MY DAD HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT. HE SAID THERE SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BRAKE. WHILE HE APPLIED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE TAKING THE EXIT 9 ON I-395, THE BRAKE WAS SLIPPED AND STEERING WAS LOCKED. AS A RESULT, HE HIT A GUARD RAIL PRETTY STRONG AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED BADLY. LIQUID WERE LEAKING AND THE CAR WAS TOWED, BUT AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A FEW TIMES THE CAR DOESN'T START WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE, SO HE HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE HARDER, AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE SLIPPED WHILE DRIVING.
BOUGHT VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN MAY 2017. AROUND 1000 MILES IT STARTED PULLING TO THE LEFT NO MATTER WHAT ROAD I WAS ON. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER TWICE AND THEY PERFORMED TWO ALIGNMENTS AND REALIGNED THE STEERING WHEEL - THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT IS WITHIN HONDA'S REQUIREMENTS. VEHICLE STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT. IF I LET GO OF THE WHEEL AT ALL IT JERKS TO THE LEFT. TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALER AND AM BRINGING THE CAR BACK FOR A TEST DRIVE.
