Air Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Honda Civic

Several warning lights on the dashboard illuminated: powersteering warning, abs system warning, vsa warning. We had to pay almost $300 for dealer diagnostics which advised our abs vsa module must be replaced, reprogrammed and brake fluid bleed otherwise our abs brake system would fail. There are hundreds of similar complaints on-line of Honda owners with the exact issue costing over $3000 to make the repair. It will cost us almost $2600 for the repair. This appears to be a defect in Honda's vsa module circuitboard across several models (accord, Civic).
