Description of the problem | The brakes operated on their own as i made a left turn and was ascending a highway ramp at 20mph. I was able to pull to the shoulder and turned off the motor. I turned it on again and drove 45 miles to my home without further incident. In february, 2012, i made a right turn ascending a highway ramp at about 25mph. The brakes operated on their own. Again, i was able to pull to the shoulder, turned off the motor and turned it on again. This time i drove it 100 miles to the place where i purchased it and left it there (it was a saturday night). Neither the agency where i purchased it nor the honda agency 60 miles from my home could find a problem. In april, 2012 the brakes operated on their own after making a right-hand turn. I was going 20-25mph. I pulled over, turned it off and turned it on again. Again, nothing was found to be wrong. It happened again in june, 2012 and nothing was found to be wrong. In november, 2012 it braked again. I left the motor running and called the place where i purchased it. They came and drove it to their shop (it tried to brake 5 times during the 10 mile drive but did not succeed). A steering angle sensor was replaced per the codes. March, 2013, 250 miles from home it did it again. I pulled to the shoulder, turned it off and turned it on again and drove 250 miles home. Honda refuses to acknowledge a problem because there isn't a "history", but pilots and acuras had a recall in march, 2013 for this same problem. It is a definite safety issue. Do i have to be killed before honda acknowledges this problem? |
