After my car serviced. Four new wheels, alignment, oil change etc..My ABS light, Brake light, Traction control light, and power steering light all started to come on at the same time. I did some research and found out its due to Honda-??s faulty ABS module. It cost $2600 to repair and its all due to a wire malfunction inside the module.

2017 Honda Accord V6; Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Module went bad and it needs to be replaced but Honda is unable to provide quick fix or a replacement part because it is backordered and they don't know when they'll have it in stock even when I am willing to pay for it upfront. This is causing my car to go out of control on wet roundabouts or when merging from interstate to local roads w/ good Tires condition and within speed limit.

About 3 months ago, the emergency brake light, traction control light, ABS light and power steering light started coming off and on, they now stay on all the time. I took and had it checked, CODE 121-11 for the VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Had it checked for a program update I was told that there wasn't an update and the part to fix it has been on backorder from Honda for at least two years. (I notified Honda about this) I have a very strange sound when applying the brakes on a cold start and I can also feel a jerk in the brake pedal. Also noticed that oil is leaking around the engine cover and was told that it is a manufacturing issue with Honda. The cover is plastic and over the years, the plastic shrinks and causes a small oil leak. Replacing the cover and gasket would fix this.

I was pulling my car forward into a parking spot in my apartment complex with my foot on the brake. I was about three quarters of the way into the spot when I suddenly felt the car lurch forward at what felt like a high rate of speed. The car lurched forward over the sidewalk and was stopped by two parked cars and a light pole. My car was moving slowly as I pulled in the spot before the sudden acceleration.

When driving at a very slow speed I can hear what sounds like rubbing. As the car gets up to speed the sound is still there, but not as noticeable with all of the other noises during driving. It sounds like the brakes are getting stuck or have a slow release. There is no visual damage to the rotor or brake pads, but the wheel noise is still there. I've seen many people have this same issue with no fix available. I don't care if its known to happen because of the tire/rim package, or whatever. Fix the issue! this is a recurring issue that no one seems to be on the hunt for the fix. This is a safety issue.

The brakes failed while driving. While driving as a slow speed (fortunately) I applied the brakes and all the dash faults came on and the braked failed to work. I had to use the E-brake to stop. I turned the car off, back on, the faults cleared and the brakes work. This could become a deadly crash if it occurs at high speed and the need to stop abruptly happens.

While driving condition, sometimes break problem was found and other 5 problems showing in the odometer that time I couldnot have control on the vehicle. When I push break padel, it doesnot work. I am facing this problrm couple of the time. First time Honda dealer reset the codes, 2nd time they suggest me to replace the battery, I did. Then after while I am facing same problem. What should I do, I dont understand but I am very disappointed with this vehicle. I could be in danger sometimes while on highway. Need the right solution but I still dont get the result.

Electrical system failure. Had to replace the battery and that didn't work. The safety features on the car are no longer operating (ABS, lkas, acc). These features all stopped working while driving on the highway. This was terrifying and could be an issue if someone is used to having these features available and all of a sudden they don't work. If a driver is dependent on these safety features after driving for several years with having them on, a driver could potentially cause harm to themselves or others if these features are suddenly not functioning correctly. When I went to the dealer they said it wasn't covered under the car warranty. Car is only 2 years old and has under 60K miles.

On numerous occasions, while driving at various speeds, my Honda Accord collision avoidance system will apply the brakes for no reason. There was nothing ahead of me that should cause this to happen. Luckily, this has not happened when someone was closely following me. This has happened at least 10 times since I bought the car new in 2017. It happens when driving straight on a highway.

It's 2017 Honda Accord hybrid exl. I am driving in New York highway. I was driving about 40/45 mph in highway and all in sudden I saw a message in the dashboard is saying " break system problem" "lane departure system problem ", "automatic cruise control system problem" and "collusion migration system problem". I thought its maybe something that gonna go away after restarting the car. But it didn't. I went to the garage to see what is the problem then check on the machine and its showing error code: P258364 millimeter wave radar aiming error. And it does not clear. The problem still in the car.

Loud grinding noise coming from front wheels on 2017 Accord sport since almost new. Very noticeable at lower speeds. Honda dealer insisted grinding noise was from tire/rim combination and not items such as rotors, brakes, and/or wheel bearings, etc..

I purchased my vehicle brand new April 2017. I am hearing a grinding, scratching noise coming from the front tires at low speeds (20 mph). I have 24,000 miles on the car and have gone to my local Honda dealership to have every scheduled maintenance service. I'm not sure why my vehicle is having this loud grinding noise, especially when I have my windows down. The performance of my brakes are also not functioning properly because I can feel the grinding on the brake pedal and can hear the thumping noise when I am coming to a stop. I am concerned for my safety even more so now because I've noticed a lot of complaints about the same issue on this website.

On or about 6/10/19 while driving to work I noticed a noise coming from the rear of my car. The sound was like screeching nails on a chalkboard when the car is in motion at any speed without the brake pedal depressed. The sound would go away when I depressed the brake pedal. After I picked up my car on 6/15/19 from service, with only 18,119 miles, I was informed by my local Honda dealer that all the brake pads had seized and all brake caliper pins had frozen. The car has only been subject to normal driving. This is Honda case # 09629449.

When the vehicle is rolling in a slow manner. The tires/brakes/rotors make a rubbing sound. This seems to be a issue with this year of Accord. This car was just purchased over a month ago and it was not mentioned! this can be heard on a residential street. It has been taken in and was told it's the tires on this year of Honda..

While operating my vehicle, in motion, the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) light comes on frequently for no reason. This occurs while driving in both city street & highway driving as well. The cmbs system has also fully activated by itself a few times, for no apparent reason, resulting in the brakes locking up completely. This could have resulted in my being hit from behind as I have no control over the vehicle when this occurs. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer for this problem more than once, and was told that the system was operating normally. Apparently there is no fix for this problem. When the light comes on and the system activates I feel very unsafe operating the vehicle. The problem has been there since the vehicle was purchased new in July 2017. Date selected below is the first of many occurrences, to include just yesterday*
