| I am writing because my 2006 honda pilot is trying to stop faster than i am pressing the brake pedal. this seems to be the braking system trying to stop as if i was slamming on my brakes instead of a controlled stop at a red light or stop sign. the motion of the braking feels as though the brake caliper is pushing on the brakes to hard. *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. unforuneatly 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. | |||

| 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 | |||
