What owners wrote
May 13th, 2018 driving on the highway doing 50-55 going eastbound on the bay bridge in san francisco -'out of no where' the electric parking brake came on! And I didn't push no buttons! Not quite sure of the malfunctioning, but it cost an accident' cause someone hit me from behind! Also my airbags didn't deploy, but when honda link assistant called and we was told- 'they sense an accident cause of deployed airbags.' I'm afraid to drive a car that nearly killed us.
Just like others have said, I'm also having an issue with the sensitivity of my brake pedal. The brake feels like there are steps to it instead of a smooth linear pedal. I have never driven a car with a brake pedal like this. From the first stop leaving the dealership after buying my 2018 honda accord 1.5, I knew something was wrong with the brakes. The pedal feels binary like the brakes are either on or off and not smooth and linear. It's either full brake or no brake and no in between.
