My airbag was replaced last year. And now it will not pass mandatory state inspections due to a ABS light that will not go off. I've had many people try and figure it out? Yet the air bag has something to do with it. I need this fixed immediately the state of virginia will not pass the air bag light being on unknown..

I was driving on 101 nb when this incident happened. The traffic was heavy and there was jam as I approached intersection of 101 and 85, so I stepped on the brake to slow down behind other car. While slowing down, I noticed that the radio was gone and then came back on after few seconds. Then ABS and rsr lights started to blink, the car seemed to loose the power, all needles (tachometer, speedometer) came down to 0 and finally the car just stopped moving. I pressed emergency light but it wasn't working. I tried to restart the car but nothing happen. This was very frightening with the car stopped in second lane from left and emergency light not working. There was not warning sign that the car would stop running, I couldn't pull over to the shoulder. I called 911, while waiting to get through, suddenly the all lights came back on. I then started the car, it started like nothing was wrong. So I had the emergency light on, took exit and drove back home. And while driving back home, the car again seemed to have the same problem, fortunately it didn't stop and I reached home safely. I am so scary to drive this car again. I don't know when it will stop in the middle of the road or worse the heavy traffic highway. This is very dangerous situation. Had I was driving at higher speed and there was no heavy traffic, and suddenly my car stop running, I could get into fatal accident as well as other who might have involved. My car has only 68,000 miles and in very good condition. I hope this issue can be addressed soon enough, otherwise some lives will be lost.

When driving, gentle pressure is applied to pedal, but full force is applied by braking system, ABS engages and causes vehicle to stop suddenly. Could have caused accident.

While travelling on the highway, I needed to brake for the car ahead of me. As I pressed the brake pedal and began to brake, the pedal started to pulse and the front end to shake. The brakes completed locked up and began smoking horribly. You could not drive the vehicle because the braking system was engaged without any pressure being placed upon the pedal. The car had to be towed, it was not driveable. Honda fixed it stating it was an ABS hydraulic problem. Less than two weeks later the same event occurred with the braking system. Brakes completed locked and were smoking. Vehicle again was not driveable. Honda service stated that they had never seen anything like this problem. They said that they were not really sure what the problem was that was causing the brake system to fail. They would replace the master cylinder to see if this would resolve the problem. Quite frankly, I'm not sure that I want to trust anything with the cars' current braking system. I have been very lucky twice, myself or someone else may not be so lucky a third time.
