What 958 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid

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)

In the dashboard, EPS (Electronic Power Steering), VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), ABS (Anti Lock Brake system), and BRAKE lights would turn on and off Intermittently. The lights could turn on starting the car in the morning or after driven for some time, for short period of time - 15 minutes to long period of time - 60 minutes. When these lights are on initially, a clank could be typically heard. When driven and slowed to around 10 MPH, the high-to-low whine could be heard. At low speeds, the car jerks on deaccelearation and acceleration. The car may be difficult to drive smoothly at low speeds. OBDII reader found no fault codes. Reports of other cars with simillar problem indicate issue with ABS module, wheel speed sensor, and/or battery.

I took my 2014 Honda Accord Ex in for repairs on September 4, 2023 and the Honda dealership informed me that after replacing the battery that the it that the VSA Modulator on the car has gone bad which has been a common problem with this year Honda Accord and others from 2013 all the way to the 2017. And this part has been on back order for months. This a shame.

Car occasionally experiences unintended acceleration. This happening today 9/4/2022. Car was brought to a complete stop. It suddenly accelerated while the foot was still on the brake, causing it to rear-end the car in front. Thankfully there no physical injuries reported (yet) We had experienced this a couple of time before. I had contact Honda as well as the local dealer and they cleared the car with no changes.

A strange thing occurred while I was dropping my grandchildren to school on 3/30/22 at 8:45 AM.  After dropping off the kids, as I started the car in the car drop off lane, there was no acceleration despite me hitting the accelerator, the car would not accelerate, and cars exiting the school parking lot backed up behind my car. Suddenly, the car accelerated in an uncontrolled manner on its own, brakes did not work, and all warning lights on the side of the dashboard came on.  I steered the car towards an empty area and was ready to crash it into an obstacle to bring it to a stop.  I tried to put the car in park but despite putting it in park, the car continued its acceleration forward. I also tried to turn off the car by hitting the start/stop button but the car would not turn off. The car accelerated uncontrollably for at least 0.3 miles. After this uncontrolled and automatic acceleration, the car came to a stop. I had the car towed to the Honda dealership. Honda dealership advisor told me that there was no recall on this model.  However, a quick search on car message boards shows that this phenomenon of sudden and uncontrolled acceleration has been reported on 2014, and 2015 and 2016 Honda Accord model year cars as well. Fortunately, no children or their parents in the school were injured this time.   I hope you will direct the Honda dealership to identify and fix the problem.  I am afraid to drive the car without understanding the reason for this frightening experience.  Dealership address is 675 State Avenue Emmaus PA 18049 Phone number 610-965-1365 Associate who is helping me is Michael Paxos

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST, FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING AND PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL ACTIVATED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT, HONDA PART # 57110-T2G-L02. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO ORDER THE PART WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE PART IS BACKORDERED WITH NO EXPECTED RELEASE DATE. THAT WAS JUNE 2, 2020. TODAY IS JUNE 22, 2020 AND I CALLED HONDA AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULT. I BELIEVE THE WARNING INDICATORS ARE ACCURATELY COMMUNICATING THAT THESE SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE OFFLINE AND AM NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN REPAIR IT. IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE AND UNSAFE THAT HONDA CANNOT PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT FOR SUCH A CRUCIAL SAFETY-RELATED PART. *TR
