3 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2011

The issue at hand regarding the vsa (vehicle stability) for which a recall had already been issued. My vehicle was taken in and received the recall. This however did not resolve the issue which is a serious issue many others I have spoken with face. The "yaw rate sensor" malfunctions causing similar but more dangerous situations than the "wiring harness" Acura claims to have resolved the vsa issue. There is a loud grinding noise, the left front tire seems to brake very hard pulling my vehicle into oncoming traffic and nearly flipping the vehicle the on 7/28/15 at 65 mph. The situation is extreme as others are experiencing. It is not a brief and non drastic pull. If both hands are not on the wheel at the time of malfunction the vehicle may very well flip over. I took my vehicle into the dealership explaining the issue figuring the issue was linked to the recall; however, it is not. The yaw rate sensor is causing my car to think I'm spinning out which immediately stops sending power to the front left tire causing my car to veer hard to the left. They wanted $75 for an inspection as well as $1200 to resolve the issue. This seems like an extremely dangerous issue for there not to be a recall. Please look into other who have experienced the issue.
