1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2024

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.

Abs module is defective after 7 years, there have been many reports and very expensive to fix, why hasn’t Honda made this a recall?.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2023

Bad abs module. Code 122-11 solenoid valve malfunction code. Brake, traction control, power steering, abs lights on.

4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2021

While my wife was driving in the local community on a trip to her relatives house, out 2016 Honda Accord touring model's automatic braking warning light and associated application of the brakes came on at least 4 times within a 9 mile drive. Each time there were no other vehicles or obstacles near the car. I plan to make an appointment with the dealer this week. I have read dozens of similar complaints about this same issue with the Honda collision mitigation system. I think a recall for this issue may be necessary.

5 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2002

I have been having issues with my Honda Accord with the electrical system. Over the past couple of years I have had to take my car to get serviced for the battery, alternator and other electrical issues. Several times I had to take my car to get checked because the abs, power steering, traction control and brake lights intermittently light up at the same time. I was told it was a battery issue but now years later I am being told it is the vsa modulator. I am frustrated because the Honda dealership I have taken it to has failed to identify this issue when it has been repeatedly occurring and now that my warranty is expired now it is being explained that I have to fix this out of my pocket.
