general problems of the 2014 Honda Accord - part 1

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.

Cylinder 2 scorned to sever to fix.

Oil leaking on to spark plugs.

Just last week my engine started making a rattling sound from the bottom of the engine. This Honda has been properly maintained at the dealership and never gave any warning signs or symptoms. Now my mechanic says its the crankshaft and bearings. The check engine light turned on and the code was p0300.

Was driving to work on April 11,2025. Engine stopped working after stopping at red light, all lights on dash came on-causing me to have to push the car from a main road into a business in order to not impede traffic or get hit. Had to have it towed to a body shop. Waiting to see what is wrong with the car, will update with more information as I have it.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle vibrated abnormally, with an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 79,000.

I have a 2014 Honda Accord ex-l with not even 62,000 miles. When we purchased the car we got the extended warranty, thinking Honda would stand by their product. Not true. After the first month we had to have the battery replaced. Fast forward a few years and we were told we needed a new battery”wire harness” at a cost of over $2,000. Now it is 2025 and the backup camera only works when the turn signal is used; it remains a black screen when put into reverse. Add to that what is apparently a major problem with other Honda owners. When we go to start the car, we get nothing. The car doesn’t start. Thinking that the key fob needed a battery, we replaced them with new batteries. It continues to be a problem. I have a fear I will be out one day and it will not start completely. I see that I am not the only person complaining of this and feel that Honda should issue a recall for the Accord addressing this problem. I feel that I may become stranded one day and this seems to be a safety issue.

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.

Excessive oil consumption. I have 110,000 on my vehicle. Every 1000 miles I need to add 1 quart of oil. My vehicle is not leaking oil. This matter is very a common problem, well-documented issue for this Honda engine. Honda will not respond to my complaint.

My 2014 Honda has been have 2 major issues over the life of the vehicle. 1. Vtc actuator - prior to the oil indicator light coming on and the time to change the oil, my car screams out a loud consistent noise. I have reported this concern to team Honda in baton rouge on numerous occasions. The most recent repost was on [xxx]. I am concerned my engine will fail or explode. 2. Tires light indicator (see pictures) my tires were check on [xxx] and I spent almost $300 on a new tire. The same light which were on on that day came back on. All 4 of my tires were checked out and 3 out of 4 of them were in good condition. This has also been an ongoing issue. The tire light random come on, then the other 5 (all related) flashed an the dashboard. My first time experiencing this was less than a month after getting my vehicle but the tires was still covered under warranty at that time. By these lights coming on during non-emergencies, the consumer can not identify when the vehicle actually needed to be serviced. Both has been ongoing and reported for years and fed up with these issues. I am surprised they have not issued a recall yet! thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from a Honda representative very soon.

I own a 2014 Honda Accord with the 2. 4l engine, which has a well-documented oil consumption defect. Recently, I discovered that my engine was nearly dry and required approximately 60 ounces of oil just to bring the dipstick reading to the midpoint between the “low” and “full” marks. The car had been idling roughly at cold start, and the check engine light flickered briefly, which I now understand was due to oil starvation. This condition creates a serious safety hazard because sudden oil loss can lead to engine misfires, stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential damage to the catalytic converter. This is not an isolated incident — thousands of Accord owners from the same model years have reported excessive oil consumption, and Honda has issued technical service bulletins acknowledging the defect. Despite this, no recall has been issued and many affected owners are left to continually top off oil or risk engine damage. I believe this should be investigated as a widespread safety defect, as many drivers may not realize their cars are burning oil until the engine is dangerously low.

After a cold start, when trying to accelerate to merge onto street the engine dies. Also sometimes engine or transmission jerks when speeding up or slowing down after letting off of gas or brakes.

I purchased this vehicle in January 2024. I've had to change the oils three times since then. This car is using an extreme amount of oil and it's not leaking anywhere. Today one month from my last oil change the car said it had a 30 percent oil life. I scheduled an appointment for this Tuesday but when my husband got home from work he said it sounded terrible. So this morning I get up and take it to my local walmart for a full synthetic oil change and guess what? there was no oil in the car. 30 days after the last oil change and there is absolutely no oil in this car. Where is it going? after reading several sites I see this is a very common problem in this model year. The car hasn't even been driven 3000 miles in a month and it's out of oil? what am I suppose to do?.

On 1/25/2024 just after dark I picked up the car at detroit at the motel airport parking and proceeded north on middlebelt to I 94 west when I noticed the red battery signal on the dash. A warning notice said check charging system. By the time I reached rawsonville road the dash lights and power steering went out as well as all the lights and emergency flashers. I coasted up the ramp and through a red light and the car stopped blocking south bound rawsonville road. I called 911 theygot me a tow to fisher Honda in ypsilanti mi. The failure of a alternator was the cause . We were unable to warn other cars and protect our car. We were lucky.

1. Starting system I have had trouble starting with the push button for about 3 weeks. It sometimes would take several tries before turning over. Most times, it would start in 1 – 2 attempts. It was worse this last week. I had to try more often, especially on Thursday night. I did not drive at all on Friday. On Saturday 7/1/23, I drove to the pharmacy less than < 1 mile. It did not start after dozens of tries after shopping. I walked home. Later, I had other errands taking our odyssey. Back at the parking lot, I tried again dozens of times and it would not start. I tried moving the gears from park to neutral, trying to start it and going back again. I called aaa for a tow and called service department to let you know of the issue and the towing to the dealership. I had noticed that when pressing down on the brake pedal, the car started most often when the pedal went down easily. It would usually not start with the pedal being very stiff. 2. Warning lights on dashboard on Thursday 6/30/23, the warning lights on the dashboard all lit up and stayed lit. The odometer message was fcw failed. I had this problem before which should be in the service history of the vehicle. That problem occurred in August, 2019 and beyond. The throttle assembly was ultimately replaced, and it worked fine after that until now. I had been advised by one of the service representatives to use shell or costco gas. I have done that for over 90% of the fill-ups. In the past, the system would reset itself. But several times, the car went into “creep mode” when the errors occurred. Once while crossing the border into niagra falls, canada and on I-90 in rush hour traffic. 3. Stalling I have had several cases when the car stalled when idling at stop lights, in stop and go traffic or in reverse. I was nearly a hood ornament for an 18-wheeler in columbia, SC in April. It stalled and took several attempts to start.

I was on a busy highway, going uphill. The car suddenly decreased speed to 40 mph for about 60 seconds. The car then lost all acceleration with the gas engine still running. Dash warning said "power system failure". I was able to maneuver the car to the side of the road and call aaa to have it towed to the Honda dealership. Dealership repair center was unable to find a problem.

The vehicles abs control module has been an issue with this vehicle. This needs to be recalled because a bad abs module can behave erratically, making your brakes lock up even under normal braking, compromising my families safety. It was confirmed today at the Honda dealership, in which I questioned, “how does this happen to a vehicle with less than 100k miles? if this is a safety concern why isnt there a safety recall?” at that time, the representative became unaware why there wasn’t a recall. The vehicle has been inspected by Honda. Yes, the vehicle light sensors are produced: brake light abs light traction control power steering all that compromise safety. Please assist.

I have been driving this car as my commuter car, oil changes been maintained. Suddenly started hearing knoking noise out of the engine compartment, finally I was able to diagnose the issue after reading on the internet it was the connecting rod bearing that gave way.
