Nov 11, 2021Transmission & drivetrainBrakesEngineCrash1 injury
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.

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. [XXX]-OWNER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS CAR HAS HAD A CONTINUAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MECHANISM AND HAS BEEN SERVICED THREE TIMES WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. AND WHEN THE BRAND NEW TIRE BLEW OUT THE SENSOR FAILED. ALSO THE POWER TRAIN IS BAD, THE CAR DRIVES SLUGGISH AND LOSES POWER DURING TURNS AND ALSO IN JUST REGULAR DRIVING .. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL. *TR
