It shows a problem on booster control module first, and then ABS control module problem was followed in a month after fixing first one. I am second owner and bought it 2 years ago. There has not been problem at North Carolina, but after moving here peoria il where is colder in winter here 2 years ago, "checking brake system followed by checking ABS, power steering, ima etc" about 5 checking signs showed on the panel. The mechanic said it was booster control module problem. After he replacing it, there was no problem for a week. And then when I drive slippery ground surface in a rain, and slipped a little, the same symptom with continuous working moter on ABS assembly showed off. Even when the key out, the moter was still working so that there is no electrical power left due to discharging in the morning. The mechanic said that it is ABS control module problem so that he is fixing it now.

We where rear ended on the 805 South at E St in san diego ca. The traffic came to a complete stop and a older Ford Expedition plowed into us at 55 mph, upon impact the Honda accelerated full throttle with complete loss of brakes, my wife was driving I was front passenger and my handicapped son was R/R, she was able to steer the car to the right shoulder as I slammed the car into park and turned the ignition off at about 40 mph, it took about 100 yards before it came to a stop, the car is at tipton Honda in el cajon and they say that there is no evidence or computer fault code of said problem, how do I put my family back into the car and feel completely safe knowing it might happen again.
