Description of the problem | Brakes activating on their own. In early 2010 (around february/march), this problem occurred for the first time. My wife was traveling with our three kids and the brakes activated while traveling about 45 mph. She pulled over to a gas station. I was about 1 mile behind her in my vehicle and she called to let me know what happened. I pulled over at the gas station and had my wife and kids switch cars with me. My wife never turned the engine off when she stopped. I continued down the road and the brakes continued to activate 3 or 4 more times as a drove the van to the closest honda dealer (only about 2 miles from where the incident first occurred). Many months have gone by and the same thing happened on 11/8/2010 and 11/16/2010. On the 11/8/2010 incident, the brakes activated and the vsa indicator flickered and then stayed on. My wife was able to drive the van home. I drove the van to the dealer the following day - no incident. The dealer reported 8 codes indicated when hooked up to the computer, but all checked out ok. Happened again on 11/16 and no vsa light - dealer indicated no codes indicated when hooked up to the computer. Dealer has had the van since 11/16/2010 - we are afraid to drive it. The dealer says no problem can be found and they have not been able to duplicate the problem. |
