1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2025

1. Power steering rack 2. Abs modulator my 2015 Honda Accord experienced a sudden failure of both the abs system and power steering rack. The dealership confirmed the failure was not due to neglect or wear. Due to the safety risk the repair estimate exceeding $14,000 for the safety system and regular repairs, I was forced to trade in the vehicle. Honda denied goodwill assistance on the safety systems (power steering rack & abs modulator) November 17, 2025 saying vehicle is out of warranty and cited value and year of the vehicle. I was the only owner of vehicle and only serviced at balise Honda of west warwick and/or johnston ri.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2025

Abs modulator assembly has left me stranded I see that this has been a major issue for Honda's. There has not been any recalls for this issue but they see that it is a major problem. I was told by king Honda in auburn alabama that this is a $2000 dollar issue and they do not know when the part will be available due to being on backorder. Please advise.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2024

The abs light, steering light, fcw, ldw, and brake light came on. I did not experience anything indicating an issue with the car before this happened. I took my car to open road Honda in edison, NJ. The dealer performed a diagnostic test which showed the module(solenoid) had fried. This resulted in the "vsa" system warning lights to appear (abs light, steering light, fcw, ldw, and brake warning lights to show). The car is pretty much undriveable without getting this repaired. Because the vsa solenoids are built inside the abs modulator, they can not be replaced separately. The cost to repair this, $3800 with an initial diagnostic fee was $250. There are multiple complaints I found in youtube, reddit, and other blogs stating the same issue even for cars under 100k miles. If possible, please issue a recall on this part since this impacts all Honda Accords from 2013-2017.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2024

Upon starting the car (54,000 miles) the abs light, steering light, fcw, ldw, brake light came on. After looking in the manual it was determine that the car was dangerous to drive. I did not experience anything indicating an issue with the car before this happened. I took it to scott clark Honda right away. The dealer preformed a diagnostic test which showed the anti lock braking system solenoid value was malfunctioning, the electric power steering was experiencing a problem in the "vsa" system, the forward collision warning, and lane departure warning were showing a "vsa" brake actuator malfunction. The car was underivable without getting this repaired. Because the vsa solenoids are built inside the abs modulator they can not be replaces separately. The cost to repair this $2764 the part cannot be replace without a $150 brake fluid exchange. The initial diagnostic fee was $30. The out of pocket expense to drive the vehicle was $2944 plus tax and shop fees. There are multiple complaints regarding the same issue. Please issue a recall. I would like Honda to reimburse me for the repair costs.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/09/2023

2015 has a bad abs modulator fail (solenoid valve). My car only has ~75k miles. It seems this is a common error with 2010-2015 Honda Accords and presents a safety concern. Honda has not issued a recall.

7 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2023

There has been numerous reports on forums such as reddit and also in most comments on youtube concerning the vsa solenoid valve malfunction and how it is a safety concern on almost all Honda Accord 12-17 . Recently, I have been a victim of this and the repair is so pricy that it is either I take a loan to fix it, or I become a risk to other road users. I would advise that NHTSA issue a recall on all Honda Accord trims (2012-2017) as most vehicles on the road will have this issue and will pose a safety concern to other road users.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2023

The dash lit up with every warning light possible, including the engine light. The Honda dealership said that it was a defective abs module. I've seen many reports of this same problem online.

9 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2023

Issue where multiple dashboard indicator lights coming on. Tire pressure, abs, power steering, and traction control lights specifically all on at the same time. Car typically drives fine but will intermittently not want to accelerate and/or brakes are trying to apply themselves while trying to accelerate. This is a dangerous safety issue as I could be driving on the highway the car all of sudden would not continue accelerating. Short term workaround is turning traction control off but does not last. In general issue seems to be electrical. Could be battery, abs module needing a reset to neutral, wheel speed sensors are bad, pcm module faulty, fuel pump failing, vsa issue or needing a reset, faulty wiring, or a combination of all of these mentioned. I took to a Honda dealership (mall of GA) and they could not resolve the issue and recommended a vsa module replacement which is a $2000+ repair. This issue came up for me in mid-July 2023 and as of this post is still an issue. This should be recall as I keep seeing complaints about this online in various forums for 2012-2017 Honda Accords.

11 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2022

Winter 2022 the problem occurred after icy conditions in texas and abs, traction control and steering system lights came on in my gage cluster, since then I have tried many things to fix the issue went as far as replacing the knuckle full assembly with abs speed sensor. Later I search across the internet of Honda owners and noticed its a common issue and a very expensive 1, my local Honda quoted $2800 for the part. My safety has been compromised on many occasions including brakes locking during wet conditions, my car slipped out of control because of the lack of traction control nearly causing a bad accident. I have been driving extremely cautiously, and during wet conditions driving my other vehicle. Due to the abs/vsa module malfunction there are so many components attached to the system including tpms, srs, steering system, and including but not limited to abs, currently all these lights are on in my dashboard please investigate this common issue that many Honda owners experienced and after further research many youtubers opened module to discover a lot of circuit to selinoid issues, please help us make Honda accountable for there mistakes and faulty parts that are so expensive and cheaply made, that may or have caused so many americans hardship and financial repercussions. I shall be very tahnkful.

12 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2022

Abs module is defective. Dashboard lights corresponding to abs and advanced driver assistance systems continuously turn on and off. A quick online search proves that this is a very common issue on Honda Accords. This was also confirmed by Honda dealer service department and two independent mechanics. Honda needs to issue a recall for effected vehicles.

14 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2022

While driving my fcw lights came and said failure. I took my car to an independent service center and they confirmed that many Hondas with the same year have had this same problem. Told me that he wouldn't even be able to repair because the part needed to fix the light from coming on was unavailable all across the world. So many Hondas have had this same issue and needed to repair this issue that it's unavailable. I had the car less than one year after I bought it used with less than 95,000 miles. I've owned 5 other Honda Accords that would go forever and have 200,000+ miles without any issues. I've already had to place my alternator 5 times and starter as well.

17 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2020

I was about to park my 2015 Honda Accord lx in a parking spot in parking lot in front of a shopping centre. The car was cruising at 2-3 miles per hour at this time. There was a sudden and rapid acceleration which was highly disproportionate to the slow speed while I was entering the parking spot. I applied the brakes but it didn't help stop or slow down the vehicle. The car moved forward with the same rapid acceleration in the empty parking spot in front and started moving towards the next parking row in front. I swung the car to the right on to the road between the two parking rows in order to avoid collision with the cars in the next row. The car was still moving with rapid acceleration. I tried applying brakes hard but the car wouldn't slow down or stop. I brushed the bumper of another car in the process. I finally hit another car parked near a curb at the end of the parking lot. The impact was so high that the other car swung 90 degrees. My car stopped after getting stuck on the curb and wedged against the other car. The airbags exploded due to the huge impact. I survived the accident with bruises and bumps on my hands, knees, and feet. Fortunately, no other person in the parking lot was injured in the accident. Accident date and time: June 25, 2020 5:15 pm eastern. Location: parking lot of north town plaza, 2856 dekalb pike, norristown, PA police report # east norriton, PA township, report number # 2020-0638219401 the car has been towed to the following location by police with my consent: centersquaremotors 911 dekalb pike blue bell, PA 19422 (610) 277 2929 insurer: state farm.

18 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2020

Some time car won't start while pressing start button, I replaced the battery , still issue is there. I noticed that, when I have this issue break become stiff. I contacted Honda service they told this is very common issue across Honda 2015. The y quote me 190$ for starter inspection and another 190$ for break inspection, these are just for inspections. Since they told my case was the 3rd case in that day and Honda 2015 Accord model has faulty starter , I wonder whether can you do a research and make a recall ?.

19 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2017

On October 23rd, 2017 I pressed on a brake pedal, the car did not stop or slow down. I frantically started pressing it a number of times and after about a 3rd time, an inch away from a car in front of me, my car finally stopped. I went straight to the tamaroff Honda dealership where I bought the car and they could not find a problem. My vehicle was in motion on a 45 mph street called orchard lake.

20 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2017

The brake rotors warped when I initially contacyed the Honda dealer the said the chattering from my brakes was common with anti lock brakes. I knew this was a lie and finally made them turn the rotors. 220 bucks later the brakes worked. They e should have done it for free.

21 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2017

I recently bought this car in April and noticed that this car shakes when breaking from a higher speed - normally on the highway. I took it back to the dealership and they said that there was a tbs for it and nothing that they could do about it.

22 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2016

I purchased my vehicle at the end of December 2015 with 100 miles on it. By the end of June, I noticed when I would brake I would feel vibration in the steering wheel. This would happen on the highway or city street, any mileage over 55. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and was advised that the rotors need to be resurfaced. This occurred again towards the end of January 2016. I took the vehicle back to the same dealer on February 5, 2016 and was advised that the rotors would need to be resurfaced again. I was also advised that Honda would only pay for one of these procedures and I would have to pay for the other. I asked the salesman if this was an frequent occurrence with Honda? were the rotors or brakes inexpensive? he asked that most likely was not the case because there were a lot of Hondas on the road. This wasn't a justifiable answer for me so I advised him that I would do my own research and report this issue if necessary.
