Consumer Description

I'VE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH HONDA HYBRID BRAKING SYSTEMS ON TWO MODELS (THE 2000 INSIGHT AND THE 2003 HCH - BOTH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS). RECENTLY, AMBIVALENCE COST ME DEARLY. DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, A TRUCK CUT ME OFF. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT FOUND MYSELF ACCELERATING TOWARDS THE TRUCK INSTEAD OF STOPPING. AT THE LAST MINUTE, I SWERVED TO AVOID THE TRUCK AND ENDED UP SKIDDING, ROLLING, AND FINALLY CRASHING TO A STOP. ON A POSITIVE NOTE, I WALKED AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT WITH SOME MINOR SCRATCHES AND NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT. MY CAR HAS SUSTAINED SERIOUS DAMAGE AND I AM WAITING TO RECEIVE FINAL WORD ON ITS STATUS FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *NM
