1 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2017

As I was driving on the highway on the left lane at a speed of 60-65 mph, all the safety systems on the car reported error and I lost the brakes on the car. I was able to move into the right most lane and eventually onto the shoulder of the highway and come to a rolling stop by shifting into neutral. I tried to restart the car to see if the sensors reset, but that didn't happen. I had to get towed home and then to the Honda dealership. After a day the Honda service department called me back and suggested that there was some kind of a simulator issue on the car and that part had failed and needs to be replaced. I was lucky that I walked away from this without any accident. However, this has surely impacted me and my wife emotionally. We are not confident with the safety of the car anymore.
