The vsa modulator went out in the car making all lights on the dashboard flash and light up, and crashed the computer system for the car. The vsa modulator was not working due to an internal failure is all I was told. My vsa modulator went out while I was in drive with the brake applied in the drive thru for food. This prevented the vehicle from being driven safely due to not knowing what was lit up on the dashboard, caused visual confusion and distraction while driving, and would cause a panic to a driver if the vsa modulator went out on them while they were driving. Plus the displays crashed, so there was no way or knowing your speed. The vsa modulator was replaced for nearly $1,500 from the Honda dealership and there were no prior errors on this vehicle or part.
Tpms light comes on for a few seconds after the car turns on. This happens every time the tires or rotated or replaced. I took it to the dealership several times but all they do is reset it but that never solves the problem. This has been happening on and off for over a year.
I was experiencing an issue with a brand new lease I acquired 3 months ago. The senors on the dashboard lit up and the steering wheel began to lock up while driving. I phoned Honda around 10 am and after being transferred several times was told there was nothing they could do to accommodate me until the car was diagnosed which was understandable. 3 days later I was told rodents chewed through my wires in the engine harness and it would not be covered by my 3-month-old warranty. Unfortunately for me, I was unaware that Honda wraps all of its wires with a soy-based product that attracts rodents but Honda will not cover the expense nor will they re-wrap the wires with a repellant that they sell unless you purchase it first.
Got the car on October 2017, drove it off the lot brand new is a 2018 car driving to my house the lights on my dashboard lights up breaks, motor, oil, air on tires, all of them light up like a christmas tree, I took to the Honda dealer and the assistant manager reset the car because the service department was closed. A week later the lights came up again. I call them and they told me to bring in the car they don't know what's going on since this is a new car with no recalls. I guess the reset the car again and gave it back to me. December 2017 again the lights came on I called the dealership now I'm worried because I don't want to drive a car where I don't know if my breaks are working or any other part of the car since I'm driving this car every day to work. They told me it was the oil pump they order one and changed it. Here we are on March 26, 2018, and the lights are all backlighting my dashboard there must be something wrong with this car. I am scared to drive this car.
While driving 80 mph with the cruise set I noticed the vehicle start to heavily accelerate. I immediately turned the cruise off and applied the brake. The brake did no stop the car from accelerating. I managed to slow down enough to shut the vehicle off. All dash board lights came on. I started the car up again and it started jerking as if the brake and gas were being pressed at the same time. The car was towed via Honda care.
