What owners say about the service brakes

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“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. It’s unbelievable that this has been a known issue with Honda’s VSA/ABS modules, and nothing can be done because the cars regular brakes can still be used. This issue directly affects almost every safety function this car came with. Everything is disabled. It’s really unfortunate that this known issue can be labeled as normal wear.”

“The Power Steering Light, Traction Light, ABS Light, and Brake Light all came on and would stay on leading me to check the code which was a 121-11 which seems to be a very common issue with the 9th generation Honda Accord.”

“The abs module failed. It is designed to fail as the wires are super thin. Repair quote was $4,000. The part, I’m sure, is then sent out and fixed cheaply then resold for a premium.”

“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.”

“ABS Modulator Assembly has left me stranded I see that this has been a major issue for Honda's. There has not been any recalls for this issue but they see that it is a major problem. I was told by King Honda in Auburn Alabama that this is a $2000 dollar issue and they do not know when the part will be available due to being on backorder. Please advise.”
