Honda Civic Electrical System Safety Report | Oct 03, 2012
Reported on Oct 03, 2012
| AFTER FILLING UP FOR GAS, I TURN MY VEHICLE ON AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT CRAZY WITH WARNING LIGHTS AND AUDIO WARNINGS. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN STARTED THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME THE VSA AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ON, ALONG WITH THE LCD SCREEN SHOWING A SYSTEM FAILURE ON THESE TWO SYSTEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VSA MODULATOR MODULE WAS COMPLETELY FRIED. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING TO ME, AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 827 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND THE MODULE FRIED WHILE SITTING AT A GAS STATION (THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING). THE DEALER IS FIXING MY CAR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MERE FACT THAT THIS HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND NOT MOVING IS A CONCERN - NOT TO MENTION THE PRICE OF THIS MODULE (~ $900.00). *TR | |
