All Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking Complaints
On June 9, 2025, my 2016 Honda Accord’s driver seatbelt detached and yanked my body with excessive force during a collision, it felt like not lifted me up to the roof The seatbelt’s jerking motion was so odd and intense causing serious injuries including a ruptured breast implant, nerve damage, and cervical spine trauma. The airbags failed to deploy despite a front and side impact. Immediately afterward, both seatbelt and airbag warning lights illuminated. The car has been in repair storage (Kia Willowbrook Ford) since June 16, 2025, without explanation or safety findings from Honda. Honda said the seatbelt sensor is backorder but no one can give me an ETA and I need a vehiclethat is safe. The part has been on backorder for close to 5 months!! This is a critical safety failure, and I am requesting federal investigation into possible seatbelt or airbag defects associated with this VIN.,
I have been having issues with my Honda Accord with the electrical system. Over the past couple of years I have had to take my car to get serviced for the battery, alternator and other electrical issues. Several times I had to take my car to get checked because the ABS, power steering, traction control and brake lights intermittently light up at the same time. I was told it was a battery issue but now years later I am being told it is the VSA modulator. I am frustrated because the Honda dealership i have taken it to has failed to identify this issue when it has been repeatedly occurring and now that my warranty is expired now it is being explained that I have to fix this out of my pocket.
ABS Module went out on my vehicle while on the highway. Three lights came on, as shown in attached photo. Vehicle brake system began acting up in the moment. This is a very common issue on 2013-2017 Honda accords from all mileage amounts. They are all still on and while I can drive the vehicle, if there are any instances where I need to brake suddenly, myself and the people around me will probably end up in a dangerous collision. The Honda dealership has quoted me $2,600 to fix this with no additional information. Thousands of other drivers are experiencing the same issue. Shame on Honda for not allowing a recall on this.
ABS module is defective after 7 years, there have been many reports and very expensive to fix, why hasn’t Honda made this a recall?
There were emergency lights on dashboard all of a sudden for Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Brakes, Collision Warning and lane departure warning. These functions aren’t functioning all of a sudden and claims to need attention although the car is only 6 years old
Bad ABS module. Code 122-11 solenoid valve malfunction code. Brake, traction control, power steering, ABS lights on
The ADAS features of my vehicle have been intermittently functional due to a single camera component failing. This has cause unpredictable braking behavior when the car is driven, as the car's emergency braking function abruptly slow the vehicle on some occasions, but not brake the vehicle on other outings. Additionally, the component failure has caused several dependent MILs to illuminate most times the vehicle is driven, usurping other important MIL notifications such as unrelated component failures and maintenance alerts. The ADAS MIL alerts were not present before the component failure. These issues first started 15 months ago, but I've been informed that the necessary replacement component (multipurpose camera) has been backordered the entire time.
I WAS DRIVING APPROX 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE HWY WHEN I ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CAR BEGAN BRAKING. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE INTERSTATE. ONLY AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING WAS I ABLE TO DRIVE.
WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY ON A TRIP TO HER RELATIVES HOUSE, OUT 2016 HONDA ACCORD TOURING MODEL'S AUTOMATIC BRAKING WARNING LIGHT AND ASSOCIATED APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES CAME ON AT LEAST 4 TIMES WITHIN A 9 MILE DRIVE. EACH TIME THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OBSTACLES NEAR THE CAR. I PLAN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER THIS WEEK. I HAVE READ DOZENS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE HONDA COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM. I THINK A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE MAY BE NECESSARY.
