Description of the problem | I was driving out in the country, i was going around 40mphs when the car felt like an emergency brake was pulled up. The car braked very quickly from 40 to about 5 -10mphs. I stopped ,tested the brakes and began to go again very slowly. After driving a few mins slowly i began to go faster when i hit about 35 mph it rapidly brake again. At this point i was very scared, my kids thought i hit a animal. So i decided to stop, by the time i was able to find a road to pull over onto it repeated it 3 more times only going about 10-15 mph. I had the van towed to my mechanic. He could not find a problem so we had it towed to priority honda in chesapeake, va to have testing done. If this would have happened 24 hrs earlier i was traveling from richmond, va and i would have cause a crash. I will not drive this vehicle until this is resolved. It was very scary and felt that it had put my children along with myself in grave danger. |
