Brake Loud Noise Problems of Acura MDX

As I was driving in a parking lot, I went to apply my brakes as I am turning my car. The brakes felt hard all of a sudden even though I barely applied pressure. The break petal had a grinding sound and applied extreme pressure to break my car by itself. It felt as if my car was being thrown from side to side. This happened several times in parking lots. This has also happened about 3 times on the highway. While driving and going down a small hill on the highway I barely applied the break but the car break felt hard and weird as I barely pressed it. It felt and sounded like a grinding loud noise and cause my car to pull very hard to the right as if it was going to throw me off the highway. Thankfully each of those few times I was driving around 30 mph. Each occasion the vsa light came on and/or started blinking. I have taken my car to the gary force Acura dealership in brentwood, TN on August 9, 2019. They proceeded to do breakdown of my car and told me I needed a new wiring harness and capacitor that would cost over $1500. They told me my car wasn't included in the recall that was issued on March 13, 2013. My vsa light continues to stay on and I still am experiencing these problems. I can not afford these parts for my car and feel that Acura should include my vehicle in this recall. I fear for the safety of myself, my husband, and my 17 year old daughter as she has started driving and using our Acura Mdx 2006. Nhtsa recall 13v-092 mfr campaign id s89 recall date 3/13/2013.

Drove the vehicle (22,000 miles) on the highway through death valley in September with temperature about 105 f. On the downward side of a pass on hwy 395 and was driving about 45 mph, came into a view area and used the brakes. The vehicle violently shook with a loud noise engaged also used the emergency brake and it continued to roll forward. I did get it stopped and it sat for about 15 minutes while I was out taking pictures. Got back in and slowly started down the road and there was a very small feel of vibration within the next 10 minutes and then it was normal again. Since it wasn¿t an immediate issue after I got back didn¿t immediately take it to the dealer as it wasn¿t been used. The dealer is 115 miles away so it takes a schedule to turn it in. On 3 December did take it in and reported the problem they came up with the problem as brake pulsation with rotors that need to be resurfaced. What occurred was more than pulsating brakes since it has not happened again and if it was just that it should still stop, as necessary.
