2009 Honda Accord. Consumer states a problem with the abs and squealing fan belt the consumer stated he encountered a vehicle attempting to cross two lanes of traffic abruptly and without warning. He narrowly avoided a collision, but in the process his vehicle went in a right hand skid with the tires screeching. It became apparent that the anti-lock brakes did not function, no pulsating occurred as he had experienced in previously owned vehicles. The dealer stated the belt was squealing due to it getting wet from the rain.

Brakes are extremely sensitive. Applying the brakes while driving at slow speeds can often give the feeling that the occupants may hit the windshield. . . Even though wearing seatbelts. Honda service tech's have acknowledged that they are that way but maintain "that is just the way they are" and "you're just going to have to get used to it. " I've owned this car almost 2 years and it is the only one I ever drive. . . And I am not able to brake this car smoothly. When I offer to let others drive my car they comment on the touchy brakes and have mentioned that it is a safety hazard. Based on comments by Honda service tech's and other drivers, I feel that Honda is well aware of this poor brake design but refuse to do anything about it.

1) the vehicle shakes at high speed. 2) the vehicle at slow speed sounds like the wheel bearings are grinding themselves down 3) the vehicle vibrates at slow and high speed but more so at high speed when pressing the brake peddle 4) the vehicle was brought to the dealership 3 times for these problems with the drive train and the brakes. Still after the third time of having new brakes and wheel bearing the vehicle continues to vibrate to such a manner as I feel it highly unsafe.

When anti-lock brake is activated, the brake is so weak as none!!! very dangerous when you need brake most and the anti-lock brake has no stopping power! it always happens when the road is slippery.

When various pressure is applied to the brakes the rpms increase and the car surges forward. This is a random occurrence that has happened about 5 or 6 times since I had the car new in September 2006.

The brakes in this car have never worked properly since day 1. Lots of vibration, very touchy, etc. . And I notice alot of break dust in the tires. Definitely a problem.

We experienced a problem in stopping at a red light on our trip back from an out of town trip last weekend. As a result of this experience my wife is now afraid to drive this car. After a few hours of highway driving, and decelerating through an exit ramp, then re-accelerating and attempting to stop at a stop light we experienced and an extremely resistant brake pedal requiring extremely hard pedal pressure and the engine seemed to continue to rev during braking. While stopped at the light the engine continued to rev abnormally. Our 30-year-old son was driving. He did not move his foot from the brake pedal for fear of what would happen. He switched into park and the engine stopped revving. While keeping his foot on the brake pedal he put the car back in drive. Then the engine seemed normal and the brake pedal pressure returned to normal. This was a disconcerting experience because it was abnormally difficult to stop, and we almost ran into a car in front of us. There were three adult witnesses to this frightening episode, my wife, our adult son, and me. We did not use the cruise control at any time during this trip. We took the vehicle to our Honda dealer. They examined the car thoroughly and could find no problems. They hypothesized that this may have been a computer error, but the systems test out fine now. Now our family is left with a car that we know has a serious safety defect, and we drive it in fear that this could happen again, hurting others or us. We also recognize the possibility that this stealth defect may be lurking to hurt others in other 2006 Honda Accord v6 cars.

While I was taking an exit of the highway (traveling about 30-35 mph), gradually applying the brakes, the vehicle's brakes all of the sudden were locked up and the car was out of control. It spun around, steering was locked and engine was cut off. Fortunately, there we're no cars behind me and damage was minimal. Only the rear bumper was hit by the guard rail on the ramp. Took the vehicle to the Honda service center. They did not find any fault in the vehicle. However, I have noticed one thing after I got the vehicle back from the shop - fuel efficiency went up. When I purchase the vehicle, it was averaging about 32-33 mpg. But in pass three to four months the average as about 28 mpg. Initially though was that fuel efficiency was low because of warm weather and a/c turned on. Interestingly, the fuel efficiency went up to 32-33 mpg after I got the vehicle back from the shop. The a/c's on and the driving environment have not change. Fuel efficiency has been consistence for laser few fill-ups.

I was test driving a brand new 2005 Honda Accord lx model. During the test drive, while approaching a traffic signal that was about to turn red, I depressed the brake pedal, but the car did not respond. I continued to depress the pedal, with no response. Because of this I was not able to stop and struck another car in the intersection. I am filing this complaint to ensure the dealership ensures this problem is investigated. The dealer's information: larry simmons Honda 1710 14 street parkersburg, wv 26101.
