Consumer Description

1. VSA Modulator: VSA ABS Brake Control Module and is still in my car 2. Flashing lights distracting when driving and no replacements available per dealer (see below). Concern if problem causes Break system degradation or failure. 3. I have the service record from Performance Kings Honda, Cincinnati, OH 513-774-6013 with detailed notes below INv # 1146638 4. No, part is still installed in my vehicle so I can drive it 5. LDW, FDW, ABS, TPS (tire), Power Steering, etc. appeared without symptoms/warning in Summer 2023. All of a sudden, many of the lights on the dashboard lit up. LDW, FDW, ABS, TPS (tire), Power Steering, and maybe another one or two. Mechanic recommended changing the battery. After the battery was replaced, the lights should have reset automatically. When they didn't reset as expected, the mechanic tried to diagnose the issue and found no mechanical issues and didn't get a code from the scanner he had. After 6 months, I took the car to the Honda Dealer who diagnosed the issue:"Diag-Electrical - Found DTC-66-113 Pressure Sensor Malfunction Recommend Replace VSA Modulator. Dealer says the part is not available and there is no expectation of the part being restocked in the future "Galactic Back-order". Cost of $168 to diagnose the problem. This part is not available for sale any where on the internet, but could be remanufactured by vendors on eBay and Amazon ( safety problem #1). Reviewed many postings across the internet from owners of Honda Accord 2014 and many other models and years. The warning lights being on and flashing constantly is very distracting and the Error messages replace 2 of the functions on my odometer display. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle should the problem deteriorate further and various systems fail. The part is still in my car at this point and is available for inspection. This issue should be reported to Honda and covered by a recall.
