2014 Honda Accord owner complaints (15)

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Honda Accord. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 149,010 and at the time of checking a Carfax report, it was discovered that the last mileage on the vehicle was 284,000.

• SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  when driving the vehicle 7/25/26 my fcw/brake light came on. I felt very insecure for safety reasons and we contacted a local mechanic who specializes in honda and foreign vehicles. We have photos and invoices from the auto shop and we had to rent a vehicle. We are rited with 1 vehicle and my wife was going to visit her mother.

• STRUCTURE

  Excessive rusting that causes structural safety issues.

• SERVICE BRAKES

  The ABS module is designed to fail after an extended period of time, leaving the owner to drive in dangerous conditions unless they pay thousands of dollars for the necessary repairs. This is essentially extortion, and the owners need to be held accountable. Our society runs the risk of being ran by parasitic, profit-driven, morally bankrupt individuals unless the issue is resolved appropriately. Thank you!

• POWER TRAIN

  The driver front left driveshaft inboard joint has started making noise when putting the car into drive, reverse, and taking off from a stop. The part is currently installed in the car and is not available for inspection. It has been inspected by an OEM dealership and confirmed to have play in the driveshaft. It has not been inspected by anyone else. Upon research, I found NHTSA recall 20V769000 that concerns this exact issue. The inboard and outboard joints are rusting and is allowing moisture to get inside of the joint. My VIN did have the open recall in 2021. The vehicle was inspected by an OEM dealer in March, 2021 for a clicking noise that I could not replicate at the time. The dealer confirmed that the recall inspection they did in March, 2021 was inspected, but the driveshafts were not replaced. The noise is now consistent and can be replicated.

• STEERING

  2014 Honda Accord Hybrid experienced a sudden, complete loss of electric power steering assist immediately upon vehicle startup, illuminating the EPS dash warning light. The steering became extremely heavy and physically difficult to turn, rendering the vehicle unsafe to operate on public roads. An onboard diagnostic check retrieved a hard Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 53, which explicitly indicates an EPS Torque Sensor failure. Honda is fully aware of this defect and issued Service Bulletin 15-056 (Sep. 2018), which extends the EPS warranty to 13 years for this exact year and model. However, when checking my vehicle's 17-digit VIN, Honda's database excludes my car from the coverage range. This vehicle is suffering from the identical manufacturing defect and component failure outlined in Bulletin 15-056, but I am locked out of the safety repair solely due to an arbitrary VIN database boundary. I am filing this report because the underlying safety defect clearly extends beyond Honda's designated VIN cut-off range.

• STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  The VSA module failed, causing 5 warning lights to illuminate. This module controls ABS, traction control, and power steering. All of these systems involve the safe operation of the vehicle. The module failed due to a flawed design; the module contains 20-30 very fine connecting wires that frequently break due to vibration and temperature changes. VBS module failures are extremely common on 2008-20017 Honda Accords. Honda charges up to $4,000 to repair their flawed design to return the car to a safe operating condition. It is unconscionable that the consumer should have to pay such an expense to repair their mistake or to drive the car as is, and risk a catastrophic failure. A recall for these modules should be declared to protect the public from accident and injury.

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Honda Accord TSB on starter issue with flywheel 2.4. The root cause is a poor clearance gap between the starter and the flywheel, which damages the starter's gears. Other have had this issue and there is a bunch of class actions regarding the same issue

• ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  Engine vibrating at stop light and fcw and ldw failed

• LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  the LDW, FCW, power steering, traction control, abs, steering keep faulting out. I am being told the issue is with the abs module. all the safety systems shut off with a warning message. these are major safety systems to have shut down by a single module.

• SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,AIR BAGS

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  My car had extended crank, shaking/jerking while driving, engine failed and cut off in traffic. Tried to restart extended crank, still shaking/jerking while driving, sparking in the engine and engine failed and cut off in traffic. I was terrified didn't know if the car was going to be on fire when I heard the spark in the engine on the highway. Not only did this failure of the part put myself in danger but others on the road in danger as well. Other drivers was trying to get around me without causing an accident especially when my car was shaking/jerking. I had my car towed to the Honda dealership service center. The technician called and told me my fuel pump had failed.
