Started my car in neutral with the parking brake engaged. The car took off by itself up a curb over a hill and struck another vehicle. I managed to get back in the vehicle and applied the brakes but the brakes did not respond. And my car was serviced at Freeway Honda in Santa Ana three days prior to the accident. I reported the problem with the brakes, they did a brake service, but they did not properly diagnose the issue and fix it. They told me they couldn-??t find any problems and release the car back to me. Three days later it was in an accident and the brakes failed. Now freeway Honda has stated that they finally diagnosed the issue with the brakes, but they are refusing to fix it free of charge even though they have been deemed liable for the accident. My rear shocks were also damaged due to the impact of going up the curb and State Farm is investigating that to see if they will be paying for the repair and replacement of the shocks.

This has happened countless times since the day I purchased my car and drove it off the lot. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I am driving, when I take my foot off of the gas pedal, my whole car jars forward like it is my transmission and it missed a gear. It has done this since I drove it home from purchasing it. It makes me nervous because my son is in the back seat and he can tell every time it happens because his head jolts forward.

Honda Civic 2014 LX brake and steering problem I was pulling out our Honda Civic LX 2014 from the parking lot. After reversing I changed to drive gear and was moving forward at 5 to 8 mph. There was a left turn and when I tried to make the turn, suddenly the steering and brake got stuck and the car hit a building, airbags got exploded and my wife who was pregnant for 6 months was severely injured. The car got totaled. Request an investigation so that this should not happen to anyone else in the future. Thank you

He came up behind us he tailgated us for a little while and then we go to pull over or move out of his way and he jumps in front of us stomps on his brakes brake checked us pulls out again after driving forward and then drives to the side and started going off on us say he doesn't do nothing he can do whatever he wants to it doesn't matter and jared and dangering a baby and a pregnant woman. I was required to slam on the breaks to avoid collision which also caused car behind to do the same. Call vehicles in motion. 104th and Colorado.

I recently purchased a 2014 Honda Civic from a local dealer and driving it for almost 3 weeks with no problems but last night on 08/30/2016 I parked the vehicle at a friends house in their driveway on a slight and put the vehicle in park and turned off the engine like I have been doing thousands of times and began exiting the car. The front door was obviously open and the vehicle began reversing! the front door knocked me down since I was so startled nothing has ever happened to me like that before. I have been driving for over 40 years. Fortunately, I am limber so immediately got up, jumped back into the vehicle and slammed on the brakes that did not work either so turned the car into the closest rockery to stop it before it hit another car or a house further down the hill. Obviously, my rear and front fenders are all badly scraped by the rocks clearly visible in the pictures I took. The rockery is fender high so no question. No other scratches could look like this. I went on line and sure enough, found a recall regarding the drive train transmission for this particular make and model. I needed to get this on the record since I could have been seriously hurt.

My son had a car accident on 1/30/2016. A couple of cars in front of him had to make a complete stop because a squirrel was crossing the street. His velocity was aprox. Under 30 miles. When he hit the brakes, they did not respond inmediately and this resulted in a car crash with the car in front of him. The airbag also deployed. This happened on a street close to our home.
