...but the needed spare part won't be available until next spring, so...

Kinja'd!!!

" owners are getting specific instructions on how to start and drive their vehicles to avoid a problem " and specifically: " keeping the front wheels pointed straight ahead for the first several feet of travel. If that's not possible, such as when pulling away from a curb, Honda provides additional steps to take. "

That. Is. Just. Crazy.

Again, Honda and Toyota continuing to coast by on the reputation for superior reliability and build quality while no longer providing superior reliability and build quality

i think a big part of this is that, as cars get tons more complicated, the systems involved get tons more complicated. this particular incident seems like a very odd thing that you think we'd have been hearing about for a while were it common.

It's the stability control inadvertently actuating the brakes because of a faulty yaw sensor.

Honda's recommendation, turn off the stability control.

Honda owner's reaction: There's an off button?
