Consumer Description

DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED, SOMETIMES WHEN JUST STARTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A SHUDDERING ON THE BRAKE AND THE VSA WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENED ONLY OCCASIONALLY AT FIRST AND THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. THE WARNING LIGHT NOW IS ALWAYS ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AND IS UP TO DATE ON ALL MAINTENANCE. DEALER AND ANOTHER MECHANIC SAY IT IS THE VSA OR YAW SENSOR IN THE CENTER CONSOLE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,000-$2,0000. IT SEEMS TO BE THE VERY SAME ISSUE THAT THE RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL ADDRESSED. HONDA SAYS 2006 MODELS ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL? IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? THE VEHICLE WON'T PASS STATE INSPECTION NEXT YEAR IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. *TR
