2007 Honda Element Electronic stability control Problems

“The Honda Element has a recall for a soft, spongy brake pedal that has to be pushed to the floor to get the brakes to engage. There is a recall for this symptom, related to the vehicle stability assist module. The recall work was done, and the pedal feel improved, but after time, the issue returns. My brakes are soft and spongy and I get no brakes unless the pedal goes most of the way to the floor. It feels as if the car is not going to stop each time I brake.”

“While the vehicle moving slowly, suddenly the ABS, vsa (vehicle stability assist) and traction control lights all came on at the same time and stayed on. A Honda dealership later diagnosed the issue as a faulty vsa modulator, an expensive part which controls the ABS and traction control systems. The fault our vehicle experienced prevents all these systems from functioning. …”

“Vsa light comes on and turns off intermittently..and at times it happens on the highway which causes the car to jerk and not run right when going above 2500rpm..then the light will go away but the cel indicator will stay on ...at my wits end and dont know what to do”

“Vsa light has been on indicating vsa safety system is inoperative. Honda service unable to fix it recomending replacement of the entire system costing over $1,000. Took the car to Honda service over the life but got no where. I paid the car and all safety systems installed. After researching this problem in internet observed that there are hundreds of same vsa problems from Honda owners and Honda seems to ignore this safety problem.”

“Vsa come on when traveling on the highway, check engine light also comes on at the same time. Does not happen at slow speeds and when driving slow after it has come on, it will go off by itself as well as the check engine light. The code is not stored.”
