Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2005 Honda Pilot

While I was driving approx 40 mph my 2005 Honda Pilot's brakes engaged on their own. The brakes stuck to the floor and the car jetted to the left into the median while stopping. During the event there was a loud groaning noise that was coming from the front end of the vehicle. I made my way into a gas station and turned off the vehicle. I restarted the car and proceeded home when it happened again 1/2 mile later at 30 mph, brakes to the floor,loud groaning sound. At this point I was terrified as my 3yr daughter was in the car and we were in the middle of rush hour. The vsa light popped on after the second event. Car was immediately taken to the shop where we were told by the technician who inspected and drove the vehicle that he was able to replicate the event 2x. They stated we had a problem w/the vsa or abs system and we had to take it to the Honda dealer. The technician also noted that when they hooked the car up to the computer there was a time when the abs system was reading "no data". The car was taken to Honda the next day and we were told we did not have a problem w/our abs or vsa system. They were also unable to replicate the problem. Honda concluded that my brake pads/rotors & tires needed replaced. The original shop we took it to stated our brakes and tires were fine and would not contribute to the problem we were having. We trustedhonda and completed the repairs they requested outside of the dealership. New brakes & tires on the vehicle and we have had 4 add. 'l incidents since these ?repairs? have been made. All of the info we received from the first shop that inspected the vehicle was relayed to Honda numerous times and they were adamant that we did not have a vsa or abs problem. Clearly they were wrong. We are taking it back to the dealer next Tuesday . The vehicle remains unsafe to drive and we are very displeased at how Honda is handling the situation.

The brakes in my 2005 Honda Pilot suddenly apply themselves. Over the past 4 years, this has happened to me 3 times when I tapped the brake pedal and once just driving down the road. My wife recently had it happen once to her just after taking off from a stop sign. It happened to me while driving down the road at between 40 and 50 miles per hour. I've seen this problem reported on other web sites. . . One was going 60 when it happened. Two Honda dealers did diagnostics and found nothing. They could not "reproduce the problem". . . No surprise since it's random! the last time (incident date below) my wife was out of town had the car towed to the second dealer. (the brake pads were replace by them but we've put less than 150 miles on it since then. ) I believe this is not related to the mechanics since it happens suddenly and unexpectedly under different conditions. . . But who knows.

The dealer replaced the brake pads and rotors; however, the failure continued to occur. The current mileage was 45000 and the failure mileage was 35000.
