What owners wrote
I previously drove my aunt's 2005 honda accord hybrid on several occasions. Almost as soon as the vehicle was purchased, on more than one occasion, the brakes failed and caused accidents. The accelerator would also accelerate on its own. The car would simply speed up on its own. The car would also at times stop or turn off on its own. I assumed because the car was a hybrid or different that it was normal. At times when accidents would occur, I couldn't believe what had happened. The car literally drove away.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving 20 MPH, the vehicle accelerated automatically and the brakes failed. The contact had to drive off the road and crashed the vehicle into a small tree. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to an auto body shop for repairs and to have the brakes inspected. He discovered online that other vehicles were experiencing the same issue. The contact feels that honda is at fault and are not doing anything to correct the issue.
