money and have consumers pay hundreds of dollars for a known but denied by Honda.... problem !!!
Oct 14, 2024
There was a sudden loss of all control of the vehicle for a few seconds, i.e., no steering/braking etc. and swerved; it could have easily caused an accident if there were any cars in the next lane. When control came back, pulled to a left turning lane and stopped. After a couple minutes, started driving again slowly and with fear. There were/are no warning lamps/messages/symbols prior to or after this happened.
Dec 03, 2023
After a minor accident, once turned off, the car would not restart for about 20 minutes. All dash lights flicker and there is a clicking sound. Insurance company will not cover assessment or any repair as they say it cannot be linked to the loss, even though I never had issues with this prior to the accident and it was reported in my accident claim. No issues show on a diagnostic test, but I continue to experience issues with the start button connection. I can hold the brake and press the start button but either have to hold it for 20 - 30 seconds while it clicks or goes dim (while you can hear things trying to happen in the engine), or the brake/start button must be applied multiple times to get it to start. I also think that power is beginning to flicker during driving and now I'm really afraid. I have 105,000 miles.

Paint peeling by the rear window
Jul 20, 2022
I noticed today that paint was peeling from the upper groove between the roof and back window panel of the car. I’m very concerned that overtime this will lead to corrosion that may possibly affect the integrity and safety of the back window leading to potential injury. Per my research, a “Service Bulletin” was realeased by Honda on Aug 29, 2019 extending the warranty for 2014-2015 Honda Accords to resolve this same issue BUT, unfortunately it was limited to Fanthom Blue Pearls or Obsidian Blue Pearl. In addition, this is not an isolated case as many Honda owners have voiced the same complaint in forums and different websites.

Mar 13, 2022
I just happened to be outside today, and noticed and discovered body rust on the rocker panels (both sides) near the rear doors (below doors and in front of rear tires). This would have had to begun a while ago, for me to be just now noticing visible rust and rust-bubbles today. I have also discovered this is a habitual rust issue specific to Honda and the Accord going back several generations, and apparently also habitual front-end frame and/or sub-frame rust issues. For the times I have had it at a Honda dealership service department, and their supposedly "vehicle inspection" to have been included with each service, no person at a Honda dealership service department ever mentioned any rust whatsoever. I purchased my Accord new in 2014, and has approximately 47,000 miles on it today (which of course, factory warranty has expired). It would seem obvious to me that Honda themselves had to always be aware of this type of issue. As I also discovered today via internet searching, that rust has been a Honda Accord issue for over 20 years. Their dealerships ought to be recommending, suggesting, or offering rust protection/rust preventative be applied when buying a new Honda (for a cost to the consumer of course). "Paint Protection" that come with new Hondas, isn't going to take care of nor prevent rust issues. I can't say I've ever been happy nor impressed with my Accord, and all the times I've had it at a dealership service department and mentioned the door wind/door window noise (and finding a "service bulletin" today specific to this on the NHTSA website, but no one at any Honda dealership service department (at least not in the Central Ohio area) has any concern nor interest in investigating anything at all mentioned by a consumer; they only want to change the oil, replace tires, replace filters, and replace wiper blade inserts.

Engine stopped working after stopping at red light, all lights on dash came on-causing me to have to push the car from a main road into a business in order to not impede traffic or get hit.

The ABS modulator has failed. It's a common issue with 2014 Honda Accords and they should be recalled for it. It causes all of the dash lights to come on and so you won't know when there is an actual issue with your car because all of the lights are on all of the time until you can get it repaired. Also your anti lock brakes could fail. I bought this car brand new in 2014. It has less than 80k miles and to pay thousands of dollars 10+ yrs later because Honda charges so much for the part, does not make sense.
Jan 25, 2025
The VSA/ABS module failed and is a costly repair that causes safety concerns. I see from research that this is a common issue among the 2014 Honda accords and a small number of 2014 Honda accords were recalled for this but not mine. The fact that so many are failing this recall should be expanded to include the other accords having the same issues.

There is known issue with the ABS Modulator with this gen Honda Accord. I believe the affected years are 2013-2017. The selenoid for the ABS module goes bad and the light in the attached photo comes on. Basically, the soldering for the tinny modulator wires comes off. Honda sells the at for $2300 These was a class action for the similar issue in Thailand and Honda had to repair all the affected vehicles at no charge. [XXX] Also, it's so common that people on ebay service these selenoids and solder the wires. I think you guys need to step up and put some pressure on Honda and have them honor the service to the affected customer without extra charge.

ABS module/modulator is faulty. Dashboard lights come on and anti lock brakes do not work in rainy conditions or any condition when braking hard to stop. Many people have experienced the exact same thing. The dealership confirmed that it is the abs/gas modulator.

Windshield wiper motor has failed at approximately 26k miles. I own a 1997 chevy k1500 with 217k miles and the windshield wiper motor has never been replaced and still works. For my Honda to have this low of mileage and have this failure rate, I'm unsure of how to repair. Cannot find an aftermarket part at any of the local parts stores and am unsure of using factory remanufactured because of the failure rate being so soon, I don't trust the remanufactured and they never have good warranties and generally high in price from Honda.

I purchased this used vehicle. I have never received any recall information on this vehicle. The electric power steering system, tire pressure and the vehicle stability Assist indicators lit up after a successful vehicle inspection was conducted Thursday 11132025. A 2023 recall, identified by the NHTSA AS 23V-430, covers the issue and requires dealerships to replace the VSA modulator. I contacted the dealership and they told me they could not assist.

ABS module failing and causing ABS sensor, TPS sensor, powersteering sensor and hand brake light turn on. Very dangerous when you meed ABS in action. When i research almost all cars from 2014 having this issue. Honda must recall this car to replace abs module

Hello, The ABS and Traction Control lights of my car came on a few weeks ago. I took it to the dealer and they did a diagnostics and they said it is a faulty/bad ABS (VSA) module (computer). Thee car has fairly low mileage and I did not expect the car to have any serious safety issue at around 65000 miles. The dealer told me the part costs about $1500 and the labor is $600. It is too much for me too afford and it is a safety issues at the same time. When I did a bit of online research I saw it is a popular issue for Honda owners and a lot of them complain and suffer about it. It reveals that Honda has a design flaw with any ABS/VSA module. apparently the module is not designed to tolerate the operating condition of the car (vibration, temperature...) and it gets faulty after a few years or some thousand miles. It is very popular. I could provide evidence of it based on my online research. Some Honda owners apparently try to reset the computer and turn of the light (mask the issue) since it is very costly to replace the part but they do not understand the safety impact it has on the passengers. Apparently Honda is ware of its design flaw too but because of the large cost of this module tries to deny or hide it. If you do online research on Honda accord or civic (all accord and civic after 2011, 2012) ABS or VSA module/modulator issues you will see bunch of it. It is a popular issue which needs a bigger action. Since it is safety and it is Honda's design flaw I wanted to report it to you. Please investigate this safety issue further. It might end up being a recall due to safety and since some owners ignore or reset it due to the very high cost. Please help. It is very costly to fix it as you see and I do not want to pay since the vehicles is fairly low millage and it is a Honda's design flaw. You don't see this issue on Internet with Toyotas or Nissans.

Forward collision warning system failure causing multiple light failures on dashboard

Automatic Breaking System activated upon approaching overhead signs and metal type overpasses. This caused the vehicle to reduce speed significantly on highways and toll roads. Issue not inspected or confirmed by any garage or dealer as it’s random and hard to duplicate. Brake warning and collision lights activate upon false detection. Issue has been occurring randomly since we purchased vehicle. Dealer identified no recall for system issue.

Inexplicably and randomly, the FCW comes on the 2014 Honda Accord Ex-L. It is accompanied by most the other lights in the dashboard coming on (ex. lane departure, anti lock brakes, power steering, Traction control. When you turn car off and wait, the system seems to fix itself and all is fine until it recurs. It's very scary. My mechanic diagnosed and spoke to Honda who advised replacement of Honda ABS Control Module/Modulator Assembly. This is a very expensive part (approx. $1300) and unavailable at Honda. The concern is the safety situation plus the fact that this is a wide problem impacting so many other customers. I came upon this Honda forum where so many customers are having an identical problem to mine: https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/fcw-system-failure-message.77644/page-11#post-6861865 I'm requesting that this issue be investigated and Honda issue a recall and help customers such as me mitigate this problem.

I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L with not even 62,000 miles. When we purchased the car we got the extended warranty, thinking Honda would stand by their product. Not true. After the first month we had to have the battery replaced. Fast forward a few years and we were told we needed a new battery”wire harness” at a cost of over $2,000. Now it is 2025 and the backup camera only works when the turn signal is used; it remains a black screen when put into reverse. Add to that what is apparently a major problem with other Honda owners. When we go to start the car, we get nothing. The CAR DOESN’T START. Thinking that the key fob needed a battery, we replaced them with new batteries. It continues to be a problem. I have a fear I will be out one day and it will not start completely. I see that I am not the only person complaining of this and feel that Honda should issue a recall for the Accord addressing this problem. I feel that I may become stranded one day and this seems to be a SAFETY ISSUE.

1. Starting System I have had trouble starting with the push button for about 3 weeks. It sometimes would take several tries before turning over. Most times, it would start in 1 – 2 attempts. It was worse this last week. I had to try more often, especially on Thursday night. I did not drive at all on Friday. On Saturday 7/1/23, I drove to the pharmacy less than < 1 mile. it did not start after dozens of tries after shopping. I walked home. Later, I had other errands taking our Odyssey. Back at the parking lot, I tried again dozens of times and it would not start. I tried moving the gears from park to neutral, trying to start it and going back again. I called AAA for a tow and called service department to let you know of the issue and the towing to the dealership. I had noticed that when pressing down on the brake pedal, the car started most often when the pedal went down easily. It would usually not start with the pedal being very stiff. 2. Warning Lights on dashboard On Thursday 6/30/23, the warning lights on the dashboard all lit up and stayed lit. The odometer message was FCW failed. I had this problem before which should be in the service history of the vehicle. That problem occurred in August, 2019 and beyond. The throttle assembly was ultimately replaced, and it worked fine after that until now. I had been advised by one of the service representatives to use Shell or Costco gas. I have done that for over 90% of the fill-ups. In the past, the system would reset itself. But several times, the car went into “Creep Mode” when the errors occurred. Once while crossing the border into Niagra Falls, Canada and on I-90 in rush hour traffic. 3.Stalling I have had several cases when the car stalled when idling at stop lights, in stop and go traffic or in reverse. I was nearly a hood ornament for an 18-wheeler in Columbia, SC in April. It stalled and took several attempts to start.

For more than a year, my car has been having issues starting up. It rarely starts on the first attempt. It usually starts on the second attempt. There are times when it takes multiple attempts to start i have spent over $2000 ,replacing new battery, replacing new starter and after few weeks THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN today my car will NOT START and i cant get to work leaving me stranded in the middle of highway heading to work... THIS IS A LAWSUIT TO HONDA for NOT RECALLING AND FIXING the issue that THEY SOLD US BRAND NEW CARS WITH WELL KNOWN ISSUES i will contact my Family attorney since theres hundreds of others with the SAME ISSUES... obviously HONDA ISNT AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE .. NEVER EVER AGAIN HONDA IN MY FAMILY

The car does not start consistently. I have replaced the battery two times and the starter. I will turn the key and the engine will not crank over, sometimes it will start up 30 seconds or a minute later after I attempt a couple of times.

My 2014 Honda Accord 3.5-V6, 9 years old, it has almost 40,000 miles on it. Recently all warning lights show up on the dashboard (ABS, FCW, Traction control, LDW.....) Honda dealers said it take $3000 to fix it, they mentioned the Honda Accord 2014 is bad designed from Honda Company. I wish NHTSA look into this matter, investigate the quality of Honda Accord 2014. Honda must recall to fix the problems. Please. Help us to recall Honda Accord 2014-V6. As a retiree, I don't have much money $3000 to fix the ABS system. Thank you very much.

ABS modular failed causing ABS brakes FCW and LDW and Traction control to stop working
Jun 23, 2023
During normal operation of the vehicle several indicating lights suddenly illuminated on the cluster...etc. steering, FCW, LDW, ABS, traction control and the verbiage " FCW FAILED". With the ABS unit not functioning properly the vehicle may, can and will skid uncontrollably under emergency braking, especially during inclement weather conditions. The same can be said for the traction control under acceleration, or normal driving depending on the road condition. With the FCW, and LDW not functioning the risk of a rear, or side collision is greatly increased again, pending the weather condition. As for the steering I am clueless as to the implications it may have, especially that this vehicle is equipped with electronically assisted steering. This vehicle was taken into the local Honda dealer to be looked at after the several attempts to clear codes. First by shutting the vehicle the off and restarting it several times and disconnecting the battery for extended period of time more than once. The dealer ran a diagnostic check, which they conclude that the VSA/ABS modulator needs to replace because of "81-20 ABS CPU internal circuit malfunction, 61-11 VSA modulator control unit power source circuit low voltage: repair will require new VSA Modulator" The vehicle has been taken into the HONDA dealer for inspection (see above statement). It has not been inspected by the police or by the insurance. NO! there were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms to indicate a possible malfunction of the system. This issue first appeared on the 6 July 2022. After doing several independent research about this failure, associated fix and cost to repair. I realized that this is a major issue affecting this make, model, trim, and year. It also extends to these manufacture's other models, trims, and years prior to and after. A Simple search of 2014 Accord "FCW FAILED" will highlight the broad scope of this issue.

A sensor in the ABS module has failed, and has caused FCW, LDW, ABS, TCS to all not work. Honda wants me to replace the module, but says the parts on back order for forseeable future and that they can’t do anything for me. How can 1 part cause the failure of so many safety systems? How can they not stock this important repair part? Everytime I drive, my safety and the safety of those around me is compromised, and Honda’s solution given to me from the dealer was to call back in 3 months to check if the part can be ordered. (And then pay $2000 to have it installed)

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY 08-18-2020 3 LIGHTS APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE DASHBOARD, THE TPMS, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING & VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS. MY CHILD & I FELT THE VEHICLE SWERVE & I MANAGE NOT TO HIT A CEMENT WALL OR ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT INSTANTANEOUSLY NOTICED MY VEHICLE FELT DIFFERENT. AFTER JUST HAVING A 21-PT INSPECTION AT JOHN EAGLE HOUSTON & PAYING ALMOST 1,000 FOR FRONT & REAR BRAKE PADS & OTHER MECHANICAL ISSUES, SURELY I WOULD'VE THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP COULD'VE TOLD ME THIS OR WARNED ME IT WAS GOING TO FAIL. ANYWAYS, AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD ERADICATE THE ISSUE, BUT IT DIDN'T. I TOOK IT BACK TO JOHN EAGLE HOUSTON, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE YAW RITE WENT OUT. I READ UP ON THIS BEFORE HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP & DURING THE 2 HOUR WAIT & ACCORDING TO CARCOMPLAINT.COM & NHTSA THEY'RE MANY 2014 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE & HAVE PAID OVER $1,500+ TO FIX THIS & THE WORST PART IS THE PART IS ON BACKORDER & WON'T BE IN FOR 2 MONTHS! SO, YOU HAVE FAULTY CARS ON THE ROADS THAT CAN POSSIBLY INJURE PEOPLE. HONDA WILL HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS! THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RECALL, BUT I KNOW NOT GUESS REVENUE IS MORE IMPERATIVE THAN HUMAN LIFE! WHAT WILL IT TAKE? PREVENTIVE DEATH? THIS CAN BE PREVENTED, THERE'S STILL TIME. EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY & THOSE WHO DON'T WILL JUST RIDE WITH THEIR DASHBOARD'S LIGHTS LIT LIKE THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. THIS IS HORRIBLE.

IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO START MY CAR. LAST NIGHT IT WOULDN'T START. WHEN IT FINALLY DID START ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN AND WOULDN'T GO OUT. THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OF MY FRIENDS THAT ALSO OWN 2014 HONDA'S.

BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE WE GOT THE CAR. YEAR 3 WE NEEDED NEW STARTER, NEW BACK UP CAMERA. THIS YEAR DRIVER'S WINDOW WOULD WORK ONLY WORK SOME OF THE TIME. IN JUNE WHEN I STARTED ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON WITH ABS SYSTEM POWER FAILURE WARNING. IT WOULD GO ON AND OFF AS I DROVE. THEN THE CAR STARTED JERKING AS IT WAS DRIVEN AND FINALLY STAYED ON AND WAS ON EVERYTIME WE STARTED. NEEDS A NEW MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT WHICH IS $1,400 AND HAS BEEN BACKORDERED SINCE MID JUNE. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE CAR, AND I CAN'T RENEW REGISTRATION BECAUSE IT WON'T PASS VA SAFETY INSPECTION.

3 DASHBOARD LIGHTS APPEAR ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD ALL AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THESE THREE LIGHTS THAT REMAIN ILLUMINATED INCLUDE 1) ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) LIGHT, 2) VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (VSC) LIGHT, AND 3) ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LIGHT. HONDA DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ABS MODULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE (3YRS OR 36K MILES). THE QUOTE I RECIEVED TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULATOR FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS $1,700. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE ABS MODULATOR FOR HONDA ACCORD TO SEE IF THERE WERE OTHER ACCORD OWNERS THAT HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE. UPON SEARCH FROM YOUTUBE AND HONDA FORUMS, I FOUND THERE TO BE OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 3 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (ABS, VSC AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) AND THE REPAIR COST IF NOT UNDER WARRANTY CAN RANGE FROM $1,300 TO AS HIGH AS $2,000 FROM WHAT I SAW OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS TO REPORT. I FEEL AS THOUGH HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THIS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY AND FEEL AS THOUGH THEY SOLD ME A DYSFUNCTIONAL CAR. I FEEL COMPELLED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE MY CAR VALUE IS 10K AND TO REPAIR THE ABS MODULATOR I WOULD HAVE TO FORK UP NEARLY 20% OF MY CARS VALUE FOR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT WAS PERHAPS FAULTY DESIGN ON HONDAS PART. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS AND I HOPE YOU INVESTIGATE IT FURTHER.

ON 24 AUGUST 2018, SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH, TO INCLUDE THE THE FCW, LDW, BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VSA MODULATOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY RESET IT AND TOLD ME THAT IF THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, I WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO GET IT REPLACED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON 2 HOURS LATER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART, WHICH WAS $1400 +TAX AND LABOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

BOTH OF MY BACK TIRES GOT CUPPING ON THE INSIDE. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE OR LACK OF ROTATION. I HAVE CHECKED A COUPLE OF CARS FROM MY NEIGHBORS AND THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THEIR TIRES ARE DAMAGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE STRUTS ARE THE PROBLEM.
Dec 06, 2017
VERY ROUGH RIDE SPECIALLY IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IT'S BEEN THE SAME SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AT END OF 2014. THE CAR'S SUSPENSION DOES NOT KEEP THE CAR PLANTED AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND ALMOST BOUNCES OFF THE ROAD WITH A MEDIUM SIZE BUMP WHILE EITHER A GRAND MARQUIS OR MUSTANG CAN MANAGE THE SAME BUMP (THE SAME TOLL ROAD 241 HAS THE SAME BUMP ACROSS THE TWO LANES). I WENT OVER THAT BUMP RECENTLY ON A TRIP WITH THE HONDA, REALLY ACCENTUATING THE PROBLEM AND REMINDING ME HOW THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS "FAMILY" SEDAN RIDES ROUGHER THAN MY 2006 MUSTANG GT, ALL DUE TO WHAT I THINK IS THE WRONG SHOCK/STRUT SPEC, WHICH HONDA SHOULD HAVE SORTED OUT BEFORE MASS PRODUCTION.

THERE IS A VERY LOUD HUMMING/ROARING NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. I THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE RELATED AND WAS TALKED INTO NEW TIRES IN WHICH THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, IT IS LOOKING AS IF THE NOISE IS BEING PRODUCED FROM THE REAR WHEEL BEARING. I CAN TURN SHARPLY TO THE LEFT, RELIEVING PRESSURE/WEIGHT FROM THE LEFT REAR AND THE NOISE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES. TURNING SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, (INCREASING PRESSURE TO THE LEFT REAR) INCREASES THE NOISE. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED BY MY HONDA DEALER. THE NOISE STARTED AT AROUND 35K AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE.
Sep 13, 2016
SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY CAR BRAND NEW I HEARD A CLUNK NOISE COME FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL AREA. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. TODAY, AT AROUND 27K MILES THE NOISE HAS EVOLVED INTO A RATTLE WHICH IS HEARD WHILE GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR AROUND A SWEEPING RIGHT HAND TURN.
Jan 29, 2016
POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISES IN DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT END WERE DUE TO IMPROPERLY TORQUED LOCK NUT ON DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT. DEALER INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINED IT WAS NOT COMPROMISED, SO REINSTALLED IT; THEREFORE IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE, BUT IMPROPERLY TORQUED. *TR

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

When driving at low speeds, for example looking for parking in my work parking lot, my 2014 Honda accord coupe lost power steering. Steering wheel became heavy and hard to turn. The screens flickered on the radio and the car felt like a manual car when it stalls. With every turn of the wheel the car would try to shut off. No warning light came on the dash. There was a car behind me when it happened. Even though it was a parking lot, the car behind me almost rear ended me since the car started to try to shut off when i was making a turn into the parking spot and he/she did not expect my car to stop before i completed the turn. This just happened an hour ago and since i had to come in to work I haven't taken it for a diagnoses yet.
Jan 16, 2025
I was making a left turn and my steering wheel locked up. I couldn't return the wheel right to straighten out. The car kept going left. I had to put my car in reverse and after some time the steering wheel unlocked while in reverse. I was on a busy street and almost caused an accident. I was on the right lane and it forced me into the left lane. The driver I cut off was able to brake just in time without hitting my car. No lights on dashboard. Not able to reproduce by dealership. Dealership scanned code 85-01 VSA system malfunction and is charging $3k to replace the VSA modulator part #04571-T2F-L11. No other symptoms prior. I have dashcam video as well [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The power steering seemed to have gotten "stuck" in place or so it felt or seemed for a short time while driving. I have noticed that when I am turning the wheel that I can hear noise when turning as if it's not moving smoothly. If my power steering stops working while driving or gets stuck, then that could pose a serious problem to me and other drivers. The problem is daily now with the sound of every left or right turn. This component has not been inspected by anyone yet. There weren't any warnings.

Driving home from work on an icy road, the Steering Failed. The Car would not turn left or right, I was on a highway, driving at 55 mph and had to stop the car. The dashboard lit with a Steering Fault indicator, After the failure. My safety was greatly endangered by the sudden failure, with no steering control I have had the entire steering rack replaced by my local repair shop. The selling dealer was not interested in any concessions to me, nor any admission of an existing service bulletin. I have the failed steering rack in my possession

THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE UP ON ME AT START UP. I TURNED IT OFF AND IT WORKED CORRECTLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. AFTER THE THIRD TIME I READ ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS OTHERS WERE HAVING AND KNEW THAT IT COULD FREEZE UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER MARCH 19 2018. HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT IT. I WILL FIX IT AND HOPE FOR A RECALL. IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $700. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
5 complaints
The vehicle associated with the subject VIN is a 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid. The high voltage battery has deteriorated substantially from the time the car was purchased by us as a new car. Specifically, (i) the high voltage battery no longer is capable of taking a full charge; and (ii) the high voltage battery does not hold a charge. Judging from (i) the car's dashboard gauge indicating level of charge; (ii) the dashboard gauge indicating miles of EV driving available; and (iii) actual miles that the car will drive in EV mode it is clear that the high voltage battery is more likely than not deteriorated to less than 50% compared to when it was new. Because the Plug-in Accord relies on the high voltage battery and can not function without the high voltage battery this level of deterioration presents a safety risk. Honda has issued a technical bulletin regarding the unexpected deterioration of these high voltage batteries. However, given the critical role these high voltage batteries play a recall seems in order.

THE HONDA ACCORD 2014 IS CONSUMING TONS OF ENGINE OIL. HAVING ISSUES WITH "ENGINE OIL BURNING" WHERE EVIDENCE OF EVAPORATED ENGINE OIL IS ON THE ENGINE AND IS GETTING CONSUMED RAPIDLY. I HAVE TO REFILL A QUART FOR EVERY 1500 MILES. THIS MEANS 3 QUARTS ADDED BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. THIS WAS DISCOVERED AROUND NOV 2017 WHEN THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF (~44,000 MILES). AFTER GASKET REPLACEMENTS AND TWO OIL CHANGES, I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES AND AM AT 50,400 MILES. MY MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON TIME WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT AROUND 4500-5000 MILES.

ONE MORNING WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO DAYCARE I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE (THE LINE FROM THE GAS TANK TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR). UPON RECEIVING THE REPLACEMENT PART THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE NEW FUEL LINE HAS AN ADDITIONAL INSULATOR THAT PREVENTS THIS EXACT ISSUE. I'VE SEEN THIS REPORTED ELSEWHERE AS "POSSIBLE RODENT DAMAGE" BUT THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE HONDA IS AWARE OF BUT NOT ADDRESSING VIA A RECALL.

VIBRATING AND OUT OF BALANCE SOUND SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE. DEALERSHIP WOULD ALWAYS CLAIM THEY COULD NOT "RECREATE THE NOISE" EVEN THOUGH I SAT IN THE CAR WITH THE TECH AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A SOUND. THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS A FEW TIMES AND KICKED DIFFERENT IDEAS AROUND OF WHAT IT WAS UNTIL COMING TO THE IDEA IT WAS THE TIRES AND THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE. TIRES WERE CHANGED AND STILL HAS A VIBRATION. TIRE TECH AT DISCOUNT TIRES SHOWED ME A SLIGHTLY OFFLINE WHEEL THAT HAS BEEN THE ISSUE SINCE DAY 1. HONDA MUST USE DEFECTIVE PARTS ON THEIR CARS. ANYTHING TO TURN A PROFIT I'M SURE, AND AT SOMEONE ELSE'S EXPENSE AND SAFETY.

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. IN OUR FIRST SNOWSTORM THIS YEAR, I NOTICED I HAD TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY MOVING FORWARD, EVEN ON FLAT SURFACE, WITHIN MY OWN CULDESAC, WITH VERY LITTLE SNOW ON THE GROUND. DESPITE THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND ORIGINAL TIRES, I WAS SURPRISED HOW BADLY THE TIRES PERFORMED IN MILD SNOWY CONDITIONS. I MADE A MENTAL NOTE TO GET NEW TIRES, ALTHOUGH QUITE DISAPPOINTED THAT I FELT THAT NEED WITH A RELATIVELY NEW CAR UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEXT SNOW HIT BEFORE I BOUGHT NEW TIRES. I WAS IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE, MAKING MY WAY TO A MAJOR STREET WITH A MILD DECLINE. THE ROAD WAS SLICK, BUT I NOTED THAT THE OTHER CARS DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY STOPPING, ETC. AS I BEGAN THE DESCENT DOWN THE HILL, I NOTICED MY TIRES WERE NOT GIVING MY ANY TRACTION, AND I BEGAN SLIDING UNCONTROLLABLY DOWN THE HILL. I COLLIDED WITH A CAR ON THE INTERSECTING STREET DUE TO, I BELIEVE, VERY POOR TIRE PERFORMANCE. A NEW CAR OF THIS CALIBER, IN MY OPINION,SHOULD HAVE ADEQUATE TRACTION ABILITY FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST 20,000 MILES. MY CAR IS, LIKELY TOTALED, I AM INJURED, THE OTHER PARTY'S CAR IS BADLY DAMAGED AND I IMAGINE SHE SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN HAVING MY CAR SERVICED OVER THE PAST YEAR, I WAS NEVER ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE INADEQUATE.

STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES

Brake and power steering lights come on and off. Occasionally power steering malfunctions. The cause has been diagnosed as the abs module. I will have to get it rebuilt. The wiring is a known issue with Honda.
Jul 16, 2025
What happened? While driving my 2014 Honda Accord, both the brake and steering warning lights suddenly illuminated. The steering became difficult, indicating a loss of power steering assist. I pulled over safely and discovered that the ABS light remained on. After towing the vehicle to a service center, the technician confirmed that the ABS pump/module had failed, which triggered both warning lights and caused a failure in the power steering system. This malfunction poses a serious safety risk, potentially leading to loss of braking efficiency and steering control. The failure was sudden, with no prior warning signs. The service center advised that the ABS module requires replacement. Legal Protections and Manufacturer Liability: As a consumer, I am protected under state lemon laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. These laws mandate that vehicles sold must be free from defects affecting safety and performance. The ABS pump/module failure directly compromises the vehicle’s safety, making Honda responsible for repair or replacement. I should not bear the cost of this repair, as the issue is a manufacturing defect. Widespread Safety Issue and Call for Investigation: It has come to my attention that thousands of 2014 Honda Accords are experiencing the same ABS pump/module failure, a clear safety issue that affects both the braking and steering systems. This is a widespread defect that Honda has yet to acknowledge with a formal recall. This issue appears to be purposefully hidden, and I urge Honda to initiate a thorough investigation and recall to address this danger. If Honda does not act quickly, I will pursue legal action to ensure the safety of affected consumers, including complaints to regulatory bodies and potential class action litigation.

2014 HONDA ACCORD HAD VSA, ABS, TIRE PRESSURE AND EPS (STEERING) LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT RANDOM AND TURN OFF AT RANDOM. THERE IS ALSO A LOSS OF STEERING ACCURACY AT LOW SPEEDS (LOWER THAN 5MPH) ON FULL LOCK. ABS WOULD ENGAGE UNDER BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS - AT TIMES WHEN THE ABS WAS NOT NECESSARY TO HELP THE STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AND ENGAGE AND RANDOM TIMES (10-25MPH ROUGHLY). HONDA DEALERSHIP WANTS $1920 TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND STATED THAT THEY SUGGEST NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY THE DRIVER, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT BOTH HONDA AND THE NHTSA CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND CAN CORRECT IT AND RECALL IT. IF THE US GOVERNMENT MANDATES (SINCE SEPT 1, 2013) CARS MUST HAVE ABS AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (HONDA'S CALLS IT VSA) THAN HOW IS THIS OKAY TO LET HONDAS ON THE ROAD WITH THESE FAILURES. AT THE HIGH PRICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE I DOUBT MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE WILLING TO AFFORD IT.

In the dashboard, EPS (Electronic Power Steering), VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), ABS (Anti Lock Brake system), and BRAKE lights would turn on and off Intermittently. The lights could turn on starting the car in the morning or after driven for some time, for short period of time - 15 minutes to long period of time - 60 minutes. When these lights are on initially, a clank could be typically heard. When driven and slowed to around 10 MPH, the high-to-low whine could be heard. At low speeds, the car jerks on deaccelearation and acceleration. The car may be difficult to drive smoothly at low speeds. OBDII reader found no fault codes. Reports of other cars with simillar problem indicate issue with ABS module, wheel speed sensor, and/or battery.

1. VSA Modulator: VSA ABS Brake Control Module and is still in my car 2. Flashing lights distracting when driving and no replacements available per dealer (see below). Concern if problem causes Break system degradation or failure. 3. I have the service record from Performance Kings Honda, Cincinnati, OH 513-774-6013 with detailed notes below INv # 1146638 4. No, part is still installed in my vehicle so I can drive it 5. LDW, FDW, ABS, TPS (tire), Power Steering, etc. appeared without symptoms/warning in Summer 2023. All of a sudden, many of the lights on the dashboard lit up. LDW, FDW, ABS, TPS (tire), Power Steering, and maybe another one or two. Mechanic recommended changing the battery. After the battery was replaced, the lights should have reset automatically. When they didn't reset as expected, the mechanic tried to diagnose the issue and found no mechanical issues and didn't get a code from the scanner he had. After 6 months, I took the car to the Honda Dealer who diagnosed the issue:"Diag-Electrical - Found DTC-66-113 Pressure Sensor Malfunction Recommend Replace VSA Modulator. Dealer says the part is not available and there is no expectation of the part being restocked in the future "Galactic Back-order". Cost of $168 to diagnose the problem. This part is not available for sale any where on the internet, but could be remanufactured by vendors on eBay and Amazon ( safety problem #1). Reviewed many postings across the internet from owners of Honda Accord 2014 and many other models and years. The warning lights being on and flashing constantly is very distracting and the Error messages replace 2 of the functions on my odometer display. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle should the problem deteriorate further and various systems fail. The part is still in my car at this point and is available for inspection. This issue should be reported to Honda and covered by a recall.

FCW-Forward Collision Warning, LDW-Lane Departure Warning, ABS, Traction Control, Power Steering, Low Tire Pressure lights on. Attributed to common VSA/ABS module malfunction.

LDW, FCW, brake, ABS, etc. lights flashing. After much research it appears this is a known problem that affects thousands of Honda vehicles. I have found that the VSA Module is responsible- the solenoid is bad. This part needs to be replaced but is on back order with an unknown date when it will be available. Honda has been aware of this problem for many years!! This is a safety issue and is unsafe to operate this vehicle. As there are no replacements available there is no other option but to drive it as I need my car. If an accident occurs due to this part malfunctioning it will be Hondas responsibility due to the fact that they have known this is a problem and that there are no replacements available!!

THIS IS NOT NORMAL ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES, FUEL INJECTION WAS CLEANED, AND CVT TRANSMISSION IS ALSO REPLACED CONSISTENTLY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 6MONTHS AGO. ENGINE IS CURRENTLY DISMANTLED AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER! COMPLETELY UPSETTING!

I DROVE THE BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD SON ON HIGH WAY 93 SOUTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. IT WAS FRIDAY NOON TIME, BUSY IN HIGH WAY. I FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TRIED TO CHANGED TO SLOW LANE. THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WITH ERROR CODE INSTEAD OF "D" IN THE PANEL. THERE WAS BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME. I PULLED IT OVER. IT WAS WITHIN 24 HOUR AFTER WE PICKED UP THE CAR. IT WAS SCARY EXPERIENCE! LUCKILY, WE ARE SAFE! EVEN LUCKIER, IT HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE IT, NOT MY 20 YEAR OLD, INEXPERIENCED CHILD DROVE. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IT OCCURRED WHILE HE DROVE. DEALER TOLD US IT WAS REGULATOR IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM BROKEN. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AS A SOLUTION. *TR

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAS 42,000 MILES. STARTING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, THE CAR WOULD NOT START RANDOMLY. (BATTERY, ALTERNATOR TESTED GOOD. NO ISSUES WITH THEM) I DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IF THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC OR ON A HILL I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO START THE CAR BACK UP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I HAVE BEEN STRANDED PLACES BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T START. ONE TIME IT WAS 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I COULDN'T LEAVE TO GO HOME FROM WORK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START. SINCE THE ISSUE STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, IT IS NO MUCH WORSE. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY 15 TO 20 TIMES AND IT FINALLY WILL START. SOMETIMES IT WONT. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THESE 9TH GEN HONDA ACCORD STARTERS FAILING. MINE FAILED AT 42,000 MILES? WHAT MODERN CAR'S STARTER DIES THAT EARLY?! SOMEONE ELSE'S STARTER DIED AT 24,000 MILES. MANY POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WANTED $800 TO FIX THE ISSUE. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES. SO DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE, AND FRUSTRATING! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY HONDA.

I BOUGHT MY 2014 HONDA CIVIC EXL NEW IN FEB 2014, AND EVER SINCE NEW THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARE AT THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS, AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND OVER DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROADWAYS. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA TO RESISTER A CASE NUMBER WITH THEM. HONDA AMERICA INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED AGAIN BY THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, OVERNIGHT, SO THEIR TECHNICIANS CAN WORK IN CONCERT WITH THE DEALERSHIPS TECHNICIANS. WHATEVER THEY DID, DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION AS THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK. HONDA AMERICA THEN HAD ME BRING MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, AGAIN OVERNIGHT. ONCE AGAIN THE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A WEEK. HONDA AMERICA NOW TELLS ME, AFTER 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO REMEDY THE MALFUNCTIONING TPMS SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS 33,900+ MILES AND FOR THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD IT IN TO FOX HONDA IN GRAND RAPIDS FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS, THAT IT STUTTERS OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AND TWICE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED OUT AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. FOX MOTORS PLUGS A COMPUTER INTO THE CAR AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF ANY PROBLEMS AND THEY CAN'T FIX WHAT THEY CAN'T DETECT. TWO DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING TO THE VA HOSPITAL IN BATTLE CREEK, I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON ANDERSON RD/STREET AND THE CAR STALLED AND A FEDEX SEMI HAD TO DRIVE ONTO SHOULDER AND ONTO A YARD TO KEEP FROM HITTING US AND IF HE HADN'T, WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO FOX MOTORS AND THEY ARE STANDING PAT, REFUSING TO HELP US. THEY DID OFFER TO BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME, BUT FOR A TERRIBLE PRICE AND I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH IT AND THEY DEALERSHIP MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WOULD RESELL IT WITH CONFIDENCE AND I REFUSED TO SELL IT TO THEM IF THEY WERE GOING TO RESELL IT WITH A SERVICE CERTIFICATION. HOW DARE THEM DO THAT! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.

SIMILAR TO NHTSA COMPLAINTS #10619205, #10607907, #10655300, #10630708, AND #10628501. DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE, GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A LARGE INCLINE AND BEGAN ACCELERATING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. AFTER OVER 10 MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON. ALTHOUGH I COULD FEEL THAT PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT FEEL THE SAME, AND IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HESITATING AND STRUGGLING TO SWITCH GEARS UP AND ACCELERATE. ON 8/29/2014, AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE, WHILE AGAIN IN CRUISE CONTROL (ECO BOOST WAS NOT ACTIVE), GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR. APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES LATER, WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ACCELERATING UP A LARGE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH A MESSAGE STATING ?FCW SYSTEM FAILED.? THE FCW INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD, AS WELL AS THE LDW LIGHT, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM INDICATOR, AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) SYSTEM INDICATOR. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND IT COULD NOT GET BACK IN GEAR OR IT COULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER 3 SERVICE CALLS, HONDA'S RESPONSE IS ONLY "CANNOT REPLICATE, SO THERE IS NO PROBLEM." THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JS

ABS Module failure. Im sure this issue has been mentioned multiple times, but it is a known issue that the honda accord's (2014 range models) ABS module circuit board have improperly sized wires that are soldered on the circuit board. This can cause a lot of issues especially when driving in the snow and/or rain since the ABS system is faulty.

I purchased this vehicle new, it has only 70,000 miles. Recently the dashboard lights lit up with a message that the forward collision warning system failed. I pulled over as soon as I could and began looking this up. First, I wanted to learn if it was safe to drive the car home or if I needed to have the car towed to a dealer. When I restarted the car thirty minutes later the warning lights were off. I got the car home and used an inexpensive OBD reader to check for codes, none showed up. Later I took the car to a mechanic and his professional scanner found codes 81-19 and 81-20. There are many stories on youtube about the VSA/ABS module failing.
Mar 24, 2024
In July 2023 after having brake pads and rotors replaced at the Honda dealership, several dashboard lights went on: LDW/FCW, traction control, steering, and ABS lights came on. After a diagnostic test at the dealership, they wanted over $2600 for parts and labor for a new ABS module. However, this part is “on backorder” with NO ETA. We spent less than $700 to have a mechanic remove the current ABS module, send it to CA to a place we found on eBay that repairs them, and have the mechanic replace it after bleeding the brake lines and replacing the brake fluid. This is a KNOWN issue (see Reddit, YouTube, these complaints, mechanics…even the dealership) on a part that should last the lifetime of the car. I expected more from Honda.

The ABS control module is defective on my vehicle. The electronic components have a poor design which allows the electrical contacts inside the module to break lose. Honda is aware of many of these complaints but has failed to perform a recall.
Jan 03, 2024
The VSA ABS modulator failed, and it will be available for inspection upon request. The failure of this causes the ABS system to not work along with traction control. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic that pulled the codes and then taken for an estimate to the Honda dealer who confirmed the issue with the modulator. There are 4 warning lights in addition to the "FCW System Failed" message on the dash. The ABS light, traction control, FCW, and Tire Pressure indicator lamps all display and cannot be cleared. The FCW System Failed message cannot be cleared to be able to see other maintenance that is due such as an oil change or to view current mileage. The message and warning lights just popped up unexpectedly while pulling into to parking spot. For a brief time, the steering wheel would shake while driving making it appear that there was another issue, but there was not.
Jun 30, 2023
THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO SIMULATE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE FCW SHOULD ALERT, WITH NO SUCCESS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER FOUR TIMES. ON TWO OF THE VISITS THE FCW ONLY WORKED ONCE AFTER TESTING FOUR OR MORE TIMES.THE FCW NOTIFICATION WAS TOO CLOSE FOR SAFELY TAKING ACTION. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE WARNING DISTANCE WHEN CHANGING THE SETTINGS- LONG, NORMAL, SHORT. ON THE TWO OTHER OCCASIONS THE FCW DID NOT WORK AT ALL. DEALER ADVISED IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO RIDE ALONG ON TEST DRIVES. HONDA AMERICA WOULD NOT FURNISH EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES TO DETERMINE IF FCW WAS WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY VARIABLES AND THIS INFORMATION WAS PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVISE AND SHOULD WORK PROPERLY. HONDA AMERICA REFUSED MY REQUEST TO SEND TO AN EMPLOYE TO TEST DRIVE. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN *TR

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated while having routine maintenance performed on her vehicle, she was informed that the oil level was very low. The contact stated that the check oil warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the frequency of the "check oil" light had increased and that the time between having the oil topped off and "check oil" light had gone from several months to only several weeks. Additionally, the contact stated that the "check oil" light had stopped illuminating; however, the engine was still consuming oil abnormally. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact stated that oil was added and the oil filter changed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 127,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD EX, 4 DOOR SEDAN ON MAY 26, 2014. ON JUNE 1, 2014, I WAS AT RED TRAFFIC LIGHT (ZERO MILE SPEED) AND CAR WAS IN DRIVE POSITION. I TRIED TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE, BUT BY MISTAKE I PRESSED THE START ENGINE SWITCH BUTTON INSTEAD OF CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE SWITCH, WHICH IS JUST NEXT TO ENGINE SWITCH. SURPRISINGLY THE RESULT WAS THAT MY CAR TURNED OFF. ON JUNE 2, 2014, I CONTACTED HONDA DIRECTLY AND THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE AT STREET OR HIGHWAY SPEED AND IF YOU PRESS THE START SWITCH FOR 2 SECONDS, THE CAR ENGINE WILL TURN OFF AT WHATEVER THE SPEED OF CAR IS, RESULTING IN YOUR CAR SPEED CHANGE, IF YOU PRESS THE POWER SWITCH AND IT WILL TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE TO 0 MPH IN A MATTER OF A SECOND. I AM VERY SCARED ABOUT THIS SAFETY FEATURE AND NOW HAVE MANY CONCERNS, AS LISTED BELOW: 1.WHY IS THE START SWITCH SO CLOSE TO THE AIR-CONDITION CONTROL SWITCH? 2.THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVING MODE. 3.SINCE ALL OF THE CONTROLS ARE BY RIGHT HAND, THE ENGINE SWITCH SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, SO IT CANNOT TURN OFF, EVEN BY MISTAKE, AND NO ONE IN THE CAR CAN REACH THIS SWITCH EXCEPT THE DRIVER. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE IS NEEDED PLEASE REPLY TO ME AT YOUR CONVENIENCE, THANK YOU. *TR

THEY STARTED THEN TO GO AWAY FOR A FEW MILES THEN STAY ON MOST OF THE TIME. THE CAR ABS SYSTEM STARTED ACTING UP WHEN BRAKING AND ABS DOES NOT ENGAGE. I HAD IT CHECKED AT THE DEALER ON AUGUST 21, 2018 AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE VSA MODULATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND IT IS COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS AND CAUSING ALL 4 WARNING LIGHTS TO COME ON. THEY SAID THE REPAIR WILL COST $1565.00. THIS FAILURE IS VERY PREMATURE FOR SUCH A CAR THAN HAD ONLY 42,000 MILES AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED.

WE HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STARTING. WE FOUND AN ONLINE THREAD ON THE SUBJECT WITH WORKAROUND TRICKS. SOMETIMES PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTING IT FROM THERE WORKS, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY.

INITIAL PROBLEM WITH PUSH BUTTON START - WOULD NOT START ON FIRST PUSH. STARTED AT ABOUT 55K MILEAGE. PROBLEM HAS WORSENED - MAY START ON FIRST PUSH, BUT SOMETIMES TAKES MANY PUSHES IN COMBINATION WITH BRAKE RELEASE AND DEPRESSING OR JUST PUSHING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE - THEN BRAKING AND PUSHING. VERY INTERMITTENT IN TERMS OF HOW MANY PUSHES - SOMETIMES JUST A COUPLE, SOMETIME 10 OR MORE! NOW AT JUST UNDER 60K MILEAGE, CAR CANNOT BE TRUSTED. ERROR CODES COME UP AS 85-01 VSA SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND 61-11 VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (IC) LOW VOLTAGE AND B-1240 - A PROBLEM IN THE MODE CONTROL LINKAGE DOOR OR MOTOR. THESE ERROR CODES DO NOT SEEM RELATED TO THE PUSH BUTTON START ISSUE, BUT IS ANOTHER PROBLEM TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX. THE PUSH BUTTON PROBLEM HAPPENS TO MANY PEOPLE AND HONDA IS AWARE OF IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED HIS INSIDE CONTACT AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY KEEP STARTERS ON HAND FOR THIS. THEY WILL NOT HANDLE AS A WARRANTY OR 'RECALL' TYPE PROBLEM AND ONE HAS TO PAY A LOT FOR THE FIX - STARTER REPLACEMENT CAN BE CLOSE TO $1K!! ANOTHER HONDA CONTACT KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE - IT IS BECAUSE THE STARTER ON THE ACCORD, ESPECIALLY THE 2.4L ENGINE, IS MOUNTED BELOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, HEATS UP SIGNIFICANTLY AND BEGINS TO FAIL - DEPENDS MORE ON THE # OF STARTS THAN MILEAGE, APPARENTLY. MY ACCORD IS STARTED MANY TIMES PER DAY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL EVENT, I BELIEVE, BUT I MUST GET MINE FIXED NOW!!! NOT GOOD! ALSO A PROBLEM FROM DAY 1, IS THE FORWARD WARNING CAMERA GETS HOT, HERE IN SOUTHERN CAL, AND WILL NOT WORK UNTIL THE AC SYSTEM COOLS IT DOWN. VERY UNSAFE AND WORTHY OF FURTHER REVIEW AS WELL. *JS

WHEN A CAR HAS AIR BAGS YOU NEVER KNOW IF THEY WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE A CRASH. WITH FCW, IF YOU DRIVE SAFELY THE ALARM SHOULD NEVER GO OFF. WITH OUR CAR THE FCW ALARM RARELY SOUNDS BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL IF YOU WERE GOING ABOUT 25 MPH OR LESS AND A CAR CLOSE AHEAD WOULD BE STOPPING OR TURNING RIGHT. MOST TIMES OUR FCW WOULD NOT SOUND BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOT FALSE SIGNALS AND YOU WONDERED WHY. AFTER TWO DEALER VISITS AND ONE FOR 3 1/2 DAYS THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE EXCEPT NOW WE DO NOT GET FALSE SIGNALS. THE HONDA LITERATURE SAYS OF FCW "..CAN SENSE THE PRESENCE OF VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU AND ISSUES ALERTS IF IT CALCULATES YOU ARE AT RISK OF A COLLISION.." THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WHAT WE EXPECT. AFTER THE SECOND DEALER VISIT AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE, THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND I DROVE OUR VEHICLE AND AT TIMES DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO A VEHICLE AHEAD INCLUDING LARGE TRUCKS AND THE FCW ALARM DID NOT SOUND. WE TRIED A VERY SIMILAR NEW CAR OFF THE LOT LIKE MINE AND DROVE IT THE SAME WAY. THE FCW DID NOT WORK AS EXPECTED. PER A SHEET THE DEALER GAVE ME FOR FCW, IT STATES THAT IT USES RADAR WITH A RANGE OF UP TO 393 FT. IF A CAR IS GOING UP TO 75 MPH WITH A CAR LENGTH (20') FOR EVERY 10 MPH FCW SHOULD SOUND THE ALARM UP TO 150' AND GOING FASTER THAN THE CAR AHEAD. OURS WILL NOT DO THAT AT ANY SPEED BELOW 75 AND GETTING TOO CLOSE GOING FASTER THAN THE ONE AHEAD UNTIL GOING ABOUT 25 OR UNDER THEN NOT ALWAYS. I SAY OUR FCW DOES NOT WORK. WHEN DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE DEALER AND A FACTORY REP THE SERVICE MANAGER NOW SAYS "IT IS YOUR PERCEPTION FCW DOES NOT WORK." I SAY FCW DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND BUYERS ARE BEING DECEIVED. WITH SELF DRIVING CARS AND ACC IS SHOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR HONDA TO FIX OR REPLACE OUR FCW SO THAT IT DOES WORK AND PURPORTED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO WARN OTHERS AND FIX IT. I WELCOME INSPECTORS TO TEST OUR FCW SYSTEM. *TR

UPON BEING HANDED THE KEYS TO MY BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICED A LOT OF SCRATCHES NEAR THE DOORS. I THOUGHT IT ODD SINCE IT'S A KEYLESS ENTRY CAR. THE SALESPERSON AGREED THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE SCRATCHES, AND SAID THOSE WOULD PROBABLY COME OUT, AND OFFERED ME A COURTESY "BUFFING." AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF MY NEW CAR, I NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PULLING ONTO THE STREET. I ALSO NOTICED IT TOOK MORE WORK TO STEER THE CAR THAN MY OTHER CAR WHICH I BOUGHT NEW FIVE YEARS AGO. I ALSO NOTICED SOME TAPE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT BUMPER THAT HADN'T BEEN REMOVED. IN ADDITION, THE TRUNK LID WASN'T ADJUSTED PROPERLY, SO IT CONTINUALLY FALLS DOWN WHEN I'M AT THE TRUNK AREA. NOW I AM WONDERING IF MY NEW CAR WAS NOT ONLY NOT "DETAILED," BUT NOT PROPERLY INSPECTED BEFORE "DELIVERY." FURTHERMORE, AT 16,000 MILES, IT NOW HAS A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE FRONT END. THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL). *TR

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THAT I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. I FINALLY GOT MY CAR INSPECTED A THIRD TIME AFTER CONTACTING HONDA CORPORATE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE RESET. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT. AFTER AN ALIGNMENT AND THE STEERING WHEEL RESET, THE VEHICLE STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY ARE REALLY USELESS. THEIR MOTTO "HELPFUL HONDA" IS THE BIGGEST LOAD HOT AIR EVER. THEY ARE HAVING SOMEONE FROM HONDA CORPORATE COME TO INSPECT THE CAR NOW. BUT THEY REFUSE TO WORK WITH ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME FOR IT TO BE BROUGHT FOR SERVICE. THE CAR IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 7000 MILES. ALL HONDA HAD TO SAY WAS TO CONTACT A THIRD PARTY. HEPLFUL, WAS NOTHING CLOSE TO THE SERVICE AND TREATMENT I RECEIVED FROM HONDA SO FAR. *TR

AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF DRIVING MY NEW 2014 HONDA, I FELT THE CAR SWAYING AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE INSPECTED IN AUGUST BECAUSE THE PULLING BECAME VERY SEVERE EVEN WHEN DRIVING 30MPH I COULD FEEL IT. THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND READJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT. THE CAR DROVE MUCH BETTER. A MONTH LATER NOW I FEEL THE CAR START TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE BUT STILL NOTICEABLE. I TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM BUT THEY SAID ITS FROM THE CROWN IN THE ROAD. NONE OF MY OTHER CARS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACT HONDA CORPORATE AND WAITING TO BE CONTACTED. I HAD TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUEST THE SERVICE DIRECTOR BECAUSE I FELT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS. *TR

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid purchased new, completed all routine and recommended maintenance over its life. - The passenger side drive shaft failed on May 5, 2025, pulling into our driveway, and it fell out of the bottom of the car onto the pavement. - The driver’s side drive shaft failed on December 4, 2025, leaving a shopping center parking lot, and it fell out of the bottom of the car onto the pavement. Attached are photos of both driveshafts, which clearly show the similarities in the failures. I have the parts for the driver’s side in my possession and am happy to furnish them for analysis. These failures are catastrophic in that the vehicle was rendered undrivable with a loss of control without warning. This vehicle is used daily for highway commuting and had this failure occurred on the highway at 65 mph, I believe it would have caused a serious crash of this vehicle and likely caused a multi-vehicle accident given the sudden nature of the failure and the lack of control the vehicle experienced upon failure. Honda Service Bulletin 20-125 appears to address a very similar concern for Honda Accord “CVT models.” The photos and inspection area listed in that bulletin seem to indicate that my car experienced a similar failure (Bulletin attached); however, I was told by the dealership that my VIN was not subject to the recall. I believe the vehicle is subject to a similar defect as described in the Service Bulletin for other Honda Accord models and believe it should be investigated and included in the recall. These failures have cost $2,279.47 in repair fees, approximately $400 in emergency towing and do not seem to be in line with routine maintenance or "wear and tear".

The EPS on my 2014 Honda Accord EX-L did not perform its primary functions. Such as steering. The steering wheel became very difficult to move. The wheel was extremely stiff and vibrated at the slightest attempt to turn in either direction. I am grateful this did not happen while I was driving on the road.

While driving the car at approx 45mph on a busy roadway the vehicle suddenly accelerated heavily I tried applying the breaks but the pedal did not go down and had no affect of slowing the vehicle. I was forced to swerve around several vehicles to avoid a collision then just as suddenly the car returned to normal operation. The duration on the incident was approx 5 to 10 seconds. Very dangerous and very scary.

I am a huge Honda fan and I’ve only owned Accords and I have friends with the same body style Accord as mine. Every last one of us have failed or malfunctioning ABS modules as well as continuous catalytic converter issues. I have exhausted my bank account and the issue still presents itself. Due to the failure of the converter, my car is now stalling only when the AC is running in the vehicle. I feel these issues are common and a true safety do driving due to stalling and ABS braking malfunctions.

I am writing to report a persistent and dangerous safety defect in my 2014 Honda Accord involving the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) / ABS / ABS modulator / ABS ECU system. The ABS, VSA, and other warning lights have been on for years, first noticing around 60-70,000 miles indicating an ongoing fault in the system. The dealer has diagnosed a bad ABS/VSA modulator and/or ECU and stated this is a common issue and that often this part is on backorder. Most recently, while turning the car, the system locked or mis applied the brakes, causing the car to lose control and spin out. Luckily I did not crash as the car behind me was at a safe distance, but I ended up on the side of the highway in a dangerous situation. The Center for Auto Safety shows multiple complaints for 2014 Accord, including: ABS, VSA, traction control, stability control failures; owners say they were told a VSA modulator needs replacing Owners report DTC codes like 81‑19 (“yaw rate sensor internal circuit malfunction”) and 81‑20 (ABS CPU internal circuit malfunction) in 2014 Accords. Owners report ABS and VSA not functioning, lights all on, and concerns that braking or stability control will fail, especially in poor conditions. Given the large number of similar reports for this model and year, this appears to be a systemic defect in the ABS/VSA modulator/ECU system in 2013‑to‑2017 Honda Accords, including 2014. Because this is a safety system (brakes, stability control), the defect creates a real risk of crash, injury, or death. I request that NHTSA: Open a formal investigation into the ABS/VSA modulator/ECU failures in 2014 Accords (and related years). Determine whether a recall is needed. Require Honda to provide fixed or replacement units without cost to owners or reimbursment Ensure parts are available (i.e. not back‑ordered) and that the repair is effective and safe.

'TAKATA RECALL' RECENTLY I PURCHASED A 2014 HONDA ACCORD FROM A DEALERSHIP WHICH MADE THIS MY FIRST CAR EVER. EVERYTHING WAS GOING RIGHT UP UNTIL 3 MONTHS OF ME HAVING THE CAR. MY BRAKES WENT OUT WITHOUT ME KNOWING BECAUSE SOMEONE FROM THAT DEALERSHIP BROKE OFF THE LITTLE CHIP THAT MAKES THE SQUEAKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPEN SHOWING THEM THE EVIDENCE AND THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE I WAS LYING WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 16 I ENDED UP HAVING A BLOWOUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR AND MESSED MY FRONT FENDER UP. TWO(2)MONTHS AFTER THAT IN MARCH I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BATTERY BECAUSE THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR HAD DIED OUT. PRIOR TO THAT I NEVER KNEW THE ALTERNATIVE WAS THE REASON FOR THE BATTERY TO CONSTANTLY DIE OUT. ON MARCH 15 2018 I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW AND EVEN INSPECT MY CAR WHEN ONE OF THE MANAGER CAME TO TALK TO ME HE SAID THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS ONLY 30DAYS. NOW NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT A WARRANTY HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW OR KNEW ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE GOING TO HAPPEN. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T HAVE ONE AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HELP ME WITH MY CAR. MAY 10 2018 MY FRIEND FOUND OUT SHE HAD A RECALL ON HER STARTER AND WENT AND GOT ANOTHER ONE. NOW WHEN I LOCKED UP THE HONDA RECALLS I SEEN THERE WERE TWO: ONE FOR THE BATTERY AND THE SECOND WAS FOR THE STARTER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN LEAVING VOICEMAILS AFTER VOICEMAIL UNTIL I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE AND JUST WENT UP THERE. AS I WALK IN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE PERSON WHO WAS IN A HIRE POSITION. AS WE ARE TALKING HE ASK ME HOW LONG I HAD THE CAR, HOW MANY MILES, AND THE QUESTION OF ALL WHEN IS YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRED. AFTER HE FOUND OUT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME. I PAY 400 AND HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR YET.

The ABS modulator assembly has a Yaw Rate Sensor (Code 81-19) internal circuit malfunction that affects the anti-lock braking system. The ABS uses pressure from the ABS pump to pulse each wheel's brakes individually if the vehicle slides or skids when braking. This part needs to function properly in slick and icy conditions for safe braking distance, etc. It seems that this part has failed in other countries on a routine basis and is becoming a problem for different Honda models and years. The failure of this component is also not consistent with mileage factors (meaning it fails at low, intermediate, and high mileage). I believe there should be a recall for this issue.

I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SERVICE WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THEM SINCE 2015. MY CAR TIRES GOT BURSTED THIS YEAR(2017) AND I WENT WITH MY INSURANCE THROUGH HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER TO FIX THE SAME. DURING JAN 2017, THE HONDA CHECKED ALL MY TIRES AS PER MY INSURANCE FIXES ONLY 2 TIRES AND NEVER REPORTED ANY ISSUES WITH MY OTHER 2 TIRES. EVEN THE SERVICE STATION, WHERE I HAD BEEN DOING MY SERVICE SINCE 2015, DID NOT SUGGEST OR DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, PROACTIVELY, I DID MY TIRE ALIGNMENT @ 26000 MILES, WHEN HONDA OF CONCORD COLLISION CENTER REPLACED MY TIRES. AFTER THAT I HAVE DONE TIRE ROTATIONS, ROUTINE CHECK WITH OIL FILLS WITH HONDA OF CONCORD SERVICE STATION. SINCE MY SERVICE, IN THE PAST ONE MONTH, I HAD MY TPMS LIGHT ON FOR 3 TIMES, EVERY TIME I CALLED HONDA, THEY ASKED ME TO RESET IT MYSELF IN THE CAR, WHICH I DID. BUT, I FELT BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES AROUND 36 K MILES, I CALLED IN HONDA FOR APPOINTMENT SEP 2017. TODAY, WHEN I DROPPED MY CAR, HONDA SERVICE GUYS CALLED ME AND SAID, I OWN RESPONSIBILITY IN CHANGING MY TIRES WHICH HAS WEAR AND TEAR COVER TILL 60 K MILES AND I SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE BRAKES AT REAR END, FLUIDS, ETC ETC.. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT MY WARRANTY ON TIRES AND BRAKES.. THEY WERE RELUCTANT AND SAID ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAD GIVEN CAR FOR SERVICE ONLY A MONTH BACK, WHERE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK EVERYTHING AND I BELIEVE, THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING, SINCE THEY ARE REPORTING ME NOW TO DRIVE AS UNSAFE AND NOT AT THE TIME OF TIRE ROTATION OR CHECKS. THIS IS VERY BAD AND DINT EXPECT FROM HONDA

Vehicle drives fine but a week ago the steering, traction, ABS, & brake lights all lit up on my Accord's dashboard. Took car to our regular mechanic, who then conducted diagnostic testing. This in turn, indicated that the ABS control module is the cause. Steering, traction, & braking are quite vital in the safe manuerving of stopping & controlling a vehicle in motion. If unable to manageable do so, I, as well as many others are potentially at risk.

I HAVE 4 WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BRAKE,TRACTION,STEERING AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS TO DUE WITH A FAULTY ABS CONTROL MODULE. THE PART HAS BEEN SOLD OUT FOR SOME TIME.

THE LIGHT ARE ALWAYS ON THE CAR DRIVES FINE BUT I'M WORRIED BECAUSE IT CONTROLS ALL OF THE SAFETY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR.

OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD (PURCHASED "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED") HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. FIRST OF ALL THE CAR HAS 53,000 MILES. HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY; SINCE REPLACING THE BATTERY, A MYRIAD OF LIGHTS COME AND GO ON THE DASH FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH. NOW THE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON - BRAKE, ABS, FCW, LDW, STEERING ASSIST. DEALER SAYS "PROBABLY" THE ABS MODULE ($1400). LAUNCHED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA AMERICA - THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED. MY QUESTION(S) WERE (A) BY SPENDING $1400, IS THIS GOING TO FIX IT OR WILL IT "PROBABLY" FIX IT. (B) HOW LONG BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN?- KEEP IN MIND THE FIRST ONE LASTED 53,000 MILES (C) HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS? NO ANSWERS TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED; THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CLEAR WAS THAT IT WASN'T A WIDESPREAD ISSUE BECAUSE THE NHSTA OR HONDA HADN'T ISSUED ANY KIND OF TSB OR RECALL. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEWHAT TELLING WHEN I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, SPOKE WITH THE DESK PERSON IN SERVICE. WHILE OVER THE PHONE, EXPLAINED THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON - THE ANSWER OF "IT'S THE ABS MODULE" WAS INSTANT. FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T "COMMON" OR WIDESPREAD, THIS WAS A VERY QUICK REPLY. ALSO A GOOGLE SEARCH TURNS UP OTHER ISSUES JUST LIKE THE ONE WE ARE HAVING. JUST WONDER HOW SAFE THIS IS?

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Computer System Firmware, available for inspection, currently at dealership. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Multiple dashboard functions not functioning at random. Appears related to a firmware update provided under another recall (Bulletin 15-055:6ZS00EPS Software Update). It is suspected due to timing of incident onset, beginning the day after service. Firmware was installed by dealership service dept. It is unknown at this time all of the buttons affected. Since buttons on steering wheel are affected, and cruise control is also located there, this could pose a severe hazard if cruise control does not respond to a disable request. Cell Phone, radio, display change functions do not work from dashboard. There was a follow up software update (on same EPS system) performed by dealership on June 30, 2020 that improved condition for one day, returning to same issues on the 2nd drive. Details of this update: previous version: 39990-T2F-A010 Update program: 39990-T2F-A020 program part number: 39990-T2F-3050-M1in control module 39980-T2F-A014 Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Jim at the dealership confirmed the issue within 30 seconds of his investigation. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, dealership service center. Will be at dealership 2022-07-11 to 2022-07-15 (estimated) Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No prior indication until a dashboard function is used. First appeared 2022-05-17

ALL 2013-2016 HONDA ACCORDS WITH V6 ENGINES AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVE A DESIGN FAILURE THAT CAUSES THE STARTER AND TORQUE CONVERTER TO GRIND INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL THEY FAIL. THIS DESIGN FAILURE CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND CAN LEAD TO THE OWNER STRANDED. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $4,000 . MY FAILURE STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH LESS THEN 50,000 MILES. I'VE HAD TO PAY FOR 3 NEW STARTERS AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOW THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT A VERY HIGH RATE ON THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WON'T ALIGN AND EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS REPLACED THE PROBLEM WILL STILL OCCUR BECAUSE OF THE CLEARANCE FAILURE DUE A MANUFACTURER DESIGN ISSUE.

MY 2014 ACCORD EX SEDAN IS ON RECALL NOTICE AND I AM HAVING A FINAL REPAIR ON THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENOR NEXT WEEK. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I AM EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY TRYING TO START MY CAR. WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES THE CARE DOES NOT START. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE NOV. 2013 AND HAVE ONLY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ALL SYMBOLS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT UP AND QUICKLY GO OFF AND I GET A NOTICE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "POWER IS ON": WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN 1-3 TIMES, THE CAR STARTS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH STALLING OR CUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. MY BATTERY IS ONLY 2 YR. OLD. AND IT WAS JUST CHECKED LAST MONTH AND THE CHARGE WAS OK. CLEARLY THERE IS A SHORT AFFECTING IGNITION OF THE IGNITION OF THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED HAS SO FAR ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I ONLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND IS QUITE DISTURBING; IT CAN BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS ISSUED HONDA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAMPAIGNS F/ RECALL NOTICES FOR OTHER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT YET FOR MY 2014 SEDAN. IT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. FROM REVIEWING THE NHTSA COMPLAINT DATABASE IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NHTSA AND HONDA AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS COMPLAINT BE EXPEDITIOUSLY INVESTIGATED AND THE PROBLEM FOR MY CAR AND IS RECOGNIZED AS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE HONDA PRODUCTS FOR MANY YEARS AND HONDA FIGURE OUT A PERMANENT SOLUTION. I AM REQUESTING THAT HONDA COVERS THE COST OF PARTS/LABOR TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I AM PAST THE REGULAR WARRANTY PERIOD (EXCEPT I AM STILL WITHIN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ) THIS WEEK (NOVEMBER 13 TO 11/17) PROBLEM OCCURRED 4 TIMES.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WILL AT TIMES NOT START AND ONLY MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE START BUTTON, THIS STILL OCCURRING AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY AND STARTER TWICE IN ADDITION TO THE FOB BATTERY. I SPECULATE THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ISSUE AS SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START AFTER PUMPING/PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIMES OR JUST HOLDING IT AFTER INITIAL ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR (VERY FRUSTRATING). NEW ISSUE INVOLVES THE CAR STARTING WHILE ONLY PRESSING THE BRAKE AND MOVING THE GEAR SHIFTER (DANGEROUS AS A KID CAN START THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PRESSING THE START BUTTON). HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA (LOCAL/CALIFORNIA MAIN) AND SPOKE TO A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE YESTERDAY (5/7/2019) TO NO AVAIL. PLEASE ISSUES A RECALL FOR THESE CARS HAVING THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR WORSE, LOOSES THEIR LIVES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND IS ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS, LAST EVEN WAS TODAY.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START WHEN YOU PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND ONLY CLICKS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THE CAR STALLS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR RAIL ROAD CROSSING AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STARTED. TO START THE VEHICLE (KEYLESS W/FOB), YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE START BUTTON. IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AND THE STARTING OF THE CAR MAY BE PART OF THE ISSUE AS WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL MORE LIKELY START WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT VS. HARD. NOT SURE IF THE ISSUE IS ISOLATED TO THE START BUTTON, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, BOTH OR THE ELECTRONICS THAT INTERACTS WHEN THESE TWO. ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY PROVIDE WITH THIS ISSUE IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

MY CAR HAS BEEN TO HONDA TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS JUNE 20TH AT 5PM AT WHOLE FOODS IN PHOENIX. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER THEN DIE. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO HONDA (IT STARTED AND DROVE). I PICKED IT UP AT 5PM, THEY STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. AS I'M SITTING IN THE CAR AT HONDA THE CAR DIED AND WOULDN'T START. THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE STARTER AND REPLACED IT AND I PICKED UP THE CAR FRIDAY JUNE 23RD. THE CAR WAS FINE UNTIL SUNDAY AROUND 3PM AT SAFEWAY ON PHOENIX WHERE THE CAR WOULD START AND THEN DIE. I TOOK AN UBER HOME AND SCHEDULED A TOW.

I TOWED IT BACK TO HONDA ON JUNE 28TH TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND I DID NOT GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL JULY 8TH. ON MY WAY TO WORK TUESDAY JULY 11TH THE CAR DIED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY INTERCHANGE BETWEEN I10W AND I17N AND WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE (THERE'S BARELY A SHOULDER) AND WAIT FOR A TOW AS THE CAR WOULD NO START. I WAS TOWED TO SHOWCASE HONDA WHERE THE CAR IS NOW. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS MORE THAN JUST AN INCONVENIENCE IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE.

THE REST OF THE WINDSHIELD APPEARED DARK AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THRU. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT WHAT I ENCOUNTERED WAS NORMAL BECAUSE HONDA USES A LOOK DOWN HEADLIGHT SYSTEM, IN FACT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HIS WIFE ONLY DROVE WITH THE BRITES ON IN DARK AREAS BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT SEE THRU THE WINDSHIELD.

About a year ago, I was driving my car on the highway and it jerked and started smoking. At that same time, my forward collision warning came on. After doing a quick google search, I found I was not the only one with this issue. Honda Dealership told me I needed a new VSA modulator that cost thousands of dollars. I finally was able to get it fixed, and now (today 5/11/25) less than a few months after getting a new VSA modulator, the same thing happened. This needs to be an official recall. It is a safety hazard.

I am reporting that there are three things that needs to be addressed on the 2014 Honda Accord. 1. The drivers side seat, deflates and it consistantly has to be pumped back up while driving. 2. I've had to purchase (4) new car batteries for this 2014 Honda Accord that I own since I purchased it in 2016. That's unacceptable especially when there has been a recalled by Honda, on the 2016, for a battery senior issue? 3 The brakes on my 2014 Honda Accord car is most dangerous. When the brake is engaged and pressed hard, the brake fills with air and barely stops the car. I replaced the pad and rototes and it did not change a thing. Please have someone to check these things as well. I. The other Honda Accords are having issues with a Battery Senior then I am sure it's something in this 2014 that is killing my battery. The seat should not be deflating either and the brakes should not be barley stopping, when that is most important.

My 2014 Honda has been have 2 major issues over the life of the vehicle. 1. VTC Actuator - prior to the oil indicator light coming on and the time to change the oil, my car screams out a loud consistent noise. I have reported this concern to Team Honda in Baton Rouge on numerous occasions. The most recent repost was on [XXX]. I am concerned my engine will fail or explode. 2. Tires Light Indicator (See Pictures) My tires were check on [XXX] and I spent almost $300 on a new tire. The same light which were on on that day came back on. All 4 of my tires were checked out and 3 out of 4 of them were in good condition. This has also been an ongoing issue. The tire light random come on, then the other 5 (all related) flashed an the dashboard. My first time experiencing this was less than a month after getting my vehicle but the tires was still covered under warranty at that time. By these lights coming on during non-emergencies, the consumer can not identify when the vehicle actually needed to be serviced. Both has been ongoing and reported for years and fed up with these issues. I am surprised they have not issued a recall yet!

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,WHEELS
1 complaint
The ABS, VSA, EPS, and the parking brake systems began to appear on my dashboard. After diagnostics, it appeared that the VSA modulator was failing to provide all these components that are needed for safety in all driving conditions. After doing some research, I came to know that the modulator failure is very common in the Honda Accord models from year 2010 and above. Yet, Honda has yet to recall vehicles for this issue that affects the brake and steering systems. So far, the lights continuously appear and disappear. However, there is a huge difference when the intermittent lights appear. The car swerves too easily on rainy days when running through a puddle on the street. Even on windy days, sometimes it cannot handle when I am driving against the wind. The car's steering system feels too vulnerable and sensitive when these lights are on given that I have none of that systems providing the extra safety components. I fear that one day when I have to brake suddenly to prevent I crash, I will lose control instead and cause a fatal accident. The part is too expensive and total costs can reach up to $3,000 or more, and like everyone else who has reported this issue. I cannot afford to repair it as of now, but will need to be on a day where the financials can support the repair.

1. Im experiencing an ABS module failure (Honda calls it VSA module). 2. When the system messed up it causes my traction control and anti-lock brakes to turn off. 3. The problem has been reproduced as it keeps randomly turning all of the systems on and off randomly, multiple times during a single drive. 4. It has not been inspected by any of the people listed. 5. Nothing prior to the failure just all of a sudden my dashboard indicated that my electronic steering system, ABS, forward collision warning system, lane departure warning system, and tire pressure monitoring system all shut down. When the codes were read it all leads back to a failure in the ABS/VSA module. Reading articles online has shown me others that have had this issue has made me realize this is a very large number of vehicles affected and could cause great bodily harm or death to occupants or others on the roadway. Attached in the photo section i have supplied pictures of the codes currently on the vehicles computer. I have cleared the codes and the failure immediately came back and all safety systems turned back off.

Brakes- rear calipers wear uneven on the inside pad 5mm outer and 1mm on inner. This is a safety hazard because seeing the outer pad still was in specifications that I did not need to replace them just yet. Got my car completely inspected due to grinding noise and found that the inner pad was metal to metal ruined my rotor costing me more money as well as if I hadn’t gotten it inspected could have caused an accident. Headlights- new battery installed and headlights still flicker sometimes even completely turn off, I have to pull over and bang on the housing to get them to power back on. That is also a risk to my safety and others if they are to completely turn off again in the night time others won’t see me. Not the only time it has happened. I’ve ran recalls on my vin but dealer said there was no open recalls.

A strange thing occurred while I was dropping my grandchildren to school on 3/30/22 at 8:45 AM. After dropping off the kids, as I started the car in the car drop off lane, there was no acceleration despite me hitting the accelerator, the car would not accelerate, and cars exiting the school parking lot backed up behind my car. Suddenly, the car accelerated in an uncontrolled manner on its own, brakes did not work, and all warning lights on the side of the dashboard came on. I steered the car towards an empty area and was ready to crash it into an obstacle to bring it to a stop. I tried to put the car in park but despite putting it in park, the car continued its acceleration forward. I also tried to turn off the car by hitting the start/stop button but the car would not turn off. The car accelerated uncontrollably for at least 0.3 miles. After this uncontrolled and automatic acceleration, the car came to a stop. I had the car towed to the Honda dealership. Honda dealership advisor told me that there was no recall on this model. However, a quick search on car message boards shows that this phenomenon of sudden and uncontrolled acceleration has been reported on 2014, and 2015 and 2016 Honda Accord model year cars as well. Fortunately, no children or their parents in the school were injured this time. I hope you will direct the Honda dealership to identify and fix the problem. I am afraid to drive the car without understanding the reason for this frightening experience.

SOMETIMES THEY GO OFF AFTER I START DRIVING BUT THEN THEY EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON. I LOOKED ON GOOGLE AND IT APPEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS STATING THERE WAS SOME KIND OF FAULTY BOX THINGY THAT IS USED TO COMMUNICATE BETWEEN THE LIGHTS GOING OFF AND THE CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET SOMEONE TO DO ALL OF THIS AND IF THERE ARE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DID HONDA USE A FAULTY PART AS OTHERS ARE SAYING? PLEASE HELP

DRIVER ENTERED CAR AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING. CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE AND LIGHT ACCELERATOR PRESSURE WAS APPLIED APPROPRIATE FOR MOVING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. CAR PROCEEDED TO ADVANCE SLOWLY AT FIRST BUT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE AMOUNT OF RAPID AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS INCONSISTENT AND DISPROPORTIONATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND EFFORT THAT WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR WHEN ADVANCING FROM THE PARKING SPACE. THREE (3) PEDESTRIANS WERE EITHER HIT DIRECTLY BY THE CAR OR THE RESULTANT DEBRIS FROM THE ACCIDENT. TWO (2) REQUIRED MEDICAL CARE/HOSPITALIZATION. ADDITIONALLY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE GROCERY STORE AND VEHICLE. THE COST TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN APPRAISED AT ABOUT $9,500. THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF INJURIES TO PEDESTRIANS AND DAMAGE TO BUILDING HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD ACCORDING TO PUBLIC NHTSA DATABASE REPORTING HAS EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 17 SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTS (SAE) ATTRIBUTED TO FAILED VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WITH STRIKINGLY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE MONTH AFTER OUR VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. I HAD TROUBLE TURNING MY CAR ON FOR THE TIME WHEN I WAS AT WORK (ABOUT AN 8 MILE DRIVE FROM HOME).. I DROVE TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES AND ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER OF IT BEING STATIONARY, IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. I TRIED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE OVERNIGHT AND CALL SOMEONE TO PICK ME UP. I WAS LUCKY THAT I REALIZED IT WASN'T WORKING DURING LUNCH. I USUALLY GOT OFF FROM WORK AT 6PM WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT IN THE OFFICE AND IF I DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE ON ME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALONE THERE IN AN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. .THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE STARTER AND SEEING HOW IT WAS A 3 YEAR CAR WITH NOT ENOUGH MILES TO WARRANT STARTER PROBLEMS, THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE. WE TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE CHARGES. WE PAID FOR A NEW STARTER OUT OF POCKET AND IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. NOW THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK. ONE DAY IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I TYPICALLY DRIVE WITH MY MOM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHE OFTEN GETS ANXIETY ATTACKS. THE WIND MAKES HER FEEL BETTER AND WHEN AN EPISODE WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED, I WASN'T ABLE TO PUT HER WINDOW DOWN TO HELP HER. THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ON THE CAR IS ALSO BROKEN. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT RIGHT AWAY SINCE THE RIGHT ONE WORKS. IN A SENSE, IT'S TERRIBLE THAT SOMETHING IN THE CAR WAS BROKEN AND THAT THERE WAS NO CAR SIGNAL TO NOTIFY ME. WE REALIZE THAT CARS REQUIRE UPKEEP, BUT FOR A 5 YEAR OLD CAR TO HAVE THIS MANY MECHANICAL ISSUES IS RIDICULOUS. I REALIZE THAT THESE

THEY ALSO DID A SYSTEM UPDATE.SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. 1ST WAS A CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS MY ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY, BUT THEY SAID WAS NOTHING. THREE DAYS AGO I GOT INTO MY CAR TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START STATED " FCW SYSTEM FAILED" AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS ITS STARTED BUT ACCELERATION WOULD NOT RESPOND. RMP STAYED BELOW 2000 EVEN WITH MY FOOT DEEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR FOR 20 MINS , THEN IT ACCELERATOR CAME BACK. BUT FWC AND ALL SERVICE LIGHTS STAYED ON. WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY ALL LIGHTS WENT AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. TODAY I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE ACCELERATION OCCUR AGAIN. WHILE ON THE HIGH WAY IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. MADE IT HOME SAFE. AS I WAS ABOUT TO GET IN MY CAR AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. CAR HAS POWER BUT IS NOT STARTING. AT ONE POINT OF TRYING TO START MY MPH GAGED WAS FLICKING, EVEN AFTER I RELEASE THE START BUTTON. IVE READ MANY REPORTS BY CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FWC FAIL AS WELL AS THE STARTER SYSTEM. BASE ON MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT ONLY HONDA ACCORD 2014 HAVING THIS ISSUE. HONDA CANT SEEM TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS BAD. WHATEVER THE CAUSE MAY BE HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS. I WAS LEFT STRANDED WITH NO HELP AND NO ONE TO CALL ON.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO LA DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX, SOUTHBOUND ON HWY 5. AFTER ABOUT 3 HOURS OF DRIVING, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING ABOUT 72 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE LEFT. I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN WITH THE BRAKE AND FOUGHT WITH THE CAR TRYING TO GET IT TO GO STRAIGHT HOWEVER THE CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO STOP THE CAR FROM GOING TO THE LEFT HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT COOPERATE AND WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD, BOTH LANES. IT CONTINUED TO SWERVE LEFT INTO THE RIGHT LANE CAUSING IT TO SPIN BACKWARDS OFF THE ROAD AND INTO THE DIRT. I STILL WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR AS IT CONTINUED THEN ROLLED OVER. I WAS UPSIDE DOWN AND TRAPPED IN MY CAR. MY FEET WERE UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY BODY WAS LENGTHWISE ACROSS THE PASSENGER SEAT....MY SEAT BELT STILL ON. I UNBUCKLED AND TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR WHICH I COULD NOT OPEN. MY CELL PHONE WAS ON A CHARGER AND WAS STILL WITHIN REACH SO I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 (9:35AM) AND TOLD DISPATCH I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND ANOTHER MOTORIST HAD ALREADY CALLED IT IN. THE CHP OFFICER WAS ABLE TO PULL THE DOOR OPEN. I HAD A TOWEL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH WAS NOW UNDER ME SO I HANDED IT TO HIM TO LAY OVER THE GLASS, I WAS THEN ABLE TO CRAWL OUT OF MY CAR. MY HANDS WERE BLEEDING ESPECIALLY ONE SPOT ON MY LEFT HAND THAT WOULDN'T STOP SO THE OFFICER GOT OUT HIS EMERGENCY BAG AND HANDED ME GAUZE TO PUT ON MY HAND. EVENTUALLY THE BLEEDING STOPPED. THE CHP SAID HE HAS SEEN ACCIDENTS LIKE MINE AND THE OUTCOME WAS NOT GOOD. 2014 HONDA ACCORDS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES. COMPLAINTS STATE 'CAR PULLING TO THE LEFT'.

OUR 2014 HONDA ACCORD HAD SOME ROAD DEBRIS PUNCTURE A HOLE IN THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET THERE IS A DESIGN FLOW THAT HONDA HAS KNOW ABOUT FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. WE SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPT OF LIA HONDA , PO BOX 1110, ENFIELD CT 06083 AND THEY SAID THAT THE CONDENSER WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE PURCHASED FOR $1340 WHEN BE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER REPLACEMENT AND CALL IT AN ACT OF GOD WHEN DEBRIS FLIES UP AND PUT A HOLE IN THE AC CONDENSER. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE PART FOR $476 DOLLARS. I PREFER MY MECHANIC BECAUSE I KNOW AND TRUST HIM, AND HE DOES THE WORK FOR HALF AS MUCH. HONDA DEALERS ARE SCAMMING THEIR CUSTOMERS OUT OF $800-$1000 TO REPLACE PART THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN FLAW. I AM TIRED OF BEING TAKEN OF ADVANTAGE OF BY BIG COMPANIES AND UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT FORCES THEM TO PAY UP, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO STICK IT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I GUESS THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS SWITCH BACK TO TOYOTA, AND LEAST THE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE TO DEAL WITH THEIR RUST ISSUES.

WHEN BRAKING, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DECIDES TO SPONTANEOUSLY, VIOLENTLY, AND UNEXPECTEDLY TAKE CONTROL AND LOCK-UP THE BRAKES CAUSING THE PASSENGERS TO BE THROWN FORWARD AND THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A MANNER NOT EXPECTED BY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC (OR THE DRIVER). THIS PUTS THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS AT RISK OF REAR-END COLLISION. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE PERCEIVES A NEARBY OBJECT AS A HAZARD (IE VEHICLE AHEAD MIGHT SLOW TO TURN RIGHT,, VEHICLE IN NEXT LANE APPEARS TO BE TRAVELING AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED, WHEN CHANGING LANES TO PASS A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE IN THE LANE DRIVER IS DEPARTING). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I SEE AT LEASE FOUR SIMILAR CASES FILED ON THE NHTSA SITE (10892728, 10895657, 10521912, 10503138), ALSO IN 2013 AND LATER HONDA ACCORDS. *TR

WE HAVE HAD OUR2014HONDAACCORDFOR JUST ONE YEAR. ALL OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD AND BACK BY THE TRUNK DOOR. THE TRUNK DOES NOT STAY OPEN ON EVEN A MODEST GRADE, BUT DOES NOT FALL DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, CLOSE DOWN SUDDENLY WITH A LIGHT WIND NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE TO LEAN INTO THE TRUNK BEFORE IT HITS THEM. INJURY TO DEATH COULD HAPPEN ANYTIMES FROM THE TRUNK LID LOCK. I HAVE OWNED 10 CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ONE WHERE THE TRUNK LID WILL NOT REMAIN UP.

TAKATA RECALL:MY CAR WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF ONLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I GOT BACK IN, TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. I WAS ON A CITY ST, SO I WALKED TO AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, GOT A JUMP, IT STARTED UP AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I CALLED HONDA, GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP START THE CAR, DROVE TO HONDA, LEFT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. HONDA CALLED ME STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, BUT THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS, CHARGED ME $160. I PICKED UP THE CAR, DROVE IT HOME, THEN 2 DAYS LATER, THE CAR DIED OUT AGAIN. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I GOT THE CAR JUMPED IN ORDER TO TAKE IT BACK TO HONDA. THIS TIME, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 3 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME THIS TIME THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A BATTERY. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR A BATTERY, SENT THE MANAGER AN EMAIL IN REFERENCE TO THE FINDINGS THAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINING, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND NOW I PAID FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR STILL CUT OFF. DID I REALLY NEED THE SENSORS OR WAS IT THE BATTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE? THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AT NO CHARGE. .

AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM. AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM. DEALER UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM ON 2 (3 HR) VISITS. HONDA HQ REPORTS: WEIGHT TO TRIGGER SENSOR IS < 60LBS. WARNING LIGHT THAT AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT AIR BAG IS OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY. LIGHT MUST BE ON WHEN DEALER CHECKS AS HONDA COMPUTER DOES NOT STORE ANY ERROR CODES OR CONDITIONS, ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL LIGHT COME ON THEN GO TO DEALER. I OBJECTED AS PASSENGER IS AT RISK OF LIFE THAT THE AIR BAG WILL PROVIDE NO PROTECTION IN EVENT OF COLLISION. HONDA STATED POLICY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE SENSOR UNLESS IT FAILS IN TEST AT DEALER ' THAT IS, PERMANENTLY BAD, NOT INTERMITTANT. HONDA HQ AGENT THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE SHE/HONDA COULD DO. I SAID YES, REPLACE ANY SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO ON, AND CHECK LIGHT FOR FAULTY WIRING. RESPONSE: WE'RE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT. (HONDA HQ CASE # 05056884)

I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT AT 2 MPH OR LESS, AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP, THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD OUT OF MY CONTROL, ACROSS THE CONCRETE BARRIER, OVER A WALKWAY AND INTO THE WALL OF A RESTAURANT, WHERE IT STALLED. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO REVERSE IT AWAY FROM THE CRASH. FORTUNATELY NO-ONE WAS HURT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE WALL OF THE RESTAURANT. THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN MARCH 2014. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ENGINE ROARED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, AND I CRASHED ACROSS A PATH AND THROUGH A WOODEN FENCE. THE DAMAGE THEN WAS $10K. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP'S COLLISION CENTER, WHICH REPORTED ONLY THAT "NO DEFECTS IN MATERIALS OR FACTORY WORKMANSHIP WERE FOUND." THERE ARE AT LEAST 11 OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS STRING, AND IT IS CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE 2014 HONDA ACCORD WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE. HONDA ACCORD 2014.LAST NIGHT MY WINDOWS AND SUNROOF AUTOMATICALLY OPENED; THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, SEE BELOW. THE OPENING OF THE WINDOWS OCCURRED DURING A RAIN STORM AND MY BRAND NEW HONDA IS FILLED WITH WATER. THE DASH IS BLANK AND THE PHOB KEY RADIO SEARCHING LIGHT IS NOT BLINKING; SO THERE WAS A SHORT THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED BELOW, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM BECAUSE I KEPT THINKING THEY WERE JUST RANDOM LITTLE ISSUES BUT THEY WERE PRECURSORS TO THIS VERY BIG ISSUE. MY CAR IS TOTALED!!! PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL STUFF AND SAVE YOUR LIFE AND GET RID OF YOUR CAR. MY TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENED, PARKED AND DRIVING. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, EVEN AFTER BEING RESET AND TIRES CHECKED. I'D GET IN MY CAR AND FIND THE SUNROOF PARTIALLY OPENED OVER NIGHT.

5/1/2014HESITATION (UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION) OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED. WHEN THE CAR IS AT A LOW SPEED AND MORE POWER IS NEEDED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED THERE IS NO RESPONSE INITIALLY; ACCELERATOR IS THEN PRESSED MORE AND THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A JERKY, ON/OFF TYPE ACTION. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GENTLY AND HAVING THE CAR ACCELERATE MORE THAN EXPECTED (IN A PARKING LOT OR HEAVY SLOW TRAFFIC ETC). *TR

TO: NHTSA I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD IN MARCH 2014 AND SOON AFTER I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT FOR REPAIR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK ME ON A TEST DRIVE TO HEAR THE NOISE AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE RATTLING NOISE IS NOT ALWAYS PRESENT AND IT COMES UNPREDICTABLY THEREFORE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE IT AND REPLICATE THE NOISE WHICH IS SOMETIMES NOT POSSIBLE. I HAVE RECORDINGS OF THE NOISE AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT TO FIX THE CAR. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE HAD PERSONALLY TOLD ME THAT IT IS A DEFECT AND THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION FOR IT AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEIR ENGINEERING FIGURES OUT A FIX. I HIRED A LEMON LAWYER A FEW MONTHS AGO TO HELP ME. I AM INFURIATED THAT HONDA IS OFFERING ME TO SETTLE BY PAYING ME ?SOME MONIES FOR MY TROUBLE? WITHOUT GOING TO TRIAL BUT THEY STILL ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE CAR. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA IS ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH I EXPRESSED SAFETY CONCERNS AND EVEN WORSE THEY TRY TO PUT A PRICE TAG TO SETTLE FOR MY SAFETY INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 22- 23, 2015, I FEEL LIKE THIS APPOINTMENT IS TOO FAR AND THE MORE I DRIVE THIS CAR THE HIGHER RISK IT POSSES FOR MY SAFETY. MY EXPERIENCE WITH HONDA HAS BEEN AN APPALLING ONE SO FAR AND I WANT TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE PROCESS. AFTER HONDA?S HISTORY AND PENALTY OF WRONGDOING TO THE PUBLIC I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY TAKE MORE AGGRESSIVE MEASURES ADDRESSING SAFETY ISSUES BEFORE THEY CAUSE HARM. I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND INVOLVEMENT IN THIS BATTLE WITH HONDA AND TRYING TO MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT THEY CAN?T JUST PAY INDIVIDUALS MONEY AND BRUSH SAFETY ISSUES UNDER THE CARPET. *TR

I HAD GLOVES ON AND THE BURN WENT THROUGH THE GLOVES PUTTING HOLES IN THEM. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE CRASH CAUSING OVER $11,000.00 DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY MEDICAL BILLS ARE. I FEEL THIS AIRBAG HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE. IT ALSO CONCERNS ME THAT MY CAR WAS HIT HEAD ON AND ON BOTH SIDES AND ONLY THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEPLOYED.

I WAS GETTING SERVICE DONE ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC RECALL HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2014/03/FREE-ENGINE-REPLACEMENT-FOR-2006-2009-HONDA-CIVICS/INDEX.HTM. I WAS GIVEN 2014 HONDA ACCORD AS A LOANER VEHICLE FOR THE PERIOD MY CAR WAS GETTING FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR 3 DAYS. HOWEVER, ON JAN 6TH 2015, WE HAD SNOW IN OUR AREA AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS BELOW FREEZING. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK ON JAN 7TH, I HAD BACKED OUT THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND WHEN I TURNED ON TO OUR STREET, I HAD NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL A BIT STIFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SNOW ON THE GROUND THAT HAD MADE IT LITTLE DIFFICULT TO TURN. AS I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ON OUR STREET AT SPEED LESS THAN 10 MPH, I CAME TO THE FIRST TURN THAT I MAKE TO GET TO THE STREET LEADING UP TO THE MAIN STREET. AS I TRIED TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN, I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND DUE TO SNOW IT STARTED SKIDDING TO MY LEFT. AT SPEED OF LESS THAN 15 MPH AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, THE VEHICLE SKID TO THE LEFT PAVEMENT. IT CAUSED MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE FRONT LEFT RIM AND CAUSED THE ALIGNMENT TO BE OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS A LOANER VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED WITH GETTING 'FRONT SUSPENSION' AND 'STEERING GEAR & LINKAGE' REPLACED THROUGH MY INSURANCE. IT COST ME $750 AS DEDUCTIBLE COST THAT I'VE PAID TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON RESEARCHING THIS EVENT FURTHER ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT SIMILAR COMPLAINT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR 2013 (MY LOANER VEHICLE IS 2014 MODEL) HONDA ACCORDS THAT HAD SURFACED IN NOV 2014 (HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM466318/INOA-PE14033-1232.PDF). I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE WITH 2013 HONDA ACCORDS HAS/WILL-BE CONTINUED WITH 2014 HONDA ACCORDS AS THE SYMPTOMS I HAD OBSERVED WERE SIMILAR TO THOSE 2013 HONDA ACCORD. *TR

WE SMELLED FUEL WHEN DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A SUNDAY. THINKING IT WAS SOME LEFTOVER FUEL SPLASHED, WE CONTINUED BUT THEN THE SMELL BECAME REALLY INTENSE. SO WE TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TOWARD HOME. UPON ENTERING OUR STREET, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STALLED TOTALLY OUT AND CAME TO A STOP IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! WE ROLLED IT OVER TO THE SIDE, IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET; THEN STARTED CAR AGAIN AND WENT SLOWLY DOWNHILL TO THE HOUSE; CAR STALLED AGAIN JUST OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE, WE COULD NOT GET IT INTO DRIVEWAY, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL; WE PUSHED IT TO GET IT PARKED ON THE STREET. TRIED AGAIN LATER THAT DAY TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START, VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL AND GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO THE STREET. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER NEXT DAY; AFTER TECHNICIANS EXAMINED THE CAR THEY CONCLUDED "RODENT DAMAGE" TO THE FUEL LINE LEADING TO THE FUEL TANK. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE DAMAGE AS IT "WASN'T MANUFACTURER DEFECT." ALSO CALLED NATIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPENED A CASE; BUT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE EITHER TO COVER ANYTHING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE WEREN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS SUDDENLY STALLED OUT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AS THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH NO WARNING! THE FUEL LINE LAST PORTION LEADING INTO THE TANK IS MADE OF RUBBER, IT IS NOT METAL OR HARD PLASTIC LIKE THE REST OF THE LINE AND THEREFORE SUBJECT TO SOMETHING SHARP PUNCTURING IT--WHICH IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN OUR VIEW. THE NEW PART THEY PUT ON IS SAME AS THE OLD, THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE IS NO SHIELD UNDER THE FUEL TANK AREA TO KEEP THINGS FROM UNDERNEATH GETTING UP IN THERE. HONDA SHOULD AT LEAST COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR (WE PAID $684.09), CAR IS ALMOST BRAND NEW. AND WE BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, CAR CAN SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

RODENT DAMAGE TO GAS LINE, EMISSION SYSTEM, GAS TANK, AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS IN AN ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR (NOT STORED). LEADING TO MAJOR GAS LEAK (HALF A TANK OF GAS IN A DURATION OF A STANDSTILL AT RED LIGHT) THAT PLACED DRIVERS, PASSENGERS, PEDESTRIANS, AND BYSTANDERS' LIFE AT RISK. WOULD'VE LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENDING IF EXHAUST WAS HOT. GAS SPILLED OVER STRETCH OF 2 BLOCKS, MAJORITY CONCENTRATING AT INTERSECTION BETWEEN HEATH AND MAIN ST. BUFFALO NY, WHICH REQUIRED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO CLEAN UP. 911 WAS CONTACTED FOR PATCHES OF FLAMMABLE GASOLINE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN IGNITED FOR NUMEROUS REASONS LEADING TO FATALITY. REASON FOR FILING COMPLIANT. VEHICLE WHICH THIS HAPPENED TO WAS A BRAND NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED IN JUNE 2014. REPAIRS DENIED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND AMERICA HONDA. STATING ACCIDENT EVENTS LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED, AND IS NOT A MECHANICAL DEFECT. TWO CONSERVATIVE REPAIR REQUIRED, STILL NOT FIXED. DYSFUNCTIONAL CAR FOR A PERIOD OF 6 DAYS AND COUNTING. FOR RODENT DAMAGE TO OCCUR IN A BRAND NEW, ACTIVELY DRIVEN CAR IS INDICATIVE OF OBVIOUS FLAWS IN THE DESIGN ITSELF. 1. THE MACHINERY WAS EXPOSED AND UNPROTECTED. 2. THE QUALITY OF BUILT MATERIAL WAS SUBSTANDARD FOR IT TO BE DAMAGED IN A OVERNIGHT SITUATION BY SOME "RODENT" NO LARGER THAN THOSE THAT CAN FIT IN, AND MANEUVER, WITHIN A CONFINED SPACE (SERIOUSLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE A RODENT WOULD RANDOMLY CHOOSE MY CAR ON THE STREET TO SQUEEZE INTO AND JUST BIT A WIRE (NUMEROUS WIRES) WITHOUT PURPOSES OF BUILDING A NEWS OR FOR FOOD). 3.

SO FAR, NO ACCIDENT, BUT THIS TREND TO DISABLE ACCESS TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, EVEN BY A PASSENGER IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN PREVIOUSLY. IT'S HIGHLY DISTRACTING TRYING TO USE VOICE NAVIGATION AND IT ALWAYS DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL. THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO USE A SEPARATE HAND HELD GPS OR SMART PHONE, WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY MORE DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A CONTROLLED STUDY THAT DEMONSTRATES DISABLING NAVIGATION ACCESS WHILE DRIVING IS SAFER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE? HAVING USED FACTORY NAVIGATION SYSTEMS FOR OVER 12 YEARS, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT DISABLING NAVIGATION SYSTEMS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IS MORE DANGEROUS, AND REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IF ALTERNATIVE ROUTES ARE REQUIRED IN AN EMERGENCY. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF YOU ARE LOST IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD, OR SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING YOU? YOU DON'T DARE PULL OVER AND STOP. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS FURTHER ATTENTION. *TR

I PURCHASED NEW 2014 HONDA ACCORD ON 1/27/14 WITH 34 MILES. ON 1/31/14 WITH ONLY 117 MILES, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK, PERHAPS 2 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD ON IT'S OWN WITH GREAT FORCE. I WAS APPX 5 FEET AWAY FROM STOPPING WHEN SUDDENLY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE CAR LUNGED, HIT THE CONCRETE STOP, JUMPED OVER AND STOPPED ONLY BY STEEL CABLES.THIS OCCURRED ON THE 4TH FLOOR (SPIRAL PARKING) . IF THE CABLE SYSTEM WERE NOT IN PLACE, I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP LANDING ON THE TOP OF THE CARS PARKED ON THE 3RD FLOOR. THIS ENTIRE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN 2 SECONDS OR LESS. I WAS COMPLETELY STRAIGHT IN LINE HAVING TURNED RIGHT FROM THE CENTRAL AISLE, ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE CONCRETE BLOCK, TRAVELING NO MORE THAN 2 MPH. WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD, AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND SENT THE CAR INTO THE CABLES. I RECEIVED A BURN TO MY RIGHT HAND FROM THE AIRBAG AND WAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY IN SHOCK. I HAVE AN EXEMPLARY DRIVING HISTORY FOR 44 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING SO TRAUMATIZING OCCUR EVER. AS I STATED, THIS OCCURRED SO QUICKLY AS I WAS ONLY 1-2 SECONDS FROM TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. IN REPORTING THIS ACCIDENT TO HONDA, THEY RECOMMENDED HAVING IT TOWED TO SEIDNER'S WITH WHOM THEY PARTNER WITH. THEY COMPLETED THE REPAIRS ON 3/1/14.THE DAMAGE WAS EXTENSIVE, $11,600 TO THE FRONT END, HOOD, ETC. THE CAR WAS AT THE COLLISION CENTER UNTIL 3/1/14. BECAUSE OF THE CLAIM I OPENED WITH HONDA, THEY INSPECTED THE CAR 3/10/14, HOWEVER ONLY MADE A HAND-WRITTEN NOTE THAT THEY TEST DROVE IT FOR 48 MILES, NOTING "NO DEFECTS IN MECHANICAL INSPECTION, NO REPAIRS RECOMMENDED."
