“Approximately 5 weeks ago I was driving locally with my wife and 6 year old son in the car when without warning the brakes suddenly engaged causing the car to come to a sudden stop. The vsa warning light also came on. I pressed on the accelerator but car would not move. After pressing and pulling the brake pedal for several minutes I was able to get the brakes to release. Today I received a frantic call from my wife because as she was driving the car the brakes suddenly locked up while she was driving and caused the car to come to a sudden stop in the middle of the road. …”
NHTSA complaint #10995218, filed 2017-06, 80,000 miles“The back passenger's side wheel had a hot smell coming from it. Honda service determined I had a brake pad that had gotten stuck. Brake pad was replaced, as well as fixing the rotor. The smell continued. Took the car back in and they cannot find one thing rubbing that would cause this hot smell. They are stumped. I am afraid to drive the car due to the strong smell, wondering if something is going to wear out or catch on fire. Many internet blogs have shown many, many Honda owners to be experiencing the same thing. …”
NHTSA complaint #10308455, filed 2010-02, 39,000 miles“Purchased a new Honda crv from bob barbour Honda in greenville nc. In july. After 2,300 miles the rear parking brake was destroyed. Honda refused to fix it under warranty claiming that it was towed with the brake on. It was not, as I checked the brake light and foot pedal when I left. After replacing all the brake pads, rotor and bearings it was still not working right and they determined the cable was bad. When I asked them if that was the cause or effect, they said they were not sure. There was no way to tell. …”
NHTSA complaint #10203363, filed 2007-09, 2,335 miles“The vehicle had all the lights on the dash illuminated. It lost its ABS and vehicle stability control. It did not cause any damage to us since the road was not that crowded. After that we always had to keep a safe distance. Got inspected at Honda showroom and they found that the vehicle stability modulator was not working and it would cost $2000 to have it fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10627665, filed 2014-08, 69,000 miles“The car was in bumper to bumper traffic, driver had foot on brake pedal. The car began to accelerate and would not stop even with foot on brake pedal. Vehicle struck two cars and ended up smashing into the rear of a stopped 18 wheeler.”
