ABS, TIRE PRESSURE (FLASHING FOR 1ST MINUTE OR SO), POWER STEERING, & TRACTION CONTROL warning lights all came on. Points to ABS control unit failure. I had to panic stop the other day to avoid hitting a squirrel, & the wheels locked & the car skidded -- no ABS pulsing of the brakes. I understand this is a VERY common problem with these cars. There should be a recall.

What owners say
ABS solenoid internal malfunction
So the vsa/abs module on my car is malfunctioning which controls the abs system and the vehicles safety assist and my car through a code that says abs/vsa module malfunction and also I've been doing research online about it and all the forums and articles I've read says that it's a very common problem with 2007-2017 Honda Accord vehicle and I've reached out to multiple auto shops and they have told me it's a very common issue as well and that those module are not made to last due to how they are made and the costs to buy new to replace it is $2000 and can only be bought or order at a dealership and nowhere else and honestly not everyone can afford that repair cost so I feel a recall is necessary because they fail all the time due to how they are made and it affects a really important safety feature on the car
I have a Honda Accord Sport. My vehicle does not appear on the recall website. I am having so many issues with my vehicle lately. The following lights stay on continuously on my dashboard. The tire pressure light, ABS, tired skid traction, brake and steering wheel lights are on. I have tried everything to get these issues resolved and nothing seems to be working. I am thinking now that this could possibly be an electrical issue or sensor issue. I have replaced my batter twice, my passenger side window fell, and I had the motor replaced and it is still not working. My car stalls when I am driving, sitting still and when I turn the air conditioning on. I have had so many repairs done to this vehicle. The invoices will be attached to this as well. I have basically made the care new under the hood, and nothing is working. I need help to get this issue resolved as soon as possible. This is the only vehicle I have to get to and from work daily. Can you please, find it in your heart to help me.
ABS control module failed. It put me at risk because my car shut down on me while driving could have resulted in a car accident.
ABS LOW VOLTAGE WARNING symbol appeared on vehicle. $3500 to repair according to dealership. This is a common issue on these vehicles and poses a safety risk. Hoping that the federal safety agency will investigate this problem as many owners have experienced same issue and repair cost is significant, particularly for a vehicle this age.
There wasn’t an accident. My ABS module has went out. Which has the traction control light, break light, power steering light, tire light, and ABS light all on, on my dash. After a lot of research it is a known issue in models from 2008-2017 so I feel like there should be a recall on this before something happens. I was driving down the hwy going about 50 when I seen a car pull out of a side road. I had to slam on break and my traction control didn’t work at all. I slid all over the road. Luckily I was able to stop before hitting the car, but the traction control made me go all over the road. This is a problem!
This is an ongoing problem - -- On startup, the vehicle reports 4 system warnings that shut off the cruise control and ABS brakes as well as the other safety systems. This is an intermittent problem. -- The dealer states that the camera is dead and wants $2,500 to replace and calibrate it. This is a common response from dealers I see in all the forums. -- I have found a work-around that is not documented in forums yet. -- If we keep our foot on the brake until after the electronics start sequence finishes, no errors EVERY TIME -- If we take our foot off the brake when the car starts, but before the electronics finish, we get errors every time. This is a dangerous, high-frequency, extremely expensive problem if we follow the dealers suggestions. I do not know what the root cause is, but I know it is not a $2,500 problem. And, I am very concerned about the people driving without the safety features due to the excessive and unnecessary cost.
The ABS/VSA module system malfunctioned/failed. Based on information on online forums and the independent service center I utilized…this has happened before with the 9th generation Honda Accords. As a result, there were issues with acceleration and, in particular, braking which created safety hazard. There were warning lights that went on and off at various times (inconsistently) which first appeared 2 months ago.
ON [XXX] my car while driving suddenly reported ABS brake system failure, together with that other warnings flashed Adaptive cruise, PS System (EPS) failure etc. With difficulty I was able to stop the car and pull over. Same day I called Honda service HQ and lodged a complaint Case number [XXX]. The car has 57,478 miles and is properly maintained. Honda suggested that I drive the car over to a dealership. I am unwilling to drive due to serious safety concerns. Another followup email was sent on July 8th to [email protected] but has resulted in no response. I am a [XXX] and even though its a serious safety incidence, Honda has shown no signs of concern . Please advise and help me out, the company should get it towed and fix the issue free of charge. Thank you INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ABS Module set the following lights to turn on: emergency brake, traction control, steering wheel with exclamation mark.
ABS module went out, from what I’m reading it’s a common issue among Hondas
