6 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/21/2019

After my "brake system" light came on and the dealership denied it even though I had record of it, my car decided to see how fast it could hit the brakes. I was driving on the us-60 in phoenix, arizona with adaptive cruise control on, traveling at 65 mph during morning rush hour, so it's still dark, on a 6 lane freeway. I can see brake lights far ahead, so I lightly tap my brakes to disengage acc and slightly slow the car down. The car had other plans and the brakes completely locked up like it was using the emergency braking for collision mitigation� but no warning/info showed on the dashboard as it normally does when emergency systems engage. So basically my car decided it wanted to slam on its brakes in the middle of a busy freeway, near bumper to bumper traffic, all because I lightly touched the brakes-- it was not abrupt, it was not a hard push. . . It was literally to turn off acc. I watched the rear view mirror as the SUV behind me was about to put my trunk in the engine compartment, but thankfully they were able to swerve into the hov lane next to us. They barely missed me and if that open spot was not there for them, I'd likely be seriously injured or dead. Honda has ignored my messages and it's time to let our government know this car has issues.

7 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2018

I was driving straight down a residential street, accelerating and the braking system automatically stopped the vehicle and the transmission automatically went into neutral. The car motor was still running but the car was inoperable. The gearshift indicated the car to be in drive but would not accelerate. I moved through the automatic gear shift selections but nothing happened. The dash brake failure contact dealer light appeared, then transmission failure contact dealer warning light appeared. I called the dealership and was instructed to turn the car off and restart, which I did. The car restarted, there were no warning lights and I was able to drive the one block to home. The dealer told me to drive it to the dealership which I did not do as I did not feel it was safe. It was fortunate I was not on a freeway or in traffic as I most likely would have been rear ended because it came to a complete stop unexpectedly; for no apparent reason and no notice like brake stop lights to warn other drivers the car was stopping. I had the car towed to the dealership. I was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced.

8 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2018

On may 25th, I was driving on the interstate when I noticed the brake warning light flashing on the dashboard. I was the only vehicle on the interstate when the brake warning light appeared. On may 29th, I took my car to a local dealership for an inspection. The dealer did not find any errors when they put it on the computer.

9 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2018

Brakes grabbing and almost uncontrollable. At low speeds, touch brakes lightly and they do little to stop the car. Depress brakes harder and the pedal 'steps' in and the brakes grab abruptly. Very difficult to brake smoothly / non-abruptly. As a result, at least one time abs kicked in prematurely when road surface covered with snow. But core problem (grabby brakes) are irrespective of road surface.
