New 2015 honda accord hybrid touring. Parked car ran a few errands. Returned to car and it would not start indicating brake system failure, adaptive cruise control failure, ABS failure and check engine light. Tried starting car a few times and car finally started and indicator lights went off. Began driving and lost most of braking functions. Brake pedal went all the way to floor, had to stop car with parking brake. Presently at dealer. Had my 3 children in the car with me.
The radio keeps freezing, there are many glitches in it. Sometimes the pandora app does not work. Honda lack to update the system to have apple siri eyes free like its website promised.
This is the second time that my car has had problems at 60 to 70 MPH. It happens when coasting not braking. The high temperature warning for the brakes comes on and the engine shuts down. The car will coast and brake but there is no power. It takes 5 minutes before you can turn the car off and reset. Otherwise the car is locked out and will not function. Today I was on I75 going 70 MPH with trucks all around. This is a safety issue.
Pulling out of a shopping plaza onto the highway, driving about 20MPH at first, the rear of the car started shaking mildly. Within a few seconds the car started shaking excessively, vibrating very loudly. I thought I had 2 flat tires but then the indicator lights came on...the check engine symbol and the "power system problem" I immediately pulled over and checked the vehicle all of the tires were ok.
