I am a single mother of 4 all in college working two jobs and I saved money for the downpament for this car for more than a year. I said to myself, finally I have a brand new car that will last me a long, long time. But my hope went crashing down when on July 8, 2010 I was going home from work, my car won't stop until I went through a concrete wall along the road and landed on somebody's backyard. My car was totaled. I bought the car November 2008 and was totaled July 2009. My insurance paid the balance, paid for my medical expenses and fixing the concrete wall. Thank GOD, I only out of my job for three months and until now I have residual pain on my shoulder and hips and see Chiropractic twice a month. I felt so alone with this problem until I came across your website , now I know that I am not crazy thinking that it was my fault as the police report said and gave me a ticket for it. Even now I still have this feeling that if I buy another brand new car, same thing will happen. I wish Honda will take a look into this problem and recall them before other people get hurt and suffer loss. Toyota did, why Honda an exception? Now I don't have car. I am driving a 2000 civic coupe. Thank GOD is still taking me from point A to Point B with 104,000 miles.

Only happens in the winter, not sure why but it's super annoying. I fix the issue by pumping the brakes a few times before driving. You can physically feel the brakes loosen. First time it happened I freaked out and turned my wheel all the way to the right and put the car into neutral. Thank God no other cars were coming or I probably would have crashed. Second time I used my e-brake and that helped a lot.
