2011 Honda Civic Brakes Problems

“Operating my vehicle on 2 lane street in ashburn virginia, applied brakes on car lightly and brakes seem to lock up, auto spun out of control and I landed into pond. I am filing complaint so that NHTSA will have this on file. I have read many complaints of failure of braking systems Honda Civic 2005-2011 thank you”

“I have multiple occurrence where my vehicle does not response when I hit the brakes. Its like the ABS system is not working. It has happened several times. I notice it happen more often if I hit a bump in the road. The problem usually occurs at a slow about of speed. I have been able to avoid accidents by swerving out of the way of cars, but I believe sooner or later I will get into an accident.”

“I bought this car with 10,000 miles. On a few occasions (months apart) while applying my brakes, the pedal collapses to the floorboard and I feel grinding coming from the pedal. This usually occurs at a low speed and on a decline/slope.. For example, leaving a convenience store parking lot. Up to this point, the car has always responded to the brakes, but it is as if I'm bleeding the brakes.. Brake pressure is good and in an instant, it is gone.”

“My 2011 Honda Civic lx-s has only 13,000 miles on it and my brake pads have already worn down to nothing and had to be replaced yesterday. The repair guy told me there is absolutely no way that at such low miles that this should have happened. There must have been a problem with the original breaks on my car and $378 later, I already had to replace them. If every 10,000 miles they have to get replaced that is just unacceptable.”

“At approximately 35 to 40 MPH when applying the brakes lately due to traffic slowing down in front I had absolutely no brake pedal at all. The pedal went immediately down to the floor and the vehicle had failed to slow or stop. To avoid accident I veered to the dirt shoulder and begin to spin out of control ending up back on the road and crashing into another vehicle. The seatbelts had failed to lock as if the brake pedal was never depressed and it appeared that as soon as the tires hit the dirt shoulder the vehicle gain speed. In addition airbags were never deflated.”
