2010 Honda Pilot Brakes Problems

BRAKES SUDDENLY AND HARD TRYING TO AVOID A CRASH. BRAKES (OR ABS) DID NOT WORK. P BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED NO BRAKING OCCURRED AND RAN FULL FORCE INTO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL TO SLOW SPEED OR STOP TO AVOID OR LESSEN THE IMPACT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED IN COLDER WEATHER, IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE VALVE BOOSTER NEEDING TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED IMPROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. *TR

SIGNIFICANT STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE GOING DOWNHILL ON HIGHWAY 160 IN COLORADO. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER WHO REPLACED LEFT FRONT BRAKE ROTOR AND RE-SURFACED RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ROTOR. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER ON 6/14/2013, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN; THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 33,000 MILES AT THIS TIME. THE HONDA DEALER RECOMMENDED ANOTHER FRONT ROTOR RESURFACE, BUT HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. CLEARLY THIS VEHICLE HAS A BRAKE ISSUE; I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS SHOULD NOT REQUIRE RESURFACING OR REPLACEMENT EVERY 10,000 MILES. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 HONDA PILOT EX IN 3/13/2010. IN THE EVENING OF 4/16/2010, MY WIFE DROVE IT TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER AND MY NEIGHBOR'S DAUGHTER FROM GYM CLASS. WHEN THE CAR APPROACHING THE GIRL'S HOUSE IN A CUL-DE-SAC AND MY WIFE REDUCED THE SPEED BY APPLYING THE BRAKE ENTERING THE CUL-DE-SAC. WHEN SHE TRIED TO MAKE FULL STOP IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, SHE SUDDENLY FELT THE BRAKE WAS VERY SOFT AND UNRESPONSIVE AND IT WOULD NOT STOP NO MATTER HOW HARD SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AND ENDED UP HITTING A PARKED MAZDA PROTG IN THE NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY(ABOUT 10-15 FEET IN FRONT OF MY CAR). THE IMPACT OF THE COLLISION ON THE MAZDA PROTG CAUSES IT TO MOVE FORWARD INTO THE OWNER'S GARAGE ABOUT 4-5 FEET DEEP AND BROKE THE GARAGE DOOR ALONG THE WAY. MY CAR EVEN COULD NOT BEEN STOPPED BY THE MAZDA AND DESPITE MY WIFE CONTINUOUS EFFORT TO STEP ON THE BRAKE FULL FORCE AND PULLING THE SHIFT TO THE LOWEST GEAR POSITION. MY CAR KEPT MOVING TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY TOWARDS 6 FEET HIGH BUSHES. THE CAR RAN OVER THE BUSHES AND WAS FINALLY STOPPED BY A DECK BELONGED TO ANOTHER NEIGHBOR ABOUT 8-10 FEET AWAY. AT THAT TIME, IT IS ONLY 490 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE HONDA HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY A TECHNICIAN/ENGINEER FROM AHM(AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS). THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND SENT ME AN INVOICE STATED AFTER ALL INSPECTIONS COMPLETED IT WAS DETERMINED BY AHM THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE REST OF ISSUES. IT MEANS THAT AHM DID NOT IDENTIFY AND FIX THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND WANT TO THROW IT BACK TO CONSUMER AND LET CONSUMER CONTINUE TO TEST THEIR BRAKES WITH CONSUMER'S LIFE UNTIL MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPEN. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT AHM IS SO HASTY TO DEAL WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY WITH 65 MPH, IT COULD KILL TWO LITTLE GIRLS AND MY WIFE ON THE BOARD AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH ITS 4500 LBS WT. *TR
