Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was traveling at less than 15 miles per hour. the traffic was coming to a stop. when i applied the brakes in order to stop, they did not work. i began pumping them, but that did not work right away. after a few times, the brakes finally worked, but it was too late. i was already about to rear end the car in front of me. this happened 2 weeks before when a relative borrowed the car. he almost had to use the emergency brake, but they worked after he pumped them. honda does not care. they had the brakes tested and said they were fine. i don't care about a huge law suit. i just do not want this to happen to anyone else. i want justice andthe money i have lost for the deductible, the rental car fees, and other losses. *ak
