The vehicle experienced an intermittent but sudden and complete loss of braking power while driving on the highway moving at around 40mph. In part due to the low speed, the vehicle was safely maneuvered off the road once braking power was regained. The car dealership was able pin the issue to an electrical circuit failure in the brake control unit (honda error codes v300-49 and v3003-68) and recommended changing the…

I purchased a brand new 2016 honda civic in march 2016. Within the first 6-8 months i began having electrical brake problem issues and getting notifications regarding faulty brakes. I had to call honda roadside assistance at least twice within the first year of owning the vehicle due to the faulty brakes and being stranded. Then came the electrical issues. I would lock the car and all windows would be up when…

While driving my vehicle the brakes slide (vibrate a little) this doesn't always occur but when it does it is obviously felt while using the brake pedal during driving. There is also a noise when i initially start my vehicle, i noticed the only warning light is the brake light alert.

While driving my 2016 honda ex-t dashboard lights started lighting up -emmision, eps, brake hold, etc the car immediately went into" limp mode" while traveling at 70 on the highway. I am told this caused a turbo problem and the turbo will have to be replaced. While researching on the internet this seems to be a common and reoccurring problem that is not being addressed. Since it is a common problem it seems with out…

This is my second complaint in a week. I had parked at a location 30 minutes from home for about an hour. Went to start the car and it would not start. The brake seemed like it was already pushed down to the floor. A warning came across the screen that read brake system problem. I thought the battery was dead so i had it jumped and it started right away. This is ridiculous for a car that's 2 years old. I think i'll…

The vehicle was in motion on the highway and the brakes failed to apply as expected. This resulted in a rear end collision that fortunately didn't have any fatalities. The airbags also didn't deploy during the collision. The brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor, but instead of a response back and pressure coming back from the braking system, the braking pedal felt loose and the car instead of coming to a…

The first time it happened i was at home, and pressed the brake pedal to start the car, it immediately showed there was an electric brake problem on the dashboard.

When brakes are applied, then released, it sometimes take up to two or three seconds to be able to accelerate afterward, even though i am stepping on the accelerator pedal. This is unnerving when entering an intersection (yielding) and you feel you have plenty of time to proceed, until the car fails to accelerate. Honda states it is a safety feature in the event something were to accidentally depress the accelerator…

The collision mitigation braking system engages when there are no objects in front of the vehicle. The system has engaged erroneously numerous times, when driving on the highway and at high speeds (65-70 mph), and the brake engages attempting to bring my vehicle to a complete stop (hard brake).
