1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator failed. This component is responsible for controlling the stability and traction of the vehicle. The faulty part is still installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The failure of the VSA modulator compromised the vehicle’s ability to maintain stability during braking and cornering, especially in wet or slippery conditions. This increased the risk of losing control of the vehicle, potentially endangering myself, passengers, and others on the road. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the issue has been diagnosed and confirmed by a certified service center. They identified the VSA modulator as the faulty component requiring replacement. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has been inspected by a certified service center, but not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives at this time. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, warning lights related to the VSA and ABS systems appeared on the dashboard. These indicators first came on approximately 4 months ago when I was going through an automatic car wash, signaling a malfunction in the stability control system.

I brought my 2014 Honda Accord to an authorized Honda dealership to have the CV axle recall completed. The dealership informed me that they would not perform the recall unless I paid out of pocket for “stripped/over-tightened bolts” that must be removed in order to complete the recall. Since this is a federal safety recall, I understand the law requires the manufacturer and dealer to complete the recall at no charge, including all labor and parts necessary to carry out the repair. By refusing to perform the recall unless I pay, the dealer is preventing me from receiving a federally mandated safety repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter and ensure Honda/dealership complies with recall obligations.

I'm trying to file a complaint about the 2014 Honda accord having a defective starter!! My starter went out on my car today and apparently it's very common problem on my year of Honda accord! Why hasn't Honda issued a recall on their starters for the 2014 Honda accords???? My neighbor is a licensed mobile mechanic and just confirmed that yes my starter is bad and I will need a new one! I don't have any documentation to upload because he did not charge me since we are next door neighbors! I definitely have decided that I won't be wasting my money buying a genuine Honda accord starter and will go with a aftermarket one because after reading reviews and stuff I am worried that I will be wasting my money on a obviously very problematic auto part and nobody had anything good to say about the starter for my year make model of car !! If I am not in the right section on this website that I should be 2 file a complaint about my starter then please let me know where I need 2 go to file it so hopefully Honda will finally fix the problem and recall the starter that is defective! Thank u

part 66988 was diagnosed and confirmed starter motor not engaging replaced starter motor and verified repairs for 1062.11 dollars. I was stranded multiple times with the car not starting, as this problem was intermittent. we have a number of hondas, the starter never failed. I looked at your web site and there were many complaints about this problem. I contacted honda customer service and they refused to acknowledge that this is a known problem, and not subject to recall. I want to call your attention that many honda customers have lodged complaintes and a recall notice should be considered. thank you

Honda has issued a service bulletin for a known issue with the starter on my 2014 Honda Accord V6. I have been in several situations with my children where my car would not start for 2-3 hours. This is very much a safety concern in a Michigan winter! The repair to this costs ~$750 and only needs to be done because of a manufacturing error.

Replaced it in August of 2023, after purchasing from dealership in January 2023, driving 5k miles, then replaced it again today January 26 2024. I drove less than 1k miles since August! This time the starter made a loud whirling sound but started 3 days ago, yesterday it didn't it again and would not start at all, causing me to lose a days work thankful not stranded again. Took to mechanic and had 3rd starter put in today.

Failed VSA Module. Affects the ABS and connected systems. Safety risks: reduced safety due to skidding, reduced steering control during braking, accelerated tire wear, tire deformation, increased breaking distance, wrong brake force distribution, error codes on dash, and decreased function of other systems that rely on ABS. Honda dealer confirmed the issue and said this was very common in accords around the same year. Error codes on dash that appeared were traction control, ABS, power steering, and E-brake.

I am having starter issues with my vehicle. I have taken great care of this vehicle and started having issues with the car last year. I replaced the starter because it would not start back, if I turned the car off while running errands ( shopping or filling up with gas). I have now replaced the starter 3 times, and replaced the ignition switch and batteries. I have run every possible diagnostic at the dealership and at local mechanics in my city. I am concerned that I am reading that many drivers across the USA are facing this issue and the dealership cannot fix it or the local repair shops.

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?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY (02/13/2021) AT HONDA OF MILFORD IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT IN USA FOR SAFETY RECALL. I WAS DENIED FOR A SERVICE ON SAFETY RECALL AFTER I HAVE ASKED THE RECEPTIONIST AT THE SERVICE DESK WHEN I HE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME WHILE I WAS WAITING IN LINE MORE THAN FEW MINUTES. THE RECEPTIONIST WAS USING OBSCENE LANGUAGE WHEN I WAS WAITING IN LINE IN AN UNPROFESSIONAL MANNER. ANOTHER EMPLOYEE OF THIS DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO INVOLVED AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY BECAUSE I ASKED HIM WHO HE WAS. I BELIEVE I WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY AND DENIED A SERVICE FOR SAFETY RECALL AFTER SIMPLY ASKING FOR AN ASSISTANCE WHILE WAITING IN LINE. PLEASE, REGARD MY COMPLAINT INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU, RESPECTFULLY YOURS

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.

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.

MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX-L V6 HAS 58.000 MILES. I RECENTLY HAD MY STARTER REPLACED AND TORQUE CONVERTER ADJUSTED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A ISSUE HONDA IS AWARE OF AND HAS CREATED A BULLETIN (16-002). THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE, AND WHY WOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL ISSUED. IT'S CLEAR THIS IS A MANUFACTURING AND EQUIPMENT ISSUE IN ACCORD V6 2013-2016 AND CROSSTOUR V6 2013-15. WHY IS THE REPAIR AT THE CONSUMERS COST INSTEAD OF HONDA?

PURCHASED 2014 HONDA ACCORD IN 2017. ABOUT 18 MONTHS LATER, THE CLEAR COAT STARTED TO ERODE AWAY. I REGULARLY WAX AND WASH MY CAR. CURRENTLY, THE PAINT LOOKS CLOUDY, CHALKY AND IS ROUGH TO THE TOUCH. NOT AT ALL WHAT A 6 YEAR OLD CAR THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF SHOULD LOOK LIKE. I'M HIGHLY DISSATISFIED. I'VE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA DIRECTLY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO LEAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SITUATION AND ZERO RECOURSE.
