What owners say about the service brakes

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“I was driving and the skid, brake, ABS and steering light came on. I was with my kids so I immediately slowed down and contacted my mechanic. We initially thought it would be a sensor. After hooking it up, it was detected to be the ABS Brake module. After further research this is a “normal” issue. A new module is expensive $2500 with the dealer and is on back order for 3 months. We have shipped the module to CA (I’m in TN) to get it “repaired”. I have been without a car for 3weeks and still waiting. This is insane and should be recalled. I hope the “repair” fixes the issue.”

“The ABS is malfunctioning. It comes in and off. When the warning lights are on the Abs system is not working. It pops off which means it is working at that time.”

“I recently came up with 121-11 is a VSA/ABS Solenoid issue. This was provided by Honda Technician. Dealer wants me to change the whole module causing a cost over $3,000. Yet, Honda does not offer any repairs of the solenoid. Honda's are particularly prone to this type of fault. While we do our part and maintain the car with great care, it is unacceptable and unsafe that Honda will not be addressing this.”
