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. …
In my 2015 Honda Accord. The ABS, adaptive cruise control, vehicle stability assist, power steering, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, traction control, hill start assist, and brake system dash lights have all been intermittently coming on and off starting right around 150k miles. Now all of the lights have been on for some time now. I spoke to AutoNation Honda and Chapman Honda here in Tucson and both dealerships said it was a known VSA module issue with Honda. One quoted a $3,700 fix while the other estimated the job to be about $3,800. Technicians at AutoNation Honda confirmed that my Accord has the 32-11 ABS Solenoid Valve Malfunction, and the 85-01 VSA Module Malfunction codes that are directly related to the weak solder used by Honda on these modules. …
Upon starting the car (54,000 miles) the ABS Light, Steering light, FCW, LDW, Brake light came on. After looking in the manual it was determine that the car was dangerous to drive. I did not experience anything indicating an issue with the car before this happened. I took it to Scott Clark Honda right away. The dealer preformed a diagnostic test which showed the Anti lock braking system Solenoid Value was Malfunctioning, the Electric Power Steering was experiencing a problem in the "VSA" System, the Forward Collision warning, and Lane Departure warning were showing a "VSA" Brake Actuator Malfunction. The car was underivable without getting this repaired. Because the VSA Solenoids are built inside the ABS Modulator they can not be replaces separately. The cost to repair this $2764 the part cannot be replace without a $150 Brake Fluid exchange. The initial Diagnostic fee was $30. …
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. …
The ABS Light, steering light, FCW, LDW, and brake light came on. I did not experience anything indicating an issue with the car before this happened. I took my car to Open Road Honda in Edison, NJ. The dealer performed a diagnostic test which showed the module(solenoid) had fried. This resulted in the "VSA" System warning lights to appear (ABS Light, steering light, FCW, LDW, and brake warning lights to show). The car is pretty much undriveable without getting this repaired. Because the VSA Solenoids are built inside the ABS Modulator, they can not be replaced separately. The cost to repair this, $3800 with an initial Diagnostic fee was $250. There are multiple complaints I found in YouTube, Reddit, and other blogs stating the same issue even for cars under 100k miles. If possible, please issue a recall on this part since this impacts all Honda Accords from 2013-2017.
While driving my FCW lights came and said failure. I took my car to an independent service center and they confirmed that many Hondas with the same year have had this same problem. Told me that he wouldn't even be able to repair because the part needed to fix the light from coming on was unavailable all across the world. So many Hondas have had this same issue and needed to repair this issue that it's unavailable. I had the car less than one year after I bought it used with less than 95,000 miles. I've owned 5 other Honda accords that would go forever and have 200,000+ miles without any issues. I've already had to place my alternator 5 times and starter as well.
1. POWER STEERING RACK 2. ABS MODULATOR My 2015 Honda Accord experienced a sudden failure of both the ABS system and power steering rack. The dealership confirmed the failure was not due to neglect or wear. Due to the safety risk the repair estimate exceeding $14,000 for the safety system and regular repairs, I was forced to trade in the vehicle. Honda denied goodwill assistance on the safety systems (power steering rack & ABS modulator) November 17, 2025 saying vehicle is out of warranty and cited value and year of the vehicle. I was the only owner of vehicle and only serviced at Balise Honda of West Warwick and/or Johnston RI.
