Brakes became spongy. Honda dealer said the ABS modulator seems to be failing. $1500-2000 without labor and it may not fix the problem. We believe there should be a recall on this. It is a continuing issue. Our crv is parked at this time.

What owners say
Vehicle was in motion, brakes started to vibrate & upon taking it to the dealership was informed that the problem with the brakes is is a faulty ABS module. This was after new brakes had been installed, new rotors, paid to have the brake system bled twice (about $700). To install a new ABS module, the cost is $2,100 just for the part from honda. The car is now dangerous to drive without the part. Honda dealership service shop foreman informed me this is a common occurrence on these cars. In addition, I received a letter that there is a takata airbag recall for this car in march, now it is april and those new parts have not been received by the dealer yet. I have a car sitting in my driveway that is not safe to drive now 1) it needs a $2100 part, which the service foreman tells me is not guaranteed to last because they are faulty; and 2) there is an airbag part that is not available at any dealership that I have checked; and 3) the factory alarm will not set, I have had it checked by two honda dealerships and they do not know what is wrong with it. This car is not safe to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda cr-v. The contact stated while driving at various speeds the tire pressure, vsa and ABS warning light intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the rear driver and passenger's side wheel sensors were replaced. After the repair the failure still recurred. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.
Head on collision with another vehicle, both doing at least 50 MPH. Airbag didn't deploy. Vehicles involved were my 08 honda crv and a 95 chevrolet camaro. Car was taken to body shop with $9,000 in damages. Once repaired, air bag light was on. I was told by body shop it needed a new sensor, new ABS valve and seat belt buckle. Honda dealer is trying to say I was hit too high for the sensors but I was hit hard enough to bend the flanges on the side frame rail 4 bolt mount. Honda dealer doesn't want to discuss with me.
A newly purchased honda crv 4wd 2008 model in manila. Driving was practically immobilized when malfunction indicator lamp(mil), vehicle stability assist (vsa) light,vsa activation light, and ABS light were illuminated was an abnormal gear engagement, we were nearly hit from behind because of delayed, short-intermittent engine acceleration. Most of the warning lights deal with wheels and brakes but practically there was no engine rev when you step on the gas pedal.
