Consumer Description

DRIVING 65 MPH BRAKES APPLIED BY THEMSELVES, VEHICLE SWERVED AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL VSA LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER ON JAN. 17/18 . VSA NEEDED REPLACED. REPAIR DONE ON 3/6/18, WE DID NOT DRIVE UNTIL REPAIR DONE. THEN ON 3/31/18 IT OCCURRED AGAIN, SAME PROBLEM, BRAKES APPLIED BY THEMSELVES AND VEHICLE SWERVED AND AGAIN A STRUGGLE TO CONTROL IT. CALLED DEALER, THEY WILL HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE IF THE PROBLEM IS UNDER WARRANTY? THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS PROPERLY ADDRESS IN THE HONDA RECALL OF 2013.
