Warnings Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

Abs module failure on 2013 Honda Accord. Fcw system failure, abs failure, ldw failure along with brake light constantly on, also tire pressure sensor light on. Brakes have a softer feel when compressed. Diagnosed at independent repair shop as failure of the abs module which is a circuit board issue with improperly soldered wire connections, something Honda should cover as the module dealer cost is about $3000 plus labor. Brake sensitivity and possible failure is a major concern and the vehicle is at only 116k miles.

While traveling at approximately 55 mph yesterday, in daylight, with no other cars in front, back, or to the side of our car, it radically braked on its own. The collision mitigation system warning light has frequently flashed on the dashboard since we bought the car new in 2019 but never did it apply the brakes on its own. Dealerships over the years have told us "this just happens", and offered no fix for the false positive alerts. This is a dangerous situation which could result in an accident or even death of occupants if not resolved by Honda. I spoke with several dealerships since the phantom braking event and they tell me they hear this complaint often. Being an intermittent situation, it is extremely difficult to diagnose and resolve. Something needs to be done.

I was driving on a four-lane highway using adaptive cruise control, gaining on a vehicle ahead. When the cruise control picked up the vehicle, I accelerated slightly, used left turn signal and began changing lanes, the warning for collision mitigation came on and the cruise control disengaged. Continued driving home and the warning continued, and cruise control would not function. Next time used the car the warning light was off, and system functioned properly.

The touch screen is malfunctioning. Its "ghost touching" as in the screen is pressing random buttons on the screen at random times while driving. It can change and has changed settings while driving (distance for breaking before a collision, etc). While its touching random things on the screen im unable to touch anything on the screen. As if its locking me from pressing anything.

All my lights on my dash has come on, they said it’s the abs solenoid malfunction and I’m scared to drive the car, it’s my only car and Honda is charging almost 3500 to fix I don’t have that kind of money plus that is a computer problem so Honda should take care of that, anything could happen when I’m driving on the highway. . This should be a recall I see a lot of other people dealing with the same issue. .

The car was in cruise control going 73mph on the freeway. I was passing a semi on the left hand side. When I was parallel to the semi, the car brakes hard and a big "brake" light came on the cluster. There were no cars in front of me and luckily no one behind me. If there was a car behind me there would have been a collision. It was a clear day and again the road was clear. It took me from 70 to about 40 mph until I hit the accelerator to get back to speed. The cmbs is faulty and I will take it in to a dealer ASAP.

On July 30, 2025, my Honda’s collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) randomly activated without any obstacles in front of the vehicle. Since then, this issue has happened numerous times while driving. When the incident occurs, the system flashes a “brake” warning and suddenly applies the brakes while I am driving. This creates a serious risk of a rear-end collision, loss of control, or bodily harm. I had the vehicle inspected by an authorized Honda dealership on August 1, 2025 for this issue. Despite the inspection, the malfunction continues to occur. Although I have not yet been involved in an accident, this defect poses an ongoing safety hazard for myself, passengers, and others on the road. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter.

Dear - NHTSA vehicle safety division, I am writing to formally document my ongoing concern regarding a faulty anti-lock braking system (abs) module in my Honda vehicle, which I believe poses a serious safety risk. Despite contacting Honda corporation on four separate occasions to address this issue, the company has refused to acknowledge or accept responsibility for what appears to be a recurring defect found in several Honda models produced between 2013 and 2018. The vehicle was inspected by a certified technician at a Honda dealership, who confirmed that the braking failure stemmed from a malfunction of the abs module. The technician also acknowledged that this issue is common in Hondas from the aforementioned model years. I relayed this information to Honda directly, along with my willingness to cover part of the repair cost, but was offered no resolution or goodwill support. The replacement part alone is quoted at over $3,100—an unacceptable burden for what appears to be a known issue. As a loyal Honda customer who has purchased five Honda vehicles over the years, I am extremely disappointed in the lack of accountability and response from both the dealership and american Honda motor CO. This is my first experience encountering this level of disregard from a brand I once trusted for quality and dependability. Unfortunately, Honda’s approach to this problem no longer reflects the reliability and professionalism customers have come to expect. I am submitting this statement in support of any formal investigation into systemic safety concerns regarding abs modules in affected Honda vehicles. If any additional documentation or information is required, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Honda Accord 2013 exl VIN: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Experienced cmbs with malfunctioning false breaking while no obstacle, acceleration delays (features not available: electric braking, lane departure, electric power steering, cruise control, adaptive collusion prevention and brake system warning on dashboard).

Unknown I received the notice that there was an active recall on my 2018 Honda about the 1. 5 fuel pump. I have scheduled several appointments to fix this, only for Honda to cancel all appointments related to the recall, stating they didn't have the part. I was headed to work, and every light on the dashboard that could come up, came up. There were several warning lights from brakes, transmission, collision, engine, etc. I took the car to the dealership, and they discovered that the fuel injector was the culprit. I am outraged because they're denying there's a connection, and I believe otherwise.

I own a 2015 Honda Accord ex-l v6 3. 5l that I purchased brand new from the dealership with zero miles. I’ve taken excellent care of the vehicle, and because I typically drive short distances, it only has 93,000 miles as of June 2025. Despite the low mileage and proper maintenance, the intake manifold plenum (part #17160-5g0-a00) now needs to be replaced due to significant deterioration. The material used for this part is poorly made, it corrodes and breaks down over time, causing vacuum leaks. This is a well-documented, widespread issue in Honda vehicles globally. In my case, the deterioration has caused performance and safety concerns and has rendered my car undrivable. To make matters worse, this part is on national backorder with no estimated delivery date. I’ve contacted numerous dealerships and suppliers with no success, leaving me without a working vehicle or timeline for repair. I rely on this car for transportation, work, and daily responsibilities. It is extremely frustrating that a critical engine component is both defective and unavailable, especially when so many other Honda owners are facing the same problem. I am filing this complaint to raise awareness and request a timely investigation and resolution.

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.

Since the first winter after I purchased my vehicle in 2021, typically when cold, but not always, I lose all the Honda sensing (advanced driver assist features). The dashboard lights up with the following warnings . - collision mitigation braking system problem. See dealer - road departure mitigation system problem. See dealer - auto high beam problem. See dealer - adaptive cruise control system problem. See dealer - lane keep assist system problem. See dealer this failure of these safety systems can last anywhere from 5-60 minutes. Sometimes if you shut the vehicle off and turn it back on again, the warning will go away. On multiple cold mornings (below ~45°f), my 2021 Accord hybrid displays a cascade of safety system failure warnings upon startup. The dash shows errors for the collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation, and more—all at once. When these systems are disabled, it severely compromises safety. This issue happens repeatedly in colder weather. The dealer has personally witnessed the issue in their service bay and acknowledged it's a known problem but had no fix, advising me to turn the car off and on again. This recurring failure of critical safety systems in cold conditions puts me, my passengers, and other road users at risk.

I purchased this 2018 Honda Accord that has had no major problems until the last 6 months. I purchased the car from gerald jones Honda and have had all repairs and maintenance done there with the exception of tire related concerns and occasional oul changes. All the issues I've experienced have been engine related and in the same area of the engine. Consistent leaks, repeated warning lights, and loss of speed. I have replaced fuel injectors, a head gasket, and a turbo in the last 6 months. Despite those repairs, I'm still experiencing leaks and flashing warning lights. Honda currently has my car due to warnings again. They have indicated it is a performance issue but can't locate the problem. Even suggested I continue to drive the car as they have been unable to duplicate what caused it. I told them to keep it because that makes no sense for me to drive it as it seems unsafe to do so and I could potentially make matters worse. I've spoken to several 2018 Accord owners who have experienced the same issues. This is very concerning to me and crippling my finances. Honda stands out for their reliability, but regrettably the 2018 1. 5l turbo doesn't stand up to Honda's reputation.

Forward collision warning system failure causing multiple light failures on dashboard.

Vsa abs fcw eps warning lights, According to Honda dealership it needs a vsa abs module, these are thousands of dollars and there’s thousands and thousands of pissed off customers. This should be warranted. It looks like Honda of europe did warranty it. I’m not sure what’s going on in Honda north America. It can cause the brake pedal to go soft, and is definitely a safety hazard.

Abs module failure. The mother board pins that connect are a poor design.

Cmbs not working properly. The car automatically brakes without any collision risk even on a clear road with no traffic and clear weather. Have a huge risk of someone crashing the car from the rear due to immediate braking. This issue has appeared several times.

Forward collision warning stopped working after a system upgrade on my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. I activate the forward support and immediately it turns off. This is a safety issue. The system assist in breaking in time to maintain car distance and avoid a collision. Contacted Honda. I was told to take it to service at my cost.

Hi. All the warning lights came on one morning. Looking online many people are have the same issue.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Accord. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v763000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph to the dealer, the “collision braking system failure - contact dealer” was displayed on the mobile app. Additionally, a fuel warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that rodents had damaged the wiring. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle had passed the recall inspection; however, the contact stated that the fuel warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,555.

The problem with the lkas manifests in the following ways: the system unexpectedly disengages without warning, failing to provide lane-keeping assistance. Erratic steering corrections occur even when the vehicle is properly centered in the lane, causing instability. The system frequently displays error messages indicating lkas failure, requiring manual intervention to reset or disable the feature. At times, the system does not activate as intended, even when road conditions and markings are clear and well-defined. I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by ensuring that the vehicle’s sensors and cameras are clean and unobstructed. However, the problem persists. I have also reported the issue to a Honda dealership, but they have not been able to provide a definitive resolution. This malfunction creates a serious safety concern, as an unpredictable lkas system can lead to unintentional lane drifting or sudden corrective actions that may startle the driver or lead to a loss of control. Given that lkas is a key component of Honda's driver-assistance technology, I believe this issue warrants further investigation by NHTSA to determine whether it constitutes a broader defect in the 2017 Honda Accord hybrid model. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter and determine if similar complaints have been reported. If this issue is determined to be a widespread defect, I urge NHTSA to take appropriate action, including a potential recall or mandatory software update from Honda. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I would appreciate any updates regarding your findings and any further steps I should take. Please feel free to contact me at the information provided above.

Purchased the car in August 2024 from carvana, September the car shuts off at red light. Was told to replace the alternator. Shop replaced alternator but car still was cutting off while in parked or at complete stop. Was told to replace the battery, replaced the battery and months later car still shuts off. Had another mechanic look at it once hook up to scanner fcw light said failed system on odometer, maf code showed on scanner. Scared to continue driving vehicle because of safety reasons car is not safe. Can’t return it so I’m stuck trying to figure out what could be the problem. Was told it could be electrical problem or battery sensor issue.

Traction control/abs/brake lights turn on 122-11 vsa solenoid valve malfunction and 83-11 which causes pcm malfunction. This is a known problem with Honda vehicles and should be a recall. When this error occurs traction/abs/brake, ldw fcw are disabled. The fix for this is over $1000. 00.

I saw that they are investigating Honda pilots for an automatic braking issue. I wanted to report that on my car I’ve had the automatic brake warning come on at least 3 times while driving at highway speed with nothing in front of me. This is over a period of 3 years (my car has 40k). The brakes didnt engage, but it alerts you like it will engage for a couple seconds then the alert goes away. It could be related to the pilot issue. If the brakes did engage I would likely get rear ended on the highway. So far it hasnt happened but it is scary when it does. And totally random as each time no car within 2000ft.

My vehicle is stalling out. The engine failed. I was traveling and had to pull off the interstate and stop and restart vehicle. It was very dangerous as traffic was going at a high rate of speed. Yes the vehicle has been confirmed by a dealer. Yes all the warning lights are on in the vehicle.

Car stopped/hit the brakes on its own without anything in front of it. The collision detection warning went off while traveling at 25 mph, hit the brakes and stopped the car. I have a dashcam and can provide video proof of it.

Excessive engine oil consumption 2-3 quarts between 5000 to 6000 oil changes. Abs module failure causing all safety feature not working.

Suddenly I get warnings of failure of adaptive cruise control, failure of braking, stearing and forward collision warning failure. It goes away if I drive my vehicle for few miles but then suddenly appears again. No one seems to know what is the issue. I tried to reset setting multiple times, checked system updates and checked battery etc, asked to check if there are any faulty codes but no one seem to know what is going on. It keeps happening every day.

The system failing and had problems. Had to take to Honda dealer. They had to replace the system camera.

Everytime I start my car in the cold I get all these warning messages on my dash, in this case it just let me choose 2 options but I also get auto idle stop problem, mitagation problem etc. I took it to the dealer they dont know what could be the proble. There are no recallas on this and people on forums are saying it can be a module. This is dangerous.
