NHTSA Complaint #11548556 — 2013 HONDA ACCORD

Honda Service has reported I need a VSA Modulator Assembly replaced and they want me to order this part now which is on backorder for at least 2-3 months. Car had 87,000 miles at time of inspection. I have tried to source this assembly from various Honda dealers and parts distributors to no avail. Cost will be $2,800 to replace. There are many other Honda owners experiencing this same problem but Honda will not cover the costs and seem to have no way to expedite the parts. They have started a VSA recall in newer Honda models on a limited basis. The VSA modulator is a safety feature on the car and I notice a difference in the stability and braking of the car. I am sure if I have an accident, the fact that the lights are on the dashboard will negate my insurance coverage if it can be related specifically to the VSA modulator. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE Why are so many owners affected by this and yet Honda is getting away with it. This Honda is no where near the quality of my first Honda Accord in 1999.
