There are 50 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2014 Honda Accordin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
While driving the car at approx 45mph on a busy roadway the vehicle suddenly accelerated heavily I tried applying the breaks but the pedal did not go down and had no affect of slowing the vehicle. I was forced to swerve around several vehicles to avoid a collision then just as suddenly the car returned to normal operation. The duration on the incident was approx 5 to 10 seconds. Very dangerous and very scary.
I purchased this used vehicle. I have never received any recall information on this vehicle. The electric power steering system, tire pressure and the vehicle stability Assist indicators lit up after a successful vehicle inspection was conducted Thursday 11132025. A 2023 recall, identified by the NHTSA AS 23V-430, covers the issue and requires dealerships to replace the VSA modulator. I contacted the dealership and they told me they could not assist.
ABS, traction control, power steering, parking lights go on and off. ABS control module throws code DTC 121-11; VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Been going off and on for a few weeks. No warning before the lights came on. Heard this is a common problem with the early 2010s Honda Accords that needs a recall. Pulled the code from a personal OBDII scanner.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the ABS control module had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 180,000.

The ABS module control has failed in my vehicle. This failure is a potentially safety hazard. Per research, "Honda vehicles, particularly those from 2008-2017, have experienced ABS module failures, often indicated by an illuminated ABS light." A local Honda dealership diagnosed the issue. The vehicle has not bee inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance rep; however, the issue was diagnosed by a local Honda dealership. There are warning lights, that only appeared after the failure.
VSA modulator, that controls ABS, failed. (core 123-11 vsa solenoid malfunction). The car is not safe to operate, until the VSA module is replaced (part # 04571-T2F-L21).
ABS warning light went on after having front L&R axle replaced because it broke or drive shaft broke . Had rear brakes done at same time calipers rotors and pads. Also emergency brake fixed. Less than a week later ABs light went on a long with Ebrake and power steering lights and traction light . Would initially go on and off now mostly on.. Machanic said it reads Abs module. Seems coincidental that it went on a week after drive shaft broke. However after research this very expensive ABS module seem to be a frequently occurring problem with Honda accords. And unavailable parts to fix. I had a 2001 that ABS went on also. Honda should fix this problem issue a recall maybe and pay to fix .A huge expense for customers. Not sure I will buy another Honda
Abs module went out. Lights on dash turned on. Abs light, steering wheel light, break light, traction control light, took to the mechanic says it's the Abs module.
I am a huge Honda fan and I’ve only owned Accords and I have friends with the same body style Accord as mine. Every last one of us have failed or malfunctioning ABS modules as well as continuous catalytic converter issues. I have exhausted my bank account and the issue still presents itself. Due to the failure of the converter, my car is now stalling only when the AC is running in the vehicle. I feel these issues are common and a true safety do driving due to stalling and ABS braking malfunctions.
No accident involved . Warning lights pop up on dashboard. Honda diagnosed that my ABS modulator need to be replaced. I have seen many comments online that many people are experiencing this problem. Fix is very expensive and people who can least afford it are going to be driving without this problem being corrected and maybe causing accidents which could be fatal. Will provide diagnosis by dealer if requested.
There is a common problem with the VSA module failing on Honda's and there is no mfg recall. I believe there should be.
VSA module has gone bad. I’ve come to find out it is a common thing in certain Honda vehicles. I feel the braking and stability in my vehicle is compromised.
Abs module has gone bad. Many other accords same year have had same issue reported

ABS module failing and causing ABS sensor, TPS sensor, powersteering sensor and hand brake light turn on. Very dangerous when you meed ABS in action. When i research almost all cars from 2014 having this issue. Honda must recall this car to replace abs module
My 2014 Honda Accord 3.5-V6, 9 years old, it has almost 40,000 miles on it. Recently all warning lights show up on the dashboard (ABS, FCW, Traction control, LDW.....) Honda dealers said it take $3000 to fix it, they mentioned the Honda Accord 2014 is bad designed from Honda Company. I wish NHTSA look into this matter, investigate the quality of Honda Accord 2014. Honda must recall to fix the problems. Please. Help us to recall Honda Accord 2014-V6. As a retiree, I don't have much money $3000 to fix the ABS system. Thank you very much.
