NHTSA Complaint #11231109 — 2011 HONDA CIVIC

AT APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES LATELY DUE TO TRAFFIC SLOWING DOWN IN FRONT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL. THE PEDAL WENT IMMEDIATELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE HAD FAILED TO SLOW OR STOP. TO AVOID ACCIDENT I VEERED TO THE DIRT SHOULDER AND BEGIN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ENDING UP BACK ON THE ROAD AND CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE SEATBELTS HAD FAILED TO LOCK AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NEVER DEPRESSED AND IT APPEARED THAT AS SOON AS THE TIRES HIT THE DIRT SHOULDER THE VEHICLE GAIN SPEED. IN ADDITION AIRBAGS WERE NEVER DEFLATED.
