Sitting in a parking lot and the vsa light came on. Looked it up and saw the recall on the vsa so intended to get it checked out. A couple days later i'm tooling along at freeway speed and for a brief second it felt like someone slammed on the brakes and released, and the vsa light came on. Took it to the dealership and the codes they found were for some sort of a power drop and blamed it on a possible power outage…

When the light changed, i proceeded to make a right turn in a busy intersection, when going almost 30 & out of the turn, my pilot came to an unassisted abrupt stop! Im so lucky the person behind me didn't rear end me! It sounded like the…

I've just brought my 2005 honda pilot in to the honda dealer to have the recall fixed but now it seems like the random breaking with the vsa on is more frequent after the fixed. The recall for the honda pilot 2005 with the vsa did not fix my vsa trouble. The trouble i getting is still the same after the fixed. "if the control unit was damaged, the vsa system may apply a small amount of breaking force even if the…
