Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. the contact stated the vehicle stability assist warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. the contact was unable to deactivate the control module. the contact referenced the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system). the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnosis or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 154,000.
2005 honda pilot with 145k miles suddenly started to apply brakes without warning while driving on straight, flat, dry roads at moderate speeds. if has also occurred at highway speed, but never associated with skidding, sliding, etc. the brakes appear to apply differentially, causing a swerve that needs to be corrected quickly to avoid collision with traffic. the vsa light comes on, and the triangular vsa disconnect light comes on. they both go out after the car is shut off and restarted. the local honda dealer says there is no recall for this, but that they had reprogrammed the car's vsa during an earlier service visit.
The brakes are applying randomly without applying pressure on the brake pedal. the vsa light remains illuminated and it is unsafe to drive. 13v092 is the recall bulliten i believe applies to my vehicle, but when i search my vin, it shows no unrepaired recalls. i have verified that the vsa subharness has not been installed prior to my purchase of the vehicle. my manufacture date falls between the timeline of this recall and also my vin begins with 2hk, which is specified in campaign 13-026 as requiring vsa sub harness installed. i have taken it to my local honda dealer and they have told me that it does not qualify for the recall because it is "vin specific".
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably and crashed into a stationary police cruiser. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. the driver and the front passenger sustained injuries that did not require medical attention. the contact's vehicle was damaged and was towed to a tow yard. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. two weeks earlier, while driving approximately 10 mph, the brakes seized momentarily and released when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the failure mileage was approximately 190,000.
My car was not part of the honda pilot vsa recall (https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/honda-recalls-182000-vehicles-for-faulty-vehicle-stability-assist-system.html) but it is doing exactly what they said was a problem in 182000 other vehicles. the vsa warning light comes on + stays on when the engine is running. please help. i did not recieve notice that my vehicle was recalled and it does not show . on your web site either
Car will apply brake to itself causin a swerve or a jerk and the vsa light will come on and as sson as u turn off the ignition the light will turn off. and will happen again when it wants too. any car appky brake by itself is unsafe and will cause a accident especially when driver have no control of it... this needs to be addressed immediately and recalled and fixed. this is not the only honda pilot doing this. there were quite a few

Driving my honda pilot truck eastbound on the left lane at about 40 miles an hour, had the foot on the gas pedal, the brake made a groaning noise and the truck started to slow down rapidly. to a full stop. the brakes went on and was so scared, because i looked up on my rear view mirror and there was a suv driving behind me. he did see me , and he had to swerve into the opposite lane. my heart sank. he got out of his suv and he started to yell at me. i told him the truck came to a stop it malfunctioned and they were lights on my dashboard . as he walked away back into his suv and drove off i sat there. i put the car in park looked at my manual and shut off the vehicle and turned it back on and the indicators on my dashboard we're gone. i called up my husband to let him know. before i shut the car off,, two indicators came on vsa and a warning sign. i know there was a recall it in 2013 i did get that fixed as i took it to a honda dealership. about two years ago it happened again i was on the belt parkway in new york and the pilot made a noise and it stopped on its own there were more than two lights flashing on my dashboard that day. and i was driving slower on the parkway because of traffic. so, the impact wasn't so scary . two lives were saved that day. i called honda recall case #[xxx]. since my husband had to bring his car in to get fixed i also took my honda. the company's name is hardmans auto ,they also order parts from the honda dealership also located in the same town. did cool honda auto service but the manager named [xxx] hasn't called me back yet. will call again today to get my pilot checked. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
My 2005 honda pilots brakes are on.i started the vehicle and shifted into reverse, the brakes are fully engaged.i shifted into drive, same thing. the emergency brake is not engaged. i cannot drive the vehicle.
Vehicle stability assist recall completed in 2013 has failed to address vsa issues. vehicle will randomly apply brakes while driving in normal conditions, possibly presenting a hazard to driver, passengers, and other vehicles on the road. when the brakes are applied, the vsa light illuminates and must be reset. there are multiple documented occurrences of this online with multiple owner/operators, and the fact that the previous recall has not been effectively must be addressed. thank you for your time and attention.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. the contact received a recall repair remedy from mcgrath city honda (6720 w grand ave, chicago, il 60707, 773-889-3030) to address the vsa, but the remedy failed to provide a solution. the contact later experienced abnormal involuntary braking with the steering pulling to the right for a brief moment and then the vsa warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated that the code was for the yaw rate sensor and that it was not related to the recall. the dealer stated that further diagnostic testing was needed. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system), and nhtsa action numbers: dp12002 (electronic stability control), pe12028 (service brakes, hydraulic), and ea13002 (electronic stability control). the manufacturer stated that they were aware of a failure with the yaw ratre sensors, but had not provided a recall remedy. the approximate failure mileage was 225,000. *tt

On cold temperatures, and while the car is moving on the highway, the brakes will suddenly apply all by itself and the vsa off and a triangle (with exclamation) light comes on the dashboard. this causes the vehicle to strongly jerk and swerve for a second. turning off the vsa before driving, the sudden brake will not happen. i checked recalls for my vin but there are no open recalls. please investigate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle slighty swayed from the left and the right with a shuttering sensation. the vsa system warning indicator illuminated. the contact turned off the vehicle to disengage the warning indicator; however, the failure recurred. the contact found in the owner's manual that the vsa warning was an indication that the brakes and stability controls were experiencing a malfunction. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and several failure codes appeared; however, they were not able to completely indicate what the nature of the repairs. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. the approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. while driving approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but the brakes failed and the passenger side caliber was smoking. the contact had to restart the vehicle to release the brakes. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake pads, calibers, master cylinder, and emergency brakes needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.
To whom it may concern, my 2005 pilot model exl has 90,000 miles. recently the vsa light started to come on randomly while i was driving the car. whenever that happened there would also be a loud 'chunk' noise that accompanied it and for a fraction of a second the brakes and steering wheel would lock up. however today when it happened, i could not turn off the vsa function and the worst part was that the malfunction of the vsa had locked the brakes once while i was driving on the road. due to the malfunction i lost control of the car for a few seconds and although this only occurred one time, it was an extremely frightening experience.

Hace un tiempo tuve un accidente y mientras conducia solo en mi honda pilot y lo bolsa de aire del lado del pasajero exploto aun cuando no habia nadie en el asiento del pasajero y la bolsa de aire del lado mio, del conductor siendo la mas importante no abri poniendo mi vida en riesgo.
This is an addendum to complaint #10734361 the incident date was not correct. it was 2015 not 2014. and since the original complaint, we took the vehicle to auto parts store & they came up with 2 error codes. 25-1 yaw sensor malfunction & 61-1 battery voltage malfunction. these error codes seem to be a common thread with a lot of the complaints filed. also, we have had to replace our alternator & battery since the recall service. coincidence?
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. while driving approximately 60 mph, the brakes engaged independently. as a result, the vehicle swerved from left to right and the vehicle stability assist warning light illuminated. the vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system); however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the yaw rate sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 126,000.
I was parking , when the car jolted forward, i hit the brake, but the car accelerated going onto the pavement of the shopping centre, breaking two sides of a brick pillar. both sides of the front of the car doors were destroyed and the main front, the car was a total loss. the airbags, never came out. *tr
My daughter was driving our family's 2005 honda pilot. she applied the brake lightly which resulted in excessive breaking in the left front wheel and then appearance of the vsa light. i brought the vehicle to the honda dealer who first indicated there was no recall and then indicated there was a vsa wire harness recall (nhtsa 13v-092) but that it did apply the vsa light going on and therefore had nothing to do with the recall. a vsa light diagnostics which i independently paid for indicated a yaw rate failure code (25-01). this light vsa light has continued to intermittently go on and off with an intermittent contemporaneous relationship to braking. on 2/25/15 my daughter was driving the vehicle on the highway (no vsa light on), applied the brakes lightly and the car braked severly even once her foot was off the brake and pulled the car in the same front right direction as before forcing her to swerve along side a passing truck. the vsa light went on after the event occurred. calling the honda dealer today, the service manager indicated that honda does not have a recall on this matter once the part for the 13v-092 recall was replaced. in reviewing safer car.gov nhtsa campaign id number dp12002 it describes well what has occurred twice and which has not been corrected by the recall service performed. i have also contacted honda usa. i believe honda has inadequately evaluated the relationship of similarly reported events regarding unexpected car brake assist with mild application of the brake since the vsa wire harness recall repair did not resolve the unexpected and inappropriate vsa/esc/ba system logic response. it is not clear why honda is not addressing my matter under this recall (nhtsa 13v-092) and the referenced nhtsa dp12002, and further investigating under a known safety recall.
Honda pilot was serviced at ed voyles honda on 10/22 and picked up on 10/23. extensive service performed on car...timing belt, transmission, air bags replaced per recall, engine mounts replaced, oil changed, etc. picked up car on 10/23. on 10/24 backed out of driveway and put car in drive gear. car accelerated without me putting foot on acceleration. could not stop vehicle. acceleration continued and increased. only way to stop car was to run into a tree. not sure if caused by recent work or i have read now that 2005 honda pilots have had issues with unprovoked acceleration. usaa insurance company has totaled car and car is at junk yard now. *tr
My 2005 pilot model has 108,000 miles. the vsa light started to come on while i was driving the car. whenever that happens for a fraction of a second the brakes and steering wheel would lock up and vsa light remains on until vehicle is turned off. the stability control recall 13v092000 was performed july 2013, it was to fix this problem. local honda dealer found yaw rate sensor failure and wants $1,100.00 to replace. *tr
I heard a loud thumping or grinding sound from the front of the car and the brakes engaged on their own. at the same time the vehicle stability warning light came on (yellow triangle). over next three weeks this happened three times, seemingly randomly. on one occasion the "yaw sensor" code was triggered. the vsa recall in 2013 was performed by the dealer in 2013. *tr
On 06/15/2014, around 6:00pm, while approaching a curve at approx 30 mph lightly applied brakes. brakes locked up and vsa light came on. had the car checked by dealership and told me the problem is the sensor of vsa, it happens mor and more often for last couple of months. *tr
The first incident happened while turning, car came to a stop, jerked the wheel almost hitting another car; all without warning. a child passenger was in the back seat and was thrown forward hitting her head on the passenger front seat and seat belt locked causing her to have a seat belt bruise. vsa (light), the vsa activation light (triangle with exclamation inside) were both illuminated. suv was taken to local dealership to perform the recall work. two weeks later, same thing but this time i was going about 55mph on highway, suv came to almost a complete stop within a short distance. grinding feeling and with the vsa indicator lights on. almost hit someone when the wheel jerked and caused me to go into the right lane and almost hitting someone, kids were in the suv one in the passenger side front and the other in back same side. seat belt once again left a bruise on their chest and caused the front passenger to have strained his neck. this is a vehicle that cause great concern. i am now afraid to allow my son to drive this vehicle with this problem continuing. the dealership has said that they have performed the recall bulletin and i will need to fix this on my own. this is not satisfactory at all. *tr
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
While driving around a bend towards a red light, without my foot on the pedal my car made a weird shutter or brake pulsing, i thought i had gone over some ripple strips. when the light changed, i proceeded to make a right turn in a busy intersection, when going almost 30 & out of the turn, my pilot came to an unassisted abrupt stop! im so lucky the person behind me didn't rear end me! it sounded like the transmission was grinding & the tires were locked. i waited a few seconds let go of brakes & the vehicle began to move but in 5 ft it did it again. towed to dealer who cant seem to find or recreate the problem. multiple brake, abs, vsc & electrical alarms were reported by dealer but still no solution. this car is unsafe to drive and by multiple reports this is a widespread problem. *tr
As i was approaching a left turn lane i applied the brakes gently and the left front brake momentarily grabbed causing the vehicle to swerve into the oncoming traffic and the vsa lights activated. this has occurred 9 times in the last 300 miles. i took the vehicle to the dealer immediately and they told me they could not duplicate the problem and they found no problems with the car. never had a problem until the "recalled" vsa module was replaced less than 6000 miles ago. the dealer tells me that the vsa module is not under warranty. *tr
I had let the car warm up for about 20minutes before i left. about 8:30am saturday dec. 14th 2013 my 2005 honda pilot started to accelerate on its own at a very high rate of speed. i tried to push on the brakes but it would not stop. i started praying to jesus and saying out loud god please! god please! god please! i know this sounds a little dramatic but it was very scary! i got off on the side of the road and by the grace of god something gave way. either the accelerator stopped accelerating or the brakes finally worked but i was able to get the car to stop. from one worried car owner to another who may have had this problem or that might have this problem. i now know that i could put it in neutral and maybe turn the key off to also to get it to stop. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stability assist (vsa)warning indicator illuminated as the steering wheel seized. the steering wheel independently released after several seconds and the vehicle resumed normally. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and repaired under nhtsa campaign id number: 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic , traction control system) however, after the recall remedy was performed the failure recurred twice and the vehicle was taken back for repairs each time. the manufacturer was not notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. the contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled and the vsa warning lamp illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileage was 93,000.
Traveling 45-60 miles per hour, vsa light comes on and vehicle comes to a complete stop, no warning no brake lights nothing, vsa recall has been performed 3 times now, along with yaw rate sensor. after repairs done again on 07/28/2015 lasted until 09/09/2015 when traveling 45 miles per hour and vehicle stopped again almost causing a major accident. anyone else out there experiencing these difficulties ?
While driving on the highway, the vehicle's vsa engaged locking up the brakes. we were very lucky to have not caused a serious accident. it happened again why leaving the highway for side streets. the vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection. we are extremely concerned as the vehicle had just been to the dealership for the recall involving the involuntary command of vsa engagement. this is absurd that these vehicles are allowed to still be on the road with such a serious flaw that could result in loss of life. *tr
After the recall of vsa it happens that the suv experiencing the symptom of excessive braking and vsa light comes out... before the recall we haven't experiencing this vsa problem.. i don't know in some reason why it comes out after the recall had been made..first occurrence i bring it to the dealer and advise that they been check , fixed and inform it won't come out any more .. after two weeks it happened again and my suv will bring again to the dealer for the second time... i feel they make me feel worse this recall that been made ... is there any advice ???? *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. the contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the brakes engaged independently and the stability assist warning light illuminated. the vehicle was repaired under a recall associated with nhtsa campaign number 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system) but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure and current mileage was 72,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. the contact was driving approximately 55 mph and engaged the brakes. the vehicle came to a abrupt stop and then began to accelerate uncontrollably. the contact was unable to maneuver the uncontrollable vehicle and crashed into two cement barriers. the contact sustained minor back injuries. a police report was filed of the incident. the vehicle was destroyed and towed to a salvage facility. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number:13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic: antilock: control) and stated that the recall notification was received after the consequence of the recall had been experienced. the approximate failure mileage was 124,000.
The vehicle would apply additional brake force on the driver's side front wheel while the driver use the brake to slow the vehicle on a downhill road. the extra brake force only last 1 second or 2 but it caused the vehicle steer to the left and the vsa come on. in several occasions, the vehicle crossed the lane to the oncoming traffic. the vsa light will come on until i turn off the ignition. the honda dealer initially suggest it was related to the vsa recall but after performing the recall work 4 times, the issue still exist. they finally determined the yaw sensor was causing the problem and replace it. *tr
Brakes went to floor when applied to slow down forward motion in driveway/garage. took vehicle out for test drive and could not replicate. *tr
While driving i went to apply my brakes to begin slowing down, i only applied a very small amount of pressure when a grinding noise started and lasted only a few seconds then a slight jerk as if my car was braking on its own and then a warning light turned on (exclamation inside a triangle and the vsa letters appeared) this stayed on until i turned off the car. this has occurred now 4 times. fortunately i only have to drive 5 miles to work. firstly, i am afraid to drive any distance especially on the highway should this get worse and secondly i have grandkids that i transport and am concerned that i could possibly be putting their lives in jeopardy!! i do hope that something is done or a recall is made so that this can be fixed. *tr
First incident, my wife was driving approximately 45 mph when 2005 honda pilot began to vibrate and make a "groaning" noise or a noise almost like when you drive on a gravel road. 2005 honda pilot was also (while vibrating and making noise) abruptly slowing down/ stopping without depressing the brake pedal. it would also do this while applying the accelerator. second incident was later that same day. i picked the 2005 honda pilot up from my wife as she was now to afraid to drive it. after about 10 mins of driving, i was doing about 55 mph and the 2005 honda pilot made the same noise and vibration as described above and also slowed down abruptly as if i hit the brakes(which i didn't). about another half mile was a traffic light as i began to slow down for light i applied the brakes gently and as i applied the brakes the brake pedal left my foot and the 2005 honda pilot came to an abrupt stop. this happened two more times so i pulled into a parking lot because i did not feel safe driving at that point. when i stopped in the parking lot i noticed my vsa indicator light was on. it would not turn off until i turned the 2005 honda pilot off. same day i took my 2005 honda pilot to the local honda dealership and they have not been able to reproduce the symptom. *tr
Accelerating at relatively low speed, usually just after stopping, heard audible "pop" through car radio, abs and emergency brake lights came on. car braked rapidly, even though foot was on accelerator and not touching the brake pedal. forced car to almost a complete stop. this same sequence of events happened three times within 30 minutes. pulled car into parking lot and called honda service dept. they had never heard of this happening and car was towed in to run diagnostics. service dept drove car around for over three days and was unable to duplicate issue. they had some ideas to cause, but since they couldn't get it to repeat, could not fix anything. *tr
Yesterday was the most recent occurance of a problem that has been ongoing (but random, not constant) since september. we purchased the car in july. the pilot has been slamming on the brakes randomly by itself. it has happened while i gently applied brakes and also while i've been accelerating. the first couple times it happened there were no lights on my dash but then the vsa light came on. it went off again after turning the car off and back on. i had my brakes, pads, and rotors changed and the brake lines flushed. since then no lights have been on. then yesterday, very suddenly, the car began slamming on the brakes. it happened while i was turning into a shopping center and if there had been a car behind me i'm sure i would have caused and accident because the sudden braking was so severe. i coasted for a bit, tried to reapply the brakes gently and the car broke again throwing me forward. in total, it "stopped short" about 5/6 times before i was able to get to a parking spot. it happened while both braking and also trying to accelerate. when the brakes are applied by the car, it is accompanied by a loud rumbling sound and sensation. something similar to going high speed over a rumble strip for a long time. no lights are on my dash now and i was able to drive the car home without incident. driving my car is like playing russian roulette. most of the time it drives great and i love it, and then out of the blue the car brakes at inappropriate times and intensity. it feels like driving with an instructor who suddenly slams on the brakes regardless of what you may be doing. *tr
While driving a short distance away from my home the car's brakes locked up on their own. the next 1/4 mile while trying to reach a safe place to pull over the brakes would lock and unlock without warning. once pulled over and noticed the vsa light was illuminated. after then reading the owners manual i followed the instructions to turn the vehicle off and then back on. at this point the vsa light was off and i was able to drive back home without another incident. very concerned to drive vehicle again since if this were to happen on the highway or major road an accident would be likely. i have two children 2 and 4 years of age and this is the vehicle we use to get them around. thank you for your time and review of this issue. *tr
Driving on the highway at approximately 45 mph, my honda pilot abruptly pulled to the left. it felt like the anti lock brakes actuated. the vsa and triangle light illuminated. the pilot was pulled off the highway where it stopped. the ignition was turned off and on an the condition cleared. *tr
I was driving under slightly wet conditions at a fairly low speed (approx. 25 - 30 mph) and the car seemed, momentarily, as if the left front tire had gone flat and an indicator light with a triangle and an exclamation point and the vsa light simultaneously came on. i pulled over, checked the tire, turned the car off, restarted it and everything was fine for the rest of that day. the next morning, i experienced the same thing after the car had sat all night. after turning it off and back on, the indicator and vsa lights were out, but then came back on less than 30 minutes later while idling. the weather conditions this day were cold, but dry. i made an appointment and took the car to leith honda. i experienced the same condition while driving it to the dealer. the service advisor told me that there was no indication of a problem and the car's computer didn't indicate that the vsa had even been on. i picked the car up that night, after they had closed, and experienced the problem less than 15 minutes after i left the dealer. i then experienced it again the next day, after a cold start, and then again today, also after a cold start, but this time while idling. this is a scary and potentially dangerous situation and there are lots of reports about this problem floating around the internet. my particular experiences haven't been as bad (yet) as others have described, but the symptoms are the same (front brakes momentarily locking and steering pulling, in my case, to the left). *tr
