What owners wrote
Started my car in neutral with the parking brake engaged. The car took off by itself up a curb over a hill and struck another vehicle. I managed to get back in the vehicle and applied the brakes but the brakes did not respond. And my car was serviced at Freeway Honda in Santa Ana three days prior to the accident. I reported the problem with the brakes, they did a brake service, but they did not properly diagnose the issue and fix it. They told me they couldn’t find any problems and release the car back to me.
Car was parked in a parking space in park . Got in car to start it and car rolled backwards while in park and all systems failed could not start car or stop car from rolling had foot on brake pedal , dash board was going thru all systems telling me everything was failing . Double checked park position ,car was in park.. Only way to stop rolling was to put emergency break on. Called aaa same thing happened when tow truck driver tried to start it . Total failure of electrical systems.
