2008 Honda Odyssey Electronic stability control Problems

“All the sudden since l~2 weeks, my car have solid vsa sign on dash board that stays on all the time..... I shaw recall on the year model but my car is not included....I need to know what's going on?....as of now my car runs ok-no issues....”

“The vsa light has been on and off for about two weeks, but user manual says it is okay for normal driving . When I was driving about 40-45 MPH, the vsa lights was on. I kept driving normally. Then we I tried to apply brake to slow down, the brake light turned on. After I released the brake, the car seemed to applied brake on itself even harder. It happened many times during the past few weeks and this time I definitely felt it.”

“As I accelerated onto the road, my Odyssey braked hard and suddenly. The vehicle behind me, also accelerating, jerked and swerved around me to avoid collision (this seen in rear view mirror). I pulled over and stopped, restarted and listened to the engine, and looked for indicator lights. I resumed driving only to have the sudden braking recur a mile up the road. At that point I spoke with my husband on the phone and turned off the automatic braking system. No further incidents so far.”

“In february 2008, I purchased a new Honda Odyssey minivan for my family. In the spring of 2010, I began to experience the following problem: after making a turn (right or left),during acceleration, the Odyssey's brakes will automatically engage, immediately slowing the van down. When this happens, the vehicle decelerates from 55mph to 20mph in seconds, engaging the shoulder harness of our seat-belts. Over the past three years, this has happened at least seven to ten times at various speeds and in various seasons of the year. I have returned the van to Honda at least four times. …”

“My husband, myself and my 3 children (ages 7, 4, and 1) were coming home from the phillies game at approximately 10:30 pm saturday, september 7th, 2013. Upon entering the on ramp for a major roadway, my husband began accelerating to approximately 50 MPH. He had his foot on the gas pedal, when the van braked spontaneously. In a matter of seconds, our speed decreased from 50 to 25-30. Our seatbelts all locked as we were lunged forward. There was a car directly behind us, who had to swerve into another lane to avoid rear ending us. It was as if someone slammed on the brakes, however no one did. …”
