All systems warning lights pop up on starting the car. I came home parked the car and started it 10 minutes later and all systems warning lights came on. Power steering, parking brake, brake failure, collision mitigation system, tpms, lane departure system, traction control system, hill assist system, abs system . All these warnings show up on the dash.
The vehicle was in motion on the highway and the brakes failed to apply as expected. This resulted in a rear end collision that fortunately didn't have any fatalities. The airbags also didn't deploy during the collision. The brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor, but instead of a response back and pressure coming back from the braking system, the braking pedal felt loose and the car instead of coming to a stop, continued to slowly decelerate. I've been driving the car for 2 years and my expectation was that the car should have come to a complete stop instead of just slowing down within the distance between my car and the car in front. There were also no skid marks on the pavement. I suspect the brakes failed and have contacted the manufacturer, the dealership and the insurance company in trying to get this looked into by someone that can come up with a report on the status of the brakes. Unfortunately nobody cared so far, so as a last resource I'm reaching out to NHTSA for possible guidance or even a braking system car inspection.
Tl the contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. While driving 5 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but it was difficult to slow or stop the vehicle. When the vehicle was started, a "brake system failure" warning message appeared. The vehicle was towed to autonation Honda thornton road (located at 1979 thornton rd, lithia springs, GA 30122, (770) 674-6078) where it was diagnosed that the brake software needed to be updated. The software was updated; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
The Honda Civic was in the driveway with the emergency brake set when it was parked. The vehicle has a manual transmission. A few hours later the car alarm was going off and when I went to look to see what was going on I discovered that the car had rolled down the drive and into a telephone pole. The police in my jurisdiction do not take accident reports for accidents on private property therefore a police report was not taken. After the incident I found that there was a active recall involving the emergency brake. When I bought the car on October 8, 2016 I was told there was a "do not sell" note in the computer system due to the recall. The dealer said they could do the download while we did the paperwork. After this incident involving the wreck the car was taken to a local dealer who checked the download and confirmed that the download was up to date. The car was taken back to the dealer two days later to have the brake system inspected which the dealer stated that there were no codes found in the system. This was done at the advice of Honda customer service. Honda customer service contacted me today and stated that at this time they recommend proceeding with an insurance claim. I stated that I thought that since there was an active recall and the recall had been performed on the vehicle and the emergency brake still failed that they would want to take the car to look at. I was told that they would look at the dealer reports and if they found something they would contact me back which seems dangerous to me. What's to say the brake won't fail again and next time there may be someone behind it or in front of it.

Electronic brake failure - turned vehicle on in driveway, brakes locked. Car towed. Honda has a work around process to avoid this. I read posts that this occurred to people while driving on highway. I do not feel safe in this car. Honda does not have a fix for this problem.

I recently purchased a 2016 Honda Civic ex, four door. I was driving to work yesterday morning at 5 am. I had approached apx 56 mph and the vehicle stopped accelerating, across the dashboard screen was a blinking red stating, brake system failure. ! keep in mind, this vehicle is brand new I have less than 5,000 miles on it ! at the time of the screen on the dash blinking what seemed to have been an emergency brake deployed as I was decelerating causing me to come to a stop in the middle of the highway! lucky for me there was no one behind me, because it would have turned fatal. I pulled over on the side of the highway to try and relax. I turned the car off. Turned it back on the brake system was still blinking saying failure. I turned it off again and back on and the light had stopped blinking. I attempted to drive and I did, just thinking it was a freak thing. On my way into boston, the dash lit up again with the same message. When I was safe in a parking lot I called Honda and had my car towed, at this point I no longer felt safe driving my vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the closest Honda dealership in boston. As of yet, they have not decided what is wrong with it. If I get updates I will update them. The last I heard is that the electronic brake system module had failed. How can this be , when the car is new ? how can I have faith driving my vehicle , that this won't happen when I am in traffic and cause a serious wreck? dealing with Honda corporate has been an absolute nightmare! four hours worth of phone calls for them to secure me in a rental so I am safe driving. This is crazy! I am saddened. How can a brand new car have a failure with the brake system ?.
