I was driving along the NJ turnpike at approximately 65 miles an hour when the brake warning light started flickering on and off and then the brakes engaged. It was quick, as if I had stepped hard on the pedal. No vehicle was in front of me, but I was driving through the express ez pass lane. Later that same day, it happened again, but this time it was only as if someone tapped on the brakes. The brake light flashed then too. To answer the above questions: what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the collision mitigation braking system, and yes it is how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? someone could have rear-ended me has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? the brake light warning flickered on before each instance.

When my 2013 Accord was around 80,000 miles my dashboard lit up with "forward collison warning system failure. " the following lights are also on, ldw, power steering, tpms, traction control. I took my car to a mechanic and was told I needed a new vsa/ abs brake control module. I was told this is a common problem for Hondas and is dangerous as it disables traction control and could affect braking as well. The mechanic and a Honda dealer quoted me $3,200 for this repair.
The abs/vsa module failure: tire pressure, traction control, steering, lane departure warning (ldw), and forward collision warning (fcw) dash lights come on; the vehicle is available for inspection upon request, pending recall or private repair. The safety of the driver, passengers, and outside parties is at risk in case of brake failure or brake locking in a situation where the ldw or fcw has failed to alert the driver of a pending collision. The dealer conducted a diagnostic service on the morning of 07/01/2024 indicating abs module and brake flush, codes 81. 19 and 81. 20, with a repair cost of $2,385. 49 for the abs module part and labor of 4. 95 ($3335. 49) and brake flush labor of . 8 ($179. 95) for a total cost of $3,575. 44. The vehicle or parts have not been inspected by police, insurance representatives, or others, although galpin Honda performed the above diagnostic. The vehicle dashboard lights mentioned above come on shortly after driving the vehicle at times, with the lights alternating between on and off at any given start-up—they can light up or be off at start-up/drive-off.
During a forward-side lane departure collision in my 2020 Honda Accord, the body control module (bcm), forward collision radar system, braking assist, and vehicle stability assist (vsi) all failed to activate. As a result, the vehicle did not brake, warn, or stabilize before impact. The airbags also failed to deploy during the crash. My safety and the safety of others were put at serious risk, as the vehicle did not respond as designed despite being equipped with these systems. The car is now undrivable but available for inspection. This issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer due to the car's condition, but similar failures have been reported in other 2020 Honda Accords already under recall. The insurance company did not request vehicle data and did not inspect the systems. There were no warning lamps, alerts, or messages prior to the failure; the malfunction occurred without notice. I am requesting that this vehicle be added to the existing recall list related to bcm and safety system failures.
I was driving about 35 mph with nothing in front of me and suddenly, the “brake” warning came on and the automatic brake engaged. There was a car behind me, but thankfully far enough behind that a rear end collision did not occur. I’m very concerned. I think the system is called cmbs (collision mitigation braking system). I would just as soon not have to have it!.

When driving at highway speeds the auto has started to brake and the warning brake alert flashes on the dashboard when there are no obstructions. On some occasions the brake warning light comes on even when there are no cars or traffic in front of the auto. Recently the cruise control turned off for no apparent reason.

Emergency braking happened several times with no obstacle in the way. Perfect driving conditions in daylight. Twice it slowed down my vehicle on the highway. A few other times the braking light came on but didn’t seem to actually put on the brake.
This car brakes on its own . I reported it to Honda since I have had it have been dealing with the issue it brakes on its own I filled out a form with you guys after reading about “ghost braking” so I am not alone this car is dangerous it has been serviced multiple times Honda corp is aware requested a buy back. Wondering where you guys are in your investigation I have pictures the sensors are all out of whack mitigation control warnings etc but the car literally brakes on its own highway and street Honda states they cannot disable the features. I need help. Please update me occurred again today.
All of the lights on my dashboard come on every few hours and go off. Vehicle is losing power as I drive. Multiple people with this make and model have expressed their concerns of the same issue.
Lights came on stating failed fcw system, ldw system showing tire pressure light, vehicle stability light, fcw, ldw lights on. Abs system has failed.

I was driving down the highway at approximately 70 mph and a vehicle ahead, probably 8-10 car lengths lightly applied their brakes slowing down to my estimate of 60 mph. The forward collision activated and slammed my brakes causing a pickup behind me to slam on their brakes and swerve onto the shoulder to avoid a collision. This is not the first time this has happened, but the previous time the braking wasn't as severe.

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.

2018 Accord consistently has the warning pop up for the the crash mitigation system and tells me to visit the dealer. Cruise control just stop working while driving. When I turn the car off and back on it resets, and then 10-20 miles goes by and the error pops up again. Incredibly unreliable and unsafe when I’m on the freeway going 70. This has been a constant problem.
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.
Abs control module with well known defects. Needs to be recalled. Https://youtu. Be/ojkowyleami?si=2tdi-8ozmtxvw7yb. Many, many customers are having this issue, including me. I was told that the part is not available after market and the Honda genuine part was quoted to me at $3,000 with low labor cost to the repair.
Copy from another complaint, as I am having the same issue. 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.

Forward collision warning feature on 02/16/24 I was traveling east on I-630 at about 60 mph. While driving at that speed I saw a foreign object in my lane but I could not swerve in neither right or left lane as there were vehicles traveling in both lanes when my car hit the foreign object the object became lodged under the car dragging it at least 20 to 30 feet the car lost power myself and passenger had to push car out of road to shoulder to keep from getting killed as it had lost power and would not start. The forward collision warning feature did not alert me of the object nor of the vehicle’s traveling ahead of me nor vehicles traveling in left and right lanes along side of me that I attempted to avoid hitting. I had previously filed a complaint about the warning lights and malfunctioning features on the car to dealership on 2019 2020 and 2021 I was told it could be a series of reasons why the warning lights are all on and the car features shut down even the car losing its power I was never able to get my car on the recall list for this I filed a complaint with Honda manufacturer 2022 and was told that someone would be in touch but no one ever called I took the car back to dealership tech stated that the cracked windshield maybe the cause of the warning lights coming on so I got windshield , spark plugs, battery twice, replaced all for tires twice kept scheduled services up to par warning lights still on in-car still losing power in the middle of traffic on 01/20/24 I tried getting appt for fuel pump recall dealerships states they donot have the inventory to replace fuel pump I was told when Honda manufacturer contact dealerships giving the go ahead to repair I will l be contacted fast forward to 02/16/24 this is the result of none of features functioning especially the forward collision warning feature my car now is at a loss of use it does not start the oil panel was damaged the radiator was crushed the sensor dislodged and body was damage to vehicle.
Check engine, right mirror, door, alignment. My safety is not good, the car jerks and merging into another lane. Yes it has been inspected by insurance representative. It appeared when I was hit on 02/13/2024.

On 1/24/24, we were driving at about 65 mph. With no warning, fcw, ldw, abs, tire pressure and check engine lights as well as fcw system failure reported on dash. The car slowed to about 20-25mph and sounded rough. Cars behind were going with speed of traffic (about 65) and had to break behind us and were honking their horns at us despite emergency flashers on. We pulled over and turned off engine for a few minutes. We turn engine back on and warning lights were off and we could drive normally again. We thought it was a glitch. About three weeks later on 2/21/24, we were on a highway pass over mountain traveling about 65mph. The lights came on again and car slowed again to about 25mph. This was very dangerous on a pass with many cars accelerating around us on the uphill part of the pass. We had to pull over again. We turned engine back on but fcw and ldw lights remained on. We were able to drive normally again. When we got home, I took the car to a mechanic who did a diagnostic test and replaced the high pressure fuel pump. The fcw and ldw lights remained on as well as notification of fcw system failure. The mechanic said he did not have recalibration equipment and I would have to go to Honda dealer for recalibration. I have an appointment on 3/6/24 with Honda for recalibration. I have since gone online and see many Honda owners are having this occur with various fixes but the problem has recurred for many owners. This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed ASAP before a collision occurs and possible death of those involved as a result.
This fcw failure appears to be a common issue for the Honda Accord. The Honda declaration is claiming that it is the abs module that is causing this issue. Several posts are on the internet concerning this safety issue in these vehicles.
This vehicle upon heavy rain/downpours the vehicle foward collision sensors may activate and cause sudden dangrous and potentially life threatening braking. One day it was raining very bad I was alone on the road going about 45 mph. The storm caused a really bad downpours and the car suddenly braked hard with no reason whatsoever. It only happens when it rains severely. Im not the only person who has experianced this. People on the facebook 2023 Honda Accord hybrid page has had the same issue. This system needs to be updated before it takes someones life. It is unsafe to drive this vehicle under heavy rains due to the automatic braking system kicking on due to being overwhelmed by heavy rains.
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.
The infotainment system randomly presses all over the screen all the time. This causes tony of issues such as turning on the radio, changing navigation, and making beeping noises constantly. Honda has replaced the infotainment system twice in my vehicle and it has fixed absolutely nothing. This is a major safety issue because of how distracting it is when driving. The incessant beeping noises (it beeps every time the touch screen is “pressed”) makes it so that I don’t know whether the car is beeping for safety issues (lane assist etc) or not. The radio being turned on at random is extremely startling and has caused me many near accidents. The navigation turning off as I am navigating through traffic has caused much stress and confusion which can lead to an accident. This is a major issue that needs correction ASAP.
The abs control module is defective on my vehicle. The electronic components have a poor design which allows the electrical contacts inside the module to break lose. Honda is aware of many of these complaints but has failed to perform a recall.
Vsa module failure. Anti lock brakes will not work unless repaired. Honda dealer quoted repair over 2500. 00 dollars. Know issue of poor quality design and use of inferior parts to make module failure imminent.
While I am driving down the highway, my brakes randomly engage and I get an error message that says collision, mitigation breaking system error please see dealer.
Vsa/ abs controller module has failed. Honda p/n 04571-t2g-l71 required to repair is not available. Nationwide parts shortage; dealer has no estimate when or if part will be available. Many 2013-2017 Honda Accord vehicles are affected and can't be repaired and owners forced to park otherwise perfectly useable vehicles.
On multiple occasion my vehicle will brake unexpectedly with no object in the road or surrounding my car. It has done it at freeway speeds as well as driving through parking lots. It often will sense construction repairs on the road and think I am departing the lane again slamming on the brakes (on the freeway) I have luckily avoided accidents but have had numerous close calls.
My fcw sysytem has failed. My ldw , power steering , fcw , tire pressure are on the dash. Honda keeps saying it needs a new vsa module which is expensive . Multiple complaints have been filed for 2013-2017 Honda Accord models with this same issue. It is a safety issue and needs to be replaced by Honda ASAP. This is a hige safety risk.
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.
Honda service has reported I need a vsa modulator assembly replaced and they want me to order this part now which is on backorder for at least 2-3 months. Car had 87,000 miles at time of inspection. I have tried to source this assembly from various Honda dealers and parts distributors to no avail. Cost will be $2,800 to replace. There are many other Honda owners experiencing this same problem but Honda will not cover the costs and seem to have no way to expedite the parts. They have started a vsa recall in newer Honda models on a limited basis. The vsa modulator is a safety feature on the car and I notice a difference in the stability and braking of the car. I am sure if I have an accident, the fact that the lights are on the dashboard will negate my insurance coverage if it can be related specifically to the vsa modulator. This is unacceptable why are so many owners affected by this and yet Honda is getting away with it. This Honda is no where near the quality of my first Honda Accord in 1999.
