I marcie beebe was traveling down lee summit road, northbound, at 35 mph. I was traveling down a hill and approaching a corner, when I applied my brakes. At that point, my brakes locked up and I was not able to steer the car after that point. I cross into the southbound lane striking a car and into a ditch where my car was stopped by a street sign. I noticed my car was not running were there any lights on indicating my car was still had power. I detect my brakes locked up and this is why I lost ability to steer, causing this misfortunate accident.

I was traveling at less than 15 miles per hour. The traffic was coming to a stop. When I applied the brakes in order to stop, they did not work. I began pumping them, but that did not work right away. After a few times, the brakes finally worked, but it was too late. I was already about to rear end the car in front of me. This happened 2 weeks before when a relative borrowed the car. He almost had to use the emergency brake, but they worked after he pumped them. Honda does not care. They had the brakes tested and said they were fine. I don't care about a huge law suit. I just do not want this to happen to anyone else. I want justice andthe money I have lost for the deductible, the rental car fees, and other losses.
