All the warning lights on the dashboard are ON except for emission lights namely, low tire pressure, brake lights, ABS, forward collision warning, airbag. I’m afraid during bad weather ABS system will not work properly. Car has 135k mileage. No safety recall checked by our mechanic. The lights never turned off when you drive.

Automatic Breaking System activated upon approaching overhead signs and metal type overpasses. This caused the vehicle to reduce speed significantly on highways and toll roads. Issue not inspected or confirmed by any garage or dealer as it’s random and hard to duplicate. Brake warning and collision lights activate upon false detection. Issue has been occurring randomly since we purchased vehicle. Dealer identified no recall for system issue.

Inexplicably and randomly, the FCW comes on the 2014 Honda Accord Ex-L. It is accompanied by most the other lights in the dashboard coming on (ex. lane departure, anti lock brakes, power steering, Traction control. When you turn car off and wait, the system seems to fix itself and all is fine until it recurs. It's very scary. My mechanic diagnosed and spoke to Honda who advised replacement of Honda ABS Control Module/Modulator Assembly. This is a very expensive part (approx. $1300) and unavailable at Honda. The concern is the safety situation plus the fact that this is a wide problem impacting so many other customers. I came upon this Honda forum where so many customers are having an identical problem to mine: https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/fcw-system-failure-message.77644/page-11#post-6861865 I'm requesting that this issue be investigated and Honda issue a recall and help customers such as me mitigate this problem. My son drives this car and I'm scared for him as safety features are disable when the electrical problem happens and then it fixes itself until the next time.

The forward collision warning system failed is lit up on the dash as well as ABS and other warning lights. I took the vehicle to a mechanic and he advised he has seen many Hondas with this issue and the VSA module is bad, which is what controls the anti-lock brakes. The specific code was 34_11 ABS Solenoid Valve Malfunction.

I AM RECEIVING A FWS FAILURE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THAT SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1800. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT HONDA SHOULD PAY THE COST TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A RECALL HONDA DTC U0416/68 FOR ANOTHER MODEL.
