2014 Honda Accord problems

“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.”

“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.”

“"While driving, the front driver's side driveshaft snapped due to an active safety recall. The vehicle was towed to a dealership for the recall repair. Immediately after the new driveshaft was installed, the car began shaking violently under braking and driving. The dealership inspected it and diagnosed a broken tie rod caused by the snapping driveshaft, but the dealer is refusing to cover the consequential damage or towing reimbursement, leaving an unsafe vehicle undriveable on their lot the incident happened "While stopped at a traffic light at [XXX] and [XXX] taking a left turn, I pressed the gas to go through the intersection. The vehicle made a loud clunk sound and completely lost all drive power (driveshaft snapped). I had to manually push the car ('Flintstone it') out of the intersection to safety.". After losing all power during a left turn at [XXX] and [XXX], I coasted down and up a hill. Because the broken axle severed the transmission connection, the vehicle would not hold in Park, causing it to roll and end up facing the wrong direction on the wrong side of the street while waiting for a tow. The car was subsequently towed to the dealership for the recall repair."”

“The original ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) module in my 2014 Honda Accord failed approximately 3 years ago. The ABS warning light came on and the system stopped functioning properly. ABS modules are designed to last the life of the vehicle, but this one failed after just a few years of normal use. Due to the high cost of a new OEM module, I purchased a used Honda ABS module from a junkyard as a replacement. The replacement module is now also failing with the same symptoms (ABS warning light, loss of ABS function). This indicates a systemic defect in the module design rather than an isolated failure. When searching for another replacement, I called multiple used car parts suppliers and they informed me they are completely out of stock for 2014 Accord ABS modules and have received numerous calls about this specific part. Safety risk: ABS failure compromises braking safety, especially in emergency stops or on wet/slippery roads. Without ABS, the vehicle is at increased risk of skidding and loss of control during hard braking. Multiple owners of 2014 Honda Accord report the same ABS module failure at similar mileage/age, suggesting this is a widespread…”

“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.”

“ABS Module went out and this has been a problem with numerous Hondas. Specifically the 2014 Honda accord exl and exl coupe model. I was quoted $3k+ for repairs and I don’t have that kind of money.”
