1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2024

I was driving in town so, each block has either a stop sign or a traffic light. I realized that my brake pad seemed to get spongy. At the red light as I was nervous that there was something wrong I looked down and seen a light blinking but, it was my oil light. After heading to the next block my brakes were suddenly not doing anything and the pedal went down to the floor. I was not going fast so I decided that if I had to I would pull the emergency brake. I did that as well to no avail. I went to the closest parking lot and checked all my fluid. My oil was fine, my brake fluid was low. I added brake fluid and went on my way. The following day I left my home as usual and another light came on. The oxygen sensor. I'm not sure why the vehicle is doing this as I do keep up with maintenance. I have spoken with a mechanic , his assessment was it could be anything yet seems to be electrical. I did some research do to the fact that my car has been with me since 2009 (used). I would love to keep my car for as many more years as possible but, I also have to be safe. At this point it has to be something wrong with the products I'm using on my vehicle.

This vehicle on has 66,580 mile and the abs modulator went bas on rear passenger side. Notice brake was not working and took to shop.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2014

After starting the car I put my foot on the brake pedal, took off the emergency brake, and put the car into drive. My foot was still on the brake, but the car took off at a high speed as if I had floored the gas pedal, and would not stop with my foot still on the brake pedal. I threw the gear into park and turned off the ignition. This same thing happened to me in September 2009 while I was driving on the long island expressway. At that time the brake would not stop the car, so I put the car in neutral and pulled off the road, put the car in park and turned off the ignition. In September 2009 I called the Honda dealer about the problem and was told not to bring the car in, that I must have had the mat jammed on top of the gas pedal. That was not the case today or in 2009. This isba deadly dangerous problem. Please investigate this and put out an alert on tv to all car owners that if their car should get stuck in acceleration mode they should put the car in neutral and turn off the ignition. Thank you.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2010

Abs problem - sacred to drive when it snows I have a 2006 Honda crv and Honda accord. The problem is more prominent on the crv. When there is snow on the road, abs kicks in and the car does not stop when braking, even when the speed is only 10mph. This happens more if coming down a gradient. The gradient can be very little. This really scares me as I cannot do anything to prevent it. I never had such a problem with my 16 year old Honda civic, which didn't have an abs system. . I do agree, that the owners manual says about this. But I don't understand, why the abs has to come online even at very low speeds. Abs in effect only increases accidents. We were very lucky so far, that we never had a crash, but were very close to make an accident.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2007

I purchased new a Honda crv in June, 2005. On August 15, 2007 with 24,064 miles the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $275. 54 which being under warranty Honda paid for. On February 16, 2009 with 39,477 miles again the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $342. 12 which the dealership paid for as they knew I was very upset. I have called Honda customer service about this each time and all they do is note it on my record. I feel that there has to be a problem somewhere that they aren't acknowledging or don't care to. Granted I have had no out of pocket expenses but don't feel this should be happening. I feel Honda's engineers need to look at this and if necessary change the whole system so I'm not changing rear brakes and rotors every 15,000 to 20,000 miles. I know of several other people who have the same vehicle and have had the same problem.
