All the lights are basically on the 2013 Honda Accord ex which includes the brake, ABS, tps. I noticed that even when I have not pressed the brakes, the brakes are applied by the car. Expecially in low/idle speeds. This results in me habving to press the gas pedal and results in a rough ride. I took the car into the dealer today 4/1/2021. Dealer states the car has a faulty vsa modulator and quoted $1400 for the part (57110-T2fa17) and $510 for the labor. Also said the they need to bleed the brake fluid and replace it. And this same part was replaced back on 11/5/2014. This car is not part of any active recall, but the vsa modulator has now failed twice. The car was purchased brand new 4/20/2013. Searching online shows Honda recalled several other models and years for the vsa modulator. I have attached some of other recalls that affected the vsa modulator

Vehicle stability assist is de-activated due to dtc 85-01 signal failure indicated in electronic power steering module. Because of this, anti-lock brakes are not functional. Ordered replacement vsa modulator through local repair shop first week in Aug 11, 2020, but Honda America estimates ship date of Dec 21, 2020 (19 weeks)! they ship thousands of new cars every week with new vsa modulators, meanwhile I have to drive my car with the critical safety equipment deactivated!

Took the car to a certified mechanic with 18 certs. The brake lines, fluid, rotors, fluid were perfect. No leaks, the message is still up.he cannot pull up any codes. I am taking a screenshot of this statement with todays front page paper indicating the date I am sending this to you.

Car stalls going thru intersections which I complained about when I bought it in ft.myers in 2013. I have paperwork that says nothing is wrong with it however, this has happened numerous times over the years. So far, I am lucky not to be hit! brakes locked up while driving on 7/15/19, I started to turn into a driveway and the brakes locked and I had to veer onto their lawn on an embankment, ran over a cement parking block and throw it into park and turn it off in order to stop the car from hitting anyone! the car was towed from prospect ave and brady street in milwaukee wi. Russ darrow Honda ran a safety check and said it was fine. I think they should check the vsa modulator. Abra auto repair in glendale had it towed and said they couldn't duplicate it and sent it to russ darrow Honda. Clearly, something is wrong with it! I have a fl drivers license and I am in wi now for the summer, which is where this happened. I have pictures but I don't know how to upload them to your site?

In early 2019, after my Honda dealer replaced my vehicle's water pump, I began experiencing problems with the push button start feature on my 2013 Honda Accord. Sometimes, my car starts right away. But more often, it takes several attempts before my car will start using the push button start feature. When repeated attempts are necessary to start my car, I hear a 'clicking' type noise when I press the start button, but my car does not turn over. After several attempts pushing the 'start' button, my car eventually starts (sometimes after a few seconds and a few attempts, sometimes after many attempts and two or three minutes). The problem occurs randomly, when the car is cold and warm. I never experienced this problem until Honda replaced the water pump on my car earlier this year. Based on other web posts, this sounds like a common problem with the push button start feature in 2013 Honda Accord. Once my car starts, it runs well. At this present time, I have no other mechanical problems other than the push button start feature. However, my car's failure to start is a safety issue in itself if a car fails to start in a situation where a quick get away is necessary (for example, flood, wild fire, or other natural or other disaster that may require that my car start without delay).

I had pulled into a parking stop and stopped. I was about to reverse to park straight when my car shot forward. The brakes were not working and the car accelerated forward until it was stopped by a brick column. I was in a parking lot in front of a retail strip center.

Car was in drive of home, started car and all warning lights stayed on. Would not clear. Drove vehicle to dealership, brakes were barley operable, car was sluggish and power steering almost non-existent. Could have been very dangerous had this happened on the freeway. Dealership first replaced the battery, clearing the codes for a few minutes, the next day they are replacing a bad vsa module that control the ABS and other safety functions of the car. The Accord only has 67K miles and these sensors are 1700 plus dollars. Researching, I have found a great deal of these failing -usually when the Honda is in motion. I was fortunate mine was stationary at the time.

While parking, but stopped, the car sped out of control. Foot brake and hand brake failed to stop the speeding car. It leaped over a curb and into a retention pond. The doors refused to unlock. Driver and passenger escaped thru windows and onto the roof. Previously, the unattended car had locked itself and windows and sunroof had opened on several occasions the two fobs were on cup hooks in the house. Honda shows no interest.

Since purchased new in 2013 the brakes make a loud roaring sound when applied at high speeds ( 55- 70) mph. The faster that you're driving when brakes are applied, the louder the roar. Roar happens every time that brakes are applied.

- Newport News, VA, USA

There's a lot of vibration when braking especially on the highway. Also there is a leak on the passenger side door. When driving on the freeway, you can hear the wind like it's not completely sealed.

I've been experiencing problems with my brakes after purchasing this vehicle. There are 35,000 miles on the car, and this is my 3rd set of brakes, and second set of rotors to be replaced. I've brought it into the dealership to have the issue looked at, but they couldn't find any problems. I brought it into a local automotive center for a second look, as the brakes were grinding, and felt like wobbling when slowing. They replaced the brakes and the drivers side front rotor. There was a little wobbling and squealing after the repair, but the grinding stopped. I brought it up to the mechanic, and he said it was expected from new brakes. I brought it into the dealership 6 months later because the wobbling started getting worse, and the grinding started again. This time, the brakes were worn completely on both sides in the front, and the rotors were gouged.
