NHTSA complaint #11362054, filed 2020-09, 550 miles“Abs and vsa lights came on. Took the vehicle to dealer and was told the ABS modulator needed replacing. My cost would be $2450.00. Since this component controls brakes and stability it seems to me to be a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10762672, filed 2015-09, 114,000 miles“When driving the brakes will seize up especially in the winter followed by a grinding sound. It did it twice yesterday(12/19/2020)while driving in the snow and the car will often slide making it difficult to stop. I have complained about this several times before on several occasions and once was told my brake like is probably frozen. The car dealership even took the converter heat shield off as it was dented and they thought that might be the issue. It is a scary situation when your brakes don't work good and you can't stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #11384231, filed 2020-12, 122,191 miles“I rear-ended into another vehicle, even though I saw it and used the brake (full strength) from a reasonable distance. The brake was not working effectively. Damaged body parts were replaced in may. I had a Honda dealer to check my brake in the annual inspection, but was told nothing was wrong from their perspective.”
NHTSA complaint #10304683, filed 2010-02, 16,000 miles“I own a 2006 crv with under 33000 miles, I take very good care of this vehicle as I'm the original owner. So all of a sudden while driving on the highway my vsa, ABS, engine, tps (triangle explanation point symbol) and brake light come on. I take it to the dealer and I'm told the vsa module needs replacing! Costing $2400. Wow! That's expensive. I think this part should be investigated considering the severity! This part is vital and how has $2400 burning a whole in there pocket? Please help! This is so frustrating!”
