The VSA modulator went out in the car making all lights on the dashboard flash and light up, and crashed the computer system for the car. The VSA modulator was not working due to an internal failure is all I was told. My VSA modulator went out while I was in Drive with the brake applied in the drive thru for food. This prevented the vehicle from being driven safely due to not knowing what was lit up on the dashboard, caused visual confusion and distraction while driving, and would cause a panic to a driver if the VSA modulator went out on them while they were driving. Plus the displays crashed, so there was no way or knowing your speed. The VSA modulator was replaced for nearly $1,500 from the Honda Dealership and there were no prior errors on this vehicle or part.
WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH WITH THE CRUISE SET I NOTICED THE VEHICLE START TO HEAVILY ACCELERATE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CRUISE OFF AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE DID NO STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN AND IT STARTED JERKING AS IF THE BRAKE AND GAS WERE BEING PRESSED AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR WAS TOWED VIA HONDA CARE.
