When making a sharp turn on hot days the car makes a grinding noise like something is grabbing the tire. It slows the car, hands the steering wheel and then the VSA hazard light comes on. It is a recurring issue and mechanics have not been able to diagnose.

My 2005 Acura MDX has been driving great since we purchased it over a year ago. Recently the vsa light came on while driving around town and the vehicle stopped very abruptly when lightly applying the brakes. The light goes away and appears to reset when you turn off the vehicle. Now every time that the vehicle is driven I have to drive extra careful because I never know when the vsa light will come on again causing the vehicle to come to an abrupt stop. I am afraid to drive this car on the freeway because driving at high speeds of the light were to come on and the wheels were to lock up like they have been would be extremely dangerous because it would be difficult to control the vehicle skidding at freeway speeds.

I just purchased this vehicle from a used car dealership at the time had no light appearing. The vsa light has come on and I see it had a recall for this previously. I called the dealership to see if all recalls had been serviced and they indicated they had. I have a huge concern knowing this is still a problem and when I asked if they could repair it under the previous recall that appears to not have fixed the problem I was told I would have to pay for the repair. I sold my Honda Accord coupe for a 4 door thinking Honda/Acura products were safe and reliable. I have read further about recall processes and they don't always fix the problem but the dealership can state the recall was remedied. I have an infant and that is why I bought a 4 door. I really am concerned about the safety of this vehicle and I have researched and found others with the same scenerio in which they have serviced the recall and the vsa light comes on again only to be told it is a 2K fix that may not fix the problem. I really need some help at this point, I am driving my infant and would hate for the car to malfunction causing me to have an accident. Recall S87, S88, and S89. This light appears when the car is in motion.

Two days ago, my vehicle was running about 45mph on a sidestreet. An unexpected braking was experienced without me applying the brake, vsa light went on. I had experenced 3 times of unexpected braking, vsa light coming - for the same day. So I decided to change inspect the brakes. The brakes and rotors are still good but I decided to change them anyway. (front: Brake pads and rotors, rear: Brake pads only today, I was driving on a freeway just before 7am, with a speed of about 65mph, suddenly my vehicle made an expected braking without me pushing the brake. My vehicle almost went out of control for a second but I was able to handle it. I noticed that vsa light went on - but the road was clear, no bumps, no debris, just plain road.

While my vehicle was in motion the vsa light came on and my vehicle started slowing down and jumping like braking on it's own. Without my even touching my brake pedal. I was on the highway going about 40 miles and my 2005 Acura MDX did this. I almost got into an accident because a truck was coming behind me at about more or so 60 to miles. I had to literally veer off to the breakdown down line. This was very scary. Please find a way to correct this on this type of vehicle. I am so afraid to drive my car pass 40 miles anywhere now.

I am writing because I just received a safety recall notice from Acura relating to: NHTSA action number : EA13002. My daughter was involved in an accident (she's ok!) where she had to swerve to avoid an oncoming car that had drifted into her lane rounding a left hand bend. Our 2005 Acura MDX went out of control despite her attempts to control the vehicle, which she did after it had blown out two tires. Could her braking and swerving result in the subsequent over correction of our MDX and be the result of the vehicle stability assist control module malfunctioning as described in the recall notice from Acura.

The brake will apply on its own and the brake lights will not come on because you don't press the pedal which would trigger the brake switch to turn the brake lights on. This is a very serious issue as it has happened to me numerous times at high speed. Note I sent to Acura during the uncommanded brake issue, it describes the issue etc.. this is , I had brought my 2005 MDX which I bought new from you back in 2005 in for the uncommanded brake application issue on Feb 10th 2010. As you know when this issue happens the brake applies itself when my foot is on the gas pedal and sometimes the vsa and ! light come on and sometimes they do not. On the 10th I drove the car with you mechanic and we had a brief experience of the issue but because of traffic I had to apply the brake and when my foot was off of the brake it still applied itself and then released and then applied again without me touching the pedal. The most serious of the issues is when my foot is on the gas and the brake applies itself. On that day your mechanic did a bunch of tests from the service manual for dtc 66 & 68 including: -- "the jiggle" test to see if something was loose and would trigger a code -- battery test for voltage -- ground connection to body clean and reset -- vsa connector was taken off and put back on -- codes were reset there is more but the length is greater than allowable maximum of '1,901'.
