WENT TO A BURGER PLACE TO GRAB A BITE AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5.5 TOTAL MILES, PULLED INTO A PARKING SLOT WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT UPON RETURN, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, AND AS I STARTED TO VERY SLOWLY PULL OUT IN THE CROWDED LOT, THERE WAS THIS VERY LOUD SCREECHING SOUND, LIKE THE HAND BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. I STOPPED AND TRIED AGAIN, LISTENING MORE INTENTLY NOW, THE SOUND PERSISTED. AT THAT TIME SOMEONE RAN UP TO ME AND SAID I SHOULD DISENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT IT WASN'T ON. I THEN ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND RELEASED SAME FOR EFFECT, BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, REMOVED THE KEY, AND LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THEN TRIED AGAIN, BUT NO GOOD. FROM MY PARKED POSITION NOW, I TRIED GOING BACKWARDS, AND DISCOVERED THE SOUND HAD "STOPPED", EXCEPT THAT WHEN I MOVED FORWARD, IT WAS EVER SO LOUD. AT THIS WRITING, NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, WE'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A YEAR WITH NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE; THEREFORE, THEY ONLY CHANGED THE BRAKE FLUID. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,400. UPDATE 05/06/11
