2006 Honda CR-V: check engine light

Filed Aug 19, 2021 · SC

My car gets up to 2500 rpms and the check engine light comes on and the VSA warning light as well. The car jerks hard and the engine stutters and won't hardly go. it's done this to me twice and I had the ecu reset. The diagnostic comes up as the vsa system modulator. I have had my 6 and 9 year old granddaughters in the car with me. If I had been on the interstate in heavy traffic taking them to their doctor appointments, we would have been killed. The third time this thing went out I had to pull into the shoulder of the road to avoid being hit. I believe Honda knows about this problem and they should be made to replace the part for free. This is a major safety hazard and the part runs almost $2000 without the labor. I believe they want to drag their feet and not recall this part because it's so expensive. I don't want to die in my car and I can't afford to buy another one. Thanks.

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.

10-year-old honda cr-v with only 60k miles experienced failure of two key sensors in june 2016: 1) the vsa/ABS control module, and 2) the air/fuel ratio sensor. The failure of #1 caused the ABS and tcs lights on the instrument panel to turn on; and the loss of #2 caused the "check engine" light to turn on. Total cost to replace both via non-dealer mechanic was $2,425, which owner paid. Online research indicates this is a common failure for this make/model, so filing complaint with the federal safety agency for the public record.

On may 8th, I drove my 2006 honda cr-v home from a restaurant. I traveled about 25 miles per hour in my neighborhood. My honda cr-v suddenly shut off engine and restarted itself. The vsa light, check engine light and one more light came on. I was so scared. On may 10th, I took my car to honda dealer to be checked out. They told me that the vehicle stability assistance (vsa) system failed after I owned the car for four years and at 45000+ miles. Dealer told me it cost $2300 dollars to replace the system. I did not accept it. I asked dealer and america honda corp. To help. Finally they agreed I paid $725 dollars for the entire repair.
