2015 Honda Accord Hybrid Brakes Problems

“New 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid touring. Parked car ran a few errands. Returned to car and it would not start indicating brake system failure, adaptive cruise control failure, ABS failure and check engine light. Tried starting car a few times and car finally started and indicator lights went off. Began driving and lost most of braking functions. Brake pedal went all the way to floor, had to stop car with parking brake. Presently at dealer. Had my 3 children in the car with me.”

“I was driving on a high way and all of the sudden a light came on that said power system fail and I lost the ability to use the accelerator. I stayed calm because there were cars all around me and I began to coast and use momentum to drift to the shoulder of the highway. Then a second light came on and said 'brake system power fail . I tapped the break and it seemed to work but I continued to coast down the shoulder of the highway until I ran out of momentum. I then turned my brand new Honda accord exl hybrid off and restarted the car. …”

“While driving my Honda accord 2015 on interstate 75 in the left lane, the dashboard displayed a warning that there was a power system failure, the engine light came on. The vehicle immediately lost all power. The dashboard display was still lit and the radio continued to play. There was no resistance with the gas pedal and the car could only coast. I checked traffic and changed lanes to the far right emergency pull off. I turned off the car and then restarted it and the power system failure warning was gone but then a brake system warning came on. …”

“This is the second time that my car has had problems at 60 to 70 MPH. It happens when coasting not braking. The high temperature warning for the brakes comes on and the engine shuts down. The car will coast and brake but there is no power. It takes 5 minutes before you can turn the car off and reset. Otherwise the car is locked out and will not function. Today I was on i75 going 70 MPH with trucks all around. This is a safety issue. My local dealer has been responsive but the first time they ran the codes etc the national Honda folks had never heard of this. …”

“Rear disc brake calipers locked up causing emergency brake to stay applied to brakes resulting in loss of brake pad and burning of brake pads and rotors. This is the second time this has happened. Also, brake loss occurred when the car battery failed causing the brake assist system to fail. The second incident resulted in a collision with a parked vehicle.”
