ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
I was driving my 2009 accord on my snow covered street and the vehicle stability (vsa) light flashed on, as it should, when the vehicle loses traction. However, the light stayed on and the ABS and brake lights both appeared as well and all 3 stayed lit. At first, I thought they would reset, but after a few days, they did not. The vsa and anti-lock brake functions were no longer working. My car was brought to a local dealership where they performed a diagnostic test and based on the computer codes, determined that the ABS modulator needed to be replaced. The cost for this repair was over $1300! At that time, I decided not to complete the repair because I wanted to call american honda to see if they could provide a discount for this very important and expensive safety component. After more than a week, they did finally offer a discount and the repair was completed for $800. My research has indicated that this part has had a history of problems in some honda vehicles manufactured around 2009. The ABS modulator should not have failed on my honda accord with such low mileage. I believe that it must have been a manufacturing defect with 2009 honda vehicles.

My honda accord 2009 is only 33, 216 miles, less than 2 years old but the ABS has problem, I have to replace wheel speed sensor, honda does not cover because the warranty is over. I have never had ABS problem with my 2002 accord that has mileage is over 100,000. I would like to report this issue as ABS malfunction.
I had brand new car bought in march 2009 , later in april 2010 I had accident and airbags didn't blow out and I hit my head, sent it to dealer by insurance company and figured that sensor was defected and they exchanged , later on they flights for ABS and vsc come on intermittently , sent it to dealer , they figured sensors are defected and will exchange , my concern is how come car with defected parts released to market , and honda company didn't do any thing for me , the car cost over $ 20,000.00 it's better to buy a $ 2000.00 car.
2009 honda accord. Consumer states a problem with the ABS and squealing fan belt *tgw the consumer stated he encountered a vehicle attempting to cross two lanes of traffic abruptly and without warning. He narrowly avoided a collision, but in the process his vehicle went in a right hand skid with the tires screeching. It became apparent that the anti-lock brakes did not function, no pulsating occurred as he had experienced in previously owned vehicles. The dealer stated the belt was squealing due to it getting wet from the rain.
On sept 22, 2008, we purchased a new 2009 honda accord v6 and started experiencing brake problems within the first week of ownership. The car has been serviced by honda 12-15 times. Honda has replaced the brake pads, machined the rotors, replaced calipers, installed new ABS modulator and we are still experiencing brake problems. After having all these repairs, the car still has brake issues. We feel as if honda isn't taking this seriously. Not only is the car still experiencing brake problems, the passenger safety restraint & air bags indicators come on in the car when a passenger is in the car. These brake problems and indicator lights do not happen every time the car driven and that is why we believe honda won't correct the problem. Honda is aware that there is an issue with the brake pads, however our car's brake pedal will go to the floor, making it extremely hard to stop the vehicle on occasion. We have had very close encounters to crashing due to this problem. We would like to know if you are aware of these problems with honda?
