In 2020, there was a recall (#20V769) on the driveshaft of the 2014 Honda Accord. The car was in the Midwest for 4 years, so I was concerned that the issue with corrosion could directly impact the vehicle due to weather conditions. I went to have the recall serviced, but still noticed the car to be sluggish upon shifting in to gear. I reported the concern to the Honda dealer to see if it was repaired correctly and to understand why it took time for the car to "switch" in to gear. After review, they said nothing was wrong with the car. I continued to have these issues, however every time I went to the Honda service team to get an oil repair the diagnosis report did not show any issues with the transmission. There was a recommendation to get the transmission oil changed, which I did in March 2023. The car will still sluggish after this service. On July 25, 2024 the cars transmission/ drive power disengaged in the middle of a busy road. The car came to a complete stop while moving. The gear shaft failed to engage with the transmission. Prior to this no transmission warning had ever triggered, nor reported by Honda's diagnosis reports. I again stated my concern that the driver shaft may not have been repaired correctly to Honda. They instead faulted that the wrong transmission fluid caused " Transmission is burnt up causing issue of not moving. Tech found transmission has wrong fluid installed which caused internal wear and failure of transmission parts." This statement is false. The car stopped on July 25. In an effort to problem solve the transmission fluid was drained and the incorrect fluid was used, but that was after the car was not shifting, so if the transmission was in fact burnt from the wrong fluid it was a result of the service in 2023. However, that is not the cause of the issue. I believe that failure to repair the drive shaft correct resulted in effects on the transmission that were either intentionally omitted or were not discovered.

Mechanic noted that drive shafts were corroded and unsafe and they were replaced. This appears to be the same issue as the federal safety agency RECALL NUMBER:20V‑769, however, my VIN was not covered under this. I think this issue affects more than the accords with CVT transmissions in recall 20V‑769. I bought this car and live in MA.
I got the transmission problem in my car. When I was in traffic, and try to accelerate, the car started jerking multiple times. This car suddenly jumps/jerks when I try to accelerate in the slope.

I was driving on a highway at around 75 mph when I suddenly lost power. I could hear the engine running but there was no power in the wheel. I could feel that the vehicle was decelerating so in panic I activated the emergency light and immediately stopped the vehicle on the side of the road. Even when the vehicle was idle for some time, I could hear the engine running but there was no power on the wheel, so I think the issue is with transmission. The vehicle is not movable but if you guys are willing to visit me, it is available for inspection. This issue put my safety as well as the safety of others at risk as it suddenly lost power in an expressway. If I hadn't realized the deceleration sooner, I would have been in a bad rear-end accident with other vehicle. I will be taking my vehicle to a Honda dealership soon for diagnosis. No, the vehicle has not been inspected by any of the mentioned parties. As far as I know, there were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
Had a call from Honda to check drive axle for corrosion. I took the car in. They said they were ok. I had some work done yesterday and my mechanic is very concerned about my axles saying they were badly rusted out. Looked almost completely corroded and I should do something about them. I'm not sure what to do as I have been to Honda for other reasons just recently and they did not say anything about that in their usual reports they give when you show up there so I figured to talk about it here to see if I could get some help. I only have pictures of them and they look very bad.
The EPS on my 2014 Honda Accord EX-L did not perform its primary functions. Such as steering. The steering wheel became very difficult to move. The wheel was extremely stiff and vibrated at the slightest attempt to turn in either direction. I am grateful this did not happen while I was driving on the road.

I have a issues that when I’m at a stop light and then I start pressing the pedal to accelerate, the vehicle don’t moved or don’t respond on time. I have to press the pedal several times for the transmission to respond
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.
My son was driving and the car just shut down. When he tried to start the car it would not move no matter what gear you put it in ex. Drive,reverse. No warning lights came on. Had it towed to a Honda dealership and the said it was the transmission. I have not had any problems prior to this either.
The front axles of my front wheel drive car are rusting. the federal safety agency has issued a safety recall for this problem (Recall Number 20V‑769, MFR Campaign ID: W9F, Campaign Description: 2013-2015 Accord Driveshaft Inspection Safety Recall, Recall Date: 12/18/2020). Honda issued a service bulletin (#20-125), however my VIN number is not included in this recall. This is a dangerous situation if one of the axles were to fail at a high speed (I drive about 100 highway miles per day, M-F). I filed a request with Honda to include pay for the repair to my car, but today (2/2/22) they declined my request because the VIN number is not included in the safety recall. I have pictures of the rust on each axle and have a certified Honda mechanic's report (from the Honda dealership where I bought the car) that recommends both front axles be replaced due to this problem
Driving down road and engine started to shake going from 0 to driving speed. while driving heard/felt a big shake and car was no longer able to drive car forward. when it came to a stop. i tried all gears but non would respond. i was luck enough to be on a 2 lane street instead of a highway.
Received a recall notice from honda for the driveshafts premature failure on the 2014 accord models. This failure is related to premature corrosion of the driveshafts. Then we received notice that the vehicle recall was canceled because " we don't live in a snow area and that no corrosion should have occurred. This is nebraska! Plenty of salt and snow! And when the vehicle was in for regular service in july, the mechanic showed me the axles and "strongly advised a replacement" even before we had received any recalls from the manufacturer. I reached out to the local honda dealer and they stated that there was a recall for driveshafts and provide me with the recall website. So I submitted the required information to the honda recall web site.this included the service information, appropriate invoices and the original recall sheet. 6 weeks later, honda customer service called me and stated there would not be any reimbursement for the replacement of the defective drive shafts. They based their decision on the assumption that nebraska was not a snow state nor would corrosion be a factor.given the number o f honda's on the streets in nebraska, I just can't believe my vehicle is the only one with defective driveshafts. I have the bill and the first hand look at the defects to prove differently. I believe honda should expand the recall to include nebraska and this is a serious safety issue.
I was driving on the highway and myautomaric transmission completely failed on me. I heard a loud noise and the car came out of gear, and I was forced to pull off to the shoulder and get a tow. I have maintained my car extremely well since I purchased it new, and at 90k miles I'm appalled that the transmission would fail. Im being told it will cost $6000 to replace. This will be the last honda I buy.

My car is subject to the federal safety agency recall number20v-769. The honda dealer will not repair it unless I pay another $1,500 for parts. My dealer said this was a "money grab" by honda and all related parts and labor at 4.5 hours. I should not have to pay for a recall because my driveshaft needs to be replaced.
Approx. 165000 I had to replace the transmission. The CVT transmission blew with me only owning for approx. 2.5 years. I'm now on my 3rd CVT transmission and honda blamed me for the malfunction. I was driving to pick up my 3 year old from daycare when I heard a bang and items falling from my car. I was able to coast and park in a church parking lot.
February 13, 2021 around 11:45 I was driving with my son and his friend & my dog with me, I about to make a left in intersection when I hit the gas pedal I hear a noise under my car (boom) then the car won't go foward even though I hit gas. Then I put in reverse it's the same thing it won't stop the car are still moving backward so I hit the brake and the car stop in the middle of intersection. So I put the gear in "p" park position but the car are still moving down the hill. Slowly by slowly backwards and then I hit the snow on the side road that's why the car stop. I'm so nervous on that moment even my son and his friend are scared.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under the federal safety agency campaign number: 20v769000 (power train) in which both the driver's and passenger's side front drive shafts were replaced. The contact indicated that 10 days later while driving approximately 8 MPH and making a right turn, a loud popping and banging noise from the front end had occurred. After stopping to inspect the vehicle, the vehicle began to roll away with the shifter in park position. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer who confirmed that the replacement driveshaft had fractured and the failure was due to poor casting of the part. No further information was available. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.
Putting vehicle in reverse, the car jerked and shut off thenstarted on own. Repeated twice. This happened once while making a broken u turn in a culdesac, the other was in my parking spot.
Car was parked in driveway stationary in park and just rolled off out of the driveway by itself.I have a video but I unable to load on here. Proof video.
While driving to work ABS, vbs and steering lights all come on at same time. Brought into the dealer ship as a safety issue. Vehicle had approximately 103,000 miles. Dealer ran diagnostics and reset sensors, said it could be a bad module in the brake system would cost $1800 to replace. Drove car for 2 days all lights came back on. Questioned dealer about module and how common replacement was. They said never replace them. Researched the issue and found that it is very common and causes many issues, dealer/ manufacturer knows of issue and refuses to correct issue in cars with much less miles. Complained to dealer with no response.
All 2013-2016 honda accords with v6 engines and automatic transmission have a design failure that causes the starter and torque converter to grind intermittently until they fail. This design failure creates an extremely dangerous condition and can lead to the owner stranded. The cost to repair this problem is over $4,000 . My failure started within the first 3 years of service with less then 50,000 miles. I've had to pay for 3 new starters and the problem still occurs. An online search show this problem occurs at a very high rate on these vehicles. I believe the problem is the engine and transmission won't align and even after the torque converter is replaced the problem will still occur because of the clearance failure due a manufacturer design issue.
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.
The transmission went out while I was driving my 2014 honda accord. More specifically, I was driving out of a mall's parking lot. There are only 85,636 miles on the car and the car was made in america in january 2014. Prior to this event, there weren't any issues or alerts regarding the transmission.
Purchased 2014 accord 5 years ago, and my oil light came on so I called to get my car service since my oil life said I was at 30%. I am now being told that my car is burning a lot of oil. Of course, when I am out of warranty. The dealership performed the oil consumption test after I reached 1k miles from my oil change and they said I may need to replace piston rings or get a new engine. I find it surprising for a car that is only 5 years old needs a new engine. Honda must be lying to their customers and failing the emissions test as their cars are burning way too much oil. Honda is not doing anything to fix this; it was a problem with the older cars (hence the recall for 2008-2011 models) and seems like it continues to be problem for the newer cars. Keep in mind, I have gone to the same dealer for all of my services and kept up to date with maintenance; and I was never told I had low oil in these five years.
The car is burning oil. I completed an oil consumption test as requested by the honda dealer and the oil consumption is high, leading them to conclude that the car is burning oil.
