Brakes Failed problems of the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid. While driving approximately 65 mph, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle even with the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard. The contact stated that all the instrument panel indicators illuminated, including the brake indicator. The contact managed to shut off, restart, and move the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to herb chambers Honda of westborough (774-760-0500, located at 350 turnpike road, rte 9, westborough, MA 01581) where it was diagnosed that the brake simulator needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000. The VIN was unknown.

While slowing down to make a turn, warnings started popping up on the driver display listing numerous failures and the brake system failed. (there were about half a dozen errors but I didn't catch them all . . . "adaptive cruise control problem�, �brake system problem", "vehicle stability assist problem", "collision mitigation system problem", "road departure mitigation system problem", etc. This happened 3 times over the next 15 minutes as we tried to make our way home. Luckily we were on local roads at lower speeds�less than 40. The first time it happened my husband was breaking while approaching a red light at about 5-10 mph but we barely stopped in time. There was a very minimal stopping power. We turned into a parking lot and called Honda. The rep said �yes that was a random problem and to turn the car off and restart. The problem will be fixed. � however it happened 2 more times on that outing. I'm afraid to drive the car and I use it often to transport my grandkids.

While driving 6 warning lights pop up on the dash and the brakes fail. The information center of the dash scrolls through saying "brake system problem", "vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem", "hill start assist problem", "collision mitigation system problem", "road departure mitigation system problem", "adaptive cruise control problem". This has happened while driving on the highway and on suburban roadways at various speeds. The last time it happened I was breaking while approaching a red light and nearly rear ended the person in front of me. A diagnostic was done and the brake simulator and tandem motor were determined to require replacement.

There have been three instances of total brake failure. Initial instance occured on vehicle startup, a number of errors were given including "aadaptive cruise conrtol problem","collission mitigation system problem","road departure mitigation system problem" and "brake system problem". When I put the car in drive it immediately began moving forward. Car was towed to dealer where Honda blamed the issue on the undercaoting causing components to overheat. This was October 2018 in philadelphia. Replaced brake system and removed undercoat on affected areas. Second instance occured in February 2019 it had stopped raining but road was still wet and had puddles. Driving downtown, at a yellow light brakes completely failed, I ran the light and was able to stop with emergency brake. Car was giving the same set of errors. This time restarting the car made errors go away. Brought to the dealer, they said they did a software update but could not replicate the problem so did nothing else. Third instance was February 2nd, while driving about 30-40 mph, again either after rain had stopped or still had a slight drizzle. This time I saw the errors while driving before I needed to break and recognized the issue. Managed to use emergency brake to pull over. Again restarting the car cleared the issue, I have not brought back to the dealer yet.
