The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 65-70 MPH over the connecting point between the road and a bridge, the vehicle jolted to the right and jerked. The contact was able to continue driving. The contact stated that after pulling into his driveway, the TPMS, the power steering and the acceleration warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with acceleration sensor and Yaw rate sensor failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.
There is known issue with the ABS Modulator with this gen Honda Accord. I believe the affected years are 2013-2017. The selenoid for the ABS module goes bad and the light in the attached photo comes on. Basically, the soldering for the tinny modulator wires comes off. Honda sells the at for $2300 These was a class action for the similar issue in Thailand and Honda had to repair all the affected vehicles at no charge. [XXX] Also, it's so common that people on ebay service these selenoids and solder the wires. I think you guys need to step up and put some pressure on Honda and have them honor the service to the affected customer without extra charge.

In July 2023 after having brake pads and rotors replaced at the Honda dealership, several dashboard lights went on: LDW/FCW, traction control, steering, and ABS lights came on. After a diagnostic test at the dealership, they wanted over $2600 for parts and labor for a new ABS module. However, this part is “on backorder” with NO ETA. We spent less than $700 to have a mechanic remove the current ABS module, send it to CA to a place we found on eBay that repairs them, and have the mechanic replace it after bleeding the brake lines and replacing the brake fluid. This is a KNOWN issue (see Reddit, YouTube, these complaints, mechanics…even the dealership) on a part that should last the lifetime of the car. I expected more from Honda.
ABS Module failed and hence indicators for ABS, Electronic steering, stability assist, and tire low pressure have come on. On diagnosis with the dealer, it was told that the module has failed, and it has to be replaced. Such low-quality parts were not expected from Honda.
ABS module failing and causing ABS sensor, TPS sensor, powersteering sensor and hand brake light turn on. Very dangerous when you meed ABS in action. When i research almost all cars from 2014 having this issue. Honda must recall this car to replace abs module
My dashboard is lit up with lights .. Abs,break vehicle skid control, and steering wheel .I need a new abs control module I am told I have 178,000 The breaks are new, but now making a funny nose. Including shaking and vibrating and squeeking in my driver side wheel. The driver wheel makes a clunking noise only when the lights turn on. And breaks seem to be acting weird.. when lights come on my steering wheel also makes weird noise when turning.
ABS / VSA module failure
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.
ABS modulator failure. Brake lights and warning lights flashing all the time. Maintenance/Repair shop diagnosed as ABS modator failure. But Honda does not have this part. On backorder with NO estimated delivery date. I called several Honda dealers and OEM Mf parts dealers in the nation - all say part not available. Now my daughter is driving a car with faulty ABS.
Vsa/ABS control modulator went bad. Honda dealer tried to reset and didn’t resolve. New part is back ordered 5-6 months. Anti slip/traction no longer operable
I took my 2014 Honda Accord Ex in for repairs on September 4, 2023 and the Honda dealership informed me that after replacing the battery that the it that the VSA Modulator on the car has gone bad which has been a common problem with this year Honda Accord and others from 2013 all the way to the 2017. And this part has been on back order for months. This a shame.
When the car warms up I get a total of four lights ABS the traction control the brake light and the steering control light comes on Also was told that the problem to fix it was the ABS pump and module which no one has in stock six months out to purchase
My 2014 Honda Accord EX sedan has/had defective Starter and ABS Modulator , Many Honda Accord vehicles in these year range are having or had these same problems . These vehicles should not be having these problems at low mileage . I believe the ABS problems are a safety concern.
ABS module/modulator is faulty. Dashboard lights come on and anti lock brakes do not work in rainy conditions or any condition when braking hard to stop. Many people have experienced the exact same thing. The dealership confirmed that it is the abs/gas modulator.
The brake, steering, and a few other dashboard warning lights come on. Upon checking the diagnostic code, it indicated that the VSA Modulator Assy was the problem. This requires part number 04571-T2F-L01 (replaces 57110-T2F-L01). However, this part has been on a nationwide backorder for several months. I called several local Honda dealers and checked with online vendors as well and they all told me the part has been on backorder for several months. I reported the issue to Honda and the case number is 14081980. The Honda representative had me place an order with a dealer and pay for the part saying they would try to have the order fulfilled. After placing the order and paying for the part, the Honda representative changed her story and told me they can only monitor the order and close the case after the part is shipped. I was charged $1,373.29 for the part and there is no estimate when they will ship the part. Honda still says there is no ETA for the part even after they made me place an order and pay for it. This is a safety hazard as I am forced to drive the car with a malfunctioning VSA Modulator. I suspect several Honda Accord car owners are in the same position as the part is on a nationwide backorder. Please investigate this as a safety issue. Thanks.
My 2014, Honda Accord has every warning light on the dashboard on. Once this happened, I took it to my local dealership and was informed that my ABS module had failed. The dealership also informed me that the vehicle was not repairable because of the part being available. The part is on back order with no timetable of when the dealership will get the part.. my car is now sitting because it is unsafe to drive and I am not able to fix it because there are no parts for it.
My 2014 Honda Accord 3.5-V6, 9 years old, it has almost 40,000 miles on it. Recently all warning lights show up on the dashboard (ABS, FCW, Traction control, LDW.....) Honda dealers said it take $3000 to fix it, they mentioned the Honda Accord 2014 is bad designed from Honda Company. I wish the federal safety agency look into this matter, investigate the quality of Honda Accord 2014. Honda must recall to fix the problems. Please. Help us to recall Honda Accord 2014-V6. As a retiree, I don't have much money $3000 to fix the ABS system. Thank you very much.
ABS control module failed and warning lights have appeared. Honda needs to recall and repair this ABS control module. There are many complaints and youtube videos posted online about this problem. My car has less than 60,000 miles and this should not have occurred. Honda is making unreliable cars which they need to recall at their expense, since this can affect safety of passengers.
My 2014 Honda Accord suddenly turn on all the lights, When I took it to Honda dealer it says that ABS Module need to be replace which is cost a lot almost $2K plus, I check for recall but Honda don't have recall for it. when I search online I am not the only one lots of Honda accord owners have the same problem. I kindly request the federal safety agency to share this issue with Honda company to help and give us recall.
ABS Module failed, affects the braking system. Problem confirmed by mechanic. Braking lights on dash all lit up including the "LDW Failure" and "FCW Failure" message on the dashboard. The dashboard warning lights go on and off (not constant, but every time I drive).
I thought I was just imagining that my brakes felt like they were not stopping properly, but I see a recall with other Honda's that have the same issue I have with my brakes. If I tape these brakes fast or hard they feel like they are not going to stop. They also feel like there is air in the air or something of that nature which means this 2014 Im driving has an issue with the brake as well. I keep them serviced but they feel the same way even after changing all the hardware and software.
ABS computer module has gone bad because of the way it was made and poses a hazard to the break system. I have noticed that I have to apply pressure to my breaks. I have called the dealer and this part is on back order, which means I am not the only one with this issue. There should be a recall on this part. I am afraid to drive my car with any passengers in fear my breaks won’t work. I ask that you take a serious look into this problem. I have been dealing with this problem for a year because despite the lights being on, no code was producing the problem until now. This started happening after I popped a tire, front driver side.
ABS modular failed causing ABS brakes FCW and LDW and Traction control to stop working
On June second this year I started my Accord and drove on the freeway adjacent to my home for a few minutes and the ABS, traction control, and the brakes warning lights displayed on the dashboard. They went off after a few miles but continued displaying more frequently for a few days until I parked my car and got an appointment with my Honda certified mechanic. He told me this morning that the ABS control module needs to be replaced. Part and labor are $2,200. Current mileage is 70,480. By the way I felt a bumpy ride since the warning lights went on. I appreciate your feedback and looking forward to hearing your response and advice. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Hello, The ABS and Traction Control lights of my car came on a few weeks ago. I took it to the dealer and they did a diagnostics and they said it is a faulty/bad ABS (VSA) module (computer). Thee car has fairly low mileage and I did not expect the car to have any serious safety issue at around 65000 miles. The dealer told me the part costs about $1500 and the labor is $600. It is too much for me too afford and it is a safety issues at the same time. When I did a bit of online research I saw it is a popular issue for Honda owners and a lot of them complain and suffer about it. It reveals that Honda has a design flaw with any ABS/VSA module. apparently the module is not designed to tolerate the operating condition of the car (vibration, temperature...) and it gets faulty after a few years or some thousand miles. It is very popular. I could provide evidence of it based on my online research. Some Honda owners apparently try to reset the computer and turn of the light (mask the issue) since it is very costly to replace the part but they do not understand the safety impact it has on the passengers. Apparently Honda is ware of its design flaw too but because of the large cost of this module tries to deny or hide it. If you do online research on Honda accord or civic (all accord and civic after 2011, 2012) ABS or VSA module/modulator issues you will see bunch of it. It is a popular issue which needs a bigger action. Since it is safety and it is Honda's design flaw I wanted to report it to you. Please investigate this safety issue further. It might end up being a recall due to safety and since some owners ignore or reset it due to the very high cost. Please help. It is very costly to fix it as you see and I do not want to pay since the vehicles is fairly low millage and it is a Honda's design flaw. You don't see this issue on Internet with Toyotas or Nissans.
I had several warning light appear on the dashboard, and the dealership said that my VSA modulator was starting to go bad. This device controls power steering, anti-lock brakes and other functions. While driving to the Honda service department, the brakes were very low and the steering was loose (dangerous conditions). After doing some research, I found that Honda recalled the VSA modulator on other models, but not for my 2014 Accord. Many other owners of the same model stated that their VSA modulators failed around 34k-36k miles (right at the end of warranty). I still have the original VSA modulator, the dealer just reset the warning lights and sent me on my way. I am writing to request an investigation for Honda to extend the VSA modulator recall to more models, such as the 2014 Accord.
Antilock Brake System modulator failure. Malfunction lights showed Forward Collision Warning System Failure, Antiskid malfunction, FCW and LDW lights illuminated. DTC Code 81-19. THis problem occurred over 2 week period. Dealer replaced ABS modulator.
The contact owns a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights remained illuminated on the instrument panel, related to the braking system failure. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the front-end of the vehicle was vibrating. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
Car occasionally experiences unintended acceleration. This happening today 9/4/2022. Car was brought to a complete stop. It suddenly accelerated while the foot was still on the brake, causing it to rear-end the car in front. Thankfully there no physical injuries reported (yet) We had experienced this a couple of time before. I had contact Honda as well as the local dealer and they cleared the car with no changes.
