“A few times when I attempt to stop at a light or stop sign the vechicle would not stop even when I had the brakes on. I have to take my foot off the brake and push down again to get the car to stop, also a few times when I am at a complete stop the engine starts to revvs as if it wants to take off, I took my car to Honda and they could not duplicate the problem so they said they couldn't do anything about it.”

“Breaks seem off & weak a year after ownership. Took into dealership look into problem. Said they looked great and completed multi point inspection. Gave me paperwork saying they were still good. Few months later vehicle would shake and break poorly. Took it back to dealship for service. Then said I need to replace all breaks and rotors. Two weeks later after replacing everything breaks still seem off and make screeching sound. Taking vehicle back third time for breaks in 6 months.”

“While driving on the beltway on a light rainy day, I drove through a couple of inches of sheeted water, on the road way. The water was pushed up over the top of the vehicle in a solid sheet, that was heavy enough to completely obscure vision for at least 3 seconds. This happened once while accelerating onto this toll road and again a mile or so further down the road when I was traveling at freeway speed. Visibility was completely lost while traveling in a very light rain in non flood conditions at entry ramp speeds and then again when we were cruising at about 65 MPH, down the toll road. …”
