The driver side visor has flopped down and has needed to be replaced twice. It is very difficult to repair this yourself and I have had to do it twice. This is ridiculous. It-??s a safety hazard because it won-??t stay up in position and it won-??t go towards the windshield either. I initially replaced this four years ago.

Car has bad battery sensors. When checking the battery status, it always says the battery is in good condition but it is actually dead. The car also consistently puts out a code "P219A." Dealership suggest that fuel injectors are going bad but the fuel injectors shouldn't go bad this early.

Have replaced starter 2 times in 5 months, car would start sometimes, sometimes leaving me stranded. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There was a sudden loss of all control of the vehicle for a few seconds, i.e., no steering/braking etc. and swerved; it could have easily caused an accident if there were any cars in the next lane. When control came back, pulled to a left turning lane and stopped. After a couple minutes, started driving again slowly and with fear. There were/are no warning lamps/messages/symbols prior to or after this happened.

Car Dashboard is showing failure of ABS, FCW, LDW related to the ABS Modulator according Honda dealership diagnostics. This issue seems to be related to this generation of honda accords as per other reports on forums and discussions. It impacts the braking of the vechicle as well as advanced safety features that are relied on. I have take the car to be checked out by a honda dealership and it was identified as an issue with the ABS modulator.

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.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" Computer System Firmware, available for inspection, currently at dealership. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk" Multiple dashboard functions not functioning at random. Appears related to a firmware update provided under another recall (Bulletin 15-055:6ZS00EPS Software Update). It is suspected due to timing of incident onset, beginning the day after service. Firmware was installed by dealership service dept. It is unknown at this time all of the buttons affected. Since buttons on steering wheel are affected, and cruise control is also located there, this could pose a severe hazard if cruise control does not respond to a disable request. Cell Phone, radio, display change functions do not work from dashboard. There was a follow up software update (on same EPS system) performed by dealership on June 30, 2020 that improved condition for one day, returning to same issues on the 2nd drive. Details of this update: previous version: 39990-T2F-A010 Update program: 39990-T2F-A020 program part number: 39990-T2F-3050-M1in control module 39980-T2F-A014 Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center" Yes. Jim at the dealership confirmed the issue within 30 seconds of his investigation. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others" Yes, dealership service center. Will be at dealership 2022-07-11 to 2022-07-15 (estimated) Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No prior indication until a dashboard function is used. First appeared 2022-05-17

Car does not start on the first attempt. Starter does not crank. It makes a click sound. Need to try upto 5 times until it cranks and starts the engine. Took the car to a mechanic and diagnosed a bad starter that needs replacement. I'm disappointed that the starter failed at only 58000 miles.
