2014 Honda Accord suspension problems

Filed Oct 18, 2026 · Steering, Suspension · NE

"While driving, the front driver's side driveshaft snapped due to an active safety recall. The vehicle was towed to a dealership for the recall repair. Immediately after the new driveshaft was installed, the car began shaking violently under braking and driving. The dealership inspected it and diagnosed a broken tie rod caused by the snapping driveshaft, but the dealer is refusing to cover the consequential damage or towing reimbursement, leaving an unsafe vehicle undriveable on their lot the incident happened "While stopped at a traffic light at [XXX] and [XXX] taking a left turn, I pressed the gas to go through the intersection. The vehicle made a loud clunk sound and completely lost all drive power (driveshaft snapped). I had to manually push the car ('Flintstone it') out of the intersection to safety.". After losing all power during a left turn at [XXX] and [XXX], I coasted down and up a hill. Because the broken axle severed the transmission connection, the vehicle would not hold in Park, causing it to roll and end up facing the wrong direction on the wrong side of the street while waiting for a tow. The car was subsequently towed to the dealership for the recall repair." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I brought my 2014 Honda Accord to Honda of Westport (authorized dealer) to complete the active driveshaft safety recall. The dealer informed me the recall COULD NOT be performed unless I first paid $708.31 out of pocket to replace both front ball joints. I was given no choice - pay or leave with the recall unresolved. No vehicle owner should face a financial barrier to completing a federally mandated safety recall

Vehicle drives fine but a week ago the steering, traction, ABS, & brake lights all lit up on my Accord's dashboard. Took car to our regular mechanic, who then conducted diagnostic testing. This in turn, indicated that the ABS control module is the cause. Steering, traction, & braking are quite vital in the safe manuerving of stopping & controlling a vehicle in motion. If unable to manageable do so, I, as well as many others are potentially at risk.

Power steering, and ABS light flash on at random. The vehicle sometimes veers off and steering is frequently very very loose or very very tight. Also, there is a whining that never stops when I turn the wheel all the way to the left or right, the vehicle almost shut off and the entire dash and radio shut off and back on. When I am at a stop or cars at idle everything will dim and car. Sounds like it’s almost going to die and then back to normal had looked at and they couldn’t find any noticeable issues.

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.

Rear tire wear consistent with suspension issue. Rear tires with normal tread wear are chucked and causing vibration. Currently running goodyear eagle ls-2 tires and this is the second set that have failed in this manner.

Both of my back tires got cupping on the inside. I took to dealer and they said it was an alignment issue or lack of rotation. I have checked a couple of cars from my neighbors and they have the exact same problem. Their tires are damage. I took the car to my mechanic and he said the struts are the problem.

Very rough ride specially in the rear of the vehicle. It's been the same since we bought the car at end of 2014. The car's suspension does not keep the car planted at high speeds, and almost bounces off the road with a medium size bump while either a grand marquis or mustang can manage the same bump (the same toll road 241 has the same bump across the two lanes). I went over that bump recently on a trip with the honda, really accentuating the problem and reminding me how this could be a safety issue. This "family" sedan rides rougher than my 2006 mustang gt, all due to what I think is the wrong shock/strut spec, which honda should have sorted out before mass production.

There is a very loud humming/roaring noise that is coming from the driver's side rear wheel. I thought it was tire related and was talked into new tires in which the problem is still there. After some research, it is looking as if the noise is being produced from the rear wheel bearing. I can turn sharply to the left, relieving pressure/weight from the left rear and the noise significantly reduces. Turning sharply to the right, (increasing pressure to the left rear) increases the noise. It is currently being diagnosed by my honda dealer. The noise started at around 35k and has continually gotten worse.

Shortly after buying my car brand new I heard a clunk noise come from the driver's side front wheel area. I brought it into the dealer and they said they could not find any problems. Today, at around 27k miles the noise has evolved into a rattle which is heard while going over small bumps or around a sweeping right hand turn.
