This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
vsa modulator in the honda accords go bad, SPECIALLY the 2013-2017 Model Years. There are so many bulltins etc on the internet if you look it up youd see, millions of people are having the same issue. This affets braking & traction. Traction control is no longer useable and the ABS System does not work since this is all apart of the ABS system. search honda accord vsa modulator recall 2016 honda accord you will see tons and tons of complains about the same part. Honda knows and it seems as if they dont want to recall this. This is clearly a defect. I am unable to pass safety inspection in my state the last two years due to this issue. There is also none of these VSA modules in the States. ive asked time and time again and they dont have a n ETA. This is a HUGE safety concern as it affects braking and traction control. I also reached out to honda corporate as well as other people who have this issue. this issue has been reported to the NHTSA several times as well. this should NOT be happening. this is affecting millions of people and osmething needs to be done about it.
VSA ABS Module on 2016 Accord, throws all sorts of codes and millions of people are having the same ISSUE around the same time & milage, ranges from 2013-2017 Honda Accord. Can cause loss of traction, brake assisast. I've tried to have this repaird and there is also none anywhere to buy and honda doesnt want to issue a recall. THIS should be investiagted and honda be held accounatable.
In May 2023, a local Honda dealership confirmed a VSA Solenoid Malfunction in my 2016 Honda Accord Sport. All ABS, steering, traction, and brake lights are on in the car. Part is currently on backorder - due to timing, the warranty is expired (2k miles over coverage) and no longer covers issues like this. Don't feel safe driving car while lights are on.
On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, my wife was parking her car in the parking lot of a TJ Maxx, 4220 Summer Ave, Memphis, TN 38122. As she turned right into the parking space, at a very low rate of speed, 1-2 mph, the engine revved and launched her into another parked vehicle. Once the engine revved and launched she had both feet on the brake pedal. It did light damage to the vehicle she hit and moderate damage to her 2016 Honda Accord Coupe. The impact was hard enough to deploy the driver side airbag. No one was in the other vehicle and she did not sustain serious injury. The car was towed to a body shop. The other vehicle was drivable and insurances were exchanged.
While driving the car doing 40mph with foot on gas it slammed into a screeching stop all by itself! While still in drive!! No foot on the brake! So scary!! No indicator lights came on.
Vehicle pulls to the right randomly, sometimes hard, sometimes gently. Vehicle will also pull harder right when braking randomly. Sometimes vehicle will pull left when braking. Dealer has aligned the vehicle 3 times in a month no change. Still having same issue. Dealer tried to blame the brand new Michelin tires. I know there are steering issues with 2013-2015 Accords please consider adding 2016 Accords to this also. They also checked the brakes and suspension and say all that is good. I know I am not the only 2016 Accord owner complaining about this issue. Accord forums confirm this. Please investigate this. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. While driving 40 mph, the brake pedal was applied; however, the vehicle spontaneously accelerated and shook. The vehicle was shut off and restarted. There was an abnormal rumbling noise emerging from the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called lucas Honda of jacksonville (7801 blanding blvd, jacksonville, fl 32244, (904) 269-2277), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 29,500. The VIN was unknown.
I was driving on 35-38 mph in a 35mph zone. The road was curving in the form of a C and my tires started to skid. Once I applied brakes and I couldn't feel anything braking and once again applied, the car turned 90 degree, straightened out on the road but not completely meaning the car was still going forward in the direction on the road but a 30 degree angle. I couldn't control steering or brakes and hit a fire hydrant at the end. I asked the insurance company to contact Honda for details know the different control units and reading but they didn't want to go that route. Now my insurance rate is up and I have 2 points since the cops didn't believe it could have been the cars fault.
Led drl have both went bad, for no reason, worked one day didnt the next day thry were covered by thd 36K warranty, however, they have not fixed the underlying issue and once out of warranty, they are $1300 each! brakes have been resurfaced, front and rear. The car had 70 miles, a xealer traded it anx it sat on the lot for months, perhaps thd rust created pitting(davis Honda should have replaced the rotors, nog cut them at 5K then 10K. Current mileage is 16,800. Oh, and the paint chips/road rash is insane. The clear coat will be gone by 100K.
When traveling down a road straight about 45 mph the automatic braking system flashed 'brake' on the cluster and then the the car came to a stop when there was nothing in front of me that I could see. Car has 16000 miles on it and this has never happened before. The car behind me had enough room to stop in time. Took it to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong but a dirty camera code set.
When turning the wheel, squeaking coming from brakes. Had brakes checked, and there is no wear which requires brake replacement. This is a known issue of the tab getting off it's resting place and causing an erroneous squeaking. Everytime we ask the dealer about it, they say they cannot replicate. When you do a simple google search, the issue is documented all over the place. Thus, Honda is aware and is not addressing this issue.

Months ago I was in a car accident because an air bag error popped up on my screen and by the time I looked up I hit another vehicle. There is always something wrong with this car and I haven't even had it for a full 3 years
My husband was driving, I was in the passenger seat on a clear day, full visibility, there was a car several car lengths ahead of us turning right. It cleared the way without us needing to break. We were traveling about 40 mph at around 2pm. Our vehicle thought there was still a hazard in the road. We have a sensing package in the vehicle, which caused our car to come to a full and complete stop, engaging the seat belts as well. We have full video evidence of the incident from a third party dash cam. We were almost hit from behind. We took the vehicle to the dealership thinking there was something wrong with it, it was returned, saying that the car worked as intended. Having been in the vehicle at the time, and I disagree, and am now extremely afraid to drive my car. While I have no pictures, I have full video of the incident, and will gladly provide it upon request.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. While backing out of a parking space at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated on its own. The brake pedal was applied and failed.

The vehicle was towed to a towing yard. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 8,768.
