Automatic Stability Control (asc) problems of the 2005 Honda Pilot

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?.
