“Abs light continues to stay on no matter what I do. Brakes feel hesitant. Brake pads are fine, brake fluid level is fine. This same problem has occurred to a lot of people and all Honda motor company keeps doing is ducking and dodging and its time for the proper authorities to do something. I feel ripped off.”
NHTSA complaint #10018458, filed 2003-05, 147,215 miles“Abs brake light stays on. Problem had been fixed (seal replacement) a couple of years ago, 9-10-99 to be exact, but about a year after that reoccured. Since then I have filled the ABS reservoir each time the light came on and then the problem went away. Now that does not help anymore either. This seems to be a known and dangerous problem with this model and I thought at least that they would have fixed it the first time this problem came up.”
NHTSA complaint #10025768, filed 2003-07, 53,715 miles“Abs light came on while attempting to stop vehicle at a stop sign. The vehicle failed to stop, sponginess occurred when applying brakes, then failure. Car went thru intersection before driver was able to apply emergency brake to stop vehicle. Dealer mechanic noticed slow leak ABS modulator/accumulator system, and recommended replacement. Abs unit replaced at 71,035 miles. 8/2010. Cost for repairs $1600, must replace both as 1 unit, despite no failure with accumulator. …”
NHTSA complaint #10873768, filed 2016-06, 71,035 miles“Abs system failed. It will cost 1800.00 to repair. I have noticed that this is a common occurance with this vehicle. Also the fuel gauge does not work, and the car jumps while driving over 65 MPH.”
NHTSA complaint #10073190, filed 2004-05, 100,000 miles“Vehicle ABS started making noise around 90,000 miles and was slowly losing fluid. Light came on permanantly at 100,000 miles and ABS malfunctioned. American Honda is aware of the problem. Tsb 96-05 was issued. Dealer stated it was a common problem and the modulater costs is approx. $1,100. No recall was issued knowing the plugs on the ABS modulator were not properly tightened when the vehicle was shipped from the factory. This caused a leak of brake fluid from the system, which appears to have subsequently caused damage to the master cylinder pressure in the main braking system. …”
