Failure Date: 05/11/2025

About a year ago, I was driving my car on the highway and it jerked and started smoking. At that same time, my forward collision warning came on. After doing a quick google search, I found I was not the only one with this issue. Honda dealership told me I needed a new vsa modulator that cost thousands of dollars. I finally was able to get it fixed, and now (today 5/11/25) less than a few months after getting a new vsa modulator, the same thing happened. This needs to be an official recall. It is a safety hazard.

7 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2024

I purchased this vehicle new, it has only 70,000 miles. Recently the dashboard lights lit up with a message that the forward collision warning system failed. I pulled over as soon as I could and began looking this up. First, I wanted to learn if it was safe to drive the car home or if I needed to have the car towed to a dealer. When I restarted the car thirty minutes later the warning lights were off. I got the car home and used an inexpensive obd reader to check for codes, none showed up. Later I took the car to a mechanic and his professional scanner found codes 81-19 and 81-20. There are many stories on youtube about the vsa/abs module failing.

8 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2023

1. Im experiencing an abs module failure (Honda calls it vsa module). 2. When the system messed up it causes my traction control and anti-lock brakes to turn off. 3. The problem has been reproduced as it keeps randomly turning all of the systems on and off randomly, multiple times during a single drive. 4. It has not been inspected by any of the people listed. 5. Nothing prior to the failure just all of a sudden my dashboard indicated that my electronic steering system, abs, forward collision warning system, lane departure warning system, and tire pressure monitoring system all shut down. When the codes were read it all leads back to a failure in the abs/vsa module. Reading articles online has shown me others that have had this issue has made me realize this is a very large number of vehicles affected and could cause great bodily harm or death to occupants or others on the roadway. Attached in the photo section I have supplied pictures of the codes currently on the vehicles computer. I have cleared the codes and the failure immediately came back and all safety systems turned back off.

12 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2023

1. Vsa modulator: vsa abs brake control module and is still in my car 2. Flashing lights distracting when driving and no replacements available per dealer (see below). Concern if problem causes break system degradation or failure. 3. I have the service record from performance kings Honda, cincinnati, OH 513-774-6013 with detailed notes below inv # 1146638 4. No, part is still installed in my vehicle so I can drive it 5. Ldw, fdw, abs, tps (tire), power steering, etc. Appeared without symptoms/warning in summer 2023. All of a sudden, many of the lights on the dashboard lit up. Ldw, fdw, abs, tps (tire), power steering, and maybe another one or two. Mechanic recommended changing the battery. After the battery was replaced, the lights should have reset automatically. When they didn't reset as expected, the mechanic tried to diagnose the issue and found no mechanical issues and didn't get a code from the scanner he had. After 6 months, I took the car to the Honda dealer who diagnosed the issue:"diag-electrical - found dtc-66-113 pressure sensor malfunction recommend replace vsa modulator. Dealer says the part is not available and there is no expectation of the part being restocked in the future "galactic back-order". Cost of $168 to diagnose the problem. This part is not available for sale any where on the internet, but could be remanufactured by vendors on ebay and amazon ( safety problem #1). Reviewed many postings across the internet from owners of Honda Accord 2014 and many other models and years. The warning lights being on and flashing constantly is very distracting and the error messages replace 2 of the functions on my odometer display. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle should the problem deteriorate further and various systems fail. The part is still in my car at this point and is available for inspection. This issue should be reported to Honda and covered by a recall.

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.

As a retiree, I don't have much money $3000 to fix the abs system. Thank you very much.

15 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2023

The major part of the car that needs to be replaced is the abs modulator and its entire system. The vehicle has the emergency brake light on even when not used. Also, the ldw, tire pressure, abs, traction control, and power steering light appeared to be on. The vehicle was taken to Honda for repair, and the labor and parts cost over $2000.

16 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2023

In July 2023 after having brake pads and rotors replaced at the Honda dealership, several dashboard lights went ldw/fcw, traction control, steering, and abs lights came on. After a diagnostic test at the dealership, they wanted over $2600 for parts and labor for a new abs module. However, this part is “on backorder” with no eta. We spent less than $700 to have a mechanic remove the current abs module, send it to CA to a place we found on ebay that repairs them, and have the mechanic replace it after bleeding the brake lines and replacing the brake fluid. This is a known issue (see reddit, youtube, these complaints, mechanics…even the dealership) on a part that should last the lifetime of the car. I expected more from Honda.

19 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2023

Ldw, fcw, brake, abs, etc. Lights flashing. After much research it appears this is a known problem that affects thousands of Honda vehicles. I have found that the vsa module is responsible- the solenoid is bad. This part needs to be replaced but is on back order with an unknown date when it will be available. Honda has been aware of this problem for many years!! this is a safety issue and is unsafe to operate this vehicle. As there are no replacements available there is no other option but to drive it as I need my car. If an accident occurs due to this part malfunctioning it will be Hondas responsibility due to the fact that they have known this is a problem and that there are no replacements available!!.

While driving one day in early April 2023 , numerous system warning lights such as braking and collision alert lights came on. I took the car to germain Honda of dublin. They told me that the vsa module control unit needed to be replaced. Next they told me the part was on back order. As of today, 7/14/23 it is still on back order. Dealer tells me it is okay to drive the car. A lot can go wrong in 3 months. Today I discovered the 2013 Honda Accord has the same type of problem and is on recall for repairs to be done. Seems like the 2014 Honda Accord needs to be recalled for repairs. Part # 57110-t2g-l02.

23 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2022

During normal operation of the vehicle several indicating lights suddenly illuminated on the cluster. . . Etc. Steering, fcw, ldw, abs, traction control and the verbiage " fcw failed". With the abs unit not functioning properly the vehicle may, can and will skid uncontrollably under emergency braking, especially during inclement weather conditions. The same can be said for the traction control under acceleration, or normal driving depending on the road condition. With the fcw, and ldw not functioning the risk of a rear, or side collision is greatly increased again, pending the weather condition. As for the steering I am clueless as to the implications it may have, especially that this vehicle is equipped with electronically assisted steering. This vehicle was taken into the local Honda dealer to be looked at after the several attempts to clear codes. First by shutting the vehicle the off and restarting it several times and disconnecting the battery for extended period of time more than once. The dealer ran a diagnostic check, which they conclude that the vsa/abs modulator needs to replace because of "81-20 abs cpu internal circuit malfunction, 61-11 vsa modulator control unit power source circuit low voltage: repair will require new vsa modulator" the vehicle has been taken into the Honda dealer for inspection (see above statement). It has not been inspected by the police or by the insurance. No! there were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms to indicate a possible malfunction of the system. This issue first appeared on the 6 July 2022. After doing several independent research about this failure, associated fix and cost to repair. I realized that this is a major issue affecting this make, model, trim, and year. It also extends to these manufacture's other models, trims, and years prior to and after. A simple search of 2014 Accord "fcw failed" will highlight the broad scope of this issue.

25 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2021

A sensor in the abs module has failed, and has caused fcw, ldw, abs, tcs to all not work. Honda wants me to replace the module, but says the parts on back order for forseeable future and that they can’t do anything for me. How can 1 part cause the failure of so many safety systems? how can they not stock this important repair part? everytime I drive, my safety and the safety of those around me is compromised, and Honda’s solution given to me from the dealer was to call back in 3 months to check if the part can be ordered. (and then pay $2000 to have it installed).

Inexplicably and randomy, the fcw comes on the 2014 Honda Accord ex-l. It is accompanied by most the other lights in the dashboard coming on (ex. Lane departure, anti lock brakes, power steering, traction control. When you turn car off and wait, the system seems to fix itself and all is fine until it recurs. It's very scary. My mechanic diagnosed and spoke to Honda who advised replacement of Honda abs control module/modulator assembly. This is a very expensive part (approx. $1300) and unavailable at Honda. The concern is the safety situation plus the fact that this is a wide problem impacting so many other customers. . Read more...
