I completely lost brakes in Atlantic city a few months ago, nearly crashed the car , Honda claims that the vehicle was tampered with, when i can assure it was not, so it was not covered under warranty. This car has had nothing but problems and I didn't feel like it was safe to drive. I sold it and now drive a beautiful Chrysler 300c, nice car. Anyway i will never buy a Honda again , they really aren't reliable, and in my precept are dangerous.

Our brakes keep locking up and the car won't stop. The first time I thought it was the snow maybe although I was only traveling about 5 mph on plowed pavement. The next time I was rolling to a stop at a couple miles an hr an the brakes lost power completely. This car has been a nightmare. It smells like something's burning and since day one we've not gotten more than 23 miles to the gallon although we pamper it. I plan to take it to the dealer on Monday.
