Service Brakes Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

The abs module is designed to fail after an extended period of time, leaving the owner to drive in dangerous conditions unless they pay thousands of dollars for the necessary repairs. This is essentially extortion, and the owners need to be held accountable. Our society runs the risk of being ran by parasitic, profit-driven, morally bankrupt individuals unless the issue is resolved appropriately. Thank you!.

In my 2015 Honda Accord. The abs, adaptive cruise control, vehicle stability assist, power steering, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, traction control, hill start assist, and brake system dash lights have all been intermittently coming on and off starting right around 150k miles. Now all of the lights have been on for some time now. I spoke to autonation Honda and chapman Honda here in tucson and both dealerships said it was a known vsa module issue with Honda. One quoted a $3,700 fix while the other estimated the job to be about $3,800. Technicians at autonation Honda confirmed that my Accord has the 32-11 abs solenoid valve malfunction, and the 85-01 vsa module malfunction codes that are directly related to the weak solder used by Honda on these modules. It’s unbelievable that this has been a known issue with Honda’s vsa/abs modules, and nothing can be done because the cars regular brakes can still be used. This issue directly affects almost every safety function this car came with. Everything is disabled. It’s really unfortunate that this known issue can be labeled as normal wear.

The power steering light, traction light, abs light, and brake light all came on and would stay on leading me to check the code which was a 121-11 which seems to be a very common issue with the 9th generation Honda Accord.

Had to repleace the electrical parking brake sensor. Now all my lights on the dash board are lighted up and have to go get a diagnostic test done.

This event occurred after a history of abs system issues as well as infotainment system issues since 10k miles. During morning commute at approximately 60 mph, all dash warnings began to chime associated with the touring features of the sedan. Tpms, collision avoidance, braking system, lane departure, etc. And electric power steering. The steering wheel clicked and immediately became difficult to steer. I found a safe pullover point and managed to return the car safely the short distance home.

I have keep regular maintenance up on my car. Recently all of the lights began flashing on the dashboard. I had oil changed, reset the battery, and all ignition coils. The lights came back on within a week. The car stalled while driving it and had to pull over inside of the highway, turn it off, wait a few minutes before turning it back on.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the abs warning light and the traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with abs module and abs solenoid valve failures. The contact was informed that the abs control module needed to be replaced or rebuilt. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The contact stated that the failure was a known failure with the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,350.

The abs module failed. It is designed to fail as the wires are super thin. Repair quote was $4,000. The part, I’m sure, is then sent out and fixed cheaply then resold for a premium.

I was just driving normally when, completely out of nowhere, my whole dashboard suddenly lit up with a massive cluster of warning lights all at the exact same time. The power steering light, abs light, traction control (vsa), tire pressure light, and the main brake light all popped up instantly. The most confusing part is that my steering and brakes actually feel completely fine. There is mechanically nothing wrong with how the steering turns or how the brakes stop, but the car is flashing these major warnings anyway. It feels like a total electronic malfunction or a computer glitch where the car is falsely screaming that there's a catastrophic failure when everything is physically working fine.

Vehicle: 2018 Honda Accord on [xxx], at approximately [xxx] pm, I was driving on [xxx] [xxx] at approximately 35 mph. The weather was clear and the road was dry. A vehicle ahead of me began turning into [xxx] n. My vehicle’s collision mitigation braking system / automatic emergency braking system activated suddenly. The system made an audible warning sound, displayed a warning icon, and applied braking even though I did not believe there was a crash-imminent situation. There were vehicles behind me at the time, so the unexpected braking created a potential rear-end collision risk. The braking event also caused back pain, and I later experienced some stomach discomfort. I am concerned this was a false activation of the automatic emergency braking / collision mitigation braking system. I am also concerned because the system reactivates after the vehicle is restarted, meaning I cannot reliably prevent another unexpected braking event from occurring. I am requesting that this be documented as a vehicle safety concern involving possible false activation of the automatic emergency braking system.

[in-person service visit #1 -xxx– paramus, NJ]: on this date, I brought the car to paramus Honda, and was advised that their service department “has never heard of any vehicle made by Honda, phantom breaking”. Upon my insistence that this happened and that experiencing such made me feel unsafe and nervous to drive the vehicle. The service department advised me to ensure that both the rear and front sensors on the vehicle were free and clear of any type of debris. I did so and have ensured to always be of the sensors moving forward. [date of incident #2 - xxx]: while driving at approximately 25 mph on a clear road, with no obstructions, the vehicle abruptly engaged heavy emergency braking without warning. My two children, age [xxx] & [xxx] were in the vehicle at this time & again nearly caused a severe rear-end collision.

While driving vehicle detected both road departure and engaged the emergency automated braking. The vehicle attempted to correct the "road departure" by steering the vehicle away from the perceived problem and engaged the brakes nearly causing a collision as it has done numerous times before. I have reported this to NHTSA and american Honda multiple times and await a repair of this dangerous issue. Honda has opened a case on this but have had 18 months and no response has been issued.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at 59 mph, another vehicle ahead of the vehicle in front of hers unexpectedly stopped, causing a three-vehicle rear-ended collision. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to stop. The front driver's side air bag deployed, but the side air bags did not deploy. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact did not sustain any injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a vehicle lot but was not deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,389.

Honda Accord 9th gen abs/vsa issues - dtc code 81-20 /32-11. Tpms/abs/vsa/brake/power steering lights are on. Dealer claim is an abs module issue and need replacement.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving the vehicle she noticed multiple waring lights on the dash, abs waring, traction control, tire pressure lights blinks, service engine light and steering wheel light with exclamation point. The contact stated there is a trembling feeling with applying the brakes, feels like the tires are not balanced. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 23v430000 (service brakes, hydraulic) to be the cause of the failure however, the VIN was not included in the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to a dealer were it was diagnosed to vsa module failure. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 224,337.

Vehicle drove normally in the morning commute. In the afternoon commute it started normally and as I approached highway speeds the alarms started showing up. The brake, hill descent system, abs, critical failure. The vehicle started losing speed and could not accelerate. Losing speed at highway speed was alarming and finally all dashboard went red with alert to stop driving and engine heating warming. Speed was in the range of 35-40 mph on a highway rated 70 mph. I had to pull over and tow car to dealership.

The car hit the brakes automatically at 70mph when passing on the left. There was absolutely nothing in front of the car that should have triggered the cmbs.

The dashboard on the vehicle lights up with multiple error notifications. This puts the vehicle in limp mode. Indicates emissions errors, check engine, lane mitigation, brakes, control system. Per different customers this fault is being caused by either faulty fuel injector, miss fire, bad ignition coils, damage head gaskets, or turbo mechanism faulty. My vehicle has 70,000 miles and others in the chat have less miles that are having similar problems. Head gaskets should not fail so soon with proper maintenance. My obd2 scan code is miss fire which could indicate faulty spark plugs, coil, injector or headgasket. For a vehicle at 70,000 miles this shouldn't happen. Vehicle has been maintained as the manufacturer recommendations.

I took my car in because the electric parking brake warning appeared while driving. I also looked it up and saw many others were having this issue. So basically Honda charged me for something that’s an ongoing Honda issue and passed it off as a glitch and cleared the codes. Clearly Honda needs to recall the 2023 Accord because this isn’t safe and clearing the code isn’t taking care of the problem. Furthermore charging me for diagnosing this is completely wrong knowing this is not a problem only I am having. Honda needs a recall before there are serious accidents.

I have bought this car new in 2018, the issue that I’m having is that . . I’ll be driving on the highway or local my car will brake on its own without any hazards in front of it . It’s very dangerous it almost caused me an accident on the highway .

As I was driving, the automatic braking system engaged and there was no other vehicle or object in front of or beside me. The car behind me could have rear ended me.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord equipped with collision mitigation braking system (cmbs). The vehicle has experienced multiple instances of false collision warnings and phantom braking. The issue occasionally occurs when approaching overhead interstate signs. In most cases, the system flashes brake warnings briefly and then clears. However, on one occasion during rainy conditions a few years ago, the vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes at highway speed with no obstacle present. The vehicle has undergone multiple camera calibrations (this may have also included the radar), but the problem persists. This creates a serious safety hazard, particularly at highway speeds where sudden braking could result in a rear-end collision. The issue appears to be related to false object detection by the adas system, potentially involving radar or sensor misinterpretation.

While driving in a busy area with pedestrians and other vehicles, my car hard braked out of nowhere to a complete stop for no reason. I was nearly rear ended. The adaptive cruise control shuts off completely after 15 minutes in use. Says to take it to the nearest dealership. Turning off and restarting the car gets rid of the notification.

This has been reported one time before but the situation has gotten worse when driving at approximately 60ish miles per hour but it starts doing it about between 50 and 70 mph when driving and the car is using the regular engine not the ev section. You will randomly lose the ability to accelerate and you have to remove your foot from the gas let the engine slow and then re-accelerate now for the second time as I'm driving I lose the ability to accelerate at all and no matter what I do the car will slow almost every warning light on the dash comes on and there are 11 different warnings I've uploaded photos of a few I have a video though also and you lose complete power and ability to drive warning lights such as power steering problem emissions problem powertrain problem all of those are part of what turns on if you try to move the vehicle it will not move unless it is an ev mode and even then it only works for several feet but you can't get over a few miles per hour if you are on the highway like I was going 65 mph and there's traffic is extremely dangerous the only reason I was not hit was because I turn my emergency lights on and was able to maneuver my vehicle to the shoulder safely had I been in a more busy section of the road or had I been in an area where I could not get off the road I would have been hit by another vehicle. Honda has stated they can't find anything wrong with the vehicle but a quick google search shows that this is a common issue and I have a video of the dash with all the warning lights should anyone need it as well as photos.

The vsa module failed, causing 5 warning lights to illuminate. This module controls abs, traction control, and power steering. All of these systems involve the safe operation of the vehicle. The module failed due to a flawed design; the module contains 20-30 very fine connecting wires that frequently break due to vibration and temperature changes. Vbs module failures are extremely common on 2008-20017 Honda Accords. Honda charges up to $4,000 to repair their flawed design to return the car to a safe operating condition. It is unconscionable that the consumer should have to pay such an expense to repair their mistake or to drive the car as is, and risk a catastrophic failure. A recall for these modules should be declared to protect the public from accident and injury.

During transit, the dash displayed several errors and then finally stated that there was a "brake system problem, brake performance my be reduced. See your dealer. " the car lost power and I had to find a parking lot to exit the street to. After turning the car off and back on the car drove normal but with the break system error still on the dash console. After parking the car for a while at home, I restarted the car and the error was no longer displayed and everything seemed normal again.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was a choking sound coming from the vehicle, and brake pedal went to the floorboard. The vehicle was turned off and while restarting the vehicle, the lane departure, tpms, brake system, brake hose, brake performance reduced, and other warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

All light come on brake system, acc, road migration, collision migration, hill start assist problem, vehicle stability system, electrical power steering, and it will not go when at a light. Almost causing a car accident.

The rear brakes on my 2018 Honda Accord sport 1. 5t (six speed manual transmission) have failed prematurely. This failure of the pads and rotors was confirmed, at the request of american Honda, by me at my local Honda dealer, and was documented in a response to american Honda. This occurred at 46,150 miles which I believe indicates a defective design in that the brake calipers, pads and rotors as a system were not built to the capacity needed to support Honda's design of this car that greatly increases the workload on the rear brakes. I am a very careful driver and minimize the use of brakes as a result. My calculation is that these brakes have failed at 1/4th the life that it would be reasonable to expect. The result is increased safety risk to car owners and drivers who do not act on this premature failure due to it not being normal or expected or affordable. Honda has effectively, through this brake design, implemented a need for car owners to enact a $750 repair on a frequency close to routine maintenance such as oil changes.

2025 Honda Accord hybrid sportl odometer 9,000 brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. Vehicle has not been checked yet by dealer or any type of representative. Message on dashboard and warning lights appear Wednesday February 11th 2026.

So I am just driving and all these lights come on my dashboard about front collision warning failing and land departure failing and no traction control or power steering. It caused my car to slip in the rain since there is no abs without traction control. I skid for a bit till I regained control and pulled over. This is such a common problem in this generation of cars there are 100 of youtube videos and forums complaining about the abs module failing this is a danger to others lives. How has this not been recalled as the brakes are so crucial?.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I own a 2018 Honda Accord with approximately 132,000 miles. Shortly after my vehicle was serviced for the fuel pump recall, multiple warning lights and system failure messages appeared simultaneously. The affected systems include road departure mitigation, emission system, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam, collision mitigation braking system, electric power steering, vehicle stability assist, tire pressure monitoring system, hill start assist, and the air bag system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the failure of multiple safety and driver-assistance systems has created a significant safety risk. My vehicle is currently operating in limp mode, resulting in reduced performance and making it difficult to drive safely in traffic. The loss or malfunction of systems such as collision mitigation braking, power steering, vehicle stability assist, adaptive cruise control, and air bag monitoring increases the risk of an accident and could jeopardize the safety of both vehicle occupants and other motorists. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for diagnostic testing after the warning lights appeared. The dealer confirmed that multiple systems were reporting faults. I was advised that numerous components would need to be replaced at a substantial cost. Prior to the fuel pump recall service, I had not experienced any of these issues and the vehicle operated normally. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? the vehicle has been inspected by a Honda dealership for diagnostic purposes. To my knowledge, it has not been inspected by Honda corporate, law enforcement, or insurance representatives. Were there any warning lamps, mes.

My break starts seizing up for no reason just out of the blue and a mechanics can't seem to find them problem, which led to my brake light constantly being on.
