SERVICE BRAKES
Hello, I have a 2016 Honda Accord EX-L which has roughly 105,000 miles. All of my brake lights, VSA, Traction control, and tpms lights came on. I went to get the vehicle diagnosed and the issue was with a faulty VSA modulator. This is a very expensive part and a feature in a vehicle that should not be faulty. I have already repaired this issue but I just find it ridiculous that something so standard has arised, and has cost me over $2,000 to fix. Can you please report honda and look into this. I know I"ve done the work but I feel like reimbursement should happen.

vsa modulator in the honda accords go bad, SPECIALLY the 2013-2017 Model Years. There are so many bulltins etc on the internet if you look it up youd see ,millions of people are having the same issue. This affets braking & traction. Traction control is no longer useable and the ABS System does not work since this is all apart of the ABS system. search honda accord vsa modulator recall 2016 honda accord you will see tons and tons of complains about the same part. Honda knows and it seems as if they dont want to recall this. This is clearly a defect. I am unable to pass safety inspection in my state the last two years due to this issue. There is also none of these VSA modules in the States. ive asked time and time again and they dont have a n ETA. This is a HUGE safety concern as it affects braking and traction control. I also reached out to honda corporate as well as other people who have this issue. this issue has been reported to the NHTSA several times as well. this should NOT be happening. this is affecting millions of people and osmething needs to be done about it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The battery charging sensor failed about 1 month ago. A message on my dash displayed a serious waring to "Check Charging System" to prevent a sudden loss of power and control of my vehicle. I checked the charging system and found it in working order - but the battery sensor had failed so I replaced it, and the problem was solved. I called Honda @ 800 999-1009 and they told me that although the same year, make and model had been recalled for the same defective part that my VIN wasn't included in their recall and they would not reimburse me for the cost of the defective part I replaced ($33.69) until I received a notice that my VIN was included in their recall. I respectfully request that NHTSA follows up with Honda to ensure all affective vehicles are included in their recall. Thank you.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
For the last few months, my audio system has been making static and crackling noises. It is intermittent. I would estimate the noise to occur around 25% of the time I am driving. At times, it is extremely loud and nerve wracking. When that noise amplifies, hearing surrounding traffic or other community sounds, sirens, train horns, etc is not possible. This occurs with the audio system turned either off or on. It is unsafe, and there is no way to control it. Online, I have seen complaints from several types of Honda make/model owners, but Honda only recognizes a limited few years, makes, and models. Honda should not be allowed to put Honda drivers, passengers, and the community at large at risk by ignoring the problem. There needs to be a recall and mandate from the NTSB that Honda fix this safety issue. I am listing today as the incident date. However, this issue has occurred pretty much every day for the last few months.
