Consumer Description

for the 3rd time the vehicle's brakes have failed. First time was April of 2021 when the brakes failed and the car went backwards and did not stop and knocked over my mailbox and went into the road. I then put the car in drive and went forward and had to put the gear in Park quickly. I had the Honda dealership examine the car and found no problem. The same problem occurred earlier this year when I backed up and the brakes failed the same way. This time I went into the street. I had the car towed to Honda dealership and they found nothing wrong. Last Wednesday I was slowly pulling into a car space when at a low speed the brakes failed and slammed into a client's building. Damage occurred to their building. I am waiting for the dealership to examine the car Wednesday Nov 2. I am afraid to drive the car.
