I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE KEY OUT OF MY CIVIC 2010'S IGNITION WHILE IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. ALSO, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE FULLY, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO ROLL. *JS THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST, AND I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE MAIN HONDA CORPORATION TO REPORT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO LOOK AT THIS SAFETY DEFECT WITHOUT A $105 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I HAVE CALLED HONDA INC. TO REPORT THE INCIDENT, THEY REFUSE TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND WILL NOT INSPECT MY VEHICLE. *JS

THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE PADS WERE SURLY WORN OUT AND BLAMED ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY DRIVING HABITS, OR I WAS RACING. AT THIS POINT I BEGAN TO LAUGH IN DISBELIEF. THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN SO THEY CAN INSPECT THE PADS. I WENT IN AND WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR THEY TOLD ME MY BRAKES HAD BEEN CHANGED AND I WOULD NOT BE PAYING ANYTHING SINCE THEY WERE CHANGED UNDER WARRANTY. NOT TOO LONG AFTER, THE SAME SQUEALING NOISE BEGAN AND THIS TIME AROUND I KNEW THE DRILL. EVER SINCE I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES MANY TIMES, ABOUT 5 TO BE EXACT, AND ONLY AT 60K MILES. NOT TO MENTION, IM BEGINNING TO WORRY A BIT BECAUSE MY BRAKES SINCE THE RECENTLY LAST TIME I CHANGED MY PADS, THE RESPONSE IN BRAKING HAS BEEN VERY BAD. I DO FEAR FOR MY SAFETY SOMETIMES.

THERE HAVE BEEN THREE (3) FRONT END COLLISIONS ON THIS VEHICLE. 2 WERE DEER RELATED. THE FIRST ACCIDENT WAS A DEER HIT, AT 60 MPH., BODY SHOP SAID BECAUSE THE DEER HIT DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SECOND ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING 69 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. SHE TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET DOWN A DITCH AND BACK UP THE OTHER SIDE, STRIKING AN EMBANKMENT, COMING TO REST 2 FEET FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THE VIRGINIA STATE POLICE OFFICER SAID AT THE TIME, HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DISENGAGED FROM THE CAR. THE LAST ACCIDENT, JUNE 2013, YOUNGER DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 CAR ACCIDENT. SHE REAR ENDED THE CAR AHEAD OF HER WHO HAD REAR ENDED THE CAR AHEAD OF IT. WET ROADS WERE A FACTOR, HOWEVER, THIS WAS AGAIN A FRONT END COLLISION, WITH A SPEED OF 40+ MPH.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD 8000 MI ON IT AT AROUND 18000 IS WHEN I KEPT HEARING NOISES THEN WENT AWAY. NOW AT 22000 MI I BROUGHT IT INTO HONDA TO CHECK IT OUT AS OTHER PLACES SAID BRAKES WERE FINE. (MAYBE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE AS THEY KNEW IT WAS A HONDA ISSUE?) I THINK THIS IS PREMATURE WEARING OUT OF MY BRAKES AS BRAKES SHOULD LAST APPROX. 30000 MI NOT ONLY 10000-11000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO I PAID FOR NEW BRAKES AND KEPT THE OLD PARTS.
