Driving on city street 1 block from entering freeway I felt a strange grabbing and vibration type sensation from my 2005 MDX. A few feet further the car felt like I had stepped on brakes and gas at the same time and literally stopped in the middle of the street. The car behind swerved and barely missed me. I managed to get the vehicle to the side of the road and called Acura roadside assistance. Had I been on the freeway this would have caused a multiple car collision the roadside assistance was wonderful but I feel that since I only have 70,000 miles on this car; this should not have happened and the locking of the wheels at any speed is unacceptable. The repair was a replacement of the modulator assembly ABS/vsa at a cost of $$1653. I just keep wondering what would have happened had I been on the freeway driving 70 miles per hour.
