Wheel sensor wires on 2011 honda pilot are exposed and unprotected under the vehicle which when damaged, disable anti-lock braking system (abs), vehicle stability assist (vsa), and the variable torque management (vtm-4) systems. exposed wires are prone to be cut or damaged by road debris and hazards. due to the wire being exposed, it was damaged and caused an out-of-pocket expense of approx. $266.00 to repair on a brand new vehicle with only 2,600 miles on it. this could have been easily avoided if the wire had been protected by a braided covering or metal tube. wires should not be exposed within the undercarriage of a vehicle, especially ones that are responsible for safety features. *tr
