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

I have been complaining to honda for over 3 years about the SRS module system. I have taken my car to about 2 to 3 different honda dealers. They offered to replace a sensor and some other parts related to this system for $600 but they do not guaranteed those fixing will solve the SRS problem plus they also are not sure if in a case of an accident the air bag will deploy or work right. Why paid for this repair went they can't guaranteed it will work. Honda is very missleading. They should be order to issue a recall on this SRS system. What could be more of a safety issue than this problem. Are they waiting for people to get hurt due to not deployment of the air bags due to SRS system issues. Other car companies are order to do recalls on brakes failure, seat belts, honda is not being an honest customer oriented company.

On three different occasions my brakes have completely failed during the same circumstances: in each instance I am driving highway speeds, I brake to a stop because of traffic, when traffic stops I let off my brakes and the car starts moving forward. If I need my brakes immediately I find I have absolutely no brakes. The car doesn't even slow down. The second time this happened I rear ended a car that was three car lengths in front of me because I had no brakes! The other two occasions happened exactly in the same way, but the cars ahead of me started moving and I was able to keep from hitting them.
