I was driving on a city street when I was coming to get ready to stop I started to break, at that time my brake system felt like I was slipping on black ice you could say . But the road was dry ! My vehicle wouldn't stop normal I somehow by the grace of god got it pulled to the side of the street ! My ABS and vsa and the triangle with ( ! ) witch is orange also all came on . I shut my car off ! And had it towed home .. I have had people look and show me behind my two front tires that the speed sensors are on both sides deterrated and the bolts are missing that connect everything in place . I have looked up and seen recalls on this same situation I am now going threw !

Abs kicked in when braking on an icy downhill. This is the first time ABS has ever engaged on this car. After releasing the brake pedal, brakes became extremely soft and travel much farther towards to the floor before brakes engage. Pumping them does not return brakes to normal operation. Research uncovered a technical service bulletin (tsb) with honda/acura aware of this problem. Acura service bulletin 07041. It appears this should be a recall given the danger this poses (loss of braking power). Recommendation is to replace $900+ vsa modulator. Ridiculous.

2006 acura tl with 49000 miles. The brake pedal suddenly became very mushy and had to slam the brake pedal to the floor to stop the car. It did finally. Took it to a local automotive place and they insisted it just need a brake flush. Done...the brakes were still not up to standard but better. A week later the brake pedal did the same thing. Again afraid the brakes would not work as pedal on the floor started pumping brakes and coasted to a stop on the shoulder. Started stomping on the pedal and they seemed to gain pressure ,scared to drive it, but did and got it to an acura dealer. Abs repair - no warranty- $2100.00 bill to fix. This should have never gone out on a car with 49500 miles. When it does go out ...it is very dangerous.
