Accord

  • 125,000 miles
Steering wheel suddenly locked up on me as I was driving down a 2 lane city street. Conditions were dry, and was in a residential area, so speed limit was 35. Upon not being able to steer the car I ended up hitting a cable line wire, and was spun into the front yard of some townhomes. I ended up also hitting some large rocks and landing in between 2 large trees. Upon coming to a stop, I then realize that the impact had also caused my side airbags to deploy. Due to the loud crash one of the residents came out to see what had happened as I had landed outside of her homes window. I then contacted the local police department, who came and did a report and contact a local towing Agency as the car was not drivable.

Accord

  • 110,000 miles
I have 4 warning lights on the dash brake, traction, steering and tire pressure warning lights. I was told that it has to due with a faulty ABS control module. The part has been sold out for some time. When I talked to the gentleman at the shop he told me that a lot people have been having a problem with this. The light are always on the car drives fine but I'm worried because it controls all of the safety associated with the car.

2014 Honda Accord had vsa, ABS, tire pressure and eps (steering) lights all come on at random and turn off at random. There is also a loss of steering accuracy at low speeds (lower than 5mph) on full lock. ABS would engage under braking at low speeds - at times when the ABS was not necessary to help the stopping of the vehicle, as well and engage and random times (10-25mph roughly). Honda dealership wants $1920 to fix the issue, and stated that they suggest not to drive the vehicle until the problem is fixed due to it being a safety issue. I feel this is indeed a safety issue for not only the driver, but others on the road. I am making this complaint so that both Honda and the NHTSA can understand that this is happening and can correct it and recall it. If the us government mandates (since Sept 1, 2013) cars must have ABS and electronic stability control (Honda's calls it vsa) than how is this okay to let Honda on the road with these failures. At the high price to fix this issue I doubt many Honda owners are willing to afford it.

Accord

  • 100,000 miles
In motion, lost steering - power steering became disabled. Fcw failure warning lights came on the dash and I pulled over. Stopped the car. Restarted and the lights cleared. Ran okay going home. Started next day and fcw lights came on again. The following 3 days the car ran fine, no alarm lights. Issue seems intermittent and seems dangerous if you can lose steering underway. Searched internet, seems like a lot of fcw failures and this electronic module apparently controls braking, steering, idle, transmission, etc.

Accord

  • 68,000 miles
The eps, brake, and ABS lights came on when I started the car and would not go off. We took the car to our mechanic who after doing diagnostics told us we need to take our car to a Honda dealer and not drive any more than we had to for safety reasons. The dealer determined it was the vsa modulator and cost $1788.78 to repair. Really disgusted with Honda as I read online where there have been several other Honda owners with the same problem yet there is still no recall on this problem!

Accord

  • 88,000 miles
I turned my car on one day and the light with the car and a squiggly line under started flashing then moments later the tire pressure light with the exclamation mark came on then weeks following the steering wheel light with the ! came on. I took my car to the tire place to check and they said nothing is wrong and after months of going back almost weekly at this point one of the techs says he heard other Honda Accord's were having the same problem and that it may be a false reading. Then after some weeks my ABS and brake light came on. At first it was only in the afternoon or later these light would come on but now it's whenever. Sometimes they go off after I start driving but then they eventually come back on. I looked on google and it appears this has happened to others stating there was some kind of faulty box thingy that is used to communicate between the lights going off and the car. I don't have the money to get someone to do all of this and if there are others having the same problem did Honda use a faulty part as others are saying? please help
