Vehicles brakes malfunctioned while driving, causing accident where injuries took place. Driver applied brake but pedal went all the way to the floor with no stop. Instead of stopping the vehicle accelerated from 20mph to 65mph on its own and there was no way of stopping it. Emergency break was then tried, when this did not work, car was put in neutral in hopes that this will slow down cars unwarranted acceleration. It was when vehicle hit a pole causing tire to mangle which caused vehicle to stop, had it not been for this collision with the pole the car would not have stopped even with all the other attempts. All star honda 414‑269‑1399 in milwaukee, wi was called to inquire about what might cause break malfunction and acceleration, mechanic by the name of belal indicated that there have been a lot of problems with the break lines of this particular year, make and model. He mentioned that if break line has pressure in it it might cause the line to burst therefore causing the breaks not to work. He could not give an explanation for the acceleration, although other mechanics have told me it can be a number of factors from the throttle position sensor to something electrical or mass air flow sensor etc. Police accident report j9l0xblhkf

Mileage: 133,000- started my car at home and couldn't get it out of park. Tried turning it off and then on again while stepping on the breaks. Break petal release and hit the floor. Had to tow vehicle to shop. Shop found that entire under body (sub-frame) was rusted, rotted/ leaking. Brake and fuel lines totally rotted along with entire under body, especially noted- located on the front passenger side near the strut assembly, beneath the air conditioner drain. Total cost over $2,000. Also, paint pealing/ rusting off. Started at 60,000 miles. After reading hundreds of complaints online regarding these same issues, and finding that honda is not taking responsibility (air conditioner is located right above engine) I have decided not to spend another time on this car and will never purchase another honda for as long as I live. I guess people have to die before honda will admit model flaw. I'm so lucky I wasn't driving when my breaks went out.

My mother had picked up my niece from her school and was waiting for my nephew and his friend to get out of high school. When ready to go, the car was difficult to start. Took about 10 min to get the car to start. After the car started, went into reverse and backed out of the parking space. Put the car in drive and it "chugged" a couple of times. Then the car accelerated unexpectedly. She was unable to slow the car down by applying the brakes. The car traveled 460 feet accelerating the whole time.the approximate speed of the car was between 60-80 MPH. At the end of the parking lot, she turned left and the car hit a curb launching them into a pole that holds up the chain link fencing around the school. They went thru the fencing and into the block wall behind it coming to rest there. All 4 occupants were seen by a doctor and released that day. My mother has numerous cuts and bruises. My nephew shoulder and back are hurting him. My niece has scrapes on the right arm from the block wall. My nephews friend has a black eye.

Vehicle developed leaks in brake line and fuel line in region below floor pan. This was due to rust-through. Service advisor informed me that this condition has been showing up lately, and showed me an assembly that had been recently replaced on a similar vehicle. Vehicle was impounded by dealer because of potential total failure of systems. Vehicle required almost two weeks to repair because honda had a national backorder on the replacement parts. This suggests to me that there may be a sudden demand for these parts.

I own a 2001 honda accord ex v6. The brakes have been making a scrubbing sound when I stop. It is continuously doing this. I took it to the honda place and they were to busy to check the brakes and rotors I paid 200$ dollars. What a ripe off. Going back again and they will check the problem or I am calling american honda. I will not buy another honda again.

Our 2001 honda accord had the same type of brake problem as the recent honda odyssey and elements recall problem. This occurred during cold weather and began about one year after we had extensive brake repairs done. One cold mornings the brakes had almost no "feel" and required us to try to jam the pedal to the floor to slow or stop the car. The local honda dealer could never find the reason for the problem.
