Consumer Description

MY 2005 ACURA MDX HAS BEEN DRIVING GREAT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT OVER A YEAR AGO. RECENTLY THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED VERY ABRUPTLY WHEN LIGHTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE LIGHT GOES AWAY AND APPEARS TO RESET WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. NOW EVERY TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN I HAVE TO DRIVE EXTRA CAREFUL BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VSA LIGHT WILL COME ON AGAIN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS OF THE LIGHT WERE TO COME ON AND THE WHEELS WERE TO LOCK UP LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE SKIDDING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.
