I was doing 28 mph with both hands on the steering wheel and was about to start declining down a hill, so I lightly touch the brakes. The car left the roadway. The steering wheel never turned. I hit a pile of rocks which launched me into the air landing on a 500 pound boulder which totaled my vehicle. There was only 561 miles on the car and as a result my insurance tripled. I know suffer from PTSD because I no longer trust any vehicle! I also had a very sore neck for weeks following the landing. I reported to the insurance company which was Progressive that there is definitely a defect within the car. I even reported it to the regional office as well. Nobody seems to care! I am a good driver, and at the age of 51 I have not had any accidents. I have no doubt in my mind that the 2023, Honda Civic has a major defect and many lives are at risk!

Honda brake hold system signals as -??HOLD-?? but car continues to roll, and then abruptly stops later than intended. This can cause an accident with pedestrians or other cars and injure passengers from the abrupt movement of the system that is not supposed to move.

Civic 4-cyl

I first received the brand new car with 25 miles on May 5th, 2023. I had it for about an hour and it completely shut down on me in the middle of the road so I took it back that same day and it took them over 2 weeks to give it back to me, I finally received yesterday once again and this morning it broke down on me once again in the middle of traffic and it was due to the same issue that was -??supposedly fixed.-?? I have a 3 year old with me most of the times and if that were to happen in the interstate and the car completely breaks down like it always is, not only would it most likely cost my life but it would cause my 3 year old sisters as well. This car is not reliable at all and I would honestly prefer a different one.
