NHTSA lists 1 safety recall and 952 owner complaints for the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid. Most complaints involve electrical system (378) and engine (178). The EPA rates it 47 mpg combined, and NHTSA gives it 5 stars overall.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Honda Accord Hybrid vehicles manufactured August 29, 2013, to May 30, 2015. Electrical interference may cause the hybrid system to switch into fail-safe mode, disabling the gasoline engine, limiting the vehicle's speed to 40 miles per hour and functioning only on battery power. Once the battery is discharged, the vehicle will stall.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.

“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.”
“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.”
“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”
