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.

I purchased this used vehicle. I have never received any recall information on this vehicle. The electric power steering system, tire pressure and the vehicle stability assist indicators lit up after a successful vehicle inspection was conducted Thursday 11132025. A 2023 recall, identified by the NHTSA as 23v-430, covers the issue and requires dealerships to replace the vsa modulator. I contacted the dealership and they told me they could not assist.

Abs, traction control, power steering, parking lights go on and off. Abs control module throws code dtc 121-11; vsa solenoid valve malfunction. Been going off and on for a few weeks. No warning before the lights came on. Heard this is a common problem with the early 2010s Honda Accords that needs a recall. Pulled the code from a personal obdii scanner.

I am writing to report a persistent and dangerous safety defect in my 2014 Honda Accord involving the vsa (vehicle stability assist) / abs / abs modulator / abs ecu system. The abs, vsa, and other warning lights have been on for years, first noticing around 60-70,000 miles indicating an ongoing fault in the system. The dealer has diagnosed a bad abs/vsa modulator and/or ecu and stated this is a common issue and that often this part is on backorder. Most recently, while turning the car, the system locked or mis applied the brakes, causing the car to lose control and spin out. Luckily I did not crash as the car behind me was at a safe distance, but I ended up on the side of the highway in a dangerous situation. The center for auto safety shows multiple complaints for 2014 Accord, including: abs, vsa, traction control, stability control failures; owners say they were told a vsa modulator needs replacing owners report dtc codes like 81?19 (“yaw rate sensor internal circuit malfunction”) and 81?20 (abs cpu internal circuit malfunction) in 2014 Accords. Owners report abs and vsa not functioning, lights all on, and concerns that braking or stability control will fail, especially in poor conditions. Given the large number of similar reports for this model and year, this appears to be a systemic defect in the abs/vsa modulator/ecu system in 2013?to?2017 Honda Accords, including 2014. Because this is a safety system (brakes, stability control), the defect creates a real risk of crash, injury, or death. I request that NHTSA: open a formal investigation into the abs/vsa modulator/ecu failures in 2014 Accords (and related years). Determine whether a recall is needed. Require Honda to provide fixed or replacement units without cost to owners or reimbursment ensure parts are available (I. E. Not back?ordered) and that the repair is effective and safe.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the abs control module had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 180,000.

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.

Electric power steering system indicator, tire pressure, abs (anti-lock brake system), fcw (front collision warning), ldw (lane departure warning)& vehicle stability assist indicator are the warning lamps that appear on the dashboard all at the same time while driving. Other information provided as shown in the uploads.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle delayed while responding, causing the braking distance to become extended. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph and attempting to overtake another vehicle, the vehicle suddenly experienced reduced motive power, and the contact was able to return to the lane. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions, nearly causing a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the vsa system had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.

The abs modulator assembly has a yaw rate sensor (code 81-19) internal circuit malfunction that affects the anti-lock braking system. The abs uses pressure from the abs pump to pulse each wheel's brakes individually if the vehicle slides or skids when braking. This part needs to function properly in slick and icy conditions for safe braking distance, etc. It seems that this part has failed in other countries on a routine basis and is becoming a problem for different Honda models and years. The failure of this component is also not consistent with mileage factors (meaning it fails at low, intermediate, and high mileage). I believe there should be a recall for this issue.

The abs module control has failed in my vehicle. This failure is a potentially safety hazard. Per research, "Honda vehicles, particularly those from 2008-2017, have experienced abs module failures, often indicated by an illuminated abs light. " a local Honda dealership diagnosed the issue. The vehicle has not bee inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance rep; however, the issue was diagnosed by a local Honda dealership. There are warning lights, that only appeared after the failure.

Vsa modulator, that controls abs, failed. (core 123-11 vsa solenoid malfunction). The car is not safe to operate, until the vsa module is replaced (part # 04571-t2f-l21).

Abs warning light went on after having front l&r axle replaced because it broke or drive shaft broke . Had rear brakes done at same time calipers rotors and pads. Also emergency brake fixed. Less than a week later abs light went on a long with ebrake and power steering lights and traction light . Would initially go on and off now mostly on. . Machanic said it reads abs module. Seems coincidental that it went on a week after drive shaft broke. However after research this very expensive abs module seem to be a frequently occurring problem with Honda Accords. And unavailable parts to fix. I had a 2001 that abs went on also. Honda should fix this problem issue a recall maybe and pay to fix . A huge expense for customers. Not sure I will buy another Honda.

Abs module went out. Lights on dash turned on. Abs light, steering wheel light, break light, traction control light, took to the mechanic says it's the abs module.

Vehicle drives fine but a week ago the steering, traction, abs, & brake lights all lit up on my Accord's dashboard. Took car to our regular mechanic, who then conducted diagnostic testing. This in turn, indicated that the abs control module is the cause. Steering, traction, & braking are quite vital in the safe manuerving of stopping & controlling a vehicle in motion. If unable to manageable do so, I, as well as many others are potentially at risk.

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.

No accident involved . Warning lights pop up on dashboard. Honda diagnosed that my abs modulator need to be replaced. I have seen many comments online that many people are experiencing this problem. Fix is very expensive and people who can least afford it are going to be driving without this problem being corrected and maybe causing accidents which could be fatal. Will provide diagnosis by dealer if requested.

What happened? while driving my 2014 Honda Accord, both the brake and steering warning lights suddenly illuminated. The steering became difficult, indicating a loss of power steering assist. I pulled over safely and discovered that the abs light remained on. After towing the vehicle to a service center, the technician confirmed that the abs pump/module had failed, which triggered both warning lights and caused a failure in the power steering system. This malfunction poses a serious safety risk, potentially leading to loss of braking efficiency and steering control. The failure was sudden, with no prior warning signs. The service center advised that the abs module requires replacement. Legal protections and manufacturer liability: as a consumer, I am protected under state lemon laws and the magnuson-moss warranty act. These laws mandate that vehicles sold must be free from defects affecting safety and performance. The abs pump/module failure directly compromises the vehicle’s safety, making Honda responsible for repair or replacement. I should not bear the cost of this repair, as the issue is a manufacturing defect. Widespread safety issue and call for investigation: it has come to my attention that thousands of 2014 Honda Accords are experiencing the same abs pump/module failure, a clear safety issue that affects both the braking and steering systems. This is a widespread defect that Honda has yet to acknowledge with a formal recall. This issue appears to be purposefully hidden, and I urge Honda to initiate a thorough investigation and recall to address this danger. If Honda does not act quickly, I will pursue legal action to ensure the safety of affected consumers, including complaints to regulatory bodies and potential class action litigation.

There is a common problem with the vsa module failing on Honda's and there is no mfg recall. I believe there should be.

Abs control module solenoid valve malfunction.

The vsa/abs module failed and is a costly repair that causes safety concerns. I see from research that this is a common issue among the 2014 Honda Accords and a small number of 2014 Honda Accords were recalled for this but not mine. The fact that so many are failing this recall should be expanded to include the other Accords having the same issues.

In the dashboard, eps (electronic power steering), vsa (vehicle stability assist), abs (anti lock brake system), and brake lights would turn on and off intermittently. The lights could turn on starting the car in the morning or after driven for some time, for short period of time - 15 minutes to long period of time - 60 minutes. When these lights are on initially, a clank could be typically heard. When driven and slowed to around 10 mph, the high-to-low whine could be heard. At low speeds, the car jerks on deaccelearation and acceleration. The car may be difficult to drive smoothly at low speeds. Obdii reader found no fault codes. Reports of other cars with simillar problem indicate issue with abs module, wheel speed sensor, and/or battery.

Abs module failure. Im sure this issue has been mentioned multiple times, but it is a known issue that the Honda Accord's (2014 range models) abs module circuit board have improperly sized wires that are soldered on the circuit board. This can cause a lot of issues especially when driving in the snow and/or rain since the abs system is faulty. . Read more...

The abs light is on. Brake light is on auto shop said I need a new abs module. Also the power steering light is on.

All kinds of failure on dashboards. Codes 81-19 and 81-20. Mechanic said there is a chance abs brakes and traction control isn't working. Said this is very common for my car and that I should take it directly to Honda.

The abs modulator has failed. It's a common issue with 2014 Honda Accords and they should be recalled for it. It causes all of the dash lights to come on and so you won't know when there is an actual issue with your car because all of the lights are on all of the time until you can get it repaired. Also your anti lock brakes could fail. I bought this car brand new in 2014. It has less than 80k miles and to pay thousands of dollars 10+ yrs later because Honda charges so much for the part, does not make sense.

Vsa module has gone bad. I’ve come to find out it is a common thing in certain Honda vehicles. I feel the braking and stability in my vehicle is compromised.

Abs module has gone bad. Many other Accords same year have had same issue reported.

A random day the cars steering wheel light came on,the abs light came on,the tire pressure light came on,and the traction control light came on.

I purchased this vehicle new, it has only 70,000 miles. Recently the dashboard lights lit up with a message that the forward collision warning system failed. I pulled over as soon as I could and began looking this up. First, I wanted to learn if it was safe to drive the car home or if I needed to have the car towed to a dealer. When I restarted the car thirty minutes later the warning lights were off. I got the car home and used an inexpensive obd reader to check for codes, none showed up. Later I took the car to a mechanic and his professional scanner found codes 81-19 and 81-20. There are many stories on youtube about the vsa/abs module failing.

Vsa module failure. Warning codes. Safety aids unavailable.

Abs module failed and hence indicators for abs, electronic steering, stability assist, and tire low pressure have come on. On diagnosis with the dealer, it was told that the module has failed, and it has to be replaced. Such low-quality parts were not expected from Honda.

1. Im experiencing an abs module failure (Honda calls it vsa module). 2. When the system messed up it causes my traction control and anti-lock brakes to turn off. 3. The problem has been reproduced as it keeps randomly turning all of the systems on and off randomly, multiple times during a single drive. 4. It has not been inspected by any of the people listed. 5. Nothing prior to the failure just all of a sudden my dashboard indicated that my electronic steering system, abs, forward collision warning system, lane departure warning system, and tire pressure monitoring system all shut down. When the codes were read it all leads back to a failure in the abs/vsa module. Reading articles online has shown me others that have had this issue has made me realize this is a very large number of vehicles affected and could cause great bodily harm or death to occupants or others on the roadway. Attached in the photo section I have supplied pictures of the codes currently on the vehicles computer. I have cleared the codes and the failure immediately came back and all safety systems turned back off.

Abs / vsa module failure.

My dashboard is lit up with lights . . Abs,break vehicle skid control, and steering wheel . I need a new abs control module I am told I have 178,000 the breaks are new, but now making a funny nose. Including shaking and vibrating and squeeking in my driver side wheel. The driver wheel makes a clunking noise only when the lights turn on. And breaks seem to be acting weird. . When lights come on my steering wheel also makes weird noise when turning.

Abs braking system completely failed. Quoted $5000 to fix it, huge safety issue. The value of my car has significantly decreased and now I can't sell my car or afford to fix it due to this issue and now it is dangerous to have this issue. Thousands of people online dealing the same issue.
