All brake lights are displayed on dash, along with steering, tire, and ABS lights. I spoke with the dealership two years ago and the part has been backordered. They could not tell me when it would become available. I checked today and it's available and expensive. When driving my brakes shake. I've had the brakes repaired at least for times and they still don't fully brake properly.

Vehicle ABS malfunctioning making some dashboard lights come on. A bunch of random codes in the readers makes it hard to identify the issue. Codes are not specific and a bunch of other components need to be tested/replaced before realizing the actual main issue causing the owner spend a ridiculous amount of money and time. Only dissappear if ABS module is replaced which is hard to find(up to two years of wait) unless bought used which also comes with the same risk of failing prematurely. This problem messes up with the vehicle traction in raw weather conditions, as well as braking, steering, and overall safety of the occupants.

After my car serviced. Four new wheels, alignment, oil change etc..My ABS light, Brake light, Traction control light, and power steering light all started to come on at the same time. I did some research and found out its due to Honda’s faulty ABS module. It cost $2600.00 to repair and its all due to a wire malfunction inside the module.

2017 Honda Accord V6; Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Module went bad and it needs to be replaced but Honda is unable to provide quick fix or a replacement part because it is backordered and they don't know when they'll have it in stock even when I am willing to pay for it upfront. This is causing my car to go out of control on wet roundabouts or when merging from interstate to local roads w/ good Tires condition and within speed limit.

About 3 months ago, the emergency brake light, traction control light, ABS light and power steering light started coming off and on, they now stay on all the time. I took and had it checked, CODE 121-11 for the VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Had it checked for a program update I was told that there wasn't an update and the part to fix it has been on backorder from Honda for at least two years. (I notified Honda about this) I have a very strange sound when applying the brakes on a cold start and I can also feel a jerk in the brake pedal. Also noticed that oil is leaking around the engine cover and was told that it is a manufacturing issue with Honda. The cover is plastic and over the years, the plastic shrinks and causes a small oil leak. Replacing the cover and gasket would fix this.

I was pulling my car forward into a parking spot in my apartment complex with my foot on the brake. I was about three quarters of the way into the spot when I suddenly felt the car lurch forward at what felt like a high rate of speed. The car lurched forward over the sidewalk and was stopped by two parked cars and a light pole. My car was moving slowly as I pulled in the spot before the sudden acceleration.

When driving at a very slow speed I can hear what sounds like rubbing. As the car gets up to speed the sound is still there, but not as noticeable with all of the other noises during driving. It sounds like the brakes are getting stuck or have a slow release. There is no visual damage to the rotor or brake pads, but the wheel noise is still there. I've seen many people have this same issue with no fix available. I don't care if its known to happen because of the tire/rim package, or whatever. Fix the issue! This is a recurring issue that no one seems to be on the hunt for the fix. This is a safety issue.

Electrical system failure. Had to replace the battery and that didn't work. The safety features on the car are no longer operating (ABS, lkas, acc). These features all stopped working while driving on the highway. This was terrifying and could be an issue if someone is used to having these features available and all of a sudden they don't work. If a driver is dependent on these safety features after driving for several years with having them on, a driver could potentially cause harm to themselves or others if these features are suddenly not functioning correctly. When I went to the dealer they said it wasn't covered under the car warranty. Car is only 2 years old and has under 60k miles.

On numerous occasions, while driving at various speeds, my honda accord collision avoidance system will apply the brakes for no reason. There was nothing ahead of me that should cause this to happen. Luckily, this has not happened when someone was closely following me. This has happened at least 10 times since I bought the car new in 2017. It happens when driving straight on a highway.

Loud grinding noise coming from front wheels on 2017 accord sport since almost new. Very noticeable at lower speeds. Honda dealer insisted grinding noise was from tire/rim combination and not items such as rotors, brakes, and/or wheel bearings, etc..

I purchased my vehicle brand new april 2017. I am hearing a grinding, scratching noise coming from the front tires at low speeds (20 MPH). I have 24,000 miles on the car and have gone to my local honda dealership to have every scheduled maintenance service. I'm not sure why my vehicle is having this loud grinding noise, especially when I have my windows down. The performance of my brakes are also not functioning properly because I can feel the grinding on the brake pedal and can hear the thumping noise when I am coming to a stop. I am concerned for my safety even more so now because I've noticed a lot of complaints about the same issue on this website.

On or about 6/10/19 while driving to work I noticed a noise coming from the rear of my car. The sound was like screeching nails on a chalkboard when the car is in motion at any speed without the brake pedal depressed. The sound would go away when I depressed the brake pedal. After I picked up my car on 6/15/19 from service, with only 18,119 miles, I was informed by my local honda dealer that all the brake pads had seized and all brake caliper pins had frozen. The car has only been subject to normal driving. This is honda case # 09629449.

While operating my vehicle, in motion, the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) light comes on frequently for no reason. This occurs while driving in both city street & highway driving as well. The cmbs system has also fully activated by itself a few times, for no apparent reason, resulting in the brakes locking up completely. This could have resulted in my being hit from behind as I have no control over the vehicle when this occurs. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer for this problem more than once, and was told that the system was operating normally. Apparently there is no fix for this problem. When the light comes on and the system activates I feel very unsafe operating the vehicle. The problem has been there since the vehicle was purchased new in july 2017. *the date selected below is the first of many occurrences, to include just yesterday*

My car braking system and all the safety systems stopped functioning on my car while I was on the highway (garden state parkway south) this morning, 3/15/2019. My brakes did not work to slow the car down at all. When it initially started to show the error messages I tried to use the brakes and it felt like my car accelerated. I luckily was able to allow my car to slow down naturally and get off at a rest stop (monmouth rest area, and force pull the emergency brake to a stop and put my car in park. It was really a scary situation on a very busy highway to have your brakes not work at all. I was advised it could be a lie battery indicator of the electronic system that is all connected to even the brakes. It is highly dangerous that an electrical glitch or malfunction can completely disable my braking system and all other safety features.

We recently purchased a 2017 honda accord ex-l v6 at a dealership in duluth georgia. We traded a 2007 honda accord after having had an excellent experience with it. This nearly new vehicle is different from the 2007. It is mostly good but I discovered what I consider a safety issue. When the brake is applied, to reduce speed or come to a full stop, there is nearly a half second delay after lifting your foot from the brake pedal before the accelerator pedal becomes functional. If you happened to depress the accelerator prior to the end of the delay, the vehicle lurches forward and you could impact the vehicle ahead of you, or if you are moving forward and brake again to offset the forward lurch, the vehicle behind you could assume you were moving forward and rear end you because you braked unexpectedly. This situation could also be a problem when stopped on a hill either up or down. The delay creates a moment when the vehicle is out of control and unsafe. The fix could possible be to reduce the time of the lag or eliminate the lag situation completely in the computer module. I hope you will look into this concern!

Brake caliper retaining clips appear to be incorrectly installed or poorly designed. This has a trail of problems compiling at a quick pace. The brake pads don't travel freely even with grease. The outside brake pads will wear out approximately 1-2 millimeters before the inside brake pads wear down to the squealer (warning noise to let you know brake pad replacement is needed). The other pads will grind the outer surface of the rotars. Brake pads will not retract bake to normal position and constant friction causes excessive heat which is carried out through the caliper pistons, wheel hub/bearings, wheels, significant motor and transmission damage being over worked. Gas mileage is constantly in high teens. Rarely have I ever hit over 25mpg regardless of city driving out highway driving. First sign of brake pad failure@1st 8,000 miles on vehicle. Brake fluid is already burnt or drk brwnish color at 40,000 miles. This car generates more than questionable heat from front wheels after 10mins of parking lot driving. This appears as if the vehicle is being driving hard as if I am abusing the 2.4l 4cyl engine powering a CVT transmission.

I have started noticing engine acceleration lag, a tire/wheel noise from driver front/rear side. The noise was very noticeable since it felt like the tire/wheel was rubbing against each other somewhere. The noise can be heard driving at the speed of 15-30mph having the window roll down. June 4th, 2018 made a appointment with purchasing dealership yonkers honda to have the car checked. However they could not duplicate the issue, so I test drove with mechanic and proved my case. After hearing the noise, they kept the car to fix the issue and when I went to pick up the car the noise was back again. Since they could not fix the issue, they labeled it as "normal" and cannot duplicate the noise despite showing it to them after multiple visit. I opened a case with american honda and they could not get yonkers honda to fix the issue or get the manager to call me to explain what happened. Instead, amh advised me to try another dealership which I did, "new rochelle honda" however they were no help whatsoever. They did not even want to work on the car despite their mechanic hearing the noise. The director informed the manager that there is no problem with the car and fed honda lies about director ever contacting me or test driving with me. I called honda again, and they did not help me instead told me to go to another dealership. I am on my third dealership, working with bronx honda about the same issue since june 4th, 2018 and still no fix...now I am experiencing acceleration lag, brake rotors issues, wheel vibration, vibration while braking from high speed even though bronx honda resurfaced the brake rotors instead of replacing them with new one.
