power train · 2020-10-12 · 20V769000

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission that were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts' protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.

Risk: A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing both the left and right drive shafts, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2021. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Honda Accord vehicles. The case for the battery sensor, part of the battery management system, may allow water to get in, potentially causing an electrical short.

Risk: An electrical short increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensor, free of charge. Dealers will perform an interim remedy of applying adhesive to the case to prevent water intrusion. The recall began November 8, 2017. Owners may contact American Honda Customer Support Center at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KG0.

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)
