Problems with 2006 Honda Pilot SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda pilot. while driving 40 mph, the wheels seized when the brake pedal was depressed. the vehicle was towed to honda windward (45-671 kamehameha hwy, kaneohe, hi 96744, (808) 247-8544) where it was diagnosed that the abs modulator needed to be repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 89,000.

The vehicle stability assist system may unexpectedly apply the brakes, causing the vehicle to slow without warning at highway speeds. vsa control module may have been damaged and recalled in other honda pilot years. this malfunction can cause intermittent minor application of the brakes or if the driver were to apply the brakes while the vsa is malfunctioning, the vehicle may come to an abrupt stop. *tr

I was driving at 30 mph my honda pilot 2006 when suddenly the truck accelerated on its own , that was truly surprising to me , the speed was over 100mph , i remember stepping on the brake and the truck did not stop , i remain shocked and i could not react, everything happened in seconds and i was trying not to kill someone i lost the control and crashed into a big metal pole. *tr

I just bought a used honda pilot after having a baby, needing a bigger and safer car for my kids. 5 days after buying my car the vsa light came on, so i took it to the dealership and they said they fixed it.3 weeks later it came back on and as i was driving with my kids in the car all of a sudden full brakes were applied for no reason. my foot was not even on the brake pedal, thank god no one was behind me.i had no idea why that had just happened. so i went online to research what the vsa system, not thinking the braking had anything to do with the vsa system, then i come across a honda forum and find out this has happened to alot of other pilot owners, and that the braking is connected to the vsa system. this is a dangerous hazard and should be addressed asap before someone gets killed. unfortunately alot of people tailgate and if this were to have happened on the freeway it could have been deadly. i will also be writing a letter to honda to see if there any kind of recourse for us pilot owners. *tr

I have a 2006 honda pilot which i believe has a similar problem as toyota's recent recalls about sticky acceleration. i am the first owner of this suv and noticed the problem during the very first year itself. that time my vehicle failed to stop on a stop sign. the problem i faced was when i applied brake, the car didn't stop and it continued in the acceleration mode and finally stopped after crossing the stop sign. i had reported this problem immediately to the honda dealer, from where i purchased the vehicle. they inspected the vehicle and returned to me saying that they didn't find any problem. in fact they laughed at me that i didn't apply the brake properly. the dealer didn't document my concern. after that till now (almost 4 years) i am experiencing this kind of problem quite often. because of this problem, i have to always make sure to brake an additional 2 or 3 feet ahead of my proposed stop as the vehicle may not stop where i think it should stop. if it does not stop, i brake harder and at that time i hear the acceleration is still on. i always ignored this problem mainly because this happens quite randomly like maybe a couple of times every month. i have not been able to figure out what exactly triggers this. recently after reading about the toyota recall, i have a feeling that my vehicle also has the similar problems and i notified the american honda company. they actually didn't show much interest in addressing my problem mainly because my vehicle already has 52k miles and the warranty period (60k miles) will end soon. should i be really concerned? are there any independent service engineers who can take a look at my vehicle? *tr

After driving my leased 2003 pilot for 3 years, i knew how it handled on turns and how it stopped in emergencies. barely 100 miles into my 2006 lease, i had to make an emergency stop on a rainy road due to an accident in front of me, and rear-ended a car when my abs system failed to stop in time, despite the fact that my 2003 pilot would have stopped at least 6 feet before the next vehicle. knowing my 2003's stopping distance when abs kicks in, i was flabbergasted that the new car didn't come close to stopping in time. i noticed one time since that the abs system just doesn't compare to the 2003, and is extremely dangerous as a result. another dangerous thing it has done twice is fishtail if i accelerate going into a turn or curve. the dealers service dep't used all kinds of computers to test the brakes, and took it out for a test drive, and said it functioned fine, and maybe i'm just not used to a 2wd. i told them i didn't want to drive this new car, it's not safe, and would rather hold on to my 2003 pilot. i know they think i'm crazy, but i'd rather be considered crazy than have my epitaph read, "i told you there was a problem." *jb
