TRAVELING 45-60 MILES PER HOUR, VSA LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, NO WARNING NO BRAKE LIGHTS NOTHING, VSA RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED 3 TIMES NOW, ALONG WITH YAW RATE SENSOR. AFTER REPAIRS DONE AGAIN ON 07/28/2015 LASTED UNTIL 09/09/2015 WHEN TRAVELING 45 MILES PER HOUR AND VEHICLE STOPPED AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THESE DIFFICULTIES ?

WHEN I SLOW DOWN FROM GOING HIGHER THEN 40 MILES PER HOUR MY PILOT SHUDDERS BETWEEN 35 AND 40. IT QUITS AT ABOUT 35 BUT IT STARTED HAPPENING A YEAR AGO AND DOES IT EVERY TIME I DRIVE NOW. I HAVE READ ON LINE OF OTHER PILOTS DOING THE SAME THING. SEEMS TOME THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AS WELL AS A SAFETY ONE IF MY TRANSMISSION QUITS BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER AS A DEALER ONCE TOLD ME. I DON'T WANT TO PAY THE COSTS OF A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT. I AM GETTING AIRBAG RECALL FIXED THIS WEEK I PLAN TO ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
