Service Brakes, forward Collision Avoidance
10/27/2023
Vehicle brakes come on spontaneously while driving, during acceleration in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. Seems to be a part of the ABS/VSA system faulty engagement (Anti-Lock Brakes System/Vehicle Stability Assist) since the VSA warning light come on during the fault. Causes vehicle to brake, jerk and buck in middle of road. Almost got rear-ended on several occasions. Car stalls in middle of roadway. Disfunctional safety system failing to work properly. Intermittent problem that has occurred several time in the past year. Local dealer was "not able" to diagnose the problem despite inspection and problem issue report.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to complete a right turn, he heard an abnormal popping sound coming from the front passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact also stated that while driving over a bump, the vehicle briefly drifted to the right. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the passenger’s side front lower control arm. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V124000 (Suspension), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 178,000.

I have a 2006 Honda CRV with a little over 297,780 miles. Upon starting the car, the VSA and ABS indicator lights came on along with the VSA warning triangle and would not go off until the engine was turned off. There were no accidents or any noticeable problems with the vehicle while driving on city street under good conditions. I feel that this defect is essential in ensuring the overall safety of this car. The weight of the car is significant enough that an uncontrolled skid is much more likely to end in disaster than a skid that is stopped with the VSA and ABS function working properly. I feel that Honda should recall these cars and replace the VSA modulator unit entirely at Honda's expense. And for those who have already paid for the repair - reimburse the full amount of the repair! Since this component controls brakes and stability it seems to me to be a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall.
