2019 Honda Civic: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Oct 1, 2025 · Brakes · GU

Noticed when braking, car veered to the right. The day before I dropped it off to the dealership to have it checked, the brakes felt weird a bit hard, and suddenly would not brake for few seconds (functioned again after) as I was approaching a roundabout. I dropped it off to the dealership and they confirmed an issue with the ABS Modulator. I am currently waiting for parts for it.

Since April of 2024, my steering has been sticking when making the slightest of turns. It has progressively gotten worse. I initially thought that I needed power steering fluid but that did not correct the issue. This sticky causes my vehicle to veer to the left and right abruptly into other lanes. I am fighting to keep the vehicle straight. I can hear the sticking noise constantly due to the lack of lubrication in the steering gearbox. I am fearful that I may cause an accident and injure myself or others when driving and I would like assistance in having the dealership correct this issue. This issue also causes the sensors for my ABS, Adaptive Cruise control, lane departure etc to malfunction and alarm.

On Sunday morning, 8/27/2023, I entered my car after having driven it an hour prior for around 30 minutes to and from a sandwich shop. I entered the vehicle and turned the engine on without issue, and attempted to accelerate. After making it about ten feet, the acceleration on the gas pedal suddenly stopped working. I would push the gas pedal and the car would not move, nor the engine even rev. Confused, I parked and turned the car off and on again. Upon turning the car on, the engine stalled for a brief moment before slowly engaging. It was at that moment that I felt the entire car shifting back and forth, shaking. I immediately shut the car off out of fear and waited for a few moments before making a second attempt, being met with the exact same result. The next day, I entered the vehicle and attempted to turn it on again. This time, it started up and the engine engaged without any issue. However, I was now bombarded by dozens of error messages on my dashboard with systems such as emergency break, ABS, power steering, etc. giving me warnings. This morning, I had a mechanic come out and attempt diagnose the issue. He was confused when running the diagnostic tool through the systems, as he received "permanent codes" regarding several issues with the car. Taking some time to research, his opinion was that there may be an issue with the fuel pump motor. There is an open recall on 2019 Honda Civics for the fuel pump, however my specific vehicle does not seem to show up as needing this fix when I search with my VIN. After taking some time to check things, the Mechanic and myself proceeded to test drive and ensure that the car seemed safe to operate, where the mechanic approved my vehicle and encouraged me to send a report.

I turned on my vehicle and randomly had multiple warning lights come on including power steering, ACC, VSA, Hill start assist, LKAS, ABS. The power steering completely went out completely randomly but the power steering fluid is full. Two weeks ago I had my fuel pump recalled and now I have these issues. Valley Hi Honda in Victorville CA has not returned my calls and has been absolutely no help. If I had been driving there would be a good chance I would have crashed as I would have been unable to navigate a turn.

1.The Automatic Breaking System malfunctioned, and is available for inspection upon request. 2. Safety was at risk because in March 2020, the car stopped itself on North Carolina route 70 in the middle of traffic without warning and without cause/reason. 3. Dealership inspected the system on April 1st, 2021 and found no issue. They told me to manually turn off the system every time I start the car. 4. No, the car was not inspected for the ABS by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or anyone else. 5.No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms were on. Finding this article has prompted me to pursue the problem again. https://myfox8.com/news/money-matters/over-1-7m-hondas-investigated-for-unexpected-automatic-braking/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwAR3h1YQ5WtFCpKL7VaZ4jB2gP4TmhAukrSG72UX_7pLXQF7XN4bMQIWITDc

While driving (50+/- MPH) on a two lane state road, my 2019 honda civic hatchback sport cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) automatically engaged, bringing my vehicle very close to a complete stop for no reason I could see. There were no vehicles in front of me in either direction and fortunately no vehicle following or I would have been rear-ended. Clear morning, nothing on the roadway, no wildlife I saw. Dry and sunny, no leaves, no breeze, bare pavement. A sweet june morning in dutchess county, ny. Out of the blue the cmbs engaged automatically applying the brakes so hard I could feel the ABS kicking on and in moments I was at a crawl, then the car simply behaved normally again. I've owned this car less than a week. There is no means provided to shut this feature off permanently. The only way to override the cmbs is to manually turn it off every time I restart the car. It resets every time the car is turned off. This feature may wind up causing more rear end collisions as it avoids front end collisions. What would the consequences be if that scenario happened while on a curve, driving 50 MPH in the rain? Or in rush hour traffic on a highway at 60 MPH (or faster) where commuters typically tailgate across three or four lanes of traffic? This was my very first experience with cmbs in any vehicle and I consider it a total failure and extremely dangerous when it can engage with such force while it's a false alarm.
