The contact owns a 2013 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the ABS warning light, the brake warning light, and the traction control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the pressure sensor had malfunctioned and the VSA module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted and stated that the parts was unavailable. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the part unavailable and did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 74,000.

BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE FALSE INDICATORS DUE TO BEING CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE LIGHT. THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE VSA AND VTM-4 AND ECO LIGHT TO COME ON FALSELY. CREATING PANIC WHILE TRAVELLING 70 MILES AN HOUR ON INTERSTATE. CREATING THE FALSE...
