What owners wrote
Car accelerated and brakes failed completely. This was a fatality accident. When approaching a red light the car did not slow down at all. This accident occured in the middle of a clear day. Reports showed the driver had no alcohol or drugs in their system. I have the black box data that was recovered from the scene and can forward it to you as an attachment.
The brake system in my 2007 pilot with 60,000 miles failed with no warning. When I press the pedal to make a sudden stop the car continues to move forward. It takes the pressure of both feet on the pedal to make the car stop. Air is being collected in the lines and has to bled almost daily. Honda diagnosed the problem being a faulty brake booster. At no time was there an indication the brakes were failing. Honda claims this is a rare issue and will not cover this safety issue under warranty.
