What owners wrote

“ABS control module failed and warning lights have appeared. Honda needs to recall and repair this ABS control module. There are many complaints and youtube videos posted online about this problem. My car has less than 60,000 miles and this should not have occurred. Honda is making unreliable cars which they need to recall at their expense, since this can affect safety of passengers.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 1 of 82 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
