2006 Honda CR-V driver assistance problems

Filed Oct 28, 2023 · Brakes, Driver assistance · HI

Vehicle brakes come on spontaneously while driving, during acceleration in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. Seems to be a part of the ABS/VSA system faulty engagement (Anti-Lock Brakes System/Vehicle Stability Assist) since the VSA warning light come on during the fault. Causes vehicle to brake, jerk and buck in middle of road. Almost got rear-ended on several occasions. Car stalls in middle of roadway. Disfunctional safety system failing to work properly. Intermittent problem that has occurred several time in the past year. Local dealer was "not able" to diagnose the problem despite inspection and problem issue report.

The vsa and check engine light will frequently come on and then if I take the vehicle over 2500 rpms I will lose power and the engine will stutter. This happens in anytime the vehicle is in motion, whether it's city streets or highway

I was driving and all of the sudden the car starting acting strange - acceleration was very weak, steering was heavy, and when I was stopped car would nearly stall. Engine light came on, which was alarming. I took car into honda dealer and after doing some research they said I needed a software update due to a glitch in the initial software and charged me $224 which I was not happy to pay. This is clearly a defect in their car software since I didn't do anything that would have affected their car software. It could have been very dangerous had the loss of acceleration occurred on the freeway, threatening my safety and the safety of others.

Vsa and exclamation sign lights lit on dashboard while driving in dry conditions. Brought to dealer and informed the vsa modulator had failed and would need to be replaced...at a cost of $2682. My search indicates that this part fails quite a bit on hondas and needs to be made recalled since its a safety related item.

Vsa module failed along with the ABS. Called honda USA and they admitted that it was a safety issue but did not care and hung up on me. Dealer charged $2400 to fix. Car had only 88,000 miles. We were told we could keep driving the car.

I have a 2006 honda crv with less than 40000 miles. Upon starting the car the vsa and ABS indicator lights came on and would not go off until the engine was turned off. There were no accidents or any noticeable problems with the vehicle while driving on city street under good conditions as we took car to the honda dealer, and was told the vsa module needed to be replaced at the cost of $2,600. Plus pus a charge of $110. For diagnostic test which had to be done. I feel this should be a safety issue, and should warrant a recall. Thanks honda for all your support. Buy american

I own a 2006 crv with under 33000 miles, I take very good care of this vehicle as I'm the original owner. So all of a sudden while driving on the highway my vsa, ABS, engine, tps (triangle explanation point symbol) and brake light come on. I take it to the dealer and I'm told the vsa module needs replacing! Costing $2400. Wow! That's expensive. I think this part should be investigated considering the severity! This part is vital and how has $2400 burning a whole in there pocket? Please help! This is so frustrating!

The vsa and ABS lights on my 2006 cr-v came on upon starting and stayed on until the engine was stopped. This happened every time the car was started. My honda dealership diagnosed the problem to be a faulty ABS modulator unit. The stated replacement cost is $2,400, including labor. I feel that this defect is essential in ensuring the overall safety of this car. The weight of the car is significant enough that an uncontrolled skid is much more likely to end in disaster than a skid that is stopped with the vsa and ABS function working properly. Living in central ohio, the ABS and vsa functions are used frequently - especially in the winter. These key safety features were a top priority in my decision to buy this car. While the car's life expectancy is touted to be around 300,000 miles, it is unforgivable for such a significant safety function to fail at only 102,000 miles. I feel that honda should recall these cars and replace the vsa modulator unit entirely at honda's expense. And for those of us who have already paid for the repair - reimburse the full amount of the repair! The car without vsa and ABS is not at all the same "as advertised" when sold new!
