2007 Honda Accord: brake failure

Filed Nov 4, 2015 · Acceleration, Brakes · 33,300 miles · NY · crash

While parking my 2007 honda accord in a residential area, I put it into reverse with my foot on the brake. The car suddenly accelerated on its own, and the brakes failed, causing the vehicle to crash into a parked car with enough force to move it about 3 feet, pushing it up over the curb and onto the sidewalk. A second parked vehicle was also damaged. With my foot still on the brake, I shifted into drive, and the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward at an alarming rate of speed for about one/tenth mile, where I was finally able to get the car to stop. The rear damage on my car was so extensive that the car was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. A police report was filed. Mileage on the vehicle was approximately 33,300 miles. I had kept this car regularly maintained. Because of this very serious safety issue, I will never purchase another honda....updated 12/03/15*bf

My son was driving my 2007 honda accord se on july 30, 2015. He crossed the parking lot of a college campus. As he was turning into another parking section the brakes failed and the power steering locked and failed and lost control hitting a pole. I'm devastated that something like this would happen. I've messaged honda with this information along with pictures. I've submitted the VIN, mileage, and pictures as they requested. I'm hoping honda looks into this matter. I've always maintained my car and there is no reason for multiple failures. I'm looking for my car to be replaced.

Getting off interstate 95 (ct), slowing down for stop sign, brakes failed. Shifted to park, pulled emergency brake, foot still on brakes to no avail. Bump car in front of me before stopping. No warning lights whatsoever. Called 911 and reported accident. Drove car the next day to nearest honda dealer in westport, ct. Explained accident to service technician. Was informed that they found air entering ABS modulator. They indicated that it was unsafe to drive. Had to order part and repair was completed on may 9th. Requested original service manager (mahwah honda, nj) of problem and asked to speak to a honda regional representative to discuss as to why no warning lights and may be caused by a defective modulator. As of today, have not received any feedback after numerous emails and telephone calls to mahwah honda. Seems like honda do not want hear about these problems. I requested and received the modulator that was originally in the car. Someone will get hurt if honda do not act on this problem. Honda forums shows many 2007 accord brake problems. Please help. Thank you.

Rear disc brake failure on 2007 honda accord se. No warning from wear indicators that a problem existed. The car was inspected just 1000 miles before and pads and rotors were good. Rotated tires two weeks before the failure occurred and the rotors and pads were fine. Noticed a grinding sound from the rear right side and investigated.
