NHTSA Complaint #10734361 — 2005 HONDA PILOT

1ST INCIDENT-I WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED (APPROX. 25-30 MPH). HEARD A GROWLING SOUND & CAR SUDDENLY BRAKED ON ITS OWN. I ALSO FELT AS IF I HAD LOST STEERING ABILITY. THE VSA LIGHT FLASHED ON THEN OFF DURING THE INCIDENT. 2ND INCIDENT- SAME AS ABOVE ONLY A WEEK LATER. 3RD INCIDENT- ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ENTER THE RAMP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. AGAIN THE CAR MADE A GRINDING SOUND, THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON MOMENTARILY WHILE THE CAR APPLIED THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN. ALL OF THESE INCIDENCES OCCURRED AFTER THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOR THE VSA RECALL(13-026) ON MAY 6, 2015. PREVIOUS TO THIS SERVICE, WE HAD NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE VSA. WE BELIEVE THAT BY HAVING THIS RECALL PERFORMED, HAS CAUSED ANOTHER MALFUNCTIONED AS A RESULT. I HAVE READ SOME MUCH MORE FRIGHTENING INCIDENCES THAN OURS ON YOUR SITE. SO WE ARE NOW DRIVING OUR CAR WITH THE VSA OFF! PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT. UPDATED 11/27/2017*CN
