On march 18, 2005, i was driving my 2004 honda accord ex v6 on i 680 when my tcs and abs lights illuminated. i got scared and released the accelerator but since the exit i needed was approaching, i slightly depressed the brake pedal. immediately the steering wheel jerked out of control and i slammed into the right guardrail extremely hard, causing all driver's side airbags to deploy and i continued spinning out of control and the car felt like it was not stopping as it crossed two lanes and continued driving onto the median, eventually stopping as it hit and rode up on the guardrail on the median. the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and there was absolutely no braking present in the car. the car was deemed totalled by insurance. honda was called but todd (svc rep) said that "we dont like to hear that about our cars."
a grinding and shaking when braking, was told by the dealer that i must not be used to the anti-lock braking system the roads were completely dry and no reason for the anti-lock brakes to come on, i called my dealership again , they proceeded to tell me it just needed a minor adjustment and it was all set. back a 3rd time , they replaced the front brakes and realigned , to which i recieved the car again unfixed . service manager was very arguementive and rude and told us there was nothing wrong with our vechicle and if we had a problem from here we would need to speak the honda motor corp. service manager . he indicated that it was a problem that honda is seeing in the accords in states where the climates are varied and cold, also he said he would roll up his sleeves and get it fixed for us. after 13 days in the repair shop and new brakes,tires,rims and some other minor componets our car was returned to us with the original service person having a totally different tone to his voice and he also said he was not sure if they fixed it ! well, guess what they did not !!!!!!!! my car is just over a year old and they want me to fix it yet again and i feel like they should give us a new vehicle or buy us out of this one and they said no that they only obligation is to keep fixing it and that was from the dealer and the honda consumer relations department also. the relations department offered to have a different dealer work on it but i just feel like this car is a lemon. in my own investigative work with a few people i know who have the same vehicle as me (3 people) 1 has had the exact problem (different dealer), 1 has had no brake problems and 1 has had brake problems but not exactly like ours. in addition when talking with the honda motor corp. consumer relations it took weeks for them to contact me and when i finally did talk to them they said they would have it fixed 1 more time but could not guaranteee me that the problem would be fixed. ...
The 2004 honda accord i leased brakes are too sensative. according to the dealer and honda corporate, they have had numerous complaints but tell me it's the way the car was designed. in my opinion, it's a huge safety issue, as the car jerks to a stop the moment the brakes are touched. this morning again, the dealer told me i simply need to get used to the brakes. we have been driving the car for almost 10 months now and we are not used to it yet.
