2000 Honda Accord: brake failure

Filed Jul 14, 2013 · Acceleration, Brakes · 112,270 miles · MI · crash

I was approaching a traffic light at a speed of about 35 MPH driving my honda accord 2000 v6 on july 13, 2013 approximately @ 2.00 pm est. I was in the right lane and all of a sudden my car accelerated on its own increasing the speed to approximately 60 MPH. Shocked by the random acceleration, I applied brakes to stop the vehicle. After stomping on the pedal it was apparent that the brakes did not work . Therefore in order to avoid going towards the traffic I decided to drive into the woods on to my right side. The car came to a stop inside a wooded area 45 yards from the edge of the right lane knocking off all the trees on its way. It deployed both airbags in the front. The vehicle is completely damaged ( totaled). There was no injuries to me or any others in this crash. I firmly believe & suspect there was some malfunction in the vehicle's speed control system that resulted in this mishap. It would be a great help if you could assist in contacting honda motor company.

We just got in the car after valet parking returned it to us. After the first brake application at about 20 MPH the brakes went to the floor. We found a parking space and called for a tow to our honda dealer. The dealer called later to say that the brake lines had rusted through and could not be driven. This car has been serviced at this dealer since new and had just had the required 150,000 mile inspection with no mention of a problem. In 61 years of automobile ownership, I have never experienced such a problem. I think that this is a safety issue and not a normal wear and tear issue such as a leaky brake cylinder.
