NHTSA Complaint #11297222 — 2006 HONDA PILOT

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE VSA LIGHT AND TRIANGLE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE BRAKES WILL APPLY HARD WITH VERY LITTLE PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDDLE. SOMETIMES THE VSA LIGHT WILL COME ON AS SOON THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES . TURNING OFF THE VSA BUTTON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY , HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS HAPPENS ,THE BRAKES STOP THE CAR THEN THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON . THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED THE VSA MODULE BUT SHORTLY AFTERWARD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS . NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A NEW VSA MODULE AT $2000 PLUS DOLLARS, SEEMS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY 2006 PILOT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, ONLY HAVE 74000 MILES ON VEHICLE FOR HAVING IT 13 YEARS THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AT 40 MPH OR SO AFRAID TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AT 60-70 MPH. WHILE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IT MAY GO SEVERAL MONTHS WITH OUT A PROBLEM OR THE VSA LIGHT COMING ON THEN IT HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE
