Long story but i believe it is all related. Based on my understanding the anti-lock brake system and vsa are all part of the same system in a 2005 honda pilot. We were having a "noise" that was believed to be caused by a random anti-lock brake system self check. This would happen at any speed and appeared to be activated by any small bump in the road. This was more of a nuisance than anything but we thought we would…

This problem began earlier in 2012 and was investigated by the dealer in june. While driving at various speeds (45-75mph), the vsa system engages, locking one wheel for a second or two, and pulling the steering wheel as if in a skid. When this stops, the vsa light is on as well as a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. When the dealer 'fixed' this in june, they repaired a tpms sensor. They also found a brake…

We recently purchased this car used from anderson honda of palo alto. On several occasions the vsa has engaged for no apparent reason at speeds ranging from 10-35 mph. The vsa engaged at slow speeds when turning and at the faster speeds on the straight-a-way. When the vsa engages the vsa light and warning light turn on. The lights do go off after the car has been turned off and at rest for a few minutes. Most often…

I saw on the news that the nhtsa was investigating a brake issue on the honda pilot 2005. I experienced a similar issue but thought it was a glitch as it only happened one day (although it happened twice that day). I've finally gotten around to filing an official report both with honda and nhtsa to hopefully aid in the investigation. The braking issue happened on two separate occasions on the same day, roughly 2…

When accelerating the vehicle begins to shudder, jerk and lose power while accelerating from 0-40mph. Steering wheel begins to shake, acceleration seems to stall. At higher speeds on freeway there is some shuddering but not as noticeable. Braking or reducing speed does not immediately stop the shuddering. Its almost predictable at low speeds. Loss of power during acceleration feels as if the vehicle could stall…

Approximate date i put was today, but this has happened several times to my spouse within the last few years. Today is the first time i had been able to duplicate it. I just started the car, pulled out of the driveway on my way to work. About 300 yards down the road at approximately 25 miles per hour the car braked on its own twice and stopped the car. I had to get to work so i continued on. It occurred two more…

This has happened several times to my wife and daughter over the past month or so. They are driving along at any rate of speed and all of a sudden the car looses all power and the vehicle abruptly slows down and then recovers and begins running again. During this time the lights on the dashboard go out and flash and there is a popping sound at times. The last time it happened there was loss of all electrical to dash…

Intermittent vibration in the front passenger side when accelerating, at about 30-35 mph. Sometimes just slightly noticeable and sometimes significant enough so that the entire vehicle vibrates for a few seconds. We just purchased it used yesterday and did not notice the vibrations while test driving it. *tr

While driving at 40 mph, the vehicle suddenly brake to about 10 mph. There was a vibration in the front end like the abs system was working--even with the foot on the throttle. Drove about 2 blocks to a parking lot. Vsa and triangle with "!" was on display. Stopped the vehicle and turned the engine off. After 5 minutes, the vehicle was started and driven back home. There were no display lights or sudden braking. The…

The vsa light and warning light come on within a minute of the first movement of the vehicle. When the light comes on there is a loud clunk noise and the front brake and steering locks for a fraction of a second. It has happened more than once on the highway nearly causing me to be hit from behind. *tr

After pulling out of a parking garage and driving about 4 city blocks, our 2005 honda pilot made a loud groaning sound and came to a complete stop in an intersection while turning left. From that point, for the next half mile, the car screeched to a complete stop every 15 to 20 seconds, even while only pressing the accelerator going speeds up to 20 mph. I instructed my wife to pull into the first available parking…

Beginning in september of 2010, my 2005 honda pilot made a groaning noise around the driver side area, swerved abruptly to the left on its own, while the cruise was set at 56mph. Following the incident the vsa warning light and the light illuminated. After first incident, it was towed to the dealership where they found diagnostic codes for yaw rate sensor failure and battery voltage failure. They found the battery…

Saturday may 23rd i was turning left at a stop sign in the middle of a busy intersection and suddenly (as i was pressing the gas) the car began to brake on its own. Trying to move out of traffic, i increase the gas, but the more i did, the more the car resisted. (as if it was braking). It made a horribly loud noise the whole time. I tried to turn into a parking lot to get off the road, and when i barely touched the…

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. When the contact came to a complete stop with the brakes depressed, the rpms increased excessively. When the contact engaged the brake pedal to the floor a second time, it extended to the floor. The back end of the vehicle swung outward. She had to shift into neutral gear in order to decrease the rpms. The manufacturer was not notified. The dealer confirmed that the failure…

Vehicle stalled and will not accelerate, vtm,vsa and engine lights on. Problem started in 2008 before honda issued a recall. Problem ongoing as of present. Seems like temporary fixes each time, honda can't seem to find a permanent fix. Keeps getting the run around. Very frustrating. *tr

The vsa and/or abs will unexpectedly apply the brakes while driving. It is a short and quick application of the brakes, hard enough to make the vehicle swerve. It then seems to release and you can continue driving. Once this occurs both the vsa and abs lights on the dash turn on showing they are disabled. The brakes continue to be operational. Upon turning off the ignition the lights reset and the vsa/abs seem to be…
