2017 Honda Accord V6; Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Module went bad and it needs to be replaced but Honda is unable to provide quick fix or a replacement part because it is backordered and they don't know when they'll have it in stock even when I am willing to pay for it upfront. This is causing my car to go out of control on wet roundabouts or when merging from interstate to local roads w/ good Tires condition and within speed limit.

I was pulling my car forward into a parking spot in my apartment complex with my foot on the brake. I was about three quarters of the way into the spot when I suddenly felt the car lurch forward at what felt like a high rate of speed. The car lurched forward over the sidewalk and was stopped by two parked cars and a light pole. My car was moving slowly as I pulled in the spot before the sudden acceleration.

AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, IN THE CITY OF TUCSON, ARIZONA, I TURNED RIGHT ON A GREEN LIGHT AND HEARD A LOUD BANG COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST SINCE I WAS TURNING FROM A DEAD STOP. I COASTED INTO THE SERVICE STATION ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR IN ORDER TO PARK THE CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES NOTHING HAPPENED. PLACED MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. I COASTED INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED. TWO WITNESSES TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVER OF A TRUCK HAD RUN A RED LIGHT AND HIT ME. THE POLICE WERE CALLED, BUT WOULD NOT MAKE A REPORT. IN TUCSON, AZ, UNLESS TRAFFIC IS BLOCKED OR SOMEONE IS HURT THE POLICE WILL NOT RESPOND TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS TOOK PLACE DURING DAYLIGHT AROUND 7:15 AM. THE BRAKES WORKED LATER AT THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY DID NOT WORK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE I WAS HIT.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Honda Accord Fhev verdict →
