The Power Steering Light, Traction Light, ABS Light, and Brake Light all came on and would stay on leading me to check the code which was a 121-11 which seems to be a very common issue with the 9th generation Honda Accord.

SERVICE BRAKES — Filed 06/01/2026

The abs module failed. It is designed to fail as the wires are super thin. Repair quote was $4,000. The part, I’m sure, is then sent out and fixed cheaply then resold for a premium.

Same complaint as others with ABS Module failing. I’ve been going to Honda dealerships for the past 4 years feeling like my car just wasn’t riding right. No one ever mentioned anything about this problem. Last visit was 3 weeks ago at Walker Honda in Alexandria La. and same thing…car is perfect no problems found. 2 weeks later all these lights came on the dash same as the others and they never mentioned this problem! I’m a single grandmother raising 2 grandchildren (with no help), taking care of disabled mother and work for the state so I don’t make much money. This is my only vehicle. I love my Honda but seriously thinking of going with another brand for the fact these Honda dealerships don’t disclose this to you. Every dealership I’ve gone to has never mentioned this problem everyone seems to have with the same Honda vehicle with the same problem! Honda care…after they get the money for that vehicle they’re done unless there is more money to make off you.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM — Filed 04/03/2026

I was driving down the road and when i tried to hit the throttle to speed up a little suddenly the car just started misfiring randomly with zero warning beforehand. I tried to hit the throttle a couple more times but it kept misfiring and then the engine light, tpms light, traction control light and a couple other lights all lit up and i immediately had to pull over to the side of the road because it was extremely dangerous. i will also add that i had just got off the freeway maybe two minutes prior and it would've been a completely different story if that had happen then. I have an OBD scanner in my car and i immediately pulled it out to check what the codes were which it was a single code all around P0087. The high pressure fuel pump had completely died in the middle of me driving and was not even allowing a test when i took it in for a diagnostic. i replaced the high pressure fuel pump and it completely resolved the car issues and the codes went away immediately. i still have the faulty pump in my possession to. be inspected by someone if needed. the only reason a crash or something extremely tragic didn't happen is because it was later at night and the cars behind me happen to be a decent enough distance for me to be able to get over to put my car in a safer position to not obstruct the road and get a tow truck to assist me.
