2014 Honda Accord Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

"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." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

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 manufacturing defect affecting this model year.

Safety Complaint: Total Electric Power Steering Failure – 2014 Honda Accord Touring V6 I own a 2014 Honda Accord Touring V6 with approximately 130,000 miles. The vehicle is currently out of warranty. On XXX, while driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly experienced a total loss of power steering. The steering became locked, and we barely had enough time to safely move the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway. This was an extremely dangerous situation and could have resulted in a serious accident, injury, or death. The vehicle is currently unsafe to drive because of the steering failure. A Honda dealer has quoted thousands of dollars to repair the vehicle. The Electric Power Steering (EPS) Module/Computer, part number 39980-T2G-305, alone was quoted at approximately 743, in addition to approximately 238 in dealer diagnostic fees and labor, which could itself exceed 1,000. I am concerned that Honda has not issued a safety recall for this potentially dangerous steering failure, despite this issue reportedly occurring in multiple Honda vehicles, including vehicles other than the Accord. Honda has issued a technical service bulletin regarding the issue, but a bulletin does not provide the same remedy or consumer protection as a safety recall. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this potentially serious safety defect and intervene to help ensure that affected vehicles are properly repaired. A sudden and complete loss of steering assistance, particularly at highway speeds, presents an extremely serious safety hazard to the occupants of the vehicle and other motorists. NOTE : I also humbly request NHTSA to intervene and help us getting the car fixed which is currently unsafe to drive with steering locked. Attached is the quote from local Honda Dealer in [XXX]. They want us to tow the car to their location but I currently cannot afford these repairs. --- INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Excessive rusting that causes structural safety issues.

Incident: August 10, 2026 · Filed: August 10, 2026

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!

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.
