Couldn't get traction on light snow-covered road. vsa light was flashing and my car wasn't responding to brake to vsa. i applied my brakes to slow down (to no avail). now my car is out of control and proceeding down a slight incline to a stop sign...picking up speed along the way.my brakes are "to the floor" the whole time as i slide through intersection i have my steering wheel turned right. the front passenger side ended up crashing into a street sign & telephone pole. i was told by police that a car that swerved to avoid me made contact with my rear fender and my car then spun right into the poles. also, neither front air bags deployed upon impact
Electronic stability sensor comes on, vehicle shuts off/loses power while driving. once off, there's a period of about 10 seconds before it can come back on.
Well before honda cars was my top pryority cars. but unfortunatlly 5 month ago i bought a car in a diller call apex in fremont ca . and after the first week using the car the check engine light came on & 45 minutes later another 2 lights came on total 3 lights came on my car (check engine light ) ( vsa ) & last one is a triangle signal with this letter inside /!\ i took the car to the diller already about 5 times & the problem steel on my car after that i took it to the honda diller and they charge me $ 180.00 to fix me the problem they promess me the car was fixed & 30 days later lights came back againg i took it back to the honda diller because they said if the problem came back they supost to fix me the car for free and unfortunatly they charge me $ 375.00 for labor and $ 185.00 for the part but another 3 weeks later the problem with the lights came back againg and the worst thing is the car is no't available to drive because when that lights are on the car doesn't run faster than 30 milles for hourly. & honestly i m tired already because i steel have to pay arround $ 11.000 for the car to the diller because i m steel working my credit and if they can not fix the problem because i pay alot of money already trying to fix i m very disapoint. & because if i go to the honda diller they go to charge me another may be $500.00 o more. thank s for the oportunity for letting me writte this message here.
I was driving my 2009 accord on my snow covered street and the vehicle stability (vsa) light flashed on, as it should, when the vehicle loses traction. however, the light stayed on and the abs and brake lights both appeared as well and all 3 stayed lit. at first, i thought they would reset, but after a few days, they did not. the vsa and anti-lock brake functions were no longer working. my car was brought to a local dealership where they performed a diagnostic test and based on the computer codes, determined that the abs modulator needed to be replaced. the cost for this repair was over $1300! at that time, i decided not to complete the repair because i wanted to call american honda to see if they could provide a discount for this very important and expensive safety component. after more than a week, they did finally offer a discount and the repair was completed for $800. my research has indicated that this part has had a history of problems in some honda vehicles manufactured around 2009. the abs modulator should not have failed on my honda accord with such low mileage. i believe that it must have been a manufacturing defect with 2009 honda vehicles. *tr
Engine light and vsa warning light came on while driving on the freeway. luckily my family reached our destination shortly after this occurred in fontana, ca. while the vehicle was in motion it would jerk and hesitate backwards while driving. i took it to rock honda the following morning on 10/18/2013 in fontana, ca and they charged me 638.60 stating the vehicle needed a pcm updated software and adjusted valves. in doing further research it seems i should have never been charged this as there is a recall id #74308 stating issues with the pcm and tcm and that honda would update the control module software free of charge. *tr

2009 honda accord ex v6 has numerous problems at 130k...most originating at 70-90k. excessive oil consumption (1 qt a week)! rough idle and acceleration, 6 lights lit up on dash, including check engine...comes on and off intermittently.....fouled spark plugs, ticking noise coming from steering wheel when turning, brakes must be replaced every 10k miles, loud ticking noise from engine, poor acceleration with missing/sputtering, smoke emits from tailpipes, vsc light stays on along with tpms! the list goes on and on...i have been loyal to honda since 1993 having owned many, especially accords and this one takes the cake....the worst vehicle ever owned! do not buy honda...they do not care about you and never will! i missed the class action lawsuit by a couple of months on the engine misfire deal...just recently was made aware of it. never again honda!!!!
Premature brake wear on 2009 honda accord v6. brakes have squealed every time vehicle is driven (since about 5k miles). on 3/20/10 after routine service, i was told vehicle needed rear brakes (disks) at 19,203 k miles. i subsequently did checking on edmunds.com and it appears this is not an isolated incident. also, i visited an acura dealer's service center to see if the acura tsx had similar issues - it does.
