2014 Honda Accord: engine stalls while driving

Filed Oct 3, 2025 · Engine · CA

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.

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.

When driving at low speeds, for example looking for parking in my work parking lot, my 2014 Honda accord coupe lost power steering. Steering wheel became heavy and hard to turn. The screens flickered on the radio and the car felt like a manual car when it stalls. With every turn of the wheel the car would try to shut off. No warning light came on the dash. There was a car behind me when it happened. Even though it was a parking lot, the car behind me almost rear ended me since the car started to try to shut off when i was making a turn into the parking spot and he/she did not expect my car to stop before i completed the turn. This just happened an hour ago and since i had to come in to work I haven't taken it for a diagnoses yet.

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.

My 2014 honda accord is experiencing excessive oil consumption, lack of engine power, engine stalling issues and overall unsafe drivability conditions. I took the vehicle to albany honda on 5/4/2020 for them to diagnose and repair the issue but they could not duplicate the problems I was experiencing so they recommended an oil change and gasket valve cover replacement and charged me $262.08 for the service. I paid for the service and drove my vehicle off the lot with the severe issues still present. After 30 minutes of driving the vehicle the engine struggled to get up hills, began jerking, jolting violently and I was almost hit by oncoming traffic, I immediately called serve department back at honda and told them about the incident and that I was bringing the car back and for them to do a thorough inspection and diagnosis of the vehicle as it had become a safety hazard and I didn't feel safe driving it. The next day the tells me that they 'test drove' the vehicle again and that the mechanic noticed a 'slight surge' but still could not pinpoint the issue. They then recommended a host of completely unrelated expensive repairs that would cost me $600 to $700; money that absolutely no one has to spare during this nationwide pandemic. Frustrated and disappointed I ended up taking my vehicle to another certified repair shop and they diagnosed the issue as p0300'as an engine misfire. The shop refused to work on the vehicle because they said it's a serious issue and that honda should be responsible to repair my vehicle because they problem is a tsb bad piston rings that honda needs to address.

I believe it is a starter issue. When I go to start the vehicle it will often stall and not the start the first couple times and I can hear it try to start but fail. The car only has 39k miles on it and I was doing my research and a lot of other people have this same issue with their 2014 accord. I think this should be considered a recall and fixed by honda or refunded for repair by honda.

2014 honda accord lx 2.4 car has been burning excess oil of about 1 quart per 500 miles. Low pressure oil light has come on 3 separate occasions with car stalling. This happened after relatively short intervals between oil changes and adds. Tailpipe has excessive carbon buildup. Replaced pcv valve and issue continues. Car only has 100k miles on it. Dealers are of no help and describe the problem has normal. Honda has a recall on older model (2008-2011) models so it appears they have not fixed their engine problems. There are 1000s of complaints on the web about this issue. It's time that honda recalls these vehicles. I'm sure there are a lot of unsuspecting drivers out there who are unaware of this that could have a catastrophic engine failure . I was totally unaware. Of the problem until low pressure light flickered . When I checked oil it was bone dry. Please read the number of complaints . This is not normal for cars in this age range .

My 2014 honda accord plug in has stalled twice while driving (once on the freeway and once in the middle of a santa monica boulevard). No warning lights or noises to give me the fyi that it's stalling, it just suddenly starts to slow and if I press on the gas pedal it compresses to the floor with ease...it also shows me in EV mode when the car has no EV charge remaining. It's like it's in limp mode. Turning the car off and turning it back on again fixes the issue, but when I've taken it to the dealer (twice) they have pulled the computer and have found no records on the car. They say it's "as if the car has never been driven before".
