While driving on highway, my car started to lose power. My attempts to maintain speed resulted in my car stalling and lurching forward, intermittently. I had to pull over on the side. Someone with a diagnostic tool checked and the tool read out indicated "Fuel rail pressure too low" and ABS indicated as abnormal.

I was in reverse backing into my parking space and all of a sudden my gas petel accelerated driving my car so fast over a curb and into a stone wall. This is not the only vehicle that reported to Honda american, but the same malfunction of gas petal causing the vehicle to accelerate at a high speed. Reported to my insurance and Honda american. My car now if I put it in drive it starts driving on its own. Also in reverse it starts driving on its own. I don't have to step on the. Gas petal it moves on its own. I am awaiting for Honda America to send a representative to my Honda dealer with me to inspect. I am asking Honda american to pay repair of my vehicle. $1,082. Honda is willing to tow my car, but can't promise me a vehicle while being repaired. Honda America sent someone to tow my car, without notification to me. I canceled the tow, for I had fractured my elbow and needed to speak with Honda America. I am waiting for a return phone call to so we may get my car inspected by a Honda representative. I will not pay to have my car repaired, for it was a malfunction of the gas petal. Others have reported this problem, but it is not listed as a serious problem which is unsafe to drive.

After 10,000 miles several deep concentric grooves are worn into the front brakes. My dealership, walsh Honda (laura meeks), responded to my email concern (with pictures) that these are "not uncommon and no safety concern". walsh Honda scheduled me to replace my rear brake shoes on 9/5. walsh Honda offering to replace rear brake shoes (which are perfectly fine) to fix deep front rotor grooves is not acceptable obviously.

Brakes feeling "mushy", peddle going to floor when using brake to take car out of park. Took car to dealer # 1.after an hour of waiting told car ready.(mechanic) and service adviser were both there, had hard brake, I asked what the problem was and they said the mechanic said he did not find any wrong.took car on test run took it back ten minutes later still had same problem. Asked service manager to "bleed " brake lines he refused at first saying I would have to pay for it, I said no and I am not leaving until brakes are bled, he told service advisor to use some coding so I would not have to pay for it. After waiting about an hour car ready brakes felt good drove home. The next morning (Saturday) brake pedal down to floor, same problem. Took car to another Honda dealer they could not take me right away, made appointment for another day. Service manager met me upon arrival, I asked him to verify pedal down to floor, he got in and drove car off. About two hours later car ready brakes "fixed" he said all that was done was to "bleed" brake lines again, said first time done was 'piss poor".took car home the next morning same problem, pedal down to floor, "mushy brakes".called Honda corporate and reported problem and took car back. Got loaner car. They had replaced a vsa modulator.this was on 7/13/17. On 7/19/17 started car put foot on brake pedal down to floor, "mushy brakes. Took car back on 24 July, room-mate had to go to hospital.picked up car on 26 July nothing has been done to fix car. I think they are covering up a problem. I think it kind of strange that a mechanic would meet with you along with the service advisor and also strange that a service manager would personally take care of you.
