WHILE DRIVING ON A ONE HI WAY MY PREVENTION SYSTEM DETECTS AND ON COMING CAR IN ITS OWN LANE PERFECTLY LEGAL AND FULLY APPLIES THE BRAKING SYSTEM WITHOUT WARNING OR CAUSE THEN AND AUDIBLE WARNING AND YELLOW LIGHT ON THE DASH TELLING ME TO BRAKE, THE STEERING BECOMES STIFF AND VIBRATES AND HARD TO CONTROL. MEANWHILE THE SPEED OF 65 HAS DROPPED TO 30 MPH AND THE SEMI DIESEL TRUCK BEHIND YOU IS ABOUT TO RUN OVER YOUR CAR ALL THIS HAPPENS WITHIN SECONDS NOT GIVING ME ANYTIME TO REACT VERY DANGEROUS I'VE OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA AMERICA BUT THEY NEED ME TO PROVE IT MY STATEMENT ALONE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO STOCKTON HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS NEVER TEST DROVE IT RETURNED TO ME SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM. MY MOTHER OF 90 YEARS HAS BEEN HURT BY THE SEAT BELT SUDDENLY TIGHTENING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE FULLY APPLIED THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER A DOZEN TIMES SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE HONDA MOTORS IS WASHING THERE HANDS OF IT BY MAKING ME PROVE IT SOMETHING IS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AND NO DEALERSHIP HAS THE TOOL OR TECHNOLOGY TO VERIFY THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION OCCURS ON STRAIGHT, CURVES AND HILLS YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S NERVE RACKING DRIVING ALWAYS TRYING TO STAY A SAFE DISTANCE IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEHIND YOU.
