Defect investigation EA13002 has 1 related recall NHTSA campaign id number: 13V092000 my car was not experiencing any problems at the time of this recall but I did take it in to have the service completed in June 2013. A couple of months ago my car started acting exactly as described in the complaint. While driving anywhere from 45-50 mph, the brakes will engage on their own, jerking the car to the side and the vsa warning light as well as the sh-AWD drive light will come on in the car. This happens on a consistent basis, at least every 3 days, sometimes every day. Apparently the problem still exists because the recall fix has not prevented this from continuing to happen. I took my car in to the local Acura dealership for diagnosis and was told the yaw rate sensor is giving poor information to the ECU and stability control system and I am supposed to pay $1050 to have a new yaw rate sensor installed. I do not understand why I would be responsible for paying for this when it is a defect and can cause injury to me or other passengers on the road.
