What owners wrote
December 27, 2019 my daughter caitlynn was driving her 2016 hrv LX on ira hicks blvd near 341 east in ft valley georgia. A semi-truck pulling a lowboy trailer was stop at a rail spur crossing with the rail arms down and red lights flashing. The brakes fail causing her car to crash into the rear of the semi-truck. The airbags did not deploy in the crash. Caitlynn sustained minor injuries to the face and neck.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda HR-V. The contact stated that while stopped, the ABS, Brake, traction control, and several other warning lights flashed on the instrument panel. The contact called the dealer and was informed that the vehicle was safe to drive to the residence, but not for regular daily use. Once the contact was at the residence, the contact repeatedly restarted the vehicle after the warning lights turned off; however, the warning light returned after additional restarts.
