Six problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1998 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The consumer was easing into a parking space with the brakes depressed when the vehicle suddenly accelerated and crashed into a cement wall. This accident occurred on June 7, 2005.

While driving at 55 mph on the freeway consumer attempted to exit beltway off a ramp, applied the brakes, brakes locked up, causing consumer to lose control of vehicle. Vehicle veered over the median into oncoming traffic. Consumer's vehicle was struck by another vehicle coming in the opposite direction on the passenger's side.

Consumer was traveling 40-45mph while it was misty outside, another vehicle cut in front of the consumer. Consumer tapped on brakes & vehicle spun out of control. Did 3 360 turns & each time vehicle hit the guardrails. Brakes did not stop the car. Airbags didin't deploy. . Et.
Car was parked. When started it suddenly accelerated, first backward onto the sidewalk, resulting in a crash. When put into drive it accelerated rapidly despite applying the brakes full force. I estimate speed of 50+ mph down a crowded city street. When I pulled the emergency.
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, pedal is very hard, and there isn't any power steering. Also some type of noise is coming from the vehicle due to lower ball joins wearing out. .
When driving 20-25 mph and upon depressing brake pedal to make a normal stop brakes locked up, causing vehicle to go into a skid, let up on brakes. Throttle was sticking causing engine to race, resulting in an accident. Vehicle was placed in neutral in order to stop. Please provide any further details.
