SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
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.

THE CAR WILL NOT START, BUT ONLY SOMETIMES. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON, THE POWER COMES ON AND IT CLICKS BUT DOESN'T START. SEVERAL LIGHTS COME ON INCLUDING STARTER SYSTEM. IT USUALLY WILL START AFTER A FEW TRIES BUT LAST NIGHT WOULD NOT AT ALL AND I WAS STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THE HONDA FORUMS AND THIS WAS RECALLED AND FIXED FOR THE 2013'S BUT NOT THE 2014"S.

ENGINE
ON MY 2014 ACCORD SPORT (2.4 L, I4 ENGINE), THERE APPEARS TO BE 'EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION' SINCE ABOUT 50K MILES. I HAVE TO ADD ABOUT 3/4 QUART TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000-2500 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND PERFORM ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON TIME AT THE HONDA DEALER. I TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER MISSED A SERVICE. IT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE HITTING 50K MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 77K MILES AND I JUST HAD TO ADD 3/4 QUART OF OIL AGAIN AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES. I'VE EVEN REPLACED THE PCV VALVE WITH NO LUCK. MY QUESTION IS, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE RECALL RELATED TO 2008-2012 ACCORDS? I THINK MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. BY THE WAY, I'VE SEEN HONDA'S STANCE THAT UP TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE, I ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE.. IT'S ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL. I WORRY HOW THIS CAR WILL DO AS IT GETS OLDER. AT THIS RATE, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN IT GOES BAD DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION?

HONDA KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN- AFFECTING 2013-2016 ACCORDS AND 2013-15 CROSS TOURS, THE STARTER GRINDS AND SPINS AT START UP, CAR DOES NOT START. HONDA'S POSSIBLE CAUSES: THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE STARTER MOTOR GEAR AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER RING GEAR IS NOT OPTIMAL. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL? OTHER THAN MY CAR NOT STARTING AND THE COST NEAR $1,000 TO REPAIR, CAN THIS CAUSE A FIRE?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I AM RECEIVING A FWS FAILURE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THAT SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1800. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT HONDA SHOULD PAY THE COST TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A RECALL HONDA DTC U0416/68 FOR ANOTHER MODEL.

ON OCTOBER 31, THE AXLE ON MY CARE SNAPPED IN HALF. I WAS IN A SHOPPING CENTER AREA, TRYING TO MAKE A TURN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I LEARNED THAT THE AXLE WAS BROKEN WHEN I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED IN THE AMOUNT OF $312.49. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A FREAK INCIDENT AND THAT IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE AXLE BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN IN THAT MANNER. I WANT HONDA TO REIMBURSE FOR THE COST TO REPAIR. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE OF A SERIOUS SITUATION IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD DOES NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. STARTED WHEN MY CAR HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT. I THOUGHT IT TO BE A BATTERY PROBLEM. HAD MY BATTERY TESTED AT ADVANCE AUTO PARTS AND MY BATTERY WAS GOOD. I STILL REPLACE IT. NEXT DAY, SAME PROBLEM. NO START UNTIL THE 8TH ATTEMPT. THE LOUD GRINDING THAT COME WITH THE FAIL ATTEMPT IS FRUSTRATING AND EMBARRASSING. TODAY AFTER 11 FAILED ATTEMPTS TO START MY CAR IT FINALLY STARTED ON THE 12TH TIME. I'M SO OVER HONDA AND THE CRAZY PART IS I OWN A 2007 HONDA ACCORD, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD AND THIS 2014 HONDA ACCORD. THE TWO OLDER YEARS GIVES ME 0 PROBLEMS WHILE THE NEWER ONE WITH LESS MILES GIVE ME SOOO MUCH TROUBLE. HONDA STAND UP AND BE THE REPUTABLE DEALER THAT CAUSED ME TO BUY HONDA IN THE FIRST PLACE. OH AND NEXT THE BRKES ARE NOTHING LIKE THE OLDER MODELS. U FEEL A SKIP AND YOU SLIDE. THESE BRAKES ARE BY FAR THE WORST

I'VE A 2014 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT BURNS OIL CONSTANTLY. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW UNTIL TWO YEAR 2020 UNTIL DO MY OWN OIL CHANGE AND REALIZE I BURN A QUART OF OIL WITHIN A MONTH. SO THE DEALER HAS CHANGE MY MOTOR OIL ALL THIS YEAR WITHOUT TELLING ME UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS OVER AND I SURE THEY KNOW AND HEAR COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUES ALREADY THEY SHOULD DO A RECALLED ON THIS CAR DO TO SAFETY REASON.

DAY 1: CAR HAD 2 INSTANCES OF NO START ACCOMPANIED BY STRANGE WHIRRING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRST TIME TOOK 5 TRIES TO SUCCESSFUL START, THE SECOND TIME TOOK 2 TRIES TO SUCCESSFUL START.ALL DASH LIGHTS/RADIO HAD POWER. DAY 2: CAR STARTED UP FIRST TRY NO PROBLEMS, BUT LATER IN THE DAY WHEN TRYING TO USE VEHICLE AGAIN, I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE AS DAY 1, BUT THIS TIME WITHOUT SUCCESSFUL START UPON EXHAUSTED NUMBER OF TRIES. BATTERY VOLTAGE TESTED AND MONITORED WHILE TRYING TO START INDICATED IT WASN'T A BATTERY ISSUE. VEHICLE TOWED TO PURCHASING DEALERSHIP.... TOLD I NEED A NEW STARTER...500$+ BILL. EXPECT IT TO BE OUT OF SHOP TOMORROW. BMS RECALLED AND REPLACED IN 2017 BY PREVIOUS OWNER, MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN STARTER RECALL. BOUGHT WITH 76,000 MILES ON JULY 11TH 2020, STARTER WENT OUT EXACTLY 4 MONTHS LATER NOVEMBER 11TH 2020 WITH 81,000 MILES. 2014 ACCORD LX HUGE BUMMER.. I'M A DIE HARD HONDA FAN AND RECOMMENDER BUT THIS HAS CAUSED LOTS OF INCONVENIENCES. I HOPE HONDA MAKES THIS RIGHT.
