FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY 1995 HONDA PILOT DECIDEDED ON IT'S OWN TO APPLY THE LEFT FRONT BRAKES ON A SMOOTH STRAIGHT TWO WAY ROAD. THIS PULLED THE CAR ACROSS THE DIVIDER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT ONLY LASTED A SECOND OR TWO SO I WAS ABLE TO STEER BACK INTO THE CORRECT LANE BEFORE HITTING ANYTHING. IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT WEEK, AND EVENTUALLY THE VSA LIGHT STARTED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE CAR STARTED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANT $1000 TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE YAW SENSOR. IS THIS THE SAME YAW SENSOR INVOLVED IN THE KIA SPORTAGE RECALL (NUMBER 05V120000)? WHY DOES THE VSA STILL TRY TO OPERATE WITH A FAILED SENSOR?
