2013 Honda Civic Electronic stability control Problems

“I was driving 5 minutes away from my home around a 30 mile an hour gradual bend. I suddenly had no power steering losing control momentarily ,I slowed down immediately trying to regain control of the vehicle while just missing going into the woods and almost creating an accident behind me. …”

“My ABS, vsa and power steering lights all came on at the same time. Honda dealer told me it costs $1,600 to 'replace' ABS control module which is obscene as this is clearly a safety issue, and he didn't even mention a fix for vsa or power steering. I tested a hard brake and ABS failed. What if my power steering fails during a turn and I hit someone? Honda service tech said scans could not indicate a fix. Google / you tube search shows this is a chronic problem with Honda Civic and acords. A simple fuse may need to be replaced. …”

“I have noticed that my Honda Civic sometimes feels as if you were driving standard. You press on the gas peddal and it hesistates to go and then goes immediately which makes it feel as if you are shifting gears. (used to drive standard). It does this all the time. I noticed that it does it more often when the econ button is on and less when the econ button is off but it does do it all the time. It does this while driving on regular streets and on highways. The car shakes a lot when the AC is on. You turn the AC off and it stops shaking. …”

“For the second time in as many months, I have been driving my car when suddenly the vsa warming light has come on, followed by the transmission fluid warning light. The first time this occurred, I pulled into the parking lot of my apartment complex and checked the owners manual for my Civic for any information. It suggested that I wait several minutes and the restart the car. I waited for 10 minutes and restarted my car. Both lights had gone out and I was able to get to the local carmax dealer, where I'd purchased this car. …”

“Abs, traction control light, & power steering lights illuminated at the same time and can not be reset. The vehicle's traction control and ABS systems are not engaged when these lights are present, thus causing a safety hazard. These lights first appeared while backing out of driveway on dry/sunny day. These lights have remained on since, and will not go off even after ecu reset.”
