While driving, the car feels as though it skips when the accelerator is pressed, then when stopped at a light, the engine momentarily "dies", the general warning signal and the vsa/ABS/airbag/brake lights come on and then the engine snaps back on. I took it to the dealer and they retrieved failure codes in the ABS control module: yaw rate sensor failure; sensor cluster failure. The dealer reset the codes, could not duplicate the issue and told me to come back if it does it again. My car is not safe to drive and has been parked since 6/1/17. I contacted honda and was assigned a case number, but have not spoken to anyone since filing the complaint. After researching the symptoms on the internet, I discovered several other people having the same issue. When I researched the codes, I discovered that the federal safety agency had honda recall the 2005 pilot, acura mdx and acura rls. I have a video of it happening but am uploading screenshots. But I am more than happy to provide the video, the same video I showed the dealer.

Under acceleration,... And only under acceleration,... The 2005 cr-v... "torque-steers"... To the right! The harder the acceleration,... The harder it pulls to the right!... If this car was being driven by a person that was not paying proper attention to their driving... They would definitely have an accident!... The car would go to the right and go off the road,.. Or hit anything that was to their right!.. I.e. Another car, pedestrian,... Tree,... Etc. This problem may very well have existed from day one,... However it has virtually always been driven... "gently"... For best fuel mileage.. It was only after a mechanic replaced a faulty "anti-lock braking-system module" that this was discovered. After the ABS module was replaced, it was test-driven. (I.e.) accelerate, then brake,... Repeat. Under this harder than normal acceleration, the torque-steer was discovered. Note: (1.) vehicle wheel alignment is good... (2.) tires are all properly inflated... (3.) at a constant/ steady speed,... And during braking... The car always goes straight! (4.) it only pulls hard to the right during acceleration... The greater the acceleration... The harder it pulls to the right! (5.) this car has not been involved in any sort of accident.. Attacked any curbs,... Hit any serious potholes... Etc.

Vehicle stability or vsa sight and ABS light came on at the same time. Honda dealer advised me that the repair would cost me $2337 dollars to repair. I would think that a recall would be in order for this safety related and stability related problem!

I am the original owner of the well maintained vehicle, a 2005 honda crv with 56,781 miles currently, and no longer covered by any warranty. At @ 55,500 miles,the car had the ABS and vsa lights come on spontaneously on the dashboard display which indicated that they were not functional. They would not turn off. The car was taken to its regular service dealership, economy honda in chattanooga,tn and the problem was diagnosed (free of charge) as a failure of the ABS/vsa modulator (computer). Cost to repair was @ $2,400.00 (@ $1800 for the part, balance labor). They said it was o.k. To drive but it had no anti-lock brakes or vsa. Because this was a safety issue, an unusual occurrence and very expensive to repair, I contacted the district honda customer service (case # n012011-03-1501146) and explained the problem. They were most helpful and courteous. They recorded the complaint and after 3 days honda called and agreed to share 50% of the cost to repair. The crv was repaired on march 29,2011 at the same dealership with my cost share of $1206.79. In my internet search on the problem, I found at least 55 instances (USA, ca, and eu) of the same ABS/vsa problem and cost to repair on one blog I found. All vehicles were 2005 and 2006 honda crvs.

Abs problem - sacred to drive when it snows I have a 2006 honda crv and honda accord. The problem is more prominent on the crv. When there is snow on the road, ABS kicks in and the car does not stop when braking, even when the speed is only 10mph. This happens more if coming down a gradient. The gradient can be very little. This really scares me as I cannot do anything to prevent it. I never had such a problem with my 16 year old honda civic, which didn't have an ABS system.. I do agree, that the owners manual says about this. But I don't understand, why the ABS has to come online even at very low speeds. Abs in effect only increases accidents. We were very lucky so far, that we never had a crash, but were very close to make an accident.

On several occasions, my ABS and vsa light would come on and you would hear the brake making rattling noise. Then the light would shut off and it would be good for a couple of days or a few hours. The lights came on for the last time and stayed on. Also the brake went all though way to the floor and it felt like the steering wasn't controllable. The car went to the dealership ct and they found out that it needed a new yaw sensor. Since I have had it back fixed it has not happened since. I suggest that anyone who has these issues call your dealership and have them run the computer diag. Test on the car. The service manager at the ct dealership said that some of the earlier '05's needed new modulars, to fix this problem...
