After stopping at a red light, in the city of tucson, arizona, I turned right on a green light and heard a loud bang coming from the front of my car. I did not know what had happened. The car was not going very fast since I was turning from a dead stop. I coasted into the service station on the right side of my car in order to park the car. When I tried to apply the brakes nothing happened. Placed my right foot on the brake pedal twice and the brakes did not respond. I coasted into the back of a truck that was parked. Two witnesses told me that the driver of a truck had run a red light and hit me. The police were called, but would not make a report. In tucson, az, unless traffic is blocked or someone is hurt the police will not respond to an accident. This took place during daylight around 7:15 am. The brakes worked later at the repair shop. They did not work immediately after the I was hit.

When decelerating while merging onto a highway at approximately 30mph, the car suddenly suddenly became difficult to control. All at once, the car's control and steering could not be easily maneuvered and electric power system (eps) indicator light flashed. There was no warning nor indication that the steering was compromised. I managed to regain control of the car while allowing it to coast. The steering will was stiff and large amounts of turning did not not control the car accurately. I coasted to a stop in a nearby parking lot and put the car in park and turned off the ignition. When the car was restarted, the eps light was not present and the steering control was reestablished. Thinking this was possible due to a glitch, I continued driving for about two miles when the system once again went out and the eps light signaled at the same time. I was not able to move the car off of the highway, but was able to stop at a traffic light to put the car in park and turn it off to reset the system. I was able to then drive the car home. The next morning, while driving to the car dealership, the steering became uncontrollable and a basic turn could not be made when the car was at a low speed. I explained that the car could not be safely operated due to this issue. The dealership called hours later to notify me that they were ordering a new power steering rack. When I inquired as to what the issue was I was informed that the code simply recommended the system to be reset, but "they did not feel safe" allowing me to drive the car without replacing the system. My car has approximately 16,000 miles on it and I have only had the car for one year. It was purchased from the dealership with 5,000 miles on it as the manager had been driving the car for approx. 7 months. The car had the 15,000 mile service completed just last month in addition to an oil change.
We financed a 2017 honda accord sport CVT on july 17, 2017. We have noticed various issues with the lag/hesitation upon accelerating as well as braking and steering. We searched online to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issues and found multiple complaints revolving around this model vehicle. Less than 11,000 miles, we noticed the front passenger brakes were getting really low and wearing unevenly compared to the other three, I.e. Screeching; which was odd and concerning since it had 11,000 miles and only one side was worn down. December 2017, the passenger front brakes became so low, when applying the brakes there was a metal on metal, grinding noise. We visually inspected the brakes and could see the brake pads on the passenger side were almost non-existent, as well as the wear on the rotors. We took the car to the dealership where we purchased the vehicle on 12-12-17 and they claimed the brake pads were wearing evenly/normal; the other service station at this location agreed that its not normal for the car the have less than 12000 miles for the first brake pads to be changed let alone worn unevenly. The concern wasn't the brake pads being changed, it is the mechanical function of the piston and caliper was causing the problem, or another underlying issue; having less than 12,000 miles isn't right. They didn't care, thought we wanted brakes changed for free. We filed a claim with honda regarding the safety and wear of the brakes. The dealership replaced the brake pads,turned the rotators. The problem is still there and the piston getting "hung" may be the underlining reason for why the car lags when trying to accelerate. If it is depressed, its possible the brakes are wearing down while accelerating. Safety is our first concern, and we feel there is a deeper problem that should be looked at. Will speak in further detail regarding these and other issues.
I was driving on the highway with the cruise control on and the vehicle apply the brakes without anything been in front of it. It's scary because any one could rear end you. Took it to honda where the vehicle was purchase and they was taking about realigning the sensor.
Collision detection system falsely goes off on a regular basis due to opposing traffic. Slams brakes to floor, overriding accelerator- has happened in the middle of an intersection twice and on a two way straightaway with no vehicle in my lane. I've had the car for 1 month and almost been in 3 accidents due to this faulty system which I am now deactivating. I've driven vehicles with these before (ford) and it never went off like this- the system is defective and dangerous.
