ABS Module went out on my vehicle while on the highway. Three lights came on, as shown in attached photo. Vehicle brake system began acting up in the moment. This is a very common issue on 2013-2017 Honda accords from all mileage amounts. They are all still on and while I can drive the vehicle, if there are any instances where I need to brake suddenly, myself and the people around me will probably end up in a dangerous collision. The Honda dealership has quoted me $2,600 to fix this with no additional information. Thousands of other drivers are experiencing the same issue. Shame on Honda for not allowing a recall on this.

ABS module is defective after 7 years, there have been many reports and very expensive to fix, why hasn’t Honda made this a recall?
There were emergency lights on dashboard all of a sudden for Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Brakes, Collision Warning and lane departure warning. These functions aren’t functioning all of a sudden and claims to need attention although the car is only 6 years old
While traveling in New York City, several warning lights illuminated on the dashboard of my 2016 Honda Accord, including a red light for the brakes. Upon returning home, my local dealer diagnosed the problem and determined that the vehicle stability assist (VSA) module failed and needed to be replaced. I prepaid for the part; however, the dealer advised that the VSA module is on backorder and will not be available until November 5, 2023. I feel that the delay of a critical brake component affects my safety and the safety of other motorists. Therefore, I requests assistance with the immediate repair of the vehicle or alternate transportation until repairs are completed.
Bad ABS module. Code 122-11 solenoid valve malfunction code. Brake, traction control, power steering, ABS lights on
The backup camera in my vehicle randomly but consistently stops working while the vehicle is in motion. The camera drops because the entire infotainment system crashes. The frequency of occurrence is approximately 2-3 times per month, but the problem has occurred for the past two years (around the time when Honda replaced the infotainment system due to a service bulletin). The system crashes usually within the first 1-5 minutes of driving. Sometimes it crashes when the vehicle is going forward, but a higher percentage of crashes occur in the first minute after I start the vehicle. If the vehicle is going forward and the system crashes, I lose the side camera which activates when I make a lane change to the left or a left-hand turn. I have notified Honda of this issue; i've worked with a local dealer and corresponded with Honda Corporate. Importantly, I provided Honda with photos showing the system failure. However, Honda Corporate refuses to fix the problem because, in their words, "we don't fix a problem that only happens periodically." Unacceptable! Drivers like my self depend on the backup camera. Like the airbag or seat belt, the back-up camera should be regarded as a safety device. If it fails, an OME should be required to fix the issue immediately. Yet Honda refuses to address the problem with my vehicle, and I doubt mine is the only car with this problem. Taking photos of this problem is hard because the crash is unpredictable and getting my phone out and snapping a picture is difficult and discouraged. Nevertheless, the two photos i've attached are of crashes when the vehicle is going forward. My concern, though, is loosing the backup camera when in reverse. Please help me redress this issue. Thank you!
The ADAS features of my vehicle have been intermittently functional due to a single camera component failing. This has cause unpredictable braking behavior when the car is driven, as the car's emergency braking function abruptly slow the vehicle on some occasions, but not brake the vehicle on other outings. Additionally, the component failure has caused several dependent MILs to illuminate most times the vehicle is driven, usurping other important MIL notifications such as unrelated component failures and maintenance alerts. The ADAS MIL alerts were not present before the component failure. These issues first started 15 months ago, but I've been informed that the necessary replacement component (multipurpose camera) has been backordered the entire time.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the rear-view camera image was distorted. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 54,440.
Inoperable backup camera causing Rear Cross Traffic Warning and Parking Collision warning malfunction - due to a camera plastic mounting tab breakage issue. This puts the safety of other cars or people behind the vehicle at risk when backing up. There were no warnings of the failure - my wife discovered it when reversing one day and had a near miss.I looked at it and the backup camera is no longer in the proper position. The car only has 18K miles on it. I took it to the Honda dealer and their service team tells me one of the camera mounts is broken and it happens all the time. They tell me the Accord backup camera usage is extremely high due to mounting tabs breaking. I spoke with my local Honda garage and they told me they see this issue all the time. I called multiple Honda Dealer Parts Dept's across the country and they all tell me usage is very high and the cameras are on back order. There were four Technical Service Bulletins issued on this 2016 Accord to check for backup camera usage: MC-10187541-0001, MC-10189132-0001, MC-10189839-0001 & MC-10190945-0001 - in February through March 2021. The 2017+ Accords had been recalled by NHSTA for "inoperable" camera software as it was considered a safety issue in the past. Most recently (in 2023) Honda FIT and HR-V models were recalled by the NHSTA related to backup camera issues. The design of the backup camera was also changed as the part number for the replacement does not match the original & yet Honda is not retrofitting the new parts for owners. The Honda part numbers for the camera are as follows: Original in the car: 39530-T2A-A310-M2; First replacement for the original P/N 39530-T2A-A31; Current replacement (February 2023) P/N 39530-T2A-A410-M1 (Sony VCB-H3D8). I had my original backup camera replaced by my Honda dealer - the original part was kept by the dealer to be sent back to Honda of America (per the dealer). I did keep pictures of the old camera as well as the replacement.
I have had problems with the backup camera it outlines however the picture is not working and has been out for some time I have asked the honda dealer to look at this matter and it was never resolved also took the car to be serviced many times, so I started taking the car for service else where and was told they can not help me, this is a safety matter I am looking to get this matter resolved I have been parking and avoiding backing up due to this problem I need answers and the problem fixed thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My clock and rear view camera stopped working at the same time. Everything else still works.
I was driving approx 70 MPH on the interstate hwy when I engaged the cruise control. Shortly after that the car began braking. Pressing the accelerator wouldn't disengage the cruise control. The car came to a complete stop in the middle lane of the interstate. Only after turning off the engine and restarting was I able to drive.
While my wife was driving in the local community on a trip to her relatives house, out 2016 honda accord touring model's automatic braking warning light and associated application of the brakes came on at least 4 times within a 9 mile drive. Each time there were no other vehicles or obstacles near the car. I plan to make an appointment with the dealer this week. I have read dozens of similar complaints about this same issue with the honda collision mitigation system. I think a recall for this issue may be necessary.
If I have the car light on auto and turn off the car the engine still runs and it does not turn off until I turn of the auto switch for the headlights and the indicator comes on randomly and I don't feel safe in this car
My car keeps losing all power while im driving and then turns on.
My vehicles cruse control, lane departure, collision warning and lane assist completely stopped working after being parked (stationary) in my driveway, vehicle has always had problems with front suspension since new and become unstable with braking hard if another driver cut me off having to apply brakes or when applying brakes down hill.. Vehicle was taken to deal for front suspension but never fixed after multiple attempts under warranty.. The latest issue with driver safety system is a manufacturers failure as these are features supposedly to prevent accidents and so fourth on public roads and highways. My vehicle is just over 4 years old and maintained and serviced to manufactures specification. In researching thru the web I found honda owners having this same issue with their vehicle. I believe honda should recall and fix these problems on their vehicles computer / software or sensors for public safety. Part of the weather door window stripping is also deteriorating.
Since I got the car in 2016 the radio has been freezing then going completely black while driving. My battery has died multiple times without leaving anything on or open. I'm currently sitting in the parking lot after just starting my car and moving it to another parking spot, came back to start my car and go home and the battery was faintly trying to start and then completely died. My car won't start and the radio screen is white. Now is making a clicking sound without touching anything.
Honda accord 2016 eps system lock power sterling wheel during drive. Lucky, I can slow down and shut off the engine to avoid accident. This vehicle just 34600 miles and day purchase just expired 30 days. Honda should fix this issued more than warranty and avoid people in danger with this type issued in future.
I was driving on 35-38 MPH in a 35mph zone. The road was curving in the form of a c and my tires started to skid. Once I applied brakes and I couldn't feel anything braking and once again applied, the car turned 90 degree, straightened out on the road but not completely meaning the car was still going forward in the direction on the road but a 30 degree angle. I couldn't control steering or brakes and hit a fire hydrant at the end. I asked the insurance company to contact honda for details know the different control units and reading but they didn't want to go that route. Now my insurance rate is up and I have 2 points since the cops didn't believe it could have been the cars fault.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda accord. The contact stated that the lane departure system would be deactivated, but would independently reactive while driving above 65 MPH. The failure occurred at least three times. The contact also mentioned that the gauges and warning indicators would flicker on the instrument panel. Failure milage was 10,000.
Since the car was purchased in march 2016 has been having electrical issues, almost everyday no start condition. Needs to be jumped everyday. Had the dash board fuse blown within 2 months of purchase of the car, had battery replaced within 9 months of purchase and had alternator tested. Since the transmission recall rough idle on drive and rpms lower then what normally were. No recall as oer VIN for battery sensor but theres some serious issue car wants to stall while driving sometimes. Someting seriously wrong. Randomly steering light, traction control, brake lighy comes on and goes off
My husband was driving, I was in the passenger seat on a clear day, full visibility, there was a car several car lengths ahead of us turning right. It cleared the way without us needing to break. We were traveling about 40 MPH at around 2pm. Our vehicle thought there was still a hazard in the road. We have a sensing package in the vehicle, which caused our car to come to a full and complete stop, engaging the seat belts as well. We have full video evidence of the incident from a third party dash cam. We were almost hit from behind. We took the vehicle to the dealership thinking there was something wrong with it, it was returned, saying that the car worked as intended. Having been in the vehicle at the time, and I disagree, and am now extremely afraid to drive my car. While I have no pictures, I have full video of the incident, and will gladly provide it upon request.

I have honda sensoring on my 2016 accord sport. I drive a winding road every day and when I go around a curve the sensoring activates my braking system which slams the brakes, it is very unexpected and startling . I turn off my sensoring but every so often it happens even with it off. Also there is apart of the road I drive on everyday it curves before crossing a bridge for some unknown reason the sensoring will activate and steer me to on coming traffic. The other day I almost hit a big rig. And like the braking system it is not all of the time. I am very concerned that the sensoring is going to cause me to crash. The good thing is I can over power the system and I am a experienced driver. However I am beginning to teach my child to drive and I am afraid something devastating might happen.
Purchased my coupe in november 2016 brand new. I have less than 8600 miles on it. The other night my car went into complete shutdown, completely dead. I was told it could be the main fuse. Why would the main fuse blow on brand new car? That very dangerous while driving. Luckily I was pulling into my mother's driveway and not on the highway or in traffic.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda accord. While driving 35 MPH approaching a metal plate, the collision warning indicator iluminated.
