While anti-lock brakes can be extremely beneficial, they introduce multiple components that are prone to failure. While issues with the ABS system on the Honda Civic are not widespread, there are a few concerns to watch out for. The primary braking problem involves the 2016 Civic, with Honda issuing a recall for over 350,000 vehicles due to an electric parking brake that may not engage when the car is turned off, causing strain on the transmission. Additionally, a common issue across all Honda Civic model years is the failure of wheel speed sensors, resulting in the ABS light on the dashboard illuminating. Civics are particularly susceptible to this problem, so checking the wheel speed sensors should be the first step if the ABS light turns on.
