ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
There was a sudden loss of all control of the vehicle for a few seconds, i.e., no steering/braking etc. and swerved; it could have easily caused an accident if there were any cars in the next lane. When control came back, pulled to a left turning lane and stopped. After a couple minutes, started driving again slowly and with fear. There were/are no warning lamps/messages/symbols prior to or after this happened.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
1. VSA Modulator: VSA ABS Brake Control Module and is still in my car 2. Flashing lights distracting when driving and no replacements available per dealer (see below). Concern if problem causes Break system degradation or failure. 3. I have the service record from Performance Kings Honda, Cincinnati, OH 513-774-6013 with detailed notes below INv # 1146638 4. No, part is still installed in my vehicle so I can drive it 5. LDW, FDW, ABS, TPS (tire), Power Steering, etc. appeared without symptoms/warning in Summer 2023. All of a sudden, many of the lights on the dashboard lit up. LDW, FDW, ABS, TPS (tire), Power Steering, and maybe another one or two. Mechanic recommended changing the battery. After the battery was replaced, the lights should have reset automatically. When they didn't reset as expected, the mechanic tried to diagnose the issue and found no mechanical issues and didn't get a code from the scanner he had. After 6 months, I took the car to the Honda Dealer who diagnosed the issue:"Diag-Electrical - Found DTC-66-113 Pressure Sensor Malfunction Recommend Replace VSA Modulator. Dealer says the part is not available and there is no expectation of the part being restocked in the future "Galactic Back-order". Cost of $168 to diagnose the problem. This part is not available for sale any where on the internet, but could be remanufactured by vendors on eBay and Amazon ( safety problem #1). Reviewed many postings across the internet from owners of Honda Accord 2014 and many other models and years. The warning lights being on and flashing constantly is very distracting and the Error messages replace 2 of the functions on my odometer display. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle should the problem deteriorate further and various systems fail. The part is still in my car at this point and is available for inspection. This issue should be reported to Honda and covered by a recall.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
1. Im experiencing an ABS module failure (Honda calls it VSA module). 2. When the system messed up it causes my traction control and anti-lock brakes to turn off. 3. The problem has been reproduced as it keeps randomly turning all of the systems on and off randomly, multiple times during a single drive. 4. It has not been inspected by any of the people listed. 5. Nothing prior to the failure just all of a sudden my dashboard indicated that my electronic steering system, ABS, forward collision warning system, lane departure warning system, and tire pressure monitoring system all shut down. When the codes were read it all leads back to a failure in the ABS/VSA module. Reading articles online has shown me others that have had this issue has made me realize this is a very large number of vehicles affected and could cause great bodily harm or death to occupants or others on the roadway. Attached in the photo section i have supplied pictures of the codes currently on the vehicles computer. I have cleared the codes and the failure immediately came back and all safety systems turned back off.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Two weeks ago the FCW/LDW, Steering Wheel, Tire Pressure, ABS, and Emergency Brake lights came on the dashboard. I took the car to the mechanic and it was diagnosed as a malfunctioning ABS Modulator. According to the shop, they are dealing with a lot of similar cases for Honda Accords of around the same age. According to the dealer, the cost to replace this sensor is $1,900 since it basically controls a lot of important braking functions. I wished Honda would issue a recall of this matter considering the number of vehicles affected.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR INTERMITTANTLY WILL NOT START AND CAN LEAVE ME STRANDED. IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTING IGNITION SWITCH AS THE STARTER WORKS FINE SO LONG AS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNS IT ON. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE PREVIOUS 2013 MODEL AND APPARENTLY NOT FIXED WITH THE 2014 MODEL.

The major part of the car that needs to be replaced is the ABS modulator and its entire system. The vehicle has the emergency brake light on even when not used. Also, the LDW, tire pressure, ABS, traction control, and power steering light appeared to be on. The vehicle was taken to Honda for repair, and the labor and parts cost over $2000.

I took my 2014 Honda Accord Ex in for repairs on September 4, 2023 and the Honda dealership informed me that after replacing the battery that the it that the VSA Modulator on the car has gone bad which has been a common problem with this year Honda Accord and others from 2013 all the way to the 2017. And this part has been on back order for months. This a shame.

Push button start had occasional starting problem. But if I tried starting a few minutes later it would work then it completely stopped starting. Having car towed to dealer tomorrow for diagnosing. I believe it is a starter issue. Even though car is 2014 it has low mileage.
