Engine vibrating at stop light and fcw and ldw failed

While driving the car at approx 45mph on a busy roadway the vehicle suddenly accelerated heavily I tried applying the breaks but the pedal did not go down and had no affect of slowing the vehicle. I was forced to swerve around several vehicles to avoid a collision then just as suddenly the car returned to normal operation. The duration on the incident was approx 5 to 10 seconds. Very dangerous and very scary.

I own a 2014 Honda Accord with the 2.4L engine, which has a well-documented oil consumption defect. Recently, I discovered that my engine was nearly dry and required approximately 60 ounces of oil just to bring the dipstick reading to the midpoint between the “low” and “full” marks. The car had been idling roughly at cold start, and the check engine light flickered briefly, which I now understand was due to oil starvation. This condition creates a serious safety hazard because sudden oil loss can lead to engine misfires, stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential damage to the catalytic converter. This is not an isolated incident — thousands of Accord owners from the same model years have reported excessive oil consumption, and Honda has issued technical service bulletins acknowledging the defect. Despite this, no recall has been issued and many affected owners are left to continually top off oil or risk engine damage. I believe this should be investigated as a widespread safety defect, as many drivers may not realize their cars are burning oil until the engine is dangerously low.

Just last week my engine started making a rattling sound from the bottom of the engine. This Honda has been properly maintained at the dealership and never gave any warning signs or symptoms. Now my mechanic says its the crankshaft and bearings. The check engine light turned on and the code was P0300.

I am a huge Honda fan and I’ve only owned Accords and I have friends with the same body style Accord as mine. Every last one of us have failed or malfunctioning ABS modules as well as continuous catalytic converter issues. I have exhausted my bank account and the issue still presents itself. Due to the failure of the converter, my car is now stalling only when the AC is running in the vehicle. I feel these issues are common and a true safety do driving due to stalling and ABS braking malfunctions.

I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L with not even 62,000 miles. When we purchased the car we got the extended warranty, thinking Honda would stand by their product. Not true. After the first month we had to have the battery replaced. Fast forward a few years and we were told we needed a new battery”wire harness” at a cost of over $2,000. Now it is 2025 and the backup camera only works when the turn signal is used; it remains a black screen when put into reverse. Add to that what is apparently a major problem with other Honda owners. When we go to start the car, we get nothing. The CAR DOESN’T START. Thinking that the key fob needed a battery, we replaced them with new batteries. It continues to be a problem. I have a fear I will be out one day and it will not start completely. I see that I am not the only person complaining of this and feel that Honda should issue a recall for the Accord addressing this problem. I feel that I may become stranded one day and this seems to be a SAFETY ISSUE.

Was driving to work on April 11,2025. Engine stopped working after stopping at red light, all lights on dash came on-causing me to have to push the car from a main road into a business in order to not impede traffic or get hit. Had to have it towed to a body shop. Waiting to see what is wrong with the car, will update with more information as I have it.
