2014 Honda Accord wheels problems

Filed Sep 17, 2025 · Brakes, Electrical · MD

I am writing to report a persistent and dangerous safety defect in my 2014 Honda Accord involving the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) / ABS / ABS modulator / ABS ECU system. The ABS, VSA, and other warning lights have been on for years, first noticing around 60-70,000 miles indicating an ongoing fault in the system. The dealer has diagnosed a bad ABS/VSA modulator and/or ECU and stated this is a common issue and that often this part is on backorder. Most recently, while turning the car, the system locked or mis applied the brakes, causing the car to lose control and spin out. Luckily I did not crash as the car behind me was at a safe distance, but I ended up on the side of the highway in a dangerous situation. The Center for Auto Safety shows multiple complaints for 2014 Accord, including: ABS, VSA, traction control, stability control failures; owners say they were told a VSA modulator needs replacing Owners report DTC codes like 81‑19 (“yaw rate sensor internal circuit malfunction”) and 81‑20 (ABS CPU internal circuit malfunction) in 2014 Accords. Owners report ABS and VSA not functioning, lights all on, and concerns that braking or stability control will fail, especially in poor conditions. Given the large number of similar reports for this model and year, this appears to be a systemic defect in the ABS/VSA modulator/ECU system in 2013‑to‑2017 Honda Accords, including 2014. Because this is a safety system (brakes, stability control), the defect creates a real risk of crash, injury, or death. I request that the federal safety agency: Open a formal investigation into the ABS/VSA modulator/ECU failures in 2014 Accords (and related years). Determine whether a recall is needed. Require Honda to provide fixed or replacement units without cost to owners or reimbursment Ensure parts are available (i.e. not back‑ordered) and that the repair is effective and safe.

My 2014 Honda has been have 2 major issues over the life of the vehicle. 1. VTC Actuator - prior to the oil indicator light coming on and the time to change the oil, my car screams out a loud consistent noise. I have reported this concern to Team Honda in Baton Rouge on numerous occasions. The most recent repost was on [XXX]. I am concerned my engine will fail or explode. 2. Tires Light Indicator (See Pictures) My tires were check on [XXX] and I spent almost $300 on a new tire. The same light which were on on that day came back on. All 4 of my tires were checked out and 3 out of 4 of them were in good condition. This has also been an ongoing issue. The tire light random come on, then the other 5 (all related) flashed an the dashboard. My first time experiencing this was less than a month after getting my vehicle but the tires was still covered under warranty at that time. By these lights coming on during non-emergencies, the consumer can not identify when the vehicle actually needed to be serviced. Both has been ongoing and reported for years and fed up with these issues. I am surprised they have not issued a recall yet! Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from a Honda representative very soon. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The ABS, VSA, EPS, and the parking brake systems began to appear on my dashboard. After diagnostics, it appeared that the VSA modulator was failing to provide all these components that are needed for safety in all driving conditions. After doing some research, I came to know that the modulator failure is very common in the Honda Accord models from year 2010 and above. Yet, Honda has yet to recall vehicles for this issue that affects the brake and steering systems. So far, the lights continuously appear and disappear. However, there is a huge difference when the intermittent lights appear. The car swerves too easily on rainy days when running through a puddle on the street. Even on windy days, sometimes it cannot handle when I am driving against the wind. The car's steering system feels too vulnerable and sensitive when these lights are on given that I have none of that systems providing the extra safety components. I fear that one day when I have to brake suddenly to prevent I crash, I will lose control instead and cause a fatal accident. The part is too expensive and total costs can reach up to $3,000 or more, and like everyone else who has reported this issue. I cannot afford to repair it as of now, but will need to be on a day where the financials can support the repair.

'takata recall' recently I purchased a 2014 honda accord from a dealership which made this my first car ever. Everything was going right up until 3 months of me having the car. My brakes went out without me knowing because someone from that dealership broke off the little chip that makes the squeaking noise. I took it to the dealer to explain to them what had happen showing them the evidence and they made it seem like I was lying while driving on hwy 16 I ended up having a blowout on the passenger side of my car and messed my front fender up. Two(2)months after that in march I purchased a brand new battery because the battery that came with the car had died out. Prior to that I never knew the alternative was the reason for the battery to constantly die out. On march 15 2018 I went back to the dealership to let them know and even inspect my car when one of the manager came to talk to me he said there was absolutely nothing they could do because my warranty was only 30days. Now not knowing anything about a warranty how am I suppose to know or knew all of these problems were going to happen. When I asked about a manufacturer warranty I was told I didn't have one and they were not going to help me with my car. May 10 2018 my friend found out she had a recall on her starter and went and got another one. Now when I locked up the honda recalls I seen there were two: one for the battery and the second was for the starter. I contacted the dealership again leaving voicemails after voicemail until I couldn't take it anymore and just went up there. As I walk in I asked to speak to the person who was in a hire position. As we are talking he ask me how long I had the car, how many miles, and the question of all when is your warranty expired. After he found out the warranty was expired there was nothing he could do for me. I pay 400 and haven't had the car for a year yet.

The tire pressure light keeps coming on. I'd bring my car into the dealer to check my tires, re-inflate my tires and reset the light, and the light would come back on a couple of weeks later. This has happened repeatedly. I'm tired of taking my car every time this happens, and having to check my tires seemingly all the time.
