2017 Honda Accord V6; Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Module went bad and it needs to be replaced but Honda is unable to provide quick fix or a replacement part because it is backordered and they don't know when they'll have it in stock even when I am willing to pay for it upfront. This is causing my car to go out of control on wet roundabouts or when merging from interstate to local roads w/ good Tires condition and within speed limit.

About 3 months ago, the emergency brake light, traction control light, ABS light and power steering light started coming off and on, they now stay on all the time. I took and had it checked, CODE 121-11 for the VSA Solenoid Valve Malfunction. Had it checked for a program update I was told that there wasn't an update and the part to fix it has been on backorder from Honda for at least two years. (I notified Honda about this) I have a very strange sound when applying the brakes on a cold start and I can also feel a jerk in the brake pedal. Also noticed that oil is leaking around the engine cover and was told that it is a manufacturing issue with Honda. The cover is plastic and over the years, the plastic shrinks and causes a small oil leak. Replacing the cover and gasket would fix this.

I was pulling my car forward into a parking spot in my apartment complex with my foot on the brake. I was about three quarters of the way into the spot when I suddenly felt the car lurch forward at what felt like a high rate of speed. The car lurched forward over the sidewalk and was stopped by two parked cars and a light pole. My car was moving slowly as I pulled in the spot before the sudden acceleration.

WHEN DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED I CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE RUBBING. AS THE CAR GETS UP TO SPEED THE SOUND IS STILL THERE, BUT NOT AS NOTICEABLE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER NOISES DURING DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GETTING STUCK OR HAVE A SLOW RELEASE. THERE IS NO VISUAL DAMAGE TO THE ROTOR OR BRAKE PADS, BUT THE WHEEL NOISE IS STILL THERE. I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. I DON'T CARE IF ITS KNOWN TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE TIRE/RIM PACKAGE, OR WHATEVER. FIX THE ISSUE!
