2019 Honda Civic: brake failure

Filed Apr 6, 2024 · Brakes, Suspension · CA

Brakes failed on vehicle almost causing me to collide with vehicle in front of me. Brakes Plus in Tempe checked Brakes and found them to be good. All the lights on the dash flash when attempting to start the vehicle. Vehicle will not start sometimes. The vehicle also leaves the lane when going over potholes and bumps on the road and handles badly.

Unattended acceleration . The car surged by itself. The brake did not work. The car jumped a curb and went into a building. There it made a whole and with such force broke through bricks. The car only has 2800 miles and I leased it in oct. 19. I was pulling into a parking spot when it happened.

I own a 6 speed manual sport coupe purchased on 5/30/19. On 2/10/20 I was stopped at a light on a slight downhill 15- 20' behind car in front. Shift was in neutral with my foot on brake pedal. After a while, my car started moving forward. I pushed harder on the brake pedeal but no response and coasted into rear of car. One person in each car and nobody injured. Fearful that brake failure would occur again, had car towed to local honda dealer where purchased. Receipt to me indicted they did diagnostic testing, inspected brake system and test drove car. "advised customer no problems at the moment". As noted before testing, since no manufacturer defects found was charged $139.95. On 2/11, received call from mgr. Of honda svc. Dept. Due to my negative survey responses. Told him I was not satisfied with answer by employee to my question of why forward collision mitigation/fcm did not brake when getting close to car. Mgr. Stated that fcm is designed not to work when car in neutral or reverse. I consider lack of fcm in neutral to be a serious safety design flaw. Mgr. Then recommended that I open case with honda customer relations which done on 2/14. Rep. Took down my info. And asked what I wanted from honda. I said they need to determine why the brake failure happened and what can be done so I have confidence that it will never occur again. She then gave me a case # and stated that it would need to be referred to the "level 1" dept. Handling accidents/injuries/fatalities. Received a call from "level 1" on 2/17 but was told there was nothing they could do/was a local dealer issue and he was to contact the mgr. Of the local honda svc. Dept. I sent voice/e-mails to mgr. Of local honda svc. Dept. On 2/21 noting my experience with cust. Relations/"level 1", and asking what are the next steps -- awaiting response. I am currently driving the car in fear/on edge. *ln

I own the 6 speed manual trans hatchback sport. Purchased aug 12, 2019. Last night I exited the vehicle, wanting to keep it running and use he headlights to see- put the car in neutral and applied parking brake. Brake failed and car rolled across the parking lot. I religiously apply this brake. I have come to the car before in supermarket lot and such to find the brake off, but chalked it up to having already disabled it myself. This was not the case last night. Huge safety hazard. Needs addressing.
