Honda Civic Service Brakes Safety Report | Jan 25, 2014
Reported on Jan 25, 2014
| I HAD TRIED PARALLEL PARKING, BUT COULDN'T FIT IN SPOT. I PULLED OUT OF THE SPOT AND WAS STOPPED PARALLEL TO SIDEWALK ON THE ROAD WITH THE BRAKE ON. SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED MOVING BACKWARD. I HAD NOT PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND I HAD NOT PUT THE GAS ON. I WAS GOING TO START GOING FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT IT WOULDN'T DEPRESS AND STOP THE CAR. I WASN'T SURE WHAT TO DO. I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, BUT I WAS PANICKING BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE CAR WAS BACKING UP WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING AND WHY THE BRAKE WASN'T WORKING. THEN IT STOPPED MOVING. I HAD NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. EARLIER IN THE WEEK, HOWEVER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT, I TRIED TO TURN ON THE RADIO AND THE BUTTON FOR TURNING IT ON DIDN'T WORK FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I WILL CALL DEALER ON MONDAY. | |
