2014 Honda Accord Hybrid problems

“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”

“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.”

“[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…”

“All the warning lights on the dashboard are ON except for emission lights namely, low tire pressure, brake lights, ABS, forward collision warning, airbag. I’m afraid during bad weather ABS system will not work properly. Car has 135k mileage. No safety recall checked by our mechanic. The lights never turned off when you drive.”
