Breaks are probably stuck on. Put Grease on the calipers so they will release. If thats not it try cleaning theline by taking the caliper off and forceing it open with chanle locks that will push the fluid back through the line into the resivor hopefuly uncloging what is keeping it ingaged. Worh a shot?
Inkman66 from Canada 4 years ago
I agree with the previous comment. It is likely that the calipers are not moving properly they need to be either serviced and rebuilt or replaced. This is a good opportunity to check wheel bearings as well, since they may also be corroded.

Brake lights

I had the same issue for the longest in my 2012, but recently I replaced my front calipers and got elite AutoZone brakes and rotors, and so far so good. Before it was grinding within a month of the new brakes and rotors with the old calipers.

Idk if you’re in Florida. But if so, I can hook you up with a good discount at Oriellys for the Brake calipers.

I had to replace the ABS pump. Cost of pump from Honda is 800. I bought used from ebay for 80. Works just fine.
KCinNC from United States 2 months ago
This just started happening to my ‘17 Honda Accord. I had my repair shop do a diagnostic. It is the AVS Modulator. Replacement cost is $3400. The good news is that this affects only the ABS. You still have brakes, just not the antilock. I’m driving mine as is for now. It is VERY important to report this issue to American Honda. If enough of the same issue is reported the NTSB will have Honda issue a recall.

Starts fine, idles fine around 1000rmp. Power drops to the engine and it seems to be locked in Limp Mode. There's a big list of things I've done below, but the comp is saying misfires in all 4 cylinders and it threw codes for the crank, coolant temp, and knock sensors, all of which are new and torqued to spec. Put em in yesterday. Codes and misfires continue. Grounding issue? If so, how do I troubleshoot that?

Most noticeable on smooth road unrelated to engine speed or gear used. Louder than engine noise. Declutched engine idle and it's still there. Wheel bearings, UJ's, brakes, tyres all checked by Honda dealer just passed Mot. Differential? Its a mystery.

Issues 2009 Honda Accord LX 4dr 2.4L

2009 Honda Accord LX Sedan 2.4L 5A
Rear tires overheated to the point that it would burn a hand that touched it on 6-11-2012 (mileage 46,384). Smelled of burning rubber. Had to replace the left rear brake caliper, brake pad, and rotor. On 4-18-2013 (mileage 65,922) the same problem on right rear. This required replacement of the right rear brake pad and rotor. On 6-13-2014 (mileage 93,310) the same overheating occurred and required replacement of the rear brake pads. The latest occurrence was on 3-16-2015 (mileage 112,411). We have an appointment to have this examined in two days so do not yet know the diagnosis. I am very concerned that this failure could occur while we are driving and could result in a fire, blown tire, or crash.

Loud metal on metal gringing noise

When starting the car it sounds like a horrible grinding noise. It goes for a little while and then srops. Doesnt matter wether im breaking or hitting the gas. Tapping the brakes dont make it stop so i dont think its a locked caliber. It just does it... Any ideas what it could possibly be? Husband said maybe it has something to do with the parking break but he don't know wither. Hes not a car guy.

Problem 2009 Accord

2009 Honda Accord 25000 miles
I bought my 2009 honda accord lx on december 30, 2008. Less than a month after that, my brakes started making a horrific squeaking sound every time i applied pressure to them. It does not matter if i tap them lightly or i push down hard; the brakes still make terrible noises. I took my car in to the honda dealership twice for an oil change and once for the brake sounds. All three times, i asked the associates to check the brakes. Each time, they said the brakes were adjusted (i.e. Sanded) and that the noise should cease. On the my trip, i told them whatever they were doing wasn't working. It w… Read complete

While driving alone into a marked space in a public parking lot, my foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator. The vehicle then accelerated into the concrete base of a light pole. Immediately, the vehicle bumper crumpled, the left side of the hood crumpled, and the passenger side air bag activated. There was no one except myself in the vehicle and the driver side airbag did not activate. At this date, november 10, i have no idea how much damage was done to the vehicle. *tr

My daughter was driving her 2008 Honda Accord, she hit a tree, fence and flipped the car resulting in it hitting another tree and the drivers airbag never deployed. She died in the car accident and Honda takes no responsibility for this. If you seen her car you wouldn’t believe the air bag didn’t deploy- all the other airbags did but not hers. I even had the coroner say she had no signs of airbag deployment to her body and her injuries were consistent with no airbag deployed. The police report and first responders stated no airbag deployment yet Honda takes no responsibility for it. Just makes me wonder how many more lives will be lost before they own this and make it a recall.

I was in an accident today with my 2008 Honda Accord. Airbags definitely should’ve deployed but didn’t.

This is a failure of the VSA modulator. I just had this same issue. It’s a $3400 replacement. This modulator controls the antilock braking system. You can drive on without fixing it if the cost is too much. You will have brakes, just not antilock function.

Lights on dash

2013 Honda Accord 275000 miles
A few months ago I had several lights come on: ABS , power steering, brake, and tire pressure. After taking it to a shop I was told than an ABS sensor was malfunctioning due to an ABS flap on the passenger side getting stuck and that it can’t be fixed. They are not constantly on and some days don’t come on at all. Recently, my TPS light has started blinking. I’ve checked pressure, recalibrated, and even checked the spare. What could be the actual cause of all this? Performance of car has not changed at all and still gets 40-ish miles to a gallon. It does have 275,000 miles

It jerks while driving and especially when turning a corner, when you give it a brake, the pickup stops and even stops. If you give it a brake before cutting the corner and don't give it a brake while cutting, it doesn't stop, but it often breaks.

Sounds like you may have a fuel pump issue, it may have been caused by running the fuel extremely low. Some of the "dust" in the fuel tank may have been sucked into the line it may help to run a good fuel additive and fill up your fuel tank and make sure it stays above half or at least a quarter tank.

Engine Missfiring(?)

2017 Honda Accord LX 38000 miles
Got a bit of a story.
About 2 months ago I bought a 2017 Honda Accord LX (FWD) with Rebuilt Title & 38K miles. When warm/stopped at a light, the car will make loud grumbling noises and jerk forward. Kept having it looked at until about a month ago a family member took it out and it started leaking heavy fuel. Had the fuel leakage fixed but the Engine problem still persists.
I've had 2 mechanics say they can't figure out why it keeps missfiring, any advice? For any further context, I have the following lights: Check Engine, Electronic Power Steering, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Anti-lock brake System on.

2012 Accord 2.4L LX issues

2012 Honda Accord LX Sedan 2.4L 5A
I was slowing down and braking for a red traffic light. I had to apply a lot of pressure on the brakes as it felt like the car was going to accelerate. This is the second time that i had this particular problem. Both times, this acceleration attempt when i was braking, did not happen for the remainder of my drive. I did not notice the engine revving or see that the engine was overheated. I was driving on city street where the posted peed limit is 25 mph and i was driving withing the speed limit.

Problem Accord LX 2.4L

2009 Honda Accord LX Sedan 2.4L 5M 90000 miles
From the beginning upon taking delivery of the vehicle, the rear brake calipers were not releasing properly. We noticed a burning smell once after driving, but no warning lights were on. We also noticed the emergency brake was not always releasing, as per the warning light. At a routine oil service it was determined that right rear caliper was not full disengaging. The entire rear brake assembly had to be cleaned and adjusted, the rear brake pads and rotors had to be replaced. Both rear calipers had to be replaced. In the past, our vehicles have gone 90,000 miles before replacing only the pads, and then only the front. To replace an entire rear bake assembly indicates some sort of defect or engineering problem.

2009 Accord 5A LX 4dr problem

2009 Honda Accord LX Sedan 2.4L 5A
Rear brake pads wore prematurely as per class action suit notification we received in 2010. Upon inspection for routine maintenance (no other signs of a problem occurred) found that the rotors were also ruined and required repair. Honda seems ready to wash their hands of the situation because of the class action settlement and would not pay for rotor replacement, at least that is what the dealer indicated. Total cost of repair was $337. Not happy and the second problem with the vehicle on a critical safety system (front wheel bearings went and were replaced by honda at about 20,000 mi). I'm concerned there will be ongoing critical failures if our experience with this accord is any indication of what is to come. *tr
