What owners wrote

I parked my 2016 honda civic in my garage and set the parking brake. I exited the vehicle and walked into the house. The vehicle must have rolled out of the garage (garage surface is rather flat, probably why I didn't see this happen) down my sloped driveway ended up in the neighbors yard. Vehicle sustained damage to the exhaust, bumper, underside of trunk and right rear tire. Thank goodness that nobody was injured.

Reported at 173 miles, July 2016 Crash

Bought the car in mid february and it began to read "brake system problem" once the car was turned on and stationary a few weeks after. I took it to the dealership in march and they "cleared" the codes and test drove it. In april, the same error appeared but now with more errors such as "tire pressure low, brake system problem, charging system problem and anti lock brake system problem." I took it to the dealership once again and they replaced the "ABS modulator" and "cleared" the codes.
