The brakes failed while driving. While driving as a slow speed (fortunately) I applied the brakes and all the dash faults came on and the braked failed to work. I had to use the e-brake to stop. I turned the car off, back on, the faults cleared and the brakes work. This could become a deadly crash if it occurs at high speed and the need to stop abruptly happens.

Experienced brake failure on april 21, 2019 while driving on the highway. Traffic was slowing down on the highway due to construction and I went to apply the brake, but the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and several warning lights flashed on the dashboard. I managed to get off on an exit ramp and slowed the car down by turning the car off and using the parking brake. I managed to pull into a nearby parking lot and waited for a tow truck to take me and the car to the dealership. On april 22, 2019 the dealership stated that the problem was due to the brake pedal simulator. This part had to be order which took 7 days for the repair to occur. I picked up the car on april 30, 2019 and drove back to work using the highway (detroit to lansing). Upon exiting the ramp to work, the brakes failed again. Several warning flashed on the dashboard that I have attached to this complaint: brake system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem and adaptive cruise control problem. I was not using cruise control when I was driving back to work. The car was towed again back to the dealership the within hours that I picked it up. The dealership is now claiming that the tandem motor angle cylinder will need to be replace and I will have to pay another $100.00 (deductible) to fix the problem.

There have been three instances of total brake failure. Initial instance occured on vehicle startup, a number of errors were given including "aadaptive cruise conrtol problem","collission mitigation system problem","road departure mitigation system problem" and "brake system problem". When I put the car in drive it immediately began moving forward. Car was towed to dealer where honda blamed the issue on the undercaoting causing components to overheat. This was october 2018 in philadelphia. Replaced brake system and removed undercoat on affected areas. Second instance occured in february 2019 it had stopped raining but road was still wet and had puddles. Driving downtown, at a yellow light brakes completely failed, I ran the light and was able to stop with emergency brake. Car was giving the same set of errors. This time restarting the car made errors go away. Brought to the dealer, they said they did a software update but could not replicate the problem so did nothing else. Third instance was february 2nd, while driving about 30-40 MPH, again either after rain had stopped or still had a slight drizzle. This time I saw the errors while driving before I needed to break and recognized the issue. Managed to use emergency brake to pull over. Again restarting the car cleared the issue, I have not brought back to the dealer yet.
