When you apply brakes above 30 mph steering wheel shakes and brakes pulse.dtc 84-1 and ABS system test says that the vsc/ABS loses communication above 30 mph with no number code shown.

I can be driving like on freeway and car runs good but as soon as I either stop or get ready to turn on streets I get a vsa light coming on and check engine. I have followed what the manufactures mentions in book to turn of car and then turn back on. Then I get sometimes the engine light to stay on or it does stay on. So I have noticed this happening often when I got less than 50 car with like shake and engine will not allow for car to move in gear.

My vsa warning light suddenly came on while inflating my tires parked in my garage. I ran a code scan on it and nothing came up.if Honda has a recall for this problem with their 2008 Honda Odyssey, why didn't they include the Pilot as well, both have the same chassis.

Driving 10-30 mph brakes engaged without depressing the brake pedal. Vehicle shuttered as brakes engaged. After brake engaged vsa warning light came on. Turned the vehicles off and vsa warning light went off. Continued to drive and the same series of events occurred again. In driving the vehicle approximately 5 miles over two days this event has occurred 6 times. Note: This issue appears to be similar to complaints in prior year Pilot.

Electronic stability control. While driving home from my family christmas party, I turned a small corner at 15 mph and my breaks locked up. The vehicle will not go over 20mph now. It happened 4 times to me yesterday. 4 times. Each time I was shoved forward, and lost momentary control of the vehicle almost hitting a curb. It happened 3 more times on the road. Each time with cars near me. This is a huge safety issue when there are kids in the vehicle. I do not have a thousand or more to put into my car right now. Nor can I risk my life for a vehicle that I love.

The electric cords in my car has been bitten by rodents for 5-6 times in the past year. Every time my car could be started or the warning lights are on. My car is parked in open parking lot. But this kind of problems just happened to my car, not my neighbors'. and it also happened to my friends who have the same model. I believe there are designing problems which are very dangerous.
