While driving consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. This caused consumer's vehicle to rear end another vehicle in front. Upon impact, driver's side air bag did not deploy. But passenger's side air did deploy. Driver sustained neck and back injuries, and was taken to the hospital for observation. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance company.
2001 Honda Accord, steering wheel lost out of control, brakes did not function properly. There was no control with the steering wheel and the brakes did not respond. The failure of these two main components caused a serious collision on the freeway. Possible suspension system failure.
The passenger window hangs and gets stuck in the guide. I have had it fixed 3 times and now it needs a 4th fixing. The anti-lock braking system engages prematurely, making braking ineffective at highway speeds.
Customer lost control of vehicle, resulting in a crash while attempting to disengage cruise control with foot brake w on wet surface. Rear tires completely locked when customer tapped the foot brake to disengage speed control,causing vehicle to skid. Customer attempted to "stomp-and-steer" vehicle, (as is implied with abs), brakes became unresponsive and pedal travelled to the floor. Customer then applied full throttle to try to pull the vehicle out of the skid, which was unsuccessful due to the traction control overpowering customer's attempt to steer and accelerate out of the skid (the tcs automatically applies front brakes to limit wheel spin at speeds below 20 mph. Even though vehicle was travelling at 70, computer must have registered under 20 at that point). Vehicle violently spinned out of control off the highway down a 40 foot embankment.
On three different occasions my brakes have completely failed during the same circumstances: in each instance I am driving highway speeds, I brake to a stop because of traffic, when traffic stops I let off my brakes and the car starts moving forward. If I need my brakes immediately I find I have absolutely no brakes. The car doesn't even slow down. The second time this happened I rear ended a car that was three car lengths in front of me because I had no brakes! the other two occasions happened exactly in the same way, but the cars ahead of me started moving and I was able to keep from hitting them.
