general problems of the 2014 Honda Accord - part 2

See attached document for complaint.

There is know issue with the abs modulator with this gen Honda Accord. I believe the affected years are 2013-2017. The selenoid for the abs module goes bad and the light in the attached photo comes on. Basically, the soldering for the tinny modulator wires comes off. Honda sells the at for $2300 these was a class action for the similar issue in thailand and Honda had to repair all the affected vehicles at no charge. . Read more...

I took my 2014 Honda Accord ex in for repairs on September 4, 2023 and the Honda dealership informed me that after replacing the battery that the it that the vsa modulator on the car has gone bad which has been a common problem with this year Honda Accord and others from 2013 all the way to the 2017. And this part has been on back order for months. This a shame.

Abs module failing and causing abs sensor, tps sensor, powersteering sensor and hand brake light turn on. Very dangerous when you meed abs in action. When I research almost all cars from 2014 having this issue. Honda must recall this car to replace abs module.

My 2014 Honda Accord 3. 5-v6, 9 years old, it has almost 40,000 miles on it. Recently all warning lights show up on the dashboard (abs, fcw, traction control, ldw. . . . . ) Honda dealers said it take $3000 to fix it, they mentioned the Honda Accord 2014 is bad designed from Honda company. I wish NHTSA look into this matter, investigate the quality of Honda Accord 2014. Honda must recall to fix the problems. Please. Help us to recall Honda Accord 2014-v6. As a retiree, I don't have much money $3000 to fix the abs system. Thank you very much.

Abs control module failed and warning lights have appeared. Honda needs to recall and repair this abs control module. There are many complaints and youtube videos posted online about this problem. My car has less than 60,000 miles and this should not have occurred. Honda is making unreliable cars which they need to recall at their expense, since this can affect safety of passengers.

When the car warms up I get a total of four lights abs the traction control the brake light and the steering control light comes on also was told that the problem to fix it was the abs pump and module which no one has in stock six months out to purchase.

My 2014 Honda Accord suddenly turn on all the lights, when I took it to Honda dealer it says that abs module need to be replace which is cost a lot almost $2k plus, I check for recall but Honda don't have recall for it. When I search online I am not the only one lots of Honda Accord owners have the same problem. I kindly request NHTSA to share this issue with Honda company to help and give us recall.

In July 2023 after having brake pads and rotors replaced at the Honda dealership, several dashboard lights went ldw/fcw, traction control, steering, and abs lights came on. After a diagnostic test at the dealership, they wanted over $2600 for parts and labor for a new abs module. However, this part is “on backorder” with no eta. We spent less than $700 to have a mechanic remove the current abs module, send it to CA to a place we found on ebay that repairs them, and have the mechanic replace it after bleeding the brake lines and replacing the brake fluid. This is a known issue (see reddit, youtube, these complaints, mechanics…even the dealership) on a part that should last the lifetime of the car. I expected more from Honda.

My 2014 Honda Accord ex sedan has/had defective starter and abs modulator , many Honda Accord vehicles in these year range are having or had these same problems . These vehicles should not be having these problems at low mileage . I believe the abs problems are a safety concern.

Abs module failed, affects the braking system. Problem confirmed by mechanic. Braking lights on dash all lit up including the "ldw failure" and "fcw failure" message on the dashboard. The dashboard warning lights go on and off (not constant, but every time I drive).

Vsa/abs control modulator went bad. Honda dealer tried to reset and didn’t resolve. New part is back ordered 5-6 months. Anti slip/traction no longer operable.

My 2014, Honda Accord has every warning light on the dashboard on. Once this happened, I took it to my local dealership and was informed that my abs module had failed. The dealership also informed me that the vehicle was not repairable because of the part being available. The part is on back order with no timetable of when the dealership will get the part. . My car is now sitting because it is unsafe to drive and I am not able to fix it because there are no parts for it.

On June second this year I started my Accord and drove on the freeway adjacent to my home for a few minutes and the abs, traction control, and the brakes warning lights displayed on the dashboard. They went off after a few miles but continued displaying more frequently for a few days until I parked my car and got an appointment with my Honda certified mechanic. He told me this morning that the abs control module needs to be replaced. Part and labor are $2,200. Current mileage is 70,480. By the way I felt a bumpy ride since the warning lights went on. I appreciate your feedback and looking forward to hearing your response and advice. Thank you, roger estassi.

Car is available for inspection. Lane departure warning failed front collision warning failed brake light on abs light on power steering light on traction control light on passenger airbag light on safety put at risk due to no traction control, no abs, and power steering system failure system was confirmed by independent service center failure was confirmed by service center 8/18/2023 no symptoms prior.

The brake, steering, and a few other dashboard warning lights come on. Upon checking the diagnostic code, it indicated that the vsa modulator assy was the problem. This requires part number 04571-t2f-l01 (replaces 57110-t2f-l01). However, this part has been on a nationwide backorder for several months. I called several local Honda dealers and checked with online vendors as well and they all told me the part has been on backorder for several months. I reported the issue to Honda and the case number is 14081980. The Honda representative had me place an order with a dealer and pay for the part saying they would try to have the order fulfilled. After placing the order and paying for the part, the Honda representative changed her story and told me they can only monitor the order and close the case after the part is shipped. I was charged $1,373. 29 for the part and there is no estimate when they will ship the part. Honda still says there is no eta for the part even after they made me place an order and pay for it. This is a safety hazard as I am forced to drive the car with a malfunctioning vsa modulator. I suspect several Honda Accord car owners are in the same position as the part is on a nationwide backorder. Please investigate this as a safety issue. Thanks.

Abs modular failed causing abs brakes fcw and ldw and traction control to stop working.

Abs modulator failure. Brake lights and warning lights flashing all the time. Maintenance/repair shop diagnosed as abs modator failure. But Honda does not have this part. On backorder with no estimated delivery date. I called several Honda dealers and oem mf parts dealers in the nation - all say part not available. Now my daughter is driving a car with faulty abs.

Hello, the abs and traction control lights of my car came on a few weeks ago. I took it to the dealer and they did a diagnostics and they said it is a faulty/bad abs (vsa) module (computer). Thee car has fairly low mileage and I did not expect the car to have any serious safety issue at around 65000 miles. The dealer told me the part costs about $1500 and the labor is $600. It is too much for me too afford and it is a safety issues at the same time. When I did a bit of online research I saw it is a popular issue for Honda owners and a lot of them complain and suffer about it. It reveals that Honda has a design flaw with any abs/vsa module. Apparently the module is not designed to tolerate the operating condition of the car (vibration, temperature. . . ) and it gets faulty after a few years or some thousand miles. It is very popular. I could provide evidence of it based on my online research. Some Honda owners apparently try to reset the computer and turn of the light (mask the issue) since it is very costly to replace the part but they do not understand the safety impact it has on the passengers. Apparently Honda is ware of its design flaw too but because of the large cost of this module tries to deny or hide it. If you do online research on Honda Accord or civic (all Accord and civic after 2011, 2012) abs or vsa module/modulator issues you will see bunch of it. It is a popular issue which needs a bigger action. Since it is safety and it is Honda's design flaw I wanted to report it to you. Please investigate this safety issue further. It might end up being a recall due to safety and since some owners ignore or reset it due to the very high cost. Please help. It is very costly to fix it as you see and I do not want to pay since the vehicles is fairly low millage and it is a Honda's design flaw. You don't see this issue on internet with toyotas or nissans.

I had several warning light appear on the dashboard, and the dealership said that my vsa modulator was starting to go bad. This device controls power steering, anti-lock brakes and other functions. While driving to the Honda service department, the brakes were very low and the steering was loose (dangerous conditions). After doing some research, I found that Honda recalled the vsa modulator on other models, but not for my 2014 Accord. Many other owners of the same model stated that their vsa modulators failed around 34k-36k miles (right at the end of warranty). I still have the original vsa modulator, the dealer just reset the warning lights and sent me on my way. I am writing to request an investigation for Honda to extend the vsa modulator recall to more models, such as the 2014 Accord.

Multiple lights on dashboard: abs, eps, parking brake, vsa, tpms. Lights were intermittent at first, then became permanent. Car still runs and drives fine but abs and traction control do not function. Local mechanic scanned for codes and found the following: 121-11 vsa solenoid valve malfunction 81-20 central processing unit internal circuit malfunction 85-01 vsa system malfunction local mechanic has seen this before and recommended replacement of the vsa modulator valve assembly (part number 04571-t2f-l01). Repair has not been completed. Transmission died (cvt belt broke) at around 195,000 miles and about 6 months after vsa system issue started. Unsure if the problems were related. Car now has a new transmission.

Antilock brake system modulator failure. Malfunction lights showed forward collision warning system failure, antiskid malfunction, fcw and ldw lights illuminated. Dtc code 81-19. This problem occurred over 2 week period. Dealer replaced abs modulator.

Caliper had to be replaced after 93,000 miles. Could have started a fire if I didn't take the car in to the hop when I did. Also it was located on same side as the gas tank (rear drivers side).

Car occasionally experiences unintended acceleration. This happening today 9/4/2022. Car was brought to a complete stop. It suddenly accelerated while the foot was still on the brake, causing it to rear-end the car in front. Thankfully there no physical injuries reported (yet) we had experienced this a couple of time before. I had contact Honda as well as the local dealer and they cleared the car with no changes.

Abs module failed, causing fcw, airbag, and traction control system to fail as well. Without a functional abs system, the likelihood of a crash increases. Yes a dealer confirmed this failure, and has replaced the module. Several warning lamps were illuminated.

During normal operation of the vehicle several indicating lights suddenly illuminated on the cluster. . . Etc. Steering, fcw, ldw, abs, traction control and the verbiage " fcw failed". With the abs unit not functioning properly the vehicle may, can and will skid uncontrollably under emergency braking, especially during inclement weather conditions. The same can be said for the traction control under acceleration, or normal driving depending on the road condition. With the fcw, and ldw not functioning the risk of a rear, or side collision is greatly increased again, pending the weather condition. As for the steering I am clueless as to the implications it may have, especially that this vehicle is equipped with electronically assisted steering. This vehicle was taken into the local Honda dealer to be looked at after the several attempts to clear codes. First by shutting the vehicle the off and restarting it several times and disconnecting the battery for extended period of time more than once. The dealer ran a diagnostic check, which they conclude that the vsa/abs modulator needs to replace because of "81-20 abs cpu internal circuit malfunction, 61-11 vsa modulator control unit power source circuit low voltage: repair will require new vsa modulator" the vehicle has been taken into the Honda dealer for inspection (see above statement). It has not been inspected by the police or by the insurance. No! there were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms to indicate a possible malfunction of the system. This issue first appeared on the 6 July 2022. After doing several independent research about this failure, associated fix and cost to repair. I realized that this is a major issue affecting this make, model, trim, and year. It also extends to these manufacture's other models, trims, and years prior to and after. A simple search of 2014 Accord "fcw failed" will highlight the broad scope of this issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle, causing the vehicle to drive over a residential yard. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake lines had ruptured. The dealer replaced the brake lines, hoses, and gaskets. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.

Brakes- rear calipers wear uneven on the inside pad 5mm outer and 1mm on inner. This is a safety hazard because seeing the outer pad still was in specifications that I did not need to replace them just yet. Got my car completely inspected due to grinding noise and found that the inner pad was metal to metal ruined my rotor costing me more money as well as if I hadn’t gotten it inspected could have caused an accident. Headlights- new battery installed and headlights still flicker sometimes even completely turn off, I have to pull over and bang on the housing to get them to power back on. That is also a risk to my safety and others if they are to completely turn off again in the night time others won’t see me. Not the only time it has happened. I’ve ran recalls on my VIN but dealer said there was no open recalls.

Abs computer module has gone bad because of the way it was made and poses a hazard to the break system. I have noticed that I have to apply pressure to my breaks. I have called the dealer and this part is on back order, which means I am not the only one with this issue. There should be a recall on this part. I am afraid to drive my car with any passengers in fear my breaks won’t work. I ask that you take a serious look into this problem. I have been dealing with this problem for a year because despite the lights being on, no code was producing the problem until now. This started happening after I popped a tire, front driver side.

Abs module faulty causing abs light, brake light traction light power steering light and tpms light to all be on. A car pulled out in front of my car and as I attempted to brake the car it wasn't responding causing a very bad accident and totally my car due to poor handling and the inability to stop the vehicle.

While driving the vehicle, stalling, and braking hard the electronic power steering, vehicle stability assist, forward collision warning, antilock braking system, lane departure warning and parking brake indicator lights all activated. I took the vehicle to my mechanic who diagnosed a faulty vsa modulator control unit. When I attempted to order the part we were informed that the part is backordered 3-6 months.

Vsa solenoid valve malfunction, vsa modulator control unit power source circuit (ig) low voltage, low tire pressure. Abs-121-11, power steering -85-01 air conditioning module -b 1241 4 Smart entry ecu codes- b12d0-ig1a power output malfunction b12d-ig1b and b12d0-power output malfunction b12d3 ig latch circuit(keep hold circuit) malfunction fcw system.

A sensor in the abs module has failed, and has caused fcw, ldw, abs, tcs to all not work. Honda wants me to replace the module, but says the parts on back order for forseeable future and that they can’t do anything for me. How can 1 part cause the failure of so many safety systems? how can they not stock this important repair part? everytime I drive, my safety and the safety of those around me is compromised, and Honda’s solution given to me from the dealer was to call back in 3 months to check if the part can be ordered. (and then pay $2000 to have it installed).

Abs module/modulator is faulty. Dashboard lights come on and anti lock brakes do not work in rainy conditions or any condition when braking hard to stop. Many people have experienced the exact same thing. The dealership confirmed that it is the abs/gas modulator.

The forward collision warning and lane departure warning systems failed and the alerts for abs and steering come on. Dealer says it needs an abs modulator, but there are none in the united states.
