Approximately 5 weeks ago I was driving locally with my wife and 6 year old son in the car when without warning the brakes suddenly engaged causing the car to come to a sudden stop. The vsa warning light also came on. I pressed on the accelerator but car would not move. After pressing and pulling the brake pedal for several minutes I was able to get the brakes to release. Today I received a frantic call from my wife because as she was driving the car the brakes suddenly locked up while she was driving and caused the car to come to a sudden stop in the middle of the road. After this frightening experience she is understandably afraid to drive this car anymore. I did some research online and read other Honda CRV owners who have experienced the same problem. Honda has recognized this problem in their Pilot model and has recalled over 183,000 vehicles but has yet to recognize the same issue with the CRV model. The potential for a vehicle to brake unexpectedly causing the vehicle to come to a complete stop obviously poses a significant safety risk. Honda needs to recognize this defect is not limited to their Pilot model, but to all models which they manufacture that share the same or similar components as the Pilot model including their CRV and other models.

Driving at 65 mph on freeway and front wheels began to shimmy and vehicle slow down. Stepped harder on the accelerator and managed to get to the shoulder. Then managed to get the car up an exit ramp at which point the brakes locked up and car wouldn't move. Hauled the car to a dealer who said the brakes were "contaminated" and all parts need to be replaced, including the ABS module for $6,300. An independent auto repair indicated there was a firmware problem with the ABS module and readouts for the front wheel sensors(obd scanner). Independant repair shops say the dealer is the only one who has the equipment to deal with the ABS system.

The vehicle had all the lights on the dash illuminated. It lost its ABS and vehicle stability control. It did not cause any damage to us since the road was not that crowded. After that we always had to keep a safe distance. Got inspected at Honda showroom and they found that the vehicle stability modulator was not working and it would cost $2000 to have it fixed.
