Winter 2022 The problem occurred after icy conditions in Texas and ABS, traction control and steering system lights came on in my Gage cluster, since then i have tried many things to fix the issue went as far as replacing the knuckle full assembly with abs speed sensor. Later I search across the internet of honda owners and noticed its a common issue and a very expensive 1, my local honda quoted $2800 for the part. My safety has been compromised on many occasions including brakes locking during wet conditions, my car slipped out of control because of the lack of traction control nearly causing a bad accident. I have been driving extremely cautiously, and during wet conditions driving my other vehicle. Due to the abs/vsa module malfunction there are so many components attached to the system Including tpms, srs, steering system, and including but not limited to ABS, currently all these lights are on in my dashboard please investigate this common issue that many honda owners experienced and after further research many youtubers opened module to discover a lot of circuit to selinoid issues, Please help us make Honda accountable for there mistakes and faulty parts that are so expensive and cheaply made, that may or have caused so many Americans hardship and financial repercussions. I shall be very tahnkful.

Issue where multiple dashboard indicator lights coming on. Tire Pressure, ABS, Power Steering, and Traction Control lights specifically all on at the same time. Car typically drives fine but will intermittently not want to accelerate and/or brakes are trying to apply themselves while trying to accelerate. This is a dangerous safety issue as I could be driving on the highway the car all of sudden would not continue accelerating. Short term Workaround is turning Traction Control off but does not last. In general issue seems to be electrical. Could be battery, ABS Module needing a reset to neutral, wheel speed sensors are bad, PCM Module faulty, fuel pump failing, VSA issue or needing a reset, faulty wiring, or a combination of all of these mentioned. I took to a Honda dealership (Mall of GA) and they could not resolve the issue and recommended a VSA Module replacement which is a $2000+ repair. This issue came up for me in mid-July 2023 and as of this post is still an issue. This should be recall as I keep seeing complaints about this online in various forums for 2012-2017 Honda Accords.

Driving at Interstate speeds, I had the engine suddenly **THUNK** and lose power. I limped it to the side of the road to get out of traffic. I went to investigate and the vehicle would not even idle. It just shut off After having it towed back to local service company, looked at, and the dealership I bought it at to look at, I am told the main bearing failed on the connecting rod. The thunks I hear is the rod spinning in there, shearing off metal shavings that are now all over inside the engine bay. Honda has a TSB out for the car, for this exact issue, but my VIN number somehow doesn't fit in their window. Component that failed - Main bearing on the Connecting Rod Safety of myself and others - Gave out while driving highway speeds, which caused the car to lose power to keep it at highway speeds. Had to limp it to the shoulder Reproduction of problem - Yes, at an independent service center and a dealership service center Component inspected - not by any of the listed people, just the service centers Warning lamps, messages, symptoms - None whatsoever I have amazon receipts of items purchased for all at home maintenance done on the vehicle since it was bought new. I do not have a scanner handy for the service center documentation and receipts

After exiting a drive-thru car wash, drove through the parking lot and stopped behind a car exiting via a driveway onto main street. While I applied brake the engine began to race up to 5000 RPM. I was unable to keep the car from creeping forward with major force on the brakes. I moved the shift lever to N and pressed the start/stop button, shutting down the engine to avoid collision with the car in front of me. After the car in front of me exited, I re-started the car and everything appeared normal. Have not had a recurrence of the problem. Have not taken the car to the dealer yet because I'm not sure that I trust them. Similar previous complaints: 11331361, 11235107, 11142830, 11121723, 11119028, 11062545, 10948426 & 10860066. Seems to be a serious recurring safety issue.

I was about to park my 2015 Honda Accord LX in a parking spot in parking lot in front of a shopping centre. The car was cruising at 2-3 miles per hour at this time. There was a sudden and rapid acceleration which was highly disproportionate to the slow speed while I was entering the parking spot. I applied the brakes but it didn't help stop or slow down the vehicle. The car moved forward with the same rapid acceleration in the empty parking spot in front and started moving towards the next parking row in front. I swung the car to the right on to the road between the two parking rows in order to avoid collision with the cars in the next row. The car was still moving with rapid acceleration. I tried applying brakes hard but the car wouldn't slow down or stop. I brushed the bumper of another car in the process. I finally hit another car parked near a curb at the end of the parking lot. The impact was so high that the other car swung 90 degrees. My car stopped after getting stuck on the curb and wedged against the other car. The airbags exploded due to the huge impact. I survived the accident with bruises and bumps on my hands, knees, and feet. Fortunately, no other person in the parking lot was injured in the accident. Accident date and time: June 25, 2020 5:15 pm eastern. Location: Parking lot of North town plaza, 2856 dekalb pike, norristown, pa police report # East norriton, pa township, report number # 2020-0638219401 the car has been towed to the following location by police with my consent: Centersquaremotors 911 dekalb pike blue bell, pa 19422 (610) 277 2929 insurer: State farm

Bought the car brand new back in July 2015. On 10/16/2016 I took the car on I-66 and at about 80 mpl the car started jerking and knocking. Engine runs fine at idle but knocks even at a speed < 20 mph. Had the car towed to nearest Honda dealership and waiting to hear from them. It has about 11K miles on it. Can see a safety recall on 2015 Honda Accord with similar symptoms.

I bought a new Honda Accord about 7 months ago. I noticed after driving it a month or more that every long once in a while it was showing me a defect known as "unintended acceleration". I took it in to the dealer and after they examined it, put it on the computer machine and test drove it a few miles, they found it to be perfect, nothing wrong with it. I took it back and continued driving it thinking that perhaps I did something that caused it.as I continued on with it, I pulled into my handicap space at my parking lot. Front end up to a concrete bunker with the handicap sign standing tall in front. I was about to put the car in park and shut the key off, when suddenly while my feet were off the pedals the car zoomed up to 40 mph, I turned the wheel left to try and avoid the sign after it hit the bunker and as it sped into the next parking lane I braked and shifted to neutral.luckily there was no traffic in the second lane or I would have killed somebody as well as myself.I took it to two more dealers with a damaged passenger fender and they all said after looking and testing again that there is nothing wrong with the car. The last dealer brought a Honda expert mechanic in from the manufacturer and he too said nothing's wrong. Without evidence they can do nothing for me.if we can't find the trouble you say is there, we can't accomodate you. I said, so your sending me home now to get killed?sorry but there's no proof. I called Honda manufacturer and they would do nothing.
