RSA Modulator is the problem is a big Risk The Car can Loose Stability Whithout Any Warning and get into a big accident putting the risk of me my Family and others. i took my car to the Dealer to have service done and they found the Code storage about the RSA Modulator Faulty low Voltage and no Service light was showing in my Dashboard I know there is A Recall abouit it, but not for my car I don, t think is ok for me to pay amost $3000 for the repair when this is a safety issue. please i need help in this.
ABS system failed and is not working properly. Also the screen in the car for all of my interaction with my car including Bluetooth and any errors involving the car. If my brakes go out in the middle of driving it could cause me and my family to be unable to protect ourselves. I have confirmed the system with 2 different mechanics and both agree there should be a recall. The warning lamps go off and on and are unpredictable.
ABS Module went out on my vehicle while on the highway. Three lights came on, as shown in attached photo. Vehicle brake system began acting up in the moment. This is a very common issue on 2013-2017 Honda accords from all mileage amounts. They are all still on and while I can drive the vehicle, if there are any instances where I need to brake suddenly, myself and the people around me will probably end up in a dangerous collision. The Honda dealership has quoted me $2,600 to fix this with no additional information. Thousands of other drivers are experiencing the same issue. Shame on Honda for not allowing a recall on this.
The dashboard has four warning lights on : 1- Electronic power steering 2-ABS Anti lock brakes 3-Brake system 4-Vehicle stability assist I have taken the vehicle to 2 service centers and they both confirmed the problem is common among Honda cars dated between 2013-2017. They ran a diagnostic test confirming ABS module failure. Although the car is drivable they recommended I get the problem fixed, at my cost of $2800 for parts and labor. I called Honda corporate and they stated there are no recalls or extended warranties for the issue. If its is a common problem in their cars, they should fix it themselves at no cost to the consumer.
Please note the ABS module is defective and it is a safety risk. The vehicle stability the ABS, VSA, light is on dashboard. The ABS module computer electrical system is the heart of the braking system of the car. There needs to be a recall on this as soon as possible, which which puts everyone at risk

Hello, I have a 2016 Honda Accord EX-L which has roughly 105,000 miles. All of my brake lights, VSA, Traction control, and tpms lights came on. I went to get the vehicle diagnosed and the issue was with a faulty VSA modulator. This is a very expensive part and a feature in a vehicle that should not be faulty. I have already repaired this issue but I just find it ridiculous that something so standard has arised, and has cost me over $2,000 to fix. Can you please report honda and look into this. I know I"ve done the work but I feel like reimbursement should happen.
vsa modulator in the honda accords go bad, SPECIALLY the 2013-2017 Model Years. There are so many bulltins etc on the internet if you look it up youd see, millions of people are having the same issue. This affets braking & traction. Traction control is no longer useable and the ABS System does not work since this is all apart of the ABS system. search honda accord vsa modulator recall 2016 honda accord you will see tons and tons of complains about the same part. Honda knows and it seems as if they dont want to recall this. This is clearly a defect. I am unable to pass safety inspection in my state the last two years due to this issue. There is also none of these VSA modules in the States. ive asked time and time again and they dont have a n ETA. This is a HUGE safety concern as it affects braking and traction control. I also reached out to honda corporate as well as other people who have this issue. this issue has been reported to the NHTSA several times as well. this should NOT be happening. this is affecting millions of people and osmething needs to be done about it.
VSA ABS Module on 2016 Accord, throws all sorts of codes and millions of people are having the same ISSUE around the same time & milage, ranges from 2013-2017 Honda Accord. Can cause loss of traction, brake assisast. I've tried to have this repaird and there is also none anywhere to buy and honda doesnt want to issue a recall. THIS should be investiagted and honda be held accounatable.
In May 2023, a local Honda dealership confirmed a VSA Solenoid Malfunction in my 2016 Honda Accord Sport. All ABS, steering, traction, and brake lights are on in the car. Part is currently on backorder - due to timing, the warranty is expired (2k miles over coverage) and no longer covers issues like this. Don't feel safe driving car while lights are on.
On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, my wife was parking her car in the parking lot of a TJ Maxx, 4220 Summer Ave, Memphis, TN 38122. As she turned right into the parking space, at a very low rate of speed, 1-2 mph, the engine revved and launched her into another parked vehicle. Once the engine revved and launched she had both feet on the brake pedal. It did light damage to the vehicle she hit and moderate damage to her 2016 Honda Accord Coupe. The impact was hard enough to deploy the driver side airbag. No one was in the other vehicle and she did not sustain serious injury. The car was towed to a body shop. The other vehicle was drivable and insurances were exchanged.
While driving the car doing 40mph with foot on gas it slammed into a screeching stop all by itself! While still in drive!! No foot on the brake! So scary!! No indicator lights came on.
Vehicle pulls to the right randomly, sometimes hard, sometimes gently. Vehicle will also pull harder right when braking randomly. Sometimes vehicle will pull left when braking. Dealer has aligned the vehicle 3 times in a month no change. Still having same issue. Dealer tried to blame the brand new Michelin tires. I know there are steering issues with 2013-2015 Accords please consider adding 2016 Accords to this also. They also checked the brakes and suspension and say all that is good. I know I am not the only 2016 Accord owner complaining about this issue. Accord forums confirm this. Please investigate this. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. While driving 40 mph, the brake pedal was applied; however, the vehicle spontaneously accelerated and shook. The vehicle was shut off and restarted. There was an abnormal rumbling noise emerging from the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called lucas Honda of jacksonville (7801 blanding blvd, jacksonville, fl 32244, (904) 269-2277), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 29,500. The VIN was unknown.
I was driving on 35-38 mph in a 35mph zone. The road was curving in the form of a C and my tires started to skid. Once I applied brakes and I couldn't feel anything braking and once again applied, the car turned 90 degree, straightened out on the road but not completely meaning the car was still going forward in the direction on the road but a 30 degree angle. I couldn't control steering or brakes and hit a fire hydrant at the end. I asked the insurance company to contact Honda for details know the different control units and reading but they didn't want to go that route. Now my insurance rate is up and I have 2 points since the cops didn't believe it could have been the cars fault.
Led drl have both went bad, for no reason, worked one day didnt the next day thry were covered by thd 36K warranty, however, they have not fixed the underlying issue and once out of warranty, they are $1300 each! brakes have been resurfaced, front and rear. The car had 70 miles, a xealer traded it anx it sat on the lot for months, perhaps thd rust created pitting(davis Honda should have replaced the rotors, nog cut them at 5K then 10K. Current mileage is 16,800. Oh, and the paint chips/road rash is insane. The clear coat will be gone by 100K.
When traveling down a road straight about 45 mph the automatic braking system flashed 'brake' on the cluster and then the the car came to a stop when there was nothing in front of me that I could see. Car has 16000 miles on it and this has never happened before. The car behind me had enough room to stop in time. Took it to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong but a dirty camera code set.
When turning the wheel, squeaking coming from brakes. Had brakes checked, and there is no wear which requires brake replacement. This is a known issue of the tab getting off it's resting place and causing an erroneous squeaking. Everytime we ask the dealer about it, they say they cannot replicate. When you do a simple google search, the issue is documented all over the place. Thus, Honda is aware and is not addressing this issue.
