Consumer Description
Warning lights on dash (ABS, Brake, Steering, FCW, LDW, Slip/traction control) all came on at the same time, every time I started the car. Brought to Holler Honda Winter Park, FL and they diagnosed as having faulty VSA modulator-control unit. Part has not been available for over 2 years and don't know when will be available. Dangerous, but told fine to drive car just not to jam on brakes! Doesn't sound safe to me. NO stability control! Miraculously found Honda part at Honda dealer in NJ by searching online after Holler gave me part number. Paid over $900 to buy part/shipping. Brought to Holler to fix. Within 2 weeks had 2 VERY close calls where drivers cut right in front of me almost causing collision and causing me to have to jam on my brakes. BUT...FCW and ABS didn't work. FCW never alerted me to possible collision (used to work perfectly for over 7 years I've had the car) and ABS did not work (brakes locked up and I skidded but miraculously stopped in time). Brought back to Holler Honda and they plugged it in to computer and 1st told me that I had turned off the FCW (I wouldn't know how to do this even if it were possible), then when they could not show me how to turn it back on (because I don't have the ability to turn it off) they told me I must not have FCW (I do) and that the ABS was working just fine (it's not). After speaking with HONDA NA and sharing the info with them, they told me that I did in fact have FCW and that no one could find anything wrong with the car. I think I bought a bad "new" VSA mod. but since Honda refuses to issue a recall when I told them about the problem, I will never know and now can't do anything about it. I know I'm not the only one driving around with a potentially dangerous car because this repair cannot be done and there is an "indefinite, nation-wide waiting list" on the part (due to supply issues). Spent over $1400 to basically have all the warning lights turned off and the car NOT repaired.
