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 NHTSA 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 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.

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 daughter was backing my car into the garage when the car started to roll forward, hitting my other car, I asked if she put it in drive and she told me no. I asked her to place the emergency brake on. I then pushed the car into the garage. I asked a mechanic to come look at the car, in my garage, he told me the axle had broke. I asked him if has ever seen this and he said it was very unusual. He also told me it looks as if has rusted in the spot that broke. I looked on the internet and noticed a recall on Honda accord axles rusting, do to not being rust proofed and the he salt in the Midwest region causing the axle to rust. The component was front axle.

The front axles of my front wheel drive car are rusting. The NHTSA 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

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.
